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 ?
in ST?
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
Probably outburst
are you in war mode?
No
Punish+Outburst+BFI
Yes was thinking that too but still a 200% + Punish seems to be lower than 100k
BFI ?
In st and Mt would be good to know 😄
Brace for Impact.
It increases shield slam dmg 5%-25%
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
And shield block active as well (you might be looking at tooltip without it on)
Booming voice too maybe ?
With booming voice as well. Yeah makes sense. I think I was missing BFI in what I was looking at
yep
Mutiplier city
1-hand spec too
But 1hand spec is constant not temporary
Outburst + avatar + booming voice overlapping

Plus 10% crit damage from crushing force
Damn
- all the passives yeah
I think protwar might be good
SHIELD SLAM POWA
+good shield mog is also a 50% increase
true
Don't let this distract you from prot paladins
bulwark of azzinoth mog is a 100% decrease though
They're just as stupid now
Sloot is crying
And offer better ways to help their group
About protpal
Lmao
Yes but they're less fun to play because blizz took my Avenger's Shield holy power 😠
That’s the only good shield
Prot pally is unironically better
Or well he is crying about war cause protpal is bad according to him
bulwark of azzinoth is the basic bitch shield
but all the streamers put us in S tier!!!
You are the basic bitch
The round-ish ones
Mmmh yes, let's forget about 1min sac, bop, spell warding, lay on hands wogs, the 3 back to back buffs they received
Dorki said s tier cause once you learn basics war is pretty forgiving
Now gimme a proper 2-hander transmog rule change
Every tank is
You can sit in def stance have 100% shield block and you will do more than fine without a second thought
I feel like veng is a def juggle again
Focus has gone a bit further towards damage than active survivability
Don't forget that pally is the kickmaster himself
Every start of xpac
We only have m0
Pally literally sleeper R1 tank for m+
We only see burst dmg
Let’s see how it’s in m+. Neither now nor on beta it was
???
Still it's easier to upkeep ressources for defenses and have some for damage
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
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 
I still need an answer from you gods, or I cannot sleep 😄
this expansion is so weird in that tanks actually feel really fun
At that level everything is omega find muscadet
tanks are massively stronger than in SL
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
I mean, you said basics. I would say not overlapping your 3 buttons is basic
At least dragon is fun
Didn’t say it’s not more complex than pwar
tanks in 9.0 
I said basic on protwar is to keep up block
Sit in def stance
Kitters you mean
Dont minmax dmg
I'm honestly not sure what you're asking about.
Deep Wounds is also applied by Devastator. You use Revenge as an offensive rage dump.
So if I am at full rage and don't need IP and SS and TC are up I use revenge ?
In AoE you still want to cast Revenge early on as it puts the DW dot on everything.
If you are at full rage and SS/TC are up you IP->SS
Yeah that's what I was doing and what i thought.
IP is not on the global cooldown, Revenge is.
You will have times where you have to weave IP in inbetween GCDs to not overcap rage
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
You press button, button costs rage
So I thought that I am wrong at this point
Whats hard to get
you spend rage so you can get Outburst as well as feed into Anger Management
= prot is fun
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.
would you ever use rage on slam for single target?
or is getting more IP just better?
You don't use Slam. Period.
huh
Don't even put it on your bars.
Fine. But what happens if u come to revenge and suddenly SS procs . And so on ? Do u at one point ignore a ready tc or SS for revenge ?
makes sense
use revenge
instead of slam
"Your main goal is to avoid rage overcapping while maximising rage gain."
So instead of revenge it will be IP ss
Yes.
IP only if you would otherwise overcap rage.
If you wouldn't overcap rage with the next SS you can just SS->Revenge
Somebody macroed ss on ip
Literally a priority, not a rotation:
0)IP ONLY TO PREVENT RAGE OVERCAP
- SS
2.Thunder Clap - Revenge
There are hardly any times like that.
Unless the pull lives like 5s
But i had one and I just got that question in my head since then
If you're now talking about AoE then you still cast Revenge.
isn't damage mitigation more important than revenge damage?
or do you get enough IP from talents
Yeah it doesn't really happen unless you don't take enough damage to deplete ip
We are talking about offensively.
Mitigation from SB is a given.
Are you talking about AoE now or ST?
I mean I obviously wouldn't have these questions if revenge was also offgcd
Like protpals
Now aoe 😄
St SS over all I guess
Except in avatar with UF
Even then in ST still SS.
And in Multitarget?
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
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 ?
IP only to avoid overcapping as a hard rule? I feel like with all the magic damage this xpac IP’s usefulness would be a little higher than that
If you're playing correctly you're going to be having it up for the majority of the time regardless.
Anyone that played beta know hard we get clapped in jade serpent? Heard it's pretty bad on second boss?
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.
As i said - if you're playing optimally, that's the usage.
It's a priority list.
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.
The more you do the SS,TC, Renvenge dance right. The more rage you have left over for IP. The absolute worst thing that can happen is you dumped too much rage into IP and starve yourself while SS and TC are on cd, then you will be standing there with your pants down and not only get less IP afterwards but lose leech, indomitable heals, brutal vitality IP , etc.
Level night elf
panda or bust
My panda is dead forever
Is there something i "should" do when hitting lvl 70 besides gearing my character
Yes, enjoy new expansion
I understand this, my issue isn’t with prioritizing those over IP, but the advice given made it seem like IP shouldn’t be used unless you just had spare rage which isn’t entirely true. We’re all on the same page, I disagreed with how it was presented originally
I think the only time i purposely used IP as a defensive was during ML 2 last bosses.

