Just did a dungeon - Shield of the Hearth buff had 60% uptime. So, decent proc. It is only craftable via Blacksmithing and can be upgraded the usual ways through BS (which I don't think is possible yet until Primal Infusions are available)
You're an absolutely insane defensive ring
GOTTEM
Logoff until next week
lmao
Is it BOP ?
Yes, but you could get it via crafting order.
im only flying around ohn'ana planes herb colecting and mining
Hope you do it in wm for more herbs!
Y
There are empowered herbs and ores
Does Bloodsurge (rage per bleed) proc off Zandalari racial embrace of kimbul, or just off warrior ability bleeds?
So yea, you get more in wm
There is a point taking the defensive ring over the offensive one ? (with the proc damage on your attacks/spells)
does not
Where do you got that Ring oO ? Workorder?
rep in cobalt assembly
Is there a preferred blacksmithing specialization for us? Anything thats kind of BIS or naw?
any good guides for setting up WA and UI in general for tanking
you need 4/5 rep on cobalt assembly
there are a lot of personal preferences but in general everbody (that is good) uses the common layout where you have both you and the target frame in the middle of the screen, abilities on bottom edge of screen and just build your weakauras around the place youll find them the most attractive - a guide can be found on youtube, just dont use some random dudes advices
Where does ravager fit in our opener?
that wouldve been my question aswell
avatar>ravager>roar>demoshouz
and obviously spend rage on sb and ip
I assume this is AFTER charge/leap/shield charge?
sure!
I mean for a given random pull in a dungeon, I'm popping avatar/ravager/roar/demo when I land from a leap, then probably shockwaving to stun
yeah you can do that
youll want the ravager and roar to benefit from avatar and demoshout dmg + a racial if youve got one
Does macroing thunder clap with ignore pain makes any sense? Prolly not?
nooppe
since ip is off gcd and tc is mot
people gotta learn that you can use sb and ip during every single ability you do
no need to macro weird stuff just cuz you dont feel comftable yet 😉
Alright thanks!
yea, i dont think prot can proc the damage9
used it for a bit never saw the damage in details
When doing high M+ would we look to drop a point from ravager or champion's bulwark for battle-scarred vet?
Rares are daily or weekly lockout?
Also why would we take intimidating shout when we could take barbaric training
Depends if you need another stop for m+ trash or not
No. It's gonna eat all your rage and will either affect your SB uptime or leave you rage starved with free globals because you cant revenge to proc SS resets
We don't have a reliable way to proc the dmg ring
It only works with spells
Yes noticed this yesterday, our BM hunter couldnt get it to proc either, so prolly a hotfix will come soon, cause wierd if no melee/hunter would be able to use the ONLY dps ring
No, if you play properly you won't need BSV
if you want you can drop impenetrable wall for cheat death
If caster has their casting synced, you spell reflect several casts? That's a bug right? Tooltip says first only?
If they hit simultaneously, it will reflect more than one
Oh thanks, i think i have missreading the ring xD
ye, and thats a bug not a feature?
No it's not a bug.
been that way forever
It's always been like that
Server ticks aren't choosy
Tooltip explicitly says "reflecting the first spell cast on you"
Yes, we're aware of what it says. And 99% of the time it's true.
happens very frequently
But if spells hit simultaneously, there's not really a first one is there
game server tick rate is very low, if spells hit in the same server tick they all get reflected
always a first, it doesn't have to be synced to the millisecond, seems to accept a whole global
I'm not really sure what you're looking for here
Will it make you happy if I just say it's a bug
Happy? Not really but it would make you right, if thats what you wanna be.
So if you already had the answer you wanted, why did you ask
Because i didnt and you wanted to argue semantics?
you didn't ask?
If both spells hit you at the exact same time, how will it know which one to reflect?
Yeh, i'm asking because maybe they just didnt update the tooltip and I have a vague memory of us having a version where it reflected all casts for the duration. And then you started saying its working as intended, which its clearly not.
K.
In legion you had a specific artifact trait which allowed you to reflect all spells for 5 Seconds
In pvp for arms and fury spell reflect worked for 3 full seconds in bfa iirc
whichever mob started the cast first?
With its first introduction in tbc, spell reflect worked like it does now. Reflect as many spells as go off at the same time
Should give us the OP version back :p
But both go off at the same time?
Like, most mob casts line up
If both casts are 1.5sec and both start at the same time, you'll reflect both
I've noticed they don't have be exactly. It seems to be a good 0.5sec acceptance. Anyhow, i never intended this to be a huge thing. I was just curious if it was supposed to reflect all or not and then here we are xD
If its 0.5sec diff, you're not reflecting both
travel time
Even with 0.1 you're not reflecting both
Travel time doesn't matter
It matters when the cast was finished
Not when the cast Animation landed on you
I literally just watched it happen when i wrote it. Their casts were not synced.
Your WA still recorded 2 reflects
^
All that matters is when the damage of the spell hits. The animation, the travel time, none of that matters. If the spells do damage at the same time, it will reflect both.
