i skipped wod as well but i think i kno2 what an irom docks is
the arcway is bis
i remember the last boss of upper kara being a bit of a yikers boss
kara will be fun
kara will have lots of magic dmg i think, so this IP buff will be nice
anything is a pug deleter in this game
idk if i have nerves to do m+ first month of s4
?
That's the best time
Only shitters are playing and nobody knows wtf is going on
its if u have premade , im going with randoms 😄
everyone is going to be shit at it, so there's no expectation on you to be good
^
same, i dont feel confident... at al..... about this season mythic +
i need a way to increase my crit
now imagine it with me going into 15s with 0pc LET'S GOOOO
im willing to try, but yeah man....
so with 35% flat haste should ijust use my soleah trinket on crit
I'm gonna playing with a few guide writers so we all do kinda know what's going on
No novelty for me
last time i died from laught was when we went tazavesh no1 looked at guides or any info. We had 132 ilvl rogue fr and we all were like 225 ilvl it was fucking hell of fun and wipes 😄
Pull shit you dont remember the spells of
i remember doing tazavesh when it hit with a hpala, a demo lock, and i was prot pala -- we didn't see a single mechanic on any boss LMAO
thats my lfd mechagnome expeirence so far, he lvl 41 or 42 now
mail boss was bugged, we didn't notice, we double ashen hero'd it dead in like 30s
bro
that group or pepega
mechangon traps idk if i can stand this ppl doing traps 5 min and then just leaving

we wiped on soleah because it was the only boss you couldn't just ashen your way through on pull 
junkyard keys are going to be pepelaugh
whole s4 is big meme
harder than work by long shot imo
tyra mechagon is cancer
more specifically tyrannical junkyard lmao
whats the magnitude of the IP change for prot warrior? is it going to significantly improve lifestyle?
i cannot wait to have "but we're still throwing them out with the trash! TRASH TRASH TRASH!" in my brain again for a year
i think taza vesh is easy , but mechagon and kara are next level
im getting lvl 50 or 60 today on dk
only ppay waerior drive me nuts
have to level other snit
i l9ve my charge, ut gpd damn do i ever need to reroll
u spam IP 24/7 it will absord more dmg than beffore , so its good buff to have
high fort keys that last curved ramp up to the last boss in workshop... ugh
lots of noob traps that kill the dps early and take those buffs away
not gonna miss pug halls keys either... pugs and their never interrupting shit
biker boss trash anyone?
i will miss the azshara dungeon idk why i rly like the wide open space and bosses
does a grenade or some shit that deltes dps
thats not that bad, just the telegraphing of that one frontal cone is terrible
considering how goddamn AWFUL tazavesh m+ was on release, i'm feeling kinda yikers for mechagon/karazhan in week 1
did u heard that we might get underground zone in DF ?
praying i get a tazavesh key to start me off
s4 is meme , i think they will rly nerf all dungeons on 1st day
halls is agreatidea but poor execution
hope so, i want to zugzug and get 4pc with 288 dungeon gear instead of being forced to catalyse my 278s atm
You would be omega fucked doing S4 keys no set
Id get it now
And go flux cage

psure weeks reset
unless they announced it
they didnt reset anything else
basically free if your group can make non overlapping circles of quaking
i've been able to do +18s with 0pc this season, so got some big copium that i'll be fine for 15s next season
what says they put any actual work into this season
i think its gunna be clown show too
In dungeons i dont know id wanna be as strong as possible going into em
its basically just +26 ilvl loot and some raids that will probably be broken on day one
fair, i need to hold flux for my mage as well, since i'm running 2 chars, so unless i found a magic flux tree, i'm kinda screwed, i can get an easy 12k next week from vault spam tho
do more keys, flux flows from every orifice
flux is super fast to farm
u do weekly with 2-3 chars and u have tons of flux
in zm
weekly with 3 chars is 1.2k flux
400
ok so 600
its like 1k per char
my flux plan is to do +2s on all my crappy max level alts
i hate torghast more than zm flux farm
~100 flux per key, just do more keys lol
says the guy with 1.2k dungeons
just takes a while, i'm all about that efficiency, might do lfr bosses to get the extra vault slots on my alts
raid gives like 1500ish per week too i guess
presumably, if i kill 2 bosses in lfr on my rat alts, that'll add another 12k to the mix
wtf u gonna do with flux
i wonder if they are going to fix the 278 conduit thing to give all covenant conduits instead of just the one you are on
kinda crap when you swap around for alt specs
288 4pc sets for my war + mage with enough to then cover max any drops from mythic, i guess the latter one is less relevant tho since i'd get flux from clearing the raid in the process
i think it's good to have 5k flux per char going into s4 for upgrading m+ gear
i actually need to craft my unity up from the 265 belt too
5400 flux only for 4 pieces
so one week of your plan is enough for 2 chars of that
well i guess depends on the pieces
5700 if you do 3 expensive ones
im going into s4 with green shield
just means an upgrade is that much easier
how big is 4pc? in order to get 4pc i'd have to upgrade a 233 ZM chestpiece (grim), my worst piece, since my helmet is crafted, or just farm a fresh piece
think i could do s4 15s with just 2pc?
