oki probably i am stupid but does swaping spell block cause you to generate a lot less aoe threat i fill like i had a hard time holding in big pack*
Oh, yeah idk. Fireworks aren't worth leaving my house for 😂
~5% less damage, so a bit less?
Eeh, it's more that my daughter is trying very hard to stay awake until 12 every time just to see them.
I think D Instance make your threat go higher
I may have read wrong
Tough as Nails generates bonus threat, but I don't feel like you should have threat problems without it necessarily.
Used to, does not in the current iteration.
No.
That makes sense. I don't have kids and no family close by other than my sister, who lives with me and also doesn't care about fireworks. 😂
Maybe he was laying on some of that thick bubble wrap while he was asking us
To see if it would pop
But yeah I'm just gonna use the holiday as an excuse to degen some dungeons 
Oh, know what key i got? Temple 22. 
That sounds...fun
You done leveling everything?
I bet Dark Claw won't hurt at all in that dungeon
haste vers or haste crit for 1h weapon as only m+ player?
Definitely not.
Up to you.
I personally took haste/crit.
Go haste and versa
Nah I haven't leveled much actually. I think I have five right now. I had actually considered taking a break for a bit but ended up deciding against it.

I need to get out of helping friends and doing baby keys, doing as much as the other 3 dps or more feels bad....bfa memories
I've only done my warrior and vdh so far.
I'm not sure what I feel a pang of annoyance for more, the people who think they need lariat over any other piece of gear, or the people who think vers is some kind of magic stat.
My M+ tank already leveled every class to 70
I'm ignoring Lariat ..taking that sweet belt instead.
ok i need more help. We're in a Heroic lockout with broodkeeper diurna dead but council up - we spawn in at the room to take a flight to raszageth and the door is blocked to try and get back to council. Any idea how to get back?
Maybe later will swap shield to lariat.
No idea..never tried it that way.
Yeah I plan on making sword/shield first on my war unless I get lucky and get one of them from the weekly
A friend of mine came to keys last night on her baby blood DK that she was thinking she MIGHT swap to
I made lariat mostly just because I couldn't get a decent neck to drop anywhere else
I find I'm sitting on cds too often. How do people find they cycle their cds for packs?
Defensive CD's?
Yeah
Pull more
Depends on the dungeon/pack 🤷
Trying to learn how to tank well as quickly as possible for my groups, this is an area in struggling
use them on cd - die - learn where you would need them
Since most packs do physical damage you will be fine with just SB/IP.
watch logs from taken dmg
depleted a 18 AA by 15 secs -.-
fucked up sanguine a lot with the manawyrms and the drakes
😦
We wiped on the bird boss at 20% yesterday.
And still timed it.

XD
We couldnt kill tree on a 19
soloed it from 9% XD i feel you
Adds killed the tank or?
AoE and disc priest heal, they didnt want to cc tree, so as soon as add spawned, they were down like 20% then abundance, they were happy, I was not
failed a 17 NO sadge
On the tree, how do people set up to snap agro on the 2nd and 4th add sets? Always struggle picking them up fast enough
Also, it sucks that adds don't instantly aggro the tank, I know we can ravager, challenging, roar, tc, etc
- Ravager potion - 2. Ake Taunt
sophic writ for m+ still best? or any new cheese enchants known?
yeah never seen 4th
frozen for m+ i think
Sim yourself.
I'm also using Frozen.
Dumb question but cc'ing the tree?
*branch
But cc instead of nuke it?
100k enchants arent real lel
you can trap it, kill the add, survive bleed with defensives or good heals, kill after adds
thing if you kill it, you can overlap with germinate or new adds
It can be a good idea to do that because if it dies and you're halfway through killing lashers, a bunch are gonna get healed
Ah so you don't get screwed killing it as adds spawn or something, gotcha
Should I craft the Unstable Frostfire belt?
at what point do you swap out coblat ring? when theres a dps upgrade?
418?!
so only consider swap out if ring ilvl is over 418?
Where Frozen
That's literally up to you.
The Embelishment wont work hey with a Lariat and Armor Spikes
Yes.
How do I make it not prioritise the embelishment?
Isn't there a "non embelished" waist
?
Also, i'm pretty sure the belt does more than the shield.
DPS wise
So does Shocking Disclosure.

Did you ever link your SB WA? I'm curious 😇
So, in case I liked the idea that numbers/duration is not the most important thing, but visual guidance is more important (I suppose I am looking for whatever you might use), where do I check it out or import it? 🙂
That's cool and all, but I think you misread; I am looking for a SB WA 😅 - Not as "vibish" I suppose? 😄
Oh alright. In that case, sorry to bother you. Would you have any recommendations or similar? 🙂
Hi folks, may I ask what are the great choices of using the Spark of Ingenuity for Procyon warrior? I’m primarily into M+
Shield/Sword/neck/Waist.
Wdym "SB WA"?
What do you want it to do? 🤔
Mooman: Aight, thanks for your replies anyway.
Mwahi: Some kind of tracker (Uptime + when I am about to have two available charges) I supposee
Like the one posted in #268491842637660160 ?
Shows you a icon/timer when you have SB up.
Ah, so that’s why there were two big spiders on the ramp and only one on the platform the ramp feeds down to.
my first mythic+ on warrior, +5 temple... https://i.imgur.com/XSh8Kyb.png
are those ok? 93 and 92% or should they be higher?
for shield block and ignore pain
That's fine.
🤷
Well, 92% overall up-time would almost definitely mean 100% effective up-time.
@ionic fern I dont find the WA that youre referring to that should be in #268491842637660160 sorry :/
I dont find anything that is updated 5 days ago at least
Appreciate for the prompt response. There are multiple choices for each item. Can you please confirm which one to pick with additional specs?
Most people do embellishments on waist/neck.
I currently have it on shield.
The above one you're referring to is the Spell Reflection Tracker, right? DOes that include something like Shield Block uptime and so?
chill out mwahi man just asked a question jeez
I will slap you.

