do we still want to use our sparks on Lariat > 1h wep?
Well the lariat procs depending on the type of gem you have, not the stats
So this is mine, and it procs vers
right, and you can have 1 of each element proc independantly
also, in there, the illimited gem won't proc, it's not considered elemental
1776 crit, 3815 haste, 2579 vers, 384 mastery
I do believe I might want less haste.
nope
I'm fine to continue this haste/crit/vers and FUCK mastery setup?
if this works in raid/dungeon I wonder what 2 pieces I want to keep
But those are 385 right?
Is the trinket Battle Scarred Scale worth it at all? I got it in the vault, and other 2 options aren't great, but not sure I would even use the trinket over what I have currently.
385x2, but +340 seems strong
open vault as prot or fury?
340 secondary will not beat strength from 2 415 items dor example
ive been using the Battle Scarred Scale as its the only defensive trinket i have.
its been doing about 4-5% of my over all heals
@vital oak pretty sure it would proc 1 effect at a time at 2 procs per minute, so if you just wanted to focus on a main proc you prob wouldn't do multiple elements
But probably sim đ
whats more important - weapon or shield?
I need to test but i'm pretty sure i'm getting ~2ppm on each gem
Shield for def weap for off
@vital oak sure I could be wrong I'd be happy to be wrong if the embellishment was that op so @ me after you test it
it does, not sure if that gets changed with the reset tho
(in raids at least)
belt+wrists prob best for that set since they are some of the lowest budget slots
So I need help I cannot decide between the sheild the Trinket or the Tier set
I believe I was mistaken and it is 2 ppm overall, selecting from any of the elemental gems. Glad I learned something.
im new to wow, i have all sorts of crafting someone call me plz and hold my hand through all this crafting shi.(i wear a helmet)
Your best bet would probably be watching YouTube vids on the matter @thin ridge
I have a Seal of Duirna, with Ritual Shell on fire and blazing trinket. I have my lariat already. Canât decide if I wanna craft the PvP helm or Unstable frostire belt. Thoughts?
@vital oak damn was hoping I was wrong xD
What's the best keys to push this week
Hello there's nothing in my vault, what do I take
Same as any other week probably. SMBG.
Do boss minions proc Bursting/Grievous?
Usually not
No
Is there actualy dungeon thats easier with tyra compared to last fort week? Xd
Depends on key level
RLP probably easier and harder at the same time đ
Like 13-15s
Well they nerfed RLP bosses so should be easier.
Smbg is by far the easiest dungeon
COS last boss will be hard this week.
My talent change will be from prot to fury 4head
Yea smbg is joke, idk how they let it go live like that compared to rest
Or better, how they let rest go compared to smbg
is cobalt ring worth it btw?
yes
god dammit
nop
Is there a good website like TankNotes for learning all the mythic bosses as a tank? I really dont want to watch youtube hoping there's a good written site.
Hi all, would appreciate your thoughts on loot choice for GV
currently have 392 shoulders so 398 tier would be an upgrade, but my only tier
wait to reclear raid
Therefore I'm thinking of taking the 415 ring since it's one of our BiS and it would upgrade a 389 ring
check what you get
and if I most likely won't raid?
probably helmet
I've got a 402 helm
tier always
if you never ever wont touch raid again
should i raid again before picking?
then probably shoulders
yeah same story
youd hate yourself picking tierlegs, and then clear raid and get legs again
Yknow Iâll take it since I was able to solo the last boss after everyone died to time the key
but the shoulders ilvl are so much higher than what drops in raid
if u raid u should always wait for u to raid to choose vault
check the dungeons by highest key timed
If I had to guess Temple will probably end up being one of the harder ones
Because last boss
But then again I think it caught nerfs
So who knows
thats not all keys
Doesn't seem like sims are accurate for it yet, how does Static-Charged Scale stack up with other trinkets? Possibly replacing 389 Decoration of Flame
thats keys of that new week
sims are fairly accurate
but i guess not for that specific trinket
but its 2ppm on 1.5k haste
so its ~50% uptime
thats SUPER good
Yeah I meant specifically the trinket
Okay that's what I was thinking
but in the back of my mind like "no way wb loot is allowed to be good"
new xpac, everything is possible
So like I got that bag trinket and it gives me 2400str for 15s on a 1m cd
Last weeks wasnât great either
its random what it give you each time
it can proc any trinket
How is hoof as a trinket for us?
