drifting fable
#

if youre tanking the dog

#

which pwar should tank barghast

urban portal
#

huntsman, xymox(?) and sun king

#

are the 3 tank intensive ones before council

spiral warren
#

Council wokege

#

Did that boss on mythic for the first time last night

lusty tiger
#

Can spell reflect change of heart apparently

drifting fable
#

oh yeah

#

forgot about that

#

i played dk in s1 so

lusty tiger
#

What is so spicy about huntsman?

#

At least heroic seems fine

#

I’m not reading the mythic mechanics yet because I need layers

wild hemlock
#

yo get me in

drifting fable
#

in general maximum dps on p2 of hunstman is going to require alot of focus from the guy tanking the dog

wild hemlock
#

as dps shaman

drifting fable
#

you need to weave the dog in and out of the huntsman to both maximize cleave + counter the rip soul mechanic

lusty tiger
#

So the raid has to kill the ripped soul before it gets to huntsman… buuuut we want to cleave when that’s not happening?

drifting fable
#

yeah so you basically can cleave up until you start getting the notification that rip soul is gonna happen soon

#

move away, once the ghost is acrually up and walking you can go back

#

the healers have to deal with it then

lusty tiger
#

Cool

urban portal
#

huntsaman is very spicy

drifting fable
#

you can pop SR and stuff to mitigate the actual damage of the rip

#

then the healers have to heal it less

urban portal
#

ripped soul is a heal check

#

the shades are whats intense

lusty tiger
#

So wb sr+sw?

#

Does it do fuckall?

drifting fable
#

yeah taking the bosses over to the shade that needs to be focused is also key

lusty tiger
#

It says they spawn on the dog

#

To his left and right

drifting fable
#

yeah so you will want to consider that too for weaving

#

you dont want the adds too close to the dps when they drop

#

they need to be ccd for a bit

lusty tiger
#

This sounds fun actually

drifting fable
#

cleave when you can basically, but make sure you are moving the dog away for his mechanics

#

1st and 3rd dogs are whatever

#

healers go wild

urban portal
#

its a LOT of movement

#

in p2

#

get out, get in, get back out, get back in

#

hopefully your dps dont troll

drifting fable
#

yea there wont be a moment where you specifically get to sit there and cleave probably

#

but the brief windows for the dps will help

lusty tiger
#

How much should I be moving the 3rd dog

vapid lynx
#

I’ve always liked the huntsman fight both as dps and tank

lusty tiger
#

Will the stack kill me or will the moving kill the raid?

drifting fable
#

i watch my raid hp bars for that personally

urban portal
#

thats your decision

#

if you are taking a lot of damage per auto then its time to move

drifting fable
#

and just kinda give it gas when it looks good for helas

#

heals

urban portal
#

but prot warrior can take a lot

lusty tiger
#

Ah nice

#

It seems like I want fresh stack just before the dps bleed mechanic

drifting fable
#

sinseeker you probably wanna avoid moving during yea

ocean yoke
#

theres some fairly free time if you need to drop the stacks during p3

lusty tiger
#

How do xymox taunt swaps work?

strong forum
#

taunt for bombs

#

thats it

lusty tiger
#

Which part

strong forum
#

?

lusty tiger
#

Like bomb = 4 sec tick then raid explode right

strong forum
#

ye

lusty tiger
#

So I taunt when other tank gets debuff immediately

strong forum
#

no

#

he casts the bomb on set timings

jagged pier
#

u taunt mid cast

#

👍

lusty tiger
#

So I taunt as he’s casting glyph of destruction on the other tank?

strong forum
#

ye

#

then other tank btfos away from raid

#

and comes back after explosion

#

rinse and repeat

drifting fable
#

dont take the portal though so you wont fuck with people doing mechanics

lusty tiger
#

So they still get the debuff but the taunt swap thwarts the charging of it?

drifting fable
#

wdym

lusty tiger
#

Nvm

#

I see

drifting fable
#

its a cast and they get a aoe explosion around them

lusty tiger
#

Tank can just get out while he’s still casting if Im quick I guess

drifting fable
#

i guess but its not the tightest window

lusty tiger
#

Ye

drifting fable
#

the other tank will have plenty of time to piss off

lusty tiger
#

4sec is boomer time

#

So that’s all we do when there’s all this other debuff and portal/laser shit happening

#

Seeds too

drifting fable
#

seeds are a dps thing but yes

lusty tiger
#

Some of these fights have so much shit in actually happy I’m doing it as a tank first

drifting fable
#

tanks just need to keep his ass in the corner and jump out with glyph

#

OT can grab a seed if your melee is all sleeping i guess

#

but it shouldnt really come to that

median tulip
#

Which Dungeon has the best Shield drop this season?

vernal vale
#

We never saw this part on our heroic kill and we where far from optimized on the kill

vernal vale
#

I think it's train.

drifting fable
#

whichever one drops in my vault

median tulip
#

ugh

#

Guess I need to look up a guide for the train, then

vernal vale
#

Yeah, train has best stats for our shield.

