is it just me or was pugging never worse than now?
Did they change the Omen of Death ability on Ner'zhul ? We used to bait it far from the group with a single caster being far from the group. But during our last run, we had multiple casts in melee instead of range.
Many kicks required. People suck at kicking. It's pretty shit.
toss in explosive and dps expecting it to be solely healer/tanks job to hit them ever and yeah, pugs are gonna be ruff
If you have more then one ranged they all need to be out baiting
Oh so it's not about distance, it's about class ? Thanks !
if you have 3 melee? Its always going on healer. If you have 2 melee, it always goes on the only ranged. If you have 2 or more ranged? its random.
That's really good to know, thanks !
Is there any point in going battle stance? This is kind of unclear to me, 10% damage vs 3% crit seems like it wouldn't be good no?
View it as a defensive cooldown. its 15% damage
you gotta be in battle stance 99% of the time
For me D stance is for bird boss and Boulder lady....maybe ice whelp lady too
Is there some kind of ilvl to key level comparison anywhere? i recently leveled and revisiting lower keys with a bit more gear (380 rather than 340) and its a totally diferent experience. Reaching 14s in 380 i feel things starting to hit hard again - i realize its possible and i should improve , just wondering where the ilvl key ranges sit in terms of mitigation vs scaling (rather than skill level, CC, group play etc)
Then I've been tanking very wrong, then again only just started playing prot.
Its 15% damage reduction. If you feel you need it perma? You sit it in perma. If not? Its just like any other cooldown such a shield wall. About to take a big tank buster? You press it and then go back.
Yes but defensive stance gives 10% damage increase while battle stance gives a 3% crit chance increase. This is what I was confused about.
At least that's what my tooltip says
Pretty hard to say on an personal basis. It will come down to your skill rather than gear. Just look at naowh tanking 20s naked.
Its a 10% DEcrease.
Def stance reduces the damage you do
Its 15% damage reduction from defensive stance, while also doing 10% less damage. with the 3% crit, it equates to about 14% more damage.
wait I need to go back to school to learn English again
reading is hard lmao
thanks for pointing out I'm stupid hahaha
also thanks for help, problem with me being stoopid solved
It happens to everyone 😛
I’m not ESL and I can barely read English lol
Well it's not my native language
what's our best phial for m+?
But stances don't have any effect on rage generation?
Nope
like 10%+ good
yeah also nice to not nerf whetstone by 10%
wait, whetstone got nerfed?
although personal buffs rarely affect trinkets
Does prot warrior have any talents/passives that will proc execute?
sudden death
also you can search "execute" in talents to find everything that interacts with it
same for other ability interactions
thank you! ❤️
do you recommend me eye in the storm phials or versa ones for m+ ?
Eye
worth picking disrupting shout in rlp to try and group stuff quicker when trying to avoid pulling an extra drake?
You don't need it to avoid drakes
Just learn the way flamegullet moves you'll be fine
just so hard to get on the platform mid pull in my pugs since they don't use interrupts
Are you skipping storm dragon?
Honestly not really worth to skip, you just lust it on Fort
don't have a set route
It's completion efficient as far as ST mobs goes
And it was nerfed
Flamegullet worth skipping but Thunder dragon is pretty easy if your healer has a pulse
Thunder dragons pathing is also horrendous
Much easier to butt pull it at like 6 points on it's route
do you have the patrol route of the fire guy?
just look it up on yt - the skip is pretty easy
The easiest way to avoid it is do the right pat and first right elemental pack when you come up
Also helps with lust timing on fort
Then you turn, do storm and go around circle
Makes it so once your 4th ele is dead you can just book it through fire drags spawn once he lifts up (which is the far right side ele from the boss orientation)
Standard route you'll want to grab his little fire eles as you pass through and don't stop until you're close to boss
damn, thanks for that
About jade serpent p2 pandaren lady, im colorblind and can barely see the waves go off in p2 only. Should i heroic leap inside while it goes off?
Which should I recraft to 405? 🤔
shield
I saw that
nah

Yes, if you want to die 🙂
tbf it uses a very similar picture as a belt im using so yeah i glanced and replied
Stand inside boss. She throws her stupid fire bullshit based on where the closest person is when the circle appears. Then just run at an angle and you'll be safe.
I'm not colourblind, that shit is just really hard to see and react to imo
huh.
That helps
Cheers for this

so it's just compass directions with one of them pointed at the closest player?
It's toward the player and a cross from there
If you were on Stormreaver...
would anyone be willing to review some of my logs, please?
We never pass an opportunity to point out others failings.
AHEM I mean, sure
Is this a "how do I do more damage" or "I'm getting murdered whatsup"
how do i play better
i have a general how do i do more damage
press shield slam instead of revenge
is it press revenge more
Is it worth getting a crafted 405 ring? my current lowest item is this stupid 382 blaze ring
hm?
