So yes, Tier set from any of the slots
i always gear up the last one

ty, I did but didn't see the raid section
so to add the extra two gem sockets to necklace I need the rank 2 and rank 3 of Tiered Medallion Setting?
looks like the rank 3 is for ilvl 415 stuff
any stinky thinkies on spellblock for the raid yet?
any fights its giga value
or nah
check the sheet?
do we put crit haste on crafted gear or haste vers?
personal choice
cheers
I checked the first 3 pins and didn’t find the answer so it’s not there
🤔
check out www dot icy veins dot com slash wow slash protection warrior pve tank builds talents
scroll down dude its there ! trust me !
can someone put all the important information in front of me please, i already took the effort to find the class discord
How much do I need to shoulder press to tank +10? I don’t want my guild to think I’m weak
135 military press should be enough
did some keys today, there's a lot of damage flying around :D
Get something thst tells you what to kick if you dont know the dungeons
Plater mod for DF
Or something
but about to do raid, so trying to figure out a build - I assume the raid one from the icy veins one is fine?
or pins
cool yeah saw those as well, I'll look a bit what's different - thanks!
anyone having the initializing issues again 
Is it worth doing the weekly stuff anymore, trials, feasts etc?
yup, got 2 392 pieces from them this week
ohh noice 😮
thing is u can do them later in the week
also have world bosses too now, hope their loot scales as well
after u have even more gear
First thing Rage wasted is way to high. Which means your not hitting buttons and that's the second thing your CPM is still low.
I am little confused on crafting the neck. I have rank 3 materials. If I do a public order how do I know what quality I will get? I don't see an option to ask for a higher quality
You cant.
Need to find a crafter who can guarantee then put in a personal order.
Afaik.
Your blocked hits are low considering how easy we can keep shield block up now.
u guys make ur own m+ routes or use others'? if so, who's a reliable route provider?
in BV still better than Fueled by Violecne?
fbv is handy for pulling or no uptime situations
@strong forum have you been running IO at all?
O ya
Who pulls the packs?
Are you tanking a majority of the mobs?
Does divine toll ever rip threat (if pallys even take that)?
yes
If i could get anything... ANYTHING besides trinkets to drop, that would be great, thanks.
So I imagine the damage is lower because you’re getting aoe shield throws, Sigil, shockwave(maybe?), incap roar(maybe?)
got a shield from the weekley ;_;
which weekly calc? accord? 😮 what ilvl?
Which spec is crom playing?
382 
Only reason to play Prot Pally is the endorphins rush you get when you hit that button lol.
Hard agree
any1 know ppm for bloods of khansguard?
wow, battle scarred scale seems so damn weak
it's literally there because my previous trinket was like 320
and it's 379
the moment I get a good one it's gonna be an ilvl stick in my bag
Yeah it's very bad sadly.
is it worth running rares now still? do they scale with your ilvl? cheers
same answer yes
cool ty 😄
Question on the WoWHead BIS List. It shows Mythic gear as BIS (obviously). Would it be generally the same list, if it were Normal Raid?
Ilvl dependent
If you have a 405 piece from mythics is better than the gear from@normal
Etc etc
right
Forget BiS
Get items
Equip highest ilvl
got it, thanks
so dont like 'try to shoot' for specific stuff? just put on whatever is highest
If you have multiple pieces of the same ilvl then equip better itemized pieces
slap on everything higher
I mean obviously there are “best” items from a raid that you’d want
glad my first M+ drops have all been neck pieces
Thoughts on spell block for m+? Do y'all run it? And if so what dungeons?
6 in a row
For example gavel last tier as a dps
But in the meantime you just equip whatever is an upgrade
Lol
awesome, thanks
And as a tank it’s even simpler
Ilvl is king
With the slight exceptions of jewelry and trinkets
Not by default, for sure
does anyone know what two pieces of gear i should make and what embellishment should i add?
when I pulled big in Brackhide and saw the number of casts I thought "hmm, this might make me try spell block and/or the interrupt shout" and then I remember it's not even in the rotation yet
Pin says it doesn’t matter, .5-1% upgrade
I’d probably assume shield would be one of them
Question, is there a reason we arent taking Bloodborn? Given a larger emphasis on our bleed damage?
Yeah, some of the higher magic damage dungeons might warrant it in higher level keys
not very efficient per talent point
But for now we're chilling
Opportunity cost
Spell block seemed pretty strong option for halls of valor
It’s not a bad talent per se but the trade off isn’t advantageous
yeah, try and figure out what two points you'd drop for it - they're likely good points
Bloodborne is a good talent but we have so many good talents
Understood — it’s a matter of what else we’d have to give up vs take it
i'm getting flashbacks to watching MTG streams where chat would always say "why don't you run X card, it seems good"
and the answer was always "what would you cut for it"
That makes sense
Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t remember it being that crazily bad in legion to where I wished I had more magic mitigation
Are y’all still taking FBV given the bug?
