- Shield slam on cooldown (unless ravager or demo shout are up)
- TC if you feel like you need the rage
- Spam revenge until you get a shield slam proc
- Spam ignore pain to dump rage
That's the whole rotation
until execute when it takes over for revenge
Bro y’all are dope thanks
Oh and 5) Have 90 cpm
enjoy
post logs here when you have them we will gladly analyse them to help you improve
Bless up will do!
oh and get the outburst weakaura in the pins
TC is probably a press if you can't use Revenge, IP, and don't have anything else to press.
Nah I mean we can't hate on TC that much
It does something
if i'm at like 32 rage i'll probably TC
Yeah, just worried "feel like you need the rage" is too nebulous for someone that doesn't already know the class that well.
well yeah but it was only a 5 point list
and one of those points was a joke
it's just something to start out
you can't really "tell someone" how to play pwarr rn like tbh
it doesn't matter what you press
just press something and press it very fucking fast
and make sure it's shield slam if you can
yes sirrr
first place CPM gets a car, second place steak knives
is Unity gonna be bis on ring next season since it has no Str on the slot and it goes to 291 only? or has that not been sim'd/sorted out yet
Oooo, that's a good question, huh?
I’m gonna put money on absolutely
Are they not getting nerfed?
People are saying waists
yeah i was thnking for M+ it's Boots/Ring, since pants for Reprisal would be bad cause of the bigger stats u can get. Then i thought ring for unity.
Whatever has the lowest stat weight that isn't a ring is probably your answer.
wasn't there a decent rework to mecha rings? i guess we gotta see on tuesday
Any of the WOD trinkies worth doing? Do we have any word on that?
Any word on str rings from wod being > then mechagon rings
str rings from wod are absolutely dogpiss 
:v)
Because it’s low budget
The secondaries are really low
Idk what you want us to say
tooltips may not be accurate but you get the picture
Hmm... you'd think the extra STR would be massive.
Not if you are losing more than double that in secondaries
A regular ring has 320 secondaries
A word ring is 130
So you are missing 190 secondaries
you're also missing out on 109.4 haste from mechagon set
How are the mecha rings parsing
Good
the best
You got one on that?
haste > nature damage
Or do we not have sims set up for it? I'd wager we do since you could just scrape the BFA ones and bump the numbers.
The sim is literally here
but this is the best profile i could do with limited effort on a 5 minute sim
yep
How are we proccing the ring?
Does that seriously work? 
Here's hoping.
otherwise just use the 3 abilities one
cos off gcd abilities like IP and SB works(worked)
God... targeting Mecha rings is gonna be a massive PitA 
Trading one hell for another. Dinars only soften the blow.
So if you just go hit up a bunch of 2s
Dinars can’t give dung loot
So yeah
Any crazy trinkets in Mechagon at least?
Or no
doubt it
bike was only good in pvp
and i can't remember the other one
so prob not good
if, and that is a massive IF punchcards drop (and how m0/hardmodes works with these dungeons) i can see recal being played again
🙏
That'd be bananas
That’s still better than codex
What a cutie.
true
so we buy ows, defense matrix and sylv shield from vendor?
in that order aswell right, get ows asap
yeah, prolly just a matter of if u need haste - what's a good % for hste to have as prot?
as high as possible without exceeding 40% (tax bad) and ilvl
no magic numbers to aim for
weppin
what else would you buy? weapon?
I think the only reason to buy it, is if you have 20 mythic tokens
And a dinar left
So you can immediately bring it to 311
I would buy ows rdm
Then aegis if it hasn’t dropped by then
But I have mastered pugging first 3 mythic
The nine stands no chance
nine was always fine but dragging a pug past the eye was fkn annoying
Yea
Eye is too powerful
And main problem next tier is that first vault is first 2
So people may not wanna do nine
Hopefully it's just a steamroll. H especially is apparently balanced to be pretty ezpz
At least for s4
should be a pretty chill "tier"
for competent players maybe, but have you met the average wow player 
not an issue if you don't pug tbh
I was watching pugs just flop and flounder on lots of H bosses in SFO when I was just killing time.
Even then, my M Daus kill I was top damage on adds as a tank
And I was legit malding
i mean i've seen groups get determination stacks on lfr anduin and jailer
and there are literally 0 mechanics on either boss
I wonder how hard mythic is for ppl that progressed/killed everything in SL
Wdym?
with the additional affix
