Unrelated to warrior but when do you guys estimate valor cap removal?

radiant robin
#

is it just me or was pugging never worse than now?

split stratus
#

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.

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?

tender cove
vocal nimbus
#

you gotta be in battle stance 99% of the time

pseudo garden
#

For me D stance is for bird boss and Boulder lady....maybe ice whelp lady too

topaz drift
#

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)

livid snow
#

Then I've been tanking very wrong, then again only just started playing prot.

tender cove
#

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.

livid snow
#

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

Def stance reduces the damage you do

what's our best phial for m+?

livid snow
#

But stances don't have any effect on rage generation?

mighty valley
#

Nope

livid snow
#

alright thanks haha

#

this should be good for my overal damage

mighty valley
#

like 10%+ good

livid snow
#

yeah also nice to not nerf whetstone by 10%

tender cove
#

wait, whetstone got nerfed?

void chasm
#

i think he is saying that d stance nerfs whetstone by 1%

#

10%*

mighty valley

although personal buffs rarely affect trinkets

#

Does prot warrior have any talents/passives that will proc execute?

mighty valley
#

sudden death

#

also you can search "execute" in talents to find everything that interacts with it

#

same for other ability interactions

sick sentinel
#

thank you! ❤️

slow epoch
#

do you recommend me eye in the storm phials or versa ones for m+ ?

spice orbit
#

Eye

dense ledge
#

worth picking disrupting shout in rlp to try and group stuff quicker when trying to avoid pulling an extra drake?

pseudo garden
#

You don't need it to avoid drakes

#

Just learn the way flamegullet moves you'll be fine

dense ledge
#

just so hard to get on the platform mid pull in my pugs since they don't use interrupts

lone eagle
#

Are you skipping storm dragon?

dense ledge
#

ye

#

well, learning ruby at the moment

lone eagle
#

Honestly not really worth to skip, you just lust it on Fort

dense ledge
#

don't have a set route

lone eagle
#

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

dense ledge
#

do you have the patrol route of the fire guy?

hybrid fossil
#

just look it up on yt - the skip is pretty easy

dense ledge
#

doing it atm

#

cheers guys

lone eagle
#

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

dense ledge
#

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?

tbf it uses a very similar picture as a belt im using so yeah i glanced and replied

#

huh.

#

That helps

chrome falcon
#

so it's just compass directions with one of them pointed at the closest player?

warm plinth
#

It's toward the player and a cross from there

sadge no one can recraft my shield

literally everyone goes weapons

If you were on Stormreaver...

would anyone be willing to review some of my logs, please?

uneven mason
#

AHEM I mean, sure

heavy temple
#

xD

#

can I pm it to you?

#

id rather not have it done publicly here (:

uneven mason
#

just post it here

#

it provides much better feedback

heavy temple
#

this nokhud for example

uneven mason
#

Is this a "how do I do more damage" or "I'm getting murdered whatsup"

heavy temple
#

how do i play better

golden acorn
#

i have a general how do i do more damage

uneven mason
golden acorn
#

is it press revenge more

Is it worth getting a crafted 405 ring? my current lowest item is this stupid 382 blaze ring

damn

#

ok

#

you got it boss

hm?

golden acorn
#

4pc was a scam

marsh axle

i thought it meant press revenge more

rend should NEVER be your top dmg

never ever

literally all of your main buttons arent being sent enough

uneven mason
strong forum
#

revenge, shieldslam, thunderclap and ignore pain

uneven mason
#

it's just a bit off

strong forum
#

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

uneven mason
#

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

heavy temple
#

Ok thanks guys

uneven mason

this is just "at a glance"

#

This key sucked ass cause we had 0 knocks

chrome falcon
#

hey nomer do you ever drop shockwave in keys

#

i haven't done it yet but thinking about it every now and then

uneven mason
#

You need to use SW more

heavy temple
#

And was running around 24/7

strong forum
#

in my comp i could've gotten away with not playing shockwave

uneven mason
#

Like, SW is a 1min CD

#

if you're pressing SS

strong forum
#

but in normal groups id never not play shockwave

#

unless it was 100% communicated with the group that it wasnt needed

chrome falcon
#

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

strong forum
#

nokhud is one of the keys where shockwave is insanely strong tho

#

there is so much shit to stop

#

24/7

uneven mason
strong forum
#

especially around 3rd boss

chrome falcon
#

mmm i guess cones

#

before third

#

are toxic

strong forum
#

not just cones

#

literally everything

#

deathbolts, necrotic eruptions, frontals, swift wind

SS should be like 14ish CPM?

the order of trinket use

matters

uneven mason
#

SB becomes a not thing

strong forum
#

you can compare your log with mine

#

i did 78k dps in that nokhud if you count spellreflect

#

without SR i did 73.6k

heavy temple
#

Yeah, but why hr, isn't itf strictly better if sb uptime is good?

strong forum
#

?

