also had an outrageous amount of revenge casts compared to slams
talking 3:1 or more ratio
not the greatest block up time
i would have barely made it if at all on a 15
those are CD's it says i used
Thing is i got a 402 shield 😛 And will guaranteed get the shield from M eranog when we kill him
there's no guarantee it'll ever drop.
you get another spark next week, just make a 418 primal molten
in a perfect world what embelishments should you use as a prot i guess the neck and what more. going to craft mainhand ^^
should i pick the wellfeed one and then go for other embelishment on other piece
healer in my group just said 3rd boss temple of jade serpent is free
do you guys consider that boss free
As a warrior the 2nd phes is a ass
Yeah no idea what they talking about
i mean i run spell block and everything I told them to lust at 70% so we can get out of 2nd phase
healer needs to at least understand that it can really fuck tanks over
Does spell block work on Azureblade?
how does Temple 2nd boss 'feeling of superiority' (dam and healing buff) target players? what determines who gets targeted?
Yeah
best way to tank last boss of azure vault?
Drop-dependant. You can craft the belt, if you have the raid rings (and probably a fire damage trinket of some kind). Personally I have the wrists of +Vers. The Potion one looks good if you're a potion addict like myself though
Either don't move, or move a lot. Don't stutter step.
clockwise around room, minimize WASD movement, use leap/intervene/charge (to crystals) to reposition.
oh sorry, i meant like positioning? can i tank him somewhere so fractures spawn better
avatar can be saved to clear roots also.
use thundering affix to move
it doesnt cleanse the debuff but you cant be slowed during it
the perma food buff extender thing they added is my favorite and doesnt even use an embelishment slot
you can stand on the wall kinda and that helps
Is there any Elemental Lariat crafters here on Kazzak?
is there still a keystone downgrader guy in main city
2nd boss ruby life pools. Do you position the whole party together in one stack?
im gunna check beside great vault
The initial target is random. You can hand off the debuff to 1 or more people by standing on top of them/them standing on top of you. This removes the debuff from you and gives it to them. Transferring the debuff to a new person starts them with fresh stacks and yours drop entirely.
ty so much for this info
You can use that whole upper ring that youve cleared all the fire eles out of so the positioning is as key
If you use all that extra room
You generally want everyone around the boss, as it makes it easier to bait both add spawns and molten boulders.
he is by the ports to the old dungeons
its a panda
The add can spawn on anyone including the tank, so once you've moved from the previous add, you want to stack with the party to bait the add spawn behind the boss (behind meaning where you just came from)
...
where they at lol
legit i didnt know there is portals too them
and none of my guild knows apparently
More accurately, there are portals to the areas of the old dungeons
Dalaran, Shadowmoon Valley, and Jade Forest
To the right of the steps leading up into the main building of Valdrakken
My ruby life pool headache is the boulder. It goes off all over the place covering the floor in fire patches. Not sure how to keep it clean.
Or behind the boss
Boulder randomly targets a non-tank member of the party. People need to bait it either to the side or to where you were previously.
And just point the bosses bum somewhere convenient
This is what I thought. Ok thanks for confirming.
Non tank - i didn’t realise that
More like heatball amirite
Just got 398 ring from nokhud, I assume it is better than the tanking ring from cobalt assembly with all the vers right?
Hi, what gems should I put in my lariat aside from the main stat gem one ?
would never take that off even if it would cost a slot
If you want the proc to be haste your gems need to be low haste high other Stat. Vers or Crit is personal preference
tyvm!
yep same
I didn’t know this! It procs the LOWER gem only?
Yes
do you guys generally run lower haste gems or wat
It procs off gem element which is determined by the lower Stat yeah
Lower meaning like...if your gem is crit > haste (meaning more crit than haste), the proc will be haste. Assuming all your gems are the same thing.
Ahhh sheet I’ve got the wrong gems
If I play both fury and prot should I get big crit small haste gems?
Hi, is icy-vains still the best talent build ?
The one in the pins is the one I use
Why do people go wild over the food buff ring embellishment? Seems like QoL only and not a throughput increase. Yeah it's free I get it
Any advice on what gems to get for lariat if I play both fury and prot please?
It's a throughout thing if you don't refresh your food buff every time you die
It's free. It's QoL. And it's not just for rings.
It's a nice bonus, feels weird to not get food buff when healer is drinking though
Which most people don't do
And in keys, if you die, generally you don't want to take 10 seconds to reapply food
its the best thing they added to wow in years
Prot warriors never die
I'm probably buying it if I don't get it from the soup today.
major buff to panda too
Plus it saves you money on food by doubling the duration and not requiring you to use multiple foods per dungeon (even if you did reapply it constantly)
But it used up one of your two embellishments no?