#

Most likely we hope and pray for a good vault shield.

#

Or spend a token on the lords shield and upgrade.

median tulip
#

Well yeah, that's always been a given. But with valor being uncapped spamming for one works in the interrim

lusty tiger
#

What are the chances I can go though the entire raid tonight w a normal pug

drifting fable
#

100% i guess

#

normal is piss east

#

easy

median tulip
drifting fable
#

the raid wipe mechanics will still raid wipe. but other than that felt pretty tame

drifting fable
#

sludge hit the wall on one of the pulls and we downed him still

#

so

vernal vale
#

I'm tempted to pug normal so my spouse gets credit for it. Since she doesn't really like to raid.

#

But wants the slime cat.

lusty tiger
#

Let’s do it 6pm est today

median tulip
#

We wiped once on Xy'mox to a bad portal placement in Phase 3, to Council 5 or 6 times (explain the dance and the "find your partner", make sure people know to kick Fri) and once on D because one of the tanks was trying to aim the blast AWAY from ppl

#

other than that normal is piss easy

lusty tiger
#

How do I do the dance it never worked for me early in SL

drifting fable
#

find the square with the giant fucking beam of light and stand in it

#

face the bosses

#

then follow the dredgers

#

they do in the direction

median tulip
drifting fable
#

you just move 1 square at a time

lusty tiger
#

Ohh there’s a spotlight

drifting fable
#

yea god

#

i see now my guildies werent the only ones who struggled with that concept keks

#

i guess it does suck if your spot is all the way in the back and you dont know what youre looking for

lusty tiger
#

Yes that was me

median tulip
#

Make sure you have a Warlock to put a portal down

drifting fable
#

we had a dude miss it for like 3 weeks before he asked why he kept getting rolled during the danxe

vernal vale
median tulip
#

"Find your Partner" is actually the dangerous mechanic

urban portal
#

not enough mobility

drifting fable
#

yeah dark recital

urban portal
#

the wheel chair not too powerful

drifting fable
#

we killed stavros 1st S1 because of that shit

#

my guild could not not die to that

median tulip
#

I've been enjoying being back in Nathria though. The Raid design and Voice Acting are so very much better than SoD or SotFO

urban portal
#

SOD had too much walking in the raid

#

sep had too much trash

lusty tiger
#

Can tanks get dark recital(find ur partner)

crystal mauve
lusty tiger
#

Well the puddle those people drop, do I need to move the bosses or should they not be reee and drop it on tank spot?

#

I remember dying to that a bunch

drifting fable
#

no they need to go

drifting fable
#

raid will pick a spot for them to walk

#

they need to be proactively moving and staying together

crystal mauve
#

You move the side, they walk in circle around you. You should move sround the same circle with a delay to give them Space/uptime

distant crystal
#

everybody stacks on the boss's butt, then moves in a circle around boss when it goes out, we do counter-clockwise

#

the stavros tank can usually just do their thing, but if it's going out while the group is coming by with recital you can turn it to dodge them

lusty tiger
#

Yea was just checking that

minor kestrel
#

Is Trashmaster's Mantle (pure vers cloak) bis now?

sweet summit
#

it does not have haste so no

distant crystal
#

the title is bis

#

but you can go do some shenanigans in vol'dun to keep the title w/o wearing cloak

minor kestrel
quaint glade
#

I just depleted the 17 for 1 second F in the chat please

#

Damn hunter wiped us by pulling a boss into a trash

marsh aurora
#

still a bit too much tc but it''s getting better

#

also idk how to chain pull in streets

#

for banner uptime

cobalt seal
marsh aurora
#

we don't mention execute

#

see that thunder clap line

cobalt seal
marsh aurora
#

could be execute

#

but i'm bad

cobalt seal
#

Pressing TC isn't bad

#

not pressing execute is

marsh aurora
#

i'm pressing tc over a lot of stuff

#

so pressing tc is bad

drifting fable
#

streets is a hard one to keep it up-up all the time of course

#

with all the RP and whatnot

#

you can have decent combat uptime though

marsh aurora
#

well i did have 100% uptime on bosses with banner so that's a start

#

wouldn't have happened before i asked in here

drifting fable
#

hell yeah, nice gain

vernal vale
lusty tiger
#

For the first 1/2 of slg is the tank mechanic first tank on kaal, next tank on goraal, so first tank can clear bleed?

