ofc
what is it
a proximity hit
if you are talking about an actual key
where they oneshot you
you have the wrong dps if they die in your group
like i tank them on my ww up to 26 27
that's crazy
Are you talking about the trash at the start of grimrail?
and furthermore muyu iirc its a frontal cone in which they hit your friends
so i dont see a world where YOU are not able to charge
yes the overseer
@sick sentinel my preferred group comp is 2 mele (me +dps), and 2 ranged dps.
I agree with you on hero, and I also agree that good ilvl or io lock is an instant invite
For ranged I like mage lock, mage hunter, or hunter mage. Not a lot of ranged hunters tho in m+, they are all mele
I like mage hunter for the interrupts, and the dk has good interrupts.
I'm not really a fan of most dh players. For every good one I've seen in my pug life, I've probably seen 2 bad ones. I don't like to bring a dh to upper kara
For non pug I bring the player, yes
For pug life, and not knowing the player I bring class or spec
Especially in pugs lol
I do agree with you, player >class and spec
However without knowing the players that makes it hard
Lmao
Seen that shit too. 2k or 2200 plus io, good ilvl player basically give a Grey parse
Like. Holy shit man carry much?
Pug life isn't always bad. But when it is, boy is it bad
Also for what keys are we talking about?
its a complete gamble tbh in those keys
Then the Logic you apply wont work
u can literally meet ppl who are in that dungeon for the first time
16 to 19 isn't bad. Sub 15 is bad. Sub 10 is, well it's quite an experience
The amount of work to tell if one player is better than another is way too much than just seeing Good Class + Big number
no other explanation
Run enough pugs and you'll see it. People thst don't interrupt. Lust classes that don't lust. All of it
Off meta player with decent score>meta dummy with average score
i personally look a lot at total keys played also
Mechanics? What arethose?
Same
While not 100 percent, nothing pugging is 100 percent, I'm mor likely to invite someone with lots of timed runs over someone that isn't.
Not all the time tho. When I really want to get time and push my io, yea
It usually the same either way
Sometimes I am a compassionate tank God and will run a group of low timed runs or low io. I like to think I'm helping newer players get in
Not really
Would you rather take a 304 hunter with 2900 score, or a 304 Druid with 2900 score
Druid
Especially if feral
I haven't seen many cats this season
The one I saw a couple weeks ago pumped really good. Ferals seem rare outside of guardian
My philosophy after I have lust covered, is take people who have timed the key on a close level
Sometimes I just drum tbh if necessary
But raiderio “best for” is your best friend
Idk, like I'm doing 27-29's on both my Monk and my DK, and my DK has like 0 gear where my monk is fill bis with a bunch of leech and avoidance, and the amount of work and effort to do the keys is night and day
I think my mage gets m+ invites just for heroism sometimes lol
Dk easier, or the monk?
Before you answer I'm gonna guess the dk
Dk
Monk tanks are hit and miss in my experience.
They are either gods that can't die, or go splat every pull
It's odd to see such a wide gap
Well it's just effort and button management
Tbh I don't know shit about monks. Monk healers I've ran across have all been really good. I made a monk to try it out and kinda enjoyed healing leveling dungeons with him
But I dunno, the class is weird to me
And that guy is doing 16-19
Where spec doesnt matter
I could say the same about 27's considering the way im Timing them

It doesn't, but its about availability. You post a 18 key, and you'll get 50 applicants. And you just select big ilvl and big score and big class
What healers do you guys like to run wjth the most? I run with a holy priest almost daily and we do good work together
Plus, the priest War combo is the og combo
When my group was running 2 ele Shamans, we tried to pug a healer for a 26 lower. We went through 6 before one stayed after seeing the comp
A healer that presses buttons
Lmao
Quite a few times in pugs I've disagreed with the comp, I'm not the type of player that will bitch about someone else's key comp. Sometimes it fails, and then ofc sometimes it goes quite well
Stupid players are stupid
Yea we've only done two weeks of keys, so we're just learning what stuff will just 100-0
Like the 28 ID we did where our monk just go flung hammered for 101% of his hp
Thats why you dont run with inferior roles
It's always fun to be standing around, minding your own business when some asshole throws an axe at you and sends you to the gy
That die to nothing
My favorite when I was told I needed to be 265+ to tank a 12 otherwise we would be wiping over and over
I saw a dude with 2.9k io listing an 11 last night that said "checking io"
Made me chuckle. Just say "bonus Valor" my man
The shit you see for gatekeeping in lfg is wild. People expecting highly geared and experienced players to carry them. Nothing wrong with it I guess, most people will probably be carried through something zt some point. But damn
Players In the 9-14 range are some of the worst
I agree with that
I expect the really low key runners go not be fully prepared (invis pots is a big one). I expect players thst run where I'm at, between 16 and 19 to be prepared and be a bit more serious about what we are doing
Yes, it's a game. But you know, winning is fun.
The most I can usually run is my healer buddy and sometimes 1 or 2 dps we know
Outside of that I usually have to pug my dps
mage is also insane value because innate greater inivisibility + ice block to all specs + stuff like spell steal, they have bad interupt in that its very long, so can't be relied on heavily
well, what does arms /fury warrior do in a key for us?? ... oh wait...
I can't wait for the boss you can't beat without a poison/disease dispel
In dragonflight
Lol
dps monk, i'm not sure that they give anything besides a buff and like maybe ring of peace
You mean how people still manage to do pf without that?
