Because tradtionally, not a single rep grind with such rewards have been done in 1 hour xD
traditionally there hasnt been rep grinds where you can stack some dumb OP powers either
I dunno. Game hasn't even been out a week. I think you either need food or sleep bro.
huh
You're just salty and grumpy towards everything
thats how i am
At least you own it, i can respect that.
this isnt even me salty and grumpy
Say it like you're proud haha
gonna be rough if you ever see those sides
I'll make a mental note to keep on your good side bro
On that note, i'm going to bed.

love you too
Man I have no idea how. I did the M0 world tour, did all the major world events, have filled available slot with war mode gear, done both of the chest events, and I'm only 268
You did stuff too early
I did the M0 tour first
Or havent done the farms
Not sure what farms you are referring to, there are several
Only 2 give good gear
you can farm for war mode gear, farm for the ring, do the wrathion rep, you could at one point farm rares, etc
ok, hear me out...
second wind is great
Man these two weeks are killing me
anyone know if there is a timer for the events scattered around the place?
Any opinions on what professions are most useful to prot (aside from BS)?
depends on what your content type will be
mostly M+
I was considering engi for sure, though I feel like the restrictive nature of the modules is a huge drawback
and that is true too
maybe engi and alch then
Does anyone have insight on what is the best crafted gear piece we should aim for and the longevity of that piece (assuming it can be upgraded like other pieces later).
full speed flying on maxed drake towards the island then with second wind and enough base HP
is it just a blank zone rn?
yep
wait isn't forbidden reach the starting zone for evokers?
i think so
it is yeah
i did it!
nice!
man i dont know if im bugged but i havent gotten one of those dragon profession knowledge things at all
except for the one in the quest for it
zero in my case
oh right
does anyone know if the darkmoon card watcher would be good for protection warrior or just skip it?
It’s a tiny nerf lmfao
What’s the nerf
yep we're done, time to pack it up if youre a reroller
Someone mind linking?
Yes
brutal vitality from 30 to 15
Fueled by Violence now heals for 85% of the damage done by Deep Wounds (was 65%).
Brutal Vitality now causes 15% of the damage you deal to add to your active Ignore Pain (was 30%).
That’s a reasonable nerf
Well I don’t like it
But I’m just glad my play style doesn’t change
anyone tested the darkmoon trinkets yet?
I presume we're going to run Fuelled by Violence instead then?
hi, how is prot difficulty in comparison to veng dh?
Though it is technically a nerf, I honestly feel like it was more of an attempt to balance the two talent choices rather than directly nerf prot
Like, I don't think the goal with this change was to make prot weaker, seems more like internal spec tuning the devs wanted to do
It's hard to answer the question. Prot has a lot of buttons compared to Veng. It's simple enough to play any tank. Playing it well is a different story. Right now, is the best time to get into Warrior as Shield Block is incredibly forgiving with current talent options.
a tad more difficult
harder to optimize
vdh dps cds are send and forget
i cant play bdk idk why i feel that i need more buttons lmao
warrior needs to set up avatar + demo with every other nuke and manage rage better than VDH fury
I don't have much experience with veng dh, but I did play a fair bit of blood DK throughout SL. For me warr feels overall easier, but it also feels like I have less control over the battlefield than blood DK does.
i have exp with vdh
its my go to tank alt
warrior is not easier than vdh
trust me
I think I have more fun overall on blood DK still, but prot warrior is fun too.
I just like the amount of control you have over runs as blood DK.
and the only tank alt that i consistently play has been VDH
Same.
i got the mage tower shit on all tanks and thats the one of the ones i absolutely hated the playstyle of
back in legion i mean
The main weakness bdk has is how rippy high keys can be
I do not like guardian at all
prot pally was kinda fun during pre patch ngl
i think he means grip
It's not that it is lacking necessarily, but BDK does just have more control over the success of a run I think with things like gorefiend's and the b rez
and yes just the basic grip
clutch b rez is not to be underestimated on a tank
which honestly doesnt matter because LoSing has been a thing shrug
there are plenty of times when it still matters
brez easily replaceable by engineering
like when a dps pulls a pat group or something
You can charge them. 😄
sure, gorefiend's is just easier and more immediate
ZOOOOOOM
if a dps pulls a pat... that's not a good key
yes, well, most pug groups are not good
i feel that's entirely a different problem
Thank you for the answers
it's rough tanking for pugs early on because you have people doing some weird shit in dungeons
its not rough at all, just pull everything and if you die then go smaller
very much true, and also learning the routes with new dungeons
I feel like we play very different games Nim lol
it's rough when people run ahead and taunt stuff on classes with taunts
then die alone like 2 packs up
or when a dps single targets something in a corner
yeah i let them die
i mean you cant keep taunting back there's DR
still doesn't make it enjoyable
this isnt about tank ego either
I've never had that happen in a dungeon. Where are you finding these people?
it happens quite often with hunter pets
It gets auto-disabled in dungeons though
i pugged last night with two friends and one random guy kept running ahead and growling in bear form
it was very weird
let him die
I don't really have a problem with the taunting, it's more the random pulling
What do armor spikes do and do they stack?
i did let him die
again that doesn't make it fun
random pulling is frustrating too
well it is what it is, but that sounds like just random normals or heroics tbh
You can use two across your gear.
