I have raid vaults to complain about
Ah, see, i don't raid.
this 3rd vault from me is a 3rd vault option of defiance though lol
do a 10?
now it's a better defiance
already did enough this week i think
did a 17 and the biggest key i ever did before that was some miracle 18

How do you guys tank the mobs in the train area of grimrail?
I feel like they nuke me
Avoid the fire is the biggest thing
Fire = ripperoni
Frontals can be sidestepped, floor fire can be walked out of
been like this since the dawn of gaming literal in pac man days some ppl still dont get it somehow
I feel like I have no room in that area and people bait sleep clouds in the middle 😦
fire ... bad? no fire warm, cozy.... i like the fire, gunna go take a nice nap here
it gives you +4 spirit as well
Aim camera so you can actually see the frontals to sidestep them, stun Flametongue
its a very thin cone like the horses in lower
very easy to sidestep
what is a good addon to auto accept lfg invites?
and what does everyone do with shared suffering? Is the answer really to leap it and intervene away? Having the guy chase ya down while also running at your dps seems bad
auto accept LFR your group is ready prompts? i thought those could have been tos cuz its automation
its just a pain to sign up to groups in LFG and then not be able to do anything else while I wait for people to ponder whether or not I look enough like a blood dk
if you have DBM or big wigs it shows a timer
its 40 seconds from noise, and the wow icon in task bar goes flashing yellow, almost have to be trying to miss it
Is there a good macro for IP ? Like in Shield slam or sth? xD
/cast ignore pain
That's literally all you want
Ip in your SS is giga troll
You could make ur IP bind also SS
Thats ok
I myself have embraced the super macro
/cast Ignore Pain
/cast Shield Slam
To "replace" your IP button
You still have a seperate SS button ofc, but with that macro when you wanna dump rage with IP, you automatically snipe SS resets
Nome do u think elvui deniers should just download more RAM 
Eyo you spying on me
Kek
JB and fleks is all you need for wow Twitter
On topic of elvui I did the same thing, leaving plater in, and noticed no difference. Removed plater tho and noticeable performance increase with big pulls. I must've had a pretty bloated plater profile, ig
is it usual to have "downtime" in rage spending? like i could hit revenge i suppose but is it common for ignore pain to not just be taken and eaten up relatively fast in a pack?
Uuuh no not rly
maybe im not tracking it right
u arent generating enough for sure
any ignore pain weakaura ud suggest?
Usually with playing necrolord you should always be quite rsge filled
ah, im kyrian currently, just picked up prot as off spec
well my rage seems fine atm like i have extra
Kyrian is just 60 rage every 45sec
im wondernig if my ignore pain should be eaten up fast when tanking a pack or what not
Whereas banner is 240 rage every minute
that macro sounds dumb enough to try
Well depends on keylevel
see what happens i guess
so ignore pain, reduces dmg and applies a shield, does the dmg the shield take also get reduced?
ignore pain is effectively a shield that takes twice as long to eat through
So, any dmg you reduce by blocking and SW/demo shout/SR comes first
Then flat absorbs like IP come after that
so for easy sake, if i get hit for 100 but i reduce it by lets say, 30% so it comes thru as 70
the 70 is what is absorbed?
35
right my math sucks
IP absorbs 50% of the dmg coming through, as long as the IP shield can make up 50% of the dmg itself
if it cant make up the 50% will it use the shield to eat as much as it can then have the rest come thru as reduced dmg or will the remainder of the dmg go back to being full dmg?
If you take 200k dmg, and have 50k IP banked, you take 150k dmg cuz it exceeds the IP absorb despite the 50% absorb
its 55% now but the idea is the same
huge buff
gotcha ok
Forgot about that
is it worth finding an IP weak aura?
Not rly
yes and no
or if im in a pack shoudl i just kinda re apply it?
its not something that will be saving your life
If you play ideal, you'll mostly use IP only to prevent overcapping on rage
like for rage spending : shield block > ignore pain > excess on revenge?