Ye
YES
wow, rockslide is STOKED about fbv
sorry I meant i take BV
I started playing in end of bfa, so I didn’t get to play legion but in a 7 halls The boss to the left hits like a t Truck, I tried spell block during his storm phase and it was pretty good, but I get it, seems pretty niche
the wording confused me, there was no nerf
Hyrja?
What about bsv is it thats bugged?
it's not bsv, it's bruv
Brutal Vit is bugged
bruv scared veteran? xD
BRUtalVitality
Yea, Um it kept deleting the entire group, I had to solo the last 15%, which I’m not sure why, guess bad healing by the mistweaver I was wihh to
it's bruv, bruv
BV still contributes to a lot of healing if you are spamming IP
in harder keys your shield isn't staying up lol
Hyrja was notorious for one shotting dps and healers
You would literally swap to prydaz for survival back in legion

It certainly did that. Spell block saved me for when everyone was dead and I was hit with another phase, even when sitting in the dome the tick hits hard
i haven't done hov yet, of the dungeons i've done I think algethar tree boss is the one that strikes me as a problem at high keys/tyrannical
but i'm still climbing
Is there settled strategy on whether to start her left or right side?
I'm confused, people are meming so much its hard to keep track of wtf is actually legit or not.
So Fueled by violence OR Brutal vitality?
And why is battle scared veteran bugged? In what way?
Isn’t it fort this week?
Iirc left
At least that’s what most groups did back in legion
Group told me left every time, because right side was one shot city
Okay, thats what I thought
Anyone know if there's a tool that can show/highlight the differences between two talent trees? I find it difficult to compare like 50 buttons when there are 2 differences.
I use brutal vitality, blizz nerfed it for a reason, it's good interaction
Or rather, thats what my gut told me
BSV is not bugged. The choice node is between FBV or Brutal Vitality, which we struggle to stick an acronym for, I like bruv. bruv is bugged still where if you ever cap out your current IP, bruv no longer contributes to it
The retina

until it's dropped and you cast it again
Sorry I’m feeling snarky today
it works if you also refill your IP with a fresh cast
Its 2 different questions. I'm willing to sacrifice a point in SC capstone for BSV but i want to remember nom said it was bugged
people are too dramatic about it, like they are sitting at max IP shields all day in 10+ keys
There was a point when it was trigger on damage pre mitigation
So still do BruV over the other?
it's still up in the air about which one contributes more but it's also not a big enough difference to justify how much we angst over it in here lmao
FBV is also good, you can run dungeons with each and see how much the healing is
Kk
What M+ would be a good starting point/doable with 382 iLv as prot? Never done M+ before
So it would pop on a normal melee despite being 100% hp
But I don’t think it’s doing that anymore
I'm outhealing the healer either way
depends a lot on your group, just start running up your own key and see where it gets hard
Is it fixed though? I feel like it would be a nice set of training wheels so to speak
Got it, thanks 🙂
the only bug on it..is once you hit your MAX IP (which doesn't always happen) ....it will not continue to build
Yeah, prot warrior is the easiest tank I've ever played
ye, ye but the thing is? I dont care what everyone else says they're doing +20 naked and shit. I'm not. My group is certainly not.
Ok
But you literally don’t sit in defensive stance
And you shouldn’t be taking damage
And whatever damage you do take is healed right back up from leach and indom
Yeh, on paper that sounds great bro. Have you tried doing any m+ today?
Doesn't sound like it.
guys where can i find the best build for damage in the different raid bosses?
I'm happy for you and them, that they are so great they dont take damage.
guaranteed replies
I'm not talking about reducing AAs lmao
I'm not. my group is not. And my pugs wont be either.
"take no damage" is definitely exaggerated if your group isn't kicking everything and stunning things that can't be kicked
What is the strategy you guys employ for the last pull before the final boss in Temple of the Jade Serpent?
The point I’m making is that prot isn’t a spec that needs extra “training wheels”
assign kicks to 2 fear mobs, rotate AOE stuns, focus one at a time while cleaving
there is damage outside of interruptable spells, and melee auto attacks, news flash
and yeah, it's raging week, if dps aren't being smart you can get chunked
If this isn’t happening BSV isn’t saving you
We can agree to disagree on that.
Sounds reasonable, I definitely felt like I needed more aoe stun ability
it literally is though, all of this is a sliding scale of key level/group competency/ilvl
me, i'm not taking bsv because A) i trust my group, B) we have a lot of other recovery tools already, and C) it's really hard to drop points at the bottom of the tree
I don't think bsv is needed I'll agree
What are ya'll taking instead of Battle Scarred Veteran? Punish?
It might save you once, but it’s not going to prevent your death if your group isn’t doing their part
guys please 🙂 where can i find talents optimised for the various bosses of the raid?
