not sure how people sim to show Lariat being better 🤔 these are my top choices with 359 neck, and 379 wrist...
33 ilvl upgrade on Lariat + the equip = 1.0%
13 ilvl upgrade on Wrist + equip = 1.2% dps
(my weapon is 372, hence the 392 weapons showing above)
You understand
That not every emb
Is in sims
Correct?
So maybe lariat is not yet in simc
its right here
but how do you reckon people say Lariat is better if its not simmed then?
The effect might not be in simc
Link the sim
Lariat 382 simming higher dps than a 389 neck
Just the ilvl alone should be more than 1%
3 ilvls down should gain 1% dps?
what?
?
^
Im still talking about the 1%
Since you arent linking anything
To try and figure if something is erong
ah ye i sent other picture one sec rerunning the sims
what are we fighting for this time?
I dont want pics
He means link the url
ill link when its done lol
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pmruCGQqRKCvoQnMgRYpXe
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sRKy8RPJs5f2AnnGnNJwPQ
hmm they give the same outcome on neck ye
Wrist embellishment looking to be flat out 1% dps
which is about the same amount of stats as Lariat, if not more
so it will probably be 1% for Lariat as well
pants not simming either, and Frostfire belt looking to sim like 0.5%
so is there a final decision on Shield of Hearth vs Primal Molten Defender? I know there's been a lot of talk on how to use the 2 embellishments and probably shield isn't the best for it
you can do either
its all up to you in the end
true, so if you craft it, you are locked to using it until you potentially craft another shield, or gain another high ilvl shield
but then again, Hearth effect could be very good, we dont really know since the proc rate is 🤷♂️
we know the proc rate. it falls in line with the other embellishments.
ah ok didnt know
its 2.2 ppm
and is the dmg scaled off AP?
what do you mean
hearth effect doesn't do damage...
i think the main idea of the ring/neck crafters, is that it sacrifices less main stat, which you will gain from high M+/Mythic raid gear, while crafting Plate pieces give you an early boost in Str, which might be replaced later, unless you keep crafting it up
oh fuck yea my bad, thats the helmet 😄
yeah i was confused for a second there
the helmet has a ppm of 3.5 and as far as we know scales with vers.
i waa thinking about doing the companionship one, probably wont
I'm putting together mats for Primal Molten Defender I have my t3 primal molten alloy and armor spikes can anyone suggest what to put for Infuse with power (I assume this is the missive) and customize secondary stats? still learning crafting system.
you guys know how i feel about hearth though
i don't....do tell 🙂
Nimchip being dramatic af
infuse with power you cnanot do yet, the customize secondary stats is the missive, where you might want something like haste/vers
not really, ive said it so many times
its a waste of an embelishment
Do I buy the missive on the AH or is it like a note to the smither?
and a waste of an early spark
you went molten defender didn't you?
of course
you buy it on the AH, and rank 3 makes the item easier to craft for the crafter
shield is waste of spark?
I don't know any is there a genearl search term? Missive doesn't bring any results.
hearth
hearth shield is...
missive of the
aurora or fireflash
haste vers , haste crit
Aht thanks
i went glyph finding so i can go mining easier on my dk, swapped to rrost and got 1 shot
gotta work out some greens at least for him
Ok cool thanks finally got my head around this I appreciate all the help from this discord I'm very new and I feel liek this helped get me up to speed much quicker than I would have on my own.
go get that shield ❤️
remember if you put Armor Spikes, it takes up 1 of your Embellish slots
i find it very confusing the new work order system but i will probably make something soon
you can remove embelishments on it on a later recraft though
unlike hearth
and other perma embelishment pieces
but yes, thats something to keep in mind
remove spikes and/or potion duration embelishments from it on a recraft asap you get another spark for better embelishments
Do we know what the best embellishments will be for M+ yet?
Yea can't wait! Yea the spikes is a decent embelishment for now though right?
i like using my shield with the fed embelishment
You went no embelish just to keep it open?
Nimchip is a walking embellishment. He cute af
What is the fed embelishment?
no u
the food embellishment doesn't count as an embellishment though afaik?