SB > revenge > IP
excess on ip
ok
BUT
As kyrian you don't get as much rage
So you won't find yourself using alot of IP
So you just gotta practice
thanks, next question. Just how strong is shield block exactly. im not sure i understand it these days (havent really done any tanking focus since like cata)
big strong
whenever u facetank
SB is exceedingly strong vs blockable dmg
u want to block
critically strong even
IP is pretty weak if you can't spam it
prot warrior is machine against physical/blockable dmg
That being said
When you're playing necrolord you will use alot of IPs just for the sake of not overcapping rage
ok
So it'll make up quite a significant chunk of your tankiness
But blocking is your highest prio
Outside of medivh but you'll use SB there for dmg anyway
so if i have IP up, block up, and a revenge is free thats pretty m uch the only time i revenge?
shield slam isnt always up
This is casts per minute breakdown
From a gambit
That's the dmg breakdown
Ofc SS is a huge button for you
But whenever you can't press SS, you aim to press revenge, and a bit of TCs
dang im surprised that revenge<ss on cambit
Well it ain't
keyboard bad
For me revenge is rarely ever beating SS outside of lower
Not rly
should i not run crackling thunder?
Dmg breakdown won't change
should i use serve cold then?
No
BV is more important for banner uptime assuming you play necro
For kyrian BSC is better I guess
oh lol i had 2 talent tiers mixed up
i do run booming voice
ok i see
so if i dont NEED rage
hit revenge
if i do need rage hit shield slam?
You want to press shield slam as often as you can
ok
It's your top priority button
what are the chances i can macro like
IP into SS
or something
good idea? bad idea?
bad
i would only do that on an extra button if u desire so
only macro i use
Relatively
yes and no
But still wanna press it
focus more on SS and revenge, keeping block up when needed and IP to not rage cap/keep absorb on?
whenever u are in a hole of rage gen u press tc
Cuz it does dmg and generates rage
and have nothing to press
Pmuch
But you don't wanna "keep absorb on"
That's very situational
You'll naturally press alot of IP just by playing well
gotcha
and i take it any mastery user in my keys will enjoy me making the necro swap?
Just don't prior revenge over Ss
Well it's just 15sec of mastery
Every now and again
It's not a huge deal
ah
You play banner for yourself
oh selfish, i like it
Cuz it's 22% str, 400 mastery and 4rage/sec with pretty much 100% uptime if played well
That's alot of toys for 1 button
yeah ima watch the pinned youtube video soon
more like die by the sword, but you vs enemy while SB is up, in meme format
Hey guys.
What are my legendary missives for Reprisal?
I can't find it anywhere. >:l
vers haste is mostly the play
did you check wowhead guide?
I looked at four websites, tbh.
I think I just forgot wowhead existed for a good twenty minutes.
are all those 4 websites with .io?
i too am normally trying to look outside sites wowhead and such, before i come here some times with problems
I think one of those were, ye. LUL.
i dont think wowhead mentions missives does it?
pretty sure it does
like, i had tried to look on MDT and wowhead unsatisfactorily regarding shade of medivh abilities, last night in case clarification andies
Nah, I just forgot wowhead existed for a good twenty or so minutes.
It happens when I have goldfish memory.
ye well it does mention your desired stats in general
hum
you either check wowhead or icyveins
everything else is unfiltered data
and not worth checking
Oh yeah no.
I'm not denying that.
It just didn't come to memory. It happens every so often.
oh true im a lazy person couldnt read more than the first 5 sentences
thats a consequence of not having read a book for ages
i mean tbf u open the page
and then u see
use reprisal
but the secondaries are mentioned half way through the page
why not mention in first place tho 🙂
i think the author is trying to activate your thought process
now that i think of it
actually gigachad
so that no one would ever come here and ask if codex is a good trinket
after you read the entire guide
i only have 1 304 reward tomorrow but if its a codex imma probably take it
Is there any single solution to the nameplate horror that is Karazhan (much like Tol Dagor or Waycrest manor back then) ?
Only 1?? Do some more 15s 💪
nah, curator crushed my hopes and dreams
average wipes on curator =2, mana boogaloo
does prot warr or brewmaster have a "smoother" dmg intake
Didn't they fix this
all player hitboxes are normalized (same sizes)
The actual comparison between these tanks is a question about how many braincells are required to smooth the damage intake
For the walk past those anima guys in upper? You can just leap down the middle
I would argue warrior does. Monk does everything though. Warrior does warrior things better. Monk has higher potential but I would rather take warrior. It is why I switched from monk.
