It blocks all spells for 20 seconds. Meaning blocks, not prevents/makes you immune to.
You still need to keep Shield Block active for the duration to guarantee blocking.
You know what Shield Block does right
we block autos?
Yes, but block means you're reducing them, not like...not taking them. It's not like dodge or parry where you completely avoid the damage.
Only on the initial hit. DoTs cannot be blocked.
It's an option
It still mitigates the initial hit which can help you stay stable while you/the healer work to get the absorb off.
It's a good option in the dungeon anyway because of the trash in the 3rd/4th boss room
So you'll get use out of it regardless.
i did so much dmg to explosives but my groups dmg to explosive was mia
Probably dumb question but does IP mitigation work as blocks 50% of the shield damage then the rest of the damage bleeds through for 100% or if you have IP shield it blocks 50% until the next attack on an unshielded warrior.
I assume its the prior.
Trying to gauge how valuable 4set is.
Say you have a 50k absorb via Ignore Pain. You take a 25k hit. 12.5k goes to the absorb shield leaving you with 37.5k remaining on your Ignore Pain. The other 12.5k goes to your HP.
Ahh that makes more sense.
If you had a 50k absorb and took a 150k hit, it would mitigate 50k (since that's all the IP you have) and you'd take the other 100k, since you didn't have enough to mitigate the entire half.
Ah cool. So 4sets handy but not absolutely game breaking
It's much stronger in keys than it is in raid.
Managed to get my first piece outside of the vault last night so should hit 4set upon reset from either vault or crafted
The beauty of the 4-set is that it will create its own IP if there isn't one, and it synergizes beautifully with our Brutal Vitality talent.
Yeah smart so basically constant ip without the rage cost
Yeah, not that you won't press IP anyway to prevent rage overcap but it's a solid defensive gain just the same.
Trying to break into 20+ but hovering around 18s
Finally got AOTC with a 4/8M pug alt group
Their RL was doing like 28K as PPally tho, kinda disappointing
I'm just glad to have the kill tho
how are you guys living the searing blows in ruby
Super late reply to this
While others covered the basics, I'd take a look at your IP keybind
my intuition is that if you are capping rage that constantly your IP isn't on as accessible a keybind
Rotate CDs and pucker your butthole, or bring a prevoker that isn't half brain-dead and coast
It should ideally be something you can hit constantly off the GCD
wall, demo + IV- reflect, LS, healer - healer external +demo + IV.. Wall, Reflect + IV
Whether that's a mouse button, or R or something
theres always a combo of something u can use togethor
How often is Thunderous Roar used? On CD?
can use rally in one if no external.
Everything is on CD
basically on CD but you can more or less line it up with Avatar most times without trying too hard
unless shit is dying soon
if you have to wait like 30s, prob too long unless adds are spawning soon or something
but if its like 3-4s of waiting, its prob worth to wait for the avatar to come up
If you don't take Thunderlord you can more or less guarantee every one is buffed by demo shout as well
although if you have 1m CD version talented you might not
Fair enough, brand new to tanking, so just wanting to get stuff right haha
should i upgrade my 392 unstable arcane loop crit/haste/avoidance or just keep my cobalt ring instead and wait for something better?
i'd be waiting till tuesday to do any upgrades though
First upgrade gear that gives you mainstat and armor
Before upgrading rings that only gives you secondaries and stamina
Reflect does nothing, since it's a bleed, not magic damage.
You can run double wall for that boss and if you have it, Eranogs absorb trinket.
Is DBM better than BigWigs for tanking?
it's preference
Ability is there, like imagine how would you counter attack that makes you bleed, parry it 😄
Doesn't DBM tell you when to taunt? Figured that'd be useeful for someone newer
yeah it does in raid
is 4pc worth 13 ilvls?
Like on one piece I'm guessing? @clear pasture
I would never have guessed you could spell reflect dragon strike on TAV last boss in a million year. Just happened to hear the sound effect.
upgrading 402 shoulders to 411 heroic tier and downgrading 395 chest to 382 raid finder tier
There's a whole list of things you can reflect in the pins..
Worth it, in keys at least
@warm plinth you're the leveling expert..
What's the fastest from 50-60?
anyone elses Genshii's ignore pain tracker broken since today? numbers seem to be fucked constantly/doesnt update properly
WoD intro/starting area if you haven't done it yet on the toon
Otherwise I'd probably do Aszuna in Legion
Questing is always the fastest my friend
Hoped there was some "Oh, go cheese this and get 60 in 2 minutes".
There's people advertising 10-60 PLing but I don't know how they're doing it. I know people do 60-70 at the cobalt assembly place but I have no idea what they're doing for 10-60
Unless Freehold is somehow more accessible again but I kinda doubt it
50-60 is hella fast anyway
I played so poorly in the AA 23 we did yesterday that i decided to level a BDK.
I was doing it sub 1 hour in pre-patch