vernal vale
#

For goraal it's the stone fist that's the swap

grave crane
#

tank swapping on crystalize is kinda important. stone fist we can take like 2 or 3 before switching i think

vernal vale
#

Stone fist you can take 3 easily.

grave crane
#

i had a blood dk who was kyrian so he just vialed and got rid of the stacks which made life super easy

#

so when they both came down we just each tanked our preferred one and swapped when we got high stacks

vernal vale
#

Crystallize isn't completely end game if you miss it wither to be honest. The bleed takes a good number of stacks before it gets out of hand.

arctic pawn
#

question: for prot what is the best stat to pic at start of dungeon? vers or haste?

jagged pier
#

haste

grave crane
#

gotta go fast bro

lusty tiger
#

Can I not stoneform the bleed?

#

Or the stone fist?

sweet summit
#

slg? no

grave crane
#

wouldnt know im an orc

vernal vale

#

Are there any Items I want to use my Coins on for Prot? I suppose OWS?

night oracle
#

is prot not gd in low keys ?

#

or should i chain pull all the time

lusty tiger
#

Should only one tank be taking serrated swipes?

toxic pewter
night oracle
#

guess im pressing too many revenge with rage ?

lofty widget
night oracle
#

i guess im gonna get used to prior the revenge proc from charging ?

#

instead of using normal revenge

waxen orbit
#

@ionic fern Ayo, if I got a 294 helm, do I upgrade this shit to full and replace my Reprisal and place it on my ring?

sweet summit
#

nothing on ring, that is mechagon slot

waxen orbit
#

Necklace?

sweet summit
#

unity on wrists or some shit

#

neck good too

drifting fable
waxen orbit
#

What is better though

drifting fable
#

revenge good

sweet summit
#

not sure which one is objectively better

waxen orbit
#

Oh wait

#

Neck is better to replace

#

No prim stat

#

Duh doi

#

I should've figured that out on my own

sweet summit
#

you lose like 10-15 str from 291-304-311 wrists iirc

distant crystal
#

i wonder if wrists have lower primary budget than the wod necks

urban portal
#

wod jewlery is so bad

#

they lose so much secondaries

drifting fable
vernal vale
waxen orbit
#

Neck gives socket too

#

And has no prim

vernal vale
#

Neck still has great pieces like cabochon though too

#

Huge haste on that neck

drifting fable
#

neck is probably the play unless theres a better non-leggo neck, cuz primary

waxen orbit
#

But you add haste to the neck

vernal vale
#

True

#

Someone needs to do some Sims and see for sure.

sweet summit
distant crystal
#

hmm i guess there's no haste-heavy pristat neck from the wod dungeons

drifting fable
#

no way its that bad

sweet summit
#

it is

#

so bad

I still got 3k and all my 20s done

I'm currently around here

vernal vale
#

1k rage isn't as bad as it sounds across an entire dungeon. That being said can always work on improving.

#

I havent started my grind this season.

wraith hound
#

yeah I am just wondering how much of that is me being incompetent and how much is ping

dawn canyon
#

why did they abbreviate kara lower with LOWR

vernal vale
#

Nah, just the nature of it sometimes you just get a fuckload of rage.

#

Just focus on getting better and better.

modern brook

somehow i keep geting upper

dawn canyon
#

our group of 4 has 3 lowers

wraith hound
#

can I beat a 15 upper....

