ohh, my bad lol. my brain melting right now, b
How do you use ruby whelp shell effectively?
yes
Someone talk me out of spending 500k on the wristguard recipe
I have 39 60+ characters and I don't even have 500k total. Don't do it.
It's on illidan etc for like 200k
but man, my server has someone wanting 800k, 500k, and 1.3m
no way to get a metric ton of primals real fast otehr than keys right? decided ima switch to prot, and wanted to make the spark sword/shield but dont have enough primals lol
do keys brain off no sleep
ya thats the plan lol
Best embellishment for a one hander? Fang or potion?

So like
What is the counterplay to the last pack of Temple?
I die through shield wall
Run
I think I fucked up. I blew my first 1k valor on BIS shield upgrade from M+.
Yet best embellishment aside from lariat looks to be armor spikes. But I'm a weaponsmith and was oging to use one of my sparks on a longsword
i'm holding onto valor til i'm getting higher level pieces
i did not have fun in azure vaults
i wouldnt say fked up
if the tankiness lets you do higher keys
then you can get better gear
well i wouldnt say for me.. it wasnt fun because group was dead while i was full hp xd
especailly early in the tier where people cant carry you
True
you need every bit of power you can get in m+ right now
Well I'm set on making my own sword. Potion or fang is what I'm trying to decide
doing 10s are fine
tell your team to stay far out of combat, solo engage the blazing imp, reflect when they start casting fireball
cos
What kind of dps should we be pulling in m+ across a dungeon? 30k? 35k?
varies a lot depending on dungeon and ilvl is also varying a lot right now
simply do your best
i carfted both engi goggles and bracers not sure how i feel about flame thrower
i feel like right now, i can tank a 10+, but the dps just dont live long lol
So much this.
people don't know how to play the dungeons yet
Is anyone else using two tinkers?
hey prot champions, new to the way of the prot, doing about 20-25% total dmg from m+ 7-10s atm should I be closer to the 30% mark?
which phial should we use?
@deft hazel Yea the dps are squishy as fuuuuk ๐ only run a 2 vault and 6 ruby, But damn dps dies like kids
I see tons of us are running the Primal Ritual Shell Trinket on Subcreation but
What buff are we going for there. Mastery or the shielding one?
Damage One didn't seem to proc a lot imo
Whats everyone doing damage/healing wise?
Okay looks like healer ignore tanks now to heal -.-
i mean tanks don't really need heals except brew
I stick with mastery one personally but I will say the shielding one does absorb a good amount of damage as far as I can tell
I got 5 of them on 380+ running 12's
u know what im using my spark to craft a helm im not spending 500k for a lariat 
What gems should i use in my Lariat?
ya im waiting for the next spark for lariat
@limpid pawn craft master's hammers
im watching a warrior doing a 18 ruby and im scared im not good enough
Ruby hurts. Whole team just melting around me.
Ruby is definitely more harshly tuned than any of the other dungeons.
Anyone know when you get diminishing returns on Haste?
Pretty sure its 30%
Thanks!
Donโt quote me
In SL I remember vers being 30% dr
For pvp
But I could be wrong
"Diminishing Returns for haste is definitely 30%"
- @full venture
Sounds right though
someone pin it

i got decoration of flame 
@warm plinth good morning, ily.
dps drop like flies though new mechanics in temple fucked me up. way easier doing challenge mode as prot back in mop
i got a normal one tuesday! but anything besides the first boss and groups suck
cause like im out dpsing people in raids
and it makes me sad
also, they should've opened up lfr
The damage profile of the dungeons is different than what most people are used to.
Instead of heavy tank damage it's more AoE/RNG heavy right now. This puts more pressure on the healer and DPS'ers, hence why it feels like DPS'ers are dying.
yeah, dps were blaming on big pulls
but no one was interuptting tidal burst in the temple i did
besides me on a singular one
i also did like 5 more interupts tahn an enhance shaman
and then like 13 more than a ret pally
and like 12 more than a mage
๐ฎ HI ILY
Don't put pressure on the DPS'ers.
They are trying their best to out DPS the tanks, no time to interrupt.
lmao
they're too busy yelling at the tank to interrupt to interrupt
can confirm that this happened to me earlier
like, listen, i can only stop so many casts with pummel, storm bolt, int shout, shockwave, shield charge...
i like, need some amount of support
And then people go.."Ugh..why do you have Honed Reflexes in your m+ talents??"
This..this is why..cause i've pugged too many times and that 1s off interrupt is big.