I am just trying to make sure I am doing the best i can and it's hard as a newer tank to know if it's me or not
idk it sounds fun staring at him struggling with a pack
What they do... No idea
I'd say that 50% of my M0 groups were like that
Probably reflect or produce damage when you get attacked.
m0 is basically heroic with epic loot
you need a little bit of the god complex we tanks have
🤷
I am thinking of putting one on my first 384 which is a shield.
Sure, but that's just in terms of DF content so far
i think i just gotta get comfier and that's all
Or I can take the protector of the hearth shield
It happened in key pugs all the time in SL
I can't find anything about it online, no comments on WoWHead, so I would avoid for the time being.
so i can not feel sadge if someone dies or take it personally lol
my dude
if it happens in key pugs
the key is probably dead
just leave group and try again
its really no big deal
you can salvage keys much easier as bdk than as prot warr in my personal experience
which was my original point about control
the key isnt your responsability if people pull random shit
i feel like i have decent control on vdh
you tank whatever is pulled, if you wipe, its not your fault
of course not, but I don't have unlimited time to play, so timing is always a priority
ok then so leave and get into another group
All I'm saying is that I think BDK can salvage situations that prot would not always be able to, or at least BDK can in an easier way
like listenm
during pre patch i can see how this was happening in keys cause people were like YOLO new talents
in organized play prot is probably better (certainly right now it is anyway)
but all during s1 and s4, i can count with my hand the people fucking up with noob shit from 15 to 24
I think I am used to ffxiv threat
anything lower than 15, it's yolo land as well
and that's part of it maybe?
FFXIV has the same people doing the same stupid stuff. Lol
i mean you wall to wall in xiv
i do wall to wall in ffxiv
and literally the same shit happens if you dont wall to wall
Season 1 in DF is going to be a very different experience than season 1 in SL I think, but that remains to be seen really
people still pull when youre wall to walling though
I liked playing Paladin back in Heavensward
yeah they do
its just that ranged attacks there do so much emnity
but its like one of ANY attack to pull them back to me
just gotta get used to it
but also accept that people are bad
and let them die if they pull alone in a corner lol
ilvl affects a lot more threat here than it does emnity in xiv
nutty that someone would taunt packs during dungeons though when you're actively fighting them
ah yeah i noticed it's a lot better with higher ilvl
they are if you spec it
if someone is doing that ask them nicely to stop
if they dont listen leave
i mean, if its a normal or heroic it doesnt matter
its just a normal or heroic
same with m0
if its a key though, then just leave if its affecting the timer
I do think DPS have a tendency to blow their load a fraction of a second into a pull
if its not then just tank what they pull to your best ability
yes
a problem when im mass pulling
bad dps you mean
it's a bit odd
thanks Nimchip
❤️
i feel better about internally bashing them lmao
doubles/triples that are usually done, then yes i expect dps to blow their load
like lets say gambit left pull
you can either double or quadruple pull that
you lust it
if i see ONE single DPS not burning a CD on those pulls
i get upset
this is just an example
the problem is when they funnel into some random target and rip aggro from you, which I have happen quite often in big pulls
body pull?
oh yeah, just firing blindly at a random target
if this happens a shield slam is usually enough
hence body pulling
i mean if they are randomly tabbing to targets
they probably do not deserve a timer done
more than once i mean
one shield slam is usually enough to pull aggro back yeah
i dont think control is the problem there
the biggest problem with pulling randoms is routes get fucked
and you can either be underpulled or overpulled resulting on a bad timer
that's certainly another issue, and it does happen quite often in pugs
i dont think control has ever been something ive thought about on those scenarios
well no, things like that are outside of your control
I'm looking at it from a way to optimize my own time
its a team effort
and to that extent I found (at least in the past) BDK to be a safer bet
if one part of the team is working against it, then you cant really help it
outside of mentioning it i mean
bdk is rough for pug healers, no?
