cuz none of his tanks have played prot since then

patent osprey
#

it's too broad to show a good picture

cobalt seal
#

well

#

depends on who is doing them

#

there is tier lists and tier lists

undone verge
#

Isn’t it usually just brew+meta tank

jagged pier
#

brew is always a meta tank for prog

#

just off how stagger works

#

and their tier is fucking giga busted makes it even better

steep condor
#

Is this macro correct?

#showtooltip /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@target,help,nodead]Intervene;[@mouseover,harm,nodead][]Charge

warm plinth
#

The only thing that won't do is charge a mouseover if you have a friendly targeted

#

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead]Intervene;[@mouseover,harm,nodead]Charge;[@target,help,nodead]Intervene;Charge
would be a better way to do it to eliminate all scenarios

steep condor
#

thanks

trim bay
warm plinth
#

If you have no target or mouseover, then it makes sense that it would show that. Because Intervene is the first spell in the macro so it defaults to that tooltip/icon. Price you have to pay for weird macros like that lol

trim bay
#

ahh ok

#

that makes sense. thanks

clear geyser
#

Do people usually play with different aggro colors for DPS and tanking? This is how plater profiles usually seems to be but it throws me off.

warm plinth
#

Can you elaborate? What do you mean by different aggro colors

small coral
#

so it’s DF prot gonna be the tits?

clear geyser
warm plinth
#

Oh. I think they do that because red = bad generally in people's minds

#

Since having aggro as DPS is bad, but not having aggro for tanks is bad

#

But you should make it whatever helps you identify the situation easier/more efficiently. If it's easier for your brain to have them the same, then make them the same

clear geyser
#

Thanks yea that makes sense I was jw if I was missing something

#

@warm plinth

#

you wanna help me gear a rookie warrior that starts with a B and ends with an O?

#

xD

#

or are you blasting classic like COUGHLATECOUGH

#

excuse me

warm plinth
#

I am not playing classic. I stick by my convictions unlike you sir πŸ˜‚

lusty grotto
#

well

#

you know im in retail πŸ™‚

#

tbf i have to do the DK bullshit for that mount

#

im scared

warm plinth
#

Also I'm supposed to hear back on a possible position change at work that'll mean a lot to my availability

#

So I'm gonna say maybe for now

lusty grotto
#

xD

#

im just playing

#

im doing keys with bull

#

he needs a lot of gear

warm plinth
#

Bull is stll playing?

lusty grotto
urban portal
#

Only as arms

cosmic basin
#

Guys, what's the weapon we wanna be using from M+? Fusion Hacker or Tearing Sawtooth Blade?

lusty grotto
#

hacker is better for ST

#

sawtooth better for aoe

#

iirc

#

but honestly it's whichever is highest ilvl

#

i suppose if you have both available you can equip one or the other depending if its tyrannical or fortified week

#

im using hacker right now cause i havent had a single sawtooth drop

#

i could be wrong about this, so wait until someone else replies before you take it as a fact

#

the only fact there is that highest ilvl trumps everything else

warm plinth
#

@ionic fern hi ily

#

@potent anvil @shut summit hello friends, hope you are having a wonderful day deswind

ionic fern
#

How are you this evening?

warm plinth
#

I'm doing ok. Nearing the end of the workday deswind

ionic fern
#

I just started mine. 😦

warm plinth
#

I was trying to get KSM on my druid this week but pugs were interesting to say the least πŸ‘€

ionic fern
#

Jeah, it's..horrible.

warm plinth
#

I joined a 16 lower kara, and I was top DPS when we got to opera, and then only I and the ret pal knew the defy gravity mechanic so half the group would die every time it went off πŸ˜‚

ionic fern
#

Solid.

#

Thats been my experience with LK as well.

#

Regardless of which Opera it is..people still fail.

warm plinth
#

Yeah, Wikket is so easy now too. I figured we would at least make it to Moroes or Attumen lol

ionic fern
#

πŸ˜‚

#

Don't even get me started with the Horseman. Healers not dispelling..DPS'ers dying to Shared Suffering.

#

Ugh

#

Too many gimped keys

warm plinth
#

Yeah, you really start to see the disconnect in DPS knowledge when you go back to the dungeons that have more personal responsibility

ionic fern
#

Un-ironically these are my Lower Karas

warm plinth
#

Yikes!

ionic fern
#

This season.

ionic fern
#

Give DPS as little to do as possible please.

warm plinth
#

There's a WA I found that's for Kel'Thuzad on classic. I was gonna try to fiddle with it and make it work for Shade

ionic fern
#

So i can enjoy the game as a tank.

warm plinth
#

It does like kick calling

ionic fern
#

No,no.
We all know that DPS'ers don't have that bound.

warm plinth
#

πŸ˜‚

ionic fern
#

Just give me 5 interrupts and 0 to the DPS'ers.

warm plinth
#

We have a guy that runs with us fairly often and we asked him to dispel something once, and he was like I don't have dispel bound; it doesn't do DPS

ionic fern
#

I'll take care of everything

#

Plz Blizz.

warm plinth
#

WTB gag order

ionic fern
warm plinth
#

Oh well, I will have to do a few keys next week but should be able to get KSM. Need a weapon more than anything else anyway; my druid is still rocking a 278 from last season

#

and a 272 scale 😱

ionic fern
#

Oo,hei

#

I still got a 278 weapon as well.

