And I'm not overcapping

strong forum
#

In real scenarios, revenge won't keep up IP

warm plinth
#

Even if it does, you would rather overcap IP than rage

dull zodiac
#

How many IPs stack? 2x applications?

#

I need a tracker

warm plinth
#

Caps at 30% max HP

dull zodiac
#

Oh cool

strong forum
#

In the purely hypothetical scenario that you have enough targets to spam revenge + thunderclap + ignore pain

warm plinth
#

You really don't need a tracker

strong forum
#

Then yes, you can stop using shield slam

strong forum
#

At that point you have well over 15 targets

#

Which is outrageously large

dull zodiac
#

And at how many targets is revenge better spender than execute

strong forum
#

2

dull zodiac
#

Cool

strong forum
#

I mean 3 sorry

#

On 3 targets its 100% better to press revenge

#

On 2 targets its even

dull zodiac
#

So u guys don't recommend tracking my IP? As u will be spending ur rage on it constantly to feed Anger management and outburst

strong forum
#

I wouldn't hard focus on it

#

It's beneficial to track

Thanks guys

strong forum
#

I have reduced it to text form

dull zodiac
#

Appreciate all of it!

#

Have an awesome evening

strong forum
#

Mine only tracks the absorb amount

#

Cuz timer is useless

dull zodiac
#

Perfect

strong forum
#

But I hardly pay attention to it

#

But it's good to know if you have a max IP for a tankbuster banked up

dull zodiac
#

Just one more question

strong forum
#

And in heavy dmg situations it's also good to know if it's fallen off or not

#

The jade serpent when she phases she kinda hits like a truck with the tank breaker

#

Is it fully magic dmg?

strong forum
#

Yes

#

That boss is 99% magic

#

Jade phase is 100% magic

zinc spruce
#

whats the jade phase?

dull zodiac
#

Do u bother keeping up shield block?

strong forum
#

70->30%

#

Is her jade phase

mortal brook
#

70% when she makes the lines and does the absorb to 30% when THE DRAGON WILL BE YOUR DOOM

strong forum
#

Yes, SB is cheap

dull zodiac
#

Okay 🙂

strong forum
#

And increased SS dmg by 30%

dull zodiac
#

Oh right

strong forum
#

Mucho importanto for damgur

lunar minnow
#

so is this ruby whelp shell any good? keep hearing about it

strong forum
#

It's better than initially proclaimed

dull zodiac
#

I'm constantly in battle stance is there a key level or a place I'm gonna regret it?

strong forum
#

And if trained to 6 fireshot can do very respectable dmg

tame jasper
#

the jade strike is one thing, the random spawning flames is the other. sometimes they spawn all on top of each other, sometimes they fill every space of the circle -_-

strong forum
#

It's a 3sec CD off-gcd

#

Swap as you deem fit, but aim to be in b-stance as much as possible

#

It's a 14% dps loss to be in d-stance

dull zodiac
#

Nice kinda been doing that id only go d stance for short moments when I'm dropping hard

strong forum
#

Yup

dull zodiac
#

I fell in love with this spec, I've tanked on prot pally blood, druid alot

#

But this feels like real tanking

#

The OG tanking experience:p

strong forum
#

Ya pwar has gotten alot easier from SL to DF

#

So it's become alot more popular with people again

anyone want to look at a wowlog and tell me what i did good and bad at?

would anyone mind*

Nom I got r2 on heroic raz tonight but I was accidentally in dstance for 46% of the time.
How do I look at myself in the mirror now?

Okay so right off the bad your casts per minute (cpm) is very low

i'm doing such shit DPS.. not sure what i should be donig differently in M+

west bronze

mainly talking ST.

strong forum
#

This is yours

#

This is mine from NO 21

#

You can instantly see the difference in shield slam and ignore pain casts

#

To help you visualise it a bit

dusk sky
#

mhm

#

ur avatars are double mine as well

mortal brook
#

thats rage feedback loop symptom from the more shield slams

strong forum
#

You're not overcapping alot of rage which is alright, only 3% but should be closer to <1%

stable valve
strong forum
#

You've only blocked 83% of melee Hits, could be better

stable valve
#

Nom, any early thoughts on the ruby welp shell? I have a 398 I have sitting in my bags atm

#

Started training it for ST today

strong forum
#

Has the potential to be one of the best offensive trinkets

Prot is Just smashing buttons. Many of them. Do you guys macro Stuff together like fury can do all cds im 1 button?

