Are healers having to give you externals for the beak bitch in AA in 18+ keys during the peck this week? We had our tank go down last night during an 18 and noticed the healer never even tossed a defensive on him.
out of curiosity what do yall use for tank buster alerts?
no
Eyes weakaura
littlewigs for timers
I mean, a defensive is nice but not really necessary
maybe if like no cds but not really in an 18 seems like a missed block or no cd usage
Gotcha. Thanks!
I'm assuming you're managing some kind of CDs and not just SB+IP on this
sorry i'm tryna search this up but can't find it, is there another name for it or can you point me to it xd (appreciate)?
well of course rotate cds according, think took double shield wall just for saftey
figured, your messages above in response to anbokr implied it was survivable with just SB+IP which is what @civic fox was asking
in a 20 sb ip and iv should be enough to survive and not go to 10-20% is what i was saying
Hello, what's the best def rotation for hrja? and for flameheart
maybe if miss shield block in a 20 u would go to like 40-50% but theres not really alot of damage output in terms of like consistantly low if baited right
out of curiosity, what is IV an acronym for, like I said I'm normally a dps main and complete prot scrub
just tryna get a little bit better when I'm needed to tank here and there
Impending victory
my biggest issue is assuming sb + ip will carry everything
the hits are shadow damage fwiw, shield block doesn't protect you there
Hyrja if you play cdr wall talent you can line: reflect+wall/reflect+spellblock every time.
U can also full IP, def stance and demo, this took me from 100 to like 60% in a 22
Does strike twice(not sure if this is real name of that weapon) is bis for us? Or decent? Especisly with cos ring
I get that but i also have spell break
Worth to farm it?
do people normally stay battle stance for bosses in tyr 20+ or are there some bosses where sitting in dstance is apt?
I think you are suppose to pop up Def stance in proper time if you have to
ty, i was too dumb to use spell block on it 😄
If not play in battle
read pinned
but depends on you tbh
battle stance is based on like 3 things imo
if u pug and healer is meh then probs defensive for bosses. if ur with group and can call for stuff probs battle
i battle to 23 but thats my comp
Ye ppl dislike taking it in halls cause it’s basically just for hyrja, it also make dragon pulls a bit easier but these aren’t too hard even without it
TJS is probably the one exception
👆
Wow haste is sooo much better holy cow. It feels like an entirely new class with 20% haste instead of 10%
and what do you do on flamehearth?
same stuff
i think he casts a bit quicker
than herja laser or?
the jade temple slapper
oh
yeah you have to plan out several rounds of CDs for that
see discussion like 20 minutes ago above
DO u have RBL shell trink?
Somehow my it sims like omega higher on 415 over my crafted 418, need valor to make it though sadge
is better then Whetstone? im trying to see what to run
ohh
What's a good uptime for IP generally speaking?
sorry didn't know where that was going
@outer sun there's really not conclusive data on ruby whelp shell yet I don't think. There's a discord devoted to data/testing for it
I'm usually a hair above 90% uptime for IP.
like i see people running it but idk if its worth replacing whetstone yet
plus idk what buff i would take probs haste
I'm doing haste atm
I think with the set IP uptime hits 100%
Uhm So have to farm it, also ring xd have a lot of valor So.. I used only 250 So far
don't have enough personal data to say whether or not I feel it's decent
Because any dmg creates an IP
ya with 4 piece u could probably push like 95-100% depending on key level and haste
wel lets say 99%
Is 4 piece worth getting?
man I don't even have 2pc still
When the 4th set creates a IP does BV feed into it?
Ye I just also try to line a def cd with self heal:
Spell ref + iv
Wall + pot
Spell ref + last stand
Spell block + hs
U get the idea
For m+ yeah
I wish they increased the cap for valor per week, 750 is too little IMO.
2 piece is amazing imo
@earnest nymph relax come Jan 23 u will instantly be 4 piece
not true
when the converter unlocks
1 craft per week
1 piece per week
and its an account quest
its already cringe that M+ (arguably harder content than raiding) doesnt drop set
u have to do every week
I had 2pc and gave it up for a literal 40 ilvl upgrade in the chest slot
lordy
If you put in a none tier catalyst item such as a belt, can you use valor to upgrade it with the catalyst or no?
if a piece of gear comes from an upgradeable source such as pvp or m+, it can still be upgraded after catalyzing it
with valor, etc
Catalyst is not exacly changing item into set item, it is changing item i to raid item
belt is not part of the tier set though
@earnest nymph do u have the tech in AA?