Usually I wouldnât cry too much about quaking but quaking plus new seasonal affix is troll
Ah I've been getting lucky
ring/tier chest or shoulders? right now im currently using 2 piece of the 259 shoulders/chest from the storm currency that give 259 stat.. my rings are 392 and 385, but i could invest in the frost fire belt to proc the ring?
so idk what i should choose
Should have yes
clear raid again, see what you get, and re-evaluate vault
Just means DPS will kick less
@strong forum What should i be looking for to make my decision
if i dont get a 2nd tier piece would i go ring or what?
sec ill ss
Gotta do some thinking on your own brother
Quaking/Raging is infinitely less painful on healers than grievous/bursting.
With the exception of a few ads in the dungeons being pushed into raging range and nuking the whole party (like the storm casters in Ruby), raging really only hit the tank - and us as warriors just giggled at that
Quaking is just... don't stack and cancel casts so you don't get locked out
That's why you immediately drop thundering during quaking week
I doubt you giggled at raging dark claw casts
instead of holding it for some dps/hps
Lmao @ this
Which ad was that?
One of the Sha adds in temple
Hey folks, I've been gearing up fury and wanted to know if I could slap on a sword and shield and tank m+ using my fury set
Melee magic hit
If they were the ones I could just stun, that's what happened to them
if they were the ones I couldn't, I kited them
Raging was a bigger issue with ads that could ignore threat tables (like the mana wyrms) or did AoE damage.
I canât believe blizz didnât touch those mobs with this dungeon tuning
Especially the last pack before the last boss of temple
Literally a âlemme just establish aggro and then dipâ pack
What is our crafting items? Coiuldnt see it in the pins
Didnât look hard enough
brb
any suggestions on what I should take here? leaning towards the wrists purely because of the gem slot.. Shield is pretty tempting though
Thanks
Tf always shield
But no craft weapon?
Fuck the socket
weapon here right lol
how is a grp supposed to survive the Thunderstorm on 2nd boss Nokhud? đ¤
thinking i could just craft a shield maybe?
or is tier gear like mondo good
Just take the shield
Itâs literally the most important piece of gear you can upgrade
yeah right fair enough
I mean honestly Iâd go highest ilvl chest over weapon or maybe tier piece assuming it gets you a tier set bonus. But run raid or something to see if you get tier before choosing
So do you guys think the haste trinket from the world boss is better than 372 hoof?
yes
I hope prices drop this week.. I want dat dere lariat and belt
Lariat wasnât very expensive to craft
Like probably spent less than 30k
Doing the weekly help factions out thing gets you like 15k itself
What rank did you get?
I swear I did some rough calcs and the total would be like near 100k
Thats a lot for me and I still not sure if I'll main prot
how do people handle the storm boss Nokhud?
i was picking orbs with Spell Reflect blocking the wind surge whenever i could before Lightning soaks too many of the orbs, and then i picked up some orbs during the Thunderstorm, but the rest of the orbs is just DPS/healer problem or am i wrong?
do you have to do something to use thje whispering incarnate trinket?
Hello guys, im new to prot warrior, what should i craft for first item? Im only 352 ilvl
nvm nvm
so how exactly does valor cap work?
should I spend down to 0 each week to earn the max amount?
seemingly the long term choice is Lariat, but other than that you can craft any high ilvl upgrade depending on your gear (maybe not in tier slot if you are raider)
it's a running total
no, the total increases
so you can use up to 2250 this week
yup
so basically just hold valor until I get a bis trinket or weapon
and I lose absolutely nothing?
because if so, that's pretty nice
ya'll ready for some 75m hp bosses this weewk
Usually people spread out around the boss and plays defense and picks up the ones in their âareaâ. The healer needs to make sure he has a lot of stacks going into the aoe phase to be able to heal everyone.
Vers sockets?
don't let dps steal all the orbs from the healer, they gotta pump
Look at spec, also using diff gems now
Do I go Tier Legs, Ruby trinket, or shield? I currently have 372 shield, 376 blazebinder hoof, and 372 irideus fragment for trinkets. Legs are 372 as well
Filthy green
yea ok, so when we wipe every time during the thunderstorm its not really me making mistakes, thx :/
was in a weekly +17 for 1hr+, and we never got down the 2nd boss
Plenty of JCs who are crafting for no charge as well
Itâs Tyr and grievous on NA. That boss will be hard.
Still tipped mine like 25k
shield sounds quite huge, if you dont have crafted shield incomming
But for mats I probably spent 30k or less
still waiting on my vault for a juicey +19 key
I did an TJS 18 for Vault. Only took 80min and 122 deaths kekw
be kind to your healers this week, they're gonna be sad in keys. tell them you're in defensive stance to make them feel better (don't actually be in defensive stance)
just get priests
wait we dont just pull the entire dung?
When doing dungeons, should i be in defensive stance or the other one?
slaved away for the +20 and still just gonna take 415 tier 
Depends on if you are dying or not if you play in bstance.
i better get a tier piece or a big ass trink
start in battle stance and use defensive stance as a CD for dangerous packs/tankbusters
Oh ok, I have been using it always lol
For the next person coming in here to ask about what they should take in vault.