No it's like, the boss one shots you if you get 10 stacks
And you get 1 stack per auto
And there comes from?
so, other arms warrior and DH, dps monk i tend to pass on first
There is nothing like that
The frog boss
i still haven't gotten the solo PF mount
What frog?
I bring dps warriors for pure dps push. Unfortunately our dps spec doesn't bring much for the group. Hp shout bit does that really count?
the majority of players i see yelling at me to "hold more aggro betterer" is other warriors mostly
There is no frog boss in s4
imma go solo that PF mount now
Get it!

Dragonflight
I know I submitted feedback to make it just a magic dispel or something
And this is why the best tank race is dwarf!
does salvaged fuse amp work on prot?
Why wouldnt it
Hey quick question… ive seen some war doing spell reflect when going up the tower on last boss of JY! Every time i try it, it stunt me and port me back? Am i doing it right?
i think it only works on the spinning beam and bots
Can just leap after the stun field goes off and that skips most of that part anyway
didnt know if revenge would proc it
use leap to get back down 
everything in this game procs it
if i want to Play The Wall wich Talents i should choose?
same talents
and change conduits?
ok cool. thought i read somewhere that SFA didnt work on revenge
as a new prot player myself, why would you run that? im asking cuz reprisal seems weird at first glance
reprisal 😢
same conduits
i don´t like the charge/intervane
we only got 2 months anyways
and with The wall it´s for me Tankier
My friend, charge is the center of our tool kit
And probably one of our most important abilities
yeah but it feels for me like a pinball with the wall it´s tankier for me
Intervene has a weird place and is kinda useless outside of reprisal. It's more of a pvp ability imo. But charge is a center peice
I'm not gatekeeping or bashing you, but if you don't like charge may I suggest a dk or paladin
tbf we are done with reprisal in like 3 months
If you're gonna try to push deep into m+ before prepatch run reprisal on feet. If you're just having fun doing your own thing, do what ya want!
It's the end. It doesn't truly matter
mimic i am old school warrior i don´t say i don´t like charge only repisal becouse it´s feel i am a pinball
i wont be doing m+ at all as prot but i will be heroic/normal raiding so im assuming reprisal still takes a clear lead
My warrior was made during vanilla, before wsg was added in. I'm right there with ya
look at these boomers
lol
im brand new to prot and honestly i fell in love, i was a prot pally and found my way to the light
or out of the light
THE problem w/ the wall ist hat even if you just charge to start the fight and then intervene a melee on cd
reprisal is still more efficient
in keys**
yes thats right but i don´t like meeles
a WL/Fire mage bring more dps as a Warrior/rouge^^
you dont have to ping pong wolth you can intervene ur co tank in raid after you swap
yeah but then u have to play with a wl or a fire mage'
and most rnd dps warrior charge bladestorm death
so it all balances out
so why choose a IQ low class if i get PPL with Int

in my Grp i have Holy Priest WL/Firemage
how do u kick things my god
And if i do sheep something every time i must sent the dps warrior out of the room^^
Hey hey hey. Just because I get hit in the head a lot and don't have any int doesn't mean I'm low iq!
ask Balow^^
Shared Suffering...can someone give me a quick tutorial on this solo soak please?
I believe he re casts it once
So one intervene, one heroic leap
This is in lieu of having a immune soaker, or if it is a lower key having a 3-4man soak with light defensives
If you find yourself soaking in tyrannical you gotta pop everything
PS. Make sure you are avoiding the mortal strikes because they 1/2 your hp which makes soaking a lot more difficult
But like, how many can a Prot Warrior actually solo soak? I feel like 2 max and then, depending on key not even 2?
hello again, is there no zulga in iron dock?
im looking at MDT and not able to see it
i just kill demon vampires that get in the way... they have more features of demons than vampires i figure
You should be able to intervene+heroic leap each time I’m pretty sure there’s more than 45 sec between the casts
But that is a theory craft
He keeps recasting now though, correct?
I think he only recasts once
Recast is fake cuz phase unless ms then weird shit happens, just dodge until sub 20 then soak with immune or sac a player
Yes there is he’s in the right pack before the first boss
So you keep running out over and over until horseman is under 20% hp?
Well its just one intervene per phase on this class
Or leap
hey guys new to warrior, maybe a stupid question but can heroic leap be used to jump over mechanics like painsmith balls and wall of rats in upper
You can normal jump over the rats
Painsmith apparently requires a pixel perfect jump basically
Painsmith should just be regular jump then leap at peak of jump
i didnt see him on mdt
He’s there
In the second “square” area you go into at the start
He’s in the right pack
The one the battle master is patrolling around
Does anyone know, what my Vers. should be at tanking? I am going to start pushing 20+ keys and I am wondering.
doesnt matter
More than 0 less than 1 million
get ilvl above anything
if you really want to look at a secondary, we prefer haste. but they really dont matter that much
if you just use whatever highest ilvl you have thats best
Vers stacking 
@silver merlin
thank you.
Your survivability pretty much always comes from your play rather than gear. You'd only ever think about Vers once you start getting one-shot by unavoidable damage.