oof
I think it just encourages hand holding and reduces your flexibility
And all the taunt swaps are „ swap at 5“ „swap at 1“
Shouldn’t need a voice to tell you
I remember doing Harjatan back in Legion and DBM telling me to swap at 2 stacks 
Anyone know % of how good prot warrior 2 set / 4 set is
The age of prot warrior is ending, and the age of brewmaster is beginning...SHITS ABOUT TUH GO DOOOOOOOOOOWN
2 set is well, 4%
About 4%
4 set is a survival bonus so putting a number on it is...difficult to say the least
It's worth dropping ilevel for in M+ though
5% leech is kinda misstating it though, since it also has giga synergy with Brutal Vitality
It’s deffo worth it to get that’s the main thing
Are people just memeing the prot warrior nerf is bad? It don't look so bad for me. Playing around +12 keys
check the pins
We can only hope.
Perception
But honestly I love being the dark horse, so the knowledge that from Tuesday the brew population is probably going to double annoys me
My haste on my monk is like 260, my crit is 4400 😄
What % you on?
I heard it was the weastest from Dorkis ranked video but it was moved up again. So it was never weak
it was never weak just hard to play
tier videos, very trustworthy
I’m currently 30%
which is why u should never just follow ppls tier lists
they dont spend enough time on each class
Nah I know it won't change that much, people who main warrior are too deep into the season, and also brewm is very hard to learn
in beta 99% of the prots streamers were playing prot wrong
To be fair tho, it does such ungodly amounts of damage that even if you fuck up the dps rotation massively, you still slap
Even now 99% of prot warriors are playing wrong
He mentions that Brewmaster is hard to play as well.
.
well yer true mwahi
hard to play ergo they dont spend time learning ergo they dont know how to play it ergo they say its bad
we saw it in SLs with prot
The key to learning a tank spec well, is to play that spec and nothing else, 4-16 hours a day, everyday, for years on end

thats a bit dramatic isnt it
You log yourself 3-4 thousand hours on brew, you'll really be cookin
Honestly tho to me, maintaining shield block and not capping rage is 10,000x harder than hitting all of the brew buttons
Maintaining shield is easy macro it 😉

how so? shield block is natuarlly maintained, your rage dump button is off the gcd
Some things make sense to some people, some dont
please tell me your not just spending your rage into IP
When I cast shield slam I also cast shield block 🙂
if i have a shield slam proc, thunder off cd and 80 rage im spending it into IP
To me hitting one of 5 CDs when needed just makes more sense
until they are needed and you have none ofthem
And brew has roll, which is the best ability ever
(as is the case with my bear)
Pwar is easy and people still ply it wrong
Kinda funny
That some need macros for sb
Yea
But dude, you come on down and hangout with me in the pug life, you will see some shit
I started to be more in Battle Stance and use reveange after I got the 2 Set-Bonus. Not that issues with health
Had an ilvl 394 havoc DH today do 20k overall in a nokhud
You're always in battle stance..
^ doesn't pug
How does that make a difference?
^ just lied about pugging
im in BS when i pug
I pug 20s and im perma bstance
I pug hc raid and perma bstance
Mythic raid as well
Well, I am want from 0% to 95% so that is more
And considering our performance, its a pug
What?
When I don't feel safe with the incoming dmg
Then you look into your own play.
You guys are probably all telling the truth I don't play prot warrior so idk how realistic that is
And analyse logs.
DEF stance is a def cd
Only times i go into Dstance is:
On high tyrannical Hyrja,TJS 3rd boss, RLP 2nd boss.
I'm more likely to forget to change into D Stance than to ever stay in it for an extended period of time
Yes, I am using that Def stance as an def cd now
I can boost you in cobalt no prob
I need 60 to go into Cobalt tho, no?
Takes forever as non dh tho
I only generally go into it in pure pugs when:
DPS decide we're doing a 5 pull instead of a 3 pull, even though they don't know what an interrupt is
Bosses Mwahi mentioned
Healer blew literally all of their mana in 3 seconds somehow and I need to buy them time
It might be toxic, but if the first pull is already tragic I leave
Dont see any reason to try and carry pugs
yeah, usually they pull it behind me back because i'm too stupid to realize what's happening, i get aggro, then they leave mid-pull
I was told by a hunter who was doing 11k ST DPS that I can't hold aggro so I'm a shit tank because the first boss of RLP targeted him with chill bomb
then i get the dm's anyway
It's never the DPS'ers fault.
They have it hard..
They need to focus on doing their rotation and looking at the DPS meters.
I LOVE those Dams
DMs*
Anytime anyone shit talks me, I feel like I just a Xmas present
Almost 0 affixes to deal with outside of Explosive(mostly done by healers regardless) and Spiteful..and yet they complain.
I just like, don't see the point unless you're being a complete asshat

