90% DR
Literally are unkillable now
not broken at all
dying is an offense
if you die as prot, you must delete your character
If I die while I am getting feared all the time?
Idk how u can play prot ans think "dang I wish I had more defensive tools"
thats ok, the other players/mobs were simply abusing
Also, please find a better meme. It gets old.
Legion the age of "we're either full HP or the boss wiped out face with a planet"
imagine not having zerker rage
Find DPS who kick
imagine not having gifs just open
lfg one rogue that can use one of their gazillion CC abilities
Literally
@jagged pier just for you

world quest
does it trigger if i dont jump?
Hows everyone enjoying df so far? My gpu in for rma so i missed launch 
/cast [stance:2]!Defensive Stance;[known:Battle Stance]!Battle Stance;[known:Berserker Stance]!Berserker Stance``` this worked for me just moved the Dstance to the start


What crafted piece are most of you making on your prot wars?
I feel you, I had the amazing idea of upgrading on launch day and the new board was too big for my case and I didn't realize it until the PC shops were closed, then the cooler I had picked up was faulty....
I feel for you bro, that was my exact SL launch. GPU fried 2-3 weeks into castle.
It's been a pretty good launch, you haven't really missed much tbh.
and the good thing about df is that u dont miss a single thing u are not forced to grind anything unless the content u actually enjoy
Sounds good, ive burned out every expansion since legion entirely because of the grinds, surprisingly lasted the longest in shadowlands, since got to end of sod tier before dropping it. Hopefully df can keep me if i can actually just play content enjoy
crazy how good damage ravager does now
There really isn't any big grinds. You have 1 for an easy ring that takes about 2 hours but rest of it is optional if you only care about player power.
I'm not doing ANY of the grinds, I jus don't care. I'll do it when they release catchup shit for it OR if they add some rewards to it.
It really is just a raid log expo. I've even had so much "time over" i'm almost done lvling my first alt.
And about burnout? Didn't even play yesterday because there's nothing todo. I just casually played the alt, did some mining, some exploring and just i dunno, sound weird to say I enjoyed my time but yeh, i do.
I mean season hasn't started so once you've done your m0s and expeditions
You're done for the week more or less
There's dailies and whatnot but there doesn't seem to be much "required" grinds
Ya i dont mind lack of comtent tbh i played nearly nonstop withe exceptions of real life shit preventing me from banilla through beginning of legion, the borrowed power systems and chore lists is what finally caused burnout, so i welcome a return of less chores
no it doesnt
Wdym it doesn't?
it can save u a couple of hours if u are a WF raider
but grinding mobs for several hours to get 5 ilvl more
Day one of season if I can grab a 380ilvl dps over a 350 one I will
when u toss all that loot into the bin
That's still a leg up
is borderline
If you have a good team or a guild? It doesn't really matter but the rest of your guild will look at you funny.
if all you do is pug? Like me? You're either gonna make your own groups or not get invited without doing the work.
Playing a tank is a leg up in and of itself with regards to m+
But yeah once we start swimming in gear it'll equalise
Football trinket?
Academy?
yeah the academy footbal trinket
Guys, any spreadsheet for abilities that can be spell reflected?
in pins
updated for DF
not yet
thanks
Ah is it updateD?
dunno bout that
dunno was asking, have to check it a sec
seems to be updated
?
If you don't make a macro for that trinket that plays a sound clip of "E. A. Sports. It's in the game." then you're doing it wrong
true lol
It's updated; it's just not complete yet.
ok
A question about crafting can we re add a spark later or we need it on the base shield?
how would you like people to test if abilities are spell blockable in a dungeon that doesnt exist yet?
True, it didnt exist back in legion. Kewk
zzzzzzzz]
REEEEEEEEEEEE
You will notice that there are...answers on the sheet
The question marks are for spell block, which didn't exist in Legion when that dungeon was a thing.
But... You can go and do Court of Stars? Or it isnt allowed yet due to maintanance?
I mean you can, but you're doing it on Legion level which means everything dies in one hit
You're more than welcome to go do it yourself though if you feel like it and DM logs/evidence to Sense and he'll gladly update the sheet.
what are good professions on a tank warrior ? will most likely only play m+
Gosh, I cant open wow since I am banned for 1 week. A solution is to play a 40 lvl warrior.
He does it out of the goodness of his heart so he generally updates the sheet as he does the content himself. He doesn't really go out of his way to do it.
I am not arguing Sense diligence, which I admire about it.
No I'm just saying that he's fine with others finding the evidence
I sent him proof of a few that were still in question toward the end of SL and he was thankful and updated the sheet
Sense is just a nice guy for doing the reflect sheet
True, quite a guy.
