no i dont
didnt really need to see it
😂
whenever some idiot gets uppity about an answer he doesnt want, its always the same
now we're name calling, thats mature
im not an adult
so
sue me
or at least thats what you claimed
make up your mind
Hmm maybe, but that seems like a poor way to go about it unless they have a disclaimer or something saying that the trinket's value is with the ring.
re-read then come back to me
no thanks felicia, now figure your shit out
Greek, if we're such a shitty discord, can you go away? You're just being an asshole now.
Yeah but that trinket is good even without the ring
Like stupid good
lol
God help any group I tank for if I ever get that
I'm aiming every frontal at them
I NEED MY CDR
So since i am only doing m+ and not really raiding at all.. i have crafted my lariat, what would the second best choice be? I am already sitting at a 392 weapon and shield, would it really be worth to craft that or would something like a "Wrist" slot that is still 385 be worth it?
dont wanna waste my spark on nothing
currently hovering 14-16
so you have no issues getting infusions
You can probably just craft stuff to fill your low spots at that point
or concentrated ones for that matter
i found the buff its roughly 25% so its not bad
yeh i have no porblems getting infusions at all no
i guess a low ilvl thing would be a good place to replace then
😄 thanks for the answer
remember
crafted gear with concentrated can get high as hell
if you dont plan to hit 20s... it might be a better options for some crucial slots
what do u mean with concentraterd?
you should be getting pieces of those in 16s
oh yeh
after every 16+ run
yeah it's called concentrated primal focus
exactly why i am splitted if i should do weapon or wrists since wrist is my very lowest ilvl
i dont have enough concentrated yet
but i have plenty normal ones
so if you can get a 418 shield, and never hit the key level for 418s shields... that's a valid option
you should
its a guaranteed drop
from 16 and up
si
i havent crafted lariat yet cause im 100% sure gonna get fucked on weapon RNG
it happens every season
im so sad i didnt get crafted weapon :/
cough
so im >< this close on crafting a weapon
ghash you should have seen my vault this week
i rerolled away to prot warrior like 4 days ago (was dps) and the luck i had to aquire gear on this character is insane xd
yeah
idk why i expected something different
But you need 2400 to upgrade to 415
yup and that's still lower than concentrated infused crafted stuff
provided you got a giga chad that can t5 with it
guess ima go make the shield then if someone can craft it :x tradechat gamer
but that will come with time anyway
i swear to god, im pretty sure you cant cross server work order
i know matta said you could but
ive tried different things and cant
i can make it on Sunstrider-EU, bit of a longshot 😄
always the max orders for the week message
even though its a personal order, which doesnt have caps
unlucky! i am on twisting nether 😄
but i apreciate it!
is Disrupting Shout's cast prevention classed as a silence?
i believe so
what do you mean by classed as a silence
im guessing he means not being able to cast while its on
^
It is not a silence. It's an interrupt.
If it hits an enemy that is not casting, it does nothing.
actually yes
well,e xcept the aggro ofc
mdt has Crystal Furys in Azure Vault marked as being silence-able, and was wondering if I could use Disrupting to stop Piercing Shards
school not being able to be casted is just standard for kicks
Piercing Shards needs to be stopped by a stun/knock/etc. It's not interruptible
gotcha, thanks!
If you ever did nelth's lair back in the day, it's similar to the piercing shards those hulks did
I was trying to do a route with the triple in the first room
can probably do it
just gotta be smart with desyncing
its risky though
handling 3 of those with melee is always a hoot
one wrong step and dead melee
or thundering for that matter
xD
Hey guys, i'm currently 385 ilvl and tried to do Jade in +15 and +14. Most of the time in every dungeon atm i don't have any problem but here, i struggle a lot on the second boss. Every time, the stacks are killing me so fast i can't handle it. How do you manage this boss ?
I did it with no problem with my BDK but on my war it seems to be almost unplayable. Even on Cds
healers don't seem to survive long in the pugs i run
seems to be recurring problem
didn't even have grevious
On prot warrior you spell reflect on cooldown to spit some of the agonies back
dump rage on ignore pain like nobodies business and i also make sure to run immovable object ( bottom left in tree) so when i avatar i get shield wall
So it’s not just not knowing some hidden mech
cuz its almost exclusively magic damage
unless you have CDs up, pwar is kinda naked vs that boss
Even on fortified that boss shit out so much dmg
try Spell Block too?
yeah i also use spell block, assume thats a given there
gotta use SR on cd for the DR if possible
for the many fucky adds
and 2nd + 3rd boss
spell block + defenders aegis is very strong in that dungeon and gets alot of milage
i guess immovable object also good
for ultra megazoid turtle
feels bad giving up the damage but i run it in all my 15 or higher keys right now, helps a lot with staying alive
a dead tank cant dps
unstoppable force isnt even that much more damage

your rage usage just shifts a bit more towards revenge
but other than that, its almost equal dmg output
does anyone have tools or an addon for the routes on all dragonflight dungeons?