It's usually not too hard to carry one bad DPS if the rest of the group is good, unless you are in a pretty high key, but then bad dps don't make it that far
BDK is generally self sufficient
it is? i feel like its completly inmortal
idk ive just never had an issue where i thought BDK would be better to salvage a run
that's just what i've read, i don't heal lol
It can be annoying to healers if they aren't familiar with how BDK works I guess
Early on in SL it was sorta a problem, because BDK was quite unpopular
but this changed over the xpac as BDK became stronger and therefore more commonly seen
But really healers and BDKs don't interact much lmao
mechanically I mean
I have no idea how that water slip-n-slide hallway in halls of infusion is going to work with certain affixes
I feel like it is going to have to be changed in season 2 when it becomes part of the rotation
well first of all HoI isnt in the dungeon pool in s1
I know that, that's why I said season 2
no but is like the monster in the backround, outisde your house wating for the door to open to eat you

exactly 😭
I forgot shadowmoon burial grounds was a dungeon until I saw it as part of season 1
its not bad
but i saw the mobs before Nerzhul in beta were giga fucking trucks
pretty sure they got nerfed
but we will see
yo whats best stats? if ilvl is same

how much are people paying for armor commissions with the work order system?
oh shit good stuff here
like the tip amount
i dont think you should expect to make bank from it
if that's what youre asking
at least not righ tnow
I more meant how much should I put down if I want someone to make me a chest piece
lol
you have to realize crafters dont really give anything in for public crafting orders
if anything they will be looking to do the commission quest
true
so donation really doesnt matter
id say commission WILL matter if there's a million orders up
cause then crafters will just choose whatever pays the most for their week's 20s
i gave a 2k tip for my shield
related to crafting - is spamming dungeons the best way to get primal chaos?
ye
Anyone have an idea which is better?
the rich get richer 😭
but no strength on it
i mean i had 2k gold on monday
I meant the fact he had both of those weapons haha
What is the best crafted shield right now? I've seen the 392 crit haste one and the 285 one with the absorb proc.
Hey for leveling 60-70 questing, prot vs fury in terms of speed/convenience?
with no gear
prot was fine, i one shot all the mobs and took 0 damage. they dumbed it down
prot leveling has been a thing since legion
0 reason to go dps as a prot main for leveling
if youre a dps main then go dps
it doesnt matter really
sim but keep in mind forgestorm has no defensive value
not like you need it
One for ST one for trash?
I crafted boots for someone yesterday and he payed 8k for that xD
Was an public order
as a protection warrior, what tools do you have to displace mobs other than intimidating shout with Menace talent and BFA engineering belt tinker?
Shockwave + leap
find a wall and LoS
or a corner rather
its that and engi tinker (im guessing thats the knockback one)
i wouldnt rely on intim shout
ye the intim one is weird since you need a target near the targets you wanna knockback
yeah idk maybe it does have its uses
there are so many mobs in DF that just stand around and cast some random shit that are tricky to group up properly, not to many walls in nokhuld first area either, that pull in particular I always end up with one of the archers outside the rest of the pack
hmm but first area you jsut clear around ballistas
they should be grouped up already
the bonetossers in neltharius too, and the gnolls that cast something in bracken but when you kick them they start casting another uninterruptable cast instead and refuse to move
lots of corners in neltharius
yes but they dont follow me if they can see another player who is not in the corner, same with the rock throwers in ulda
bracken can be tricky
yeah i get what youre saying
in pugs its rough
i just yell at my team to LoS
I always try to put a world marker in pugs where I want people to stand, I should get an X marker too to put on a person who is standing where i DONT want people to stand maybe
did they stealth nerf cobalt rep drops. getting barely any 15 reps, and the blue reps are only giving me 30
before i picked up the 30% buff, i was getting 100s
bad luck maybe
they didnt stealth nerf
they nerfed
it was announced
but it was more for orbs tbh
either way i went from low to high in like an hour
weird
2 hours ago
it gets lagged as fuck if theres a community feast running
because small indie company
Hi, got a question. I am fairly new to warrior tanking, and I found this on a wowhead guide. It says this about shield block: 'Maintaining 100% Shield Block uptime while tanking is priority #1'.
How do I keep it 100% uptime? Mine lasts 6 seconds and it takes longer than that to recharge. And if I use it before the first recharge, the second time makes it go onto an even longer cooldown.
The WoWHead guide has likely suggested you take Heavy Repercussions and Enduring Defenses. You should be getting 8 second shield block and 1 second added when Shield slamming.
well if you're not level cap, don't worry about that
And if you are, you should be using Enduring Defenses
which makes it base last 8 seconds, for starters
Additionally reprisal from Shield Charge.
Thank you, I will look into it when I get a chance. I know sometimes my shield slam will get a reset on its cooldown. If that happens and I use it again, will it add another additional second to shield block as well? Or is the add 1 second a one time per activation of the shield block skill?