Dude. Im sorry, but I am new in this game. Did Mooman not just before say that he didn't believe that Block Tracker was recently updated so it might not work properly or something? I already imported SR tracker, but I dont understand if it includes what I am looking for with Shield Block 😢
Spell Reflection tracker is for Spell Reflection.
Block Tracker is for Shield Block.
The Block Tracker has been update 5 days ago fully.
And even before that it was working properly.
Noted. Am I checking this the wrong way though?
Yes..you are checking "Previous Versions".

Thank you for your patience guys 😂
It's 4 am I woke up from a bad dream and that's what I read
okay thats hilarious
Hello there! is the wowhead list of crafting gear reliable? lariat>shield>sword>head? right?
Yeah it's pretty accurate, but it also kinda depends on what you wanna focus on. The pants aren't terrible for m+ and they can be used for prot and the dps specs
Imo this season its pretty much just Go and clear trash on the way
Lariat definitely worth getting asap tho
on my server is quite impossible to find out a shield maker to recraft it 405... Unlucky...
but thanks for the legs tip...
not sure if i could reach Last boss head in Mythic for the tier set tho... 😄
totally and it count as embellishment slot too
looking at the PINed messages... the IP+SS macro is it applicable also to Revenge?
Lariat really isn't as good as people make it out to be. It's like +1% over a similar ilvl and statted neck.
Weapon/shield will be a much bigger upgrade unless you already have similar ilvl to what you can craft
I wouldn't make a Helm, because that's a Tier slot. Same goes for Legs, Gloves and Shoulders.
yeah true... but you need 4 tier set piece
and head since drops from last boss should be the hardest one to acheive
it can drop from vault though
it should not if you do not kill the boss first
Chest is the Tier piece you don't use, because it has no Haste and high stat budget (In the long run ofc)
As far as I know, any tier piece can drop in any vault slot
Tier can be in any vault slot regardless of whether you killed the relevant boss or not.
So the Cobalt Assembly DPS ring is simming like way higher than top ilvl of other rings. Am I missing something here?
i mean unlike most rings it has an effect
that is flat out 25k damage a proc or whatever
Check aoe sims
i still got my ring and it does about 1,5-2m damage a key
It has half the stat budget of a normal ring
Why AOE sims? I am looking at ST, not tooo worried about keys.
because it's a trade off. A lot of ST dps for a loss of stats
If that's worth it depends on the content you do
yeah im jaded on it.
Mythic raiding is usually all about the damage. You find other ways to survive
It did 3.67% of my 18 Nokhud damage lol
over 4% in Vault
lemme check a raid boss
Sorry guys someone may have answered my question earlier but I cant find it.. If I have Lariat and Armor spikes and want to craft the Unstable Belt, how do I remove the embelishment off either my lariat or armor spikes?
Recraft it and right click it off
Okay cool, and should I remove the Lariat over Armor Spikes?
What are the best two to have?
You can't exactly remove embellishment off of lariat, but they're all roughly the same dps increase
Can quite literally use whatever you want
Lariat's a bit more of a DPS increase in comparison to spikes, iirc
It's the overall strongest embellishment.
which isn't saying much, none of them are make-or-break
Yeah, use pretty much whatever is convenient to you for your 2nd embellishment
The belt is nice if you value the added bonus of having the slow effect
belt is good if you have rings from raid
That's a good point too
What do you guys use to track party's personals/cd in m+
Omnicd
guys do I use 389 ilvl Decoration of Flame trinket or 402 ilvl enduring scale (I have the ring from first boss)
If I use decoration of flame I lose 46 strength
right thanks
tragedy in an image 😢 when the mage refuses to interrupt

well we also didnt use time warp a single time
There's a lot of casts going off at random people this season.
idk he just didnt know what to do at all
Maybe he was new.
But WoW community is REALLY REALLY unforgiving for new people.
I had a friend who started playing first time..decided to try m+2 ..
He sent me screenshots of the chat..people yelling at him and flaming etc.
Like what.
😂
Everyone expects everyone to know everything.
yeah peopple expect you to have 2000rio to apply for +2
honestly if you are new pray you are either thick skinned or have friends you can play with exclusicely
^^^
it feels rare to play with someone who's completely new
I would not, in a million years, recommend any mainline MMO to a new player.
because the people who still play wow play it as a lifestyle and has been for 10+ years
they at least know something
ff14 was pretty cool tbh
when i was new
I would..but only if i can guarantee to babysit them for the first 2 months.
😂
but ive been doing keys with someone now who's completely new and its a bit eye opening how much of the game you take for granted
Who?
yes :d
Oh, the icon.
if you are on phone you wont see it
They're talking about the new to server icon

