Also you gonna get roasted

ok sure

rip me apart

its halloween afterall

Solid no complaints

torn ginkgo
#

thats no fun

urban portal
#

my main complaint is the wrists

strong forum
#

TC usage is too low

urban portal
#

take something with ilvl

strong forum
#

IP usage is too low

#

you had decently low uptime on banner because of that

torn ginkgo
lone eagle
#

bit of a simplification given that

#

brew base armor is basically nonexistent

urban portal
#

yeah thats true

lone eagle
#

Brew base armor is ~25% or so right now

strong forum
#

thats my CPM

lone eagle
#

Prot Warr is like, 70

strong forum
#

thats yours

crimson furnace
#

not having TC as nr1, we live in a failed society!!

lone eagle
#

Anyone have a good Sudden Death tracker

#

Trying to find a WA that just tracks Sudden Death and nothing else

#

I have WAs for everything else

strong forum
#

yeah with your talent setup you should be extremely close to 100% SB uptime

#

79 is on the low end

#

had only 88% blocked hits

#

should be as close to 100% as possible with your HR + ED talent setup

torn ginkgo
#

its impossible to have 100% shield block in logs, doesnt it include non combat time?

strong forum
#

it does include non-combat time

#

but should still be north of 90%, hence why you look at blocked hits

#

and 88% aint 100%

torn ginkgo
#

sure

uneven mason
strong forum
#

nowadays, kinda

torn ginkgo
#

where is "blocked hits" in logs?

uneven mason
#

Sb uptime should more or less correlate with combat time

strong forum
uneven mason
#

But blocked hits is the metric we care about

torn ginkgo
#

ah

strong forum
#

nowadays you can have easily 100% block uptime when you play heavy repercussions

#

thats why its now relatively indicative of blocked hits

uneven mason
#

Because you have dudebros with 100% sb uptime getting slapped on the ass like they're coaches favorite

torn ginkgo
muted spoke
#

do we thunderclap in ST for rend damage?

strong forum
#

you dont care about capping IP

#

you just send IP

#

to prevent overcapping rage

strong forum
muted spoke
#

nice, ty

strong forum
#

why would you not clap, you dont have the rage to forego TC usage in ST

#

which sounds to me like youre maybe using slam

#

dont use slam

torn ginkgo
strong forum
#

ofc

torn ginkgo
#

forgot about that

muted spoke
#

I didn't played any keys after prepatch, starting now ^^

strong forum
#

st prio is still SS >TC > rev

torn ginkgo
#

banner uptime I dont mind, given 1st boss sucks and the amount of RP. still have issues on ST but rarely capping rage on ST so think my haste could help

strong forum
#

banner did get a bit harder to manage in ST now

#

so yeah, happens

uneven mason
#

I'll have to try banner at some point just to say I did

#

Leveling too many alts to go back to the main

lone eagle
#

Banner is fun

#

Once you get high durations from big packs and dumping lots of rage

#

Guys how prot warr feels atm ? I plan to play tank in mythic raiding. I saw that in m+ warr is good atm , any predictions for mythic raids?

lone eagle
#

When it comes back up, you get to actually time it with group CDs

uneven mason
#

I had wished that maldraxxus had been the warrior covenant of choice back in 9.0

azure ivy
#

Lol

prisma crane
#

pwarr been like that for CPM for a LONG time

#

was arguably worse end of Legion

uneven mason
#

They never nerf bdk

zealous willow
#

I cant no spot for dk

lone eagle
#

@zealous willow with current tuning, raid meta will probably be VDH + Pwar, with Brew also showing up due to their high damage

sick sentinel
#

paladin has a billion interupts

lone eagle
#

Depends a bit on raid buffs

zealous willow
#

I was suggested to play prot war from my guild

lone eagle
#

Windwalker is doing exceptional damage atm and MW is also very good

prisma crane
lone eagle
#

so that means that Brew has less of a spot

uneven mason
lone eagle
#

Realistically prot warrior is a pretty safe bet, but depends somewhat on your cotank

azure ivy
#

I mean In an 18 junk I did 25k, my numbers were close but more like around 280-320 mark, 500 shield slams is insane haha

zealous willow
#

How is m+ ?

lone eagle
#

raid tank meta has a fair bit to do with DPS composition and covering raid buffs

#

M+ meta is looking like VDH or Prot Warrior barring any major changes

#

both have + and - to them

strong forum
zealous willow
#

Any1 of u tested DF prot warr is it fun ?

uneven mason
#

Realistically unless you're in a guild gunning for top 100 it's not going to matter

zealous willow
#

since banner uptime game is gone

azure ivy
lone eagle
#

big shield slams

#

Keeping the tier 2 set as a talent makes it feel pretty fun

uneven mason
#

Give it a go, only takes like 14hours to hit 60 and start gearing

lone eagle
#

Although the 7clap TCLAP consume bug is the bane of my existence in terms of mental anguish

#

that'll be gone in DF though

zealous willow
#

Vulpera or highmountain ?

