Leap when balls converge on you
gotta make sure to clear good
thats a genius moce
if your group dont clear thundering well its not a good time on umbrelskul
so simming as tank youre just simming dps right? it doesnt sim damage mitigation?
Right
honestly dps should be able to clear the shards on their own so you can focus on just making sure youre not in a bad position
more dmg>less to migitate
and i mean i feel like the answer is obvious and the sim is telling me, but 398 toe is beating a 379 whestone, the strength is huge right
for damage mitigation
sure more strength always good
i ate all the lighting circles on phase 2 last boss NO, won't do that again
Double shield wall and spell block for TJS?
spell block is enough for tyr tjs imo
not really sure if i was just simply giving them no time to get mana but they had lots of mana low issue
Double wall optional but does feel nice on 2nd and 3rd boss
Always spell block in there though
second boss is lusted first anyway and that boss is a joke if you know how to handle it
18 tyr jade serpent debuff sucks bad 3rd boss
for now at least, i just like spell block in general over all
3rd boss is easily outplayed, just watch quazii wow cheese strat at stairs
what talent would u drop to skill bsv (i know u guys dont like it but were struggling with the 3rd boss in jade temple)
stair strat is fixed
already..damn
gotta wall it and have ip up to max always i guess
it made it easier for the heal to heal you on absorb hit
I suppose yeah
Is there like info on what specific dungeons/ abilities to use spell block on?
yes theres a spreadsheet somewhere i think
Theres a spreadsheet in pins
i use it in totjs and hov atm, can use it in sbg for slashes on skeletons in forti but im still testing it
Am I the only one that thought the arcane boss and bird boss are harder then tree?
rlp is an obvious one
bird aint hard people dont know when to throw balls
tree got nerfed into oblivion and vexamus is just use def cd and good heal
also people who throw balls into wind after firestorm is cringe
u can throw into wind but after 3-4 screeches to get the dmg increase on cooldowns, also lusting on first fire goal helps a lot
so how much damage should you, on average, being doing compared to equally geared dps? 50%? 60%?
does any1 have a stance macro?
its like 8secs of 75% more dmg to boss
pins is one
ty
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1] Battle Stance; Defensive Stance
Make sure to have exclamation marks before each one
So you don't accidentally toggle it off
like before battle and defensive?
i also like avatar to activate my bstance in case i was in dstance for some mechanic and my avatar comes back up
yes
Somewhere around 50% is usually where I sit. Me being like 35-45k and dps 70-90k depending on dungeons that aren't academy
take instigate on low count pull dungeons
ye with good dps players you can only pull like 50-60% of their dmg
which is BS tbh
they need to buff tank dmg
Heya ๐ Sims are telling me to push much more mastery o: Sims prob. right, isnt it? thought I just push haste > vers >= crit >>> mastery
does spell block work on all spells while its up?
Where do you find such dps, the ones I find sit between 50k-65k
Spell block plays by weird and I'm pretty sure buggy rules
you have less than 1k mastery, so makes sense
doesnt work on dots
Generally speaking it's like every direct magic damage targeted at you. Not dots and I think not aoe
oh ok O: So 1k mastery should be the sweetspot?
worth upgrading to the shield I got from cache this week?
ilvl wins
But what is the % I should at least aim for if I cannot stack the other 2nd stats x: Just go with Sim?
just sim
k ๐
no specific % to aim for
When you guys say sim. Do you mean raidbots DPS sim?
yes
they mean a dps sim in general but yes
because, they are many sites to simulate dps
I see
you cant sim defensively, there you just follow the simple prio of ilvl > haste > crit = vers > mastery
but if you ain't dying at literally every step, just sim for DPS
do we take haste or vers for high AA?
All stats have defensive value
When do I want to be in battle stance over def stance? I've always stayed in def
always haste Paedre
like 18+
but having haste around is very nice
RIP me
execpt for high hitting abilities I stay battle x:
Always
Treat Def Stance as a defensive CD
e.g 18+ HoV the knockback Beam
I know they're both pretty rough, but is a 372 Ancestral Protector's Stone worth slotting in over a 376 Lifeflame Ampoule?
Tiny bit less strength, but vers procs > lifeflame dmg?
id use the stone ye
lifeflame on use is a joke
does literally nothing
so the proc trinket actually does more than 0
Kinda what I was figuring
But are there not a lot of harder hitting abilities and spells so you need to be suuuuper agile with stances in that case?
stance dancing is the highest skill expression
b-stance when you dont take dmg
d-stance when you will take heavy damage
if i got that protector stone at a respectable purple ilvl i'd use shit out of it for a bit
simply press shield wall
20 seconds of giga versa
its not that giga
if it'd kill you without something else or something else is unavailable, you just, like, swap, then swap back
its like 7% vers
quick question. tanking razageth in phase 3.. how do you mitigate thunderous blast
Makes sense. It's one of the later this to master I suppose. Min/maxing. More frequently used in premade dungeons I guess
honestly i just want a 424 version of the uppercut trinket, for no other reason than i like it
pwar is one of the worst tanks for that phase
7% sounds fine to me
424 is a very specific ilevel
Like 90% of the time unless you're pushing some big stonks keys, you'll be in Battle
ok. shield wall first one. then third i guess
yea i just picked the highest non-rare ilvl
You could just be kul tiran and then you can yeet people with your fist
and obv d-stance+demo+SR+ip

but will it hit for like 400k?
in your heart no
lol
So I might want to macro some of my defensive abilities like LS and SW into def stance to start somewhere?
dont macro stances to other stuff
But is there a macro to swap stances back and forth?
