make 0 sense cause u still do tank damage in bstance

Dstance weird

spiral compass
#

@jagged pier i don’t know if i read it right you said banner will have no use in dragon flight? again i could of misread

lusty grotto
#

whats that

#

my dude?

oblique garnet
lusty grotto
#

what is banner

lusty grotto
#

its a covenant ability is it not?

spiral compass
#

thank you @jagged pier @oblique garnet

mellow quartz
#

that was funny lol

lusty grotto
#

that should answer your question by itself

mellow quartz
#

why does this SL ability that is not in DF have no use in DF

spiral compass
#

i thought they made it a talent my bad

lusty grotto
#

oh lol

spiral compass
#

thank you

lucid robin
#

I read the wowhead guide, but I'm warrior 101. If I'm running kyrian, are we saving things like Last Stand for defensive instead of as an offensive cooldown to generate rage? My understanding is rage generation is not an issue for pwar?

lusty grotto
#

🤷

#

i still use it for rage gen

#

out of habit

#

and/or depends on bolster pickup

mellow quartz
#

you pick the LS rage talent?

lusty grotto
#

i dont

lucid robin
#

i haven't picked anything myself yet. 😄

lusty grotto
#

but conduit

open gazelle
#

I use last stand at the beginning of a big pull and generally save shield wall for oh shit moments

#

I have bolster

tropic gorge
#

Avatar and SW giving each other is so good

lucid robin
#

I suppose last stand on big pulls does double duty anyway.

mellow quartz
#

is the beta up for you guys? all the realms are incompatible for me but I can't update my client 😦

lusty grotto
#

hmm...

tropic gorge
#

And infinite block uptime is... Something else entirely. I ran a low 15id, and at one point pushed my block time to 22 seconds when I looked

lucid robin
#

you want some upfront mitigation to prevent getting flattened. 😄

lusty grotto
#

i dont think its worth getting bolster atm

#

you dont need it for uptime at least

severe hatch
lusty grotto
#

so i just dump LS for rage gen

#

which is probably also not needed

open gazelle
#

@severe hatch yes of course I have two charges of it anyways

lusty grotto
#

and yes Auld is correct

open gazelle
#

Sometimes do LS and SW at the same time

#

But keep one SW for oh shit moments

severe hatch
#

The trick to being correct is to never say things that are incorrect

lusty grotto
#

that is also correct

#

ty auld

open gazelle
#

Correct

Any time bb

Speaking of bear. I was shocked that my warrior, with even ilvl to my guilds bear tank, my warrior has more stats except hp. He has 10 or 12k more than me

uneven mason
#

Like mechanically they have no difference

tropic gorge
#

My parry is 1 percent higher than his dodge and I have 2x the druids armor and dr

raw karma
#

thanks guys

uneven mason
median tulip
#

I'm not an expert, but don't Druids rely on their Mastery a lot?

#

Bear Druids that is

uneven mason
#

Warriors armor is scaled a smidge too high, bur needs some serious love on baseline

tropic gorge
#

No clue tbh. I'm just glad that as a prot war I'm more stacked than a damn druid is at long last

median tulip
#

I tried druid in S3, but I hated all 4 specs

lusty grotto
#

im not sure but i feel that that has been the case for a while due to shield armor

tropic gorge
#

I may try to pug some heroic raids on the warrior this weekend to get a better feel

#

Is it worth putting rend on the bar if it's being applied by thunderclap?

lusty grotto
#

good lord pin this already

tropic gorge
lusty grotto
#

or a pin that says "please search rend, blood and thunder and thurderclap"

median tulip
#

Thunderclap with Blood & Thunder = Rage Generator, also applies Rend. Rend alone = Rage Spender. Never ever use Rend.

tropic gorge
#

I had rend on my bar, I didn't realize tc applied it on cast

#

It's now gone lol

median tulip
#

There's no reason to have Whirlwind on your bars either

lusty grotto
#

or hamstring

#

or slam

tropic gorge
#

I had hamstring on my bars for a bit when I was trying out prot pvp, but that's it

tropic gorge
marble cipher
#

Hey, just checked the pinned example builds. None of them go for Shocwave > Sonic Boom at first glance (mobile atm).
I thought this was the go to since it does so much damage. Or is it only used at lvl 70 when we can get more capstones? (M+ perspective)

lusty grotto
#

i guess hamstring is debateable

#

situational

median tulip
#

Hamstring is situational

lusty grotto
#

on some raids at least

tropic gorge
#

I'd say hamstring is really only useful for pvp, and maybe just maybe a few niche pve situations

#

Is it worth keeping on the bars tho? Nah

lusty grotto
#

i mean its okay to use for anduin

grizzled star
#

situational

lusty grotto
#

but usually you have like 15 other classes that apply slows

Do y’all still play around that and just not thunderclap above 6 stacks, or just go for something else?