#

I think I will feel like paper xD

dawn canyon
#

paladin refuses to tank it "we always deplete - just a waste of time"

#

upper is fine

marsh aurora
#

depot was painful

#

what is this dungeon

#

no matter which char i do it with i'm not having fun

#

and the train on war o boi

dawn canyon

depot is shit for camera

i don't' know anyone that did

i never did any legion at all

drifting fable

all things considered im glad we’re getting GD out of the way on this meme season

pugs gonna pug

sick sentinel
#

its not a pug until the warlock starts trying to talk shit cuz hes a warlock and your not

#

so you cant take sides with the mage whos your guildy cuz he feels like a loser, and lock just running his mouth

vernal vale
#

Pugs are awful

marsh aurora
#

last run i did our mw died mid boss fight on EVERY SINGLE fight

#

so our hunter died cause mm has 0 defensive and is paper

sick sentinel
#

the shadowlands werent all that terrible, but it was a huge missed opportunity cost

marsh aurora
#

and the 2 monks' premades started shittalking the poor hunt for dying

#

hehe

#

pug at its finest

drifting fable
#

pretty much

marsh aurora

but now i can watch nome's stream so all is well

sick sentinel

we could have had the dread lords in the maw and all kinds of cooll stuff, but it feels like a desolate barren wasteland instead

Lower Kara went very bad for me. Paladin dying to everything. Hunter pulling extra ushers

i had to stop myself from being toxic but it was pretty sad. we had people literally walking with the guy

vernal vale

Oof

#

Yeah, im dreading it.

#

Guild groups as much as I can.

grave crane
#

progress baby

drifting fable
grave crane
#

also iron docks is kinda free

limpid pawn
#

man AM just doesn't feel good to me

drifting fable
#

why is that

limpid pawn
#

no other tank needs to go in and out to keep up mitigation on bosses lol

modern brook
#

That's not am

drifting fable
#

not sure what that has to do with AM but you are correct

limpid pawn
#

i have all 6 tanks, like having to use your leap sometimes to get out of bosses melee range just to keep up mitigation that other classes get is lame

grave crane
#

reprisal?

modern brook
#

You shouldn't have to leap

limpid pawn
#

if you use heavy repercussion build, you don't have to do that so it is AM

drifting fable
#

lmao

limpid pawn
#

leap/walk away sometimes

drifting fable
#

no

modern brook
#

?????????

drifting fable
#

its reprisal that you have to charge/intervene

modern brook
#

I don't even play this game and I know that's wrong :/

limpid pawn
#

reprisal + heavy repercussions will allow you to pretty much face tank for much longer

drifting fable
#

we dont run AM cuz of reprisal

#

we run it for tier

limpid pawn
#

i know we run AM for tier

strong forum
#

if you play HR currently youre trolling

#

simple as

limpid pawn
#

but im saying that the alternative build with HR lets you face tank more in exchange for less avatars

drifting fable
#

how so

limpid pawn
#

i currently play necro/AM because it is better value

jagged pier
#

as u can get 95% blocked hits

#

without HR

limpid pawn
#

but i have played like kyrian/HR before and it felt ok for some dungeons

toxic pewter
#

I dont even like AM but i still run it cuz the rage loop is what is most important to our spec atm

limpid pawn
#

ok, like you charge into the boss with reprisal, and if you have HR you can extend that initial shield block for giga long

#

then you have the second charge and intervene that can act as back up extenders

#

but HR extends it really really long

toxic pewter
#

Oh, nah, necro is just way more powerful

strong forum
#

sure, with HR you can be alot lazier

#

but overall youre gonna be alot more successful with AM

limpid pawn
#

all im saying is that warrior requires a lot more good play with AM to get the same mitigation that all otheer tanks get for free

strong forum
#

yes

limpid pawn
#

like at BEST you are just doing what the other tanks do for free by playing your ass off babysitting shield block and your charges/intervene/leaps

toxic pewter
#

other tanks suck

drifting fable
#

all are true statements

limpid pawn
#

and even then we aren't like S -tier - meaning the giga play isn't rewarded with a giga status tank

drifting fable
#

but that doesnt mean AM is the issue

chrome falcon
#

hey man if you're trying to persuade us that prot warrior is high risk for mediocre reward

vernal vale
chrome falcon
#

you don't need to

#

we know

limpid pawn
#

lol yes

mighty valley

personally enjoy way way way more uptime on our 20% damage 10% DR free rage button

chrome falcon
#

30% damage

limpid pawn
#

high risk mediocre reward is it

toxic pewter
#

??