lone eagle
#

🤷 I'd say HMT

stoic smelt
#

vulp have the most boopable snoot

uneven mason
#

Orc

lone eagle
#

Highmountain Bull Rush is really nice to have in a lot of situations

uneven mason
#

Vulp racial is pretty strong in m+

lone eagle
#

good as an AoE pseudo interrupt and a non-targeted mobility ability

hollow sun
uneven mason
#

But literally the only racial that matters is dwarf, and your on horde so...

hollow sun
#

vulpera animations sucks

strong forum
#

i personally think its the exact opposite

#

vulp animations are good

#

and tauren is among the most ugly

lusty grotto
#

lol nome

lone eagle
#

Biggest problem with playing small races as a tank

uneven mason
#

Vulp has less armor clipping

lone eagle
#

is that people are blind of tank positioning if you aren't yuge

severe hatch
#

The only real warrior race is Orc change my mind

hollow sun
#

personal preference, the tauren execute is the best one

lone eagle
#

Raid markers only go so far

#

Nobody misses the Tauren in the melee deathball

strong forum
#

i couldnt last 1 month playing tauren in legion

lone eagle
#

I'm Draenai gang personally if I didn't want to be easy and just be Horde for guild achieves

uneven mason
#

Tauren you tend to get in your own way I've found

lone eagle
#

male Draenei are BiS

uneven mason
#

Like literally the body blocks so much shit

azure ivy
#

I’m a dwarf, my dam black rock bulwark is bigger than me haha

hollow sun
#

the goofiest combo of them all

azure ivy
#

Can’t even wear my tusks and a big shield without it lookin dumb

lone eagle

played a Draenei male monk for most of Legion

and WoD

was BiS

They look pretty good in plate too

lusty grotto

lmao i cant stop laughing at the draenei shill

i started playing palading cuz of the TBC reveal trailer

with the badass fucking meraad i think it was

That set is good but imagine how much better it’d look on any other race

lusty grotto

close

strong forum

him with hammer of the naaru looking all badass n shit

sick sentinel
#

anybody noticed the aoe on shield charge looks to be around where you started charging instead of where you landed

lone eagle
#

Zandalari look really good but have some janky animations for warriors I feel like

hollow sun
#

DF sets are awesome btw

#

especially the pvp elite one

strong forum

im already ultra bored of the DF sets

cuz you get it on beta

depending on key its higher ofc

if i went more ham on aoe padding TC would be higher ofc

but gotta kill that prio target ykno

is that with seismic?

oblique garnet

ofc

#

Its m+

strong forum
#

doesnt change with either, both talent and legendary do 30% now

lone eagle
#

alright so, in defense of DRAENEI MALES

#

I dug up my old monk mog

strong forum
#

i dont like that monk set in general

lone eagle

The right mog gives you that protoss vibe

strong forum

so im not gonna offer an opinion

#

i dont like almost any monk set to be fair

lack of spikes

Antorus is slow

#

not hard to solo but def slow

uneven mason
#

Yeah you can Solo them but they take forever

strong forum
#

ya ok i think ive not been in antorus yet

lone eagle
#

NH is relatively fast as is Tomb

steep condor
#

i really wanna farm the set from ToS mythic. Is it soloable?

uneven mason
#

And Aggramar is nearly unkillable in mythic iirc I haven't tried it in a long time

strong forum
#

should be very soloable

#

but KJ bugs the fuck out for me

#

the shadow phase just didnt end

lone eagle
#

Yes but it requires some skill on M KJ

strong forum
#

even after killing all adds

lone eagle
#

You can't AFK solo KJ atleast

#

its a pretty active effort

@sweet summit is there another Oi in here?

Antorus isn't slow lol

stray sonnet
#

how does prot warrior look for DF so far? i haven't played prot warrior since BFA nylaotha

#

but im thinking of doing it as an alt

lusty grotto
#

it looks like a warrior

#

like a protection warrior

hollow sun
#

good as always

lusty grotto
#

next question

uneven mason
#

Looks good as always

lusty grotto
#

you're welcome

lone eagle
#

the Legion timewalking mage tower is the same set as M Tomb, just a recolor btw

#

@steep condor

stray sonnet
#

ok let me be more specific, is it as good as the other tanks?

uneven mason
#

Warriors bis for looks

stray sonnet
#

because no one wanted prot warriros in shadowlands

lusty grotto
#

idk i didnt have any problems

lone eagle
#

@stray sonnet prot warr is a frontrunner for DF season 1

#

for both M+ and raiding

uneven mason
uneven mason
#

Wat

strong forum
#

pwar was the 2nd best tank since s3
currently its viewed as the best tank going forward

lusty grotto
#

fotm rerollers man

stray sonnet
#

for m+ shadowlands they were wanted? i mostly saw a lot of DKers

strong forum
#

"wanted"

hollow sun
strong forum
#

no, but still the 2nd strongest

lusty grotto
strong forum
#

its just that BDK was 30-40% ahead of everyone

lone eagle
#

The S4 title cutoff was IIRC something around (when I checked a few days beforehand)

