วีดีโอ

I don't notice an issue with latency at all, but I have little to compare it to. When I played WoW for a while on OCE servers, the main thing that stuck out to me was how smooth the game ran, not how much faster my latency was.

@@vuldyn_ Cheers, maybe I'll give it a go again soon and see how Arkenstone is doing in my absence.

Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video. That particular gibberish string is wildly out of date at this stage and no longer works. I am planning on making a newer version

There is a hot key to make the ui go away (f12 by default). If you want to make specific elements disappear, and there isn’t a specific option for it, then you’ll need to use a skin.

The flies will be your biggest problem, not the slugs. Best way it have your support CC both flies while you kill the rest of the mobs. If you accidentally wake one up, then just focus it down

@@vuldyn_ agreed, the flies a prio due to their ugly fields. But as soon as the slugs/flies appear we receive a huge damage spike which usualy one shot one of us and we dont understand whats going on.

@@juanzulu1318 that is likely to be the flies induction called “infection” immediate CC is the solution as it cannot be otherwise interrupted

@@vuldyn_ oh, ok. Thats interesting. With CC you mean stun or mezz, right? Like the tools from the Loremaster or the 3s stun of the champ? How can we identify a non-interuptable induction?

@@juanzulu1318 yep, any ‘hard’ cc that a mob is not immune to will interrupt an otherwise uninterruptible induction. Fears, daze, stun, knockdown, or Fellowship Manoeuvre. All classes should have access to some form of hard CC, but support tends to be the best at it. For example, this one is best solved by LM bane-flare, since it’s a fast AoE Daze that lasts quite a while. If you have the option turned on to show enemy inductions, you’ll be able to see an uninterruptible induction because it will be a grey bar filling up, as opposed to a normal yellow one. We often call them ‘grey bar inductions’ for this reason.

Hoping to get back into it soon, especially for the new xpac

BTW i signed

Yes! DPS values are a bit all over the place, but the instance is definitely still doable.

@@vuldyn_ ok thanks, we just suck then. Can’t even do it on t3 with the kiting cheese.

@@acidrain99 I personally think the cheese is harder haha, just gotta learn to move together!

@@vuldyn_ yeah I’m really not sure what we are doing wrong. Have followed this guide as best we can. Tried to get everyone’s mitigations up, keeping the ferocious vermin stunned, but the tiny vermin just wreck the day. Going to record some runs and see if I can figure it out.

There’s an option to move it around in the plug-ins manager window for that plugin.

oh wow, sorry for wasting your time with such trivialities. Found it, thank you 1000 times!@@vuldyn_

Capped offensive stats will help as the faster you kill the boss the less difficult the fight gets. Otherwise focus on physical mits and make sure you have enough morale to survive a debuffed infection cast. Get phys mits as high as possible, make sure you’re above 1mil morale, and have the champ debuff the infection cast with challenge.

@@vuldyn_ wow thanks for the instant reply. Now I’m going to sound stupid: How come it’s physical mit? I was making the assumption that stuff like Infection was going to be tactical mit? Is there a way for me to tell what kind of mit I need for a given effect? Having one-hit death issues on final boss in apothecary, built up tactical mit but maybe I’ve done the wrong one :D

@@acidrain99 you can check using a plugin like combat analysis or by looking through the combat log to see what damage type particular effects are

It doesn’t seem to be repeatable to have them not spawn at all, though their spawn rate does seem to be linked to how identical you let their inductions actually go off. The best way to avoid them is to turn on the overhead indicator for inductions so you can see them very clearly as soon as they spawn, giving you around 2s to interrupt or 3s to move.

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful :) Those fort icons are setup using gibberish, basically having the 5 different buff icons stacked on top of each other, very transparent when inactive and almost solid when active.

@@vuldyn_I did manage to capture them into a collection but couldn’t figure out how to make them pop when in use, they are currently solid unchanging icons

I'm not sure sorry! Looks like it's probably from a festival

Me too! I haven’t been able to find any plug-ins that edit the enemy name plates, though I’d be very very interested if it were possible

Thanks!

For this raid the consensus has been Brawler + Guard combo due to the utility needed, CDs available, and what roles the other classes were best suited to. Warden, Captain, and even Chank could probably tank the fight fine, but for an optimal comp you usually want as many different classes as possible, to not overlap buffs, so the best spots for those classes were in other roles. Brawler just doesn't die when boss tanking, their ability to live under that type of dmg is unparalleled, and Guardian offers some really powerful CDs that work very well against this fight in particular.

