Ouch

sick sentinel
#

i did a 10 NO last night

#

no idea if i saved details or not

#

we +2'd it anways

edgy spear
#

also had an outrageous amount of revenge casts compared to slams

#

talking 3:1 or more ratio

sick sentinel
#

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

raven fjord
#

Thing is i got a 402 shield 😛 And will guaranteed get the shield from M eranog when we kill him

slim dove
#

there's no guarantee it'll ever drop.

#

you get another spark next week, just make a 418 primal molten

weak imp
#

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

toxic pewter
#

healer in my group just said 3rd boss temple of jade serpent is free

#

do you guys consider that boss free

blazing condor
#

no

#

and i wouldnt trust a healer who says so either tbh

tawny meteor
#

As a warrior the 2nd phes is a ass

toxic pewter
#

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

blazing condor
#

healer needs to at least understand that it can really fuck tanks over

toxic pewter
#

and they like that boss is free lust 2nd and final boss

#

really weird imo

grim nymph
#

Does spell block work on Azureblade?

toxic pewter
#

how does Temple 2nd boss 'feeling of superiority' (dam and healing buff) target players? what determines who gets targeted?

use thundering affix to move

#

it doesnt cleanse the debuff but you cant be slowed during it

toxic pewter
#

the perma food buff extender thing they added is my favorite and doesnt even use an embelishment slot

Is there any Elemental Lariat crafters here on Kazzak?

sick sentinel

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?

sick sentinel
#

im gunna check beside great vault

warm plinth
sturdy sable
#

If you use all that extra room

warm plinth
slender blade
#

its a panda

warm plinth
#

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)

sick sentinel
#

u tellin me there is portals to the old dungeons?

#

god dmanit

warm plinth
#

...

sick sentinel
#

where they at lol

warm plinth
#

#

you good?

sick sentinel
#

legit i didnt know there is portals too them

#

and none of my guild knows apparently

warm plinth
#

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

#

were you going by foot to wod and legion

#

#

#

that way you can guide the meatball

Or behind the boss

And just point the bosses bum somewhere convenient

Non tank - i didn’t realise that

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 ?

oblique kayak
oak echo
steep condor
warm plinth
#

Yes

toxic pewter
#

do you guys generally run lower haste gems or wat

oak echo
#

It procs off gem element which is determined by the lower Stat yeah

warm plinth
#

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.

steep condor
#

Ahhh sheet I’ve got the wrong gems

#

If I play both fury and prot should I get big crit small haste gems?

deep plume
#

Hi, is icy-vains still the best talent build ?

warm plinth
#

The one in the pins is the one I use

weary python
#

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

sweet summit
#

it's a QoL thing

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

steep condor
oak echo
#

It's a throughout thing if you don't refresh your food buff every time you die

warm plinth
#

It's free. It's QoL. And it's not just for rings.

uncut zephyr
#

It's a nice bonus, feels weird to not get food buff when healer is drinking though

oak echo
#

Which most people don't do

warm plinth
#

And in keys, if you die, generally you don't want to take 10 seconds to reapply food

toxic pewter
#

its the best thing they added to wow in years

weary python
#

Prot warriors never die

oak echo
#

I'm probably buying it if I don't get it from the soup today.

toxic pewter
#

major buff to panda too

warm plinth
#

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)

steep condor
#

But it used up one of your two embellishments no?

oak echo
#

No

#

It's extra

toxic pewter
#

thats what makes it amazing

#

😄

steep condor
#

I’m getting that for sure

toxic pewter
#

once you have you you can never go back

tired pivot
#

it's price jumped up drastically recently

#

I got it for 4k 2 weeks ago

steep condor
#

Can you tell me what ring you get made to put it on?

weary python
#

Signet of titanic insight

toxic pewter
#

can go on any crafted item that accepts embellishments

steep condor
#

Thanks

weary python
#

It can go on any item tho

toxic pewter
#

i put mine on my sword believe it or not

tired pivot
#

don't craft rings

mine is on my shield

#

it can go anywhere

steep condor
#

Nice

toxic pewter
#

may not be ideal to put on sword/shield if you play arms or fury but I dont so all good

tired pivot
#

yeah, only downside to those 2 things is they are prot only

ripe ore
#

how does haste affect shield block uptime?

oak echo
#

Lowers the sb cd

tired pivot
#

it lets you use shield bash more often

uncut zephyr
#

More shield slams for heavy repurcions + lower cooldown on block

ripe ore
#

does it cap out at 13 though?

tired pivot
#

13?