ur set is
making u
tanky more dps
10% dmg red from avatar is big if ur low gear
avatar turns into a defensive cd so its really good
4pc is significant dmg and surv increase
and the rage gen from the outburst
kk, i'll farm a helmet/chest and prep 4pc for next week
because knowing me, i'll have saved up all this to get 288 for tier, and i just won't get ANY drops for ages
i had a problems doing m15 with 245 and 4pieces , but it was ok i u focus rly big on surviving
Avatar outbursts make up like 30% of all outbursts
you can use up your thousands of sandworn relics too lol
free 246 gear that you can convert starting next week they are finally acct bound
its a bit late right ?
very late
the assumption that i've done ZM 
i needed this before 2 months
I sent like 1100+ to my Hunter, from my 3 top geared 60s
literally every currency in the game should be account bound
no more of this buying a thing to transfer to another char crap
if u have valor u can send a chest that gives random mythinh dungeon loot too
i geared my alt like this
I wish my valor was account bound; I have fucking thousands of valor unused on Warrior and Shaman
my alt dk had all items from m0 dungeons including scale 236 😄
with 500 valor chests
lucky
istant m15
my bdk has done 3 entire seasons and not gotten one scale lol
im not shure how to start s4 warr or dk
dk is easy and clear , warr im not good enuf , but it will be fun i guess ?
gonna try and bait some tier pieces from the raid before i hard commit to flux spending
next week lfr drops what 262 i think?
lfr castle nathria which means you would need to convert it anyhow
Does War really have to play Devastator? I really don’t enjoy the play style but if it’s that much stronger then I can probably learn to deal with it
any of u discovered a good way to gear alts in the start ?
where do we craft unity now with it being a stat loss going into s4?
It is the best option
bro u cant manage to spam enuf , if u have devastate idk 😄
do... more... keys?
you get guildies to boost your rats, that's what i do
Could just be that I’m trash at war from not playing it enough lately lol, I’ll give it another shot
so many other buttons to spam, its really the only choice
its literaly the god tier tallent , without it warr would be trash bottom
Stupid question, but - is Prot Warrior a good class for a newbie to learn tanking? I never played a tank in m+, I want to play one in S4.
Run your own keys, put "Bonus Valor" in the description, invite people higher ilvl than you that use the same armour/weapon/trinket type as your do
where are people crafting unity with s4 tho? bracers? can't go cloak for the wall, i guess, and mechagon rings make those less appealing
Depends from ur skill in game bro
yeah thats what i did on a fresh 60 alt i was messing around on, bough 226 gear from the anima vendor and then ran my own bonus valor keys at 2 lol
The honest answer is that Protection Warrior is probably the tank with the highest (most difficult) skill floor, but if you can do it it's incredibly rewarding
Well, my skill on tanks is very low, my skill on dps is decent
warrior is hardest tank atm
Got it. Which tank has a lowest skill floor in your opinion?
bear
Bear
dk is a good middle ground
its so boring yeah
huge reward for lowish effort
It's braindead boring AF, nearly as simplistic as VDH
dk have some fun rotation , good dps and u will love the death strike healing u istantly to 100% health
DKs are very slow, I don't want to be so immobile
pally is pretty middle ground too, playing a dk properly is probably 2nd most difficult right now imo
if u want to fly go dh
i got bored from dh very fast
dk saved the season 3 for me
Got it, ty
Honestly though, if you want to tank as Warrior, Tank as Warrior. Your interest in the class will make it more rewarding than playing a class you have no actual interest in playing. Just bear (lol) in mind that Warrior is a very fast paced spec.
