I use leveling guides and auto turn in for everything
i don't quest
waking shores obsidian bulwark
if you want
could do haste/crit. Still good for fury but somewhat better for prot
haste crit is probably more consistent between the two
i just go to the yellow ! guy and i go to where he says on map and kill the things, fialing that type into wowhead search
I've been using restedxp. No looking up shit required; you just follow the arrows and click on shit π
found the super duper soaker shaman we talked about one time in SL
I didn't pay for it. I got a leaked version/string 
then thats good 
So I heard about an eng explosive to knock adds in RLP, anyone know how that works?
so does anybody know why slapping ravager with a @ macro and dragon roar in the same macro..just doesnt work
Shoot me a DM if you ever want the hook-up lol
Because they are both on the global cooldown
no as in
even after the global is over. whichever is second
just doesnt worjk
work
Macros don't work like that
If both abilities are on the GCD, it's always going to try to cast the ability in the top row first.
Works for what
The reason it works for e.g. Avatar+Ravager is because Avatar is off-GCD. So it's basically just trying to press both buttons every time you hit the macro.
It can't do that if both are on the GCD, so it fails after the first ability in the macro.
i think paying for external wow things to be cringe like paid simulations or rested xp or i don't have other good examples
but im against these types of things in general, sure if its in the game, i guess
Eh, I mean, it's wrong for them to charge but I don't mind paying for it if it's worht it to me
I've used Zygor since mid-BFA and I have no regrets paying the $10/mo
But obviously I also have no problem pirating it
ehhh i just wouldn't spend the money on a sub for something like that to begin with
That's fair. I don't blame you
my limits of using cheese strats to finish a game knows no bounds
RestedXP isn't a sub fwiw. It's a one-time charge
Which I mean, still something oyu ahve to payf or when yos houldn't
I can't type today, holy shit
i find some old game i want to play, and i'll do whatever it takes to beat it, force all the enemies to come to one specific spot, grenade spam, rush the spawn location, whatever it takes
no shame for doing cheese when games are bs imo
Did you do the dung pie strategy to kill the capra demon
oh, i didn't play dark souls
i didn't even make it past the black knight
lmao
fought him one time and he beat the shit out of me, never ever played dark souls again, i would play blizzard dark souls
What gem is best to put in elemental lariat?
are all of the BS weapons the same?
whats best spot to put the 3rd pull in Azure Vault to avoid the whelps? pull back or stand in the alcove?
main stat + haste and either haste/crit or haste/vers for the other two
Ok thank you!
i played and beat lords of the fallen, cuz that game is dark souls lite
its the same concept but slightly easier
i love when someone accidentally pulls the first whelp on Azure Vault, and everyone just insta leaves. not even trying to CC and kill it or anything
I am almost positive they don't pull unless a player stands in the circle, but I pull them to the corner there and luckily, dps have some semblance of rational thinking and they kick the farthest add, only in that pack
like i CCd the whelp for 4 seconds, and 0 dps did any dmg to it π
first 2/3rds dual wield agility, then i got fucked up by a 2 in 1 boss, swapped to 2h str hammer/sword
which corner?
You don't even gotta fight that guy π
ok, got my rings
lol, from failures to a 3chest and getting mocked for having attitude in the group about dps being below tanks xD
that was hella quicl
but ill take it xD
Exactly where the white arrow line starts
ah ok so you pull back ok
the redemption high is real, cant lie
proof what i am warrior
was what i was trying, and no one was interrupting so they didnt move .... and then DPS leave when whelp is pulled π€·ββοΈ
What I do is, pull first two of whelp is coming, pull rest when it's leaving, plus your healer will be happier if other people aren't kicking stunning
If it's far I pull all 4
yeah for real if blizzard made a dark souls, i'd be down to try that
Mage tower is the closest thing to it
Hey guys, i'm looking at my logs the last couple days trying to figure out what I need to be doing better. One main thing i noticed is I don't always have Shield Charge up and my rage is basically too low to do a proper thunder clap. Any advice on pulling better/chain pulling?
in lords of the fallen, your souls start to drain at the place you died
so, if you died far away with 2700 souls, best hope you know a fast way back to there
Thunder Clap generates rage; it doesn't cost rage π€
Post log
Where can I go see what I can spend my Sparks on?
does the strike twice weapon work with devastator?
dammit, i missed the boat to get a practice run in
ooh ok ty man would've been nice xD
Guys i am thinking about switchin my spec to Prot warrior.. Is that possible without losin so much gear ? Ty for respond
yeah ofc
I put a fierce illimated diamond in my lariat and it doesn't seem to be proccing at all. Am I missing something?
I have sent u dm sir
you just need a 1h and shield and now you're a prot warrior
Help
What about my stats? I almost got no Vers :/
Really ? I'm glad to hear that . So you're saying I can make it?
Yep, just gotta learn how
Good luck!
Thanks!
is BiS even really a thing in Dragonflight?
were do i find talent trees ?