Oh, probably trivial.
They balanced S4 to make it so it's not like you're reprogging.
if its gotta be like a 10pull thing or more
Yeah, no doubts that CE guilds are gonna just breeze.
How do people get high lvls of old warriors soul tho
S4 it will be fated right?
Yeah. Week 3 you can just buy one
My guild dont raid LuL
Oh cool
Will they put overpowering crystal for purchase too,
Afaik it's only raid loot from.vendors
Oh shame
Still thanks
stupid ass question but 2pc says it makes SL and thunderclap 200% more effective, does that mean 200% increased dmg?
yes
Opc?
and more slow
gotcha ty
you should prioritize spending outburst on Shield Slam over TC when possible
just revenge for aggro
and yes the rage gen is why
generating and spending rage is more important
feeds banner, outrage, AM, etc
ahh
gotcha
people do TC eraly for aggro
nothing wrong with that
you just try not to if you can help it
Dragon flight?
Was it the more aggro thing
Was actually looking forward to the dragon roar/shout with the new blood and thunder coat shout
Big damage on 45 secs each means more aggro
yeah we'll have to see how the tree works
rage from bleeds + bleed spreading sounds neat in theory
Sounds old
Cata is back to haunt us
cata is literally my only gap in real wow playing, i healed heroic dungeons and that's it
so no idea how it worked in practice
Heres hoping they make a talent tree all into shield bash and it somehow cleaving
Become the uber tristram paladin i wish to be
Adds rotational bloat and a maintenance debuff, no real mechanical interaction otherwise
i would hope that in the modern version TC would keep it up indefinitely
Imagine the current rotation but you have to rend at the start of every pull
i wouldnt mind the ww torghast talent every ss
and TC keeps it up forever
having to rend once a pull is a small price to pay for a lot of extra rage
plus its free damage
If you played BDK prior to Legion, you know about how fun maintaining and spreading diseases was
one rend turns into 5 or more
if heart strike spread diseases
then who cares
if tc spreads rend
who cares
you are going to tc on cd now that we dont have tier
Bear in mind it's not free rage, it's rage that was redistributed from other parts of the kit
What are our BiS trinkets in season 4?
I do think that with talent trees
rdm ows aegis
Cocaine and waffles 
i mean its kind of free rage
You can have a different choice in how you wish to make your rage generation
You know rpg elements and all
we didnt get rage from bleeds and we could potentially now get rage from bleeds
i'm gonna be a chad and wear buffed jailer scars no matter how much healers complain
tossing out 1 global at the beginning of a fight and never using it again
is not a big deal
Sorry what is rdm?
yeah i don't really care about rage tuning, they can get that right or wrong
Oh ok
charge rend clap
Not so Leah?
now 5 dudes got rend and every tc after spreads it more easy clap baby
Prot warrior going to be out of bottom tier next week ?
Lol
we dont know anything yet just datamine
Rend*
rend lasts for like 17 seconds right now
but yes we dont know if the new guys get a fresh rend
or a current duration rend
Current rend duration is pretty sadge
they could also tune rend to be shorter duration
free rage is free rage
if rend gets shorter the DPET better stays the same
because DPET of rend right now is honestly not that good
its literally just 2 slams
the entire duration is worth 2 slams?
lemme check
Dpet is damage per tick?
damage per execution time
OH ok
you dont rend for dam though you do it for crit dam bonus no?
well they are removing the crit bonus
yeah but right now arms rends for the bonus
the bonus isnt that much damage either
3 slams for half the cost is not horrible
its the same cost
both are 20 rage
but the bonus is approximately, 2-3% damage?
but the combination of both makes it good
each slam is 20 rage?
60 rage for 3 slams or 20 rage for 3 slams over 15 seconds
which is a 5% dps up at 100% crit
the default profile has 25% crit
so its about a 1.25% dps up
the rend crit bonus
its honestly not that relevant
no i mean 3 slams is 60 rage and one rend is 30 rage or
1 rend is also 20
so realistically you rend and get 3 slams worth of dam and then can do 2 more slams so its better to rend 1 slam 2
isn't rend 30 rage ?
ah shit maths all funky
So on a Damage per rage basis it’s like 2 slams
Either way though it may not be rage positive at low target counts
But it still does dam
So who knows
On prot you have to compare it with revenge
And id imagine revenge is weaker than slam
If tc is refreshing rends then we are honestly fine
i hope warrior warlock goes last
alphabetical order ofc

