Same
Crash in 3 2 1
cries
aaaaand back to the gy, lol
instance not found
everyone else crashed on zep?
yep, everyone on my realm
its not even coming a new zepp atm
money well spent 😄
I didnt even have a queue on draenor eu at 23.45
Maybe thats the issue, they removed ques cuz people cried about them and now servers cant handle it. Looks like another launch well made
make sure to click the npc
weird question homies. is there a list of all movement-related abilities for Prot Warriors? I wanna go fast like sanic and I don't mind sacrificing other shit for it
he gives you an 60 min buff
without it? you wont see the npc timer
and maybe wont phase for the zeppelin
so make sure to talk to dude
Boat is here on alliance side
horde is coming 45 sec on dreanor eu
lol portal would of been better jeez
it is essentially a portal with extra steps
sadge
2nd time going now, wish me luck
anyone know why twitch always is unstable for me? It just started like a week or two ago
nothing on my end changed
ublock origin?
bro it'd frozen again
slowly moving
Is it better to level as prot or arms?
HELLO?
BLIZZARD???
it fucking kicked me off the zeppelin and dropped me in the middle of the ocean
did it not install the game
is that what's happening here
ngl that's funny shit. But that sucks
Kill em all

Grind to 70 while everone strugle to get there xd
finally dc
gotta do the doubleagent method
😂
how long til people give up, should just take another hour nap
Just go to bed and play in morning , ezpz
Did they realy add portal?
yea
Y'all gotta realize this is part of the experience. This is what's supposed to happen
Where will you end up once you're on the boat? Nobody knows
Yea thats the part of experience i realy wont miss
i have no dropped packages and everything looks good in obs but in stream manager it says unstable and cant figure out why 😒
I dont even have ublock, just adblocker
i'm killing dragons but now world server is down.
are all regions down? or just eu?
I'm sure literally everyone is having trouble
It's how just about every wow expansion launch goes
nevermind me, im a stupid idiot
why do you say that
I had the beta client selected and not retail
OOF
thanks bro ❤️
i like how the progress bar for loading screen is loading less with each attempt lmao
it's cause i'm stealing your progress bar progress
I get no launch because I'm in a school building with class in 15 mins
this is justice for all the people who still have to be at work
#JusticeForGhash
its 00.47 here. I dont feel justice for people working middle of the night 😦
thinking of just taking my ambien and crash and go up like 7 am or smt and start fresh and have entire day
but it just feels so meh, been so hyped for this 😦
You were hyped for the wrong thing
If you're playing at launch launch, you're not supposed to be playing the game
You're there for how fucked up the game is
truuu
If you want the proper feelsgood launch experience, you always wait a day or two
Fair enough. Im just gonna go to bed, its late as is and trying to push hours now will just waste better hours tomorrow for no reason.
Question regarding execute rotation.
With the tier set, will we continue to revenge to keep up %damage and IP gain during execute for: both situations, either, or neither?
- Jugg
- Punish
Haven't been able to find much info about that.
Execute has been nerfed a lot from SL so it's very unlikely that you should let your tier set drop for it
Punish is better in pretty much all situations right now
got in on the last attempt ofc
execute rotation is SS > tc > revenge for tierset buff > execute
loading screen simulator 
its borderline not worth to press execute
if you want to forgo EVERYTHING and prio execute over revenge and ignore pain its like a 0.5% dps gain
but youll be extremely rage starved
and jugg is a dead talent even with going full ham on execute
Brutal world crash...
why does the maximum parsing build switch to fueled by violence? How does that help your dps lol?
Prob never have to press ip
youre not gonna have enough rage for overcapping your tier set uptime
you always have to press IP
not on st where execute is even an option
aoe you dont cast it period, st not enough rage
i got DC'd and have a world server is down feelsbad
sry that was prob me i just got home
why would you not cast ip on aoe? A lot of times you can't even revenge fast enough to dump all rage
oh no im talking about execute not ip
oh wait yeah we're on different converstation threads lol my b
im saying in st, realistically if you want to play safe and have full uptime on both block and ip, youre gonna have a hard time keeping up your tier set bonus, let alone execute
I’m in guys
Which server are you on
Looking for some clarification regarding spell block.
My understanding is It only works on direct dmg, will not work against magic dots and magic aoe? Is this correct
Tichondrius but there’s fa… no npcs. Soz for faulty info no gameplay available yet
Spell reflect can reflect a spell, sometimes nullifies it and sometimes deflects it which reduces the damage taken, it's a spell by spell basis and sense did a spreadsheet, check the pins
Anyone else having issues with Thunder Claps cooldown not showing correctly?
are you using an addon for your action bars?
Just base elvui
Might try turning it off just to make sure it's a game bug vs just an issue with elvui
I am using ElvUI and no issue
i was referring to the talent spell block
did you update today Zich?
Spell block works on any magic afaik.
Yes. Updated ElvUI yesterday
Yea its elvui, damn. When i pop avatar instead of showing a lower cooldown it shows 8 seconds.
oh gladi didnt update ElvUI today then Avatar is fine for me atm
when vigor stops recharging you know dc is inc lol
Thanks yea that works, i really liked the numbers though. Sad
speaking of elvui, any idea why I cant get tukui client to find my elvui installation?
