depends on how well you SS
every tank is right up there
Nom your right - maybe we're finally equal
pwar is only slightly in the lead
removing UW was a huge win in not being 20% better than every tank
now we're like 5% better
it's if you need 2 SWs one after the other (2 charges), or having more SWs overall
in terms of "feels good to play" its gotta be prot war or brewmaster for best tanks
@strong forum the 3 rage from Wall would equate to abt 5% extra rage over a key (just by looking at this 1 HOV key I did so great sample size).
20k rage overall and 3 extra would be abt 1100
gotta count outbursts too
what makes brew so good right now
Either way the new talent is only good if you need to double cast shield wall
On a short notice
call is 6-7% then with outburst
Good for raid prog when u phase sometimes and don’t others
brew does receive +16% healing from others though, and their mitigation is nutso
and crit chance = 65% duplicate heals
so in essence they still take fewer heals to heal
i found brew rotation awkward. too many buttons
Ok they already had that
can anyone tell me where I can read the lastest changes of PTR/Beta?
you probably were playing a bad talent tree
i like monk except it seems to go poof

or its possible you didnt like the interaction between purifying + celestial
which is an extra two buttons i guess
ya, and keeping tornado going
just play special delivery and forget tornado
gobbamak owns
I did paly SD, but felt like I wasn't as good as I could be then
its almost exactly the same average damage output in my experience
w/ proper play and cd management, monk is good. just like all the tanks tbh
I played brewmaster to 2500 rating in s4, once i switched to SD i never went back
brewmaster just feels different now because they lost 4 piece, which was ENORMOUS for their self healing
but with that being said, prot war feels like a dream, so smooth
was actually lower
ye straight up just chaining after moroes
all the way to maiden
also SD isnt target capped, tornado is target capped at 5
my point lol
saw that clip - slight?
totally normal phenomenon
Titanic took on some slight water
picking up prot war after prot pally feels too soft. is there a point to keep rend on my bar if I run blood and thunder?
in gambit 27 i did 25k 
no
only scenario I could think of to keep rend on your bars was pvp where TC was on CD or something, but seems like a stretch
Which build are you using to get that big deeps
What's his name
in this i just played normal seismic build
this one
Nom "check the f**king pins" eratur
why do you play indomitable over BV when you are not really tanking anyway? get the prot pala to heal you
comfort
in upper kara its quite beneficial to keep indom
also 0 burst to send into BV windows
but ye it would be slightly more damage
but at that point
i could just go my no shield spec build
and do even more
TL+BV is also just trash
you dont need it at all
and like i said, you dont have any burst to send into the BV window
Raiding, wondering if I should get into the habit of M+/AoE build for trash and swapping to raid build for bosses, or just not bother
dont bother in raid
but its up to you
if anybody wants to see the meme gamba27 i linked it in promotion
I am sure it won't be 'peak degen' at all
i totally didnt die in the first pull

What's the chances we get needed to the ground before release?
might just be the compressed text from the conversion or something
yeah compresion eats that
For prepatch, is it worth taking shield charge or ravager with outburst?
you cant
I had to stop watching before that so you can keep my thumbs up 👍

My damage seems meh rn idk if im doing something wrong
now that i think about it
its defo not because you dont have ravager
if your dmg is meh its prolly cuz you dont press enoguh buttons
as dumb as it sounds
Is ElvUI broken for anyone else? Like it just doesn't do anything?
mine works
:sus: dunno if rude or not
Kekw, how does your rotation look like in avatar then? Revenge then thunderclap on repeat?
SS > TC > revenge
And is it worth dropping anything for outburst then or just wait?
on 6+ targets its TC >= Rev >= SS
Did they change up will for beta?
yes
Put in defender aegis?
What did they change up exactly was bit confusing reading from phone
Haha was broken 🤣 but Lowkey nice
nice, dumbfuck op that shouldnt exist
we already have rallying cry, one of the best raid cds in the game
if UW woulda went live
Yeah true true
every m+ comp and every raid team would have 1 or 2 prot warris
I was about to say 2 warrior strat 🤣🤣
especially in RWF youd only see double pwar
unless grip gets a niche
then you bring 2pwar 1bdk
saw they deducted Sesmic though
thats just a backend fix
for dps
Reduced
nothing that affects us
Yeah but clear to 30%?