uneven mason
strong forum
#

3118 for EU

uneven mason
#

They never nerf bdk

strong forum
#

3084 for NA

lone eagle
#

310 BDKs, 15 prot warriors, 13 prot paladins, 1 bear, 9 VDH, and like 9 monks

#

something like that

#

so prot warr 2nd best

#

but there were 7.5 BDKs for every other tank combined

lusty grotto
#

interesting i wasn't aware of the class numbers for cutoffs

#

goes to show

lone eagle
#

I just counted each one that was above cutoff a few days before

strong forum
#

BDK was oppressive since their hotfix during mythic week

lone eagle
#

Probably changed a little bit

strong forum
#

and nothing was ever done about it

hollow sun
#

seems like S1 but BDK instead DH

strong forum
#

its fine bro just be OP for 10 months

lone eagle
#

BDK was way stronger than season 1 DH ever was

strong forum
#

S1 vdh wasnt even strong

#

bear was better, but nobody knew about it

lone eagle
#

Partially was bugged, partially could run away

severe hatch
#

Couldn't call any tank strong S1

lone eagle
#

and yeah Bear was better

hollow sun
#

i mean as played tanks

lone eagle
#

people didn't figure out bear was better until the end of season 1

uneven mason
#

It was fast with burst damage at 40 yards

strong forum
#

well we knew bear was better

hollow sun
strong forum
#

its just the streamers didnt until TGP

#

everybody sucked off VDH, Cardboard asassins and trees

hollow sun
#

Just thinking about my first fortified dos gives me PTSD

lusty grotto
#

lmaooooo cardboard asassins

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

fact!

strong forum
#

and once assassins got nerfed

#

everybody was like "shit vdh cant do anything anymore"

#

so bear got unzipped in tgp

lone eagle
#

VDHs biggest advantage when tanks had to run

#

was snap threat

strong forum
#

yes

lone eagle
#

ED snap threat during FB and a little wacking

#

then never be in melee ever again

hollow sun
#

i still find it hilarious that an enji item was more tanky than an actually tank

uneven mason
#

I remember trying to bring in a vdh as my second tank and then we hit heroic sludgefist

lone eagle
#

VDH was great on Sludge

#

just had to run FB build

strong forum
#

pwar was amazing on sludge

lusty grotto
#

yeah i didnt have problems on hsludge

#

with the vdh alt

strong forum
#

you intervened your VDH cotank cuz he was too weak and just popped shieldwall and you tanked both hits

#

like its nothing

lusty grotto
#

for real

lone eagle
#

As Brew I just solo tanked M Sludge

#

for large portions of the fight

#

Had to get that Niuzao cheese

#

Whenever Niuzao was up, I told my cotank to walk 10 yards away

#

let me eat the double hits

uneven mason
lone eagle
#

helped beat the enrage timer when half our DPS sucked

#

I had a super scuffed pull on the kill pull where I fatfingered my Nizzy early and fucked up my burst window massively but got rank 4 :/

strong forum
#

my groups issue was just healer CD allocation

#

and people just dying

#

dps check was easily met if nobody died

lone eagle
#

We spent like, 150 pulls on Sludge

uneven mason
#

Yeah lots of people just getting dead to stupid

strong forum
#

yah same

lone eagle
#

inerva and sludge were the bane of my guild tbh

strong forum
#

after 100 pulls i changed all healer CDs

lone eagle
#

Absolutely destroyed Artificer

#

think he died in 2 hours of pulls

strong forum
#

lucky you

lone eagle
#

spent like 4 or 5 raid nights on inerva

#

they spent 3 weeks on council without me because my mom was in a coma

#

but they killed it

strong forum
#

inerva we did in 38 pulls, but artificer was 108ish

#

in the end we did speed strat for artificer

uneven mason
strong forum
#

where we just send shit on pull

#

instead of doing dumbass "hold dps" for 20sec

uneven mason
#

Right

strong forum
#

ya we brute force everything

#

tends to work better for dps brains

uneven mason
#

Since innerva was a hell of a DPS check

strong forum
#

yea

#

inerva was just pure dps check

uneven mason
#

But artificer was coordinating all that crap at once

strong forum
#

its honestly just seeds and ghosts

#

and obv clearing traps

uneven mason
#

It seems like more than it is

#

Traps ez

#

Traps were counter able by so many classes

steep condor
#

first boss of kara upper - other than tank the boss and try to cleave the lil adds is there anything else i should be doing? Apart from moving the boss out of blue muck that is.

lone eagle
#

Tank in the middle

#

DPS and heals stand on either side

#

If you try and tank on one of the sides, can be easy to get trolled trying to get the blue sparks on you

severe hatch
#

I would prio target the adds, rather than cleave

lone eagle
#

Taunt the blue sparks when they spawn

steep condor
#

ok. i asked them to stack so we could cleave the mobs but they stood in all different places.

lone eagle
#

and prio nuking them

steep condor
#

yah

#

thats what i wanted to do

severe hatch
#

Note my highest key is only 22 so YMMV

visual wedge
#

Is there any real reason to leave dstance in keys outside of DPS? Like am I stupid for thinking its worthless to swap stances when that 20% reduced damage is to big to ever really need to swap out

steep condor
#

but being number 2 on the dmg meter prob was the issue given im a tank

lone eagle
#

Dstance only valuable if you need the DR

lone eagle
#

Right now prot is so ludicrously tanky that its not necessary in prepatch

strong forum
#

both are off-gcd

#

so you can swap based on situation

#

and you should do so

visual wedge
#

They arent on gcd

#

Oh

lone eagle
#

If you're pushing difficult keys, I recommend being in battle stance during your big nukes and swapping to d-stance for targeted nukes on you (Vampiric Strike from Dreadlords for example

visual wedge
#

good to mow

lone eagle
#

D stance also decent to sit in when rounding up packs

strong forum
#

stance dancing is going to be the real min-maxing for pwar now

lone eagle
#

then swap to battle stance once you're ready to stance and deliver

outer thorn
#

are any abilities even stance locked anymore?