I’m getting that for sure
once you have you you can never go back
Can you tell me what ring you get made to put it on?
Signet of titanic insight
can go on any crafted item that accepts embellishments
Thanks
It can go on any item tho
i put mine on my sword believe it or not
don't craft rings
Take that back. My alt crafts 418 rings and gets rich.
Ohhh it can go on sword!?
Yah
Nice
may not be ideal to put on sword/shield if you play arms or fury but I dont so all good
yeah, only downside to those 2 things is they are prot only
how does haste affect shield block uptime?
Lowers the sb cd
it lets you use shield bash more often
More shield slams for heavy repurcions + lower cooldown on block
does it cap out at 13 though?
13?
13s on the cd
no, you can check p easily by changing to ITF on the target dummies
f.e tooltip didnt change when taking 5% buff in algethar academy
what it does is let you cast shield slam more often
that is the main benefit to shield block uptime
with haste
cheers, was just trying to figure out how to have high uptime with ITF
is spell block good for soaking razageth beam?
just shield wall it
youd use spell block anyways for the DR.
dont make the encounter any harder for your healers then it has to be.
w8 spell block
okay thanks, never used spell block so i dont know how it works
isn't it nature damage?
spell reflect ofc youd use it
yeah i use reflect but just thought about if the block works too
to further mitigate the beam damage p3
its thunderous blast right?
i think so yes
it is blockable according to the spreadsheet
i dont see why not. tough as nails ain't gonna amount to much on her.
Yeah my last raz kill, tough as nails was a whole 1.69% of my dam.
To clarify, haste doesn't actually affect Shield Block uptime. It might affect how easy it is to have uptime, but you can have 100% effective uptime of shield block with 0 haste provided you're running Heavy Repercussions, Enduring Defenses, and Champion's Bulwark.
You need to use shield block + spell block together? Or it's only needed to use spell block?
Both
Hey guys! I'm a bit new to prot warrior, what rings would I be using? the haste/vers from Nokhud? Or the crit/vers from raid, combined with court ring?
both together.
You should always have Shield Block active regardless because it increases Shield Slam damage.
Cool 🙂
whatever you can get. Perfect world, probably the damage proc ring from raid and the court ring
Okay, cause I do have the damage proc one, with Court atm but just got the ring from Nokhud as well
If we have 4pc, do we press ignore pain? or just spend rage on revenge?
You always have to press Ignore Pain for rage management
Revenge by itself won't prevent you from overcapping
ok
depends on the ilevels of them
So what should I put this food embellishment on if I play both prot and fury?
ring from raid is 395(N version) and the ring from nokhud is 385 but i'm able to upgrade it
an item that both specs use I'd imagine
As it stands, it's an easy choice. But you can also do a top gear sim (click the plus on the nokhud ring to add the valor upgraded version) to see if upgrading the NO one would be better damage-wise.
It would be better defensively
to use the NO ring upgraded
aite!
first 418 upgrade - sword, shield or lariat?
I personally lean toward shield myself
shield>sword>whatever
cheers
How do I always have the camera to max zoom out so I dont have to scroll?
dont scroll back in?
Unbind zoom in
Ah yea that's the play, holy mb 🥲
Which spreadsheet?
is there a reason why alot of prot warr in keys are running shockwave capstones instead of going into thunderous roar?
on a tyrannical 20 AA, the wind stuff doesn't activate so can't reset the stack. Anyone encountered this ?
Who? I'd like to see the build
Thanks!
Supa common 😦
yeah buggy af
If it bugs it’s kinda kill or be killed.
ive had like 5 today who are running no ravager and no thunderous roar
on +20 AA, very likely be killed
only low IO tanks but still thought it was weird
at what kind of level keys?
the key is bricked then ?
under 10s. just doing alts atm
then there is no reason, they just dont have a clue what theyre doing
it just seemed very common
Under 10s are a shit show
like sheesh
It’s doable up until around 5/6 depending on setup. But a fresh pull can resolve
those people will see 350% increased dmg from shockwave and pre-cum
What % uptime of shield block can you have with into the fray? Currently running heavy repercussions but wanna up my damage
When crafting the sword at 418... Do you use Fang Adornments?
You can run bolster with ItF and not lose uptime
Oh sick I didn’t even think of that
I probably wouldn't unless you think you'll keep it forever (e.g. you'll never have like lariat and belt at the same time)
Would I just drop something like tough as nails?
@warm plinth I already have max Lariat, I seen a ton of prot warriors using the swordd.. I dont raid so yeah lol
sbg hotdix is nice but could they hotdix the visual as well
yeah, or like pain and gain if you're running that
is alch trinket real bad or is it passable
i did. 1-2% overall for me.