Uh I updated it by dragging the files in and letting them overwrite
Oh
Still ain't fixed
just extract right into addons folder
Ohhh gotcha
should work
Does TC only apply rend if your rend is off cooldown?
Damn, did that twice but no luck
Nope will reapply it
Nome can you pin the answer to that question, i feel it gets asked way too much
Dude this ui is nice for newbies but I like my addons
yeah its getting a bit much
Haha yeah I have seen that question a lot but so glad don’t have to apply then tc
The new ui has a handful of things that need to be able to be resized or removed
------------Rend------------
How does Blood and Thunder work?
With Blood and Thunder and
Rend talented, Thunderclap
automatically applies Rend to 5 targets it hits.
- No you dont need
Rend on your bars
Should I use Slam
and Whirlwind
?
- No
I enjoy my bartender and plater more though
I would be 9/10 happy w it if I could remove the fucking xp bar lol (at least in arenas)
They glossed over a lot of important customization options
Rend doesn’t have a cd
plater spams errors for me. anyone else getting that.
@strong forum what is your main name?
Also the new arena frames don’t show DRs how could a new player possibly know what is going on without that knowledge being built into the base ui
@ebon wren not for me
take a guess
Dude I tried looking you up
And it said player not found 🤣🤣
Was looking you up gear wise yesterday when you were showing stats for m+
Nome the ratur 
Swear I typed in right thought I was losing my mind but no biggie
works on my machine
Noticed you were running vers for gems and enchants instead of haste
Anyone know the spell IDs for Outburst and Seeing Red in prepatch>
yeah vers simmed higher
Looks like they changed

I love it when people stalk for gear
Figured yeah just now gearing warrior up since I’ll main in DF
my character is 100% built for damage
@urban portal nothing wrong with see how others do things lol
I run my bear and pally tank different from others 🤣
It’s going to be Ilvl+what sims better
Aww man thanks for advice ❤️
That applies to 99.9% of players
Just did a 18 gambit with a 229 shield haha
What’ll be amazing is not having to pop legendaries into the sims anymore
talent builds alone will be a pain
but for that they need to be implemented into simc first
would be nice if we can import game string
you can
Talents shouldn’t be any worse than simming conduits- right?
just need the addon
it would be a lot of iterations 😦
Much worse
there are alot more options
already working? last I looked it had issues
Worse in terms of waiting or clicking ?
Anyone?
1.5mil
Anyone know?
So you’re saying the code to sim it correctly?
violent outburst is diff
Every conduit+every leggo+every talent isn’t even close to new talents
and just simming it in general
SR = 364006
VO = 386478
theres alot more to compare
There’s infinitely more variations
So what's the verdict on TC now @strong forum
I'm assuming I should hit it more than the 65 times total I did in keys last patch
65x per pack

So
tc gud
thats the fun part
Is it just weave in and out
if youre on 6++ targets you can even stop using SS
Mine in keys overall last patch was like 79% avg but I'm assuming it's higher now
Granted I was also a demon in S3
Yea
myea makes sense
Actually unfair
Naw it's okay I'm autistic
They prescribed it so brain zoomie
100% uptime on banner, 95% uptime on IP/SB
Was projecting a full JoJo's stand on that shit
well yeah 100% banner is normal with a bit of practice
Amphetamine salts go brr
my SB i chilled at 83%
Naw yeah
was good enough to break all leaderboards
But for some reason 100% overall uptime for S3/S4 was treated like it was difficult at times here
People said aim for 80%
Even though that was like
No bueno
I may be misremembering I'm also high
as soon as s3 released and you got 4pc 100% was comfortably achievable
with 2pc 80% was aight
Ye
Okay first key of prepatch incoming
Can't wait to see if I blunder
World 17 IO to shitter arc incoming
if you played any s3/s4, it's really hard to be bad now
I am also high off some very strong durban
you cant, your a a prot warrior in df prepatch
Plka tanked a pull on a 29 with broken shield
@strong forum hey man just updated your WA pack. did you remove most of the buffs from the buff line? it now only tracks SB and battle scarred veteran
for me at least
What is that
no didnt remove any buffs
Oh lol
why does my life then suck
I do like you self promote a video of you dying on the first pull of the dungeon @strong forum 🙂
im a humble god
I setup nomes wa yesterday and it was great
humble god posting a gambit where you have infinite rage all key due to bloodsurge indeed
?
this doesnt load? for you
Why do we have CD on battle shout, and druid not have CD on Mark of the Wild ? 😦 😦
one of those really really important questions in life
anyone try the IF/THEN set for attack from behind + haste? i got this set for arms. i assume its not realistic to proc but the haste is tempting to try
the proc angle is 270° outwards from the back
to proc if you need to wiggle left and right
seems doable?