In the pinned comments
Main stat gem doesn't proc
Question - should I buy the highest quality of Alloy to craft the Molten Defender?
see, here, i like the numbers for ilvl but i hate the enchanted Y/N things
this whetstone trinket absolutely SLAPS
it does indeed
its a fixed amount of damage no matter what
so it will do a larger % of your overall damage if your overall damage is bad π
Funny thing I've noticed is that SS is consistently my highest dmg button
Even in m+
with the damage intake in many of these keys you just prio SS for rage and IP dumps I find
my just now +14 π€ so i guess im just like nome on some points
30k overall +14 Temple
you play battering ram in keys?
I feel like I would die running barbaric training
not gonna lie i did a 14 CoS , sat in zerker stance
@mellow quartz can u post talents from that 17 temple
and clapped cheeks
impressive, you even swapped to Fury during the key?
Yeah I don't like barbaric training at all
And yes I player battering ram permanently
It's so good
im in rogues guild that u ran with was just curioous
just did an 18 TJS and I ran this
ty
someone teach that man how to fury , pst him personally
i guess you give up thunderlord or booming voice?
aint no way im doing a keystone tonight, but im gunna get 2 done tomorrow anyways try to get some kind of better 2nd option i guess
you don't play thunderlord
I gave up thunderlord for it yes
thunderlord is ghetto ass
I am NOT a fan of evoker healers btw
drop all CDs on the start of a pack
lmao gottem

I like good Evoker healers
those are kinda rare, tho
Drop all CDs so you can also drop kekw
i think thunderlords is neato but i don't use it in main build for dungeons
this new loot system in raid already causing drama
pitted against better talents is a better way to put it
i love the people with loot council enabled , top tier kek
problem is they kinda suck at tank healing
meh...ofc i get a ruby 13 xD
i feel like i already have unlimited SS procs, and just dumping all my rage into IP, even outside of CDs... and Battering Ram would make it even more π€£
More like bite the pillow
thats why i have barbaric training and dump revenge
ummmm hard for me to to say but i have had tons of dragon healers shamans too i think only a few druids and monks though
so easy to not cap
do another dungeon and swap it
im behind the curve on rio so i dont get much invites
even with that i couldnt even dump rage fast enough
i feel like my SS resets so often that i dont have free GCD for Revenge
i'll just say what im thinking and thats that all of paladin and monk needs reworking talents
the entire thing
not SOF?
you can do it on 10 or 11 then
but idk, you can also try it on 13
i don't think i've seen a single paladin healer since launch
sometimes I get into this super smooth rotation where its almost like dancing 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3 etc but i dont know why the rotation sometimes plays so inredible well but others not.
when i pop Avatar i can literally TC-SS-TC-SS-TC-SS without getting a single GCD for Revenge
its insane
sometimes i just click Revenge over SS even though its probably the bad thing
feels so bad to dumb 100s of rage into IP
TC does more damage than revenge in aoe with UF and during avatar
ye but does SS do more dmg than Revenge in Avatar?
my aoe is legit TC / revenge spam
depends on the mob count π€·ββοΈ
the question is always if you SS or you Revenge π€ because i feel like i slap TC on CD no matter what
seimic reverberation also pumps revenge
maybe in St i should do SS-Revenge-SS
and its rly hard to get a feel of π
Im a AoE kinda guy myself , single not so much
it just feels kinda clunky sometimes
sometimes SS resets a lot, sometimes it doesnt
the only time I really find myself TC+revenge spamming is tree boss area in AA, thats abt it
Yeah same
If you run yourself dry by exclusively sending tc/revenge
You actually deal less dmg
Than weaving a few SS in there
The only time you'd gain dmg by sending revenge big time over SS is if the mobs are a few globals away from dying
do you guys think its ok for tank to roll on dps trinket or no
depends what one
Absolutely okay
should I use the icy raid spec? first raid tonight.
just getting some passive aggression from a fury warr
what trinket
Raw dmg trinkets, like boon, grieftorch or whetstone are absolutely good to use on the tank
A dps player won't get more dps from them than a tank
the same damage as on a dps lol
is prot viable in pvp?
#pvp try here
dont be one of those chads
It's just the dps player greeding for his own parse
Assuming You both have equal trinkets already
If 1 of you has worse trinkets then the other, then the one who has worse ones obv benefits more overall from getting the new trinket
im having a hard time tanking the last adds of temple of the jade serpent. done all cds and still nothing. healer thinks im shite. is that really difficult or is it lack of gear? im 377 prot warr doing +12 TJS
kite it
Spell Relfect, Shockwave, then kite
Shouldnβt you always spam revenge for ss proc so u can reset the cd of shield block quicker ?
problem with kiting is the big guy spawns small adds
you cant really get aggro on those
i just did it now, its kinda weird to kite them tho as one of the guys summon new ones
that you have no aggro for :<
Well yeah
I just face tanked that pack on an 18 and it was 'ok'
SS > tc > revenge is the general prio
thank you
π€ how?
double wall and spell block helps
they hit for 250k in +13 π
Yeah spell Block is huge vs them
But your damage breakdown from 17 RLP revenge damage is lower than rend
Is that normal
hard to say yes or no to this, as your dmg might depend on pull size etc etc
in general spell block is huge for everything in TJS tbh
That's from AA16
Arguably the biggest aoe pad dungeon
slicing maelstrom looking kinda huge
It is
you use Slicing + Hoof?
