u know 3 tanking isnt always a bad idea
First time pulling alot of these dungeons
but probs wont work based on hc version of the fight
No but ppl def act like it is
idk what that is
You guys probably already know this, but on Dathea, big time spell relfect damage possibilities. My guild is slow, we just got to her on normal last night but it’s a fun boss
First boss temple
On one pull I was sitting at 26kdps, and had 6% of my damage as SR, bleed wiped at 8%….. smh
Is there a way to tell if you a bad tank but got grouped with a great healer?
Pugging all my runs can’t tell If I’m doing good or the healer is saving my ass
What Key lvl du you run ?
Well I just did a plus 8 jade at 382
You shouldn’t take much damage in that healer or no healer.
Any ideas for last pull in jade temple? 😛 that 3minion+1 haunting+fatty sha reck me, like rolling cds isn't rly helping either 😦 (15 key level, im around 387~ish)
Kite it when needed you got the hole dungeon for it
they don't turn their tankbuster on the party if tank is away? 😮
U can’t tank that fat middle one all alone?
not before 3rd boss, the last pack they added before last boss
I mean I did a plus 8 but I was able to get him all alone
logs
pray
the fatty isnt the issue, the 3 minions+haunting is
Just lust it and roll CD’s. Run when they rage.
Would recount work?
no
you guys swapping to Spell Block for any dungeons?
not yet
temple
practice the skip
i mean in pugs
ill have to bring a guaranteed CC guy for it
wait until pack gets close to boss/middle, skip on the left side
oh well
don't expect people to know strats literally 72 hours after release of m+
explain it or put down world markers to make the route clear
bruh
i thought going past 1 mob would be in the skills of wow players at this point
your in a pug
its coming 
guess ill route them in then
I got told to learn dungeons if im going to tank, lfr dungeon, day 2 of xpac
yer
of course ppl know skips /s
if youre in a +10 i expect you to know, but i see all your views
i will not expect it now
Who uses recount in 2022?
I mean, I was literally fighting the first pack in bracken and went to move on to the cage that was on the side of the beach to the right
so like 20s into the dungeon smh
yea thats weird
I meant w/e the other one is called
‘Details’
Personal assesment = log
General/blanket assesment = details
How do i log ?
So, if you have been here for a while, you may have noticed that whenever somebody ask for advice we ask them for a log, and if you’re new you might have no idea what that means or how to get one so :
🔸 First, download Loggerhead (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/loggerhead) or ERT (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/exorsus-raid-tools)
Once you have one of these any time you enter a zone where you might want a log (ie dungeon/raid/torghast) these addons will automatically start logging (in the case of ERT you have to activate automated logging in the options).
Alternatively if you don’t want to install an addon for it, whenever you are going to do an activity you want to log type /combatlog in chat to start logging said activity.
Remember to activate advanced logging in the options (System -> Network -> Advanced Combat Logging)
All these options will store your logs in your wow file inside the retail folder and the log file.
🔸 Second, go here (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/client/download) download the client. Select the live section of the client, select the upload a log button and select the fight you’re interested in putting up as a log and boom you’re done.
🔸 Third, once you’ve done all this, your log is uploaded you can put it up here and we can look at it together to see if you’re doing something wrong.
If you wish look at your own log Jakey made a nice little video explaining what we look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tRp8lULT8
Just a quick guide of the few big things you should look at when reviewing logs as a prot warrior. Hopefully you find it useful :)
Get started with logging yourself - https://www.warcraftlogs.com/help/start
is that not in #268491842637660160
should be pinned there no?
i feel it falls under guides and resources and faqs
if it aint broken why change it 
Thanks jakey 
should probably remove the vid link as that was from last expansion
but meh
basics are there
I'm actually content with dungeons this xpac, most are straightforward, no hallways, rarely 300% count dungeon, we got a freehold (burial) and nothing that seems to need skips
Gotta give it to blizz
they can tune down the damage a bit tbh
Im having trouble with the nook nook offensive one myself
But I enjoy the rest
Ah yes the ook dook offensive lol that one isn’t too bad I over pulled a decent amount in court of stars but we still timed it so that was nice
is the crafted neck bis for prot? or should i craft a sword first for example?
i think im getting bad value out of IO pls help https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jYCbVKdn8xwWgvyk#fight=3&type=auras&source=6
plka's route work fine for me, except I pull the big patrol pack, that one always seems to be near the hills of where I'm fighting the ballista guys (he has it unmarked on the pug route), but in turn you can skip the 5 guys before last boss and pull 2 of the casters that are on the right side walking up and down
I pull pretty much everything in the first area. That is easier than the rest imo. Big pack if you heroic leap right to the center the 2 archers on the side will run in before they start to get rooted and just shoot so it’s all nice and grouped.
guy i remember a site about all tanking tips regardless of the class... with all tactics... can u help
Tanknotes?
tanknotes
yes! tnx
and tnx
Which Stat from Turtle Shell Trinket do we take for Raid? :x
Mastery? I didn't notice the Flamethingie proccing often
Yea the last pack of 5 b4 the 2 big guys at the end is a nightmare
what is that addon that shows boss timers in a timeline format? that was very helpful for me compared to a stack of bars
hey guys anyone have any tips for the last trash pack of Jade temple? 3 doubts HURTS, can we spell block those?