weary python
#

But isn't the order of the trinket the same as what I have equipped?

uneven mason
#

If you can assure 5 stacks the majority of the time

silent anchor
#

Shit tons of rage wasted on that log too

strong forum
#

yeah but your SB uptime isnt good

uneven mason
strong forum
#

ok, you blocked 91% of melees

uneven mason
#

he's ok

strong forum
#

but playing ITF is so unsafe idk

uneven mason
#

on that front

strong forum
#

its at best a 7% aoe dps gain

weary python
#

@strong forum So with that sim it's telling me to fire off Grieftorch first, then use the windscar?

strong forum
#

much less if you cant guarantee 5stacks of ITF

strong forum
#

you just use grieftorch before CDs

#

to not waste anything

uneven mason
weary python
#

How do I tell the sim to do that then?

strong forum
#

?

#

the sim already does it

weary python
#

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

uneven mason
strong forum

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

strong forum
#

yeah youre not putting thunderlord to use at all

uneven mason
#

91% blocked hits is solid

strong forum
#

i dont play with TL and have the same uses as you do

#

youre literally wasting an entire talent point there

strong forum
#

i mean thats fine

#

its super QoL to have that

uneven mason
#

I suppose

strong forum
#

and yeah, youre still overcapping almost 15% of your rage

#

when it should be closer to 1%

urban portal
#

Overwhelming rage can hypothetically be a dps up

strong forum
#

ye

uneven mason

Just that the 2 points can be hard to fit

uneven mason

Intervene or bitter iirc

nah

so fairly lost cost talents

urban portal

Game feels unplayable without stride

yeah

uneven mason

I'm in that boat for sure hah

#

Warrior without stride is like "shit, am I on my DK?"

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!

#

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

uneven mason

Moral of the story is press SB when in combat

strong forum
#

those are the basic rules of thumb for those scenarios

acoustic edge
#

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?

warm plinth
uneven mason
#

just slap IP

strong forum
#

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

uneven mason

to let me know to dump

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?

around the edges of the room

and keep running away from the orbs when they get close

fading tide

Do I stand still or move him?

if you stand still you wipe

the orbs will fuck you up

Just heroic leap away or walk and build up the debuff?

awful boss

daring marlin
#

Orbs should only ever chase healers

supple tusk

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

does Revenge kill Explosives if i have it target when i cast it? 🤔

#

or can i only kill Explosives with SS?

strong forum
#

No

#

You can only kill them with auto attacks, shield slam, shield charge and heroic throw

pallid quiver
#

Shield Chargng an explosive is big sad

strong forum
#

And i guess wrecking/shattering throw too, but lmao

open bluff
#

you can only cast aoe on explosives if it requires a target and it’s the primary target (eg brm keg smash works)

craggy pilot
#

feel like we are kinda bad at melee Explosives then

pallid quiver
#

but ss doesn't have a 45s cd

#

Not really

open bluff
#

Every tank has some weakness

#

Prot’s is explosive

pallid quiver
#

If you're at a point where you're using aoe abilities, you can just target them while pressing revenge/tc

open bluff
#

No

strong forum
#

Vdh is even worse at explosive

slim dove
#

you can hamstring/slam them also

pallid quiver
#

So your autos will get them

slim dove
#

like regular ass boring slam

open bluff
#

Revenge/TC will not work

#

But yeh autos will

Since you don't need to target the actual mobs for those, you only lose aa damage

thunderlord is GARBO

to wall better

nah spell reflect good enough

craggy pilot
#

you dont rly "wall better" you just get free wall when you Avatar

which doesnt always line up with when you need it

deft mortar

it does with little managing

craggy pilot

then you need to delay your avatar 🤔

they're probably talking baiting for boulder

he casts Wind Burst or something

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

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 😄

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

if they need help then you can go from there

thats possibility too, not likely but ive seen dumber shit happen mid key

that happens in any key

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

#

and then build grp for ur 13 AV

its a good type of boring if anything

then ull be warmed up

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

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

Honestly never wiped on that boss

Did you press shield reflect?

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.

maybe dps arent using defensives during storm

the increased healing can make getting through the storm a lot easier

if healer isnt grabbing orbs its a heck. if ppl are grabbing orbs too soon and resetting their stack, its a heck

Every one? So just doing it early enough on first?

modern folio

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

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?

jagged pier
#

3-5 targets 1 min remove all buffs

#

is what i do

heavy temple
# uneven mason SO key points, More buttons pressing, just in general you're not pressing button...

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?

limpid anchor

Outside of that rev would do more

Pls nerf dh

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

jagged pier

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

Only tank thats behind in terms of suvivbility is druid

Monk and bdk are equal

Probably paladin as well

So im Just wrong

jagged pier

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"

jagged pier
#

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+

more than IP?

When you need to take a tank buster but have no big defensive CDs available

what do i pop if i need a something more than IP & SB besides shield wall?

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