I’m a tauren too 🐮
Can u spell reflect leeching claw from malganis
in lords of dread
Or does that goof it up
I'm 99% sure that isn't reflectable so you just get the 20% (or whatever it is) damage reduction
trying to hard out of 10
trying to hard to be the sexiest yea
Banger
not enough low res texture in there 7/10
Needs a better shield
No?
i could do a way wose one if i tried
what route do you guys like in junkyard this week?
i'd use the amazon prime one if i ever bought amazon primte
head over to gunker play standard pull (u have 3 zap bots by then) then go to trixie into gobo
i am eu btw
in case you are na dunno
4*
And 5 if you have 1 person who can vanish/feign/invis/shadomeld
That's why it's always the first pull
You can get 4-5 zap bots insta
Hey guys, recently started learning tanking. Have a questions regarding routes. Is there a database, site or anywhere in particular where i can look up optimal/good routes? Dont have yet the experience as a tank to create ones without a dps yelling at me for doing non-meta pulls
2 on the hill, 1 at the coil bearers, 1 in the pipe at gunker, 1 in the cave below
Download Method dungeon tools. Go on raider.io and get dratnos routes and use those
There's also one down the path after coil bearers that you can get without pulling extra
thanks! i'm eu aswell
this maybe a noob question but i'm always told to prioritze ilvl over prefered secondary since we scale best with mainstat but does that hold true for rings which dont have mainstat?
For rings you can drop up to 13 ilvl for stats
Unless it's haste for haste ring
You can drop like 13ilvl from a non-haste to a haste ring
And if its the mechagon combo, it's alot more ilvl you can drop to get it
I got 288 ring with lot of crit and some haste and a 278 ring with a lot of haste and some mastery
You can use MDT and find routes just by searching on Google. I would caution Dratnos routes are typically for higher key levels. Like well over 20.
If you have a group of 5 just go into the dungeon and figure out what works for you and your comp. Otherwise try DPSing a few low keys and see where other tanks go.
Hi all I'm a night fae prot warrior that uses heavy repercussions and I came here to trigger yall. Good morning!
Hi
Has that changed Phil? Last time I looked at them he was doing them for 20ish key levels
Theyre meant for beginners and include as little skips or big pulls as possible
dratnos routes are not that much of a meme 🙂 obviously they lack something but they are more than fine for 20-25 keys
That's where you use dratnos advanced route :p
Guess I'll dial back my skeptical views and go look at them again.
thats a good take
I dont feel like routes are difficult this season - easiest one yet to figure out. dungeons very linear except junkyard
He doesnt have u invis outside of upper which is neat
i wouldnt be too strict in general towards routes because a dungeon is always dynamic in terms of cds etc
press w works more often than not
Yep
Have you ever seen a tank decide to make their own route that makes 0 logical sense
I've had DPS try that
Lol guys we need this whole pack for % ninja pulls
Then get mad I wasn't there to save them
u as a tank should decide what u are comfy living right?
"ok this is what i can live, now pull double for time"
ends dungeon at 140% mob count sorry I might have pulled extra pack or two or eight
O I ran a +15 grim rail for vault had whole last train before the second boss bug pull
Many kiting was done
At least u cant really go over % in train
Ended up back on first train lol
You could pull entire lower and go to 170%
hey guys, i just ran a 12. Whats more important, revenge or IP? (like if i already have an IP up and i only have rage for 1 or the other, which do i choose) i feel like my rage gen as necrolord isnt as high as it was for the dude in the video in the pins
Revenge
Ip is literally the LAST on rage spending prio
You will generate waaay more rage ripping revenges and getting free ss procs
i ran +5 gambit my own this morning, tried to pull last murlocs with the 2 lightning guys, that sucked, later tried pulling one of the 2 starseers with accomplice patrol group, that pull sucked even more and was wipe
way under estimated their power to overwhelm us
one of the attempts i had on curator 360k hp, last one alive with healer, execute spam, still died and wiped.
I
That can be rough with the constant magic dam
But I think in a low key you should be able to heal through
that's where i gave up though, i'm not fighting tooth and nail for a second 304
You only press IP to avoid overcapping rage, which is a very common scenario. IP should almost always be up by sheer coincidence. If you won't overcap, though, revenge is by far what you want to spend rage on due to it resetting Shield Slam, which means you get more rage to spend.
i did a 12 iron docks and had banner up 55% of the time, is that pretty good for just starting to work on it?
if you have logs that'll help, but ESPECIALLY in a 12 you can just smash IP
if you've literally just started 55% is totally fine yeah
sorry not smash IP
smash revenge
Yeah, if it's your first M+ run for banner, it's fine. You'll just need to press more buttons, especially revenge
i dont really tank anymore -_- so i pulled 2 packs then wanted 1 more dude and apparently i pulled zulgamax and i died 😦 but we didnt wipe lol but banner fell off there 😦
IP should only be used to avoid overcaps
yeah you gotta be careful of the patrolling named mob
he can easily pulled zugzug pack
also if you have have ravager down and last stand up you'll be "using IP to avoid overcapping", also known as mashing that shit on cooldown
^
LMAOO
during LS+ravager you literally don't need to look at your rage bar
you just spam IP
for about 10 seconds
without even looking
Just slam the f outta it
here was my dmg break down, 10.9k overall dps
looks right
seems about right, revenge could probably be slightly higher but
just need to keep banner up more
tc seems a bit high compared to the other 2
Tclap kinda high?