the 1s would not have helped me, personally
yeah i don't blame you for that
but it my specific scenario, it would not have helped
my gang actually focuses on interrupts and surviving over perfect dps in these early keys, it's incredible
most of the people i know don't even know base mechanics
but they do know how to press their defensives, so that's a plus
better than about 70% of the DPS playerbase currently
its funny because now we nozice that dps have their kicks and cc on alt gr numpad 5
hence why its so difficult to kick
Mine's on Shift-1, hence why Matta gets mad at me
Even i don't know base mechanics. ๐
My m+ dungeons yesterday were:
"Ugh..i'll just pull this and see what happens".
Oo, hey, mine is also shift+1
That being said..Ruby Life pools was horrendous.
Compared to other keys.
We can both get yelled at by Matta, then! ๐
Who?
Mattacate, man who made the banner tutorial vid during S4 SL
I was AFK most of SL.
100% understandable
But, back to Ruby..holy crap.
Oh yeah, Ruby blasts
The dragons..the interrupts..the casters.
I have heard that Ruby is quite spicy
What the hell.
It's like, pretty fine until the area before second boss
Is Ruby the one that has the boss that spawns the fire elementals
We tried it in a +10..had 41 deaths..still timed tho. 
Yeah
Both dungeons where I was asked to pull more mobs (+9) dps would die instantly
Shit is annoying
Jeah, from there on it's horrible.
You need to control the flame dancers or DPS just blow up
That's my job 
and if you have enough small elemental friends, you also actually feel it
Outlaw rogue life
like, i thought those tiny elementals would be like, fluff enemies
but that stacking dot they have kinda hurts
Mwahi be like that mob has mechanics?! Blasphemy!
This.
It diddn't help that our healer in ruby discovered that he was running red gear for like half the dungeon but his UI bugged and diddn't show gear as broken.
Yeah, the small elementals you see wandering around chuck like an ignite thing at you
I pulled all of them every time.
The small ones arent particularly dangerous
The destroyer combined with Cinderweavers tho 
they're honestly not, they just hurt more than i expecte-
oh yeah that suuuuuuuucks
and it's the worst if someone decides to say hi to a dragon
Can't keep up. Am I friends with the dragons or enemies with the dragons smh
are you guys crafting weapon and neck?
Exactly.
We're friends with the civilized dragons, enemies with the barbarian dragons
just think back to your history classes and you'll get it
The second big offender for me was Nokhud's thrash before the last boss.
EVERYTHING needs to be interrupted
FeaR? Gotta interrupt.
2x stuns - gotta interrupt
AoE damage - gotta interrupt
Wtf
I've been meaning to check the fastest route to hit none of that trash
it's not worth it when there's so much other trash you can slap
I've only done 3 keys so far, with the highest being a 5
Hopefully get to do real shit this weekend
You can go around all of them
without any specific classes
yeah thats a mistake
give me the insight, late
Well, I just did a pull on heroic Terros.
im trying to decide between dh/war tank can anyone tell me some bonuses prot has
You'll never guess where I was on DPS
you do damage
shield slam go CLONK
Good, that way you won't cap rage
Go right on dragon and jump over the wall
my war/dh are around the same ilvl and my dh is doing way more damage currently
Prot is supposed to compete for top DPS in a raid on single target, right?
Repeat till you are on the last 2 mobs before the boss
Where did you make up for the trash %?
Cause the trash near the duo boss felt also pretty horrid.
im doing around 50-70k on my burst as a DH only around 40 as prot
That's wayyyy too low.
they are only 330 ilvl lol
I think the highest i did was near 200k..but it was a big pack.
I know I do like 60-80k sustained AoE
can someone send me a guide then lol
Remember your ABCs
Jeah, we're gonna get pummeled with DPS nerfs.
And then once we actually start doing serious content and go into defensive stance our DPS is trash cause it got balanced around Battle Stance.
Anever
Bleave
Cbattlestance

lol yeah i was in defensive stance
Don't be in Defensive Stance unless you can't help it
It's like an 11% damage difference or something after accounting for the crit
can someone link me a talent build
IV or WoWhead tbh
so once i learn it and gear and everything prot would be better than veng?
All the tanks are fine right now. There WILL be tuning soon.
Play what you enjoy.
just in general my dh im doing way more damage on but i have a lot more fun on the warrior lol
but i clearly suck with it lol
Defensively prot is easy to play.
Offensively you need to put some thought / effort / practice into it.
guess im kinda just asking if its worth it to put in the time and work to learn it
but thanks for all your feedback everyone that responded
mwahi why are you a 90 degree rotated french flag
Totally biased opinion - Yes.
Cause i gave up surrendered ~~on ~~ to the FOTM re-rollers.
ive just been tanking with a DH since legion and want something new
shields > dual wield
Who would you rather have in your party, Drizzt or Gigachad McShield?