(haste)
dd keep dyong on the wall debuff 10 feet away
It's fine but I think most just don't feel it's worth the spark @lucid pendant
Because there are quite a few better trinkets
assuming ive already used a spark on it, is it worth upgrading etc
understood, so what would you get crafted? @warm plinth
Yeah if you have max lariat and don't raid...do you have a high ilevel shield already?
418 ye
Glad I didn’t craft shield yet. Got 421 shield from AV in vault this week
ayeee
huge
BIG
that is quite a multicraft
those are like 8g, no?
I nut when I multicraft 2 or 3 gems on JC
Question, the raid build in the pins takes into the fray over heavy repercussions(M+ build likes heavy repercussions). I like heavy repercussions personally over into the fray. What haste % for raid is good enough to drop into the fray in a raid situation for heavy repercussions?
how do you look up in a wcl the fraction of hits that were blocked?
question how important is 4 set
damage taken>hover the number of melee hits (the 701 number)
It's nice, but I don't think it's absolutely mandatory. At least I haven't needed it through Heroic raid and 18 keys.
amazing thanks
ty for info
sophic or frozen? whats being used? i cba changiong
what you guys build with 3. spark i have neck and weapon with embalish ?
shield if youve been cucked in vault
bird boss AA suck
if crit = vers, do we sim to figure out what to use on crafts?
fury warrior probably ego over the moon now
oki thanks, wat do the pros pick then? kekW
i died to bird and died to vexamus at 4 million hp, and the "healer who was new to healer" kept him alive fine
how do i get artisan's mettle
i want someone to recraft my wep from 405-418
soemthing goal of fire or something hit us 250ik, im not sure if thats swirl or we need to change to blue mechanic
The wind is substantially more aids than the fire on bird boss
you can get it from gathering too
On bird boss you don’t drop first balls until 3-4 stacks of screech, then you drop fire ones, 3-4 stacks of screech again and you drop blue ones
any primary proffession
Makes the fight way easier
if it's a personal order I think you can ask the crafter to use their mettle too
So 4 stacks of screech then fire portal then 4 stacks again and then air portal?
3-4 yes, it does more dmg after each screech
I think 4 stacks is good enough for 90sec CDs sent at start
So all depends on key level and if it’s coordinated group
At some point people need to use defensives or will get one shot
i do 3 stacks and stun during the cast of 4th screech
My group did defensives on 4th and stun before 5th
is 35% fine for 418 proc or should i look for higher
As I said all depends on group and key level
I mean you can find someone higher or just send?
Hey guys again, I know it's not M+ server but should Hirja in HoV start her fight with the pushing beam? It feels so wrong and happens so rare that I think it's bugged but is it tho? Thanks in advance
Is there a minimum haste to be at before running heavy rep in keys over ITF
Which week is considered harder for tanks the week with stronger adds or stronger boss?
both really it's more about secondary affixes
hi folks, new here. looking through pins i couldnt find anything but i'm sure this has been asked before. how do we evaluate which trinket is better? is there a ranking list? or do you sim this? but sim would be for damage right?
35% is pretty good, I think guy that my weapon said he had 45%, but you never know if they’re lying or not.
Sim, yes. We don't really need defensive trinkets but decoration of flame and all-totem of the master are both good and do good damage as well
I'd agree that it's both, at least in this expansion. There's shitty trash and shitty bosses in a lot of dungeons for tanks.
thanks!!
Heavy Rep is good at any haste level
Ok I always thought in the past we wouldn’t run it till we got to a certain haste point
Think it was ~35% haste when you swap to itf
its actually the other way around, only with very high haste, ITF becomes better
playing battering ram also greatly reduces the "feel the need" for haste
Oh gotcha so just keep running heavy rep? I’m at like base 25% haste I believe not home so can’t look atm
Ok
anyone good at reading logs ?
depends on what you want
is that potion of shocking disclosure actually worth using in m+? thoughts?
its really good in aoe ye
send it through maybe we can find something
scales on number of targets as well
pumps on tree boss
yah i use on tree boss
but I am actually thinking just using it all the time
on all kinds of crap
I just use it on big pulls, hard pulls.
it really helps getting aggro on big spread pulls
what kills me on bird boss i think whenever it casts deafening screech thats what got me
If my lariat has 1 socket, can I get a 1 star then a 2 star setting to get 3 sockets? Or so I need to get a 2 & 3?
2&3
Hello,
I had a small but important question.
I have 2 embelish (the lariat in 418 and the ring embelish potion)
I wonder what is the next craft to do? I saw that the weapon was used a lot but I have the weapon 415 hast/versa/leech.
