What magic dam is there in hov besides dragon breaths?
Shield of Light on Hyrja
Just dodge the balls
true, but you can block them, they are annoying to dodge
Absolutely not in cos
They come out in a fixed pattern
There’s 1 balls, move left, 3 balls then 2 again
That dungeon is 100% phys damage, and 0 tank busters
2*
I think lepantoe posted a video now to dodge sanctify 100% while being close to dps
Okay yea but does shield on hyrja justify taking spellblock haha
im not saying its a good idea to get hit by those gold balls im saying it works on them, and they hurt a little bit
Sanctify is easy to dodge
if you dont change stance at all, and always stay in one - its not tracked in logs
It's always a fixed pattern
Then you should probably play max melee range
the visual change with hyrja's balls was great
It was quite jarring at first but I like them now that I've done it a few times
Emotional damage from people getting cleaved
Does that count
It's not a detriment to run it everywhere, but in almost half of the keys it barely gets more than 1 use
I like it in AV, RLP, TOJS but I also like face tanking
I bind my spell block to C, for some reason, in case people were curious
In HoV the only 3 uses you get on Spellblock are on dragons and hyrja
That's it.
3 uses in 1 dungeon
it felt right at the time and that was something that was already bou nd
This happened to me yesterday, rogue died before hyrja spawned, while we were waiting druid's adaptive swarm hit the boss, boss didn't aggro, by the time rogue came back boss was already back on the platform and bugged out, luckily it was just an alt run
but i stopped using C with DF
To all who play other tank classes: is prot warrior really the easiest to play? Been seeing this commentary a lot on the interweb forums
Prot is really easy
dk is also REALLY easy too
Keep SB up, keep IP up, click damage buttons 
That's a statement
This is not Season 4 BFA
Bdk is one of the hardest tanks
er, SL*
Dk is not that easy lol
All tanks are easy, but prot is not the easiest
Chatting
That doesn't make it easy
Cool- I feel like I am constantly smashing buttons
Think you are confusing utility of a class = easier to play
But I guess that's all classes 
Pwar is a bit faster than others
well, i have to form groups around actively thinking if i need to invite Brezzer or not
But to get by, pwar is absolutely easy now
must be nice to be able brez ppl
Is everyone using an MMO mouse? That was a gamechanger for me
Just copy an HR talent build
And mash everything on CD
And you'll get by
Until quite high keys
Something that feels weird in contrast to shadowland, is how you can turn your back to adds and still not die
….
Que?
well, okay, you go have fun with that
never tried this


I use one. It's definitely...easier? But I also did kind of a weird thing when I didn't have one that made more bindings fairly simple
Not entirely wrong, but that's moreso cuz mobs melee for less
im not trying that shit, you can
Like you'd turn your back for 0.5s in SL and you'd get clapped, in DF you do that and it's like, "oh yeah, thats why I got chunked a bit"
What you guys don't /moon mobs mid pull?
I had a mouse that had the forward/back buttons on the side before I bought an MMO mouse. So I bound forward/back to ctrl/alt and just had modifiers for everything
Amh
i just use a normal gaming mouse
That’s what I do and it’s been perfectly fine
normal branded gaming mouse, not a generic one sorry
I use a g600 now though and I love it.
I have the logitech mouse with the 12 buttons and man- it makes life great
still budget basic bitch shit, but normal gaming mouse
Get MMO mouse, gamechanger
i didn't like it
Takes a while to get used to tho
i thought it was stupid
What is a "gaming" mouse exactly
g502 hero
general gaming mouse, mostly made towards shooters, but gaming in general
I use the gpro wireless, and will never go back
g502 is so overrated imo. Buttons are weirdly positioned to me
Bought a aerrox mmo mouse and hated it
The MMO mice are great, I have heroic throw, all my shouts, ravager, shield wall, last stand, all on individual buttons
I've found having 4-6 extra mouse buttons helps, will try one of those 12 mouse buttons one of these days
the other mouse i have that i don't use is a MX master 3
I use 502 now I used to use mmo mouse for years
and then g600 i think its called mmo
Yeah, g600 is the one I've used for like 4 or 5 years
I just don’t like the size of the mmo noises
i only really buy logitech and microsoft mice, i had a MS sidewinder like 10 years ago now
steelseries are nice and robust
Yeah the g600 is the one I have
Nagasaki suck or requires a shit thumb
also have last stand on the third button
I like 502 because of how long it is I have big hands
sorry ralying cry on third button
A lot of mmo mouse are too small
I envy ppl with small hands I can't NOT wrist aim in shooters fucking dumb
he ponders the orb
hes 2200 io is what he is
Yeah I've known a few people to use those. One person I know uses the orbweaver or w/e thing (the 1-handed keyboard or whatever the fuck it's supposed to be)
Have you guys seen those rings you can use instead of a mouse haha
He's just built different
he's a DK, it is what it is
so i have tier gloves but at garbage ilvl. no tier bracer or legs yet. 398 matriarchs girdle with leech... only used 2 sparks so far. Lariat/shield
you think its worth spending more sparks? and on what
was hoping for fire rings, and then was going to craft belt
Weapon usually
What’s wep like?