WOW
We take these wins boys
thats huge
cant play the game so just checking wowhead lol
Holy shit that execute buff
Will finally feel viable again^^
30 lol wow
hope execute is worth again now. such a fun button
gota be honest wish execute gave us the tier buff 😛
that would be chef's kiss
It probably should honestly
But now I gotta decide if I wanna have more shield block uptime or go with them PHAT executes
@strong forum 30% execute buff enough to make it worth pressing maybe?
it's still trash compared to before but
wait what? Really?
It gets a 30% buff and its STILL trash? wtf?
how much did it get nerfed 😮
Banner+pre nerf execute was a hitter
16k after buff 😱
ya that ofc helps
It sounds like the buff is after the weekly restarts, at least, so there's that
wait they took the rage refund?
damn i was so stuck on how much they kicked the damage i never noticed
im bein' gaslit by blizz
we dont take instigate anymore?
still need mathing out
we only take instigate in ST
unless they buffed rage gen on blood surge on me since i wasn't looking
Shield charge is so fun
also still doesnt help anti synergy with tier, unfortunately.
nope but they did buff how cute you are somehow 
Is the execute buff in yet?
☺️
And from what I saw, not yet
Will be in with weekly restarts
Haven't really logged in yet, #workmode.
I what are people lvling as? I like running around shieldslamming shit but I want to go faaaast bzzzzzrt.
You can kill one or two mobs at a time or you can kill 20 mobs at a time
Seems an easy choice to me
Prot rly recks atm anyway in lvling if ur 270+ ilvl, go prot imo
If you hit one of the wandering rare mobs you'll be glad you went Prot. I soloed the first one I saw, and there's no way I could've as Arms or Fury.
nice
someone knows how long it takes?
took me 6hrs
I just hit the Kalcgos stuff.
i mean the maintenance
For 60-70?
maintenance is 1hr
60-70 + full campaign
Get all your runes?
did you skip sidequests?
I'm sure he did.
Did we previously know about the execute buff coming at reset?
i'm 68
Nice hope they are trying to make that build viable
Worth to put execute on our actionbars now?
what?
It should already be there.
i mean we always have execute on our bars
did you hit 70 before you finished the campaign or after?
Any of those "new" stuff affecting us? Mostly those things that modify our armor
The bug fixes should be a buff to our armour as we were not getting the full amount before
Still no fix to Brutal Vitality though? big sad
And guess the armor value one is simply a tooltip and doesnt change anything, right?
Brutal bit is bugged?
It stops once you cap IP and doesn't start again until a new IP
1 quest before
So, how fast was world first 70
2ish hours?
Well, the icy-veins article said Gingi did it in an hour and a half, but he was not the first 70
What ? Another "clever use of game mechanics" ?
I mean that's how every world first max level happens. They generally have quests that were already pre-completed, group strats, etc
What was his strat?
Farmed elites in the maw
rofl
Each mob gave 4k XP
Yeah, he was 63 within 15minutes
You really have to want to be world first to go and subject yourself to the Maw again
that's insane
Then it got nerfed to 400xp per mob
Do i need to learn df mining somewhere or is regular one enough to at least pick nodes untill i get yo trainer ?
There are trainers in the first camp
Or just valdrakken main city has them obv yoo
How does the new main city rank on a scale of Oribos to Boralus?
Och nice , realy wish i could play for more than 7 mins before shutdown xd
It has an non engi AH apparently.
:pog:
Idk I've only spent like 4minutes in there
But dragonriding obv makes it infinitely better
Cuz you can get everywhere instantly
Yeah I'm looking forward to that
Hopefully by the time I get home, the servers will be relatively stable and I can just pound through
What’s the deal with archaeology?
Not yet, I guess would be the "deal"
Everything is perfect on NA now. The only problem the last couple hours had been the lag specifically on looting, but that was fixed too.
Couple friends on NA just said they started experiencing lag again like 20ish mins ago
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, cause this seems like archaeology would be huge this expansion like it was in cata
I had moderate to severe lagging for the first six hours. Then it was exlusively looting and turning in quests for two hours. Now it's nothing.
I had 17 disconnects in my first four hours.
so what you're saying is I just get to 70 then laugh at everyone and how long it took them even though it's because of server issues?
My NA experience is identical
Next expansion whatever toon I'm leveling with to start I"m sending to the deadest of realms.
Yes.
Ironically the time when I was least laggy was when I was dragonriding
The full RP realms are surprisingly chill, people are more casual there
I don't really care about chill, I care about being able to connect and stay connected.
I stay chill whether it's Illidan or Winterhoof
So has anyone made a macro yet that incorporates Shield Charge, Charge and Intervene that works?
It's chill in the way that not a lot of people are logged in at the same time.
Because I had no problems
Yo we got buffed?
Can you be more specific?
How do you want them incorporated
Like my old Warbringer macro had Charge/Intervene mixed in together.
Something like...
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,harm]Shield Charge;[@mouseover,help,nodead]Intervene;Charge
That would work nicely.
Giving it a whirl now.
Hey @warm plinth so the only thing I'm running into is that hitting the shift-mod and then the trigger for Charge is resulting in switching the tooltip icon back to Charge.
Clicking on it in button bar works but hitting the #1 key on my Naga does not. Weird.
You're holding shift while pressing it, correct?
Yup - I changed the mod to alt and it's working better now. Weird.
It's possible you have something already bound to shift-whateveryourchargebuttonis
@ionic fern hi ily
This
Good morning. 
Did you get a chance to play in the new expansion yet?