4pc was a scam
why?
i thought it meant press revenge more
no
your CPM is low, youre not pressing your buttons often enough
rend should NEVER be your top dmg
never ever
literally all of your main buttons arent being sent enough
It's his build as well
revenge, shieldslam, thunderclap and ignore pain
it's just a bit off
for example, in my 37min NO21
i had 55 avatar casts
you only had 38 casts in 38 minutes
that alone is a massive difference
ITF was only about 40% uptime at 5stacks
So HR would be a step up
Bolster isn't needed
BLock uptime isn't shabby though, 79%, so another 10-15% there for a gold star
Ok thanks guys
This key sucked ass cause we had 0 knocks
hey nomer do you ever drop shockwave in keys
i haven't done it yet but thinking about it every now and then
You need to use SW more
And was running around 24/7
in my comp i could've gotten away with not playing shockwave
but in normal groups id never not play shockwave
unless it was 100% communicated with the group that it wasnt needed
yeah like i think in nokhud you can drop it for sure
and be pretty chill
as long as you have people to stun the horn guys before first
you don't really need it for much else
nokhud is one of the keys where shockwave is insanely strong tho
there is so much shit to stop
24/7
You're leaning on LS more than SW, LS is a "Meh" CD at best
especially around 3rd boss
not just cones
literally everything
deathbolts, necrotic eruptions, frontals, swift wind
SS should be like 14ish CPM?
fucking deathballs
Any idea why this sim is telling me that my current gear is a DPS increase? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5howZM9rbhVBEigKBBMbpp
Margin of Error
order
order?
the order of trinket use
I'm pressing ls to not have to worry about sb
matters
Run HR and press SS more
SB becomes a not thing
you can compare your log with mine
i did 78k dps in that nokhud if you count spellreflect
without SR i did 73.6k
Yeah, but why hr, isn't itf strictly better if sb uptime is good?
?
But isn't the order of the trinket the same as what I have equipped?
If you can assure 5 stacks the majority of the time
Shit tons of rage wasted on that log too
yeah but your SB uptime isnt good
So ITF is good if you can maintain the stack cap 80%~ of the time and have 36ish% haste unbuffed
ok, you blocked 91% of melees
he's ok
but playing ITF is so unsafe idk
on that front
its at best a 7% aoe dps gain
@strong forum So with that sim it's telling me to fire off Grieftorch first, then use the windscar?
much less if you cant guarantee 5stacks of ITF
ye
you just use grieftorch before CDs
to not waste anything
SO key points,
More buttons pressing, just in general you're not pressing buttons. SS > TC > REvenge for GCD, hit IP more, you overcap and that's WITH the expanded cap
How do I tell the sim to do that then?
Ok thanks alot
I guess it's kind of weird that it's telling me that
I figured since that's the gear I have on it would be a +0
You also left CDs off CD, PRESS THE BUTTON
ya idk whats going on there
SW is a 50s CD with fast play
Running Thunderlord you hsould have a ton more DS casts as well
either put the taletn in a better spot, or remember to slap DS
BUt you have the cornerstone down
yeah youre not putting thunderlord to use at all
91% blocked hits is solid
i dont play with TL and have the same uses as you do
youre literally wasting an entire talent point there
Just saying he has overwhelming rage as well
I suppose
and yeah, youre still overcapping almost 15% of your rage
when it should be closer to 1%
Overwhelming rage can hypothetically be a dps up
ye
This means hammer that IP button
Just that the 2 points can be hard to fit
It's a utility point for QOL
Intervene or bitter iirc
Game feels unplayable without stride
yeah
I'm in that boat for sure hah
Warrior without stride is like "shit, am I on my DK?"
And pain and gain is still minor hps
Evening folks - I've looked through the pins and dug around a few other places but haven't been able to find a weakaura or plater profile that will let me know what to do with boss abilities (reflect, block, tank bust) (in M+ I don't raid) does anyone know of a WA or plater profile that does such a thing? Thanks!
85-95
thats extremely complex, way too complex to display
beauty ty - good to know I'm not wasting time. Typically I rely on memory but I'm geting old
anything thats a shot with a bow or a swing with a weapon/fist is usually blockable
anything that sounds like frostbolt/firebolt and is single target and targeted at you, is usually reflectable
Moral of the story is press SB when in combat
those are the basic rules of thumb for those scenarios
Question on rage management. Is there any tips or trick to it? I find myself overlapping a lot. Is there like a min amount or rage you try and keep and anything above that just hit rev/ip? Or just constantly dump?
press IP
Its off GCD
Constantly dump unless it'll make you unable to refresh Shield Block
just slap IP
dont drop below 30 rage unless you know better
spam the fuck out of IP if you run into danger of capping rage
use revenge as a tool to reset shield slam
my WA turns red when I'm over 65 rage
Thanks!
Hm I find I’m not hitting revenge enough I feel. I actually always feels gcd constraint dunno why
Do you guys spend SR procs on TC in aoe?