Requires too much brain power i guess.
And if you ask them to Interrupt as well...
That just errors them out.
I've had pugs displace mobs into sanguine to heal them because they had their CDs up and want to pad
I really should just leave keys more
If i see DPS'ers doing suboptimal DPS/not interrupting etc.
I just leave.
I'm not there to waste my time.
🤷
I just assume DPS is there to do suboptimal DPS in pug life
Find a mage and take the flight point and ride to it 😋 I did my rogue in 4 hrs from 10-70
it is way too much effort to find DPS who out-DPS me
Wait..Mage can do portal to Valdrakken?
And i can fly there?
Okay but in my defense, looking at the meters increases my DPS by approximately feelsgood%
Yes 😁

is anyone running barbaric training for m+?
no
That explains how they're doing the PLing huh Mwahi lol
Barbaric Training is stinky
Stupid bad talent
"PL"'ing?
ew
powerleveling
Oo
its literally a 99 dps difference for me which is in the margin of error
I'm gonna be so sad when cobalt powerlecsling is nerfed by blizz
I've got a guy who jce bought 7 from now, because he's just a god, I've got 6 more characters to go but I don't like to blow all my gold at once
how long does it take?
That dude's best for me, was 60-70 in about 80 minutes
Not bad, was it expensive?
He's among the most expensive I've seen he does 350k for all levels, 250-285k seems to be more of the standard now
350k for 60-70?
Then I dinG 70, pay 400k for an m0 world tour and I'm ready start running keys within 3 hours
350k is a lot of gold for me
It isnt if you boost 
I made stupid ass money selling glass the first 3 weeks of the xpac
I'd log on, afk craft 800,000g worth of draconic vials, pop em all on the AH, come back 2 hours later to a mailbox with 2M gold
I do it in 50 min 60-70
That was a great few weeks, everyone out there chasing after ilvl 379 loot like a bunch of jackasses, and I'm just rollin in money in town and within a few hours of M+ launching you outgear that stuff anyway
I'm poor now
😦
I would do for free if u where eu
Ah that’s good 😁 I’m home 5pm
I've only got like 700k left, I bought like 15 store mounts, 5 leveling boosts, and 8 months of game time
I feel like such a dumbass though if I had known the market was going to disappear that quickly and that hard, I would have never bought the mounts
That's like 3 million gold for mounts I will literally never touch
Yeah no prob, make sure u have wm on before u search a mage
how often should i stay in defensive mod
oh, got to find a macro to swap btw
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:2]!Defensive Stance;!Battle Stance

trying to push some 16 keys as 380 ilvl prot :p vers pots the way to go right?
what are soft/ hard caps for DR for prot warriors in specific secondary stats? mainly haste
40% before any buffs
What you need boost for
including into the fray if you're running that
as in, turn it off before checking if you're at 40% haste
(you're not right now)
Leveling.
How is it done?
Look at those streamer benefits
Streamer?
cool, no major diminishing returns
How do people get so much haste
I always feel left out after joining some YT videos or providing feedback about some content and then they ask "So what do you want to have shoutouts for? Twitch? YT? Twitter?"..and i'm like "....i don't use those".
Im at 38 with itf

with itf im at 50%
Just scratch some drawings on a cave wall somewhere and tell them to shout those out
Im Long enough in skyhold that I know, that’s the least I can offer you 😁

shoutout skyhold 
especially me
Isnt that a old Nerf?
same KEKW
Yes.
So, why are they stating it again in the Jan 24th nerfs lol
"I want to give a big shoutout to Skyhold for making me answer the same questions 20 times a day and argue with random people who do feelycrafting".
Ask them?
cause thats when they go live
simple fix: dont answer
force some poor stormforged to work overtime
Well, it's more at times when no one is on/looking at Discord (believe it or not, SF and Mods also have a life) that things get messy.
Then we get the good old "Vers is good" vs "Haste is good" arguments going on.
While neither of them provide any solid information..with the Vers guy going "IT REDUCES DAMAGE" and the haste guy going "I DON'T KNOW WHY HASTE IS GOOD BUT THE MODS/SF SAID SO!!"
And i'm just silently watching and..
quick question: if a spell is said to be blockable but magic-type, does that mean I can block it with spell block active only?
Yes.
yes
thank you
np very buff perry the platypus
perry is life
SF and Mods no not have a life stop lying to them
the only people who want to be internet janitors are people with no life