The leaf thing next to names
I should leave and come back...
Can only see on Desktop, iirc
yeah in ff14 you got that little plant
Would i ge tit?
its really cute
👀
Yes, actually

but you'd lose all roles, too
It'd be a good bit, too
i mean you lose it after about a week ith ink
I wonder if people would still listen to my advise if i was a brown name.
then you leave again 😎

lmaoi
"Yeah I'm new here, joined on Tuesday. oh i wrote a guide for this icee vaynes place or something"
the blue/yellow/orange name really holds power
us brownies are just another noob on the same level
You say good things backed with evidence, so no
I honestly feel like it's the colored name tho.
😄
I remember arguing with people wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more often when i was a brown name.
i mean id definitely listen to a theorycrafter over someone who's not
Now like 99% of the time no one argues.
yeah people take status to a hell of a degree
I can literally repeat something you've said and have people argue
how dare you
then like 8 hours later you say the same thing and the person I was arguing with suddenly agrees
today mwahi realized his true powers
My end goal is to get to a point where I direct to your exact words with a reply, have them refuse to read it, and then you later link to the same statement and it's suddenly 'kay
i had to quit modding after about 6 monthjs because i didnt get paid enough to deal with the amount of bs 🫠
The secret is not to deal with the amount of bs.
if i ever get recommended for even being noticed for something in this server, i'm running
Je, run away.
well it was a fairly large server and we had super strict rules 😢 we only had like 3 mods from europe to deal with all the madness alone
while the NA and AUS mods slept
Though..the color change from Orange to Blue reduced the amount of PM's i get by like 80%.

Je, now i just get DM'ed about "Hello, can i get unbanned"?
stickers are huge
I can only imagine how much shit Nome gets DM'd based on how much shit he gets asked in public
Surprisingly most of the DM's (to me atleast) were really polite and actually interesting conversations.
People just looking for more in-depth information and/or maths behind things.
well they wanna get unbanned 
I'd only ever DM someone in here if that was my intent.
Unfortunately, I'm dumb as fuck, so that means I'm probably never going to be the person initiating the DM
i get DMs in here sometimes whenever i open my mouth
and then i get the follow up questoins
and im just there like 
loop lookin nice tbh
you got any tier
boon is big
I took boon. 😂
Already died 2 times on Eranog mythic padding on adds with it.
Worth it.
1m+ boon cast.