Good idea I think I’m going to add this too
Sweet.
yeah, Reveng is just what you press when SS and TC are not available
to try and reset SS (and do some damage)
seeing on the talent builds that tough as nails got replaces by spell block recently, does it help on some particular tyrannical bosses or just overall a better choice?
m+ that is
Talent builds where?
m+ subcreation
There are a few dungeons where it's worth taking Spell Block
Outside of that it's not worth it
just depends on the dungeon, it's a niche use ability
I'd say so too, now its like 90% of the builds on the site, perhaps im reading it wrong thanks
How am I supposed to tank the last boss on Vault?

around the edges of the room
and keep running away from the orbs when they get close
Do I stand still or move him?
Just heroic leap away or walk and build up the debuff?
Aids boss
awful boss
Orbs should only ever chase healers
for most of the fight you can usually just leap and flip the boss 180 when orbs get close to keep him in place and still dodge, but if you're unlucky you'll eventually just have to kite a bit
Cool thanks for the tips
@white harness where are you getting the talent builds from?
Orbs should only ever chase momentum DH
orbs shouldnt exist
Idk why I’m running this instance it’s not fun at all
LOL
AV is awful
That too
First boss is like 2nd boss of Underrot but they somehow made it worse
er, 3rd boss of UR
I’m just trying to get a 2H to mess with arms off spec when it gets buffed
Mushroom boy
First boss is fairly simple aslong as you don't have a lot of bugged trees
that just don't die
ngl AV is kinda growing on me with the 3-bosses-back-to-back meme route
but mostly for the novelty of the route being completely meme 
Mushroom boss was way worse
third boss sucks
it’s boring and you either win or lose
This man spittin'
I can't stand 2nd boss lmao
i need to get it on like a 14-15 for rating
I was trying to cap this KSH this week but god the affixes burn me out
the seasonal mount just requires KSM achievment or all dungeons +15 also?
Just ksm
Where are the coming nerfs listed? cant find anything for prot here: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/news/23892227/dragonflight-1005-content-update-notes
Totjs, lust jade phase or last boss?
does Revenge kill Explosives if i have it target when i cast it? 🤔
or can i only kill Explosives with SS?
No
You can only kill them with auto attacks, shield slam, shield charge and heroic throw
Shield Chargng an explosive is big sad
And i guess wrecking/shattering throw too, but lmao
you can only cast aoe on explosives if it requires a target and it’s the primary target (eg brm keg smash works)
rip
shield slamming an explosive is also big sad
feel like we are kinda bad at melee Explosives then
If you're at a point where you're using aoe abilities, you can just target them while pressing revenge/tc
No
Vdh is even worse at explosive
you can hamstring/slam them also
So your autos will get them
like regular ass boring slam
Since you don't need to target the actual mobs for those, you only lose aa damage
wait hamstring works?
it does damage and its targetted.
aren't they 1 hp?
might be, didnt notice 😄
prot pally with blessed hammer was prolly the worst at explosive 
since its tryannical week
idk if I need so much talents on revenge
im thinking Sudden Death + Battering Ram
instead SoF + Thunderlord
SoF still more overall dmg I think
thunderlord to battering ram is an easy choice
y
SoF for Sudden Death idk rly
desyncing shouts from ur cds is wack
i never run Thunderlord after i swapped to Battering Ram
thunderlord is GARBO
Im also thinking immovable object
i had a guy tell me that he liked Thunderlord because he doesnt see Demo Shout as a dmg CD, he sees it as a high uptime defensive CD
?
you dont rly "wall better" you just get free wall when you Avatar
which doesnt always line up with when you need it
it does with little managing
how do you guys deal with the tree boss' lasher DoTs?
Avatar should be used on cooldown
get dispelled
if you do 1 Shockwave on all the Lashers, your DOT wont stack up insanely
1.5 min trash
but healer should be specced into Poison dispel
is it considered poison?
Tyrannical week ez
yes, some healers can dispel it if they talent for it
Shaman cant though, so dont invite Shamans to AA without a DPS priest or something like that
squint
Tyra week act half the dungeon health pool might be in bosses
???
i just use same talents
i dunno what ur issue is lol
^
Anyone tried selling 60-70 carries in cobalt as prot?
U know mages switch specs based off tyra vs fortified right
we're mages now?
most DPS classes do
but are you a DPS class?
or a tank?
shit bro I can respec now
titanic throw let's go baby
only thing i respec for is Temple
we kiters
these guys are going for completion instead beat timer
Idk if I should build defensive instead than
meh no threat anyway
moved stance button from N to V
much more accessible
i love having everything timed on 18+ some on 19
but still not getting invited to peoples 18+ keys 😄
https://gyazo.com/765c7f678cf23a7c09020a4d45e47c05 Opinions on the stat weights atm?
more haste is always better from my xp
stat balance matters so little
just chase ilvl upgrades, choose haste when identical
or gems/enchants etc
iv been looking at haste>vers>mast>crit as priorities otherwise
crit = vers
vers and crit might as well be equal, mastery lags behind
2nd bossi in rlp is such a pain, how do you properly bait? frontal behind/sides of bossi and add similar?
any direction you're not planning to walk
sides or behind boss, so long as it's not exploding on terrain
2nd boss just targets furthest person for the add right?
they're probably talking baiting for boulder
Add is based on ranged. They never bait it well.