Oh the one where the well fed buff doesn't disappear?
u die and dont lose the food buff and it increases the duration 1 hour
What does armor spikes do? causes damage when they hit oyu?
pretty sure it doesn't count as an embellishment
alchemical flavor pocket he means
I have armor spikes and the well fed one in my inventory they both are embellishments I believe.
either way id say the two important ones would be spikes and/or pot duration
Yea I'm going spikes personally.
but it depends if you pot while pushing keys
idk bout spikes
Still only 1-2% overall in an m0
They are an embellishment but they don't apply the unique-equipped thing
Possibly, but if it isn't, then everyone should have it
yeah might as well if youre planning on putting embelishments anywhere else
And when I'm lookin in trade I'm asking for t5 molten defender right? I'm not getting any responses can anyone in here craft it?
food buff best buff 
thats how i got a 1 star pants
from the first shitter that presses button
so? recraft
oh gets worse if the person doesnt know what they are doing
oh, yeah you're right
my pants were 3 star and placed them for recraft to 5 stars then i got 1 star ;_;
completely forgot about that
i wanna sue
well im against them putting quality restrictions on orders
but
they should definitely add a recrafting with a restriction
im not after randoms butchering my gear
probably 1 up max from where you are
Is there a limit to how many orders crafter can fulfill?
doesnt matter my dude its for the health of the system
Don’t use public work order system then
yes 20 a week publics
get me a personal bs then
Ah dang. I guess I need to increase my tip then
Public system is already dead since you can’t put limits on it
Trade chat
you cant put limits on nit
But yeah trade chat is your best bet if you're after something very specific because crafting orders are only your server/server-group (where applicable)
you'll kill the system
its unfortunate people are like MAX QUALITY OR NOTHING
but it is what it is
If you can’t decide what ilvl you get you won’t find anyone that puts up orders
It's probably a bad idea to have stuff based on a quality. More mats or something to guarantee higher ilevel would've been the better way to go about it
Unless they only expect the minimum
its already monopolized by people that can craft perfect gear
agreed
tell that to eonar and their empty orders
most people are doing personal/guild orders
blizzard will fix public once they see there is a problem with it and see trade chat whispers leading to sale vs work order sales
Yeah if you have to go to trade chat to get what you're after, it hurts the crafting order system
like in what world is a person not going to want the best item they can get for their money
If you want anything but minimum ilvl you won’t use public system
I think the system very clearly needs work. But imo, it does bring back a little mmo feel to the game where it feels like knowing the people on your server and seeing people in trade chat adversities their speciality actually means a damn. Everything is so automated in MMOs now where everybody feels like an npc. Gives some old vibes
But obviously the system needs refining
Or you risk all your mats on some rando crafting it as minimum level, which no one will do.
You're "risking" them in the sense that you want the best but might get the worst (of the possible options)
It’s very simple. If I want a specific ilvl item I should be able to order that not having to go yell in trade chat for it.
no but you gotta end up buying more mats to recraft
as it stands, youre even getting an ilvl bump over anything at base ilvl
yea not being able to set the quality in public orders is just dumb
If you already have that same ilvl or higher you get fucked
ngl I kinda think the crafting order system would be more flexible and make more sense if it was global
Not talking now
because max pve loot is 379 off super rares
In general
ok but we're living in the now
ZZZZZZ
not in the "after tuesday"
384 if you count the worm
Say I have 413 and I want 418 and out it up for public order. It will just end up wasted on minimum range craft.
I don't think there's an issue with identifying potential future problems though, do you? Problems should be voiced sooner so they can be fixed sooner.
Not allowed to talk about a permanent system in a future context!
this system is gonna get a lot of problems in the future
calm down everybody, im just setting context
Like you don't wait until a problem exists to fix it if you can identify it ahead of time
The public system is completely useless in a few weeks when everyone is going to try and get max ilvl crafted pieces.
how are you guys gonna deal with lil timmy that just got to 70 and wants to do his weekly to go up in knowledge and rep
there is not alot to be fixed besides random bugs
since if you set quality, everyone is gonna want max quality and nothing else
how do we deal with that?
that's 2 problems in 1
locking the quality you can order on a weekly basis
Just the opposite problem of the system being not usable for anything but minimum ilvl in the range
and, obviously that brings out problems in the future
I’d imagine it could be a system that you can request lower level items with a lesser tip
because then what if crafters quit?
and you essentially blocked a way for new crafters to come up
we gonna go back to our profession alts
You can craft stuff without orders wdym
so, cuz those are number one for me, ill play agame that has latency, ill play a game that gets low fps but not together
at least thats what im doing
You are not forced to level off work orders
its like exodia pieces to uninstalling the game
prof knowledge + artisan rep is received via that weekly
thats 3 things that are gained through it
There's prolly crafting catch up knowledge
so casual players would be obligated to do that huh
i have a 61 dk in valdrakken in front of the forge and i send all mats i get
well i certainly hope so
Better than having a useless system at end game
Casual doesn't mean everything is given to you, it's just ease of access to it
will be unless they fix the syatem
so essentially youre gonna be forcing casual players to get a toon to valdrakken at any cost
i see
its easy for you
i dont like it either but if i want good items its what i gotta do
That's like saying forcing m+ player to unlock dragon riding because of one dungeon
You can fly there right when you make the alt
a lvl 70 alt
If you are making a system for such a low level denominator that is useless for all of endgame that is just beyond silly
youre looking at it on an endgame perspective
I am at a loss for words how you can even think that.