It’s a weakaura look up timeline in wago
oh a WA, great thanks!
Should be able to
LOL
You play spell block and defenders aegis
Anyone know a blacksmith on Zuljin that can do the defender shield with armor spikes at 392? Struggling to find someone
You kite the dark claws and only go in for the reflects
do initial craft materials affect recrafts for quality
sounds good, had a 16 going fairly smooth til that pack lol wasnt prepped with a spellblock build
Remember shade of zul?
yes, read the wowhead post
which one?
thanks
I'm probably really blind, but how does one remove the big ass numbers from the MDT map?
nope 🙂
It was literally - establish some aggro, RUN
Like you'd charge in blow all CDs and try and get out of range before SW faded
Because on fort weeks he could one shot you
I dont seem to find it either
In like+5
i would really like if someone could look at my log because i cannot figure out why my SW/Avatar uptime is so bad
this dude didnt invite me to tank jade serpent 13 cuz I had 3 dungeons below 10 that weren't timed
Aww thanks for looking, I feel like it must be possible because when I look at an old dratnos/mdt video I don't see the numbers
Dudes first achi dated 2017
Ok
Ok
yeah its new for df
Still bugging

Is battle scarred scale decent?
Is it still proccing at 100%?
is your haste pretty low?
Dumb question sorry, we want every stat over strength? strength is not in the priority list
Ilvl = str and armor
and stamina
Str is best
but what about str alone
then why is recommended food secondary stats instead of the one that gives main stat, and no epic gem recommended too
Cause feasts are usually shit expensive
Not a ‘personal’ food
My understanding is they are much easier and cheaper to get in DF though.
Weren’t they 1k a piece or something?
🤷♂️
is BV still bugged?
waht .-.
and i spend 10k to make 200
Thought someone said they cost a crap ton the other day
Any tips for ruby 
Don’t die
Hi everyone, what do you use as an addon to memorize how to pull properly in each m+ dungeon?
MDT (mythic dungeon tool)
ruby and azure I find the most difficult so far
The dragons in ruby are mental every ranged player almost getting one shot
Yeah if they dont dodge the frontal they done
and you only get like 1 sec to even dodge it
The cast is also pretty fast super annoying
Cant eat them in keys
is there a way to make a Revenge / Execute macro, without modifier? 🤔
If you find one lmk nielsen
I see, thank you 🙂
Practice.
Really? Well then they are pointless for me anyway lol
You can pre eat them
But they wont let you "open" them mid key
Cause they give you something
Fantastic, thank you
Is there a handy way to open it during the key without losing my whole screen?
Make the window smaller
hi i have a question. During avatar if you are rage cap, are u still doing TC->x->TC->x ... or u would cast revenge to burn some rages to avoid over cap then follow back the rotation? To maximize dps i mean
Mythic Dungeon Tools lets you plan and share routes.
You are not rage capped as you dump rage to IP or revenge
Mythic dungeon tools even tells you what% you'll be at for every pack you select.
does the Dragon Road dot snap to Avatar Modifier?
It’s all dynamic
ok
Press ignore pain, keep pumping
You should never hit rage cap as prot, you always have something ogcd to spend rage on (shield block, or IP).
You also will never generate enough rage /to/ hit cap unless you're just neglecting to keep your defensives up.
There's a reason prot doesn't pick up the rage cap increase talents in the shared tree
i... didnt know that i could
usually i just rocked keystone guru on the other monitor, but now that i have a premade- obv this needs to work better for me
You can always just take a screenshot of the route and move to the other monitor if you need that.
How do you guys rate trinkets burgeoning seed and ruby whelp shell? For m+ moderate tryhard (not too hard since not enuff time).
Sorry if this is a spammed question but is there a resource for spell reflectable abilities in M+ and raid?
Gave me a good idea. I should get my old monitor and go for a dual setup. Didn't feel I needed it with a 34 inch but having route etc clearly visible on another screen would be kinda dope 😄

Ultrawide ftw, got real estate on the sides for maps
how do you deal with multiple floors though?
Is elemental lariat still bis for us after nerfs?
like can MDT figure out which floor i'm on?
Are you guys running shockwave as a prot warrior. Wowhead say not to use it as an AOE build
I'm using it on certain dungeons where I need group stun
but if group has stuns covered I don't run it
For raid or M+?
