I would argue up to like +24 as long as the person can play their class well any spec is viable
Yeah but that’s assuming the person is a gamer
+24 is a very small portion of wow players
If boomkin is dog (which it is) and I’ve timed +23s and not been worst dps I will definitely call it a take the player not the class
Maybe getting one or two PIs for a beefy rav
priest PI isn't really a factor for me
more that priest has 2 healing specs, so kinda impossible for them not to know how to heal
I would never assume someone knows how to play every spec they have
I can’t even assume someone knows how to play the spec they sign up as
I watched the debacle of S1 sunking where a healer was casting holy spells out of the spell book because they had never specced into it until that moment
Well then
Not necessarily when it comes to keeping themselves alive- priests
priest movement sucks so bad that they need to be a little more aware
Had so many fotm pug holy priest dying over and over s3
They are very squishy
Is this the case even in S4?
some priests are completely brainless
yes given that even KSM is a very small portion of wow players lol
Iirc keystone master is like 20% or less of m+ participants
So if you’re running +24s you are a rather small portion
Even moreso in s4, there are alot less people playing
Everyone is playing classic because wrath is coming out instead of the same 3 raids again
i had one in ID and it died 3 times in the key, pretty sure none to me, died to charging cleave before first boss, stood in some fire arrows, then ran out into the firing cannnons final pull before boss 2
then he stopped dying
Oh, I guess I’m in a little hardcore(ish) bubble and out of touch with the majority of the player base then.
pretty much everyone in this discord is
I feel like if you’re in a class discord you’ve already exceeded expectations of the majority
tons of people don't interact with group content at all
i already did that shit 10 years ago don't need to do it again
"the average wow player" is an idea that doesn't really exist, people play this game in all sorts of weird unorganized ways
It kinda depends on the comp, ID mobs hit really hard and if there's one or to rdps heals will get targeted more often
Not even my class 😂 my warrior is level 50. Just doing research for DF
In most high keys you'll see a priest die there unless they are using the box strat
With 2760 you're already part of the 1%
1% of the part that touches m+
That's like 25s across the board
Haha well that’s a nice ego boost. Top 1% and didn’t even know. Where did you get this info from? (sorry for this having nothing to do with prot)
It's from rio
This guy must have a group
this key
If you looked in group finder for 1 second you would see only like 3 keys above +20
Most people pushing high keys will just run with a group or people they've networked with, one pug is fine, more than one is a dice roll
Like my goal is 3k for this season, but the past few weeks we've barely played so it'll be a bit tough I guess
I’m 2780 fully pugged, 90% of my playtime is daytime keys though. I just assumed LFG was quiet due to not playing peak times 🤷♀️
I'm on the same boat, barely pushed last two weeks, 2882, 3k is my goal but I'm fine where I'm at if I stay in that io
I wanted 2.9k during the 2 good push weeks but we can barely play like 2 keys a day
Daytime gamer
And if we deplete that just sucks
i just want 2k or so
god damnit, their back
yeah, god speed to anyone doing keys right now, casual dads and kids for sure RN
got my daily curse always 1 warr every day that got codex :C
if i see 304 codex i might grab it tomorrow
I normally leave those grps but this was a guildfriend doing keys and asked for a spot so cant rly leave 😛
i did like, 5keys with the raven, impossible to tell whats going on with it for me, doesn't show on details
think he dislikes me :C
Esh
loithar is famous
famous people also shouldn't play kyrian and only wear one legendary, i guess
what the fuck man
is he ? never heard of him XD
🤷♂️ tbh ive given up on pug warriors :C
wtf are those conduits tho 
dont even ask what lego it is
Why has spear only done 90k that far into the dungeon
maybe it was on one pull, he died early on and the group fell apart, seems like he made himself private on armory
now thats an interesting post
thats a lot of thunder clap dmg
big boy was clappin every cheek he saw
he must have thrown the spear once
2x throws should exceed 90k dmg lol
nice to see he used execute tho. thats a plus
Noob question: Why in dungeons can I only use victory rush after some enemies die and not others?
you need to get the killing blow to proc victory rush
Ty that makes so much more sense haha
the window is 20 seconds at maximum duration, easy to plan out a use for it once you see whatever the VR buff is called
vr will save your life
you can attempt to snag some VRs with execute or other hard hitting abilties (reflect hits for alot too)
should i use RDM in keys or shard?