402 wep, only have up to raz tokens
so best bet is 3 lvl upgrade
till i can get into +16
i feel like i cant get into 16s because im sitting at 397 ilvl
409 ilvl still using cobalt ring
Cobalt gang rise up
Just farmed the rep while doing 66-70 on my brew
Yeah, your ilvl is not keeping you from farming 16s, your io is, but again, there's probably 10 tanks who are at least 402-405 applying to those 16s
I'd personally take a higher io tank with low ilvl than a low io tank with high ilvl
yea
I havent read past the shield/sword/plus icon in over 3 years
How cluttered is everyone's UI? I want to see how mine compares 
and when you get in you are in for a treat? 
I've gotten in at 392 
current reset?
ppl are desperate on my server i guess
So besides higher damage/threat any other reason I might value a better weapon vs a chest piece? I'd imagine the armor on a chest piece would be nice for survivability l
i've had mixed reviews on my server
odd group recognizes me and kicks
but, lots of fans too, kick is like 3/100 groups scenario at worst lol
My ignore list has never been larger than this time around lol, it feels like there’s more toxic people than usual. still a lot of great people, fortunately
forgive and forget with 99% of people, unblock at later point, make mental note of extreme repeat problem boys
How are you famous? 🙂
lol I actually accidentally grouped with someone on my ignore list, and didn’t realize until after when I was like “hey he did pretty good, I’m gonna message him…… oh wait”
armor is on 11 of your peices
weapon damage is on 1
higher weapon damage -> higher ip's as well
but generally speaking just having higher AP scaling is good
most on my short ignore list are from ragnaros
let me put this in a more easier term to understand, i can give you a rocket launcher or a pistol
what you really gunna take
Well depends
guys, i am having problems on tanking and i dont understand wtf is going on.
can someone share the over pull route for nokhud?
tell us of your troubles my son
Tanking is all about comfortably and knowledge
94% before taking back way to final boss
every single time i attempt to map it out in my head doing nokhud i always fuck it up and we go to final boss with 70-85%
Yeah that's a big fuck up
ty dad, so xD. i try my best to keep Ignore pain and shield block as much as i can, but the thing is i dont generate rage so i can make it 100
ive tried doing it the mental way, but i cant work out exactly the MDT im gunna need to take
You need to pull like 5 extra packs at 3rd boss
ghunna try looking see if i find one on raider io
i have good stats, i have 31 haste, 18 crit, and 16 mastery followed by 15 versa
clear almost all trash on 3rd boss until you fly the back way to final boss
and i dont understand.. like some keys destroy me... i am 400ilvl and sometimes i die cuz i get too much dmg
i press only slam and clap
would it be a good idea to fly to the giant patrol pack and zerg that as very first pull
Sending offensive CDs on cdc
And using most outbursts on shieldslam
since everyone has CD's' and its a big % count
i've pulled that pack, and it destroys us
i believe its this one, i guess you just never pull it?
I typically do one patrol pack, the big 6 patrol pack, with all the catapults
But yeah you can probably do one more patrol pack over there- mightve done that last time i was in there
Do the pack at the 4 or someone will ass pull anyway
You guys think they’ll ever take shield slam off the gcd?
normally i just go catapult, inner, catapult ???? catapult, boss
So, I gave Heroic Terros a spin last night.... Is a quarter million damage on an auto attack normal in Heroics? I imagine I'll need to be maintaining better uptime and cooldown management for Shield Block, but I was still taken aback by just how much his basic melee did. How do Non-Warriors deal with that, if they don't have SB?
Yeah clear a couple patrols along with the big 6 patrol
I’m not sure why it’s on there. We have two arms
And then literally kill all trash at third boss until 94%
the pros can chime in here if there is a better way
We have like 500k hp only way u get hit 250k with sb up means u got like 4 debuff stacks
Was this on second slam stack or just normal dmg?
The other tank and I were swapping after 1 Slam, so I believe it was with only 1 stack.
Unless Heroic has the stack drop off more slowly/Slams more often?
I’d definitely double check. Each slam increases the physical dmg you take by 100%, and with SB and IP up you shouldn’t take even close to that on a normal melee.
U get 2 stacks for a bit
Yeah, that's why I was so taken aback. The other tank was having similar issues though. We wiped like three times before hanging our heads in shame and giving up. Because each time, we died to some Melee that did ~200k+ damage.
Does picking up another stack not refresh the original?
Wild. With SB & IP capped (as much as possible) you shouldn’t be getting smoked like that.
Hey team- is there a "best" spot on the wall to tank last boss on AV
The debuff stacks and refreshes.
It refreshes the duration but when u move round next section it drops off
what can I do to make sure SW is ready for each beam in Raz P3? Sometimes I could do it but most of the time I couldn't. I don't main prot so I really don't know what could I do better.
So do I need to be swapping on 2 stacks then, to make sure it's not piling up? Or should 1 still time out ok?
Oh, well that's interesting. So in theory there should never be more than 4 slams per section, right?
I personally swap on two. Whether you need to or not.. idk. Just how I’ve done it.