to be fair, 3 out of 3 tank trees look pretty solid so far. so i have hope ours will too
i liked lvling dk alot more than lvling monk so far
reprisal first capstone at the top of the tree
"weve found this ability a core part of why players LOVE prot warrior throughout shadowlands"
pestilence
i took all my gear off to check the cd on SB. 16 seconds unbuffed. wild
fuck that reduce it to 12 unbuffed
something like reprisal , where if you heroic leap or charge at enemy above 90% yougetdmg bufv, mostly vs that target
why stop at 12 then, go for 8 
i like the way you think. SB has no cd and is off the gcd. ip goes away
make us pallies
SS = SB ez mode
lol ok no dont destroy the class
but making SB uptime easier to maintain would be nice
how about sr you can reflect away bolts on otherplauers if thebolt hit box would travel through you to hit that player
but I get that the whole managing SB uptime is a core part of the class
only vdh and pwar has to manage defensives
tho in DF they are trying to give prot pal less uptime too
can the creation impetus upgrade an item from season 3 or does it only work on season 4 items?
will only work on s4 items i reckon
yeah i guess
I saw a comment somewhere but didn’t find the evidence myself so I’m guessing it’s bs “spell reflect reflects the spell but then continues to stay up for the remainder of the duration keeping its DR%”. I don’t see blue posts so I’m guessing that’s fake
It’s not true just now but data mining suggests it might come back as a talent
A talent to reflect all spells like in legion? Or just to reflect one instance and stay up for the magic dmg dr
a talent that gave shield wall spell reflect for its duration I think would be fun
I cant speak to how balanced it would be, but I certainly would enjoy it
Shield block to block 50% of magic dmg might be good. I rly wish to see some crit block function, cus is what makes warr block diff. Paladins have magic block, we must have something like that too
I want to make SW reflect magic dmg then take a build to have as much SW as possible and it be dumb
it's in the pins, its capped at 30 % of your max hp now
pins say it's a 30% buff to the cap, but not how cap is determined
the cap is 30 % of your max hp
What’s gonna be the go to trinkets for season 4 mythic plus focused?
RDM Aegis OWS
Aegis is the one from the nine right?
yes
sup is vulpera that good ?
how much healing is it in overall? 5%?
dungeons on forti
its good but if you dont want to be one its nothing crucial
big big
where do you buy conduits from flux