#

And a 246 OWS.

warm plinth
#

We're huge

ionic fern
#

I haven't done any keys recently tho.

#

πŸ‘€

warm plinth
#

Do you think you'll be more active in Dragonflight?

ionic fern
#

Jeah.

#

I'm going to be raiding again.

#

And hopefully pushing keys.

warm plinth
#

I am supposed to hear back about a promotion this week. If I get it, I should be able to raid next tier

ionic fern
#

Lets hope you get it then. okayge

warm plinth
#

Yeah, there's some stiff competition so I'm not getting my hopes up, but I have a good chance

ionic fern
#

I've skipped all the raids this expansion. πŸ‘€
Outside of doing some bosses for the Legendaries

warm plinth
#

I did uh...heroic Nathria, heroic Sanctum, and like 3/10 Sanctum. Only did LFR this tier and last though

ionic fern
#

LFR is harder than NM.

#

You're wild.

warm plinth
#

I did it really early so it was all the better people just doing it for dinar lol

#

Can't bring myself to go through it on alts though, especially after the stories I've heard from people

ionic fern
#

Jeah.

#

I wanted to play an alt.

#

But then i realised all the crap i gotta do..again.

#

So i just ditched the idea.

warm plinth
#

I'm playing 4 toons right now, but only did LFR on my rogue for EoN. The rest are just going with what they got

ionic fern
#

I'm only "playing" my warrior.

#

4 toons feels wayyy too much.

#

Well, i guess if you're not up-keeping them all it's fine.

warm plinth
#

Yeah I'm just doing like 1 key a week usually.

mortal brook
#

oh man that's like top 100 bear

ionic fern
#

πŸ˜‚

#

At least you're higher ilvl than me.

warm plinth
#

I'm yuge

warm plinth
#

In reality though I'm not even top 100 druid tanks on my realm lol

ionic fern
#

Just go Alliance.

#

Everyone knows that the only ranking that matters is Realm/Faction.

#

See.

#

I'm Rank 9 Horde on my heavily Alliance dominated realm.

warm plinth
#

:kekw

#

I'm 121 on my realm on horde-side and 130 overall

ionic fern
#

πŸ˜‚

#

Oh damn

#

I just noticed

#

I'm actually higher io than you.

warm plinth
#

πŸ‘€

#

For now mwahahahaha

lusty grotto
#

im number #3 prot in my realm lmaooooo

ionic fern
#

πŸ˜‚

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

i see how it is

warm plinth
#

Oh shit, blasting

lusty grotto
#

getting ready for DF mwahi?

ionic fern
#

Yes.

#

I'm getting ready by doing guides and SIMC updates.

warm plinth
#

I honestly have no freakin idea what I'm going to play in DF

#

I just know it's not going to be evoker

ionic fern
#

Which i'm postponing to the last possible moment.

lusty grotto
#

wait when did you start doing keys though i thought you were upset about pugging

ionic fern
#

So i can get angry with myself.

#

But not learn from it.

lusty grotto
#

btw

ionic fern
#

I really haven't.

lusty grotto
#

hmm

ionic fern
#

I'm doing like max 1-2 keys per week if any.

warm plinth
#

Just gotta rock the 1 key a week man

#

Own that shit

lusty grotto
#

for true

#

all i gotta say

#

never pick the hunter that's not surv

#

its 500% them every time

warm plinth
#

I'm starting to steer clear of fury warriors too

lusty grotto
#

BM/Marks i dont care if they have sylvanas bow, they ALWAYS fuck up

warm plinth
#

Had two in a row now that are doing like 7k overall

lusty grotto
#

hmm ive had good fury at least

warm plinth
#

I'm good fury war

#

Wow that sticker is fucking cursed

lusty grotto
#

for real, a BM hunter ruined a 20 gambit last week and ive been malding about it

warm plinth
#

I'd probably be 299 on my warrior if I had like 3 upgrades

#

still have 3 272 items

#

er, 278

#

What did he do

lusty grotto
#

and today just body pulls all around from these hunters

#

uhh

#

so you know the standard giant + double dread route right?

warm plinth
#

Mmhm

lusty grotto
#

going right etc

#

ok so we did that, then cleared to triple pull

#

this guy sat on lust

#

lock was angry as fuck

#

this was fort week mind you

#

then we skipped guardians, someones pot ran out and died so this hunter feigned and afked while heals rezzed us

#

stayed afk for 5 mins

warm plinth
#

Oh boy

lusty grotto
#

so we just started boss

#

guy died to beam i guess? and started saying I CANT RELEASE

warm plinth
#

No shit you can't release lol what

lusty grotto
#

no shit sherlock we're doing the boss lol

#

right

#

then he absolutely did not lust on pirates

#

lusted pirate dragon mommy or w/e

mortal brook
#

all part of the route hmmNod

lusty grotto
#

scratching our heads honestly

#

yeah that wasnt the problem though steve lmao

warm plinth
#

I actually skipped the trash before chess in an upper, and the warrior didn't have invis pot but decided to die like way the fuck at the bottom

#

And the shaman was like I hate this skip

lusty grotto
#

bro

warm plinth
#

Like if everyone has a pot it's literally idiot proof

lusty grotto
#

oh yeah

warm plinth
#

There's just always that one guy that either doesn't have an invis pot or they think they can stealth past

lusty grotto
#

another hunter this week decided to pull dread there cause "sees invis"

#

i was like dude i just got past it

#

idk if they're used to failing shrouds or something lmao

warm plinth
#

Same warrior literally got to boss as fast as possible in p3 so he could kick it

lusty grotto
#

...