Each section normally has 4 slams - 2 sets of spikes.
If u swap each time it drops but u will have 2 debuff for short duration during move section and just after
We do two stacks, since it just lines up better with slams/pillars etc.
^
Up to u. On mythic we just swapped each stack it ment I could do all pillars every time
I'll have to coordinate with my buddy and see about giving that a try.
Offtank didn't have to do any pillars
Hi, quick question, do we maintain shield block up as much as possible while tanking dungeons ?
always
Yes
I have a weakaura to track uptime
Every group I'm in seems to be doing the pillars split, but every guide that I'm finding says to do them all at once. What's the difference in that?
Thank you, just making sure so i dont sound stupid recommending that to a friend
Exploding them all at the same time is just more raid damage. Splitting them gives healers an easier time.
What's the deal with sparks of ingenuity this is gonna be our 5th one this upcoming week can we farm them from now on or what?
We did 2 stacks for both heroic and mythic. There's 4 before he takes a quarter of the room away with annihilate. Can just pop all pillars as they come, gotta use raid cds
any idea what setting this could be? Others can sign to the event, just not me and RL says its some setting in my discord but he doesn't know which one 😦
Raid helper needs administrator I believe.
Oh wait you can’t click it, or it didn’t work?
But like 11 other people have signed to the event
Oh
I click it with my class and i get that msg
I think bot cant send me msg so I cant reply with the spec shit
This is only optional, we dont use sign for main raid, we just announce MIA
It bugs like that sometimes. We fixed by canceling it and putting it back up, but if that doesn’t work I’d google it. Should be info related to it since it’s a relatively common issue.
no shamy tank? im disappointed
If you're a non mythic raider, would crafting a shield and working up to 418 be the best use of time and resources? I have limited time to play and want to get the most bang for my buck. Interested in people's thoughts.
Shield is mega worth
Have you ever tried using raid frames when in party
Yup
The fact they hid these in edit mode threw me for a loop
@sick sentinel @uneven mason thanks!
Yeah I wish the settings for raid frames saved in the edit mode as well
like when i switch to an alt i have to re-setup raid frames class colors, show health %, etc
whats the best training to do on the ruby whelp trinket? 🙂
Is the ring from cobalt assembly worth keeping for the shield proc, or its better to switch it for somethin higher ilvl?
I feel like the ruby whelp trinket is a sim trap. single target for the raid last night and it was about 2% overall on my WW monk
god damn dathea add
how to grab all the aggroes when u have only disrupting shout for one side and the far oone is just to hard to reach
- are you trained 2) 2% overall on a trinket is pretty decent, esp when you consider it procs healing and stats sometimes instead
yea, single target trained
The sim for the whelp is best case scenario, so yeah it's a trap
It's very sporadic
Spinny blade goes spin
My whetstone was doing closer to 7%
Uhhh ok whetstone also has no mainstat
spiny blade?
Ravager
Taunt + heroic throw is an stupendous amount of aggro
Whetstone is a healer trinket, you can't change my mind
Ravager
oh i spec into disrupting shout.. didn't have that on my talent
have been copying the talent tree from wowhead instead
You don't drop ravage for disrupting shout lol
Important to change talents according to situation
Drop like sof or somwthing
Yes
god damn i have to reconfigure my talent tree again
well i did this
hopefully that fixes it.
taunt charge the add.. avatar .. disrupting shout. then go to ravager
hopefuly that gathers them
This is for M+ right?
no dathea
is the BR helmet from engi worth?
heroic dathea.. a pain for prot warriors trying to gather the adds
Huh
No
Dathea is super easy for pwar
but y m i having troubles gathering these adds
i mean there's no talent tree that i can copy
ravanger before they drop
There's a bunch in the pins isn't there?
i mean I can post mine but its just made up on the spot
they told me to use disrupting shout
guys are you playing with thunderlord?
or ram?
i use this BkEAR5QSZgdnGefDo4ho9ZGXKLgAAAAASSSkkQSLpkkkWBRgQRQUSSAiIJJ0CJJgcAEAAAAAAAARAAoUaA no clue if its optimised I just winged it before pull
Just play this
And you're golden
You'll have CDs for every add wave, aoe interrupt for every add wave
And still super good boss dmg
i dropped an 84 with what I posted but again i imagine its scuffed
kek
👆 i mean m+
Battering
looking over yours and I see some changes I can make so ty ty
Nvm im lying I only got a 96
reported
Cuz 0 pad on adds
but should i use disrupting shout as soon as i land on the platform?
😦
As soon as you're inbetween all of them, yes
They'll all insta run to you
one more question, can you link me spell reflect wa? cant find it
I want primary stat and haste on my big gem or vers?

some dont.. 2 of them are like far away and i have to charge to to taunt
Is there a point to ever take thunderlord in m+?
Lepan's video made a reasonable point to take it on tyrannical rlp
If you want to you can pick it, defensively its somewhat better than battering ram, but battering ram is more damage and more consistent
The perfect case for thunderlord is being able to demo shout important boss mechanics which you couldn't get without TL that you otherwise couldn't live
Ah ok that makes sense. On Fort, if it's paired with booming voice, it still underperforms compared to battering ram?