All this talk in a vaccum what is needed or not. It's, i dont know the word for it.. delusional? Not in touch with reality? Living in their own top 100 bubble?
if your group is generally good but there's a misclick/brainfart/accidental pull?
i mean cmon, in MDI they run cheat deaths, there are obviously ways to use a powerful defensive CD
is it often worth what you're giving up? no, but it's not insane to take while people are learning dungeons early in the season and mistakes are more common
I mean we’ve been through the conversation around BSV several times
General consensus always ends up “sure you can take it, but it’s certainly not needed even in high keys”
bsv isn't a cheat death
Yeh and its always been everyone memeing "prot warrior dont take damage" when in reality? Its a few of you thats playing on a level above everyone else with groups that are on par with that.
Everyone else? They had a wake up call today.
How many in here have done a +15 yet?
not literally, but there are some similar use cases
It doesn’t take a high level of play to be a solid tank
And if you’re talking about 15s…..
hello i am joining in the middle of this conversation
i think the wakeup call is that you need to press shield block based on the actions of tanks i've seen while healing on an alt
Of course you’re probably taking more damage than you think you should
Welcome to early m+ EVERY first season
Gear makes a significant difference
I'm actually managing quite fine so far. I just think you're ignoring its day 1, people are undergeared, dont know what they're doing and so on.
yeah, in a few weeks we'll mostly be rocking 400 ilvl
BIG jump from 370s alot of people are at
anyway the debate isn't necessary. generally, work to get to a place where BSV isn't good. if it makes you more comfortable to take it now, go for it. don't be weird and berate anyone who's taking it
my only death so far was getting knocked off've one of the algethar platforms on purpose thinking charge would save me
it didn't
and bsv sadly would not have helped there
no path available 
I wouldn’t call saying “you don’t need it” and “prot being a training wheel spec currently already” berating
we had 40 deaths before reaching boss 2
wasnt a single dungeon either
not me but the group
So it’s been a mostly wasted point investment

Thanks for proving the point
i literally said i have not been running bsv
yeah another strike against bsv is that in this phase of key learning, the rest of the group is under way more threat than the tank
hey guys, currently with the nerf to lariat, which are the best safest crafts first?
honestly a lot of the time you'd be faster just wiping up and going again rather than grinding it out as the last one standing
just had first boss in Temple have its graphics stuck when she cast the beam but it was still going behind the scenes and nuked everyone
fun times, happened 2 times in a row
funny trend of game development that the old content is way more likely to be fucked up and broken than the new stuff
I died the first time I did that last night bc I wasn't ready for the speed of him turning now.
gotta look where itaims, strafe right, and walk left
yeh and the biggest reason for our deaths was bruteforcing and not kicking everything etc.
I dunno. Obvs play better is always the right answer but I feel there gotta be some compromise too. It isn't all black and white
the solution is literally play better...
mark stuff, call out kicks
assign stuns
Also I keep wanting to pull like it's the old-school challenge mode.
Yeh, thats what I said lol. But its also such an easy thing to say "just dont make mistakes" ok, cool. I'll keep that in mind.
its a very easy thing to say.
practice with the same group
dont be afraid of failure
Missed kicks/stuns and heals not knowing dmg profile is what's resulted in dps death. Week 1 of the season, so expected
I'm not but it also makes it sound like i'm making mistakes on purpose xD
Temple does also seem a bit rough compared to other dungeons too tbf
I'd happily swap out something for BSV when damage doesn't really matter for timing the key and learning what will one shot you is what matters for consistency in playing well.
I'd rather proc BSV and carry on than die, and eventually you won't proc BSV in higher keys and you can drop it
Timing keys is very simple
If you want to learn and be consistent, then this week is literally just play safe and hold W a pack or two at a time and don’t die
^
but m-muh key speedrun, why can't I +3 20s like I was at the end of last xpack during WEEK 1
Learning your limits though
You’ll learn your limits through trial and error
It’s fine to fail
That being said
Yep, and that's what BSV is a nice safety net I feel
If you’re playing safe
To let you fail safely for a bit
tell that to half of the fotm 15 pushers
And which aren’t
And then you naturally start saying we can go faster
And double or triple pull here
if you're not doing the MDI pulls you're actively trolling
Without the need to use BSV because you’re making wild assumptions
or something like that
It's not too wild to think the last pull of temple won't clap you, it's just 1 pack
But it definitely will the first time you go there
Doubts are spread around third boss room though
if people see mistweaver that ticked people out with cast because someone was late on kicking
they'll probably sooth that and potentially leave you to take a couple slashes that are Raging
guys please raid is starting, what is a good dps oriented raid build?
oh cool you can spell reflect dark claw. get ruined losers

Wait...what?
Pins
It’s like we have tools or something
Mob uses literally any ability, might not even be a spell ...me: hits spell reflect
Spell reflect is fantastic
the max parse build?