Agreed.
or or, they complain cause your io isnt as high as the top ppl
so theres no point in u giving advice

ask question to reassure my already existing beliefs
answer goes against my belief
this cant be right, they must be wrong
and thats why humans suck
thank you confirmation bias
Especially on contradictory information
honestly you 100% can cus vers or no vers is not gonna matter
for the people asking
cus they do 20s at most
yes
thanks mwahi
will gem and enchant everything now
recrafting all my gear
new missives
You're welcome.
Quick screen shot that to be used out of context forever
I'm going to be really sad when the day arrives that I'm looking at my depleted keys and thinking 'maybe vers is the answer'
just do it today
No I'm having too much fun with 40% crit
Honestly it's current ly favourite thing to be on a dungeon and have the 'holy shit I think I just parried X mechanic' moments
serotonin
Because ofc I've not put any time into finding out what can be parried
Same.
Crawth be like:
Evoker dispell
SW
Dwarf dispell
Parry
Evoker dispell
Parry
SW

parry 

At what keylevel does the bird do dmg?
All my gems are Mastery
none if you have 200% vers
I did a 20 last night and that motherfucker did 60k dps to me on average for the whole fight. 70% of it the peck
Im Full crit and at least on 20s its chill 
The only reason I gem Mastery is that the rest of my gear has so little on it and Mastery sims out for maximum DPS
Mastery is gonna be bis anyway after the nerfs
Vers? Nah. Haste? Nah. Crit? Get out
Please tell me you are memeing
Idk, 22 was pretty chill.
Can you really parry the peck? I dont think i've seen/noticed that
No
You used to be able to
they fixed that, so now it can be a problem
Just saying that it does no dmg 
Get past mana boss and you're gucci.
Unless you mong last boss.

surely you cant do that
The mana boss is thr most difficult

Whats your route?
do you even need lust on tree anymore
No
if you go mana first then tree then you have lust on crawth
tldr: you did not pass the semester
every AA i've done this week has had people placing puddles EVERYWHERE
But Thant you dont have it for last
i haven't done keys for like one and a half weeks so idk whats worth or not
That’s why we went tree - mana - back over tree to bird, rest of trash
Every time I go into AA, I hope everyone else dies because it makes the fight easier.
i got the mythic eranog shield and a good 421 weapon. should i still open as prot to get a 421 shield or open as arms for trinkets? got DoF 415 and WII 421. maybe the windscar trinket would be a good dps boost?
You try to play it well and move boss all the way to a wall in the hopes that your mong pug brains will figure out that you play the fight in one end of the room and then move to the other when it fills up
Shroud to mana boss->2 packs on boss platform->1 pack on boss platform->Mana boss->Whole mana boss worm area->Shroud over next bridge->Whole area there->Elemental boy->Bird boy->Tree area->TreeBoy->Big pulls on last boss area.
but the hunter like being on his african safari so shit is all over
We lust mana boss , Crawth and last boss.

On a 22 it lined up with lusts like that.
Ya thats our pathing too pretty much
We did figure out that you can LoS the mana bombs on mana boss..
So that's something.

I assume you LoS mana bombs when he is about to cast them?
It's 3 people who get it..so 1 ranged DPS LoS'es it..and the healer knows who he needs to pre-hot/heal for it.
Makes their life easier.
cant you hold boss near the edge for that
and have everyone do it
Pretty sure someone still gets it?

At least our Rogue did.
i can try and find the clip of them doing it on 24
I think the arcane bombs spawns will fuck you then
If he's on a wall its gonna spawn a bomb or two on top of him pretty much
Jep.
Also..apparently the stairs make the swirlies invisible.
😦
Learned that the hard way in the 23.

I think the problem has been that the third boss was such a pushover in comparison to the others that people aren't as good at the mechanics, and now they're pushing into high keys and haven't learned that fight very well yet
stairs after tree also makes the spinnys not hit you if you're below them
There's a shit overlap with Fissure into Mana bombs..which (luckily) can be solved by letting the boss eat a orb.
mana bombs only seem like a big issue on the Mana bombs-Fissure overlap
But that was pretty much a guaranteed one shot on at least one DPS.
So los the new way? Not letting one Ball to Boss first wave to have better timings
honestly, i wouldn't be doing this unless your someone will get oneshot and you're in a coordinated group
Does letting a ball through on the first wave cause a nasty overlap later in the fight? Right now it's about 1:40ish for the overlap without letting one through
Why would you let a ball through?
need weak aura for prot
Wago->Protection
wha
It gives him Energy causing it to de-sync the Fissure+Mana Bomb combo.
Go to the website wago.io
Search for Protection
Make your pick.
So is that actually the play?
^ someone in pug told me and it worked well
Yes.
Okay nice
Well either that, very good defensive usage or LoSing mana bombs