It's in the pins
oh perfect ty!
2nd?
Does anyone else have issues with ripping threat from a bdk in raid?
yes and I ripped off of VDH earlier too
doing terros mythic and i have to hands off for 5+ seconds some pulls after about a minute (when bdk has taunted off after 2 stacks)
I had that problem multiple times on Heroic bosses especially in the opener
I always open, so not an issue there
yep had to move out of WF group
But obviously the co tanks often lacked hands
and it still happens
Quick question. Just did a 16 timed and I only got 15 valor. I only did 3-4 keys so far this week. I thought you get 135 per plus extra if someone got io
Do you get less valor if you are capped or something
I've had troubles ripping from other Prot Wars. ๐
simply tell your co-tank to actually press their buttons
I do too but when they have to taunt soon ish while lust is still running
i mean... if you're capped you get no more valor, were you at 15 below the cap and just finished off what was left?
Ohhh maybe
thats the most likely option
How much should be have accrued so far?
once capped though it just is what it is 
1500 per week?
no
750?
yes, after the initial 1500 first wk
if you hover over it it'll tell you what the cap is
Fuck. I got trolled. I finally spent valor yesterday before raid in prep for Terros. After prog I did a 18 nok and got a strike again
And I'm shy 250 valor to max ir
Ffffff
There is a boss in NO that u can help out by intervening
but I forgot if it's last boss or the double bosses
double
for the shot she does, but
with the change to the fight
its less important
because it really only mattered right after the winds go out
she'd wombo combo someone immediately afterwards
Do trinkets like whetstone profit from something like booming voice or the tier set dmg buff?
no
ty!
trinkets benefit from thundering however
The cobalt fingers. Would you choose the dmg one over shield one?
Do the spawned Deathbolt casters in Shadowmoon give %?
i personally prefer the tank one
I don't think they give % no
I guess you can verify with MDT
Safe to say that the cobalt fingers are viable for at least a while? Maybe thought the entire season?
throughout*
would a 415 replace the Cobalt ring you think?
defensively no, offensively yes
For me it does. Bigger Numbers = better. Simple low iq minded
Glacial Fury or Eye in the Storm for higher gear ?
glacial fury
I'm looking in MDT but they dont exist. My route that I know is at least 100% only shows 98% in MDT and I'm trying to figure out where the last 2% is coming from.
Are you trolling?
no
Interesting.
What is the logic in that?
This cant be Intention right?
Yea i heard that
Would you think that it gets fixed at some point?
I guess not
3rd boss hitbox is weird. I noticed I can shield slam him and throw in the same spot
so you cant hit him with thunderclap and revenge unless you stand right on the edge of the platform
Didnt happen to me yet
it happens 100% of the time
That is omegafkd
you just didnt notice
Do you know with fist of furry for WW eg?
same is with every melee ability that isnt targeted
Fist of furry facepalm
True in case of panda
Since start of season?
since the existance of the dungeon
but dungeons are just a minigame, even moreso back then, so it got never fixed and never will be fixed
nome whats this thing about spiteful trinket stacking when it shouldnt using a macro?
Crazy how they reuse it for literally pro stuff now with MDI
quick question im currently simming myself with 369 shell 402 decoration of flame and 415 ruby whelp shell simming is saying that the ideal combination is rws and decoration but from searching about ruby the consensus is that since we cant choose the procs rws arent great and that the trinekt itself isnt worth much is that correct?
might be that the strength is just better
we created a macro that spam turns on and turns off "track minerals", that in turn triggers the trinket
ruby is probably winning on str alone at that point
just 1 click of the macro will spam that back and forth
What is spiteful trinket?
actually dont
What to put out for Disrupting Shout?
yeah reading it a second time, that sounds sus af
i'd simply move show of force.
^
okay ๐
Out of curiosity: what is that spiteful trinket. Sorry I can't think of the obvious
Anything else youd recommend on AA+18? This bird boss hits like a truck
turns out the macro might actually be fixed
for efficiency the aoe exploding pot is always good on tree boss
as long as you dont take a billion orbs it should be fine
did a 17 today with a very scuffed pug group and just rotated defensives and it felt fine
how is the totem trinket for prot warrior from kurog?