I have MDT for the mythis
Mdt is the standard for routing ya. Everyone that shares routes is gonna do it through an Mdt export
ty for your answers guys ! I'll try it again tomorrow
rumbling wave only doing a little bit more dmg than my Hoof 🤔 and hoof gives huge Str even
hey guys very noob question but how does simming work for prot warrior vs a dps class. are we just simming for damage output? with the new talents im a little lost on simming in general haha ( last time i ran sim was my bm hunter during nyalothia since then i havent had much need)
yes
sim is only dps, you cant sim "tankiness"
it should say so at the top
or at least it used to say it on raidbots, idk i havent opened the thing since i still get ilvl upgrades
Anyone else get absolutely shredded on the tree boss in AA? Twice now in two different +8s with a druid healer.. dps die at like 30% and I die at like 20%.
gotta cycle group cds for aoe
dps have to stand in circle to clear dot
and cleanse poison with treant green circle
Anyone know if it's possible to block the 2nd boss in temple (peril and strife) without spell block?
thats what i thought. so basically sim for high offensive but dont be an idiot and give up good defensives because something sims higher on dps (trinkets and talents)
with the Tree Boss in AA - dont use CD's for first adds, use CD;s for the second spawn of little adds - the Branch - kick his heal and get everyone in the greenish circle left behind to cleanse (when he dies)
in general
you can spell Reflect the Agony, so just pop it on CD
you dont want defensive trinkets... again, in general
ty was just told to shield block by a healer just making sure i wasn't stupid 😛
the dmg was cracked on 19 so i was just spamming IP for healer
its Loremaster Stonestep no?
yes
What kind of spell block % buff uptime is considered good in m+?
theres no such thing
hmm ye seems like they dont do melee 🤔
spell block has a big cd
yea that's what i figured
how good is primal ritual shell
i ment shield block! soz
if anything spell block uptime will depend on if you're actually spell blocking spells
oh then near to 100% but it depends on your downtime
hard to say what is "good" uptime, but something like 70-80+
something better to look at is % attacks blocked, through logs
So the LFR raid kind of sucks.
100% if youre chain pulling
You can't roll on things for mog if you already have it.
Ah, good tip. Were note at the constant chain pulling yet here
i was at 88% in my dungeon just now, even though i feel i have 100%
Ill have a look at the % attacks blocked vs what goes through without blocking too
yes you can see that in logs
just check every blockable attack, if you have questions refer to the blockable list in the pins by Master Sense 
So since coming from dps to tank.
Does it still count with valor upgrades to just start with jewelery first and trinkets and then anything else?
tyty, will have a look 🙂
cause i would get more for less
depends on what ilvl your shield/wep is
im going for something like shield/wep/trinkets for valor
that's weird valor usage
i would have guessed they went weapons first
since you know, weapon is the highest dps upgrade
for every melee period
and jewelry first means youre also pumping the item slots with less stats
which is not good at all for prot
craftnig shield soon tho
🤔 do I make a 405 lariat or a 405 sword with fang next week
decisions decisions
not sword because Strike Back or whatever 🤔
Anyone have any mythic tank POV videos for the first couple bosses they could recommend?
What would be a good choice of the embellishments? I hear the neck is good but I'm not sure what 2nd
did you go through the pins?
any tips how could i help my healer on 2nd boss on jade?, on 17 he was doing 90k hps and 30% of that into me
If im using the ritual shell what blessing do you all recommend for mythic raid?
we talked about this further up
spell block for temple is kinda useful
does it work tho
guess you can also go double wall
instead of that I guess?
huh?
how else do u run double wall
I pref the cheat death rather then IW


what talent build are you running?
Does spell block work for magical dmg DoT's?
no
I'd rather give up thunderlord
if you run BSV, do it instead of Thunderlord, not instead of IW
Than impenetrable wall
thunderlord is so mid
damn this nome came in here faaaaast
Seems kinda troll to give up 1min SW
acutally true
thunderlords decree could knock literally half the CD off demo shout
Primal Council LFR is the same as normal 🤢
this thing is a pretty tragic imitation
in theory u could use it 2 times in between cds
but in reality u use it once anyway
dont sacrifice 1m SW D:
u can have 1min SW or double SW
i also treat it badly until it saved me a coumple of times
someone good at math? what are the odds off rolling ruby 4 times in a row? 😦
hey all...in AOE does SS take prio over TC? Feel like I have a pretty good feel for the spec but SS dmg/casts are lacking a bit
I guess upgrading my weapon to 405 instead of my trinket would be the better all when i craft a 405 shield too
well use according to what uneed
can do dmg use TC
just make sure u maintain brace for impact
yea i dont think i'm in jeopardy of letting brace drop...just seems like looking at damage breakdowns SS comes out on top quite often. Guides seem to have TC as prio over SS in aoe just wanted to make sure
HUH what is taht
for the boss, im on egg duty
what enchant is best for bracers?