Paladin is pretty fun if you’re looking to run like, 15-20’s max. Huge damage potential and great group spot healing, but you’re gonna get flattened in higher keys with big pulls
only thing that sucks about dk is that healers get used to not healing the tank and get mad when they suddenly party with a tank that needs some healing
Interesting, thanks
yeah but if hes learning its sturdy in lower levels and forgiving for threat
Yeah exactly lol
paladin is not so easy
learn routes and tank practices then switch to a good tank
paladin is squishy af and u might get one shot rly easy
for new tank player i suggest DK
if ur rly bad go druid u wont die at least
The best thing about Warrior is when the healer says "I thought Prot Warrior was bad" at the end of a key
yessss
DK is probably the best pug tank if you play it right, but if you play it wrong it will be a bad time
LOL that’s true Zet
i mean most prot warriors are incredibly bad from my experience
in this state , u cant go prot warr with 0 tanking skill and general wow skill
usually venthyr or kyrian, running the wall, getting absolutely JOLTED on every pull
Most players are bad, regardless of class, spec or role. it's just that with Tanks you notice it more.
ye, and then doubly so on warrior
my biggest irk lately is healers doing no damage in like 18s
Protection Warrior is unforgiving of bad play
most of prot warrios dont even cap their IP and they cant keep their SB 100% uptime
Whereas Bear is very forgiving
like you can tell the diff between a bad dk and a good dk, but it's not quite the same as when you get a bad warrior and the healer is screaming throughout the entire dungeon
????
do you know what you're talking about bro
they are the most squishy tanks , they just got 5% block buff
thats any tank really though, when i heal i rage tf out when i see a tank die with like 3 cds up and available
it was an unneeded buff
-Speculating is fun but try to back-up claims when possible.
they are by far not the most squishy tank
have yo played demon hunter
if u play good they are not ? But we talk here for NEW PLAYER right ?
heal a dh once and get back to me
i think u missunderstand my words clearly
I mean, I have 2 Alts with heal specs at 270+, and I can usually tell if the tank is bad news within the first pull
no you said and i quote "paladin is squishy af and u might get one shot rly easy"
can you link a log of a paladin getting one shot
in a real situation
yeah in whatever key i do i always do a test pull on the first pull, like what can the tank/healer/dps handle in this one lol
the guy asked for a class to learn tanking and i told him he might get one shot if as pala if he is not paying attention
which is nonsense
lol rly ?
like, watching a nextflix episode of not paying attention?
you'll get one shot on a dk far more easy than any tank with a shield
@ionic fern control your channel please. the dums are invading
lmao
From a healer perspective, VDH is the worst to deal with, because they have an awful habit of bounding off 9 miles over the horizon. and wondering why they don't get heals. Yesterday I had one do that leapy bullshit while having 50 stacks of Necrotic
At least a DK you know for sure they can't outrun the healer
"that leapy bullshit" oh the season 1 feels hit hard
this is what happens
DH is one of the biggest skill delta tanks, probably second after warrior
We are also having discussions about if prot is stacking STM stuff now cause IP cap scales off of max hp.
If you are good at DH it's hella comf, if you're not you're sniffing the grass on the ground
??????????????????????????????????????????????? memehold indeed
by ur logic every player must be 4k rio , cus no1 does mistake and there is no bad players or new players in the game nice logic bro 🙂
What
wouldnt you just stack leech instead :leech:
u just got butther cus i said bad abt ur class ?
actually, does IP interact with leech?
he got really mad about that one trinket that shall not be named
you dont need 4k io to have sotr coverage and press a cooldown every minute or so
@ionic fern
oh no a guy said my paladin is geting one shot , cus not played properly lets spam discord chanel now
Dude who is this guy talking to
hi protection good to see you all ❤️
It's a Paladin thing. They have to defend their hnour, even if they're wrong

@strong forum 👋
lmaooooooo
@jagged pier 
#prot is on fire today 

@wooden radish I'm sry if i said something wrong , but sometimes ppl have diff opinions
@wooden radish 
The fotming is upon us
If prot becomes fotm popular in s4 I’m going to lose it
in defense i've lurked for a long ass time, i just needed to talk to the spreadsheet nerds recently lol
This is why we have to keep telling people; It just ain't that big a buff
Because we’re not going to be much stronger than we were in s3
still F tier
@strong forum 
@sick sentinel 
@mortal brook 
pwar 🙏

@mortal brook 
No sir
gratz on your buffs btw
- Bears, 4 keys behind
🖕
Enjoying WoW?! SMH
been warrior since season 1, who remembers NF fury ripping threat and being dead .6 seconds into every pull?
that was a feature, not a bug
I remember setting my NF Fury friend as focus to intervene on them constantly
They'd rip threat from me if they went balls out on the pull. But TBH that's a self-correcting issue. Death is a good way of telling DPS to chill the fuck out
i love it when the 277 fury war joins the group with my 260 no tier tank and proceeds to spear on pull every single pack, die, then rinse repeat, as if he's expecting some kind of different result, except the once every 4 mins i can aoe taunt immediately
literally me
Side note: I wish Anger Management reduced the cooldown of Challenging Shout
but i'm also convinced fury wars just lack any kind of brainpower, our raid fury wars are exactly the same with mechanics
I’ll do it right now
yeah even if you waiting, if the stars aligned you would still rip at least a couple mobs off the tank in S1, why i swapped to prot lol
im here for a good time, not a long time
Tank??
korayn crit + avatar proc on signet + nf ability = dead fury war lol
Love throwing a couple ❓❓❓ in chat
nf fury?