I bet this has been asked a lot but I couldn't find the answer recently. What should ignore pain and shield block uptime be in M+? Generally
should i run it over centaur trinket from nolu even though 8 less ilvl
already using gran scale from vault
with the normal talents you can have 100% uptime so you should aim to have as close to 100 as possible. there is no hard number for what you "should" have for IP, but if you play properly you're gonna have very high IP uptime naturally
we care more about having high block uptime though almost all of the time
Can you stack on runes on Shadowmoon first boss?
Gotcha, I've been keeping mid 90's and only letting it drop when transitioning

ty!
speaking of SBG i dont remember if we have to stand in melee with 3rd boss or no? will he just start spitting if im out killing ads
Up to what key level?
all of them
Havenโt done smbg this week but they do a bit of damage when you get high enough iirc
Frozen
can you avoid the void slash in SBG?
What abilities are off GCD?
its very good.
main stat
forzen is only good in ST or low target counts
the adds just spit doing very low damage.
yeah, just walk away
iirc range is 8 yards so you need a decent distance to avoid it
Is love prot warrior, but isnt Ignore Pain a bit to strong? (New to the spec..)
Ignore Pain, Last Stand (not 100% on this one), Shield Wall, Spell Reflection, Charge, Intervene, Avatar. I might be missing one (or more)
Shield Charge too but only if you use it at range, which you generally don't
Ignore Pain is solid all the way through, but it feels OP early because nothing can really break it
No. It's very strong at low content but it's consumed quickly enough on high content that it's not as strong as it looks.
It's still a solid defensive button but it's not OP
Warriors power rn comes from the layers of defense
Dear all, is there any trinket tier list ?
Currently I am using "Whispering Incarnate Icon" (382) and Granyth's Enduring Scale (379) but in my chest was "All-Totem of the Master" (395) and I am not sure what to use ^^ I play mainly M+
totem/grief/windscar/icon are dank titties.
Icon isn't anything special until you have other people in your group with it.
I feel this caveat really needs to be stated more often.
i feel like you can just look at that and figure it out yourself?
Granyths is okay if your undergeared a bit for passive defense but its juist not a consistent enough trinket.
so is hould go for scale and totem?
You should use icon and all-totem out of those 3
for now ya, would try and repalce the scale
im not that good in comparing trinkets ๐
And if someone else has it, it becomes very good
okay
And if two other people have it, it becomes very very good
thanks a lot guys
(assuming different roles)
off first boss so tis really ez
combined with totem is a really solid all around trinket pair
Anyone have a weakaura they use to track 4 piece?
If I was to target farm 2 trinks from m+ what would they be? Hoof + whetstone?
Maybe toe + hoof?
Whetstone/hoof
100% want whetstone
how much overall does whetstone do in m+ if anyone can give a general range
3.5k dps
so like 5-6%
Yeah thats what ive done but was curious
This was on my rogue in a 15 CoS
ive been trying hard to make dragon games equipment work lol and it gets like 4.5-5ish %
im like running around like a jackass kicking these balls
2.4k DPS in that dungeon but I just macro it too so sometimes it gets used at hte end of pulls and shit ๐
dang nice
can other players see the kickballs for dragon games equipment anyone know
Ok
I need to spam CoS for auto attack ring anyways.
I would just spam RLP, CoS and HoV if ur fixin for trinkets.
Yeah I finally got whetstone and it was 10000% worth the two week grind
CoS has like 5 pieces of excellent gear for us
I think it dropped around run 40 or so
asking the Warrior PRot HOUSE what is the recommendation for crating order >
Which coincidentally was a complete slog with almost 100 deaths lmao
for mythic plus / raid
Depends on your gear for sure
But I think crafting weapon is a nobrainer cause of the valor you save from upgrading
From CoS there's a Trinket, Ring, Boots, Breastplate and Cloak that all all very very good pieces to have
Belt too
The belt is okay; lotta Mastery on it
#AllStatsMatter
I'm still rocking 372, 0 belts from anywhere
I made a belt on my rogue because I couldn't replace my 343. Still haven't seen a belt drop
For me it's Boots I haven't seen.
100% worth
I'm just going to craft myself some boots next week
Yep ditto
got one of those just now, good valor spend later
i'm using an 11/13 version of Spellbane Cutlass at 408
Just havent figured out what enchant to use.
That is 10000% not a good use of valor lol
I can't imagine how much valor that would cost to upgrade lmao
not worthy
The general thinking is that the MainStat enchant is the best one, and scales the most with increasing gear level.
anybody having good success for phase 2 against Liu Flameheart (3rd boss) in Temple of the Jade Serpent?
Does spell reflect help with the dot?
lust 70%, tell dps to hold CDs till 70%, rotate defensives for each jade serpent strike.
Last stand + IV + pot usually clears one absorb on its own.