M+
yo did they nerf threat generation?
You're also allowed to move utility points around.
they just buffed it
just when like an hour ago or literally just now?
Like here's my M+ tree, the text to the guide says clearly there are points you can move around
oh god we found the reddit poster who doesnt know how to take screenshots 
you can also click the key talents tab to see what is mandatory
nvm ima check wowhead
Pictures > screenshots
Haha I’m just work and it’s easier
It is literally never easier
to take a picture on your phone
than windows shift s and paste into chat
I don’t have discord on work computer
discord.gg the webpage exists
browser discord
you're clearly in a browser lol
Anyways, you guys are taking shockwave for different dungeons
Regardless
Shockwave > Uproar for me.
33% more uptime on thunderous roar isn't going to make or break me, having the ability to AoE stun can litearlly save my life
I swapped to shockwave also it’s nice to have the extra stop honestly
So many freaking casts
Thank you guys
TR was my top dam on AA lol
you can throw storm bolt into something else like pain and gain or int roar
Also, honed reflexes isn't that attractive compared to the other stuff you can drop that point in. Shield Slam resets enough that 1 second base cd isn't going to affect your rage gen much
Screenshot not working for you? hahah
As far as the pummel cd, good thing you have at minimum 3 other interrupts on your party
Possibly 4 if your healer isn't a priest
Tbh shockwave is a favorite
You guys have a lot more trustworthy pugs than average people apparently
this is my first time seeing the valor system, so if I reach the 1500 cap, then spend points on buying something, can I earn more valor? or have I gotten all the valor I can get for the season
Yes you can, you just hit current cap
awesome! wanted to be sure I didn't spend frivolously if they were limited
But there's no point in using them right now, wait until you get better gear
They are limited. The cap is a seasonal cap. You can earn more, but not until the next weekly reset.
ah, then yeah better to wait then
If I earn 1500 valor this week and spend that 1500 valor, I can't earn more until Tuesday, which will let me earn another 750.
They just don't let you bank too much of it so you can't save up to upgrade a full set of gear from rank 1 to 15
makes sense, but each week I can spend 750ish then
Yeah
Assuming you're starting from being capped the week before
In the last few seasons, they've uncapped it at some point later in the season. I've heard people say they aren't doing that this time around but I have yet to see anyone able to provide a source for that.
hey guys what gems are you running on your elemental lariat
if its capped its fine, just means I should wait until I get the best piece I can get each week and then upgrade it rather than like, pumping into a 1/13 piece
Yeah it's always better to start with the highest item possible before you begin upgrading, especially this early in the season.
What are the odds prot gets gutted 🤣
If I run ritual shell, is mastery or the shield better for defensive purposes? Im assuming shield but not sure
What’s the shield/mastery amount?
We're already 3 rounds of tuning in
1370 mastery for 20s and shield I gotta check
Debating if I wanna level my warr
Since both offensive and defensive value
play what you find fun, numbers are funny and change constantly
I mean not really any blocks this expansion to leveling and gearing alts
Yeah true, just the amount of time I have to play is all I have to balance against
But it's up to you, there hasn't been any time period ever that warriors haven't been able to do all content
Shield is 90k for 30s
Ew
It’s decent but also ehhhhh
Mastery for sure
I value offensive power more
What should I craft with my sparks, I just found out about them.. been living under a rock
Though if you stack enough embellishments and trinket/cobalt ring proc it might actually be clutch
yeah prot I think is tanky enough where they benefit more from pumping damage
Not even s1 shadowlands?? They were pretty gutted
I get that, but Im currently more trying to get comfy so more def than off for now, specially since I have no crafted stuff or assembly ring (maybe yet but wont bet on it)
dead things can't hurt you so the best defense is ultra murder hobo the enemies
Even s1 bfa which makes s1 sl prot look like superman
S1 shadowlands was a shit tier time for any tank. VDH was only Meta during that time because they had up front burst and unmatched kiting ability lol.
Also the thing with prot in s1 bfa/sl is that it required more than 5 braincells to play properly
Tanks should never be forced to kiting relevant content
As opposed to bdk brm and vdh which was basically press whatever is lit
Lmao. Maybe it’s time. I am an admitted altoholic so it’s really hard to me
Just play bdk tbh if you're worried about nerfs
They never nerf bdk (enough)
Honestly, as long as they don’t nerf shield block uptime from 100%, it’s honestly fine
Fun is totally subjective
I didn't say it wasn't. That's why I didn't say play prot war
How is the dmg?
I do think that they should put revenge off the GCD. I wanna be able to offensive rage dump
There's no chance that happens, and it shouldn't happen.