Yea
Where is slicing maelstrom from ?
Court of stars
It's less overtuned than manic grieftorch and boon from raid
But wowhead bis trinket for war tank is both trinket from rlp
i see a lot of other people try to farm it as well, on DPS toons
but i guess thats for early ilvl?
% of damage doesn't matter. What matters is which one performs the best numerically. Doesn't matter if it's doing 3% or 8% if it's beating every other trinket.
the guides dont really update super fast, so a bit of things can change
Ruby shell is whack if you ask me
nah but i mean for DPS people it might be better with some stats when they start having higher weapons etc π€
that some "flat dmg"
I always knew its good
But it's mastery
So it's cringe
Yeah that ring owns
Crit/haste and weapon damage, yes pls
I just wish I still didn't have a world drop weapon
auto attack dmg ring from COS benefits from BAttering Ram as well i guess π
or get made
seems like a sick combo tbh
Yes, this is true; even for us it may be true. But you can sim to find the % increase of the non-fixed damage trinkets too
I'm also still struggling with 382 weapon
379 wep here π¦
If I had 418 I'd pull 50k every dungeon easyyyy
considering if i should craft wep maybe, but i cant craft it myself...
I am probably not gonna be playing much this expansion. None of the dungeons really hold my attention :/
I am out here seeing these 405 ilvl gamers and I have like 390 lol
the trinket was rumbling ruby... I dunno I just feel embarassed i think i made the wrong choice going need on it.. its def an aoe dps trinket.. kind of awkward? but cant tell cuz it was better than what I had
Rumbling Ruby owns
yah right? cuz i am m+ guy mostly
im only 388 π¦
Yeah it's super solid
Ok thank you
debating if i want to attempt raid or keys tonight or tomorrow in some desperate attempt
I almost wanna use the 389 Ruby over my 402 blazebinder
better than it has been worse than it could be
also debating if i want to change off name tankian, you have no idea how many times i get bothered to do rare spaws in open world or to "go tank" in lfr
Kek
is cobalt assembly shield ring better than a 415 haste verse ring defensively?
so which trinkets are good from raid?
Ruby
All-totem
Grimtorch
Boon
anythign else?
or is all-totem not rly good?
blood mallet estimation on raid trinkets
what are stat prios? how much haste should we aim for?
Yes
All-totem is super good for m+
In raid not so much
But pretty much all trinkets are good from raid
ah ok, even on normal ilvl?
That's just a sim question
all totem would be amazing if your primary stats was haste and crit mainly
I'm near 30% haste unbuffed feeling smooth like butter
my haste is poopy i think, but im 369 in some blues due to 6 helmts and 3 pants
Lots will be replaced by ilvl though it'll prob drop
at least it gave me a 379 helm with crit hste
what classes can soothe? rogue, hunter, drood and evoker?
hunter rogue druid are main ones i know of
rogue has the shittiest version, or it did it SL, its melee and on a like 20s cd as opposed to not that and instant or short cast and ranged and lower cd for druid
Had a hunter in ruby, who kept saying "tranq shot was on cd, sorry". Healer left after 2nd wipe... Looked up the cd...its 10 secs lmao
?
yeh, thats why the healer left, he didnt like trying to heal trough a raging dragon and then pack after firelord.
rogues tottally obilerate any caster types in keys as well
For every pug ive done this week, i understand why meta exists more and more xD
evoker has the only aoe soothe π
pwar, evo healer, hunter (any), warlock for cookies, fill, (demon hunter say)
thats what i assume meta is like for us
hunter aint really meta
can't self sustain for shit
but dw about meta unless your pushing top 0.1% keys
rogue/dh/warlock are the self sustain gods rn
interchangeable with fury warr, boomie, dh
plenty of mechs require ranged to be stacked on melee
also, thundering
is survival killed now i wonder
was very interesting getting to playing wit melee hunters again
probably fury
aint ever seen a fury not top the charts in my dungeons lol
fight seems super scuffed tbh
glad im not raiding mythic this expac
So I heard about an eng explosive to knock adds in RLP, anyone know how that works?
there is knockback, but no pools to catch the knockback?
hope the boss gets more interesting later, otherwise its a fairly boring raid to watch
just waaaay too much going on and its a total visual clusterfuck
none of the bosses have been anything cool to watch
https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/arms/DAPFERRUUEVRQRphQRCQAOVUURURFJUWhEAUCEQ he was playing this as arms
no idea if its good or not
"GG Tank" ......they all died to splinterbark
il keep sayin it, dont pug academy
people are small brain
no its literally "do the mechanics"
do they rly say GG tank when they die?