wow is not an endgame only game
So ur saying a causal should be able to do everything at level one
a casual player will be stuck with low quality unless they can pay a specific crafter
even Max has seen the error of his ways
Because casual shouldn't level and explore
even blizz has seen the error of their ways
stop looking at things ONLY from end-game only players perspectives like ours
Not being able to set a level means public orders are unusable for anyone that want to get high ilvl simple. That is not a good system requiring anyone to go to trade chat like it’s vanilla.
i agree its not a good system to go through trade chat
i 100% agree
setting quality however, is not something i can agree on for the sake of casual andies
So ur saying, casual should be given the same thing a person spend time on
I'm curious how that affects casual players though
You are just prioritizing one player base over another 🤷♂️
There's no barrier to entry to crafting, just weather or not you are spending the extra effort to improve it
The only difference between lower ilevel pieces and higher ilevel pieces is the crafter right? The mats don't change other than the matrix
crafter stats and skill
So why would casuals not want the better thing
Matrix effect ilvl
can someone translate what cuteguy is actually saying, i have to admit i dont understand a single thing that he has typed so far
you are looking the crafting orders as a extra mechanic for professions instead of what it is, a try from blizzard to establish a 2nd economic system other than the AH
casuals will want it, but can casuals craft it?
Why can't they? They have the access to the same things we do
No they want to make crafting meaningful but by using BOP items.
So you can’t just p2w
And have it all come from the crafter
alyrion is right
thats an extra
no that's not extra
If a casual crafter wants to craft, what's stopping them?
thats 100% what they want
you gotta put effort on it anyways
this is my question as well
if the only solution is to implement a max quality checkmark then blizzard should absolutely get rid of the weekly orders quest
If the crafter provided all the mats the buyer would need no effort
and honestly since we all know that max quality checkmark will be perma ON, then just get rid of quality altogether
Solution is to let people set the quality they want to have some other way for people to level their crafting besides work orders.
well I've already said quality was a bad idea so I'd be fine with that
is like for your house you have the builder that charges you 100 and uses a rusted hammer and the one that charges 500 but has good equipment who are you gonna go to?
Quality is the only exciting thing about crafting?
to satisfy everyones min maxing itch
As long as you cannot guarantee the quality you get the public system is useless for endgame.
true
not specializing? Not the trees? Not the crafting order system in general?
It's all about the quality; that's the only new thing in crafting
and it's the only thing that makes it fun
whats so special about the trees ghash
I can see a world where people are requesting low quality items because they don’t have to tip as much
The quality system does have a issue,but what does that have to do with casual issue?
they only add skill in basically
and recipes
bottom line, yes quality and hitting a mark is a special thing
as a crafter
we're not talking about gathering
tbh theres a lot, in the gathering tree theres this option to colect mounted or to refine gear
It’s just another money sink like leggoes
which def does have some good things
Would rather have been without it all
the crafting trees are weird
👆
The specialisations thing is a good idea, just executed in a bad way
We were purely talking abt the public order system and quality and range. Nothing else.
Public order system won't be into play until more sparks r out
I don't understand because earlier you said you agreed quality affecting ilevel was bad, and now you're defending quality like it's the only thing that matters
who?
me?
i didnt say that 1st thing
and yes i will defend quality
im trying to propose a solution
But that's literally what quality is right? It affects the ilevel
How can you agree with the 2nd part without agreeing to the first
correct
because the way i see it
lets say you can restrict quality somehow
Imo, instead of knowledge point the way it is, it could be a mastery system, let say you crafted 100x plate boot, you are then able to craft the epic version of it, at that point it can eliminate the need for quality as well. But then that would lead to people who has huge resource to buy mat to get all epic crafted unlocked early lol. Every system will have flaw, if you don't like it you can always send your feedback to the dev n see if it improves or not, if not find another game that fits ur need
then the person making the order
should pay up more
somehow
a combination of mats and gold perhaps
Does anyone have a spell reflect addon/WA to recommend?
which kinda falls in line with what you said
My issue with the current iteration is that you shouldn't have basically RNG determining if you get what you want for your mats.
You can use missive to control the rng right?
RNG of whether you get a crafter that is going to make the ilevel that you want
if you use a public order
why do some people think druid tank is going to be meta?
just curious - I am leveling mine up now but i don't see the crazy synergy/strength that may put it up there
Who thinks that
Would be the aoe group heal
look Ghash lets just leave it at, i can agree with a quality restriction if:
- the guy putting up the order pays off more
- casuals arent getting fucked over on weekly quests, or for not being clued to their tables looking to snatch a quick order
and also, lets make it very clear
the aoe group heal is that strong?
quality restriction wouldn't be a thing really, because everyone would just crank up to max
restrict quality on gold? not a bad idea but how you gonna restrict that on the crafters end
now we gotta tell blizzard
as in, crafter cannot do an order unless they have the stat/gear mins
Discussing it here won’t change anything so it’s pointless.