yeah
are you using outburst on TC?
and healing
Rdm pog
depends on the pulls but yesh i guess thats a bit high
always do it on SS
ThunderClapTalent is the shit
yeah don't do that
i tend to use tc woth outburst on big packs
Well don’t
for the rage
old habbit i think
sjnce i dont need the extra rage bc im getting hit so many times
i was using IP a lot this dungeon, prob why my revenge looks lower
unless youre gonna overwrite outburst or you know what youre doing you always hit SS outburst
cuz i wasnt sure :\
so basically during ravager + LS ill probably be hitting ip alot, but otherwise not so much?
youre always hitting IP a lot
yeah
and keeping Shield block up takes top prio right?
Why would you still outburst SS in like a 10 mob pull
because it gives you rage
but in a 10 mob pull as long as you have good rage generation (ls, ravager, demo shout) you would probably use some outbursts on TC
"or if you know what youre doing" basically if you can keep up banner 100 % anyways, its more dmg to TC outburst on +6 targets
^
Yea imma keep TC'in
but most people are TCing too much with outbursts
TC cooler though
false
mmm also, the guys i took for +5 gambit werent super gearedi was the highest ilvl at 282
TC lame as hell
Plus i use the avatar TC talent
nah feels ass
To be fair
oh
You can tell they played bfa pwar
well
Y'all wild lol
i gues i should have taken that into account
There’s still no ss emoji
if you use unstoppable force then
uhhh
sure do what you want lol
that shit sucks tho
I'm not doing 25's it doesnt matter
true
sure
Being wild for playing correctly
XDD

Thunderclap is MY(PERSONAL LIKING) fav part of prot
i would like thunderclap more if it didn't do Literally Zero Fucking Damage
With minimal rage gains too
yes and also generate Literally Zero Fucking Rage
i kind of like the dynamic of rage gain with tc
but it definitely should do more damage
i dont mind tclap being low rage gen but the damage is terrible
Outbursts TC's with whatever the talent do decent, or at least feels like it
sure
Yeah if you hate banner uptime
It does comically big dam on some packs tho
Buff tc
everything does tho
+17 grimrail
Show of force+ Unstoppable force talent makes the next TC +52.7% damage
I love bike, but grimrail doesn't really have the huge pulls like other dungeons where it can really pop off
152% of awful is only barely less awful
show that show of force unstoppable flrce is fine to play
my tc's hit almost as hard without either of those 2 
unstoppable is fine to play eyah
He*
iron docks?
I see, fair enough; but I like to be clappin alot @lofty widget
does this mean impending victory now viable? 
i like tclappint a lot
oh it was upper, prob not accurate lol
how many SS's do you have
but the only bad thing is that you have to spam the fuck out of ip
bc tou dont revenge as much
Yea that def happens a decent amount, makes it awkward a decent amount of times per dungeon
i love tclap
But still keeps the rage u need to keep banner up
i hope ravager isnt the play in dragonflight so we xan go UF
do they compete?
why not both?
no they're in different trees
I've never played with signet so I don't know how it be
pretty shit atm since we only proc it with ava
Is it normal for lowers to disband clearing auttumen trash?
but apparently its gonna proc off ravager in DF
the dps specs have 2 things that proc signet
Yes
yes
we only have 1
attumen trash is by far the hardest part of the dungeon on fort
Signet for tank cring
I managed on my DH last night to have the horses not charge if I stood high enough on the hay of the edges of the room, but I need to test it more
didn't do damage+they didn't move
you still take dmg tho
o
i hate those horses
First 23 was going smooth until dps couldn’t dodge horsies then I couldn’t dodge horsies for 4x the time waiting for them to walk back
it was dodgeable cuz plenty of room
frontals you csnt tank 
ye theres a few places you can tank where they wont charge
but idk i ran lower like 5 times this season
When u have 3 horsies and their charges get staggered
I just started moving when I heard the 🐴 sound
the funny psrt about the horses is dps who wsnt me to pull more
but dont kick anything
big pull no interrupt im dpsing >:C!!