yes
kekw
lul
some people man π
id leave so quick
"i died, it must be the tanks fault"
i figured that fight out LONG time agoo (like 3 days ago or less)
its one of those in out fights
first your in, then your out, then repate
just need to clear the stacks as the add dies (the one he spawns) - but I just had theee worst encounter in there with a healer who wouldnt heal or res cause i wouldnt go tree boss first
90 stacks of lasher toxin on you π€
seems like something went wrong π
People still farm their rio. Soon the gap of people you invite and not invite will be more visible. Naturally solving the problem.
maybe he honestly meant you were good, maybe a bit of a stretch π€£
I already not inviting people with less than 10 key completed
gunker fight in junkyard is an example of this that im talking about, the goop goes out, then it comes back in, on repeat, just, here on goliath, you are getting ppl to stack on you, so adds stack and can be cleaved
Sadly I'm in that boat due to playtime being shit this week
ive started doing this last 2 runs as well. If they dont have a good amount of keys AND very close to a timed key off what we're doing? no go.
was a 9, hadn't done an academy yet, but shit boys, do the mechanics
more you can all stack together, tighter pack of adds is and less chance dps can't hit everything up to aoe cap
what if that 10 key is shadowmoon?
someone i talk to says to go tree first and then you can just lust kill it

we should just spam +16 shadowmoon for the crafting shit π€£
IF only we could pick our keys
i need to learn more precisely how to get the engineering item from that one dungeon
this is basically all i do when my team is offline
tried twice now, didnt get it
spam 11-15 shadowmoons
What's our preferred tier slots?
the primal infusion? but why shadowmoon?
Easiest key to time by far
because its easy
yeah, burial is dead simple
Burial grounds, dead, kek
only done an 11 and was pretty easy yeh. At least in comparision to tree boss xD
burial is literally -5 in difficulty.
could be a different story with tyranical
first boss tho
CoS is quite easy too if you have people who have done it before
I did a 14 sbg with a group of braindead apes there, wiped twice and they stood on every single rune to summon the spirits, and we still had 4 mins left
Anyways, what's our preferred tier slots?
and the pack before last boss is also kinda big
i can 100% seeing the first boss blow up a group next week and everyone rage quits the key
loads of ppl don't understand about the white rune on the ground
Bit early to be talking about preferred tier slots. Just get 4 pieces of tier
ez to tell them
"sit on inner runes, dont move off"
can't really sit on them though or you drop daggerfall on them
i gotta be honest, looking back, that dungeon didn't age very well
i mean during the intermission lmao
yeah dont drop daggerfall on the runes
kek
thing is, next week is grevious, so, we are going to see everyone cry buff healer
100% this will happen, riots type shit
Which raid trinkets do we want? Need to do my loot sheet π
manic torch and boon I think
Declined to literally every single +15 with 392 ilevel and 1250 io. it's rough out there.
We're literally trash after the last round of nerfs you know
why do we keep playing man
Maybe tanks are just strong enough that there are enough people playing them 
Because we're too angry to quit
i want that
so people trash talk them
and they stop beign such asses
Does anyone have any tips for Azure vault's final boss? I generate so much healing aggro the Crackling Vortex's always chase me hard
stand still for 4s and the debuff goes away
use heroic leap to get away
charge out of the way when pillars come if in range
use avatar if needed to reset stacks as it breaks roots
if you talent intervene use that on friendlies
if none of that is available, die
if ruby and tree boss is hardest dungeons. Is valor and shadowmoon the easiest?
Tree boss is not a dungeon pal
you dont say...
did you have anything to contribute or were you just aiming to be as useless as you could possible respond?
Probably like SBG>CoS/HoV with SBG being easier
cool. Haven't really done cos df version yet but remember it from timewalking m+
It hasn't really changed much except for the engineer orb and the hunter trap. It feels like they moved a few mobs slightly too which makes them easier to body pull by accident
Worst part is 100% the area around the 2nd beacon. The constructs and the pack inside the building by the beacon (to the right, not the one with the sentry in the doorway) seem to be much easier to pull by accident than they were even in TW
Can you get away with disabling 4/5?
maybe even 3/5?
I wouldn't. No reason to deal with adds on 1st boss if you don't have to
You can't really skip that area entirely anyway because of true sight on the constructs
ahh, thats bit meh
Contribute to what? You called a tree boss a dungeon. Im good, thanks
when you guys are saying "tree boss" are you talking about AA?
yes
Trouble deciding between Sonic Boom/Rumbling Earth vs Troar/Thunderous Words. Thoughts?
no cap stones for shockwave
both are bad
Roar is more damage than shockwave
i l;ike it i just dont use it
And doesn't require you to hit your aoe stun on CD
shockwave is more consistent for pugs
#1 on raider.io uses capstones for shockwave. Just made me curious. I've been trying to make it make sense, but i cant lol
that makes sense
raider io people uses whack builds
Wouldn't it be better for pugs to be able to use your stun when you need it, not when it comes off CD
Not sure what you mean by more consistent for pugs. I want to be able to use my stops when I need to in a pug
So when you have all those poisons stacked for tree boss dont you just live and barely take any damage if you pop spell reflect shield wall?