#

lmaoo

#

that sounds really bad

warm plinth
#

At that point I was like...whatever. I had incarn so I just thrash spammed to victory

#

I think I was 3rd on dps in that run actually :kekw

mortal brook
#

πŸ₯‰

lusty grotto
#

if only you were prot

warm plinth
#

I don't have gavel either, but don't tell Steve because he'll be disappointed

lusty grotto
#

you would have been last cause the fury warrior would kick every reflect

#

LMAO

mortal brook
#

that is fine

#

not having Cache tho

warm plinth
#

I don't have that either :pepehands

#

Oh that reminds me

#

That warrior had gavel

#

A heroic one

#

like 7k overall dps

lusty grotto
#

yikes

#

i mean he could be trying fury out or something

mortal brook
#

good trinket

warm plinth
#

Seems okay

mortal brook
#

that was a 278 one iirc

#

temple of sethrallis M+ so i can get Fang back when

warm plinth
#

I just don't have the mental fortitude to do LFR enough to get anything else

mortal brook
#

that is fine

lusty grotto
#

that is a good name steve

mortal brook
#

not like any bears are getting m+ title anyways

lusty grotto
#

thestevebear

#

i approve

mortal brook
#

ty

lusty grotto
#

its almost as good as Nimchipadin

warm plinth
#

Why aren't you getting title Steve

mortal brook
#

no bear is getting title

#

literally 5+ keys behind

mortal brook
warm plinth
#

Yeah the discrepancy in meta vs non meta this season is actually nuts

lusty grotto
#

you mean the 20s title?

warm plinth
#

No, the .1% title

#

There is no 20s title

mortal brook
#

there is no 20s title. the shrouded hero .1% seasonal title

lusty grotto
#

i didnt even know that was a thing lmao

mortal brook
#

has been for 3 seasons now

lusty grotto
#

ah well

warm plinth
#

Except this season I think it's overall instead of separated between factions

mortal brook
#

regional

#

cuz xfaction

warm plinth
#

Blood DK is fine though

#

Think last I checked, 105 BDKs were getting title

#

And that was before the last push week

mortal brook
#

all other tanks will have ppl that title

#

just not bear

lusty grotto
#

i believe

#

in thestevebear

mortal brook
#

nah, no pushing for me

#

i have enjoyed the season to the extent i wanted

lusty grotto
#

it was a good season to come back to for sure, on my end

#

some dungeons are still whack but at least the gearing process was very good

warm plinth
#

mm, I think the dinar thing can go to hell personally

#

Incentivizing raiding is no bueno from my perspective

lusty grotto
#

idk

#

i liked it

#

but that's only cause raiding loot is better, which is the wrong design logic

#

kinda is the root of the problem

warm plinth
#

Like if you raid then it's cool but if you don't then it's not, because these gimmick items are too strong

lusty grotto
#

yea

warm plinth
#

Like I simmed a normal gavel for my warrior against his 278 offhand and it's literally like 900 DPS in single target

jagged pier
#

great so u do LFR get 10 dinars

#

anmd can buy a normal gavel

warm plinth
#

I don't want to do LFR

jagged pier
#

gg 900 dps

lusty grotto
#

but what about people that dont like to raid

jagged pier
#

yes because LFR is really raiding

lusty grotto
#

that's kinda beside the point

warm plinth
#

It's still time that I have to spend doing something I don't want to do

lusty grotto
#

whether you consider it piss easy or not doesnt mean its not raiding

#

its a time investment that could have been spent doing the content you enjoy etc

#

oh whoops

warm plinth
#

Not sure you can say it's not raiding anyway since it's literally called Looking For RAID

wintry nymph
#

LFR Raiding is harder than mythic difficulty

lusty grotto
#

i totally typed that without reading what you said ghash lmao

mortal brook
#

ngl 900 dps is like 1 key level difference anyways

wintry nymph
#

but not because of the bosses

warm plinth
#

It might be easy raiding but it's still raiding

jagged pier
#

okay i like raiding

mortal brook
#

heckin whatever if you dont do it

jagged pier
#

but i have to do 8 m+ a week

#

and i hate m+

warm plinth
#

That's also a problem

jagged pier
#

i know

lusty grotto
#

yeah

jagged pier
#

but i dont bitch about it

#

i just do it

warm plinth
#

Good for you

lusty grotto
#

i dont think hes bitching about it, we're just talking

warm plinth
#

I do bitch about it, because Blizzard needs to know it's not what people like myself want

lusty grotto
#

ok i stand corrected

wintry nymph
warm plinth

warm plinth
#

It's also why I got EoN on my rogue because I do push on that toon

My brightest memory of LFR is when we failed the DPS check on Fallen Avatar and all the platforms broke.