About the same as other tanks on average
IP is a offensive rage dump
Someone remind me stat prio plz
Ilvl
ilevel>haste>crit=vers>mast
str > haste > vers
This stat prio right here @deep spruce
There is only one damage ability off the gcd we need

I have a feeling this is not an easy answer but why is there a line drawn on if Vers or Crit is after Haste?
Does shockwave generate rage?
Stahp. You’re gonna make me cry in public 😭
what do you mean, a line drawn?
The equal sign (=) ?
Or like why are they equal and is one actually better than the other
In general I have seen Vers > Crit & Crit > Vers. Other than above is one of the few time I have seen it listed as = .
Yo, is there any rotation for def cds (prio) or is it to have 1x shieldblock active and max ignorepain?
🤷 DPS-wise, you just sim it. Defensively, you're only picking between one stat or the other when it's equal ilevel pieces. You don't really need to overthink it.
IP burns rage, you actively use it to stop from capping
secondaries after haste are pretty negligible for pwar
Shield Block should be 100% uptime. Use IP to prevent overcapping rage.
Use Demo Shout on CD
I am not just curious if there was more to it.
It depend of many factors like pulls size key lvl (how long you going take to kill a pack)
Oooo, that’s a good explanation
But I do feel like the other stat we wanna aim for is crit up to a certain point to try and maintain 100% uptime on Wild Strikes (aka flurry)
I love WoW quest NPCs. "There's no time to chat" *makes you wait until they're done talking for 30 seconds to get the quest
FF = "The world is ending but here's a 20 minute cinematic so you understand why"
+1 Rollyson
i go for crit because i like seeing big flashy numbers
Does setting my loot spec to prot mean I won't loot dps trinkets?
you still wouldnt prio crit over ilvl or haste so i guess once youve exhausted all that then you can hit the sims
yes you will loot tank trinkets unless they drop for everyone
BIG DAM
Yes and no. Some trinkets drop for multiple loot specs
unga bunga strong
Sort of reminds me of when we got devastator as a talent in legion but also before that. When we had the extra crit for shield slam and what not
I'm trying to prot offspec as well as SMF main spec and figured I'd just permanently be in prot loot spec so I don't get two-handers
But I never got an answer from like Sal and other prot theorycrafters
Check dungeon journal and set it to each loot spec and you'll see what drops for what
generally you wont get the actual good dps trinks in tank spec tho
but ye it depends
Suppose I'll just run current spec then
At least until I'm satisfied with main spec gear
It started feeling bad after I got three ilvl upgrade 2-H lol. Thanks for the help <3
BIG DAM GANG UNGA BUNGA STRONK
do we take molten shield or hearth shield?
Have our stat weights changed?
It's in the pins; scroll down
what are the must-have macros you guys use? except for avatar + demo
ava+demo is not a macro you should be using
Sometimes it won’t come up together
because you use them on CD; you don't go out of your way to use them together
Blood fury ava
Sometimes you also don’t talent into thunder lord or booming voice
I mean yeah but some people don’t
Now I talent into BV always but I’ve seen other prot warriors not do it
On god
you also dont want to tie ava to a GCD on prot
which is why i assume that macro is still floating around
since demo used to be off gcd
Gimme my old one shot macro back
What’s your ilvl and your talents?
my friend has 372 ilvl and has 17k
What’s your health total at?
i dont think ive ever looked at my stamina stat tbh
It's not low
338k
That is literally the last stat you should pay attention to
Short answer: your friend has higher high budget pieces and you have higher low budget pieces
all above 370
but he has like 40k more hp than me?
talents?
He's probably using Enduring Alacrity
and endurance training
HP is not something you literally ever think about
well i havent played that dung on prot yet but im gonna go ahead and say its not a stamina issue
Like pretend it doesn't exist
Is that the other?
thats mine
No offense to you but holy shit are people overthinking this spec lol.
what's the name of the crazy fire damage trinket again? You get it off a mob in azure span
ye the mobs are overtuned thats the issue
Integrated Primal Fire? That one?
thank you!'
some of my deaths
when you see someone putting a +17 NO in group finder and they havent done more than a 15 before you know it will be a good time
there are 3 of them, they dont each cast it every 5s
You run
pumpt dps
stun casts
all defensives up
once cds over
I RUN
but the issue is they spawn a lot of small mobs which are killing dpses
So can I ask why instead of acknowledging that the pack is just overtuned, you started being overly concerned about how much stamina you have?