Or even if you take Spell Block
havent you been stacked to 700k dmg per 2 secs?
The poison can stack up to 99 so...no lol
what level keys are you guys doing to where they live that long
10+ with pugs is a wild wasteland man
Don't you just take spell block for tree boss?
im doing like 10-12s and they are cc'ed shockwaved and dead before i get to 40 stacks
Yea thats what im saying...
Its still one of the hardest dungeons, does it matter if I call it tree boss, elemental boss or aa?
You can, yeah
You take no damage if you take spell block
and then the second time you pop last stand and shield wall
school boss 
Your initial question was spell reflect though, not spell block
Aaaand, we have a winner. That's what im calling it from now on, so fitting.
ok but we are complaining about modern problems have modern solutions
yeah but hits like a fcking bus
I just meant its schooling pugs xD
spell block is 2m cd right?
1.5
yeah that will be enough for only 1 or 2 phases of the 3-4 that may be on a 15
Yea so you use it the first time around and then pop last stand/shield wall and spell reflect and hopefully everythign dies
Another question. The explanation on wowhead is a little confusing. FbV or BV? Dunno how 15% translates into 30% leech
lets use math
reflect 1 charge
FbV for now because BrV is still bugged (to my knowledge)
Wasn't the damage profile high enough that it still won?
Because IP doesn't cap.
490k
SW is 40%, and SR is 20% for 5 seconds
The DR on spell reflection stays for the whole 5 seconds now, regardless if it reflects something or not.
this is some killer math but this equation also banks on the fact that you actually get 99 stacks on you right?
420k
IP does cap
that happens in less than 15 secs
Well if you're in the average pug, it's definitely possible, especially if you don't have a poison cleanse. And it happens really fast because you have like 20 adds
and thats only with 78 stacks actually
20 melees = 20 stacks instantly
It's 6am and im tired as hell and might just have misread nom but I think he said BV still wins, because it still adds the 15% and since IP breaks at higher keys, it doesn't cap and it doesn't lose value to the bug.
It's a bullshit design
But yeh, dont qoute me on it
Regardless, seems legit just seems like it seems coordinated stuns/shockwave and cd usage
But in a pug wasteland i can see how its insane
Yeah I think as you do higher stuff, it becomes sitll worth to use it for that reason
i think u think that the add phase lasts for like 5 seconds
Also I'm so happy nome is using BrV now instead of BV π
I suppose ive been spoiled
:kekw
Thats what im shocked by the 99 stacks dude its just nuts to me
that fast tbh
It's partially wild to me that there's no ICD on it
not that it stacks as high as it can
I'm more curious how he actually survived 99 stacks π
u dont lmao
think i've had like 30-40 as max and its been hell
Thanks, didn't think of saving avatar
I leave one beacon up for that fight
Prefer to do minimal pulls on that dungeon
Is there a build that lets me maximize my dps while still being prot?
i feel like my dmg output is very low
I did a +2 and accidentally body pulled boss with 3/5 killed and we just cleaved it down but was also a 2 so yeh
Figured maybe you'd do the same to save time on higher keys
prob u had the same problem as me and you are just not doing the rotation right
whatd you do differently?
spam more lmao
.<
do you have logs? if not, start logging runs, upload and post here and people can tell you exactly but often its ABC (always be casting) and overcapping rage like calcuhcimac said
gotcha
Just started this xpac to wow. Mained Fury, but my group needs a tank. Currently trying to learn/teach myself prot. Can I trust hekili similar to when I learned Fury, or should I forgo it whilst playing prot? I've heard that hekili will not prioritize defensives at all
I have been studying the prio/rotation
Try have a comfortable spam keybind for SS, rev, tc and IP. You'll spam all those a lot and IP is also off GCD so you can press it same time as the others. And the more rage you spend, the faster avatar comes off cooldown and the more dps you do.
Sorry for picking that up again, but you always want to go 4/5 no?
i think i have a fairly comfy keybind rotation for them all...my iLevel is 378 but i dont feel like my dps is where it should be
dont depend on a dps rotation tracker
I asked the question myself so no idea.