Yes
Thunderlord will desync demoshout from your offensive CDs
Therefor it results in a dmg loss
And if you decide to hold demo shout for them, you're just wasting thunderlord
👆 guys
which one are you using?
I'm just using one that displays how much dmg I reflected
I don't have the whack weakaura that shows what I can and can't reflect
Half of the time it doesn't work or displays the wrong spell
seems fine for me
yeah im reflecting most painfull spell but i think i can use it bit more often
so your wa seems really good
can i have it?;d
love you
How to deal with the mobs that cast arcing strike in NO near the totem, aside from stuns they wreck hard

@cinder storm spellblock probl
spell reflect
RIP
you just range the strikes
like you said outside of hard stopping them
you can practice timing in an m0
by yourself
just fly over and repeat

Anyone who has some good macro for explosions?
You can't macro explosives
just click target them and attack
Guys, RIP. GG ProtWar
Not even with mouseover ?
Fake screenshot is fake
hahaha
you caught it super fast. my fucking brew monk co tank loves to fuck with me
he sent this to me
developpers
lmao
Spell shield
There are alot of errors on this
could be PTR
It's filled with errors.
From spelling, to phrasing
who actually wastes their precious time on this lmao
And straight up wrong names
there aren't even full stops at the end of the sentences 💀
imagine being so fucking salty
you take the time to make a fake nerf post
and target Demoralizing shout
the blue font is off too
of all fucking things
loool
"removed the baseline armor"
shield charge giving SB is so good
BDKs mad because they can't 1 button tank anymore
i would have been mad if that was actually removed lol
why of all the things that pwar has, you are madge about ... fucking demo shout......
boy.....
well the next talent
Yes
i understand
lol
😉
hahaha
Sounds about right... yikes...
If I'm positioning correctly, there should never be a time when I'd use Whirlwind over Revenge, right?

whoever made that has a severe lack of understanding of how prot warr even works lmao
is it just me or is battle scarred a buggy piece of shit
Yes
it procs on all kinds of tank busters
Yes it's bugged
fucking garbage
It's never not been bugged
Not once did I it work properly
It's a wasted talent point
also fuck off devs on try to make us go D-stance or there needs to be a reason to be in it lol
its saved me a lot of times from imminent death in pugs but still
is a deveoper screenshot target someone in this discord
Developers note - Battle stance removed
we get fury stance? cool
even when not bugged its still very mid
"We Brewmaster Developers feel Warriors fuck our wifes so we take their B Stance away"
O_o
ill tkae it gives us an extra talent point
na, its not that bad
If it was an actual cheat, it would be aight
if you can't reliable use a talent yes, its bad
na, high keys if someone misses a kick and you proc cheat you just laugh
if you put a button that says "hit this to do 10% more dps at all times" everyones gunna click that button and leave it on forever
it is what it is
because it procs before it should
i guess im lucky then cuz it saved my ass on numerous occasions in pugs
You'd be surprised how many think that a tank should be max tanky at all times
as long as my ass isnt dead, bias confirmed
I played with BSV for a bit and never felt any difference, wasted point
Daily we get people who are surprised that people leave d-stance
im essentially in perma B stance
this is why versa life
I think people will tank however they feel comfortable
Absolutely
because pugs just don't fucking get it
of course
Whether in D or B so who cares
and they "you don't got enough versa fuck off noob"
Well, min-maxers care
parses care, daddy
If you want to do well, you should stance dance
This
D stance is great defensive tool
And B stance is a great offensive tool.
almost as though you lost roughly 10% dps
I think tattman is the only one (of the few pwar streamers I watch) who's always or mostly in b stance, the others always sit on dstance
Yeah but a lot of that time dstance is overkill
pika switches aswell
How do you deal with Shield of Light on Hyrja in HOV?
Just Spell Reflect and make sure to have full ignore pain up for it?
Gotta be switchin
Sr + full IP + Demo shout
Rotate SWs when ready
Also be full HP
Always
Eh, plka stays in dstance most of the time from what I've seen, or at least if he's chilling
well could be - last couple of push keys he def wasn’t but confirmation buss i guess
Is it reasonable to have Demo shout up for each Shield of light?
You shouldn’t get hit by it. Dodge it
He's talking bout boss
On Hyrja o: ?
Ohh, nvm. Idk why I was thinking about mob before boss 🤦♂️
You left me very confused for a sec 😄
On any popular spec it's alot easier to parse into the 90s
might as well toss shield block before slam for more damage
It's not just that
But any popular spec will have alot of very average and below average players

So the chance to get a higher ranked parse, is alot easier cuz you're competing with a small % of actual pumpers
If you count all players
The biggest gaps of dps diff is always between 99 and 100
It's larger than from 90 to 99
some runescape shit
Yup
Is there any reason not to macro shield slam into everything that’s off the gcd?
I'd only recommend that on ignore pain
I guess on SB is also fine
But that one is a bit less effective
I've tried it, but I can't even say if Im still using it or if I removed it
Cuz it was literally unnoticeable for me
whole ass keyboard; 4-5 fingers
Hey Guys, i have a question hope someone can answer me a few question.