You let 1 orb go through after the 2nd fissure.
Defensives run out eventually. 😦
on azura vault, as alch what can i do?
nothing?
afaik there's only some sort of inscription shenanigans there, but, not even sure about that
isnt there an evoker thing there?
or maybe thats the inscription thing youre talking about
you can press the tome to rig the traps
inscriptino and evoker can click on something
don't know, might as well be evoker, it's soemthing with a book yeah
but it doesn't do much
yeah i know there's a tome to the right of the two mana dudes before first ring
you can pull big after 2nd boss and use traps to deal damage
but its not that impactful
cue MDI where they'll abuse it in ways nobody ever thought off 🤣
After the 2nd fissure u need to let 1 orb through so 3rd fissure isnt synced with manabombs. Assuming u got all orbs before
Just tell the party to los everything
Hi! I just used the raidbot droptimizer, and i tells me to look for the puzzle box trinket.
Edited: i'm stupid, the ball thing is on another trinket
Puzzle box isn't the soccer ball, it's the on-use mastery with a 2 second cast time
thats not the ball trinket
The puzzle box one is good, then?
Is it telling you replace Whetstone or is it telling you to replace your other trinket?
Oh right I see
what lvl of item are u simming from dungeons?
M+ 11
Which dungeons do you all take Spell block in?
The ones i can do without stressing to much (i'm to old for this shit xd)
well sims are personal to char
in general whetstone is better
but your char must be very low on mastery or somthing
Actually i think i have too much mastery
that adding 3k mastery to u would be a big dps increase iguess
If you had a lot it wouldn't be overvalued so much
cool i have 33% and puzzle is a down grade as i said its personal to the char
Ive got 31% mastery with 7 slots with some form on it
theres isnt a rule of thumb of what is best
so 26% definitely isn't high
Ok
Plus no cast time 
Will Sennarth hit dps if tanks get out of melee range during Ascend phase?
we web blasts the second highest on threat
from what i know
but not being in rnage of the boss should never be an issue
its easy to stay in range
We just started progress yesterday on Mythic and it's messy. After the warlock portal I sometimes have to dodge tornado and step away from the boss and could end up out of melee range for a few seconds. Haven't noticed him hitting anyone else yet, but can't be sure of it.
First ramp you can place the gate at the bottom of the ramp, but on the subsequent ramps it's better to place the gateway halfway up, so it takes you to the top
u can literally just walk with the boss and the last 2
its even better if your the one tanking the boss
u get ahead of the spreads that u need to do
Senn has such a huge hit box its almost impossible to be out of range of her
looking to start tanking is prot war still safe choice with the inc nerfs
the incoming nerfs are less than half a key's worth of consideration
im sorry im not sure what you mean
You wont notice them
guys we are supposed to be dooming
ahh thanks, what is the likely hood of them being further nerfed
your getting it wrong
And if you are top 50 world, chances are you can play any tank as viable any ways
which one should i go ? first one is 147 vers and 227 mastery, second one is crit haste with 37 vers per player in group
Ilvl
ilvl
kk thanks ❤️
If I were you I'd try to upgrade the crafted bracers
Since you committed the spark to them already
the guides say to aim for 100% uptime on shield block, but I always run into a spot after some time where I just can't. Any tips?
what are your talents? 100 % uptime is pretty easy atm
play battering ram instead of BSV
does that change at a certain point? subcreation has around 73% of prot taking itf.
dont look at subcreation for builds amigo
also take punish and battering ram over BSV and thunderlord
you always take HR in m+, otherwise you have to play itf+bolster but thats worse than just putting 1 point in HR
and for most cases impenetrable wall is better than defenders aegis
Hmm okay, so those running ITF are using Bolster to play around it?
Ye
hello! question, why punish over thunderlord? is it just to have an easier play style? or is there some significant advantage? both seem to provide pretty good benefits
Cuz punish is always 9-12% DR on your prio target and 3% St dmg increase
TL is 20-40% CDR on demoshout
Why wouldn't you just take both and drop bsv for keys?
cause battering ram is better than TL
because battering ram is a thing
Cuz battering ram is more dmg than TL
but more demo shouts synergies with booming voice though?
thanks!
Noted
I'm quiet but reading through this and making/trying changes. I appreciate the help.
hi quiet
Ah yay finally got my last 20 out of the way with Ruby. Cleanest run I've had, like, in the past 6 years 😊 Thanks for all the tips and input especially @jagged pier
i dont get it im watching streams i use wowanalyzer for rotation all those people got so eazy life ss rev tc and again
sometimes 2 x rev in time
but for me it dont work
after liek 2/3 cycle i lock myself into cd
no rage