Most groups don't even bait the boulders well.
Okay I feel stupid but....didn't Thunder Clap have 2 charges for Prot as well as other specs?
no more keys for yogi, that's a lie, but , i dion't really want to do more now
die to dumb stuff
we have had explosives all week so far, and for a long time on the rotation, i dunno how you don't kill the explosives
fuck crawth and his peck

thank you
i might just start putting on d-stance for the entire of shit bosses that kill me
some fights just take so much more than another
jesus christ the bleed on last boss Nokhud slaps on Tyran
when do i spell reflect for the elemental boss on NO? can't seem to get it right tbh
when you run out of melee range
he casts Wind Burst or something
3m dmg on the last boss with it though
You have time to see him start the wind burst cast, so you can wait until he's actually casting it so you don't get spell queued or something
ye sometimes you run out, and he doesnt cast it cus hes in the mid of a Storm cast fx
Tier gear is the best to put my valor into right?
with 4pc do you think it'll be worth running the heal off of deep wounds talent rather than the add to Ignore pain in the choice node?
since your uptime on ignore pain through the tier set is pretty juiced
I have found pugging yhis week to be x5 worse than other weeks and i dont understand why
i think its the explosive
between trying to interrupt, tunnel dps and move from bad people forget explosive or the latter
bait add in front of boss boulder behind
sanguine artificially inflates timers too lets not lie to ourselves
more uptime = more value from Ignore Pain talent
3rd a brew monk? i seen their dam rn jeeeeez
its literal like blizzard puts oil on the tracks and then you crash your lap t8me is longer so its harder and more fun.....
not quite how what i said works...
I was primarily thinking since the 4pc is like a baby version of that talent anyways but i've been too nervous to test 😭
Bros I need a break from maghar. What race looks good for warrior besides Orc
the deep wounds talent kinda sucks though
so not worth
basically not gnome or fox ismy vote
Thats a shame ty for the info tho c:
whats the idea behind 4 tanks?
just for fun or what?
my problem of telling "low dps tanks" to go dps, is that they will just do low dps dps
meanwhile the high dps tanks will do high dps dps
if that makes any sense 🤣
on avg when im in raid, i add about +15k dps to our avg raider, doesnt matter if im tank or dps...
our current tank is doing like 25k dps in Raid
while i do like 40k
and our avg dps do like 40k dps, while i do 55k in Arms 😄
My experience has been the same. Explosives kill any big pulls I want to do because healer(or anyone else) can’t kill all the orbs in time. So I try to chain pull, but then get yelled at by dps to pull more. So I pull more and then we all die to explosives.. rinse and repeat. I am done for the week
what key levels?
13+ tbh
13-15
just keep going
you will get good grps eventually
have 0 problems with Explosive in my +18s today
That must be nice 
the point is
sanguine can healthe samw big dragon to full 4 times, he wipes the party and then everyone gives up and leaves
the key to explosives imo is communicating with your healer early
even if you dont time a key, it might be some people failing a few times here and there
ask if they're okay to do most or if they need help
I’ve done about 10 keys and gained literal 20 pts in IO
if you just keep going, you will get a lucky grp eventually
if they need help then you can go from there
thats possibility too, not likely but ive seen dumber shit happen mid key
i just heroic throw whenever they have the right distance
otherwise i let DPS do it
Yeah this is a good point- I need to do this
thats just other players mistakes
that happens in any key
people fuck up from here and there
its normal, and human behaviour
just keep going forward, and youll get there in the end
untiming a key does not mean people are shit
just means they made a mistake
you cant play 100% flawless runs every time
very logical way to think about it
Yeah but man i think I timed 2 out of 10-12 keys
BRUTAL
i stopped thinking like "someone inting my key" and rather think "oh a small mistake, hope this wont happen next time"
I’m not a leaver either, I’ll stick it out
learn from mistakes
what im feeling towards current wow is an its me not you situation
I did an Academy 10 cause I’m trying to get the 2H from it and it was an absolute nightmare. Now@I won’t go below 16. The higher the key the better the run most times
im not getting accepted for much higher than 14 atm for pugging
1800 rating 395 but no dice there
you have a key yourself though
its great game but itsboring, and i dont mean the bad boring like shadowlands
its a good type of boring if anything
then ull be warmed up
Yeah I’m not hardcore gamer like the rest of y’all probably are, but I timed 20 last season of SL and it was probably the smoothest run I’ve ever done 
And the highest
usually higher up means people have tried the dungeons many times
so they know their way around
Yeah that makes sense. I try not to get mad at depletes, but when your 13min overtime on a 13 key, that is tiresome
i will likely stop wow when sub is up
How many hours You play a day?
Another thing that helps is knowing when something goes wrong to wipe and go again sometimes you lose more time trying to fix a mistake than you'd lose just quickly resetting
just had a 10minute overtime for NO 13...
we got to 3rd boss with like 16-18 minutes and wiped like 7 times..
