    Sure, but that's not going to end up being that much more rage.

    Yes, that would get you slightly more rage, but it wouldn't come anywhere close to the "triple" he mentioned. IP is largely fueled by incoming damage, which is why it's ok for warriors to be "rage starved" on easier content. Feels bad, but mechanically, it's ok.

    Huh? How does more haste get you more IP?

    How do druids decide between ironfur and mark in environments where you're receiving both types of damage? That's definitely something I miss from warrior, ignore pain being the answer for both. And shock wave, typhoon will never compare.

    Yeah, but now you're taking more damage so more IP! It doesn't matter how much it absorbs per use as long as you aren't running into these hard limits: its cooldown, rage cap, getting one shot. Of course, you don't want the ability to be spammy either, so, idk every 2 to 3 seconds max? This...

    Been thinking more about @BoozeCube point about IP scaling poorly. In a vacuum, he's likely right because it's tied directly to the player's AP and Versatility instead of a percentage of damage taken. But, since it's fueled by rage, which is largely fueled by damage taken, won't IP's poor...

    I meant it would be wasted such that if you save SB as a preemptive cooldown, you are limiting the effectiveness of HR. Explain your table math please. Without HR, you need 117% haste to get 100% SB uptime. I wish I remembered my college statistics class well enough to remember how to model...

    That's a good thing, no? Tanked headless horseman recently and my fingers just kept itching to hit IP out of habit and no fucking rage. Obviously, that means I wasn't taking much damage so I didn't need IP, especially on that fight. But in terms of developing cadence and muscle memory, it's...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ah, ok. I guess that was the intent of my original question then. IP is definitely "the" warrior active mitigation. Did they intend for SB to be one as well? Or just gear and play for 100% uptime(lame and boring)? I'd almost prefer it to be active mitigation. I hate the SB mini game...

    It wasn't the better deck then. Card rarity and deck quality do not correlate.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Every time I get that warning from DBM, I get hit, even without preemptive SB or IP, and most of the time I have to check to make sure the boss mechanic actually fired. Most of the time I'm tanking heroics with ~840 gear, which I realize is over gearing heroics, but heavy hitters from bosses...

    You can't from a balancing perspective because if that frequent 30% DR makes a big difference every other tank is screwed. Also, not playing the 100% SB uptime game wastes Heavy Repercussions. Are you going to take Ravager?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I was thinking about this some more. What's their intention with Shield Block? Its cooldown is too short to be used as a mild preemptive DR like barkskin or demo shout. But the cooldown is also too long to be up 100% of time by itself. So, does the ability add anything besides restrictions...

    Balance spec is what sealed my choice to alt druid. Did my first normal EN saturday night and there was one ranged dps. Even the fucking hunter was melee. And while we did clear it, surprisingly well for a lfr group, the proportion of melee dps in this game is too high. So, I wanted that...

    Yeah, I remember that once someone mentions it, just always forget it since I don't raid that often. It is stupid that they made some secondary stats so good as to indirectly screw some spec with horrible itemization.

    I can't speak to most of your post as I'm not playing bleeding edge content. But regarding rotation boredom, that's part of the reason I picked druid as my alt. I know prot warrior rotation doens't take a lot of attention, but guardian feels like even less. I'd rather pay attention to what's...

    What inherent gearing issues does fury have? And what's non-intuitive about the spec? I like that the priority list is pretty straight forward.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Just curious, why are you benching your warrior? I have my own problems with the prot spec, so I'm enjoying bear more now. But don't think I'll stop playing him.

    That's a reasonable trade off. Ranged does better dps on this fight, melee does better dps on that fight. Not, fuck you melee, your group fails for bringing too many.

    Been noticing a lot of "not melee friendly" this expansion. Granted, I play a melee so I notice it more. And of course there will be *some* fights that favor ranged over melee and vice versa. But seems skewed in favor of ranged so far based on my experience and the comments here. Any ranged...

    Gold artifact traits look flashy and definitely make a 1-3% difference in most cases, but let's not think they should be some progression-gating mechanism. I was curious about Kreugen's comment about total AP cost to get all the good traits for a spec. Arms: 1.75M AP, wasted nodes: at least 6...

    Finally got around to watching that video. I'm a bit surprised at specs and price, much more than I'd expect for $500 phone. I haven't heard of Xiaomi until recently, so not sure I trust the brand. I would like details on the display though. Something that large, things like PPI are...

    Nothing wrong with button mashing...if you're given the attention and time necessary to button mash correctly. Mythic dungeons and heroic raids are already on slim margins with both of those that mythic+ goes too far. I specifically don't play any class/spec who's rotation take too much...

    They're nice in theory. But when every phone, include Google's own nexus phones, still has enough chin for physical/capacitive buttons, you're essentially losing screen space for them. With the advent of physical home doubling as a fingerprint scanner, I'm much less adverse to off screen...

    Anyone have problems with msmpeng.exe and this game? Try to start a game and it just hangs, music playing a mouse pointer responsive, but it does nothing. I don't want to disable Windows defender if not necessary even if I'm not sure how useful it is.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah I get that, but I don't agree from a simulation perspective. Fury's rotation is quite easy, so is arms for a machine. Why is fury matching arms in sims then? Do the logs normalize not just for ilvl but also artifact traits and legendaries?

    Edge screen looks really nice. I'm pretty sure I have no functional use for the edges, I just like that it makes the screen look bezel-less. I'm honestly considering buying one just for that over a midrange phone that has the same soc. In a market flooded with phones, gotta do something to...