DDR skills engage
Yea inspiring horsies inspired my group to disband
dude ive gone into gambits
lmao
And my healer to go to sleep
telling my team you need to kick the bolts
and at the end of the first area like 2 kicks have gone out
warlocks kicking things is the rarest
Have you tried kicking in a robe?
its hard to be fair
Like they can't even get shin high
they have to have fel hound which is a a pretty weak DPS pet far as i've ever heard
pet dps means actually nothing in huge aoe
best non CD clearly imp and the charge guy
main reason to use fel gaurd, 1, he is large red and chargey boy, 2 he become a beyblade, 3 hes a #1 stunna with his hammer whatever stun thing whch is great yay more storm bolt
Why would I kick if the tank can tank it and the healer can heal it 😈
beyblade pet does really good dmg in dungeons last i checked
thats only for demo i think
Ye
Mekacycle shield or normal shield? Anyone break it down for me
Meka proc is smol absorb and smol pp, and the damage doesnt happen if smol absorb is fully eaten. Ebecause its so smol, an equal ilvl statted shield is better
If your highest ilvl shield is mekka, use that cuz ilvl is big on a shield
Remember everyone, you can’t do upper Kara unless you’re a blood dk
Any other tanks you might as well not even try
i tried to do a 2 but the damage was magic so maybe better luck next time
but as warriors we can spell reflect shit and do big dmg @undone verge 😦 i wanna do big dmg
Doesn’t matter cause bdks are the only people who can tank bosses. Us prot warriors will just get one shot by everything
The sad truth is
At the point where pwar is better than BDK in upper you've depleted to a boss already
Why invite a warrior when you have 60 DK sign ups
In high keys
a dps warrior can spell reflect too in upper
spell reflect is nice but not something that will make you mandatory lol
Oh to be mandatory, the unobtainable dream
on The eye it used to reflect the dmg they nerfed it when warrior get fun with spell reflect blizz hit it hard
and you can on skolex but normal difficulty... which is like the training school 😦
that 2 minute cd spell block DF beta could be changed to mishappen mirror legendary, or; reflects AOE 3 ticks if you choose it.
Doubt it
not ontop of, but replacement to, if spell block doesn't end up being good.
It's already niche
You're not gonna play it very often
You'll use it like shieldwall, but exclusively for magic busters
Or in big caster mob pulls
Pull after the first boss of sanguine depths
im not going to ask any more right now about DF beta in this channel, but what happens if you try to hit 2 buttons same time, and say, one has 2 seconds cd, and other has 4 seconds cd.
what occurs then? attempts to cast both on repeat or just the last
1 button is already pressed first
You can't press 2 at the exact same millisecond
Especially if you have say a macro
/cast Shield slam
/cast revenge
It'll always send SS first
Cuz it's higher
that would be extremely broken and litterally play the game itself if u could cast 2 or 3 abilities on repeat just by hold them down
Doubt they'll enable more than 1 button being able to be held
my thoughts are that it should be limited to say, 3 - 5 repeats before you have to press again, say your just spamming filler spell, or combo point adder for rogue
i can't see a world where you'd be down more than 5 GCD's but your still able to attack.
Frost mage?
Destro lock
Boomkin
Amazing specs to utilize the new hold down thingy
im not sure which key your thinking about
UK
so, you guys said i just walk dead center even as tauren
for 2 robots, i attempted this 3-4, times,at least, and it failed, 3-4 times at least
Probably just doing it wrong. I've grouped with tauren that did it fine.
Or you just take some savory deviate delight to minimize your hitbox
Worgen are nearly as large and I do it fine
And that's during banner, and Ava
Like, I get clipped onto doorways between the alarm bot maze in Workshop
United kingdom keystone HOLY SHIT??!!!
I actually missread and thought u were shitposting
I call it "meh go other key"
Same for GD which is either SD2/train for me
@sick sentinel no idea if pastebin works, but I've had spotty work with it in the past
That's the string for MDT
is there a way to track when shade will cast piercing missiles?
Look at the cast bar
He just casts random shit which is why he's so dangerous
well ya but i was wondering if you can track it to precast cuz ive noticed the casts stops completely if you pre do it
I feel like they normalized it. The last two times I did it, he did winter > bird > wreath
Maybe I'm 
nothing you can doabout the blood soak vampire eh? zulgamux
he drains whole team and sucks to fight
Skip him
uppper i think his the key with the least amount of trash to % ratrio
cause of chess event taking forever and giving 8%ish
I feel like im getting shredded to piercing missiles, any tips? my trinkets def aren't the best for it, running ows and Soleah's but i tried a 25 and that shit melted me
Sr last tick to avoid debuff
Don't be bad and SR the claw before they are about to use their AOE MS so that the dot cleaves through the barrier.