#

Is it just me or does blood dk not look that flashy/cool to play. The only cool looking abilities imo are the bone shield you get and anti magic shell that’s it

Any reason to use WW over revenge now a days?>

WW is a dead button

Never use them

We get clap and avatar and even shield slam looks cool imo

oh no, its immersion talk

remember when immersion nerds justify blizzard's decision to not have us flying from day 1 of expansions?

#

i remembered

#

every

#

time

#

fuck you immersion nerds

tropic gorge
#

I don't like flying day 1 because I think flight makes the game too easy

lusty grotto
#

now take that how to ride that dragon and shove it

tropic gorge
#

Part of what I liked about wod was the decision to make the world more difficult

jagged pier
#

the whole dragon fly system is built around u flying day 1

deft dust
#

@tropic gorge that argument, but then portals

radiant magnet
#

it works in DF tho

jagged pier
#

when zone are made around it

#

like storm peaks

radiant magnet
#

exactly

jagged pier
#

it works really well

lusty grotto
#

or revendreth?

#

hint hint

jagged pier
#

thats wasnt built with flying in mind while lvling through it

#

so no

tropic gorge
#

I'm not a player against flight period. I just don't like it out of the gate

lusty grotto
#

still ass to get through on the ground, fuck that shit

tropic gorge
#

But that's just like, my opinion maaaaan

lusty grotto
#

of course it shouldn't

#

but it should be available when you cap levels

#

anyway at least thats not the case in DF so we're solid

tropic gorge
#

I did like having to "earn" flight. Dunno how I feel about how blizz went about it in sl. But it's meh

lusty grotto
#

you mean in SL, BFA AND legion

#

AND WoD

tropic gorge
#

Bfa is the one I can't fly in. I never got around to getting it lol

old sinew
#

flying was dumb because flying as a mechanic was dumb. I like flying in DF because it's actually flying

#

I've never understood the argument of "I need flying because what if I need to take a massive shit while questing", as if you can't log out of the game and do that

lusty grotto
#

gross

radiant magnet
#

yeah, logging out is gross

lusty grotto
#

we found one

tropic gorge
#

Wait, people log out?

old sinew
#

you know what's gross? Malding about not being able to take a shit for 6 or 8 years or however long it has been since WoD

#

kekw

#

imagine getting mad about the most trivial thing

lusty grotto
#

that's a gross oversimplification

#

immersion has its uses in an MMO

#

just not being forced upon players when going for certain goals

#

or as a mechanic to make you waste more time in game

tropic gorge
#

That's what the taxi system is

old sinew
#

I guess Blizzard should just mail me 30,000 valor because it's a waste of time to make me valor farm kekw

tropic gorge
#

A method to keep people logged in for more time

old sinew
#

wasting your time is part of the game. the world isn't big unless the world is big

lusty grotto
#

are we talking about immersion or endgame grinds?

old sinew
#

yes, that's how it works

lusty grotto
#

or did you conveniently left that part out?

old sinew
#

"the game shouldn't ever 'waste' my time' is a smooth-brain take

gleaming mica
#

Remind my how a game isn’t wasting time….

lusty grotto
#

that's so odd that we're talking about IMMERSION FORCING YOU, and then you go on a different tangent

crystal mauve
#

Sorry to bother about Execute again. Is it even worth using then?

lusty grotto
#

its like you leave out the import context

old sinew
#

"a different tangent"... that's how argument works. I take your argument, I take it to its conclusion, show that said conclusion is dumb, therefore your argument is dumb. That's how it works

crystal mauve
# jagged pier yes

I presume that means it is still the highest damage per rage points spend then?

sick sentinel
#

waste my time as in, the game just decided to randomly crash whenever it wants kind of thing

lusty grotto

but hey if you feel you proved my argument is dumb, i can't convince you otherwise

alright that's enough, back to fotm reroller's prot opinions and questions that have been answered 500 times in the past 2 days

surreal thunder
#

Is rend being automatically applied to multiple targets from thunderclap with no intial rend on any targets working correctly or is it a bug?

