Which Im looking

limpid anchor
#

Rank 2 is the best rn

#

Price / value wise

fathom goblet
#

I know there are green ones

#

And blue anos

#

How do I know the ranks

wide dragon
#

Is it better to stay in Def stance, battle stance, or stance dance? Like is sitting in Def stance for a long time murdering my potential?

spice axle
#

quick question, at how many targets its better to spend outburst on thunder clap instead of shield slam? (offensively)

fathom goblet
#

@wide dragon use def stance as a buff when you need

#

There is no CD

#

You can use on and off

fast knot
#

flick for tankbusters and big mob hits in M+

#

otherwise battle for gigadam

craggy pilot
#

is this too BM? πŸ˜„

wide dragon
#

so just treat it as a DR toggle buff?

fathom goblet
#

You can change whenever you want

fathom goblet
#

Use it as a defensive cooldown

#

With no cooldown

wide dragon
#

ok cool

#

Thanks!

cursive hedge
#

Which nameplate addon do you guys use? Threatplates or Plater?

earnest nymph
#

plater

fathom goblet
#

Plater seems the winner

severe hatch
#

Plater

craggy pilot
cursive hedge
#

oh! good to know

craggy pilot
#

just find a good profile, otherwise its a hazzle to setup

severe hatch
#

Nothing wrong with threatplates, just less customizable

earnest nymph
#

you can find profiles and mods on wago.io

cursive hedge
#

is there a recommended profile that i can import?

mellow quartz
#

did you notice the updated tier list on wowhead is posted by "wowhead" instead of an individual author as usual? I have a feeling they didn't want someone to get attacked lol

craggy pilot
#

this is the one i went with

+1 Quazii has a great, free profile

omg Quazii the god! Im so glad he's back on wow

How's everyone feel about this additional 5% nerf?

Waaa prot op

how many clicks you think the tier list gets vs other posts? πŸ™‚

lusty tiger

#

Huge #s

#

Parsing on your minds

mellow quartz
#

if you want them to stop, don't click them

craggy pilot
#

why they dont just release a tier list like this πŸ˜„

#

would be so much better

slim dove
#

its clicks for ad views.

#

just dont click them

This guy doesn’t even know how to farm

lets screenshot it, and share it in here, so we only have 1 click instead of 1000 clicks

Need to start putting soy faces on it too

And go β€œlook at xyz”

I like how they have a tank and dps tier list for raid, but only a tank tier list for m+ and a big F you for healers

craggy pilot

i hope that you complain though!

mellow quartz
craggy pilot

C tier tho

#

and i usually raid with no weapon, since i open all vaults in Prot loot πŸ˜„

#

For all you tanks out there, WHICH dungeons do you actually plan on talenting into Spell Block for?

#

I'm looking at the sheet right now, some dungeons have a lot of stuff that you can't reflect but you CAN block

fast knot
#

If you take a fissure on Tyrannical you're probably fuckin dead above like a 20 lol

edgy bone
craggy pilot
#

yes

fast knot
#

fairly certain that's the aoe you're supposed to run out from unless I'm gigadumb

edgy bone
#

Why

#

i thought TOugh AS Nails was a huge dps increase

slim dove
#

please dont take spellblock so you can just ignore ground aoes lmao

urban portal
#

depends on how powerful some of these spells are hitting

craggy pilot
#

none then

toxic pewter
#

I don’t know about spell block I haven’t used it much but I do see potential in it especially climbing higher…

edgy bone
urban portal
#

if its like noodle hits then who cares

craggy pilot
#

Spell Block probably not worth

urban portal
#

if you are playing a 25 week one then you are too good to ask questions here

edgy bone
fast knot
#

I don't think it's worth

toxic pewter
#

These dungeons do have a lot of magic dam

#

So I think there is value to be had

#

That’s for sure

edgy bone
fast knot
#

boss casts shouldn't be piping that hard and most packs are cc angles from other players

edgy bone
#

Definitely agree on value to be had

shut summit
#

as keys go up you'll start lookin at goin more defensive and spell block is part of that