The only time where travel time does anything is with instant casts mixed with casted casts
A mage can for example hardcast a frostbolt at you, and before it lands it could send a frostlance, and you'd reflect the frostlance but frostbolt would go unreflected
It's not worth worrying about in pve
fair enough, thanks for the detailed breakdown 😄
Your best bet is to just hold reflect until the very cast you want to reflect is 0.1sec from finishing
To prevent sniping something else
Yeh, i was thinking about bringing this up but didnt wanna make it an even bigger thing lol
Also important to note, if you press reflect after the casted spell got sent and is flying due to travel time, you won't reflect it
Reflect has to be up before the cast had been finished
Folks, can I pretty much just macro ravager to Avatar for m+?
Nah
Too much rage gen?
good to know, i was thinking about that too 😛
They're both GCD anyway right?
Avatar is not
There is a point to demoshout before roar to increase the damage of TR's bleed ?
Absolutely
But it's also fine to demo shout after roar
80% of roars dmg is the bleed component, demo only lasts for 8 sec, the bleed lasts for 10
Oh that's good to know
Does the bleed damage increase when you demoshout after applying the bleed ?
That's what he's saying yeah
demo shout is dynamic so yeah
oh nice
TR doesn't snapshot
Snapshotting doesn't exist for anyone but feral druid
Thanks for the answer ! very good to know
I'm sorry I was short with you. I responded more harshly than I intended.
Anyone already got some xp regarding Professional? Does IT make Sense to Go weaponsmith for shield and weapon? Or do i get more/better Gear by doing m+? (Which my group is going to do as our endgame)
i crafted a 374 shield, can't get any better from m0 atm so thats a gain since i dont rely on it to drop anymore
Was my plan too. But im a bit overwhelmed of the complexity of Profs
Guess IT IS worth to do it
does anybody know if this trinket is actually good? i dont really like secondary stat trinkets because im missing out on +-250 strenght https://www.wowhead.com/item=198627/blood-of-the-khansguard?bonus=7935
This green trinket of item level 398 goes in the "Trinket" slot. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date.
just read yourself trough everything! i've went for shield crafting first since if you max it out you can rep shield for free (same goes for main hand)
Ha- wanted to get this too this afternoon
Anyone have any info about tanknotes and when they will add dungeons?
Thanks! Will do 🙂
@gaunt dawn ? Or Maybe @spice crystal
Hi guys. I have a question : how do you feel the dmg with prot ? How much do you deal in mm0 in singletarget and AOE ?
I like the Dmg of prot atm
I have a lvl 60 boost. Got warr, pala and druid tanks sorted. Never played or liked BDK but open to being converted. This char will be my herb/mine slave drone but has to be tank class. Thoughts?
1ppm, this trinket is worse than a normal one
Dädäm 😄
Well, if you are just gonna herb/mine i suggest you pick a race that does it fast (tauren, hm tauren). I also would prefer something with mobility (not dk)
Heroic leap is pretty neat if you somehow miss your landing and need to move quickly between nodes. And a bonus is the chad-factor of warriors
druid for flight form to use during gathering in old worlds (and maybe in future ones, as nobody know what will be the future of dragonriding)
you can do gathering professions on top of dragonriding mounts
everything else gets you dismounted
after 50 iirc
These 389 rings you can get that peeps were talkin about today. As prot tank in dungeons, which one do you guys think is better ?
damage
tyty
Thats probably the best perk xd
for a new prot, are there any quick tips you could give now in DF?
press buttons
quick tip: pull as much as you can and don't die
📓
On my end, no, seriously, press buttons
Prot's one of the higher APM tanks, and we never have a dead global whatsoever
We're not quite as arthritis causing as S4 Shadowlands,
but you should still be pressing a lot of buttons
The dmg one doesn't proc for prot a whole lot
pretty used to fury so think ill be fine there :hmm
So the defensive one is our pick
Because it procs only off of spells
None of our buttons are spells
@strong forum did you fully tested the „hold key for blablabla“ Option ?
Does it work on Tc?
@clever heart wtf where Do inget the ring 😶
Original CD is 1.5min
Nah
Because of - dont wanna? XD
Hmmm
Pmuch, I see absolutely no reason to even test it
we don't spam tc so how would you even use it
Thought tc on cooldown ?!
Of course you do, but that's not what that function is for
It's for pressing the same button multiple times in a row
If you were to say, hold down the TC button, it would press TC, then you press idk, revenge for example, and now you have to press it again to recast tc
it's not like a turbo controller where it's just endlessly pressing the button
@echo elk i thank you
@strong forum is there a point where bolster becomes better than shield charge reprisal defensively?
if i didnt int the math currently its 6.33 sec more shieldblock uptime per minute, is that haste value reachable where that difference becomes meaningless and we just like the lower cd on last stand?
How do I get [Earthen Soul] when Im not an engi? I want to place a workorder for shield
How good is avoidance for us?
buy the zapthrottle soul thing + empty cages. beat down an elite elemental to low %, click the zapthrottle thingy, click the 'yes bind to me' option, then hope it works before your dots kill the elite
I have a couple 372 helms.. one is vers mastery avoidance and other is haste vers... is haste better?