lusty grotto
#

speaking of which

drifting fable
#

working correctly

#

update to TC

surreal thunder
#

tyvm everyone

novel temple
#

They went back to the mop design

mellow quartz
#

it's only when playing B&T

novel temple
#

Cause it was clunky as fuck to rend and thunderclap in cata, and was gonna still be clunky as fuck today

lusty grotto
#

and that's an accurate definition of clunky

radiant magnet
#

pretty sure they just couldnt fix the bugs in time in beta, so went with auto applying w/ TC

#

every fix it was still busted

mellow quartz
#

that is most likely the case tbh

#

it was broken for 3 weeks straight on beta and no matter what they did it didnt fix it

#

so they just changed it 🙂

lusty grotto

and we're all glad that was the case

yeah, BnT change was a solid QOL bonus

uneven mason
#

Not needing to spend rage and gcd in rend

radiant magnet
#

honestly I was a bit shocked by the change, but yeah it's great

uneven mason
#

It's reprisal level qol without the quirk change to game play

surreal thunder
#

yea, saving a gcd is always nice lol

old sinew
#

It was definitely needed. PWar opener was way too clunky without imo

uneven mason
#

Saving 30 rage is better

lusty grotto
#

and a hotbar slot of course

Yeah I compare thunderlord vs reprisal as similar in terms of resolving clunk

uneven mason
#

I'm 100% honest just picking talents as I level these warriors and not reading guides and getting functional boosts every few levels is great, thus far nothing has actually modified my playstyle on either of my prot runs so far which is amazing for new players

#

What isn't amazing for new players is relying on the ah for shields

lusty grotto
#

well to be fair you should get shields by questing

#

and obviously having prot loot spec

#

but yeah it might be a rough starting point

old sinew
#

It’s too bad new players still level through BFA. Woulda been nice if they could do legion and get an artifact shield

dire tulip
#

How good is tough as nails? Mine does 1100 and I have a 70% shield up time casually through 16s.

lusty grotto

I an trying to figure out how big melee hits have to be to get over shield block and the leech/vitality

strong forum
#

?

strong forum
#

wdym "go over"

lusty tiger
#

Other than our reverb legendary what did they need for prot?

dire tulip
#

Like a mob has to hit you for a certain amount to get over the 85% block and the 30% ip and 10% leech to actually deal damage from a melee

strong forum
#

multiplication can never reduce a hit to 0

#

youll always take dmg

#

you also have like 60% armor reduction in there

lusty grotto
#

on blocks

strong forum
#

you need a 100% absorb to reduce a hit to 0

lusty grotto
#

obviously parry and dodge work differently

strong forum
#

also IP is 55%

#

not 30

#

and leech isnt mitigation

dire tulip
#

The 30% is brutal vitality gain.

strong forum
#

those 30% are dealing dmg to increase IP size

#

it has nothing to do with how much of a %IP absorbs

lusty grotto
#

there are no unhittable sets or builds in wow retail, if that's what you're going for

strong forum
#

the only tank who can reduce a hit to 0 without parrying or dodging is BDK

lusty grotto
#

obv that was different in wrath

strong forum
#

because BDK can stack up bloodshield

#

which is a full absorb

old sinew
#

I mean it won't literally do zero damage even if you critically block, absorb 55% of the damage with IP, and mitigate a lot with armor, but you might not require any external healing if you have enough self-HPS (actual HPS, not more IP gain).

dire tulip
#

I am not looking for unhittable. I want to figure out how much leech/ip gain you get when you get hit with shield block and tough as nails and how much you negate with shield block.

#

I am probably just being dumb and bored at work

old sinew
#

nom just said they're multiplicative.

