#

do you know what their autoattacks do?

topaz field
#

ofc

mellow bridge
#

what is it

topaz field
#

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

mellow bridge
#

I see

#

thanks for the convo

#

I dont want to continue

topaz field
#

like i tank them on my ww up to 26 27

mellow bridge
#

that's crazy

topaz field
#

with not losing more than 50 %

#

so idk what u are on about

fallow narwhal
#

Are you talking about the trash at the start of grimrail?

topaz field
#

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

topaz field
tropic gorge
#

@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

cobalt seal
#

Have you consider bringing the player

#

And not the spec?

tropic gorge
#

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

cobalt seal
#

Especially in pugs lol

tropic gorge
#

I do agree with you, player >class and spec

#

However without knowing the players that makes it hard

topaz field
#

for every wl and hunter player u have to rio - 500

#

and then look at it again

tropic gorge
#

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

cobalt seal
#

Also for what keys are we talking about?

tropic gorge
#

Oh, I'm in sub20

#

I doubt I'll break 20. I usually run 15 to 19

topaz field
#

its a complete gamble tbh in those keys

cobalt seal
#

Then the Logic you apply wont work

topaz field
#

u can literally meet ppl who are in that dungeon for the first time

tropic gorge
#

16 to 19 isn't bad. Sub 15 is bad. Sub 10 is, well it's quite an experience

topaz field
#

i met a SV 4 days ago 26 lower

#

he must have never been in that dungeon before

ionic roost
topaz field
#

no other explanation

tropic gorge
#

Run enough pugs and you'll see it. People thst don't interrupt. Lust classes that don't lust. All of it

cobalt seal
topaz field
#

i personally look a lot at total keys played also

tropic gorge
#

Mechanics? What arethose?

tropic gorge
#

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

ionic roost
tropic gorge
#

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

cobalt seal
ionic roost
#

Would you rather take a 304 hunter with 2900 score, or a 304 Druid with 2900 score

tropic gorge
#

Probably the boomie

#

I don't like a lot of hunter players tbh

tropic gorge
#

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

lusty tiger
#

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

ionic roost
#

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

tropic gorge
#

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

ionic roost
#

Dk

tropic gorge
#

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

ionic roost
#

Well it's just effort and button management

tropic gorge
#

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

cobalt seal
#

Where spec doesnt matter

#

I could say the same about 27's considering the way im Timing them

ionic roost
#

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

tropic gorge
#

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

ionic roost
#

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

cobalt seal
#

A healer that presses buttons

tropic gorge
#

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

ionic roost
#

Like the 28 ID we did where our monk just go flung hammered for 101% of his hp

cobalt seal
#

Thats why you dont run with inferior roles

tropic gorge
#

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

cobalt seal
#

That die to nothing

undone verge
#

My favorite when I was told I needed to be 265+ to tank a 12 otherwise we would be wiping over and over

tropic gorge
#

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

undone verge
#

Players In the 9-14 range are some of the worst

tropic gorge
#

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.

ionic roost
#

I don't expect anyone to be prepared outside a premade

#

Hold W routes only

tropic gorge
#

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

sick sentinel
cobalt seal
#

Lets name the utility of all classes

sick sentinel
#

well, what does arms /fury warrior do in a key for us?? ... oh wait...

ionic roost
#

I can't wait for the boss you can't beat without a poison/disease dispel

#

In dragonflight

tropic gorge
#

Lol

sick sentinel
#

dps monk, i'm not sure that they give anything besides a buff and like maybe ring of peace

cobalt seal
#

You mean how people still manage to do pf without that?

ionic roost
#

No it's like, the boss one shots you if you get 10 stacks

#

And you get 1 stack per auto

cobalt seal
#

And there comes from?

sick sentinel
#

so, other arms warrior and DH, dps monk i tend to pass on first

cobalt seal
#

There is nothing like that

ionic roost
#

The frog boss

sick sentinel
#

i still haven't gotten the solo PF mount

tropic gorge
#

Just be a dwarf. Problem solved

#

😉

cobalt seal
ionic roost
#

Literally the only frog boss

#

Think I'm a loremaster

tropic gorge
#

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?