ripe ore
#

13s on the cd

uncut zephyr
#

no, you can check p easily by changing to ITF on the target dummies

ripe ore
#

f.e tooltip didnt change when taking 5% buff in algethar academy

tired pivot
#

what it does is let you cast shield slam more often

#

that is the main benefit to shield block uptime

#

with haste

ripe ore
#

cheers, was just trying to figure out how to have high uptime with ITF

broken light
#

is spell block good for soaking razageth beam?

tough ocean
#

just shield wall it

slim dove
#

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

broken light
#

okay thanks, never used spell block so i dont know how it works

slim dove
#

uhh

#

idk actually

tough ocean
#

isn't it nature damage?

slim dove
#

spell reflect ofc youd use it

broken light
#

yeah i use reflect but just thought about if the block works too

#

to further mitigate the beam damage p3

slim dove
#

its thunderous blast right?

broken light
#

i think so yes

slim dove
#

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.

warm plinth
# ripe ore how does haste affect shield block uptime?

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.

fossil gust
#

You need to use shield block + spell block together? Or it's only needed to use spell block?

warm plinth
#

Both

shrewd holly
#

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?

slim dove
#

both together.

warm plinth
#

You should always have Shield Block active regardless because it increases Shield Slam damage.

fossil gust
#

Cool 🙂

warm plinth
shrewd holly
gleaming pawn
#

If we have 4pc, do we press ignore pain? or just spend rage on revenge?

warm plinth
#

You always have to press Ignore Pain for rage management

#

Revenge by itself won't prevent you from overcapping

gleaming pawn
#

ok

steep condor
#

So what should I put this food embellishment on if I play both prot and fury?

It would be better defensively

Because there are quite a few better trinkets

assuming ive already used a spark on it, is it worth upgrading etc

mortal topaz

understood, so what would you get crafted? @warm plinth

warm plinth

Yeah if you have max lariat and don't raid...do you have a high ilevel shield already?

anyone know how the raid skip works this tier?

is it just eranog, diurna, and raz?

weary python

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?

you can get it from gathering too

toxic gyro

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

toxic gyro
#

Makes the fight way easier

uncut zephyr

if it's a personal order I think you can ask the crafter to use their mettle too

fading tide
toxic gyro
#

3-4 yes, it does more dmg after each screech

urban bane
#

I think 4 stacks is good enough for 90sec CDs sent at start

toxic gyro
#

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

sick sentinel
#

i do 3 stacks and stun during the cast of 4th screech

toxic gyro
#

My group did defensives on 4th and stun before 5th

last mason
#

is 35% fine for 418 proc or should i look for higher

As I said all depends on group and key level

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?

Ok I always thought in the past we wouldn’t run it till we got to a certain haste point

toxic gyro
#

Think it was ~35% haste when you swap to itf

strong forum
#

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

grizzled forge
#

Oh gotcha so just keep running heavy rep? I’m at like base 25% haste I believe not home so can’t look atm

ya i'd personally not play ITF in keys

only in raid

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 ?

tired pivot
#

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

Utilize your vic rush

so i take 2 180k hits within 0.1s of each other

But in all honesty at some point its on the healer

idk if it's even worth revenging for 2pc

Yeah you should still be casting revenge

last mason

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

Itle just cost you slightly more mats

#

To craft a 405 first

# solar sandal i am getting absolutely fucking annihilated

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 did it on 21 this week and it was honestly scary as hell, not sure what to do on higher keys.

vale vessel
#

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

stiff gate
#

It adds, up to a cap.

raven zealot
#

i assume i need a certain amount of haste to keep shield block 100% uptime without using heavy repercussions?

stiff gate
#

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.

Give your healer feeling of superiority

i thought we give that to them later on

isnt the dot like crazy from it?

im like fully in defensive stance for these 20+ rlps

cinder storm
#

I was looking at hp not go up for like 4-5 s after jade strike, I'm inclined to agree

frosty mango
#

Rlp is basically free other than that boss

solar sandal
#

i need every bit of mitigation i can fuckin get in there

languid light
sweet summit
tired pivot
#

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

cinder storm
#

All three bosses are hard if even one person misplays in rlp

frosty mango
languid light
#

Ty

tired pivot
#

rlp is as cursed as AV on tyrannical

cinder storm
#

My disc has no tier so that could be a big difference too

tired pivot
#

the two dungeons that I can only complete with at least 3 premades

cinder storm
#

I rotated IV, shield, pots, nada

frosty mango
#

Disc has a high skill floor

tired pivot
#

my disc is one of the best in the world

median tulip
#

RLP has the usual thing for a 3 boss dungeon on Tyr

frosty mango
#

Most discs will be garbage but when you find a good one they're basically little heal gods