limpid pawn
#

like if you play perfect reprisal am style, you should be like S tier tank IMO

toxic pewter
#

we are s tier tank

limpid pawn
#

anyone gonna tell him? lol

mighty valley

we're really pretty strong

toxic pewter

Tell me wat

#

good pic

i mean maybe this means something but not sure

mighty valley

yeah, the community rallies around a meta tank, what's new

vernal vale
#

It means people try to copy MDI

modern brook

Smh

#

Imagine coming to a warrior discord

drifting fable
#

it means our class perspective was in the gutter at the start of the season and all the tier list makers gave a bad community perception

toxic pewter

he sounds like me from 2 months ago lmao

limpid pawn
#

nooo, not saying that

i think reprisal style of play - should have a higher/better reward is all

toxic pewter
#

it does

chrome falcon
toxic pewter
#

its bad ass

vernal vale

Play something else if you don't like warrior

#

Oh look your problem is solved.

in relative terms, it does - we're insanely more powerful playing AM necro than anything else

reprisal makes pwar alot harder to play than other tanks yes, but its literally top2 in terms of power

idk what more you could want

from season 3 to season 4 we rose to top 2 now?

what is the main difference?

in certain dungeons we are def number 1 tank

we were technically top 2 in s3 aswell

just nobody good bothered to pick it up seriously

so far, yes

thats why they didnt nerf them this season

i've heard people say that iron docks shredded them but my life was the least of our problems in there, i didn't feel threatened at all

#

everyone else, though...

strong forum
#

tanks dont take dmg in iron docks

#

dps and healer however...

limpid pawn
#

iron docks is pretty easy, the only thing is the timing of the arrows - if you just troll it

#

like people who haven't been there before will just yolo it and die

toxic pewter
#

iron docks and even grimrail are great for me. Grimrail last boss is tough tho

mighty valley

at higher keys on tyrannical the 3rd boss just picks someone and eats them

oh word. gotcha

gimme a second to look

in the meantime

watch this

wraith hound
#

I got some advice from mattacate, really good, still not able to uptime the banner a lot but getting there

chrome falcon
#

quite a bit of overcapping

drifting fable
#

oh did you watch his video?

chrome falcon
#

on rage

drifting fable
#

also criminal SS casts and charges

chrome falcon
#

shield slam casts per minute are very very low

#

SS is like ~6 second cooldown

#

6-7

#

so without any SS procs you should be 10 CPM minimum

#

and obviously you have a lot of SS procs

#

SS cpm should be closer to 13

@chrome falcon I have fixed my binds 🙂

chrome falcon
uneven wagon
#

ive been misclicking a lot

#

BUT

#

it does feel a lot better to spam IP

chrome falcon
drifting fable
#

all muscle memory eventually

chrome falcon
#

you need to generate a lot more rage mba by pressing more shield slams

uneven wagon
#

well yeah but I am overwriting my current muscle memory

chrome falcon
#

and then you need to spend it more effectively by pressing more IP

drifting fable
#

fair enough haha

uneven wagon
#

can you do my logs next mr mattacate :3

chrome falcon
#

you only cast 1 execute

#

but honestly executing is like

#

an optimisation thing

#

compared to SS casts

drifting fable
#

agreed. theres alot to work on

uneven wagon
#

it is just a silly little normal raid

chrome falcon
#

you blocked fewer than 50% of melees

#

which needs to be like over 80% of melees

#

you can link it but the only thing it's gonna show is like

#

if you're running wrong talents or just totally missing casts on an important spell

#

i can't even analyse my own mythic logs atm because it's so ez

uneven wagon
#

I know exactly what I'm doing wrong I'm not using reprisal enough

#

can't reach 100% uptime on banner 😢

uneven wagon
chrome falcon
#

resources->rage

drifting fable
#

@wraith hound the class goes VERY fast. very high apm. there shouldnt be a waking moment youre not hitting something. SS, dumping rage in revenge/IP, walking to charge, etc etc

just keep on practicing

maybe another help is this

drifting fable

go to a dummy and practice the stuff in mattas vid

YOU NEED TO IP TO KEEP UP BANNER

#

you cant keep up banner with just revenge

#

you need to use both

chrome falcon
#

as you'll notice, you cast most of your last stands when banner wasn't up

#

you want to last stand on cooldown BUT ONLY IF BANNER IS UP

drifting fable
#

last stand is an OFFENSIVE cooldown. dont read the tooltip. the important thing is the rage from Unnerving Focus conduit