Everyone uses that
i use the 3ability one
you guys happy with tank warrior ?
alot more chill
i would prefer that but only have BEHIND
Hard to ask for more than current war
UW reverted but also not getting nerfed after that
Uw= aoe shield wall?
We are dead
damn, im playing a dead class again smh
Lol
Yes
You don’t like the play style 🤔
I personally don't like maximum over-TC, but I don't dislike it enough to not use it. Most everything else is solid
I am just confused as the play style is the best thing abt prot war atm imo
Well @60 were missing a few buttons
@strong forum with show of force do we just use TC on CD ?
You can play IO instead of UF
rather than spending more on revenge
Less TC that way
^^^^
I love clapping so I am happy
Like I said, I don't dislike it enough to not use it. Compromises
I'm glad it's an option for the people who like it, though
That's the thing I really like is that there's actual moderate choice and identity you can carve out
hell, fury got an entirely new playstyle
icy veins showing prot warr lowest dps in pre-patch?!
ah - this is raid dps i think
How many of those prot warriors in raid are rat alts at ilvl 250 🤔
Look at how low their dps is
Well
It’s 99% alts just dusted off
@strong forum no it didnt from using the WA update client. I re downloaded it from wago and imported it and it worked fine. not sure if you wanted defensive stance not to show as well when toggling from battle stance in the stance bar. i just added the aura and it worked fine. could be skynet fucking with shit
Rn we are missing so many big buttons
thx nom
i dont doubt it - i did some m+ today and felt godly
Like IV shows bear is by far the best dps
We should definitely keep arguing that
Bear is turbo broken
In pre-patch
Easily best dps tank
Cuz of venthyr
They do 50k overall dps in keys rn
Doesn’t help so much in ST does it?
good... good... nerf them
They posted raid dps
Guess they pad on motes
Motes
anything to keep blizz devs looking elsewhere
Go check tank dps on lihuvim
send them your toe pics. keep them busy.
Saw a bear doing 3.5k ST dps in a key the other day
might have to end up specing beserker shout for leveling cuz atal dazar fears lol
Lmao fucking got them
I made this build for raid, what u guys think? 😂
Blood And Thunder with no rend... it's a bold move...
They were really silly not to disable all Shadowlands-specific abilities for pre-patch. It's so much harder to tune and get a feel for the classes with ridiculous combos everywhere.
Why would you not pick UF
the bottom mid cheat death thingy seems really overkill
Troll build is troll
Super troll
Yeah UF, in prot tree remove BSV and BV and go for Shield charge with the bottom right node as well
Shoulda skipped Devastator though
lemme see what the true troll build looks like
No blood surge and you took the devastation buff this looking spicy
I wanna see a version of mdi where each team gets to select the others' talent build
Now I’m gonna go make a troll build
any decent trinkets I can snack from current dungeons? I don't raid, so can't get those
So'Leahs maybe? Anything else?
I hear codex of the first technique is pretty good
do you use plater @strong forum ?
Hey guys I made a raid build
great vs bosses
looks great 🤣
see that is the reason warrior raid dps is so low in statistics, all @mighty valley fault
You didn’t take both shockwave talents? What are you a troll?
for M+ anyone figure out a good build for high keys?
immovable object > unstoppable force?
i'm doing this so far on new warrior
what is this to you?
only lvl 26
Just did my first dungeon as Prot and had a hard time keeping threat sometimes. Should I be using Revenge a lot?
if it was your first dungeon were you 50 ilvls below the others?