Friends don't let friends twf
ive literally only tanked 2 normals on prot war at 330 ilvl but im just sick of playing a DH its been like 7 years lol
tbh anything would feel fresh after 7 years of the same thing
yeah but warrior SEEMS fun like i said even though i was trash i was having fun lol
(technically vanilla, but it was like 4 months before BC)
100% yeah
was bear since wrath till legion then DH till now lol
but ima head to bed and ima stick with the war thanks everyone and gnite!
How are you guys dealing with the last pack in temple, I stood there too long and got deleted lol
Wait For it to get nerfed 

oh thank god someone else said it
I'll kite it I guess, but man, temple slaps
i was wanting to shitpost with that comment every time
but yeah that pack is not something i want to mess with
Is there any good general opinion on what I should spend my Sparks on?
From what I can say, shield if you need a higher shield or weapon, most people are going after the neck across all class discords
Honestly I think it's safer to wait a bit more, who knows if neck will get nerfed
Hey guys elemental lariant is better than this one ?
Stats are stats
And how often do you fight demons?
Heroic Rasz WF ๐ฎ
Liquid
big
I posted the old TCG card for dual wielding shields in the transmog channel I think
every time you appear in tank discords
@cinder storm I feel like the last pack in temple is some bullshit. Honestly the jobs that do shattered resolve. Like I just get fucking domed by it the first time, then every time after that I can see the air and not get trucked.
Lust it
rude
Honestly I think Iโd rather wall* that shit and sit in d stance than waste a lust on it
Unless we gonna lust and pull boss together with it
Which Iโd love to do that but pugs suck
I thought about that but the thing is, they rage too fast or the big guy spawns adds and if I kite then one dps will probably run like a headless chicken to the other side of the room
Yeah
Yes lol
aight. was tanking with another prot that was barely poping it
Probably was wasting rage
By mistake
Yeah
i feel so good
they had to spend their rage on IV, don't you see?
idk, that was kinda frustrating to see tbh
imma gonna brag guys
... lemme check
Ok.
I got those too calc!
And the trinket
oh yeah he did. close to 100% uptime atleast

I got 0 loot cause you know..loot council.

Some rest pally from a shitty server did try to need on the trinket


And rip
.-.
The trinket?

DPS >>> heal >>>>>> tanks for general gearing
Or just all the other gear?
All the gear.
That drops
Is prioritised for the DPS'ers.
Once they don't want any..then healers and tanks.
Even a trinket that clearly is for tanks?
that thing does sick dps
It does
If it dropped for you it's ok to keep it
Oh, no, not tank trinkets.
well the whole raid sort of feels like a dps check some way or another
but at least not for raiding so you can keep it ๐
Still does pretty decent single target
aye
Plus shield is nice
the hard part is tomorrow to find a pug that hasnt killed council but killed spider, rock and lizard
Is this a weird version of rock paper scissors we're talking about here
feels like

why i feel that 95 parse is from a prot 
Have you guys downed spider yet?
i have
No, that's actually a fury.
๐
thank god
i only did on dh on 15 but we lusted it
Duh, the 100 is the prot
But everyone below the other warrior are DPS'ers.
i have been already in 3 m+ where i beat a fury in overall dps
and just told dps to nuke all
mwahi out here actually raiding? pog
Another reason, I hate pugging. Beating dps on boss damage ๐ฅด
Lets just reroll at this point
is there any spell reflect weakauras for DF yet that someone of you have found working? Seems all i get from Wago just does not work
what's the lore on spell block in RLP
anyone know how to make a macro that combine the two stance in 1 button? if i am in battle stand, it swaps me into d stance.
U punch the spell back. With ur shield.
pins
Kurog, Dirna, Raszgareth were all pretty spicy.
Though Kurog/Dirna mostly because we ignored half the tank swaps.
But i mean let us have this moment that this spec feels good
Canโt relate was a DK before
I think you mean rass;iljeqhpweheth
Wait there's a z in it
rass;iljeqhpwehethz
Then the statement you made above has 0 value to it. ๐
But i'm glad you're enjoying Prot warrior.