blazing condor
#

oops

#

my only real memories of LFR was in dragon soul when it came out

#

otherwise ive just zzz'd through it

grave wedge
#

Do you guys think it's worth it to use it dinar on a shield. The highest I'm pushing this season is heroic is heroic so I planned on purchasing an upgrading the dread Lord shield with my 2nd dinar. I personally believe that the drop rate on any children this game is less than 1% based off of my own experience. I'm currently running the one off of Terragrue at 278. Is there something I should 100% save that 2nd dinar for.

lofty widget
#

Wouldnt waste a dinar on shield that Will cap at 298, but also season is over very soon so if you dont think youll drop one from m+ before then it could probably be good

#

And then use third dinar on rdm or something

grave wedge
#

Ty. Is trying to farm what I can for the most part. The goal is to be able to save the last dinar for the gavel so I can mess around in an off speck. I have friends who also like to tank. . I think maybe I'll give it one more week of shield farming before I break down and buy it

blazing condor
#

whats the plan for rest of SL

Hi, am got my dinar today. I got a old soul from HC Sanctim. What do I get with the coin ?

question is if i go back for DF

bronze locust
#

On Attumen, is there a particular reason the whole group doesn't soak shared suffering? There are a lot of accidental deaths and mess-ups

sick sentinel
#

i can see that boss being a huge wall on keys above a 20 tyranical

old sinew
blazing condor
#

hella damage to split

#

depends on what keys youre doing though

#

if youre doing <20 you can probably just soak it

bronze locust
#

Well coming from an overtimed +18, yeah. Soaking seemed easier, but there's been mistakes all over the fight until I got lucky evading it in every phase

#

Kind of demotivating to practice this boss for a 1h dungeon

#

So I can pretty reliably leap out for the first suffering attempt, one time he recast it before remounting, and my mouseover intervene wouldn't work for some reason

blazing condor
#

dont think you can leap it anymore (according to wowhead)

bronze locust
#

one time I was pretty late, my corpse went flying out of the ring, funny sight :p

blazing condor
#

cus he'll just keep casting it until it hits at least one player

bronze locust
#

Yeah aware of the recast and there's a priority between mortal strike and shared suffering

deft oar
#

if it's sub 20 just solo soak it all the time, it's shadow damage so ..

old sinew
blazing condor
#

okayge didnt know. just read off of wowhead

old sinew
#

Wowhead writers don’t know what they’re talking about.

blazing condor
#

it was a comment even

#

so

old sinew
#

They get their information from class discord trolls kekw

blazing condor
#

like me B)

cobalt seal
#

You know you can extend the phase right?

#

Right?

#

He switches back to horse when it gets healed to full

#

If you have healing debuff on him

#

The phase will last longer than 20

gloomy vortex
#

So what is the tactic for this above 20 then? We can’t soak alone

strong forum
#

You can have SW for every single shared suffering

#

It's close, but you can have it

#

And other than that, you can outrun it with banner and 1 or 2 speed gems

#

Or just heroic leap / intervene

ionic fern
#

Make a /EquipSpeedSet macro.

strong forum
#

I wish 😦

old sinew

#

Speaking of speed. My mage got 2 items with bonus stat of speed, and now has 12 percent

#

It's very noticeable. I think probably around 9 to 10 is where you may notice the increase

Hey beginner here. Whats a good uptime on Banner, Ignore Pain and Shield Block in dungeons?

new to prot. How much overall is descent?

lofty widget
#

15-20k?

pallid quiver
#

You'll want to specify for which dungeon

#

It varies per dungeon pretty decently

gaunt turret
#

upper/workshop

lofty widget
#

ws is probably 15-17k, upper can be close to 20k with proper SR usage

pallid quiver
#

Upper's also hard because of said SR usage; it scales very heavily with key level due to how much damage leverage you can get from SR in Upper

trim bay
#

its hard if your retarded group kicks

#

or moves in before the pawn dies to bait royal slash

#

nah most the reflectable stuff isnt kickable

over 60 percent of your SR dmg

Warriors get more loyalty from people I speak to than any other spec/class i can think of. It's the class people have played for many years and seem to stick to. Why is that? This is from someone who is in two minds between brew and prot warrior.

#

We ain’t got the wrinkles to figure anything else out

Because once you have done log diving into your own warrior gameplay you realize it is the best spec

i'm convinced botanist's plant ability in WS does nothing

#

he's (botanist) the scariest thing in that entire dungeon except for p2 magnet arm final boss, says it does something (namely catch fire) if it hits the fire sticks

#

17k as prot in WS, what am I doing wrong, did 12k last time I was in there as prot.

#

Ilvl 290, lvl 15 dungeon.

#

literally no way to know without a log

urban portal
#

shouldve had more crit

#

I guess I'll dive into more research. Been back for about two weeks and just assumed that was OK damage

pull more aggressively

is the best way to do more damage

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

i have a question about heroic anduin

#

what is this? does p2 in this dumb fucking guide refer to grim reflection phase?

mighty valley
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

also what do pugs generally expect, stack with reflections or no?