uneven wagon
#

i have found it

drifting fable
#

use it to keep banner alive

chrome falcon
#

nah i mean they understand that they need to LS on cooldown

#

they get that

#

it just needs to also be during banner

drifting fable
#

sure but some people dont see it as an offensive

uneven wagon
#

makes sense when the game hardly makes it clear it is

#

i know i need to do reprisal more

#

idk what else

#

ive been misclicking IP instead of SB a lot cus of binds lol

chrome falcon
#

just looking at like

#

denathrius

#

SS cpm is low

uneven wagon
#

WB on like devourer or something where u just stand still and hit things

drifting fable
#

hard to tell on a 3 minute fight but i did see you only charged 4 times

wraith hound
chrome falcon
#

ok so

#

i did a 6 min hungering destroyer mythic tonight

#

with 17.5 SS cpm

chrome falcon
#

you had 14 CPM

#

in a 3 min kill

#

shorter kills should have higher CPM

#

because you have BL up for a greater % of the fight

#

so

#

more SS

lofty widget
#

revenge casts are also low, so fewer SS procs

chrome falcon
#

i had 23 revenge CPM on my kill

#

you have 13

#

basically

#

hit them fuckin buttons harder

#

the description of my video wasn't a meme, if it doesn't sound like you're trying to snap your keyboard in half, you ain't slamming hard enough

uneven wagon
#

What if I have silent keys

chrome falcon
#

but that's just practice/keybind familiarity

#

so it looks like you get what you're meant to do

#

you're just not greased up enough

drifting fable
#

you need to be pressing something every second and then some. its a 90 cpm spec

wraith hound
#

I think my biggest issue is I queue a spell because SS isn't ready yet but it becomes ready the same time when my other cast goes off where I could theoretically press it but I can't now since I queued another spell due to latency. does that make any sense? @chrome falcon

strong forum
#

this is my CPM of a 12min Banner

#

from a month ago

chrome falcon
#

everyone does that sometimes

uneven wagon
#

12 mins????

chrome falcon
#

but you have to eliminate as much as possible

strong forum
#

was a few experimental shit going on so the CPM is like 7 less

chrome falcon

it was on a target dummy turtles

we can keep banner infinitely Turtles

chrome falcon

you can keep banner up literally for 12 years

reprisal is important

chrome falcon

so don't feel bad if you're not quite at that level

it's just practice

drifting fable
#

just practice

#

yea

strong forum
#

its the bread and butter to keep up banner

chrome falcon
#

practice and keep posting logs to make sure you understand the basic concepts

pallid quiver
#

hitting a dummy makes it very easy, muscle memory

chrome falcon
#

and are trying to implement them

wraith hound
#

idk 80 apm seems intimidating when I had to let go of fury due to latency with under 70 APM

pallid quiver
#

Once you get 100% uptime on dummy, you can carry through and think about how to main/upkeep in raids

strong forum

currently pwar is more like 86cpm

chrome falcon

yeah idk what to tell you about your latency

what is your spell queue set to?

what kind of latency are you running? just curious

default SQW is 400

I know 100% uptime is like important on banner but can you not do well as prot if you don't do it or

of playing the class correctly

but youll want to aim to have banner up for basically all of combat

its literally there to help you with bad ping

uneven wagon

I just mean do you have to play 100% optimally sweating the whole time to do higher keys or mythic raiding

chrome falcon

it's a / command mba but i can't remmeber it

the lower your ping, the lower your SQW should be

chrome falcon

higher keys yes turtles

lusty tiger

I have good ping and it feels like I’m getting spell queued hard

chrome falcon
#

mythic raiding no

uneven wagon
#

Cus other tanks don't need to have 2500 CPM to do well

chrome falcon
#

mythic raiding you just need to have shield block up

#

and rally when your RL tells you to

and you can play prot fine

but keep this in mind

pallid quiver

There's actually not much that's extreme sweat-lord about playing Prot if you've practiced it other than reacting to SS resets. Everything else is set on a hard timer, you just gotta press fast

drifting fable
#

how you not just die with that lvl of blocks lol

strong forum
#

Banner is a 30% dmg buff compared to not having banner up, aswell as a 30-40% surv gain

#

so its quite something

uneven wagon
#

Ok so

#

Is APM warrior a lot stronger than other tanks if played perfectly

drifting fable
#

for sure

#

if played wrong it blows hard

#

played well its top 2

uneven wagon
#

What's the other one

drifting fable
#

bdk

#

we already out dps all other tanks

chrome falcon
#

a perfect pwarr is about as strong as a very good bdk

but a perfect bdk is just

So there is a payoff for sweating and it's not like you can just play another class put in less effort and do as well or better

maybe BDK beats you if it's a 4:30 boss

youll be behind BDK until execute

but you should always beat them

ok if he's up 15 ilvls and has a gavel

thunderclaps?