๐
Razzberry
Until today I actually thought it was Rastageth but apparently it's Raszageth
I was like great, we're gonna fight a jamaican dragon
baited ๐ฆ
Yeah actually love the new talent changes and playstyle now compared to before
Well, there are still 3 more dragons to fight.
Maybe the fire one is jamaican.

๐ฎ
You think he sounds like Bwonsamdi?
Plot twist, Bwonsamdi was a dragonkin all along
Could be
Bring back bwonsamdi, itโs not fair
Best warcraft character in ages
Bwonsamdi>
Bring back Vol'jin.

To heck with it.
Bring back all old characters.
i still have vol'jins urn in my bank
Vol'jin was done so dirty
because it never left after i did the quest
The story could use a reroll or two
he'll be with me forever โค๏ธ
Jeah. ๐ฆ
No.
does anyone know the best embelishments?
Neither do i.
Love your new nick/pic

I got a lappytoppy today
whats BIS trinket for prot warrior?
@warm plinth maybe you should check the pins? theres nothing mentioning embelishments niether in the wowhead article
I think you should check again my friend
I was going to do that 
Are you guys doing the mini-bosses in RLP? It seems my friends and I can't skip these dragons once they landed.
also someone always body pulls them somehow, i dont get how they work.
I donโt bother with skips first month
ESP those dragons someone will always fuck up
now listen here you sons of bitches......im sorry yep didnt see that....F dude i suck
I just added the info to both places, to be fair.

oh my god he apologized, i like this guy, can we keep him?
No, ban.
But are they avoidable in general?
I typed so fast I went back in time
Someone admitted they were wrong! Incredible!
brb crawling under the rock whence i came
In like the past month, that's literally revolutionary. I'mma actually remember this guy
๐ you're good dude
you're not allowed, killchain
you're this weird thing called a reasonable human being
we love people like you
How was our day one boys?
haha all good appreciate the help.
Had some good keys and then got fucked in a vaults 12
WF Heroic belongs to NA, which is kinda like being super happy that you won a footrace on the playground in 3rd grade
Hoping to crack +15 this week
But I'll take the win
legit the fury has this beautiful list of bis gear with specific sources and you can clearly see the 2 embelish slots etc but the gear section of prot didnt have that and i could not find it to save my life
Great.
Sarcasm scan: ACTIVATE!
Not trying to be sarcastic here, but Ctrl+F is a lifesaver 
RESULT: unclear
is prot warr and blood dk a goodcombo?
It's below the BIS lists.
Trickier for prot to include since there are offensive AND defensive options.
I didn't actually try to pug raid today
Did raiding, downed bosses, got my m+ team back together, did some keys..had some laughs.
Was actually having fun in the game after 2 years.
I'm getting pretty confident I'm going to end up not hitting the raid at this point

Iโm really pleased to hear it man, I remember you just stopped playing in SL and Iโm pleased DF has recaptured some fun for you friend
Dragonriding has saved us
How was your day one?
I'm using flightpaths cause then i can AFK and do other things. 
But what about the dargons
I'm killing dragons.
I didnโt get as much time to push as I wanted but still had a lot of fun. Managed to proc inspired and make myself a 392 mace which is cool
Pretty sure my dragon will run away soon.

i genuinely dont think ive ever looked this incompetant in my life
Ended on a failed vaults 12 but will push more later in the week
what a day
anyone?
A good combo for what sir
Has anyone gotten their elemental lariat yet?
Crafters on my server are charging a 30/50k commission for lariat ๐
for some raids?
i have
Area 52, Arcana?
Draenor EU
kanamรซ-dreadmaul is doing them literlaly only 400g commish
alt code 0235 for the weird e
great guy
If it makes you feel any better then i'm currently suggesting a INT 1h Sword in my guide apparently.
Ah, those are Area 52 prices, too

My checklist for today:
Wipe cause dps donโt kick
Get called shit
Probably get loot
Wipe on normal raid
You need to calm down, we forgive you already smh ๐
I once saw a ret paladin use a int potion and when i asked his reasoning it was "I do holy damage".