Last week i was struggling with 8s this week i was beasting through 16s and a few 17 attempts. Yall the real mvps
i had limited resistance with majority of pple i ran with this week terms of dungeon being hard or not
doing 15s few 16s
mostly curator that nuked my group and i relearned you have to taunt them
Ill have you know that I definetly didnt just use shield wall, last stand and rallying cry all at the same time in a +2 because I have no idea how this class plays. Ive done 28s on my main and i feel lost lol
how to prot warrior > is shield block up > yes / no > yes why arent you pressing shield block again no why arent you pressing shield block again
thats more complicated than my bdk rotation of.. HS,HS,HS,HS,HS,HS,HS
personally I do just 15-21s (casual for some)
and I find RDM being 100% fine since 9 dont drop trinket yet 😦 + I dont rly feel I need it :>
ok, i got OWS, RDM, and Shard so i didnt know what combination i shoulda been running
atm I play OWS + RDM but might swap since I get almost too much haste imo with lust in m+ :>
you don't need shard until 25+
thx matta :>
You should try to actually play bdk right
Nah I like to resource starve myself and never heal 😇
Shield slams for rage, revenge to proc shield slam, ignore pain around 70 ish rage to avoid overcaping. Run necrolord with the reprisal leggo and unnerving focus+adaptive armor fragment as potency conduits. Unnerving focus turns Last stand into a pseudo offensive button meaning you press it at the start of pulls because it gives you 75% increased rage gen for 15 seconds. With reprisal intervene and charge on cooldown (charge weaving is pretty optional because it’s difficult and not necessary, but it’s nice if you’re dry on rage, or trying to fuel banner uptime.) The current flavor of the month necrolord rewards good play of the spec via banners 20% strength and steady 4 rage per second. Fueling banner is as simple as doing your rotation right and not overcaping rage. Once again, Shield slam when it’s up, and press revenge to proc shield slam, ignore pain >70 rage to avoid overcaping, and even in aoe make sure to spend outburst stacks on Shiled slam for rage gen. Thunderclap I use mostly as a filler when I’m dry on procs, but it is ok to spend an avatar outburst on TC at the start of pulls to get quick threat.
There’s a lot more I could go into depth about but that’s the basics.
Gigachad
Still worse then banner reprisal
But no effort required
Reprisal is pretty annoying to use
Alot of micromanagement something i dont like
Im looking at the wall in prepatch

Double wall

Imagine the cd on shield wall
Shield wall is a super strong defensive cd, especially with Anger management. Prots dmg intake is a lot different from a bdk for example, which reacts to the dmg they take via healing with deathstrike, there is some semblance of reacting via rune tap to prevent dmg, but prot takes this to the extreme, being proactive to the dmg we take. Because most of our healing is in absorbs, it becomes very hard to heal for dmg we take outside of Victory rush procs or health stones/pots. Thus you want to prevent dmg before you take it. This comes from Shieldblock uptime, which comes naturally from pressing it on CD and pressing charge/intervene as often as possible, ignore pain, which becomes 70-90% uptime of 55% dmg reduction as you start to spend rage. Spell reflect is a nice 20% magic dmg reduction you can use. Pressing it in packs with heavy magic dmg, or magic spells is typically the way to go. You can also save it for offensive moments like the final boss in upper, reflecting his cast back at him rather than interrupting all of them. Using shield wall is a bit more tricky because you need to be proactive with it in packs, pressing shield wall when you’re already at 20% health, while probably the right thing to do in that situation, is still bad because it should have been pressed to prevent you from reaching 20% health rather than to prevent you from dying because there’s a good chance you are still going to die. With the amount of rage we have shield wall has a super short Cd as well s being around 1-1:30. Because of this, it makes it a bit more intuitive to use. If you’re in a situation where you know you aren’t going to ‘need’ it for a while, then it could be a good idea to press it more liberally to give your healer some help, and just make your life easier. But if you know the next pack is going to hurt like a mofo, it might be a good idea to save it. Prot can be pretty punishing atm if you aren’t very good at preventing the dmg you take, so being proactive is very important. Like I stated earlier, making sure you’re pressing cooldowns and abilities with the intent of preventing dmg before it happens, rather than reacting to the dmg. Outside of helathstones, victory rush procs, and any other potions, it’s very hard to heal yourself since most of our healing is in absorbs like IP, and some passive healing via indomitable.
I should write a book
?
I wrote a lot
^
Well it’s a good thing you know how to get lay prot then
I know nothing.
Prot bros. I come bearing stories of triumph. My raid lost our MT this week and I converted to prot for the first time this xpac to fill his role. Tanked my first 21 tonight plenty of time to spare. #feelsgoodman

Pugging 6-15 keys on undergeared underknoledgeable tanks is the worst pain I’ve felt in a while
Rolled prot for my vault this week for the first time ever and spiked a 311 shield. Better lucky than good!
Grats, I still don't have a max shield yet lmao
R u ok
Also hi mwahi 
Hi. 🙂
good morning, is tanknotes.com no longer updated? is there any alternative for s4 dungeons?
@gaunt dawn ?:(
thanks @brittle owl back to youtube then
👶
👶
I type fast and think a lot, so no
UF gives 66% not 75%. Banner gives you 22% STR, not 20%. Also UF is not a potency conduit and no mention of Ashen Juggernaut, which imho should always be used.
unnerving should be potency tbh, but ashen is decent in m+ but in no way is needed, Id def run it in m+ but its not great for survivability, and/or integral to the playstyle like UF and AAF are
like I said I could have gone in depth into more stuff, but thats the basics
Cant stop wont stop
Hey everyone, new here but glad to speak with some other prot warriors
Ok so I have both trinkets I want, what do I spend my last 2 Dina coins on? https://raider.io/characters/eu/doomhammer/Cypherdave
I am thinking maybe a shield?
Rdm
What is that?