Shield>tier if completes set>highest ilvl big armor piece/high ilvl goated trinket>Jewelry/weapon>small armor piece
run raid before picking a tier piece to see if it or another piece drops
Oh and of course if you still canât decide
Sim it
or pick leech everytime u see it
Or something
Dstance is a defensive "cooldown"
I would grab a weapon much earlier in that prio order
More damage from weapon
And a goated trinket is going to be more useful
Yea more damage
But not as much practical usage in terms of making your life generally easier in content this early on
weapons are also largely all the same, whereas if you see one of the good trinkets, snap it up
Which is something a good trinket or a high budget armor piece will do
You don't need survivability if what you're fighting is already dead
Also why only tier if it completes set? That doesnât make sense.
It does make sense
Not if vault is your only tier source until 5 weeks from now.
Brother
if you're doing no raid at all, sure, i'd prioritize tier from vault a bit higher
If your choice is like a 390 tier piece
Use CDs?
And a 415 in the same slot thatâs not tierâŚ..
Aye
The only way the tier makes sense is if it completes a set
No one is saying take a super low ilvl piece. Talking equal ilvl
well... i presume it's just ultra obvious to take tier over non tier at same ilvl
He said only if it completes set
^
Also tbh giving tank tier pieces in raid before dps is kind of trolling would rather get a for sure piece than wait 3 weeks until everyone else gets their 2pc
i got that horrible bag trinket from a WQ gives you random buff out of list of like, i dunno, 20 buffs, first buff it gives me "regen mana and get mastery"
reading between the lines, it's saying "might wanna take a lower ilvl tier piece if it completes set"
hooray.... at least its only 1 minute cd and its ilvl for now....
Tier also falls into âhigh ilvl armor piecesâ
i imagine griff is also looking at it through the lens of "what makes me most powerful this week"
which makes sense since barely any of us are crushing mythic raid and 20s any time soon
^
so making long term bis decisions aren't realistically on the table
I wouldnât grab a low level tier piece even if it completes a 2 set
Thatâs a cap
Tier is nice itâs not crazy big.
402 ring or 392 weapon, weapon and spend the valor right?
Vault is whatever tf you want it to be
And youâre not guaranteed tier from raid
we already have our 4set x3 in a talent
personally i'd suggest taking whatever from the vault is gonna help make next week's vault bigger
Some people care about completing the raid asap, others about having bis at the end of the season
I donât raid at all đ¤ˇââď¸
Exactly
M+ and pvpers care about gear at the end of the season bc that is when it ends
I care abt long term gains for pushing keys.
Raiders care about the start since you want higher rankings
i think this week its fine to take short term gains
because 20s are basically impossible otherwise
Wait wait wait
Should be able to do 20s this week
Not really
still gonna be tough
With a bit more gear and another raid clear
guessing there will be some pretty tough wall bosses this week
currently hovering around 1700 rio
Man is complaining about where I said I put tier, and then says he doesnât really care about tier
poor healers this week, gonna be tough

With the right keys 20s will be ok
its also tyrannical
hoping someone can give perspective - (I raid AOTC and M+ alot ).
Got this trink that is rated pretty good, but also a weap that is BIS stats (haste/vers).
Thoughts?
Yea just depends
i'd probably go trinket? weapon stats don't matter that much
weapon stats dont matter
There are currently less than 200 timed 20s
1h weapons give so little stats
I said it doesnât make sense to only have it their if it completes a set. I then said I wouldnât pick a LOW LEVEL tier piece over something with long term gains. Read pls.
Yes
you can also craft a decent weap at 405(or 418), compared to not being able to "craft a decent trinket"
Thatâs what Im making next week
hey guys, what do you think i should get from great vault? 408 spellbane cutlass replacing 385 version? or 405 seal of filial duty(fire damage proc pops a shield) and that will replace a 382 ring to go with my cobalt ring

Easy
My sparks atm are wrists and will be neck
pretty sure cobalt ring doesnt get replaced by anything unnerfed
so get the cobalt ring and stack it with the raid ring that gives a shield as well? @sharp bone
i'll just have to craft the belt to make it worth it i reckon
With 4 set, am I only pressing ignore pain to keep from capping rage?
hello guys. just need help on which to pick on my vault, Whisper Incarnate icon or 2set pc?? thank you guys
with 0 set you are only pressing ignore pain to keep from capping rage
Yeah but if I can revenge to get it rolling instead? Seems like a two birds one button situation
I only have 1 pc rn so I canât test anything
5% revenge damage will get broken immediately
if you wanna go full defencive sure, most play the dps cobalt ring regardless
its all damage
what embellishment is best for shield?
ty
its all damage but its still not a lot
And pressing revenant again just sets up a new IP?
yes
well technically all damage sets new IP
for 4 seconds after you press revenge
Gotcha ty all
this ring is good?
do warriors have a way to deal fire dmg?
trinket
trink?
what's the chance on the ring to proc with the fire dmg?