Not everything is your fault my friend
u can always improve
blaming blizzard for failing key is kinda bad strat
sure but if you're getting to the point of asking about how much stamina you have...
you guys think using valor on shield is good idea
seems like a good use of it right?
the last pack in TJS is overtuned yes, similar to 2nd boss in NO
damn shit ticks for 25k every 1s party wide on a 17
I'd say so, provided you're not upgrading a shield from a +2 or something
yah its a +11 shield
Are embellishments still not important? Pinned says maybe +0.5-1% per embellishment
Hmm, what if you get a shield on your first vault
ill be sadge
man i thought they nerfed us again lmao
XD
not my problem other tanks are trying to tank without a fkn shield
Surprised you're still playing the spec; it's total garbage now
or armor
Deadge spec
the fkn role icon is a shield and every clown class is tryna tank with their fists, their wings. or their claws
Apparently the only way to get max ilvl gear outa mythic plus outside of boxes is valour
total garbo
I wrote on a post on r/competitivewow that several top teams will do a 20 first week, got down voted to hell...
plz someone call mwahi to pin that this spec is dead and disenchanted
Last 3 upgrades and valour is capped
Imagine people thinking 20s weren't going to be done first week 😂
bold of you to give an opinion different to the echo chamber in reddit
And just think, this is the B squad doing keys right now
PEople are paying 400k for a +10 in some places... makes sense they dont think a +20 is possible
Hi guys,
What alch trinket is btr for port warrior?
The versa one or haste?
Didn't you know that subreddit is where real knowledgeable ppl go to be oustrisized
Most of the top teams are busy in RWF right now
haste
I learned my lesson
wait ppl rly thought m20 werent going to be done in the first weak? absolute clowns
@ionic fern I hate when annoying people are decent at the game
kekw literally can gear up to 408 to do them
also hi ily
- it's decent affixes this week
how dare they
any one know how the ruby whelp shell works? do we want to use it on enemy, allie or nothing?
if i craft elemental lariat now without an infusion, will it cost me another spark to add an infusion?
No, recrafts don't require sparks, just the initial craft
Any guides on what to use spark on as warrior 🙂
Besides the neck ofc
i hear the neck is kinda what everyone is doing
So is there any guides? 🙂
The pins has recommendations
but realistically just use your sparks on where you're failing with ilevel
Prioritize shield/weapon since those are your two most impactful slots
Well have those on almost 400ilvl
So just thinking if there is anything big besides neck
Yeh prob need tier there so
How much ilvl would you need a ring to have to replace the defensive cobalt assembly ring, it can be around 10-12% recovery from the proc alone.
Neck seems like best choice, especially esrly since you cant tell where you’ll get tier
And neck also works if you play like fury
Unlike shield
If they don’t nerf it by 80% it’ll be bis for entire patch
Well already have the neck, thats why im asking what there is besides the neck please
Same goes to the turtle trinket
Anyone know of a crafter who can make the elemental lariat?
guild leader just sold the recipe for 2m on A52
so no
don't know a crafter with it
How much is prot self heal? Or is it mostly mitigation?
mostly mitigation
indom + 10% leech
but they do have some self sustain now, but not dh blood dk etc levels
Word. I’m playing vdh now
also we have pain and gain
I like them playstyle wise, but the aesthetics are not for me I don’t think
impending is clutch
So nice when you sre initially gather and our of range of healer
Just found someone charging 400k.
Did y’all level prot or a dps spec
Prot bc I spammed dungeons
price depends on server i imagine
prot, gather all the mobs and aoe down
Yea rare recipe right now. Apprently this person spent 9mil on the recipe
What's roi?
Also I put armor spikes on molten defender what are people putting on the neck?
Return on investment
Oh yes
They iwll make a lot of money I'm sure
What is "infuse with power" slot what goes in there?
lmao. It's still the best tank for M+
I was memeing.
its actually not bear is sleeper rager right now
Can anyone help me out with spell reflectable abilities? The spreadsheet isn’t updated unless I’m looking at the wrong one 🤷🏼♂️
The one in the pins is updated
The one in the faq channel isn't (or wasn't last I checked)
Thank you very much, newer to discord and didn’t know where pins were
❤️
can someone help me with the big zephyrhit ?
Dathea , make it - i spot, but if shes do it again the debuff is still active
use 3 haste gems for neck, right?
With the lariat, I’d just swap to jewelcrafting honestly or level an alt with JC
i told him the same thing
Cause unless you’re actively gonna use that initial and make more off of it, it’s not gonna beat the order maximum for lariat
Public work order plus potential guild orders with another guild
I have friend with 1 gold capped toon working on 2nd
is anyone here playing sonic boom + rumbling earth? 
no
dragon roar + thunderous words does equal if not more dmg, if you include the 15% bonus to DW+Rend
also burning an aoe stop for dmg tends to be bad
especially in pugs where you can't trust folks to interrupt a stun on the tank
the conversation ends at u are using a stop for damage
how are u getting to AA speed then?