"1 heal?"
this is why arms warriors are BIS
die by the sword makes it easier for tank, less tanking to do
S1 talk
lmao
i bring my cotank to the key and then before last boss i get to go '?? DH? you are tank?' but im been a bear the whole time
i hope nomerator does that with his 5 tank team
im a fury warrior not a mage, intellect isnt my strong point

embrace the zug
i mean a spec based purely around being enraged... its built in to be the first to die
sophistication levels go: prot>arms>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>fury
so furious and fast?
You’re entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts 😉
The raid stats beg to differ
Arms always dead 
sophistication is not a metric that can be so easily tracked
a sophisticated corpse is still sophisticated
I play Arms; this week, Arms is fucking magical. "Oh, Spiteful Shades? How nice." pushes button that makes me immune
lmao
the 260 ilvl no tier prot warrior inviting warriors seems unsophisticated
Dying as arms, questionable
but statistically likely!
how else am i gonna leech gear for my rat tank?
for Arms, Spiteful shades are free DPS padding
you don't make m+ groups and make sure to invite high ilevel people of the same class/armor set so you can maximise your loot gains? 😛
ret paladins? LMAO
the one spec to outfury fury
truth
with its own aoe taunt
+4 LF sv hunter, destro lock, ww monk, paladins need not apply

any combination of locks and surv hunters until next week lmao
You just take destro locks now right
i enjoy joining keys on my wlock and getting the "????" when they notice i'm affli
4 destro locks 1 pwar
they still wont be bad, they will just be brought down a notch
locks and surv hunters
locks are going to be dead
nah
Poor Surv. They got One season of being the oppressive Meta spec. Now they're done for another 10 years.
their only big damage is in infernal now
they still have demo which is a shorter cd window and better st and untouched
that uses literally the same gear
and affli 
shush
with its tier set that gives nothing for aoe rip
you and the other 3 aff locks can go hang out with feral druids
ferals be pumpin tho
even if wls nerf is about 30 % they are still top dps couz they are 30-40 % above any other class in terms of dmg
i mean thats what sjele says
True and real
he knows wl quite well
But yeah sv still good warlock hurt pretty bad
which was necessary
yes but do you realise why they're good?
they can perma do damage
every single pull
they can not do that anymore
Cause details says so
destro lock is hurt, theu just need to change specs to the slightly more difficult spec
or swap to surv i guess 😛
Any idea what three dinar items we are gonna look to pick up?
btw @sick sentinel impale i have seen sjele simulating the no tier set he had 30 % uptime on infernal
OWS is gonna be my first probably unless i get super lucky on week one
ows/rdm, weapon/shield
Sjele ie sjele
well
99,9% of locks are not sjele
Inb4 dumpster tweet
thats not supposed to happen
so obviously the majority of wls is really bad
but that is true for each and every class
dont tell me most surv hunters u see are good xD
Imagine not being able to play destru 1 button rotation
i find that hard to believe
Quality doesnt have to do with balance
At max potential both classes are unfairly broken
yup
SV for sure remains in that state
Locks damage is there but the damage Profile is fucked
aegis going to be decent in season 4 at all or not really?
so offense RDM/defense aegis + OWS probably
how shit is my lil pocket protoforge?
its a bad version of rdm id say
Protoforge is only 1ppm
Aegis is gonna be insanely broken
But pwar is also gonna be so strong that you might not even play aegis
And just default to matrix +ows
oh baby
SFA any good for just doin dam?
Ya will be good for parsing

What’s SFA
hypeee
is there any downside to putting unity on wrists? wondering if there's something i've missed
Well
Think consensus is waist wrist
In s3 it would have been a terrible slot
If you can pull that off
In s4 it’s probably fine
ye i'm thinking because of s4
wrist offers the least amount of stats, and cloak is shared with the wall
So yeah wrists is fine
time for more dk ig
Wrist cloak is probably better, once you can socket your belt yourself
if you assume you are going to be max geared, you want leggos on the shittest slots (for stat allocation) since their ilevel is going to be less than the rest of your gear.
waist has pretty high stat budget compared to cloak/wrists
Basically Wrist > Cloak > Waist > Feet > Hands=Shoulders > Head/Chest/Legs
ye, 291 is gonna be hc ilevel next season, no?