mwahi did top keys pog
Believe it or not, i used to actually be good at the game and push keys in ancient times,

im sure you did grandpa! Lets get you to the couch so you can watch some tv, shall we?
Have fun
Yes plz.
Sounds comfortable.


Eyir cooks
Yes chef!
nice
Eyir cocks

Pog
eyir sucks
fuk u @sweet summit
fuk u @sweet summit
wtf
shield or 1h to craft first with primal infusion?
For offense, 1h
For defense, shield
The choice is yours
1st boss of raid drops both weapon and shield
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
were the super elites nerfed to only give 379 gear instead of 385?
Wait until day 2 when logs are posted
Im still a bit madge we dont have conq banner
banner was nice
rng on ilvl they drop
higher ilvl u have gives the items a chance to be higher
not guaranteed
we can worry about that when we hit a gearwall i think
im in no rush to do anything in the game anyway
@ionic fern u da mvp, ty
ye im like renown 5-10 hehe
all ive really done since i hit 70 was m0s
yes chef
I haven't even bothered with m0's for this week
Is there some hidden rule for recrafting gear cuz I still can't put this armor spike on my shield D:
certain slots take certain optionals yep
ohai steve :0 mr bear god
eyir socks
🧦
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..
fang on the weapon, not on the shield. pictured
oh im dumb then. spikes vs fang. heck
yep should be able to add em!
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?
The only quote I recall was "I don't recommend it. That said, I did it."
its an easy recraft to swap out once you get the better ones, at least
one perk of the optionals
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?
guys, but i noticed that unlike us plates, we don't have the tier set of the pieces created by the profession like other classes. So for us which pieces will be encore?
Highly depends how often it procs
It's 6% vers with 1ppm iirc
It's not at all large, and it's from a worldquest
Not a dungeon drop, thus not farmable
less proc than say the Lariat neck, and cant choose the stat it gives
oh wait thats a trinket im tired
lots of stat stick trinkets out there. id just sim between em 🤷♂️
and replace them all next week
how tired? almost to my first paragon caches for centaur and expedition 
Go climbing?
How many hunts u do ? All of them? Xd
its been several hunts
is that ignore pain still use full or should change to
need to spend your rage, ignore pain is one way yep
Check first pin
what pin
do we know if neck recipie is coming next week?
Regarding loot specs, do we go fury besides specific bosses targetting shields /particular trinkets or stay prot in general?
Check boss by boss
Is there a simple bis answer to what i do with my spark ?
no
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 ..
You check loottable
Early on just sit in prot i guess
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 ..
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
world quests still just seem to decide to give me whatever they feel like and not prot gear
give me a bunch of 2hand weapons instead, i do hafe a purple 372 shield and blue 363 1h weapon for prot though
We’ll 381 item level after getting one more matrix this week. Only source of fear now is super rares once a day and siege
No you get a chest everytime you do it
The first is an epic chest, all the rest are blue chest
my WQs changed rewards to Primal Chaos after i got higher ilvl. Which kinda sucked cus i was gonna get an upgrade either way
Blue chest have a low chance at loot but still worth a try
Siege is once per siege cycle now
every 2 hours
can do multiple in that cycle but can spam out every 2 hours for the chest
2 hours, lootable once each 2 hour siege
Two hours thank you
I found a pretty sick WA tracker yesterday. Tamas todo list. Has tracker for whole week.
Also, how are you mr bear?
I've missed you a tiny bit, cant lie.
❤️
❤️
Been waiting to show this to someone LOL... Imagine being woli on prepatch couple days before DF 😄
is woliance the benchmark?
@thorn spruce
NOOO
get rekt
fml...