The opening can be stressful with people popping off around you
i thought it was funnier that I only took the shockwave talent that does literally nothing to bosses
I’m at around 250 with 226 weapons so I’m sure that’s a big part of it. But the DPS wasn’t crazy, around 12k for top guy to my 4k
Don’t sweat it if it’s harder now, when you’re 70 with Shield Charge, Roar and Ravager, it will be much better to get initial aggro
did you look what the dps ilvl was?
to answer your first question though, yes you should be using revenge quite a lot
cause in low keys you can be 40+ ilvl below your group mates easily
That was my damage breakdown
no point looking for ways to optimize losing dps if the real reason is you are just insanely undergeared vs the people ripping threat
but just go into a pull and tc and revenge off the bat if you have issues
and use challenging shout where needed
did you just take a picture with your phone instead of a screenshot? 🙂
Yea don’t have discord set up on my pc
Sometimes also, you charge in, TC, and one of the farther mobs don’t get hit. Gotta be mindful of that
Second Wind worth a damn or a troll feature?
Troll
due to iv you dont even need it for leveling tbh
why does the pinned seismic build run bolster instead of tough as nails?
havent made it on yet this week. whats the news
maybe because its prepatch and it doesnt have as much SB uptime? otherwise i dont know tbh
😍
you can try it out, and if you have more than enough SB uptime you can probably swap it with no problems
it takes all the sb uptime talents
looked weird i was comparing it to my guildies build
not all the SB talents
it doesnt have Champions Bulwark
and if you run Seismic, you have no Reprisal
so you need the extra SB
guildy took this and i offered some insight, he usually does whatever 'the top tanks' play
i would probably take BV over Focused Vigor, but no clue rly
just try some shit, and swap it if you dont like it
i have my perfect build using reprisal
does Seismic Reverberation stack? if you have the talent + the lego?
no
im confused am i not supposed to use reprisal now?
you can
you can use almost any legendary tbh
just play leaper /s
The Wall, Reprisal, Seismic Reverb
all work
oh wow the Reverb Talent is only 30% extra dam 😦
sadge
That's why if you're using the lego, you do not pick the talent, as it will default to the talent version of the effect
ah ye so they dont stack
Yeah, the talent version of any effect you have will take priority from what I remember, whether leggo or conduit or what-have-you
dumb question but is there a best build or is it all based on personal play now. i gotta watcha deep dive on what these talents really do
There's important base talents that are guaranteed pickups, and there most likely is technically a "best build",
its prepatch, you can do almost anything, but there are some ideas in the pins 
but we don't care since tuning is still possible and time hasn't developed and there's no important content
it mainly depends what content you are doing, what legendary you have, and maybe a little bit which covenant you play
haha okay yeah im good to play either necro or kyrian. just didnt wanna walk into a decent key and get steamrolled because of something dumb i missed
you can save a lot of SB uptime by some of the new talents, so Reprisal is not required. But if you have Reprisal you can play more dmg talents instead of SB uptime talents
would we still use banner the same way?
What's with the new tuning for warrior, don't see how it was a nerf?
it wasnt really
yes, you can pump Banner with Violent Outburst, BV, Bloodsurge, Reprisal rage, etc
they removed a broken OP talent combo. gave us an alternative that's in line with other tanks.
so its pretty much business as usualy playstyle wise then,
what combo was removed?
Well, dmg reduction was easy to see being removed/nerfed
party-wide shield wall
yes, but if you dont like Reprisal you can swap it out for Seismic and be just fine
you will lose a little bit of rage gen for Banner, but i dont think it will be too much of an issue
removed in beta. still in prepatch for now
im not a banner pro by any means and it wouldent mind not needing to run and charge a little less
might try out siesmic since its a clean swap
boots to boots i mean to say easy on the wallet
true but my friends love that banner effect too
its a party buff right were not that high
It’s a party buff for 15 seconds
it falls off everyone after 15 or when banner goes down. like if i keep banner up spending rage would the buff not stay on the party. theres a few bosses ive nailed keeping it up the entire time ( still getting the hang of it)
After 15 seconds
Unity does not extend the party wide version of banner
Only the personal version
you only extend your own banner, not the party version
the party falls off after 15 sec every time
I play kyrian sully. Fun af.
yeah i prob would be too if i knew how that buff worked XD
i was kyrian but mis understood that so ive been trying to nail banner down bahaha
misunderstood what?