15m CD if you miss. also if you dont miss it gives you a 'angry' soul that you need to wait 15m to open for the Earthen Soul you actually want
I would give zero fucks about tertiaries until much later
Yeah leaning towards haste vers
You get 16sec of SB from reprisal in 1.5min, 15sec from Bolster every 2 minutes, so in just raw SB uptime SC beats it by insane amounts
I mathed 6min and its 64 from reprisal and 45 from bolster
But i guess last stand is not that sick of a cd for war
Reprisal grants you extra 20 rage and damage, whereas Bolster grants you 30% hp every 2 minutes
You'll have to use LS on CD to barely keep up SB rotationally meaning you have to pop it even when the 30% buff isn't gonna be all that useful
And yeah LS is just really underwhelming
You get safer SB uptime with Bulwark
No see, it's an oh shit button Nome. You pull, you almost die because you don't know what Shield Block is, you press Last Stand, you get healed for 30% and you have shield block up for 15 seconds and then you die when the shield block falls. 😏
I guess its good in early season to learn dungeons
But then drop it once you know wtf youre doing
I mean, you don't need to know the dungeons to know how to press your buttons though
Good as in less brain allocated
How to pull the packs efficiently tho you need to know the dungeon
But from what Nome is saying, you're actually safer re: SB uptime with Bulwark, so that would actually be the play anyway
More leeway if you get distracted for a second
I think i will just play both first week cause i play like a retard usually when i dont know the dungeons
I'll pray for you
I play HR anyway
Odyn pls watch over our boy Scytherr
Self crafted shield will protect me
I know you only have one eye but give it a try
The King of Skyhold
The King of all !
You mean skovald?
Can someone explain to me how does that assault on dragonbane works ?? There is like 40 min timer and to me it seems bit random when it starts ?
hey there, quick question 😄 since i am pretty new to warrior tank - do we EVER use Rend manually?
No
Wow wow wow … playing with fire Here
my server - the timer is wrong. basically a group a dracthyr invade djaradin area to reclaim their home. acts just like a scenario w/ mini objectives and a final boss. triggers if you're in the area.
I play bolster so playing into the fray feels good
But you do you
I don’t like any gaps in my sb
And yes there will be couple second gaps with no sb charges if you don’t play HR
Yea i was folowing timer, and it seems to not be doing anything, do i realy just have to wait there endlesly till it starts ?
where that horn is on the map, there should be a group of NPCs hanging out before it starts for like 10m or so. if they arent there, fly north into the djaradin area and see if they're already moving. if no scenario thing pops up, go do something else and try again later I guess
Yea there was that horn and timer was showing like 40ish mins, waited like 13 and they did not move a inch so i gave up
it was bug reported in beta, but apparently they missed it. if you're nearby I think theres some yell/RP when it starts
so just farm the area I guess til you get it. or hack the server and fix their code!
Anyone with the knowledge about when/if the spell reflect WA will be updated?
Don't use pawn
ilvl > current ilvl = good
Stat weights are a relic of the past
For pretty much 99% of specs
Godking skovald for 2023 
Nah, there are 2 timers for the event. When the supply cart has moved up already and the ‘forward base’ has been build you are probably to late if you haven’t been there from the start as the boss has probably been killed already. The timer on the map however stays in place until it runs out and only after that fact will you see the Horn move back out and a new 1h timer starts. The 2nd timer is the ‘real’ timer for when the event starts from the beginning. Then tooltip of the horn is just badly written for when the assault is underway.
And when they are spawned, how do you find out how long until even actualy starts?
Look at the timer and wait for it to run down. Then afterwards a new timer pops up and counts down from 1h. The new timer is when the event starts again.
It’s 1h after the current event timer runs out.
Timer you see by hovering the mouse over the horn.
Ok but is 15% haste and 12% vers enough 
Cobalt assembly how worth is that to farm it dmg and defensive wise to farm for rep?
Irrelevant but nothing better to do
Unless you wanna have fun
You get torghast like powers
Custom group finder is full of ‘cobalt farm’ groups to join
Pull bigger and more and make sure to loot all the corpses
Do at least 3 people in your group have keyboard
Best to do at ‘off hours’
Or you end up flying around trying to find big groups to gather
And just see 3-5 packs only.
Best when you can pull 10+
No, they hotfixed it to reduce the drop rate of the rep item
I was grinding last night for about 2 hours doing big pulls with friends and only got about 1/3rd thru medium
hey, haste or vers for alchemist trinket pls ?
Is any crafted gear apart of our “BiS” gear?
which prof are u guys pairing for prot?
I understand that but I’m considering If it’s worthwhile for me to dump energy into blacksmith.
I'm leaning to m+ and alch eng has always been nice, but I'm not entirely set yet, I'm still double gathering atm
I heard the shield should be Good - but it’s Ypur Choice - i Pump in BS anyway because - hey we get a amboss pet xD
Yeah i had inadvertently gotten almost all the rep doing the daily yesterday
By myself
So is it still around 1h or no?