I accidently spell reflect random crap all the time
if you're trying to max parse week 1 you're doing it wrong
if I don't know the packs yet I generally just press SR the second I see a cast bar
which probably means i'm reflecting some piddly bolt before the tank buster
spell reflect leg sweep ez pvp wins
why is leg sweep on there
I'm thinking that's probably what happened
Should I be taking Shockwave over Roar for higher keys?
due to just getting blasted due to poor soothe coverage
i will say that it's hard to internalize the important stuff on the sheet without doing the dungeon
take roar and shockwave
take both, take the roar capstone for bleed damage
because that was getting through for massive damage
don't use shockwave as a dps cd
And was this through block?
Because that seems fairly extreme assuming it was
Ah okay thank you
temple pack damage is over tuned in some areas
that blue means "blockable by spell block"
gottem
I've spec'd into spell block since then, the only scary thing is magic damage really atm
Especially in there, 3rd boss, those packs
i'm not above 10s yet but i'm still not willing to give up tough as nails
i spell reflect holy radiance to heal MY party for 30% max hp
SW, SR, and demo shout have tiny CDs for babies, haven't felt a lack of overall dr%
Probably when you get to 15s you'll want another button to fill in gaps that ignore pain easily covers atm
never give up tough as nails !!
We're still the tankiest (least susceptible to bursts of damage) of all the tanks at the moment.
I'd trade another 5% on IP for their burst damage NGL
Honestly the best safety net you have rn is probably defensive stance
there's usually a key level where tank survivability becomes the group bottleneck but at least in the DF dungeons it seems like unhealable unstoppable group damage will get there first
you can go against the mold and just sit in defensive stance, timed keys this week is about DPS idiots not dying, not the TANKS dps
^
but if we're not dying in battle stance anyway, might as well shorten the pack's lifespan
That’s where I would start if I was worried about survival tbh
anything above 10, my ass is mostly in defensive stance until im not 370 ilvl anymore lmao
i've gotten 6 neck pieces so far as my loot
so im strugglin
because it reads so well, and has two meaningful effects. I assume this trinket is very very bad
that's how blizz operates

its 1ppm, you can check on wowhead.
yes its dogshit
Is it? Why does wowhead suggest it as bis then?
What should we craft?
"wowhead"?
isnt it very good?
And what about the life seed? Getting stacks and then max health, the stack generation is so low tho
theres dozens of bad guides on wowhead.
unless it's season 1 blood spattered scale, in which case it was just overtuned by 2x
this thing proc'd an entire 6 times in a 6 min dummy trial
I just chcked and cant find it anymore, so i probably checked wrong before
well........ it does say a low chance
😄
Anyone know what i should craft with my first 2 sparks?
Thanks I was now talking bout the life seed trinket, when hit you get stacks, on use spend up to 6 stacks, gain max hp temp and something else
rn your looking to snipe all-totem and possibly grieftorch.
alot of m+ tanks are making 405 weps
Asking vuz i got a good ilvl for it but it feels weak
How come shield first?
block value is very strong
Any tips on YT author who uploads tank pull guides for DF m+ runs?
Preferably war ❤️
Tactyks makes guides for all M+ dungeons and routes, and is aimed at tanks that PUG and not MDT / Team / Dratnos style videos
from a tank perspective
wow how did you get it so high
Because Icy veins claims that the neck is BIS with the special effect
Fantastic thank you
primal infusion.
Sorry, new here can I ask which stats should I look for?
thats one source.
i haven't even entered the raid yet
max rep, 11-16 mythics
primal focus
a socket is worth roughly how many ilvls. Say, 372 w/ socket vs 376. Socket item better?
i'd take the non socket cause it's gonna be replaced anyway and I don't want to buy a gem
at 372
that's a good point. I stuck a cheap gem in it for now, but I'll try rockin the 376
lmao they aren't that rare
im gonna get an alt with jc
Quick question: Is Sidearm really better than Barbaric Training for keys? Or is it because the wowhead calculator swapped the talents (because they used to be in opposite spots)? I'm referencing off the pinned builds
two different things at play here
BT is a trap
Feelycraft warning: Barbaric Training is flat out more dmg for sure, but I think the sims show it as an overall survivability loss, especially with the 2pc set bonus coming up. I'm running it right now because I'm not taking a ton of damage and I've got so much rage in M+ that I sometimes can't spend it all with the 1 sec CD on IP
but in higher keys with a lot of dmg I suspect you won't want BT
i think barbaric training is fine to take in keys if you already have a great management of rage and sense to not use senseless revenge spams
But it's almost impossible to run out of rage with purely Revenge, it comes down to IP use if anything
there's lots of incoming rage in M+
it's fine to take
I've only gone up to 12, though
I even tried dropping bloodsurge in M+ and I was still swimming in rage. I'm only up to 8 atm, though
if u guys are swimming in rage with barbaric or dropping BS u are not playing correctly
Am I not suppose to be spamming revenge when thunder is on cd
I only hit non-procced revenge when I know I'm going to cap rage even if I use IP
no one is swimming in rage, BT is great, just dont be dumb with it
I'm just confirming that @strong forum is taking Sidearm over Barbaric in his pinned build
and occasionally when I need to pick up additional mobs and my other aoe abilities are on CD
Thats all I wanted to ask
take both, you dont need to drop one or the other
otherwise nom will do more dps than you
Eh I'm losing out on utility then, which I like having
utility of what
Okay I just curious
that's my float point I use for bounding stride or Int Shout
Was wondering why my dmg was lower compared to another prot tank
Show of force vs champions bulwark, which one does more dps vs each other?