Just save CDs for phase 2 and rotate CDs and if dps doesn't suck its fine
I use a very tanky build for temple, double shield wall + bsv
if you go past 5 kicks your dps are sleeping, blame them
The only time I have issues is if DPS die phase 1 and we're trying to do it down 1 or 2 dps
during my cooldowns is it normal to have to be mashing IP just to not overcap
i generate SO much rage
spam revenge instead lul
between shield slam resets and clap every other GCD i dont have enough gcds to
with enough targets + CDs, yes you'll overcap on rage. blow some on IP if your gcd locked ofc
it was on ST
Use revenge over clap if you're rage capped
fr?
How to live shield of light on Hyrja with no shield wall? Basically nearly die even through full stack IP + LS.
Yep, should save all your DR for it
Spell Reflect works?
And use some combo for each plus IV, pot, etc..
defensive stance
The DR does
holy fuck im an actual moron
does spell block work against that anyone know
Spell Reflect helps
the DR does.
i was the same until i read it earlier today so dont feel bad
easy to overlook ๐
stupid question here, whats IV ?
It is actually insane how many people don't know spell reflection has DR attached to it. Like...it's in the tooltip guys
impending victory, the heal
OH thankss
the talent that replaces victory rush
I am brown. No think just zug.
I just bricked a 17HOV that was on track for a 2 chest
cause im bad and i feel bad.
thanks for your help guys i really appreciate it. Time to go risk someone elses key!
It actually makes me angry when I group with warriors and never see them use their SR during big AOEs
Like 90% of the people donโt have fingers. You think they can read?
its even worse in raid with fury warriors that dont use it.
Well you have the people here that say sr is just an offensive cd
The amount of fury warriors at like 2400 that go through entire dungeon without pressing SR once.. so aggravating
ong i did not know it had a DR attached to it.
UNGA BUNGA ME PRESS PUZZLE BOX
but - as stated. im dumb
Why are some people so resistant to living?
Same goes for rally.. even at 2400
Crippling depression?
So many fury warriors use rally as a personal CD
probably still stuck in the days when it required a shield
Rally is the craziest.. shit is so OP.. each dungeon you can prevent 1-2 wipes with it, so crazy to just watch your healer or other dps die while not using it
In Nokhud last boss, you let Conductive Strike in and reflect Thunderstrike, or just reflect Conductive and eat the thunder?
reflect conductive
I reflect conductive and eat thunder
reflecting conductive does literally 20x the dmg of thunderstrike
aight, neat
Big brain strat is to have a DPS warrior too so they can taunt and reflect the strike
iImplying the Fury Warrior even has Rallying Cry talented
iirc 1 combo on +21 tyr is like 3.5mil dmg
Anyone know how Deathspike on first boss in SMBG works? I see it says damage is reflectable, does that mean you stand beneath the spike as it drops to reflect?
dont do that
How do you reflect the damage then lol
just reflect whenever the boss has 3 sword buffs
Deathspike is not Daggerfall
Ahh I see
you can see the boss buffs, it has 3 spikes, whenever the boss has that, press reflect
Cool good to know
is anyone else struggling with tanking the second boss of ruby life pools? her searing blows are just deleting me.. im running spell block and using spell reflect when i can. is it just a healer check?
like im dumping all my rage into ignore pain also
2 conductives and 1 thunder was 8% of the boss's HP.
spell block doesn't do anything against that
It's a bleed
iirc
2nd boss RLP is our biggest weakness
besides 1st boss RLP
but she doesnt fuck as often
The initial hit is blockable (by regular shield block). But the rest is just defensives
You can remove it if you're dwarf I believe?
Or if you have an evoker
hey yall, frozen devotion or wafting devotion. anyone know the ppm of wafting by chance?
primarly m+ ntanking
yep I struggled with her today badly in an 18
i use frozen for m+
I use everything to survive.. shieldwall first, spellblock seemed to help, avatar/demo shout, last stand, iv, pots, rally, etc..
you can SW every 2nd one
1ppm
yea im even using immovable object
i use sophic devotion as it translates better into aoe
I didn't quite make SW on 2nd, need to burn more rage for it I guess.. did it on 3rd one
ha
I guess demoralizing shout 2nd one? llol
If you recraft an item only to remove embellishment, can the iLvl go down?
and pots
pug healer.. r rough
yes
2nd use demo shout, avatar, and last stand, IV, etc
wish bitter immunity still worked on bleeds lol
i didnt realize that was a bleed. that is good to know. thanks all
Wish I was a dwarf
I've noticed a lot of that boss is just baiting and tank positioning... If the group is going crazy, get splits etc. You're gonna struggle to get heals but if its clean? there's isnt that much damage going out.
Horde struggle life
its a fairly easy fight if done properly.