If this is head lega etc it will be set item
which tech
the book boss tech?
But you still can put belt etc into it which is waste xd
Naw someone yesterday was saying u can pull all the birds in 1 pull unless it was patched
oh no clue
The non tier belt is good I think, haste/vers.
I just found out that the mana bombs on book boss can be LOS'd and then it only goes on the tank
you just pull it to one of the pillars
ye its like helpful as well
ranged player jumps off the platform and tags one of the birds
and they all snap to you
Yeah im also big fan of atal dazar
I wanna see Black Rook Hold
Oh god please no, halls of valor is pain enough
wym HoV has no mechanics
It's just too BEEFY
Too much HP on everything
trash is bit annoying
ppl cant dodge cheese balls or see color I guess
Is it bad i want MoS back?
i was so close
They blow their def cds on shit besides the rune phase
Rp, running back n forth, and then more rp
We could old school to Blackrock Caverns where pugs couldn't even avoid dying to trash on heroic back in the day
they probably get hit by a bun ch of balls and take loads of dmg an then panic mash all the DR / heal buttons they have
then die to runic brand
anybody got tips on tanking the bird boss in AA?
no balls till 55% and then dont do wind imo
Well whats the issue?
Go dwarf and have an evoker healer
^better question
just invite evoker healer simpler, i dunno what their CD is on that spell
theres not enough cd in the world to cover for the bleed
I mean there is
how do you do it
depends on key level tbh
Cauterizing Flame is a 1 min CD
fuckin, why not treat the bleed like any other hard boss like 3rd boss TJS and then space out cd's
22 double shield wall talanted and then u play with envoker or are u dwarf?
Wall, demo+full ip, dwarf/evoker clear - it’s pmuch same as ruby boss 2
Evoker bleed clear is a 2 min CD unless they stock them in stasis
you can just straight remove one bleed, so then id assume you can cycle every second bleed and you just do CD's when you have to eat the bleed
And I dislike double wall, cdr wall gets more uses in a tyr fight imo
if not u would play wall/ demo ip/ personal IV/ LS if needed
from there its just not using all DR's at once i'd have to imagine and do the 1234567 "maybe jesus" list
Run IO for rlp boss2
the bleed is every 15 seconds
whats the CD for bleed removal
1 minute
and we have druid healer
so you could remove every 4th bleed
wait you only get 1 catalyst charge per week per account not per char?
Druid healer can muscle through bleed without extra cds on a 21 in my exp
no its per char
No every char gets a charge
ok wew
but once u do the quest it opens for all chars
The quest progress is just shared
i see i see
There's just one weekly quest across account
i mean are u including the 10 seconds of the bleed dot plus 20 seconds of boss stunned into that ?
cuz that number is off by a bit
whats the typical cd if you run cdr wall?
like 1min ish?
Think so, never actually checked it but ye, on 100% rotation uptime it’s close to a min gcd
Double wall is good for expected high burst though. Like 3rd boss jade temple.
Besides that the cdr owns, 3 free extra rage per ss too
its good when you know you wont need a 3rd or 4th wall
If you really struggle u can always go omega defensive and grab avatar wall too
idk if its worth it
But it will reck your aoe dmg
ive seen a lot of logs of people just tanking it with normal setup
so they must be doing something else
im just not sure what
Externals and Giga healers
Punish also has some merit in these bosses, I only play it on tyr tank buster keys
yea idk
This is actually a big point, even a healer that’s just aware that you’re gonna be out of juice and he needs to pump you in a moment - most healers aren’t like that sadly
PvE healers
are rly nothing compraed with PvP healers
the diff in awareness and skill level is so vast
PvE healers are glorified shaman totems
I can usually SR + IP + IV one and if I don't have SR my evoker uses stagger but if the healer isn't ready to top me off it doesn't matter 😦
Died to it on 22 this week cause there was half combo into p3 (only tank buster) and healer forgot to heal me after it 😦
!
What do you think about the Ruby Whelp Shell guys? Is it good?
What ilvl for +16 you guys think?
I was already like 390 ilvl by the time m+ even dropped so I couldn’t tell ya
Damn how is that possible?
‘Superrares’ ? Crafts?
Yup
its about 3% of my overall i have trained to 6/6 aoe
I was like 385ish
We only had one spark though when m+ dropped right?
is it worth it?
