Where did you take the TC>SS?

blazing condor
#

what was the numbers on when outburst TC > outburst SS

#

with avatar up / down

hazy sluice
#

Nvm I checked unstoppable force and then TC comes first

#

If I get so many procs that I would never cast revenge in a pull, do i just miss out on the dot from it and that's fine ?

foggy osprey
#

Hey guys. Giga noob question, but my shield slam sometimes crits like 100k+ and I am having trouble pinpointing why. Looking at our talents I don't get where the multipliers are that lead to such a big number

blazing condor
#

Probably outburst

warm plinth
#

are you in war mode?

foggy osprey
ionic fern
#

Punish+Outburst+BFI

foggy osprey
#

BFI ?

hazy sluice
ionic fern
noble lynx
#

It increases shield slam dmg 5%-25%

warm plinth
#

well you can get 25% increased damage from BFI, 200% from outburst, and probably 20-30% from Punish theoretically?

#

with lucky procs

#

so that's quite a big jump in damage

noble lynx
#

And shield block active as well (you might be looking at tooltip without it on)

obsidian path
#

Booming voice too maybe ?

foggy osprey
#

With booming voice as well. Yeah makes sense. I think I was missing BFI in what I was looking at

noble lynx
#
  • crit is 100% increase?
#

And avatar is 20% dmg too right?

warm plinth
#

yep

noble lynx
#

Mutiplier city

obsidian path
#

1-hand spec too

noble lynx
#

But 1hand spec is constant not temporary

strong forum
warm plinth
#

Plus 10% crit damage from crushing force

noble lynx
#

Damn

strong forum
#
  • all the passives yeah
noble lynx
#

I think protwar might be good

warm plinth
#

SHIELD SLAM POWA

noble lynx
#

+good shield mog is also a 50% increase

warm plinth
#

true

strong forum
#

Don't let this distract you from prot paladins

warm plinth
#

bulwark of azzinoth mog is a 100% decrease though

Prot pally is unironically better

noble lynx
#

Or well he is crying about war cause protpal is bad according to him

warm plinth

bulwark of azzinoth is the basic bitch shield

I love the new dungeon shields

#

Mmmh yes, let's forget about 1min sac, bop, spell warding, lay on hands wogs, the 3 back to back buffs they received

noble lynx
#

Dorki said s tier cause once you learn basics war is pretty forgiving

strong forum
#

Pally is literally insane rn

#

Anybody who ways otherwise is wrong

obsidian path
#

Now gimme a proper 2-hander transmog rule change

noble lynx
#

You can sit in def stance have 100% shield block and you will do more than fine without a second thought

strong forum
#

Yes that is true

#

Prot war is very simple now

#

To get by defensively

noble lynx
obsidian path
#

Focus has gone a bit further towards damage than active survivability

hazy sluice
#

Don't forget that pally is the kickmaster himself

noble lynx
#

We only have m0

#

Veng has been nerfed 3 times since beta m+

#

So uh yeh

limpid anchor
#

Ye maybe it’s worse now

#

But not in the current content

noble lynx
#

Yes but you play around and rotate different mitigations

#

Is objectively more complex than keeping up shield block

#

Thats not a "lets see in m+" thing

#

Regardless of its powerlevel

strong forum
#

Yeah vdh needs to actually time their defensives

#

Can't just overlap them

obsidian path
#

What I know is that at my level (aotc/ksm), I'll have fun and be decent when I go prot
Good enough for me gladge

hazy sluice
versed matrix
#

this expansion is so weird in that tanks actually feel really fun

strong forum
#

At that level everything is omega find muscadet okayge tanks are massively stronger than in SL

noble lynx
#

The game always have been the most fun when tanks are strong

#

So we are looking at a good xpac

#

If they dont ruin it

limpid anchor

#

At least dragon is fun

Didn’t say it’s not more complex than pwar

Sit in def stance

obsidian path
noble lynx
#

Dont minmax dmg

ionic fern
hazy sluice
#

So if I am at full rage and don't need IP and SS and TC are up I use revenge ?

ionic fern
#

In AoE you still want to cast Revenge early on as it puts the DW dot on everything.

ionic fern
hazy sluice
#

Yeah that's what I was doing and what i thought.

ionic fern
#

IP is not on the global cooldown, Revenge is.

blazing condor
#

You will have times where you have to weave IP in inbetween GCDs to not overcap rage

hazy sluice
#

Yeah I know that and a friend asked me that and I tried to explain to him that u can dump your rage OGCD with IP to feed your rage spending talents

#

But he doesn't get that

noble lynx
#

You press button, button costs rage

hazy sluice
#

So I thought that I am wrong at this point

noble lynx
#

Whats hard to get

obsidian path
#

Button press heals

#

Too

blazing condor
#

you spend rage so you can get Outburst as well as feed into Anger Management

obsidian path
#

= prot is fun

ionic fern
#

If i was at full Rage with SS/TC up in ST:
IP(to prevent rage overcap from SS)->SS->TC->Revenge

#

Easy as that.

