naive sinew

naive sinew
#

#

Hi. Is there a new up-to-date Blockable/Reflectable Spells Sheet ?

sweet summit
#

uneven mason
gritty glen
sweet summit
#

nvm got it

sand pebble
#

i mean it might be a bug with the gearr or a ui bug

#

but no i havent seen anything of the sort

mellow quartz
#

More likely he just fucked something up lol

naive sinew
slim dove
#

faction swapped to alliance now i cant find a single person to recraft my lariat to 405

#

trade chat literally dead

#

what do

naive sinew
#

same talents

mellow quartz
#

Shows lower ilvl in the one with lower hp?

naive sinew
#

no

#

higher ilvl has lower hp

#

i got the same shield at 402

#

but that shield gives me lower hp

uneven mason
sand pebble
#

why is one 130 rage and the other 100 rage

naive sinew
#

shield

#

i dont know

uneven mason
naive sinew
#

i didnt change talents

gritty glen
#

Something else is changing that you aren't showing or aware of

naive sinew
#

wtf

#

im bugged

gritty glen
#

Are you saying that when you swap in the higher ilvl shield and NOTHING else, your HP goes down?

naive sinew
#

yeah but it looks like my rage is also changing

sand pebble
#

almost like its not counting 500 stam

naive sinew
#

like im doing nothing other than changing out the shield

sand pebble
#

puyt higher shield on and relog

gritty glen
#

Your rage is changing when you swap the shield?

#

I'm skeptical

naive sinew
#

yeah

sand pebble
#

thats busted lol

gritty glen
#

Overwhelming Rage talent is activating somehow

tacit haven
#

you're also dropping 3% haste, but not gaining any other secondaries

last pebble
#

how many stacks you swap on H terros?

#

tank notes says 1 but then you have 2 stacks

tacit haven
#

oh wait, you get 1% crit

sand pebble
#

WAIt

tacit haven
#

2 on terros, I don't think you reset stacks if you swap on 1

sand pebble
#

do you have pvp gear, wm on and somehow activated pvp combat causing your gear to goto pvp ilvl

slim dove
#

aight no but fr how do i get my lariat recrafted if my battlegroup is dead for the faction i just swapped to

jade stump
#

Heey, im out of the warrior loop, and need to gear one for next week, is worth crafting the lariat and the helmet?

how many rogues want in

uneven mason
#

Don't craft tier slots

slim dove
#

and healer trinket

delicate lake
storm merlin
jade stump
#

maybe lariat and shield? or the lariat is not worth

storm merlin
#

You can send work orders to opposite faction, just need to find a guy there

lusty nova
#

Okay, so lariat and shield. That sounds solid. I was just about to ask this question.

storm merlin
#

And I'd probably send shield 418 first

slim dove
#

you just cant whisper them directly

storm merlin
#

Yeah I have a horde alt to find horde crafters

slim dove
#

its absurd we dont just have full cross faction everything at this point

bleak quartz
#

guys how do you handle with temple of jade serpent 3rd boss? (liu flameheart). healing absorb hits hard

Is there any pins/should there be any pins on recommended talents for m+

storm merlin

#

I guess I meant by dungeon

#

Not the general m+ talent

lyric elm
#

No

limpid anchor
#

Idk why you can’t select it

#

Makes them kinda obsolete

sand pebble
#

thats kinda alot of work for pins - thats more an indepth guide

lyric elm
limpid anchor
#

Then no one can fulfill it, that’s alright

sand pebble
#

yet* ^^

fallen pulsar
#

Yeah maybe a post for the guides section

#

Guides-resources-faqs*

limpid anchor
#

But if I would want a craft and I get a tier 1 lariat for example, it would be the biggest scam

mellow quartz
#

Worst case use rally for yourself as well after all CDs are done together with SR.

slim dove
#

stupid

#

alliance feels like a dead realm for me in comparison.

neon gulch
#

Also helps to IV or health pot after the hit

storm merlin
#

Depends heavily on your realm

fallen pulsar
#

What realm are you on Varugh?