I’m not good at banner. You really need booming voice spec to pair with spear for kyrian tho
banner is also a bit more hard since we lost Tier
How do you guys go about stance switching
I don’t. Only 10%. I like the stability of defensive
Don't stance switch just go HAM in battle stance
Heh
idk if i want to assign a keybind for that
just go battle stance when you Avatar, and go back after 🤣
is there a graceful way to do it with macro
If you are lazy just bind it to avatar
you can bind it in a macro probably
If you are godlike just never use defensive stance. If you are sweaty you can bind them to keys
But if your bad… like me..
Just use a keybind, i mean we havent that much spells
that requires 2 keybinds, you can probably macro both stances into 1 macro
Lol, surr
There is no way im gonna remember to use that keybind unless i pavlov myself with some airhorn wa
for like a month
im just gonna bind it to avatar and taunt i think
Bind battle to charge. Heroic leap and avatar. Bind defensive to shield wall, then make your healer work for a living and pump those numbers
You know what that actually sounds logical
ITF + Massacre + Tough as Nails 😄
no bolster, no Enduring Defense, no Heavy Repurcussion
just full send it on dam
why did everyone drop itf for heavy repurcussions for raid
I think ITF could be good early expansion ...
But they opinion is not welcomed here...
That*
#showtooltip
/cast [nocombat] !Battle stance
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead] Intervene
/cast [@mouseover, harm, nodead] Charge
/cast [help, nodead] Intervene
/cast [harm, nodead] Charge
/cast Victory Rush
insane macro guys
Why would you play itf
majority of the time in raid you're not gonna get huge bonuses from ITF. Heavy repercussions means more shield slam damage
No in raid you actually have guaranteed itf on max stacks but not taking HR is just worse defensively
How are you garunteed it in raid just curious
oh it works with allies now, my bad lol
In m+ there people all around you ..
I get it’s worse defensively but is it really needed right now for raid?
Always did
🤮
dont hate
you dont have to take intervene
i dont have intervene
so why use that
this was from before lol
i take intervene since i'm still using reprisal
i just never changed it
i don't have a seismic leggo and i ain't blowing money on one
are you alliance
has anyone noticed brutal vitality not working after you hit IP cap and then come back down
ah wait probably different realms
If you're asking me, I'm Horde
i keep forgetting that's a thing
moo
yes its a bug
nome said so earlier today
i can craft max boots but im on arthas hordeside so

wtb blackrock bulwark tho
do people have execute with a cooldown again rn as well?
no
awesome just me then 🙂 v cool blizzard
i remember someone mentioning it yesterday i thought but i wasn't watching for if they figured out why
no
try to unlearn and relearn any execute talents and/or relog
haha okay time to go get siesmic somehow i never got that one
relogging fixed it, still very strange
I did when I was venthyr for arms
And spec swapped prot
Infinite shield block in m+ is so, so sexy
I'm never going to get hit again bahahahahaha
leggos drop from heroic or no
It is sold by NPCs. In the Other Consumables category. An item from World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. Always up to date with the latest patch (10.0.0).
So are they changing the Lego and the talent coming up here, or just the talent. I.e is it worth crafting
what are you referring to
The shield block Lego
Second key I’ve done in 4 months
huh
Probably reprisal
no they arent changing reprisal
I mean reprisal is staying in SL if that’s what you’re talking about
New expac just around the corner
Save gold
Just getting reworked
It’s shield charge
What rework lol
i have no idea what theyre talking about lmao
Sorry shield wall
OH
They both do the exact same thing, shield charge is just reprisal given it’s own button
Will the Lego work till release I mean
why would they change the wall leggo though
sure
I’m not saying it’s literally reprisal
Okay, so still worth crafting for giggles
Go for the giggles sure
You can’t take gold with you when you die
Same, worth the month of usefulness imo
ive been making bank with r7 boots xD
I was just worried they might push the beta talents over and possibly remove it or something else stupid
I got those a week before patch to be safe, glad I did, lol
its always a possibility but those changes only apply to talents
It will get patched into retails next reset I would bet
@shut summit @strong forum Ayo what do y’all overall damage breakdowns look like in keys rn?