#

Your main goal is to avoid rage overcapping while maximising rage gain.

versed matrix
#

would you ever use rage on slam for single target?

#

or is getting more IP just better?

ionic fern
versed matrix
#

huh

ionic fern
#

Don't even put it on your bars.

hazy sluice
versed matrix
#

makes sense

blazing condor
#

instead of slam

ionic fern
hazy sluice
#

So instead of revenge it will be IP ss

ionic fern
#

Yes.

hazy sluice
#

Okay
So there are pulls where I never use renevnge

#

That is okay then ?

ionic fern
#

IP only if you would otherwise overcap rage.

#

If you wouldn't overcap rage with the next SS you can just SS->Revenge

obsidian path
#

Somebody macroed ss on ip

ionic fern
#

Literally a priority, not a rotation:
0)IP ONLY TO PREVENT RAGE OVERCAP

  1. SS
    2.Thunder Clap
  2. Revenge
ionic fern
#

Unless the pull lives like 5s

hazy sluice
#

But i had one and I just got that question in my head since then

ionic fern
#

If you're now talking about AoE then you still cast Revenge.

trim island
#

isn't damage mitigation more important than revenge damage?

#

or do you get enough IP from talents

obsidian path
#

Yeah it doesn't really happen unless you don't take enough damage to deplete ip

ionic fern
#

Mitigation from SB is a given.

ionic fern
hazy sluice
#

I mean I obviously wouldn't have these questions if revenge was also offgcd

obsidian path
#

Like protpals

hazy sluice
#

St SS over all I guess

#

Except in avatar with UF

ionic fern
hazy sluice
#

And in Multitarget?

ionic fern
# hazy sluice Now aoe 😄

Okay, so..in AoE you still weave in Revenges.
It's fine to keep SS waiting for a global or two.
SS->TC->SS PROCS->Revenge->SS

hazy sluice
#

Thank God. Now I have it written down somewhere. Thank you for your time 😄

#

And is this from 2 targets upwards or at more targets ?

#

Anyone that played beta know hard we get clapped in jade serpent? Heard it's pretty bad on second boss?

scenic plank
#

I think we’re on the same page, im just not sure about the wording of that advice, it makes it seem like you should almost never click IP, which I feel like isn’t true.

ionic fern
#

If i'm not capping rage, SS/TC are on CD, i'm using Revenge over IP.

#

Sorry to interrupt, but is it worth to level up a Dwarf over my existing Orc Pwarr for M+?

Does not matter

The Dwarf racial is great, but by no means mandatory.

Is there some guide or at least a "helping" hand as to what should u craft in what oder( prio maybe) for different contents? Im honestly lost af there . There are some items with pre determined efects , then some u can choose, then u got tier and whatnot

Is there some hidden rule for recrafting gear cuz I still can't put this armor spike on my shield D:

so armor spikes can't go on shield?

not on the list for shield nope. and for example only weapon slot takes the bronze grip

it's.. in the picture..

mortal brook
#

fang on the weapon, not on the shield. pictured

oak ivy
mortal brook
#

oh im dumb then. spikes vs fang. heck

if you're trying to add them, hitting the craft button and nothing is happening, repair your gear

WEEEEW that was it ty papa steve

related, was that one of the embellishments yall are recommending here?

oak ivy

The only quote I recall was "I don't recommend it. That said, I did it."

mortal brook
#

its an easy recraft to swap out once you get the better ones, at least

#

one perk of the optionals

bold thunder
#

So is there a reason why, when i look at our bis lists for trinkets, this isn't listed at all? Its all these weird on use damage ability trinkets and Ruby Whelp Shell. Shouldn't a large vers proc + strength be really good for us since it's just flat damage and damage reduction?

I love how broken the item restoration website is now

Can't sort at all

Guess u stay prot in m+ all the time unless u have wep/shield maxed right? Im kinda used to other tanks where u can "cheese" specs easier ..

noble lynx

Early on just sit in prot i guess

neon elk
#

Ye but as long as u dont **have wep or shield in dung u stay prot , same for vault , right ?