hahah. I love you too bro xD
❤️
i too had an enjoyable prepatch

This is just amazing @mortal brook holy fucking shit. You really are my hero for a reason 😄
bears fun this patch as well so far
I have bear inc soon, its 57 😄
not total momentum swing but good threat and sustain in the ebgs
Beside the shape shifting stuff, its pretty fun class tbh
not a lot of shifting this patch, staying in bear looks to be best dam
unlike nathria
Bear Customisation when?
where youd just have your cotank keep the boss the entire time so you could keep rip up
Ohh noice, i really dont like having 4 different hotkeys depending on wtf shape I am in and some abilities not working in those etc.
hmmm, the tracker WA says there is world boss but I cant see one 😒
could reasses your binds tbh. i keep my bear stuff on my bear bar except for stuff that forces bear form like incap roar
world boss next week
Wdym
You dont like to swifch off bear form
Mid pull
And then blame the healer
okay you caught me, i am greedy and love sunfire splash when i can
more events for gg
but no boomyvokes anymore, bless
Thoughts on what item to craft from spark for PROT?
is fueled by violence worth using now over Brutal vitality?
with the recent buff to it
Yeh but soon as you change shift, it shows an entire new bar. Its annoying.
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
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+
but feels like Normal raid will give very few upgrades when we are 380 🤔
tier, trinkets and upgrade items.
I'm just gonna do m+ and eventually do normal when my team isn't on
upgrade items?
but im an unguilded dumby so
the ones you need for crafted gear.
From what i understand (Which could be wrong) you have equal to the 150 recipe increase but for raiding.
they drop from M+ also i think? no?
you can make primal infusion from primal chaos, takes 80x i think
think ill just spam M+ all day
and do HC raid
but probably wont be invited for HC raid without being 10/10 normal 😄
I wouldnt either. Esp since theres only 8 bosses
Looking at the numbers for normal I don't think it'll be that hard to pug all 8
Basically LFR difficulty tbh
hmm ok 🤔
ill maybe skip on the first week with guild, then do it week 2 with guild
What’s the story on tier gear this patch? I only play wow for m+ and only do other content to facilitate pushing keys.
Is tier set impactful enough for me to try to grind heroic and get my set?
Hi guys, is there any source of theorycraft on embellished gear for prot yet?
no
unfortunately
as Nome said "a lot of them can be hotfixed a good bit, so its hard to say anything from beta"
The belt you refer to is Unstable Frostfire, right?
Tfw you go to craft your shield, get called away..endup coming back and just opening the window and hitting craft without putting the extras in place
Hurray me 386 vers mastery shield
Gonna go kick something now