dont really know where adds spawn by heart so lol
theres a route on wowhead guide
oh is there? ty
i see m raider prot wars use devotion of avoidance but isnt tht just for aoe dmg? leech might be better in M+ right
dorki routes are nice
world boss trinket any good? 🤔
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/867Phr9bUcekWoLSQcUaxu
lol +0.1 % dps 🤣
Eh I mean, that makes it a pretty decent trinket if it's simming a bit better than slightly lower of two really good trinkets
fuck you, i use it
i guess my trinkets are quite good for 389 tho
any ideas what could I drop to get side arm and the increased max rage? except pain and gain
honed reflexes for sidearm
the max rage will sacrifice some CC or something
hmm honed reflexes is acutally kinda nice
cause in st sometimes I dont get reset of ss
and jsut wait 7sec
or you have good RNG
what stats dowe want on our lariat? haste vers?
and i do not
😦
haste/vers/crit, any combination of those
TC & Revenge can reset ur SS, so sounds like maybe your using a lot of IP
but idk honestly, i get a ton of SS resets
ye I guess lower cd on the IW could help it
but im also running Battering Ram
right honed isnt really needed with resets
its okay
but not mandatory by any means
well neither is Sidearm, so i guess thats just a choice to make 🤷♂️
yeah idk i prefer sidearm, and just swap sidearm with other stuff when i need it like wrecking throw for RLP and shit like that
never rly change my talents for M+ yet
might come with higher keys but idk
feels quite consistent
also are dummies in valdrakkan somehow bad for testing our dmg?
casue im simming for 20k on st
im doing 20k on st in dungs
im doing 12k on dummies...
depends what dummy, if you're hitting the raid one, it's 3 lvls higher and you'll do less dmg.
At least thats how it used to be, not sure if its still true tbh
Could also just be buffs, bloodlust for example
the ones in here
there are 2 dmg dummies, one for Raid one for non raid
if you hover over the dummy, it will say "raiding" or "dungeon"
but then again, sim should be based on raid bosses, so idk 🤷♂️
well in theory wrekcing should do a shitload of dmg to 1st boss in RLP
in theory, i have logs but i havent looked yet cause im swamped with work
i swap to ber rage on nokhud also for twins
Should you be doing as much damage as DPS in raid/mythic+? I just focused on living lol
its just shitty min maxing really
oh that wasnt answering you floridaman
yes you should be focusing on dps
No
also how are you only simming 20k 🤔 im simming 29k with 391 ilvl, didnt you say you were doing +19s?
and only start focusing in defensives when you've hit a wall
and let me clarify, only when you've hit a wall you can't fix by improving your gameplay
no Im doing 16s
ah ok, must have misread then
Are you guys running the wowhead talent build for M+? or any other one?
ah ur simming with no buffs?

i sim 23,3k with just BS
Panda tank master race
🐼
hoof is nice
i like getting better at using it
no CDs line up on Prot anyway
i just chug it on CD
macro it to avatar and forget about it?

I'm still using forgestorm from heroic according to sims it's still the best
what's the point in simming with no buffs if you're gonna have buffs in all situations that matter
they arent wrong
u dont have all buffs in M+
sure but you have more than battle shout
but i think he was simming it to compare to his target dummy dmg
the classic five warrior no consumables run
Bandage only run
if someone uses bloodlust, i click that shit off IMMEDIATELY
Check out Mr money bags over here using food
i dont think it matters anyway
i got it macroed to /cancelaura Bloodlust in my shield slam
you're comparing to yourself
if youre comparing to someone else then yes make sure you have the same buffs
rn the issue is on healer anyway 
gotta save money on that food, and get full usage of that Pandaren Racial ❤️
thats jiga
Lol that's some king shit right there
how do u get that even
is ruby whelp shell any good for prot?
some engi thing?
havent had a single dungeon without 100% uptime of Well Fed 👑
I had to use armor spikes on my shield just to get that classic shield spike feeling
An item in the Optional Reagents category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date with the latest patch (10.0.2).
alchemy
and the best thing is, it doesnt count as embellish
i can still make an Armor Spikes belt or some shit 😄
Im jealous of your ilvl, mine is only 389:(
391.9
on the shield*
Say sike right now
getting declined for +13
ye ilvl is irrelevant
I barely bother trying anymore, i just suck it up and do my endless ruby keys 😄
only io matters
i have 1675 r.io 😄
rn
ouff
then its kinda meh
Anyone know if the Ruby Whelp Shell trinket from Ruby Life Shores is any good for prot?
was like 1400 last week
thats around 13s
best buff for primal ritual shell in M+?
fire
if you dont wanna go full dmg, i think Earth gives stats which gives both dmg+def
also sim assumes u are in battle stance
oh wait no the Earth is full shield
BStance is ~14% dmg gain
for nokud, do most people just clear third area for %?
yes
wat % do you need if u skip to last boss+2 adds
94.5%
ok roughly matches wat i have thanks
yeah ive noticed % variance
did they nerf loot drops from m+ going into DF?