#

cause ive been yoloing stacking

mighty valley
#

If the adds get hit by a wicked star you're fucked

lusty grotto
#

they go down fast enough though

mighty valley
#

Ideally you should be able to stack within cleave range but not on top

#

But it depends on how much you trust the pug, if someone doesn't move away they might fuck it up

lusty grotto
#

100% every single stupid wipe is either not killing abom or people fucking up blasphemy

#

hmm

#

ill take that into consideration

#

ty harrow

mighty valley
#

If DPS isn't the problem the safest thing is to be a little further away, but it is a damage loss

lusty grotto
#

yeah well unfortunately pugging that means i gotta think on the fly there

#

unless its a group that's staying after that and i see them moving stars away

#

on that note

#

i absolutely fucking hate pugging fated sfo

#

interesting fights though

#

heroic that is

mighty valley
#

i think it's a very cool raid for learning with your team

#

but there are so many ways for one rando to really fuck it up

lusty grotto
#

yeah unfortunately im just pugging

#

i know the fights now at least

#

except for rygelon, which i havent seen

#

i did it on normal but apparently heroic has yet another soak mechanic or something?

#

for tanks i think

#

and not entirely sure positioning wise cause on normal i was just told to get him near and orb thingie

mighty valley
#

yeah, you actually have to do something after massive bang

#

in heroic

lusty grotto
#

hmm

mighty valley
#

when the cast goes off and you go downstairs, there are two orbs

#

the raid needs to stack on them until they're depleted, then one tank stays behind to soak

#

while everyone else goes to the second one

#

you can either alternate the tanks soaking, or do what we did and have one tank (bdk cotank for me) do both soaks while I just dealt with rygelon

tropic gorge
#

esp when your doing nice 20k or higher crits as a tank

#

"why yes, i do want that victory rush proc. how did you know?"

lusty grotto
#

so when you say you go downstairs

#

do you mean after massive bang soaks?

does he tp you somewhere else?

mighty valley
#

no it's just the other phase of the same room, with all the color washed out

lusty grotto

OH

#

ok yeah

mighty valley

dunno why we always say "downstairs" for stuff like anduin and rygelon lol

You're really on point.

Actually scary.

#

I did 16s and 15s in workshop, lower, streets,gambit, iron docks and grim rail and I can very much say screw sanguine. I hate this affix. It isn't even tough. It just sucks

undone verge
#

It’s not hard, but it’s annoying asf always having to be ready to move the mobs

blazing condor
#

sanguine is easy mode

#

unless you get mobs that can get stuck in casts

#

like shards in HOA

gentle scaffold
#

is tankingn worth it

blazing condor
#

yes

#

i like being able to be in control of what happens

#

instead of seeing dumb tanks do dumb things with not much to stop it

trim bay
#

i love wathcing dps pull

#

when i wasnt ready or didnt want it

#

and i let them die

#

in junkyard

#

nothing gets me harder

steep condor
#

I used sanguine to troll the warlock who kept pulling.. soon as he popped cd's id decide it was time to move the mobs cos 'sanguine bruh'.

sick sentinel
#

the only thing i can really see in that image

dusky sentinel
#

Doob. U can also do it different. Keep em in sanguine and move them when he done SweatPopcorn

#

Honestly. Locks been the most annoying thing this patch. Its not that they make it harder but the fact that they pull everything and not even asking. Their messing with my respect! And I dont tolerate it!

My guildmates think blizzard did a horrible thing with how reprisal works: not really the power it provides, more how it is designed. Do you agree?

cobalt seal
#

The problem

#

is that SB uptime is tied to it

#

not how it works

tardy sequoia
#

I mean they say too much movement is involved (intervene, charge etc.)

cobalt seal
#

Can always play BDK if they dont like moving

ionic fern

Some people don't like it.

sick sentinel

i got lazy this week and its only a 304, 301 / something in vault

Having a min range for a part of your rotation like a classic hunter does kinda suck

sick sentinel
#

BM hunter is considered bad for m+? sheesh

#

and sub rogue? has to be something wrong with this list.

minor helm
#

It’s about representation not performance

sick sentinel
#

the season 3 feral druid who carried my 17 theatre with 15k dps and killed all the explosives?

minor helm
#

Doesn’t matter how his performance was

sick sentinel
#

just, that the specs don't often show up right

minor helm
#

Correct the player base for those specs is significantly less than other specs of the same class

sick sentinel
#

TBF disc is notoriously hard to play at a high level (looking at break the meta event)

#

i like hunters with pet cuz then it can emergency taunt or stun

ionic fern
#

Most hunters don't even know that their pet has a taunt/stun. And even if they do, they won't use it.

modern brook
#

Pepexecute hunters

sick sentinel
#

hunters usually do insane damage and have MD and FD, that's all i need to know

urban portal
#

I would rather them unbind pet taunt

#

Than actually use it

jolly granite
modern brook
tropic gorge
#

For every hunter that doesn't know about taunt, you'll run into one with taunt on auto cast

#

Usually a South American, or someone who says 0 words in chat

cobalt seal
#

my pet doesn't have a stun

cinder nova
#

I straight /ragequit a key and bricked it because a hunter was our only purge and he just never pressed it.