tired pivot
#

they are not very popular so it is not the hardest thing to achieve

cinder storm
#

There's like 150 discs so yeah, not to hard to be the best one

median tulip
#

3 boss dungeon = base harder bosses = nightmare on Tyr

tired pivot
#

but man, disc really has some nasty damage with their good hps

#

the upcoming buffs will actually make them cracked

frosty mango
#

Honestly the changes to smbg dot zone damage is hilarious

median tulip
#

I tried to play Disc on my Priest, and I just cannot get my head around it

frosty mango
#

So many people dying now

earnest nymph
median tulip
#

So I have pretty high respect for anyone who is good at it

earnest nymph
#

the dot is a one shot to dps now

frosty mango
#

I failed a 19 smbg earlier going into the last boss with 13 minutes

tired pivot
#

he tried to explain some stuff to me and it was so much that I just told him to stop

#

it is crazy

cinder storm
#

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

frosty mango
#

Disc can be extremely good

median tulip
#

Disc is definitely healing on hard mode

tired pivot
#

disc is very good right now

#

it is honestly very underrated

frosty mango
#

Especially at high keys with their damage output and preemptive shielding stack but the person playing it has to be good

median tulip
#

Also if someone else in the party fucks up it's much harder for Disc to recover, AFAICT

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

toxic pewter
#

really not liking the following bosses:

Kokia
Hyrja
Crawth

frosty mango
#

Why hyrja?

#

She has zero tank mechanics lol

median tulip
#

Hyrja is not hard

toxic pewter
#

something always seems to go wrong

cinder storm
#

Crawth is worse than hyrja

earnest nymph
#

I can't stand the worm boss

toxic pewter
#

but I agree hyrja is easiest on that list

tired pivot
#

hyrja is really not that bad when you get her down yeah

earnest nymph
#

it's not hard

#

just boring AF

median tulip
frosty mango
#

For hyrja just do 2x light phases first

#

Ez game

toxic pewter
#

wait

#

you mean keep her on light side twice

tired pivot
#

I always laugh when someone shows me a clip of me getting yeeted across the room

frosty mango
#

Lightning side

#

Yes

cinder storm
#

Unless you have three melees who don't avoid sanctify

toxic pewter
#

oh lightning right

median tulip
#

Light side is a joke; nobody should take any damage from it

toxic pewter
#

yet someone always does

frosty mango
#

I always have some melee tell me they're a galaxy brain and they can dps during sanctify

#

They almost always die

cinder storm
#

You can

frosty mango
#

When I play it as fury I never die, it's the same pattern over and over

median tulip
#

You can DPS during it; her hit box is MASSIVE

toxic pewter
#

Crawth is actually no joke

#

it keeps bugging out also

#

crawth puts out a shitload of damage

cinder storm
#

Crawth trucks

#

Ez mode with evoker

median tulip
#

Crawth is nasty on higher keys, sure

cinder storm
#

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

Versa and prim stat

Still if it's an ilvl upgrade and the versa ain't bad i suppose?

Why is people playing Titanic Throw over Fear? Feels like Fear talent u can get value out of in every dung

void marten

did anyone do algethar at 20 or higher after the hotfix?

#

how are you handling savage peck

brisk gust
#

While Titanic feels pretty useless

sturdy sable

Especially trinkets. Not many are worth using for its defensive capabilities rn

warm plinth

And honestly if the eggnog trinket dropped later in the raid i doubt ppl would use it

cinder storm

Other than rotating CDs and dstance

#

I'm inclined to bring defenders aegis just for crawth

void marten
#

bsv vs enduring alacrity, do you think 5% armor would be more useful than bsv handling 1 peck alone?

rotund dew

how good is the ring of the first boss with the fire trait as prot warri? i just got it with 408

that is what nobody from high keys will tell you

Oh yes the ole .1% of players do it so it must be correct argument

Im done here

i did +21 rlp yesterday, it felt like hell at bosses

I can give you the best argument for why it is BiS tank stat

it applies to bleeds

While it's situational, cobalt tank ring might offset a bit of dmg taken

Funny how that rings absorbs more than notgud scale

Anyone got a m+ only debuff tracker? Can't really find anything that only show debuffs on myself

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

strong forum

will lower your tierset uptime, will lower your rage gen and will leave you rage starved

foggy ruin

its not even good as a dps increase cuz its too much rage for too little increase

strong forum

technically it is a tiny dps increase, but a very inefficient one

lament zealot

Are we haste > mastery now or haste > verse, I see a lot of high IO warriors stacking mastery second

wanton jewel
#

thank you! switching my talents around now haha

strong forum
#

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

I've seem them gemming for haste mastery

slim dove

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

Not in high keys When your gear not giga high

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

402 for 20

Should be enough

yeah that's true

There's nothing in a 20 that will oneshot you at 395 let alone 400+