I had some engineer bracers made (I'm an engineer, just haven't had luck with the recipes yet) that and my bracers were the lowest ilvl piece I had (still leveling green, never dropped anything from heroic or mythic dungeons)
I noticed that the general spell block and improved spell block are two different abilities
Ogspell block can reflect hammer of justice the new one can’t
Ive yet to talent into spell block lol
Where can i snatch that lovely reflect sheet? 
One is spell reflection and one is spell block. They have two completely different functions
Third-ish pin in this channel
👍
How trash is this huntresses arrow trinket? Seems pretty meh with the mastery proc…..
so anymore test on Brutal Vitality vs Fueled by Violence after the reset for duns?
I was tired and went to bed when I saw someone mention it here but, do we, or don't we use Barbaric Training?
I've defaulted to using it, but I seem to recall someone saying not to
Depends on the content you're doing.
If you feel like your capping rage take it
If you're capping you aren't spending it.
Literally have a off gcd rage dump
Ya like unnecessary ignore pains or take barbaric
No ip is unnecessary
You can spend rage faster than you build it, even without Overwhelming, but Overwhelming can enable more favorable rotational play since you aren't worrying about wasting rage.
I use barbaric I feel like I have plenty of rage
From what I recall, it was dropped since they nerfed Bloodsurge output, so it made using it less favorable.
The more challenging content you get, the more you're gonna be pressing IP to stabilize your damage intake.
Didn't wanna spark a discussion, I've been feeling totally fine with rage in dungeons, so I'll keep using it, not immediately sure what to take in it's place anyway
And that'll shift you out of Barbaric since you could fuck yourself by overspending.
The point is, generally we don't have enough rage gen to comfortably play with barbaric training. You'll run yourself dry more often than not
especially true in ST or low target situations
Perspective, barbaric training is a 50% cost increase for a 25% increase in damage
It's a bad trade
We liked Barbaric because Bloodsurge fed us actual deluges of rage.
That
And yeah, it just makes revenge alot less efficient of a button
Would that point go into 1 point of overwhelming rage then in stead? Can't pinpoint another talent there that looks good
Now it's giving us a lot, but it's less than before.
It was fine to play in SL and early beta because our rage gen was alot higher
Bounding Stride.
Already have that, might take Int Shout for the extra stop in keys?
Yes.
You want Bolt, Shockwave, and Intim.
More interrupts/CC is generally better - especially in PUGs since those mouthbreathers will spec full damage.
To get shockwave (which I plan to, for keys), we drop the cdr on roar right?
Aren't you gonna Dr stuns with all that kit?
Yes. You don't need Uproar in M+ because you want to pull big enough that you use it appropriately.
Just because you have the stuns doesn't mean you should use them on CD
☝️
So no, you're not gonna Dr stuns like mad
The only real DR you'll hit the most is probably Shield Charge + Shockwave.
And that's only on your primary target.
Like this then yeah?
Ye
the shieldcharge stun is a ST dr tho right? so it shouldnt collide with shockwave in terms of making a target immune immediately
Read slower.
☝️
DR is DR I don't get what you're talking about.
Nobody said it was going to immune anything with that combo.
iirc dr applies after 2 stuns
It's just the most common DR overlap you'll see.
but the 2 stuns have to be either ST or aoe
Uggg just realized I need to drop something to pick up intim shout
Why do i all of suden dont see a single backpack/ pile of dirt ?
Pretty sure AOE vs. ST has no bearing. Unless they're treating PVP DR separately from PVE DR, using ShW after HOJ makes your ShW last for almost no time at all, it's just a pseudo-kick.
from bfa i remember i could shockwave - > war stomp -> stormbolt
Yes 3 stuns then immune
but i couldnt shockwave -> leg sweep -> war stomp for example
no after the SB u should be able to have one more stun
st
if im not tripping
Worth testing after realms come back up, I guess, but it's not the most critical thing.
Can I ask a macro question here, or rather in the #ui-addons-manager channel?
It's full duration, half duration quarter duration then immune
You might be remembering that warbringer wasn't a dr stun
its 100% - 50% - 25% - 0% of max duration, yeah malakar had it
In Legion
The 4th stun is immune
They nerfed it
Realy ? Did they at least boost chance for cosmetics ??
Like i see why they nerfed it for rep farms , but maaan i just want my flail
you can ask here
I've always used focus interrupt macros on all of my chars, like this:
/cast [@focus, exists, harm] Pummel; Pummel```
It'll kick the focus if it exists, and otherwise it'll kick my target.