Buying a shield is pointless if you don't mythic raid to upgrade it to 311
I have all the trinkets I want tbh, looking for others
In your case its either buy matrix and dps trinkets, or just buy for transmog
Lol
Xmog
I am going to try pugging mythic 😒
Same if gavel is classed as xmog
I literally told you 3
Non- trinkets I mean
Actually @strong forum I saw a clip from you doing streets. Looked like you leapt away from the first 3 adds so you didn't get the debuff can you los that
Then there's only a point if you can and will get 20/40 mythic kills to get the upgrade tokens. If you are pugging it'll take you a few weeks/months
I was prolly just out of range?
I didn't do it intentionally
But yes you can LoS the pulse thingy
So no real upgrade from the weapon or shield I have then
We don’t really dinar shields or weapons, since you’d get them at 278, so outside of a super duper niche circumstance where you got RDM Aegis OWS and maybe Sigil, and also had a mythic upgrade token plus spare dinars maybe you could upgrade kt weapon, or some other one with decent stats to 311. But then again that’s considering you don’t even want to try fury or arms in which case I’d just dinar stuff for those two. Or you could always dinar for mog like a gigachad
Honestly, I'm holding my last dinar until I have an upgrade token to make practical use of it.
Because in the intervening time between getting enough bits for an upgrade token and actually spending the dinar you could get a drop that can upgrade into a 311 and then spend the dinar on something else.
Doubt I will though
Dumb question, but the first 311 upgrade should be weppy, no?
That is to say, if I had to pick - gun to the head - which does more damage, OWS 311 or a 311 weapon
I feel like weapon is the clear stand-out, but I haven't ran sims
Ofc the weapon in that scenario
Ows gains like 10 haste per 7ilvl
Weapon is your single biggest contributor to your dps in terms of gear
Vibe
wrong
pressing buttons
discord was made for taking sentence apart and out of context anyways
But you didn’t even take the sentence apart the in terms of gear is still in the sentence 😔
oh well, i took the first partof what he said and added something true to be funny
How many kicks per fishmancer? 1 melee sufficient?
I got Mekacycle shield and the shitty magic protection bit band 
That is a non question yohi
i really wanna take the cloak
The answer is obv
Yeah that’s not a hard choice if they are equal already
yeah no, i don't know that its obvious but im assumiing i should go shoulders because bigger stamina str
yeah, until someone tells me otherwise im gunna go 304 shield/weapon (have a valor weapon) >> remaining tier >> other

Gz
I’d take that weap just for mog ngl
i got 16 junkyard
Is the gluttonous spike any good? or should i just dinar a RDM and upgrade it?
HK 8 over gobbomak on NA so people can know
Any idea what the second place is?
Gl!
Yeah I’d be surprised if even getting 15s on those 3 give you 2k
Will be close
Should be good if you get a 15 upper as well
just have to do a gunker route and not screw up too badly let dps die
Recursion loop is better for tanking than Division loop right
meh, youll get same ish uptime
i'm willing to bet upper keys are hell this week with ledges and tornadoes
how do you hit targets in the back with Division loop tho? @lofty widget
when you're tanking
it counts as a 270 degree arc so it's relatively easy to proc
they turn to cast cleave at thehunter
I think I am slipping into the df waiting room
whats the play bois
Weapon if no 304 weapon
Cloak if no 304 cloak
Decanter/soleah if no better dps trinkets
In that order
Otherwise socket
yeah was thinking the same, the no secondaries on the weapon make it kinda sus
now my mh and oh have no secondaries 😅
It do be like that
Ilvl > stats
On weapon you want the weapon dps
Cuz that'll scale all of your dmg
The secondaries don't matter
Is there any theorycrafting behind whether you use avoidance or leech on cloak? or is it just w/e
ok
wdym?
I think he means logs
Say it ain’t so
how to get giga fucked 2nd week in a row
on vault
step 1: be me
congratulations, its sockets again
well at least i have 3 sockets to throw around lmao
used 1 last week so yea
Speeed
best way to not get fucked on vault
U can go so fast now
is to not play
vaults feel very underwhelming rn when basically all slots have 311 bis
i dont do mythic
so
that's not happening
and 311 is end boss loot
🤷♂️
but i get what youre saying
either way i enjoy this season
except for JY/WS and vault fucking me over with no ring or weap
i saw the first recursion to drop since i resubbed on a run last night helping a bud on a 16, hadn't seen any dropping on my runs at all
it went to the shittiest shaman
but at least now i know im not cursed
My names nim chip I have a vault thay sucks that I worked really hard to get instead of boosting bullfango
Smh
maybe this week
Hits me with the maybe smh
was kinda rough last week cause of hurricane
Yeah are u getting railed by Ian too?
Yah that'll give me someone to dumpster on the meters
lmao
either way i raid xiv today and thursday so no go, but other days should be good to go during the evening
I'm bust Friday and sat, probably open Sunday night
But we can schedule this outside of #prot
true
last week was weird, i had too many groups lusting on bosses
did a 20 gmbt, had this quel'thalas hunter that died repeatedly to double dread giant
didnt lust on triple pull
someone asked him why he didnt lust and he said "lust boss"
smh
then went afk waiting on healer to rez someone that had their invis pot fade on guardians
had to start boss, he stayed afk out of the room
ruined the key lmao
main fury, went prot loot spec for the luls - got a 304 shield, time to become a bannerchad
Nice my dude
+66 for that 16 yard, complete with angry mage
Good work yogi
i maybe come back as yogi but we'll see, seems like it suck good this time
why use last stand with banner? whats the correlation
conduit, u get more rage during LS, and if you spend more rage, you can keep up banner longer
literally goes hand in hand with AM and set bonus
got it
Yeah last stand is barely a cd
Last stand increases how much damage we absorb absorbed with ignore a pain too right.