I just farmed the shit out of super rates
Damn that's awesome!
depends on what else do you have
Bff with wrathion
Man I just hit 398 now lol. It's my first season though doing m+. Been fun so far!
I’m 6/6 single target, and it’ll do 3.5-4% of my overall, and static str on top of it. Don’t think it’s as insane as some make it out to be but it’s decent
I don’t raid though so my ilvl has dropped off, I’m only 403 ilvl now
good evening/morning/afternoon friends 🙂
what buff would you guys skill for your ruby whelp shell? i am thinking about the haste buff
I've done a few as fury. Seems like a good way to snag raid gear
I legit have a small orc infant family can’t commit to a raid schedule
Fair enough. That's definitely understandable
hey all. got pretty much one shot on the last boss of a nokhud +17. im still a noobie at interpreting logs, but it looks like i took sanguine damage? any idea what that was from? this was during p3, and afaik the adds on that fight dont drop sanguine
Private report, need to make it public
We’ll definitely don’t take a thunder strike to the face like that, you can reflect it
Definitely not a one shot, had 47% health with conductive strike debuffed
Yep you reflect conductive
Ya either works, the hit like a wet noodle unless paired
how do u deal with the tree boss in acadamy stacks? it slaps on higher keys
Need dispell
Reflecting the first one leaves a massive dot on the boss
You only want to reflect the conductive strike
Thunderstrike does 50k
Conductive strike does millions
Is there a known formula to know how much damage reduction a block value gives to a prot war ?
question - for high keys prot would you want to run a 415 unstable arcane loop w/ a socket or 415 jeweled sig of melandrus no socket? my other ring is the 418 crafted. Both are crit/haste rings, melandrus just has the additional autoattack damage.
sim it!
You can literally check on the "block" tooltip on your character sheet how much you block
I always have a “haul ass” tempo when it comes to tanking keys but I’ve noticed fortified are harder to time than tyrannical for me. Any tips/tricks especially with talents to be the most defensive ready tank to chain pull and keep the “haul ass” tempo for fortified trash?
ohhh thats a good point ty. I had gotten out of the habit of simming bc tank lol tyty
Just hover over it, and it'll tell you how much % you block
Sure but I want to know if it would be worth to craft the primal shield. I know its block value but not the damage reduction
are people still running the assembly guardians ring? or is that healing not really needed anymore at this point
If your shield isn't 418+, yes its worth
Shield is your single biggest contributor to your defensive toolkit
The jump from a 402 to 418 shield is over 10% dmg reduction gain
That ring (and the dps counterpart) punch well above their weight in terms of I level, but again I would sim it; the shielding tends to be decent like 8% extra healing
whether thats needed or not is a you decision
Alright thanks !
but I got both fire rings and the auto attack ring, so I just switch around between them.... but im almost always using the fireball ring and the auto attack ring cause damage
ok ya ty! the ring did 10% of my healing in a 19 court just now, seems scary to lose lol
The thing is, its shielding so it gets absorb first
was it useful healing?
or will it just be replaced by the overhealing you are doing
Hi guys quick question. Spell block should reflect all spells that spell reflection reflect right?
no, spell block lets you block spells for 20 sec
not reflect
oh i see what youre saying
Hmm right. So i should take less damage like half?
so my reco is, unless you are dealing with a dungeon or raid fight that pounds tanks (looking at you Mythic Kurog) then I would just go for damage
ok thank you, this was very helpful.
Do you guys pull the entire tree boss area on AA or do you go halfsies?
This week, hell no
unless I got a rogue who is on permenant orb duty
otherwise.... it depends on what dps I have
Didn't they fix that
its not always worth to just pull everything
I think for the little guys maybe, but its still a lot of orbs and people get overwhelemed
mentally
I pull 3 insects and 1 tree pack, after same pull and last tree pack
If you pull the whole room it’s nine orbs
its also not really worth if you dont have DPS that can make good use of the mass aoe
if ya got a affliction lock, unholy dk, destro lock or anything that just does giga mass aoe, then it may be worth to have one dps focus on orbs with the healer and let them carry
otherwise, just play it safe
Hey guys, in terms of survivability, i could upgrade lariat, shield or frostfire belt from 405 > 418, any major gain ? read about 10% dmg reduction for shield, but i am unsure
shield
100% of the time
everytime
alright, thx
lariat should be the last thing you upgrade to max
but weps and shields are the biggest gains
i am sticking to the wowhead guide and there lariat is on p1
I mean getting the lariat is big (sort of.... convinced the Jewlcrafters are running a bigger scam then the wedding ring industry)
but you dont need to upgrade to 418 first
Lariat is just a really solid crafted piece since theres a very low probability youll replace it
and the embellishment is pretty good, but its not overwhelming ahead of everything else
I got my lariat to 418 first because I got a 411 shield now time to get frostfire belt
okay, ill get the shield then, thx for help
Shield is, and always will be, the bread and butter of Prot War
good shield, good life
which shield is better? hearth or molten defender?