It's just straight up wrong and it won't be fixed until RWF is over
Because Nnoggie is it's dev
Currently deciding if I wanna pick up prot warrior. Do they have an easy way to group up packs? Dks got grip, abomb limb. Pally got captain america shields
I use titanic throw, its basically like captain america shield. Ranged throw ability that hits 5 targets and you dont really sacrifice much for it.
So i just titanic and LOS. or titanic, charge, clap and spam.
NO
all of it
i use neither of those and have 0 problems
even after having trash ass rng and no weapon drops
I see a lot of people running decorative flame. Is this going to be bis for m plus ?
what about reputation wrist or boots
i still need either of those, plenty of rings going around
How do I
Convince my cotank
For years
To stop gemming stam, stop holding RP until you take damage, its okay to deathstrike to clear part of your RP bar u dumb f
Multiple whipes cuz the man refuses to play the game the right way
tell him that and if your relationship isnt healthy then shop up?
or find his medium of taking criticism, such as through officer or whatever
can someone explain why this item is good or bad? all the guides say its good
its a dk
its meh
why have you subjected yourself to this for years?
Who is your raid leader
i have a friend who is a dk and he is the same way in different regards
Why is he letting this happen
I hope you're raiding normal if you got a tank gemming stam
❓
Prot friends.. Plz help me decide between a 408 Storm Eater and 408 tier helm that will yield 2 set.. i cant decide 😮
Had a guy in my key we depleted the +15key cuz we wiped on last boss on 10%, He insta leaves, literally wasted half an hour on a key and just fucked 4 people over lmao.
People are funny
dk i know wants only mastery stat, cuz after he takes dmg he deathstrike to heal him self back up, heals more than healers
says bdk dmg is dog shit
Thanks
Lariat bis to use sparks on? Or should I craft a weapon
any guides for what i should use my spark and primal infusion on?
triple neck vs weapon i guess
Stupid question. Valor cap was 1500 last week and went up to 2250 this week. If you earned 1500 last week, can you spend all 1500 and earn 2250 this week or can you only earn the new 750 increase.
only the new 750
do i do anything special vs this frontal on Azureblade (Azure Vault) ? its hitting like a fucking truck on +14
I usually just tank but maybe you can outrange it with leap
What resources do y’all use for determine best trinkets for survival or dps
for m+ this week i use double aborb trnks. preventing grievous imo is super helpful
Sims and the oooold noggin
how much DPS should I be aiming for as Prot?
whats the play for 2nd and 3rd boss tjs
what are the current best classes to bring with pwarr? Heals and dps?
no. it just hits hard
its hot dogshit
that shit rarely procs
spell block
spell block is for casuals just ignore the pain
idk fam it starts chunking hard
the boss does live longer than 20 seconds though 😄
but man feeling like double wall is nice in some of these Tyrannical dungeons
some of the tank busters are insane
its another stop
for 2 cleaves
i can reflect every 2nd
so it only rly helps for one 🤷♂️
but maybe double wall + shield block will make me fill out enough gaps
oh ye tru 🤦 i did only SR
externals are also a thing too
but generally u should be fine if you rotate stuff gud and the boss dies before 3rd intermission
is it best to level as prot if im learning how to play prot/warrior or is it still better to level as arms/fury?
Anyone having any luck charging / leaping at 4 stacks on H Dathea?
I feel like no matter how quick I hit it, it's too late lol
no bc i dont tank raid 
might be connection
6+ is when it starts to get iffy
Honestly turbo fingering ur charge before
I'm so triggered, depleted a rlp 3 times in a row
cause dps can't figure mechanics on bosses
Frozen Devotion or Wafting Devotion?
frozen does not give you any defense
Folks got used to face rolling and got lazy
Frozen if you wanna chad, anything else if you got a membership card to this place
Does the 4p just feed into ignore pain or does it actually generate one?
Ya that’s kinda nuts actually
It has obviously strong synergy with BrV
So it resets the buff duration then?
It's basically a high uptime 4% damage buff. Free damage is free damage
3 melee on 2nd boss is game changing
no stupid range who refuses to stack
No doubt
so meteors and adds are actually baited into good positions
I got to 5 just fine and number 6 killed me outright.