Who?
The details metres, currently I track healing done, damage, interupts
Ignore pain doesnt take max health into consideration
so the only way Last stand would affect our IP damage absorbtion is through the extra rage gen provided by unnerving focus
Damage taken by spell and deaths are the most practically useful ones
i only track dmg done and healing
rest you can just get shortcuts to
by rightlicking the window, you dont need to show all tabs at the same time
god damn nomeratur you have me beat by .3 score
i'm coming for ya
oh nvm u did a key
rip

for some reason i though ignore pain worked off max hp. wierd.
hey need some vault advice peoples my options are 304 shoulders 304 gloves or a 291 decanter of endless howling current trinks are soleas and remote guidance but im buying ows to swap one of those out this week after a lfr spam
is a 291 decanter worth using/ taking the 304s are not great upgrades and id be giving up leach on a 298 if i take shoulders
i dont plan on updraging to mythic so im mazxing out with 298s in most slots unless its a raid bis
(raid bis meaning i can upgrade it to heroic 298)
You answered your own question
Tske the 304s
Leech is not a reason not to take 6ilvls on a slot
ty some one once told me leach is worth about 10 ilvls and sockets werte like 15
Did they also send you pawn strings or link noxxic
nope but i myself try to dodge those like the plague
pawn was a fucking nightmare witha bm hunter during legion ill never use it again
when i do medivh, i mostly want to worry about interrupting the ice spell right?
seems like that's the one that leads to most trouble
im aware of reflect the missiles if you can
And reflect the last tick of arcane missiles
it caps off max hp but you're really only hitting cap if you're doing irrelvent content you severely outgear anyways
If you can go into that room without your stupid pugs pulling every pack, power to u
i feel like with tornadoes and pugs standing out there is just asking for all kinds of problems
Upper % is basically just skip what you can up to the worms
I think chess is nerfed to like 8% tho
Iirc beginning of season it was 20%?
quaking viz'aduun was very very annoying
It's around 10% don't know exact count, but we get there with 89.94% and its enough
Does anyone know by chance how many points of leech are 1%? As well as, 1 point of leech, how much 0.0?% is? 😄
Is it worth running 304 boots, Reprisal on legs and tier hands? Boots haste mastery also btw.
Gearing gets tricky in this season
Nah not worth
But tier gloves are worth to run you don't want haste in absolutely every slot
And a bit of crit and mastery are good offensively and defensively
If you've got money falling out your ass you could craft boots and legs and switch as you get different gear setups, but long term it's gonna be boots
well, "long term" when we're near the end of a bonus season
Ultimately you can just sim it, but yeah, it won't be a huge difference
Up to you, I have like 5 unities at this point
40 leech ==1% leech, 1 leech = 1/40% leech
oops
what's there to prepare at this point of season?
look at and confirm the route, i get lost in karazhan
buy a GPS
no worries, once again i am an idiot, it's fine i'll figure it out soon
the pug-safe route is just kill opera, all die, go left from start to horsemen, then moroes, then maiden
because pugs will inevitably pull a gajillion of post-opera trash
do most groups go to the horse after opera?
i'd just as well prefer to kill some of the trash after opera, walk back, save your bufs and what not
i doubt push groups do but the floors and ceilings are so thin over there, to do the trash safely you have to pull it back through the opera room
unless you trust everyone that's with you
but like, if a mage does a flamestrike, 50/50 chance it pulls something on a different floor
you should have lust for all bosses in lower this week
i want to get moroes 3rd because we should have lust again on him in a good run, and then i have to trap one of the guys there with engineer soul trap but its only 1 of the guys and i cant really remember which
one of the adds is like some wipe thing anyways
i clear moroes trash then lust. then clear attunement lust is generally of CD for the burn phase in maiden
so, immedaitely wheni jumpdown into the stairs, go for horse trash
i usually trap the ranged ones and kill Crispin the sword man first
the whirlwind guy can basically be ignored til it's time to kill him
if your dps is slow and you're playing giga safe you can retrap anyway
the clip i see he does it on the add called "dreuger"
makes sense
dreuger is the whirlwind guy who's the most annoying to put DPS on
so if you're skipping someone entirely he's a good one to remove
i bet if u got 5 engineers and used 5 traps probably could negate the entire add portion of that fight
4 but yeah
yeah, rotate the 5th one as needed on big threat
no, there are only 4 guests
Do tertiary stats persist through catalyst?
e.g. An item with leech will keep leech if you run it through the catalyst
Yes
Unless it’s one of those items that come with a tertiary always on the@
Like the gloves from yard
okay, i had problems mostly relating to moroes, i gotta look this crap up
thoughts on this vaulty?
is that a shield?