#

I wrote it like retard tbh ..

blazing condor

if i planned on playing OS i'd lootspec prot until i got a shield and wep

maybe if there's tank specific trinkets that are great

If we are 380 when this week is over, does it even make sense to clear normal raid before doing M+?

if thats how your guild enjoys learning sure. also tier pieces.

ima hop into m+ till raid time tho

craggy pilot
#

im thinking for me specifically

#

i cant join for guild raid this season cus of scheduling :>

#

just thinkign if i should pug the raid on Normal before doing M+

craggy pilot

they drop from M+ also i think? no?

you can make primal infusion from primal chaos, takes 80x i think

slim dove
#

yeah primal infusions come from m+

#

key levels over 10 I believe

craggy pilot
#

think ill just spam M+ all day

#

and do HC raid

#

but probably wont be invited for HC raid without being 10/10 normal 😄

mortal brook
#

I wouldnt either. Esp since theres only 8 bosses

slim dove
#

Looking at the numbers for normal I don't think it'll be that hard to pug all 8

Basically LFR difficulty tbh

ill maybe skip on the first week with guild, then do it week 2 with guild

you can keep repeating citadel event, the blue box (every completion after the first rewards a blue box) offers a scalable reward (it's random whether anything drops, but it can drop)

so you can do the event every two hours if you want to fish for gear

i use SilverDragon to show rares on my map

Before m+ hits

cinder nova

#

yeah

cinder nova
#

mmh any setup or just a plug n play

fierce juniper
#

mostly plug n play

#

there are some options i changed but i dont think they were particularly important

cinder nova
#

HOLY FUCK I forgot how dogwater skrims are

#

so many undergeared players

#

Just get mauled in two globals

upbeat salmon
sick sentinel
#

removing the silver dragon for rares was a stupid idea unless it was done for colorblind ppl

cinder nova
#

arenas

upbeat salmon
#

I don't think colorblind people have a problem with gray

tranquil pivot
#

any suggestions for crafted item for protwarri?

sick sentinel
#

and even then i don't think gold and grey are 2 colors that frequently get fucked with due to CB

junior brook
#

Is there already a "prio list" on what to craft with the Spark on Ingenuity? Or is the neck something we want aswell?
I couldn't really find anything to it

sick sentinel
#

like, you'd EASILY be able to tell gold and silver dragon apart

#

even if you were colorblind

upbeat salmon
#

Unless you are truly colourblind

sick sentinel
#

its iconic, you see the silver dragon, you instantly know what it means like a mario mushroom

cinder nova
#

Lots of variance in colorblindness.

sick sentinel
#

there are 3 main types

#

and they are all impossible to spell and pronounce

cinder nova
#

What does orange vs. grey mean

fierce juniper
#

orange means not killed yet (daily)

feral wing
#

Orange is the zone you're in

fierce juniper
#

grey means you're not in the right zone

sick sentinel
feral wing
#

Grey is another zone

sick sentinel
#

i learned about this playing battlefield 4

feral wing
#

After you killed one, it's no longer displayed

upbeat salmon
#

Trita looks like the more fun one to me

cinder nova
#

I assume this thing doesn't actually retroactively check if you've killed one or not

fierce juniper
#

it does

cinder nova
#

Mmmm... pretty sure I already killed Snarglebone earlier today

sick sentinel
#

i 60% of the time pass over them

#

depends what im even doing

upbeat salmon
#

Or is it red blue yellow

#

Wait...

sick sentinel
#

the one on the left is normal

cinder nova
#

We don't see in RBG. RBG is a form of color display, homie.

sick sentinel
#

and the other is how you would see the world

upbeat salmon
#

Yellow mangeta cyan are the colour receptors in the eye?

fierce juniper
upbeat salmon
#

Haaa

#

Rgb it is

sturdy sable
#

Obviously its BGR

cinder nova
#

That's a... comically gross oversimplification.

sturdy sable
#

It says so right there

upbeat salmon
#

I know it oversimplified

mellow quartz
#

Perfect pwar discussion

cinder nova
#

It's oversimplified to the point of just being wrong for the sake of an easy answer tbh.

#

Cones are identified by wavelength, not color.

mellow quartz
sick sentinel
#

i have basically this keyboard now

#

but not the glasses

upbeat salmon
#

U need the glasses bruv

fierce juniper
sick sentinel
#

i got a new KB and its all swanky, each key light is addressable, and hot swappable.

#

so, i have it orange when not doing anything and green after i touch it, like half life,

cinder nova
#

Different cones are going to be more receptive to a certain kind of wavelength which is going to include multiple colors, not just RBG.

fierce juniper
#

like the "green" cone is mostly sensitive to the wavelength of light that we perceive as green

uneven mason
#

My kid figured out how to make rainbows explode from each keypress on her laptop

cinder nova
#

Depending on the length of the wavelength.