Yep
You don't want to use Rings if you can possibly avoid it, because of the Mechagon rings.
smh, wristguards are 19k, thought they'd be cheaper
whats the general consensus on prot vs other tanks in S4 season start? im trying to pick between pwar bdk and dh for the fresh start -- but cant remember enough of the old dungeons to decide what would be most fun reasonable
iirc, theres a lot of melee hits in the older ones where pwar will be dank
prot good
pick what ever u enjoy the most
im fairly impartial as they are all fun lol
They really should have put in a rank up. I'm a bit pissed off they haven't, after I invested gold in skilling them up over the course of the expansion I deserve a payoff
All the old shit is trivial in terms of damage intake. Most of the killer stuff is magic so the DK is probably still better if your healer doesn't like healing
on behalf of all people not selling legendary bases, i can safely say nobody wants to spend a mill on buying new bases for all their leggos and alts
arent most bases around 10k on populated servs rn?
ahh so more or less similar where your friends who miss interrupts is what kills u 🙂
The current ones are. But selling the next rank to people with more money than sense on patch day was great money
dont recraft anything for alts in s4, WoW is a clown show
im sure youll see a spike on patch day
my unity is still the 265 belt, so not a recraft, thank fuck
if not now...
I can literally make every Legendary blank for Plate, Mail and JC, plus cloaks
What does that prot change even mean exactly? That ignore pain is 71% of damage taken instead of 55? that it's 85% now? Or that the shield is just 30% bigger?
it is clearly explained in the pin
The shield is 30% bigger, and the cap is also bigger (exactly how much bigger depends, but roughly 50%)
That sounds insignificant
It's a good change, but it is not a huge change
We will overcap IP less in full-on Rage spam mode
I’m not sure due to the wording if it’s either 71.5 or 85. 85 seems a bit too big, with enough rage we would be basically running a 85%DR… the cap is mostly quality of like or to survive massive tank buster without other defensive. Not sure about the number exactly. If anyone has the correct answer that would be great
Which means it'll do next to nothing on trivial content where your IP remains capped anyway, and something on high-end content where your IP gets eaten a lot
the damage reduction is still 55%
The change does not affect DR% at all
okay so pwar is meta tank season 4 then, is what im hearing
hate bear man 
Ohhhhh, well then nothing really changes then
It literally does
obv not bear, literally 4 keys behind this season
IP is literally 30% bigger
Dk is probably still better
it's a good buff
gratz on all the non-bear buffs tho
for content where it actually matters
We are f tier stop telling else
The cast-per-cast basis of IP is 30% larger, aswell as the maximum cap of IP is also 30% larger
but in the end prot warr m+ strength will be dictated by how well you can keep banner up in the new dungeons
Thanks for the clear answer 👍
1 thing that's still uncertain however is if AP and Vers affect cap of IP or not
I’m going full lazy mode this week and play Kyrian with Kleia for the phial immune 🫠
So the new dungeon affix gives haste or vers. Is it worth to go haste if you already get to already like 40% next patch?
Haste
It's multiplicative
so its not taxed
Wait what
It could as it was in the formula by default, so unless they ch aged it it should still be there
It's not 40 to 60 with 20 %?
So if you have 30% haste baseline, and get 40% haste from the affix, you'll end up with like 90% haste instead
Only Haste rating causes DR. The Affix will give Haste percent, which does not
%haste is a multiplier
nope
Bruh
Not a flat addition and doesn't get affected by stat DR
Pin this pls
Stat DR is only for stat ratings
This sounds even more fun to play than before
Not for %gains
TBQH it's more or less (for us) like a constantly stacking Vy buff
lol


hell yeah get them portals
yeah just have your trusty pwar cotank intervene, it lasts long enough for necro to wipe
So what's the shield block CD we get with these giga haste numbers? Anybody ideas?
Less reprisal spam maybe?
With 100% haste it's 8sec
^
you should be reprisaling for rage regardless
^
^^
You'll still use alot of reprisal, you're just less reliant on it
But you still rely on it
still should use it for rage and the tier set / AM synergy
imagine not running seismic reverberation + merciless bonegrinder as prot
:nodders:
even if u can replace reprisal there is ano good lege ?
its also dogshit to play
wall would be pretty good if you had 100% SB uptime without reprisal
but you dont
But I wanna run seismic reverb 😦
:bearnodders:
I’m Assuming Necro seismic can potentially choke you out of banner
:bearnodders:
That is an actual dps loss
Seismic necro can keep up Banner for very long, but you need to use TC on CD
And play fuckloads around seismic
It's very stressful to keep up babner
Mbg wouldn’t even “proc” with seismic right?