U can just recraft the same piece
Re-crafting is alot cheaper
It's good that there is a recovery
And I can just keep upgrading it with the titan matrix from m+ right?
Depends how easy it would be for you to raid, but I'd say it doesn't impact us much for the start of the season
Finally got a titan matrix IV now the question is do I wait for a primal infusion or do I send it
Can't m+ convert gear to tier anyway
The only source for tier, for the first 6 weeks is ONLY from the raid. Unless they changed it.
That's fine tbh
Starting week 7, the creation catalyst will open to everyone.
It's just there
for arms its pretty absurd
You get free damage from doing your rotation, which you can min max a bit
But it's not SV4P levels of dps increase
im stuck under the feast shit... Anyone know how to get out?
I can't find any info on simc status for prot war as far as I can see, and I have no clue what to sim with for dungeons X_X
Just use highest ilvl 😄
I think you can unstuck your toon from the battlnet page
You must eat ALL of the soup
You can get tier from the vault as well from any of the available slots potentially.
i have like 130~ mastery, should i try to dump that last bit in favor of crit/haste/verse? i'd lose 4 ilvls on that one piece.
mm, that worked. Spent 11 min with the feast, didnt get reward...fml
Can you get tier pieces from vault even if you’ve only built your vault off m+ runs for the week?
Yes
not as clear cut for trinkets
or rings
look at my trinket situation
lol
How is your scale 376??
that is rng reward, i had chest this week
yea most my friends had no reward at all
very epic
am in exact same trinket situation atm. i use scale and splinter. between IP and splinter you could actually go afk mid pull
what ilvl is everyone heading into heroic raid with? I'm at 360 and not sure if I want to care about doing more m0
I'm 373 equipped now
and the scale came from a citadel event box
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
u guys wanna see something epic
good catch i forgot about that one !
oh nice
I’m 374 getting 385 drops also and 376-379
don't go to Neltharus or Ruby with that shield xD
Yes chef!
Someone told me rubyshell is BiS cant believe its true 
yeah sure but i mean bis till season beginn
Namely all-totem of the master, boon, grief torch, whetstone and decoration of flame
Pre-season bis is whatever looks the coolest
And for me that's shark and signoll flare
yeah fine thank u
I thought you didn’t like whetstone 🙂
For pushing keys I'll prolly use rdm + Ruby whelpling or rdm + signoll flare
I hate whetstone
But it's too OP not to use

What, nobody like kicking balls into the boss?
Whetstone in ST was quite strong iirc
Yeah but % in ST vs % in aoe etc
Yeah obv its stronger in St than aoe
Mastery stat it just sad
Yeah...
the crafted items fucks my mind 😄 cant decide on wich i spend my spark. thinking about weapon or belt with armor spikes or ring
Just wait for m+ then 🤷♂️
392 weapon does rock for quite a while
I made engi bracers myself
ill get 25 maruuk today too. could upgrade to 405 then
RDM, reactive defense matrix, good trinket 😄
i have yet to do any rep.. oh wait. I wont 😄
Does the channel on grieftorch not affect blocking?
How do you reliably farm the super rares
Each day no less.
I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing
I'm not even bothering to grind myself stupid,
Guess I'll just BG
It's such a small leg up
Does it also direct you to them?
no
Resisting the urge to level another character
i use SilverDragon to show rares on my map
addon?
yeah
mmh any setup or just a plug n play
mostly plug n play
there are some options i changed but i dont think they were particularly important
HOLY FUCK I forgot how dogwater skrims are
so many undergeared players
Just get mauled in two globals
Where?
removing the silver dragon for rares was a stupid idea unless it was done for colorblind ppl
arenas
I don't think colorblind people have a problem with gray
any suggestions for crafted item for protwarri?
and even then i don't think gold and grey are 2 colors that frequently get fucked with due to CB
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
like, you'd EASILY be able to tell gold and silver dragon apart
even if you were colorblind
Unless you are truly colourblind
its iconic, you see the silver dragon, you instantly know what it means like a mario mushroom
Yes and no, some colorblind people see certain colors as grey, and the right hues can make them indistinguishable
Lots of variance in colorblindness.
How the fuck do I read this.
What does orange vs. grey mean
orange means not killed yet (daily)
Orange is the zone you're in
grey means you're not in the right zone
Grey is another zone
i learned about this playing battlefield 4
After you killed one, it's no longer displayed
Trita looks like the more fun one to me
I assume this thing doesn't actually retroactively check if you've killed one or not
it does
Mmmm... pretty sure I already killed Snarglebone earlier today
We see in red blue and green correct?
Or is it red blue yellow
Wait...
the one on the left is normal
We don't see in RBG. RBG is a form of color display, homie.
and the other is how you would see the world
Yellow mangeta cyan are the colour receptors in the eye?
Reset my friend
Obviously its BGR
That's a... comically gross oversimplification.
It says so right there
I know it oversimplified
Perfect pwar discussion
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.
Not #off-topic at all
U need the glasses bruv
those are the same thing
we perceive certain wavelengths of light as a given color
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,
Different cones are going to be more receptive to a certain kind of wavelength which is going to include multiple colors, not just RBG.
like the "green" cone is mostly sensitive to the wavelength of light that we perceive as green
My kid figured out how to make rainbows explode from each keypress on her laptop