I just can't switch off Vulpera the damn bag of tricks and nose for trouble too damn good
sadly most dps arent capable of standing in 1 spot to dps
and the quality of life other racials
Cause if positioning is good and you're pumping damage on both without needing to reposition boss so get behind dps that are baiting molten boulder the wrong way you can actually stack up a bunch of IP and that helps so much
If it makes you feel any better
Just like being able to throw an instant heal to party member is really really nice
Nose for Trouble value has gone down with better opening setup on pull this xpac + smaller pack sizes and larger prevalance of magic damage in the middle of a pull
I mean I dunno nose for trouble still healing like 7-10% overall in a key
Still good but it was great before when it actively made you immune to the first round of melees on every pack in a big HoA pull
for sure, everytime we've failed and I just take a a minute to put down world markers, explain how to stand and where to bait? it always dies that pull but for some reason, its impossible without holding their hands, at least not in pugs
Are there sims of embellishments anywhere?
Is this tracked under healing in details? I'm curious what % of the overall healing it is in a dungeon.
how do i move towards the next pack without showing my back? backpedal?
strafe
that works?
Yes
whats the angle for blocking
270% I believe?
Can you spell block the jade serpent strike on the 3rd boss in TJS?
Is that for real? Do I need to bind backpedal then.. I've been strafing left and right to get away
so then strafing wouldnt work?
isnt it 270 degrees around you?
I thought that too but maybe that's for mobs
I do know strafing works though
Ok yeah confirmed with a TC friend, it's 180 for players, 270 for mobs
Hasnt this always been the case since vanilla?
Strafing works if you're quick about it
but if you strafe in a zigzag, you pretty much cover it, no need to full backpedal
And jump strafe
You can full speed away from mobs whilst blocking if you jump Strafe and turn towards the mob mid-air
Personally, i just backpedal strafe in zigzag.
Hey all. I want to get back into pve is it east and fast to get back in or am I too late?
Ok
why does my sim say I need more mastery ? is it just cus I got low haste or ?
do we want a "base" mastery ?
My sim doesn't tell me to get more mastery
So I'd assume yeah, get more mastery
Seems like you have abysmally low amounts of mastery if that's the outcome
you want mastery if it says you want mastery. There is no "base amount" of any stat
If you have a bunch of other stats and little to no mastery, it makes perfect sense that it would want you to get mastery
it wants me to equip broodkeeper ring :c 890 mas :p
Sounds like you should equip the broodkeeper ring then
Do I tank the first Heroic Boss in D stance?
You dont even tank mythic bosses in d stance
I wanna just tank M+ in battle stance
then do it
You do tank m+ in b stance lol
Nah
remove Dstance confirmed :>
Raid does fuckall dmg to tanks
250 per
and doesnt matter stats cuz its ilvl so block value
a weapon is def not 250 per
well
it is
cuz i did it 3 times
with 750 valor from cap
i was capped last week
Just because im curious. Why is that the case? How does mastery gain more dps? Because it scales AP and nothing else does?
ap mastery gives a fuck load of AP
But if thats the case, why isnt that a consistent permanent state?
The more you have something, the less value it has
The less you have something, the more value it has
That applies to all stats
So it boils down to dimishing returns?
Not just that
You don't need to hit DR points for certain stats to provide more at point X than others
That's why we got Sims
To tell us exactly that
It's basic math
how much mas you running Nom ?
If you have 0 vers, and then jump to 5%, you have a total gain of 5%, cuz you go from 100 to 105%
with 31% mas it tells me to go crit -> haste
If my life ever depending on math? I would die, not even joking.
I really cant wrap my head around it without applying the diminhsing returns thing. It just doesnt want to compute in my brain.
I have very little mastery but because I have whetstone I have 500 more mastery on my gear than normal, so it still tells me to go full crit haste
u need to go 20+'s s
do you all have execute in your rotation as prot?
You should
i've been stalking you and your slacking @strong forum
damn :!
Including me
sorry to hear it
how are u feeling??
is it on the nasty side, or just the general fuck up??
I was practically dead for 4-5 days, but mostly fine again
first time?
Ye
No
unstoppable force vs immoveable object?
lucky, like 73% does, its horrible.
Good use of ignore pain
Get well soon!
I don't think you can reach key levels where you'd need to run IO
fair. the highest ive run so far is +6
Your dps will start getting 1shot way before you as the tank run into that kind of danger to require to play IO
That being said, I'm sure it can make your life incredibly easy
Defensively speaking
How have you guys been having your group handle wind and fire for Crawth in Academy? I have been doing 4 screeches, wind, 3 screeches fire. Then hope we kill it. Any better or preferred rotation for pugs?
id would just run aegis over IO
if you really want extra tanky
gives you more single pull tankiness and you keep TC spam in avatar for IP spam
whats io
yeah, im not a super amazing tank. i like to think im solid but in most dungeons if we have an issue its the dps
Guys, how you are doing for Mythic Kurog transition to Intermission 1?
just play the usual build tbh its not worth changing build up at your key levels just press your buttons on cd and you will do well
Some tries it work perfectly, but we are losing many tries because Kurog walk 1 step more
in wlc, what does key % score mean?