is it because i can't equip frostfire + lariat?
Frostfire is strong in conjuction with the raid rings
Its also pretty solid on its own
if you dont have the raid rings, its about the same as any other embellishment
idk if those default embellishments count towards the 2 max
they do
yea, I like the frostfire belt, so ive been making it on my toons.... in the hope I can sneak them into a first boss mythic kill once and a while XD
im so hard up for a ring i might craft one
Exactly lol
Do first 2 mythic raid each week then decent chance at ring
gotta get yourself one of these
Ive been holding out for a cos ring
this things better then CoS ring
Yeah no shot LC is giving me the ring over a dps
When do we ever do fire damage? Lol
Frostfire
With the belt
belt
Hi folks - is there an easy list of spells/classes that can get all lasher toxins off me?
gotta give it to all the dps that proc it naturally first
then the dps that proc it with crafted items
then the tanks
😄
Thats the hope man
was too busy vaulting icon 😄
Ive got 2 mythic raid vault options next week so wish me luck
meh?
for tyrannical keys maybe?
naw, its a solid meh tier
All-totem of the master, Decoration of flame before gift of riddance?
All-Totem is very strong for M+ (or with any high tank uptime fight)
so not for tyrannical even?
I would just sim against decroation and gift of raddiance
but decoration does have some defensive bonus in it
Can I throw ravager before demoshout/avatar and then later ticks are affected or nah?
you should try to throw ravager before; subsequent ticks should be affected by those bonuses
the best is to throw ravager, instantly charge, and then go to town
does it actually matter at all if you start on left vs riight on second boss TJS
i know about stop dps at 8 stacks go to other
it only matters that everyone starts on the same side
@ionic fern hi ily
Doubt
It is making twice dmg as spikes
All sims have embellishments around 1% so unless you suddenly have new information the rest of us don't
I used both of them, spikes did 0.7-1%
Since i have never seen my belt did less than 1.2%
And ofc im not Talking about one dungeon
I was playing with spikes for 2 weeks and nów im playing with belt second week
Larian+belt seems like Best option
or even 1 ring
Even with no rings
I have 1 ring ,could have had two, need to sparkle my weapon or get another weapon so I can make belt, just don't want to have to recraft my weapon multiple times again
I'm sure everyone who worked hard on the warrior sims will be pleased to know they can retire based off of 'not one dungeons' information
yeah that's the one I didn't take
how much haste is the max on prot ?
I asked about that on this forum before crafting it
Yes
i stack crit, but also still have 30% haste
Not sure but propably @strong forum told be to craft belt cause is solid even without ring
CRIT
Yeah belt is a decent option without ring, they all are
crit gems and enchants juicy
No one said belt is bad
going for haste vers for m+ isnt that better or is too much vers bad..?
Belt is literally not better than any other embellishment
It's only cuz it enables rings
that's lower than my fang armaments
That it's better
So that was not him xd
This
:doubt:
So nvm still beter take belt cause in future you have chsnce for ring
No stat is bad
Even if it is close there is no reason to take spikes
Cuz this is a 72k dps run
my belt in a m15 at 402
Is SR ready for every conductive though?
how do you deal with explosives? is there a preferred way/macro?
fang armaments 1% in a nok 20, with 55k overall damage, thanks to having to 4 man, last 15 min.