oh dear
Once upon a time he would've been right
A friend of mine was using the phials that give main stat when you take damage, on an evoker
100% he didnt catch up with the modern game
Cause it gave him int
sounds like an innocent assumption tbh
sounds like me at 15 years old telling people pvp was real content pve was just scripted and lame and ez while also being the rogue on 300ms american servers keyboard turning and clicking buttons
I did PvP last expansion on my rogue and I played with this BDK in 2s and I would just stay stealthed while he soloed everyone
Because I'm really good at PvP
400 iq strats
200iq gameplay
That's guardian druid right now tho.
win while you sleep
So you can do it again.
You wanna see a fun clip of that though
I thought it was hilarious
Try not to be distracted by my cuteness
i failed
It's fine.
In failure we learn.
The funny thing is that shortly before this clip, he had said he would be fine
shadowlands pvp sure was something
Tbf.
I'm getting almost 1 shot by the Evoker "FLY THROUGH EVERYTHING" ability.
Super fun.
That's why it's called Deep Breath
Take a deeeep breath aaaaand shit on people
There is probably a percentage of the dragonkin furry population that wants to do just that
And blizzard knows it
experiencing convoke for the first time in pvp was something
oh im stunned... he's casting something
oh im dead
I thought a bunch of blue critters were going to come out
Does anyone else have problem that u cant klick the npcs on the last event in court of stars?
I had that yesterday, only with the first one tho.
is it a bug or something
Not sure.
๐
Only done CoS one time atm.
But no one else seemed to have that issue in my group.
i have done it 12 times and is have only worked once flawlessly
wdo we have new data for helm and SPikes etc. what is the best for M+ now?
Thunderlord is fine. FbV is fine. BSV is pointless.
this fbv vs bv is getting too pepega
how much can be said for sucha minor defensive talent
how about Lariat after nerf? still number one embellishment?
Probably isn't aware of BSV's major failing is all
if you get the drop xD yeah
Someone was trying to sell the recipe in trade chat for 7M yesterday on my server lol
gonna say this though, BSV is dope AF in PvP
I mean idk why he would use it if he did
There's 0 use in proccing it when you're full HP with all your CDs available
i dont think a warrior like Pika isnt aware of how that talent works
that said, even Nerf isnt using it
It's not about knowing how the talent works. It's about knowing that it's bugged.
That's wrong on a lot of levels.
Plka is a great prot warrior..but talents/abilities are and can be bugged.
Literally over-night.
Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know that since no one recommends even taking it
what's the current bug with BSV?
It procs based on premitigation damage
Which means it can literally proc when you're full HP when your HP does not move
sounds almost like a good bug if you can purposefully plan it lol
fair enough
Random question, does anyone have the quaking WA that displays as a faint ring in the center of your screen and makes the sound when you're overlapping someone?
There's like 8 billion quaking WAs on wago so I can't find it
Probably..17-18?
makes a lot of sense
Not sure tho.
top key in the world last night was 18
so if hes in that lvl
BSV is fine
like he would have had 2 raid days doesnt mean hes got any gear
Yes he's in that level
this is the difference between knowing why and when to use it
and not
I'm 379.
I mean under normal circumstances, sure. I just don't see how it would be particularly useful in its bugged state.

Did you get gear from raid? o.o
Nerf: "Taking the season off for the baby."
Also nerf: First 19 of the season.
yer some
but i wont get any from HC or mythic cause dps first

so i grabbed all the none tier pieces which was an ilvl increase
The baby is the one playing
๐ฆ
and im only one in raid that uses strength 1 handers
Lucky.
We had NM lootcouncil already and all went to DPS'ers.
and 2 tank trinkets dropped
got these bad boys....also I didn't even read the loot and won a 2H by accident, not sure why i was allowed to roll on it. i can't be trusted

ill just get the other 4 
Maybe he wants something else for embelishment.


I want tier..but i won't get tier.
Pretty sure they are using some excel sheet to see the DPS increase for tier..and tanks aren't there.

Jeah, but in m+ it's still a increase.
cause they didnt add execute to it
Like overall.
can the vault drop raid tier ?
๐คท
no