Nope
But this channel is for prot warrior discussion
then why were you discussing with us?
You can also discuss if the sun will rise tomorrow. Won’t change shit.
You should bring it to a wow profession discord instead
I stopped.
i wouldnt say we're here to change things
this entire discord doesnt change anything in game really
kinda weird that you would think that
This channel is abt help with prot warrior. Not changes.
So that affects people’s choices 🤷♂️
does it?
because every day we have some new person asking about the same thing
does it really change people's choices?
People usually come in this channel with questions or ideas revolving around prot warriors
perhaps so
tbh sometimes theres people talking bout different stuff and thats not bad gives life to this place
but we're a drop in a sea of players, so by your logic should we stop?
since we're really not affecting much ?
If someone comes and asks if he should do X or Y and you tell him X and he does it that has an actual outcome. Hoping blizzard changes work orders doesn’t lol
It’s not abt much
You don't have to stop, but there is a better place for your discussion of crafting/causal/quality
Do you think crafting discords change things in-game then? It was just a discussion guys; it's not that deep
With no point as the discussion has no action to take basis the outcome
if anything spoken needs to have a direct result, im kinda sad for you man
But they would engage more in a crafting discord since they would be more inclined to do more crafting than most people here who mainly just want to play prot warr
When you go around in circles it just becomes pointless
The discussion had a point. We shared things that we think could be improved about the crafting system and got to hear others' opinions about it.
Getting perspective is not pointless
ghash hit the nail in the head
Besides, maybe we were just bored and wanted entertainment. That's still a point.
indeed
From my perspective, it's like talking about WW1 trench warfare on a math 101 group studies group
My crafters are saying they can't get past t4 right now is that correct for Primal Molten Defender?
probably
pfft nah, you can definitely get grade5 for just about anything now
So 384 is max currently?
I think people are still saying to wait to craft anything, right?
yeah but this discord is not extremly serious about what you can talk, we still answer people if they have a question
I thought u can 405 craft
Ah ok.
Does spear of bastion sim higher than thunderous roar and words?
While I understand your point, it doesn't make much sense to participate in the discussion and then claim it's off-topic afterward XD
i'll still participate in it, but im just saying there is better place for discussion like that
ok so where would that be
spontaneous discussions happen
doesnt mean we are going to derail the entire channel to it
Can you upgrade embellishments during recrafting?
i dont think so but dont take my word for it
theres community/server/gold making discord that the discussion we had coulda been great for
so what are we crafting first week? whatever we dont get upgrades in M+/raid?
then theres also just wow forum/sub reddit to see if u can get a thread going
ok so do you propose all of us move there and continue that same conversation?
fuck reddit
im saying you can have your discussion topic there, you might get more insight from people that cares about those more
So, yes*?
*If it isn't bugged for you.
I already have my shield made. Asking the same thing for my second spark…
we already had the discussion, i still dont see your point
its past tense right now
His point was you would get better feedback I assume.
that
I have been confused since 91
and all of us were in it
lol
whats done is done
you never had to ask,i am just putting in my statement as a discussion did take place, but all you did was being passive aggressive towards people that seem to go opposite from your perspective with comment like " i dont understand" then ended up ignoring after a explanation. or completely shut off other good idea as well that just didnt seem to go with what you think
???????????
thats why i also suggest there is also better discussion channel for your discussion topic
the only thing everyone agreed on was quality sucks on crafting in crafting orders lol
im sorry i really did not understand who you were replying to
if you think that's passive aggressive, then i can't change it
but i dont
i made my point and i am going with that lol
a lot of text was going up
and yours was made between lines
so yes i didnt understand at all
there's a handy reply button next to lines
could have helped
that might've helped but i was on my phone earlier with a screen that hates it when i press and hold on the screen so i couldnt fully utilize it
understandable
anyone able to craft a 5 star molten defender?
Trying to get info for a friend, about the spark craft.
do you suggest the lariat necklace, I didnt really see anything in pins other than on embellishments
@golden pollen you can tag someone on phone by tapping their name
that i did not try, my bad on that one
(totally didnt just discovered it by accident)
We use primary stat enchant for weapon, ye?
i should check what enchants i need
prob not gonna enchant until week 4
expensive af
Frozen Devotion or Sophic Devotion
bold of you to think girls exist they are an internet myth
You are not girl?
never seen one
let's talk about the really important topic. Does Bronze Timelock actually have any use whatsoever?