it's eranog, gotta keep yourself entertained somehow
same shit for me 😄
died to razhageth brearth once
Grief's my real end goal
Just cause it's 415
If only because it gives me an excuse to murder my mage friend I play with a lot
"why'd you kite the frontal on to me?"
"bruh my deeps"
"i'm pumping"
Hey, so I have found 2 different weakauras for spell reflect tracking, the SpellReflectionTracker and Spell Reflect Essentials, would you guys recommend one over the other?
Je.."WHY AM I DYING?`?!?! HEAL ME HEALERS"..meanwhile:
I have no idea what the second one is.
"57"
I wouldn't even be mad at that point if I was healing
Just take the one pinned in this channel.
Je, only like 1.7m damage.
Oh ok, did not see you had one pinned here, thanks
Idk, easy healer parses.
is there a way to see how much BrV gave me IP through logs?
You've also made your decision and are sticking to it
Only if you math it out.
i used to mess with math when i was back in high school
then i became brain dead and a deadbeat
i got T4 yesterday, and now i'm mostly flooded with IP
I could've been higher than 2P, but instead I did things like lose on tier 3 times on 1 boss 🙂
i took 2 normal pieces (though it wasn;t downgrade for level 😄 )
Anyone got a good WA for tracking 2p?
I mean, you should be pressing Revenge at least once every 5 seconds as part of the base rotation
the only time you might possibly not be is during execute time
Aye
Thinking of trying FbV
Isnt Fbv better compared to BV?
BrV is better assuming it's not bugged
brv?
brutal vit
because BV is booming voice, a much better talent than either of those
Thanks love
what's the minimal or stable amount of versatility one should have tanking a normal DF raid?
0
Not even kidding
You need 0 versatility.
If you feel like you're taking a lot of damage then you're either:
-VERY-VERY-VERY under geared
-Playing the class incorrectly
Healer issue.
I need my CoS trinket now.
Anyone have a nice overview or tldr of the taunt swap/stacks for HC on all bosses, in mythic too if there is any.
should be on tanknotes.com no?
big wigs yells you
Stack Dropoff, 1 opalfang, add spawn, 2 beams, stackdropoff, 1 stack, 1 stack in p2, 1 stack
pog thanks ❤️
okay build?
oh shit
wrong chat
sry
hahah good point xDD
Really sorry, pressed on wrong chat xD
I used to have a WA that displayed trash mobs main/dangerous ability CDs next to their nameplates back in SL, does anyone have anything like this for DF dungeons? not sure what its called or what I would search for at wago
listen, the shit i have to do sometimes when i join a group and get told to dps instead of tanking because the tanks "got this" and are "the fucking biggest pumpers"
it does? under what category can I find it?
next thing i know i'm main tank
in DPS
because the tank is floored 10 seconds into a fight
Not well
Cool thanks, I'll have a look
Arms is better for that purpose
This trinket ok?
The fact I'm very aware of this fact makes me feel things.
For 8 seconds Arms is an amazing tank
yeah that's about how it feels
fury feels nice as long as enraged regen is up
after that you go splat kinda fast
and even then, sometimes in regen you go splat
fuck, that got a pained laugh out of me
as i thought of everything i've had to deal with in wow
the shit you see after playing a game for like a decade and a half
I used to go Arms on Taragrue, purely for those 8 seconds of perfectly static tanking in the kill phase
I've helped tanks in LFR back when I'd lazy-mode it in like Pandaland manage stacks and other stuff by giving taunt pokes like that, too
it's so convenient
Blacksmith here who can answer me a quick question for crafting 418 ?
sorry if this is a stupid question, but (how) do you guys track brace for impact? i can't seem to find any WA for it
i don't
You don't.
The effect doesn't even stack, anyway, if I'm remembering the right talent. It overlaps
Might be a dumb question, but is there an obvious reason why just macroing "/wm 1" doesnt work?
aight, thanks fellas!
What can i skill to get more Skills in Axe Speci. for the 418 item + embellishment? Iam full wpn smith, axe smith, and hammer controll
What is the priority in Avatar (unstoppable force talented) in single target and how do you spend rage in that scenario? What I have been doing is prioritizing Shield Slam over Revenge and instead spending rage on IP for Violent Outburst. And what target count if ever does that change, the WoWHead guide says 2 target and while I do live my life one WoWHead guide at a time I want to do things the right way
Can u block during diurnas trinket channel?
TC every 2nd GCD.
Prioritise:
1)SS
2)Revenge
Use IP to dumb excessive rage off gcd.
best way to sim gear for m+ would be dungeon slice correct?
TC->SS->TC->(SS if it procced, Revenge otherwise)->TC->(SS if it procced, Revenge otherwise)->TC
Technically correct but the APL is not optimised for Dungeon slice due to mob count.
what would you suggest mwahi
Just do a ST sim followed by a patchwerk sim for 5+ enemies on like 30s-1m without raid buffs.
Great thank you very much Mwahi, these type of things are always difficult to figure out and the class discords help out a lot.
And take the golden middle ground between the two.

thanks dude
One last question, I am not trying to argue or be a smart ass I am just trying to learn best I can, is punish a better pick up than BSV? The WoWHead guide says so from what I can tell for M+, but reading them it doesn't make sense in my mind exactly
Yes.
BSV requires you to get that low in the first place
BSV does not work on the actual hit that brings you below 30%.
On top of that aspect
It's solidly okay. Nothing fantastic
I never thought of it that way, that makes a lot of sense
So how do you then prioritize in AOE what you are Shield Slamming?
When you do reliably get into BSV range, though, it's a strong pick
otherwise, it's useless
How is the Spell reflect WA supposed to work ? For me it just shows spell reflect as icon and the Sr buff I get but not if there are spells cast that are reflectable
Whatever the prio mob in the pack is. There's almost always at least one thing more dangerous than the others
Barring that, whatever's lowest, highest HP, depends on affixes and what you're aiming to do
I may be misplaying but tonight I got into BSV a good handful of times and it does feel nice to have a Victory Rush shoot you up after a scary moment
Honestly, if you want to play with BSV..do it, up to you at the end of the day.
Realistically for the majority of people, other talent choices would be better.
I used BSV in the 20 Jade i did just to test it out and see how much it procced..
It procced 6 times over the course of the dungeon and 3 of them were my own fault.
Also..don't pick between Punish/BSV.
Punish should be a mainstay in your m+ build.
So drop something else for BSV if you really want it.
You are a better Prot Warrior than me, I trust your opinion not mine. I do not trust myself that much on the subject, I am just gonna do the main build on WoWHead for M+ until I hear something different then cause that is the easiest to find info for now
What is the "Main build" on wowhead?
https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/protection/DAPAURUVUgRRQRpFRRBBNVUVEVFRFVYVUQDQBA This one that says M+ talent build
Llarold's got a default M+ build somewhere in his guide
and is what i was playing I just removed Punish and put BSV for a few keys
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/QGAxM2cRgaT3mVjw#fight=10&type=auras
I also procced this 6 times, and all were my fault I am pretty sure
Could remove Show of Force, too, if you really wanted more Demo Shouts
any grieftorch gamers
Should I go with frozen devotion or wafting haste? What did you guys pick?
i just found out i can't block 
I mean..i know you can pad the SIM higher.
That's not the issue
....
Never has been.
like this? @ionic fern for simming
And click "no buffs" below.
thanks heaps dude, youre a legend
The sim tries to assume you're working to actively not die, iirc, so if you're solely focused on pumping damage in AOE, you can beat it
I got like 5 custom APL's on my home PC for when i want to secretly SIM for DPS in nieche situations.