Anytime you shield slam, HR extends
oh awesome
ah i found it. The build I am using, has me taking into the fray instead of heavy repercussions
its not technically 100% uptime, its 100% when getting hit
which can be checked reliably with logs
right, so like it said. if a boss is doing some channel dont use it and what not right?
if youre looking at details you won't get a clear picture
or dont use it when hiding behind a corner waiting for the mobs to get to me
But also, right now it’s super easy to maintain 100% uptime flat without much haste
or use it when mobs are all casters
also dont pick up ITF if you're new to prot
and cant reliably be at 5 stacks
swap it for HR
ah ok, i just found the m+ build and was using it for doing heroics lol
ITF works if you have 5 buddies/pets/mobs close around you, its not as impactful otherwise
got it. and in a LFG heroic, thats near impossible since everyone just runs around doing their own thing lol
right
even in keys its impossible if youre not pulling sizeable amounts and have a good number of melee
and/or melee pets
ahh that makes sense. Cant have casters standing with you lol
cause imps do count iirc, its just they stay the fuck away usually
i mean casters can stand next to you, its just they usually dont
if it was me, id be there with the tank lol. Thats why i quit playing a warlock. Id end up hittin stuff with my staff forgetting to cast spells haha
well off to bed, thank you for the help/info
its just you
It at least give good rage
true
ravager is v threatening
to paper maybe
It's you.
I played all tanks on beta in m+, but didnt spend more than one dungeon on warrior because i didnt see the point, it didnt take damage and would get nerfed so I would try it after the nerf. Here we are 7 weeks later and it still doesnt take damage and I will main it but still expect tankiness nerfs during content release. What is the expectation here?
of course your not gunna take damage theres no content that does any damage atm
idk i personally dont see pwarr ever being bad even with nerfs
just from how we work
we got nerfed 3 times
theyd need to really nerf core things about our playstyle for it to happen
we received more tuning that any other tank
OMFG, I can pull the entire dungeon and survive.

To be fair, protection warrior isnt overpowered.
its thr player not the class - some random dude once told me
so we'll play Fueled by Violence now?
None of the tanks take damage
Even on beta, only one who took dmg was brew, but they did a shit ton more dps than any other tank
I doubt we get a tankyness nerf, considering our dps sucks compared to others
huh? our dmg sucks?
Compared to others, yes
compared to vdh,guardian and brew you mean?
And bdk
yeah that ones for sure hahah
I still out DPS the dps in pulls so idk dps is grand :P
my man
Bcs people suck, pwar pull is really strong
i dont have a single problem outdpsing bad dps but ceah ass hamy said ppl suck for thr most part
And mobs die so quickly and our dps is frontloaded
yes indeed dmg profile matters
tho in higher keys youll also get more avatars and demos out so itll be fine imo
And prob less time in bstance
at the end of the day dps also have a job, we just set groups up to be nuked down
I’m still not sure if pwar is tuned around dstance being a cd or not
Well, a cd without cd
well i think theyd still presume we are in bstance for our cds
On beta, with the exception of blood dk who are strong and independent, yet spiky, the tanks still need quite a bit of external healing, where as warrior is like #5 on healing taken from the healer
yeah we have a lot of heals
On bdk and Vdh i didn’t need any heal in +15s, on bear neither on +12s. Didn’t play brew
I would assume brew was #1
bdk>pal>brew>bear? for selfhealing is my guess
What I noticed more is that I get unnecessary heals because I’m not 100% hp all the time compared to war, where I’m constantly above 90 or so
brew has to be played insanely well to perform the same as other tanks with its 30 buttons hahah
Also on live rn, people try to top my bdk and just overheal and waste mana
bad healers only heal
dont worry about them
a good heal will have your victory rush and cds portraited with ability team tracker or such
same goes for bdk as a good heal tracks runepower and/or deathstrike cd
That’s kinda the point
death strike doesn't have a cd
also the amount of leech we have is disgusting
someone's been playing wrath :p
I received more heals on other tanks than war, bcs the heals sucked
Not bcs the other tanks needed it
rend plus ravager plus roar.
Might be, but never dropping low is just wrong, considering warriors opt out of quite a few defensive talents, like the new busted battle scared veteran talent
@warm plinth last time ive played bdk was in cata so shame on me hahah
Sitting in battle stance etc
I change battle stance to defensive stance when I pull 5 packs at the same time
i was able to get leech on my weapon! im just a mountain now hahah
Well I mean in general, if I do go into a pull that’s more intense, I pop wall and heal after with rush, so my hp isn’t as wonky compared to vdh and bdk
hamy you talk about 15+ or such right?
Yes
Ofc there are pulls were we drop more
But generally our hp is more steady
So we don’t get heal spikes from heals
Making us take less heal overall
exaclty
cuz i dont need wall in an m0 thats for sure hahha (im muscle memoring it on boss mechanics atm)
and enabling heal to do dmg=faster key
On my bdk I drop to 20% and heals panic, but I’m max hp in the next gcd anyway
glad ive got my friens playing heal
Dude, I was having an arguement with my friend healer that I pull too many. I almost unfriend him
Good healers will have a runic power tracker especially when BDK is meta
He almost unfriend me***
and not heal you when you have full RP
he plays heal the wrong way
teach him or unfriend haha
People don’t like pulling much atm it seems
My friends yell at me if I don't pull 3-4 packs at a time
thats crazy cuz mine pull extra hahah
Usually it is my other friends yelling at me to pull more in SL m+
now it is the opposite...
cuz they suck at cc maybe??