IP and SR last tick yup
It's not that hard. If I can do it on a 25 UK you can do it at 14. Your healers just need to git gud and your DPS need to press defensives.
The biggest problem low keys have is holding coolies for nothing.
Nothing to really send not there anyways
You get everything back like twice before curator burn at minimum
But yeah, lining up your SR of the claw debuff on Zul is objectively one of the better things you can do for your team so the dot you're SRing does all the heavy lifting on the absorb.
Also press Shattering Throw.
pro tip, coolies is or was a racist term at one point pointed at asian people
Never heard of it
I mean fuck we're just full sending spam garbage for MDT
That has notes and everything.
i dunno how to send it as a small link
Link the wagio page
scrub question but how do you guys manag ignore pain. Ive had stoped using my warrior just before keys became a thing so im relearning alot lol, Wondering if now with the buff its my prio 100 percent or if im trying to shield block blockable mobs and pain the rest,
The buff changed nothing
You use SB to mitigate
Revenge to dump and reset SS
IP to prevent rage over capping
so its mainly for a rage dump then
Yea
okay cool im used to using shield block for most mobs spell reflect to help with magic damage when needed so i expect besisded rage over cap itll help with the magic side of damage then
Youll notice during last stand youll press IP a lot
hey guys, is it possible to track banner's uptime on allies?
looking at a log and it looks extremely low, not sure why
its supposed to be low
its not
yes
I see, ty
yes the mastery bonus does not extend
It's a rage dump and a banner pad tbh
Just smashing Rev over IP will expire your banner so fast.
You should also be gunning for 25s+ banner at the open with LS
28s+ if you have a lust open
Bit of a weird one, but i have a question to ya'll. What's the one thing, one piece of wisdom you would want to share with newer players picking up tanking and picking up Prot warrior in these chaotic times? An advise or just a msg for new guys 😄
the best way to learn to tank is to go and tank
anything else you can just ask about in (most) class discords
“Ignore pain uptime” isn’t a thing
IS Seismic reverberations still decent or am I tripping on some old meta shit?
(M+ only)
i think it's still really good for damage but you will die if you try doing anything above like a 20 with it
it'll be harder to keep banner up too
Hmmm... Reprisal then?
Reprisal is obviously great quality of life, I just feel like it's kind of boring
reprisal+necro is go to for overall tankiness and rage generation
Reprisal specifically plugs the gaps in shield block and mitigation that Prot Warrior can run into without it
way better than all other options
It's pretty much a band-aid to the issue with Prot War mitigation in comparison to other tanks
The free revenge proc and rage is just a bonus on the top that we can use to a hell of an extent
its only 15 secs
@potent anvil @shut summit hi friends, I hope you're having a pleasant day today.



is fusion hacker good?
good in single target, worse than other 304 weps in aoe
reprisal is many things
but calling it "boring" is a wild take
when you're comparing it to "extra rage on shield slam" and "revenge does more damage"
its literally the least boring leggo
reprisal is impacting your decisions and gameplay literally every single second of every encounter
there is such an urge in me to challenge that statement on technicalities even if i agree with the sentiment
I'll never be happy, but I can accept this from the section of my soul that's an ass-goblin like all technicality seekers
average leaper enjoyer 
is salvaged meckacycle shielding good?
wearable but not good. use if highest ilvl shield
alright. currently my tied with my highest ilvl shield. is the effect better than stats for tankng?
tisnt. its smol absorb and smol pp and if the smol absorb is fully eaten then the damage event doesnt happen
ty
@random pebble
When should I start taking the merits?
I feel like there’s nothing for me to upgrade this week out of my chest
Might be blasphemy to say here, but warrior has 2 other specs
I'm done with Prot specific gear as far a weapon, shieldz and trinkets go.
Got a Gavel already. Would love a Jaithys to play around in fury.
Oh, I opened the chest already
But it’s all lover ilvl stuff or stuff I have legendaries on
I might get the boots but I haven’t done anything for arms or fury yet
never a bad time for sockets, you get 2 per vault this season
I’ll go with that then
I mean my first vault this season ended up being sockets. It's less a point you start and more just a thing that just happens when you get a bad roll
Hi ! Can someone explain me why we have to tank the 3rd boss of Upper in the corner ? Pls

Jakey.,
Carry my paladin.