sick sentinel
#

the majority of players i see yelling at me to "hold more aggro betterer" is other warriors mostly

cobalt seal
#

There is no frog boss in s4

sick sentinel
#

imma go solo that PF mount now

tropic gorge
#

Get it!

cobalt seal
ionic roost
cobalt seal
#

That can still be changed

#

Or have some kind of counterplay

ionic roost
#

I know I submitted feedback to make it just a magic dispel or something

tropic gorge
#

And this is why the best tank race is dwarf!

ionic roost
#

I was testing bear sadgers

#

Hard to test tho, convoke and incarn both don't work atm

rocky kraken
#

does salvaged fuse amp work on prot?

cobalt seal
#

Why wouldnt it

velvet yarrow
#

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?

lofty widget
#

i think it only works on the spinning beam and bots

urban bane
#

Can just leap after the stun field goes off and that skips most of that part anyway

rocky kraken
urban portal
graceful cobalt
#

if i want to Play The Wall wich Talents i should choose?

urban portal
#

same talents

graceful cobalt
#

and change conduits?

rocky kraken
#

ok cool. thought i read somewhere that SFA didnt work on revenge

flint plank
rocky kraken
#

reprisal 😢

urban portal
#

same conduits

graceful cobalt
#

i don´t like the charge/intervane

urban portal
#

we only got 2 months anyways

graceful cobalt
#

and with The wall it´s for me Tankier

tropic gorge
#

My friend, charge is the center of our tool kit

#

And probably one of our most important abilities

graceful cobalt
#

yeah but it feels for me like a pinball with the wall it´s tankier for me

tropic gorge
#

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

urban portal
#

yeah intervene is generally niche in m+

#

especially w/o conduit

tropic gorge
#

I'm not gatekeeping or bashing you, but if you don't like charge may I suggest a dk or paladin

urban portal
#

tbf we are done with reprisal in like 3 months

tropic gorge
#

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

graceful cobalt
#

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

flint plank
#

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

tropic gorge
#

My warrior was made during vanilla, before wsg was added in. I'm right there with ya

modern brook
#

look at these boomers

tropic gorge
#

Lol

#

Get off my lawn damnit!

modern brook
#

I will

#

I will CHARGE

#

and INTERVENE rightoff >:

flint plank
#

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

modern brook
#

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**

graceful cobalt
#

yes thats right but i don´t like meeles

#

a WL/Fire mage bring more dps as a Warrior/rouge^^

flint plank
#

you dont have to ping pong wolth you can intervene ur co tank in raid after you swap

modern brook
#

yeah but then u have to play with a wl or a fire mage'

graceful cobalt
#

and most rnd dps warrior charge bladestorm death

modern brook
#

so it all balances out

graceful cobalt
#

so why choose a IQ low class if i get PPL with Int

modern brook
graceful cobalt
#

in my Grp i have Holy Priest WL/Firemage

modern brook
#

how do u kick things my god

graceful cobalt
#

And if i do sheep something every time i must sent the dps warrior out of the room^^

tropic gorge
graceful cobalt
#

ask Balow^^

mighty sleet
#

Shared Suffering...can someone give me a quick tutorial on this solo soak please?

lusty tiger
#

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

mighty sleet
sick sentinel
#

hello again, is there no zulga in iron dock?

#

im looking at MDT and not able to see it

lusty tiger
#

I have never done that so idk

#

Need some real m+ gamers to answer that

sick sentinel
#

i just kill demon vampires that get in the way... they have more features of demons than vampires i figure

lusty tiger
#

But that is a theory craft

mighty sleet
lusty tiger
#

I think he only recasts once

tired night
spiral warren
lusty tiger
tired night
#

Or leap

flint plank
#

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

lusty tiger
#

You can normal jump over the rats

#

Painsmith apparently requires a pixel perfect jump basically

minor helm
#

Painsmith should just be regular jump then leap at peak of jump

lusty tiger
#

Ohh

#

Makes sense

#

Hm I guess I COULD try that today

sick sentinel
#

i didnt see him on mdt

spiral warren
#

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

sacred wing
#

Does anyone know, what my Vers. should be at tanking? I am going to start pushing 20+ keys and I am wondering.