It'll be a bit before you hit that breakpoint as a tank.
that will happen in 40's
does someone have a bodyguard WA that shows me the uptime or when the buff just gets outranged
?
not off hand but you might be able to download someone elses profile and just take the bit you need, i don't like pvp much
and the push continues
for being back in the game for 5 weeks, i'm somewhat happy with that so far
That’s about where I’m at Rn
Just below the 20s
I was so ready to time all 20s this season then they threw 6 (new to me) dungeons at us
getting into 20, for me is gonna be a challenge. id rather have a solid group to run with on the reg
Yeah I timed a few with pugs, puging 20s is really a lick of the draw with your teammates.
theres that, and when i mess up, id rather not have pug rage lol
doesn't really help to figure out what went wrong
i had some kind of problem with the stars part iron docks
this is the route im given, exceept for that i pulled the vampire at the cursor there, and im not sure if you're suppposed to pull different there because of bolster, but i think they 1 shot
and so, because bolster fort, i have to pull like it shows on map i guess?
for bottom half of what im showing
your cursor isn't showing
and i don't know what "they 1 shot" means
or how bolster is relevant
everything dies to the star
do vampires get bolstered?
cuz im not sure if they 1 shot 100% of the time, if they 100% to 0% 1 hit, GG no problem
just, have to kite that case for 20 seconds
so you're just asking if the stars one shot?
i still don't understand your question
im asking how to pull the bottom half of the area that i'm showing here
if there is something specific i gotta do and if it one shots
if you're not sure how to pull stars i'd advise just watching someone do the key as tank
can't really explain it
just pull the mobs and group and wait for someone to drop star on them
im not sure how it happend, but someone in the group before boss one was complaining at a group mate that "the tank is out damaging you" no idea if that played a factor
Hey all, new to prot here, what's the haste cap for prot?
through stats like OWS trinket effect, or on gear, 40% is where some of us stop actively going for it
but doesn't matter
through % gain m+ lust/hero, infinity
Dually noted
youre remembering to spell reflect vampiric strike ya
So, it just so happens that the group I'm currently running M+ with has chosen an all melee comp. I know that this is an awful fucking decision but it is what it is. You guys think that Into the Fray might outweigh Ravager since I'll be getting the 10% haste at all times?
Probably not. ITF counts enemies and allies, doesn't matter which. If it was better we would be using it regardless of comp I would think.

ty for the answer
Oh I didn't even realize it read as enemies as well
I'm dumb lol. Thanks again
You aren't dumb lol. You just missed part of a tooltip. For the record I HATE Ravager and would love to drop it myself.
Not a fan of it either, unfortunately. Hoping that with tuning we won't end up running it in DF
🤞
I don't like the Area Effect reticle on Warrior for Spear and Ravager (assuming both used in DF). Like, I'll play my Elemental Shaman if I want to be doing that all the time. Just isn't Warrior imo.
Yep, feels like it ruins the flow of Warrior. I played Arms in 9.0 where you ran Ravager with Condemn and it felt bad there too
But now Arms runs Spear anyways too 
Works for Ravager yeah, I just don't like it with Spear cause you have to be much more precise
yeah i hate spear
I'll probably set it up for Ravager, just getting into Prot yesterday for the first time since Legion
The @player macro solves all my problems
At cursor could also work
my main wish about ravager is that it no longer goes on the fucking ceiling 40 feet up in the air on on a chandaleier, or on a piece of wood jutting out from a building etc, thats more frustrating than just about anything to me
Cursor diff
just macro to drop at your feet - charge in, 1 or 2 abilities, then slap down spear. everything is grouped. ta da
I'd have to 2 buttons for spear
Sometimes you're kiting
casting it on feet is fine for ravager for spear is too small radius
How important is the race of a dwarf if I'm going to play max 20-25 keys? Is their racial ability worth it?
Better than many alternatives, not absolutely required
If you think they look cute in your favorite transmog go for it
The biggest use of dwarf racial is against the carrion swarm of the infiltrators
if you get hit by it
There are barely any relevant dots in the current dungeon pool
So it's not at all relevant for pushing keys these days
nothing a cleanse can't fix in most cases
dark iron has an argument with curses being harder to remove and you get str, so more dps. you also move slightly faster indoors which is 100% of karazan
(For tanks)
It’s pretty huge for dps/healers in certain dungeons
okay, i want to go over this just so i understand the role that i am going to play for these stars after first boss iron dock,
and so this part is listed as3 pulls, which i'd assume you do 3 seperate
and that would be how you would handle it because fort or bolster or something
what a waste. each star can kill 15 things
yogi
fort and bolster has nothing to do with it
just like i told you yesterday
just pull the stuff listed in each pull
hold it still for the star
then do the next one
like i told you yesterday
like
just watch a video
or do it yourself
this is not something that can be explained through text
If you follow that black line trying to grab adds you are going to have a very bad time on the first pull, just grab the 3 giants and don't worry about anything else as the star will get them
What you have there is decent with pugs if you don't have a hunter
He isnt doing keys where hunters know WTF to do
did it on a 15 RN, we beat the timer, i died to a bunch of stuff, bring a warlock for cookies, never pick up or use any cookies., we used hell out of brez though
Wait, people really engage mobs other than the three giants? I line those up for the big wheel and then DPS just waits for the others to pat into line
what did you learn from floorpov?
bres is a resource meant to be used
is that some youtuber guy?
Any tips for dealing with a first solo pull in workshop tried it earlier got smashed. I understand that you have to kite them into the explosions but i started running into trouble before they died
green oozes that die on death? i mean,that too, but explode rather
if thats the pull, group them all beside pillar and go around before they canexplode, or use CD and or get external CD
very start of dungeon solo tricku mean?