Decoration of Flame
yaeh, I have the trincket too
couldnt imagine the proc chance being that high
frostfire belt procs are another way
Whispering Incarnate Icon or 2pc set?? which weights more?
Is the stamina / str enchant for leg a lot better then the armor / str one? The frosted is like 1/5th the price of the fierce
Ayee guys!! About to switch from Prot pally to Prot warrior, I like the pally's range mostly. How is the warrior compared? I've been on icey veins & wowhead but I wana hear from a main!
warrior has 0 range
With 4 set nothing should really change
do they give equal strength
lmao
Lmaoo less than Brew??
server
[Static-Charged Scale] any thoughts on this trinket it drops from WB, static str, 1400 haste, damages you for 15k
Yeah.. both 177str.. so its 105sta vs 141 armor.. is the stamina worth an extra 25K?
which embelishment is bis for prot war?
armor is better imo
aside the neck
That's what I thought, all the guides say stamina tho.. weird
I can keg smash outside of melee as well as a few other things
hey there, is the kurog tank trinket good on Pwar ?
Prot should have titanic throw baseline
thanks @astral atlas
3 bricked 12s in a row
My Vulpera has 40 yard instant ability it's bis
tyrannical :
Heroic titanic same thing
Not the worst adjustment, I noticed the Warr has better movement than pally, is that true?
i really don't want to always have titanic throw lmao
sometimes yes sometimes no
disagree
anyone on area 52 get world server down
it will hit CC
im coming back to wow and iwanna tank, was thnking between Prot Warr and Guardian Druid, gonna do mostly m+ any ideas đ
on illidan just crashed and cant log in
yep same ok thx
flip a coin
all na crashed
Nah tich is up
did area52 die?
just your normal tuesday on wow df NA đ
it was u

i hope it re randomize so i get better loot lmao
Thank you! Last one, the warr has a few more def cd options right?
Anything has better movement than a wheelchair

crit is always more damage
idk ive never played prot pally
Once u go warr there aint goin back, so go play guardian druid or pally or whatever
and when u done with those boring specs
you know what to do
true
no prot pally has more defensive cds
Does it?
warrior is naturally more tanky that paladin
I mean
thats pretty much all i know
brew is more fun to play, if only it could be as tanky as other tanks
I don't think so, warr has a few options pally has 2
Like Ardent, GoAC and what else?
If you use them all on yourself but let's be honest you're also a raid utility person
Unless youâre counting bubble and BoP
Lmaoo Big that's true đ
i really wonder
are blizzard servers just so bad that they crash every now and then?
or is it on purpose?
not bad, cheap
well tell bobby to sell 1 of his 5 yatchs and get better servers for the team
There's no option to salvage mats / spark if you crafted the wrong thing right?
no 
Didn't think so.. sadge
first world problems - not knowing which item u want to pick from GV because u know if u dont take one, u wont see it again for atleast a month
Sentinel, Guardian, ardent, bubble, that other aoe damage mitigation
i mean, show me a popular online game that never ever ever has server issues
especially one that's been running for 18 years
back in on area 52
Thatâs just asking for them to increase game price
got to keep candy crush servers going for the RMT funding so we can play wow
How have you broski's enjoyed the new additions to the talent tree? Anything that stands out? I recall reading on Stances coming back or something along those lines
ya new trees own
whats the thoughts on the strike twice sword?
would making the primal molten sword and putting the well fed embellishment on it for my 2nd spark item be a good way to go?
I just got it out of vault, and it procced once in an entire SBG
oof
only once? dang
i have it as an option in my vault but i havnt decided
Do we have any way of proccing the Raid rings other than the belt embellishment?
Healers already running this week, grab one and put them in your pocket
for aoe is it best to spam revenge
408 Whispers Incarnate Icon or 402 Maul of the Earthshaper
Whispers kinda pog right?
I think it's always one of the trinkets?
oof, the armor proc trinket in the first slot? Sadge
On Broodkeeper (N/H), how many of your DPS do you send to adds vs stay on boss?
just enough to kill the adds before the next set spawn
Ahh, caveat, I've only killed him on normal, H/M may be different.
should i replace this leather piece for plate? or is the armor way more important?
ok ty
do not ever use anything that is not plate
Not sure if youâre joking or not. But you should not ever be wearing mail/leather/cloth.