mal'ganis (im leaving soon, same battlegroup as oce is cursed)

Is prot war getting nerfs after RWF?

fallen pulsar

#

People get more butthurt over warriors when they do well over any other class

lusty tiger
#

Maybe

uneven mason
#

Like bdk can be immortal and top DPS and people are like "well duh, they're a hero class"

lusty tiger
#

If they buffed another tank- I’d want to try a tank alt

jagged pier
# lusty tiger What would they even nerf? Why not buff other tanks

as they said in there statement 'having strong tanks is unfun for other players' or somthing alone those lines so buffing the other tanks is very unlikely. besides that teh other tanks are just as strong as us defenisvly pretty much theres not much leyway but we stronger. and in terms of what they could nerf. could be a talent rework nerf some talents like sheild spec or moves things around

#

and also nerf our damage

#

👍

#

Ok enjoy waiting 3 hours for tanks for your m+ because no one wants to play one

lusty tiger
jagged pier
#

i explained it yesterday its a weird situations they made us stronger against physical damage then made more things do physical damage

#

🤷

lusty tiger
#

Ye

#

I saw that

#

And I think that usually happens with magic and dk/DH

Toxicity is what make ppl not play tanks not nerfs

How much value is leech in ilvl?

mellow quartz

None

tired pivot
#

how are you guys tanking the last boss of azure vault

uneven mason
#

Toxicity I literally just ignore the turd and move on

tired pivot
#

it gets me down to 20% with big hit from last boss on a 17

mellow quartz
uneven mason
#

Use cooldowns?

tired pivot
#

I do

mellow quartz
#

Use SR on his tank hit

tired pivot
#

does it through a cd

mellow quartz
#

Negates all damage

#

Then use wall whenever it’s not up

tired pivot
#

spell reflect does??

mellow quartz
#

Yes

uneven mason
#

Yeah

tired pivot
#

jesus crist

mellow quartz
#

Literally since beta

tired pivot
#

thanks for the tip

uneven mason
#

Also slaps

ebon geyser
#

If u don't wanna depend on healer play dh or dk

mellow quartz
#

You can wall every hit where SR is on CD

ebon geyser
#

Other than that tanks will depend at a point on their healer

tired pivot
uneven mason
tired pivot
#

this will be big for pushing above 17

lusty tiger
#

Is this our tank future?

#

Healer dependency

uneven mason
#

You'll be shocked that the tanks are all really close for external healing

mellow quartz
#

You are dependent on your healer now if you do hard enough content 🤷‍♂️

median tulip
tired pivot
#

I can easily do everything easily

#

it was just the tankbuster that was screwing me

but spell reflect is a cheat

#

so it will be a breeze

Assuming I'm thinking often right boss. The crystal dragon, right?

tired pivot

#

Either don't move, or move big. I use Heroic Leap and Charge a bunch on that boss.

#

I've only done it on like a 14 or something mind

brisk gust
#

huge diff on 14 and 17 tbh

#

on that boss

median tulip
#

Yeah I can imagine

brisk gust
#

Save heroic leap and stand still as much as possible

mellow quartz

One guy asked abt tank hit other guy responds abt movement ref slow debuff 🤷‍♂️

brisk gust

use charge on crystals to move out

Removes it

mellow quartz

You shouldn’t need a dispel as a warrior tbh. Move, stand still move. Heroic leap as an emergency if needed. Should be all you need.

median tulip

Charge at crystals. If you really still have problems, spec intervene

rotund eagle
#

Hi guys, any one know what the best shield to craft is? the vers proc one or the other one 🙂 ?

ancient lantern
#

play gnome lol

rotund eagle
#

then are the same ilvl

median tulip
#

Is the Vers proc an embellishment?