Yeah thay one haha
i dunno about that one srry
nothing special to do really, use sw, sr etc, kick the detonates
those green guys i just talked about hurt this week, or i'm imagining so at the least
bout to find out 16 workshop, never junkyard
This works on any tank.
One thing I didn't mention is that if you trust them, you can have a dps pop an immunity and sit under the mobs when they do this as well. This guarantees that 100% of the rockets will land on the mobs, but obviously wastes a CD and incurs the risk that your dps will screw up.
i'm pretty sure yogi is talking about something else
yeah, i don't do the first pack solo so i have literally nothing to add on that conversation
Thank you. That is literaly perfect sounds like i have people getting too close as rockets were going off all over and thing got down to about half health. Ill be more comunicative on the next pull.
one think to be careful of
is that if the dreadlord dies
and it spawns the broker
that broker can be targeted by rockets
:))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Okay so i would stand on him as bestbas possible
I hate that they target Kevin.
Having to tank on Kevin can be annoying if you forget and the little jammy bastard takes no damage
u can click it off. i just tried, i bet u could macro /cast banner /cancelaura kevin, for niche moments like that
Why are you wasting banner on that
I dunno shit hurts sometimes and if I’m not trolling I can keep it up into boss
It’s probably not worth though
Good thing I haven’t logged on in a month

it seems like too much risk for menial reward to me but to each their own
cro
if you send in 1 cop into the drug den alone, is that moredangerous than sending in 5
Is the cop undercover
i mean, i heard plenty of stories about ppl making meth in trailer/house and blowing up
that counts as egineer bomb i think
herbailism to be sure
Good ol’ moonshining 
hey guys working on prot warrior - wondering if there any good in PVP or should i try out the other 2 specs
I know rextroy had an OP Prot and Unholy 2s build, but idk much other than that
Not anymore.
They nerfed it into the ground. Tier does 25% of its PVE values.
It still slaps, but nowhere near as hard.
You gotta actually play to get frags.
It's great with rot comps, though, because you can glue hard to people and your damage is deceptively high
Specifically 3s
Sham/druid + spriest + pwarr is sleeper
Definitely not like a new worlds meta, but it can get glad
Arms is generally the pvp spec. Tanks in general are not pvp viable outside of wacky tuning, meme strats, and battlegrounds(where vengeance is usually prefered)
thats only for FC or base defending
knew what?
i know everything about everything
zero
doesn't matter at all, choose one that you like honestly
dwarf is probably the best but it doesnt really matter until youre at the 30 keys
i'd like to back that up but also add dark iron for if you want to be more dps increase than tank
cuz reg dwarf has a dmg DR which is good
reg dwarf is also more dmg than DI
cow for cow stomp is good. ummm like, its very hard to go with one race over another
there is no clear winner
regular dwarf is more dps than dark iron? i don't see how if you literally get +str instead of +dps, dwarf has something about criticl
see, i think that stoneform is better for like, a monk, or a DK, or something like that
since we already mitigate massive amounts of phys anyways
Cow stomp for mass interupt is smt i use several times per dungeon.
So the other day I was told despite stat prio being something like Haste > Vers > Crit > Mast you do want some of the worse stats and not all in on haste and vers but how much exactly? whats a good rule
How much should leech be taken into consideration vs ilvl? I have 304 main hand, but also a 298 with leech for example. I also have hc 291 cloak and belt with leech. Should I work on replacing those pieces asap, or is the leech worth 7 ilvls vs m+ gear fully upgraded 298?
replace them. ilvl/strength > tertiaries
Thats what most m+ pushers go for
you could sim them for dps value
leech is worthless in terms of your decision making for gear
you're happy its there
but you should basically ignore it
7 ilvl isnt huge, and depends on how much leech you already have and how much value you get from it in m+ for example
7 ilvl isn't huge
Well you'd never ever ever drop ilvl on a weapon
but it's more than leech
and yeah the idea of dropping weapon ilvl for any stat, let alone a tertiary
is insane
wep is also the lowest amount of stats from any piece of gear
just sim it and do whatever that tells you
Wep is what decides your dmg
So no point simming it
Ilvl upgrade on weapon will always win
same logic for defensive value withshield
oh crap no my key went up to 18 GD, this will not end well
gd is easy
never drop ilvl on weap or shield
for the cloak you could decide based on how much leech you have on other pieces and the cloaks stats
if it's your only piece of leech, it's w/e
shouldnt take it probably

sorry friends if this gets repetitive but got LoD shield and sire wep what would you say is upgrade prio (upto 311), feels like this late into patch and soon DF wep is better for lvling ? or how is the state of beta leveling ?
nothing really hits that hard imo 😦
Optimising gear for leveling is largely irrelevant as it'll get replaced at the latest after 8 levels by gear you get while leveling
But generally rygelon weapon and lod shield is what you want to upgrade yes. For leveling you'd want to prio weapon ofc
DID is more dps if you are casting fire blood on cd
else dwarf is more dps
285 scars vs 298 codex? dont really need survivability so im thinking why not take scars for primary + all stats + dmg
neither would 298 codex be surv
you actually lose surv lol
And comparing scars to codex should be a crime
Uh
It's 10% auto attack dmg, which prot generally doesn't care about
But you should look into getting other trinkets like rdm, aegis, ows, soleahs
To replace scars
What race do all of you play those who main prot. I know dwarf is technicaly the best but... Im an orc who might really be a tauren cause i have trouble seeing things.. what do you guys play
Orc
just preference really
no i know im asking more of a shoot the shit kinda question not a whats best
i have no preference outside of dwarf
if i can't be a dwart nothing else matters and i'll choose the role play element of what im trying to do,
i wouldn't make a male tauren priest for example
I think scars is a reasonable trinket for content you aren't taking huge damage on. The 'downsides' aren't huge, the dot is a joke (its like 50dtps as prot), the healing reduction is mostly outwighed by the vers gain, the slow is ignored by banner, and the damage echo isn't really noticable unless you are getting chunked really hard.