#

It's actually yellow and green, though?

And I'm not gonna go to the ER for antivirals unless I'm legit peaking in fever, and I'm tapering my fever off at current

lusty tiger

yea if tylenol keeps the fever under control its fine

cinder nova

I'll be fine. I got 2 nurses as roommates and they were both top of their class. They gave me about 1000mg of tylenol and it's been clearing up ever since.

hi, how much ilvls is a socket worth is there any spreadsheet or any info regarding this question ?

late moss

hi all

#

anyone can share prot warr stat pawn??

vital sinew
#

ilvl and haste++

oak echo
#

you should stop using pawn in roughly 3 expansions ago

lyric geode
#

Haste/critical

#

Also, I believe you increase your critical % much more than versa. So it is more dmg too

#

About survivibility, we have enough.

remote cobalt
#

How can I look up the ideal % I need for each

cinder nova
#

There is none.

lyric geode
#

Someone please tell me.

#

How much increase % does 100 versa gives , and how much % increase does 100 critical gives.

cinder nova
lyric geode
#

So, I was corrent. Haste/Critical

cinder nova
#

For the wrong reasons.

tall cedar
#

guys is it worth to craft shield of hearth 405 ilvl?

#

with spending spark

lyric geode
#

Obviously, if you are between 500 haste and 100 versa. And 300 haste and 300 critical. You ALWAYS pick 500 haste and 100 versa.

oak echo
lyric geode
#

so it is like 10% less dmg overall.

cinder nova
#

STR >> Haste > Crit=Vers > Mast

Overall you're still taking ilvl over everything because STR is king. Even if the secondaries are dogshit. The only time you're making a choice not based around ilvl is rings and necks where STR is absent, and even then only within like... 3-6 ilvls depending on the weight of each piece you're comparing.

edgy grail
#

No

prisma crane
edgy grail
#

The value changes based on how much you have

lyric geode
edgy grail
#

Adding 500 haste when you have 2000 is not the same as adding 500 haste when you have 1000 haste

cinder nova
tall cedar
#

some guy wants 75k fee for 405 ilvl shield of hearth . Is it worth or not?

edgy grail
#

The value changes based on all your other stats

cinder nova
#

The DR on haste is so low that it hardly matters unless you're pushing the extreme upper bounds.

#

Plus we get flat haste % bonuses anyway

lyric geode
edgy grail
#

Its not about DR I’m talking shout the nature of how stats interact

cinder nova
#

You need so much haste to get actual non-fractional GCD returns.

#

It's genuinely irrelevant. Your play is going to decide your capability for an enormous amount of content, not your gear.

edgy grail
#

No thats stupid

lyric geode
#

True, but it isnt nice to have like 5% haste.

edgy grail
#

Because with say more crit each gcd is worth more

cinder nova
#

It doesn't matter, trust me.

#

There's no breakpoint.

edgy grail
#

You cant just look at it like that

#

They need to all be considered at the same time not in isolation

#

Thats why you sim

cinder nova
#

What is this copium from the FOTM kids.

lyric geode
#

I am not FOTM kid.

idle idol
#

is the socket worth ?

lyric geode
#

I play protection warrior all of Shadowlands. From season 1 and upwards.

prisma crane
#

tbh, you guys just need to stop overcomplicating it, get highest ilvl first, then ideally have haste w/o mastery, done

cinder nova
#

☝️

prisma crane
#

if you REALLY want to min/max, just fucking sim yourself, stop trying to preplan shit

lyric geode
#

mastery is so good. /s

cinder nova
#

It's really, really not that hard. If you weren't parsing the upper 1%, your gear wont suddenly make you a chad.

lyric geode
prisma crane
#

not really

cinder nova
#

Not gonna fix bad play.