Nothing wrong with that. But Bounding Stride can come in really handy at times. Int shout less so, but it's not useless
I would not give up int shout
it's just yet another interrupt effect
was even easier before they buffed his hp
there's probably 2 points in this tree that are definitely preference
i like the full damage
how high can the rare spawn loot scale to? im sitting on ilvl 380 atm
not essential if your group is smart on cc
but was also a cluster fuck a month ago on beta before the nerf
If i can craft weapon and shoulder?
i'm still not running barb training, don't think i'd be comfy with rage in single target yet
Weapon and shield, Should i do it?
BT isn't for ST
BT is shit
sure, but every key has bosses
gonna lvl a jc and make lariats for 1 copper
I mean, you can qualify all of this by saying: the pins are optimal. Doesn't make sub optimal shit. Just slightly less optimal. Play what makes you comfy
People dont come here to learn how to play sub optimal, you can do that on your own.
they don't even claim to be optimal, just general purpose with flex points
I prefer the term justifiable
but some people overvalue the word optimal. Like "if I don't run exactly what's in the pins I shouldn't even attempt M+ at all
thats the thing about BT
its not even comfortable to play
cuz youll ragestarve yourself
both the pinned posts by nom, the wowhead guy by llarold, all have BT, lmao
dont be a hypocrite
or change it
He takes Sidearm, which is my original question
the pinned general purpose build does not
Nom doesn't have BT in any of his builds
I copied noms build 5 min ago, it doesn't.
can u read?
yeah wait none of these do, what are you talking about
im not sure if hes trolling
Huh
and confused both of those talents
but the guy's #1 pwar rn
damn hypocrites
the wowhead M+ guide straight up has BT
I admire how nice you always are, no matter the question or topic. Always such a nice guy.
are you trolling? it absolutely does it all your wowhead guides
what can't I read
??
nome doesnt write the wowhead guides??????????
pins do not. Wowhead absolutely does
yes
Nom is not Llarold
nah he just played bad
when did I say nom writes wowhead guides, wtf
but also its a +6
so confused
Its a 100% rank, how does he play bad?
For the key
M+ parse rankings are meaningless
All that means is low sample size
key% is an awful metric, especially this early in the season
theyre not meaningless, just very very few people do log
ohh. it based on key level?
this implies u nmean nome as llarod isnt part of the conversaion
the fdk i play with did double this dps, just doesn't log
and all good ones are already higher
Okay to clear the air: Nom's pinned build does not have BT. Llarold's Wowhead guide does. You claimed the builds by all of these authors had BT
Can you explain this to me please
ty
okay then let's clear the air, since both are used as objective places for us to go
BT trash or not ?
sorry for confusion on names
eww who plays that
thats old or its my idea?
yeah okay
#1 io prot warriors have a history of not really knowing the spec
for pushing +17, ya you can probably take it
It's been like literally 26 hours since M+ released, calm down
yeah like
Probably just means he's had more time to be online than everyone else
dont look too closely
hes just playing
but his build fucking sucks
very suboptimal
but its pwar
there's a lot of situational talent build stuff but this one is pretty objectively wrong lmao
its good enough to get by cuz 100% block
It's also a good reminder how little individual talents actually matter.
Also, should I be nearly outhealing the healer in an M+
Monk is universally the least played class
Yes
guys got a build link for me for st, need to tank raid all of a sudden
Ring of Peace
To explain the healing item, think of IP as that annoying disc priest that snipes everyone's heals because absorbs get used first
i got to 2.7k 3 weeks into S4 and by the end of the season I was 2.75k xddddddddddd
there's going to be a lot more group healing in higher keys
prime gaming experiences
literally no one over 25 was taking any other tank except dk
Lol you think healers can heal 1shots
you're right, there's nothing inbetween +2 and one-shots
It's not far off
are there some dungeon guides? In more tldr format? 5-15 minute per dungeon, video guides?