Nope. I had to go to work when it was starting, but at least I will be past most of the lag hopefully when I get home
Any tips from those that have done it? I’m just following main campaign yeah?
That's what you'll do yes
There’s a lot of fun distractions and no real rush since m+ and raids aren’t even open
It's chill on EU right now..tho it's only 10 AM. 😄
Jeah. Planning to just level multiple characters and nothing else.
Both, the Icy Veins and WoWHead Protection warrior guides have been updated for Dragonflight!
https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/protection-warrior-pve-tank-guide
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/overview-pve-tank
Are the glyphs worth getting asap? Or no need
I won’t lie I went around and got them and having 6 vigor is literally gamechanging
I love it and think it’s worth it. You’ll need them eventually anyway
Leveling is much more fun when you can flex dragon riding as much as possible
Getting across an entire zone in 30 seconds was possibly my favorite part of the entire main quest line
Are the changes to Enduring Alacrity and Focused Vigor buffs or nerfs?
Hey, fury main here. I never tanked before, and I wanted to try being an off-tank for my guild. I heard proc warriors are really good rn but idk if they’re new player friendly. Would leveling a guardian Druid be easier for me to learn tanking, or is proc warrior easy enough to learn?
Unfortunately Prot is now also fairly easy. 😦 So you will be just fine as Prot Warrior.
how high is our skill ceiling in relation to skill floor now
aka is there much wiggle room for skill
all depends on how good you are in tracking cd's and looking at buttons if you need to trigger antoher one of those fat shieldblocks :p ( guilty as charged for not noticing it ran out sometimes)
Unfortunately? Sounds like good news to me :))
Okay That’s fair
Less than before imo.
surely on higher keys you wont be able to play cluelessly right? 
yeah i feel like theyve raised the skill floor a lot
made us easier
which makes it so that its harder to tell a good pwarr from a bad one
cus its easy to play well regardless
that'd be lowering the floor, wouldnt it? splitting hairs as i think everyone knows what you mean xD
Ditto
if the skill floor is higher that means that the "entry level" skill required to have a high outcome is lower
if you have an axis of skill> and results^
hm. i... dont know about that. a skill floor is the entry point to play effectively, i show i've always heard it. So a lower skill floor means it is easy to pick it up and seem competent. A higher one would be more difficult.
Wait hold up, let’s forget about proc warriors for a second. “Raising the skill floor” sounds like “raising the bar”, like saying that expectations are higher right?
Okay. Back to point. Prof warrior is easier, for better or worse.
yes
It's a step in the right direction yes.
Now we just have to hope they make our tier set work with Execute.
When execute hits on par with MS why use it 🤡
FORGOT this is prot.
Need more buffs I guess idk
Don’t wanna be doomin, but seems like excessive kinda?
Now let’s wait for the following-up nerf
Seems excessive?
Sir it still hits far less than what it did in SL, and prior to this buff execute is hardly worth to press
Just to put it into perspective, at level 60 in SL execute with 300ilvl + buffs hit as hard as it did on beta with 400 ilvl
I mean everyone has its own strengths and weaknesses and it’s ok
Hello, any idea for bis professions
Whatever one doesn't make you vomit
How do they nerf execute 3x then buff it on the way out lmfao
Do you think they noticed we stopped pressing it in the pre patch?
Now if only they could buff the area 52 server connection fidelity
@strong forum any thoughts about your lvl 70 builds in the pins vs the guide ones for Mythic+?
mainly wondering if Enduring Alacrity is really needed and the potential downsides of not running Impenetrable wall
it just a fluke or does spell reflect no work againt the evoker class at all
in terms of reflection and damage reduction
thanks @ionic fern, then why is it recommended for M+ on the guides?
🤷 I'm rocking with warmode off.
Which guides?
turned it on for a bit fought an evokle im 294 with a rdm and he was eating me
PRetty sure i'm not picking it on the IV one.
the one on Wowhead right now:
dueld him twice ina two on 1 got him the frist time then he just kicked my butt the second round with cd i deff poped spell reflect a few times and got slowed by spells he used right after using it
putting in a ticket his blast did way to much damage with cds poped somthing off
57k with spell reflect up from fire breath
It's not a bad point per-se, but Impenetrable Outweights it imo.
^^ty didnt see that one
If you want a proper answer you probably need to ask the guide writer.
yep, I got the same feeling, but was wondering if I was missing something
yo guys its been a second since i last tanked did shield slam increased shield block duration?
With the HR talent
yes, with a talent
the wowhead build has that talent?
cuz for the life of me i cant find it
No
It's a node on the PRot tree.
Into the Fray / Heavy Repercussions
Left side of the tree.
i see
You won't need it for the content you are doing for the first few weeks.
Bad habits etc
true
ITF is also more damage than HR.
Once M+ releases and you are doing keys which warrant it, then you'd go for it.
is there any professions that benefit prot warrior more than others or is it whatever we chose
why is beta client getting more updates? :S
or just smt i missed?
humf, game dead or what? Not queue yesterday or now :S
Yes, 100% dead. Don't play . Log out so i don't lag as much.
You still lag? That disappeared around 5-6 am for me
ohh, i finished that area.
Welp, i just logged on this morning.
yeh, it was pretty laggy yd, especially trying to loot stuff, omg xD
someone has the new spreadsheet for blockable and reflectable spells pls ?
