TWIN VAL'KYR BOSS GUIDE - TRIAL OF THE GRAND CRUSADER

[@CrixGuides]

You can snapshot the vortex buffs. Affliction Warlocks(using this videos example of the raid being dark) - Put your Demonic Gateway under the dark vortex. Then go click the opposite color(White vortext). When the fight starts, Sbolt>UA>Corr>Doom. This wil snapshot a huge Corr and doom. Then Demonic gateway back to dark vortex and boot to the raid and go about your single target rotation like on the raid Valk. Periodically keep up corruption on the other Valk by using a rank 1 Shadow Bolt. This ensures you get a very powerful and buffed up Corruption ticking on the off target Twin. Note-DO NOT MANUALLY APPLY CORRUPTION ON THE OFF TARGET, you will lose your powered up Corruption if you do. Takes some practice, but this is 100% worth

[@wislo101]

Wouldn't it be better to put your Demonic Circle down where the raid's stack point is, then click the White Vortex, and go stand near Dark Vortex? Then you can do the snapshot, and click the Dark that's right next to you already, then teleport into the raid instead of booting.

[@CrixGuides]

@@wislo101 It will depend on your stack and if you're in range, but yes your way is better if in range. :)

[@joejohnson81]

Just swapping to aff from demo, is it better to use rank 1 SB to keep corruption rolling or a tick of drain life?

[@wislo101]

@@joejohnson81 shadow bolt keeps up the shadow embrace debuff

[@CrixGuides]

@@joejohnson81 Yes, use R1 Bolt my friend

[@Maxvla]

Resto druid is also a great soaker on this fight. Can heal at nearly normal rate while mobile and has barkskin for bad vortex. Will need some assistance to survive, like a holy paladin divine shielding + hand of sacrifice, and dedicated healing for 5 seconds. Additionally, resto druid is tailor made for this type of raid damage profile.

[@andromidius]

Now I've done this fight this guide makes so much more sense! Its just one of those encounters where you need to do it to truly understand it - as simple as it is when you really get down to it. Ready to pump harder next reset! For context, I was a soaker (Hunter) and... well, I made a pig's ear of it (no wipes, just... sub-optimal). Next time I'll talk with the other soakers to have their areas to cover so we're not all running for the same orbs.

[@futbolsven]

Looks like such a fun fight!

[@Mrbones27]

Morning Jordee!! Ty for the vid.

[@kvetcherkit]

Thank you for this! I only got a chance to do 10m on PTR and it was over so fast it was hard to get a feel for stuff. This helps a lot!

[@clipsrus1112]

At @10:55 what is showing the time left before the person is healed? Its showing not only your heal but how much time before someone elses heal goes off on that person which i think is really sick.

[@laststride392]

1) How much reduced damage do you do to same color targets? 2) When swapping to a target which casts the Twins Pact shield,If that target is of the same color, will I do reduced damage to that shield? Thanks again for the great guides u put out.

[@sebadg5702]

A BIG TIP IF YOUR GUILD STRUGGLES WITH SAME COLOR SHIELD 3-5 seconds before the mech, make all your dps to change target. That way the raid will be ready in case you get the same color shield.

[@jared9643]

I think I'm going to stand in the dark portal because I like myself some chocolate

[@robertwacholz5646]

Joardee is the only disc priest that deserves Valanyr

[@JKLYDE]

What addon is showing CHANGE COLOR in the ToGC raid?

[@udoom]

great video! whats the Weakaura showing much much is left on the shield?

[@Joardee]

It's a Fojji weak aura, I'll have a video showcasing all his stuff next week

[@Lamar0616]

Hey Joardee, thanks for all your work! Q: During Light Vortex, when everyone switches to Light Essence - do you have some people stay Dark Essence to soak the Dark Spheres? What if a Dark Sphere comes into raid when everyone is Light Essenced, or you get Hit while raid trying to switch back to Dark Essence?

[@freedomjx99]

This is the exact question I want to ask

[@dillmcpickle]

Typically the "goalies" will maintain the opposite color of the raid majority

[@Croshiuz]

At 5:51 I assume you mean Lightbane tank goes dark essence and Darkbane tank goes light

[@Joardee]

Sorry yes, definitely misspoke!

[@donnierodriguez8154]

I was hoping i wasnt the only one who was confused by this 😂. Thank you for the awesome video!

[@Geezdruid]

Great vid. What’s the music in the background?

[@Yamandox]

Some say click shodowaura and resi off, some say buff it. Whats the poiint there

[@deckster688]

Hey Joardee what are you using for raid frames?

[@kurokychan2359]

Wheres the link to googlesheets?

[@DeadlierThanLag]

If shadow resistance hurts your damage when you're attuned to the dark vortex, why not do the reverse and have the raid attune to the light vortex and the soakers to the dark vortex, and that way it's not as big of an issue because most of the time you'll be charging the buff with holy damage. Or does this mean the soakers and offtank take too much damage since they'll only have holy resistance from GotW?

[@Joardee]

its fire, not holy - its just the same issue in reverse

[@DeadlierThanLag]

@@Joardee Ah okay, sorry I missed that.

[@chemah69]

Does Touch of Light do AOE damage? Trying to settle an argument.

[@LynnaeHeals]

Do the soakers ever need to bother swapping their affinities?

[@highrhino]

no, they just use cds for the vortex of the opposite colour and if 2 or 3 dps nuking the shield with reduced damage matters enough that you cant kill it, then you should probably be doing normal.

[@crohnsy]

Do do 2:15

[@Joardee]

I heard that too and was gonna add a poop emoji but got lazy

[@mantiquilla4438]

Would an Assass rogue using Feint be a good option to soak the light buff in the beginning of the fight? Would be a 50% damage decrease on the AOE dmg right? 5:37

[@Joardee]

No because you need to be able to soak the white orbs without being near the rest of the raid! Ranged dps is def preferred, and hunters especially since they need to be at ranged anyways.

[@HaydenSBrown]

Why not door strategy?

[@dominotrix]

They patched this

[@Joardee]

orbs now spawn in the doorway so its less effective than it was

[@HaydenSBrown]

Fudge, thanks

[@BillSawyerPlus]

Don't use Shadow Resist.... everyone in the video has Pally & Priest SR.....

[@Joardee]

Yep we discovered the interaction after the PTR

[@c2thewick]

im having my 4 unh dks spec into anti magic bubble to help mit dmg

[@Joardee]

not worth it

[@asher4578]

do not do this, you are gimping your raid doing this

[@fifzeppelin]

The wrath version of AMZ is worthless in raids and should never be specced into. Terrible idea.

[@zStC1]

Lmfao dude thought he was 5head, turns out he's 3head😂

[@Lithid303]

Hunters (good ones) trap weave. We are almost never at range… 😢

[@Joardee]

On this fight you will be

[@PootyBrad]

You cant trap weave because they're actually floating and dont set off traps. It maybe 3 months late but I hope the (good hunters) know this lmaooo

You said "Doo doo"