From what I've seen it only gives you 1 extra tick
Not 3 extra ticks
The combination of the 2 doesn't mesh well
That would be very painful to play
Having to cancel bladestorm
Having to play around seismic banner and mbg
I want df prot warr to have legion ignore pain and some decent stuff synergy for dps
signet sounds cool with that avatar cd red , but is it rly doing something ?
We need neltharion's fury back.
neltharion's fury is datamined
Is it?
I didn't see anything about nelth fury
That would be nutty if for prot it replaced bladestorm w/ ravager
i think it was speculation my bad , cus odyns fury is back ppl hope they will give prot the same
You gotta remember they aren't even back. They're just datamined abilities we might see on our talent tree
Ye
We:ve been complaining about it since alpha
But to no avail
i missed gladiator stance ppl cry abt it so much it was that good ?
I wouldn't mind something like Neltharion's Fury (and ofc it would make sense to have the Dragon themed power return in the Dragon-themed expansion), but please for the love of every God, not channelled
was good for 2 months
Dragonflight capstone 🙏🏼
Actual good signet
It was fun, but not particularly good in pve
I had no problem with it being channeled. Massive pull + critical block chance being 100%, and reflecting damage with critical block was really fun
In pvp it was dumb as hell cuz you had 4 charges and were as tanky as a tank, but dealt dps dmg
But you didn't reflect dmg with crit blocks
It wasn't straight up reflecting it, but it dealt damage back to the attacker
I outright expect that there will (broadly speaking) be a choice between a "maximum defense" Raid tanking build, and an M+ build with better damage
We won't be able to take better damage for M+ we struggle to survive lol
It's a time for them to make this separation. M+ players needs love
Let's assume that all of the tuning will change the relative power of the tanks, yeah
Blizard confr that raids will be easier compared to SL too
Yes
🤔
What's the context
eh?
Is the IP change on the PTR yet?
You guys aren't having to constantly choose between dealing damage, or kiting to survive?
Not at all
nope
i solo'd the last boss in an SD 20 for 7 mins and finished the fight last week cause the healer died then the rest of the group slowly died
👍
Kiting is for VDH
I'm pretty new to prot, but when I've tanked it's basically "I'm fine, i'm fine, magic killed me". XD
Bosses are np though. My issue is with the big trash pulls.
M+ is very faceted
Name one u struggle with
am sticking to the mecha DK today so far
Big pulls being struggles are very much an issue with every class if your dps don't do shit
Are statues too powerful 2 years into the dungeon
Like, no need to kite really, the stuff that kills me will still kill me at range. 😄
That's a coordination issue
is it that hard to get the correct dungeon after 2 years?
While it is true that in a bad group a pwar will perform bad
Yeah it is
It's not true that warrior is weak
Your DPS need to kick more
and no but the healer has just come back to the game
Ic
i'm hoping the buff will help when i pug with 3 dps who are allergic to kicks
I actually think they feel really good. Damage feels good to me too.
They have issues, sure, but they have definite strenghs and they're fun.
a bad driver will crash a bad car on bad icy roads, holy shit, what a revelation.
But I also have a fully geared DK and BM, so if you ask my raid what they'd rather me play....it won't be warrior. XD
Idk if bad driver is what nom was saying
this is also something i've realised, i jump out because i'm being shredded by wicked bolts to...... still get shredded by wicked bolts? 
Try warrior in raid with ashen juggernaut
Even a good driver will crash a good car on bad icy roads*
Very funny
Pwar suffers from bad groups alot more than bdk
its the argument i go back to often, because it makes most sense to me, you are the driver trying to keep the vehicle on the road and not flipped over and moving towards destiation, maybe stop at mcdonalds if youre really lucky
But in a good group pwar will show its strengths
Yeah. i think cooldown usage on Warrior is far more critical than on other tanks. I think thats why people say "Oh pwar is weak/sucks", because it requires having a deeper understanding of the actual GAME and environment than a lot of other tanks.
what will the new wicked bolt be? 🤔
Is that a pasta?
a lot of people will think pwar is weak/sucks because a lot of pwars are weak/suck, myself included (but 4-set soon
)
Everything is pasta once im done with it
Pwar is just incredibly punishing
And will suffer from others mistakes, aswell as your own
Alot more
Like on my blood dk and brewmaster, i just worry about my abilities. if I don't remember which mob does what, honestly, it rarely matters.
Yep, that's the point i was making. PWar don't just have to know their glass, they have to have game knowledge as well, whereas other tanks tend to be more forgiving.