lofty widget
#

doesnt matter

minor helm
#

More than 0 less than 1 million

lofty widget
#

get ilvl above anything

drifting fable
#

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

uneven mason
#

Vers stacking weird

worn bear
#

@silver merlin

sacred wing
#

thank you.

pallid quiver
#

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.

scenic coral
#

does someone have a bodyguard WA that shows me the uptime or when the buff just gets outranged

#

?

sick sentinel
#

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

tropic gorge
#

and the push continues

#

for being back in the game for 5 weeks, i'm somewhat happy with that so far

sinful plover
#

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

tropic gorge
#

getting into 20, for me is gonna be a challenge. id rather have a solid group to run with on the reg

sinful plover
#

Yeah I timed a few with pugs, puging 20s is really a lick of the draw with your teammates.

tropic gorge
#

theres that, and when i mess up, id rather not have pug rage lol

#

doesn't really help to figure out what went wrong

cobalt seal
#

Mute them

#

Or grow thic skin

sick sentinel
#

i had some kind of problem with the stars part iron docks

chrome falcon
#

ok

#

not exactly specific

sick sentinel
#

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

chrome falcon
#

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?

sick sentinel
#

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

chrome falcon
#

so you're just asking if the stars one shot?

#

i still don't understand your question

sick sentinel
#

im asking how to pull the bottom half of the area that i'm showing here

chrome falcon
#

you have a route

#

that's how you pull it

#

the route is accurate and works fine

sick sentinel
#

if there is something specific i gotta do and if it one shots

chrome falcon
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

merry aurora
#

Hey all, new to prot here, what's the haste cap for prot?

chrome falcon
#

there isn't one

#

haste loses slight value at 40%

sick sentinel
#

through stats like OWS trinket effect, or on gear, 40% is where some of us stop actively going for it

chrome falcon
#

but doesn't matter

sick sentinel
#

through % gain m+ lust/hero, infinity

merry aurora
#

Dually noted

tropic gorge
#

youre remembering to spell reflect vampiric strike ya

vague abyss
#

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?

mighty sleet
vague abyss
#

ty for the answer

#

Oh I didn't even realize it read as enemies as well

#

I'm dumb lol. Thanks again

mighty sleet
vague abyss
#

Not a fan of it either, unfortunately. Hoping that with tuning we won't end up running it in DF

#

🤞

mighty sleet
#

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.

vague abyss
#

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 yep

chrome falcon
#

just use cast @ cursor macro

#

makes it feel 10x better imo

vague abyss
#

Works for Ravager yeah, I just don't like it with Spear cause you have to be much more precise

chrome falcon
#

yeah i hate spear

vague abyss
#

I'll probably set it up for Ravager, just getting into Prot yesterday for the first time since Legion

pallid quiver
#

The @player macro solves all my problems

onyx vessel
#

At cursor could also work

sick sentinel
#

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

blazing condor
#

Cursor diff

orchid mural
chrome falcon
#

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

ocean berry
#

How important is the race of a dwarf if I'm going to play max 20-25 keys? Is their racial ability worth it?

mortal brook
#

Better than many alternatives, not absolutely required

#

If you think they look cute in your favorite transmog go for it

chrome falcon
#

The racial is good but not remotely necessary

#

(In that range)

strong forum
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

chrome falcon
#

It’s pretty huge for dps/healers in certain dungeons

sick sentinel
#

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

mortal brook
#

what a waste. each star can kill 15 things

chrome falcon
#

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

cinder storm
#

What you have there is decent with pugs if you don't have a hunter

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

#

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

sick sentinel
#

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?

grave wedge
#

Yeah thay one haha

sick sentinel
#

i dunno about that one srry

lofty widget
#

nothing special to do really, use sw, sr etc, kick the detonates

sick sentinel
#

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

chrome falcon
#

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

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

Having to tank on Kevin can be annoying if you forget and the little jammy bastard takes no damage

Oh it’s fucking KEVIN that makes them sometimes troll me

u can click it off. i just tried, i bet u could macro /cast banner /cancelaura kevin, for niche moments like that