Sounds like ping
I was doing like 7-8
Mostly because pug tanks are absolute garbage.
Any tips for surviving Liu Flamehearts strike?
the jade?
yea
Spell Block does nothing though right
what gem should i use for lariat
think its a flat amount
the ruby whelp shell stat proc is prio without targeting anything and using the trink right?
how long do we want to hold onto the Assembly Guardian's Ring, if at all?
is ruby shell good?
@neon kiln cobalt rings are very very good, so "if at all" is 100% out the window 
fair enough! thank you
those are better
You can use any Air gem to get it to proc Haste; this includes the pure Haste Ysemerald and all of the gems which have Haste as the lesser of two secondaries.
ty
Note that you get more overall stats from the dual-stat gems than from the pure single stat ones
should i use the haste/vers one?
Only you can decide the answer to that question
lol ty
Some of the ground effects in CoS can be really hard to see, but 60 is a bit OTT
haste/crit if you're a gamer 
People standing too close to the adds/boss maybe?
I know he does a lot of damage anyway but it's a lot more if you're in melee range of any of the adds or the boss
Yo Guys, im wearing the lariat and crafted shield. Im thinking about adding the alchemist embellishment on shield since it doesnt add unique and craft belt next week. Am i misunderstanding something or should this Work?
it works as you think
FREE
I like
Guys is it normal that horn sims so low ?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ipajrrXhyyhkhp44KNhtrX
How do I see battle scarred veteran CD?
Alchemist embellishment?
I am the offset king 
compared to Trample trinket
Food through death and double duration
Idk if its from Alchemist, name of it just suggests it 😂
oh gotcha
What do you mean by normal? Horn isn't that great of a trinket while trample is one of our stronger ones
I mean it's not a terrible trinket but it's not something that I'd expect to outperform quite a few other trinkets is all
Just like whetstone was historically not a great trinket and is now one of the best for a number of specs
wait whetstone wasnt great back in legion (not talking prot)? I missed something i guess
I don't recall it being that great in Legion. At least it wasn't a trinket that was often mentioned. That being said we also had trinkets like draught of souls back then
That boss would be a 100 times better if there was a few more seconds between his charge and casting the AoE channel. He only gets 5-10 yards away from the last clone before he casts it, which just forces melee to afk on other side of platform or die
You dont' have to be very far from them to not get the extra damage. like outlaw rogues or feral druids can still attack and not get the increased damage
It's not falloff damage like a traditional falloff mechanic. It's just x damage at >5 yards and x+y damage at <=5 yards
I was sure you had to be further away
Nah it was a very common misconception in Legion that has somewhat leaked through the ages (especially since it was also a timewalking M+ dungeon)
Yeah legion has been a while and I was on holiday the last time we had timewalking
But yeah as long as you're out of traditional melee range (of both him and the adds), you're taking as little as you can
The haste grows.
Healer kept getting hit by the ground dash shit he does that one shots on tyrannical
Wasnt even worth trying to stay for completion lol
Sad times
How do you even fuckin get hit by that man, it's the most obvious mechanic
41% in m+
Tyrannical this week feels brutal
I knew that boss was gonna be nasty; it was spicy enough last week that I could tell
Needing double shield wall for third boss in TOJS just to survive
😠
Blizz making us use our CDs
for shame
don't they know we're prot warriors like wtf
we don't use that shit
Blizz making me leave battle stance
😂

That's the real crime
What are you guys doing against second boss in TJS? im spamming SS and TC for IP and rotating defCDs and nothing else, still died on 17
suffering is what im doing on that boss
Is it normal that the tree-boss in academy is chaos? Feels like my dps didnt manage to get one round of lashers killed before the next one spawned
Is it a dps issue?
Trick is to pop cds first set of adds, lust on 2nd set, May still have a little bit of lust left for 3rd set of ads and cds should be back up. If you get a 4th that may be chaos
That’s what worked for me and I did a 14 on tyrannical
Timed it too, the rest of the dungeon is smooth and the last boss is sooo easy
Hm, ok. And when do you kill the big-add? right away?
I don’t even think the big add does anything but try to cast a heal?
We had like 6 lashers left, when the dps killed the big-add, and new rounds of lashers spawned
And then they just blew up
So just interrupt big add and aoe him down as well
The big focus is killing the lashers and just interrupting big add cast
The boss alternates
germinate germinate insta adds germinate germinate insta adds
so the 1st and 3rd sets of adds are w/e
you have forever to cleave them down
its the 2nd and 4th where the lashers instantly sprout
those are the danger ones where you want to use any 1m CDs etc
I never got a 4th set of adds so idk, I just remember it being important to save lust for 2nd set
Doesnt the 2nd round of lashers activate the ones left from 1st wave (?)