strong forum
#

no

lone eagle
#

No, it's just modifiers

strong forum
#

that system is antiquated for a while

lone eagle
#

Prot technically has an extra talent point though

#

since we don't have to spend a point on battle stance which is nice

strong forum
#

well

lone eagle
#

dps warrs have to spend a point on d-stance if they want it

strong forum
#

its not really an extra point, for dps warriors its easier to just path down

#

we have to spend 1 extra point to path down

#

so nobody gains anything really

lone eagle
#

fair enough

strong forum
#

dps warris get an on demand 20% DR and we get some utility or weak throughput ability

lone eagle
#

I'm honestly excited partially because I think prot will be meta for flag carrying in RBGs

uneven mason
lone eagle
#

Having been a Brew player, its been a looooong time since we've been a good FC comparatively

#

Gonna be nice to centralize all my ranked gameplay on 1 toon rather than having a M+ tank, an RBG tank and a raid tank

cobalt seal
#

hmmm

#

warrior as flag carrier

lusty grotto
#

true no more bear leggo

cobalt seal
#

is still monka

lusty grotto
#

i had completely forgotten about it

cobalt seal
#

they can't sneak like bear

lone eagle
#

They get it as a talent that they have to invest a lot in to get

cobalt seal
#

they are slower than vdh

lusty grotto
#

i see

lone eagle
#

and its a 1.5m CD 10s duration

lusty grotto
#

idk about slower

cobalt seal
#

gl charging into middle of the enemy team

lusty grotto
#

leap, 2 charges if stars align, intervene, dragon charge, shield charge

cobalt seal
#

when VDH is jumping every 8s

lone eagle
#

IDK, I feel like ranged deep wounds application in an AoE with Titanic Throw might actually lead to a sizeable amount of rage gen for a while defensively

#

but yeah VDH mobility is higher

#

to just spam out IPs while being chased

lusty grotto
#

can probably slam a point in B-SV to make up for the fact that we dont have trinket-less cheat

tired wasp
#

<-- MS Pally, not carrying flags. 😄 😄 😄

lone eagle
#

Dragon Charge, Intervene, 2 charges, and Heroic Leap w/ bonus movespeed though is a non negligible amount of movement

#

Even if you have to charge enemies :/

lusty grotto
#

and shield charge if people are not positioned correctly

lone eagle
#

and Shield Charge, yeah

uneven mason
lone eagle
#

tbh just run for the teamfight, charge in, charge again, shield charge to someone out of position

#

dragon charge out and then heroic leap even further

cobalt seal
#

and get cc mid way

lusty grotto
#

reflect

#

unless youre talking about nova

lone eagle
#

Spell Block also nice to have

olive steeple
#

how good is punish

urban portal
#

its pretty decent

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

you'd have to burn a trinket off of that

#

but still there's so much cc reduction on talents

urban portal
#

execute got nerfed while shield slam is as strong as ever

#

punish is exclusively st tho

lusty grotto
#

ah yes avatar covers nova

olive steeple
#

im thinking about trading punish and bolster for disrupting shout and thunderlord

#

in the "no leggo" build

uneven mason
#

My favorite is when you charge a mage, and they blink in the direction you were going

#

Like express service

olive steeple
#

and then take booming voice down low

urban portal
#

thunderlord isnt good on st

#

well not as good

#

you almost always take booming

lusty grotto
#

it also desyncs Demo

#

would have been great if AM still worked on demo but alas

urban portal
#

you mainly just want thunderlord for aoe

lone eagle

I'm honestly so excited to be pressing Shield Charge in general

cobalt seal
lone eagle

I don't know why but I love that button

#

Oh true, forgot about Felblade and The Hunt

cobalt seal
#

magic dispel on 12s cd

lone eagle

Also don't forget all the free movespeed from mastery now

#

if you have any, I guess

cobalt seal
#

you might have some

urban portal

you always got speed from mastery

#

been like that since SL

#

at least

vdh doesnt get movspeed from mastery or?

What's everyones take on Seismic Reverberations legendary

#

huge dps upgrade and better than The Wall?

uneven mason

Does it need slapping

#

Or does it need tanking

edgy bone

Hmm

Doing +21-24 range keys right now

uneven mason

They're both good but why not both

strong forum

Either or doesn't really change anything

The legendaries are the same as the talents

edgy bone

Been running these lately

The 4 blue circles are the changes I made

#

my dps is pretty low

#

but i dont die

strong forum
#

That block uptime is overkill

#

You don't need bolster + hr + Ed

#

But if your dps is low, the legendary choice won't change that

#

It's a minimal impact that those legendaries have besides freeing up 1 point on warri or prot tree

but its for what? medivh?

