but the very first pull is always spicy

#

especially AA

mellow quartz
#

usually charge the left add, tc and instead of leaping then running into 2nd pack to have a chance to build up more rage

#

group is always behind anyway

#

was leaping into 2nd pack earlier but that was a bad move I found

pallid quiver
strong forum
#

yes it works like that

#

it barley changes anything

pallid quiver
#

huh

strong forum
#

literally changes nothing since youll send it in melee range

#

almost all of the time

pallid quiver
#

Something something reprisal still lives

strong forum
#

the travel time of walking out to charge back in

pallid quiver
#

I could see uses in trash packs with casters, but that's about it

strong forum
#

is bigger than a gcd

#

same

#

100%

pallid quiver
#

Missing the banner speed buff'll make it good chuno harder to, yeah, that

#

Honestly yeah, same

#

I forget it has a stun, anyway

#

It also makes sense just in terms of the amount of stuff it brings with just one button press. Stun + damage + rage base is pretty solid for a 45s cd

#

which is why get rid of the stun

#

and give me it off the gcd

#

it was fun that way

#

im probably at least poking the scaly gang so i can see how they go about doing things

#

i'm looking for a lvl 50 dungeon spamming build - think it'd be ok to just pick the lvl 60 one in the pins and work my way towards it as i lvl up?

#

thx - can you remind me of something - we don't ever use slam or ww right?

zealous willow
#

is it real that maxx and other guys rank druid as best tank atm ? :X

steep condor
#

thx again

#

yah rend from the talent with thudnerclap right?

#

love that 🙂

#

in the dorki vid for m+ he said it was number 2 so i can see others saying its number 1

#

luckily im not in a world first, second or even 1000th guild so it doesn't matter

crude notch
#

Dorki's vid was purely M+. This tier list Max is doing is both

rugged root
#

Is prot a good tank to start tanking semi competitively for mythic +?

strong forum
#

Yes

rugged root
#

If I don’t normally tank but want to this expac

strong forum
#

Pwar is very easy in DF

#

And solid across the board

rugged root
#

So I can stop being a zug zug dps every expac

steep condor
#

i chose warrior as my main about 2 months ago - with no sight of the future. It's lovely to see how well it is seems like it will do! 🙂

crude notch
#

huhh

rugged root
#

I’m normally Uber competitive

pallid quiver
#

Tank mechanics by and large aren't too difficult by themselves; it's leveraging pace, positioning, and resources effectively that's the hard part

rugged root
#

Got it

#

I don’t wanna get shitted on mid dungeon 😭

honest hazel
pallid quiver
#

well, as long as you have the basic rotation down and don't die,

#

Any shit you get can safely be ignored

honest hazel
#

Getting shitted on will happen no matter what you do just smile and move on.

#

Unless your with a set group of people

somber shell
# rugged root Got it

you should watch a video or two to see how a tank pulls and positions.. you want to be predictable, be smart about pull size, and don't move unecessarily to help with DPS uptime

honest hazel
#

Pugs are just mean because internet anonymity took my 9 year old through a dungeon yesterday and they tried to kick her for not knowing a dungeon at level 30

pallid quiver
#

People will notoriously give shit for even incorrect things

honest hazel
#

Yep

#

Just smile and kill them with love ❤️

cunning turret
#

As a tank you just accidentally not grab it all if they’re high threat

pallid quiver
#

nah just kite shit on to them and go "oops my b"

honest hazel
#

Lol

#

Maybe if I wasn't trying to teach my kid good values haha

cunning turret
#

Lol never too early to learn pay back

honest hazel
#

Luckily I've tanked since this game has been out and my wife always heals so easy peasy 😂

lusty sundial
#

The updated notes make this a little confusing

#

so it's 7% then? seems odd to not just remove the the one that's no longer relevant

#

Or strikethrough it

bold wave
#

so did we get another nerf on p2 prepatch?

lusty sundial
#

i think it matches beta. they just didn't compile the notes all at once

#

Developers like copy pasting. they didn't want to have it say reduced to 7% (was 15%) 😄

wary heath
#

anyone have a nice shield block WA for keeping an eye on the timer ?