So what is the standard go to sim to simulate aoe ? Patchwerk 1 for ST and patchwerk 3-5 to simulate aoe ? I feel dungeon slice is kinda inaccurate
Only in AOE tho, the sim us usually for ST mainly
49 votes and 12 comments so far on Reddit
Wdym?
It's not dungeon slice that's inaccurate.
It's the APL that's the problem.
You'd have to create very-very specific APL's per target count (and holding CD's etc)to get a realistic result out of Dungeonslice..
whoever wrote this post is a legend
they even got some of the unwritten rules in there
"if a raid group wipes and it's just you and the other tank, it is a social obligation to try your damnedest to outlive the other tank. you act nice and polite to your co-tank during the raid, of course, but everyone knows when it's just two tanks alive, it's time to show everyone who's better."
i like to give myself reading challenges, go into m+'s in unfamiliar dungeons and read the dungeon journal during the boss fight to see whether i understand the abilities first, or i die first
in an average M+ Run is ShowOfForce or ViolentOutburst more dmg?
I have to decide between the two
You take both.
yea it was pretty funny
Both lol
You can take BSV
Well, not a trap but very niche.
What's APL?
Don't take thunderlord, boom done
Action Priority List.
Ah thx
As in ..how the sim uses abilities.
Take BSV if you want defense, or Battering Ram for dmg
Or sim yer dang route

Wait, what's wrong with that build? That's fine imo.
Well, i would drop Barbaric for something.
And Thunderlords CAN be dropped for Battering if you want.
i play intim shout but ive changed to storm bolt now
never used storm bolt before so i just opted to play intim
and Panda stun also 😄
i can CC so much its insane
kinda want Bounding Stride, but no clue what to drop
pain and gain maybe 🤔
i play that but with just one of storm bolt or intim
Do you guys notice much NOT having thunderlord?
not me
no
but thats cus i never really played it either
Thunderlord desyncs your Demo Shout a bit anyway
How low does it even usually drop the CD to in 3+ Target situations?
its 45sec CD anyway, so it probably only drops to like 30 sec
TC is usually like 10cpm i guess
10-15cpm
id like to compare armor spike and frostfire belt embelishment, but the armor spikes dont do any dmg in my sims, can you add that somehow?
Auto parts
does anyone track the Tier Set uptime on a WA? 🤔
or should it auto happen
jeez realized Tier Set only resets if you actually hit something with it 🤔
impending victory needs me to get the killing blow right?
otherwise it would be far too op
Hello guys, iv been going to the lair everyday for 30 days for the hidden artifact shield and never got it. Maybe im doing something wrong
not with the talent, then it's just a 25 sec cd
*i havent done the prot artifact questline as some ppl told its not needed
The tooltip still says it resets upon killing a target that yields experience or honor tho
am i missing something here
to get the resets, yes but that happens more than you'd think
yes if its on cd and you get killing blow, the cd resets
okay thanks 🙂
It's already OP even with just being 25 sec CD tbh
Does the SS IP macro only require one click? since IP is off the gcd?
Yes
ty
But remember, you don't use it instead of having two keybinds
It's just so that if you get a SS reset randomly, you can dump rage before SSing
always have normal Shield Slam on your bar
So I only click it if I have a proc when I want to IP?
just click it when you wanna IP
You just replace your IP keybind
Yeah SS I will have on bars, but I don't need another IP, right?
Correct
perfect, thanks guys
do you happen to have that macro?
it's pinned
How does everyone feel about using the Frostfire Belt to proc the fire rings?
still dont know how to get 3rd spark
Fly to the forge, she has the quest there.
dont know where forge is
It's on map in valdrakken
It's where you went for the first 2
starts where u got the first two
what is a good not on use defensive trinket?
Anyone else have sophic devotion simming more on aoe, and frozen most on singletarget? I would think it was the other way around when just looking at the enchants.
They are so cheap so just swap fort/tyr weeks

OP in what way and in comparision to what class?
Because its not.
Can u block during diurnas trinket channel?
NOPE SEND IT ANYWAYS THO
hey guys, is it better to drop barbaric training in m+ once you have 2pc?
barbaric training stinky talent
I believe that