Tough as nails has basically 0 value on upper

lusty grotto

that's true

#

So yes Spellblock is the way to go

lusty grotto
#

just make sure youre using it

torn ginkgo
#

its mainly medivh, but also yea block is weird for upper

lusty grotto
#

its activated

strong forum
#

Seismic also doesn't do anything there

#

So play either reprisal or the wall

#

Basically play full ST build + spellblock

thoughts on this for upper?

#

Sudden death instead of show of force

#

And move 1 wildstrikes point to unstoppable force

torn ginkgo
#

yea I was not sure about that one

#

didnt know what offered more on ST

strong forum
#

It's more about the rage economy on that one tbh

#

UF makes you spend more globals not spending rage and instead generating it

#

In ST it's a bit tougher now

Dont forget to intervein a flame target on mediv to reduce their dmg taken

freezes in raid?

had it happen a while ago on the regular fated rotation and then it stopped

and now its happening again

azure ivy

We only taking sudden death in upper and workshop? Otherwise show of force?

lusty grotto
#

not sure if workshop is a good call

#

it can go either way

#

anything that's ST focused

#

upper most notably since you cant really pull big there

#

except for manas

#

but that's the very small exception

uneven mason

Nom should, or late

But like depends if they're being 5tank scummers

lusty grotto
uneven mason
#

I'm not sure on blizzards new philosophy of letting bad double down on bad by letting some classes just not grab their interrupt

lusty grotto
#

yeah ive been noticing

uneven mason
#

Maybe that's why they made us so tanky

lusty grotto
#

if people keep going with these builds

#

those 20s are gonna be way harder than current 26s

uneven mason
#

So we can compensate for stupid

lusty grotto
#

not because we're gonna fail

#

dps is gonna be renamed to floor tank

#

they'll find a way to blame tanks

#

they always do

#

but warrior, you have pummel baseline

#

and youll be scratching your head looking at the cooldown

#

might be a good idea to invest in rogues 😄

#

rogue baseline kick stock is going uppppp

azure ivy
radiant magnet
#

need a WA interrupt tracker that highlights at start if they dont have the talent

#

pre-key

lusty grotto
#

someone was working on one

#

or idk if its a meme

uneven mason
#

Legitimately that's how you get people to start interrupting, have it kill the DPS not the tank

#

We do our jobs

lusty grotto
#

indeed

#

its a good call on blizzard's part

#

honestly

#

and i dont say that much

radiant magnet
#

at one point in Beta that was kind of a thing. the mobs cast an enrage, 2s cast, if you dont interrupt it lost aggro and got +1000% dmg

lusty grotto
#

not to mention, the non-talented tricks/misdirect

uneven mason
#

Why'd I die, well, I pummeled the tank buster, it's up to you to kick "shadowcleave9000"

lusty grotto
#

which might end up not being needed but still

radiant magnet
#

w/ tricks & misdirect - if they get aggro and die, on them

#

tank dies - healers fault. healer dies - tanks fault. dps dies - dps's fault

lusty grotto
#

you know how theyre going to respond though

#

if you dont get snap agro

radiant magnet
#

shit tank, ragequit, deadkey

lusty grotto

like even now

when i try to triple or even double

#

theyre going ham on the first pack that i only heroic threw on

its funny

also NOBODY ever hard CCs stick in gambit now

its just "fuck it, we'll let them cast it and then ignore it"

knotty idol
#

Real quick why are so many people taking into the fray over heavy repercussions? Is it possible to get 100% shield block uptime without HP?

lusty grotto
#

just press that intim shout and let jesus take the wheel

#

who are these "many people"?

#

where are you seeing this

knotty idol
#

In pins

#

I assume the pinned builds would be pretty commonplace

lusty grotto
#

did you read the legendary part

#

3/7 builds have it

#

it is totally doable, but it might not be for new warriors

knotty idol
#

Why do you think the other 4 don't? Mainly the Seismic lego one

lusty grotto
#

because they dont

#

open them up

knotty idol
#

Do they not need 100% shield block uptime?

lusty grotto
#

we didnt really need 100% uptime at all before, its only 100% when actually getting melee'd or physical range'd

#

that hasn't changed

knotty idol
#

Right so rather just have the haste for extra comfort?

lusty grotto
#

and it has been like that since vanilla basically

#

if you can manage uptime while getting hit with blockable attacks, and that's an important if

#

then sure haste ensures more devastator resets, etc with hasted CDs

#

and hasted SB cd which is the important one

#

but again it's an important if

#

if you dont want to deal with it, just go HR

knotty idol
#

Oh shield block CD scales with haste anyway I didn't realise that

lusty grotto
#

that's one of the biggest reasons we primarily go haste for

urban portal
#

i think nome swore by HR

knotty idol
#

Gotcha

urban portal
#

the rage from HR is still huge

knotty idol
#

I assumed it was for rage gen

lusty grotto
#

i def do not recommend ITF if you're just getting the hang of Warrior though

urban portal
#

ITF is weird

#

its only good in faceroll contents

mighty valley
#

i haven't clicked through the builds but worth mentioning you really don't need anything close to 100% uptime in raid

lusty grotto
#

yeah

mighty valley
#

the others are probably just happy to pump in lower keys where you're not really scared of dying anyway

lusty grotto
#

as long as its 100% when you're getting hit with blockable attacks only, then that's fine

mighty valley
#

yeah, and if you're smart with your downtime, making sure it's when you're mopping up a pack and barely anything's left anyway, it's not a big deal