From my experience last night, no. Not at all.
Gotta find an empty shard. I ran around without wm and got like 400 rep in an hour because it was flooded. Joined a wm group and blasted out the rest of it in 50min.
Was that after the hotfix?
Should you never use shield charge unless the target has demo shout on them first?
the way champions bulwark reads is as if its a good opener option to charge, but it does a metric fuck ton of damage so im thinking demo shout with booming voice would be better first, or shortly after
slam it on CD, unless you have demo shout/avatar up then press those first of course
when it comes to the trinkets, are the darkmoon any good ?
darkmoon are usually good entry level trinkets for high ilvl before you start raidin
Icy veins says decent alternative If you have No drop luck
what im asking is if its worth the 600k or not 
they are not
Wouldnt buy IT for 600k
i always do charge/leap+charge>avatar+racial>ravager>roar>demo>shield charge fitted in demo shout window
excluded sb and ip here for simplicity*
Prot is invincible in dungeons rn man. I’m loving this ish. Using dorkis layout. Great toolkit.
Haste around 18%, feels great
it surely is but is dorki using into the fray in his build atm? feels like its the way to go till higher keys
Most tanks are invincible in trivial content 🤷♂️
it feels dog compared to being used to 30% T,T
I sit here at 8% haste and the gcd is so long that I feel like I am lagging cause my muscle memory is used to buttons being available sooner lol
With a healer alt, I can say false
Def
yeah i imagine with heroics and m0s you run into more riffraff or people learning something new
Yeah my HP didnt drop at all in this dungeon i did, forget the name but it was long AF and had a frog boss
and a bunch of dragons
weirdly the frog boss 1 shot me on heroic somehow lmao
I was leveling a prot paladin in dungeons yesterday and had multiple instances of lvl 70 dps classes doing 2k overall damage in normally dungeons.
People being bad at the game is nothing new.
2k? Wow
is this fixed, or is it still farmable without 1-2 hours?
Someone above said they did it in a big WM group via group finder in about an hour
Might be worth trying that
sounds promising. Do you have it? Someone in the comments said the stats are 'way less', whatever that means
I don’t. Going to try again tonight in a larger group but yeah after about 2 hours with my smaller group I just couldn’t be assed.
I went with the dps ring
Yeah it took less time before the hotfix linked above.
is there any plater mod for showing reflectable spells in a special colour?
i just have the one für SL spells, dont finde an updated for DF
For the gulping goliath...is the only way to drop the stacks is to kite?
How is Dragonflight so far? I haven't really seen anyones opinions on it that tried to remain unbiased
buying rn
I skipped shadowlands, came back a few days before xpac leveling 50-60 in SL not knowing about the chromie scaling thing.... going from awfully scaled quests in SL to DF.... 10/10 lol
That is torture haha
by 59 i was in maldraxxus getting 1400xp per quest lol
I leveled so many characters in SL, you're making me vomit with the thought of doing quests for that little in those zones
Its really hard to give an opinion on a expansion thats a couple days old
Imo, the dungeons and content is better than what shadowlands was
I realize that, especially with the honeymoon period going on right now, which is also why I have to ask
Why are the dungeons better? IS it because it's fresh, or is it something with the dungeons that make them better?
I like the aesthetic more mostly. Some dungeons will be pretty hard when they will be in the mythic rotation.
I usually hate gimmick dungeons but nokhud offensive is a pretty good gimmick dungeon.
Theres a lot of things that need to be kicked so more interactive
nokhud offensive is absolute dog water
shittiest dungeon ever made ever in the history of the game
and im including lower kara, tol dagor, Kings Rest, and seat of the triuvirant
Whatever the dragon riding one is sucks cock
thats cockhud

in spite of nokhud offensive
Packs before last boss are illegally bad
i agree dungeon design is way better
So already a dungeon that's a bit controversial
theres no controversy
the only redeaming quality of it is that dragon flying is fun
absolutely every part of that dungeon is absolute shit
The ballista boss is the worst thing I’ve ever seen
Just non stop ads running away from boss you have to kill
How many dungeons at max lvl?
At m0 easy
8 new dungeons
You will die on some bosses if you dont do research beforehand
and i think know 4 in rotation from previous expansions when m+ drops
I really hated the big dungeons in like the .1 or .2 patches that gets split up into new m+ dungeons, that shit wack
That will probably happen again
They are big fans of mega dungeons
My biggest complaint about taz was it’s release gear wasn’t worth getting after they nerfed the neck so I never ran it and hardly ever did the split m+ dungeons of it
I didnt enter taz until october of this year
and i was actively playing when it was new content
in general im a fan of mega dungeons
Mega dungeons are usually to spice things up towards the end of an expac so who knows what they are thinking now with the rotating dungeons per season.