soon ill be making lariats for 5k per tip
Even a +5 seeing passive ae just obliterate DPS
So far I could not imagine pugging a healer whatsoever
I would have quit dragonflight already
Yeah that 40% extra HP didn't help DPS survive at all
It does barely
But getting targeted by enraged fort mobs is like insta death pre +10
For the DDs
i think people are misidentifying ground swirlies and interrupts and soothables all as "unavoidable ae"
It really is
the actual hard ae is tough but not unhealable
Well the 40% hp they also made everything do 40% more damage
and at higher numbers needs a big CD or personals
It’s a healer nerf
The lesson they didn't learn from Legion Fury
It literally wasn’t supposed to affect dps survival
My DH was leeching 20k hps on the poison pack before the tree boss in AA
And it didn't
I double pull almost every pack because my healer has no choice
the dangerous stuff in court is avoidable, the vfx are weak and it has annoying LOS effects though
I Will say, being a melee in most dungeons so far must feel like shit, because the raw amount of "lol time to leave melee" is obtuse
Guide recommend Ruby Whelp Shell, but the WoWhead comments say the trinket is all over the place. Is there any information on how to use this trinket optimally?
If you get lucky with profs you can skip enforcers, which saves a hefty chunk of time
No that’s not true. It depends WHAT kind of survival tools each class has. A class with % reductions wouldn’t see a change. A class that part of their kit is a heal, that heal is now less effective (like say hunter or even evoker).
I’m saying for dps
Yes exactly
Obviously it affects different specs differently
most of the dps personal heals are % based too
Defensives CDs that are not % are all weaker now after that change
But in general the intent isn’t supposed to change
Which dps cds aren’t % based is my question
RIP pallys, DKs
Literally healing your self on a class
Ele sham??
Like druid
Shaman
Evoker
Or snything that is spell power based
It is now** weaker
Mages
Yed blazing barrier for example
🤔
Or is thst %
What are you guys talking about
I’m p sure it’s spellpower
Blazing Barrier is based on your max health
Yea the hit back is SP
Ah
Almost all actual "defensive" spells are based on either a percent reduction of damage, or heal you based on a % of your max HP
the dps versions of self heals are a tiny part of the defensive toolkit of those specs
Is the wowhead rotation/priority and opener correct?
Like if we're talking about like...healing surge, sure that's SP based, but that's also not what I'd consider a defensive spell
That's like a last resort when your healer dies, not something you generally would use regularly
Ok word of glory id a better example
It does get increased by missing health but that effect id based in missing % health not total health
Wog is the same, you gotta be pretty desperate to use it
But yeah self healing hybrid specs did get weaker
If it doesn't have a CD, it's not a "defensive"; it's just a heal spell. That's my opinion on it.
Like you could call Exhilaration a defensive, but not like, flash heal
we're digging pretty deep to find the edge cases that were negatively impacted by this outside of the main intent
yeah
I agree
The vast majority of survival abilities were not negatively impacted by this
To me- yay 40% more hp big D warrior
To my healer- why do +5s feel like I’m solo healing d-day
He actually said that
😂
Guys, the Embellishment from the Infurious Helmet of Vengeance is any good?
@shut summit can we wait until next week to pump, you're going to get us nerfed
anyone else doing keys around 13-15 and feel hard locked into storm bolt, shockwave, intimidating shout, and disrupting shout? I feel like there's 20 stops required per pack at this point its kind of crazy
Require more from your dps
any random cast that goes off just hits a dps for like 50% of their health
disruptive shout is more situational but yes
intim shout + shockwave + stormbolt should be hard locked by you
They've got buttons
i mean we've been calling kicks and such but in places like nokhud there's packs where 3-4 mobs in there just spam lightning bolt casts at people
nokhud an RLP are the 2 dungeons where disruptive shout is very very good
maybe even azure vault aswell
Vault for sure
what would you drop for disrupting shout?
sof
i like it in vault because it seems like there are some double pulls that you cant really do without it unless you have another big aoe cc from a dps somewhere
the first talent you drop to get something else is SoF
Hi everyone, are we looking to craft 1h with embellishments or a lariat with our sparks this week?
yeah im just dropping damage talents for more cc
im furybrained, SoF?
show of force
show of force
its the TC/Revenge buff talent
Even Punish? SOF is an aoe ability whereas Punish is a ST ability
is it legal that a blood DK needed gaze of the living quarry because it is crit main? and guild didn't want me to need it because it is not haste main? to me it's stealing
Wat
it was an ilvl upgrade for both
I feel like over a dungeon saccing Punish is less dps loss
Then your guild is trolling you or dumb as rocks
Ilvl over everything
It's like day 1 wat loot drama
Yeah lmao
Honestly even worse i had a fury in my raid need on the fire trink off eranog

Also do we have any other Rasz killers in the chat yet
@ionic fern hi ily
How's raid?
yeah someone brought up that argument but other warriors (even dps) just didn't say anything
This is like some weird game of thrones political shit where they plotted against you, idk what to say
😦
I'm in raid now.
I think you should write a forum post about it
On the last boss.
pog

Mwahi u own
No you.