Now I want to add a shift modifier to it, so that I can use that same button for my stun, like this:
```#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Storm Bolt; Pummel```
But, how on earth do I combine the "focus interaction" with the "modifier interaction"?
the storm bolt doesn't have to be on my focus, but I wanna have the "focus interaction" when just using the button, but I want to storm bolt my target when I "shift"
focus is mainly important for my kicks, so I can for instance storm bolt my current target, and at the same time keep track of my focus target for a kick
Honestly yeah I'd just make a new keybind thats sshift + button
Instead of trying to make it into 1 macro
it's macros like that that keep me lazy 😄
But they have the same effect
fair enough though, now to find an extra keybind
As 2 buttons
but i think you can do /cast [mod:shift] sb; [@focus, exists, harm] pummel
hmm 35k overall in a HC 🤔
1 is non-shift, 1 is with shift
12 button mouse means I can just keep adding buttons
I have a 12 button mouse, but I can't find bigger hands to buy 
That's a bit low for revenge and SS
Press more revenge
Both of them should be above rend
ye i didnt do a lot of revenj
in AOE Avatar i just do TC -> Revenj -> TC rotation
was trying that out to see how it felt
Did you just have a massive pull that lived forever?
What does prot warrior wanna craft with their Spark? the shield?
it was HC, so nothing lived at all
O Yea tc and rend do alot of your damage in "Press w" mode
ye
had mage doing big dmg, so bosses were literally 10 seconds 😄
did anyone else than Paladin gain CR this patch?
and only evoker gained lust right?
and no new soothe or purge?
Sounds right
or can Evoker soothe or purge?
Evoke has purge I think
so like this looking good for M+ planning?
any public routes anywhere yet?
HR
gotta git that block brother
you can ITF+Bolster if you want
but you have to give up Tough as Nails
so its ITF+Bolster vs HR+Nails
im lovin tough as nails
so go HR
But somehow I have bolster + HR + nails atm
block go brrr
ah, then i guess that also works
not sure what you left out
maybe Punish?
:sad:
So how significant does the brutal vitaliy nerf look?
no avatar 😮
may get ravager instead boom/violent
something usually recommended is something like this
lmk if you have any questions
but you have no Avatar, which is kinda sadge
u must be cleavin hard lmao
any warrior build without avatar is sadge
and no Anger Management, that is huge red flag
Blood bourne is an underperforming talent; BSV straight does nothing in its current state Bolster also doesnt do much with Enduring and HR
Not worth thinking about
he had bolster with ITF just a sec ago tho
Only talents I actually cared about are the ones giving strength, armor, stamina and health tbf
but now I think maybe a 2nd dmg dealing build would work
why if i may ask?
Hobbling yourself without am
I pull all thrash to the next boss in a corner and my healer dies
AM is our entire thing
so you didnt do enough dps
more dps then healer wont die
Welcome to being a tank in df
if stuff is dead, it cannot kill you
you're actively harming your defensive capability with some of these choices tbh
^
Do you mean in the current content or in BSV's current form?
Bsv doesn't bracket
It procs pre mitigation I think is what I heard
Greatly reduces it's value
it does, but essentially means you get more out of the talent not less
hence I was curious what he meant by that statement
Wait doesn't prot defensives feed off of its offensive capabilities?
obviously not in M0 dungeons
Like the more bleeds you have running the more rage and hps you have
Kinda
you use 2 points for something with abt as much value as 1 point in nails, ref bloodborne
Right so it's all about spending rage
both tbh
but mostly the bug
procing pre mitigation is akin to not having a talent
in actual content the bug means it procs all the time pretty much
MORE TRINKETS AAAAAAAAAAA
TaN provides no survivability though
hmm shield charge rage is also big
ngl every single omission ignores major considerations to the rage economy
Anyone got a good tanking plater setup to share ?
I can get rid of bloodbourne completley to get 2 more points ahead
Avatar also gives fuck tons of rage
i also sorta minimized my buttons to click
exactly what i need 80% DR on white damage from trash i can block :^)
Passing on avatar seems like a dumb move though
not this, but just the insane defensive from IO, or the insane dmg from UF
also now that we're talking about talents, are we swapping to fueled by violence or sticking with brutal vitality
In cleave scenarios I usually get to spam ignore pain without fall off tho cuz the bleed rage regen
you dont really need to worry about IP falloff
IP is just something we press to not overcap rage
BV still probably better w/ teir set. without it doesnt really matter tbh
your main goal is to keep shield block up, and do dmg
I wish IP amount stacked without limits T^T
Why
idk funsies
If there was no cap to IP, prot would be op bar none
This is the never surrender argument, it can be a 100000000 pool but it will still only absorb 55%
u can generate more rage and not have to worry about how much it stacks to :^)
tbf I sometimes click it just to trigger Indomitable
I mean you're gonna want to have it on higher keys
Now add anger management and you'll be getting warmer
You'll get clapped
lemme see if I can add avatar for funsies
IP manages itself from managing your rage properly, thats why you shouldnt have to consider it as heavily as block uptime*
Dude probably takes the tires off his car because driving on the rims sounds better
even better I run to destinations
interesting, I've been trying to keep large IP rolling, probably at the sacrifice of DPS; Haven't tanked since Cata trying to find my stride
work is a 15 min jog
look at all that passive DR!