#

or equivalent

#

what do y'all use

pallid quiver
#

a bar with an icon i built

#

#

i'm dumb with color coding things so i use numbers

#

and a moving bar

#

if bar small press block

warm plinth
#

Servers are up NA

pallid quiver

Definitely an example that you should probably build your own using the built-in W-

#

LET ME IIIIIIIIIN

#

ye they up

slender wedge
#

can anyone share the talents

for this phase of prepatch

wary heath
#

i would just go the non legendary, M+ / ST pinned builds

#

for now!

to get used to it anyway

#

have the new positions for those talents swapped on live yet ?

they are different now right

#

so tomorrow we can exp the warr tank from 50 to 60 and 60 to 70 with DF right?

honest hazel
#

You should be able to go to 60 now but correct can't level to 70 until expac launches on the 28th.

#

28th/29th depending on region

outer thorn
#

xp required to level from 50 to 60 will be drastically lowered in phase 2 though, with some accounts reporting less than 2h levelling from 50-60

warm plinth
#

Well, it's lowered going forward to be clear

#

It's not just a phase 2 thing

strange lake
#

With the flat magic reduction with spell reflection is it even worth to fish for specific spells to actually reflect them?
Or should it just be be kept on cooldown when you are targeted by a spell?

crude notch
#

Great news @warm plinth it works. I was able to pick threads on my dragussy

warm plinth
#

e.g. I'm not gonna use a spell reflect on the slime aoe damage in Junkyard if there's also a monstrosity in the pull because reflecting consume is massive

#

Er, a monstrosity coming soon*

strange lake
#

So its pretty situational, depending on the pack that you are on/ which is coming up

warm plinth
#

Right. But better safe than sorry I'd say. If you don't have that knowledge, using it on magic damage is better than not using it when there's magic damage

spark agate
#

For prot ripresal or unbrekable will?

wary heath
#

Don't craft a legendary lol

#

Let SL die

hollow token
#

Another question on spell reflect - do I have to actively target the baddie casting the spell to reflect it?

warm plinth
#

No you do not

#

It will reflect the first reflectable spell to reach you though, so keep that in mind if there are multiple things casting and you have a preference on what you reflect.

hollow token
#

Perfect. ‘Preash

#

Got it. Thanks.

#

Is there any kind of visual feedback when a spell is reflected?

#

Like a flash or something?

warm plinth
#

It makes a sound but honestly I can't really describe what it sounds like. It sounds like a spell being reflected 😂

sand kettle
#

Like a whip

hollow token
#

Okay I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it then.

tired forge
#

Is the Salvaged Mekacycle good now? jsut got it in the chest

#

and unsure if i should take it

warm plinth
#

If it's higher than your shield, take it. If it's the same ilevel or lower, take something else.

tired forge
#

its way higher, but i could take something else

warm plinth
#

Definitely take it then

vast zodiac
#

hey, i was just making some weak auras for my prot warrior, and i found what i think is a bug with Violent Outburst. When you thunderclap at 7 stacks of Seeing Red, you trigger the Violent outburst immediately, but you dont get the 200% dmg increase on thunder clap. and it doesnt seem to give the ekstra rage too. but you gain the Ignore Pain. Is this a known bug? ive not seen it mentioned anywhere?

pallid quiver
#

I dunno, didja check the pins for known bugs?

#

though at least one of those is supposed to be fixed as of today

#

You also don't get the rage when that happens, which is more detrimental

vast zodiac
cinder nova
#

THOSE FUCKERS

#

They moved sidearm and barbaric

vast zodiac
#

EU

mellow quartz
#

Ok good

#

Was afraid they somehow fucked it up on NA after the patch.