I should say in single target
Yes
i mean i have boobs but haery
Besides making a broken rare doable
😂
i love M-
M_ is gonna be fun
M- is when you dont go in rank up
El depleto
prob gonna be in a lot of M- this tuesday 
it's been two years since i've done a key without a seasonal affix, gonna be a fun week
i love the early part of running up the key

LOL
Am dumb, I can't use my spark yet because of raid spec, I got the titan matrix iv from the world quest, what's the best ilvl shield I can get crafted? 384?
sounds like classic andies
wdym raid spec
Not sure if anyone has talked about this yet and if they have It'd be great to get a link or something. But, has anyone talked about these for prot? Or what are some opinions on these? Do they seem like one is worth it or would they just get out scaled. For prot***
I'm playing arms or fury in raid
382 is max ilvl with matrix
still holding onto my dinar from last season to make sure i make a good decision
Nimchip is the max ilvl of my ❤️
lol harrow
Yeah I haven't even finished earning mine because I'm too anxious about what to buy

Wouldn't say I'm freaking out about spark I just prob want to use it for a dps weapon so I can be better in raid
Got my molten defender 392 thanks for the advice folks!
You have to come here
yeah was just commenting in general
But it’s worth it I swear
uh oh!
what build are yall going for raid?
the pins one
with minor variations depending on utility needed
and then whatever parses better for ST
did you see that guy bail without telling me where to go for the sammiches
heartless
xD
Anyone else main tanking for their guild for raid day?
Nah they have so many tank competition that I have to find one that will allow me but
I think they're rotating us to see who does well etc
I'm in a new start up guild where I got promoted to officer in, so that may have helped my case
Start up guilds need some love too
I always love the start-up guilds. Learning and teaching people is fun.
Especially with people on the same boat.
what profession do you guys advice for Pwar?
I have spent all week undermining people selling M0's by carrying babies. haha
I'm a noob myself and just got lucky with being one of the couple people that started it
Nice dawg, I hope it goes well
M0 is not really hard, I'm immune to toxicity cuz I played ornn 2+ years lol
I, myself, went with Blacksmithing and enchanting.
I am unsure what everyone else is going to suggest.
what did you spec into for BS?
I went into one handed weapons etc. I.. sort of regret not armorsmithing -> shield, but my reasoning was tiered gear.
Again, others may have ideas and suggestions.
i went into shield as well but im not sure if that's the right thing or not
I think it's a good thing.
Personally.
What is the tree that leads into it? General armor?
Yeah, you can probably clean up wrists
Exactly
I would be onboard with that thought process and think it's very good.
Why enchanting for prot?
jewelcrafting should be a better 2nd option right to make sure you can get the neck?
What bout blacksmith And plate crafting
I don't have any other reasoning other than I've always liked it.
i guess the real question is why not
crafting orders exist
^
The person I play with is a jewelcrafter too.
But I've always enchanted our stuff.
enchanting isnt a bad pick, and you can make some good money with it right now
you need a personal order to make sure you don't get random stats right?
Yeah, it's my sustenance. I wonder if I'll swap later.
Getting the other materials is a pain in the ass, I gave up trying to figure out where to find them... Guess I'm going to be 350 ip for raid..
so i need someone that im sure can provide that
does it matter? can you yourself guarantee you can t5 it?
if you go for JC that is
but yes you can only specify quality in personals and guild orders
so JC can't be guarantee? idk i didn't pick a second profession yet
I think that it won't affect you so severely in the long run. The stat farming is a pain.
as in, do you understand what you need to t5 it?
And then the investment to make the items to guarantee Q5 is also a lengthy process.
i was able to get 382 matrix shield yeah t5
i mean the point is, dont pick up something just because you need the item since orders exist
or, i should say, a particular item crafted
i see what you mean so i can just neglect JC then
There's a.. uh /2 chat that has people spamming with proof of their quality too.
I don't know if it's the same for everyone else..
But that's how I got my ring made.
yes, send a crafting order to someone and pick whatever else
yeah
so when the raid is out what you guys going to use the spark on?
whats like worth crafting first?
neck i assume?
shield probably
depends
us old prots go for shield 1st since its the highest defensive upgrade
You're talking about the neck that grants 12 sec boost to secondary stat?

So i assume shield and neck would be a good choice
seems like a good combo yes
as for which embelishments though
that's tbd, but neck seems the go-to
Will the shield be replaced? i forgot what ilvl is max'd out
Yeah, it's the Elemental Lariat one.
so the 2nd embellishment prio might change
any gear bis lists for prot?
see primal infusions
@digital frigate @lusty grotto
Presently in the pins there's a list there but that may be subject to change.
mythic diurna has a shield at 424, but that'll be a while, so a 418 shield is a pretty hot investment
So from M+ there's a solid shield as well and I am pretty sure I can push into M+15 and higher by week 2 if not the end of week 1.
ok

think crafting a 1H is a bad idea ?
Which slots are going to be holding our embelishments? Two of the low stat budget slots?
correct me if im wrong, you can only have 2 emblishments on at the time right ?