You should
is nice to learn rotation but in tanking theres so many situational stuff
like for example you might need to literally spam IP for a couple of gcds to survive something
Heard, thats what I thought. Just wanted to confirm with some experienced warriors. Thank you
It comes with practice and doing your ABC but logs is a must to tell you in detail
okay thanks
if you use rio addon? go into settings and enable "combat logging" and it will log everytime you go into dungeon
I suppose I'd have to learn that as I go. Im thinking during certain boss mechanics?
even during certain trash in some high enough dungeons in some weeks
for example the spear guys in nokhud this week

or those wolves in HoV
Are you using rev when it procs or constantly spamming it?
or get an addon like loggerhead that does that automatically
if im in a nice place with IP and my SB wont run out soon then i go nuts
every time my WA tells me too
What w/a are you using?
Hijack
the WA prob tell u when it procs
wait til vault and when u get mythic raid lvl gear
I like CoS because I enjoy watching DPS asspull extra trash.
yeah the section with the mana wyrms, sentry, and multiple packs nearby always makes me shudder
thanks, bud. i appreciate the help. Disc friends are all veterans and tbh im trash. They starting to play without me. Trying to catch up asap lmfao
then thundering and quaking goes off
I hate that specific part because the sentry generally means you pull the house too
just did a +15 pug and everything went exactly as planned, and zero ass pulls. it's like the dps had brains
I dream of having a 10-15 key where I'm below DPS on DPS.
Unfortunately I've already spent my sparks on lariat + pants as fury. Hopefully it doesnt screw me over long term as prot
youll get another spark in a week
interesting choice to make pants though
that's a tier slot
I don't want to get a Lariat 
by tier slot you mean the raid armor? tbh idk what im doing and wowhead said its good for m+. Havent seen myself doing raids in the near future
at what haste % will shield block become 10s cd?
not raid armor
even M+ gear can be turned into a tier piece
so you will need that leg slot free
in theory
ah, i didnt know that
it's semi new, as of last expansion
you can just elect to not use the leg tier piece, if it matters, but you'll probably have that slot replaced by then anyway
you probably will not primal infusion your crafted legs...
I made the engi pieces. Kind of feel they arenβt worth
Maybe Iβll keep the bracers for BR
so primal infusion creates tier slot?
No
I haven't even looked into it. Does the catalyst use sparks or is it just like the old one?
at the time when i got the legs it seemed worth. Now, finding out that you only get haste for about the first 10 sec of pull, doesnt seem worth
that haste is nice though
I think the embellishments we will use are frost fire belt and larriet
Long term at least
fuck lariat
Why?
the catalyst opens january 23rd, 2023
the currency isn't in the game yet
Lariat is free stats though
Use glacial phial, I've been making them for myself and it's doing 10-15% of my dps each dungeon
about 62% haste is 10second shieldblock cd
even in m+? WH says its best for raids. Mind you, I don't have enough knowledge about wow to think for myself just yet
how bad is a 'wasted' spark in the big picture
what do you mean by wasted?
as long as you have 4 in 30y, yeah.
Not that bad
made a helm and i am gonna get tier helm probably
so it made my spark helm wasted prob
I wonder if I can make a WA to track the uptime of the bracers to see what the average vers an M+ run is
true
And you'll get more sparks
Forgive me, 4 in 30y?
i guess i will
If you're planning on getting tier helm then I probably wouldn't use it on a helm
I made engi hem too
right... not like im planning to get tier helm but this is why people said not to use spark on tier slot
i like my engi helm but the tier situation is annoying
i guess I can just use gloves
Meh you donβt have to use tier in helm
Do you already have high ilevel weapon/shield?
389 weapon 402 shield
I just feel like the tinkers havenβt been that useful
Flamethrower is hard to use effectively
can make a 405 weapon tuesday maybe if i use my primal and tuesdays spark
Yeah, that would be worth it probably, depending on what level keys/raid you're doing
isn't the next spark in 2 weeks?
yes 405 lariat
yah I think making a 405 weapon would be good..
Yeah next spark is the 27th
Yeh every 2 weeks til you have 5 then it'll be a random rare drop
ill get another primal by then probably
so, considering I have lariat + legs now, should I replace legs with bracer next spark?
we have 3 more sparks until we start getting them from regular gameplay
Dunno if that lost spark will effect me much. Long term doesnt seem like it will, considering we only can have 2 embellishments
If you're going for long term, then you're probably gonna want like...lariat + helm or wrists
Depending on where your tier slots end up
only issue I can really see is helm is one of the boosted ilvl tier slots from raid drops
and helm requires you to be taking damage anyways
Yeah I consider everything through the lens of M+ though so that's on me lol
what is helm name?
Infurious Helm of Vengeance
wrist, lariat, belt with ring, weapon with adornment
ty sire
those are the best imo
could anyone take a look at our prot war and see what could be improved on? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/63jfkRBZVcbwt9vL/
They don't interfere with slots, they're all pretty decent
Yeah and in the end, outside of lariat they're all fairly comparable, or close enough that your biggest upgrade slot is probably the right play
am I crazy or do I not see a single revenge?
okay so im not the only one
also he cast shield block FOUR times
Allow me to recite my horror story
Imagine getting a 2 parse
"WHY WOULD I USE RAGE ON SHIELD BLOCK INSTEAD OF IGNORE PAIN"
He has a 35.7 CPM btw LOL
no haze pls learning step :o
and the healers saying "He's not taking that much damage"
Is he just sleeping
I wonder what my cpm on normal is
He pressed SB once on Dathea
How are the alchemy trinkets looking for us? Any good or na?
you should see my sennarth parse when I was in hour into having taken a trazadone to go to bed immediately after raid but i got talked into staying on
I have feedback for him, one sec.