#

Which would be strange since it’s been fixed on beta for weeks

severe hatch
#

So these bloodsurge nerfs went through? Feeling the reduced rage gen today

mellow quartz
#

That’s what the notes say

severe hatch
#

Can't read; only bonk

#

Kind of thinking of going TL/BV for banner uptime

cinder nova
#

You don't need to to keep banner up anyway

#

But yeah, that's the DPS spec

severe hatch
#

DPS spec is Show of Force / ITF

#

With the rage gen nerf I am not 100% that you can keep banner up in ST without BV/TL

cinder nova
#

You take SoF in your cov

#

Don't be a dink

severe hatch
#

Please feel free to compare the conduit to the talent

cinder nova
#

Well, you see - something about having both TL and SoF is probably better than just one or the other.

#

But go ahead, do less DPS.

#

You also can keep banner up with just BV and 2p

#

So, TL is unnecessary.

#

Because - you know - nobody was using it in the first weeks of SFO when our tier became the tech that opened up NL viability

severe hatch
#

Who is talking about not taking Violent Outburst?

cinder nova
#

Bro what planet are you on.

#

You take SoF in your Cov and TL in your spec. BV and Outburst is enough to keep up banner, not keeping it up is just bad play.

#

Then you have your cake and eat it too. We can make harder choices when Covs are outmoded

cobalt seal
#

So tbf

#

If you pop banner on st

severe hatch
#

I feel like you've misunderstood me; before the most recent patch I did not take BV and maintained Banner without it. I was literally just speculating that I now need BV to keep it up in single target

cobalt seal
#

You gonna have some trouble keeping it

#

However. You should have enough banner banked from aoe

#

To survive the st

severe hatch
#

Some of us are still raiding baby

cinder nova
#

??? We were keeping it up with less rage than we have now

cobalt seal
#

Motes exist

cobalt seal
#

Because he himself told st banner was harder

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cinder nova
#

I haven't had any outstanding issues. The only time it drops is when I'm overprioritizing builders and not spending.

cobalt seal
#

Like i said

#

You shouldnt have problems in m+ due to aoe banking

#

And since motes exist in raid

#

Pad

cinder nova
#

I actually have more problems maintaining rage w/motes because the aff lock keeps blowing them up before rend ticks

severe hatch
#

I would have to agree, my DPS kills motes after at most 1 dot tick

cobalt seal
#

Get worst dps

cinder nova
#

Having to turn on my brain to have Ava for motes is toxic

severe hatch
#

Fck I'm inting myself all along

sly yarrow
#

Hi guys, long time ago i don play, im warrior protec forever, i only play this class, so in you opinion, is viable now?

#

for raid and dungeons?

honest hazel
sly yarrow
#

i just play warrior protection in 12 years

#

and thee last exp is not viable

honest hazel
#

Any time!

weary notch
#

aww, they put Shield Charge on the CGD. Oh well

warm plinth
#

I think it's only on GCD if you don't charge if I understand it correctly

weary notch
#

I used to be able to weave it inbetween say, shield slam and revenge

#

can't do that anymore

warm plinth
#

Yeah, if you're in melee range, it would be on GCD

weary notch
#

oh oh

warm plinth
#

But the way they worded it, if you use it to charge in or otherwise move, it doesn't trigger the GCD?

weary notch
#

I didn't try that

warm plinth
#

Let me know if you do. I haven't had a chance to check it yet

weary notch
#

you're right - doesn't trigger GCD if you open with it

warm plinth
#

Nifty

urban portal
#

you dont want to use it at range

#

but yea

warm plinth
#

Why's that?

honest hazel
#

Pretty sure you open with it unless somethings changed?