trinkety
weapon probably
shorting bit band might be good thats damage right? but, i dunno for raid choices
298 weapon
aw hell no blizzard wants me to learn tyr sanguine upper, gotta run it again on 14
what was your problem with moroes
he's not very complicated
pull one at a time, dodge their stuff or kick them, kill then pull another
i just did it wrong in 2 of the ways you would imagine
one pull before traps are out, 2 forget to break traps, 3 we break the traps after someone explains it to me, we kill the boss
i have to look up the order i break them in, is the issue
tricky boss i have to just remember to do the thing next time
something like yesterday was case i was clear head, today not at all
Got 304 boots in my vault so I dropped leggo boots and made the spell reflect leggo for my neck. How bad will that suck? Lol
Dropping reprisal? Uh huge loss
Yeah, haven't tried it in a key yet, but could def tell a difference in timewalking
I mean if you don't do very big keys you can play whatever you want, you'll be alright
But if you're trying to be powerful there's almost no ilvl upgrade that's worth dropping a legendary
can you solo soak huntsman on a 20 tyrannical?
Depends if you get the mortal strike debuff on you or not I would imagine. Just get a hunter/rogue/mage to immune soak with you
soleah or remote guidance to go with ows. i like explosions but that haste is amazing too
Yes you can for 3 phases at least
1st : shield wall + spell reflect
2nd : fleshcraft + spell reflect (tricky part is to be at the end of the cast of fleshcraft for the max bubble value + having the 20% DR)
3rd : last stand + aegis + spell reflect (depending on gear and/or if the MS debuff is still on you this one is rough)
But if you had lust on pull there are high chance that you have shiekd wall for the 3rd one instead of last stand
Huge disappointment 😦
Outlevel the legs/chest. Wrist is my legendary slot, have 2 mechagon rings with haste + avoidance, running with Fusion Hacker and wont even get to Codex. Any thoughts? Tips? Help me! 😄
you can always take sockets, depending on the item level of your rings
I mean, it sounds like your gear is already pretty good, nothing exciting here so a big sockets week is nothing to be too sad about
Fusion Hacker is nothing special so if the anima spherule would get you a higher ilvl weapon then that's good too
That's 100% a socket pick
if you don't want the belt, then it's socket, everything else is worthless
My biggest concern was that i saw some prot warriors near the top using legendary on ring + gambit ring. Was wondering why they switched to that rather than staying with the Mechagon rings. At this point im not sure if Mechagon rings are endgame material 😄
Shield
can get shield from dreadlords and i really like defence matrix tho
Can get rdm from vendor
i have HC version
Upgrade it?
can't gonna prio dps gear
Why exactly did you ask the question
For me to tell rdm
And you be happy about passing a 311 shield?
Shield is a bigger Def upgrade, can Sim for dmg
damn maybe you are right and i should just get a shield
Why do you prio upgrading dps gear (presumably for raid) when you're already on farm? 
Because DPS brain needs those big logs
this hahahaa
Pah
You realise parses are scuffed cuz of affixes
If you don't have motes on the boss you can't parse
och absolutly
Whenever its motes you go ham on them and that's your parse money these days 
I asked to exclude them from logs but it does contribute to the success of the raid so they left it in
Parsing in s4 is a meme
Motes are the reason why I'm still r4 on sylvanas hc despite not having done her last week 
u wont be a previous week where u had motes on a boss
i dunno why i was having trouble in lower yesterday, must have been outside forces.
people die to the first boss alot is what i notice the one with flashy and dreary bolts, that seems easy enough, put 3 interrupters on flashy (including you), 2 on dreary, and then just try to reflect dreary's if you can
the problem more was the main wipe mechanic magic magnificence, i dunno if its that there is not enough purple smoke spring pads for each player, but people just randomly fall over to that ability and we start to go behind.
85 leech or 2 sockets from vault what do?
imo leech
i have 0 leech atm if that makes a difference
Sockets
I'm guessing shield? I can get RDM with a dinar, but I would like to get Jaithys with my last one :/
if u don't have shield or weapon at that ilvl always above all
yeah, that's what I was thinking
nothing else to take into account at all, literally your best in slot item
shiled it is then
The season is like halfway done, maybe 3/4th done
So pick whatever makes you happy tbh, tmog lasts forever
bigger shield easier get in group to farm transmog :)
codex 
afternoon champs. Does anyone have a second counter or WA for that first add in lower/upper? when it cast that "hidden" ability which u can SR. Should`ve done the math myself but always forget
It's better to not pull them at all
That is true good sir. But when someone tends to pull
Then let them die
And res them after
Pulling those is a huge timewaste and extreme danger to the tank
so i heard someone say we only use 1 lego now for high keys. isthat true or just random talk
What
If you heard pigs can fly would you trust?
whats the logic on that
Someone said it

like if you hear someone say that
you really only need to use 1 brain cell to realise how stupid that is
It let's you run 5 piece teir maybe
well someone can say it
i can also say u should wear cloth armour
doesnt mean im correct
you can say whatever yeah
this is why i come to ask the masters
"You should wear cloth armor" - jakey, 2022
You can also use your brain
if you got a doubt do you sit on it or ask to someone that knows. or maybe act like a retard and make fun of a question? lol
it is tho. druids do it cuz one of their legos is useless
Imagine i go ask in a discord
but you wouldnt know that. youre just trying to live your 5 minutes lol
What
Are
You
Talking about
see you dont even know that lol
top druid running 2 leggos
resto druids besides unity for raids is literally 2.5% more chance of another rejuv
point is asking cuz you dont know is a thing.