I will play now Protection, but i have some craft items, like the wrist. and the Neck.
so i have some left 2 Sparks but i have 402 weapon and Shield and 411 Waist, is the best craft to go of the Waist for 418 maybe, because the Decoration of Flame Trinket or Something other craft´s. Hope someone can help me 🙂
just hit 2 keys
Weapon and shield
Not even a question
Ok thanks 🙂
Ye just get those to 418
best i can do is a 405
Yeah Gold is spicy this xpac
I've spent like 800k on just consumes and crafting so far
Fucking dumb
i spent 1 wow token
weve reach end stage wow capitalism this xpac
like normally herbs are way cheaper at this point but everythings still 100+g per herb for anything of importance
https://prnt.sc/TuK4vv-MuktM i take 421 shoulders for next week or th for 4set now.... idk
Or actually
With wow China shutting down
There's probably gonna be a spike of crafting mats on the ah
D:
F for the meta breakers
421 next week and just get the hands inr aid this week ezpz
I use this, I see it happen at least once per dungeon, its noticeable for me.
You'll never replace those shoulders
So yeah
But, if you wanna be safe, reclear raid
Blizzard's 6D chess move to get people to spend real money on token 
i recleared 😦 and again nothing 16/16 nothing
Then it's up to you
Id take the shoulders; time to plan for long term
Do you want (potential) bis m+ trinket, or bis shoulders
a little delayed gratification dont hurt
would you guys suggest to do haste versa weapon with fang adornments?
is it bis trinket?
its really strong
BiS.... idk
there are a handful of good trinkets though, that being one of them
Yeah bis is hard to determine as trinkets are quite underhanded
But it's really fucking good in m+
And also just fun
To track the procs
its cool
we start Mythic Kurog tonight.... so ya boi is hoping we kill it quick
the trinket drops
I'd love a mythic all-totem
and then I make my case for it.... cause other tank has a mythic icon
30% increase on it?

raid is super nice to.... cause its short and the only real wall seems to be Raz
so lots of reclears in the future
exactly; thats perfect
all through SL we would have to start lockouts like 60%-70% of the way through for a 2 night a week guild
so now u threw me of 😄 trinket or shoulder 😄
It's up to you
Take shoulders
now its like 'well, we can kill Brood 3 times prob' and a reclear while we do that
neither is a bad option
it comes down to personal preference
You literally can't go wrong with either
looking for advice on what to spend spark and 405 infusion on https://raider.io/characters/us/area-52/Tankian
Weapon
got this weapon in my vaul this week, on a scale from 1-10 how pog is it ? I know it aint bis but still, the passive seems pretty goo
I would prob go shoulders can get heroic all totem from raid
assumption is i will not get fire rings, because i don't raid, and i crafted belt, so i screwed my self out of doing fire belt, assumption is i want to do weapon 405
Strike twice is bis, assuming equal ilvl
what about fangst
Strike twice is literally our best weapon, if you can get it at 421 you're GG
does more dmg, or just leave it unembellishment, i have 1 real embellishment wrist versa and belt of food fake embellishment
oh ? i just read through the WoWhead guide and there another weapon is bis
but i guess i shouldnt blindly trust guides
shoulders it is, thanks 😄

Would a 415 strike twice be better than crafted 418, assuming you have lariat and frostfire belt?
quick questions on enchants. wowhead guide says i should use sopihc but icy veins says i should use wafting (or frozen on both for aoe) but for raid, which one should i use then?
basically getting fang embellishment for free
Just sim them
That's just a sim question
But I severely doubt it
Especially on aoe it won't win
Sophic
is there any list or something where i can see the slots that are not craftable so i upgrade it with valor?
oh okay
hey guys which wa to track buffs on cos?
there is couple of them
which one are you prefer?
Been meaning to ask, does it proc devastator?
No it'd not a second attack
does that look right, supposed to be 405, but we will see what it turns into
that and i have to source someone to craft it now
Why that embellishment?
Seems like a waste of an embellishment
It's a 1% buff like most others
i don't have a second embellishment
i have a food belt, so i dont know i will get fire belt, and crafting in set slots seems dangerous due to catalyst
don't have alot of gem sockets, so im not sold on lariat
No
It's just a dmg proc, not an extra autoattack
i didn't make the item yet, thats just a mock up
im not sure what other embellishments exist that should be on my radar
lariat can have three sockets on it by itself, it doesn't scale with more gems anyway
Versa wrists, FF belt, spikes on shield, lariat
my shield is 405, but the stats are meh
What is your weap?
Do u have a concentrated primal?
armor spikes is fine in m+ but loses a lot of value whenever you're not actively being hit
https://raider.io/characters/us/area-52/Tankian this is my character
i should make the weapon haste crit but pugs will say im trolling
Why
Crut haste is fine
cuz its pugs, they have strange beliefs
Because ur wep secondaries?
pugs don't give two cent
Pugs usually only flame if you are already doing weird stuff
And its yaba daba
pugs dont know what stats you should be running, they barely know what stats they should be running
All they care is rio score and your ilvl
Hey is it possible to hug wall and skip the center hallway pack in front of the 2 sentinels in the hall?