Is it Lariat -> Bracers -> Shield? In crafting or?
How come bracers? Something special with them?
TThe vers thingy?
I made shield, lariat, wep
lmao thats foul
any tips on dealing with the orbs on last boss in AV? sometimes they just gang up on me when my heroic leap and avatar is on CD 😦
anyone have a good written list of Vault differences from Normal -> HC?
I save heroic leap specifically for the orbs
like i 1shot everything normal yesterday, but no idea what is different in HC
The orbs are very annoying
Heroic leap and charge to fracture things strategically
But sometimes I still get fucked
just need dispells from healer
sadly i still largely use heroic leap as an easy set up for immediate charge back in for to get rage
alot of time, not always
no, i don't know what fight you guys are really discussing
just, thats what i do (in general in keys), and its wrong and i should change, but i don't
mostly vs bosses,
Im just tryna be grateful
Also tryna get my rsham to go apt
bosses don't get snared or stunned or fuck all, and charge gives rage, which lets me survive
Do you know if the belt craft is BIS or not for protec warrior ?
you can craft it for sure
theres no "BIS" within Embellishments as such
Hope you had a wonderful holidays broski ❤️
🫂
anyone have a good list of Normal / HC differences in raid?
or is most the bosses the same?
Mythictrap does that
tank wise
Tank notes has it
you also whisper yourself it's great fun
Im trying to sim armor spikes, which means i need the add autoattacks to the custom section in raidbots, but my commands dont work. Has anyone done that and can share what he did?
Hows All-totem of the master for m+ tanking ?
solid
I don't deserve you
Got a 398 shield and a 389 belt, should i craft the shield or the belt with my spark? Have 2
Is there anythin special I can do on the elemental boss in nokhud offensive? I just die there
gives us a 5-10-20k hit based on the stance with i believe fire and wind having the most dmg every 30 seconds
lemee see
the all-totem works that every 30s you get an element and depending on your dodges/parry it procs? or does the dodge/parry proc an element but only every 30 second
30s lockout, avoid, does effect based on element, cycles to next element, waiting room for 30s
im not sure if this is a good capture, but it says did this much
+8 RLP i think maybe
but details is also saying i did like 9 k dps, and dps didn't do much more, have to set it to clear on entering a new dungeon
what is a decent amount of gold per hour? obvs from person to person what effort vs reward is worth but is 25k decent?
on pull you can reflect his first cast, after that you just catch balls that come close to the boss, if you step out of melee to grab 1-2 balls earlier make sure to use spell reflect
commanding shout if healer struggles on aoe phase (which mostly is the case in tyr week)
I always think about this if I ever sell a key or anything, seems hard to justify but at least selling a key can be fun
Do you have someone purge the boss? You can run out of melee and reflect the Wind Burst for BIG damage - usually on no1 in details for me there
Apart from that just keep IP up all the time
true, you gotta have a purge (no matter the week its super good to have one)
dont underastimate his cast dmg, hits like a truck fr
i do i gotta rsham that does it
same goes for endboss conductive strike
is the stance dance off feel? on a fort week should i be in battle for very boss?
i use bstance all the time
use dstance as dr or to gather a heavy pull like jade serpent last pack before endboss
didn't realize this was gigachad central. All offensive no defense
wait so stepping outta melee makes him do somethin i can reflect?
ye
storms boon might be the most fun high risk, high reward trinket i've seen in a long long time.
That damage though, has to get nerfed right?
😮 i come from guardian so learnin all this is kinda wild
i have it and never noticed the damage i take as significant
What? I mean the damage the trinket does.
I haven't played / tanked since Wrath so this chat has been enormously helpful 
sorry was thining of the trinket from the world boss my b
I've played with it for 30 min and haven't really got much testing done but it seems to be over 10% overall dmg done, thats just insane?
But yeh, the root is mildly annoying in dungeons but i like the high risk, high reward deal
High risk high reward trinkets should be like that imo
now Grimtorch.... thats a really busted trinket
which gets better when a party member dies
Any strat this week for nokhud, the archers are killin ppl even tho its sang, volc, and they don't seem to move which can cause a problem with the large roaming patrol
what embellishments can go on weapon and is it worth it to put it on even i already have companion bracers
im only 1 embellish equipped
move the dying mobs off the archers
Kill the archers first so everything else can be moved off their sanguine puddle. If you are pugging just throw a skull up on it most people will follow at is kill target.
everyone bum rushes the archer/caster only mob at start of combat can be a good way to counter sanguine depletion
monks can RoP mobs on top of archers before they die
evokers/hunter/whatever can shove
just to prevent it from healing to full
dragons can push too
same with like the big fuckers at the start of RLP
or just move the mobs as they start dying
giant rock dudes
oh, we got him to 20% hp andddddd heals in the sanguine anndddddd hes 100% hp agaein..... fuck....
you know a mob has long cast abilities? make sure no mobs are near it when they get low