#

If I take 50% your pie and then take another half of your pie, you have a 1/4 of your pie left, not zero pie.

old sinew
#

no shot that's intended

lusty grotto
#

it definitely sounds like a bug

old sinew
#

its just spaghetti code. I'm sure its coded to say something like "stop trying to add IP value if the IP value is full" and then simply never checks to see if IP value has diminished and should start adding again

so your BV x max stacks of BFI x 30%

uneven mason
crystal mauve
oblique garnet
lusty grotto
#

you mean the 5% from BFI is additive with each stack

crystal mauve
#

Thanks a lot @oblique garnet 🙂

uneven mason
#

I mean shield spec 6% chance is just raw chance to block

lusty grotto
#

yeah i dont think hes asking about that

#

or i hope not

#

cause SB

uneven mason
#

All sbv is multicative

lusty grotto
#

yup

dire tulip
#

I am asking the 30% added block value particularly

uneven mason
#

And yeah bfi stacks then multiplies

dire tulip
#

Same part for BFI

lusty grotto
#

mastery is block chance

uneven mason
#

Yup

lusty grotto
#

so additive wwith block chance from shield spec

#

but it doesnt matter cause we have shield block

uneven mason
#

But since we have 100% on SB

lusty grotto
#

and of course, it doesnt need repeating but

#

yes

that

Is the sepulcher's savior shield worth using? It's 291 and higher than my 278 shield but it has no stat other than block

if its higher ilvl

its better

uneven mason
#

The chance is just for "I came from brm" protection

lusty grotto
#

because more armor more block value

dapper nest
#

Ty!

dire tulip

So in that case, BFI and shield specialization gets double when Crit blocked right?

what people running instead of reprisal ? just realized im not even running intervene but using the lego

lusty grotto

seismic

keep in mind though that the wall or reprisal might be better for raids

spring umbra

and seismic for keys or aoe

would you run seismic over wall for m+ then ?

ionic fern

Yes.

yes m+ = keys

is the m+ tree at wowhead good or should i use something else?

i mean i died by taking 3 vampiric strikes last night because reflect was down

i cant remember what its called

so lets just say vampiric strike

I mean I died once last night bc I pulled the whole council room in castle 😂😂

like you pulled three simultaneous dreadlords?

of course

Is the Fueled By Violence better than Condensed Anima Sphere?

Holy shit I didn't even know this

it does big dam

uneven mason

so SR on cd on it

mighty valley

better than SRing blood siphon

you can actually get a reflect off if you cast as siphon/shield is starting

so talking banner uptime - is reprisal still the go to? or do you get so much rage that it doesn't really matter?

sullen jungle
#

Soo for the last Endurance Conduit do we take FBV, CAS Or UF?

lusty grotto

but to answer you, the last part of what you said is what's correct

reprisal has its uses in raid/ST

mighty valley
#

vdh is like... fweh, i've moved

lusty grotto
#

and wall too

mighty valley
#

we fuckin slam everywhere we go

#

and yeah, in anything with multiple targets, we're swimming in rage without reprisal

#

haven't done any long ST fights yet

lusty grotto

i use UF and SG

we are extremely strong right now, in the running for best tank, so it's likely something's off

linking your logs is a good start if you want help

hard to give any feedback without tbh

uneven mason
lusty grotto

excuse me, Late is EU, he doesnt speak NA

but 🤝 for speaking NA

#

either way to say BnT rend is weak is really far off lmao

lusty grotto
#

what are we looking at here

uneven mason
#

I mean at lower gear I can see some one pumping IP over revenge and feeling damage is low?

lusty grotto
#

and i hope that character is updated cause it says Night Fae

coarse flower
mighty valley
#

how the fuck do we navigate to a specific log from here

#

sometimes i hate the website

lusty grotto
#

idk but it helps if he links to a specific run cause shrug

#

oh

uneven mason
#

There's no logs just lb stat

lusty grotto
#

its leaderboard data

#

yeah we cant see shit here

#

except that you're night fae

#

which is wrong

slow estuary
#

im not even nightfae

#

it must be outdated

uneven mason
#

Even less helpful

mellow quartz
#

maybe a bit less aggressive?

lusty grotto
#

do you have an actual log?

#

hey guys heres some logs

mellow quartz
#

he was talking about how hes got a '90 logs' he means it shows as a 90 on the overview in his dungeon profile on warcraftlogs

lusty grotto
urban portal
#

90 logs doesn’t mean shite in prepatch

#

And dungeon logs mean even less

stoic smelt
#

what does the points section even mean? don't you just get all 99s assuming you do high keys?

mellow quartz
#

he is just not aware that 90 is not 'high'

lusty grotto
#

i must be good amirite?