strong forum
#

No don't macro buttons together

stable valve
strong forum
#

For the buffs we still need to evaluate its worth

#

But so far it seems its 16% uptime once fully trained

stable valve
#

Wonder if the proc is hasted or a flat rate

strong forum
#

16% uptime on almost 30% haste is not terrible

stable valve
stable valve
strong forum
#

First initial draft would suggest that fireshot is the go-to for St damage

#

And for aoe padding it's stat proc

strong forum
#

Cuz Lust is multiplicative

#

So get 39% haste out of 30%

stable valve
#

Figure I’ll train as ST for now for raid and rough tyr dungeons
Have decoration of flame, boon, and rumbling ruby for AoE atm

strong forum
#

It's the most consistent

#

It can't proc at inopportune times when it's just a dmg proc

#

If you get the stat proc at the end of a pack it kinda sucks

stable valve
#

Plus coming from S4 SLs I’m itching for some better ST damage

strong forum
#

Prio dmg is always important

stable valve
#

I miss execute :’(

strong forum
#

Execute is better than it was on mid beta, just not turbo cracked like in SL

ionic fern
#

Uuuh, don't get me started. We got a 22 TJS for tonight.

im currently using the trampling hooves trinket and it seems alright

Still sad but slightly less so

Higher is always better

dusk sky

i think when i get more used to it i can get up to about there

strong forum
#

But you're doing things already very correct if you're around that

vague bane
#

how do warriors generate rage? does haste help generate more?

strong forum
#

Shield slam, Thunderclap, bloodsurge, CDs, auto attack, getting melee'd

#

Haste very much helps with rage generation

#

Your primary source of rage income is from shield slam

#

Which has a hasted CD, and can get reset by auto attacks (devastator) and pressing revenge, Thunderclap or execute

#

So more buttons = more buttons

unique shale
#

is it worth to get Defender's Aegis talent ?

#

or its bad play

strong forum
#

Dungeon dependant, but yes

#

Can prove useful if you use it decently frequently

#

Otherwise if you don't use it often, Impenetrable Wall is better because it Increases rage generation a good bit

#

Basically the use-case of Defenders Aegis is, if you need shield wall quickly back to back in a shorter window than 60 seconds

#

If the window is larger than 60seconds, where you need shield wall, Impenetrable wall is better

zinc spruce

how do i upload my logs for a Dungeon for example to see spells used etc overall

is it worth taking booming voice over show of force?

Tough to say

That's a sim question

But uh

#

Why don't you have both?

Cuz 99.9% of builds have both

Do i even dare to see it?

Me on dathea

ionic fern
#

We haven't gotten to dathea yet and i haven't done my homework. 😦

strong forum
#

Sudden death is more dmg than booming voice in raid ( I think)

#

And I pick disruptive shout for adds

#

So I drop booming voice instead of battering ram

ionic fern
strong forum
#

Cuz battering ram is definitely a must pick

ionic fern
#

Just get a DK.

#

And a paladin.

Too much effort

We luckily have one.
But we usually forget to send the DK up.

#

why do alot of tanks run into the fray ? isnt the closer to 100% uptime on shield block the goal?

quaint folio
#

Would someone be able to let me know how to review my logs and see what I'm doing wrong? I don't really know what to look beyond IP uptime, shield block uptime and looking at TC and slam casts . I watched the jakeyplops video but it's a year old and refers to older talents and older dungeons.

This is a log of me during poorly in a M+ key, but I feel is pretty representative of most of my keys. My healer (evoker) says that when he heals other prot warriors he never has to heal them at all, even during tank busters, whereas he needs to keep an eye out for me all the time

Meanwhile HR+ED and you're casually sitting at 90%+ blocked hits.

M+ logs are kinda wonky in the sense that you can't compare properly due to every run being different.

Taking too much dmg

#

Sitting in battle stance not hitting ignore pain

strong forum
#

You should look into your rotation a bit more, slap the dummy maybe to get more muscle memory and actively look at using shield slam on cooldown more

strong forum
#

Only doing ~22k dps in HoV 389 ilvl is definitely off

#

So maybe actively look at your buttons more

onyx vessel
#

Solution for me was quit that shitty guild and move to another and dps it

quaint folio
strong forum
#

Are you tracking seeing red and outburst?

#

Cuz min-maxing that also plays a big role

#

But yeah, like I said

#

Slap the dummy, get more practice until you don't really have to think about your buttons presses

onyx vessel

Well you arent me who does like 15% revenge dmg in keys

Wait 15 is low i ment 25%

What's your comp been for 5 tank keys, by the way? One person I play with was asking

weary python

Alacritous alchemist stone seems like it could be good, but I don't see how it competes with Grieftorch, whetstone or even the whelp shell potentially.