Not every single one, but almost
coulda been over 60 rip
533
i would say belt seems to be the most consistent from logs and stuff ive seen
but
they all do around the same
pick your posion
^
hmm, well I have heroic fire dam ring,
was going to wait for 421 weapon but that may never happen to make belt
i choose the belt because of its a belt so no tierslot
it sims lower atm even with 398 melandrus
Yeah it was only a 35ilvl upgrade for me to craft belt

So defo worth regardless of ring
Are people running spell block for jade serpent 3rd boss? 😐
Yes
yes
Tjs is the best dungeon for spellblock
I'm considering crafting chest since I mainly do m+
3rd place on dps meters
If you can get 4pc without chest, sure
wtf
i think the chest is amazing for tier 421 if the catalyst is out
is punish a straight 3% dr? or just a 3% dr against the enemy struck?
enemy struck
Catalyst is out next week yeah? I only need one more piece to have 4pc
you target them way late on this nevermind
so its insane on bosses
9-12%DR on the target you're shield slamming
Yes chef!
Eyir cooks
Yes chef!
Yes chef!
im just farming 405 crafted's tbh
16s
Yogi runs at his own pace
i gotta get my bracers to 402/405
or i'd feel slightly better if they were
how are u training your dragons for m+?
More importantly, can you retrain the dragon?
Sweet, makes choosing easier
fort RLP is a key i really struggle with apparently
hey wardaddies, quick question: I tank the adds for brood on our guild runs. We've cleared it, but I feel like I'm hanging on by my fingernails with the big bleed the dragon adds apply (2nd pack, 5th pack, and so forth). My IP doesn't seem to do much so I've been having to call for externals--especially when all adds are dead and I'm moving on to the next spawn location. Anyone have some good advice for this? Or is it meant to be a healer check?
do we keep Barbaric Training after 2 piece tier
i got 5/6 talents on aoe dmg training for my whelp
this the dmg i got on a halls 18
We don't use BT
should i train it on ST?
that's a very generic stament. Why not?
yeah but rage is not rare...
it is..
in which dungeons is SpellBlock considered mandatory for surviving? or do i take in in every dungeon?
jade
Then you get into the opportunity costs
only jade?
Higher cost on revenge means less casts overall, meaning less ss resets
By design you want to cast revenge more often because of 2p its damage gain is meh
Hitting your rage budget from the other direction
First boss of ruby it’s super helpful
but you also get 25% more damage on the free ones...
Less rage budget means less anger management cycling and outburst casts
This
I'm following that train of thought. Barbaric TRaining seems worth
Bassmu check your vanguard uptime and see if it’s high enough (85% is my understanding for our goal) and I still struggle to reach that without BT
So, we don't BT because it's a newbie trap and is lower overall DPS in *most situations
Do a key with and without. I bet you’ll find lower vanguard uptime, fewer ss, tc, and avatar casts, and the same rage over cap for the same amount of revenge damage overall if not less
Rage spent is still spent, no effect on anger management.
read more
Not running tier right now. I don't raid and my vault was not nice to me
the effect is less revenges cast, so less ss procs, so less rage gained, so less rage spent
Except the whole less rage from less ss resets
i think
I'm not defending BT, but using anger management as a reason is wrong.
it's not tho
Because our talents function in a vacuum
One could play with the same number of revenge casts if not pressing IP.
If dumping rage is the justification someone is using for BT, I'd say that rage is better spent pumping IP more.
or do
and be wrong.
or be right
So, not spending range on something you can press off the GCD
Revenge is 20 rage. For 60 rage, I can cast 3 revenges for 300% damage (100% x3). With Barbaric Training, for 60 rage I can cast 2 Revenge for 250% damage (125% x2).
where our talent build secttion?
except you can't as the gcd gets in the way
Wat

You will be able to press more Revenges over the course of the fight when it costs less.
^ this. wasting a GCD for negligible damage seems really inefficient.
Or I could spend 55 rage in 1 gcd
he's playing both sides of the gcd coin for his not defending BT defense of BT
my man is bored af
me too tho
Only if you keep pressing IP at the same rate which is not gaurenteed.
That applies whether you're using BT or not though so my point still stands


Your first assertion was that BT would cause anger management to bring avatar up less, that is incorrect is my assertion.
we know
We understand your point, it's just not how math works.
It's easy enough to take the rage used in BT from other sources of rage spent to have NO effect in overall anger management.
Well in theory, less SS resets means less rage witch means less rage spent into anger management
So actually
You are not correct
why do you assume less ss resets?
But it's not incorrect tho... taking bt=less rage gained tho because you get less ss which means you gain less rage over time which means you just have less rage to spend on ip or revenge.
