Help on Tanking Trinket

Recommended Posts

I have now, 4 trinkets that I am conflicted on using as they all seem to have decent stats and usages/passives. I am mainly tanking mythic dungeons, although our guild does normal EN but I have no problem there.

 

What do you think would be the best 2 to use in general?

 

I have the following:

Goblet of Nightmarish Ichor

 

What do y'all think?

if you can post your armory so you can look at your stats we can help you more, at the moment i'm saying orb and talisman from the combo of shields and absorbs, but we need your stats to get a better justification. The goblet is kind of last place, its a very meager versatility proc so probably won't recommend that one. Actually even without armory i'm going to say orb and talisman, from the strong secondary stat gains to the shield/absorb procs.

Yeah without the armory its tough.

 

But generally speaking, ive been running multiple trinket combos depending on what im doing.  For example, if you are pushing tough content, I'd go orb and talisman, for the survivability and defensive use cooldowns.

If you are On a heroic daily speed run, or WQing, id throw on the Orb and the goblet.

Orb of Torment is not a good choice for blood dk. You obviously already have a lot of self healing. What you want to do, is to reduce the damage spikes as much as possible. Between these 4... I would say Shard and Talisman (trinket from the eye is not even worth mentioning), although i would bonus roll like a madman for Phantasmal Echo from dragons on EN and switch Shard for it asap. Echo is your BiS. Not only does it have your by far most important stat which is haste, it also has an insane passive effect. The versatility on the Talisman doesn't look very good, but the effect on the other hand is great (especially for DKs since we don't have good dmg reduction cds) so it should be fine to keep it.

I don't see why the Orb is a "bad blood dk trinket".  Everywhere you go, Haste is the #1 stat.  Plus its easy to macro the orb heal to vampiric blood, increasing that affect.

Plus, he has only 15% haste as is, not using it would be a disaster!

I also dont see how a strength trinket would help smooth out damage more than more HS's and DSs courtesy of haste.

First of all, we have to take into consideration the fact that he is going to do mostly mythic dungs, where is as much dangerous trash packs as bosses (if not more).

It sure is true that haste is taken over any other stat, but there is more to trinkets than stats only. After using VB, together with few DSs and the work of a healer, you are hardly in any danger and if you are, 50% leech on one specific target won't help much (most probably it will simply overheal you).

15% haste is a fair point though, since it is nowhere NEAR the ideal and because of this single fact, the orb may be worth to consider.

Strength does not smooth damage, but increasing tanks dps is also a way to go for mythic dungs so its not pointless. The effect on the other hand is pretty good for both trash packs AND bosses (since it last as long as 30 sec). I also said it's not ideal and he should switch it with something better as soon as possible. It's just that i think it should work better for mythics than the orb, from my personal experience.

P.S.

Forgeting about trinkets for a sec, you should focus on stats on the rest of your gear  more than its ilvl. Sadly (or not), 5-10 ilvl difference between two items means close to nothing these days, if the seemingly weaker piece of gear has stats that suit you better (which in case of blood dk would be something along the lines of haste>mastery>=crit>versa)

Ok you agree he takes Orb and ill agree he takes the Shard. Deal. 2 min cooldown is very nice.

Id also suggest him throwing 10% of that mastery into haste as well.  2% mastery is 2 more DS's per minute.

Thank you for the input, yes I have slowly come to realize that all of this higher level gear doesn't have as much haste as I'd like.

You may honestly just want to que up some randoms and experiment with what feels right to you. Of course we can theorize mathematically what would be best, however, everyone plays a bit different and the general feel and individual performance can really alter what is best for you. So, I think you have great feedback so far, from here you just need to play around and see what feels right :D