The mega dungeon itself doesn’t really have a place before it gets split to m+
S3 is probably just ‘best of the first 2 seasons, 2 old dungeons brought back and a mega dungeon split to 2
But then they got turbo nerfed
But then what will they do for S4 (if we get one) 🤔
I’d bet s3 is the same 4 as s1
Then if we get s4 same as s2
Nah
But yeah 2 old and 2 mega from then on


The whole point was to avoid running the ‘same’ all expansion. So they won’t just roll the same 4 from s1 into s3 etc.
typing hard
end of expac?
actually black rock depth was available very early on 🤓
i feel like they've all been released in season 2, turned into m+ in season 3
IDK wtf a black rock depths is
Gotta be a million years old
little known fact: dog's crown was earned for remembering the oldest things
guys, anyone knows where I can find some mdt routes for the new dungeons ?
Meant the m+ part of them
Hold W, routes don’t matter now.
yo might be a stupid question but did they change prot talents overnight?
No
they did change them over the last like 4 months
so if you were asleep fora long time i could see why you might think that 
hey definitely not what i asked right?

oh im dumb, just not the same way you thought i was
lol your avatar perfectly matches your response
lmfao
nah its worse, i was looking at ravager capstone thinking "why is there no choice node" then remembered thats only for fury
i started hyperventilating, too much PTSD from insta nerfs when warriors have fun
is storm slam SR-able?
no
the physical portion is blockable but also not whts killing you
the nature damage portion is not reflectable but the debuff that makes you die is apparently dispellable
It’s a new expansion I expect healers to take a bit of time to figure that out
i say apparently cause i havnet done my m0s yet so i dont know from experience but everyone who has done them has said that it just needs to be dispelled
but the q comes up a lot as tanks die instantly open their death recap and say "huh thats a lot"
Literally me yesterday wondering how I took a 200k hit
The whole point of the tank hit and debuff is for the healer to dispel you so you do not die to subsequent casts.
The physical damage part of the hit stays the same and the nature part is what will 1 shot you at high enough stacks if it’s not dispelled.
2-3 stacks started to be lethal on +15-17s on beta without using defensives.
and he still casts while on his horse dragon, ya?
Can dravthyr healers dispell it
IDT theres a haeler that cant dispell magic debuffs
its magic, every healer can dispel magic, would be omega useless if they couldnt
is there a simple addon to help track shield block, and other active mitigations, or would a WA be better ?
track as in like, i pressed the button, i can see how long it's active for
what do you guys use
Hi Nom
Weak auras
Maybe something here will work for you https://wago.io/dragonflight-weakauras/classes/warrior/protection
thanks chief ! some of these look great
i´ve heard there are some juicy emblished crafted setpieces. are they worth to craft?
@strong forum does your WA pack have sounds like Cathas
i really dislike how bitter immunity is locked behind improved leap
Yes
What do you want bitter immunity for?
thats irrelevant
Imp leap is bis for me
Anyone else noticing that your shield durability is getting demolished relative to other gear?
it does get hit alot
thats normal ye
shit WA
im a normal humna
anyone know if theres a way to disable those circle shit things that come up when stuff like SS resets?
default blizz ui
Yes, in the basic settings you can remove them (reduce to 0% visibility)
Game settings I mean, no need of any WA or addons*
where do you mean?
i cant find it 😦
Yoyo fellow prot Warriors, is there a wowhead page on a complete in depth guid?
guide*
Is it trinket or what ?
But damn 10min cd
still does alot of dmg
free damage even if its on 10m
and i think you can use two of them im not sure though
cause engineering can use 2 tinker lsots
Bis way to farm primal chaos?
Mythics
did a million dmg in a dungeon atleast
384 goggle require spark?
Meh I’ll craft shield first
do we only have access to one currently?
I want one
My understanding was you only got one spark in the first 2 weeks. The one from the campaign.
Could be wrong though.
Imagine crafting before running mythics
I'm thinkijng of trying a M0 at 300. Am I insane?
Nope
should be fine
Just dont do too much yolo pulls and u fine
Especialy in that ofense dungeon, at last packs
so enduring scale has no icd or what?
it procced while i still had the buff tho
Is that the stamina one with the proc?
Or the str one with shield
str
K
1ppm doesn't mean it can't proc back to back
It means on average it'll proc once per minute
You can proc it 5 times back to back and then not get a single proc for 5 minutes
imagine not crafting an item that does 9th on your total dmg
didnt know that exactly
for gearing up right now does this sound like roughly the right order:
- m0 world tour
- rep vendor stuff? like the 389 rings?
- a big 'ol crafted piece
How so
What’s the actual ppm?
wowhead says 2ppm
even dps can use it lol
Won’t make it to mythic week
I see the guides talent into rend even though you never use it manually. Is there a reason for that?
Actually it’s a 70k shield right? So abt 1.1k hps.