Revenge is more expensive, thus pressed less
Because youre casting it less
Which means less SS resets
cause fewer revenge casts=fewer ss resets
The key press does resets
you don't have to be casting it less though
Not how much rage is spent
you do when it costs 10 more rage
Yes you do cast it less of it costs more
You're not magically generating more rage because revenge costs more 🤔
mathematically you cast it less
indeed but as it is there's excess rage (that goes into IP now) that could be used on the same number of revenge casts as non BT.
No it can not because of gcd limit
If youre rage capping with or without BT, that's not BT being efficient that's you wasting rage
you can't cast revenge the same number of times because of the gcd limit? it doesn't change when you take BT.
You're still slowing down the rage you spend
It does because you'll rage starve yourself alot more
^
one doesn't rage cap because you are pressing IP
Hokyshit

It makes a difference, you're trading a minimal dam increase for much more mitigation by moving the rage you would spend on revenge into IP.
With BT you can run into situations of low rage generation witch is bad
The entire spec is a feedback loop. Less revenges = less shield slams = less rage = less revenges
We should have a discussion about how to use IP offensively
Does any1 see ignore pain in that screenshot I must be blind
U got logs using it well tho?
Ip isn’t about resetting SS it is ONLY pressed to prevent rage cap
I would appreciate that, I'm always interested in learning new things and am by no means infallable.
If you're not proccing SS, and you're not generating extra rage because of it, you're spending rage to gain less rage
That's not good math
Even if you never press IP in your life, you will still cast less revenges if it costs 50% more over the course of a fight.
^
I disagree
without popping IP you will be overcapped all the teme
Well, you're allowed to be wrong.
You can disagree all you want you are factually incorrect based off factual data?
Go hit a dummy and play BT
That is completely irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make.
See how much IP you can actually press
The answer is: very little
You'll have literal downtime in your rotation
you can't, but the point is that with BT you can still SPEND as much rage as without, which is what anger management cares about.
Because of it
You can't spend as much rage because you're generating less and you're spending more per GCD
I've hit the dummies with BT and was always GCD locked, didn't have gaps.
fewer shield slam resets due to fewer total revenges hurts your overall rage econ
Proof or didn't happen
guys is it vers better than mastery for us?
Yes
Cause im kinda lost in the stat weight for prot
Ip is always offensive because it’s rage spent into AM
sure, but by the time I log a bunch of hits this discord will have moved on. (other than being the lone dissenter) why don't you prove your side with logs?

hmmm
But not enough you avoid mastery
ur right
IP procs anger management, feeds into avatar CD reduction, turns it DPS
You're the one that made the claim that goes against the status quo dude
Outburst
Big nums
ur right ur right
Well yer this too
so mastery is ok but at least how much vers ?=
i press IP even in trivial single target content so ig im doing something right
the low cost allows you an extra "roll" on proccing SS
There is no minimum requirement for any stat
Ilvl
Just stack ilvl > haste and you Gucci
ok ok ill try im kinda new in tanking

not wrong
165%
so i just got whetstone, what kind of dps is that doing to justify not having mainstat?
I thought you could only get like
a lot
3.5k
We don’t need that kind of negativity in here
In m+
You want all the haste
Go 0 and block stuff
^

does alltotem do fire dmg?
My heroic all-totem does ~2.5k dps in just raw dmg + whatever the procs grant me
is it decent for ring proc purposes?
Nome also pulls like a crazy person
I won't be pulling anything anytime soon anymore
Why
5tank is dead

Nooooo
😦
Literally don't have a reason to log on anymore
5 tank gives me life though
Wat

Welcome to Nomeratur
No I mean why's 5tank ded
Personal
Reroll NA Nome, and then you, Steve, and his friend will be 3/5
Then just need 2 more
I'd be down
Na 5tank is slowly in the works
Not by me tho
I'm on an indefinite wow break
Great way to waste the 12month sub
Does anyone have a decent route for AV by any chance?
This is almost as bad as that time Sense ran bdk for the MDI

Why would you even bring that up
Because it was a traumatic experience
We're in enough pain right now
why is lariat better than the defensive neck ? we dont need to be more defensive ?
tf is a defensive neck 👀
Tf is defensive
i saw a neck giving shield
Is poo
I miss him already.
How often are yall in battle stance vs defensive stance in high keys?
99-100 % of the time
99% of the time
99% in battle?
65/35
Guys removing Thunderlord desyncs demo shout with avatar, do we just use them on cd?
b>d
Def stance is a cooldown not a way of life
CDs on CD
Unless you need Demo for a specific mechanic
And the one that reduces ravager cd by 30 sec? Same we use ravager without avatar if it becomes ready?