rotund eagle
#

its a "pre" embellish yes

tropic tangle
#

vers proc counts as embellish yeah, craft the primal molten

rotund eagle
#

the "other" one you can chouse your embellish

hazy thicket
#

You can't choose the stats on the proc sheild and it doesn't have haste on it

rotund eagle
#

ah cool thx

median tulip
#

Vorpal makes a solid point about Haste

rotund eagle
#

and the best embelish is the spike thingy right?

median tulip
#

All of the Embellishments are pretty much as good as each other

untold lintel
#

should we have haste vers in all piece of gear?

lusty tiger
#

Optional

untold lintel
#

or theres a breakpoint to start invest in other stats?

wooden widget
#

is there a spot you guys feel you have too much haste

lusty tiger
#

Ilvl >> haste > crit >= vers

wooden widget
#

or like you can chill on haste

median tulip
lusty tiger
#

Never chill in haste unless it’s for mainstat

wooden widget
#

with full into the fray im at 38

#

ok gotcha

lusty tiger
#

Itf is ok for some content

But guarantees not 100% block uptime

#

From what I’ve read

vocal olive
#

Been looking at talent builds from a bunch of tanks and guides and not many are consitent. anyone have a good option for raiding and M+. I feel like rage generation is kinda slow somtimes

wooden widget
#

im not doing high enough keys to warrant repercussions

lusty tiger
median tulip
#

Actually technically Tier > Strength > Haste, 'cos it's sometimes better to lower ilvl on jewelry to get Haste

wooden widget

lol i truly am not

lusty tiger

Ok

mellow quartz

Greater than or equal?

Really?

mellow quartz

It’s just equal

That off?

median tulip

Well it’s greater for some things no?

vocal olive
# lusty tiger When?

On some fights i feel like my rotation isnt keeping ignore pain up all the time

lusty tiger
#

Like parrying dark claw

mellow quartz
lusty tiger
#

Ok sorry

median tulip
#

I've got like 30% crit, it makes bad DPS players cry

lusty tiger
mellow quartz
#

It’s all very much in ‘who cares’ territory though for the 2nd secondary stat.

lusty tiger
#

I care about parrying dark claw tbh

mellow quartz
#

And if you don’t it gains you nothing

lusty tiger
#

It gains me crit chance

mellow quartz
#

Nothing defensive

lusty tiger
#

Mobs die faster

mellow quartz
#

Since you talked abt parrying stuff

lusty tiger
#

It’s a free get out of damage chance

mellow quartz
#

Vers also gives damage and Dr

lusty tiger
#

Ye

mellow quartz
#

Just different

median tulip
#

Versa is probably a better stat in Raid, but Crit is just fun in M+

Does brutal vitality basically mean unless my active ignore pain absorb hits 0, I don't have to renew it ever?

median tulip
tulip harness
# mellow quartz Depends on the content you do.

Well, assuming I deal damage before the timer runs out, it should never run out, right? I guess I'm just asking if it the timer on ignore pain renews when my damage done adds to the absorb

brisk gust
#

How much is an extra leech roll worth in ilvl?

tulip harness
brisk gust
#

Would u say this is better than 411 haste/vers

maiden glade
#

Where did those drop?

lusty tiger
#

They should just uncap ignore pain

#

Best fix

modern brook
#

It's bad

brisk gust
#

So bascially i swap those if i have higher ilvl?

modern brook
#

Ilvl >all

Even if u have socket? socket value should rank high no?

#

stupid question, but, i find things come off cooldown so fast, that i don't have time to Revenge (since it invokes GCD) to dump rage in order to hit shield slam or TC... so i just IP to dump so i can hit SS/TC. is that okay? or should I just revenge to dump and ignore the fact that SS/TC will sit off cd for a second?

strong forum
strong forum
#

i do very much believe that "defensive" gearing for raid is absolutely worthless

#

not like i ever believed that defensive gearing for raid is much of a thing to begin with

stark ocean
#

Thanks Ikarikaze; so just IP so i can hit SS/TC, and only revenge to dump IP if those badboys are on CD.