prime example being shard of halkias in HoA last xpac
and you could just stand and watch as it slowly healed back to full and also killed your group
just play smart and kite melee mobs out, stun casters out or dudes about to die out of range
Honestly sanguine my least favorite affix
Yea sang sux ass
so far it's my least favorite as well
Especialy when u have full mongo pug
https://tanknotes.com/ is there something similiar for this addon?
How do you get the minions of doubt right before last boss to attack you all at the same time with dark claw?
adventure guide 
sanguine isn't my favorite becuase its instantly punishing to stupid tanks
Yah but I find it so annoying it’s actually my least favorite I agree it’s not difficult
Why not just use that really cool shield chargey thingy That does the knock back in A line
you can line up casts by stunning them, usually done when one of them casts
havent tried for ToJS
sanguine with a 70 iq tank and it goes on the group, heals the group to full and that tank cant figure out why, that key is isntant GG
but thats usually how you do it
A lot of tank nukes seem to have been made specifically so they don’t line up to not one shot the tank.
Tried that but did not work. Maybe I just did it wrong, idk
i haven't done it for those mobs in TOJS so idk i just know historically that usually works
its like, when you are fighting a giant in a pull and the giant is 3 times the size of other mobs, gets to 4% and then everyone dies and so he runs back and instant reset heals to 100% again
see life flashing before eyes
For heroic council whats the general strat for positioning the bosses, on pull to get them all together and during the fight. Do people try to keep them static on an edge, do you try to aways keep them by a pillar?
I kinda did like pull them to side and slowly move in circle
Wasnt best i guess but worked in pug nicely
I’ve had the best luck clearing with pulling them to one side and then just going in a circle
can you spell block void slashes from shadowmoon?
yeah
How to handle liu flameheart?
kill her
I mean her kicks
u can spell reflect
Walk out slightly further
Its a patern , it goes in like 45 degrees from each side, if u face her pefectly , and just move out of circle , one wave should be on your left other on your right, and 2 in back . But u can always just go further away and just dodge wave
Or tank her near the stairs up to last boss. The waves go underneath. 🧠
So you basically step out of circle up the stairs, then move back down to her.
Bonus here is that your ranged can just plant their feet at the very top and not move for anything
Was a video on wow moments on YouTube 5 days ago showing you where to stand.
Wth is wow moments
this is some big brain energy
Aye, I don't take credit
Saw it on youtube, either wow moments, or quazzi
Can't remember which one it was
do you track everything in bigwigs/dbm or actually disable bars for things that don't matter to you in a specific role?
I have customized a lot of tank only abilities to emphasize and special sounds but still feel like I'm having too much info on my screen
If you’re in pugs only with no discord its probably fine to disable things that don’t impact you at all. I have everything because I’m on comms with people so it’s always good to be able to call things out/keep eachother informed and on the same page on what we’re doing
more info is good info
with that said im mostly a WA/addon/UI minimalist
i track timers and my own rotational stuff thats about it
but i wouldnt disable stuff thats not "relevant" to my role
stupid question but its hard to sim, is 13 ilvl upgrad on chest more worth than losing 4-set-bonus?
cries in 0-set
is battle scarred thing bugged, i swear its procing higher than 30% hp
Just to be sure, you can spell reflect her kick on P2 ? My mind is blown
With the healing boost, it may just be you getting a heal the instant it procs. Only wat to tell would be a log of the fight I'd guess
it procs based on the damage of the ability pre mitigation so you can proc it at 90% hp
nope
nokhud offensive with no knock/grip is pretty damn troll this week
You cant sim survival and thats all 4set gives you
Cries in heroic leap/grip
We barely knew ye
timed a 19 with 55m sanguine healing
had a lot of 'unfortunate events' happening lol
just kept chaining if something healed
i see ty
55m is actually nuts
I have like 8.5m
Damage must have been pumping to time it
And it seems quite a lot
I mean there are a lot of lieutenant mobs which can’t be knocked but yeah
there are sooo many mobs in the third boss area that stands and channels for like 10s
You can’t reflect it back. I think he means using spell reflect as a DR tool for it, which you should be doing for unavoidable magic damage anyway
Is lariat worth on prot?
Yes
i was looking in wowhead and they didnt mention it thats why i asked
Its about 27% uptime on an 8-9% strength buff. So lariat alone pretty much gives you 2-2.5% strength
Wait
It's 30% uptime on 3% secondary stat
Im dumb as rocks, its not main stat but highest secondary stat
Aka 1% on average
Yeah mb
Its belt thats the actual crazy one right
So whats the best craft?
I think belt
if i do an 11 key and then get the craft item and use rank 3 bars whats the ilvl
i might have friend make 1h axe
Up to 405
great marketing strategy by the Jewlcrafters
they pumped and dumped us
Still, neck is a good spot for crafted in general... but if you paid more then 10k for the craft
you got jabaited
I got lariat so i can also do respectable dps as fury