Can we wear cloth, I have a vague memory all of a sudden of tanking ML with a cloth chest by mistake
not joking im new to the game
Ok then I def did that
and a fuckton of armor

and strength from the piece itself
You will never do that again unless blizzard makes something dumb like corruption again
the echoing void incident
The progress with lfr cloth legs incident
what helm u guys think is better? from wowhead stat page looks like that haste/mastery is better for me
Ilvl first
there the same
Finally decided to tank my first every mythic tonight! managed to do a +2 ruby life pools in the time limit - buzzing hahaha
Haste then

I had a few friends pug a pala tank on HoV 5 and he said he always tanks the Valkyr in the middle 
Needless to say they forced him to move with the dracthyr thing
lol
Anyone know with professions how to increase the 'skill'? Is it only through items, mats, etc? Or is it a case of the more you make that item the more skillful you are at it?
umm
you craft sstuff with orange arrows
you get skill points
repeat until max
or you mean specializations?
mats, skill, specialization, recrafting bonus
Good morning Morgan
How was your vault, Ghash?
@ionic fern hi ily
Not terrible. I got a hunger of the pack on my rogue and a big wrists upgrade on my warrior
with a socket
that's mine
why ghash doesnt wish me a good day 
Good morning Calcuchimac
good morning
potion there costs 5 gold where its 20 to 25 on my old dead server
So making a ton of an item won't increase my chance of 3 starring it or 5 starring it or whatever right?
Nope, it's "skill" 1-100 you can learn then +skill from specializations.
also +skill on prof equipment
then +skill for better ingredients
simple
how does crafting gear work again? like i can only wear two at a time?
you can recraft it up to a bonus of like +50
As many as you want, only 2 can be embellished tagged though
i might just buy like 2 or 3 wow tokens and then buy a bunch of materials and then make whatever i want
can't be that difficult to get the recipes
how can you tell if its embellished again?
cause im using the lariat and the shield of the hearth
It will say itâs embellished, those are the bonus flavour texts
ngl i dont enjoy tyran lol

Friendly reminder that food embellishment doesn't count as an embellishment
đ¤˘
Strike Twice is funky, I guess
Full SBG: 1 proc
Full HoV: 97 procs
Might have just bugged before or something
Hi!, can I ask for an opinion? Between tier chest vs waist w/ socket, which one will you choose?
The chest can be upgraded because it's m+
in m+, what does more dam : ItF + bolster or HR ?
whispering incarnate vs. blazebinders? comparable ilvl. the content im most focused on is m+, and just not sure if one is a clear winner for folks.
WII is rarer at least
true. is it only going to be more valuable if others have it though? in 5 man content
Is anything here worth look at vs the tier piece?
wat exaclty do we spell block in rlp?
Idk the usefulness of that trinket
GASH cute pic :>
and thx for that reminder :>
bro theres been a warrior fighting a guy for 2 days on my server
cuz lariat prices lmao
sit back đż
yeah its really fun
how does b stance vs d stance work? b stance in cds cause u have so much survivability anyway. outside of cds is it like
do i feel safe
send me some screenshots in DM đ ?
its a warrior i wonder if its in this discord
yes b stance no d stance
Depends a lot on the content you're doing
u wont use d stance unless some specific mechanic or dificulty
I did a 16 azure vault yesterday and took one arcane cleave in battle stance and dropped like a rock
is disrupting shout really as bad as wowhead implies? i feel like ive encounted a few situations that it might help turn around a potential wipe
Or it's a shaman/disc priest
i dont pick priests into my groups
Heh
disrupting shout can be catasrophic failure
cuz it will rarely send mobs to the moon
there's someone on my server doing em for 4k
aggro som other pack or 4
does chatgpt know something we don't? đ
get enough mastery and you don't need shield block 5head
i gotta look at boss guides for raid
Big damage loss manysad
think the other guy wasn't taunting though, i had 12 stacks of something
im trying to decide between that or intimidating shout for the moments when my pubbies butt pull an extra caster mob
maybe even both idk
first boss
so where do i transfer?
Stormrage. I'll even throw in a free allied wristguards of companionship đ
pretty sure i had dbm or bigwigs on and it wasn't calling out to me to taunt
man i should leave deadonar
If Raidbots tells me Crit/Mast is better than Crit/Haste its because its siming the gear for dps not for tank right? (Playing Prot)
Just unsure what to choose atm
Im to low IQ to answer haha
It's a trap
Just stay haste
thats why i take into the fray because me taking damage is the healers problem
Yeah, haste is where its at
guys idk what to do with my vault and what to craft this week lmao i play prot and fury xd
just get more haste
If you take damage as prot you is a you problem
Crystal Fury's u
it was a joke lol
There are two things in M+ that scare me.