urban portal
#

because it wouldnt be amplified by your CDs

honest hazel
#

Getting sb up and all the rage right off the bat is more important

urban portal
#

and you are losing out on the opportunity cost of your regular charge

mellow quartz
#

If you go into a pull completely naked you can open with SC as you will have a harder time getting SB up. If you have resources use regular charge and use SB after demo shout and/or when grouped.

urban portal
#

regular charge and shield charge give the same rage

mellow quartz
#

SC gives SB

warm plinth
#

Shield charge gives you shield block with the talent

urban portal
#

unless you take reprisal

#

yeah

honest hazel
#

No your getting an additional 20 rage

warm plinth
#

and more rage

honest hazel
#

Yes you would always take that

#

That's why you should open with it so you aren't being smashed

#

And you have excess rage

onyx vessel
#

But what he is saying charge in then instantly shield charge

#

So you gain more

urban portal
#

yes

warm plinth
#

I don't disagree with that. Just clarifying that you do get shield block from siheld charge

urban portal
#

charge into shield charge

#

is what you should be doing

knotty idol
#

You can use demo shout while you charge at the pack and get the bonus dmg on impact right?

honest hazel
#

With it on the global your leaving your self open to unmitigated damage

urban portal
#

not if you charge into shield charge?

warm plinth
#

Demo shout's range isn't that great

mellow quartz
#

If you SC during charge it can bug

onyx vessel
#

Charge has to get to the target

urban portal
#

of course you would wait until it connects

honest hazel
#

Yeah your being hit still

warm plinth
#

Bug in what way?

urban portal
#

you can also charge-demo shout and SB-SC

onyx vessel
#

Just no point to shield charge in

mellow quartz
#

The whole reason nome said to open with SC is to avoid the first unmitigated melee hits.

honest hazel
#

I gusss it depends on the key level your doing on beta I've found charging in first leaves me open to unmitigated hits

urban portal
#

i agree with that

honest hazel
#

Correct alyrion that's what I was seeing as well

urban portal
#

higher damage vs higher safety

honest hazel
#

In testing anyway on beta not on live

urban portal
#

its like losing a revenge proc for more SB uptime with reprisal in SL

honest hazel
#

You could charge first sure but if your tanking higher keys it is dangerous

mellow quartz
#

I haven’t found it a big issue yet myself as I use regular charge but at some point in high keys it might be.

warm plinth
#

Could you not use both simultaneously?

#

Theoretically

honest hazel
#

You can't use SC until after you charged in so if your charging into a group of say 5 or 6 mobs you will be hit a few times before you can sb

knotty idol
#

Just pop ava and demo shout while you shield charge xeos

honest hazel
#

Now yeah demo can help but again you have to be in melee range for demo

mellow quartz
#

You wanna hit stuff with demo shout after it’s grouped.

honest hazel
#

It's really min-max what you are trying to accomplish though not saying what your saying is wrong raid

#

Just think depending on key level and the actual mobs you may want to be safer up front

onyx vessel
#

Or just run 5 prot warriors in a key

honest hazel
#

Haha

onyx vessel
honest hazel
#

That could work gigchad mode 😂💪🏼

onyx vessel
#

Probably

honest hazel
#

A lot of this discussion is so subjective as well though like if your running a mid 20 key things hurt a lot more then a 10

#

So I don't think there is a wrong answer just depends on the content your doing

onyx vessel
#

Watch them make it so you need someone in healer spec to do a key

#

Blizzard hates fun so wouldnt surprise me if they ever did that

honest hazel
#

haha hey give them some credit they are doing some good things in dragonflight finally!

#

The bloodsurge nerf wasn't one of them but our tree is still awesome

#

healers getting exposed this week

#

did 28JY, healer coulnd't heal basic slimes, and basic mechanics from last boss - blames route

sand pebble
#

Have to blame someone

#

Either the pug hunter or the tank

mellow quartz
#

Is the 40% sta and damage change on live now?

honest hazel
#

Nope dragonflight

#

And at level 70

mellow quartz
#

Then what was that other guy talking abt with ‘healers getting exposed’ if nothing changed.

honest hazel
#

I believe on live they added Deepening Bond in at 60 which increases stamina at level 60 to offset the power gained from the talents.

limpid pawn
#

i guess things were the same as before - I guess I meant "I just played with a sub-par healer"

#

him getting exposed sounds better though in my head

mellow quartz
#

Would only be ‘exposed’ if he was somehow pretending to be good but wasn’t.