My orange on it was 58 cpm
lol
https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/protection-warrior-pve-tank-guide tell him to read this starting at the beginning
lol
lmfao ty xD
I don't know why that made me laugh so much
made me fuckin die
Like we couldn't possibly give him feedback until he gets a basic understanding of the spec
which he clearly does not have
Download Hekili ezpz
God it probably would actually improve his gameplay sadly
||I like Hekili||
But if he's still got questions after reading the guide, have him come see us
We'll help all we can
hekili would help a lot
the rotation is pretty brain dead, im sure hekili isn't THAT far off
I don't like Hekili because it disincentivizes and discourages improvization
I think it's a useful skill for tanks to have to be able to know how to adjust on the fly
instead of just blindly pressing what an addon tells you to
I think the only bad thing Hekili does is what it says it does poorly, which is a bit too much IP
But it's probably good enough to get you through the basics I suppose
Oh right, by default it tells you when to use SW/LS doesn't it?
especially if one of them is your tanks
If they get it, make sure they go and disable it telling them to use shield wall/last stand tbh
you can separate out defensives
Oh shit, Luerce is here
That log is so rough, I checked for blocked hits, and I went "Oh, 80%, that's not that bad"
and @ionic fern hi ily
but it's 80% not blocked hits
:kekw

Goood morning.
You are a gentleman and a scholar
Nah Mwahi is the scholar. He did the hard work of writing the guide 
scholars don't write shit, they just read that and recite it back like they're google
This was me when I first got back to warrior after time off. I learned tho.
I have yet to have a pug pwar do over 15k dps
IP vs spells / SB vs AAs, correct?
Pwar is busted that the only spell you gotta presss is ip and you still kill bosses
i think their raid carried them; the pwar in the log died twice
You want to keep IB and SP up as close to 100% as possible.
o boffum, okay
I let ip fall off so bv works :>
If you dont have the rage for it, pull more.
SB up at all times; We can easily both get 100% uptime on SB and keep pumping rage in IP
EASILY 100% SB uptime.
In both ST and AOE
Ye
in fact, in a lot of cases, you continue casting IP while it's still at full or will overcap just to send the rage
Which is affected first? I thought blocks came first in the combat roll
They both are affected; any damage you end up taking goes half into your HP bar, half into IP unless it overwhelms your IP
Forgive me father for I failed to keep it up.
What fight is that?
It's just for BrV, you need IP to fall off before it works again
Sennarth
I only checked the Kurog fight if we're talking about the log posted earlier that people were mentioning
So, since we're talking about mistakes we made while learning. I didn't know that the "damage you do gets added to your IP" only gave you IP AFTER YOU PRESSED IP ONCE. If you dont have any IP, the damage doesn't do anything
I only checked Kurog because I like calling him Kellogg
But for the guy who asked for feedback: replace the pwar. Ez raid upgrades
I half AFK'ed my Sennarth kill and still got 65% block up-time.
π
there were logs to look at? where?
Oh, i diddn't see another log.
Iunno. I seem to easily get 88-94, but I struggle with 95-100 tbh
Scroll up a bit, guy called celestial king
Those ones were the ones posted before
What talents are you running?
They were asking if we had advice for their P War
The ones where I'm bad for not having 100% uptime.
the advice was to, uh, go to icy veins and look at your guide
@pallid quiver is this from celestial king?
Yeah
I dont know how people parae so bad tho
so we've seen those ones posted already; nothing new, just letting Mwahi know
I think this is what I ran on Sennarth? Iunno
He just simply doesn't know how the class is played, so he keeps dying in almost every fight
Ye but that he doeamt try to figure it out
im almost scared to see my logs
Like, reading at least a basic guide would give you a 50% parse
Ah, okay, i ran:
You don't know you're doing something wrong unless you spend the extra effort to realize it. Things are sometimes out of your control in raid, and if you don't know what to look for, you just don't know what's happening
It's easy to forget that if you do know what's going on, but those logs are from a normal raid. There's a very high chance the P War in question just doesn't even know or understand that there are guides on how to play specs
Side note, diurna, the 7/8 boss we are fucking MADE for those adds
Holy shit.
I took like no damage from them with shield block
i wouldn't know
pug life tells me i'm only allowed to play fury
:(
yuge
I tried doing the boss and i could do it, but I think the bear does a better job on it than I do. he has more self healing.
yet somehow I got an orange while not doing adds on Diurna
While having to call everything out for people
I got a 65 on sennarth and a 62 on Terros.