Roleplay walks in his socks
But you're still popping it every now and then, like actively not using it just because will get you killed
IP manages itself from managing your rage properly.
I don't understand what you're trying to say, soz for being dumb
usually maintain 30k hps
just replace this with "Large Shield block rolling" and your gucci my guy
feel more like a blood dk ngl
I spam IP because at 5+ mobs I'm swimming in rage
Essentially, if you're managing your rage correctly you need to spend rage before you cap on it
shieldblock is a boolean value and its not feasible to only empty with revenge
so you IP to make room for more rage gen
this gives you healing with indom and CDR with AM
Okay gotcha
even with 30 revenge cost it's not feasible
which gives you more avatar/SW -> more rage gen-> more everything etc
50s sw feels giggles
very much is in lower target count situations, especially if/when you do content that hurts where you have to spam IP for defensive reasons also
is there a website with M+ routes yet? 🤔
Idk what this is trying to mean, it only procd on CD twice of all the times
or do we just yolo the first week routes?
Without the actual log the screenshot means nothing
I'm going to just yolo
I doubt any routes will be much more than efficient W holding for the first week
well fair, seeing as such content is not available in game yet, I can't really speak to that at all 😛 have not played beta
was showing bull it essentially just procced on CD now as he was saying it was no value with the bug
Didn't seem like the route were all that complicated
How are you dropping to low hp
I still think it has no value
Except it didn't, of the 6 procd it was only on CD twice
was a 19 fort on beta?
and with the bug it procs without you dropping low on hp, given pre mitigation (which was the point of the discussion)
Fun
I mean pre-mitigatation proc is always better
That way it can save you from a death if something would kill you
what we mean is you can proc BSV in its current state with your HP never dropping below 80%
its not like you get to 30% and then it DR's the rest of the hit below that
That means something hit you for like 190k
So it is proccing off raw damage
just gem stamina
Quite the bug
Ew
Pretty sure that's it's intended interactions
look at those unmitigated numbers
Yea so the very first one, you don't use a CD on and treat BSV as a CD
but why would you want that if your not taking actual damage since you have SB IP and Demo up. you would prefer to have it up for an actual attack that drops you to 30% right?
If you know it's going to proc of a specific spell/mob you just treat it as your Opening CD
You guys are calling a skill check a bug
It's wild
I'm calling a cheat death that isn't cheating death a bug yeah
It actually isn't a cheat death
have you even read the talent?
It doesn't proc on death
Holy shit
literally says 'when you health is brough below 30%' and I am telling you it procs with your health never going below 80% @ionic roost
arguing its not bugged it just....
it will proc at inopprotune times so you cant ever actually rely on it since it procs before mitigation
DK Will of the Necropolis is a cheat death 
Whatever man have fun with it while you can
thing is, if you have 31% and then you get hit for 32% of your HP
it wont proc
it's not a cheat death
do we even know that in its current state though
ok so its a health based DR then not a "cheat Death" i think its understood what he meant with Cheat death but nit picking is understandable as well
Rework: procs 50% dr aoe shield wall
people just call is a cheat death when they actually mean pseudo cheat given how infrequent we should drop to 30% hp and the thinking it will save you then
I mean the point of that talent is to mitigate enough of damage that you don't get one tapped from full health, since we're designed to mitigate damage and not eat it like a dh or dk does
That's not how it works though, even when not bugged
how "weaker" is immovable object shield wall?
Well that sucks
It's shorter duration agmius
we don't know if that is intended or not either though.
Since it's a carbon copy of wotn it should bracket damage and afaik it doesn't
yeah thats my point
it might be bugged in that way as well
as you say and I agree it should work exactly like wotn
(pre-mitigatation btw)
it should also leave a debuff after it procs like purg does
so many issues with it atm
I mean right now there is no way you can see when it has proc'ed or is on CD
I have a WA that gives me an 'oh no' sound when it procs but thats abt it
so, what's the consensus on the BV nerf today?