#

Otherwise he would just be a bad player being bad lol

warm plinth
mellow quartz
#

Somehow doubt that. Source?

limpid pawn
#

yes was bad

honest hazel
#

Yeah the mythic+ change is definitely not in yet so might of just been a bad night for that healer 😭

Holy moly

limpid pawn
#

wait what

#

so new scaling is in?

cobalt seal
#

Yes

#

And mobs hit harder on m0

limpid pawn
#

so mobs are doing 40% more damage?

cobalt seal
#

Because they using lvl 63 scaling for some reason

#

like is a high key harder now than it was 2 days ago?

#

Yes

#

how so

warm plinth
#

See the image above

brittle fjord
#

Everything hits harder

warm plinth
limpid pawn
#

roughly how much harder is a key now?

warm plinth
#

332% is the old +21 scaling

limpid pawn
#

like a 28 now is like a ____ before?

warm plinth
#

428% is the new +21 scaling

brittle fjord
#

Bosses this week on fort are hitting harder same key lvl last week on tyran

mellow quartz
warm plinth
#

A +28 is probably like a 31.5ish

#

Maybe 32

mellow quartz
#

A 26 is a tiny bit under a 30

#

And a 20 was a 22.5

limpid pawn
#

got you

#

so basically getting IO is dead now lol

if you had io from before this week you'll feel godly

blazing condor
#

could be that you get hit in the back by mobs or similar

warm plinth
#

can you link the log

#

or DM it ot me

#

to

blazing condor
#

you have 76% blocked hits with a 93% uptime on shield block

#

so you should have more blocked hits

#

but it doesnt look that bad tbh

#

you could probably have some more casts per minute

#

also literallytrash

#

some other dudes who actually have been playing the game can probably tell you more stuff

ionic fern
#

You are definitely getting smacked in the back.

blazing condor
#

yeah you hover over melee hits

warm plinth
#

Yeah Im' looking at it and you are definitely getting smacked in the back a lot

limpid anchor
#

Bcs your cpm is low :)

warm plinth
#

Just on the first page of melees with SB filtered, you took 171 melees. You parried 25 times, you were missed 6 times, and you blocked 101 times for a total of 132 out of 171

limpid anchor
#

Ah well, low ilvl and uldaman, so not sure anymore

#

But revenge could be higher, at least if you had more rage

blazing condor
#

i feel like you do too much damage with TC but maybe thats what you do now

#

did you play with outburst? forgot

limpid anchor
#

Oi

onyx vessel
#

No indom

limpid anchor
#

Yea but that’s scuffed

onyx vessel
limpid anchor
#

But play what you like, doesn’t matter anyway

onyx vessel
#

So not keys

blazing condor
#

just make sure you dont get slapped in the back

#

and ur gucci

ionic fern
#

?

warm plinth
#

Pretty much all of the tier bonuses are really low key

urban portal
#

every tier set is underwhelming

warm plinth
#

Which is realistically how they should be for a first tier tier set which we haven't had in a very long time

#

Especially since we basically just revamped how every spec works with the new old talent trees

urban portal
#

look at arms and fury

#

they dont do anything

warm plinth
#

I'd expect the subsequent sets to be a lot more like what you're used to

blazing condor
#

at least we get several pieces with haste

#

more important than vers

#

but yea ideally it'd be haste/vers

warm plinth
#

Because the other two specs use the same set.