Pins.
ty
i myself would never pick it
other options just offer so much more damage
the only situation to pick it would be if you absolutely struggle to survive and have BSV already picked
makes sense, yep
@strong forum is there any info i can find on professions for prot that benefit more than others or is completely personal choice
no clue
ok sounds good
Can spot the people who have been playing classic
"what ts should I take" .... alchemy for double flask and engineering
But those are really just qol stuff
What was that tracker for buffing SS or TC?
I have it on my laptop but I need to get it on my PC
Oh, nevermind I found it
Seeing red?
Iirc they've fixed the bug that made tracking the stacks super important
I wouldn't know though since my PC is in pieces at the moment
About to visit it with Mr Dremel
Oh so the WA doesn't actually work anymore?
I killed a lvl 72 rare elite after 10 mins… no loot
Anyone been having some trouble with the last boss of nokhud offensive? His one-two in last phase is hitting me for a sweet sweet 600k after mitigations when he gets to about 5% on normal.
Happened to me last night, too. But for me it was a one shot.
He and I died at the same time.
Don’t recall that happening to me on beta so I must not be doing something right…
why dont they have this ?
LoL was it an animal?
I assume he prefers Enduring Alacrity since Wall loses some value if you don't use it on CD pretty much.
as I mentioned earlier wowhead guides are kinda for everyone so you would assume a lot of people reading and using them are not going to hit SW enough
i believe they fixed TC consuming on 7 to no benefit, but its still worth tracking
Not it was a humanoid a najardin lava Viking looking dude
no maintenance?
What’s wrong with enduring alacrity?
nothing
you have a finite number of points though
so its all abt what are you giving up for it
First lesson in opportunity cost
if intimidating shout isnt needed, would you lot pick barbaric training or something else?
m+ setting ofc
no talents are looked upon in a vacuum
no, to much rage cost
can see some builds in the pins
int shoud isnt needed, barb training is too heavy a burden on the rage gen post-bloodsurge nerfs
int shout is a really nice stop though
Many many times has int shout saved a pull when pugging
First instance that came to mind is Necrotic wake, stopping gorespatters
There are optimized talents and then there are "oh I'm carrying flippermonkies again" talents
Flippermonkey here
I’m sure it’s commonly stated but to state it again, the majority of people will want to use a general purpose build that covers defense, utility, and damage
I know, that's why you're always getting carried by 4 other tanks
And then theirs guys who rocked seismic all shadowlands because it was biggest damage

Oh shit @strong forum I just noticed the MO cast pin sicc!
someone send help
i cannot stop trying to charge while mounted on my dragonriding mount.
i have charge on 2, same button as go up
send help
that keeps throwing me off too lol especially since i have that action bar hidden
Just bind charge ibstead of "go up" as that is double jump on mount , no need for bind
does that work while you're already mid-air too? guess i never tried
Yes
i don't think im allowed to, since i already tried to swap the forward dash and go up and it told me to fuck off
lmao i feel your pain my friend i do the same
Sounds like there is a bug
I had same issue, i just moved go up to 3 and put charge macro on the dragon riding bar as 2 so i can charge from mounted
Just have to cast a ability before you charge to kick you off the mount, and of course have auto dismount in combat clicked on
well dismount in flight when in combat basically
Recommendations for a Prot Warrior streamer?
@hollow token tattman and nextback were top m+ in s4 prot warr
Nomeratur,
Still waiting for that image to become a skyhold emoji @ionic fern
:Nomgusted:
:codex: alternatively
Thanks all. I figured several were in the discord…
There's a fistful of them, aye.
LOL this is the perfect emoji to put next to the check pins one
Serious question @ionic fern , what caused our weights to shift more towards Vers, or are the guide weights just "general purpose" and not "sweaty parse monkey"?
This is the priority in the WoWhead pinned guide
Strength
Haste
Versatility
Crit
Mastery
vers or crit after haste is kinda 🤷♂️
it's not like omg you have your 2nd secondary stat as vers intead of crit, you are doing it all wrong
crit will lean more dps, vers will lean more survival... but it's more of a guideline anyhow
would probably go with vers myself over crit but I wouldn't really care much and only a question in the off chance you have 2 equal ilvl pieces both with haste and then vers or crit as the other secondary
just take whatever gear you have that sims highest unless you have a reason for doing something else
I mean, yeah we know that, but if joe blow rolls on, sees Vers higher on prio - thye're gonna start targeting haste/vers gear.
If the actual prio is different, I fail to see the reason why it wouldn't be reflected on our pinned resources.
In fact, it's pretty different than what we're actually using.
Wowhead
STR >> Haste > Vers > Crit = Mast
Reality
STR >> Haste > Crit = Vers > Mast
Most people miss the fact that strength being first means ilvl beats everything
Hardly the point.
I mean the point is largely that there isn't a massive gap between stats
It isn't. The point is we have spec guides on high-traffic sites as a glut of FOTM are about to roll in and it's more or less wrong.
....if you think what stats they're pursuing is going to be the make or break
Gameplay>>>>>>stats
Dude, why are you trying to jump in front of obvious misinformation on our spec
Just being contentious for its own sake.
For people who have gameplay and want to minmax further
I-... I know, it's a rhetorical question.
But it's not completely wrong is it
And then they minmax wrong 😂
Is it truly minmaxing if you’re just going off stats
I mean you're not wrong, because the real minmaxers
So few players sim, and most that sim sim wrong because they're just using raidbot defaults for every fight and situation.