Yes
don't think the jury has decided on best embellishments yet
So my thinking is, embellishments would be better on slots with lower stat budgets since their ilvl is capped to low-tier mythic
you cant do that
So you're giving up less stat for their effects
aren't the embellishments more slot-specific than that though?
some embelishments are perma to certain items, others are crafted in
so going for low stat slots isn't going to be a thing
Okay, so, if we end up using a crafted embellishment like armor spikes, which as far as I can tell goes on any armor slot, it would be better on low stat budget slots, no?
whats your reasoning here? it doesn't take anything from the stat budget anyway
My reasoning is that crafted pieces are capped to the same ilvl as low-tier mythic pieces
So in higher stat budget slots you're giving up a higher potential ilvl
i dont think any of the crafted embelishments are worth the number of ilvls
they are just nice to have
You're misunderstanding
no i understand
just use mythic gear over crafted
you can move embelishments around anyway
the crafted ones at least
Ah okay
I'd heard embellishments are like 1% damage which sounds better than 6 ilvl on a belt, but I can't tell
well i dont have off-hand data
but if that's the case then, sure i would go with what youre saying and try to put them in low stat budget slots
but keep in mind
imma keep it real with yall, i have not planned ahead at all, and will not be looking into enchants or consumables or anything until raid day
If we can move them around, I'll just wait for sims to show me the way
things like elemental lariat can't be moved around, its a perma embelishment
its only the crafted embelishments such as Spikes, etc
i spent a spark on shield because shields are cozymode
and put spikes on it because that sounded cool
Hey, that looks like mine
ill put the spikes in as soon as im ready for a recraft
crit gang 
Always.

My co-tank farmed renown 25 on Maruuki and used the 405 matrix on a shield.
tis maybe a dumb question, but is there any skills i do not use as a prot warrior lol
crit has ended up my highest stat for now withoug even trying

@ionic fern hi ily
lol
slam, whirlwind, rend
well, talent rend and then pull it off your bars
ya i was thinking slam and whirlwind dont seem good
Good morning. 🙂
ty friend
Crit is for the people who don't have a fear.
the true prot warriors
Just shy of 30% crit @lusty grotto
I used my matrix from last weeks m0 runs to get two more crit haste pieces
I just want my damage. 😦
I need the best damaging stats to make up for my poor play.
Still those with fear get verse thus you have no fear.
buddy of mine just said prot wars are not using d stand but serker stance to tank is that true ?
battle stance but yeah, so long as we're not doing any hard content why not
Your buddy is correct.
Make me.
it's like a nice little defensive CD except with no CD
id imagine youll use dstance a lot more in mdi
you just have to learn which pulls will need the extra defense and which ones do not
i will 
what would you drop in the raid build to pick up Battle-Scarred Veteran if you need it?
It all looks so good lol
one of the shield charge capstones probably?
and then manage shield block
when you're offtanking
If survivability is a issue then jeah, Battering Ram, as that's a fully offensive one.
Thanks! Is Thunderlord not worth it at all ST?
it's 1/3rd as effective
although idk how many raid fights this tier are commonly multi target
many tbh
not only do they havea to be aoe
they have to be like constant aoe
and not add waves
would be bad on something like desausage
even if sasuage had 3 targets
i think Thunderlord will be good on 1 fight
That's a good way to explain it
violent outburst gives more dps than bloodborne? or do we take it for the extra rage generation?
both?
was just lookiing at the wowhead M+ guide, they only take violent outburst.
ahh ok thx
even in M+ with big stacks all bleeding VO wins in dmg?
well, because if you're in that big of aoe, you can outburst TC
for big stonks damage
VO def wins
ok cool i'll stick with it
bloodborne likely outdamages at VERY high target counts
im talking about in the 40s
pulls that make mdi that look like baby
does the 200% TC from VO make the bleed from that big TC also 200%?
no
ok cool
100k+ SS crits with Violent Outburst. 
Look at your damage breakdown in keys you'll see shield slam is heavily outpacing both bleeds
i'm prolly screwing it up, I just did one with bloodborne and without VO, so rend dmg was higher than shield slam, gonna try another one with VO and compare but I'm sure I just did it wrong lol
:oof:
Sounds like you're not pressing shield slam tbh

so even without VO SS bonus, yall get more SS dmg than both bleeds? I'm screwing it up then lol, trying again
oh shit is SS dmg scaled with shield/block stats btw? Just swapped to prot and have 372 everything else but 340 shield
No
ok then i'm just screwing up 🙂
Based on ap like errything else
Can i only get 1 spark atm? For some reason i can Not geht a spark ob My alt
Next is available at next reset
Well a 340 shield is not a lot of but even still shield slam should be a lot of your damage in all senarios
Should be character
character
Oh strange because i dont have the option Go fuel the engine
did you do the skip?
and did you use the map at the beginning on your alts?
if you did the skip that is
by skip i mean adventure mode
So just a question (im a noob).... Can i get the shield crafted for me if i do not have all the primal chaos ?