100%
on my DK i hit heart strike and if i might die, i hit death strike
hahah, pretty much.
on my pwar i try and hit every button on my bar in 3 seconds
BM is super forgiving.
And Brm is the whole reason why boss encounter design is so hard to do
Cuz they just have a powerful mitigation tool active at all timws
Go and Design encounters around that without fucking up another tank in the process
not sure what you can do except write tank busters or the like as doing one thing for brms and another thing for every other tank
which would be a bit absurd
So what counters brew in encounters 
Bosses that melee so hard they 1 shot you without shuffle
Except that doesn’t work either
Magic dmg
They only stagger stagger magic dmg by 35%
"only"
Brew staggers like 60% phys if not more
Brew needs stagger to purify the dmg
If they don't purify the dmg, they take full amounts of dmg
If they can't get high stagger from magic, they can't purify alot off of it
It's just with their new tierset, they increase their HP by ungodly amounts, and have practically lay on hands every time they kegsmash
So they got alot of get out of jail free cards
yeah they hit the spot with that tier set bonus
Yeah the snooze button
I haven't played my Monk since season 1
monk is always kinda strange for me
at least dk simple enough, you just hit things
ive been playing brew on an alt, its hilariously faceroll rn with that tier set
Keg Smash the spec
IDK, when I played Monk I just pressed buttons
Monk you are playing 85% optimal just following rotation
Your offenses are separated by defenses
Shuffle is up 100% of the time
Still find it funny that brew needs to stone skin on pull in the first jailer variation
When the thing lights up Red that's when you need to hit the button that makes it not be red,
I've never successfully levelled DK. I always bounce by level 30. Fucking awful class to level
Im actually curious, cuz i rly legit keep dying in leveling dungeons on dk and idk why
lot of leveling tanks suck ass since youre missing like half your kit
Maybe healers who level around ,30 arent rlt sharp
u must learn to save
rune power for deathstrikes
in low lvl
cus u wont be able to generate fast
And i also want to kms as rune regen is so bad, it forces me not to heartstrike. Idk if its just leveling curse
DK regularly gives me heart attacks when I play my healers
Thats why i wana go warrior, cuz buttons are fun and spells popup all the time. Doesnt feel so on dk idk
dk is rly close to warrior
its my opinion i mean u have to keep rune dancing weapon like banner and stuff
u have to calculate ur runes and etc its still fun
Calculating runes???? ✝️
Yeah, but i shouldn't compare rune regen on leveling to endgame rite? Cuz its slow as fuck.
"Slow" is the keyword when dealing with DK
SUp fellas. Do you think it is worth it to buy cloak for unity ? As ilvl goes up and leg don't change, maybe leg slot will change
For sure
leggos probably go on rings and ammy kinda stuff
Rings are for mechagon
Neck is kara neck
well amulets and rings give so much secondary stats
leges will go gloves,back,bracers
So cloak/wrist are the best options for unity
Unless they decide to axe kara neck
Then neck will be the best option
Unless you can procure a 298+ with socket
Then it'll maybe change to cloak/wrist again
hrm, is there a race list for prot war? i'm probs gonna race change mine soon, curious to see what's the best on alliance
i'd imagine still nelf for m+ due to shadowmeld, right?
Alrright thank you guys much appreciated
races dont matter that much
dwarf is alpha now
a lot play dwarf yeah
but dwarf does have the op m+ racial
Dwarf alleviates alot of prot war weakness
Dorf, and if they nerf Dorf, it's still Dorf
2% crit dmg , 10% dmg red and cleanse is not bad 🙂
Cuz it's the best aesthetic
then every other race is preference
play whatever looks coolest 
huh
Aesthetics > rest obv

dks used to foe the movement
What about DID
was thinking nelf/velf, but dwarf is definitely a factor if it gives me more tankiness 🤔 are there any dmg sims?
yea you can sim race
FYI the dr is like 6 hps
Over the course of a dung
The crit damage is like 47 dps
yeah , but dwarf is cool too
I swapped to dwarf and instantly missed having a 40 yd pull 
thats why I play DID
if i was not lazy to level up i would play dwarf too
takes like less than a day to hit 50 with the buff
human was s3 meta for me, can racial when i inevitably stand in uhr swirly 
Female yes, male no
you don't like triangle elves???
Nelf quickness used to be so good.
rolls shoulder in disgust
maybe velf since i transmog a lot 🤔
When quickness used to be just 2% chance you didn't take damage that was amazing.
