unfortunately there are no talent based macros atm afaik

storm shell
#

unlucky, that should be an option not macros

rustic belfry
#

if you have mutiple speccs saved (e.g. one with ravager the other with shockwave) you can switch between them and your bars are updated

jagged pier
#

your bars save per talent lay out

rustic belfry
storm shell
#

can't see that

#

only active/disabled part

rustic belfry
#

you can save your talent tree as a layout (bottom left) and you can switch between layouts

oblique garnet
#

battlestance is fine

#

you take 0 damage anyways

storm shell
#

@rustic belfry can u screenshot that for me? 😄

storm shell
#

yeah but thats only talent layout

rustic belfry
#

yeah and your bars update to your layout

bold linden
#

is it possible to use mouse wheel up /down as hotkey when using the wow default ui?

jagged pier
#

u just need to set them to a keybind

bold linden
#

oh okay thanks i see!

jagged pier
#

well i think so

oblique garnet
#

yeah that works

storm shell
#

@rustic belfry so I have layout with and without spell block, if I switch between them it becomes active/disabled. I want it to disappear

jagged pier
#

i accidently bound scroll wheel to somehting on alpha

storm shell
jagged pier
#

it wont show up then

thanks!

#

Might be stupid, but will we run defensive stance now?

jagged pier
#

u can if u want

#

and in content u find hurts or difficult for sure u will

#

but its really where you feel comfortable and on a player to player basis what stance u use

#

and when

#

as a general rule of thumb if your tanking

#

like activly tanking

#

be in def stance

mighty grail
#

Cool thanks! See that we have WW as spell now aswell, is it a thing?

jagged pier
#

we have had it all SL

#

and no u dont use it

#

it doesnt go on your bars

mighty grail
#

same as slam?

jagged pier
#

yes same as slam

storm shell
#

@jagged pier also I've just now deleted all my talent layouts and created a new one and everything from my bars is gone, is there a way to prevent that and create new layout base on different one?

mighty grail
#

Thx!

At the risk of asking a dumb question, do you use execute when available?

As soon as there is more than 1 target, revenge > execute

Rend + tc = bleed fuckers, bleed

#

just tc

#

its rends everything anyway

untold adder

only if 1 target hit is rended, no?

I thought it was that way too

No

You don't need to ever press rend

X-legendary just means you don't pick the talent Version of the legendary

i relly like how the talents; for a large part; speaks to your preference. Ofc there are some talents you just want to have, but still so many small tweaks you can change to depending on your style or t he dungeon you are about to jump in to

i promise you will get and be so much better at a class or spec if u try things out

they did a great job.

not just follow what your told

# jagged pier not just follow what your told

ok i will do that in DF. In the past i've alted like crazy so blindly followed the meta. In DF i say NO to altoholic behaviour so i will have time to do this. **disclaimer: I say this every patch and expansion but really really mean it.

#

thats what i said in BFA when i went prot warrior season 1.

absolutely terrible. I was stubborn so i didnt reroll fast enough and was behind. I obviously did reroll eventually

I personnaly like playing warr tank more defensivly then dmg wise so talents giving me self healing and absorb is more fun then picking dmg talents.

Didnt matter how good i was, im 99% a solo player and it was straight up impossible for me to find m+ groups.

jagged pier
#

there are more things than just the game

steep condor
#

i will live the warrior life

jagged pier
#

and i pug all my m+

#

cause my guild hated going m+ at the time

steep condor
#

i literally decided on warrior for the class fantasy. I don't care how it stacks up against other stuff. I know for my level of play it will be good enough and as a tank I won't be a slave to the meta as people are always desperate for tanks in m+ (raid i will dps)

jagged pier
#

the only time meta slave is a thing is if your top 50 guild or your pushing the highest possible keys

steep condor
#

exactly right

jagged pier
#

otherwise there is literally 0 need to play the meta

#

but for some reason ppl dont understand that

steep condor
#

i think for 20's i will be fine as ANY tank spec even if i am pugging them.

untold adder
#

for sure

steep condor
#

well if you are a dps player you literally won't get invited if you are the 'wrong spec'... tanks have it easier.

#

although you can 'push your own key'

untold adder
#

lol yea gl with that. But it is true, people are slaves to the meta on others behalf. "why would i take a subpar spec in to MY KEY" mentality.

You can try a lot of things; a lot of the good legos became talents (minus reprisal, but you can mimic it with other SB talents if you choose) so if you use lets say "The Wall" dont use the talent that does the exact same thing. The base build on Wowhead is a pretty good place to start, and they even have a tab that tells you which talents are necessary, great, good, and poop so you can make some personal choices from there.