Will just sim
But sorry realized that your referencing lllarrdold guide so yeah
You're correct
This doesn’t discredit sims
It doesn't, nobody is contesting simming.
But even the people that sim are probably not simming correctly.
I just sim the proper way and @ late or nomeratur
I mean you can’t argue about minmaxing stats and just say well people sim wrong
That’s just moving the goalposts
anyone know if quality matters in xp gain from lvling professions?
It doesn't. The entire point of bringing up in the first place was that the labeling was wrong unless for some reason Llarrold is putting it there for the absolute lowest common denominator for some reason.
you answering me i guess?
No.
ah ok 😄
👍
Ok just saw the minmaxing statement as for llarold no clue
does anyone know how the profession xp work? 🤔
Dude mains a monk...
All I know is it supposedly caps at 700k total
Oh, uh... pretty sure you just keep crafting, mate.
First time craft get xp
can i get the cap from just 1 profession?
U can hop if u want. U will lose ur skill ups and recipes but not knowledge spent
Wait I'm confused, why don't we get someone who actually mains to wrangle our pinned WoWhead guide, or is this beggars and choosers?
i found spreadsheet from naowh
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bth13pxoGyI8Vckxd_uJG-WwtO11gexTgXnVFj5mtxM/htmlview?usp=sharing#
but he says you need 2 professions for it
Wowhead can't afford mwahi or nom
I must be naïve, I seriously thought they were just voluntary.
I wasn't aware class guides were as well. I know their articles and update posts are paid writers.
Zam makes bank bro
Didn't know they freelance out for high profile class guides.
Or fanbyte or whatever they're calling themselves this week
It's a PoV of the guidewriter.
The 2 stats are so close together that it's up to the writer to pick one.
Vers is the more "defensive" choice due to mitigating all types of damage while also providing SOME damage itself.
Crit is the more "offensive" choice while also providing RNG defensive value.
Neither of them are a bad stat and both work as a solid second stat next to haste.
🤷
Yes, guides are paid.
Be cheaper, Mwahi, we need people that know math at the helm, god dammit.
I had no earthly idea until today.
It's not just math though, you don't always have 1 correct answer.
@patent osprey
i think he's playing prot this tier
also, did they just sneak that execute buff in, or was that on the list last week?
Tbh llaroldddd does a good job for people who don't come to this discord, it's more than enough to be a functional prot warrior and his suggestion leans towards the folks who pick up a shield and just need to know what end to have up
indeed, if you have to go to a guide to get told what to play exactly and don't test yourself or seek out any other resources then wowhead and IV are more than fine for your usecase
they cannot cover any and all situations and fringe cases
This is correct, because like if you're a nub who can't manage sb uptime mastery's value skyrockets
Defensively
Mastery build where we talent out of sb
imagine SB being a talent though
Isn't the block chance contribution from mastery pretty low
I feel like it's even worse if you're not keeping sb up
Sadly they're wise to our shenanigans and the 2 roll system stops this
😔
And Dr
Although at one point in beta we were almost brm level of not pressing button because of the free IP
can't remember what it is now, but i remember back in legion when we had a few 100% mastery meme builds
back when crit block was an 88% block
Legion ahh glory days
was stupid, you could easily wipe your raid on Argus if you didnt turn around because you'd just never die to his slash
99.9999% mitigation
was fun AF though to mess around with those builds
Yes I remember those blocks
i do think end of Legion was way more 'fun' than BFA even though we were arguably 'better' in BFA
Soloing Aggramar's combo because you could use NF to assure a critical block on the 2nd round and use leap/charge to stop the knockback
yea
we used to play a game to see who could mitigate the highest raw damage number on that fight, couldnt use SW because it would reduce the number
i still think Cosmo held that record
had like a 130M block or something stupid
Prot was horribly painful in 8.0 , the good didn't start till 8.1
i referring exclusively to when Prot went meta
we were good, very good, but it wasnt as much fun as legion to me
Iirc there was a 221m raw hit can't remember who posted it
yea maybe it was something like that, it was stupid lol, had to stack HP to make it work
Sunder sunder sunder sunder cats!
that DBZ video is still awesome
My best parse on hc argus, I remember hitting the last phase being almost dead last and by the time he died I was 8% ahead of the next person
Just had to never get the bomb
And ignore spheres
How'd everyone's launch go?
Good I grinded for 6 hours and got 61
I'll let you know when I've fixed this
We’re very angry people around here
900$ in parts, motherboard is too chonky to fit my radiator in the case, so I literally cut a hole in it
Fanless heat sink?
New build, the heat spreader above the CPU is a fat fuck so I can't get the fans
To fit
My buddy has been running the same one I grabbed for quit a while through multiple builds so not worried
Wouldnt have happened it you played on a laptop like me
Tru
Gear
Compact and clean is what I hope the ladies say about me but not my computer
Crafted gear is over priced and doesn't take much to make your own 366 is the highest I've been able to make so far
Sat at 358 overall ilvl, couldn't easily push passed that but still some improvements to make
The new crafting is fairly simple honestly
At least at this stage im sure you'll get it fine
Better than my mythic raid gear
@terse hollow can you send me what your gear looks like right now if you don"t mind 😄
Sure 1 sec
I cant find a single way to share my character while im not at my pc
I have mining/herbalism I'll have to forget that I guess
Like I've got my character up but its entirely out of date :/
Still shows me at level 60
What’s the ilvl of the lowest quality crafted gear?