Delay the pull from middle to fire by 1-2 seconds and then go at 96 to the next
What does the key % mean. I dont get it. Why is the key so low on points? But high if I look the tabs like boss dmg?
What im i doing so badly in the points tab?
and it also seems to shift randomly between the two
depending what key I look at
Key% means how well you did vs others on that keylevel
Parse% means how high the key level was
Nothing else
I checked the sheets but couldn't see, are the mythic kurog adds reflectable / spellblockable on smite? seems to not be reflectable from vods but not sure about spellblock
Is that the key as a whole or just my performance vs every other warrior at that level?
Does it factor into if the key was timed or not?
22% sounds fucking god awful horrible xD
Like, 3/4 warriors beat me? xD
Every pwar on that key level who logged
Don't look too much at the point thingy
Felt like getting smacked in the face lol. I have no illusions about being pro or w/e but not even HALF? noo, this i gotta fix ๐ฆ
What ilevel are you
does anyone know if you can't block attacks while channeling grieftorch
No block/dodge/parry during channel
i started the day at 392 and now im almost 396
i see
So you're competing on that parse with people who are like 405+ too
Literally any warrior that did a +15 or whatever the level is of that dungeon. There are no ilevel brackets for keys
but are those people really doing 14s?
Probably
That specific 22 just means that 78% of people have earned more points in Ruby life pool.
That's it
so what would you guys say for raid, not for mythic + would be best trinkets
Whetstone + grieftorch
whetstone is better then a whispering incarnate?
Would grieftorch be justified as tank vs a dps roll? it isnt right?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/r4ANQPG7v1KbYxFt#fight=35&type=summary&source=570 this guy is 406 doing an algethar 14
Yes
Yes it is
Grieftorch does the same dmg on a tank as it does on a dps
No reason he should have it over you
problem is with tank it makes you so you can't block while channeling
As if that mattered in raid lol
hmm. Doesn't dps do relative more dps as they do higher ceiling? Or is the dps just flat dps?
It's a what, 1.5sec channel?
2sec
Flat dps
Who cares about 2 seconds
it scales off of vers
Bosses generally melee at like 1.5 or 2 sec so
You're not gonna die in 2 seconds
potentially it would do more dmg on a tank than dps cuz we're less likely to die and when they die we get CD reset right lol
okok, guild has asked us to know our bis trinkets and we're only getting prio on that. So its good to know the right arguments, ty ๐
Controlled what
controlled current technique
What is that
that is a trinket
look it up lol
its an agi trinket.
Brooooo
The attack speed wouldn't, but the jolt of damage would
It's an agi trinket
World boss item that increases atk speed
What a random nitpick
the damage part scales, though, based on what ghash said
the attack speed technically isn't direct damage, it just causes more damage
My friends mom used to tell my friend, "you can be right or you can have friends" and i think this falls bit under that xD.
hi , Unstable Frostfire Belt is worth even if i dont have the ring ?
Nah
there's an AA queue looking for any priest - does MD work on tree or something? or there's some other priest trick in there i'm missing
technically attack speed scales with crit and vers too
No priest technique that I can think of
more attacks scales with more stats
I'm aware, but we were talking about the trinket itself actually doing more damage.
Which it does, if it actually does damage
Any tips for heroic council? Never tanked it b4?
dont die
Just taunt opalfang on 1 stack, rest doesn't matter
Don't aim fire into raid, GG boss dead
man playing with Blazebinder is so annoying
so often it goes off right as the mobs died
feel like its just laughing in my face :<
Isnt that from raid๐ค
Kurog i think
Thats the wboss
yes the previously mentioned one is from kurog
does anyone have any tips for p2 of liu in temple
Even with defensives i feel like i am getting demolished and healer just cant recover
do yall change talents for Tyr vs Fort weeks?
idk if this has been answered before, but when I sim my toon, melee comes out to be about 20-22% of my total dmg, but even on dummies i can only get about 11% of my dmg to be from melee. I feel like i am missing something fundamental as i sim about 32k dps light movement 5 min boss fight but i pull 22-25kish
did anyone get any proper use out of Tinker sockets? ๐ค
i havent done tojs this week, but last week as soon as she starts casting her strike i would Ignore pain and then instantly back up so my back or sides were never to her giving me plenty of time to get out of wave.