Out of these two which one would i go for
Crystal Fury and Void Slash.
Characters without interrupts, and slutmog mechagnomes?
crystal fury are pretty easy to deal with
storm bolt + shield charge + shocwave
Does anybody have a list of BIS trinkets? The guides on wowhead/icy-veins are way out of date
imo the worst add is minion of doubt
for my 2nd spark item should i just make a sword and put like phys dmg on it?
Chest gives the most stats overall
hm.. would tier piece > all even if it's of a lower item level? for vault
it's because it's an interrupt and not a silence
I'm sure like everybody I was very excited for the first vault of the season because it's the one vault you can almost guarantee you're going to get an upgrade from, well nope
yeah but there's an issue there
that's 3 interrupts when dps are apes and hit the wrong things and don't int
oops, meant that in reply to @hardy fractal
I have the elemental lariat already and my first two choices were both next, and my third choice was a shield, and my shield was blacksmith crafted already at 402 item level
I got tokens out of the first vault of the season
you still have your interrupt
how many vaults did you have?
3 it seems
i have 7, but only because pvp makes me angy
Friends I would love your help: 398 Tier helm vs 408 Drake Hunters Greaves. If I take tier helm guild will make me prio for 2peice during raid. (Im mainly an mplus player)
There is also a 402 Rumbling Ruby but my trinkets are already very good
hmm
Got it đ
Is seal of filial duty any good for pwars or no?
1 piece is 0 pieces, so that's a tough one
this is from my vualt and trying to decide what I should def get but it seems that weapon is my best bet to go to for upgrading
Any idea how I get my friends list to work again?
Close Bnet
Assuming you get a 2nd piece, I don't know how good tier is but I'd still go for Ilvl
You could raid, say you have a tier piece in your vault & if you dont get another, take anything else. That would be my approach
whats bis trinks for m+?
Thanks đ
emergency interupt at best, only works on up to some elites
Best weapon enchant as prot?
the one you can afford đ
no i mean frozen or sophic
if you recraft an item with gems do you lose the gems or does it keep them?
true, longer u wait the more cheaper it will become and more widely known what to use
everything stays
Sophic, stats are always better than dmg procs for a tank. They give you offensive and defensive boost.
makes sense
could you guys help me choose from the vault? i know the chest has more ilvl, but the shoulder has vers/haste and maybe i could upgrade it? not sure if it is worth it
chest
is there a way to sim the vault items?
look at that crit
is that from m+?
more stats on chest so chest
yes
oh cool
So m+ Tier is generally better than raid tier bcs higher ilvl?
Maybe my m+ grind wasnât useless 
i'll probably go with the chest, thanks guys
i'll try to grab haste somewhere else
i mean
getting mid mythic raid gear form a +20
its easier than clearing mythic raid
cuz its easier for 5 people to coordinate than 25 people
thats true
did anyone craft idol of the dreamer?
thoughts on burgeoning seed?
I thought Mythic was 20 peeps?
it is, probably a typo
kk, i'm a filthy casual so wasn't sure.
what would you take?
if you dont raid hc yea
trinket shouldnt take too long to get since its from an early boss
knock on wood
Iâm still gearing out my toon and donât have very high trinkets but this dropped for me today. Should I be wearing it ?
2ppm
50% uptime basically
it's 2 rppm which is very high
looks super solid 
is it world boss trinket?
yes
very cool thanks blizzad
Hello guys, you probably dont get these types of question often , but how do you deal with toxicity while youre doing mythic + ? I started playing pve this season and first time tanking ,achieved 1300 rating now, but i always get toxicity from others from faults i didnt even do or other did.
I just wanted to know how you're handling this, i'm even thinking of quitting tanking
i blacklist them and just keep playing
if theyre especially toxic, i leave.
I didnât see it on the tier list at all so I had no idea if it was good or not
I generally try and provide details on what actually happened, and if they double down on douchery I just ignore and move on. If it's mid key I just leave.
M+ only player but I am guessing that tier is trumping all
Absolutely zero personal cost to just ditching a group that's being a manged monkeys ass
thank you guys for the tips, i'll just start ignoring players then
i started even being afraid of doing keys, and sometimes i'm even questionning myself if im doing things wrong
This week is mostly a healer check
So dont be surprised if a 11 feels harder than the 13 you just did
Cape is a haste/vers cape. any thoughts to take that? Or we prioritise our tier first?
tier first
I feel like most tanks play multiple tanks so Iâll just ask this here:
What Tank do you think gives you the most visceral feeling? Like where you feel your abilities when you use them. If that makes sense. Like VDH to me, especially with Soul Bomb, I donât really feel like my abilities are having an impact when I use them. Does that make any sense? Lol
Thunderclap, best visual/sound ability of all tanks, not so hot in the dmg department
I mean, Warrior's are heavy metal incarnate?