They indeed suck at cc
We are using the m0s to see what's reasonably manageable
Even in 20s people dont cc
an ele shaman not setting stun totem in pull
*any shaman
There's some pulls that are super shitty in m0s because they have like 30 casters or a ton of random mechanics/group damage
Tbf i forget it on my enh all the time :D
and if we try to triple them in m0 and it's shitty we know we probably can't do that in keys when they go up
happy we got so much control for packs with shockwave stormbolt and sc
The sad thing is now the casters dont focus you. Instead it is pretty random who is getting targeted
some casts are random but most of them go on highest target in threat list
Issue for me is that some casters simply don’t move, and some just cast through walls
that would be us
Like the ones in uldaman
Yeah those are mostly what I'm talking about
dps never kick casters = me mad
if we can get the mobs grouped and they're stunnable a double/triple pull is doable
I know, I am talking about the casts that go through dds though, I dont care if I got hit by a truck of casts though.
There are some casters in these dungeons that just unga bunga and don't really move
uldaman is chainlightning and stone cast which is one us but the other stone cast is aoe (stunnable mob tho)
Or have an unavoidable aoe like the storm guys in ruby and thunderclaps in uldaman
Unless I’m missing something
Also, there is a nasty cast on offensive when the spell can stun you.
stormcallers i reflect first cast and interrupt next always
The channel of the 2 big guys?
Yeah, I know we say this every expac and then find a way to make it work anyways but it definitely seems like they have put in an effort to make it really hard to do big pulls
Exactly
Mobs with tons of unavoidable group damage are the prime candidates
theyve got a cast and a channel right
Most of it is avoidable tho
2 channels if i remember, the other one looks like an explo orb
Yeah most of it is but there are some that are just straight HPS checks
and those you can obv only pull so many of before it's impossible for your healer to keep up
yep..thats why we rely so much on kicks and stuns from our mates (pwarr or not)
ofc
gotta play with premate that understand cc this expansion i feel
Once these dungeons are learned it'll be doable, this is how every expac goes
right, like neltarus endboss hahah
There is some truth in these words
Haven't done m0 Neltharus yet we are doing our other 4 tonight
but the last boss of Azure Vaults was a bitch
quite easy
beware endboss
with DH Rogue as 2 of our DPS
lol
DH Blade Dance gives them stacks of the slow
it's pretty cringe
azure vaults endboss is cracked, hate the pillars
lol
We didnt even know the mechanic and we yolo it ( All dungeons)
leap gives you 2 stacks at max range
Yeah that's what we're doing too, I was the only one that had beta out of our group and I only did 3-4 keys on it
thats how we roll aswell
man the times we live in are crazy, might also just be a crazy mofo
Dude, On the last boss of neltharus. I saw it dropped coins. Because I am in such broke state. I tried to loot in the middle of the fight, only to be disappointed it wasnt gold coins.

did the boss like 3 times because people did not get that they could pick up the coinpiles before the boss even uses his shield
but that phase is just asking you to use commanding shout👍
For mythics are you guys Roar and the 15% bleed or shockwave?
roar
Finally 380 ilvl
Tbh I need to take note on which bosses summon adds so I can save roar and ravager for those times
I have a question. Can you unlock the warglaive transmog of Wrathion even if you aren't a demonhunter and the ensemble of sabellian even if you aren't a cloth wearer? Not sure what would be better to take on warrior.
dont want to farm rep for a faction that i cant even unlock everything on
I run both? lol
no, you can't unlock the warglaive transmog or a cloth collection if you aren't a cloth wearer
not sure if dropping the sidearm procs and replacing it with cd on the roar is better
oh rip you're right
You already using the 11
then yeah, I think this is probably what I'll run for now, it's really a choice between roar CD and the aoe stun (at all)
I find myself with an abundance of rage at all times, so I'm a fan
I also run shield charge (with champion's bulwark), and ravager, and booming voice, so really, overabundance of rage
I’m thinking higher keys I don’t think it will be a good talent pick, need to spend rage more on IP refreshes
that's fair, I'll see when we get there
I feel I do enough aoe damn without it
anyone knows why this macro doesnt work?