Use unity as necro in keys
top 10 restos on io are using double leggo
🤔
stange if it was better u would think they all would be wearing 1
Trust me
Guys what healers are we cohesive w/ in m+. A monk last night just couldn't heal me at all and I was using ignore pain like a mofo with rolling cds
i have a codex 304 in vault but i use OWS 285 and defend matrix 291 is the cordex worth ...
Shouldnt need any healing
It was a 12 and I ran 15s just fine with palis and priests
I'm going to do something I don't often do, and.... link subcreation.
Never
I'm 292olvl
if they're running one leggo, they're not doing anything above +27 or it'd show in this list
codex garbo right ?
Yes
alright guess another random shit other people does
in that kind of key level assuming you play properly you should not need a healer; this is a case where you log a key, bring hte log, and we figure out why you're struggling
Healer shouldnt look at you
(especially since if not, you'll just be at the mercy of this all the way through)
a lot of people spout dumb shit; like, the resto thing you've mentioned is a couple of mid-tier players thinking that the unity effect isn't worth 13 ilvl, which is in itself baffling. Sure, necro unity isn't anything to write home about, but it's still completely free throughput, offensive and defensive
(and it's definitely worth 13 ilvl on a piece)
thats fair. and thanks for the answer. instead of the fucking monkey shit that came before lol
Its just about using the brain
subcreation isn't good for much, but in this case it was useful
Ones that cast healing spells mostly
Is the only go to legendary Reprisal or is something else viable ?
only repisal
Reprisal is heads and shoulders above everything else in performance
sadge
if my leech is overhealing and i drop a bit, that wouldnt affect overall throughput right?
like your healing throughput?
Uhhhh
I think details doesn't care about overhealin on its healing meters but wowlogs does
u were talking about tier set not legos u can skip 4set on resto druid as its bonus is not necessary in m+
Tbh idk tho. I doubt the time you spend overhealing with leech will have a significant impact on your overall assuming you're actively tanking though
If that's the case thr question is way less dumb, but the answer is still no we play 4pc
Yogi you here? You hit 2k last night?
ye obviously xD
Raven eidilon trinket?
Didn't even know it existed until 5 secs ago 😒
nah, i wouldnt
Yogi if you're ever looking for a mage for your tank runs lmk
I'll be your hero(ism button) baby! Bahaha
I think my mage and your war are probably running the same range of keys
whenever i was running the junkyard, the mage got upset at me one point because "why did i grab (intervne) him"
any tips on how to macro intervene ?
Lol
Leech doesn't overheal
mouseover or focus target w/e u prefer
Leech procs in 1second intervals and only if you can actually get healed
Mouse overs imo
If you're full HP leech doesn't proc
I have intervene bound to a key combo and click a unit frame
It's not the most optimal, but works well for me
So the only overhealing that occurs is when you're 99.9% hp and leech procs
Or I'll click a player near me, depending what I'm doing and where I am
It's the current "worst trinket in the game"
I usually use unit frames and click on their name
I see. Sorta assumed it would be codex level bad.
I do the same but with a mouseover macro, cant be clicking unit frames middle of tanking 😛
what would you pick between a weapon and BiS trinket? I already have aegis though
the answer is obvious
weapon, and i'd replace aegis with something that does dmg as well
aegis is not needed outside like +28s
I would be worried if you said otherwise
Not like you need anything else on tank
Aegis ows rdm
Maybe gavel for finishes
Funsies
scars 
ty, I'll take the sword then
So close!
bring hunter, bring warlock, hold W
Right around the corner!
Lol
seismic reverberation is also an option for lower keys 🙂
It’s not the best but it works
I keep my frames closer to the center so it’s easier
if you don't raid take a weapon
i got 17 upper dont eally need it or want to do it but can try again later
You could join a pug and swap it at the end to see if you get something better
Feels good when the weekly 1 key rat vaults are good
Maybe we can get a good 29 out of this, if not we done for the week 
wdym weekly no leaver
Damn. And here I am happy that I've finally got 20s from mine
I mean the weekly no leaver thing is more meant regarding the affixes, not the key itself
teeming bolstering was the ultimate troll tbh
very few things compare
Storming + shrouded.. I'll never hit a single ability 
Means I won't touch gd this week on my warrior
I'll get knocked by storming into a sleeping puddle in a sanguine puddle and die
Calling it right now
The best part about sanguine is dps crying to move turreting casters from puddles
Oh I didn't consider sleep under sanguine

The enemy mobs casting, not the friendly mobs casting rof
back pedal with SB up when you see a mob in excute range, or be preparted to rather
takes small amount intuition, but its easy
wdym, just ulitmateform
Is there anything more annoying than having 301 items?
missing a title cutoff by 1 point
title for having all 304's?