I dunno shit hurts sometimes and if I’m not trolling I can keep it up into boss

it seems like too much risk for menial reward to me but to each their own

There is no risk

There is also no point in doing it

hey guys working on prot warrior - wondering if there any good in PVP or should i try out the other 2 specs

undone verge
#

I know rextroy had an OP Prot and Unholy 2s build, but idk much other than that

cinder nova
#

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

doesn't matter at all, choose one that you like honestly

zinc shale

dwarf is probably the best but it doesnt really matter until youre at the 30 keys

lofty widget
#

doesnt matter in season 4

#

theres nothing to use the racial on

sick sentinel
#

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

lofty widget
#

reg dwarf is also more dmg than DI

sick sentinel
#

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

lofty widget
#

dwarf has +2% crit dmg, but it doesnt matter

#

its like 20 dps difference

sick sentinel

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

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

#

leech is worthless in terms of your decision making for gear

#

you're happy its there

#

but you should basically ignore it

zinc shale
#

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

chrome falcon
#

7 ilvl isn't huge

strong forum
#

Well you'd never ever ever drop ilvl on a weapon

chrome falcon
#

but it's more than leech

#

and yeah the idea of dropping weapon ilvl for any stat, let alone a tertiary

#

is insane

zinc shale
#

wep is also the lowest amount of stats from any piece of gear

#

just sim it and do whatever that tells you

strong forum
#

Wep is what decides your dmg

#

So no point simming it

#

Ilvl upgrade on weapon will always win

sick sentinel
#

same logic for defensive value withshield

#

oh crap no my key went up to 18 GD, this will not end well

zinc shale
#

gd is easy

mellow bridge
#

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

id like to reiterate that dwarf is the best warrior race

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 😦

strong forum
#

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

else dwarf is more dps

I was told not to use whirlwind as a prot warrior? But tattman uses it?

sick sentinel
#

285 scars vs 298 codex? dont really need survivability so im thinking why not take scars for primary + all stats + dmg

jagged pier
#

its also less damage than just play normal prot now

#

👍

cobalt seal
#

you actually lose surv lol

#

And comparing scars to codex should be a crime

Scars seems funny

#

Taking 20% more damage for fun

#

*auto damage

strong forum
#

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

sick sentinel
#

well i, i should do 3 more, see what happens i guess

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

sick sentinel

just preference really

I prefer smaller races

So I've been dwarf and vulpera

sick sentinel

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

balmy canyon
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

it's literally "keep a renew on me and i'm good" thing

grave wedge
#

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

mighty valley
#

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

sick sentinel

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

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

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

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?

ionic fern
#

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?

night oracle
#

so what do u think of spell block

#

20s spell immune ?

devout rivet
#

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

ionic fern
# night oracle 20s spell immune ?

#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.

ionic fern
#

OWS/Aegis/Matrix etc are all solid options for trinkets.
Don't overcomplicate it - trinkets won't make or break the key.

devout rivet
#

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

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 tried both normal and hectic add cleav

cobalt seal

Or other values

graceful cobalt
#

on both he told me that into the frey is stronger than revanger

#

so is revanger more defens ( becouse of more rage)

strong forum
#

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

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

Just out of curiosity since I started tanking on warrior like 2 weeks ago what makes the junkyard shield so bad?

if anything codex is good for placebo

storm isle
#

would prob be better to just play soleah and old warrior

strong forum
#

yes

#

the thing about codex is, it appears to be better on details the worse you and your group are at the game

lusty tiger
#

Sometimes on xymox I would stand in the rando lasers to proc my rdm

#

Idk if that how it works but it seemed ok

strong forum
#

dropping to 20% procs rdm, yes

lusty tiger
#

What

#

No I never got close

#

Doesn’t it proc on damage taken?

tropic gorge
#

The method prot war guide says codex is the best trinket in the game "if you're getting hit very hard"

uneven mason
lusty tiger
#

Also can it reflect the “floor damage” you take, back to the boss?