#

How much haste is too much haste? When is the diminishing return starts to kick in? If I use Hoof trinket I get 5,106 haste, which seems abit high regarding possible diminishing return

sand pebble
#

30% isnt it?

ocean finch
#

33%

mighty valley
#

starts at 30% but barely, slightly worse at 40%, 50%, 60%

#

it's really not a big deal til later in the expansion when you're sitting over 40% unbuffed

ocean finch
#

Or I'm just lazy and still use Idol and whetstone, I cba with 2 on-use trinkets...

sand pebble
#

I dropped haste for ilvl im at 20% feels fine

broken light
#

does anyone have an idea as to why markers on my head keep on disappearing during the dungeon? its driving me insane it doesnt happen to the other tank during the raid either, it only happens to me. i keep on remarking myself during razageth fight

ocean finch
#

Yea with my best gear I have 30% haste, but would like abit more crit

mighty valley
#

raid mods like DBM or something are likely using the target markers automatically

ocean finch
#

sitting with 19% crit and 16% vers

mighty valley
#

either turn that feature off or find a mark that the mod isn't using

broken light
#

i mean it didnt use to happen i could go the whole dungeon with skull on my head

sand pebble
#

7% vets 27% crit

broken light
#

and i think skull isnt being used

ocean finch
sand pebble
#

17% leech

Now when I've reflected, I should have crafted crit/haste ring and cloak instead of haste/vers

ocean finch

Im crit haste on all crafted as i multi spec

But hey, I still manage to put out good damaage and are tanky

So I guess thats a future problem

I can tank the guild carry keys and i backup raid tank i dont feel any issue with low vers

lilac jay
#

Morning Lads - i have 2 Questions:

The 4-piece practically functions like 5% Leech while the 2-piece is active, but unlike Leech, which has no value when you are at full health, pouring extra absorb value into Ignore Pain is basically always good while actively tanking. Compared to Brutal Vitality, it is a much weaker effect – but Brutal Vitality requires an active Ignore Pain to pour more absorb value into. The 4-piece creates Ignore Pain, which then synergizes beautifully with Brutal Vitality. Together, they sort of give Protection Warrior 40% Leech. There are two mechanics that can cause gaps in uptime (letting the 2-piece fall off & Ignore Pain being consumed) that keep this interaction relatively well-balanced, but the design on paper is very appealing.

Is the bold statement true?

And:
What to do in Execute Phase? Let Buff drop off and execute as much as possible or any other playstyle?

ocean finch
#

You play ITF and Bolster in keys then?

sand pebble
#

Me? Nope

mighty valley
#

the first part is true, yes

ocean finch
mighty valley
#

the second part... i don't know, it's very close. i loosely try and keep the buff up, especially if the boss hurts

sand pebble
#

Im lazy and like sb extenstion lol

mighty valley
#

and obviously any adds at all mean you're using revenge anyway

eager phoenix
#

bolster + itf or no bolster+hr is usually the recommended approach

lilac jay
#

Okay thank you. thats what i thought too!

ionic fern
#

Ignoring the 2p during Execute phase is a small DPS increase.

sand pebble
mighty valley

why about if barb training more like

Because revenge is a lower dpr than execute and barb makes that worse

I honestly can't even remember where you land. The 3 mob packs can be skipped by just hugging the inner circle. Patrol can be skipped by waiting for it to walk away.
The 2 mob packs might not be skippable.

You can just leap down from the above platform in a way that you land where the next teleporter is tho.

If your classes allow it.

Str plays a role in survivability does it not?

ionic fern

Yes.

But there are very rarely any good tank trinkets and the effects on trinkets (be it offensive or defensive) outweigh the stats in most cases.

If you’re egg tanking diurna, do you sit dstance? The damage feel really rough, not sure if it’s a me issue or not. Saw sense and jakey pov video and they were sitting dstance most of the fight

On Mythic? Only if you need.

Question - In Azure Vault, the crackling vortexes move towards anything that generates healing threat, but they're always coming to me. Is that because of our ability to self heal / leech? On the final boss, btw

ionic fern
#

What makes it spicy is the Mortal Stoneclaws (which is supposed to be a tank swap mechanic) leaving the 65% healing reduction + a Nature DoT on you.

#

So it feels like you're getting wrecked.

I found it easier to just nuke them with DPS'ers tho-.