You lose on rend and deep wounds dmg too
its the bottom talent (1h spec)
i mean obv i wouldnt use it to push, but just looking at dmg output here
no if he doesnt take leech he cant take furious blows
ye
oh ye 1h spec is 5% dmg also 😄 i forgot haha
not disagreeing, but is it really 5% dmg or just AA dmg
Heya I kind of don't fully understand this mechanic from the Nokhud Stormcloud boss, so you actually really don't want to kill the balls with your circles that spawn?
yea, do what you want, its just not a great pick
Hello in the shadow moon dungeon am I supposed to tanking the worm adds at the worm boss? Or do I just ignore them.
No, they give a damage buff that stacks
you general wanna run over them so you get 10 stacks of dmg buff, and then keep running over 1 every 10sec to refresh the duration
u ignore them
Pretty sure they aren't really tankable. They just do worm stuff
Dps kill them
Aaah yeah that makes sense indeed thanks for the tips!
Great thanks
🪱
hmm simc is a bit misleading when testing the Shockwave talent, as it doesnt use Shockwave on CD if you talent Sonic Boom 🤔
I got jade plus 12 key. Is it a nightmare or not to bad
whoa, the Simc quick sim only gets out 1 TC during the initial Avatar duration 🤔 is it really that bad in ST?
even with the 50% dmg from UF
i did it on an 11 the last pack is a nightmare so cc and a ton of interrupts
i think nom explained it awhile ago
in ST you basically never tc
but if theres 2+ it instantly becomes better
ye ok checked the quick sim with 5 bosses, and it uses TC 6 times in the initial Avatar window
SR dark claw as often as yo ucan and it doesn't feel all that bad. Just make sure your group has their interrupt key bound
Which add does dark claw?
but no clue why it does TC -> Revenge -> SS -> Revenge -> SS -> TC during Avatar 🤔 thought Avatar meant to TC weave?
ur over thinking sims
was just trying to see the prio list to see what im doing wrong during my initial rip of all CDs
since i feel like im dumping 5-6 IP
Any embellishment pins? whats the guidance with those?
We don't have a glove enchant right?
yes, scroll down in pins a bit
This is one of the first packs in Burial Grounds, so if I understand correctly a Void Spawn can spawn in the midst of one of the 2 packs and the group should scout which one and not go there?
correct
Seems outdated, no info on the helm which was bis on beta
and was nerfed since.
high ranking m+ chads are doing weapon + fang and elemental lariat.
absolute trash
compass is ok and so is shell for now.
Have you guys got any decent loot from the new raid yet? 😄
is it me or spikes are doing like no damage?
No they do like no damage
Did it get nerfed or something
From beta ya
Feels like the +proc -dmg recent live change has shifted it down on my damage too
Like always sub 1%
cuz its a dps loss to not line it up with avatar
you get +50% dmg during avatar with unstoppable force
but 90% of people dont know that
Guys, can we put an order for an Elemental Lariat public and ask for quality?
instead of 20k itll crit for 50k during avatar
no
when you crit 5x 60k tclaps

i spiked 150k on trash in vault and my co-tank called me op
And how do you get it at higher ilvl if ure not a JC?
Guys is the dodge parry trinket from the raid any good?
had to unequip shield for terros to make him shut up for a bit
we got it from HC and im not sure if i should need
i got 4* wwith public order
🤷♂️
its the best tankt trinket in the game
yeah its yours lmao
does good dmg, gives 10% haste proc, gives windfury effect on enemies, makes enemies take more dmg and gives you an absorb
cool thanks!!
Dodging nerfs like DHs/BDKs 
ya thats unexpected tbh
Making everyone play what they like? Preposterous, not in my game
whats the play vs the small sha in the end of Temple?
they just hit for 150k each, and cant be blocked or anything?
just stun and kite?
hmm, 2% dmg 🤔 but this is without calculating the str buff ofc
my 379 Graal tooth did more dmg
thatst not even counting the str gain during it*
the main thing is the str during CDs
i said that yes 😄
but the str builds up slowly, so doesnt benefit from the main hit of Dragon roar etc
unless i wait for 6 stacks then pop all
pop it 10sec before CD
the first boss in ruby, does the adds interact with her shield? The adds were dying so slow I got frozen and sure I wasn't tanking the adds exactly on top of boss but still confused.
Hey Guys, how are you? I have a question regarding ignore pain. Should I just hold the up time as high as possible like shield block or do I need to retrigger it the whole time?
And do you have also sometimes problems to hold the aggro in aoe situations?
you shouldnt focus on keeping up Ignore Pain, you only click IgnorePain to prevent going to 100 rage
never any issue with AOE aggro tbh
probably just a dps issue
they kept raging that "i need to tank the whelps on boss or shield will kill them".