#

His reaction

?? bro it's for rage effects

#

I lost it.

tropic gorge
#

Lol

ionic fern
#

It's not only hunters tho.
It's legit all the classes. People either don't know about their utility or don't bother using it.

tropic gorge
#

Fairly normal between 1 and like 16-17

cobalt seal
#

of course you dont press it

tropic gorge
#

But, I've seen people in 18 to 20 that I wonder how tf they have the raiting they have and their ilvl

cobalt seal
#

you can add that number to 28's

#

and still find people like that lol

tropic gorge
#

I haven't gone over 20

#

There's a huge gap in skill after like 18 tho, that I've noticed. And people up near 20 seem to be a bit more serious, and play better. On average in my experience

lusty tiger
#

One thing I noticed in 18-20 people will do shit dps and then leave keys because you didn’t know a skip or something

#

If people did their rotation and cc you wouldn’t need to skip in an 18 ever

lusty tiger
#

Yeah it’s super toxic

modern brook
#

Iunno that's like late stage wow in its prime

ionic fern
#

People around the 20 more or less know their DPS rotation.

#

People above 20 also start figuring out "ooh,hei,look,i got utility".

modern brook
#

People finally start doing 20s because they numerically bulldoze everything and think they're hot shit

ionic fern
#

People below 20 are like "Hurrdurr fotm button smash"

modern brook

And in reality blizzard just donated them fun

sick sentinel

that's only for ST

Can someone confirm or deny something for me, is there a skill for Prot Warriors that is a Stance, reducing damage taken and reducing damage dealt?

nope

#

only arms gets dstance

swift shard
#

Ah so it is Arms that has it then

lusty tiger
#

For now

swift shard
#

That seems like more of a Prot trait

sick sentinel
#

perma-toggleable -20% damage incoming for prot would be stupidly overpowered

urban portal

#

is there any notable trash mobs in streets this week because fort + raging.

#

i'd mostly be scared of the mario fire stick guys at the start of dungeon

old sinew
#

Mario fire stick guys?

lusty tiger
#

The lasers

#

That spin

#

The trick is to cc them, los the cast, or have a kite path away

tropic gorge

Melting them before they have a few beams up also works πŸ™‚

#

During raging I usually do slightly smaller, more frequent pulls

gloomy vortex
#

I have a 291 fated trinket, can I use the heroic drops that I need 20 of to upgrade to 298 or must it be mythic?

sick sentinel
#

is a stick goes round and round, you touch it get set on fire and die

drifting fable
gloomy vortex
#

yeah but is that to 298? because it is 291 atm

drifting fable
#

depends on the trinket but should be

#

if you use a heroic upgrade on a normal item it will go to heroic.

strong forum
#

If its 291, it can't be 298

#

It depends from which boss it drops

#

291 is regular heroic boss ilvl

#

298 is endboss heroic ilvl

#

The only 298 trinkets are ows, stone legion heraldry, sanguine vintage, dreadfire vessel, scars and iirc the swarm trinket

#

From raid*

old sinew
#

Kt book

#

Also I guess the swarm trinket is Dreadlords? There’s a different neurbian trinket from kt as well

sick sentinel
#

yeah i got 298 book on mage from quest

Well im mainly talking warri

old sinew

Well warri can drop that too

grave wedge
#

this game has reverse badluck rng

#

chasing a shield for weeks and it gives me the lfr one dunno if i should snag it and hold onto it for a potential upgrade token to use in 2 weeks or take 304 legs which are an upgrade from 298.

#

kinda a feel bad choice either way 6 ilvls or the best shield im gonna get in two weeks ( not doing mythic) pants and thinking itd bad chose but i can farm a 298 i cant farm a 304

urban portal
#

You are gonna find a better shield easily

tropic gorge
#

Don't forget prepatch is probably at the end of the month

steep condor
#

i am low ilvl so pretty much any gear is an upgrade for me right now - i have done 4.5k valor worth of dungeon runs and had a single item in that whole time, a mechagon ring that activates if i heal someone below 50%.

#

i have become way more comfy with my warrior so not all is lost but feels very bad ngl

lusty tiger
#

Once you have 2x Lego and 4pc do t worry about ilvl until you’re getting 1shot or need to push from 12k dps- 16k dps overall for example

Of those 2 definitely soleahs, aegis is overkill for anything below at least 26-28

I'm running ows/rdm and it's a great combo

#

In open world, how do warriors make up for lack of health sustain?

jagged pier
#

well u dont need it in the open world

#

everything tickles

tropic gorge
#

Nothing in the over world can hurt you

jagged pier
#

but u still have indom

#

and victory rush

tropic gorge
#

Except world bosses, victory rush is huge

jagged pier
#

which is more than enough

tropic gorge
#

Mount up and pull as much stuff as you can, you'll see. Overworld mobs are a joke

swift shard
#

I ask this coming from DK, so not having a mid fight heal is a bit jaring

tropic gorge
#

Gotta kill something for a victory rush heal.

swift shard
#

So used to my health going like a yoyo

jagged pier
#

well prot isnt reactive

tropic gorge
#

But you won't need any of it. You won't take dmg on the overworld as a tank warrior

jagged pier
#

so it shouldnt need a heal mid fight

swift shard
#

As I said it is just a bit jaring

jagged pier
#

the whole ppoint of bdk is that is literally reacts to damage it takes

#

prot should never take the damage in the first place

tropic gorge
#

By jarring you mean better right

#

Hehe

#

At pretty much any gear level, a prot war in the overworld is a god that can't be killed

#

Pull as much as you can as often as you can and have fun with it

swift shard
#

It is like going from a "you hit me but I am still standing." To " I am going to hit you first and good luck hitting me back."