I only go Defensive for specific bosses. RLP 1st & 2nd boss, TJS 3rd boss are good examples.
Anyones ignore pain tracker WA just break today?
Ok thanks
Waiting for CDs to line up is a rage and dmg loss
Can't reduce the CD on Avatar if it's not on CD
The only time you don't send things is when shit is about to die
Or you hold them for a very specific burn
is there patch or sth that gonna add 10% dr to avatar?
Nope
There's a talent
Datamine bug
aww
Its been data mined since beta
Every single time
And every single time it's wrong
didnt make sense tbf
Would be kind of redundant anyway since you get Shield wall from Avatar with that talent.
daym
But then again
Blizz and having correct patch notes would also be new
But, that thing is not mentioned in the official patch notes
So it's very safe to assume that it's still the same datamine bug
uncapped valor 
one can dream
Should i use execute as prot war?
yes
hey, i cant seem to find any estimate on the set bonus value. neither 2p nor 4p. any input? ty
2pc big value 4pc huge value in m+ okay on ST
3-4% dmg + Dr gain on 2pc
4pc is hard to put a number on, but it's very good in aoe
No, only 3+ minute CDs reset with key start
No, it's not a long enough CD to reset with the key I don't believe; has to be 2 min minimum
it got changed late in bfa to 2+
its 3 or higher
Ah
or SL
While I’m trying to figure out how to log, what’s the expected cd on avatar? Around 45 sec?
nah
35-45
I think
i got 3 pieces from LFR and would lose
13 ilvl on head
10 ilvl on shoulders
16 ilvl on hands
compared to my non-set gear. Is it worth it to go for 4p? (I got 415 ilvl tier chest from vault, that one is my best either way).
Or do I rather go 2p with chest+shoulders?
What kind of level of keys
16-18 atm
The higher you go the better 4pc becomes
makes sense
More value the more IP drops right?
ur done w s1? 
the band is breaking up?
Any tips for jade serpent. She is hitting me like an absolute truck. Running out of cooldowns on green phase.
Pins
How come some folks are running the bleed damage over TL in high keys? Is it simply just for extra damage?

Checking them thanks!
because they dumb
but also TLs bad
Oh?
there's a lot of talents to take over TL and bloodborne isn't one of them
I'm still learning the talent business
unless literally the only thing you care about is a tiny percentage increase to damage in huge aoe situations
Does shield block mitigate the entire dmg from the Jade Strike from Flameheart and just heal off the dot? or it is all magic based attack
what about in raids
all her special attacks are fully magic
the only thing you block on 3rd boss TJS are her melees
unless you activate spell block, then you block the initial hit dmg, it does nothing against the dot
shit alright, did an 18 last night without spell block and healing that fking absorb with the fire dot was insane
the dot is always the same unless you use CDs other than spellblock
the only thing spellblock does is reduce the first nuke
we ended up swapping one of the dps to DK just to death strike the dot cause the healer couldnt heal me through it so annoying
unluck
felt bad
curious, damage mitigation abilities like wall reduce dot damage aswell right?
Yeah it’s super ouch. If your healer isn’t amazing and dps takes too long during that phase you literally just run out of everything.
gotta save CDs till that phase
ya it does
Dunno if this is basic but do you hold to combine with thunderous roar and/or ravaged or press on cd?
might just run shield block x2 for that then
The amount of declines i get lately 🥹
spell block is still amazing for that last pack tho with dark claws but ya thats unfortunate how shit on we get for that pull
What would I replace TL with?
battering ram most likely
share your loadout and we can check it out
oh shit yeah
CDs on CD
always combine
send it all
yeah it's reasonable to lust that pack and just chain your cds, a couple should be dead before you run out
usually you lust 3rd boss 70%
and i doubt youll have it back for that pack
unless you dont need lust on 3rd boss
https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/protection/DAPAURUVUkRRARpFRRBBNVUVEVFRFVYVUQDQRA just been using this really pretty new to warrior and such still tryna learn what talents I can switch around and such
on fort weeks i've currently been lusting first pull and then aiming for that pack, tyrannical weeks would rather lust 3rd boss yeah
I’m confused then, roar and ravager are 1.5 min, if you alternate them you still can’t press them with avatar at 35 sec unless you hold for 10s
avatar lasts for how long?