#

Arms is a crit/mastery spec I believe. And fury doesn't hate crit either, though they're more haste/mastery

#

@ionic fern hi ily

ionic fern
#

We like crit.

#

It's fine.

warm plinth
#

I like all the stats. I am an equal opportunity statter

might b a dumb question but if i HAD to play a dps spec while maining prot, which dps spec is looking like to have somewhat of the same stats?

lavish sleet
naive laurel
#

gotcha, tyvm

#

guild wont let me tank but i wanna tank keys so ive gotta get the fkn weaps n shit

lavish sleet
#

But honestly you if your not doing high end mythic play what you prefer between fury and arms. farming 1 extra weapon is nothing in comparision too playing a spec you dont like

visual parrot
#

Is it worth macroing IP so I just keep spamming it? Do you people have it macroed?

mortal brook
#

separate binds for spenders cuz efficient use gonna be better cuz you dont wanna find yourself starved at the wrong time

visual parrot
#

Thanks. Was also my concern. My friend just told me i should macro it.

jagged pier
#

u basically cant macro things for prot

#

expect like charge and intervene

#

and u can macro SS after IP but u still need a seperate bind for SS

#

that macro only works when u get a SS proc as u need to dumb rage

#

so u dumb it into ip then insta use SS and u dont miss the proc

elder yew
#

wait ........ what do you mean "you people"?

neon elk
warm plinth
#

It functions as an external defensive for other members of your party.

#

As an example, it's really good in Halls of Valor on Fenryr. You can use it on the Scent of Blood target and just soak all the damage so they can stand there and keep DPSing.

blazing condor
#

If anything i like using it for movement

#

If someone is ahead of me when we’re walking to the next packs

limpid anchor
#

It doesn’t give you more dmg :<

warm plinth
#

Same with fights like the fixate dude in Necrotic Wake before 3rd boss, you can intervene them and they can keep attacking

blazing condor
#

Yeah theres a few intervene SR combos you can do

#

Couldnt you intervene SR the belch from 1st boss in NW?

warm plinth
#

I would say possibly?

#

It was dodgeable so it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility

blazing condor

Im p sure thats what people would do

fuck sake it is

vagrant ingot
#

how does the latest rage generation nerf feel btw? referring to bloodsurge to 7% and war machine (possibly another that I cant seem to recall). Couldnt really find a stickied post/topic

lyric elm
#

It just feels slower

#

Doesn't matter that much because prot is high apm

vagrant ingot
#

I can live with that. as long as it does not result in losing aggro because you cannot revenge, or losing surv because you cannot IP

lyric elm
zealous willow
#

I dont know if any1 of u leveling alts and noticed , but atm scaling is fucked up a lot and dungeons at 20-60 lvl feels like m15

lyric elm
#

Yeah same for me

#

Blizzard and broken releases, name a more iconic duo

ornate thunder

Blizzard and sexual assault?

jade pulsar

We got nerfed?

mellow quartz
#

Compared to live yes, compared to everything already known on beta no.

Was just all the beta changes being rolled into live.

Gucci, thought i missed something new since the TC and revenge nerf announced last week

#

Hey I tried prot Warrior today without Banner and he feels really weird to play with the recent Rage nerfs. Does it get better with more talentpoints or probably even worse with less haste?

ionic fern
#

Diddn't feel horrible to me. 🤷

strong forum
#

rage nerfs are noticable, losing banner is noticable

#

its still a 70cpm spec on beta with normal raid ilvl

#

but its noticably slower at 70

tropic magnet
#

Gonna miss prepatch banner, been a lot of fun

strong forum
#

rage nerf is ~10% less rage in m+ and losing banner is a whopping 25%

#

but we do get alot of aoe dmg cuz of ravager sc and tr

#

so it wont be feel as bad

tropic magnet
#

Fair

silk pine
#

ok in Comparision to Shadowlands Warrior it took alot of speed, probably I just need to
get used to it.