Hey dudes, Any good talents builds for a warrior tanking Heroic Diurnia on boss?
also if i have it up spell reflect combined with ignore pain
I liked taking Defenders Aegis so that I had a shield walll whenever three eggs were broken
Idk if optimal
can i quickly check in m+, shield slam is higher prio than revenge (even if you cap rage?)
if you cap rage you IP and then SS
if you SS at 100% rage, youre doing something wrong
any easy legs or feet to get from world or M+? they are my last blues
oh and the trinket
thats what i figured cheers
Use the macro in the pins and replace your IP button with it
That way it'll dump an IP and then SS at the same time
is there somewhere to see bis items?
what's y'all's tank alts?
sub rogue
Sniping heals with after the wildfire on bear is pretty fun, all the joy of stealing hps on prot pal x4
for NO last boss, is the wall/fence to the very left of that area a good place to tank him so it's easy to bait the Iron Spear ability into the wall?
theres a rock on the left side.
idk if it got hotfixed this week but you bait him into running into it
you bait the spear right behind the rock and he doesn't even reach the wall?
yeah
damn wish i knew that before just wiping and missing timer lol, will test it soon thx
and CCing adds during intermission is the go-to on higher keys in pugs
poly/blind/sigil/imprison
we assign kicks so they're locked out and clump together to cleave? or hard CC's as soon as they spawn
you do hard CC's and focus one at a time?
prot pala. Very very close second to warrior in terms of everything for me, specially "fun factor". I'd even give the edge to pally in a few scenarios.
you can assign kicks and stops but in pugs it doesn't usually work out too well.
hard cc 2, kill other 2, safe and ez
ahh yea we messed up a couple kicks lol gonna go for the hard CC one next time
Guys, I'm suffering to manage the Kokia Blazehoof. Once the inferno is killed, I am literally getting raped.
im watching plka stream and it looked like the dragon ate the stags? but not sure
is that a thing?
I think the rotation of my cooldowns is off. Can anyone give me some advice for it?
Yeah it buffs the dragon and it's an achievement aswell lol
Wall, external, wall, LS+shout, wall
ez bonus %
interesting
If dwarf then dwarf
They are like 0.3% count each
Better pulling the 4 pack from inside out through the portal and fighting them with the dragon
I think it makes him do 10% more DMG each one? Might give 10% more health I forgot
hi
idk what + youre doing. i just did it on +5. i kept kiting him around the whole ring to avoid the lava
He is talking abt the dot the tank hit leaves
ohhhhhh
It ticks like 100k per second on like a +14
where can i find best talents for m+12+13+14 on tyranicall
Pins work
Would play the HR build over the ITF builds on Tyr if your haste is not high enough to sustain SB uptime on long Tyr fights with ITF.
Am I blind? I dont see anything in the pins
Many things in the pins so yeah seem like it
I mean in relation to teh boss
All the builds there work. Donโt need a specific boss one.
Use the double wall talent
for the engy rez bracers
what is the difference between rank 2 rez module and rank 3?
Would assume failure chance but not sure
What will you guys do with your third Spark? I was thinking going Frostfire Belt or just regular haste/vers belt. I have 418 lariat and 418 primal molten defender already
I crafted sword
where are the pins?
The Spellbane Cutlass or Strike Twice just seem so much better though
I did it cuz I wanted to be arms loot spec and not think about it.
Its also a new spark next week and still way to go for catalyst
that fence is close to where he despawns. got knocked through the stupid wall and he followed last week >.>
If you wanna bait the charge somewhere bait it into the rock top left.
Itโs for dps to do though. Not the tank.
can anyone explain what tf this means
how is the patrol walking to this evoker my fault
idk patrol in jade serpent
So in the 3rd boss room
yea the sha
what M+ should i be fine with a 377 ilvl
i pulled it to the wall
15โs if you have people who will take you (which pugs wonโt)
wait, are you serious?
Itโs doable, not saying itโs easy
Especially doable if you have high ilvl healer and dps
You can definitely do 10โs
might need to swap stances a lot doing 15s at 377
The less experience you have the lower the key as well
got declined for two +8 NOs in a row ๐ฆ
You are pretty far behind the pug curve with 377 gear wise. You're gonna have to run your own key 100%
It's littlewigs
Run you own keys. No pugs will accept you at that ilvl
y'all are right
do i need to enable some setting, dont think i've ever heard it
I don't think it's supported in voice. But you can go in and emphasize it or attach a sound to it if you want
by default it's just text
Might be bigwigs voice
I have bigwigs voice and it doesn't announce it
Dunno, I just look at the icon ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Any advice tanking first boss of rlp in terms of rotating defensive CDs/reflecting? I was tanking a 20 and got absolutely destroyed by frozen shard
Have spell reflect and use SR liberally
ye same but I dunno, it sounded pretty nice having it announced.
so im doing my own +4 NO key. anything i should be looking for when accepting people? or does it not matter since its a low lvl key?
I spell reflected whenever
alright!
But on spell reflect down time I still take alot of dmg
spell block?
Run double wall and spell block and spam the shit out of IP
saw the top m+ warr was running haste/crit on everything isntead of haste/vers, crit actually outperforming vers?
Its bit 2 edged sword. Obvs you want to increase your chances of success but it also won't matter much, if at all for under 10s
And at that level of gear/io? Nothing will be a guarantee anyhow. Like 100or 1000 io or 1 or 10 runs. It will all be the same caliber of players.