slim dove
#

your party will die before spellblock saves you

fast knot
#

plus yourself

edgy bone
#

It's funny seeing all these opinions, it's so divided

#

half the people are shouting it's useless

#

other half says there's good value

toxic pewter
#

I believe all climbers will spell block perhaps every dungeon even

fast knot
#

At much higher keys for sure

urban portal
#

the higher you go the more likely you need it

craggy pilot
#

how high keys do you do @edgy bone

edgy bone
#

There is A LOT of chain casting from packs in this dragonflight

fast knot
#

but like early week keys you shouldn't need it

edgy bone
fast knot
#

assuming your party is locking down caster packs

toxic pewter
#

I gotta find a new keybind for it now that I think about lol..

craggy pilot
lone eagle
#

I think in a world where pwar doesn't reasonably have 100% IP uptime in multitarget packs, spell block is useful comparative to other tank toolkits

edgy bone
toxic pewter
#

Yah even with latest nerfs spell block gained even more value perhaps

lone eagle
#

But we're in a world where IP is more or less up constantly, which means pwar has a better mitigative toolkit into a lot of spellcasts than most tanks

craggy pilot
# edgy bone no

i guess you gain KSM every season and push towards +20 end of season or something like that?

#

which is like the general Warrior discord player

edgy bone
#

Take Nok'hud for example

craggy pilot
#

and in that case, there is not too much value in Spell Block

edgy bone
#

LOOK how many spells are blockable but NOT reflectable in NokHud

#

you can't tell me that's not value in tyrannical weeks

toxic pewter
#

Yah nokhud seems like good spell block dungeon

slim dove
lone eagle
#

So I think Spellblock, barring some very specific examples (especially since they nerfed how Spell Block as a mechanic works) is overkill

#

It's win more

limpid anchor
#

yo when is NA maintance over?

slim dove
toxic pewter
#

1pm central estimated

limpid anchor
craggy pilot
#

in boss you can just Spell Reflect

lone eagle
#

Going into Dragonflight they made it so that spell block like mechanics (paladin holy shield is the other one) work on less types of spells and no longer trigger on DoT ticks, IIRC

#

Would have to find the post

edgy bone
#

Let me rephrase my question then: Are there any dungeons or bosses, similar to Tyrannical-Medivh, where spell block is a MUST?

toxic pewter
#

Spell block in raid any good even?

lone eagle
#

If we ran into a Medivh encounter, it'd definitely be good

fast knot
#

I don't think so realistically

toxic pewter
fast knot
#

and if it was mandatory

#

other tanks are gonna get absolutely murked

craggy pilot
#

@edgy bone even though something is not Reflectable, Spell Reflect is still a 20% DR, which is quite huge for a big tank hit

edgy bone
#

i thought we're the worst tank at dealing with magic dmg

fast knot
#

so they'd probably tune those encounters

slim dove
#

dont forget you can just hop into def stance for big magic hits πŸ™‚

fast knot
#

Not even close

lone eagle
#

~Sep 9th

fast knot
#

spell reflect/defensive stance/Demo shout?

edgy bone
lone eagle
#

It's a buff in some scenarios

craggy pilot
fast knot
#

ye for sure

lone eagle
#

ie composite attacks

fast knot
#

was gonna say those three are like always up though

#

Wall is a really short cooldown

lone eagle
#

but it's a nerf into DoT damage, which was an EXCEPTIONALLY strong usecase for spellblock mechanics

fast knot
#

If you still get blasted through all that

craggy pilot
#

or healer external

fast knot
#

Lightning Strike is not much damage and you should be purging boss if you can

#

to clear Surge

slim dove
craggy pilot
#

"but blockable"

#

just stand still and block, true warrior dream

slim dove
# craggy pilot πŸ˜„

or party-wide effects that if you need spell block to survive? just one shotted your whole party

craggy pilot
fast knot
#

Just because damage intake is a healer problem doesn't mean you should make their lives harder for no reason πŸ™‚