0 impact for 99% of people
Was the bv bug fixed?
servers are still down
our aoe burst and general damage is so nuts this xpac the hell
ravager doing loads of damage, roar, SC, shockwave even
and seismic on top of that
it's pretty nutty for sure
i dont think till be as nutty because we wont be able to pull as big in +
Going to assume no
Hello guys, new warrior here making it as my second tank after BDK, what i dont know at all is whether we want to use execute like ever? in M+ i dont care about OT dmg parsing in raids
ok 😄
I assume execute roation is If Rage > 40 - execute, ELSE use shield slam>thunderclap?
Uh
But on st you execute when everything is on cd
hm prot pallies, DKs, and Warriors now have same maximum stamina increase %
The hell we will, gimme them double pulms
Except we need to pick 3 talents for it
not for bdk
Are you coming from wotlk
or Guardian druiid
Blood historically has the highest stamina of any tank
Doesn’t mean they are the best
or warrior since half our self healing is HP based
Blood dk only needs enough stamina to not get globalled
we basically heal 2% of our max health every GCD
Tank-specialized characters now generate 650% additional threat (was 550%).
Developers' note: We've heard feedback that on-pull burst in dungeon content is causing damage dealers to pull threat more often than is desirable. This change represents roughly a 15% increase to tank threat generation, which should help alleviate these cases, while still requiring tanks to actively engage with packs to hold threat.
Literally not how tanking works
yeah stamina doesnt mean its best, but BDK benefits from large HP the most since u use the dmg u take as heal
i am okay with this
Mitigate more with a smaller pool
Is better than mitigate less with a larger pool
Because now every HOT your healer pumps into you is more effective
That's also not how math works
what is this healer u refer to
Mitigation is effectively a healing increase
half you say?
If a healer heals 2k hps, and you have 50% mitigation, the opponent needs to deal 4k dps to out damage the heal
I sustain 30k HPS
I mean, the "Hot becomes more efficient at lower HP pools"
Hots becomes more efficient with better mitigation
The HoT is equal effectiveness regardless of health pool
where is the trade off between stamina and mitigation
Fueled by violence buff and brutal vitality nerf changing anything for you guys?
nope
There isn't, its just that stacking HP is a meaningless exercise
Sometimes in large pulls Fueled by Violance is 20% of my self heals
So it does for cleave
Stamina flask does so much for us for sure
But your build is crap Agmius
if you changed your build you'd just never need FBV because you're at max HP
wondering if 4pc tier bonus will make taking fueled by violence > brutal vitality
which is really where fbv fails, it does nothing at max HP
The 4 pc makes bv better hypothetically
if anything tier makes BV better
Think the point he’s trying to make is that hp exists but you’d never needed more than what passively comes on gear. We take ilvl for main stat and secondaries, not stam.
that particular talent point isn't even worth the brainpower you guys are spending on it
If you remain max HP u didnt pull enough packs kekw
no concerns about BV + tier bonus just overcapping IP too often?
IP is a rage dump
Until wall falls off and you keel over
capping it means nothing
The biggest thing Either FBV and BV do is unlock tough as nails/bolster/punish
oof
do yall think double tanking will make sense for Brackenhide Hollow?
DPS cleave less anyway
which dps lol
Could be
I think 5 tanking will be the way to clear 20s on week 1
kekw
Tanks doing brazy damage currently
Because that's what I'm going to be doing
ive been asking my homies to roll a tank for 2 tanking
why not lmao have 1 warr and 4 guardian dudus
any proper dps player will do way more than a tank will, you just play with shit players if you are at the top
^
any proper dps player will roll tank
wat
wat
Gengi tank reroller
any proper player will roll tank*
wat
it has and always will be the least desirable role to play
what
dps and healers are literlaly support roles
they just make it faster
they dont allow it
ye
so much this
That’s me
Also why am I gonna allow a pug to terrorize a key
When I can do it myself
5head mele dps players make good tanks tho
i started tanking in wotlk cuz instant queues were beatiful
as time went on I realized DPS and Healers are optional
they should just start the instance instead make tanks wait addiitonal seconds
why even ask dps if they mean to enter the instance\
My favorite question in the last week
when tank clicks enter instance the dungeon should start
"Can you slow down enough for me to res?"
lmao tru
"Why, they're literally going to die again"
TRUUU
in optimal pulls DPS and Healers will be dead
which is as far as you can pull to the boss
the servers are gonna crash

How does the Brutal Vitality / Fueled by Violence affect us? do we now run Fueled by Violence?