3rd boss???
Yep. Also, if you pug 100% like I do, plan your route with all butt pulls in mind. No fancy “walk in between these two packs”
damn, that's not one of the bosses i see people struggle on
i only just learned today they get a damage buff if they're apart 😭
Trinket opinion: I have Blazebinders Hoof, 411, (use) Whetstone 402, (use) and All-totem of the Master 408. Should i use two on-use trinks do u think?
Just learned this now 😂
o_o;
Although I always charge the arrow shooter when she leaps away
So the other dude follows me
I normally just keep them together bc monkey brain like big cleave number
use whetstone + all totem
we wiped to Gale arrow a lot. DPS kept dying to that
but i dps'd one earlier and got slapped by the bow womans quick shot
or the earthbreaker from the boss
Honestly never wiped on that boss
the real reason i gaveuo tonight is because i did 13 hov, we got to hyraj, and she hit me for 327 k with kb attack, i have about 425k before buffs
That’s the reason your quitting?!
did you use a cooldown
Did you press shield reflect?
my guy you have IP, shield wall, SR, demo, maybe spellblock
Shield reflect is fine for me- I think I’m around 425k hp
Doesn’t hurt at all
But also I’m in d stance
speaking of spell block i'm just letting jesus take the wheel in my 15-17 range but finally have the time to commit to some m+ pushing, what dungeons warrant the spell block talent? i was thinking AV and maybe RLP
av rlp tjs hov
winners never quit and quitters never win. Just remember that.
I legit have more untimed keys this week than timed. Pugs are just rough at times and sometimes its your fault. Don't put too much weight on it.
Tanking can be the single most stressful thing in wow
Watch me quit on next weeks affixes
I get on average one death threat/told to die of "x" reason a month lol
tjs fer shur
Sometimes you can play perfectly but anyone can make a small mistake and bam next thing you know everyones dead and you're being called slurs by the outlaw rogue
Yes and they're so ignorant to their own constant mistake but you do one little fuckup? one mispull or w/e, the sky is falling for some people. Its equally sad and hilarious, wow is weird like that.
You're not allowed to quit. I dont want to imagine a wow without you in it 😦 ❤️
Ya boi doin 4 dungeons and callin it a week
what even is it next week?
haven't even looked at next weeks affixs
Fort bolster
ugh
and storming gross
Hecker like nokhud with a miniboss in every single pack
both bolster and raging feel so unrewarding, you're about to kill it, you can finally breath and nope sorry, get fucked xD
i'm just thankful theres no inspiring this time round with how many nasty kicks there are
so with the warrior nerfs and the week of affix's we just throw wow in the bin?
I don't think the warrior nerfs will end up being that huge tbh
I'm just gonna reroll my 2nd warr. I feels he's going to be stronger.
I want them to buff prots damage >:c
Brew master monks out here doing more damage than some DPS specs 😭
I think i will level my mage, wait an hour to get in a key, talk shit on the tank 10 min into the dungeon, and then leave 
People invite mages? 😒
you’re right- I’ll level my warlock
i'd be content with brew taking the fotm spotlight, let em have it and leave us alone.
i don't think i've seen a single prot paladin or Vengence DH when i've pugged keys as dps
pally is pretty fun tbh and feels pretty strong. Its a bit more spikier than warr but it also has a tool for almost any situation, just bubble, spellward, bop, freedom etc, it feels pretty nice
its a crazy thought i know, it really is...but... some crazy weirdos like myself play the game because its fun
Must be fun not being able to join groups xd
I almost always run my own keys so wouldnt notice anyhow
plenty of people join me though
https://gyazo.com/29869e23e42d094bbb01728fe47e7439 Fun team comp
at least you got lust covered 😄
one for each boss almost
inb4 they randomly just fat finger it
test levels off the charts.
When do we get a warr healing spec with shouts man
that team could be 5 warrs
fkn shame
how high are people going without 2-4 set?
i was doing 14's without 2 set
Can do 20+ without it
I’ll say it again bc not everyone knows, on hyrja, you can hit IV as you get knocked from her shield blast, much less stressful on the healer
You could absolutely do a 20 without set
tier much bigger deal for dps then us.
What was glad stance like
memes
so the IP/Damage reduction doesnt really make a change to much?
Basically what tanking as a prot warrior is right now
no, theres very few bosses that we are genuinely threatened by.
Currently doing 22-23s the last week and this week on a basically fresh swap pwar
Picked up 2 set
But no 4 yet. The test for timing keys is entirely route, positional and DPS atm
also healer skill.
ok, thanks just im struggling to get teir since everyone wants it i currently only have 1 set is all
but healer can't be a troglodyte
then im doing something wrong im no way near 40-50k dps
AV and HoV can be DPS limited
at 398
yes, sorry i should specify those two are outliers with very tight timers.