Thanks for the input 🙂 My dps must have stood in something else then. They were hard-set on the fact that the 6 lashers left from 1st round did insane damage when the 2nd and 3rd wave spawned
And they didnt manage to kill things off, so it just spiraled
I still pop some cds for 1st and 3rd set
They stack a nasty dot on the tank too I beleieve
So it’s best to just kill them
Had like 45 stacks of that lasher-debuf at one point
Lol
Probably need to kite them more
Curious to see how it’s handled in mdi
What was the guide writer thinking to say that the ruby whelp is an S tier trinekt?
I'm fairly certain when the big add dies, the green ring when he dies actually heals and maybe removes the stacks. You don't want to run away when the big add dies, and you want him to die shortly after the lashers
^
Both heals and removes the stacks (not the poison tho) . Also heals the lashers/boss iirc
So kill lashers, then big add, and position him where you're in the ring and he's out. Plus ideally DPS make sure they get the heal so the healer can mostly just focus on the tank. I feel like the heal is big to a player's but maybe not that noticable to a boss with millions of health? Like a 500k heal will max out the entire party but only add a few seconds to the fight.
What trinkets are the best for raid and m+?
not focusing the branch/big add so he dies slower but just alternating kicks on his heal is easier. He dies so fast when you focus him down the knockback circles and next round of little adds come up
so you can get knocked off the cleansing circle with a bunch of adds spawning at same time if you kill the branch too fast
are logs down
Does anyone else love raid tanking but then they look at m+ and just go "I would rather DPS"? Like low dps make me sadge
when he dies in like 3 secs and heals the next round of little adds and the boss on his circle the adds overwhelm you
Guys how do you deal with azure vault mobs that cast piercing shards? Cant remember if this frontal follows tank or is avoidable?
just yell at the healer until he dispel you
if you didnt get an evoker or rdru you did it wrong
frontal follows tank and does not hurt that bad
Cc on cast
the only lethal kick on that entire panel is icy bindings
everything else is not that bad
are yall running the mega shockwave build for frequent stuns and big flashy numbers for M+ or mostly stay thunderous roar?
Roar
Shockwave build just stun DRs mobs for less overall dmg than thunderous roar build
stun DR'ing issues is a myth that +25 key pushers like to spread
bring shockwave, and bring roar
ahh you run bboth?
of course
You wanna have shockwave, but not the nodes buffing shockwave
Use shockwave as a stop, not as dps
correct
i wish violent outburst applied to shockwave lol just for meme giant numbers flashing on the screen
How much is too much?
ok yea my regular build is the standard wowhead unbuffed shockwave one, was just testing out the maxed out shockwave but not worth it then
damn that's a lot of haste
Nop. Thunderous words also buffs deep wounds and rend.
Thats weird, i was getting hit for 400k in a 20 with shiele block up
that reminds me, if I got TR and the nodes upgrading it, is fueled by violence better or the IP talent
I use fueled by violence
ok idk about 20s
but im positive its not physical attack
so having shield block up really doesnt matter for that frontal
Someone said yesterday that hard CCing the piercing shards cast prevented them from recasting. Havent confirmed it tho
realy stupid question here but i noticed that theese 3 craftable 1h's all have different damage ranges, and are simming differently (pic only for reference, it changes between sims what sims the best), is there any point at all thinking about this when getting a crafted 1h?
get the sword because it looks better than the other 2
also depends if they cast fury before
That’s not how that works 100% of the time
Jaina ice bolt for example
iirc the shard comes with a dot debuff
Things that swing or shoot are usually a good idea of if it can be blocked but it isn’t the rule
Which is why the reflect/block sheet in the pins is great

nah in that case axe looking giga
In the case of piercing shards, you’d need spell block to block it
Just figured I’d look
any good resources to learn about tanking m+ and general m+ tips n tricks?
Trial and error doing lower keys
Like others have said, stun or whatever you can to stop the cast
It hits hard
Reading the pinned sheet with spell reflects is also great
Quazi has a video about general routes for this season, Dorki sometimes puts out tank focused m+ content. Other than that I’d just run the dungeons get a feel for it
are yall having trouble timing AV? boss fights seem to take forever, i'm only up to +13 but missed timer
It will give you an idea of the spells that hit hard
2nd boss is always too stronk
Party always dies so I'm left to solo
I solo’d last boss of SBG from like 14% to 0 felt like an immortal man
Especially because “monk is bad”

yea we spent so much time on the illusions the 2nd boss takes forever
And Break points for haste? Min it max caps after dropping of? Im on 23% feels like i have nice gear for fury
Our tank is a monk, he feels less immortal than me
Thing is, I'm bad at prot and he's good at monk
Even last week that boss took forever
yea but hes playing monk
No
No breakpoints
Just go haste until around 40% because dr
But honestly just equip ilvl
Stop worrying about stats
the breakpoint comes when you hit tenosynovitis
Get haste if you can
the what
Otherwise don’t worry about it
ten of seven fight us?
the tenosynovitis
😂
That's my gripe with secondaries, you don't have much to say about what gear you get
Just take what you earn and wear ilvl, I don't have that luxury
you guys really should do some research before start playing prot war
i got Blazing Essence 358 + 200 leech do i use it over Primal Ritual Shell ?