Nothing like a boss where you can describe a mechanic as simply existing.
I'm not gonna talk about my other ones.
My worst parse is Raszageth tbh
It's fine.
Yeah all you do is walk around pretty much and avoid where the adds are spawning. It's a healer check as long as you have a CD for the mortal wounds
Oh man I wonder if there's a map of Diruna's room
we could totally talk egg routes
There is somewhere
Mine's Diurna..
My DBM kept yelling at me to taunt off my co-tank for diurna, like.. no you fucking stupid addon. i'm not doing that
I think Wowhead's strategy guide has a painted on route or something
@ionic fern i hate you.

what a seemingly weird route
I hate you because I dont know how to play my class and your excellence highlights that discrepancy
We diddn't have a route at all, just ran around., π
Thats what we did.
Log.
We used that and it worked fine
but then again I used this awful one lmao
My eyes
wot
I call it "Don't trust the co-tank to not have the adds too close when you're near"
every time I've greeded for the 233 or 207 eggs they end up with the adds too close π€·
I died on Raszageth at the end 
Raszageth did so little damage compared to wednesday.
No idea why.

Do you guys place B-stance in raid?
So far, im perma bstance
Except if healers are strugglig or the other tank failed
But then again, my logs are shit compred to mwhai :(
Yeah I must suck fat peepee because I'm not doing good parse wise.
Kinda think there was a less vulgar way to put that in a public discord but alright o_o
fixed it
just don't want you to get spanked
Well, someone has to be the grey parser, the others appreciate your lack of hands
100% b-stance
B stance everywhere.
Actually, i think i went d-stance on the +16 Nokhud we did on the Tempest boss.
Cause we had no mage/DH/Hunter to remove the boss buff.

Mwahi whats your gear?
Now, or when i did the Nokhud? π
Cause my gear went from 379 to 389 from Wednesday to Sunday.
The 99 parses were 379
Well. Guess i suck then big times
I can't find Nokhud. π¦
But since we did it a few days ago..i wanna say, probably around 384 or something.
Doubt.
Time to analyze my logs today, woohoo
That's the best part.
And remember..when ever you feel like you're starting to look good on logs..just look at Sense's logs to immediately feel bad again.

Any Tuning known for m+? Kinda feel tjs is sick 3rd boss hurts
3rd..? The panda?
The only thing that hurts is the Jade dot.
Everything else is w/e.
Yeah exactly
Just pop a defensive.
But no known dungeon tunings yet.
π¦
There are way worse offenders than that tho.
π
Shit lived for every With weak dps feels so bad to fucking hustling on a low key Boss in a forty week
No idea what you tried to type.
But..if you are having low DPS that's not a tuning issue.
That's your DPS'ers being bad issue.
From the top of my head what' hurting the most:
-Jade temples thrash before the last boss
-Ruby thrash before the second boss
-Nokhud Raging Tempest boss (if no dispell on the boss buff)
-Nokhud duo boss (tornado + random shoot RNG can 1 shot someone)
Probably forgot someting..but too early in the morning to figure out what.
Sure there is a lot hurting. But havent run high enough yet. To See the real pain. Just from Memory tjs was easy back in the days. When vengance was a think.
Thrash?
I thought they removed thrash on NPCs
He means trash
Is there anything useful to know for Ruby pools 2nd boss trash
SPEAK ESTONIAN.
Spear 
living bomb damages mobs
Assign kicks/stuns and hope for the best.
People not stacking for germinate
K idk seems like ppl have to learn how to proper kick so they just random kick whatever is possible.
The flamedancer channel is probably the worst thing
Which has to be stunned/incapped/whatever
I'm not talking about blaze of glory (which is the near death thing), I'm talking about flame dance
Which afaik hits the entire group no matter where they are
OH, i remember one more..
The trash before the Arcane boss in academy.
Blaze of Glory is the thing that puts the swirlies everywhere
You bring bomb into pack
All of the trash issues stem from the fact that there are just too much cordination/kicks needed.
and don't desync the cast
isnt riftbreath the only dangerous thing about the wyrms?
ohhh
Double battleaxe
Not wyrms.
you mean inside the area
is going to fucking deck kids lol
plus dps not kicking leer
In Academy there is only Scepter with Arcane Rain (or something like that)
Nope.
The trash inside the arcane boss area
Wrecks you
Literally one shot people on a +16.
π
Tuning is fine though
That needs a stop yes

ok .. I do skull the Scepter so always interrupt Mystic Blast as well xD
It wouldn't be so bad..if there wouldn't be 50 IMPORTANT things to kick every trash pack.
My guild still wants to just yolo RLP and I'm done with them for the week
I tried to do some dungeons with pug's while waiting for my group to come on..around +10.
And we literally died cause i couldn't call kicks and people were monging them.
Dont know what you guys are talking about, Iβm sleeping in academy
Monotonous lecture shilling
RLP is a mythic raid instance kek