      Hello there!
      It is my vision on build Yrel for quick matches and non-high (diamond/ml/gml) league.
      Wanna show it, because I disagree with guide, what is presented here. Guide https://www.icy-veins.com/heroes/yrel-build-guide maybe good, but it designed not for casual players.
      Following this guide, you'll pretty good brusher-tank (Yrel have 2679 HP right now on level 1, only 8 characters in game have more HP), with super-mobility and good damage after 16 lvl. Our specialisation - defend objectives on map. Noone in this game now can't do it better, then Yrel.
      My prefer talent build is: 2, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 4.
      Another form: Dauntless, Gift of the Naaru, Divine Steed, Sacred Ground, Aldor Peacekeeper, Holy Wrath, Seraphim.
      Also, if you have a good tank, and all what you team need is damage, or if we on bad map to us (see below) : 1, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1/4.
      Another form: Light of Karabor, Hand of Freedom, Holy Avenger, Ardent Defender, Repentance, Holy Wrath, Word of Glory/Seraphim.
      Our playstyle: do a simple brusher work, before get level 4, or start ivent on map. After level 4, try be near our teammates, for get maximum profit from Gift of the Naaru, but without fanatism ?. After level 7, you can soak exp from 2 lines with Divine Steed, try get more exp to team (again, without fanatism, on largest maps like warhead juction it will be dumb). When your team get ultimates, start playing more aggresively.
      Mid game: defend targets, defend teams, kill everything what moving (and what doesn't moving - move it and kill! ?) with help some assassin in your team. Help to push and get camps. After level 16, when you pick Holy Wrath, you may get camp solo, and it will be fast (before 16 lvl, you also can do it, but it will too long - waste of time and mana).
      Late game: PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH! You have all things to win. Just win teamfight (be prepared), get camps and go to core. Not in our plans play in deep late (but we can!), then just finish game.
      More about talents:
      In first tier (1 lvl), Dauntless give 50% kinetic armor for 2.5 sec - is too many to be skiped, any autoattack assassin will be hate you, but if opponents haven't autoattack assassin, pick Light of Karabor for synergy with 13'th level talent (Aldor Peacekeeper) and still have good sustain.  Maraad's Insight deal smallest profit in late game, and most games will be long, because we're in game ?. 
      Second tier (4 lvl), Gift of the Naaru give to you free (!) healing to teammate on 7 sec cooldown (!!!), what can help to survive low-hp teammate, and he can escape, but if you trust in your healer, you can pick Hand of Freedom. Aegis of Light just doesn't work - we initiate fights, or follow opponent, or run away. No useful case to team.
      Third tier (7 lvl) - all talents can be used, but I prefer Divine Steed, because it is + mobility (fast soak exp on 2 lines, complete it and go to objective on map, for example), +1 option to escape, +1 option to following low-hp opponent to kill him (especially after 16lvl). If you not like it, or wanna deal more damage, you can pick Holy Avenger for combo like a D+E+Full-E. Righteous Momentum, truthly, can be picked only in full-party, when your team need more ground control. I don't see any other cases for it, but talent still can be picked.
      Ultimate (10 lvl) - always Sacred Ground, exeptly maps, where you absolutely doesn't need defend objective, or if you already have good tank with zoning option. 45 sec cd is so small, what sometimes it can be ready when your Sacred Ground still active. ?
      Ardent Defender we can pick, when we have a good tank, who know what he need to do. Usually, you get it before level 10. It's best save ability in game, also 120 sec cd is not so long, but we do less profit to team then what we can do with Sacred Ground.
      Fifth tier (13 lvl) - all talents are teoritly playable, but I prefer Aldor Peacekeeper, because it's good combo: instant Divine Purpose + Vindication, you got heal and kinetic shield, heal teammate, and you can tank 'cuz -25% damage for all sources near you, and under Sacred Ground you will be unbreakable, especially if you chosen Light of Karabor in tier 1. Repentance you can pick when Holy Avenger already picked in third tier - more control is more control. ? Also wanna clarify, what Velen's Chosen minorly upgrade damage, and have less profit then Aldor Peacekeeper and Repentance.
      Sixth tier (16 lvl) - always Holy Wrath, because it greatly increase our damage. From this moment, you will be a great threat to opponents, and they'll try to kill you, switching damage in you first, but they can't kill you ? (R+D+Q). Templar's Verdict, theoretically, can be use in well-played team to increase team damage and target kills, but for ultimate benefit of this talent, I repeat, we need at least 2 teammate with good fast switch in priority target for fast kill.
      Seventh tier (20 lvl) - depends of talent in fourth tier (Ultimate). If Ardent Defender picked - upgrade it (Word of Glory), exept if you have good aoe healer (like a morales/alextraza/brightwing/etc.). If Sacred Ground - pick Seraphim. Active ability,  every 10 seconds (!) deal 2 sec unstoppable - it's always full charged basic ability, what cannot be interrupted for blinding/stun/sleep/etc., also it's another option to escape.
      Upgrading Sacred Ground with Hallowed Ground - useless, because if you used it - stay here to death, but give time to escape to your teammates, in other cases you win teamfight ever, becuase on level 20 and higher, most teamfights end with death 3-5 ppl in team.
      Bubble Hearth - garbadge, if you wanna win. Ultimate escape, but if you find yourself in a situation, where you want to press this ability, your team will lose teamfight, and then - that game. 
      Leaving your team in the minority is not the way of true light protectors!
      Our stronger maps: Braxis Holdout, Cursed Hollow, Infernal Shrines, Sky Temple, Warhead Junction, Volskaya Foundry.
      Our weaker maps: Tomb of the Spider Queen, Battlefield of Eternity, Blackheart's Bay (?).
      Our nightmare: Johanna, Garrosh, Malthael, Rexxar.
      Tips: 
      Avoid downtime Divine Purpose! If you're not in fight, heal yourself instantly with Divine Purpose + Vindication, it cost no mana, and also you help to your healer (especially with Gift of the Naaru). If you pick Holy Avenger, start full-prepared Avenging Wrath without Divine Purpose, for combining it after first use. You start fight, and keep your damage strong full time in duel. It is good idea to use full-prepared Avenging Wrath in backline opponent team to help your assassins kill prefer target with Divine Purpose + Righteous Hammer, or separate and destract them healer. When you use Avenging Wrath just deal damage, don't wait full charge - it spell have a fixed damage, and charging in this situation is waste of time and damage from autoattack. Will be glad to any responce!
      Thanks for reading!
      See you in Nexus!

      Hello! 
      I'm pretty good with weak auras and even some lua code but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to make this weak aura.
      heres the basic function i want:
      Prototype Personal Decimator - only fires a missile when you are at least 10 yards away.
      I want the icon to show when I am <10 yards ( too close) to my target to remind me to back up. Once i am >=10 yards, i want the icon to hide.
      it sounds simple but i cant figure it out
      can anyone help me figure this out please ? :)

      Hi all.
      I recently went Guardian from Resto. Theoretically I know my rotation, cd, etc. I'm running Antorus HC, i got the curve and i think to hold with not many problems every boss but seeing my logs my performance is always low.

      I don't know where I make my mistakes but I think to have these issues:
      My damage taken is always minor than other tanks; My damage dealt... same (I build my bear full defense but my dps seems to be too low); Sometimes i have threat problem (especially with paladins or warrior); I should selfheal more but i don't see the need when I am full: i prefer to stack ironfur. What can i do to improve?

      If you wanna see my armor, look here.
      I don't aim to shine, but, at least, be on a average rank :p
       
      Thank you all

      Hi,
      I have a question: For the ascendance / gambler build the haste stat is on top of the priority list. Our trinket priority list shows that a static mastery stat increase via a trinket is higher on the priority than a static haste increase.
      How come? 
      Regards, Enqua