There are more types of colorblindness
Testosterone vs. Estrogen is another type of colorblindness
But not the apparel... That's cringey imo

u need some fkn antibiotics
I miss glad stance
or at least musinex god dam
Not gonna do anything, it's the flu
hot soup and go outside at some point later
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
yea if tylenol keeps the fever under control its fine
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 all, does anyone know if the brutal vitality bug was fixed?
Guys, can we do heroic raid with only tanks?
can do all content with only tanks
Even mythic?

hi, how much ilvls is a socket worth is there any spreadsheet or any info regarding this question ?
ilvl and haste++
you should stop using pawn in roughly 3 expansions ago
Haste/critical
Also, I believe you increase your critical % much more than versa. So it is more dmg too
About survivibility, we have enough.
How can I look up the ideal % I need for each
There is none.
Someone please tell me.
How much increase % does 100 versa gives , and how much % increase does 100 critical gives.
Crit is more damage with less survival, Vers is more survival less damage. It's almost irrelevant which order you pick them in, but if you wanna parse monkey go crit first.
So, I was corrent. Haste/Critical
For the wrong reasons.
?
Obviously, if you are between 500 haste and 100 versa. And 300 haste and 300 critical. You ALWAYS pick 500 haste and 100 versa.
doing napkin math it's 180 crit per 1 % and 205 vers per 1% dam
so it is like 10% less dmg overall.
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.
No
lol probably event further back than that
The value changes based on how much you have
bump
Of course , we are talking about same ilvl and same strength stats.
Adding 500 haste when you have 2000 is not the same as adding 500 haste when you have 1000 haste
Do whatever you want, it's kind of unimportant what people are doing with mats and craftables until after M+ season breaks.
some guy wants 75k fee for 405 ilvl shield of hearth . Is it worth or not?
The value changes based on all your other stats
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
No, more haste means less GCD. Lets GCD is more buttons pressed per minute. More buttons pressed per minute more survivibility and damage. More damage, more tendies.
Its not about DR I’m talking shout the nature of how stats interact
Not nearly to the extreme you're thinking.
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.
No thats stupid
True, but it isnt nice to have like 5% haste.
Because with say more crit each gcd is worth more
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
What is this copium from the FOTM kids.
I am not FOTM kid.
is the socket worth ?
I play protection warrior all of Shadowlands. From season 1 and upwards.
tbh, you guys just need to stop overcomplicating it, get highest ilvl first, then ideally have haste w/o mastery, done
☝️
if you REALLY want to min/max, just fucking sim yourself, stop trying to preplan shit
mastery is so good. /s
75k xd too much
It's really, really not that hard. If you weren't parsing the upper 1%, your gear wont suddenly make you a chad.
True, but it can make your life easier.
not really
Also, there is no point of comparing RN. No m+ or raids are up.
You need actualy clownshoes S4 meme amounts of stat to see that.
haste = go through more rage = more CDR
All we talk about is hypothetical
80% crit arms in m+ i like retard stats
Math is fake anyway
Yes
Numbers are bullshit
we know that haste is very good defensively and offensively
Obv mainstst over everything
we know that mastery gives us relatively little value
If there were no humans would earth still be the 3rd planet?
Mastery good into physical
that's all you need to know, you dont need to overcomplicate gear choices
Just take ilvl
except not really, not over the other benefits we get from other secondaries because we already can easily maintain 100% block
!
Also mastery's AP is dogshit
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.
so nobody could gave me proper pawn yet 🙂
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
dont use it, easy
for sure I know what is the mandatory stats
simcraft
The Great Swog moved? anyone knows the new location?
I asked for pawn string
simcraft
no one uses pawn
lets all sing it together
Guys, how to check APM in details?
Dont weight stats, just sim
log
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
What do you even look for in a sim on tanks?
zug zug dam
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
can only sim for damage
simming for surv would require encounter specific sims
Ok ty
Honestly I've almost only ever simmed for rings, trinkets, and necks.
I got lost literally.. So want me to do sim for a tank but I have no idea which items should I use..
barring the odd socket item or two
you can just have it sim all items in your bags, but again, just delete all items that arent top ilvl first
then delete all items that have mastery without haste
alreadyt did
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
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
ok so you're asking for an answer but wont accept our answer
did i read pawn? man thats some legion shit
we cant help you then
What the actual fuck am I reading.
it wasnt even good in legion lol