The tips? The bleed? On which piece ?
craft what ever is your lowest ilvl
after embellishments, crafting only really covers your ilvl weaknesses and lets you upgrade stuff that is harder to upgrade
You can only have two embellishments, food buff is the one that doesn't counts afaik
ya food buff def doesnt count as embellishment
what ilvl is your shield
just had a disc priest melt down during azureblade... do disc priests not do well with movement or wat
how do i tank ruby life pools first boss
i am getting absolutely fucking annihilated
i am reflecting every single one it's up for
spell block
and im running spell block
also 2nd boss much harder imo
Basic tank cool down rotation
but im just getting domed for 150-190k per shard every 2 seconds lol
and sometimes it overlaps with the chill storm
Yeah it will
so i take 2 180k hits within 0.1s of each other
Vic rush right after the shard
Gotta use your gamer Skillz
But in all honesty at some point its on the healer
yeah but i wanna make sure i get my bit down
im pumping all my rage into ignore pains
idk if it's even worth revenging for 2pc
feels like it's not
Yeah you should still be casting revenge
if i have a really low ilvl slot, is it worse to craft a 405 and then recraft to 418 when i can rather than just waiting for the mats to craft a 418 version off the bat
402
Could be worth it to craft a shield
Try to have a cooldown or spell reflect up for every chill storm, since the overlap between the AoE damage and her normal tank nuke is usually the scariest part. I usually spam IP as much as possible and use reflect when my IP is out to give me a second to get it back up. Impending when you start actually dropping hp. Don’t use anything during the shield phase, that’s the lowest damage intake part of the fight. Ask your healer for an external if spell block, shield wall, last stand, demo, and reflect are all on cd and your IP isn’t high.
I was advised the belt
I did it on 21 this week and it was honestly scary as hell, not sure what to do on higher keys.
This is probably a dumb question but if I use IP while it's already up does it add to the old one? Or will it overwrite
It adds, up to a cap.
i assume i need a certain amount of haste to keep shield block 100% uptime without using heavy repercussions?
You should get a weakaura to track how much IP you have and whether it’s capped or not. Most of the time you just press IP anyway to prevent rage capping, but in some scenarios like first boss RLP it’s helpful to know how much absorb you have up to know if you need a cd or if you’re fine.
You should functionally be able to keep 100% sb uptime with any 2 block talents (HR, Bolster, Enduring) and not that much haste. If there is a certain amount of haste needed it’s probably not higher than 15%.
yeah this was a 21
we did like a ton of pulls and either i'd die or one of the dps would
okay thanks, i think i'll just play HR since this is a fresh alt and it seems easier while im still learning the class
rlp is especially rough lul
the first 2 bosses of rlp feel drastically harder than like any other bosses from any other dungeons
they absolutely are
is there a way to send a recraft to off server players. Been struggling to find someone that can make the 405 Shield on my server
recraft/craft orders are cross-faction but realm specific.
if you're looking for a recraft, someone's gonna charge you anyway if it's not the original crafter
may as well just shout til you get one
Yo, what flask is the best for M+ for prot warr?
eye of the storm iirc
i guess eye is kinda shit for bosses though
im using eye
ive been running vers this week just to help survive lol
same with temple 2nd boss for me actually
im....not sure i understand the fight
like
i dont even know what question to ask really i just take infinty damage the entire time
i thought we give that to them later on
or do we just let them have it at the start and they just hold it?
isnt the dot like crazy from it?
Nah
oh
Plus they heal so much with it they don't care
do you just give it to them at the start and leave them alone?
My disc was casually pumping 90khps not even trying
and is 7 still the swap? or do people max one out now sometimes?
i feel like im just getting assblasted and idk what to even cooldown lol
no time seems any better than any other time
6 safer, but once healer has high stacks, that fight is then a joke
ok
You don't even have to try and immune the boss, healer can out heal all the damage
that dungeon's just a full on healer check then huh
seems like boss 2-4 are all on them
it really is the most intensive on the healer
tbf, most dungeons are rn
the ones that aren't are the "free" ones
2,3,4 jade strike is healer reliant
2nd, 3rd, 4th prob
or just the bosses
Bosses
right yeah
jade strike i kinda got down after asking for help in here
but it's still hella sus sometimes
sophic devo or frozen devo?
how do you survive 2nd boss RLP when searing blows comes out at the same time the add dot is happening?
like I have defensives for the first two
but then it's just like I'm supposed to pray or?
holy priest is not very good at healing jade strike
Yes
The healer needs to defensive you as well
just have an evoker
they are probably the worst healer for it
we did that too @frosty mango
Disc
eventually runs otu
You're not living alone above like a 17
yeah I did spellblock on 1st, wall on 2nd, bark on 3rd
Holy is slightly better than disc there
after that I just died
spell block doesn't work on searing?
is that 2nd boss tank buster physical?