you're running barbaric training im guessing?
no i dont
logs
i only have 2 p
i dont have any new logs
i was working on imp ss count
now on avg n+
i got liek 320-340
casts
🤷 that was my best guess
Maybe there is Not enough shit Hitting you?
has nothing to do with anything
we cant tell u without logs
🤷
sned your old logs
your still probably making the same mistakes
well theres your issue
u are pressing your main rage generator
and your wasting all your rage in IP
i think it is old one
this is from today
so in short to much ip
not enough revenge
not enough SS
too much IP
u also waste around 5% of your rage
Unbind IP 
thx for your tiem and info will work on that
Is revenge more damage than whirlwind
yes
Whirlwind is 360
and a SS proc chance
In AOE? I'm asking for a friend so just want to make sure.
yes in aoe
remove ww from bars
you never press whirlwind
Thanks guys
But when you run away from mighty foe, how will you hit them
Tactical retreat
Sometimes you gotta take your little legs in the hand
Run
And spam ww
That’s just how it works
Weird
That seems fishy
if i cant bring my motorized cart then im not tanking simple as
My friend shared logs when they had an prot warriro that spam Slam and WW 💀
he pays his 12.99 a month
Does protection warrior want auto attack ring
sure, it's free dmg
And bis stats
Thank you JCS, hell of a way to be introduced to bangers
computer, machine, tanker man
Would you guys go with double haste/crit Ring? (Azure vault and autoattack ring) you aim for an specific amount of vers?
Ilvl>haste>other stata
sim it. no specific amount of stats will make you survive
Okok. Just asking because i currently drop so much vers for crit
doesnt matter
Both are equally good stats
Ty 🙂
Sim for damage if ur dying it’s not a stat issue
is the gorund udner the elemental boss in nokhud deadly?
i know a semi famous smak on area 52
you probably dont want to stand in it.
just checkign thats where the dot i got came from assuming it is
you guys think prot will still be the most represented tank at high level after nerf?
I mean it's still going to be a great tank
Maybe dk sees more play at high high end?
It's still fun and has the best kit, of course these 2 things are always true, we might lose some fotm rerillers because it's slightly harder to get away with the "zero buttons" style that the sharters tend to fall in
What's the dot called?
Does he have a dot?
I know the damage buff...
Should never be near the center because you should be baiting windblast every time you have spell reflect up
2nd boss NO is insane- also last is pretty good too
I just hit 70, dipping my toes into tanking and I'm finding prot war challenging but quite fun. is it normal for tanks to keep up a buffs like SW+IP or is prot warrior harder in that way?
No
Ok Yea not a dot but ticking aura
maybe it evens out a bit but gearing takes time even with catalyst and "infinite sparks" so will the top guys toss out their decked out chars and in some cases need to chisel out new strats?
2nd boss is pretty easy as long as you're handling orbs properly
Ohhh Yes
2nd Boss in no is a heal Boss there is nothing deadly for us
🥵
Sw is shield wall, and is our major cooldown, but you should have it available about every pull (1 min cd approximately)
SB my bad
That's what I thought
Yes to sb,
No with a catch for ip
Yes as prot you need to make sure you have sb up anytime you're getting meleed, and face the pack
ive tried a bit of guardian druid before and that seemed a lot more like just spammign ironfur which didnt seem quite as involved unless i was just doing that wrong
IP we use to avoid capping rage
No, that pretty close
what do we think of quazii for tips? 🤔 he seems god awful at playing Warrior
The note on IP is that we can stack it up for larger bursts of damage
Who
I only listen to ikarikaze for all my warrior tips
i listen to orange names and (not including you) ignore all the brown red names that go "RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE"
he seems to have a lot of dungeon knowledge, making video tip guides on M+ dungeons
but man when i see his warrior DPS i just cringe
he is doing 20k boss DPS in a +22 🤔
probably fine as long as its not warrior specific tips
some of the tips seem giga tryharding though
perma d-stance in a 22, letting block drop, not using cds etc 😄
like a bunch of bosses going out of your way to try and line of sight a small mechanic
I mean dungeon knowledge is absolutely a huge chunk of being a good tank
last key i ran says 29.5k dps here 396ilvl
this guy is 410 yogi, and hes doing less dps 🙂
then again, only running 11-13's for infusions
413 even 😄
i had some guy whisper me on one of the halls of valor baby keys we failed timer after, i think a dps warrior whispers: "wow you do so much dmg!!!"
I'm in the boat of "mechanically very good at warrior stuff" - Can't get the playtime to push keys since my team didn't return for dragonflight
prot bad asss !!! after i solo'd odyn from like 5% hp
feel the same way
Damn that must have been a long boss fight like 20min for odyn to get to 5% :p
but i am completely non scared of halls of valor now, maybe on a 15+, but i love that key so much