Im guessing its 50/50, they can't get both whelps and shield down without both stacking ontop but yeh, def dps issue xD
but they were implying it had some mechanic with the shield and just confused me
yeh, i was just picking them up with leap and was bit slow to go back
Does anyone play protection in rated BGs? Is icy veins reliable source for a build and rotation? Can’t find any info to help me out here, seems niche.
leap+TC
or save Ravager for 1 pack of whelps, and Roar for another
or Shield Charge
probably best bet is to try #pvp
Ty
Is it 11-15 for the Primal Focus?
ye
Dps issue bc the tank didnt help 👀
Unless there is a mechanic that prevents you, you should be stacking everything anyway
Yeah boss comes to the whelps right away usually
I just jump to whelps and cleave boss on them
Quick spark question: Are the BS legs with haste-on-new-target worth running if your sole focus is m+ tanking? Or are the helm a better general choice?
Actually... @tender cove Did you kick the channel? It becomes kickable around 80% through channel
Anything I need to do special with the additional plus 10 thundering thing
As a tank
If your dps are tunneling clear or you'll get stunned
i dunno wtf i did but 42 turn in thingies
guys what point u removing to get the cheat death at the end of the talent tree
if u feel like u need it?
guys, decoration of flame is a good trincket ?
yes
pre sure its good anyways
Anyone have a good route for broodkeeper?
any good guide on prot warrior in pvp ?
Start on the outside opposite frost, that's where the adds come from first. Then go clockwise, as the adds do.
We going haste/vers or haste/crit on lariat? And then str/haste gems, or pure haste ones?
im doing haste/vers x2 and mainstat/haste
yeh, after having redone it on 11. Def a dps issue and not a me issue lol... Ruby just feels so overtuned regardless
thundering is going to same color that flashes on you right? Or is it opposite color?
opposite
okok, ty
always 3 positive 2 negative
it's just a lore free forgestorm
incredible
Ive seen fury war with intel 2h mace so..
What should I craft with my sparks, I just found out about them.. been living under a rock
Any of you do leech enchants?
This week I'll take all the leech I can get
It's sometimes pretty scary without a real healer
This week would be so much easier with tierset + working BV ngl
GAMIN
where does the 405 item increase drop, just raid?
:yoink:
I made 405 shield
11-15s
- quest to kill razza on normal
- 10 primal focus, they drop from 11-15 keys or any heroic boss
anybody got a weakaura for Sudden Death proc?
- max rep

yes that too
With m+ in game, idk if i would want to drag myself into max renown grind rather than m+. If u didnt do grind before season, just dont do it at all, for infusion.
yeah
some of my guildies got 25 renown
and like cool but
i got the same thing in about 10% of the time by doing keys
(and so did they)
Yea its just a slug for minmaxers and those that got waaay to much free time during first 2 weeks
Hey has anyone tanked Temple of the Jade Serpent yet? Right ebfore the end boss that group spawns a million little guys that get totally out of control how do you prevent that?
kill them
You can't prevent the actual spawning of the little guys?
no
do you guys swap on 2 or 3 stacks on dathea? all guides say 2 but the debuff doesn't expire until 3 for our team
Anyone know the name of the current best strength gem for prismatic socket?
What should my hps look like at end of average dungeon?
any boss reflects in the current M+ season that are giga enough for me to make a WA to remember it? 🤔
It might also be a sign of bad play
high hps is a sign of a lot of damage taken
nokhud second boss can get good reflect damage
That boss is pure cancer ngl
i mean yeah
What version of Primal Ritual Shell is top damage for people? I can't seem to sim it.
but if you have to run out of melee boss casts reflectable spell that does big dam back
I'm averaging around 10K HPS but my healer says he did some runs with another warrior who was averaging 20K hps and that I'm doing something wrong
can't say for sure without logs
Deepends on your pulls how much you heal
So many questions that don't need answers
Yeah we did 2 star on a 9 and he was still complaining lol
But I'm def aware there's a lot I gotta improve
what do we reflect on Chillworn in Pools? the Cold Claws?
Looking at HPS to gauge how a prot warrior is doing 💤
So guys i know lot of us ask, but whats the conclusion, what to craft?
pins
lol
lmaoo
i am at december 12 nerfs yet
there is anything further is there?
yeah mooman me too
I'd prefer going 3 tank 2 dps instead this
ikr
5 tanks ahh
nobody dies to random mechanics
Protection Warrior (S+-Tier)
Vengeance Demon Hunter (S-Tier)
Blood Death Knight (A-Tier)
Guardian Druid (A-Tier)
Protection Paladin (A-Tier)
Brewmaster Monk (B-Tier)
LMAO
Brewmaster Monks are just a 2nd, weaker DPS spec
Should just put on some plate armor and grab a shield at this point
Clearly kung fu isnt working
Into the fray vs heavy repercussions in M+? Do we have enough haste that this point to not take heavy repercussions?
what ench we goin for MH, finally got one from m+
Yeah I've been running ITF, but the pinned build says HR so I was wondering
Primary stat or frozen
3 ruby depletes in a row...rough night 😦
Second boss takes so long, going to be fun on tyrannical
gonna be jogging around the map lmao
the healer struggled a bit entire run but got worse and worse and I think he just lost his nerves because he kept saying "sorry sorry" and playing worse and worse xD
Lucky for us there's a fountain on the opposite side to catch a break lol
haste vers sword or the one with the proc?