I tanked it on 18 last night and I used reflect + spell block + wall then rotated wall with healer cd
Make sure you save IV for that too
wdym, disc has pain suppress and peanance+powerw word shield
ah you're right
still, lived the first one
disc should be better at that than holy
imo, ruby is a good spot for running 2 charges of wall
Pain sup did nothing on a 17
on tyran
It works on the elemental shit which usually gets you
bro...
it was enough on a 20
i totally forgot 2 charges of wall was even an option
just that and his healing covered an entire jade strike
that...might actually just be the play
your disc healer was probably not very good
wall, def stance + demo, wall, def stance + external, prayge
lol
good point, prob BSV too
feelsbad
@tropic tangle
im like fully in defensive stance for these 20+ rlps
I was looking at hp not go up for like 4-5 s after jade strike, I'm inclined to agree
Rlp is basically free other than that boss
i need every bit of mitigation i can fuckin get in there
What is IV?
idk if you're aware but disc kinda fucking sucks atm
disc has been doing very well on that boss for me, they can outheal it and their damage really adds up to skip a jade strike
All three bosses are hard if even one person misplays in rlp
Impending victory
Ty
rlp is as cursed as AV on tyrannical
My disc has no tier so that could be a big difference too
the two dungeons that I can only complete with at least 3 premades
I rotated IV, shield, pots, nada
Disc has a high skill floor
my disc is one of the best in the world
RLP has the usual thing for a 3 boss dungeon on Tyr
Most discs will be garbage but when you find a good one they're basically little heal gods
they are not very popular so it is not the hardest thing to achieve
There's like 150 discs so yeah, not to hard to be the best one
3 boss dungeon = base harder bosses = nightmare on Tyr
but man, disc really has some nasty damage with their good hps
the upcoming buffs will actually make them cracked
Honestly the changes to smbg dot zone damage is hilarious
I tried to play Disc on my Priest, and I just cannot get my head around it
So many people dying now
dude they buffed the FUCK out of it
So I have pretty high respect for anyone who is good at it
the dot is a one shot to dps now
I failed a 19 smbg earlier going into the last boss with 13 minutes
he tried to explain some stuff to me and it was so much that I just told him to stop
it is crazy
Disc sucks in a way people who main them love them, but they have to do so much to try and be on equal footing with "tee hee zephyr living flames go boom" evoker
Disc can be extremely good
Disc is definitely healing on hard mode
Especially at high keys with their damage output and preemptive shielding stack but the person playing it has to be good
Also if someone else in the party fucks up it's much harder for Disc to recover, AFAICT
the last boss AOE thing?
no the dot you get from touching the effect behind the wall
A shitty holy priest can strugglebus it through a shitty disc priest is just gonna fail relentlessly
ohhh
it used to do nothing and now it murders you
really not liking the following bosses:
Kokia
Hyrja
Crawth
Hyrja is not hard
something always seems to go wrong
Crawth is worse than hyrja
I can't stand the worm boss
but I agree hyrja is easiest on that list
hyrja is really not that bad when you get her down yeah
She does have that yeeting tankbuster
I always laugh when someone shows me a clip of me getting yeeted across the room
Unless you have three melees who don't avoid sanctify
oh lightning right
Light side is a joke; nobody should take any damage from it
yet someone always does
I always have some melee tell me they're a galaxy brain and they can dps during sanctify
They almost always die
You can
When I play it as fury I never die, it's the same pattern over and over
You can DPS during it; her hit box is MASSIVE
Crawth is actually no joke
it keeps bugging out also
crawth puts out a shitload of damage
Crawth is nasty on higher keys, sure
They should make searing blows a frontal
I'd rather 100% kill one dps than die over that 300 yds melee bleed
Anyone have suggestions for professions as a prot war?
Not really but if you only care about gold you could just go gathering professions
I went alch for flask time
could go mining/bs/alch for cos
Still if it's an ilvl upgrade and the versa ain't bad i suppose?
Yeah
any tips for tanking searing blows from 2nd boss ruby life pools? im rly struggling living on that fight
But its not the vers your using it for
Vers isnt the "tank stat" just because it gives dr
Btw
nah it gives +% dmg aswell i suppose
Kite 🙂 - Plenty of room and clears out the fire aswell
You can't kite searing blows
oh u can kite the tank hit?