rn you gotta do the ksh or mythic sotfo
Or get glad in pvp and the guy that sells that is near the innkeeper in ZM
Vulpera is actually the best prot warrior race because of the 40yd bag of tricks. It gives warrior a 40yd pull. Nose for trouble is also the best defensive racial after dwarf racials. Dwarf is probably best for many, but for me, Vulpera is my favorite.
whichever one looks cooler 
Night elf
But every time I run SD I’M sad I’m an orc
What do debuffs look like for the new dungeons anyway
why would you be sad to be an orc, best mog fits and stun reduction. we hardy af
I think its from the rep vendors as it is now, but could be wrong
did not see it there
with s4 tho starting
right now its 3k io
"The Vessel of Profound Possibilities, an item available from your covenant vendors in Season 3 that upgraded all of your conduits to ilvl 278, is changing. It no longer requires S3 Endgame achievements (duelist, 3k+ m+ rating, or mythic sepulcher clear) but is instead purchasable by all characters for Cosmic Flux."
10k flux
it's a lot yeah, but if you grinded exalted on one char for the rune or w/e you will have excess to send over
Idk im rn at 8k flux on my main

50k split between my dk and dh, maintained 2 chars this tier
I think in s4 the raid bosses drop 2k flux
oh true, they wrote smth about it
What's the deal with tier moving into s4? Assuming you've not got a capped piece for instance. Would it be better to just get a higher ilvl piece and recraft it, or is there going to be a way to upgrade it from S3 to s4?
you need to catalyst a season 4 item i assume
exactly
or kill sepulcher bosses that drop tier
Ya season 3 items can only go up to 285 max, so you’ll prob want to find season 4 items to catalyze into tier
285 will still be strong for a while though I bet
brew feels like pain to lvl
Best to just dungeon level
going from lvlnig bdk into brew is night and day
Oh really
Makes sense they’re def less self reliant than blood
Do you do quests or what
LFD for healers/tanks and paid boost probably for dps only/main lvl 1 alts
Yeah as tank spamming dungeons I think just makes most sense. Especially with exp bonus
Do you like brew or blood dk more
what i enjoy about bdk and ppal over monk and pwar so far is range interupt, and just in general everything dmg has better range or somethin
Ya
just watching some random yt video about s4 and see Deswind getting CE in the background 



is seismic any good for pantheon mythic?
youd only get value from it in last phase
dont think you can make up the loss of reprisal in only 1 phase
leg sweep is very nice CD
Hey for season 4 trinkets .. are we looking at OWS and an M+ trinket ?
no soleah is not comparable
it needs to be 20 higher ilvl than OWS to be better in some situations
Ya I found the updated list on wowhead for prot warrior .. I thought it wouldn’t be yet
i really hope we get another 50% xp event some time
They should leave it in until DF
if they did that i wiould play until i had a a 60 of everything on alliance and horde
got 5 60s, like, 5 50's on horde 2 are below that, so thats about a day each from 45 or 50 to 60
Seems like a good change
could cheese some of it and server transfer my alliance 35's, ironically, off of dreanor, home in orcish i believe
Only way you're making the difference is if you absolutely speedrun P1 and P2.
OR you speedrun P2 and they let you solo cleave the add in P1
And possibly if your raid lets you just juice your meter by holding their nut for a hot minute before just vaporizing the bosses.
Parse cheese is a lot of skill, but when you start pushing the upper bounds it's a lot of guilds just compliant in helping their members top charts.
Overall, SR is dogpiss for raid
Just coming back for S4 boys, how are we looking for the last season of SL?
Fine.
strong, promising and fun
Fire, that's what I like to hear.
We're doing the most ST in SFO at the moment. M+ we're a little rocky on, but hopefully our scaling power with gear will really kick into overdrive.
Our primary issue at the moment is snap aggro and staying power in massive pulls relative to other tanks like Bear and BDK, and obviously our lack of practical dungeon utility to make cleaving faster and easier.
we looking good and strong depending on who you ask
You can still do those pulls, just takes a lot of focus and concerted play from your team, assuming you're in the mid-to-high 20's frequently it's probably not going to be a major issue if you run with a crowd.
i dont know about other tanks but our aoe has soft caps of 5 which feels kinda bad i suppose
That's sort of all tanks, the difference is that other tanks have more AOE threat because they tend to have stronger/more dots.
We dont do dps like Blood dk , but warriors are rly good now. if u do m25 all tanks do ok btw
I've always said they need to give us a good AoE Bleed
We have deep wounds.
Bdk is hardcapped to 5targets, but with drw and blood boil there's more leeway
Bear is softcapped to 20
Vdh has spb softcapped to 8
does DRW increase the cap of hs cleave per weapon?
SPB is just every global 
sotr is uncapped, so is cons
In general, having a hunter is really good because they can just wildfire and misdirect all their threat onto you
Or rogues
Threat reallocation helps solve tons of our issues, the rest just lies in hanging in there.
nope, just a small range
Trex arm cleave
Anyone know the addon that flashes a CD when it comes off cd? or is it a WA?
Doom_CooldownPulse
tysm
one that i use to let people know when i've started or ended a CD is RSA for Raelis Spell Announcer
and so, you can put on it, only when the spell goes out, or fades, and have a custom message/whisper
I dunno if you need a whole addon for that tbh
You can just do a WA that does the same.
this is for all classes and specs
True. Your team should be using frames to track group CDs
you just don't click that option on then lol
So they know what you have or don't
Same with tanks eyeballing pull sizes relative to DPS cds
If you guys had to drop big dam to save a scuffed pull
You probably don't wanna do a triple.
you can choose any spell you want to or not show a message, i don't show a message for majority of my abilities
If you wanna get banned make a mage weakaura accounce flamestrike
"FLAMEPATCH DONT MOVE"
if you get banned for that thats dumb af
cuz, i question 10 other things at that point
its like, if its so serious of an issue for this guy, that he's gone and made an angry weak aura about dont move the mobs out my shit, its like one, he should probably be in a good group already, and 2 yes and no i understand why you'd get banned for that and not
to be fair to the fire mage, "dont stand in the fire" is basically the tag line for wow
so i can understand why a group would move stuff out of the fire
Moving out of EQ and flamepatch makes me Madge
i just have vague notions and memories of various circle shapes and which are deadly and not
and then its trying to determine if i can stand in it or not
swirly boys are always bad
You should if you're low on rage and need a SS reset
Well yeah ofc
otherwise it's just execute/SS spam
But I’m saying it’s low prio
Yeah it's lower prio
Ss>exec>tc>revenge procs in execute for me
execute beats revenge up till like 4 targets, 5 if there is a high prio target in execute range.
Yeah I’m thinking mostly in st
ye st execute and ss are top two prio
imagine if you knew how MD bombs is bugged
and doesn't give threat