/cast [mod:alt] Storm bolt; Shockwave
And UF clap revenge combo feels better/ more longevity to it
sure, but defensiveness is the thing that has diminishing returns, damage does not
so it's a matter of figuring out where's the point of "just enough defense"
try typing Storm Bolt instead of Storm bolt
but I don't use that type of macro so not sure honestly
Correct
Do you guys & gals feel like 'we' need defensive trinkets? It's hard to tell right now, since nothing really does damage
And UF clap revenge combo feels better/ more longevity to it 5 lines before 😛
nevermind, i'll ask later again
5
And the answer depends on how you play
Some people might need earlier than others
Sense might need at 25s
I would peob need at 20s
It doesn't answer my question, in my opinion. I don't ask for 'now', i asked for the future (although i could've been more precise). And since people have been doing Keys & raid on beta, a bit of insight could help
And the answer is for the future
It depends on player skill
I could tell you dont need anything for 20s
Then you go and have problems
Or you dont and i was right by pure luck
you probably dont need them for the majority of content but u might wanna have that safety blanket for if u fuck up / something to help enable more comfort on dangerous parts
How did y’all farm cobalt rep so fast even after the nerf? I feel like it’s taking me forever
Next to the Vendor is a Cobalt Drake (4 legged one), that gives you a talent tree of sorts
Guys is there any weakaura or extra addon for MDT that shows what you should pull on the nameplates of the mobs? Just started tanking so i wanna get a hang of the routes, i know i wont need it in the future but just in the meanwhile
at 2/5 Rep, you can chose a talent that gives you +30% more rep
took me an hour to get from 2/5 to 4/5
I have that, still the rep drops seem few and far inbetween
I just got 2/5 but even that seemed like it was two hours
So a 6 hour grind altogether maybe? Idk how nimchip said he did it all in an hour
6?
Nah, I did it post "drop" nerf, and took like little over an hour
The boss also drops rep, so kill it whenever it is up
I had someone in private discord do it in less than 1h30
So no idea where that 6h came from
How tf??? Any tips?
empty shard, mass pulls & kill the boss every now an then
Okay I’ll try
And use the bomb elementals to kill other trash
if you have an empty (or close to empty) shard, make sure to visit the circled spot, many mobs there, and often groups don't go there
I just went there, cleared all, then flew to main area to kill while waiting for respawns
defensive trinekts wont decide whether you live or die for the absolute majority of players and content
And underneath the main area down the steps, about 8-10 mobs just sitting there waiting to be killed and no one touches them for some reason
Is it normal to have a world quest give a 2hd when my loot pref is set to protection 😦
Yes
Should you be exclusively using troar during demo shout?
I'd think you'd wanna use it with avatar, but not sure if demo should be prioirtized as well
i'd think you'd wanna hold shield charge for demo though
being its our hardest hitting ability by miles
No hold
If you hold 3 times in 5
You might lose 1 use
And that use is better than lining cds
execute questions boys - if were in execute phase with no major damage incoming is it better to re up shield block for shield slam damage or use that extra rage for juicier executes (single target ofc)
execute
Hello guys! Will darkmoon trinkets be good for us
no the darkmoon trinkets are shit
shield block
line 2 of the opener guide on wowhead says "Use Avatar, Taunt, and Shield Block before you are in melee range."
how important is taunt here? i dont think i can pull this off without significantly changing my keybinds (during a charge)
I dont think the taunt is massively important personally. But it depends.
The taunt probably doesnt need to happen immediately.
sry guys, a decent gear level to start tanking M0?
taunt is off gcd so you can always taunt
310-320 is more than fine
In packs of mob i just aoe my in and save taunt if something gets away from me
i simply mean the binds are too awkward to hit 4 different binds before charge lands
Lvling gear
My way in
thanks bozo
How do you farm Primal Chaos the fastest?
you can have an Avatar/taunt/SB macro
nice one, might be better than having to learn new binds. thanks.
you might have to press it twice tho
yeah i do but its good. charge > macro > macro > demo shout is doable
taunt is so you get threat 100% on the boss
there are way too many tanks out there who taunt use taunt when they pull a boss
I guess that’s different on a raidboss where those pyros are already in the air on 1 and M+ where you likely are a global ahead anyway
haste/master or crit/vers neck?
#showtooltip
/cast Avatar
/cast Thunderous Roar
/cast {@heavy mirage]Ravager
Any way to get that to work?
how fast is it to get to valdrakken renown 22 for the helm?
@vale sorrel I don't think that can work because you have two abilities on the gcd in that macro
could you do a cast seq for those 2?
gonna change my name to "Cursor" in the WA discord and roll in pings
and not 100% sure about castsequence the avatar might throw it off but I think that might actually work. Not sure you want avatar in there though as the avatar CD is way faster than TR and ravager
Do we never think about show of force in our rotation? I mean do we ever use Revenge before Thunder clap to boost it?
Crit/vers for damage
Haste for feel good
Critical is also a good option given how good our leech is
is there a flying path toy for dragonflight for alts?
No but the glyph unlocks are account wide
Limited?
If you unlock everything
You can go from 1 side to the other without landing
Ever
i can talk to flying master and go watch birds on the street. with dragon i have to do something
already high af
isnt like it lands if i dont do shit ?
No?
If i get high enough altitude
And point towards where i want to go
I can afk
For like 2m
Before i end up dead to fatigue

2m might be a bit too much
Its more like 5 from 1 corner to the other
the integrated primal fire trinket hurts like a truck and for what
crit 200k just like that
which trinket?