Im saying its not better then any other stat for tanks just because it gives dr
Unless you hearth
Oh okay xD
This is the real play
Hey, what is IV ?
Impending victory
Impending vuctory
Ty all !
Right, makes sense. Did end up giving it to a dps in the end
Why is people playing Titanic Throw over Fear? Feels like Fear talent u can get value out of in every dung
did anyone do algethar at 20 or higher after the hotfix?
how are you handling savage peck
While Titanic feels pretty useless
You can always sim upgrades for dps
Especially trinkets. Not many are worth using for its defensive capabilities rn
Probably people not playing properly and having threat issues so they take it as a crutch
And honestly if the eggnog trinket dropped later in the raid i doubt ppl would use it
Evoker can clear bleeds and use time dilatation when it's on cd
so cauterize>shield wall>td>cauterize>last stand and pray>td and so on?
Other than rotating CDs and dstance
I'm inclined to bring defenders aegis just for crawth
bsv vs enduring alacrity, do you think 5% armor would be more useful than bsv handling 1 peck alone?
how good is the ring of the first boss with the fire trait as prot warri? i just got it with 408
Bleed goes through armor
yeah thats true
didn’t feel that bad at 20
With crafted belt
if you get unstable frostfire belt to proc it, it's free damage
i find its rly great in double/triple pulls so u dont have to spend forever grabbing aggro
that is exactly what makes it the best tank stat tho
think the scariest part was when it’s a 3/4 stack screech into the peck, and that’s when I used wall or IP spammed
it applies to everything
Vers is a trap
did you take any niche talents or was normal rotation+cds enough?
that is what nobody from high keys will tell you
and what are your stats? i think i might have quite low versa
Where my haste crit gang bois
i did +21 rlp yesterday, it felt like hell at bosses

and bleeds are what is destroying us the most right now
it is most popular among best players for a reason
it was my first time doing it since the hot fix so I played safe and took double shield wall + burgeoning pod trinket. I didn’t CD the first two pecks. But then I did Wall,Last Stand ,Wall ,Seed + Demo and then called for a defensive
with the frostfire belt and a couple trinkets
While it's situational, cobalt tank ring might offset a bit of dmg taken
cobalt ring always like my 3rd highest healing, kinda goated
Funny how that rings absorbs more than notgud scale
The damage one also does a truck load
cuz it has twice the proc rate
notgud scale is 1ppm
ring is 2ppm
i see
Anyone got a m+ only debuff tracker? Can't really find anything that only show debuffs on myself
it sounds manageable since i will have an evoker healer as well
i'll definitely try to get more versa tho
Ive also got the trinked from the first boss. So I would have two sources of fire dmg. Does the proc deal good dmg?
on average dmg taken on that boss increased by 33% for us
I mean its free so every dmg it deals is good
my stats right now
the ring does ~600-900dps for us if you have the belt
ya I played with a resto druid and it felt fine, vexamus is still the harder boss imo
my stats are pretty similar, and ofc I took verse in that key
do yall find yourself running sidearm or barbarian training? i like the extra revenge dmg but it makes it harder to keep tier effect up every 4s
sidearm at all times
^
barbaric training will leave you rage starved
cool cool
almost would never reccomend barbaric training
BT is literally anti-synergistic with prot
it was a 21, but we wiped a full time on vex and lost a dps with no brez half way through on the second time so we mistimed it by a minute or two. but we one shot birdy, tree, and dragon
will lower your tierset uptime, will lower your rage gen and will leave you rage starved
its not even good as a dps increase cuz its too much rage for too little increase
technically it is a tiny dps increase, but a very inefficient one
Are we haste > mastery now or haste > verse, I see a lot of high IO warriors stacking mastery second
thank you! switching my talents around now haha
do they stack it or does their highest ilvl just have mastery on it.
and also, do they stack it for prot or are they dps main in raid and just have mastery gear for fury
😉
Yoyo, i have my trinkets. Which one whould you guys runs ?
All Totem of the Master 395
Decoration of Flame 405
Granyth Enduring Scale 395
murlokio still says mastery is the lowest stat among top prot wars
all totem + flame
na no one fromt he discord just randos
You are probably right though, could be fury mains
is that without "into the fray"?