I've been running Brutal
so true, ended up finishing off far too many packs/bosses this past week as DPS die to stupid shit on the ground and missed kicks
would still recommend going with BV
going to be worse once m+ is here
Either doesn’t matter
I usually skull mark the mob that needs to be interrupted
Sometimes causes the DPS instincts to kick in
atleast when dps is on them. I can interrupt another mob
xd
kekw
skull means the last target to die
true
Thanks. I might try out FbV but most likely return to BV afterwards
skull is like ants spitting phermones on their target to call the other ants man
they should make an ant icon
dungeons groups are just hiveminds tbf, the tank is the queen ant
i feel like the healer is the voice of common sense before i do a massive 25 mob pull
Bow down to your queen, DPS drones and worker healers!
I love when people ask for summon. Afk in valdrakken, and you can fly at 900% speed to a dungeon 20 seconds away
Not traveling to Taz is way worse imo
i took 15 mins to figure out where halls of infusion were
5s flight path
Pain theater lmao
and plaguefall
i knew my way around maldraxxu
did not step to kyria after finishing the quest cuz hurt my eyes
damn the new affix with positive and negative charges
You seem like a ‘cool’ guy. Do you want a cookie?
intervane will be fun
Why am I seeing words associated with shadowlands uttered
tru what is shadowlands
Shutters
some people liked sl
....yikes...
i did 1st season
parts of it were ok
I liked SL M+
nathria
then I found out about legendaries and thorgast
vomits
guys, I was joking
throatgast
i was gonna buy a wow token cuz I dont do content that generates gold to get legendary
Cease mentioning such things at this time
choreghast
but blizz region locked me out of it
How did you end up getting legendaries then while actively avoiding all zones?
i managed to get 10-15k for low ilvl
version
then at 9.2 or 9.3 i got the 291 one for like 5-10k again
oh i leveled alts which gave me like 10k each time they hit 50
Ididnt level them past 50 to avoid shadowlands zones
in slight fairness it required like 10 min quest chain that some people just never knew existed and never bothered to find out lol
right, I kept forgetting oribos had a basement
Can you still do M0 even if you already cleared all of them? Like, you can do it - just no loot?
yes
yes
Ya can do just no loot
but it reduces the groups dorp chance to 80% from 100%
which isnt nice for ur 4 friends
I mean, I'm the only plate in my normal group. I'd rather do a plate stack then help them.
right - you can get loot assigned to you but you just can't see it is the only downside
unless u were gonna trade
ya plate stack good idea im gonna do that too
[With weekly restarts] Brutal Vitality now adds 15% of the damage dealt to your active Ignore Pain (was 30%).
Is this big?
it is a fair nerf probably
Make it 10%, I feel a dk rn
wasn't the talent bugged anyway? (atleast that is what I thought I was reading)
i don't think so.
- pretty sure the talent is still broken
- we're doing enough damage and IP spamming to keep it maxed out most of the time anyways
Didn't they also buff the shit out of the other one?
[With weekly restarts] Fueled by Violence now causes Deep Wounds to heal you for 85% (was 65%) of the damage it deals.
yeah they're trying to make the 2 choices even
Blizz can't get their head around the concept
Preventing damage > healing damage
isnt IP usually capped anyway
both seem pretty fine imo I guess one will eventually be math'd to show which is best
ye
If you aren't comatose ye
since IP is usually capped I go bleed heal for the remaining 45% of dmg taken
why we haven pinned it?
I do like BV works with the tier will prob end up running BV
because nobody reads the pins anyways if the last 3 weeks have taught me anything
true
bloodborne is a trap
20% no?
2 talent points is huge opportunity cost
probalby more not same xD
Blizzard knows this
That’s why spirit shell is gone
i will probably drop it for ravager and shield charge at some point
but I am 2 lazy to get more keybind slots
are the trials worth it to do?
oh no
They need to make the healing very attractive to be useful, because as it stands even in ST I feel like Brutal is gonna win the day
Since you heal less the fewer targets there are
Yes
but u also do less dmg no
Fbv goes bonkers in mass counts
yes but you ideally want to get gear from other sources (like M0) first as the trials scale with ur current ilvl
Yeah, but so does BV kekw
Bv scales slower
I feel like FbV needs a rework to make it do something else.
It’s fine
blizz should buff bloodbourne to 40% kekw
ye ok, im alrdy 371
there is Trial of Flood, which is the other one?
trial of elements in chromie time
do you have coordinates?
not 100% sure but i think scales upto 379?
apparently things scale to 382, but that might be ilvl 375 average or higher. I'm at 374 and getting 379s
can i find a timer for Trial of Elements somehow?
no but u can server hop to find it
got 376 shoulder, and then 379 wrist damn
i got 382 belt
BV is still bugged

all our current gear gets replaced next week anyway so whatev
i crashed whle doing a dragonrading race
rip
and crashed again while changing zones :D
does anyone have a list of which embellishments can go where?