Tryna see if this 28k overall is good based on how I played or if there’s still work to be done
Which is very possible because I’m rusty
share build
It’s the typical wowhead M+ one with seismic on pins
I’m only 298 rn and am coming back from 3 months not playing so probably y’all will get better results
you can search this channel, nome has posted his damage breakdown many times today
Nah not really as of right now
No
Okay, good.
Bonegrinder will be gone after pre patch and that’s the only thing that would make you whirlwind, but that’s a meme conduit anyways
I'm setting up my abilities and I'm new to prot warrior, and just wanted to be sure I wasnt' dragging extra unnecessary buttons onto my bars.
not even that
hey all, a little confused on where the ability priority lies in a standard m+ pull with 5+ enemies... thunderclap > revenge > SS?
Yeah pretty much but prio TC in avatar always
aight ty
what are you confused about
just what does the most damage I guess lol
remember to buff TC with SoF revenge
no need just alternate them
It’s worth tracking
nah not really
ah i haven't really been doing that, thanks!
Ye that’s why I say if you need to. I’m autistic and I hyper focus and often forget to track buff bars unless they’re smack dab in my screen with a WA
Whatever works
SoF?
Show of Force
But you would still tc on pulls immediately for aggro, yes? We're not waiting for SoF for initial aggro?
is there a macro for swapping stances anyone can recommend?
of course not
Hehe, you say 'of course' but I'm super new to pwar so it's not necessarily intuitive to me.
you can tc on pull
I'm at "An Idiots Guide to Protection Warrior" levels. 😄
tc will get rend on enemies too which helps
by the way has the bosses needed to unlock dinar been reduced at all or is it still a shitload for the first one?
i don't have time for that 😭
Pinned
Question about the build pins, is it a combo with that legendary?
sure
is there any merit to taking the avatar/shield wall , half and half talent + the party shield wall, idk if boosting thunder clap and shockwave is enough damage to compensate for the synergy and utility of the aforementioned
is there supposed to be a CD for execute?
no
try what you want, its prepatch
in some scnearios i can see titanic throw being problematic
pulled a boss on me early, only in leveling dungeons but yeah
Am I imagining it or are my hitpoints lower?
if you're outside of shadowlands you might not be getting the renown stam bonuses
You're right. That was it.
thank you
i want to pull like a pally so trying titanic throw, will watch for extra mob pulls. shield has same issue
you learn which dungeon pulls not to use
has anyone tested if sonic boom + unstoppable force damage on shockwave does more than thunderous wounds bonus bleed damage
especially if things are dying quickly
hard to do without sims, lot of different variable
shockwave build for me - did about 12% of my damage
but wouldn't get used to it, in hard content CC DRing the entire pack on cooldown is gonna be a bad idea
meh
if everything's dying quickly and there's no threat, do what you want, go hog wild
I'm just thinking how bad people think bloodborne is, so why is thunderous wounds so recommended ? , the extra 5% per 1 point spent ?
10 vs 15
worth testing for sure...
where are people getting these shockwave builds from
it's one point, it buffs thunderous words itself, plus it's 50% more damage
none of the pinned builds have shockwave in them
I'm theorizing for DF max talents, not for pre patch sorry
how will you deal with stun DR?
i dont think anyone has shockwave builds for pre patch
you're not the first that talks about them, trust me
stun DR makes them pretty risky to run and that's just a small part of the problem
especially on high fort keys
im sure that's probably not a problem sub 20
or maybe sub 15s
mob damage is going to be ridiculous
since they cast to random people
you're not helping if you add up to stun DR
any non kickable, or physical casts will rely on hard cc that's not on stun DR, maybe fear or whatever
i dont have numbers but im sure its not being recommended for output reasons as well
are you talking about shockwave in general ?
yes
that looks fun SBoom
where would you spend your last 3 points then ?
this is the standard lower tree most likely
drop swave for crit in raid
UF vs IO tbd by sims
Swave is very comp/dungeon dependent of course
so nim would you drop swave for uproar ?
I'll probably pass on it when running with my group.
yeah for sure
if there's anything like reflecting four aetherwyrms at the same time though, i'm bringing shockwave
Haha
screaming NO INTERRUPTS. PLEASE DON'T INTERRUPT down the mic
That was always fun
I've read that casters now randomly target? Is this true across all trash?
