It's a spell shield created by the talent "In the Zone".

I really hope you're joking.

can you read? it clearly says "project ascension"

Listen man Pesty made the call to fake the video, I was out of mana, there was nothing I could do. Love you, JIM! Come do keys!

@@MerigoldAscension lmao this comment is gold.

jinn, how's your soul fire doing with mana?

Pesty is the player in the Tank point-of-view videos. You can send him a message in discord (Pesty4297) if you want any of his WAs, ElvUI or got any tanking questions :)

Only up to +20 gear is available on Elune at the moment, so that's as high as you can get in the boxes or via upgrading. +25 gear comes out on the 17th and then you'll be able to upgrade your gear with coins up to the new cap.

@@nathankluska5083 Yeah. Send a message to Merigold in game on Elune or in the official ascension discord

Builds are in the in-game Hero Architect! You can check the video description for the build names. Pesty's is "BIG NATURE TANKY", though you can also find it by searching by the author's name :)

Aaaa sry my fault, i dont see its for elune. Is possible do this build in area52?​ @@MerigoldAscension

@@saintssxasta9784 Parry tanks are great on A52 as well. The build will look a bit different, specially the talents, but gameplay is mostly the same. I think Pesty has an Undaunted parry tank posted on A52's architect from last season. It might be a bit outdated though since we are mostly seasonal players.

Awesome to hear from the retail perspective! Healers can do damage on ascension, some specs can do quite a lot even. However the damage dealing healers tend to be quite rigid in their rotations and throughput. For pushing high M+ keys it's best to be fully in control of your healing throughput, specially when it comes to heavy tank healing spam, and that tends to be a weak point for the damage healers. Also Ascension lets you go wild and fully invest every single point you want into whichever role you want. So if I were to divest a few of my points from healing into damage it would cause a significant dent in my healing throughput for very little damage gain. Something like -2% healing done for +5% damage done if I were to take inefficient healing investment out and swap to efficient damage investment. That means roles tend to hyper specialize on Ascension to compound those +% gains on top of each other. The DPS do crazy damage, the tanks are absurdly tanky and the healers fill up health bars with every button. It's more efficient for the tank + healer combo to hard invest into survival which allows for larger pulls that the DPS can capitalize on than it would be to do small pulls while myself and the tank do a little bit extra damage. Some pulls or bosses would also be impossible if our builds did invest more on damage rather than survival. There can be some cross utility sometimes, but it depends on specific talents that allow good conversions from role X to role Y. Which is how the damage healers operate. They focus a lot on building up their damage and then they convert that extra damage into healing. TLDR: Healers can do damage, but it's not very efficient or stable for high M+ content.

Besides what Meri mentioned another big part of it is that unlike Retail tanks are not self sufficient at all, so unless permanently pocketed they'll just fall over after a surprisingly short amount of time. (Praying to the devs to port some iteration of VDH though because it's hella fun) + With this system of talents, unless you dump a lot of talent points into buffing one specific kit / school / specific ability, it won't do much unfortunately.

Tidal Shield crits for 5k~ on average so it's a 2.5k shield per cast, plus 30% living seed, 39% ancestral awakening and frugal disposition. What makes the build really powerful though is the Lifebloom + Photosynthesis combo. With enough hots rolling it triggers maybe once a second on average for 8~9k, and lifebloom itself ticks for 1.5~2k every second. It's a very awkward build to play and get used to, but the single target numbers are really insane compared to anything else. Spot healing is specially awkward if you don't plan GCDs ahead of time for it.

@@MerigoldAscension That all sounds freaking awesome. And I enjoy awkward builds or even a bit harder to play builds because I get bored as a healer quite easily. I'm a healer/support main in every game I play so keeping people topped off is second nature. But I'll usually be jumping a circle or helping pull extra mobs in my down time xD This build is really interesting because it seems to have a good amount of mitigation, HoTs, and burst heals. Great job on this

The gear caps out at much lower levels. Currently +15 is as high as you need to push to get the highest ilvl M+ gear, though it will go up to +40 towards the end of TBC. You do get extra gear caches and other resources per run for running high above the cap, but we mostly push just for fun really. We got those crazy overpowered builds in season 9, might as well use it for fun and challenging content.

@@jinn_val Any day now he is gonna show up as a Bear. A 25k health bear probably

Champions are passive. If you don't attack them, they will just walk right past you :)

@@MerigoldAscension just like me, thanks!

Surely they will be salted any day now

All our builds are posted in the in-game Hero Architect. You can find them by searching for our names or the build names in the video description :)

That's a vanity item (DP shop) called Tendrils of the Naaru

It's very intense sometimes, but it's a lot of fun! I highly recommend getting a premade with voice comms and pushing M+. It's a completely different experience from the world chat keys.

Ascension M+ is fairly chill. However there's lots of kicking even in the opening minutes of the video. Acolytes and Darkcasters barely get a cast off due to kicks, stuns and silence rotations from the tank and DPS. We dodge the void zones and shadow crashes on first boss, the flaming arrows on second boss and some other AoE effects from trash and Mythic champions. It's no FFXIV, but you do have to pay attention a bit.

Oohh that's good info! I guess as long as the runner isn't pulled the event won't start.

@@MerigoldAscension Yep, and he doesnt aggro by attacking him, but by approaching him.

Hey there! That's a default feature on Ascension. You can find it under Interface > Combat > Area of Effect Indicators

I'm not personally a big fan of the manastorms. We will be focusing on M+ videos for now :)

You can find our builds in the description :) They're in the in-game Hero Architect. Pesty's is called "THUNDA TANKA BIG TANKA YES YES YESY", but you can also type the character name and you'll find it too lol

@@MerigoldAscension tyyy

Zaru's back! Should get a hero architect post soon :)

Zarugan's build is up in the hero architect now! It's called "pure shadow zarugan"

Pesty is the GOAT. I think he underestimates how much effort it takes to get so good at M+ tanking

this looks pretty interesting but i multiclass on retail too much i feel like the spell icon confusion would make me insane 😅

Dude the top players aren't even at that level yet, you don't play retail and it shows, the highest key I've seem completed was a +15 and that's a genuine challange

@@cojocarucristian3525 yes they are lol. they are at 17s xD you can LITERALLY check it at any given time... you are the one whos not playing retail OR whos new to the game haha