-Been lurking around here for a minute and decided to post for the first time-
Out of curiosity, it's probably been talked about already, but are people going Thunderous Roar/Word over buffing the crap out of Shockwave so that Shockwave is more of a utility CD rather than dps CD? Seems to me like Shockwave is doing more damage but at a cost of DRing cds
THe issue with Shockwave damage is that it guts its ability to be used as CC - ie you cant hold it for an unkickable interrupt etc. DRing is a seconary concern that is also worth considering. Roar + Words synergizes with our other natural choices and provides a usefull cooldown in its own right
TLDR shockwave damage opprotunity cost is too high cause you have to drop words, and taking it over words is silly because while both provide damage, shockwave damage does so at the cost of cc
Also idr the sims but im pretty sure its just less damage ontop of that
Yeah, definitely makes sense. Kind of what I was thinking, but I wanted a second opinion. Thank you for the clarification!
Bull owns 

It’s also not a dps up
It feels like it is because low cd and more burst damage
But you are losing bleed damage, extra gcds to cast shockwave (marginal) and obviously utility factors
It also doesn’t “scale”
Like roar does
Roar scales with all 4 secondary stats
Shockwave only scales with vers mastery
I can see that too! Definitely makes sense
Guys if u must choose for alt tank between pala and dk what u will go ?
we all do
what has been the discussion of Embellishment so far?
is the Legs and Belt worth anything for us?
those are the only ones i can get the plans for already 😄
do we normally do BV or the other thing (ip one) now before the IP set bonus
oh, okay, that stinks lol
@strong forum did you test the Embellishments in beta?
nah
Is crafted gear eligible for conversion to tier pieces once that comes out? If so, what happens to embellishments on those pieces? Do we have info on that?
doubt it
yeah it stands to reason it wouldnt work
What's BV?
in the most recent case, brutal vitality
brutal vitality
pala secret op
Can you craft tier sets?
theres a bug where if an ip hits cap it wont add to it until a brand new application is added
Pally feels really squishy tbh
ie: lose the buff entirely and put a fresh ip on from 0
thag bv bug is bs indeed
Oh i see, thanks for the clarification
i cant get over shield throw not giving holy power but other than that feels sick
i did like 2 m+ at lvl 60
Dps is good on pally, but I get smashed on things my warrior yawns at
🙂
likely no; we don't know for sure yet. if anyone has direct info please jump in. but the only possibility is that crafted gear can be converted to tier EVENTUALLY when the creation catalyst equivalent is usable. but this likely won't be the case for a number of reasons.
I thought this was fixed
With the nerf
sorry, may i know how the wq ilvl scales?
Is there anything best pratice crafting for prot warrior? what is the best first item to craft?
is it a specific reknown or bag ilvl ?
equipped ilvl
TBH it might've been
that node has so little of my attention
Nop
350 ilvl lol
nothing like doing a hunt and not getting the rewards
Rip
Yeah so do i
But having m+ not be loot capped for a week is really going to speed up gearing
Is there any item in particular that we want to use the spark of ingenuity on?
but are they repeatable D:?
Ppl are going in on shield
i didnt get loot when i kileld again :(
I kinda figured it might be shield
I made a 1hander
?
What's the bis weapon enchant for protection?
But i had assumed you could respec knowledge points
oh, do we know raid loot already? I honestly missed that
So i spent points willy nilly so now im a sword smith
Raid loot is known for months
We do im pretty sure
fair enough, I was not following it until 3 weeks ago
so a lot of stuff flew over me
Which of the 2 linked guides is the better one? Icy veins or wowhead
Just gotta open dungeon journal
thanks
Both are fine, written by 2 diff people. You have some small differences but good overall
Talent suggestions were different iirc
M+ start today or next week?
Sophic
So i was thinking of that
Next week
hm, do you think that highest m+ runners will be stacking more haste or vers?
I used the one thats been pinned
Always haste
I see, then the dungeon shield looks a lot better
I assumed vers would be better, only picked up warrior in df
Technically frozen devotion is our strongest enchant
Vers is for the weak
well yeah, you take it so that you are no longer weak 
You take it if your a coward
which embellishments are people putting on the crafted item?
is there anything relevant?
sophic devotion or writ for weapon
Frozen devotion is alot more dmg than sophic and sophic/wafting makes you tankier
The normal leech enchant is better for cloak
Unless they changed that
How's the damage of scale from offensive?
if you can afford it
Scale is awful
basically whats im going off
Frozen devotion is also stronger in ST
If you want to give up more def
And regenerative leech offers literally nothing over normal leech
Other than a tiny out of combat heal
Frosted armor kit is also better than fierce
Cuz it gives armor + Str, which is more dmg than stamina + Str
How is Lifeflame Amp?