#

we lived with lower than 100% uptime all of SL

lusty grotto
#

overall dungeon completion uptime on SB means nothing

mighty valley
#

yeah i'm just saying it as shorthand

lusty grotto
knotty idol
#

Okay so HP in most content until I get used to things I suppose

#

Then swap to ITF for raid and parsing

lusty grotto
#

nah i dont know if ITF in raid is the call

#

but worth a try

#

on keys it might be different

#

it makes sense what harrow says though

#

youre not always actively tanking so HR might not be as good, however the rage gen is

#

its debatable

mighty valley
#

do what feels right til sims are finalized

#

then we can all laugh at whoever was wrong

lusty grotto
#

true true

#

any good ignore pain weakaurs for 10.0 yet?

#

yeah idk

to track the absorb amount and time left.

lusty grotto
#

what for

mighty valley
#

if you want one, there's one in pins, scroll down a bit

wide fiber
#

thxs

mighty valley
#

but yeah, in practice it's honestly kind of a distraction

lusty grotto
#

probably best to let them figure that out

#

it'll weed out the bad rage management

wide fiber
#

why wouldnt i want to know that info???

lusty grotto
#

its not important

#

let me ask you something

#

if youre almost to rage cap

#

what do you press if you have an IP up?

#

and are in GCD

#

because if the answer is not another IP then you're not managing rage correctly

rigid schooner
#

IP is off the GCD no?

lusty grotto
#

correct

rigid schooner
#

so it would be the best choice

lusty grotto
#

indeed

rigid schooner
#

yeah ive been doing that if im overcapping cuz i cant get out enough revenges i feel

lusty grotto
#

yeah but people looking to track IPs are usually holding off on pressing IP

#

and we dont understand why they feel that way

#

well

rigid schooner
#

the tierset made me use IP alot tbh

lusty grotto
#

we kinda get the same answers

rigid schooner
#

i do have a IP tracker but really its just so i can tell if mine is running out

runic tundra
#

not overcapping rage > overcapping rage

rigid schooner
#

which happens rarely

radiant magnet
#

in general, overcapping is bad. IP it doesnt matter but thats the exception.

#

overcapping rogue combo pts = bad. overcapping BDK bone shield charge = bad.

#

we break that ppatern. confuses ppl.

lusty grotto
#

i mean i do use marok's tracker, numbers are cool, im just not actively monitoring it. Just send the IP

rigid schooner
#

yeah i come from overcapping BDK bone shield charges and overcappnig holy power as prot pall

#

as in me practicing

#

to avoid that

#

so i got used to managing rage pretty quick

#

but knowing when to spend on what with rage is a different cookie for me atm

radiant magnet
lusty grotto
#

and banner uptime

rigid schooner
#

yeah is it okay to use IP for banner uptime?

lusty grotto
#

and outburst

rigid schooner
#

because thats what ive been doing

lusty grotto
#

of course

radiant magnet
#

yeah, lots of perks that outweigh the shield alone

rigid schooner
#

poggers

lusty grotto
#

i mean as long as you're not starving yourself on it

runic tundra
#

i.p could read: "spend 40 rage on nothing" and youd still press it to not overcap rage

rigid schooner
#

yeah ofc not

mighty valley
#

if your entire thought process is "i only press IP when i'm gonna overcap rage otherwise" you'll be right in 99% of cases, and also get pretty good value out of IP in our current state

radiant magnet
#

the cap is your max rage - thats important. not the max IP.

lusty grotto
#

yea

mighty valley
#

the other 1% is like... yeah, maybe you wanna buffer a really big tankbuster in killer content, that's when you might care how big your current IP is

devout heron
#

do you use defensive stance on keys or offensive stance

lusty grotto
#

yeah but Brut Vit should cover that too

radiant magnet
#

you will have times where you can put that rage into a Revenge or Execute instead - thats fine. you will have other times where you need to burn rage now to avoid your max rage cap - "waste" it on IP is fine

devout heron
#

battle stance seems less gained effects but defensive cuts %10 damage from you

rigid schooner
#

i see using IP in legit two different reasons either outburst/banner uptime or using it to not cap rage

lusty grotto
#

you cant revenge on gcd lock is the important part

#

but you can weave IPs in

mighty valley
#

if the content you're in is doing threatening damage to you basically all the time, stay in dstance. for most of what we're doing right now, we can mitigate and self-heal all the damage we take even in bstance so we're fine chilling

rigid schooner
#

cuz i know revenge is i believe

radiant magnet
#

it is

#

it's a fairly small dps increase during the execute window. like 2-3%

#

chances are during the execute window, if you are tanking, you will want to favor 4pc tier set bonus w/ revenge. but thats your call

#

can do both, but it may drop the 4pc bonus

mighty valley
#

i think framing it around "where should my rage go, IP or revenge?" is setting people up for failure

#

the fundamentals are fill every GCD with a rotational ability. if you're ever too starved to press revenge when nothing else is available, you've likely done fucked up

errant marsh
#

hi guys, do you know if it's possible to do a WA able to say, if i haven't aggro then go battle stance ?

like a warning on the screen? or literally puts you in the stance?