but cba pushing other dungeons currently
I'm not even double digits on my war
Can someone explain to me why the talent Spell block is good in m+ ? Is it to mitigate some boss mechanic only ? Majority of spells are cut in m+( doing 19-21 atm )
im told that cos is OMEGALUL easy, but i haven't tested it
Just curious what do you guys average for IP CPM just looking to compare and judge if I send it to much or not
Feels like I could be revenging more sometimes
it isnt "good in m+", it just has a few use-cases, notably 3rd boss TJS and 1st boss RLP
Warm wait I think I did some 12s, but can't even pug ATM because one of my coworker left and I have 15 extra accounts to manage now (zero keys this week)
i only did cos one time 2 weeks ago on a 11 with 3 other players (dk and ret i some time mention, healer)
Thx a lot 🙂
with voice
The trash pack just before sha as well
so, i TANKED it i saw it, but i don't really understand that key properly stil....
Because dark claw slaps
some spells are not reflectable, but blockable, where you need Spell Block to be able to block them
unlike Prot Pala who just Spell Block baseline
its only good for very specific spots
Yeah but then you'd have to be a windchime
where spell block is good, it is very good
Holy shit! You can spell block dark claws?
windchime?
prot pala? 😄
jeez watching Quazii tank is sad
his SS is up so much
and he doesnt press it
Boys and girls are we talking about high serpent jade keys with the third best boss ever ?
goes to show why its such a popular tank
cause I do need some tips
True but tbf the man’s doing low 20 keys
you can survive +22 without pressing the most important button 🤣
Don't get kicked in the face
i run HR spellblock in all my keys
This sadly
I feel like I have near 100% uptime on my IP if something hitting* me
you dont have to strive for that
Legitimately I cry angry tears when I see no ip, capped rage and sw get used once the whole dungeon
uptime on IP doesnt matter too much
I don’t strive for it but you have so much rage it’s easy to do
IP just happens from our rage spend
Exspecially when avatar and ravager are out
well tier means you pmuch always have IP up
so uptime becomes less relevant
a less relevant metric*
not that it was relevant before
Right it happens passively pretty much trying not to cap rage lol
Yeah the concept of offensive spend even when IP is capped is lost on people
Always pump IP
i guess if you have DPS doing 80k overall, then you will be fine in any key 🤣
If you have 65 rage, press it
Even when capped pump ip
80k kinda low for dps
This is why the top runners rely less on their tanks
is it possible to see healing taken in logs?
Overall considering st dips
Biz and Critcake doing 100k overalls right?
Yes
where :<
ehrps
This
I love this stat because it got me my mythic prog spot as protection back in BFA
Literally against the bdk and prot paladin in our heroic runs my warrior needed 12% less ehrps
and less dmg in AA 🤔
C'mon now not everyone can be Nom or Sense
nah but why even play Warrior then 🤔
Because you can survive keys by binding sb to w
pretty sure hes better than most of us 🙂
Devil's advocate, he also has a stream to talk too simultaneously
Pretty sure his team has very strong backs
having a good team and knowing what to kick etc is infinitely more valuable than being slightly better at your class
This is certainly important
I dont know when this mentality came that tanks need to do high DPS, anywhere other than pushing the highest of keys
if he is good at keys, must mean he is good at warrior 🤷♂️
never said that
if the man is teaching you how to run +20 keys, judge him on how well you know it after his videos
cause what else would you do? just sit on your hands?
Right you'll find that top pushers are individually not the best at their specs, but they have far better execution of mechanics
if hes teaching you how to do highest of DPS and push keys, judge him on that
but saying if youre good at warrior, you will do higher dps than 30k
@craggy pilot its so gear dependent though too
wdym?
he should have better gear than 413?
ilvl above all, but you might end up with 35% haste and no crit
and that has a huge dps impact
we have yogi doing higher dps in 386 bro whats your point
🤔
this is a weird take tbh
because your dmg is only ilvl dependent? lol
I did 42k overall in a rlp....with far worse gear
your secondary stats dictate a lot of your dmg
pretty much yeah
a little yes, but not a lot
So, I'm pretty sure that's not the issue
all our secondaries are very close to each other in terms of dps and surv
ok, look at logs of a 10% crit tank and 20% crit tank
except haste which is slightly ahead
What about Lepan, he's a baller prot to learn from ?
youll see dps
you can do that bro
I have
which is why im saying it makes a diff 🙂
Not that big a difference
Like if they don't have that 10% crit they have that stat somewhere
yeah in something like the haste cap
haste cap?
Cap...
come again 
Like its simple math. 100 shield slams with 20% crit vs 8% crit
lol
What? You realize that those would be two different people?
diminishing returns?