#

beauty, so I'm doing this right. thanks!

uneven mason

Yeah press IP to avoid capping

modern brook

Well no hang onnvm I can't read

treat revenge as a tool to get shield slam resets

Because of dr

crit is actually better offensively

in every way

lusty tiger

For me

#

i mean

just look at the talent tree

we have like 5 talents that benefit off of crit

uneven mason
#

We have alot of crot interact now

lusty tiger
#

I was getting called out because pins don’t say that

median tulip
#

I mean, in M+ with nearly 30% crit I make bad DPS cry

modern brook
strong forum
#

i made a compromise when i made that stat prio for pins

lusty tiger

@mellow quartz

#

cuz the whole world would burn down

if i told people that crit is better than vers

Anyone know where to put GCD on a WA so i see the gcd over a spell? I took an UI but it doesn't show the GCD on revenge, I wanna see it

the more crit you have the less you need def stance cuz you reduce the physical portion of dmg intake

slim dove
mellow quartz
uneven mason
#

It's a party parry

strong forum
#

and therefor your capped mitigation like IP and Indom do more work for the dangerous parts

The more crit you have the less you need def stance because you kill everything faster

lusty narwhal

Well I could easily have a group swapped around me but does it take prio at that point nomen?

mellow quartz
# strong forum

Must have changed it to be even better then (or worse) as I tested it on 4 dummies and tank dummy separately on beta and it did the same total dam.

lusty narwhal
#

If other people in my group have the trinket is that one better to prio over 1 of the other ones

Anyone know what nerf they're talking about on scripe stream? 🤔

lusty narwhal
#

@mellow quartz what in particular? I'm not as knowledgeable so idk

mellow quartz
#

@strong forum how good is mastery really defensively.

#

Is it not technically more value than vers

#

Against physical

strong forum
#

vs physical, sure its better than vers

#

but since we have such strong block already through talents

#

the relative gain from crit blocking is worth less than in previous xpacs

#

that being said

#

im convinced they stealth nerfed block from beta

mellow quartz
#

Thinking if you block for 2x the damage then that leaves a larger part of your IP to absorb magic

strong forum
#

cuz i can reach 60% block despite 418 shield

strong forum
#

since the cap is 85%

mellow quartz
#

Yeah yeah

strong forum
#

this is with 5 stacks of BFI vs dummy

mellow quartz
#

Still the higher it gets the relative damage taken from physical gets progressively smaller.

strong forum
#

yeah

#

im convinced block is nerfed from beta

mellow quartz
#

So IP won’t be eaten by physical as much

#

Which I am thinking gives more magic DR than vers

strong forum
#

depends on dmg profile really

#

cuz the only dungeon where "magic dmg" is scary is in temple

#

and there is a full on split

#

there is hardly mixed dmg

#

its 1 or the other

mellow quartz
#

If magic damage was not scary then mastery would be even better

strong forum
#

ya im tryna think of scenarios where vers is good

#

like good

silk cliff
#

wait vers is trash now?

strong forum
#

its not trash

mellow quartz
#

Like last season crit build on bdk as an example you could go so high that your parry made your physical damage intake so small that the larger magic damage taken could more easily get healed up.

strong forum
#

but people severely overstate the importance of it

is that good on lariot for prot war?

It's 250k dmg pr cast in a 14

Conductive leaves a dot which you also reflect

Last boss in azure used to work exactly the same way with the reflect

craggy pilot

Kinda want something to make reflecting correctly worth more

Are there any dungeon bosses you should not use shield block for at all?

dungeon slice sim from raidbots can be trusted?

My fellow Protection experienced m+ tanks Please tell me why our pinned talents avoid barbaric training. I get why you want avoid it in 2 or 4 set scenario but isnt it too much of dps decrease?

If you dont have set ofc

barbaric training is not a big dps increase

youll rage starve yourself when you play it

Isnt it 50% rage cost increase and 25% dmg increase? So less dmg per rage than without the talent

battering ram is more rage and more dmg

especially in low target situations

if you play TL you desync CDs from demo shout

effectively losing some dmg there, you lose shout uptime but that doesnt matter