I guess Dodge is kinda that v
the hit was for spells t oo
in wotlk u can feel it
u caped and u miss ur blind ? 😄
yeah being able to dice roll a wicked bolt seems crazy
yes it's the main things I miss + bag space
I had to change how I did like 4 routes because of it
now i need to look at all the racials again 🤔
I've started to trust my friends to pull for me when I ask... it's been working out
but it pug routes I trust Noone haha
what do you 40 yard pull with? which race is that? LFD?
It's also a semi-decent self heal
🤔 if i go velf i could use spatial rift for better reprisal use
panda warrior or bust
Kul tiran warrior for the aesthetic
Ztroll gigachad
ive been thinking about switching just for a changeup but idk
blocksomdi the ztroll warrior lol
My man
Being one of the first warriors to finish T3 drove people crazy back in Vanilla because I did it as a gnome. That was fun
ztroll's aren't without their weaknesses, they have those stupid male nelf hips, but boy it's fun to be taller than literally everyone else
i want to be nightborne, even though it gives zero benefit, but alas, my guild is alliance
Now that you mention it, I always found something weird with the models lower half
was thinking about going undead just because you dont see many anymore
undead are always pretty cool
100% jawless undead
it's awful, it's like someone just pinched their hips like clay, pretty sure my goblin shaman has stronger hips
and the toes....
yeah mogs that dont incorporate boots weird me out
Unless you are into that 
yea, and boots, imo, look best when they aren't just metal uggs
Slobber 
ermehgerd
haha yea i love the face with the tongue just hanging down
Imagine doing routes
Instead of accidentally ninja pulling 3 patrols?
And time the key anyway?

Naowh calling fir BDk/PWar meta, this mean it's time to fully break out my warrior over my brewmaster :D
let the season 4 slobbering commence
you should play the tank you enjoy the most
I should clarify. I play and Maintain all 6 tanking specs, have for years
okay?
I should clarify, still play what u enjoy most
then i am confused about the question
ok but Naowh said pwarr is meta so i must pwar
should we see what dratnos thinks?
damn resident sleeper it is then
thats what i heard anyway, i havent looked, i havent bothered after the S3 stuff
no point giving him clicks
ill go ask him if codex is good for pwar
dratnos is a tank main tho
do they really?
Since neither doorki nor anyone else on their podcast actually plays pwar
Yes when it comes to pwar they look at subcreation
Cuz they have no idea about it
damn lol thats even worse then
Well atleast they preface it that they don't actually know
they dont even talk with pika or on of the other US warriors
It's a golden guardian kinda thing
yer but ppl dont seem to read that and take it at face value
👍
i hit 60 very recently and just got the stuff needed to make Reprisal
should I put it on feet so that I can possibly use the Legs for the tier set?
feet
Feet
we have an idea yet of what weapons or trinks we are going to be looking at getting with our tokens in S4? i know a BiS list is still likely being looked into and worked on for finalization just wondering if we as a community had an idea
Shield - lod
awesome ty
honestly for shield, just pick any
its just minor secondaries
Sylv shield is crit vers
skolex also has haste
shield gives like piss low secondaries anyways
do we know if vig guardian block value got buffed by 20%
u cant bbuy it at 311 anyway
or is it the only poopy on use
only the on use
cronge
u can only buy stuff at normal
Ya but you can upgrade it to 311 with only 20 mythic kills
i didnt think Shields were going to be on the tokens, if thats the case thats huge
So if you buy a shield and actually do get mythic kills, make it a 311 one
is subcreation bad?
do you guys remember why pwar was so strong in the first weeks of emerald nightmare? im trying to remember... it was IP?
it's just based off numbers
Sub creation tells you bad stuff
subcreation tells you whats the most often
not whats the best
its more accurate for dps
It's not that subcreation is bad perse, it's that it doesn't tell you the full story. And the story is, that alot of pwars run whatever looks good. And alot of people still think that codex is useful
dragon scales from artifact wep and the fact that insirping presence stacked
So it'll show a high % of players using codex despite it being literally trash
Ows is 100%first dinar
well hopefully aegis should be easy to get
so u shouldnt need to buy it
Pwar re-rollers
its only 2 weeks between your first and last dinar so not too bad
right again u dont need to get it on mythic
u can get it on any difficulty
then just upgrade it
i wasnt looking at Aegis just cause of how early the boss is and should see it, was thinking OWS, then 1h, then? if shield is on there probably go that over a 1H
yeah i dont see a reason to buy any shield
what else would you buy
Shields are on there
unless you really dont have a max ilvl capable shield after week 6-7
because its the single most useless item in terms of suvivability
since heroic lords easy to down
You'll buy ows, shield/matrix, aegis in that order
heroic sylv less so
the block from a 311 shield is gunna be huge
skolex is less ilvl though