You're bitch slapping mobs with a metal plate the size of a Suburban door, while stomping and causing explosive shockwaves and calling down thunder with the power of your voice
Voice? I thought my butt cheeks clenched so hard that...you know, nevermind, its the power of your voice
man i stomp so hard thunder comes
Warrior 100%, main reason I haven't bothered with other tanks

Right
Paladins are windchimes with christmas lights.
Deathknights are like the emo rock from the early 00s, they want to be metal, but endup just seeming sad most of the time and making a mess.
Demon Hunters like to put glows on their mom's honda civic, while singing along to nickleback.
Monks are Kpop, you know you shouldn't enjoy it, but it's a guilty pleasure.
Bears, bear's are our angry kin, it's that tribal drum music you can really dig, it's metal but different.
would the panda 100% food buff stack with the 100% food buff embellishment?
true
No tier but should I take the weapon since its upgradable to 415 if maxed out later.
if you're going to upgrade a m+ wep with valor you want the one from nokhud
Strike Twice?
yea
It ..... hardly strikes twice... Ever
that shield looks nice
but yeah go for weap
strike twice sucks
is not even a 2nd hit
is a dmg proc
its a wep with a proc that doesnt cut into the stat budget
how does it suck lmao
What do u think about trinket from roby with haste?
What are the stats on strike twice
doesnt matter what the proc is as long as its free extra damage
crit mastery
crit mastery
Anyone have tank weakauras that help for any dungeons?
So the rarely pricing extra dmg is better than haste?
thats what they say
I mean, whatever the sim says I guess
you can get enough haste elsewhere
Shield charge with crit OoO
Thereâs never enough!
especially with the super haste weighted rings
shield slam bonk noise >
oce you get that 40% haste you can think of getting other stuff
Even if you can, mastery is the worst stat for us
Why does my ruby life trinket the shell thing sim so bad but guide says it's a pretty A tier trinket?
Do I do something wrong in sim?
Also do you have to do the on use every day or just a once do and forget thing? đ¤
I did try that wep and the proc rate for that is really terrible lol
same
its 1% of damage wise per run
that's not bad though?
1% is really bad
lmao
wep and trinkets to be generally good it should be 5% at least
got hc all-totem LETSGOOO
the only thing you're giving up is some haste for mastery

gl on vault brothers
guys i'm seeking advice, regarding trinkets. i just got gift of radiance, currently rocking whelp shell and a 379 ritual shell as stone turtle, simms tell me to ditch the ruby shell but BiS-list rates it as one of the highest ones, what should i do?
Wowee tyran sha still feels like dogpiss
thats an error on the guides tbh
ruby shell is too unpredictable to be considered good
For m+ Ive been running the 385 turtle shell with stone
Its a considerable amount of absorbs but I've yet to find a decent second trinket I like, using the vers horn but it feels eh
Horn of Valor? A 398 horn is all that's good that was in teh vault for me
I have a 402 horn but for lower keys I swap it out for dps trinkets
Kinda torn between horn and blazebinders hoof
you mean the threatmeter?
havent had that installed since idc cata
Binder is probably better, tbh.
More overall STR and a damage proc.
Only downside is 10 less seconds on duration
Pretty sure the effective strength on hoof is still better
Yeah I've been flipping back and forth
hoof sims better
and if you time it well
its nutty
just the dmg effect does ~1% in keys
not even counting the extra str it provides
nom youve still been using whetstone?
anyone have any smart way of handling frontals? feel like theres a lot of the frontals in this current M+ pool that are quite hard to see when in shallow water like Temple or Nokhud dung
mmm ok
I guess I should take the horn. That or a 389 pair of M+ boots. I've just got so may trinkets I don't know what to run it with. 379 Lifeflame ampule isn't great but it has +197 avoidance on it. That and a 379 scale
I note them then make a weakaura that says when they're going off
court kinda ruff this week but guess i farm
COS whetstone?
yes
Yeah that thing's cleave is batshit.
ST*
ye i have a WA as well, but i feel sometimes i dont get far enough out of them
i thought it was giga nerfed for aoe?
It was stupid even back in SL
its better on ST than on aoe S.
hoof or whetstone if u had to choose nome
Really
i guess i should just sidestep, and then back to original position đ¤
It did a fuckload in overalls for Thwump
Strafe don't go back
it does 300k in ST or 300k on aoe targets total
its a 1-1 split
it doesnt do more dmg with more targets
Fastest way out of a cleave is through the thing cleaving you
i do, but some are wider than others i guess đ¤ˇââď¸
but i guess theres no way of having a WA that tells me when im out of a Frontal? đ¤
No, at some point we have to play the game for ourselves I'm afraid
feels like no one knows to stun frontals in this season either đ¤ˇââď¸
Though tell me when might do some of that for you
how good would +197 avoidance be on a trinket nowadays?