So for all I can find, there isn't much said about this in the pins, but how powerful is the wep from Nokhud? I haven't spent any Valor yet, but am trying to find "BIS" pieces to spend it on. Is it much better than any other sword or even 418 crafted one I could make next reset?
Or invis skip them ye
I haven't gotten my hands on it yet
It's better on equal ilvl
A 418 beats it
waste of valor imo
So something, but not much?
just craft a weapon
What dungeons do we swap out of Spell Block for Tough as Nails - if any?
right but spending any on a weapon, which is one of the most expensive items to spend valor on, is pointless
much better used on things like cloaks and rings
the world of pugs is.... they are angry as all hell if you deplete their key, and they are extatic if you time it
spell block for tjs, rlp, maybe av... think i'm tough as nails for the rest rn
Cheers 🙂
Hey, on Kurog MM, would you advice me to go decoration of flame or whetstone ?
How much % is needed in HOV before heading up escalator?
82%
if you clear the entire dinner hallway and only get the dragon and 5 wolfs, thats enough
sounds pug friendly
Thought it was 84% as they are 4% each
not that rough honestly, just tell your group always mystics and thunders
everyone gets on the mystic and you win
isn't it 84?
having a discussion with a guildie right now
is https://www.wowhead.com/item=195496/eye-of-the-vengeful-hurricane or lariat better for prot?
This epic amulet of item level 395 goes in the "Neck" slot. It is looted from Dathea, Ascended. In the Amulets category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.
maybe it was we were at 82% and then we pulled a small pack to get us to 85%
i generallly end up clearing whole dinner room, or minus 1 pack
cuz like, you can do the bulls in wolf section too
No necklace is better than lariat. But in comparison to other embellishments, it's about even.
Assuming same ilevel of course (though lariat's embellishment is worth some ilevel)
anyways, if anyone has a good reccomendation what i should do for embellishments let me know
my plan was to make the sword with the fangs
Hey guys this is my first week tanking explosive. Should I be doing anything differently?
No
you should be more pissed off at your group mates for not attacking the orbs and how you have to do them all
Woijoijs don’t have many abilities to hit explosives
thats it
no
e ver
NO. Remove it from bars
revenge is better
Alright, what's the HP like on them are they something that gets one shot?
They take one hit, it’s not much to worry about. You can heroic throw far ones
Alright awesome thank you!
what else do i dont use as protection warrior? 😄
Unless you're a VDH using throw glaive 😉
Slam
defensive stance
🫶
I mean, that's not entirely true. You do use defensive stance sometimes.
anyone try titantic throw for explosives
It isn't any different than regular heroic throw.
I used defensive stance in tjs 3rd boss after it almost 1 hit me and i shit myself 😛
Small victories
Still can't hit any explosives besides the one you're targeting.
ah, thanks
How do you typically cycle offensive cds? Avatar and Demoralizing shout always goes off cd at different times than Revenge and Thunderous Roat. Not to mention Avatar and Demoralizing shout doesnt always line up either lol.
When do you hold and when do you slam 'em either way?
Slam, Whirlwind, and Rend (though you talent Rend to use it with Blood and Thunder).
All CDs on CD
Any idea on which trinket to play on Kurog Mythic ? Currently playing icon + whetstone, but have decoration of flame available, dunno if the shield is worth the loss of dmg ?
So I shouldn't really hold stuff to line up better with Avatar for more dam?
if you ran thunderous roar it'd be demo first i think
Demo shout and shield charge should line up every time as long as you're not running Thunderlord. Likewise Ravager and Thunderous Roar will sync with Shield Charge and Demo Shout on every other.
Press buttons
er thunderlord
Thunderlord will desync demo from just about everything. Battering Ram is more damage too so better to run that.
but if you had both
It would still desync demo from everything
even if desync, it'd still prio up
I don't know what that means
you would always want to hit it to keep it rotating down off cooldown over the other (like avatar)
unless you need it for a defensive cd
Well yes, obviously. My point is that the talent isn't worth running, not that you wouldn't still use it on CD
Oh really? Is battering ram just straight up better than thunderlord even in M+ situations?
Yes
The only time you would want to run Thunderlord is if you for some reason needed the defensive portion of Demo Shout more often.
I see, not really at that point yet no
booming voice synergy
That's what I was thinking too, so kinda surprised Battering Ram would be higher dam
More AA's = more rage
It's not really booming voice synergy though. If I don't talent Thunderlord, I have a 20% damage increase to all of my CDs except potentially Avatar. If I do talent it, I might sync a demo shout up with them every now and then
But most of the time I'm going to be increasing just my normal rotation by 20%
TBH Tlords owned back when Demo was on AM
i mean it's not really an argument, you can say "shield charge synergy" and "devastator synergy" for battering ram, still need to math out which is providing more value
Prot synergy 
and smarter people than me are coming down on the side of battering ram
You can sim it if you don't believe me 🤷 I don't have to prove it when sims exist.