Integrated primal fire
i mean im sure its not good but im still not 70
either way it one shots 200k hp mobs so
im not complaining
its literally one of the best trinkets in the game
o
well then
i mean yeah it seems stupid op
just weird that its a random ass low ilvl trinket
nerfed on day1 i bet.
thats what happens if you barely do testing on beta
and let players only play with raid/dungeon trinkets
idk who saw this and thought it was fine to begin with
just reading the trinket
you can tell
where is this demonic trinket from
some rare in azure span i think
rare
a random fire elemental in azre span
but its a 1 time drop i think? could be wrong
I am trying to make a marco with Shield Charge and Charge in 1 button. Kinda like Intervene + charge in 1 button. Anyone have any macro suggestion or is the general idea not really good ? 🙂
not good
it is a bad idea
how it is a bad idea?
only one will go off but both will go on cd
crap 😐
ah yes
Yeah so you just put shield charge first
you dont want SC to be used first tho
You wanna line dmg buffs with SC
charge will cancel out shield charge
It does more then just a charge
True which is why I wouldn’t do this but you can do it
You can do alot of stuff, doesnt mean they are good?
thanks for the quick reply btw 🙂
If someone is looking to reduce buttons or something it can be done. Not everyone is here trying to time 25s
Then you can macro Last Stand and Shield Wall as a panic button aswell
anyone also play guardian druid? It's crazy the difference in talent trees. Prot warrior feels so fun with new abilities and impactful talents. Guardian feels straight up like they went through pruning. And it's not like guardian was known for being complex...
Wont be good, but you reduce buttons
What
yes warrior has in general the best talent tree in the game
What does that have to do with keys done
Might be off topic for this room but has anyone had issues with the Dungeon Hero meta achievement for the snail mount Shelleck? My team has every achievement except for the one in Uldaman. You can’t miss a single orb stack and it appears to be damn near impossible… too many orbs by the second intermission.
Relevance? I main a prot warrior 😂
But honestly… I think you’re right. However that requires 175K dps for the entire group.
unironically that might be the answer. Just wait for raid gear to do it.
If you want to kill before second intermission.
I wanted that mount week 1. Super bummed that I’m gated by an extreme DPS check.
Any easy replace to get for helm/chest/waist/boots? 😦
Cobalt dps ring and fire trinket from azure spam should do it
bloody token gear.
its quick to get?
this any good for tanking?
I dunno someone told all tanks want BSS?
Or craft a piece of spark gear
i just got the crafting recipe for the Shield of the Hearth, worth while? verse proc but the secondary stats are ass
btw I have a dragon shard of knowledge is it good?
Gives you knowledge. Turn in the dude in the cave by the plains main base.
Just west of it in a cave
I have no profession right now tho except mining/herb which i'll change I guess
since income is bad anyway
Up to you! I went alchemy/engineering and my alt has herb and mining.
Dumped 40 points into engineering for S.A.V.I.O.R.
Get a piece of crafted gear too
herb/mining is actually a decent pace for levelling an alt and the obvious benefit is you get to go from 60-70 just farming
how much is it gonna cost me ?
@strong forum that ignore pain bug with the talent, has it been confirmed it's a bug and not intended?
what's teh bug?
if you hit your ignore pain cap then brutal vitality stops working
Pins
the pins doesn't answer my question
Depends which piece you want to wear
I think he meant me lol
Answered the other guy
ah
What embelishments do you guys plan on running? I was thinking the Armour Spikes + something else.
I see
Guys I have done every content in dragonflight?
And blizzard has never mentioned the bug
is that a question
What’s your renown at?
Play league
You’re pretty good, go touch grass now you’ve earned it
I have done all expendition flags
what makes you think it would be intended
I cant increase my enchant skill because mats are expensive af
having a thing to stop working when you reach max until you lose the buff again is a bit weird
I've done heroics, m0 and crafted a shield with some world quest. None of the farms done.
no main reason just wanted to know if blizz have acknowledged it in anyway
does the bug persist
if you refresh ignore pain
or does ignore pain have to completely fall off
Rextroy fixed unnerving focus he can fix this too
It has been reported to them for over a month and as they said themselves in the Preach interview they see all the feedback even if they don’t act on it right away.
If only one handed fury could wield 4 weapons
Many bug fixes get rolled out without any comments whatsoever.
is Gral's discarded tooth just a WQ drop?
completely fall off
ah in that case then yeah defo fucked
Anyone have a list of all the utility (dispells etc) that's needed for the M+? Preferably with a list of who can spec into it
Wish I could downvote that
They even have bleed dispel
Just a long cd for their dispel
Only think evoker cant is disease iirc
Obviously the solution is a 5 prot warrior group
wait what, i didnt see this. The ruby whelp has a 24 hour cooldown? What does it do :S
Which may actually be feasable
Which shield is everyone crafting?
They can remove diseases as well.
I cheaped out on the molten, cost 4k.
opinions please- Is it a waste to go JC kinda want to but engi is always so useful
Eng is the only profession that has combat usefulness
Hey is shield of the hearth worth crafting? Got the recipe today.