We have abt 400k hp at ilvl 400.
cause blood and thunder doesnt work if you dont talent into rend
ah I see, thank you!
question: any tip for doing big aoe dmg? like order of skills to use
stack cds and press revenge
TC does more damage with UF during Avatar.
does the cobalt ring do 0 damage for you guys too
doesnt work on warriors cause honest gamers
what a dumb bug
should i macro avatar and ravager togheter? :hmm
If the aoe is big enough to carry your rage gen with TC and bloodsurge spam then just TC and revenge
If that's the damage one, pretty sure it's supposed to work for us but it only procs off spells
apparently id does 7-8% damagfe for unholy
no
Avatar cd is reduced by AM, ravager's isnt so
you will avatar w/o rav often
i see ok
prediction: Todays hotfixes ‘all cobalt rings nuked from orbit’
hello guys what is the best professional for us xD?
Also at what ilvl is the dps? The % it does will go down significantly when he gets higher ilvl.
should i go like this, Avatar-ravager-roar-shout and spam revenge? :hmm
idk
but the point is it literally doesnt function for me
You wanna go in with charge avatar sb tc demo shout roar ravager
^alyrion typs faster than me
We don’t have want ‘spells’ I believe
also you dont want to spam revenge sorry if i gave that impression
Shield block
TC is more damage in avatar than revenge
ah
Not a bug
The ring only procs off of spells
the point was more just "spend rage offensively if you wantt o do damage"
madge
Also i wouldnt concern yourself overly with memorizing a set pattern of cd usage
stack CDs whe possible, generate and spend rage without overcapping
damage will come from there
well it was if i had a good set up or burst on a boss
wat i did was , shieldcharge-avatar-ravager-roar-demo but i gues thats wrong
I would argue playing the fundementals of the class correctly would have a higher impact than optimizing a global or two in a 2-5 minute fight
You could also go into battle stance for CDs
shield charge shouldnt be used to open fights raw
its a amage cooldown
you want it with avatar, demo, etc
you have regular charge to get to places
so i avatar before i use shield charge?
ideally because it hits like a truck
i see, im abit bricked from fury so i wanna use avatar on mobs not before i get to them haha
you just ideally want avatar running for all of your big damage buttons - shield charge, ravager, thunderous roar
You can shield charge in melee! 
Ravager - charge + avatar - TC - Demo - roar - SC
^
did they fix the rav bug?
Alternatively
Rav - charge + avatar + Demo when close - TC - roar - SC - TC/rev
should i remove rav @playe'r macro?
I find a lot of packs I wanna jump in first to get the mobs to move towards me before using any abilities. Where as if you just charge in or aggro from range with ravager they will stand still and refuse to move later.
yeah, you often want to throw it at pack before charge
I like my player macro so I can just throw it down when mobs are grouped up
I dislike the positional changes in many packs you get from throwing ravager at range first.
i thought rav being first lost ticks of damage
It still does afaik
It does
But it's better threat and doesn't fuck with demo order
It also Sims higher if yiu send it before Demo
cool
But that's cuz it's already in range
Naowh is saying HR is not as good as ITF for m+, has anything changed?
Nope.
ITF is more damage in aoe. You just need a lot of haste to keep SB up 100% of the time.
do you still need val'jar exalted for the worldbreaker scale to spawn?
the hidden prot artifact skin.
His m+ built runs ITF + Bolster
There's an issue?
Idk, you brought this topic up ?
Yeah, HR vs ITF + Bolster
It's literally pinned as an alternate build.
With an explanation with the differences
gotcha, i'll have a look
Good to see it’s all discords not just DG
I just remember Nome saying he would only run ITF in meme keys lmao
Yes
Cuz it's shit damage unless you can get 5 stacks
And the hardest sections of keys are bosses
You'll never have 5 stacks on bosses with a normal comp
personally not gonna be going pure optimized big pulls AOE build until after a few weeks - early keys are more likely bricked by bosses when everyone's learning the dungeons in my experience
And also won't have 100% sb uptime on them
So you're creating a weakness for yourself
Just because you want a bit of aoe dmg
Yeah, those are good points, ig it depends how much more dps ITF gives you
ITF and Bolster still requires high haste for full block uptime.
Not like it matters a lot now given trivial damage intakes
You're also losing 3-4% dmg overall because you don't have nails
Think when I tested on beta on dummy at 30% haste with ITF, bolster, ED and bulwark I had gabs at 3min 30s and 5min 45s
Dunno if 30% haste is reachable anymore with how omega nerfed gems are now
I lost like 10% haste when they nerfed them
SC = shield charge?
On the 4 dummies ITF was quite a bit more dps even after subtracting nails
Yes
For me it's was only like 2-3k dps if you count in nails
I am definitely not playing ITF when keys come out until I get giga haste values
Same
Same for me
If you are fine with SB gabs you can run ITF but for most people the 100% guaranteed SB uptime is more valuable than marginally more aoe dps, which is probably just padding damage anyway.
i was playing ITF cus its the default on wowhead :despair
You can play without talents these 2 weeks 🤷♂️
im trying to learn
im new to tanking and warrior, first time ive ever played warrior
Both builds are fine
Both have upsides and downsides
I prefer to have ultra SB uptime without wasting a thought and just go ham
Itf has higher highs, and lower lows
HR + nails is consistently good
Especially if you are new to pwar go for the ‘safer’ option of HR over ITF.