i believe it still can would be dumb for them not to do that
Is BV worth? Or is it overcapping IP?
Did you swap to FBV?
no
Juh.
Yes
As someone who enjoys pushing keys (mostly with pugs), would it be unreasonable to reroll from vdh to pwar? I can't make up my mind.
M+ and PvP vault can drop tier
Play what you enjoy.
Balance comes and goes, play what you like in the first place
The most "success" i've had from a "let me save pugs" PoV is probably paladin.
VDH and PWAR great for pugging keys
your gunna have just issues pugging because dungeon are a coordination
nightmare
What, you don't like 50 casts on the same pack that need to be interrupted?
BrV! YESSSSS
mfw the dh complains that we're losing time because I didn't see the last elemental
i do not like that
๐
proceeds to do a double dash and pull last miniboss of RLP
they said they wanted to make it more like a thing to push for ppl that enjoy it
but they probably gunna have to nerf alot
Jeah..a ton.
hydrolance hydrolance hydrolance hydrolance
like they killed keys in bfa as they added fort and tyran to keys lower than 10 and that killed the casual keys because ppl couldnt cope with the extra damage
Yeah, I guess you're right. Pugging will be hell either way :D
it always is, but it's part of the experience
Do I understand correct
Yes.
Running +11 and higher gives you after 10 the
lmfao
The 405 Itemthingie
But how long does the Mythic take from Mythic Bosses, do we know?
i understand some of these words, but not in the order they are in
Ney I meant the thingie where you can craft a 418 out of it
According to this, +12 gives you 405 from great vault.
i think he's talking about farming primal infusions
Oo
The 2 crafting reagents we can add, my apologies
does that only drop in vault or can you get end of dungeon too?
the primal infusions i believe they require sparks for most of the gear u can upgrade with it
so its kinda
held back by that
yes, that can drop in M_
If we already know how many Bosskills it'd take
10 I imagine? I'm assuming it's 1 per boss
I think it's like this:
Primal Infusion = above +15
Primal Focus (combine 10 to convert to Primal Infusion) = 10-15 level
it take 10 runs
They're both focus
Uh let me check sorry
The 405 one is primal focus
100% focus
what do you mean 100%
The higher one is concentrated primal focus
Primal infusion is just what they're used for
But 10 Mythic Bosskills seem alright
https://www.wowhead.com/item=190455/concentrated-primal-focus is the +16 and higher one
An item in the Other Trade Goods category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date with the latest patch (10.0.2).
Yeah
I pulled an allnight I apologize
Sorry for the confusion
So that's 10 x M15 for a 418 Crafted Item if anyone has the skill for it, correct?
+11-15 drops Primal Focus which is for Primal Infusion. +16 and up drops Concentrated Primal Focus which is for Concentrated Primal Infusion.
It'd be 16, but yeah I assume it's 1 per dungeon
Don't forget you'd need 150 primal chaos too and that's just to make the infusion, not counting what you need for the item itself.
Did we need the Spark itself too? I kinda forgot
Or could we just add Primal and get it to 405/418
Currently not logged in to check
Rephrase: Would a spark be required for all items to upgrade them that high
Need the spark, but can recraft the 405 later
Gotcha
Idk should I dump my valor into the Haste Vers Shield although I got a crafted 392 one? I could upgrade the Lariat later I guess...
You'll get more sparks soon
I guess it would be a neat over-the counter thingie until I can upgrade higher eh?
This would be current gear, and Sparks are in Lariat and Shield, but I dropped the Haste / Vers on 389 and it costs only 250per and we're Tanks after all
Just dunno if the Valor would be "wasted" or "worth" it
Valor only goes to 415, spark can (with the right crafter) go to 418, and +20 vault is 421
I'm not spending any valor until 2400 personally, itll be on 405 gear
Yea I did not miss the cap at all ._.
Being as vault can be rng, I'm going to craft weapon/shield to ensure it's 418 at some point without wasting valor
Would I feel a 12+ iLvl higher shield in M+? :/
Put your first infusion into the shield to make it 405
and if I get lucky with the vault, I've wasted a spark = /
Yea fair enough Steve that's better
But at least I had a decent weapon/shield
after that, probably going to spark bracer/helm from engi, as they can single stat haste with their crafts
Any tips for Nokhudon Hold with the elemental trash? I am getting globalled in 14.
Desync the arcing slashes by storm bolting one of the mobs (primalist arcblade)
Nothing else hits that hard to global you there
Hi guys ive been very unlucky with 1h weapon for Prot. I am considering crafting one since you can upgrade it further. Is this a good idea ?
If yes its a good idea what would be the best one for us ?
Wowhead would have a lost of nocs that drop it. Its like half of all the rares
Uhm...
This thing. Apparently 9% Uptime during M+?
Saw no other listed buff that associated with it.
its a 2 ppm proc WHILE taking dmg
It would be 20% if the shield lasted the full duration
iirc
wowhead states that it's 1ppm
do i think of the other scale? same icon?
maybe, not sure
Anyone tested frostfire legguards in mythic+ yet? They sim really high for me
Can anyone give me the best formula for learning these dungeons? Do you guys study routes etc before ever going in or just learn through trial and error? First time trying to M+
For me..
I just W the dungeons for the first week.
Once i get into higher keys i check routes.
its fun to create routes 
spent 70min in an AV 14 to learn the dungeon
Okok
What are we calling higher keys? Done a court of stars 2 yday and if I didn't have someone else telling me where to go I would have been completely lost
It's up to you what you consider a higher key.
I did 10's by just pressing W
And i don't count them even close to high.
Wow ok lol
If you're really-really new to dungeons then you can probably find a lot of videos on youtube explaining mechanics and things.
yeah its very relative but historically you can hold W without any complicated strats or routes up to like 20s
gonna be hard of course to do that week one but
when you catch up on gear
What are most peoples dps pulling in m+? running w rl friends and it seems their dmg is low - just looking for a reference so I can help them out
Okok interesting, thanks guys
Tank or dps trinket
ive only done a few baby keys but i did about 35-40k with 370
depending on dungeon though ofc
I done 30k last night but was half asleep and azure vault
This was a +11 Academy
Most dungeons i'm checking atm it's between 40-50k
Not a big pool to check from currently as we only did like 8 keys
And most of them were in the idea of "What happens if i pull this..."
nerf pwar
I must be doing smth wrong, need to upload a log because I am much higher ILVL (380) and have never been close to that overall lol, maybe only in Alg but a big maybe
Hi guys ive been very unlucky with 1h weapon for Prot. I am considering crafting one since you can upgrade it further. Is this a good idea ?
If yes its a good idea what would be the best one for us ?
Jeah, log is a great way to start.
What talents are you using?
What's your 1h weapon ilvl?
Do you have a 382 Matrix ? You can just craft that one. ๐คท
Otherwise just spam dungeons and hope for one.
Basically exactly this, I do need to just take a log certainly though
Okay, your talents are more or less fine, so it must be something with your gameplay - this we can see from logs. Just let us know when you have one and we can dig deeper.
Call him Stanley cuz he digging deep
I will do!