#

first is possible, second is likely not

errant marsh
#

no no juste warning XD

Can't you just tell with nameplate colours

it should

unless if they dont play with nameplates

then that's another issue

errant marsh
#

it's to not forget to swtich the stance in raid 🙂

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

you dont need stance for threat

errant marsh
#

i have already done the opposite, so if i'm in battle stance but i have aggro then show aura, but i have pain to do the other one

lusty grotto

stances dont add threat or anything

That's just muscle memory for you to train

lusty grotto
#

unless default nameplate colors change for some reason?

strong forum
#

Im also not a fan of defaulting to dstance in all situations

mighty valley
#

i think for everything besides mythic tankkiller bosses like a denathrius or jailer, we'll probably treat DStance more like an always available CD for tankbusters

lusty grotto
#

i just did a heroic sepulcher and never once did i swap to def stance

strong forum
#

If you're about to overcap, pump IP

#

That's what's it's there for

#

Well, you only dump with revenge when SS and TC are both on CD

#

Aswell as all your CDs

#

So you better get used to dumping with IP

mighty valley
#

in big enough target situations you're just gonna overcap sometimes in CDs, outside of that you might just not be dumping with IP early enough

Only in bigass pulls do you forgo using SS in favour of revenge

And at that point you're likely spamming IP+revenge

for legendaries/conduits and talents, if you take the talent, it'll override

radiant magnet
#

all DF tanks are solid right now. all are very tanky w/ 60-70% of a dps worth of output

#

'worst' is arguably Bear - tankiness and output decent, but crap design

#

not counting prepatch cause I still hate SL too much for that

whole narwhal
sick sentinel
#

im not crazy about druid main tree or priest main tree

radiant magnet

bear tree is garbage, but playable

#

if they fix it, bear becomes very decent - but needs a 90% redesign

whole narwhal
#

Priest tree is awkward, but the class feels pretty good

median tulip
sick sentinel

yeah

#

cuz the main tree always stays the same

median tulip
#

Druid class tree felt like it suffered from having to cater for 4 specs

sick sentinel
#

same choices more or less, those options don't swap alot other than contextual like, its triggers a heal spell for healer and tank thing for tank on same node

median tulip
#

Priest I thought was ok. It seemed very much like "go right for DPS, go left for heals"

radiant magnet
#

just feels like wasted pts, even tho there are times where you might use them. rare times.

sick sentinel
#

i didnt like that you need to put 3 talents into 1 node, and in multiple locations

#

and it seems no other tree does this

radiant magnet
#

yeah, just poor design

median tulip
#

Druid could do with having a bunch of spec changing talents like the UF/IO (for Prot) becomes BT/WT (Arms) and BT/TT (Fury)

whole narwhal
#

There's only one point in priest I'd move, just cause the tuning blows for it, the mana back on swp kills

Druid just feels very locked to getting stampede and innervate, and that's it

I've pretty much decided I'm not going to do my priest in DFS1, as I'm only going to go with Warrior Main and Shaman Alt, but Holy Priest looked decent

If you aren't dying then you should be damaging.

median tulip
#

Generally I don't spam Revenge; as you say, there's usually a builder comes up between each

mellow quartz
#

Revenge does a lot of damage in aoe. If you pull big enough and have enough rage gen going from bloodsurge etc then you can absolutely just spam revenge and TC

#

If you have no prio target to damage, have enough rage gen and have SB up then fine in really large pulls.

Like triple pulls in gambit etc

Revenge is... I think 45% AP base, plus whatever talents and effects you have running to improve it. Shield Slam starts at 80% IIRC, and there are more Revenj bonuses than SS ones

see who and how many NEVER take a silence or self heal or who ALWAYS takes the DR option or crit buff

I saw someone the other day who said they were working on an addon or weakaura to shame anyone joining their M+ groups if they didn't have their interrupt talented

sick sentinel
#

that's just elitists

they are going to do that kinda shit anyways

median tulip
#

"Have your interrupt talented" is not an elitist attitude

sick sentinel
#

no, but an addon to automatically announce it is borderline name and shame

#

its in a grey area

median tulip

It's exactly the same as "these people don't have food/flasks"

nobody will get banned over this stuff, but nobody will really give a shit, because outside of some spergout meltdown it will never be a point of contention for most of us

my hope is that people run like 2 to 3 talent builds per spec, depending on key or raid

lavish oracle
#

Honestly, in bfa, we could stay in for so long on necrotic, it wasn't that big a deal if they popped them wrong but it was like a 1% dps difference (and I think it was even a damage increase on ST) so if people didn't swap they were just being stubborn

Hi i’m a new prot warrior/wow player in general. I’m going to hit lv 50 soon and wanted to set up keybinds/ui.