Tank should be doing 50k at least in aoe dungeons… 50k active
starts at 30%
bro its the gear, not the person 😄
What are these takes bro
If I have 8% crit instead of 20% crit, then that means I have a.) more haste, meaning more rage, faster GCD, b.) More mastery, which means more attack power, or c.) more vers, which is more damage.
~resilience~ versatility will fix it
all stats have diminishing returns
Crit immune ftw
No shit
What's your point
Do you know how small the diminishing returns are? You'd need 40% of a stat (from rating) to even care about the diminshing returns
that having more in other stats brings less than balancing out your lower stats in terms of dps
Only non prot mains say this
no for haste its 30%
Zzz
lol
Bro
🍿
Diminishing returns kick in at 30% rating of a stat
what did i start 😄
For the first "tier"
Not 40% DPS difference for comparable ilvl
Do you know what that means?
🤔
do you lol?
not answering the question 😄
That means that at 30% haste from rating, that means that I get .9% haste from 170 rating insteead of 1% haste. HOLY SHIT
this is all yours XD
THE DIFFERENCE

HOW IMPACTFUL
Ok guys I hit 30% haste time to mastery stack because I only have 10%
It means it takes 17 more rating, SEVENTEEN. To get 1% than it did before 30%
Get that boss dps

ok different question, which packs do you guys pull in the 3rd section of Nokhud? i see a lot of tanks pull the low count Desecrated Boars 🤔
Ok folks funtimes over, let's get back to making fun of paladins
is it just me or is that pack giga not worth?
It's like 2%. Giga not worth indeed
Me kick for hole party and heal/brez pug healer who ami?
But it's also easy af
Yeah skip
Now, don't get me wrong here, stats absolutely have an impact on damage, or why would we sim at all? But no one out there could get a 90 parse instead of a 50 parse because of their stats.
So pull it with something else
or do the boars just die insta 🤔
pull it with something else
You need 94% Todo the backdoor?
yea
i pull like this, which already gets me 100% count 🤔
i could pull it, and skip the 2 casters in pull #18 🤔
Pulling too much somewhere else
i pull pretty much only what i have to in first+2nd area
Can pull those two casters with pull 14 anyways
Yeah, I honestly hate that trash
usually pull them with pull 18, cus it has no casters in the left pack
which?
Green balls in my face
never really fully understood what most of the stuff does in 3rd area nokhud
but doesnt seem to hurt that much on +18
like the wake undead or whatever the fk
most important things are kick casters and move mobs out of the big green swirley
i've never looked at an upcoming week's affixes and thought "huh seems rough" until this week. >.>
Guys how do I desync hyrja? First 20 my groups gotten
Stunning mortal strikes can be nice too
If you leave undead mobs in it it can get spicy
what does the swirley do?
its Chant the Undead u mean right?
gives the mobs 20 % DR
ohh
here's the copypasta i found, but i havent tested this extensively yet
Awesome ty!
going to test this in some m0 just to get used to it.
Pull to sanctify side (far enough that only the beam from that side is on her). Wait until just before expel light would show up (~5-6 seconds) on someone, then leap across and go far enough that she will move to the new beam without stopping. If you did it right, she'll do Sanctify on that side. If you didn't, then it's easier to just play it normal than try again.
Ty ty
It's easier to do by pulling her to one side than doing it from the middle imo
The timing is easier to get down
Good to know, I'll make note of that
You can do it from either side first also. If you want to start on storm side first to end up with a sanctify if you fail, that's fine too.
and then you just swap sides as usual from there on, yer?
Yeah at that point you just let the shield yeet you like usual
oof, just checked Quazii uptime of 2set, and its like 40% 😄
👀
that's certainly a number
I’m 2700 and struggle to get above 60% uptime. Trying to get to that 85% but damn I suck lol
i am trash and i have it at like 60-ish
they are cancelling the Iron Spear every time on last boss Nokhud, is that just Alliance Shadowmeld and Rogue Vanish? 🤔
or feign, yeah
Yessir
meld OP
Takes RNG though. I've held vanish an entire fight before and not get picked
Feels real bad
did anyone tried a 405 or a 418 darkmoon watcher? the description sounds interesting
lol
they did 22 nokhud, and went overtime by 27 seconds
with 1 death 🤔
holy shit
tbh damage looks so so
i am looking now at a 25 NO where the dps is a as follows: 126,126,114,72,23
timed with like 3 min left it seems
How big are they pulling for that kinda damage
probably big
pretty big
its Tyrannical
i have this in nokhud 22 with 1 death for half of first boss and 1 dead for 30% of 3rd boss
kinda sadge dmg
yes
thats what we talked about like 5min ago 😄
but yes
hes not doing SS and Revenge
timed?
70k dps for the tank in 25 NO
from what ive seen i think he also hardlocks dstance
not bad
by a minute or so
i did 78k in 21NO 
nice
was last week tho
not saying i would have omegapumped but doing 2 bosses with 4 people hurts overall
yer but u also could double pull pack normal groups dont

wtf