310 i think was the lowest I made
So that’s not much better than leveling gear?
Exactly
I actually made a profit
I only have 120k
Well lucky for you, like i, said i made money with blacksmithing not lost anything
alright 😄
anything you wanna see up close?
Damn, gotta get on tonight and cash in
even like armour pieces were going 5-10k
this can actually proc a bit higher than this, had someone offering like 50 for this but i wanted to use it
thats all i got for now
343 helm just went
cost maybe 700 to make but its just a couple mining nodes
Nice, went double gather at first, probably keep the ore and go engi/bs and just start flipping stuff
I'm planning oj doing my dracthyr for gatherer. the extra perception shsould be nice
Does it make me a bad person if i jump in and out of uldum tryna get the dwarf trinket? 😂
is there going to be a weekly reset for m0 tomorrow?
I thought we didn't get m0 until the week after
i have no idea tbh, some1 in my guild just mentioned that he wants to do m0 before reset tomorrow which made little sense to me
Somethin about they want us to slow down and enjoy and it giving everyone a fair shot
I'm certain we won't have mythic tomorrow
that would be quite nice
Already open for the US
Standard blizzard really

Suggest somethin that actually makes sense then do the opposite 😂
The idea was that they didn't want people getting sweaty last night after launch. Racing to get to 70 before reset today/tom
There is a weekly reset tomorrow (assuming EU; NA already had theirs) and M0 will open with that reset. M+/raid release at the same time on the 13th of December.
thanks !
is M0 open now?
For the burgie boys
burgie boys?
NA
so for us its available tomorrow?
Yea early in morning, unles maintenance
If by us you mean EU no yours comes with ur reset
and then M+ opens next week?
Nope M+ opens week 3
M+ opens with raid
Right week 3 in 14 days
So we'll do m0 and crafting to gear meanwhile?
and WQs I imagine

No need to go ham, then. M0 aren't difficult
Gives sufficient ilvl
382 for the rare WQs
🤔
7% haste in dungeons is fun.......
Im going to log in for the first time since release .. and im seriously in doubt .. go for DH or warrior.. or just go with priest or some other healer ? 🫣
:hmmNod:
anyone can TLDR how profession specializations work?
can i only pick 1? can i eventually unlock all of them?
Can eventually unlock all of them
Can someone explain taunt to me? I was under impression from vanilla days taunt just temporarily puts you at top of threat table but you gotta build threat on top of it.. so no point taunting if you're already at the top of the threat table. Is that wrong?
that's mostly right
i believe you also generate threat faster during the 6s
not so sure about the "threat table" part
this is wrong still
taunt used to give you the top value on the threat table
that means you needed to generate 10% of that guy's threat in the taunt time
which was the other part you mentioned (temporary aggro)
Yes, you generate more threat during the 3 seconds following Taunt. But it no longer puts you at the top of the threat table. It just guarantees you will have threat for those 3 seconds and gives you increased generation during that time.
Ahh so there's increased generation.. how significant is that increased threat?
A LOT
Because threat is calculated and stored in a table per npc
I don't remember. It's significant to the point where it's very unlikely you'll lose threat again after the 3 seconds as long as you aren't just standing there looking dumb.
500% iirc
i get that, just wasnt sure if it put you at the top
The reason I'm asking is I normally saved taunt to react if I lost threat on something (stubborn ranged, etc) but it seems like its better to just blow taunt on pull even with big packs on M+?
It's not like old-school eq taunt
Keep on CD, you mean save it? Or just use it on pull?
Where it put you on the top+1
Got it.. okay will try that out
huge threat
I mean we shouldn't have to press taunt atall
Yeah I do that as well
strays exists outside a vacuum
But I usually wait until I see I'm getting close to losing it on strays, then I'll taunt + heroic throw
s2 i tanked next to this shitty pally a couple times who barely pressed buttons. soon as taunt would end i'd rip threat
Seems like its better to just do that proactively tho
Yeah but for stuff outside melee
had to explain to him that he actually needs to generate threat during that taunt window or i just take agroe back
dps are greedy and people are troll
Also.. is TC more damage then Revenge? Like assuming too much rage should I be spending globals on TC or Revenge?
it is mob count dependant
Wait we wanna play with ITF and not HR in M+?
When does TC become better? >5?
something like:
5 or less:
SS > UF TC > revenge > TC
more than 5: with high rage
UF TC > revenge > TC > SS
@strong forum pls confirm
or i've seen tanks in m+ use it to pull a mob that they never actually got hit with an attack, so they immediately snap to one of the dps once they start aoe'ing
UF TC?