Monk is definitely more reliant on the healer but you also do get good self sustain once you start taking good damage. You also have so many damn CDs and tools to get you out of jail
Yeah he's making a good use of that
On the other end I pop block, ip and sometimes wall
And I'm fine-ish
monk has 18 different cds for all kind of situations, but they always end up kiting
ez
The sketchiest part of a pull as monk is the start
Tell me, I'm a bull-ish fury war
I mean you should be fine
I wanna know how (not) to fuck a pull
He does great damage tho
7 offensive CDs, like 5 of them do 2% overall dam each
Like the singer ?
idk i played brew last season
I only tried BM for a little bit when testing out which tank to play for DF and it felt by far the hardest so I dropped it lol
wait, so the green ring heals the boss as well? Well that would certainly be one big thing i do wrong
It’s certainly got a million buttons to press
Hey folks. I have not found this in pins and I struggle to find a source I can trust: is there a sort of tier list of trinkets for prot war for raid and m+ ?
Running tjs give me flashbacks, back when monk was s tier and dps were Not needed
I miss vengance
Timer is way too short in AV imo
And tyr sucks
Hope they add extra minutes to AV just like they did to DoS
Even when doing gigapulls before 3rd boss timer is just so tight
Av 3rd boss is the aoe based on% hp or does it have a timer?
+12 tree is kind of insane wtf
not sure about that but there are a few discussions about tree boss not far up this chat. I don't think that's the key in beating him
that, or the fact the 2 ranged were in Africa and I was outdpsing everyone on adds and 2nd on boss 
it's more about how you handle the adds cycles and ancient branch than spell blocking
Stagger offensive cooldowns on adds
I save ravager + roar for add phases
It's also a dps responsability not to all 3 pop cds on the first pack
Hey guys, do you know anything about [Battle-Scarred Veteran] is bugged?
if one pops cds on pull, they should get it up for 4th pad phase
if ur group doesn't help by running to center to group up adds, it's just really hard to keep up with them cuz a handful gets leftover from each add phase and they eventually overwhelm the group
any expert knows if 392 cloak with leech is better than 395 of same cloak without leech?
the 392 clock with leech will have more total stats than the 395 right?
yeah def
yea but strength is important as well i guess
the difference wouldn't be big enough, I'd say 392 with leech
what's big succ
k
k
You mean the big aoe where you stand in the shield? Timer
The big ancient tree boss is a bastard, pardon my French. Don't pop any CD on first add phase, just get them killed ASAP. It's doable. The Branch he spawns is the key imo. Kick the heal, dps it down and make sure your all ready for the greenish circle he leaves behind when he's dead. That cleanses the debuff you get. Then 2nd add spawn with germinate you pop cds
Ran 5 Cos, saw ring drop in 3
VoI normal - endboss, when do you use BL ? Secondphase To get the shield down or Last Phase ?
The bark split isn’t the issue tho
Also, don’t forget that the green circle heals the adds aswell
we lusted last phase
its a 2 lusts fight
So Lust at Start and at Phase 3 or what
What shield? The one in p2 with the + -?
yea lust open then p3
You lust on pull
p2 shield was never an issue for us and we were like 37x ilvl
just save some cd for it i guess
So with blood and thunder is there a reason to ever press rend?
Thanks. I figured that but wasn’t sure since it only applies rend to 5 targets.
It's supposed to be smart every time you press T Clap and refresh/spread to the proper targets
Gotcha. I main rogue and I was assuming it behaved like replicating shadows and was based on proximity.
Thanks for that info
got it yesterday on my dk, can check my logs
Yeah I feel like if it procs at least once a minute or every 90 seconds that’s pretty good
I dropped it on my rogue lmao it would almost one shot me
I'll prolly use it for fury too lol
it procced 12 times for me in a 5 min encounter, giving me 45% uptime
Dang
Yeah that seems really good
but in a 3 min encounter i had 3 procs, 20% uptime
/n
interesting is that it proced b2b and b2b2b, so it seems to have a weird RPPM and no internal cooldown
Wowhead says 2 ppm, which would be about 50% uptime
sounds correct
ive got that trinket 395 with leech
ohh does it proc leech on self damage tho? that would be cool lmao
no i recieved it from worldboss with leech on it like 240 or so
Can always a potion too, can't remember the name that some tanks use. It has a dot portion too. To kill adds quicker.