probably with HR
that's an insane amount of haste lmao
ITF he would either be in the 30s or like insanely low haste without it proccing lol
my haste is dog shit =/
happens
im 405 and without ITF im at like 16%
ya im at like 387 with 23% haste, and all my stats are pretty well balanced except im really crit heavy
i have 1k more crit rating than i have haste rating =/
happens
just luck of drops
actually i lied not really balanced, vers and haste are close and crit is farther ahead with almost no mastery
i have waaay more verse then i want but ilvl > all
right
i hit fuckin HARD tho
🤣
i need defensive trinkets
been pushing with just full dps trinkets so far but it's def a noticeable problem now
well their isn't any
i'd settle for flame trinket off first boss of raid
so keep pumping that whetstone/grieftorch
that thing's...pretty good lol
faster things die, less times you need to survive mechs
yeah im literally tryin to do 20 rlp with whetstone/grieftorch or like one of those and boon on fort weeks

just get grieftorch, hit your melee with cleaves in HOV with cleaves, guzzle and repeat
😤
i do that any time they got something clever to say
the 2 mdps i play with both have torch
standing in hew
link meters when they complain
all the fucking time
they beg me to kill people in keys so it resets
while i just backpeddle out of it
our other tank decided to take mythic trinket off eranog when he already had heroic
spam pressing backpeddle key dodging every breach/claw, we are kind of mechanical gods
so im out here just doin dps instead lol
that trinket is better for dps than for survival anyway
the shield is better than no shield i'd think?
i have a nokhud thing but that feels kinda shit
and when i get real desperate i use the tanking cobalt ring
which is....surprisingly kinda okay?
THIS
its a 80-100k absorb on a 2min CD
ppl that hold it are dumb
its a dps trinket with a tiny absorb
its does like 1.5k dps
the shield honestly just blows up so quick in a large pack
its not a tank trinket
random shields is kinda sad
what are our best options for just tryin to fuckin live? lol
whetstone so things die faster
ill never use it, but i have it
ok then im done
your best trinkets are dps trinkets
i have like every dps trinket in the game
also grieftorch
there are no good "tank" trinkets
icon is good if dps/healer have one
im lookin for the new blood spattered scale
its cracked if they both have it
idk
blood splattered scale wasnt even good
and now you only have worse options
so like, just dont bother with "tank" trinkets
stat sticks ftw
fair
nah on use trinkets it is this patch
and that is sadge
whetstone, boon, grieftorch
no one likes double on use
im perma running double on use
i mean i have grieftorch, whetstone, boon, and puzzle box
ya then youre golden
so it's just been some mix and match of that
i wish i had 2 trinkets that were good
just run grieftorch + whetstone, and boon in big pad dungeons

👀 trinket god tf
like AA and notgud
I have 421 Incarnate - what should I be aiming for to go with that?
yeah my raid disqualified me from getting anything
the 3 i just named
b/c i got m+ trinkets <.<
incarnate is only good for raid
rubbish in m+ unless you have DPS and Healer with it aswell
how about totem?
totem is also really really good
totem?
outside of like azure vault
oh the counter one?
ye
I been using 408 totem over 398 grieftorch, not sure if right call
oh yeah i saw people using it but never got one to test
totem is bad on bosses but really good in aoe
i tried rumbling ruby and...it's kinda shit
idk what the hype around it is all about
ruby is solid af
yeah i dont se it
not amazing but solid for aoe
it takes like 2 minutes to build enough stacks
at which point i'd rather just hit whetstone
do you guys use uproar in raid? I feel like it ends up desyncing roar from being up ever other avatar + demo without necessarily lining up with every avatar + demo
yeah fair
Off topic but does anyone whose good at PC building want to tell me if what I picked out is good? And not just tell me to build my own lol
i just use both upgrades to roar b/c idk any better
Do you guys know if I'm fury but have prot spec selected can I roll main spec on prot gear in raid? Like eranog trinket
yes
Ok cool
if you set lootspec to whatever you want to loot as, you can roll on that stuff
Any prot warr addons that would be helpful for like keys and raid
track SB/IP and you’re good p much
i'm using the Nao dungeon packs stuff
big fan of the luxthos ip tracker
shit is pretty good
it's a lot of stuff tho
i just like hearing it yell "BLAM" whenever someone uses an external on me
Sorry I'm pretty dumb, what does an IP tracker do? I thought IP was internet protocol and not a wow thingy
depends on the key
depends on key and gear
I saw prots doing 40k
i hover around 50-60k in my keys
nok numbers are significantly higher than not nok lol
ignore pain
I have 402 ilvl and average between 30 - 60 depending on the key
Thats pretty good
Even in things like COS, AV, RLP?
nah you wont hit 50-60k in those probably
Is there a way to unserstand a good prot war and bad one
unless you're like
in cos my dmg was like 53k
suicidal pulling
In first look
Does anyone have advice on how to do flameheart in Temple ? I can't survive the jade serpent strike. even with shield wall up and a half filled IP I get dropped to 80% on the initial hit, then killed by the dot
oh cos maybe
Damn how you juice so high lol
i press shield slam very gud
hello all, I have a question, when tanking Flameheart in TJS, I get almost 1 shot from Jade Serpent Strike while using reflect. any suggestions?
you roll the dice on your healer
and hope they know what they're doing
help your healer by using health pots, impending and then pray for god
if they'r ehealing your party at that time you're dead
IV every other and make sure your healer is actually trying to heal through the absorb
Chad healer=chad tank= better dps gameplay
someone gave me like an actual rotation that helped
take the double shield wall talent, and leverage spell reflects 20% magic dr and spell block
spell reflect + IV for first and 3rd
some mix of wall/rally/healer cd for 2nd and 4th
and like healthpots/lockrocks
AV is like...