Missed a 22 HoV by 12 seconds earlier with 3 deaths 😭
DH would just blow CDs then instadie to non threat issues
Then not release
nah im making a joke all DH players are room temp IQ

tank?
my dh does this on purpose now to test my reaction time
Hey, what are the best ways to spend spark?
i wanna make my own frostfire belt but noooooooooooo recipe doesnt drop
Almost how my first 17 looked on warrior haven't never figured out voidslash actually hurts on highers keys. Wasn't instant deleted but not very far from it
weapon shield lariat and whatever non-tier pieces that you're missing. frostfire belt if you have raid rings
Bet ty
Can you sidearm shit not in combat with you?
allknowing Stevegod. Will sparks be the currency for creation catalyst?
nah no new currency for it
just do a weekly quest
finish quest, get a charge for each of your characters
1 charge a week
correct. also crafted gear cannot be catalyst'd
only m/r gear?
yup
and primal infused or trophy gear
So whats the consensus on which phial is better out of the vers and primary stat
eye in the storm for fort or target heavy places like hov/aa, low target/tyr its vers or elemental chaos yep.
or corrupting rage if you have a mixed relationship with your healer
what would you guys say the best horde racial is for prot?
love annoying my healer
goblin jump, arcane torrent, nose for trouble. its all minor or situational gains tho
maghar would be pretty decent right?
the secondary onuse isnt any stronger avg stat than others like orc, panda, troll. but if you think they look pretty, have at it tbh
whats the best healer to take for storm boss in nohkud
everytime we get a druid they cant heal through it
idk
maybe dps arent using defensives during storm
just always seems like someone dies during it
can also be DPS hijacking orbs that healer should be grabbing, too
the increased healing can make getting through the storm a lot easier
yeh, healers also sometimes just don't get orbs which is wild to me
if healer isnt grabbing orbs its a heck. if ppl are grabbing orbs too soon and resetting their stack, its a heck
that must be it
i knew i was picking up too many orbs
but really i shouldnt be
im having to move out into wind range because there are like 6 orbs coming at boss on my side and everyone is on the other side for some reason
Any consensus on ruby whelp shell
it's ok
I would rally the first storm. After that, healer should have full stack.
You can Spell Reflect wind
Big dam
whats your guys' go to strat for last boss in NO? how to deal with the adds
CC one side
tell your team to spread out around the boss
I would say chest with more ILVL no doubt
My thoughts also 20k hp plus main stats hard to bead
beat*
have you tried the 4 piece tier set?
this'll be solved next week anyway
i've been enjoying lfr raszageth lol
actually had to teach people how to do the fight
and then watch them learn
you hold w and mash buttons, right?
there was one rogue that was in line for the breath every single pull and just got vaporized
everyone else got better though!
does odyn give you the same color mark every time? Feels like every time the fight goes to 2 runics my 2nd one is the same as the first time
Checked a couple YouTube runs and saw the same thing
ok thanks
Is the mage tower doable right away or do I need to farm some weird low ILVL gear ?
dunno if anything's changed but i did it in normal shadowlands gear at the time
Yeah the only worry I have is some weird scaling issues
fire damage ring and fire damage belt doing about 700 dps each in sbg 21
belt 20 dps higher
whats ur overall dps
only 44k in that one, we did last boss twice, so that hurt it pretty badly
so both of those were 1.6%
i made a little weakaura to help me with reflecting last boss of nokhud. this will tell you exactly when to pre reflect so you are able to reflect every one of the conductive strikes instead of every other
https://wago.io/8gCSiPeQw
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
thought some might appreciate it, also it needs testing 
Every one? So just doing it early enough on first?
yup the timeline go's 22-17-22-17
so if you prereflect 2 sec before the 1.5 sec cast you can do every single one
it's def tight
forgot i use naowh's media package for the "reflect" sound but just go to conditions in the WA and change it if you don't have access to his media package
does anyone know what warrior WA set naowh uses? it looks like the hijack one but it's not really. like the design on that one more than what i'm using but dont really feel like custom editing it all myself if i can just find it
he uses his own i'm pretty sure
ok that makes sense
That's so cool! Thanks
Sou need to sub to his twitch to get it 🙂
also working on a reflect WA that doesn't spam you with reflect when it's not cast on you(using the targeted spells WA from the korean guy and butchered it into a reflect WA)
haven't done any testing yet tho so will post it if it actually works 
hm only boss I have this problem is the water boss in TJS
hey what sim options are best to use for M+? mainly the fight style
ive heard in previous expacs that only patchwerk was "correct" for simming, does that still hold true or have they updated them to calculate better?
Hey, so I was testing a bit on the 5 target dummies, and was trying to follow SS>TC>Rev and overcapping rage into IP. And i really only pressed revenge, when SS/TC was not usable.
I had only 15 Rev CPM, while the sim was showing closer to 30 CPM. The thing I dont get is, the sim only has only 5 IP CPM, while I was still struggling with overcapping at ~14 IP CPM.
What intrigues me is, that I cant cast Revenge for like 6/7/8 GCDs due to back to back SS/TC being ready.
The sim also seems to prioritize Rev over TC/SS. I'd assume this is to do not overcap, and spend more rage on Rev over IP?