I don't have a key, i don't have gear, but i have a positive attitude!
i thought flames was doing it?
No, @wild rampart is too busy to care about me.
well 6ST im free i guess

but i have a ZA run on wrath to do later
well its pre patch but ZA still gives gear for plebs like me

get that sick prepatch plate armor set
in 1 hour bud, I start my charity key runs for disenfranchised TCs
Where full brutal
Is there a recommended leggo for people who don't want to use reprisal in M+?
no because nothing is close to rep in any content
darn
u can use the wall but u loose a shit tone even and have to run different talents which means u loose even more
id recommend shadowmourne cus if ur not gonna play reprisal you might as well play classic
Ran into an issue last night where on multiple charge attempts I would get spun around facing the party rather than the direction I was originally facing. Anybody have any ideas I've always had this happen from time to time over the years but it was consistently happening last night.
There was a hunter in the midsirecting to me and I'm wondering if hes misdirecting and hitting the mobs as I'm charging could I be clipping through them because of it
Are you sure you don’t just have a mouse over macro that binds both charge and the ally one and you were hovering on a team member
I do that shit all the time
Intercept
No I haven't started working mouse over macros and yet that's gonna start in the next couple of weeks for myself once I get my rotation down a little bit better. I've been away from taking for a few years taking it easy as ABM hunter
I'm not charging back or anything I'm just facing the wrong direction and what I'm trying to grab and go with mobs sometimes I've run them at the party
I got a question with shield slam. Its about the damage Output. The hits are starting at 10-12 k ne going up to 50 k non crit, crits are even higher.
I Wang to understand how its damage is ampliefied outside of avatar and shield block uptime
Can some1 help ne?
Outbursts?
It makes it do 200% more rage gen and damage, so 3 times as much
if i'm understanding your question right
Afking av is not exactly pvp
yer cba even doing that
Hello everyone ! I am new to prot warrior coming from prot pally. I see a lot of prot warrior playing with mecagone rings, why not a hast versa ring ?
Because mechagon rings give you over 100 stats for free with almost 100% uptime
If you use the 3 abilities + haste set
And this is worth 0 versa on rings?
versa is kinda over rated and stinky
yogi with the correct take 
It is not our best defensiv stats?
No
you just get so much more out of haste
your amount of vers is irrelevant
i do 29s with 14% vers
ilvl (if it has mainstat) > haste > crit until ~250-300 > vers
for defensive value
people telling you "you need to equip more versa" especially if its like, your GM who is "your friend", are wrong
source, i lived this in bfa, counter, i was and am still bad
yes but my friends a DK shadow and healer cody, hardcore arena andies
"you need more versatility" every day im not sure how they came to the conclusion besides MDI does it and i guess bfa arenas unlocked tons of versa gear which is good in pvp
It's because it's the only stat that says it reduces damage.
it makes sense......in a vacuumm like that sucking void between the ears of these MDI fotm following masses
Daily reminder prot warriors will instantly die if there is magic damage
how do i need a daily reminder of this if i play pwar daily >.>
its not all stats reduce damage actually
haste through more rage and CDR
crit u parry with
which flat stops damage
and mastery means u block more damage rng but still a damage reduction
He means it's the only one with the words Dr in it
We're talking overall, all stats reduce the total amount of damage you take over time, also mastery buffs AP which is IP
Yeah what bull said
It on the box
well sure its in the writing but im still sure if u hover over crit and mastery it mentions those things
maybe its an addon doing it for me
You expect fotm people to understand stuff like parry and block
well if you have to ask about vers rings your not going to understand anything and need a major change in your approach to the game
we've only managed yogi this expansion

thats 1 over 2 years
i don't play dk, so i don't knowfor sure that it works this way, but, i think if u hav more versa as DK, and you hit deathstrike, deathstrike hits for more, so you heal for more
maybe its you take increased healing from other players... i remember arguing with them about this though and versa
Dks want haste crit anyways
this was all the wayback in BFA
am i really this much dis-coherent when speaking to you guys alot of the time?
i think what had happened was we wanted to do or had done a key, and it probably failed at some point so we were likely discussing strategies.

I find if your group thinks talking secondaries is talking strategy, secondaries aren't the reason you didn't time the key
No shots at semantics, but it's really rare having 2% more passive dr is the reason you couldn't live through 14 unlicked necrotic bolts
Tertiaries however 
Like stats, it can be reliably said, will never be the reason why a key fails.