That's toxic
Speaking of raeli spell announce i think it's broken. Hasnt been updated since 9.0 and no longer lets me edit spells.
dwarf or dark iron dwarf, I feel like DI brings more, however I am not 100% sure, help me decide pls 🙂
dwarf looks better
Anyone soloed the jailers gauntlet to layer 8 as prot? what cov did you use? i felt like i had the most luck with necorlord
i did a few weeks into the season as necro
no cheesing i was just necro cause thaat was the cov
im on layer 7, and its getting annoying
I see DI better for the offensive use for the main stat, the dwarf 10% physical dmg reduc is not that big for us, but then again, dwarf does look 😄
@jagged pier what powers did you try to go for? i like the one where banner does aoe damage
if i dont get that, i usually just reset
ew
i mean i have the achievement
I think i got it with that
or i had to do 1 more layer 16 or somthing
but u only have to do layer 4 now dont u?
thats twisting
nope
oh well i just like doing completionist stuff
I know Marileth is #1 overall for Pwar, is it toomuch troll to go bonesmith for critt "proc" ?
Absolutely troll
Bone smith does more st damage
So if you are parse farming sure
I mean realistically
There’s not a whole lot of reason to spec off Marileth
Strong defensively and offensively
You’re coping hard
Bonesmith does sim higher in single target
Simtrap frfr
Not really
Ashen kinda means you get the benefit of carvers eye regardless and the execute echo on top of your execute kinda good
But like Marileth isn’t that much behind offensively and you gain really good passives anyways
Not to mention Marileth benefits vastly from extra buffs in keys by walking on bodies, plus the defensive shield is nice
But it’s factually true that it does more on st
i ran homer a fair bit and they do have perks in a raid setting
but i never felt like it was better than marge
i did homer on rygelon because i wanted safeguard and inspiring presence
it was fine
minor deviations are "cope"
New to tanking and have been beating on tanking dummies. Do you guys macro Shield Block or Ignore Pain to anything? I macro'd Shield Block to Shield Slam button and Ignore Pain has its own key. The only downside I can think of is I was raid tanking I would be putting up Shield Block even when I wasn't actively tanking. Just curious what you guys do.
you do not want to macro them into anything
however try ensure both are on easily accessible buttons for you
Yeah, that's my issue. runningout of keybinds lol
you need maximum control over how you spend rage
accidentally burning a ton of rage on IP because it's tied to something else is gonna screw you over
and yeah, losing effective SB uptime is very bad
whoops guess my macro popped SB on these casters and now i dont have any charges
yikes
binding shield block to shield slam is gonna feel real smart up until you cast it on a boss that's doing a 5 second long cast
or you cast it on the last mob of a pack just before a double pull and now you don't have block ready
so no, you should never macro stuff together unless that stuff always wants to be cast together
(generally offensive cooldowns)
there's a lotta buttons on your keyboard and a lot of default menu binds you can get rid of
if you just bind 12345qertfcv you will be fine for binds imo
shift also exists if you need extra
yeah, all good points. Never tanked so yeah i need to rearrange my binds
Get use to pressing your buttons and move around keys to fit comfortable for you
I know. Need to move some around to buttons that i can hit easily and ones for shift , alts etc.
If you have a mouse with keybinds on it that also helps a lot
I have most of the important stuff binded to my mouse like SB and IP
You need 4 binds for offensive spells
Shield slam, TC, revenge, execute
2 easy to hit anytime binds for shield block and Ip
3 mobility binds charge, leap and intervene (charge and intervene can be one button with a macro )
That leaves taunt, banner, avatar, spell reflect, shield wall and last stand
So 14 binds total is really all you need
and rally and demo shout
plus any racials or trinkets
and fleshcraft, healthstone, healthpot
I might have to learn some new keybinds lol. I think I counted them up one time and I have like 13 ish. Hard to teach this old man more muscle memory. lol
I can give you a free potential 6 binds on one thing that you probably don’t use much
Your scroll wheel
Shift+scroll up/down
Clicking in the scroll wheel and shift+clicking it in
Then the left click/right click of your scroll wheel assuming you have that function
Ok. i'll have to try those out. thanks
For example my shield wall is on click in, my last stand is shift click in and my spell reflect is on my click left
Real easy and intuitive to hit at anytime tbh
SW ctrl + scroll down
TC scroll down
RC ctrl + scroll up (I dont remember :C)
Ok, think I got it now. Took Intimidating Shout off keybind, moved all the longer cooldowns to alt + "key", and then macro'd intervene with charge (which I did not know I could do!). Now, I have only one open bind, So new spells with the new expac! LOL
Thanks 🙂