severe hatch
#

There will definitely be an adjustment period after prepatch

#

Happy to report that I was still able to maintain banner in raid

strong forum
#

the nerf isnt as big in ST

#

youll just play instigate instead

honest hazel
#

@warm plinth I'm not sure what happened but this morning running a key did in fact have the new m+ scaling for some reason. Even though blizzard said it was a dragonflight adjustment 🤷🏽‍♂️

mellow quartz
#

Your talents etc are also a DF adjustment and you have them in prepatch 🤷‍♂️

honest hazel
#

Right but your not level 70 with 10 more talent points nor do you have access to the new progression rewards of m+

strong forum
#

u sure m+ has the scaling

#

and its not placebo from going from tyr to fort?

cobalt seal
#

Yes

strong forum

lmoa

cobalt seal

Its confirmed nome

Yeah the increase is shown when you put the key in 😂

With the new scaling numbers

Just did a 21 and it said 428% increase lol

keys hard again

Yeah honestly as a tank i felt fine but definitely a challenge for everyone else if they play sloppy lots of one shots lol

Everyone is dying during my pulls rip

I group the mobs and my whole party is running back

sick sentinel

dont need content so stressfull causes hemroid some shit

Just play lower keys?

sick sentinel
#

i did for a while, mightlay wow in df might not

minor helm
#

Fair enough

sick sentinel
#

excited to see it launch, but been playing 2 full expanaions now, im a bit burnt out

#

bfa started solid, had officer gm assist in that guild

ionic fern
#

Diddn't you quit like 5 times now?

#

🤔

sick sentinel
#

but friendships... fade....

#

i was on wow for 100% of bfa no quits

#

quit when prot warrior was dogshit in keys, quit 9.1 after couldnt get ksm without giving myself a hemmoroid

#

9.2 did ksm, quit, 9,3 ksm, quit

paper coral
#

Am I correct in assuming that the wowhead guide for 9.2.5 is tailored more for progression, hence the trinket recommendations. Would RDM be higher prio for a dinar now over OWS since it's more damage?

sick sentinel
#

unsubbed like once

ionic fern
strong forum
#

rdm is the single strongest tank trinket rn

sick sentinel
#

in 9.0?

ionic fern
#

It was just you playing suboptimally and horribly which we pointed out like 50 times but you refused to improve.

strong forum
#

i did a 14 week 1 with 190 ilvl

sick sentinel
#

well, we were also legitimatwly being ranked as c d f tier

strong forum
#

of 9.0

#

like

ionic fern
strong forum
#

and it was a group effort to deplete the key, not a "but pwar weak" thing

#

just like all of m+ is a group effort

#

not a singular classes fault

cobalt seal
#

@ionic fern why do you even try to have a logical convo with yogi

sick sentinel
#

i dunno what tank but i can tell you after playing all of them id probably be way happier on dh or dk

strong forum
#

which is fine

limpid anchor
#

Then go!

cobalt seal
#

No go

#

No

sick sentinel
#

protection warrior seems cool and useful

ionic fern
limpid anchor

But ksm was easy also as prot war in 9 and 9.1

cobalt seal

(He cant play anything properly tbf)

ocean bloom
#

if you cant play Prot War well good luck on DK or DH monkaS

grave crane

It was pretty chill in 9.1 forward

it just i dunno, you can do things as bdk vdh you simply cannot as warrior

sick sentinel
#

im not crazy about bear tank paladin is kind of cool monk sort of stunk

grave crane
#

But if your talking big pulls and shit you can 100% do the same content

solid sun
#

Warriors get shields. Try using a shield as a dh or dk

sick sentinel
#

boneshield

#

thats a shield

solid sun
#

That's not a real shield

grave crane
#

If your not enjoying warrior fine a class you are enjoying?