Its only during Avatar with uf
Outside of that rev would do more
So you'd press revenge to not overcap, while TC is ready?
Hey, what do you think about the nerf? Problem or naaaaah
pins
Don’t think 6-7% is a Problem am i wrong ?
In terms of survivabilitywe still have tool named Def stance, rnow this is barelly used
But if smth will go wrong with survavebility you still can pop it up more constantly
Which is really Such a waste right now
Everything is about dps, warrior is hyper tanky, have a lot of cc and is doing tons of dmg
Is 7% a huge difference? Normalny propably Yes but warrior is way above most of other tanks So i belive this is nothing we cant deal with
Its mot way abobe most of the other tanks
Bdk and monk and equal/ better
For brood and raz monk and bdk are better than warrior
Pala also id being slept on massivly
I ment m+
Only tank thats behind in terms of suvivbility is druid
Yer in m+
Monk and bdk are equal
Probably paladin as well
So im Just wrong
Pretty much yes
Now ppl have had time to actuall gear other tanks
They are see that balance in terms of suvivability actually really good
Some the theroycrafters have been saying since launch btw
But no one listens to them because they arent big streamers who make teir lists
Leader boaed is almost all Brown, there is some dk, s ik this is albo because of "tank tier lista" which was made at start of expansion
And everybody was Running "Best tank"
Oh wow leader all browm almost like thats because everyone saw tanks with no gear in beta
Now tanks actually start getting gear they are equal
We where capped at 398 or whatever in beta for m+
And yes tier lists effects what alot of ppl play it literally cant be stopped but this narrative of prot being miles ahead is wrong
5 strong tanks, nice to see
:sadbear:
Good Point
is double shield wallt he play for 3rd boss of TJS on tyran?
- immovable object
doing a 23 and im sweating
M+ tanking is def harder than melee dps
did they change something because i quite have problems with my sb uptime
Nope
hi
Hi guys, is Raszageth heroic how do you mitigate Thunderous Blast in P3? Is Spell Block talent nedeed?
Not needed no
SR Sw
If your in Wf group u have SW everytime guarenteed
But external and sr also works fine
Spell block u can take as well
hey guys i'm in the process of choosing a tank, i see that war is toooo OP. are the nerf hammering it ? Is it worth to take DK instead of war which can be nerfed anytime soon ? thanks a lot for your help 🙂
Warrior has just been nerfed
And again is not OP
Bdk in terms of survivbility actually is equal
Its damage is behind
Utility it had more for sure than warrior
Spell reflect 
All tanks are good now so pick what you think is fun
tbh it depends on community perception. If the community thinks your class is garbage you won't be able to play solo 😒
Thats literally never and not been an issue
Definitely not as much as a tank
People crave your tanky powers
5 tanks very good rn. just like all 3 secondaries are very good
Prot war is a good beginner tank anyway so go ahead if you think it's an issue
New weekly nerfs brutal vitality change something, or still better that heal from bleeds?
still really strong with tier
Tbh i love both war and Dk, i used to tank a lot in legion and Bfa. I'm still wondering. War is strong now but i guess Dk will scale like a monster after s1
i love both
Think vdh will scale hardest but don't overthink it lol
Every season it's random which classes are meta
yes ! i also love BrM 🙂 but too much to do for the same result lol]
Yes many buttons
Maybe i'll lvl up war and dk and see how it goes...i just need to find the time to do so lol
Quick question, when using Execute, should I wait to have 40 rage ? Or just use it whenever I have more than 20 ?
hi guys, im new here. does anyone know what 2 embellishments is the best for m+?
whenever. the dmg scales linearly with rage
so 2x 20 rage executes does the same dmg as 1x 40 rage
at double the gcd
more chances to get ss resets
Thanks, that was my main concern ^^ Thank you for the answer !
yeah i do feel prot pal is slept on bigly
how does that special apperance for 2500 rio works?
IT DOESNT CUZ ITS BUGGED
^
guys i know this is probably have been asked a lot but im new, im about to craft sword and shield i saw people getting crit mastery on sword or crit versa on shield. i thought our main stats were haste versa no? is there a cap and whatstats should i craft
Where did you see people doing that?
in top warrior runners in raider io
people have like 33 haste and 20+ mastery crit the have weapons and shields with crit master
Uh, on crafted items?