No title for being too .1% io
is streets good this week? i'd be a little worried about boss 2/3 of trio fight, i could pug into that and get 50 score
streets is one of the most free dungeons this rotation besides jy maybe i think youll be fine
Only first part is hard
it doesn't look like this 16 upper is going to give me much of anything
Just do a streets
Hi Guys, I just decided to make warrior alt for keys around level +20. For trinkets, I am planning to get OWS and RDM from dinars but it will take me 4+ weeks and SoD fated just ended. What would be some viable option to farm from m+ for prot warrior till I get OWS and RDM? I thought about Grenade from ID but dunno if it is right choice and what would be the second one
Solehs is one decent one
The only m+ trinkets that are vaguely wearable are soleahs and grenade
Hey guys, another warrior alt here. Question: do i want to hold banner until last stand is up or pop it if LS is down and line the next one up with last stand? I'm sure there are situations where you have to make a decision based on feel but in general...
You should be able to hold banner for 1 minute
Ideally you have banner up for all combat
If you play well you can have 100% uptime on banner regardless of LS usage
if banner isnt up but LS is, you hold LS until banner isready again
if banner is up but LS isnt you send banner (unless it would drop due to forced downtime)
got it, makes sense
You basically never hold banner
The only time I’d hold banner is if there’s RP coming up in the next 30 seconds
and even then I might just send it
Thanks @chrome falcon @undone verge !
nothing quite like the bare minimum eh
could do classic or retail raid maybe
whats important is i got the mount and if i quit, i'd never have it
yeah, quite literally the bare minimum
Grats man!
Hell yeah dude! Way to go
To quote one of the greatest poets of our age:
"it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning"
grats!
this season, on my way to 2k, i was at 1980-ish, went to 1992, then 1996, then 1998, and then 1999... i wanted to lose my shit lol, we never got the keys we actually needed so it was just faster times
congrats on the 2k!
Yogi your next goal should totally be to get the orange raiting (2200)
ive actually been wanting to push a bit more myself tbh, but these last couple weeks have had just shit affixes
havent cared enough to bother during them
I’ve been playing new tanks these last 3 weeks
It’s been rough
i leveled some toons to 60 and then abadoned them on alliance
Playing another tank besides warrior or druid gives me anxiety
Because their health actually moves
I tried a dk last year. I wasn't feeling it at all
only blood dk for me maybe frost if i gotta do dps
I tried DK in season 3, I just found in super boring ngl
i don't much like unholy
Veng is more fun for me especially in the healing aspect
Paladin seems fun
In s2 a dude I ran with had a paladin tank. His paladin was so much stronger than I was on the warrior
completely resonate with this one
Playing bear gives me anxiety, I just feel like I can’t press enough buttons
And then when I need my buttons they’re on cd
I think it might just be my low haste value
I enjoyed Vampibur early on
Every 3 min be immortal
But kinda dropped off playing anything but war
Whats a better trinket soleahs with haste or the remote guidance system trinket
is that the motorbike?
Yeah I just picked up old Warriors soldier so I'm trying to see which one to swap out with. I wasn't sure if simming it is safe because one is damaged and 1 is haste.
then i would prefer stats but if u like your bike play that
like its not bad not good dmg and has str i would rather run soleahs tho
Cool thanks man I'm trying to get a grip on how haste works with our class defensively and offensively.
I figured sols was the way to go as haste will help me out defensively and offensively
u want a lot of haste
All our stats work both ways, haste just is the number one because our sb uptime is crucial
well and resource generation
And warriors have a wrist brace fetish so we like apm high enough to induce carpal tunnel
prot warri is all about generating and then spending as much rage as possible to get the feedback loop going
whilst obv keeping up your block

Pwar is basically just play as offensive as you can rn and I love it
i might just need to make a WA that whenever spell reflect goes on me, it puts a single message in chat "don't intterupt the bolt spell at the tank!" my main addon for anouncing spells, RSA doesn't do it. tried to leave a message in that persons discord explaining and asking for a change.
way too many time ppl just interrupt, interuprt, and its like, welp, no reflect for me
I've seen people with addons to announce when they use sr
I need an addon that removed interrupt from the dps' bar when I use spell reflect
#showtooltip Pummel
/cast Pummel
/y spell reflecting dont interrupt that shit
Also don't forget to reflect vampiric strike from the shroud dudee
it does announce it, it just only does it on damage, resist or debuff
and so, i turned it on in WCM one time, and reflected some curse thingy around 3 witches boss, or on the boss and the addon was set for damage put a message, so it decided to go apetshit and spam our group
put like 40 messages in chat in 10 seconds
so, it's always turned off for that specific spell, and i've just never reached out to this person till today.
i got my KSM
today is retirement
i don't understand why i should push to 2200, besides orange socre
then dont
what scoe are u
you dont wanna know
i do
you think u do but you dont
ur probably 3.5k each season for last 3
impossible to be 3.5k except for S3
+20s is what i mean
that's a given
yeah, doesn't bother me if ur 400 or 4000
why ask?
well, since you seem averse to telling me your score, i will now assume low
but if you were better, maybe i could talk to you about keys and such
you easily find it
i don't kow if thats your thing or not
i think if i really tried i could do 3k or whatever 20's is
but, it'd probably be a bad time
i've decided to put aside my disagreements with you if i can get something useful from you like knowledge.