Far as nice things to have? I like to have cookies from warlock.
I ran out of CDs by the end of the fight running the standard build of spell block and double walls
And got twoshotted
Quite 
Don't know how people do higher
Sounds like you ran out of rage to spend on IP
Gotta be less revenge happy sometimes
I save CDs for when I run low on rage usually
On that fight
Most tank damage is in between the adds spawning. Not during.
You running barbaric training or no?

new to prot warr, is it like classic where if u crit u get double rage?
Less rage to IP and proc SS resets
Right Im gonna try taking that out for another healing talent
Make sure to run avatar makes you shield wall etc
Healing talents wonโt make you live or die.
Just run spell block and double wall and no barb training.
Helps the healer during suction phase
Sit in defensive stance use SR liberally and spell block keep IP up and dump with that over revenge
Ok
That boss is our hard counter on higher tyrannical
It also comes down to your group composition the type of healer you have and how strong the dmg is
Eventually thereโs nothing you can do 2:30 onwards Youel die
boss had to die by then
has
Not really lol
Healer and tank are a team you cant expect to have somethint on your own every time theres party cds that should he utilized
go tank it as bear lol
Talking first in RLP
ah
might vary for high keys but i dont think my groups have ever been that fast xD
I mwith a druid healer
pre sure only bdk deals with it better
Druid should be fine?
I do asked for xternals when Im juiced
If you canโt live beyond 2:30 you are doing something wrong.
you have access to external and a shit ton of healing via him
how often in m+ are prots sititng in battle stance?
Just remember itโs not just on you but also him
are we that tanky we dont need prot stance?
Rarely need it
Yea I guess probably I have to properly use my CDs
Def stance is for tank busters
woah
All depends on your gear, affixes and key level etc
most donโt hit a level it needs to be used. But yes stance dancing is a very good habit to learn
With just?
Lust?
You shouldnโt be hitting 3 min and above
im about to craft a gear should i make it haste/vers or haste/crit, curious bec top warrior was running crit
but wowhead says vers :x
if you need it, you need it, if you dont, you dont, far as sitting in it permanent? Go on feeling. Dont go "I have too be in this" or you might end up punishing Your group for no reason
On a 5 or a 25? Context matters lol
If youโre good luck. youโre probably ainโt making second boss
Canโt just make random statements
Higher keys sorry 20+
i thought this was in relation to her comment about a 20
it wasnโt random
ty! โค๏ธ
Im partial to vers, crit is more damage though, vers helps with bleeds and magic damage
pwar has better tools to handle first boss of RLP than most tank specs
only tanks probably better at it are VDH and BDK
Boss took 2min 50s in a random 20 I did last week on fort. Dunno how you do under 2:30 on Tyr.
ok ty for the reply, i think i will try haste/crit
just because vers is the most boring stat to ever exist
No stat besides haste is โinterestingโ
is there any other scaling with crit that prot has other than causing more parry and damage?
Hello, question: I'm using 2 piece tempest. It's 385 and gives 340 secondary stat as set bonus. It's consistently simming higher than any 392/395 pieces I try to replace with. Should I just use the higher ilvl pieces to add to my defensives? I don't really know how to tell how much surv I give up by using lower ilvl items
like deep wounds procs off crit only?
ya but vers doesnt even try lmao
I just checked my 14 and 15. It went about 3 minutes.
no
crit just does damage
vers is actually relatively interesting
because it amp ALL damage
meaning it amps trinkets and other forms of borrowed power
true
theres also some funny interaction with IP
most borrowed power items can crit though also yeah?
on Sennarth, can you charge back in during gossamer and not get pulled off?
how often do you guys use intimidating shout in mythics?
its good as an aoe kick
them running around though isnt terrifying?
its gonna get broken instantly
HOW DOES MY MW GO OOM IN A SINGLE BOSS FIGHT
wait what
he just jumped off the circle platform in azure and down to the 2nd boss ๐ฎ
so you just skip both those levels?
or do you have to clear it later?
Am I missing something with the pinned stance dance macro? It only seems to activate defensive stance, not actually toggle between the two.
works for me
xD
my heart hoped you'd say "to gladiator stance" as a statement ๐ฅฒ
I think the answer to this question is: depends on the group. I donโt have a dedicated group and I will say that I have the most success in pugs when I stay in defensive stance. Gives the healer one less person to worry about it honestly.
the general consensus yes
but there is a key level where you should be in dstance
if you watch the top end key pushers, they arent sitting in D stance
and know most tanks have a super tanky build for higher keys
its not much different than a dmg build
Yes but they are probably playing with people that know how to play ๐
even then it doesnt matter
if you know how to play, you dont need D stance all the time
even if the healer is shit
what would you take ? is there a link to the super tank build some where in the discord
not saying you're bad, just trying to illustrate that we're incredibly strong w/o D stance
M+ or raid?
m+