it's literally "keep a renew on me and i'm good" thing
interesting ive never tanked on smaller races but ive dpsed on them. Do you feel an advantage to the smaller fram. Sometimes with everything going on things can be hard to see. I imagine a tauren would block some but also youd never lose sight of him ina clutter
i play a female nightborne warrior, i don't struggle with visibility
but i think sometimes it helps your allies to be able to see the tank better which is where it's good to be big
i am glad i'm not a huge tauren or something in places like grimrail though
i think the image of a literal bull helps reinforce idea of tank orc the same, undead works sure, but it doesn't inspire the same confidence
Lol, tank raises shield, takes hit, arm falls off...damn corpse rot!
Offensively yes, defensively no
so in the end it's not worth to swap in place of the 239?
Defensively not
ok got it thanks
but it's still worth to buy old warrior soul in place of decanter yes?
Ofc
i wonder if at this point he should just take it for ilvl
yeah i equipped it
i'd do rdm + decanter in everything but massive keys
although get yourself that OWS
so, does hk8 start on gobbomak this week?
and are you guys opting to do trixe or gunker first
i'm pretty out of date but if i can do gunker first i usually do
it's been a while since i tanked junkyard, im supposed to get to orange pack when the partol goes betwen red and blue gears along this arrow? i think you have to like go in a little hole
stay to the left i think
Whats the cookie cutter Reprisal and unity stats? and can I just check that unity is ok on neck?
Haste/whatever you want really… probably haste/vers if you’re doing big content, haste/crib for damage
Crit
thanks
And yeah you just want both on the lowest budget slot available (assuming you’re getting better ilvl)
@worthy flicker 
@mortal brook 
i can get score from this key, i never ran a junk this season yet so
a bit above the arrow is a hole in the wall
you can easily pull the 3 pack out there, then play it outside so you dont accidentally pull the patrol
then go in, wait for patrol and play that
theres a small little alcove in that area once you get in, now that i went in to look at it solo
can just tank them all there
hey. I just resubbed and Im having some fun tanking. Im Kyrian, but I was wondering what Sould bind and Conduits to get / avoid?
Also what trinkets can I aim for from this rotation of dungeons?
(Obligatory play necorlord here)
Piercing verdict is good
Basically every other potency is not
Play Mikey with hammer of genesis and your choice between aj and sof
👍
Unnerving is also mandatory
The ip one is still trash
Safeguard and presence are the preferred util options
The rage gain during ls and sw cdr are preferred endurance
ones with str, theres OWS, RDM, and aegis from the dinar vendors
So nothing from M+ then? Im not sure if i will get many dinar
the one I see is 'Stun Grenade" its an onuse versitility
honestly I was thinking about this, would stun grenade be decent for KT if, and only if, you had it up for every execute phase
Stun grenade would be considered pretty ok if the raid trinkets weren’t bangers
shouldn't have bumped it down, damn, i went from 1596 to 1796 on this one key lol
Stun grenade is like a sigil sidegrade
So I just got scars to drop for the first time including 9.2. Is there a specific number of runes to go for here or do I just cycle and explode?
i have one, but i don't use it much
you cycle it continuously, but when the final rune expires it explodes so you want to delay it a little if you have to so it happens during aoe
what are we upgrading for the most dps in raid?
shield, weap, OWS, any other stuff I cant think off
weapon>trinkets
then main stat
Thanks.
is the dk mount going away tmr?
Question, I came back after a long break, I only do keystones with my warrior, what would be a good build for it? starting to tank +20s and soon getting higher. Should I use two offensive trinekts like Scars + OWS or at least one deffensive like Aegis or cheat death from KT?
You shouldn't NEED defensive trinkets on those key-levels but you can still use them.
OWS+Aegis is a solid combo.
What "build" do you mean?
Talent build?
With build I meant trinket wise, I dunno if I should change anything from the current setup that I have, 3 1 1 1 2 3 1 are my talents and mostly using haste+versa gear, reprisal leggo but I have awful trinkets, stun grenade + so'leah lol
#997237573514690620 , it's not "20s spell immune", just DR. It's not good overall- too long of a CD..just a very nieche tool. Could be handy in some encounters which overlap with the CD.
I do like that we have the POSSIBILITY to pick it if needed tho.
If you're running NL i'd say use BV instead of BSC.
OWS/Aegis/Matrix etc are all solid options for trinkets.
Don't overcomplicate it - trinkets won't make or break the key.
I was Kyrian* cuz last week was necrotic and forgot to swap back to NL so I stick with BSC until I change it back lol
but yeah I'm way too overthinking it, I dunno, I'm just scared to reach the point in which I would get oneshooted by something or not being able to last long on big pulls? Ignore my mumbling
Well I got my OWS upgrade and all that, I dunno if pick Aegis or Matrix next if only we could equip all of them at the same time lol
Those "one shot" situations are usually just poor play or DPS'ers missing interrupts. The 20 key area shouldn't be too punishing in these situations.