20s
ya we spent like 10mins whiping on the fight even with hero, bad CD management, me not having Punish didnt help also
So only line them up if they align naturally? Otherwise just go? Thanks.
WE tried hero on 1 of the phases too, we just spent too much time in that fkin phase
ravanger will come up in the last 10 seconds with avatar up
if you can press stuff on cd youre playing the class at like 98 % efficiency
with what you mentioned above
just got this 0.0
Press w
w
get ready to blast
see ikari predicted me
Pin this ultimate guide to protection
or ordered me?
If everyone has in a group of 30
Wouldn't it make sense to execute some guy
xd
For the greater good
than CR idk
it is an insane prog trinket yes
i don't have one, guess you just do it on pull in m+?
dont need to block because everything would be dead if 30 people used it
haste

What ability are you guys using to help kill orbs
U snipe the far ones with throw
i post details reports of explosives kills to shame people who arent getting orbs
im using dynamic overall explsovie orbs plugin
R3 enchants are finally coming down in price. Do we go frozen or sophic?
Well alrighty then
Even for raid?
Enchants, what're those
for raid you can just sim
did yall know you can los the mana bomb and the dance on AA elemental boss?
like it just completely negates it
Was about to say, the sim gods still tell me frozen
I was told this so I tried it on my evoker and got slapped
yea i was just told this and idk if i want to try it
so are you sure 100% it doesnt work?
Thanks now they'll nerf that too
wait so this actually works?
Maybe I misunderstood and you need to LoS before it even goes out but I got the circle went to LoS and died
oh yea you need to los as hes casting
so what's the tech on dark claw? It can be dodged?
Spell block or spell reflect
SR
Reflect spell block
Stun, wall and then pray
ah ok, so no dodging then, thanks all!
Wait
Don’t sync it
do bleed damage count as magical damage lol
nop
ye
wait so why cant brew stagger bleed?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the wording on stagger says 'attacks'
bleeds are considered magical for brews
so maybe it just refers to direct hits, whether physical or magical
huhhh
nah, thats a very specific thing for them
also fwiw stagger applies to magic dam as well so it's not that
so its considered as magical for brews therefore cant be staggered. but its considered physical for war so it cant be spell reflect dr'd
no, it does get staggered, but at a reduced rate, its phyiscal for everyone else
It's not considered magical ever, it's just staggered at the magic rate for brew
^
thats lame
You could be a dwarf
or i could be a dk
bloodshield is stonks
Spell reflect
demo shout
spell reflect and demo
gotcha
Demoralizing shout
honestly i just type full names lol
its way easier to read
like wall
reflect
demo
Don’t forget about dn
i have no idea what that is lol
"full names" abbreviates
deez nuts
impending victory last stand
last stand i think?
DeezNutz 
whats IV
impending victory
guess the last 3
its HOV TJS AA
lol
i really should do some AA though but i get ptsd from bird boss
Yah bird boss alone is no joke still
drop me some necrotic
necrotic sucks
does anyone know the DF calculations of how much HP a point of stam gives? or is it impossible and has like dimishing returns
Necrotic sucks for babies who cant leap away
necrotic is anti tank
its not fun to tank it
omg guys time to run for the 10th time this dungeon
brb
Sanguine makes u move more than necrotic does
yo question, how do you guys handle 3rd boss Jade in high keys?
necrotic was better than spiteful, although it would suck in AA
@gilded ore rotate cooldowns
latest version of necrotic was legit no affix
move away for 5 secs ez gg
impending victory
Hi! Is damage from reflected ability affected by my damage increases? For example, battle/def stance, or damage from orbs on 2nd boss Nokhud
No
No
wasnt it sanguine the prev tyra week too
the only thing thats out of ordinary is you dont charge back after the aoe
you kite a lil bit
give your healer more time
Thank you!
anyone play vulpira know how much dmg/healing their racial does?
using your defensives in rotations
other than that just pray
thats some good tips thanks guys
also mark your healer
so you dont run to the opposite side
i died to that once never again lol
couple million per key
When I was Vulpera would do like 5-7% overall healing in a dungeon. Such a good race I miss my little guy sometimes
if youre not pandaren u suck
I am TROLL YA MON LOL
Anyone know what the go to route for AV is with the nerfs? Particularly whatever most pugs would be used to at 20ish keys? Don't really have the luxury of seeing what other pug tanks are doing and most streamers are all running different things.