What about AoE shield well

strong forum
#

If its infrequent, then we have plenty of CDs to deal with it render it harmless

#

Same thing with brew, if it's infrequent, then they don't care too much about magic dmg, issue is when they run out of CDs to deal with it

#

It's not the fact that it's magic

#

It's the frequency that matters

edgy bone
#

ok so we suck at

#

continuous magic damage

craggy pilot
strong forum
#

Ya, if you eat 1 frostbolt that hits for 300k its whatever, if you eat 7 frostbolts back to back to back for 50k, that sucks

craggy pilot
#

or the spells from DOS etc

#

no clue if there is something similar to Wicked Bolts Halls, or DOS casts in DF πŸ€” maybe Nome knows that better

mighty valley
#

any time there's a debate of "is X defensive talent good" the conversation should really be "what talent would you drop to take X defensive talent and is the switch actually helping you time the key"

strong forum
sharp bone
fast knot
#

if you get blasted on a pack and your dps didn't do anything to help you

#

that's on them

craggy pilot
fast knot
#

assuming you played it well enough but just got smoked

worldly kiln
#

dumb question, but during a decent size pull (+2 packs ish) are people just relying on knowledge of what mobs have interuptable casts, watching all the nameplates, and clicking the one that casts? idk if it's just me by my brain explodes trying to click on specific mobs or super tab targeting to whatever mob is casting. Trying to figure out if im just bad at this or if there's a better way

strong forum
#

That's why lots of casts are now the dps

#

Not just the tank

#

But the tank will still get the blame

edgy bone
#

for highlighting dangerous mobs

sharp bone
#

yeah love that shift in design philosophy

#

well yeah the tank or healers are always to blame

#

but still it helps if dps dont interrupt they die instead of the tank

fast knot
#

A lot of knowledge comes in there like knowing the dangerous mobs in a pack

#

if you double pull academy bridge as an example and let a Scepter go off

#

you're gonna have a bad time

auto marker is a godsend

worldly kiln

ok so it really is just an encounter/dungeon knowledge thing

wary heath

Are the severs up? I decided not to take PTO expecting them to be down

worldly kiln

is auto marker DBM or a seperate addon

fast knot

Trell has really in depth videos on every dungeon if you want the comprehensive view of every dungeon

craggy pilot

or a plater profile that colours important shit

with like breakdowns of every pack

Ah ok, i'll have to look into those then

#

Tactyks is a very small YouTube that has m+ tank walk through of every dungeon , and routes for pugs

craggy pilot
craggy pilot
fast knot
#

They do mark the actual important targts

#

it's just some mobs have multiple casts

#

like the Dominators in Shadowmoon

craggy pilot
#

also, i usually take my MDT route and screenshot it, and put it in paint on my 2nd monitor, so i know what to pull/skip, until i am comfy with the route

fast knot
#

kicking Domination is fuckin illegal

#

but Voidrend is super important

#

my boosted dps are going to learn that lesson one way or another πŸ˜†

marble oak
#

My friend plays prot warrior he said he cant find what stance he needs to be in, does prot mostly stay in defensive or battle stance? and He also seems to lack alot of his aoe damage any tips on improving that?

lusty grotto
#

he should be in battle stance, unless hes doing extremely high keys

#

and/or taking big damage

craggy pilot
lusty grotto

and logs might help to see what hes doing aoe wise

The pins say FbV over BV while it's bugged. Is it still bugged? All the guides I've seen show BV.

Your survivability is pretty heavily dictated by how well your group wants to help control packs in higher keys

What Phials do we use in M+/raid

can we get an @ everyoneinprotection when Plka goes live? peepostudy

worldly kiln
#

maybe I got lucky, but overall seemed like people clicked the button more

fast knot
#

kicks are good but you need shit like chaos nova, leg sweep and aoe stuns for caster packs

#

especially with Raging if you don't have an evoker to just mass soothe

craggy pilot
vernal vale
#

My routes are always press W and chain pull.