This is just the first raid fight that makes me feel mortal lmao

#

Every other boss in heroic has basically tickled me

limpid anchor
#

Idk brood doesn’t do dmg either

#

But you need attention from healers

ionic fern
#

They also do a cast which increases the Piercing Shards damage by 30% before actually casting Piercing Shards.

whole vortex
#

I need to turn off screen edge flashing red when low on HP, it just causes panic lol

ionic fern
#

Otherwise you just Shockwave/Storm Bolt / Shield Charge/ Intim Shout interrupt the Piercing Shard cast.

Iirc you only do like..1 pack of them now tho so it's w/e.

Ok listen, even tho i am 2,8k rio i dont understand one thing .. why is Clapso playing FbV over BrV ? Is it just because of the bug where BrV just doesnt work like 30% of time ? The one time i played FbV i felt way squishier.

Yeehaw

#

Thanks

exotic rapids
#

this might make me a laughing stock...but why does simcraft value trinket differently depending on the trinket slot?

I wear Flame+hoof and it tells me hoof+flame (same ilvl) is 600 dps more

It also tells me hoof 402+flame 402 is 300 dps more than flame 402+hoof 411

edgy spear
#

Never had to line up the casts with shockwave

sweet summit
opaque hull
#

Since there is DR for more than 30% of a stat, when I go above 30% haste is it better to enchant to vers to keep me on 30 haste and go higher vers?

sweet summit
#

so slot change is to show which trinket to use first for more damage

edgy spear

We usually just blast them.

They always seem to take a few seconds to figure out what to do when charging in and then they all simultaneously seem to cast. Must have it logged but on work pc atm

fiery wasp
#

is it worth to tank in battle stance with 4p tier set?

ionic fern
#

You should be in battle stance for like 99.9% of the time.

fiery wasp
#

even for mythic raiding?

ionic fern
#

Yes.

#

If you feel uncomfortable with the class/damage intake, you can obviously swap to Defensive Stance.

opaque hull
#

I just checked my armory, on the armory it says I got 34% haste, in game it says 28%. When I mouseover, the number is correct on both - 4326. Any ideas?

ionic fern

What talents are shown on Armory?

#

If ITF , then it sometimes counts that in a weird way.

no ITF, got the other one

Since I got the 4set, is it better to go Fueled by Violence instead of Brutal Vitality?

just did SMB and it felts super weird on last boss. could have sworn I didn't stand in the purple stuff but still got that nasty debuff. guess it has a bigger proximity than what is shown?

blazing condor
#

it can be tricky if you charge in on the mob

orchid frigate
#

yeah have the same issue first boss in raid 😄

blazing condor

granted you can charge no issues

but you gotta be careful cus its easy to step out of line

quartz pond

dont hold w while charing

whole vortex
#

We're you killing the skeleton at the edge?

quartz pond

the effect is way bigger than it looks on the trail but there is also never really a reason to cut that corner.

#

u can in 99% of the cases run in a straight line out.

whole vortex
#

It didn't look like I was cutting the corner, that's why it felt unfair

#

But we were at the edge, so I had to turn inwards to get away from frontal

quartz pond
#

definitely can happen and its better to give it some extra room to be safe.

whole vortex
#

I'm just never gonna listen to my dps when they say "kill edge" ever again

#

Taking the boss to a center sketon from now on

quartz pond
#

if the frontal is covering the escape route, the back of the boss should be safe to just wait.

whole vortex
#

Yeah, obviously okayge

quartz pond
#

but then again u can tank 1 dot and pop CDs, if DPS get it then its doomed.

whole vortex
#

Idunno, that dot ticks like a motherfucker in a +17

and got the dot once.

anyone running that rubyshell trinket? what training you guys did go for?

haste?

whole vortex

Train it for ST seems to be the current consensus

#

The buff is unpredictable, ST damage is consistent

#

AoE damage seems to be underwhelming

tawdry dirge
#

fair

#

haste buff seems also bit random and 16% uptime is not giga imo vs a hoof that give u fat haste fix

spice orbit
#

Any opinions on Breath of Neltharion? I assume it's channeled and hinders us from using abilities?

blazing condor

yeah that long of a channel is not gonna be fun

spice orbit

There are channels in the game that allow you to cast during them, see brewmaster

Just wanted to make sure :<

cause I heard it has a sweet flamethrower animation sadge

south patrol

Sure it’s been said multiple times but what is the optimal % of stats should I be shooting for

People who know about Haste and GCD; am I right in thinking that 20% Haste is the point at which you can go Revenge every 4th cast and keep up the 2pc buff, and 50% is theoretically how much it would take to go 5 GCDs?

if spell block goes down

i get fucking destroyed

broken tusk
#

is it a spell block into kite angle?