Stats on weapons and shields are irrelevant but if they were crafted you'd still do haste and either crit or vers because you can.
jakey can you check whisp
should we sync avatar with demo shout if we're not playing with thunderlord?
or only roar / ravagar
ravager*
do you have tips for the bird boss in Algethar? is there a hidden way to not getting destroyed by his beak attack? Rotate my cds isn't enough as in tyrannical it can be quite long
is it normal to have nothing to press (for like a couple seconds) while you're low on rage and shield slam and thunder clap are on cd?
your probably dumping too much if you running into this
healer job
or be dwarf
or bring evoker
evoker can rmeove bleed?
oh so I shoulnt be on 0 rage constantly
so I dont just press IP 3 times if i have full rage?
yes
hmmm
I was in 19 it was very hard
but ok
but between a poison dispell and this what the worst? ^^
no u press 1
to stop overcapping from the next SS
oh ok, so in that case if im sitting at like 80 rage and press IP but SS and TC are on cd, do I press revenge or something
more than IP?
no wonder im doing no damage
im only level 67 so still huge noob basically
im finding it a little difficult to try and keep SB and IP up at all times basically while focusing on moving the add packs and pressing other abilities but i probably just need more practice
it comes with talents and practice
when should I be switching stances? if I should at all
When you need to take a tank buster but have no big defensive CDs available
go D stance and pray to jesus
then go back to battle
lmao
never while lvling and only for tank busters if youhave to for high keys
Get used to not relying on Dstance, instead plan defensive CDs and don't overlap them unless you have to
that way you'll have another 15% DR in your backpocket
to pull out in emergencies
what do i pop if i need a something more than IP & SB besides shield wall?
Need a little more? Spell Reflect or Demo shout
need more use both
then you have last stand and rally for more HP if needed
do yall just tank diurna in def stance the whole time? I tried doing eggs and kept getting destroyed
That's a bad take tbh you should sit in dstance everytime you feel like you can die and with experience you'll know when you can/should go battle stance
on heroic you can chill in b stance, dunno about mythic
I was in normals 🥲
Telling beginners to go battle stance nonstop when they're probably struggling to play anyway is just dumb
My second day tanking with warrior, i did every other boss fine, but diurna just blows me up. Can't figure out what to do, I guess I'm not pressing IP enough
you will learn a lot faster in Battle stance
On lower difficulties on diurna her hp will most likely be capped by the number of eggs your damage literally doesn't matter
if you're still learning you're probably also in low stakes content
better learn early
15% dr is massive while 15% more damage on a beginner tank is gonna amount to nothing all you're gonna learn is to int your group
15 % dr is really not massive :p

My IP gets eaten up on big pulls so fast in 20+ keys that I use revenge way more less than I should do i think.
hey, whatever works for you
Yo guys, for some reason I always die on 2nd Boss in Ruby. Even through SW. Does anyone have any tips for me?
Revenge is overall mostly on place 4 or something
Also I get a lot SS resets and tend to spend them instant and IP if it would overcap rage
I dunno man. Feels weird to prio revenge over anything for me
That's not for me tho that's for someone that just picked the spec and you're telling him to trade his survivability for 3-4k dps
He asked when to stance weave, I gave an answer
Nah, not tanking near a wall. Could it be that i need to stay in melee to the boss as long as possible?
can u block that tank buster hit combo
yes
maybe i cant block if not n melee?
you can
Is there a way in logs to easily filter Ignore Pain gained from BrV/4p vs actual casts of IP?
Bring evoker to dispell bleed. Bleed is what makes u die
Or dwarf it
Spellblock and SR doesn't help since it's a bleed
you can have wall for every other, then tell your healer to give an external for the others
Stance Swap in def for it and maybe pool some rage for ip
shouldnt be necesarry, they nerfed it quite a lot recently
this is the best advice here
Just to clarify, sry to bother you so much: If I am not in melee to the boss I cant block his attacks, correct?
+20 sbg with a average healer it can be a pain
Made that encounter easy
yes you can block if youre not in melee as long as you face the boss
Question to you guys: I have Whispering Incarnate Icon and Decoration of Flame. Would you play Ruby Whelp Shell or Blazebinder's Hoof in favor of any of the 2?
Decoration of Flame feels so lackluster to play
Icon i play for raid
yer but in m+ its meh
what ilvls are your trinkets?
Both 402 but i have Valor.
392 Puzzle Box, 385 Blazebinders Hoof, 402 Rumbling Ruby, 402 Bonemaw's Big Toe.
Which trinkets do you think i should run for M+?
I'm thinking of running 402 Rumbling Ruby and 402 Bonemaw's Big Toe.
yer what about the raid trinkets
Decoration 415 and Other 408
whats your ruby trained too
6 Single Target atm
its tough
the raid trinkets due to ilvl are just better
if they were all 415
i would run ruby and hoof
unless
the healer and dps have icon as well
How do you deal with the tank buster on the bird boss in AA
The bleed?
Which would you drop in favor for icon?
it's pinned
Dwarf, evoker, rotate CDs
hoof probably
but i dont actually know how good it is
never had one
I want to farm the CoS trinket maybe, and want to know which trinket is worth to play alongside and upgrade. i have much valor
what about flame
All totem is good?
I have whet and all totem and it feels so good
its the bis m+ trinket
all totem is nutty
Sorry for that but what is boon?
All totem is crazy good
dathea trinket
Boon of the storm eater
Thx!
i got all totem from my weekly quest chest
So safe the valor and try to get CoS with All totem
actually considering open chest as prot against as mythic all totem is in my loot pool now
Boon just feels bad to me. I have a 408 boon and I really don’t like the 10 second root.
no one can recraft my shield