How long is a rope?
as long as you want it to be?
Then the shield is as worth crafting as you want it to be.
lol thanks
☣️
Its low versa proc, cant remember the ppm but it was low. It costs more than 6 times its other option.
Only you can decide if its worth it
what's the other option? just the normal Primal shield?
ye
armor spikes is a scam tho go for other embelish imo
Couple questions:
- Do we avoid Uproar capstone because it desyncs it from SC? Doesn't uproar sync up better with BoomingV? Netting more overall damage?
- How come everyone stopped using Barbaric training? What was the reason/why is it bad?
- Wasn't sidearm garbage? Why is it good? Buffed?
- How bad is "Storm of steel" capstone for ravager? Doesn't it mean you'll essentially have it up for every pack vs just one? It's still worse because the 40% reduction? Should probably bufff/ nerf(????) it down to 25%, Seens like it would be a good trade off for my scenario. But obvs wanna hear how you pro's and bro's views all of this 🙂
- How is show of thunder vs bloodsurge?
- Is champions bulwark really worth it? Pretty low dmg abilitiy, also feel a slight sense off overvaliued due to many small things on the tooltip for rage ecnomy and SB uptime, which we dont really struggle with? Specially not if taken bolster?
Uproar is alright for damage, you can't pick it because you want shockwave
We stopped using barbaric because of bloodsurge nerf
Sidearm changed position so it's free dmg pickup
Btoh ravager talents are useless, you reduce your dmg of it and get less rage gen than picking up instigate
Bulwark grants more rage gen, dmg and SB uptime than bolster
☝️
Idk what show of thunder vs bloodsurge means
show of force maybe? but that doesnt make sense
Thank you a lot for clearing that up but do we really want shockwave? I sorta feel its bit redundant atm
100%must pick for m-
it redundant atm because we dont need it when u start pushing u will
ye show of force. Was checking the pins, comparing builds and trying to adapt it into what I prefer but without being "bad" if that makes sense?
Not having that aoe stop is really bad in m+
You probably checked the St build
Since in m+ you play both sof and bloodsurge
If i really really wanted uproar, what would you sacrifice for it?
Shockwave
This is sorta the build i would "prefer" playing with for lack of better word.
And its essentially shockwave ruining it for me?

I dunno. BSV just feels like a proper warrior thing xD
Yeah especially when its bugged
it is :x
Why punish so important though? for the 9% dr? It doesn't look THAT important?
And then you have people salivate over 3% vers
When punish is 18% vers
LOL
It's not just the on average 9% DR
It's also a good dmg buff
I've already hit over 110k shield slams in m0
I'm doing already over 20k st dps
i wouldnt waste 2 points on 30 more rage either
its a temporary thing, view it as training wheels for me.
hes gunna have no rage with barbaric tho
I took barbaric because i constantly overcap
You can get it, but you can only check once a day. You'll hear a roar going in if it's up.
if you rEALLY want it, make multiple warriors and park em at the cave.
what 😮
My ST is pathetically low but I know i'm bad at pressing SS. I'd say i'm wasting a good 40% casts due to pressing smt else or "missing" a proc.
Is that basically it? Don't miss SS and it'll sort itself out?
My aoe is pretty solid and I know what I'm doing wrong there but ST, not so sure.
Haven't really looked much but think i'm half of you on a good day, which is not good enough 😦
Wonder if rio has been logging the m0, lemme check
it has, gimme a sec
This always make me feel so insecure ugh...but here we go, i can take it, i have anxiety meds next to me xD

Its 3-4 dungeons. Had constant DC's yd so logs split i think.
Can you check a boss fight vs just trash? Because I knowingly ignore ss for rev/tc spam.
yeh, the disconnects ruined it. I can run something today and make it better, np.
Just because its aoe
just log a target dumbbies
You dont ignore ss
I thought if I can sustain rage with bloodsurge it was better?

I did ask that question and it was said to be ok xD
Depends who answered
Cant remember, was a couple days ago.
I seem to average about 55 cpm, isn't that incredibly low?
Or did it change a ton from SL?
im ready to replace this M+ week 1
joocy.
no it changed with the BS nerf
that was low of SLs
how goods that embellish?
What should you been doing now?
No clue
after armor spikes im not convinced any of them will make me happy besides the pot extender
seems like dog shit so far
ahh. I'm horrible at keeping up to date with such things. Im getting to old lol.
renown 25 with centaur , now to work on dragoncale
feels like it should be around 60-65ish overal l in a dungeon
ohh okok. So its decent and I know the missing are from me freezing up in encounters because its new and a lot of shit going on.
@strong forum Could I please see your build with both battering and champions? 😄
I can't figure out what you're not taking 😦
Prob in pins
I don't have TL, bsv and unnerving focus
Damn the proc is that good?
No, it's the ilvl