imo intervene into @mouseover / @focus and just have charge as usual on target
#showtooltip charge
/cast [@mouseover, help, exist] intervene
/cast charge
(can log in and find correct macro if you want but idea is there)
i would put intimidating shout back on a keybind
that's a good button
aoe interrupt
q is SB 😛 :c
Shift Q goes to an aoe stun or incapacitate
X is my avatar
Shift X is intimidating shout
For example
shift Q = banner 😛
My shield block is on R
SS :/
taunt 😊
1 is a dead button because no devastate
:c

charge :>

I mean it’s not like I’m hurting for binds
give Griff give :>
yea fair ive just got a standard 2 button mouse
$40, 5 years stronk
gang gang
Although I think it might be having some issues now

But 5 years of hard use and having one button start acting weird isn’t bad for $40
people build graveyards on prime real estate
leaving 1 open for devastate is the same thing
#rip
Look
playing most keybinds on left hand :C what would I do with 12+ more
(excluding scroll :P)
It won’t be a dead button for DF
even after 3 expansions of not pressing it i've probably pressed deva more than any other button

in my whole life
I press deva a lot in TBc
ill have to bind deva to like shift+6 probably 😦

do we use hamstring 🤔
i have pressed hamstring li ke
You can
not really
10 times this expansion
tc slow is usually enough
you can unbind it and never care
Exactly
btw if I sim pref to sim with sharp stone or shadow oil ?
stone
why ? 20 AD that big ?
Yep
bigger than the dmg proc
^
better than the flat dam from oils
oils is for people with absolutely no gear
like sub 200
or gold 
Bigger executes>oil dam
stones are 300g on my server somehow
Weightstones are fucking ridiculous
would we want reforging back into game ?
I have them because gavel and they’re dummy expensive compared to sharpening stones
no
I think everyone would
Makes every drop valuable
Or at least it does a better job at accomplishing that
play 0 mastery (ofc baseline idk what amount that would be :c ) but get more haste from set :>
haste or critt then :c playing low critt atm but 36% haste :/
its a good idea to have a healthy mix
Mastery you can prio a lot less though, truth be told
Your banner is going to supplement a heinous amount
Plus the fleshcraft buff
So Unnerving Focus + Stalwart Guardian are two must have defense conduits. What do you guys choose for your third slot, I can’t decide between Fueled by Violence or Brutal Vitality.
you dont choose a third
:c
Go with potency slots
I’m also on kyrian still…
But I’ll reference that when I swap soon
undulating is much better and lets you get a finesse as well
looks good 
and go safeguard instead @lofty widget ?
Is necro a big step up from kyrian? I’m kinda dreading not having Spear for utility
not rly played around with safeguard guess I could try.... since im only warr in our raidteam IP seems bit "the way" to go
yes it is huge for both dmg and def
in raid you definitely pick IP
show of force when ? over what ? bit meh about it but playing critt exicute seems better allround 😄
i think its like a very slight dps increase in aoe, but i pref AJ and just lean into the big ST
do y'all ever go kyrian for necrotic weeks?
no
bet
finding it "bleh" spoke to a tank friend that plays Bdk and he said no not doing keys this week 😛
Pussy
do we get a affix "reset" or will it keep same rotation into S4 ? idk how it was in passed never thought of
usually we get a reset and they switch some affix combos around
like necrotic+sanguine in s2
infested bolstering explosive UR pre nerf, it can still be a challenge to get groups through that dungeon on LFD normal, totally easy as bdk though, or easier
my bdk cotank used to dread necrotic weeks but between set bonus and necrotic nerfs she does not give a single shit about it any more