I was mostly refering to past experiences, haven't found something yet that would kill me with raw dmg to but I guess when I reach the 24~27keys I will try to be more cautious with what I will pull, haven't found a group, mostly been pugging all the way
are there training dummies in Maldraxus?
Yes.
Target Dummy Location WoW Shadowlands Maldraxxus video. Where is Target Dummy location? Target Dummy is located in Shadowlands Maldraxxus zone. You can use map and Target Dummy coordinates in this video to find location. All dummy inside the Necrolord covenant:
Raider's Training Dummy
Raider's Tanking Dummy
Healing dummy World of Warcraft Shadow...
hi one Question since raidbots revange and into the frey is better than Boomy voice and revanger. so why we play revanger and boomy voice?
or is that for more defense?
booming voice can make banner refreshing easier and its rage gain, mostly choice between BV BSC
i test also hectic add cleave

i tried both normal and hectic add cleav
Or other values
on both he told me that into the frey is stronger than revanger
so is revanger more defens ( becouse of more rage)
Ravager is better on aoe, and gets better the more targets there are
Booming voice is better on Single target and helps you manage banner uptime easier
BSC is more dmg in theory on aoe , but harder to play in practice, cuz banner is all that matters
Into the fray is played in raid cuz you can guarantee 5 stacks at all times when in m+ you cant
ok thx a lot for explain
So I got another dinar last night. Went to look at what to purchase. My m+ gear is all higher ilvl than anything the vender has for me. What do
I have the mech shield, the shield from the dinar vender is quite a few ilvl under my current
take a good trink
Was considering ows. I have an aegis already. Lucky from the vault iirc.
My other is rds
ows is good
The ows is a few ilvl over my rds, but with some Valor it won't be
Ows is bis
OWS ilvl is nearly irrelevant
I think, check bloodmallet
Thanks. I'll snag up ows and replace my rds with it and see how it goes
I like the aegis too much to swap it lol
What is rds?
OWS+rdm is insane
I actually went grenade for painsmith, first time I swapped off OWS
Reactive defense matrix
Er yeah I just realized I was typing the acronym wrong
1 mil dam and like 800k healing per run
Big ass derp derp
what is better Solea+OWS or Solea with Granate
solea is 304 ows on 298/granate even 298
Solea= codex?
Soleahs = soleahs
And ows+soleahs is better than grenade
So over the weekend running my arcane mage I ran across an orc thst had the aoe shield wall legendary
And I gotta say, it ain't half bad for m+ pug life
......
I don't think it did any saving of people. But it probably made the healers life easier at some parts
We timed, so it's whatever. But that's the first I've seen anyone using it
I also didn't check his performance stats via details to see his block uptime
I'm guessing it would be have been raited bad, or poor lol
i have no yet triedit
Seems cool from a dps point of view. Probably horrible in output tho
dammit i nerfed my keytoo much, its a 14 now lol
i member dragon soul tier set for warr
where that was the 4p effect
good times 
also the 2p was kinda cool ngl
we incarn now
Did it stack on revenge spam? Or reset at least?
dont actually remember i was like 12 at the time
also i think i played rogue and not warr that much

Hum thrash is a generator rev is spender
So you would have some downtime to generate for reven
twice more, into hell i go
if i can get a 15lower and time it, that gives me ksm ican break, otherwise just timeanything tomorrow >>> ksm
It's useless yeah, that guy's inting unless for some reason he's pushing 30s and they absolutely cannot survive certain mechs w/o it.
I was Prot Paladin back then and the tier was such incidental garbo.
Still cleared H DW long before the pre-patch, but holy fuck did we have garbage tier that raid.
I vaguely remember actually targeting the ret 2p for the DPS up but I'm probably misremembering.
I do remember not giving a shit about tier at all because the stats and itemization for the sake of CTC was horseshit.
And that brief, brief window that plate tanks used AGI peripherials.
Heyo, would you drop stats for leech? Like, my boots are currently haste/vers (lego), just got haste/mastery with leech.
Thinking of recrafting Unity on neck, reprisal on legs.
where crit
i had a shitty vault that made me recraft reprisal boots into legs
Nah not worth
You're losing too much stats on legs to have the legendary there
Legs are literally the biggest stat budget item
well, okay, if i find some 304 legs, sure
🥺
SB if your being melee'd
ok and ignore pain for spells?
and to dump rage
ok. Is it ok to whirlwind to get aggro on lots of mobs if thunderclap isnt holding them?
You never ww
oh
You Revenge instead of ww
You shouldny even have whirlwind on your bars
Ww shouldnt even be on your bars
No worries
i probably just dont have good gear or something yet. I am only level 47
i just seem to die a lot when pallies heal in dungeons. every other class can keep me up but they struggle a bit
want to try and make their life easier
Och then dont worry about it at all, losing aggro on that level is probably quite normal
ok. Trying to be the best tank i can! 🙂
Most specs are balanced toward max level
So on lower levels some lack very crucial talents/abbilities
yeah that makes sence
Bro if thats his first toon or something he is probably running in greens from quests while others are running with full looms etc
Doesnt matter at that level
Just dont use whirlwind xD
ok i wont 🙂 ill just keep working on it
yeah my gear isnt good im sure i just started playing again lol after a year ish break
but so much has changed its carzy
My loons werent upgraded lol
Cool you are the best tank in the game man. Congratz
is arrow breaker really the bis shield from keys. i feel like some sort of haste would be better no?