#

Getting my head around the new playstyle is fun

tropic gorge
#

My war solos elites that my mage has to kite and be careful with

swift shard
#

Is that not what a nage should do though?

#

Mage*

tropic gorge
#

You'll like it. Esp when you see that no matter what you pull you kill it with ease. Keybind victory rush for a 30 percent (I think) mega heal per kill you get

#

The pwar I can basically afk solo anything

swift shard
#

I think mine at the moment does 20%

tropic gorge
#

The mage requires a bit of work lol and effort

#

I forget the exact amount of vr

#

But it's big, and scales up with last stand or the hp shout

swift shard
#

It is why I enjoy tank/brawler classes. The ability to be in the thick of it and survive

tropic gorge
#

Not just survive, but thrive

#

Pull more!

swift shard
#

What is a reasonable max health that I should have? Coming from Bdk with 100k+ health has my standards a bit high

jagged pier
#

doesnt matter

#

but if your geared you'll have more than that

sick sentinel
#

293 item level and i have... uhhh 135k i think before self and party buffs

#

142.9k

jagged pier
#

at 302 i have 152

#

but could literally be like 90k and be fine in pretty much all content

#

when played correctly u mitigate far to much damage

swift shard
#

That sounds more like it

sick sentinel
swift shard
#

Need to get gearing then

tropic gorge
#

Whatever you have with highest ilvl gear you have

uneven mason
#

Specifically, if your hp moves at all you probably made a mistake. We're the polar opposite of bdk when it comes to damage intake

cinder nova
#

I mean, you're gonna get spiked no matter what, it's a matter of trying to predict and prepare for them.

#

The less your health moves the better.

#

We want our damage intake to be as predictable as possible, because then it's easily healed.

lusty tiger
#

Trickle hots mostly from aoe should keep us topped, that’s the goal

#

I’m either getting a CoH echo or I’m getting GA no in between

swift shard
#

That sounds reasonable, so an actual tanky tank

uneven mason
#

We're bricks, 100% proactive about damage, bdk is 100% reactive

Any guides outside icy veins for recommended rotation for prot warrior?

its not very good no, its better than the other trinket u have equiped tho

so codex no good for prot?

this is just an alt i dont play much just like some m+ for fun

so i still dont know much, fairly new to prot.

codex is the worst trinket for prot

Use your CDs on CD

shield Slam whenever possible

IP to avoid overcapping, revenge when everything else is on cd

with glory + double legendary + proper reprisal usage you generate enough rage that you really shouldnt have dead globals, and spending rage is important to maintain banner

Hell yeah!

uneven mason
#

Legitimately the 4000 cards fail massively compared to the 3000 in price per performance, and that's before the priced plummeted

# warm silo ?

its not that weird of a statement, many classes might hold a CD to allow things to align, for us we generally do not

warm silo
#

well yeah i realized u were talking specifically about offensive cds

#

But even then i dont think its always true

#

Could be worth to hold rage generators like last stand to make sure you have it in execute

mighty valley
#

LS yeah since it's a longer cooldown and sending it is less likely to mean you get an extra cast in the fight

Our other CDs are just so short

well I see it didnt quite read banner right lol cause theres no way it was only up for 7% of the run

Just looking at it quickly, needs more conq banner casts and uptime

gloomy vortex

I will admit I was focusing more on IP and SB on that run

so 7% maybe right

even focusing on SB and IP banner should be at least 40%

because i can tell you thats your number 1 problem right there if so

#

you can β€œfocus on IP and SB” as you put it while you have banner up. they go hand in hand

mighty valley
#

Yep, you should be pressing banner on your first pull and then trying to keep it going forever

prisma crane
#

more than that, banner helps with focusing on SB and IP

mighty valley
#

You've overcapped a ton of rage, that can all be going into IP to keep Banner going

#

Overall you're just not pressing enough buttons, you should be hitting Revenge a lot more than you do

drifting fable
#

if youre still confused on how everything coordinates with banner, check the vid in pins.

mighty valley
#

You cast Intervene twice, should be using it on cooldown with Reprisal

drifting fable
#

6% and 7% banner uptime indicates you might not truly understand how interacts

#

or rather what your β€œgoal” should be, which is dump that rage to keep that thing up

slow spire

second week of mythic raid tanking; its all coming together πŸ’ͺ

it needs to be around 80

prisma crane
chrome falcon

yeah they do

but they weren't casting banner

drifting fable

yeah he does but coulda been bugged i guess

chrome falcon
#

and when they did they were spending basically 0 rage to keep it up

drifting fable
#

that too

#

they did cast it in the ID

chrome falcon
#

i think you guys are underestimating the possibility that they just don't understand the rage machine

drifting fable
#

so it was weird they didnt do it for 14 min in jy

prisma crane

when learning to ride a bike you're not that focused on how to shift yet

chrome falcon

also your glory might be bugged so uhhh

#

unequip/re-equip it

#

i genuinely can't tell

cinder nova
#

You can tell just by checking the duration.

#

If all of his casts are exactly 15s uptime then it's bugged.