tropic gorge
#

takes fall damage
*here boss hold this *

lusty tiger
#

More like ground effect damage

tropic gorge
#

I know lol. I highly doubt it tho

sick sentinel
#

there is a necro thingy that if u take fall dmg it turns into giga absorb

lusty tiger
#

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

urban portal
#

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

strong forum
#

its rppm

#

so if you didnt proc it in a while

#

you should get it the next time you did take dmg

sick sentinel
#

not a chance i get a dud vault this time

modern brook
#

I can't wait to have a better vault Than yogi

#

With 4 +2s

lusty tiger
#

I passed up I think 2 mythic cheat death trinkets

sick sentinel
#

mythic raid huh

lusty tiger
#

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

sick sentinel
#

i fucking depleted my 15 upper just now lol, had to push the 14 and then push the ID

lusty tiger
#

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

sick sentinel
#

garunteed i'll have ksm next week unless total shit affixes

lusty tiger
#

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

sick sentinel
#

i have everything except for lower on a 15 on fort

lusty tiger
#

It’s a free carry every time

sick sentinel
lusty tiger
#

Yea when I did mine I had to carry

#

I did top dam unfortunately

#

And we only timed it by seconds

sick sentinel
#

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

lusty tiger
#

People target dodge you yogi?

#

What have you put these poor gamers through

sick sentinel
#

noo, not to my knowledge, very rarely if it does

#

we fucked up the key somehow

#

99% of times

lusty tiger
#

Need to make sure the people you are inviting have timed the key before

#

And not like a +2 version of it

sick sentinel
#

sure, but its really like check your talents, buff up, hit your buttons look at the screen

lusty tiger
#

Nah

#

That’s a wrong take

sick sentinel
#

nothing hard about it

lusty tiger
#

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

sick sentinel
#

generally speaking i invite anybody 280+ 1k

lusty tiger
#

Just look at raiderio “best for”

#

That’s all u need

sick sentinel
#

u mean hunter and warlock

lusty tiger
#

What?

#

No

#

The “best for” category

sick sentinel
#

just fill the group with hunters and locks and you win

lusty tiger
#

It shows the best run of the current key that you are filling

#

Or that the party leader is hosting

sick sentinel
#

oh, i never heard of that site

lusty tiger
#

It’s not a site

#

It’s a datapoint provided by raiderio addon

#

When you hover over

#

Like there’s “best run”

#

You know?

sick sentinel
#

yeah i saw that

lusty tiger
#

“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

tropic gorge
lusty tiger
#

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

tropic gorge
#

I've only seen 2 ferals on m+ all of sl

#

One during s1, and one a couple weeks ago

mighty valley
#

i play with a feral healer friend sometimes, it's fun

storm isle
#

Every druid ive invited hoping its a ranged has been feral

#

Prob 4 or so this season

strong forum
#

Cuz feral is better than boomy

#

Boomkin is literally the worst m+ dps currently

sick sentinel
#

i had a feral in at least one of my groups recetnly

#

no idea if they did well or no

raven hatch
#

anyone got a decent iron docks route for 28+?

strong forum
#

Yes but I'm not getting up from bed now medge

gritty swallow
#

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

strong forum
#

Requires somebody who can pull the gauntlet

lofty widget
#

W innit, tell Hunter or Who ever to pull stuff back to stars

tropic gorge
#

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

strong forum
#

Ya druid is arguably the least popular m+ class currently

lofty widget
#

Only feral i invited All season outdpsed my usual surv dps Guy gladge

tropic gorge
#

Not even resto, usually there are tons of treee

sick sentinel
#

duid can remove enrage and brez

#

that alone is pretty good

tropic gorge
#

I saw some hunter in workshop 19 over the weekend. Dude pushed 98k dps peak on the first bot pull

raven hatch
strong forum
#

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

gritty swallow
#

Soothe and brez mean jack when locks can do 10k more dps then you even when your performing well in higher keys

strong forum
#

Then do triple ogre + 2 packs in the middle into first star

sick sentinel
#

oh well i was also including healer druid too

#

those are popular

strong forum
#

Then do deadeyes + 1 pack on the right + ogron for 2nd star

sick sentinel
#

not as popular but tons of resto druids

strong forum
#

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

tropic gorge
#

Rdruid has been hit or miss for me. They are either healing God's and I can't pull enough, or deplete

strong forum
#

From that point on its just hold W

sick sentinel
#

resto druid bad is skill issue

lusty tiger
#

Totally

sick sentinel
#

i trust monk healers the least, but i'm not at all fussy

lusty tiger
#

Monk healers aren’t to be trusted in m+

gritty swallow
#

In like +15-19 range it doesn’t matter anyways

lusty tiger
#

Yep