Bis Shield is 304 or 311 shield
Is there a shield with haste from keys?
looking now not sure maybe im thinking of something from last season with a haste state on it,
What are you even talking about
kickjing myself for not taking that shield last week from my chest
Dude is asking about bis shield from keys and bis shield from keys is 298
Bis shield in the game is 311 from lords or generals
what did you take instead sully
Probably not sylvanas but well depends what your rest gear is
But what Cromtion is trying to say is that ilv>>>stats
And thats true
My bad vault is no shield zone here
socket tokens because i thought id be getting the shield alot faster
😬
Vault is vault not a key. You cant farm 304 shields from vault and have no influence (beside the loot spec ) over it
i didnt understand how upgrades worked. so i figured id upgrade the one from dreadlords faster than i actually will. So i took tokens over a 290-somthin currently running a 278 i dun goofed
but at the time i was getting used to tanking and didnt think id be doing 16s 17s so fast so now im on shield hunt mode next week ill have ows
are you even mythic raiding?
im 284 so any ilvl upgrade is huge im just chasing bis along the way
because if youre not, you wont get 311 ilvl shield
which means that 304 shield wouldve been your best pick by far
it was not a 304
ohh
so i didnt mess up thaaaat badly haha i jsust dint think it was a good shield
Stop trying to think about a bis list
BIS list = Mechagon ring set > rest ilvl
right right but atm im using a 278 shield that i cant upgrade/wouldent waste the token on to do so.
so im gonna be spamming mythic plus for a shield main reason of asking was since im targeting a shield in general it would make sense to target whichever is best for me.
Just get 1 shield
yall cleared it up though ty
Doesnt matter which one
grimrail is best you can get from dungeons
grimrail shield
tyvm
Bis is whatever late has on 👉 👈
nah my gear is bad

I agree with Late - from M+ you can currently get only 3 shields.
garbage shield from junkyard, master>crit from streets and vers>crit from GD.
there is no shield with haster from m+ this season so vers crit is probably superior than other 2
you can try to get shield from mythic the eye tho - heard people are pugging few bosses on mythic
or mythic skolex
those 2 are probably the best ones you can get without a raiding guild
tarragrue also drops a shield
och yeah sry, i mean tarregrue not the eye
ur right
the eye has really nice 1 hand 😛
Just out of curiosity since I started tanking on warrior like 2 weeks ago what makes the junkyard shield so bad?
I know it’s only one secondary but the special effect procs off block is it just really under tuned?
That makes more sense I didn’t know about the icd
so the shield on Junkyard is not good?
not really
it's good if its your highest ilvl
ok than i must upgrade them from Depot
The worst shield you can get, but better than lower ilvl
yeah grim i got on 288 junk i have now on 298
if you get it and it's highest ilvl you use it
its bad because you exchange the big secondary stat for a junky shield effect on a 30-45s cd last i checked
i'm not going to call it deadnaming because i think thats stupid but im coming up with som other name than yogi, its not name i've really used for along time come up withit on the spot one day
well it's true aint it?
Does prot have something to reduce healing on target? Like mortal strike?
no
every item you get 2 sets of secondary stats, will be like 80/50
It’s only arms?
I wonder why people dont consider mecha rings big
Sorry for noob question
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I didn't say it was worth
it's the logic
if the effect was actually decent
the secondary stats wouldn't be big
we died twice to curator again, probably go pug it later
yes only arms has an MS effect in pve for warrior
I'm stuck with the shield from mech atm
It's the only one I've had drop or vault, and now it's 12/12.
is the puddles on curator only damage and nothing else? like it's okay to leave him in them phase 1 or 2 (evocate)
and, what, if any targeting on the balls in spawns, like they can or cant be taunted, or they just float at random players and we gotta kill em
the adds you taunt and kill
they follow the highest threat
the shit on the floor is just shit on the floor, dont stand in it
Curator doesn't get any buffs or effects standing in his own shit
If your mele heavy and they are smart (hit it from the back) they may complain about moving him. But ignore them, you'll run out of room trying that
he seems to be a bit tricky,
He annoys me because he doesn't move properly. His hit box is probably why I have some issues moving him
so, the thing where the add stacks up a bunch of damage, thats what wipes us more thananything
I'd bet your dps isn't killing them as the boss gets near execute range
can we use stuns on it?
Uh, I don't think so.
i may attempt to ghostbusters soul trap it, very doubtful it will go off
Dps has to cleave them down or the adds will over run you
but why, just swap to them when they spawn
Indeed. Taunt em as they spawn, heroic throw for good measure as a just incase and keep em nice and stacked for cleave
sounds like macguyver plan anyways
Your job as always is to taunt and hold them close. Dps has to burn that shit. If your taunting as they spawn and holding em close your job is done my friend
Curator is still a good check. Esp for a 100 percent pug
he's a fucking wall on tyranical
Well, at some key or io levels
steel brick wall
Bring a big daddy warlock
hard focus the adds
dont stack
done.
thats all there is to the boss
is majordomo's dinner bell any good for tanks?
no
so just take sockets instead?
yea
even for druids?