Yeah, why don't you want us to tell you haste/crit?
true but i know it since then
for sure I accept whatever you are giving me..
Maybe let's hear that logic first, bud.
if ALL you care about is surviving then go haste>vers on highest ilvl items and call it a day
it's really not complicated
gearscore>hast>vers=crit>mastery
Guys do you think the Wrathion farm is worth it? Has anyone done it post nerf? The back has bis stats
Yeah, sorry mate, you aren't impressing anyone with your sweat.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Any farm you do is gonna get dumpstered in like one week of S1 and raid.
worth is a matter of personal choice, it'll get replaced relatively soon come M+/raids, so it's up to you
If you got nothing better to do, do it.
Well its 389 right?
398
im glad ive farmed the cobalt ass. ring pre nerf! that thang just does crazy dps
That's not bad
don't get me wrong, it's good, but it takes a lot of time
which is why it's up to you
Does anyone know how much time it takes?
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
^^^
16 hour grind or something
In groups
Ouch, i grinded the cobalt ring and thought it was worth it, this is probably too much time
Nah, if you stack greys and play correctly, its closer to 3-5
Btw, can you disenchant the wrathion's epics?
Depends on how populated the assembly area is
that would be dope
if i had to grind it post nerf, id think twice seriously haha
doubtful
Dunno i did it pre nerf
For wrathion?
Wrathion is 100% not worth if you have to ask if it’s worth.
Ez
Ok so 16 hours more of m+ next week, understood
Real gamers are next week.
If it was worth it for you you would already know.
imo, wrathion is only worth if you also want the black dragon form, which also imo is ruined because they're just brown
trinket wise does anyone else trust bloodmallet over wowhead/icy?
trinkets you really just have to sim yourself
okay because ruby welpling trinket is said to be S on wowhead, i have it at 372 and it does like 200k a dungeon
that trinket is super RNG
okay, gonna keep it for now
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
i dont know either..also the tests that have been made by wowhead people arent that great in terms of useful results
yeah it sure is
Yay I got my shield to 392 with a proc 😊
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
doesn’t it give main stat too?
yes
or secondary stat or something
mainstat
idk how to get it to proc AOE spells though 
does it? i thought it either heals or does like a fireball thing
you can continue to recraft the shield with better embellishments right, I made mine early not even highest quality
yeah it does either a ST spell or an AOE one
it does fire lob-something
so st and aoe yes
how to check the procs? Any guide about the crafted gear?
Cant seem to find it in icy-veins
Haven't seen a prot warrior specific crafted gear guide but there's some general ones on wowhead.
You can upgrade any item you make later so it’s not a waste.
So I literally have all the one hand weapons and all the shields out of MO should I still craft a weapon or shield with my spark or upgrade something else that is lacking because I have weapons out the ass.
what if I choose the wrong slot now tho
What is the rotation to do the most damage when Avatar is active and 8+ mobs. Is it better to revenge spam and fill with shield slam after the first thunderclap?
BiS I believe
it got traded away now, but, incase i see it again
To bad then. You will get another spark every 2 weeks until you have 5 though.
Thunderous roar and that ravaged ability too
Whats best buff from ritual shell for us ?
Sorry, minus those abilities too. With everything off CD, was curious when to revenge spam vs fill with thunderclap
If you just wanna do max damage then TC > revenge during aoe and avatar.
Thanks @mellow quartz
Yeah thunder claps CD is reduced and damage is increased during avatar. Thunderclap those cheeks off.
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.
fwiw a shield is always a solid choice for us, and worst case you get a nice mog from it
Thanks for input, I'm just gonna save a bit longer because I'm playing dual spec so gotta compromise between both specs
ah, yea then probably bracers iirc
best crafted item to use our ingenuity this week?
Anyone know what the proc rate is like on the 384 ilvl pvp crafted helm.
Grats!
i do not, but i heard the net benefit from the bracers was better
Aside from it being 382, is the Alchemist Stone a high performing trinket for us?
Seems good, but is the strength uptime reasonable?
it's 2rppm
3.5ppm
Worth 500dps
The haste alchemy stone is probably the better of the 2
whoa, new alch stone just straight up can keep your phial up forever?
that's kinda cool
During Ava, in aoe, if rage gen is no issue (which it usually isn't), and without a prio target, should we use SS when possible, or nah?
Thank you
accidently wiped us on boss 2 life pools
mythic mode, i thought the boss would despawn if i moved it too much, and i didn't put boss on adds, someone said to do so, i think it makes those adds easy to kill is why
other than that, like, 3 deaths whole run
which crafted item would benefit us the greatest right now?
EU is Wed
oh, ok
The whole point of the boss is to move them in a circle
That is not the EU it’s the UK
Eu, the big country
lmao
same thing innit
oh yogi
Nope they left
Are you drunk?
they only wish