I have 8% haste right now and SB uptime sucks even with HR lol
Thank you for a concise answer nome 
Ya depends on SS resets a bit there
It can only go up from there though 🙂
Only time I've dropped SB was in aoe where I padded revenges instead of pressing SS

And I guess prolonged fighting of 5mil hp elites solo
Yes
thats a new one you can get interrupted channeling the neltharion breath ....
also annih fury can solo almost anything
do you guys use demo shout on cd? by that i mean on CD on bosses, and if ur still in a pack and it comes up
what
Yes, everything on CD
ok thanks ❤️
u heard me
that pseudo dh bs can do anything?
i wipe my taint with DHs in pvp rn
but no
annih fury heals for giga
dmg doesn't suffer at all
we're talking about soloing world content
So has anyone with actual gear gone back and see how old SL raids feel? There's some transmog I want to start farming for over time once I actually get gear now that I'm capped
i did some bfa raids, my damage wasn't multiplied so shit takes a while
still easy just tedious
you can kill DHs? well i dont even have pvp gear yet :lol
I was wondering if we had the DPS for SL raids, so that's concerning if BFA are long
Okay, so that's less than the SL world boss I hit for an attempt at a helm, since he had like 9.9m or something
About halfish
So might be doable, i dunno, i dont know enrage mechanics that well for sl i only did lfr because i couldnt be assed
i mean xpac started like 3 days ago
doing old raids wont be in my mind until the 1st pátch
We should have dps for bfa stuff
Maybe
Because they still didnt unfuck bfa
Doubt we have for sl
That's what I was figuring. I'd probably need to, bare minimum, bring a friend
When you guys grab avatar+roar+shockwave which capstones do you get?
UF, Thunderous Words
UF and-
🥷
SMOKEBOMB
Fucking weebs
I dont see the point in gettinf shockwave without sonic boom
for the aoe stun
It's an AOE stun in M+
stun
Just feels sad lol
sonic boon isnt even worth it
It's an additional kick.
if you use it as a DPS cooldown, you fuck over your group's ability to do CC
And it stops unkickable casts on CC'able mobs.
Just UF and TW
people saying is worth it, we already talked about this at the start of beta the dmg is not worth it
Uproar isn't worth it in M+
shockwave is just a useful m+ tool, can absolutely drop it in raid
^
Why do you think that? Cd every avatar seems good
or you can take sonic boom for fun if you're just doing open world stuff
Because you aren't going to be gigapulling every pull unless you're doing baby stuff.
You're going to be on an on-off cadence of pulling big around DPS CDs and yours.
This is basic M+ stuff
also avatar has a variable cooldown
Having roar up over CC is dogwater
Not dying to CC mechanics > a little extra damage
Anyone has a working cast sequence macro that work. Castsequence macro seems bugged.
I would like to do Shield Charge when I press once … then charge and charge when I press 2nd and 3nd time
excellent take
No point…
guides often underestimate value of utility.. hunter guide didn't recommend tranq shot for instance!
if you dont want to just use a modifier
like normal= charge, normal+shift= shield charge
guide doesnt even mention berserker rage
because the guide writers have neither raided nor did deep digging into m+
and yeah I take bounding strides also. BiS talent.
for all you know theres 0 fears in raid
99% of raid fears are horrifies which doesnt work with beserker rage
and in m+ its still hit or miss
in + most fears are kickable
and after a while they are predictable
like the warmongers in brackenhide they cast fear after ragestorm
Its not like hunters used tranq shot to begin with lol
its not that guides underestimate utility
guides are meant for general use
not for specific cases
Utility is just that, utility. If you need it you take it.
lol, i was triggered because when the prepatch came out I went to do an Iron Docks key with my hunter and was in a rush, so I pulled the reommended M+ build off wowhead and it lacked both scare beast and tranq shot, I couldnt figure out what was happening in the moment
Not generally recommended in all situations.
pressing button, nothing happening
thats not their fault
midlevel pug keys are gonna be the worst they've ever been
"sorry don't have that talent" all over the place
Imagine not looking at what talents you take and blindly copying a guide and then being mad you miss stuff..
I'm a smooth brain I don't want to be in a scenario where I need it and don't have it because I forgot to switch builds, so I just take it and accept a couple % less DPS potentially
IKR ? I blame my friends who were pressuing me to get the key started
yes! and then they point to the guide as the reason why....
i mean
Hey guys, is there a macro to put both skill in the same button but putting Shift?
,i dont have friends 
🤔
yeah a modifier macro
[mod:shift]
Charge and shield charge i mean
this
What other trinket am I going for? I like enduring scale and burgeoning seed?