Mwahi more like Mwahaha
Bosses and prio targets aren't a piece of cake
No I raided as arms that’s the farthest thing you can do from own
What phase you get to so far?
🤷♂️
why cant i post shadowmoon dungeon in lfg
Disrupting Shout feels more important then Intim Shout and Storm Bolt for me... but maybe need to be more creative with LOS for grouping shit up
Makes sense, ty
If Blizz came to you and said you could make one change to the spec tree, what change would you make?
We just got on the boss, did first pull, down to 60%.
How else do you group stuff up then? So many packs have ranged and casters that will just sit there and spam
if it was removed, would you just leave that area empty or replace it with something else?
Leave it empty cuz I lack inspiration
😂
i was going to make a crafted shield before my raid
but then i got a 385 one from m+
and now i have a 405 one from raid
so i don't know what to craft
maybe still just shield?
Weapon
^
Or neck
sorry 402

lariat nom?
what the H E double hockey sticks is lariat
389 but better than what i had
idk dog apparently it's a juiced neck
recipe comes from primal storms
really rare
Blizz: more accessibility!
Also Blizz: do this shooting quest with awful hitboxes
A necklace
Hell yeah. Honestly such a fun fight, I think this is the best last boss since Denathrius
say best last boss 5 times fast
Best last boss
Best last boss
Best Ghash boss
Ghash is best
Best boss Ghash
Nailed it
bish bash ghash
Damn yeah i guess i can’t do it
tfw i'm parsing purples that would have been oranges if there was still no-one playing this class 
actually honestly not even
i'm garbage
washed up
i'm 60 cpm
I still love you
which feels like pretty close to as high as we can reasonable go
but maybe i'm wrong
Same.
Well, i've gotten in top 10 all fights so far
Except for Dirna.
But
Damn
I'm playing horribly
you doing normal or hc
maybe you just need more simp splaves to farm you up max gear, consumables, and give you seventeen different version of PI
Has anyone even killed Rast on heroic yet
i haven't even entered the raid yet; was planning on trying to pug it today maybe

but then i keep thinking "do i really wannnna pug?"
Anyone wanna put wagers on how far into the expansion we'll be before they fix the Azure Span lag?
Seal of Filial Duty is that ring any good for us?
That 30% move speed felt weird to lose that’s for sure
Always getting gooder
I have learned from the Luerce school of prot war
It's a ring. That's how good it is for us.
At any rate, how pug friendly is Vault? Should I stick to normal or fuck it heroic full send? Keep in mind I'm lazy as fuck with regards to raiding now
Never been the same since my guild in MoP stopped
Last boss
Good
Choose one
last 2 on normal not best for pugs
Wasn't Sire good? I enjoyed that fight
not for pugs
It was good
Sire was good yes
Bad for pugs
Kurog is a funny boss 😄
10min+ fight where the only difficulty is p3
can i even proc it somehow?
or is the proc completely dead?
was anyone else experiencing getting 1 shot on uhh
terrog
terroc?
whatever big rock man
Did you fall
my BDK was getting melee'd for literally 450k
out of nowhere
without having a ton of stacks
understood, clear 3 bosses, watch raid fall apart instantly, wonder why i wasted my time for no loot
like he has 1 maybe 2 stacks and the boss straight globals him
wasn't me that died late i never die now that this class is good
nothing does any fucking damage ever
it's great
I've doed to Waterspeaker Mari.
My entire party got water jetted so I attempted to suicide to get the DPS back for a faster clear
that boss is bugged though
It took a non-zero amount of effort because I forgot to stand in the beam
the visual for the beam is wildly incorrect
my whole group was stood behind him and we all instantly died
They stood directly in the beam
If you had a fire damage trinket you could proc it, or something like that. But largely it's just stats for us.
ok so it would be good for like vdh?
Yeah both rings are great for like VDH, fire mage, anything that deals fire damage really
But they also happen to be the only two rings in the raid for some ungodly fucking reason
You probably can
i got the 389 cobalt assemblyring, and a 382 ring with a socked (haste vers)
which one would you replace first
Which 389 ring
I didnt see that bug once today
the damage proc or the shield
Probably the 382 would get replaced first if I was using the damage one
thats where i am currently 11/12
But you can sim
yeah i know, but thats just for damage
The shield is kinda meh I'd imagine since IP gets consumed first and it only lasts 12 sec iirc?
this could just be 5 separate groups copiuming
but i trust all those players
Sounds like they all just suck, especially that Mattacate guy
❤️
but don't come at my lil guys
I'm pretty sure it's basically his same beam
Which is to say bugged as fuck, but it 100% hits where the visual is at least
i think the beam is supposed to just rotate around the room
Are you sure you didnt die to the water on the ground?