#

ok

hardy snow
#

how can i check dmg done during vanguard determinetion active in logs? I was trying weighted damage, but couldnt make it work

real ocean
#

Pretty much a kite angle. The dark claw thing will melt your face

spice radish
#

you can make 2 steps away from the pack every time minions try to hit you with dark claw

#

no need to kite

broken tusk
#

so i can stagger them?

#

or just avoid it entirely

real ocean
#

Thats basically kitting tho, at least how i Unterstand the term

spice radish
#

its natural to make small movements on this pack coz of the floor mechanic

broken tusk
#

is moving it out into the courtyard better to have more room?

spice radish
#

so make 1 step further every time is casts it

broken tusk
#

and just go in circles

spice radish
#

noonon

#

you dont wanna go too far

#

you want to be hitting the pack 24/7

broken tusk
#

ok

blazing condor
#

in pugs its fine to be in courtyard

#

for the runback

#

if you think people gonna die

real ocean
#

Yea

spice radish
#

you gonna have 2 sets of smallies if you kite it outside

broken tusk
#

then we all die

#

gotcha

#

ok

#

cause like i had a good run now on 18, was gonna 2 chest

#

0 deaths

#

we get to that pack

#

18 deaths

#

XD

spice radish
#

the only reason

#

you face tank

#

the beginning on this pack

broken tusk
#

with spell block up

spice radish
#

is to kill the little sha

#

once the little sha is dead

broken tusk
#

can't i just tank it with spell block for the entire 20 sec?

#

and then run

spice radish
#

you can do w/e you want

#

but

#

careful with aggro

#

kinda yeah you can

#

even in a 26 spell block is enough to face tank for 20 sec

#

just make sure sha is dead before you do any movement

#

otherwise will oneshot random ppl

broken tusk
#

ok

spice radish
#

let me see if i can find a good clip

#

to show you what i mean with stepping away and then back in

broken tusk
#

is it just to outrange dark claws?

#

i was too optimistic this pull and i had shield wall + cocoon on me in the opener

#

still died

#

lol

blazing condor
#

Dont forget you can reflect claws as well

broken tusk
#

yeah i know but if they are staggered it can be a bit tricky cause you only get 1

#

but i tried it out on the solo packs

#

and it worked wonders

spice radish
#

twitchis kinda buggy

#

but try to check this

#

02:27:53

broken tusk
#

thanks!

spice radish
#

when i get double darkclaw

broken tusk
#

ah i see

#

you also use it as an opportunity to charge for more rage?

#

or was that a shield charge

spice radish
#

normal charge

#

shield charge im always using to stop things

#

might even hold it for a few seconds just to make a stop

broken tusk
#

and the build you are running

#

no shockwave with disrupting shout

#

is that to have more interrupts without relying in stuns?

tidal barn
#

is burgeoning seed any good?

glacial skiff
#

Anyone know how to apply an aura search for uses while under a certain buff? I'm trying to look at wcl and determine how many of my shield slams are within shield block

ionic fern
glacial skiff
#

That's what i checked, but i don't see shield block as an option for some reason

#

Not sure if i can add it somehow or not

spice radish
#

shockwave is okish, but we have 2 tauren stuns and a dh, so its kinda overkill to run shockwave on dungeons you dont make huge pulls.

#

also shaman can go cap totem

broken tusk
#

makes sense if you have that many yeah

spice radish
#

i also never play with stormbolt

#

coz of rogue

lyric geode
#

Stormbolt to be honest is a dead talent

#

For me a Tauren

weary saddle
#

i use Storm Bolt as an extra interrupt

spice radish
#

its better to have the target in kidney that storm bolt

lyric geode
#

Is there a cap of stuns you can use?

#

Sometimes stormbolts doesnt work

spice radish
#

yeah you can make 3 stuns

weary saddle
#

i use it more for interrupt not for stun

spice radish
#

yes, but if you play with a rogue, rogue can use kindey for better results

lofty widget
#

but what if there is more than 1 mob peepostudy

tulip arrow
#

quick question what element of gem should i use for my lariat as prot ?

blazing condor
#

eh i fw not playing storm bolt

#

you got like 4 stuns yourself

I only pug, so ... if u assume u have another teammate rogue then by that logic u can forego many talents

spice radish
#

yap

lyric geode
#

I see pro rogues are stunning mobs with doing decent damage.

blazing condor
#

impossible

#

everyone knows you gotta pad 1000% to be able to perform

no interrupts

or stuns

#

thats dps loss