for every tank
kk
stamina trinkets are generally really bad
a ilvl 400 bell is about as strong as a 278 
codex is also pretty bad
its only decently good for VDHs in 28+
for everyone else its inting to play codex
if anything codex is good for placebo
would prob be better to just play soleah and old warrior
yes
the thing about codex is, it appears to be better on details the worse you and your group are at the game
Sometimes on xymox I would stand in the rando lasers to proc my rdm
Idk if that how it works but it seemed ok
dropping to 20% procs rdm, yes
The method prot war guide says codex is the best trinket in the game "if you're getting hit very hard"
Also can it reflect the “floor damage” you take, back to the boss?
takes fall damage
*here boss hold this *
More like ground effect damage
I know lol. I highly doubt it tho
there is a necro thingy that if u take fall dmg it turns into giga absorb
It just seemed like after I got rdm standing in the floor lasers on xymox went from rough to I think I just procced rdm
its on a ppm
so any random damage can proc it
whether it reflects to the boss is another question
now i wonder if hungering destroyer circles lets you do damage to your ally
since the soak is not from the boss
its rppm
so if you didnt proc it in a while
you should get it the next time you did take dmg
mythic raid huh
In raid
I said give ‘em to somebody else I don’t need them
But because of that I couldn’t zzz for one of our 99 painsmith pulls
i fucking depleted my 15 upper just now lol, had to push the 14 and then push the ID
Yogi can u just tank for me and we’ll go fast
Come into my comms
Never a zzz moment
I’m full of shit my tank is 2200 I’m as blind as illidan basically
garunteed i'll have ksm next week unless total shit affixes
It’s v easy
If you know the route and have some patience you just invite all high io gamers who have timed your key before
i have everything except for lower on a 15 on fort
It’s a free carry every time
Yea when I did mine I had to carry
I did top dam unfortunately
And we only timed it by seconds
not very often i have trouble where someone joins and then sees oh its me and immediately leaves
have gotten angry at and to tons of times, but oh wel
noo, not to my knowledge, very rarely if it does
we fucked up the key somehow
99% of times
Need to make sure the people you are inviting have timed the key before
And not like a +2 version of it
sure, but its really like check your talents, buff up, hit your buttons look at the screen
nothing hard about it
M+ is playing around what will kill you
You need to know a few of them before you can time a key unless you’re playing your class very well or are an op spec playing your class well
Like if the dps doesn’t know one thing in a boss fight, dies, causes wipe, and does do carry damage for trash or other bosses. You will never time
You save so much time vetting your invites even though it take a little longer
generally speaking i invite anybody 280+ 1k
u mean hunter and warlock
just fill the group with hunters and locks and you win
It shows the best run of the current key that you are filling
Or that the party leader is hosting
oh, i never heard of that site
It’s not a site
It’s a datapoint provided by raiderio addon
When you hover over
Like there’s “best run”
You know?
yeah i saw that
“Best for” is relevant to the posted key
Try it out w 1 or 2 groups and tell me how it goes
Imo it’s only fair if to the tank if you know (roughly enough for a 15 at least) what you’re doing, you should have party members that have proven so too
And you get more fun comps sometime like shadows or ferals, boomkins, enh, ele
Like I’d rather it be a tight timer because off meta dps than a wipefest
I try not to take mages tho unless I have 1-2 premade casters in my group who want the buff
Pug mages are bad like 98% of the time that is factual science look it up
This isn't exactly wrong sadly
I’ll take a feral that has timed the key over a lock that hasn’t
Just to proactively remove potential of mental boom mid run
i play with a feral healer friend sometimes, it's fun
i had a feral in at least one of my groups recetnly
no idea if they did well or no
https://raider.io/mythic-plus-runs/season-sl-4/8118337-16-operation-mechagon-junkyard easily the best key i did all week theres a feral in this key
anyone got a decent iron docks route for 28+?
Yes but I'm not getting up from bed now 
Boomkin being terrible in m+ is what prompted me to gear a prot warrior and I’m having 10x more fun with it because it’s moderately competitive
Requires somebody who can pull the gauntlet
W innit, tell Hunter or Who ever to pull stuff back to stars
I don't see to many druids at all now that I think about i5
I'll make it a point to find a kitty in lfg
Ya druid is arguably the least popular m+ class currently
Only feral i invited All season outdpsed my usual surv dps Guy 
Not even resto, usually there are tons of treee
I saw some hunter in workshop 19 over the weekend. Dude pushed 98k dps peak on the first bot pull
link it to me when you're up from bed ❤️
I ain't getting up, but generally it's just.
Do the triple pull at start, then invis to boss. Pull until 18% count ontop of first boss
Soothe and brez mean jack when locks can do 10k more dps then you even when your performing well in higher keys
Then do triple ogre + 2 packs in the middle into first star
Then do deadeyes + 1 pack on the right + ogron for 2nd star
not as popular but tons of resto druids
Then you go as a group, go to start of gauntlet kill those 2 packs + 1 mob from the small ogron patrol.
Then you get hunter to pull the gauntlet trash, and the remaining ogron patrol to run into 3rd star
Rdruid has been hit or miss for me. They are either healing God's and I can't pull enough, or deplete
From that point on its just hold W
resto druid bad is skill issue
It’s because some don’t know how nl rdruid works
Totally
i trust monk healers the least, but i'm not at all fussy
Monk healers aren’t to be trusted in m+
In like +15-19 range it doesn’t matter anyways
Yep