silent anchor
#

like, i did say this, but apparently that was aggresive shrugs

uneven mason
mellow quartz
#

yes that number is just the higher the key

#

nothing abt play

slow estuary
#

yikes why are people so angry here:/

mighty valley
#

bloodsurge is giving us too much rage

lusty grotto
#

cause we are warrie

silent anchor
#

we have a troll in our midst

mellow quartz

troll != ignorant

coarse flower
#

maybe he just wants some help lol

lusty grotto
#

super woyer

He says the main reason he isn’t doing damage is cuz gear

lofty widget
#

someone post that copy pasta "how to log" thing

lusty grotto
#

its prepatch, we're overflowing with rage

mighty valley
#

anyway. if you're not doing very good damage, you're almost certainly doing something wrong. if you'd like us to help you figure it out, we'll need to see a log. otherwise, all good!

silent anchor

cant give help with statements and nothing for us to work on

uneven mason

which is also what i said before

sick sentinel
#

Which leggy are the goto in m+ here in pre-patch?

mighty valley

seismic in m+, wall or reprisal in raid probably

OH

#

ngl i was expecting a regular copypasta but its actually informative

radiant magnet
#

I thought it was in pins

lusty grotto
#

i think pins have a limit cause the SR/blockable list got pushed off

slow estuary
#

ye i seem to be doing prty low damage@coarse flower and i cant point my finger on whats the issue

lusty grotto
#

i might be wrong

slow estuary
#

sadly dont seem to have any damage logs

lusty grotto
#

no worries, just record your next run

slow estuary
#

i never log myself and people seem to rarely log damage for whatever reason

lusty grotto
#

by following that copypasta

slow estuary
#

instead they log speed of runs

coarse flower
#

nah the speed of runs are uploaded automatically

lusty grotto
#

uhhh...

#

yeah

lofty widget
#

id compare your talents to one of the ones in the pins here, then make sure you tc+ss on cd and prio revenge>>>IP unless you need to dump rage

lusty grotto
#

that comes straight from the leaderboard

radiant magnet
#

log one when you can, drop the link here - free feedback. not always gentle feedback, but free

slow estuary
#

really? weird cause then i have allot of runs that arent recorded

coarse flower
#

i might be wrong, but i think some runs won't show on the leaderboards if theyre too low or completed out of time

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

you're correct

#

its leaderboard data after all

#

it has a cutoff

#

either way it doesnt help

aight thx il make some runs then and make sure to record them

Sludgefist, so Rend falling off during the run away phases pre charge?

#

theres a few gaps

lofty widget

there should be 0 gaps in rend uptime

its a 20 sec debuff or something

lusty grotto
#

your block uptime is kind of low

#

63% of all giant fists

but again you're not asking for defensive input

radiant magnet
lusty grotto
#

either way SB pumps your SS dmg

radiant magnet

prot warrior is really just a feedback loop. the more rage we spend, the more we get back. with proper play it resonates very nicely and dps increases

Alyrion - open task manager and look for a running WoW instance. if one is open, updates cant run

Does seismic talent stack with legendary? Where revenge hits an extra time if you hit 3+ targets

lusty grotto
#

no

serene steppe
#

dang, thanks

lusty grotto
#

no talent stacks with the legendary counterpart or the conduit counterpart

#

and vice versa

#

so use them to have an extra talent point

serene steppe
#

So if the talent hits for 30% and legendary for 75% and I got both, which one gets used?

radiant magnet
#

it's blizz, so some other talent entirely - probably from prot paladin tree

lusty grotto
#

talent takes precedence iirc

#

either way most of us are using the leggo, not the talent

serene steppe
#

Man we could have had some sweet aoe if they stacked

lusty grotto
#

we do have some sweet aoe

#

no need for more

serene steppe
#

Sweet-er!

lusty grotto
#

wouldn't make sense to have clear balance data

stable valve
lusty grotto
#

makes a lot more sense than having revenge topping your damage

#

with 2x seismic

#

and any other variation doubling down on conduits/talents

#

and while balancing is probably being done with DF as a base, and not this pre-patch, outliers can be identified... just not as easily as when you double down a power gain

mighty valley
#

there's ultimately probably a boring implementation reason for things not stacking

#

would likely cause more bugs that aren't worth fixing for a mere four weeks

lusty grotto
#

either way there shouldn't be, i would flip a table if i had to look on how many things affect a single ability and on top of it having doubled down stuff

#

thinking as a dev

#

for revenge alone you have BSC and show of force amongst others

#

and of course SoF and seismic are available in other forms

#

and furthermore people might get the wrong idea about abilities in the prepatch only to see they do a fraction of what they did once DF comes out if they allowed the whole doubling down

radiant magnet
#

i blame bears