#

Find a class*

solid sun
#

Can't shield slam with those bones. They'd break.

ionic fern
#

Also, Yogi, you are doing 15's....if you fail at those or feel like you can't do something on class X that you can do on class Y then it's 100% not the class. Not even trying to be rude but it's a player issue not the class issue.

sick sentinel
#

then why is it called shield if it doesnt function as shield and block dmg kappa

paper coral
solid sun
#

No, it's tombstone

#

Not shield slam

paper coral
#

its boneshield slam.

plush tendon
#

wait, are you saying BDK should use slam?

sick sentinel
#

i came back to wow after quiting for 2.5 expansions

#

i just remembered having fun on warrior and put my self in a little hole all of bfa only pwar

grave crane
#

Find a class you enjoy but pwar has been good since 9.0.5 when we got reprisal and necrolord rework

sick sentinel
#

its like, why the fuck jhave i only been talking anout toons i leveled the past 2 months and not having good time with pwar

cobalt seal
#

Then dont play pwar

sick sentinel
#

i think the amount i talked about alts extremely clear how drained and burnt out i was

cobalt seal
#

Literally noone cares for what you play

grave crane
#

Yeah dude just play what you enjoy

solid sun
#

Don't let your alts be alts

#

It's DF babyyyyy

paper coral
#

for RDM, "lethal" attack means one that would kill you, or just anything?

sick sentinel
#

im not going to adress people saying i was playing shiity though

#

doesnt mean i d9nt b3lieve it, just im so far beyond if i did good or bad now

cobalt seal
#

Honestly that wasnt ever in question lol

grave crane
#

Yogi part of improving is self reflection and if your not gonna do that then you’ll never improve. Everyone plays bad when they’re learning

cobalt seal
#

Not yogi

#

You can tell yogi 100 times you doing x wrong

#

He will ignore you

sick sentinel
#

cro legit thinks i am toxic

cobalt seal
#

I dont

ionic fern
#

We've helped yogi sooooooooooooo many times.
Bullfango legit did a freaking video analysing one of his dungeon runs and pointing out ALL the mistakes.

#

And yogi goes "Nah."

minor helm
#

Bull owns

ionic fern
#

And then states "Prot warrior sucks".

#

Classic Yogi.

#

Never change.

sick sentinel
#

i didnt make alot of comments on the bullfango video

cobalt seal
#

I legit think you arent worth most of this people time

#

Thats what i think

odd tree
#

That video was pretty funny actually

solid sun
#

Lol that actually sounds terrifying.

#

I'd be so nervous if someone made a video out of analyzing my play

cobalt seal
#

Because by the looks of it people tried and tried and tried

#

To help you

#

And you said

#

Fuck you. I know better

paper coral
#

I'd love a video analyzing my play. Nothing could be worse than you guys asking me if I hit shield block by accident once.

cobalt seal
#

And ignored them

sick sentinel
#

buy 8f you noticed, i immeadiately afterwords stopped sharing logs and uplaoding youtube (private only that get r3moved for self advertising..... my chanel of 7 subs... with private links.............................)

cobalt seal
#

That doesnt solve the issue lol

#

You still ignore what other people tell you

sick sentinel
#

i didnt really say so but i watched th3 bull video like 5 times and then i gave u0

jagged pier
#

u then procecced to make claims like u werent wasting rage and still dying and @ionic fern found some logs thats showed other wise if i remeber correctly

#

like we are here to help if u come and ask for help which u did many times

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

and then refuse to listen

#

and keep doing the same stuff

#

i dont know what you want from us

#

🤷

sick sentinel
#

i remembsr one of the times i quit, was i hadnt uploaded a log, yet someone was still able to go online and find a log of me and then break it down all the bad things i did

i fpund it creepy that somekne can just pull shit up

ionic fern

😂

sick sentinel

and so i stoppdd for a while

i dont like that at all

jagged pier

I think i spent more time in SL helping u by looking at logs and videos giving u advice than everyone else combined and u just ignored it all,

ionic fern

Don't play then.