quick question: does haste increase the tickrate of our bleeds?
i dunno how to kite the orbs for azure vault endboss
is there like a safespot where they dont go
kiting withbreath is kinda grief
no, and the orbs should be eaten by the group and/or puddles made at edges
functionally, if boss stays in middle, you can handle all orbs
the puddles should be eaten?
no
there's two sets of orbs
one that leaves puddles behind, and one that doesn't
both of them need to be triggered by players , the first set need to be eaten, one per player, and the second set (that leave puddles behind) should ideally be popped in nice spots, i.e. shortly after they spawn (they always spawn in static locations around the arena)
the orbs that follow people cna be deactivated?
i am so confused right now, i thought you just had to kite those
at endboss
wait, end boss of academy?
vault
He said AV
xD
Those orb in AV are group dependant, they chase whoever has the highest healing agro, so in theory, if u dont wanna be chased, just play poorly so your healer has to heal you and then he will be chased , ezpz xd
It's difficult to be fair, the end AV boss. If you have a warlock you can use gated mechanics to move, also the stacks that debuff your speed take 10 seconds of standing still. Heroic leap is good to get out of really bad orb displacement. Imo. I've done it easily once and it's been a slog the rest. Even watching other tanks of YT, its kinda scuffed.
I'm sure it's highest healing aggro
fair
but yeah, it's a painful mechanic, I don't even know where it was early on, something they added with the fixes to the boss I guess ?
are crafting orders down for you guys as well?
or something I just didn't see before cus easy content
Tank him at a wall, make sure all crystals are dpsed down and pray.
Use charge to far crystals then leap other way around etc, but in general, its pain in ass
Having a pala for hof is a gift there
Lariat bis to use sparks on? Or should I craft a weapon
Does anyone know what the RPPM of Unstable Frostfire Belt is? or just a hum about it
its just they slow down, so I can kite one, but if there are like 3 from different directions it gets yikes
3 ppm per wowhead
If you find the item on wowhead and hover mouse over the effect, the ppm is shown on tooltip
Anyone have a WA for halls of valor first boss?>
A death knight put need on this item and won the loot, was I basically ninjalooted?
I mean my guild told me not to put need on it
Because critical strike is blood dk main stat
Well that's completely different isn't it
And they told me item level upgrade is not allowed in my guild
Sounds like bullshitting
Sounds like your guild is shit and you should move on
I could put need if an item has haste as main stat in it
But no, Guild atmosphere isnt reportable ninja looting
That is...a weird way to min/max loot 🤔
Like I could understand if it was like a bigger sim difference or something, but just being like oh this is their main stat is just weird
what do u need a WA for?
Take ilvl upgrades, make up for gaps in stats with different gems
But first, have a discution with your guild or find another one
It's not ninja looting but it sure is stupid
Thing is I put need after the discussion and won the loot
But the Dk was like hey that’s mine!
Nope
Roll better next time
I could understand a bit of discution on ringd for example
But it isn't like wotlk and you roll a haste-heavy item on a fury war
You get most of all secondaries
It's not like fury is 100% haste and dk 100% crit, roll ilvl upgrades
Is a great conclusion
What order of altars are you lot doing for Kurog's fight?
Fire ice Earth air
Moon
Or what the Last shit is called 😂😂😂
Fair enough, thanks.
Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart
Storm earth ice fire
It’s nice that everyone does a different order :D
Captain grimtotem ? 🤔
And how many stacks do you usually take per altar? On heroic, that is.
Is there an updated SR spreadsheet
the pinned one is usually updated
or if you feel there's something missing PM Sense
sooo... anyone planning on making a helper WA with that spreadsheet? 🙂
no
that spreadsheet has been a spreadsheet since legion
just learn what you need to do
aight
where can i find bis embellishments?
I think they’re disabled globally.
OH
btw what do u guys prefer in phials? The one that gives mainstat when mobs hit u or glacial fury?
Can you do work orders across servers?
Whats the shield calle dthat we craft?
Soo what do we wanna throw our valor points into ?`Got my shield from Azure vaults now.
No
Is it shield of hearth?
absoutely not
I cant see it in Pins
so what do we think about Razs Mythic? when is he going down? 400+ pulls?
When his hp reaches 0 probably.
Wasn't there like a site where u can paste a warcraft log from m+ run and it sums u up what u did wrong and how to improve it ? Remember it for a few specs in shadowlands
Blood mallet?
i only know wowanalyzer, but dunno if that works for M+ 🤔
Ah I think that was the site
Lads which shield do we craft?
How do u guys log m+ runs ? Just warcraftlogs or is there a better way to just keep it logging and it tracks all runs in segments ?
dbm