No discussion to be had, speed is king NYOOOOOM
Hunter didnt have the 20% avoid required for Xav pre-nerf gg. 
#makesoargreatagain
at best i do like 17's lol i did 2 17's on time
I dont know
i did 17 TOP and i did uh one of the new ones.... cant recall
work shop
workshop with a half way competent group is so free its silly
tyranical workshop though... 3rd and finalboss... phew....
Wishlist for DF - no more tyran/fort
remove grevious
Also just have all affixes active at +2 so people can learn the dungeons properly
we've come a long way in 1 year
wishlist for DF is 19 friends 😦

grevious is a tank and healer heart attack agitator
what do you need me and 19 more friends for?
to play wow
we going 21 man
basically my party in wow, regardless irl friend id, guild or unknown...
didn't know you needed to mythic raid to play wow xD
is there any wa to learn about good casts/things to reflect while in a dungeon?
not just random bolts i mean
if you check pins
that would help
i can't cite exactly why they don't want me using WA for reflect
but i have used a WA for reflect in th past
i know but i wanted to know if there's a WA so i can see it while fighting mobs
there's also a reflectable list in the pins top right push pin icon, likely with a red dot for you haven't read these
no such thing
good to know
wow is absurdly boring in Heroic
M+ is only good if the dungeons are good
dungeons are shit rn
And I'm having a blast
i'll bite on this one, i did have a WA for S3 that had a bar that would turn red or green, and if it was green, you were safe to activate spell reflect
it did work for me well, terms of reflecting more crap
well, yes, but its not like the dungeon abilities changed until s4
but we are in S4 rn
that could be a good one. but i usually track target of mobs by their plater so i probably wont need that wa i think
i hear you, i just am not aware of a WA that does the samething, and im not sure how hard it would be to attempt to tell it to go off the new reflect list - to cro
btw do u guys macro avatar and banner?
no, because you just send avatar on CD anyways
I have the 262 Crafted Ring with haste/vers. Just dropped a Big Ring from Heroic with Mastery/crit. Should I still swap even though theres no Primary stat on rings?
I will lose 6% haste, but I had 41% anyways
prob a few hours of work
send avatar on CD provided you wont overwrite an outburst. youre gonna have to hold it sometimes
go with the higher ilvl ring until you can get your hands on mechagon rings. the passive from those is really good for us
if only we were so lucky, it would be just swapping spell ID's
you can drop like 10 ilvls on rings for stats but it sounds like you have a bigger upgrade than that
Yea its the Rygleon RIng
yeah ideally you want the 3 abilities+haste mechagon set
i got some ugly versa mastery ring or some shit
thank you
Not anymore.
IP is based on HP.
That's why it can spike caps upto like... 60K+ with LS going.
Oh wait
casts are still AP-based.
yeah
casts are AP(vers/mastery) while caps are %ap
so you can definitely overcap in 1.4 ish casts
👏 Overcapping 👏 IP 👏 Does 👏 Not 👏 Matter 👏
feels good
GRATS!!! :/
congrats on the 34 gold
if i have a 304 codex in vault im taking it no questions asked
all 3 are upgrade
don't have a valor weapon yet
only one of those cant be valor'd
I would do helm and catalyze yeah
neck wrists both rings one trinket is valorable
up to 994
cuz, blizzard say fuckyou
didnt get 1k for 1 more
I hope a 304 shield is in mine, or a 304 2h weapon for pve/p usage
Never forget
Nooooo don’t do it
Whatchu got
All boots? Lol
well, whats theendthing they have
Oof. To the sim!
bit bands are "of the bear"
Socket, but remember you can socket the 304
ftl
you can socket later
i never ever take the socket optino FWIW
Tell me you didn't take that
What are you other options? I'd take the 304 if nothing else is huge and plan on socketting it asap.
should sim but i think 2 sockets are better
even if you do socket the 304 down the road
yeah im just worried i wont get a 304 version again
304 vs 298 aint the end of the world on a ring
its pretty minor
true
like it's an immediate stat loss cause of socket and only +9 after socket
2 sockets now are easy +32
Long term take the 304 ring
also 3rd fated sepulcher in a row i get decanter lmao
which i already have, granted lfr version
or is it 2nd? idk
Is choker of the barbed reins worth taking at 304? I'm currently using a 278 gambit neck (the haste vers one)
the effect is horrible if thats what youre curious about
effect is bad and the stats are pretty dog compared to the gambit one imo
yeah
its probably an immediate upgrade cause more stats>better stats but still wouldnt take it