Not intentionally i did dungeons all the way i also had the quest where u fly through all the circles @lusty grotto
as far as i know you can't place even a guild / personal order without providing all bop materials
i would be leveling a hell lot toons to snack their sparks 😄
iirc you need to click the map at the start of the expansion in waking shores and jump start the campaign
ah righto, thanks mate
Wow and i also have to do the campain
aka you need to start the whole process
just do the opening quests
but you should do the last zone to get to the trial of elements
the portal isn't there on default, is it? :S
Man quests again so much to do still
Why blizzard allowed skipp8ng quests on first char
the chromie stuff takes like half an hour or something? 😄
Is out of my mind
skipping what quests
Camp
Camp?
it's fine to do the main story quests at least once
according to wowhead you dont even have to do shit, just get the Jump Start quest
It is but mandatory stuff shouldnt be skipable
Ye they changed it
Alt 4 had the Jump Start quest available as I got off the ship to the dragon isles. (Perhaps alt 3 had the same option - I didn't even think to check that fast). Definitely made to be alt friendly!) Alt 4 had the spark within 8 minutes. No fighting involved
Is there mandatory stuff that’s skippable?
if its skippable, its not mandatory...
youre contradicting yourself
well, nothing is mandatory... you could just gather herbs on the panda starting isle and don't even have to choose a faction 😛
good point
do whatever you enjoy and it'll be fine, i guess
untalented best specc
only spec noone is ever gonna complain about getting nerfs or shit
😂
Man it's extra bad now. it was bad enough in SL because you couldn't use legendaries, soulbinds, or tier
Now you are missing like 90% of your spells because they're all in the talent trees
lol
just wand your way to max level!
My friends carried me in a few 15s in SL. I think I topped out at 1k dps overall
My claim to fame was spam shackling mobs in Theater to stop their casts
shackle is baseline though? 😄
what a chad
never thought about what is baseline tbh
Tbh if u are in a class discord ur attention is to min max. so in that case gear is a prio. And majority do player is bot doing rp and stuff.
says who
i'm in the hunter discord and i don't even have a hunter toon 😄
yeah
@slate kestrel you wont be in a class discord if u only want to play the story and do rp
had to min max that char selection and informed myself to not pick a hunter, i guess?
🍿
#transmog all rp 😛
And this is imo just a small bunch if player which are not interested in pve and pvp content
i was still in disc when i unsubbed from craplands
doesn't mean anything
lets not generalize
Thats not the point
not sure if it is now but it was in SL
I had like...power word fort, shackle, pw:s, flash heal, and smite
and swp I think
and my cov ability (but no soulbind)
sounds like enough buttons to press
Yeah, you just didn't have any talents modifying anything, nor did I have a spec aura
So I did abysmal healing and damage
If you just want to quest ur not in a discord cuz u dont care. I have to ask for Information which are important in a discord cuz ingame is not showming me
youre generalizing still
we dont turn people away if they choose to do those things
I've been in Skyhold virtually non-stop since Legion and I haven't played a prot warrior since BFA
maybe they do care about being the right talents for pet battles, it doesnt matter
You can also be in a class disc just to chat with people

I'm here for the cuddles personally
🫂
the should add more blacksmith talent points to max out swordsmith stuff ... feels kinda meh just putting in points to improve overall skill after having done the 90 specialised ones 😦
Guys dont get me wrong. Its fine everyone can enjoy the game how they want. I just said i dont understand why i have to go back on my alt to enable the engine. This info i have to get from dc
idk you but I will cuddle the shit out of you, let's go
what engine are we talking about? Is this something I should've done already and failed to do because I don't read quests
the spark stuff
oh, yeah I haven't done that 😂
@warm plinth this
Alt 4 had the Jump Start quest available as I got off the ship to the dragon isles. (Perhaps alt 3 had the same option - I didn't even think to check that fast). Definitely made to be alt friendly!) Alt 4 had the spark within 8 minutes. No fighting involved
I'll probably get my sparks like next expansion or something idk
why would you bother about a spark if you don't even pick a specc?
what if I want 1337 gearz to show off in venaks;fjwe;wjeo
i took blacksmithing assuming it would give me a tiny gear bump early on - is there one specialization that's better for wars?
im talking to sLixmeister
I bet there's all kind of weird shit I can't do because I don't have a spec
I lvl my war just to have the option to pick when season starts
ghash can do whatever he wants, he's allowed
I know Nim, I'm just memeing
he has a permit
probably shield specc would be smart to repair your shield whenever... i picked sword spec though 😄
signed by himself
😂
it doesnt matter, crafting orders exist, you dont need to be BS at all
yes rise up as tailor main
public orders won't allow you to set a quality though, that sucks as a consumer
im still confused, why if you dont want to play your alt and go grab a quest that takes you 3 mins on a fully leveled dragon are you worried about the spark?
it doesnt matter, can you do max quality yourself?