I've heard there's just more of an emphasis on group/rando targets
rather than wicked bolts training down the tanks
never trust somebody who single target interupts painful motivation
is that the free hold one that launches you across the bridge
thats oarsmen
painful motivation is they channel it and it does a fuck load of there max hp like 60% and they get ????? buff from it
but then they re 40% life
running an avatar build that is basically like SL but so tanky anyone could play it 20+
Is it worth it to craft a legendary for a new character at this point? Trying to practice on prot warrior before DF
Up to you, this is gonna last just a few more weeks
It won't feel THAT different if you just get Unity from ZM quests and are ok with lower damage
Has anybody tried to get a "gladiator spec like" talents? I've been off and I'm just starting to review the new talents, and really enjoyed gladiator back then 😂
crafted a 291 leggo for giggles and it cost 5090 gold 😛
well we don't have any of the abilities that gladiator spec had
we don't have anything to reduce threat
so
... yeah
there's your answer
Isn't threat tied to the prot stance?
Oh
the only similarity is that you can take Shield Charge... on a 45s cooldown
😂
an ability that is called shield charge, sure
it doesn't do what shield charge used to do
Alright, thanks 😂
what did it used to do
actual out of loop not fake
does anyone have the link to a working violent outburst WA? the ones i have for my tierset arent working
im trying to scroll through the endless chats, but are we generally doing unity on pants, wall on cloak?
Actually enjoying warrior in the first time in like 7 years lol
Sorry, silly question, any one feeling a bit of 'lag' on key pushes / actions? my latency is fine and everything, seems more like a game issue.
feels different than yesterday
tiny bit yes
anyone have a working M+ interrupt WA?
that tracks interupts of members or announces interuots?
I would say track
Everything seems to be cast on key release instead of on key press. That could be the slight delay. I haven't been able to find the option to change that
ye wtf with that
I thought I was lagging as well
specially on TC spam when you pop avatar
yes!
This is a temporary fix, but you'll have to retype it each time you go through a load screen
/console ActionButtonUseKeyDown 1
It's not ideal at all
thanks for that description, that is exactly what it is, i didn't have the words
No worries
well warriors feel damn strong at 60 right now
but u gotta get quite cretive to push their damage in M+ 😄
another maintenance tomorrow for NA
Ofc
feels like its every day lol
Na needs to get servers down in peak hour
a good thing really - fixing things that need fixing!
well not feels, it is
While eu gets it when we asleep
except they dont communicate what they are fixing
we still have the same bugs as tuesday
warrior related i mean
They have bigger problems then class bugs
tf am i gonna do during morning meetings
feelsbadman
guess hanging out with the EU crew for the 3rd day in a row 😄
nope
i'm not sure if it's working for anyone yet
Anyone else having issues where like you can't loot stuff for a while, the icon to loot doesn't appear for a good bit
most issues I have are solved by reloading/relogging
Server lag kinda thing normally
I thought it was my mouse not clicking but its def wow only
Relog if it doesnt fix server related
Prepatch problems what else is new
Thats why its a month before launch
with the nerf to prot execute, is it worth even dumping rage into it anymore?
What stat prio are you guys using atm?>
are we talking now or at max in DF?
execute is still worth it on ST
Is it true we are lacking in damage comparted to other tanks rn?
our ST is not the greatest as a lot of it comes from the last talents in the tree which you won't get until DF
your aoe is great
ok i havent done much outside of dungeons, and im hitting like a truck so i wasnt sure where that sentiment was coming from
so you think you do a lot of damage but that you are lacking damage vs other tanks?
what stat do we take from seasonal affix ? vers ?