@@vuldyn_ Thank you for the quick, personalized reply. I'm just a yCapt player and dont know much about the other tanks. I'm having a hard time trying out other tanks, because I find the Capt utility (specially combat rezz) to be invaluable (and I like to do t5 3 mans). Could you elaborate a bit more what the blue brawler brings and how it does so well staying alive as compared to other tanks. I really want to be open to doing other tanks. Any comments on utility and such on all tanks is also welcome. Thank you again !

@@AxisSabian1 Yeah cappy tanks are in a really good spot right now, and you'd be totally fine playing the tank role in the raid. The reason we didn't bring one for prog is because red captain is so good right now, and we want to minimise doubling up on classes. That and Brawler and Guard do a slightly better job. Brawler brings some really nice offensive support with group-wide dmg buffs, and Gut Punch, an incoming damage debuff. That alone puts in ahead of captain in terms of group utility. It also has an OP raid-wide defensive buff, and LOTS of good ways to reduce incoming dmg without necessarily needing mits. That means it can live a long time despite having a tank debuff that removes mitigations. Guardian does similar, but less than brawler on both ends of the utility. A nice dmg buff, and nice defensive help, but not as much. Guardian is awesome at tanking adds (especially dangerous ones like the Druzog) since they have 10.5s taunt duration, and CDs that work well against many adds. The specific CDs that work really well in the end part of the fight are Juggernaut and Pledge. They allow you to pretty much guarantee you will BPE any attack, and all the dangerous attacks from the shard can be BPEd, which is not too common with bosses these days. That combined with Catch a Breath, Redirect, and Warrior's Heart make Guardian CDs pretty outstanding at living for a long time under those two bosses at once.

@@vuldyn_ Wow ! Thanks for the details ! In terms of t5 3 mans, would brawler be better choice or Capt (as tanks, of course).

@@AxisSabian1 I would say brawler is actually one of the worst tanks for 3-mans, since you can run without a healer with captain, guard, warden etc. Brawler is a bit of a raid specialist, because the other tanks are a bit more self sufficient when it comes to smaller less punishing content.

I'm on Landroval :)

@@vuldyn_ this good server for raids and runs or not

@@mr.whitegames6241 I would say so, but it depends what you are looking for of course. The culture here is very good, and lots of kins are very welcoming, but there aren't that many groups that run at or above T3 raid level.

@@vuldyn_ i play in gladden if i see many runs all weeks i will transfer

@@mr.whitegames6241 I'm sure there are lots of groups on Gladden as well :)

Yes I guess credit where credit is due. The shiny world of WoW plugins is but a dream from here haha

Of course! They are based on the boss’s health. I believe they start spawning in the front left at 60%, then every 10% until 40% in the back right.

@@vuldyn_ So you want to start the run in the back right (towards entrance ) and move around clock-wise? I think that is what I gathered from watching your video.

@@AxisSabian1 No, clockwise. but you’re only going to move one square. It’s basically determined by how fast you are going, if you watch the video you’ll see we only use 2 quadrants of the room each run, back right then front right. If you need more time to cleanse your disease again, just start in the back left and move early.

I am assuming you are talking about boss 2? If so you should check out my newer video for t5 of that boss, the strat will work on any tier.

Thanks!

Yeah… bit of a drive-by crime from me. Oops!

Awesome! Glad it helped!

I don't believe I had a plugin telling me about Tail Whip, just the in game UI

Hoping to get back into it soon!

LOL!

Hey no problem! Glad you have found it helpful :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)

Was done live, wasn’t really made for anyone further than my kin mates, but hopefully there was some helpful stuff in there :)

Thanks! Hope it helps :)

@@vuldyn_ it is a great help thx mate :)

You should!

Sounds good 😂 let me know when you want to run again

Will do buddy-roo

Thanks very much! I plan to :)

I am working on setting up a way to share them! Keep your eyes out :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :) My plugin setup is quite limited, just Gibberish for all trackers and timers, vitalTarget for mob health %, mini raid for fellow health, PrimeVitals for my health, and mouse finder for finding my mouse. On warden I use bevy o bars for masteries, though I’m only trialling that now.

Thanks! Captain tank does just fine, you just have to rely on other classes to perform some of those key jobs like AoE stuns and CR. Running with a champ can help with stuns, and Warden/mini etc can help with CR.

No problem! Hope it helps :)

No problem! Glad it was helpful :)