Sorry that was intended for the naysayers 😉
I am much more for a more lined up playstyle, so fits me perfectly xD
i've ran shield charge since the start, its great
I'm so happy Shield Charge is actually part of our builds because that spell is just ultimate class fantasy to me
Though it is kinda sad that we don't normally use the charge part
Guys, if I play dps and prot, what is the best missive to craft on lariat?
How much vers are you guys running on m+?
I was thinking crit/vers
which dps?
Literally does not matter at all
i offspec fury and haste/crit is doing me well
Fury for now. But in 10.0.5, prolly arms
Wait so stacking vers is… bad?
idk what other stats arms likes though but any of the other stats are going to be fine for us
we used the charge part for the better part of last expac and weaving it was fucking annoying
im grateful for no deadzone on it for an extra interrupt
No, stacking vers is just incredibly overrated.
does spell block work for hyrja storm phase?
Nom was ranting about spell block in HoV earlier today - i think its only applicable to dragon breaths and sanctify
New to rankning, can you explain?:)
both of which its probably smarter to just choose to take no damage from instead of trying to block it
U can also block hyrja frontal
Not sure if its worth picking it just for that tho
Versatility requires more rating per % of stat than any other stat (by a lot, especially for damage reduction). As an example, for the same % of vers DR as it would take to get crit, it's 410 vers vs 180 crit
Verse stacking is an undying relic from Corruption when you could get upwards of 80% verse to have a permenant shield wall
but the marginal gains back to our ignore pain via 4p and brutal vitality, don't you naysay prot dps 😉
the reality is that, defensively speaking, more haste for more rage, and just playing better, is more relevent than any particular Verse breakpoint
You should just go for more total stats rather than focusing on specific stats.
And before anyone says anything, because there's always one, it does not matter what top tanks do. They're gonna do what they do.
any news come out about the Ruby trinket? is it a trap?
its "ok"
It's better than it was, but not something you should go out of your way for
offensively, if you're unlucky, not a trap
Is there a min % rcomendation tho?
No
If your ilvl is decent and none of your pieces have vers on them, you're still fine
You can do the highest keys with like 5% vers. Don't avoid it but don't blindly stacking it expecting it to save you
Also like... m+ is a scaling system so it's basically impossible to give any kind of min stat recommendation
Also true
hasting into more effective health is more reliably going to save you
Is mythic raid still restricted to realm only? I see only specific realms in lfg but i think there was something about it going away since mythic opened with hero , any insight?
you guys know if its possible to track MRT class cooldowns in dungeons?
like rally and aura mastery?
yea
you can track them with omnicd
im not sure how to track using MRT specifically though
ah i see
i think its still locked until first 100 in horde and ally are done?
idk if that changed
or even if its done
Yea i think i read something about them removing that restriction , it was pre release, but now all groups are realm specific and i kinda cant find any info
ahhh idk ive been known to not read so
to me the window with the cd shows even alone:
Can't see any of this in the pins. Is Ruby Whelp Shell implemented in SimCraft/Raidbots?
Well updated is what I should say
Yeah, simmed and played with it at 6 a bit now
Really nothing amazing
The variance is also still too high even at 6
lots of people say don't use the rank 3 materials, just use rank 2
You can sim it you just need to put a custom string into the footer on expert mode
i could have sworn you put in rank 3, you get better stuff depending on skill
it's cheaper to recraft using rank 2 mats, than getting a guaranteed using rank 3
Do you have any links to that? I am too much of a plebeian to do it myself.
Will Google otherwise
doing first craft of a weapon
i want to put fangs adornment on it, have that in bag

Is possible to keep 100% uptime on shieldblock with 12sec cooldown on it and shieldcharge ?
Np, I got these from Erga in this channel so credits his
last time i did belt i told the guy just send it and it worked out 405
okay, so if i do recrafts i use rank 2's
Easy with Heavy Repercussions
Yeah, it's the point, I would like to maybe get rid of this talent to have more haste, I tried to do a timeline to see if viable but...it didn't go as planned 😄
i sorta wish that when you got the crafted item, it like, played a animation of the character doing blacksmithing
i could just buy wow token and level BS to 100 my self
quick question, is there value in SB when the other tank is active? I've seen people in logs keeping the uptime even when they're not tanking melees. Or are they just dumping rage
it's difficult to get to 100 without other people
5 people around me 100% of the time
it made my SB cd goes down to 12sec, where my question land 😄
shield block increases shield slam damage by 30%
oh, makes sense thank you
yes, MRT works well in dungeons. OmniCD also does the same thing if you dont want to use MDT
you should be able to keep SB up 100% whether or not you are tanking and since it increases SS damage practice keeping it up as much as possible for that sweet sweet parse 🙂
For the most part keeping up shield block means pressing your normal buttons
it's done
Hi there, do you think that 4P set worth more than 5% haste ?
what phials are you using for 20 upwards?
not a 405, but im happy enough with it
i can just recraft it later if i really want
Are you having issues with survival without the 4pc? If not, it isn't adding anything to your DPS. I would sim the two for DPS at that point.
Yea, and recrafts are way cheaper in mats than initial craft.
and so, recraft, is i just give rank 2 mats and send it again and again till rank 5?
guys shoud i put my valor to any of this or wait more for smething better ?
i was thinking windscar or cos ring or maybe u think of something else?