Yeah I've definitely been prioritizing TC during Avatar over Revenge.. mainly curious outside of Avatar windows
when you have unstoppable force and are in avatar: that thunderclap @ocean finch
Lot of times I have too much rage so been prioritizing revenge (even without procs) over TC if rend is up, just wanted to make sure
Pmuch
you guy enjoyed leveling up and playing warrior at 70
i did almost 1 level on it so far, probably get there by end of week at best
do we play Vigor or The Wall? 🤔
if you're close to capping rage burn it with IP
Wowhead saying Vigor, and
saying The Wall 🤔
off the gcd, helps fuel the rage loop
Wouldn't you still press thunder clap on CD though? It's not a press tc instead of revenge scenario typically since tc has a cooldown and revenge doesn't. Plus TC generates rage and there's not really any such thing as too much rage since we have an off gcd spender
if you can revenge and are outside of UF avatar you should revenge
Yeah thats why I was wondering what the damage priority was.. because if I have the rage and Revenge does more damage I'm not pressing TC on CD
more TC = more avatar though
Anger Management
mhm
more rage = more avatar
u have to spend it too
you have IP which has 0 CD
and ip does no damage
Both wowhead and icyveins put tc higher in the priority than revenge so it's interesting to see the opposite stated here
I thought no point pressing IP if its up already and you're building it with damage?
still more IP = more avatar = harder hitting TC
because it's easier as a noob to not have to decide
IP is only for not capping rage
you can still press it for CDR with AM
so you avoid overcap
You're getting rage from tc. It's not just damage. More rage is more of a feedback loop because you get avatar back faster which equates to more damage.
Pls do not be mad at IP for not doing damage me a lowly arms would love to have it
Yep understand.. I'm asking purely from feeling global capped and wondering what button priority should be assuming tons of rage for max damage
Its worth clarifying that "with high rage" rider is there
That was not there originally
you need to use the cranium to decide the button to press
Yeah thats why I'm here asking haha
And at high rage why wouldn't I just press IP and tc
ip does no dam
that is cringe
sometimes i have to prio SS in 6+ mobs because i ip spammed all my rage away
Assuming not rage starved, no avatar, 5+... do I prioritize globals into revenge or am I still using TC on CD
that is BAD
Tc does and I can press IP at the same time to get cdr. It's not like you aren't pressing revenge the next global anywah
Anyway *
I think were over thinking the impact of specific globals in corner cases here
The thing is it wasn't and isn't being stated as a corner case
It's being stated as general gameplay
The general game play is build rage ans then spend it without capping
Do we need to finish the campaign? I just hit lvl 70 and have 3/4 chapters left...
Just do the main quests
I don't know if you need to finish it now but I can virtually guarantee you will need it completed at some point.
depends on rend timers
and your outburst
you will want to spend tc on outburst or tc for rend application
but unless youre getting lucky BnT ticks youll need to SS eventually
Is it even worth tracking rend as prot?
Aren’t you pressing tc often enough it doesn’t matter
i miss IP as well @minor helm , going to be weird raiding without it
Ok true I guess
Which rep should we go for warrior tanks?
Does not matter
thanks
Pretty sure this is very wrong.
How would you get back threat after dying in raid for example? It 100% puts you top of threat table.
And spam taunting? It will make bosses taunt immune. Not a great strategy.
wtf, world server still down? epic blizz epic...
Taunting..
-It forces the mob to attack the player who taunted it, for 3 seconds.
-It grants the player who taunted it an amount of threat equal to that of the player who had aggro on the mob at the time of the taunt.
-It increases the threat generation of the taunting player for the same 3-second duration.
Works like I thought and said. Epic memory 😄
not exactly, it doesn't put you at the top of the table, it sets your threat to value of whoever was tanking (if it was higher), but there might be other players who have more threat (ie. a mage) and not have agro
with the increased threat, if you do basically ANYTHING, you should really build a solid lead. but you can't always just fire off a taunt and go back to a prio target or whatever
What? The wording is that its equal to whoever has aggro, and whoever has aggro is the highest off the threat table?
So it puts you at the top?
Or well, identical but still for every intents and purposes, at top.
no, a mage can have 125% threat of the current tank, if you taunt you won't have the mage's threat and won't be at the 'top' (mage can be any dps)
the mob will still wail on you for several reasons, but not because you're at the top
sabellian or wrathion?
Cosmetic differences. But you can only be friend with sabellian but Best friend with wrathion
Eventually you'll get both
Interesting. I knew there was a range for actually pulling threat. Still, this is not a real world scenario that will ever happen.
Maybe the first 2-3 seconds off a pull? But even that is stretching it
People are saying in lookingforgroup that you need to disable your authenticator and the lag will stop?
Any truth to this? Why would that affect lag?
iirc it's 110% to pull threat as melee and 130% as ranged?
Is there an aura that checks if you are not in protection stance specifically when you have something aggrod on you? I know something like this exists: https://wago.io/Ez9yJIcAV but I am looking for something that won't annoy me when stance dancing properly
is it not working?
can't see anything in my details
oh nvm
its just so low
150k whole dungeon
may i ask how long it took you 60 to 70?
ohh, thats pretty nice to hear 😄
so that 30% execute buff is pretty substantial. I doubt it changes our talent picks, but would that make Execute worth using now?
Hard to tell without sims but I still doubt it's worth prioritizing over keeping tier set bonus up
Nice for SD procs and set us up a little better for future patches
I'd taken it off my bars but I guess I need a spot for it now
Is there a reason my camera keeps sticking in weird directions?
I'll come off my mount and turn to move and it'll be in front of me instead of behind.
Dtagonriding
Dragon deez
How's war feeling since release with increased level?
Haven't been able to play yey
Yet*
hard for me to get into the game right now, probably takea few days before i come around to it
Yeah dragonriding has been an endless source of control problems
it feels pretty similar. You just have all the abilites at once now. And haste is really low as a fresh 70
Brick
20%, sup?
with ITF?
i'm at 69 and 10.5% haste... feels so bad
we do more damage than I expected, though
what happened to shieldcharge GCD?