lusty grotto
#

vault is the only exception with a few skips

vernal vale
#

By the time one pack is dead we should be at the next pack already

lusty grotto
#

and even then they arent really complicated

craggy pilot
#

fuck that AOE ground shit

vernal vale
#

That's thier problem not mine

fast knot
#

I think the only dungeon that could be convoluted is court

craggy pilot

because too many people are used to Legion count

lusty grotto

ehh

fast knot

and are going to be short

but that's like one key to learn

well most of us know the legion route

CoS get to RP with 92% that's all I remember

lusty grotto

mostly in mini boss area

I never really went south of bridge in Legion

to get the packs down the stairs

craggy pilot
#

never done CoS before, im scared :>

lusty grotto
#

you just pulled specific things, could skip imps cause people couldnt LoS for shit etc

fast knot
#

was the biggest difference because I didn't want to really deal with courtyard demons

lusty grotto

it also depends on professions

craggy pilot

hoping i get an insta CoS key, so i can practice it low

legion was almost 6 years ago...i forgot it all

lusty grotto

so did it, but it comes back

anyone know if this will effect the RWF somehow? are they going straight into Heroic for loot or what?

like how many days of M+ farm will they do before Mythic prog?

they might farm in parallel

Which Embellishments should i use/Spark should i craft on?
1st of all, the power target for Embellishments seems to be around 0.5%-1% power gain over having none at all, so theyre not that important to have the ABSOLUTE best one.

The so far known "Best" Embellishment is considered the "Elemental Lariat" Necklace.
The "Infurious Helmet of Vengeance" was very strong on beta, i dont know yet how strong its on Live, probably also just around 1% dmg output on average.
❗ Rest is TBD. ❗
"Armor Spikes" has been buffed recently, it now procs alot more frequently albeit for less damage than before.

What’s so haha about it?

Oh good you answered the question with the answer you found

And what stats we crafting on gear

wait is vers=crit new?

mighty valley

haste/crit or haste/vers

strong forum

crit was always good, but since we have now interactions with crit besides parry, its gotten better ye

lean gale

So haste/crit if you are a chad and haste/vers when you be a wuss=

strong forum
#

pmuch

#

was already the cast last xpansion

worldly kiln
#

damn heck ya

#

haste/vers for years was getting so old

mighty valley
#

vers is more consistent, better against burst + magic damage. crit is more damage and parry

strong forum
#

it was antiquated ever since bfa ended

jade panther
worldly kiln
#

and i have better gear to use when i log on now

strong forum
#

its just people holding onto the thought that vers has a seriously meaningful impact

#

back from when you had 90% vers

jade panther
#

so just put haste everywhere ,

uneven mason
strong forum
#

you want to avoid getting more haste at 40% because of the introduced stat DRs

40% before buffs*

Does parry have a DR or something

strong forum

yes

uneven mason

all stats have DR

open gazelle
toxic pewter

wait dr in terms of damage reduction or diminishing returns

uneven mason
#

The more of a stat you have, the less value is has relative to the last point

strong forum
#

i mean you just get less parry for more crit

#

at some point

#

dunno which point

#

but you do

mighty valley
uneven mason
#

DR in terms of dminishing returns

toxic pewter
#

ya

mighty valley
#

oh wait i see

toxic pewter
#

I guess diminishing returns is a given considering the context of 100% lol

uneven mason
#

We prefer the term "Mitigation" as opposed to "Damage reduction"

toxic pewter

that works

Is Honed Reflexes (HR) a flat 1 sec or does stats/other external factors change it?

Yes deflect

Spark Use for Shield and Sword is ok or dumb?

lusty grotto
#

precisely because it desyncs Demo

#

if you macro avatar and DS you will potentially overcap rage and lose

you will also put a gcd in with off-gcds which is not really recommended

aw i though we get 2 sparks this week

# lusty grotto no

was going off the talent builds that are posted here and on wowhead and both have thunderlord?