but we had a pull where he randomly turned around
There's also that
Because that also has a mechanic that can kill you if you move
yeah no i know
but i assure you we were all just sat on a safe spot behind the boss
and we all died to the beam
Does Battle-Scarred Veteran apply retroactively, or no? As in, say an attack brings you from 40% hp to 5% hp - would that attack have its damage reduced by bsv, or would bsv only apply to the damage incoming after that?
something something logs
no
battle scarred procs the first time you hit a health value below 35%
WoTN works like you described, BSV does not
you get a buff when you go below 35% that's it
Hmm okay, yeah that makes it seem not super great
nah it's still pretty insane
in the situation where you actually need a cheat death
if you go 40%->0 on this class you fucked up pretty horrifically
interesting out of all the bosses in jade i didnt think that would cause issues
Isn't bsv still bugged
cos is pwar heaven
but you're almost certainly not doing content where you need it
When the 3rd boss was just doing some illegal things to our dh tank
Where it goes off premit damage
It's not going from 40% - 0% really, it's that if an attack leaves you well under the 35%, you still have to receive healing extremely quickly or are in danger of death
Bsv can proc at 100% hp and cause your hp to not even move
And just go on cooldown
It procs pre-mitigation
ok well that's hilarious
My favorite SR this season is the throw torch
^
Like vs jailer
the hardest pull for me so far (including bosses) is the last pull in jade serpent before the final boss
SR on throw torch is great
because it takes so long for the torch to reach the mob
but as soon as it does

that would definitely make it a lot easier
Trully. It feels so bad to go to 10s and be betrayed by your internet
I have to predict the future like the oracle
yeah I think that's the best way to approach it
the reason I was considering taking bsv at all was because of that pull lol
Anyone have any prot streamers to recommend? Preferably working through heroic
just returning to Prot Warrior since BFA... why aren't people using Bolster along with Anger Managment?
"reasonable" i guess i think most people aim for 100% uptime
Top prot warrior in rio using bolster and AM so not sure what you're looking at
Did they break @fluid parrotget in macros? My ravager lands in Africa half the time
ah shit, the io arguments are coming again
Am doesn't reduce last stand CD anymore
at least bolster isn't terrible like codex was
@ target never worked
Only for like 2 weeks
And it was never intended to work
OOOOO why thnak you world boss
You can use @stoic erminesor for ravager, it usually does a good job
Poor cur
He's not active
100%
Cuz I run HR now
Itf was awful to play
Had to tryhard so much to play around block downtime
Cba
I got like 98% from an mob slapping me as i charged in ;-;
i simply need to get good
that feel when you don't complete the world quest of the world boss but you tanked it the whole way through and also got loot from it???
which would you go for first, crafter shield or weapon?
What's a good ilvl for 10's?
377 was very comfy
Ok, I got some work to do. Thanks!
Could probably still be chilling at like 367
I know that binding is very personal thing
i usually use a MMO mouse, with 12 buttons, i said it to a friend of mine that usually rush mithycs and said "so slow". Its feels better and quickly to use keyboard bindings rather tan MMO mouse?
my problem usually is a little hand
Ya it's super bugged, killed it twice but quest didn't complete
Wdym. Even with HR I did 55k dps in AA
I tried time ago to bind QWERTY ASDF ZXCV and move pushing the 2 mouse buttons but don't know
Idk exactly what you're asking
I think Moo's got the idea that HR is a quality of life choice
if its really better to bind things in keyboard
Are you sure he doesn't think you're literally clicking the buttons
(faster, smooth, dont know)
Having the binds on your mmo mouse vs on your keyboard is a matter of personal ergonomics
Clicking on your bars is stinky
The diff between HR and itf build is explained in pins @astral atlas
HR is consistent and safe
Itf has higher highs and lower lows
And if your pulls last too long, you'll have gaps in your mitigation
And you will 100% have gaps on bosses
Hey everyone, For sparks do we follow the pins in the fury warrior discord, or should we craft a shield?
Is it still worth it to be killing these super rares?
Lariat for bis slot
Shield if you want good ilvl one quickly
Same goes for weapon @narrow vigil
Dont think so no
man lariat is hard
Any one know the proc rate on strike twice?
Very low
been farming for 2 hours on primal storms no recipe
Strike twice is free dmg, but very very very low
Thank you!
It's super sexy
imagine if it had gag order too
Doesnt titanic throw work with Improved heroic throw also?
Hey, with the Elemental Lariat neck, if I use a haste/vers gem, does it increase both stats when it procs?
Hey prot warrs. How are you handling overgrown ancient in 7+ keys? When the little adds spawn they annihilate me. How are y’all staying alive through this? I try leaping away but still die when they catch up.
What do y’all take out to talent in titanic throw?
I kept wiping in 10 and 13 on the tree boss in the academy....
I just don't get it
It does but its not worth the point
Yes it does
Shit dps
The plants have to die
Quickly
I’ve been saying titanic throw was giga qol day 1 no one believed me
Clear your debuffs in the puddle from the healing branch