The stam trinket seems awful from uldaman, have to fall below 50% health for it to proc
What was the fire whirl trinket from
Can't recall the name 🤔
Was good in practice from M+ on beta
Yee
Is there some "BiS" stuff to configure the addon or just look for haste things
im using this
And versa
XD thats for sure
I got this but it feels so bad for arms 
Yeah
or during
Bs also makes it really bad
wym
It’s casts
it'll still stack during bs
Wasn’t for me last night
well its supposed to
I’ll watch closer
probably implementation is wrong
Oh @loud patrol that trinket use then just impend victory holy fook
Great combo I just realized
Also, I came up with a weird idea for a build
We can all put stupid things in the calculator. Do you have a question or?
is tc during avatar supposed to be tc-ability-tc or tc-ability-ability-tc. The CD suggests tc-ability-tc. But for some reason when I do it I have not quite a full gcd after going tc-ability but what feels like half a gcd?
feels kind of awkward to wait half a gcd
to me it's definitely every other gcd
Depends on haste tbh
is not even half is 1/8 of a cd
@loud patrol half a gcd is maybe a bit much to say but still to me it's at 1/4 maybe? Enough that I feel awkward
obviously theres ping lag
True
try spell queue weirdness
your gcd is 1.5, your cd is 3
if you have 100% haste your gcd is 0.75
your cd is 1.5
its still every other global
Does the cd on TC get reduced the same amount as your gcd relatively?
yes
yeah actually I'm an idiot when I try it in a mroe controlled setting it's clearly every other global
I think it's just spell queue weirdness/ui not reflecting the cd speed properly/ping
thats true for all spells
so when it says 6 seconds, it means 4gcds ALWAYS
or 3 second being 2 gcds
that being said I was just in combat again and I had this issue again, where I go tc-> ability-> and then...tc isn't quite off cd yet. Don't know why that happens in combat and not just standing around. Weird
Have the same issues at low haste which is why I doubted what @urban portal was saying.
I guess, what’re the thoughts on going thunderclap less
This is during Avatar or just normal rotation?
Tc, ability, tc
I have a trinket which can randomly grant secondary stats, I wonder if it's granting haste inbetween casts and that's causing the tc cd and gcd to go out of sync
yes sorry should clarify this all during avatar
That is not a thought.
Avatar with UF
Will play like ass, you'll struggle insanely hard for rage gen
You can try it, but it won't be fun 😄
Aah
honestly in aoe I wish I had a toggle that just macros ignore pain to every ability I have once I press avatar
Haha true
How competitive is alch eng this expac for m+ tanking on prot? Still not set in my profs yet
Its like Whatever+ignore pain+whatever
+ignore pain
I'm pretty bad switching between enemys to apply slam shield to apply the debuff (wirh the talent)
If i sleep a bit i keep hitting the same mob
punish?
(Only switching to cut)
if you mean punish I'm pretty sure it's fine to just stack it on the same dude
^
the DR applications have their own durations
it stacks so no need to switch
I dont know how to explain this without going stupid for a sec so apologies if this explination is lacking:
I'll try to understand, think that i'm not a native english speaker so maybe i'm the dumb xD
Consider a multi target scenario where all targets do the same DPS to you
Applying 3% DR to 5 targets would be ~15% DR.
Applying 5 stacks of 3% DR to 1 target would be 15% DR
you would be reducing the same
Consider the same multi target scenario, but now one target does significantly more DPS than the other targets
It is possible to have 5 stacks?
applying 15% DR to that one target would provide more raw damage reduction than spreading the stacks out
Just a number i pulled out to do easy math
Ok ok
the concept is whats important
So maybe i need to study a bit the mithyc dungeon pulls
Damage reduction and "tankiness" is notoroiously difficult to compute
and its why we dont bother simming it
the take away here is "shield slam priority target for rage and profit"
and let punish be a nice add-on to that
Doesn’t give more rage in aoe
i did disclaim i was gettin stupid
The way you said it isn't correct, but the point you're trying to make is
You apply bleeds to multi target, it get a cap?

It’s bloodsurge that gives the rage. Not TC itself though.
Ye, but if thunder apply the bleeds
Whether you have 5 stacks spread across 5 targets a 1 stack or 5 stacks all stacked up on 1 target come about ot the same damage reduction
For me is ""the same""
Assuming all mobs do the same dmg
wait is that not what i said
Well
Fuck me
I still love you Bull
you shouldnt i cant do math
Demo shout very good
pin plz
Demo op nerf
the world needs to know
dont let blizz hear
Now if you were to phrase it like
"if you use demo shout on 4 mobs, you practically only fight 3"
That would then make some sense
Assuming all mobs do equal dmg*
But that's just a weird way to try and phrase it 😄
bro this napkin math gets fucking stupid real quick
but accurate
I dont really get why ppl get so hung up on the math when it comes to drs. Unless your trying to survive something super specific knowing it's whatever % of dr should be enough
Like wall makes me take half as much
40% is not half
Demo makes me take a quater less or half as good as demo
Improved wall is 50% no
That's gone
WHAT
Ye
shows you how much it mattered
All r2 spells are gone again
Considering i never noticed
i have to move it and hit 70 sometime this decade
No content to notice it in yet.
Any suggestions on what professions I should be running? Are there any that would give me big benefits?
10% dr is def worth the DF changes
I’m already a WoW masochist, I’ve been playing Prot warrior since BC and never swapped 🥴
So how is prot feeling 😄 ?