No i was doing good damage and people are telling me warrior is at the low end of damage
??????????????????????
people are telling you that the current iteration of prot
does low damage?
warrior tank is basically the best of all tanks atm lol
Veng is probably better, but Prot is very good right now.
even if my haste is 38% with procs? :D
yes, the haste buff is multiplicative so it builds up on top of your 38%
i love when people just say shit
probably people who haven't looked into the prepatch changes and think warr is where it was at previously in SL
prot warrior was never as bad as people made it out to be and was very solidly in the "good but not bdk" tier for s3-4
prot was the 2nd best tank in s4 and i won't hear any other opinions
people are just totally cooked
i've been healing a lot this prepatch and bdk is just about the only tank that stresses me out
granted in reality it's fine but compared to the 60% parry days their health bars are doing That BDK Thing again
that's kind of just how bdk is though imo
main thing is just watching their resources to see if they can heal themselves or not
Yoyo like monks
yeah they just took a break in s3-4 to be literally immortal
the time i most enjoyed bdk was in 8.3 with max corruption and all the essences
Still strong with banner
was just regularly dropping below 35% but never dying
who said prot warrior was ever getting low now
2nd best in s4 when you have a tank that is mastered the spec of prot warrior yes but 90% of prot warriors werent there
Hence they got seen as the worst tank
i find the shadow claw from zul absolutely shreds me
even with reflect up, but may not help that the pug healers havent been dispelling me
Dots hurt alot
if you hit 4 stacks and they don't dispel you
press a CD and tell them to dispel
loudly
in all caps
curse at the mtoo
that's 100% their fault
Yeah
Sitting at 9 stacks of the vamp claws like bro dispel

Yoyo my hp quit dpsing
man, if you're hitting 9 stacks theres a bigger problem than the healer not dispelling lol
what are your dps doing
... there's only one miniboss per key that stacks the debuff
Broadly speaking what kind of overalls are yas getting in 20+
real tempted to swap to highmountain tauren for the racials
mining speed, chance for more fish and meat for cooking, vers, and what ever the fuck this is https://i.imgur.com/3994nka.png
i doubt its any meaningful amount
they have a sick heritage set too
my guild is alliance, if I wasn't an officer and if blizz would implement cross faction guilds already i'd 100% swap to horde
zandalari troll, highmountain tauren and maghar orc are just infinitely cooler as warriors than any alliance race lmao
only reason id wanta play alliance is dark iron dwarf fire mage
i'm short irl, i don't want to be short ingame
Id guess night elf
nah, i've accepted my fate

night elf so you can run to your corpse faster
I'll get to swap eventually and use my 7 kill tusks of mannoroth
they just dont suit alliance lmao

https://i.imgur.com/jp8bZDR.jpeg only issue i have with playing tauren, is idk if the name would fit still
Oddly enough, I'm tall and chonky in real life and I just want to play a Kul Tiran, but I didn't play the expansion at all, so I'm not keen on redoing the whole expansion to unlcok them. 😦
Well, not strictly true. I played BFA on US servers and then switched to EU servers and play in the EU now, and have done no BFA content on EU.
Orc warrior
I'll go back and unlock them when we implement cross-faction guilds.
reminds me, i gotta level my druid so i get the heritage stuff first for highmountain
you just gotta hit cap right?
i think its level 45 or 50?
does it just show up in mail or something?
no you just get an achievement and the set gets added to your transmog collection
ah ok
iirc it's the 1% vers unless it lists that separately
Only 1 i have is for Tauren
oh sure enough lol
My only allied races are vulpera and nightborne.
never noticed that if that was always there
i mean
It's more than that. 😄 It scales with stam, but it's very small scaling.
its better than nothing?>
So 49977
🤷♂️
i mean on my druid rn it says 23

35 in bear**
That on a druid
if it scales with stam the druid is also 2 tiers behind tbf lol
yeah ima do it
Is it not possible to sim prot?
KatyPrairie ?
genius
How many of you Trolls are using a controller now
Just wanna ask to make sure i'm not imagining things or just having a warped view of the spec, but am i right in saying that its way tankier but has a little bit less damage (on battle stance) ?
gambit gaming
i fucked up 3 big outburst thunderclaps couldve probably hit 25k dps
Being tankier is more to-do with the ease which you can now keep SB up.
Before it was tied to Reprisal usage and most people sucked at it.
what are you using to track outburst
Now it's just "Hurr-durr, HR, Hurr-durr ED"
having less damage is a weird take
some weakaura from last season
but yeah i dont think people understand why it's tankier, or i should say... people that haven't played warrior before
only shows 5-7
lemme get that
Downside of fotm
Noob prot warriors like wtf why am i dying
does anyone know how to macro placing a world marker? It worked for me before prepatch