What is the best way to take battle-scarred veteran (where to get the talentpoint from the m+ build?)?
show of force or thunderlord
ty
weapon for ilvl gain
necklace for bis item
cap
praying it drops by like 50k a day until its reasonable
tbh if i were you i would have lvl a alt and learn Jewelcrafting on it
the fact im missing out on like 800 haste rn is upsetting
i am already doing it on my third alt XD
so the JC neck with proc's is shit for us or??
No.
theres (1) (one) pattern on the server
would you craft it with proc then?
yes, its bis.
i mean i made shield instant of neck so its up to you
but i already got a neck from dung
I made a shield already. this is my second spark.
same here but for second one idk what to do i think i going with weapon
then head and wrist from engineering
What do you think guys is the best option dfor crafting spark?
Do you pick haste or vers in Academy?
Crit.
Shield/Weapon/neck are my go-to's.
a ring is nice cos you still equip your second best
i put the food buff embellish on ring
@ionic fern can you post your mythic + talents please?
The green circles are sometimes swapped.
Thanks so much
What determines the swaps between the circles?
did they fix brutal vitality ?
just crafted lariat, can't wait for nerf next week
I don't actively swap between them. I've mostly defaulted to Honed and Battering Ram for m+.
TL will probably be once i feel like i need more DS up-time.
Honed is more of a "use this point on w/e".
I will swap from ITF to HR once i need more block up-time.
Dudes, i made a macro with Shield Slam, Ignore Pain and Shield Block. Is that really really lazy or ok?
So as the keys go higher.
Copy that, appreciate it Mwahi
PLEASE SHOW ME.

Would BSV be worth taking if they fix it?
If you need it. ๐คท
seems like it would be pretty good if it proc'd when it's supposed to
yeah I guess it follows the same logic as for the other "cheat" deaths
Jeah, exactly.
Guys, Leech or Avoidance enchant on cloak?
Leech.
Pretty much this
#showtooltip Shield Slam
/cast Shield Block
/cast Shield Slam
/cast Ignore Pain