if you said you have a score north of 2k, i could trust what you say
what
cuz you've done it
that makes 0 sense
you do a drivers test and you get a drivers liscence when you suceed
if you've done it, i can ask you questions about specific crap on specific boss/trash mechanics and do better
first learn how to use cars analogies
second I could CBA playing
and still know more than you
or play 10x more and have higher score
and not know anything
i wouldn't take my car to a grocery store to get fixed
so score means shit
because the cashiers of grocery store don't know how to fix a car
what are you talking about
seriously stop using cars analogies
I don't tell my score to people exactly because of what you are doing
you only take advice from people above you
that's just wrong
just because they have lower score doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about
this conversation is so bizarre
people push up their scores because they want to have high scores
that's it
or the reverse. Just because they have higher score doesn't mean they know what they are talking about
i'm trying to work out if your good to go to for reliable key information since you seem to know lots about the game
I'm really confused on what you are trying to say
cuz, i see you online alot, and if i can work at getting better doing better talking with you why not?
what do you think i'm trying to do/say
put it that way, put the ball in your court what your taking home here
look
ask questions if you want answers
if he tells you really bad answers, other people would call him on it
otherwise it seems like his advice is fine
if i can't explain it to you, you don't get it, and thats totally fine
you can't because the logic is dumb dumb
you dont reject peoples opinion
because they have lower score than you
that's being elitist
it's not 100% but it's reasonable to trust the advice of someone with 3k score over the advice of someone with 1500 score
obviously don't be an elitist weirdo
and also sometimes people get carried
both can say the same thing
they can say dif things
and you ask a third person
to find who is telling the truth
instead of going the 3k said so, 1.5k is wrong
it's the entire convo of codex as example
tatt said it was good
every follower andy
accepted as true
and when someone said otherwise they go "what's your io"
it was gear score before
and before that it was what level are you
we didn't start the fire
score means shit for knowledge
ok sure i see what you're pushing back against
you keep it burning
I could tell you my rio to prove my point
but CBA
still, it's one marker among hopefully many that a person has at least some experience doing what they're claiming knowledge in, it's just not a sure marker of being smart
same as like, the one star player doesn't necessarily know everything about the sport
anyway weird conversation. especially because we give you advice all the time yogi
i like to keep things positive, cro likes to dunk on me for anything and everything, hoped to find some common ground
its not meant to be an aggressive move sorry
I didn't take it as aggressive
io isn't simply a CV thing to make opinions valid or not
well, okay, if i ask questions and you happen to answer i'll take what you said into mind and try it a few times in runs, until if i see it does or doesn't work
how does one actually get to tazavesh w/o a summon
oribos, flight path, SW
do intro quest and then you have a flightpath
oh right, have to do a very short quest chain, less than 5-10 quest
open to interpretation really without source art and story behind it
If you look at it you can see the the legs
what the fuck am I even supposed to be looking at
itws a puppy
mount, thats a mount, some secret ignore pain mount....
that, or its a poorly rendered upscale of a scanned image that vaugely resembles a dog if you squint the rgiht way, like how you can se a boat in the clouds outside.
@ everyone, please do not announce to the server that you are going to go masterbate
I can’t type for 5 hours 
I know I will be missed, my great contributions to the Ret pally discord
ez
@strong forum its happening
he probably dead asleep
7 hrs ahead of me ti ezones and already 11 here, maybehe wake up early
i can upgrade fatescribe or nine trinket to heroic which should I? im doing 25+
nine trinket 1000%
Pretty good
offensively pretty decent, you have to work to make sure you're getting max benefit though
hmm. ill use it im 4fun keys then
Question, what do warriors do to mitigate shared sufferings in Lower?
Spell reflect, Demo shout, shield wall, ignore pain, last stand
Avatar also mitigates
All the dr 
does a dps have to pop a defensive with you or can you solo it with SW and demo?
Can solo everytime you have SW up
For the other ones you gotta cycle trinkets externals and LS and stuff iirc
Even with the mortal strike debuff @strong forum
Well the mortal strike debuff only reduces healing taken
You should be 100%hp for every shared suffering
thats why i was also wondering
ye i died there once when i thought i was super fine and i think it was due to it
Then you gotta heroic leap out of shared suffering for the debuff to drop
pray for parry
That 15% chance
He'll recast shared suffering, but it should give you enough breathing room to drop the debuff

31% for me 
That's gonna be so bad
Cuz you're gonna get used to it, and then lose tierset in DF
And suddenly your outburst does only 50% of what it did just a few days ago
Looking as we only have 5 points in the bottom row in prepatch
All 5 are kinda obvious
Unless its been moved more then i know

Ahh ok thanks for that
can you make a macro so i only have to press it and it will /use armour kits on your chest piece
or do you have to select it every time
Hmmmm, so I've been doing it all wrong not taking devastator... Just feels strange, but I'll change.

Hopefully my pocket healer will notice, not that they've had any complaints in the content we've done so far on my return to tanking.
Uh unlikely, but you yourself will notice an increase in dps and banner uptime (assuming you do play banner)
I actually put him in bastion and enjoyed it so far, and I won't be pushing content that would require the switch to necro to do well.