@lusty grotto i dont know i have to do that
I think that would resolve a huge burden from public orders
Is if they let people set quality
still confused
Oh no, the quality conversation is back
do what
Run!
yeah, if you put a bit of effort in it 😄 ... at least for one item
Does anyone have a list of the best consumables for M+/raid?
Both the wowhead and icy-veins guides have consumable sections; I'd start there my friend
but that guy is asking way too early
Can you just use a toon to fulfill crafting orders?
I lvled by dungeons only now im max lvl and try to get the spark but i cant u Tell me i have to go back to the table in the startend area
sure
I am partial to icy-veins because Mwahi is a cutie but pick your poison
Thanks, wasn't sure how accurate they were as I've heard conflicting things
dude read what i just said
let me put it up
for the THIRD time
Nim
Alt 4 had the Jump Start quest available as I got off the ship to the dragon isles. (Perhaps alt 3 had the same option - I didn't even think to check that fast). Definitely made to be alt friendly!) Alt 4 had the spark within 8 minutes. No fighting involved
you must do it four times
Don't read make him do four.
Don't make me get your father
here's a fourth time for good measure
Alt 4 had the Jump Start quest available as I got off the ship to the dragon isles. (Perhaps alt 3 had the same option - I didn't even think to check that fast). Definitely made to be alt friendly!) Alt 4 had the spark within 8 minutes. No fighting involved
Yeah, if you have lvl60s just join waked shores and go to the spark quest easy
What do those code blocks look like on light mode
This is definitely not a trap to find out which of you weirdos use light mode
I know man u just have asked me why and i told u a thrid Tine
i have to say, i really respect your patience, nim 😄
👆
WAit, I know
Did it with some toons I don't even know I'll use, but hey, just in case
@sharp night what do code blocks look like on light mode
trust me i have the least amount of patience amongst the regulars here lmao
but ty
just normal
MY EYES

IT BURRRRRNS
gn Nimalicious
i hate those super rares...
They'll be irrelevant Tuesday/Wednesday anyway, but yeah same
giving mit 385 caster stuff and plate stays at 379 <.<
yeah
really looking forward to wednesday
Limited drop pool is kinda 🍑
I have a foolproof tactic for dealing with the frustration of those rares @slate kestrel
not doing them? 😄
I pretend they don't exist
Just don't do 'em
well, i'm just afking anyway... doesn't matter if i'm doing it near a rare spawn or in valdrakken
fair point
at least i have something to complain about!
and after all, what is life with nothing to complain about
what keys are you guys aiming for next week?
sorry for all the noob questions, still trying to learn prot. Heavy repercussion is also never worth taking? Easier to maintain block and on bosses if we're in a mostly ranged group it's only maybe 4% haste?
It is definitely worth taking if block up-time is a factor.
hi what item should i craft first?
ok cool while i'm still learning, it's better for pure survival than into the fray haste bonus?
whatever you feel comfortable with tbh
thx will try testing them out next week and try not to wipe too many ppl's keys pushing lol
do most of yall veterans hit +15s the very first week of the season?
15s for sure, i guess
If your learning u should defsult to HR
great gonna take it now. Any of yall stream regular key pushing? I should watch some runs to learn them
HR helps cover rotational issues. Which is why it's better for learning than ITF.
wow ff 15 truly sucks for me
While ITF because it's haste is more rage and lower cooldown on SS and SB
Shield/Sword.
Which means if your playing well ITF is technically better. That being said I still take HR build in dungeons to easy mode block and slap more revenge and TC
You forgot thr all important
Am I lazy as fuck about block to do more damage HR
How is block uptime a rotational issue? Is there any chance to affect block uptime w/o HR?
Bolster
Do we get necessary coverage for a dungeon with bolster and shield charge alone?
Huh?
Basically people rage starving themselves, not refreshing etc.
We don't really need bolster it just feels comfy for some people. My m0s I ran I never had any issue but they are m0s
I read that as „you can get full block coverage w/o HR if u play well“. Or do i get that wrong
rule of thumb right now seems to be you need ~two shield block talents
Shield charge helps too with block time with its capstone.
Without HR you need to be more precise to stay safe by making use of your SB and shield charge to keep block uptime. Which is where bolster is comfy for those gaps
Enduring defenses is a must take as well adding another 2 seconds on doesn't sound like much but ita huge
it looks to me like you give up too much to take bolster if you're only switching to it so you can take ITF over HR
I'm back
good
if u take ITF