#

i mean, its rage, dr and damage increase?

grave crane
#

I take thunder lord for more demo shots

#

Shouts

silent anchor
#

its in every build posted near enough, im just wondering why nimchip is saying not too. why would u not press it on cd. more demo shout is good

grave crane
#

I don’t care if it desycs I can hold it if I need to and if I don’t need to I can just send it on cd anyway

#

Everyone’s got a reason I imagine just do what you want tbh

#

And what I want is to spam demo shout on cd

rancid ember
#

45 sec shout + 45 sec shield charge + lines up with Avatar. You can sync Trink / Battle potions as well.

#

Tlords allows for it to be desynced but not really a huge deal. Just play how you want

inland mesa
odd tree
#

Tlord works with booming, both are great for m+, what would you spend the point in otherwise?

loud patrol
#

ye

lusty grotto
#

just go with the linked builds

#

if you dont really want to optimize its probably the best way

silent anchor
lusty grotto
#

even with TLords macroing them together is a bad bad idea

#

which was the initial statement

silent anchor
#

before you commented

#

n which your initial statement didnt make any mention of, im just wondering why and where u put it otherwise if your "optimizing"

#

i know, but i like to see others builds and hear reasoning why, it can improve your own play. always way to improve

lusty grotto
#

battering ram

silent anchor
lusty grotto
#

yeah mooman is correct

silent anchor
#

battering ram seems like a good choice, ill give it a try and see how it is.

#

i wasnt trying to get at anything but if someone is telling me to not use something that every build tells you to use....i wanna know why.

#

not just "no we dont use that" n thats it

lusty grotto
#

TL is just good for beginners honestly

#

just send and forget

silent anchor
#

send it on cd

#

every time

#

ill check out battering ram. i dont feel ill need bolster etc for the moment

heavy temple
#

what is TL?

heavy temple
#

ah okay

lusty grotto
#

there you go

#

if you want to min max pulls the desync makes it tedious

silent anchor
#

makes prefect sense

#

n shield charge is just boss

heavy temple
#

given optimal play, should every 2nd avater line up with your cds?

lusty grotto
#

but the desync is not an issue for average players

lusty grotto
#

dont worry

#

i'll probably swap to TL until we figure out dps cds on pulls

silent anchor
#

wont be using TL in raid

lusty grotto
#

though that shouldn't take long

#

yeah you shouldn't in raid for sure

lusty grotto
#

should be every 2nd

#

@heavy temple you're correct

Ah, I'm just talking avatar and demo

lusty grotto

well yeah he said CDs

#

avatar should be up for every demo and shield charge yes

#

yeah

lusty grotto
#

every 2nd avatar will be up for those AND Rav + Roar

well

it should be every 3rd avatar really

im pretty sure a pvper can help you

they probably have all the @weak kettle tech

sorry whoever that was lol

might be best to add harm,exists to the @mouseover part

so you dont try to pummel friendly units if your mouse is over it

though, it should fire anyway because its pummel

When you guys have somebody make lariats, do you infuse it, or just do the stats?

stat priority is pinned, and I believe crit is generally favored over verse, granted the gap between them isn't large

median tulip

#

Imo, if you're newer, go verse over crit.

lucid dew

Well def haste but I mean for the other

radiant path
#

Verse is more forgiving

wary heath
#

people shit on verse here I think slightly too much, with all of our self healing now, it's great

median tulip
#

the less you have of one, the more valuable it is. If you have ZERO versa and 1000 crit, 1 point of versa will be better than 1 more point of crit, for example

cobalt ring worth the stat loss?

If your Crit, Vers and Mastery are all roughly in the same ballpark, then you're about right

There's no breakpoints or magic numbers than make something work, and having any particular level of a secondary won't make you better at the game

its ilvl > everything, focus on haste when comparing equal ilvl stats

**Question at the Stance Swap Macro: **
Can someone tell me why the icons of battle stance and defensive stance are swapped in this macro? For example when the stance bar AND Buff Bar shows i'm IN Defensive Stance, the Macro shows the Defensive Stance Icon. I know it must but to indicate what the next button push is going to activate but im mildly infuriated by this macro icon not being in line icon wise with the rest... how to fix!? πŸ™ˆ πŸ˜‚