But no.
Never do that.
its not the shielding neck but the dmg neck right
Elemental Lariat
roger
No, it's Mwahi.
Hmmh, after/before neck shield with armor spikes or bleed helm 
guys, sorry, but i saw that many are making sword 1h, my crafter can only make axes, but is there something different that maybe i missed?
Nope.
Craft which ever you can.
Hey gents, I feel a little overwhelmed with all the crafting options at the moment, I've read the pinned messages, but I still feel a little like a walking ???
can you guys lay it on me plain and simple, what's the best thing to use my spark on this week?
on launch I used my first spark on making my own engineering bracers which I plan to keep upgrading for the benefits the socket can provide in m+.
Does anyone know if added sockets/gems are kept during recrafting (say if I get the lariat recrafted with an upgrade item later on)?
Yes
Thanks
Guys whats the best embelishment for prot warrior weapon?
Crit is big pumpers
Did a 13 last night and kept getting clapped by Dark Claw in temple of the Jade serpent. Can you just walk out of the cast? I feel like a dumdum
What should I craft with my sparks, I just found out about them.. been living under a rock
Is it possible to remove and embelishment?
Recraft without
did you try right clicking?
No AFAIK
Me too
I've heard there's a bug related to removing embellishments from crafted gear, though it's supposed to work that way
of course it doesnt make or break anything
I'm starting to level a Prot warrior but it feels really slow paced, does it get better once 70 ?
youll have plenty of apm
Once you get about like, Outburst tier talents is when you should start seeing it pick up, iirc, but I haven't raw levelled a warrior in a while
I'm 62 atm but I feel like, I only need to press shield slam, revenge and thunder clap, some cd def occasionally.
You should be needing to press IP to prevent from overcapping
which fuels into avatar
my rage regen is quite low
but those are definitely your three most pressed buttons, yes
You should not be having poor rage gen at that level, since at worst you should have Outburst and Shield Charge, which are some of your biggest rage generators
Ravager is helpful with rage gen
unless you're using bloodsurge in ST or something
No idea if it's a place where i'll get my answer but tonight, we are going back to the raid and are now on Dathea (normal). Since on Normal, both adds spawn on platform, do you have one tank on boss and the other tank on the two adds while you kill them one at a time?
Correct, kill adds one at a time, close to a edge so the whole raid doesn't fly off
and as Warrior, i can insta charge on boss knockback i'm guessing?
Correct
we had 1 tank on boss with 1 add and other tank take add out to where we kill it
thanks to you both!
how many stacks of the boss felt right to switch on, it looks like a long debuff
we swapped at 3
1st tank one stack at pull, swap, then 3 from there works well for add timer.
elow, sophic or frozen devotion for m+ ? or doesent matter that much?
What talents are you running?
I got wrecked by this guy, I got stormslam stacks on me and, how does that happen and how do I avoid it https://i.imgur.com/yCD8b9x.png
idk never had an issue with him before, I just got killed instantly from 50% health
so I cant avoid it?
no; it has to be dispelled
or you have to get a good spell sequence
you can probably survive between 3-4 stacks I think?
yes, I suppose I could kite him if stacks are about to go out
IDK, RLP is poop; im more worried about my friends dying or my healer getting double quacked right now on that fight
think I got 4 and died at 50%
RLP is truly a nightmare with poop players
all the DF dungeons are hard
esp healer
ill take every DF dung over SL season 1 dungs
its a dungeon issue imo
SM has some nasty pulls though
hm, sims recomending haste/mastery gems
but they dont feel unfair
I guess I Have pretty low mastery
like Ruby
I should probably get more mastery
Its like not worth thinking about stat weights while we still gearing
I would just go either Haste/Crit or Haste/Vers
fair, but I have essentially no mastery
thats fine
I suppose
suddenly youll get a bunch and be like, damn now I gotta recraft my thingy
Is the Spell reflection tracker linked in the resources faq up to date for dragonflight season 1 m+?
I'm at 26% crit already (in battle stance)
until I actually turn on def stance, aint gonna worry bout vers
We can send crafting orders cross server right?
@deft vessel are open for a crafting order? 
oh i'm not a jeweler, that's from a crafting order xD
Is anyone using bolster?
no
Share your jc fam 
I do lol use that shit on cooldown for long SB and just throw damage
made by Seyaad on Argent Dawn :3
err, I don't know if they're actually on Argent Dawn if the orders are cross server
Crafting orders are server specific afaik
then yeah, Seyaad on Argent Dawn
Similar to AH gear
Balls
was it a shaman?
uhm I'm not sure
Bolster isnโt necessary yet or is the other talent just way better value?
10k
10 with you having the mats I assume
You can use bolster; there is a build in the pins that works
Yeah but itf instead of Hr
but the more common build just has a easier time with SB uptime
As you already have enough uptime
but its totally viable if thats what you prefer
Itf feels pretty nice imo tho
having vers gear probably is less of a dps loss than d stance 
hi guys, is what the best to make, a 405 weapon or the giga neck 405?
Is there a reason why "top" warriors are not crafting high level shields?
first boss on Mythic drops a shield