Is 383 high enough Ilvl to attempt tanking some normal bosses or should I aim for higher?
cant see why not
Guys, anyone have a good route for halls of valor this week?
i'd probably see how far you can go in normal
put together a late night monday pug for heroic 1-4 if normals is succes
360 is enough
Make your own guild 2 warrior tanks, 2 priests, 6 fury dps
Lol the dream
Depends on your group setup
unable to upload log after clicking on go does any one have any idea how upload it.
100%, tanking normals at 380 you'll barely need to be external healed played properly
next week we are getting the currency to convert items into tier set, right?
24th January
So I started a Vengeance DH and got to ilvl 385. Everyone kept saying "Try a Warrior". Up to ilvl 350 and I can already tell a major survival difference. I guess Skyhold is my home now.
How do we deal fire damage to use the special raid rings?
or are we shit out of luck?
Then you play it wrong
what are the best items to spend spark of ingenuity on as prot ?
i already have the weapon, should i get the belt or helm ?
shield
shield + wep then whatever
Good morning to you too. I was making a comment that I like Warrior and it feels better for me. What feels better for you?
Pwar ofc, but my comment was about the survival difference
War is just a bit more forgiving
Their damage mitigation is much better (pwarrior)
DH has a lot of self sustain iirc
LMAO
DH is really difficult to play well and live, there is a lot going on in that spec, it is different, glad you like warrior
Dh reduction works differently
warlock kept ninja pulling and they would rarely kick
their complain was the boomi doing low dps
Me everytime I go into a rlp
for barely being able to carry him in a +9
if you u got 1.3k+ rio and u cant even carry a low dps person in a +9 then your r.io is giga inflated and you are a carried sack of nuts
Anybody got some tips for the Crystal Furys in AV? They're not killing me but damn they hurt, especially when nobody purges their damage increase
is the answer just kite?
stun their frontal
Crystal furies are the Frontals of the stone guys?
Stun
the frontal
not the dodgeable 1
Spell block works as well
isn't 1.3k io like 8's and 9's the both weeks or smth
alrighty made shield thank you
That shit trucks
But ye, stun and wall
that io range is kinda io hell. it doesn't take much to get to that range
It seems like it's always sketchy
do not kite
And hard focus 1 so you don’t get 2 frontals
yes chef
Can you even lite that, the range is massive
For 2k io do I need 12s both weeks
and they arent buffed
Or 13s
2k are just 12s?
Man i gotta work on my Rio
Is there really a noticeable difference between them?
Yeah they messed with the score formula this season because they buffed the key scaling from 8% to 10% per key level, 15s now are between 19s-20s last season just in raw damage/hp numbers
ofc it depends what drops you had, but generally its Shield/Wep > everything
and then you just craft whatever you feel like, belt/wrist/boots/neck/rings/trinkets
maybe helm or chest
Scaling only changed after 10
my prot damage is like 5-7k lower than it should be
its not that high to 2k IO tbh...u need an average of 187.5 points per key which is 250 points per dungeon which is like a timed 13 in each
So a 15 is like an old 17
i'm 390 ilvl and only doing 23-25k dmg on dungeons
sounds a bit low
im 397 doing 40-45k
yes i know. my vdh is same ilvl and doing 30-35k
are you in battle stance
no
That’s an issue
Doesn't matter still should do more than 23k in dstance
be in battle stance by default then switch to defensive when needed
yes regardless it should be more
Did u sim
that's the easiest quick fix
Idk wouldn’t say that. Kinda depends on the key and the pulls
base talents for reference
~12-15 keys
I had the same issue...Dstance and defensive talents...averaged 26k per dungeon
I find most people having damage issues in keys pretty much regardless of what class/spec they're playing is just not using CDs enough
yea those are my talents
swapped talents and dstance and did 42k on next dungeon
especially this early when nobody knows all of the super optimal pulls pretty much send everything on cooldown
Go sim ur character and compare it to other ppl Sims in here
Apparently the adds on shadowmoon first boss gives 3 count each.
Lol
Wait so i should be in battle stance while tanking ? my stupid ass was perma in dstance
yea same lols
When you are not dying yes
Use def stance as a def cd
ya this on its own will give u like 5k dps
from there make sure u have Demo up as much as possible
U don't need count from those mobs tho
yeah. I'm sitting in battle stance most of the time in 15-17's
could swap to defensive for a cd, such as on Hyrja's tank knock back
If you kill 2 adds then you dont need exhumer 4
Ye the way I heard to use stances was to treat Dstance as a cooldown
The patrol one after 2nd boss?
Shift in when you're dying and then shift back when it's chill again
Yes, since you are missing 4 count if you skip one exhumer. Not saying its big, but just a wierd interaction. Was wondering earlier why i still had 100% count after skipping the patrol.
there's no joy like pulling the whole area of algathar's tree boss in battle stance and seeing your dps hit 200k+
Nice to know tho
Is it better to spam all the SB charges on pull and get like a 23 second SB or space them out
Guys, is there anyone with a good HoV route?
ideal is to space them out as needed. what if you kill the pack in 15s?
or have some downtime during the pull
There's not really anything special to routing HOV. Skip pretty much everything in Fenryr area and pull the tables. You need 84% before you go up pto the 4 minibosses
Yea I see
are u in dstance
Do we know how do Spikes in your shield compares to the Infurious Helm of Vengueance in terms of dmg? Can't find the dmg of the helm in simulationcraft so I can't compare
pins
I see, ty
What embellished are we crafting ? Other than lariat
Based on what I read in the pin, Frostfire Belt + whatever you like the most
I already crafted the belt and it does 2-2.5% of my st dmg
Whatever your weak peace is and what you are expecting to get from raid, ideally sim it
You'd normally craft shield if shield is low, weapon if weapon is low, lariat or belt as third option
Shield does drop off first boss of raid
Its not great stats but if your raiding youll get one eventually
So use that info as you will
hi do we know "the hast cap"
40% is when stats have a punishing dr
27k
Anyone have a WA for shield block?
I saw this posted a little over a week ago, but I didn't really understand what the consensus was. It sounds like it doesn't make sense to macro IP to SS, but is there a reason not to macro SB to SS?
pretty easy to make a weakaura, even has a template to follow and basically does it all for you
they arent macroing ip to ss, they're macroing ss to ip
it saves a few millisecond of key input when using ip if the gcd isnt triggered
and ss isnt on cd obviously
If SB is up already that 30 rage could be spent on revenge instead
So something like /cast Ignore Pain /cast Shield Slam? Wouldn't that waste a lot of rage?
It replaces your IP bind not your SS bind