You ever read a yogi post and think "this has to be a character"
Day in the life of a brexit geezer
I’m not sure if you are trying to make a joke or not
Thought so. Thanks for confirmation
a bit yes, but besides germany cant think of one eu country top of head
maybe spain or somethin, italy
Already 3, nice
is this to try and prove that NA education is shit?
eh no need to prove that one
why, we already know that
im not very smart with geography, nor politics, nor history

But tbh, I don’t know many states in America either
I got burgies in between my ears too 
Lost and found! A VHS recording of "America's Most Mysterious" TV show, featuring Mimal, the killer elf of forgotten folklore. Only part of the episode was recorded unfortunately.
Actually, as you probably know, this was a Cinemassacre production. The scenes with the Mimal reenactment were shot in Decemeber 2014. I never had time to finish the ...
Arkansas which is pronounced arkensaw which makes no fucking sense
creepy pasta lite
Murica
but, it seems like it has some kind of origins,
That seems stupid
When you love guns so much you just combine another states name with guns

like, i could see thise mimal thing being real
Imagine having a Florida education
Why
well to be fair..
Ur targeting me 
What about Florida education ? 😅 (from Eu, so not targeted but curious )
It is shit
its uh pretty bad compared to the rest of the country
my dk friend is florid man and is toxic lol
spending wise and metric wise
Regular day in loxahachee
Man none of my friends really believe gators are chill
he was raging at some warrior for doing low dps in mythic life pools after pulling entire dungeon, then kicks him before final boss
ugh
Havent lived till you see bushes staring back at you
lmao vote kick him but say nothing
he's typical dk main angry boy
a piece of shit
pretty much yeah
yeah i wouldnt queue with or call anyone a friend who does that
dk is pretty good overall
The Everglades bois is fucking terrifying
heroic classes divide into arthas fanboys/illidan fanboys and scalies
Imagine grass you can swim in but also has invasive pythons and regular gators living in it
No telling how deep the “grass” is
id rather not
i usually pull trash at a normal rate and apologize if i think i screwed something up, but i can get angry sometimes too
usually alt f4
Usually I hit them with the “bro wtf are you even doing”
And they never know (obviously) lol
lol
Ya know, the players who spend more time walking back then actually pressing buttons, and die on first phase of every boss
The typical quiet pug
As I tell a new tank in my guild, don’t stop running, always keep pulling!
Mana is the healers problem, not yours
its my problem when i or the dps, or the healer dies
and then healer starts yelling at me
it then bcomes my problem
Doesn’t matter, keep pulling
Man, I am ROLLING in trinkets and I'm kind of sad about it.
They just want fastest queues = fastest loot
what is our preffered deck
i'd have to wow token but thought about looking at the watchers or fire deck maybe
was doing ruby life pool and ended up getting 1 shot by last boss
i may not need one, with i picked up the literal 420 blaze it haste trinket
ur healer fault
Is Forgestorm simbait for ST, btw?
359 Forgestorm simming better than a 372 Spellbane on ST patchwerk
oh, we had 2 warlocks, that probably explains why the run went so well
which phial we using for raiding / tyranical?
okay i was worried after seeing i got hit for 250k
sorry, not 2 warlocks THREE
They are immortal
also use defensives lmao
i joined some locks group and he said he wanted to "2/3 stack armor for loot" invites 2 more warlocks
people doesnt read the dungeon journal until they get 1 shot by a 300k ability
Well why would you before then haha
not gonna work all the time when im sitting 5 stack most of the end of the fight
Prob didn’t get a dispel
there is alot of them adds on boss 1 life pools
they come in 2 or 3 waves, like 3-5 at a time
telling me i didnt read the dungeon journal, i know why i died, not much i can do about it tho with zero dispels
bitter immune wont work if its a magic
many solutions
Ahh they removed the magic dispel huh
no
tell me the solutions 
only uselss if ur not a dwarf