Sim it
I ran an 11 with my disc friend, 470 ilvl but she was malding haha that made my night
I would take hast Vers just bcs mastery sucks
i said that to myself as i typed this
proc weapon is pretty bad.
Proc rate is very low tho
its like another devestator without the reset effects
and mastery is doodoo
do you guys have any strateigies for filling the vault with the highest gear? (besides just doing the highest you can do obviously), like for example, Algethar academy to me seems easy this week, so can i just do it 8 times at the highest possible, and it has the same effect as me doing random high keys ?
"your attacks" tends to be revenge ss etc
Just tanked my first ever plus 10(Jade temple) one day I’ll be as good as u guys. Jade temple gets crazy quick lmfao
Just do the highest you can, chances are your highest vault will be your pick
That last pack humbled me
guys so I wanna get a sheild off of the ah and idk where to find it
The last pack is a lust pull for me
What was your play with the left pack, the one with the 2 ranged dudes
Before the last boss?
Just charge in
Interrupt tidal burst
They don’t do anything else
No fear of pulling the other packs?
Pull and call for kicks, but dps always pull right pack so
found it
I pull the right back out a bit
It's not as dangerous as last pack, can be chained from both sides
To avoid stupid dhs
@cinder storm did you do a higher nokhud key?
Is Jade considered on the hard end or easy end for this week? Just curious how the other dungeon are gonna compare on plus 10
I think easy
Only difficult pull is the last pack before the last boss
its easy with a group that presses buttons.
last pack can brick keys if your all too mongo
You gotta have interrupts tho
but you can cheat and kite it at 30%
:ooo:
Not yet, was just faming keys 6-8, people say NO gets crazy after 12
Mhm ye
I just wonder if I do smth wrong
As the packs in the water area onetap me :D
You might, but also need to chain kick the other guy, only time I struggle there was with a shammy heals
Tried 12 nokhund today, couldnt get past 2nd boss , storm ele.
The bosses seem fine
Battle-Scarred Veteran: Has anyone tried it? Me when I go below 30, no buff appears, nothing at all...
the storm elemental boss looks hard until you understand how it works, you basically need to stagger the soaking of orbs to reach and mantain as many stacks as possible
Except that the last one can pull you in while quaking
Probably because it's broken
It procs off pre-mitigation damage. It's probably not buffing you because it's on CD.
Can literally proc at full HP
really ? XD
yep
what an ugly talent
can you remove embellishments?
recraft it
and yeah just remove during recraft
or change to new optional
like a flavor pocket!
thats only for optional reagent ones tho
i cant remove the embellish effect that comes baseline from a specialty piece
what build do I want to be runing
@mortal brook hi cute stuff
we got some builds in those pins for ya my friend

i have a question for you guys concerning the Primal Council fight. So the 1 important swap is on Opalfang so he's moving between the two tanks. Now since I guess you want all bosses stacked on top of each other, how do tanks usually handle keeping threat on 2 targets in a tightly stacked pack? Am i overcomplicating this and in reality each tank has 1 important boss on them at a time and sometimes 3 of them might be hitting me, or just one?
i generally had threat on 3 of them and we just swapped flame and opal it didnt really feel bad because kick rotations on the lighting one.
never felt in trouble at all.
Do you recommend BSV in 15 ? i will ocasionnaly have 1 really big hit but not that often so idk
nice, thanks for your answer pops!
only if you feel you need it right now.
BSV is broken and not worth taking in any content right now.
i wnat to remove it to get elemental lariat. its possible?
In what sense is it broken ?
It procs based on pre-mitigation damage
Meaning it can and will proc when you are at full HP
Like you have a shield with armor spikes makeing it embellished? Yeah just recraft and remove the spikes.
Then you free up an embellished to wear a lariat, etc
Dark Claw is melee attack correct?
But is it intended ?
in last boss temple
No
ok ty
It's magic
don't see any options to remove it in the UI
What item are you trying to remove the embellishment from
shield
which shield
primal molten
Can you replace it with a flavor pocket?
is it avoidable though?
Flavor pocket isnt an embellished but should be able to override
yeah possibly ill try that
No idea. You can reflect it.
So the lashers on the academy boss... does melee just need to fuck off to narnia in half a second after stacking then or whats the play to not have anyone get instantaneously one shot before you can get a 2nd global out
Looking at logs, no it's not avoidable
Or they could not be total morons and give you a second to get aggro
Living the high life now boys.