We got four stuns, we are the stunmasters
avoidance is usually w/e on tanks
Tips on surviving tree boss in AA at higher key levels? Is there a way to avoid the damage taken debuff, or are we just kiting the adds frantically and rolling CDs?
cuz all mechanics that scale with avoidance are more dangerous to dps than to tanks
have more dps
cleanse the debuff with the ancient branch dying, dont heal the adds with it
Serious question, for Tyr weeks what mods if any would you suggest for M+ build
so out of 379 scale, lifeflame w/ avoidance, 376 Decoration, and 398 horn, I guess horn and decoration?
Have dps hold burst for burst forth, pop burst and delete adds. Then there are no adds to contend with
the entire boss is just figuring out how to kill adds quickly
If you try to kill the lasher's via attrition you're gonna die
Especially grievous week
any specific Graphics Settings that are important to have on high in Dungeons? đ¤ for frontals etc
keep in mind only every second wave of him summoning ads is dangerous
It's called "burst forth"
will try putting Particle Density quality up, and hopefully that will help a bit for frontal visibility đ
Guys hello
Mmmmm Grevious + stacking Poison, *drops academy key in the trash
Can i have The Best Talent For M+ for Protection War?

Not sure about high or not but projected textures need to be on. Particle density is one that can possibly help but textures are the big one because some mechanics can't be seen at all without it.
fueled by violence or BV?
Hello, guys. I've been struggling lately with my tanking. Could someone please take a look at my logs and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you
sure send the log
cant honestly say, but the higher you go the better BrV becomes, despite the bug imo
What's CPM?
Mostly because of rage, I think
nah youre not pressing buttons m8
left is me
right is you
im pressing almost twice as many buttons per minute as you are
you should seriously look into your button layout and actively check what youre pressing
same fight btw
fangs or spikes?
sadge
but not amazing of a trinket either
haste mastery neck it is
Hmm, ok. So is it just an issue with actions/minute? or?
youre also not pressing SB
often enough
you only have 51% blocked hits
when it should be closer to 100%
why are you playing barbaric training in raid
no wonder you dont have rage
that talent literally ruins your rotation and rage usage
you should also stop playing juggernaut and massacre
and instead play enduring defenses and punish
no wonder you dont block anything
https://gyazo.com/242b4f882500dc30b20e1c19f25be44d wht about now lol
keep hoof and shell
wow i actually got no upgrades then
m+ trinkets can be farmed
lose to much haste with other rewards
what are the options
If it's higher ilevel, take it
ilvl > haste on armor
You don't just ignore an upgrade because you lose haste
Nome do you do barb training for council
https://gyazo.com/9666aa32467ca0f27bfcd23a793f844c was next best
Perm 4
any armor piece in vault?
hmmm barbaric could be good there ye
take the cloak
what a shitty vault my guy
đ
idk if you want trinket pick trinket
My vault was sick. I got a 372 bracer or something, but I was still using 304
your healing breakdown is also hard troll
this is what it should look like
this is yours
oh dear
so yeah to sum it up
a) stop playing barbaric training
b) focus more on your shield slam and thunderclap usage
c) dump rage into ignore pain to prevent overcapping! revenge otherwise
d) use offensive cooldowns on cooldown
e) play impenetrable wall instead of defenders aegis, you dont need shield wall THAT often back to back, its more rage gen
Well now I know. Thanks!
whats defensive instance does ? I think I have bad translation on my tooltip
glad to see people learning
its saying more 15% dmg and less 10% damage taken
Reduces damage taken by 15% and damage done by 10%
^
I play with barbaric and Iâm still way higher on healing which also reminds me, how do I fix my logs? Itâs not letting me upload logs
Do you have advanced combat logging enabled?
barbaric training fucks you up in ST, i cant recommend playing it
but TECHNICALLY its more dmg
but plays like shit
its also NOT ALOT more dmg on ST
It's baaaad math requires thought
yup
it's REALLY bad math
is it me who fucked up, or no kicks? like i dont rly understand the packs there
ye stormbolt kick or reflect
afaik the mobs are ccable
arcing used to be reflectable on beta i think đŚ
now its just a magic nuke
that takes out your teeth fillings
very cringe
but why do i get hit 2x 130k?
isnt it only one Arcing blade mob in the waterfall pack?
no, there's two
speaking of, anyone know how to reduce the size of these pull numbers
isnt that a different spot?
lol