Rip my 30k on a sophic
Naw its not the most damage
And alot harder on aoe
buying enchants rn is pepega tbh
I made myself a sword the enchant stays with it
Even through recrafts
In ST frozen is 1.1k dps gain
Sophic is like 500
frozen would be great for pushing keys since every bit of dmg matters
I feel as tho minor survivability gains that i cant control arnt worth much
Actually
At max ilvl
Wafting, frozen and sophic are all within margin of error
At lower ilvl frozen is just alot better
For obv reasons
What phials do we use?
Why am i seeing so many warriors crafting bracers on my server, am I missing something there 🤔?
They see "vers gud"
So far only tested glacial fury on beta
Eye in the Storm is good for mythic+
And static empowerment for raid
Eye of storm is exceedingly situational
Glacial fury performed better
the have no friends one can be good for M+ depending on comp
Glacial is dmg proc only
Yes
It's not good defensively, but will deal a lot of damage
I see vermintide cosplay
Breh
You don't need to have every single item you wear to be only defensively build
That's not how wow works
You can't "survive even harder"
And 99% of your survival comes from playing well
yo did BV get fixed alomg with the nerf?
Learning the class strength and weakness helps you survive lol
also @strong forum how we liking Bushwackers compass?
Idk what that is
i only have gave vers to me lmao
For 6% of a stat
anything but mastery aint bad
it is one of the stronger embellishments ye
but idk if its been nerfed from beta or not
Best weapon enchant for us?
id wait imo
Okay
Seen a lot of people go with the shield first
surprised there isn't a bis list yet
there wont be one
5 tank logs 
I wont be playing warrior early on
Am on enha duty for raid
sir ill also play normally
!
I just want to know if there's a specific embellishment we want and/or crafted piece since im BS 76 with purp hammer. I'm itching to craft my own
BiS is whatever you can get out of mythic 0
Oh right you might actually push keys
Are there any tips to managing outburst? I know you spend it on shield slam on single target and thunder clap on 5+ targets but often those abilities are on cooldown when I get outburst and I accidentally spend it on the other or ignore pain
I member when tanks do comperatively the same dmg as dd in Mist of Pandaria. Pepperidge Farm remembers
Good times inc
well you just said how to manage it ye?
🤢
comparatively? you played wrong then lol, tanks did way more damage in most fights, ha, it was a blast
Do you have either of the WAs for tracking outburst? Both should be in pins iirc
Oh I put it wrong, the dps did comperatively dmg to tanks.
ha touche
Outburst doesn't get consumed by Ignore Pain.
BRING wotlk revenge back!
I have a WA showing when I have it I don’t know if it’s the same WA
does it matter if you choose wrathion or sabellian btw ?
my situational use was "i only had the recipe for eye and not glacial yet, and phial experiments did give me a few eye phials..."
if you pick wrong you lose half your gear when the correct one is crowned

The ones I'm talking about show you the stack build up, as well. One is an icon that counts stacks of the building Seeing Red buff, the other is a bar that fills, telling you how much rage you've spent towards the next outburst (i use this one)
Would you hold shield slam if it’s off cooldown?
not for long
If your sheer, only focus is damage, it might be worth holding for TC
It's worth spending rages on Revenges to fish for a SS reset in ST pretty much most of the time, though
You just don't want to overwrite your outburst or miss a GCD
do i miss something or why does Uproar only gives 15 sec CDR instead of 30 like the tooltip said?
no
Is that sure. I cant test it , since I am banned for a week.
I’ll look at them, thanks
also if u can spend enough rage on revenge to overwrite your outburst before SS comes up naturally you deserve a medal
yeah its sure
so, we should be alch for max dps right? due to the pot extension
Rend damage is seperate from tclap entirely
kk
hell rend dot damage is seprate from rend initial hit entirely
You might find it does more damage due to amps like avatar/strength/stat buffs but things like UF/outburst affect only tclap damage
we miss shadowlands S3 S4 days
not really though i'll puke if i ever have to set foor in oribos again
It was definitely actually possible to overwrite outbursts then.
particularly since avatar just gave you it
I'm at like 17%
with deep wounds being buffed are we gonna start runing with that?
14% and still rolling.
haha ur slow
Damn, we got damage buffs I never heard about for one of our baseline bleeds
I thought it was just a buff to Fueled by Violence making it heal more

non-shitpost, if brutal vit is still bugged, it'll probably be better in most circumstances to rock Fueled by Vuolence over BrV
sure 🙂
display bug
also works on my machine idk