Did you find it? haha
whats up with recrafting? the bar moves, but nothing happens, no regents get used
Wow just wow... could my isp have worse maintaince timing than this???? Until 6 am, dafuq...
How much traffic does wow run per hour? Can i just hotspot my phone? Only get 15gb per month
not having unlimited data in 2022. susge
Dont think ive ever used above 10gb and its 25 euro diff per month.
Do we use rend?
nope, blood and thunder makes thunder clap apply it
Stupid question then, but why do the guides then suggest that we talent into rend?
you need to have rend at least
for blood and thunder to apply rend
but you dont need to put the actual ability on your bars
Got ya
Kia ora! Any theorycrafting on Defender's Aegis vs Impenetrable Wall?
Or am I reading old data?
Wall seems a million times better
Aegis was just a low-effort replacement talent for the busted party shield wall talent we used to have in beta
Ah I was about to ask about that, thank you muchly 🙂
anyone prioritising a craft for prot warr?
alchemy so i can grab buffs
I'd like to 2nd this. Any specific work order which would be optimal to get?
is there any value in doing the Sojourner of each zone?
It was also the 4set tier in cataclysm. So not sure why it would be so hard to implement.
copy-pasting some scripting from over ten years ago never goes as easily as you'd hope in game development lmao
lulwut?
i'm saying that just because something was in the game forever ago doesn't mean it's trivial to implement now
anyway that's not why they made defender's aegis, it really seems like they were just done with working on warrior talent trees and had other priorities so removed the busted one in favor of a talent no one would care about
ah that was the comment you reacted to 😄
thought you found something where blizz fucked up because they tried to ipmlement som old code
WoW uses very very very little data. 15GB could run WoW for like months probably.
Depends on what you define as "value"
I guess you mean player power due to this being a spec channel. In that case, I don't think so (that is the answer I came up with after asking myself this question on monday :D)
To my knowledge you barely get normal mode ilvl, with renown 25
And renown 25 should be significantly more rep than what a "normal" rep in e.g. SL would require, while world quest should be more sparse due to the biweekly lockouts
If I posted BS, pls someone let me know
thats from the DF goole doc
Is Ignore Pain undertuned?
got 184k max hp at lvl 68 and it only gives about 16k max hp shield per 35 rage, seems kinda low
Yeah it's more the updates around this time of the game release that would chew through it
Oh I see it's a temp hotspot. Should be sweet
scales based on vers/ap, caps at 30% of your health, that's about 8.6% of your health per cast and you cast a lot of Ignore Pain (like 10-15 casts per minute probably). Seems fine to me
Aight thanks
whas the minimum ilvel to do normal dungeons on df?
someone told me its 36mb per hour. So not a lot no 😄
Ye, worked brilliant, 5g with 150mbit connection on phone. Had double ms but i survived 😛
Yeh, meant player power or at least something "useful".
Hi all !
I would like to know the best profession for prot warrior?
It's for MM+ and Raid MM progress!
Thank you all and good game
anyway to add shield charge and charge into 1 macro, so if shield charge is not ready it'll use charge?
So afaik, if you did e.g.
#showtooltip
/cast Shield Charge
/cast Charge
It'll cast both if both are available and you're NOT in melee range
It'll cast Shield Charge if Shield Charge or both are ready and you ARE in melee range
It'll cast Charge if Charge or both are ready and you're NOT in melee range.
ah that was easy.. thanks
Didnt they put shield charge on the gcd?
only in melee range
fair enough
And in any case, Charge is not on the GCD so it would still cast both no problem unless you were mid-global
We're not fast enough to make running out and charging back in viable, by the way
So it's not reprisal levels
Even if you heroic leap and charge for style points? 😮
hmm i think i can do a m0 at 330
easily
in SL m0s were very easy with zero-effort leveling gear
assuming you like, avoided mechanics that could kill you
eu back up again
I am feeling overwhelmed by buttons available to me and lacking hotkeys for them. Are there any macros you would suggest like the one above casting charge or shirld charge using the same button?
meanwhile i have a button for fishing
Nope, there really aren't any macros for that sort of thing
Class has a lotta button
Then i need to rethink hotkeys i guess, currently using alt and shift as modifiers but it gets clunky with movement
LG G600 will change your life
almost forgot how annoying it is not having dungeon ports
having to fly all over is sad
this
on sale on amazon rn
best value mouse for sure
Just don't ever buy it from LG
I had to replace mine not too long ago and 5 weeks after ordering it from LG's website, they still hadn't shipped it. Cancelled the order, ordered from Amazon, got it 2 days later
I recently bought an mmo mouse with 9 buttons, one of the best decisions for wow ever. Its just hard to describe the difference, not only in added keys but how easily and effortless you can play them. Honestly feels mandatory now.
I could never go back xD
Ah damn, i dislike the bulky 12 button mouses 
i can't handle more than 4 buttons on the side
Same
I have a Logitech G700... works very well for me, buttons feel distinct. beyond that it gets too much
i gambled on an offbrand that has 9 vs 12 for the naga and it also has removable palm grip if you want palm or claw grip.
for the same reason and its very nice
The G600 is not very big in my opinion. And the buttons are very well designed so it's easy to know what button you're pressing
Ty for everyones suggestions btw 🙂
Prot is immortal boys. Living the warrior dream so far