we were mostly afraid of teeming and sanguini
Teeming

Did A few more 15s felt more solid on prot
Going to try some new UIs so focus more on what’s important
Shield block gets sort of lost in my other buffs sometimes
What WA pack do you guys run?
I need to get around to fixing my whole UI. No matter what WA I put under my toon. I always look at my action bars for abilities. Buffs I track with the WA
adriox 
Hide ur actionbars or move em up
So they replace weakauras
I need to move my action bars under my toon. I just like how they show the key presses and my key binds vs a wa
Exactly
nah just hide them tbh
I’d put the action bars there and compliment with WAs for buffs and rage
No I don’t watch much wow content other than YouTube guides / news
And that seems pretty darn good
I’ll check him out
He's a dps main but the setup is good
I just haven’t got around to it because I play so many toons and hate change
I made one huge change for the warrior and then adjusted the rest when i logged over
Like my main is fury but I play prot, all 3 sham specs all 3 pally specs brew monk arcane mage and a lock lol
But I should move the bars
I was using Quazis buff bar and WA
Re: kyrian vs necro, I was under the impression from guides etc that Kyrian is better for weekly 15s and the like, and Necro is only better in higher keys because packs live long enough to get value out of extending banner. Is that right?
If you chain then packs last forever
necro is always better unless you're bad and are unable to maintain banner (sorry if toxic but true)
His UI hides the Bars default iirc
what the hell nomeratur has a weakauras? I actually love the layout

yeah im looking at it
Not for me but yknow, works for many
It's less mental overhead playing Kyrian on lower keys since you don't have to think about how to maintain banner while things explode
gonna try it out after tonight
But NL just gives you five bajillion strength and rage
which slot should i craft leggos for S4?
In the bit of 15s that I did during S3 after coming back, either I was the DPS or the DPS were assholes who I didn't want to play with again
Trueee I cringe at chain pulling because I mained healer this season and am used to tanks chain pulling when I'm at 0 mana and dying so I'll just believe in my healers more i guess 😂
So can confirm Phil's statement
Urh 💙
Dps love him healers love him
Dps love him crit and kill Vy instead #justpugthings
😂
When I played mistweaver I would use ToD on urh relic on cooldown because I couldn't trust pug dps 🤣
Anyway next question dungeon trinkets in S4 are ass excluding the tazavesh stat stick right?
yep
there is some copium around karazan trinkets
but we'll have to see how they scale when patch is live
OWS as tank is infintely more fun than as dps
most likely just using SoD trinkets though
Ows rdm or ows scale 
We want OWS + an active defensive trinket that can help with magic damage right
there's also an argument to be made for sack from streets i guess
OWS+RDM seems to be the favorite so far
Rdm fuck good

but if you prefer aegis for proactive usage you can run that over rdm
even though it does a lot less damage
Tfw I wanna play fury too and now I need 4 or 5 raid weapons/trinkets and only get 3 😭


i have to do normal mode raid for some cat mount now? ugh
you don't have to if you don't want to 
I'm looking to get started and was wondering if anyone knew of any discords that are friendly to new tanks looking to get into the tanking scene?
LFG type stuff
uh there isn't really a discord specifically where people look for new tanks to run groups with
to my knowledge at least
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question, not sure how to put it
But maybe a discord that does LFG for newer players?
Or even return players
I'm just going to be tanking specifically
As far as I'm aware, it's just go in and crash and burn. That's how I've at least always heard it as and run into anytime I take a break and come back.
player base is not friendly to new/returning players on average
You know how to run fury or arms yogi? Might have a spot in our guild runs, don't need to be a member to join up.
Intervene macros, should I create 2 for arena, I.e intervene player 1, intervene player 2
Or better to run intervene at player name
Damn I finally looked at the S4 patch notes; how nutty is that IP buff?