#

So no.

lyric geode
#

Also, there is no point of comparing RN. No m+ or raids are up.

cinder nova
#

You need actualy clownshoes S4 meme amounts of stat to see that.

lusty tiger
#

haste = go through more rage = more CDR

lyric geode
#

All we talk about is hypothetical

prisma crane
#

no

#

sims back it up

#

we know that STR is the best for us

sick sentinel
edgy grail
#

Math is fake anyway

lyric geode
vital sinew
#

Numbers are bullshit

prisma crane
#

we know that haste is very good defensively and offensively

sick sentinel
#

Obv mainstst over everything

prisma crane
#

we know that mastery gives us relatively little value

edgy grail
#

If there were no humans would earth still be the 3rd planet?

sick sentinel
#

Mastery good into physical

prisma crane
#

that's all you need to know, you dont need to overcomplicate gear choices

sick sentinel
#

Just take ilvl

prisma crane
cinder nova
#

Mastery is only as "good" as the other stats because the actual gap between each in terms of weight is shockingly low, and combined with how strong STR is, it's why we lean into ilvl above everything else.

late moss
#

so nobody could gave me proper pawn yet 🙂

cinder nova
#

STR is uber stronk and mastery is "good enough" that even a completely dogshit weighted 411 warrior will clown if they know what they're doing

#

It'll just feel awful to play

prisma crane

lusty tiger

lets all sing it together

lyric geode
#

Guys, how to check APM in details?

vital sinew
#

Dont weight stats, just sim

lusty tiger
prisma crane
#

if you want a string, you have to make one yourself based on info we gave you, but just know that no one uses it here, and there's a reason for it, it's not necessary

sinful root
#

What do you even look for in a sim on tanks?

vital sinew
#

zug zug dam

prisma crane
#

at a basic level (which is what pawn does) gearing is extremely non-complicated for us

#

if you want more detail, simming will always be WAY better anyways

prisma crane
#

simming for surv would require encounter specific sims

sinful root
#

Ok ty

cinder nova
#

Honestly I've almost only ever simmed for rings, trinkets, and necks.

late moss
#

I got lost literally.. So want me to do sim for a tank but I have no idea which items should I use..

cinder nova
#

barring the odd socket item or two

prisma crane
#

then delete all items that have mastery without haste

prisma crane
#

congratulations, you're probably geared well enough

#

enjoy playing the game

#

i'm only half sarcastic here too, you really don't need to sim, at all, unless you're looking to push top parses

late moss
#

I am nott asking for compare, I am just wondering which stats should I go always (dont tell me crit/haste) and sim is not a good way to balance a tank spec

prisma crane

ok so you're asking for an answer but wont accept our answer

solar blade

we cant help you then

cinder nova

What the actual fuck am I reading.

it wasnt even good in legion lol

which is why it's up to you

ocean prairie

Does anyone know how much time it takes?

prisma crane

we can't tell you if something is worth your time or not

like 5 hours last i heard, but that was i believe pre-nerf

its not worth if youre asking in a discord my man

mellow quartz

Ouch, i grinded the cobalt ring and thought it was worth it, this is probably too much time

vital sinew

Nah, if you stack greys and play correctly, its closer to 3-5

lyric geode

Btw, can you disenchant the wrathion's epics?

that would be dope

oh sorry, not wrath

And save your 16 hours for next week

mellow quartz

Wrathion is 100% not worth if you have to ask if it’s worth.

edgy grail

Ez

ocean prairie
#

Ok so 16 hours more of m+ next week, understood

vital sinew
#

Real gamers are next week.

mellow quartz
#

If it was worth it for you you would already know.

prisma crane
#

imo, wrathion is only worth if you also want the black dragon form, which also imo is ruined because they're just brown

solar blade
#

trinket wise does anyone else trust bloodmallet over wowhead/icy?

prisma crane
#

trinkets you really just have to sim yourself

mellow quartz
#

Just sim them

#

Also what’s your use case for trinkets between raid and m+

solar blade
#

okay because ruby welpling trinket is said to be S on wowhead, i have it at 372 and it does like 200k a dungeon

prisma crane
#

that trinket is super RNG

solar blade
#

okay, gonna keep it for now

prisma crane
#

plus iirc you have to use that 24 hr CD on an enemy to bias towards doing damage, i'm not positive if that's been confirmed though

solar blade
#

i dont know either..also the tests that have been made by wowhead people arent that great in terms of useful results

sick sentinel

I mean its too early to tell

#

M0 dies in 5 seconds

yeah it sure is

tender quartz
#

Yay I got my shield to 392 with a proc 😊

prisma crane

tbh i have a feeling that ruby whelpling has potential in pvp (if it's not nerfed) just because it doesn't hit often but when it does it's bursty AF

lyric relic

doesn’t it give main stat too?

yes

does it? i thought it either heals or does like a fireball thing

patent hull

you can continue to recraft the shield with better embellishments right, I made mine early not even highest quality

lyric relic

it does fire lob-something

Right?

thick ore

Just so many opportunities for the double revenge hits. I was wondering

TC does more damage than revenge (including the 30% extra damage) during avatar and as long as you have sufficient rage via bloodsurge to sustain the TC and revenge spam you are good.