I was wondering what you guys have for binds, like what keys you use/how you group keys/macros you use. I also wanted to try to incorporate mouse buttons like scroll wheel and m4/m5. As I understand so far the main buttons to upkeep seem to be shield slam/thunder clap, and shield block/ignore pain. Would you recommend binding those to mouse buttons? Just wanted some thoughts. I was having difficulty finding prior examples when searching the discord . thanks !

mighty valley

Those four + revenge are the buttons you press very regularly, so wherever's most comfortable for you

(but i'm a sicko that uses ESDF for movement)

dry heart
#

Your set up is very similar to mine then Harrow

split kelp
mighty valley
#

yeah, I wouldn't recommend macroing defensive abilities into rotational abilities, might feel easier at first but you want control over them

#

also yes, you should take devastator

rustic pagoda
# split kelp That’s interesting, so does this mean you’d cast both at the same time? i’d imag...

it does, but i personally never liked devastator, so i dont use it. you do run the potential issue of casting IP/SB when it isnt specifically needed, but for most instances, when youre actively tanking you generate enough rage to have a fair amount of IPs, and SB has a reasonably short CD. it also reduces the number of buttons i have to hit, which i like. again, just how i like to play, and whats worked for me.

#

and if you want devastator, can always just link both to SS

split kelp
#

Got it, thanks for the insight

I only ask these questions because i heard prot warrior is a (?) button mashy class and am typically very particular/OCD with my binds/ui setup. Wanted to try to get used to a setup that makes sense earlier rather than later

mighty valley
#

It'll be a little slower in DF but in SL season 3/4 we were probably the highest cast per minute class in the game

rustic pagoda
#

my general setup is
buttons i hit a lot: 1-5
buttons i hit sometimes: shift 1-5
CDs: alt 1-5
buttons i dont hit a lot: 6-0/shift 6-0
plus i have taunt on my mouse (only a 3 button)

You shouldn't need it currently, but there's literally no harm done if you do.

just remember

if you do more damage, you heal more, so you don't need the defense from defensive stance 🙂

Mythic is the joy of life

Also, competing on logs is way easier for HC dungeons.

Hell jeah.

#

Im seriously thinking of using bstance

#

But then Dstance sounds fun

ionic fern
#

I also move my horde character to the most alliance heavy server so i can be R1 in m+ on realm for Horde faction.

#

I got so many good ideas to get r1.

#

Amazing.

#

Because it's the D stance

Does defensive stance give more aggro or Nah

#

No

wraith hemlock
#

less aggro cuz you do less damage

When you play in Battle stance do you often find yourself swapping back to Defensive stance or is it a set and forget?

I aint hit defensive stance yet. We don't lose health if played right tbh

ionic fern
#

We are rocks right now in Pre-patch..so you can just chill in battle stance without noticing anything for the majority of content.

#

I’m gonna be in battle stance til I actually die in a key tbh

#

Then we’ll evaluate

Is there a good advanced Macro Resource/Overview aside from the very basic ones on Icy/Wowhead?

ionic fern
#

Macros are a very-very personal thing.

#

Same as keybinds.

#

So that's a vague question. 👀

For example, i'm only using some "on cursor" and the charge/intervene macro.

#

So for example could I create a Macro that only uses Shieldblock when it's not currently up?

Hi guys, I'm currently setting my Weakaura and UI up and I'm still trying to understand the importance of knowing my Ignore Pain Shield and if I will cap on the next cast? From my understanding wouldn't it be enough to just never let it run out and cast it optimally 0.5 seconds before the current application runs out. So this way it's always up and I never need to know the size of my currenct shield etc.

#

I'm asking this because the Luxthos Suite has this Ignore Pain Bar and I'm not very comfortable with it and would prefer a Icon with remaining duration shown.

Hello again.
Don't overthink Ignore Pain. Treat it as a "rage dump".
Your primary goal as a Protection Warrior is to not waste any Rage.
Your main mitigation tool is Shield Block - it should be kept up as much as possible while taking blockable damage (most melees and also certain boss abilities).
Ignore Pain is just a "buffer" that you add on-top of Shield Block.
Yes, Ignore Pain caps out at 30% of your Maximum health but overcapping is 100% okay. Since it's off the global cooldown it's the perfect button to press when you need to dump extra Rage.

pulsar marsh

Thanks Mwahi 🙂

Should pin that imo

#

All the new warriors heard someone somewhete say not to overcap ip

ionic fern

yeah with all the information in the guides and also this big fat Bar in the Luxthos Suite I thought it's super important to micromanage that - but how can I not overcap while not letting it run out? I mean that's not impossible right? or am I missing something? the shields is lost when the buff runs out right?

ionic fern
#

Yes, you lose the Ignore Pain absorb when the timer runs out.
"Don't overcap" was meant for Rage. You don't want to overcap Rage. Overcapping Ignore Pain (casting it again while already at 100% value) is fine.

#

Rage is a more important resource than the insignficant amount of Ignore Pain.
Remember that using Rage feeds into Indomitable and Anger Management.

FYI, Seismic Reverb Legendary is bugged. It is doing the exact same bonus as the talent is currently doing. When comparing the details revenge damage is exactly the same, even though legendary states 75% increase vs the talent's 30% increase.