Is there any other worthwhile wod tank trinket? They said they are looking into adding extra items in the loot table
here's to hopium
so far no
needed to outburst TC on pull for aggro?
or avatar revenge SS revenge TC usually enough?
you don't need to, but it doesn't hurt, especially if you don't have ravager
also is there anything really wrong with using both shield block charges super early in the pull
specifically for M+
I usually use to dump rage because its not like im ever going to want to have SB not up... usually I charge in, SB IP revenge
find time to intervene, then another SB pretty quick as long as I dont overcap
well you dont want to be shield blocking when they are casting
I mean
pulls where you dont have any physical in keys are pretty rare..
im trying to think of one, maybe SD pull after first boss?
but I usually pull the gargoyle in anyway
yes you want to try and optimize the shield blcok
but no theres nothing inherently wrong of using SB to dump instead of ip
kk
Im gonna fk get good at this lol
Im not the best tank but I was do 22s pretty easily with a prot pally and my new monk does 20s like its nothing with pugs
But something about the CPM of prot warr fks with me I forget to keep track of my stuff while im doing my rotation
and I panic a lot
That just sounds like a practice thing, yes its fast and yes there are things you need to track but practice will help, doing more keys and just spending time working your rotation while focusing on other things
I'm always sad when older expansion trinkets are no use in newer expansions
Hoping they do something interesting with the dungeon rotations they are doing
Just needs more tuning
objection hearsay
accuser clearly had to change discord accounts to dodge justice
I'm just a brown name now.
No powers

Any changes on legnedary in S4? or still boring reprisal
which legendary is more exciting than reprisal
i don't think any classes are expecting major enough changes to switch up legendary setups
Just out of curiosity - which legendary do you consider not boring?
wait leggos arent boring?
i wish we just had old leggos back just ones that certain classes can get and they are good enough to use till mid next expansion
that would be cool
or is that a boomer take
Which ones do you mean+
ppl were still using thunderfury on illadin back in the day
Oh, those ones.
Yeah
boomer take.
Give me something new every month or i go complain on twitter.
That's what we do in current times.


back in my day
i liked the old legendary system a lot, especially if i didn't actually get a legendary that expac
TRUE
i liked it too but it would make so many forum kids mad
only makes them mad because they arent in guilds or groups that would allow them to get leggos
if they do a caster one, all melee people complain for an expansion
and they dont want to put in the effort
i don't think they feel very "legendary" if everyone can get them on the same timeline, but if there's any random chance or time gating or long term effort involve, people will revolt
because people feel like if they're not at the highest possible power level, they're worthless
To be honest, I'd prefer absolutely no legendaries over the current system. They don't feel legendary at all, even during Legion to me. like, they just feel like some whacko diablo drop or something
I don't enjoy it at all
thats a playerbase problem not a blizz problem tho
eh, the saddest thing you learn when you start making games professionally is that perception problems are real problems
you design something that seems to make sense to you and then people start using it stupidly
Bears with Gavels next season
besides all the rng tied to it, legion leggos seemed kinda cool
but i didnt play legion so idk how messy it was
messy af
they released tomb leggos and i got those before the initial leggo i wanted. made 3 alts just to fish for better leggo rng
it's singleplayer design in a multiplayer game
it could feel cool to get a utility leggo! but then you see someone else in your raid with the enormous damage boost leggo and there's nothing you can do to try and catch up to them
or you have a real nice covenant and leggo but then boomies complain that they dont want to play that leggo/covenant and now you dont get to
very messy at the start when there was a hardcap on the rng to get them after 4 so it was better to lvl a new char and get leggos on the new than to get your 5th, if u got the wrong leggos at the start
i think they keep trying to recapture some part of the magic of vanilla when barely any of the players knew anything about the game
but most players know everything that's possible almost immediately
idk, chain harvest from shaman looks really nice. (not speaking about their actual benefits)
but chain harvest is an ability not a legendary
^
🤔
my man wants to chain harvest, let him
if chain harvest isn't on the warrior talent trees i'm gonna shit my pants
god i wish they just put the mop cloak effects as tmog 
has to be on warrior