@fierce field the thing is that on the paper the 4P looks really nice it's free "Ignore Pain" and then less rage consumed
You're going to be dumping extra rage into IP either way to feed the machine
i have to look into how it works but the guy is saying he offers free recraft
Alright, I'll simcraft it and see, thank you 🙂
and i assume anyone specced into it can do the same thing
or i can even later after enough points
or any of u know how to sim it to see wich is better upgrade?
U can check in valor upgrades, but ill just valor those cheap "bis items"
in raidbots there is a + button on the gear that can be upgraded with valor, you click that and select an upgraded version and sim it
Like ring and trinket, unless u get them in vault u wont replace them, and unless it will be your only upgrade u wont take that over high ilvl main piece, which u have on lower ilvl as i see. Also upgrading cheaper pieces bump your ilvl more so bit higher chance to get into pugs
Do you think is ITF Playable in battering ram build?
Yea I crafted both weapons at the same guy. He one tapped both to 418 and my gf’s weapon as well
She got it done hella cheap
I did +18 cos and i think there is no Point of playing with heavy repercussion
U did an 18cos tho ..
Ye it can mąkę difference higher i Just tried to start this week with lesser key(thet was my 1st this week)
Its not like a best measurement honestly.. i did 19 like 3 hours ago and in overal healer had like 3m on me .. meaning its super low tank dmg dung
But to be honest do you nerd 100% SB uptime on bosses?
Go like NO, or valors, and lets see if u feel same , if u then feel like u dont need it and can keep sb up, go for it
U "dont need it" , they wont oneshot, but it helps your healer and your dmg
Also, like i said, cos is rather bad dungeon to use as a measure
Pressing SB in proper time still can avoid massive dmg. KK ill check it out on different one
Just love ITF
what's the consensus on the ST trained shell?
i've been hunting the whetstone but after like 40 CoS i'm ready to dump valor on the egg
Whats the best option for M+ phial-wise? Versa or Glacial Fury?
It's not just the damage you prevent to yourself, it's the bonus damage you do with shield bash.
Consensus is that its sim bait
What trinket should i go with?
It is right? I tought so
Ive vendored like 3 of them already, yet i havent seen a single ring drop
Huh? theres 3 there and 2 are the same
i've seen only one whetstone in all of my CoS, 20+ rings tho
I think im cursed , every run i go people claim how often the ring drops, yet it never drops for me
Sadge life
Ye conspiracy theory here too, it's to ostrange that i've seen only one whetstone drop
I would rather have the whetstone than the ring.
Is IO 4 seconds of shield wall per avatar, and vice versa?
wait, horn of valor actually exists?
It does but its not something u wanna chase iirc
Over those trinkets horn is prob the best
probably the 2 higher ilvl ones - but honestly, they're not great, any of them
That strength is useful
@deep sprucethat was i have atm :S
Should probaly try to do some LFR to get Decoration of Flame 🙂 Great trinket even on LFR
^
okay ty 🙂
more hoping for my monk... 30+ runs between two toons and have yet to see it though.
I was using DoF LFR version for a while until I got the normal version
I mean, its fine, but its not 'great' especially at LFR level
BIS trinket is BIS
And your Battle Scarred Scale is great until you get some higher ilvl ones 🙂
BiS my arse
its great wdym
No danger is it BiS are u insane
I guess so
Defensive wise it might be biss because there simply are no other good tank trinkets, but overal it isnt bis for most of people
Struggling to stay alive in 16s but I can blow through 14s is it me or the healer?
i think saying bis should get you banned instantly
Im rocking these two atm, but not sure if i should craft a 418 weapon
Waiting for my ban then
if its all 16s, its u
ez game until 421 whetstone
oufff
no idea wtf, but priest healer died to something, warlock dies, someone unrelated leaves, all in first 2 pulls of hov
deco pretty damn good this week on explosives but i'm pretty sure that has to be a bug
Yeah thats deffo unintended
need a billion more details to know what's killing you
the jump in every key level is bigger than it used to be but you should still be able to maintain yourself pretty well IF kicks/cc is being handled well
and you can handle a lot yourself
but for some tankbuster bosses, you do need to start working with your healer a bit
Wait did someone say decoration is bis
lol yea
someone always says its bis
do the guys on very first pull of halls of valor do a cleave im looking into this
🤦
bUt ItS s TiEr On WoWHeAd
healer got stunned by the thundering at any rate
only the dragon
the dragon breath is a cleave but otherwise no
well, thunder went out, healer got fucked by something,
and a targetted frontal on tank that u can walk away from
Thundercaller has two random casts. Maybe he got comboed?
i saw power attacks being done after watching in outplayed
Though he shouldn't have died on a 13 or w/e
wait you can walk out of the breath after it starts? or you're saying the rest of the group can move out of it
because man i feel dumb if you can walk out of it
how do i handle 3rd boss on temple? Jade serpent is smoking me even with SR and SB
if you're in the key range where pugs are dying to absolutely random shit you probably shouldn't pull up to the dragon