#

If one lasts 16s+ then it isn't.

chrome falcon
#

yeah ok your glory isn't bugged

#

ouch

prisma crane

its ok, baby steps!

not for breath one

sick sentinel

my logic would be go find the guy who made it

#

and my logic from there is since its a DK ability, he probably hengs out in DK dicsord and then can tell you how he made it

mighty valley

there are lots of existing WAs for warrior timers, I just don't know which one they're looking for

cobalt seal

I can easily adjust that one to do what I want, I thought there might be a cleaner nicer one that people knew of. But sorry I asked in the class discord if anyone knew of a class weak aura that existed and referenced a different class. May I burn in hell for all eternity.

you guys probably get this question a lot and im gonna say sorry in advance but at what % of haste did you guys get to comfortably keep up banner? im sweating at 28% (with into the frey) and the best i could get it to is 15sec remaining on banner cd . It's a new char so I still need the gear but managed to use the Zereth mortis currency to get 4p and have double leggo.

urban portal

its not your haste

haste effects pretty little due to how much rage gen comes from non hasted sources

(charge,intervene,banner)

oh guess im just shit then, thought devestate shield slam reset procs would be part of it

# gloomy vortex Wondering what all your keybinds are for the spec? Anyone fancy sharing

i generally try to keep everything to 1 button press when possible. Keys that are very under utilized and I highly recommend rebinding to spells are Z, X, C, E, R, F and G. V, B, and T are also OK for some. I also recommend having spells on your mouse buttons. you dont need a fancy MMO mouse, but if you have 1-2 side buttons you might as well use them because theyre fast to hit. MouseWheel Up and MouseWheel Down are also really good for any abilities you have to spam alot. for instance, I put IP on there, but its different for everyone

Best keyboard setup is DVORAK

#

QWERTY is usable, but inefficient.

modern brook
#

I mean idt Dvorak has any implication on your keybinds

#

But hard agree my guy drak knows what's up

lusty tiger
#

What is dvorak

modern brook
#

It's an alternate keyboard set up designed by some dork named dvorak

#

The idea is the most common letters are on the home row

#

To reduce hand movement while typing

#

Unfortunately, just like edison did to tesla

lusty tiger
#

You guys don’t type telepathically yet?

any tips for large pulls on warrior? I dont feel like we have a toolkit for it. I also get wrecked in atempting the same large pulls my paladin can do with ease. Pally gets more holy power/more self heals, monks get larger brew heals, etc. what do warriors do?

Stop damage before it happens

#

bears incarn, dk's... well they just dk. and when I do large pull and my health drops hard from magic or w/e.. I'm left hangin with no recourse to heal myself back up. its frustrating.

uneven mason
#

Warriors are 100% proactive tanks, if you're just plowing into mobs with nothing up you're going to get wrecked

#

All other tanks are reactive

ebon wren
#

shield is always up. I demo shout at start. what else is there to be up

#

banner up of course

#

I think I just stink with warrior :p.

so are you guys really able to keep banner up from the first pull throughout a dungeon? im starting to get the hang of intervening and leaping away, charging back . I do have trouble intervening away and then charging back sometimes without causing anything to change location

mighty valley
#

if i'm able to pull continuously, i'm able to keep it running, yeah

#

and then you just have to think about when you need to hold the recast for times where there's too much travel or RP or whatever

#

you often don't need to leap away, considering everything is slowed just walking a few steps can be enough to get to charge range

#

you definitely don't want to intervene and charge back to back, wastes a free revenge and probably overcaps

#

i just intervene melee

#

also many packs have casters/ranged enemies you can charge to for free

grave wedge
#

so do you also pop avatar last stand demo with banner or you do cycle through each

mighty valley
#

pop everything on pull

grave wedge
#

pop at same time back to back or cycle through with banner

#

kk

mighty valley
#

build that duration up huge

#

you just have to mash mash mash IP while you're going through those GCDs with LS up

grave wedge
#

okay cool love it. seems like its just more of a practice make perfect thing

#

yeah usualy im not generating enough rage and itll fall off between pack but im gonna work kiting one group towards the next more and things of that nature try to speed up the chain pulling safely. learning with pugs can be a hell of a learning curve

mighty valley
#

I learned with a FDK who really wanted to keep breath going haha

#

we were of the same mind

#

he would death grip for me to speed things up

grave wedge
#

is raged still based off damage taken at all? that may be like a lost in classic thing, wondering if you build more rage in higher keys. I havent noticed a difference but i havent looked for one tbh

mighty valley
#

it's heavily normalized, you only gain a fixed amount of rage by being hit and it can only happen once every few seconds

#

so it's basically the same so long as you're being hit, increased damage taken doesn't matter

grave wedge
#

gotcha yeah sometimes higher keys feel easier but thats probbably because of the better pugs lol

foggy wigeon
#

So this is like super scrub question. But i seem to pool a Lot of rage when i pop banner of and dont seem to be spending enough to not waste significant enough amount to not be messing my total duration ( i cureently am averaging around 1.5 minutes ) . Am i just not smashing IP and Reveng fast enough you think or i should just be spreading my other generators like Avatar , last Stand Demo shout more ?

mighty valley
#

You shouldn't need to spread out your CDs - probably just need to mash IP more, and also it's ok to skip Thunderclap to just press more Revenge when you're really really overflowing with rage and need to spend it