Or extra 5 minute
not really that bad i dont feel
idk
i get it's notoriously one of the worst
but if we get a nerf
Its legit impossible to time 20 key imo
av and HoV timer is pretty tight ngl
bro im like double/tripling every pull on av to barely time
just fucking rlp is unbearable
Rlp isn't that bad
Long boss fights
RLP is not tight at all
I've only done 17s tho
AV is tight yes
av is bad on timer, rlp is just try not to wipe!!!
Hov and av worse
av is like
I did +20 av
no real risk of dying?
I feel like RLP is just whether your healer can handle group damage or not
i dont feel like anything hurts me as the tank
and most damage is avoidable
for the dps/healer
Yeah sure
you dont really need to pull big on RLP
Telash
you can taken your time
so like you pull aggressive
Oneshots
Telash oneshots
the tank?
Dps
im getting owned by searing blows on rlp tho
with the frost bomb?
Its oneshot
every boss hurts me in rlp this week
The skill inside shield
so bring the parry game up, an evoker and/or be dwarf and play double wall for it
Frost stuff
I didnt got oneshot but i saw healers got oneshot
that's on the list for later
in 21 rlp the dot + winds overlap can and will probably just one shot a dps sometimes lol
i mean
Like y'all you gotta press your buttons
have defensives is pretty loose meaning
Dps are gonna die if they dont
when you bring hunters and shamans
Hunters have defensives
Bro
3 of them
I played havoc on that run
Blur is one of the strongest defensives
And i went from max HP to 30k
"dps getting oneshot by unavoidable mechanic" is 100% of the time a byproduct of improper play
^
Not in av
im also kind of this belief
but i havent played dps in a while
so i cant say
i also only played rogue dps so like...
how die?
Not in high keys When your gear not giga high
ok i mean
Unless they're severely undergeared there's no unavoidable mech that will oneshot. If you're getting oneshot either you didn't press defensives or you didn't do mechanics correctly
you should be properly geared for the appropriate keys
There's nothing in a 20 that will oneshot you at 395 let alone 400+
I went from 300k to 30k
we're running the 20 vault later tonight
Blur on
so i'll see what happens to our guys i guess
300k to 30k
from what
i dont feel like being in the shield hits you that hard
something about this just feels off
If you went from 300k to 30k you weren't in th shield
from what did you go 300k to 30k
Telash
What mechanic dude
I literally did it a few hours ago on a 19 and no one went to 10% health ever
im watching a vid of tattman's group doing 20 av on tyran
everyone gets topped in bubble
hit goes out
drops everyone to 25-30
so if you're down to like 20k hp or some shit
something else is going on there
ya that one isn’t so bad
like you probably are seeing people drop that low
but that single boss ability is probably not the cause
The only oneshot mech I've seen so far is nokhud with the static spear oneshotting but that's a double hit and I'm 99% it's a bug
From the last boss
i havent seen that one yet
i leap halfway through the pull
not tryna be part of that at all
Sometimes the spear goes out and the target gets hot twice
in 20 nok it one shot our monk that didn’t have karma up lol
Do you guys switch stances a lot inside a high key?
Like it literally just does damage twice
I do, generally will use d stance like a cooldown
Well, the shield is 50% reduction. On 20 tyrannical, it's 531,102 unmitigated. So shield would mitigate it to 265,551. So you shouldn't even drop from 300 to 30k if you did nothing.
On fort weeks in 19ish+ if I'm tanking certain places I will stay in d stance
You can, but I’d generally just use it for large hits
when i'm pretty sure i'll die without it, i'll turn d stance on for whatever i think will kill me. otherwise i'm in battlestance
I'm guessing you were not topped
Av 18+ trash before second boss on fort I stay in d stance
If one of those piercing shits gets off papa no likey
just stun them lol
if you stun them
you can fear them
i pull first room of av with crystal bros with b stanc
if DR is up
it's pretty w/e
even if it’s just you, you have shockwave stormbolt and shout
intimidating
oh
Fear breaks it
