In Legion you could legit kill Inquisitor from range keks

is downgrading a piece of gear 30 ilvl worth 4 piece?

30ilvl on shoulders is quite large

but 4pc is quite a defensive gain

should i take filial if i already have diurnas chosen and belt to proc it

did we ever talk about what trinkets were best for prot in the raid if you don't have whetstone or incarnate? we were talking trinket buts but I got pulled into a meeting and missed it.

oh right, thats why i love shamans, they have a very short CD on kick

#

there's like... no correlation

bloodborne is still the absolute tiniest big pull aoe dps optimization in exchange for talents that are more broadly good

#

trinket preferences anyone? I have 402 whet, 421 incarnate, 415 Deco of Flame and 411 Torch. What combo is your fave?

woven trellis
#

wet incarnate for m+ grieftforch incarnate for raid?

mighty valley
#

your torch prob outdoes your whetstone but takes a bit more thought on when to activate in m+

visual agate
#

hmmn so whet for ease torch for maximization

mighty valley
#

incarnate isn't great for m+, more worth for raid if you're activating everyone else's icons

visual agate
#

incarnate isnt that good in m+ even as a stat stick?

#

our other tank has incarnate already

mighty valley
#

it's ok, you can sim it, and double on-use can be awkward which is your only other option

#

hopefully you can replace it with an alltotem or something soon

visual agate
#

I have a 405 all totem

#

but i've always heard it wasn't good for some reason

#

so whet/totem?

mighty valley
#

if they were all same ilvl whet/totem would be the no brainer but honestly you should probably just sim the damage

#

and if there's only a small difference, take into account the defensive bonus of totem

lunar scarab

with the 4pc set from revenge does the IP shield block 50% of one hit or 50% of the shield but you receive 100% of the remaining damage?

mighty valley
pallid quiver

IP works by redirecting 50% of damage intake to the absorb. If the damage goes over the absorb amount, it just goes back to your HP

#

It is not a 50% dr

strong forum

if the hit does 500k, and you have a 50k IP, you will take 450k and be left with 0 IP
if the hit doe 50k and you have a 50k IP, you will take 25k and be left with 25k IP

Why don't u consider the helm to be 415 ilev? with a bit of valor

dodge or parry = counterattack frontal damage on mobs

Yeah that's also an option Taurine

#

I'm currently at 2050 rating though so would need a bit more to upgrade it

inland garnet

I don't play with these trinkets but because they aren't upgradable and because you can get higher ilev alternatives from spamming m+

when im in melee on warrior, and click a spell, it auto targets a nearby enemy. But when i do it on my evoker it doesnt 🤔
is there any way to do that in a macro maybe?

also, only works on warr for stuff that doesnt require a target afaik

anyone know if i can do tab-target in a macro?

# craggy pilot ? wdym?

My initial problem is I have too many keybinds, and I'm trying to better manage stance to maximize dps. So I guess I eliminated one button with the stance macro,

/cast [stance:2]!Defensive Stance;!Battle Stance

prisma crane
#

no clue why demo has to be on the gcd

craggy pilot
prisma crane
#

someone mentioned similar items with shift modifiers and i liked that, like charge and shift charge to shield charge

modest gulch
#

I'd like to do a bunch of stuff like this where, before casting specific abilities I make sure I'm in a particular stance.

#showtooltip Shield Wall
/cast [stance:2]!Defensive Stance
/cast Shield Wall

prisma crane
#

also, dont pass on the scroll wheel

prisma crane

i have 9 things on my scroll wheel lmao

#

i don't see the benefit of the mod keybind macros over just having two keybinds, can anyone enlighten me

i would assume to reduce bar bloat but that's about it

craggy pilot
#

but for Prot i dont

mighty valley
#

you need to see the two CDs anyway right?

prisma crane
#

not always, but yea, its why i have intervene on my bars but don't have it bound

#

i wanna see it

modest gulch
# craggy pilot that is bad

could you tell me why, sorry its not obvious to me other than if I am currently in defensive stance with that macro it drops me out of defensive stance.

prisma crane
#

because you dont always need D stance when you shield wall

craggy pilot
#

its like putting 2 bandaids on a wound

modest gulch
#

I could see it being overkill for M+ low keys

craggy pilot
#

then in that case you press both buttons

prisma crane
#

^

craggy pilot
#

but usually on a pack in M+, if you pop Shield Wall, you survive it just fine

#

and do more dmg

prisma crane
#

you're not technically wrong Kan, it's just giving up control in favor of ease

#

and i would prefer control

#

plus most of us are dps whores, D stance we use begrudgingly when we need to

naive panther
#

I only pop both if needed.

robust lark
#

They yelled at me about this earlier I've swapped out of defensive stance for like 5 minutes total since Christmas and now have to change my evil ways.

modest gulch
#

I have too many buttons I'm maxed out on control, and I'm trying to automate a little bit.

#

I'm in the same boat Sham, my parses are shit because I never used battle stance

#

99% of the time you dont need it and just think you do

woeful reef

so you just roll battle stance all the time in m+ or only when youre popping sw?

prisma crane
#

you'll learn when you do though

modest gulch
#

yea it feels like a mental block

robust lark
#

I edited the weak auras for tracking shield block and ignore pain to give audible queues when the auras hide (when sb and ip drop off) and it's helped me a lot maintaining my uptime on both the last day. Hearing "iiiidot" when I let shield block drop is motivating

prisma crane
#

pretty much only D stance on something like Crawth or 3rd boss in TJS

Or last pack in TJS after you get aggro

dont need it there

trying to think of an ability that I do not use on bosses that I could spam as a substitute for a battle stance confirmation key... like hamstring maybe?

last pack you just reflect first, then you can SW if you want

then you can spell block

and most of the shit is dead by then

Neilsen, what I mean by confirmation key is a key I can press... which activate another ability... but would also shift me into Battle Stance if I happen to not already be in battle stance... but would serve its other function also

this one is good also

shows how much dmg you reflected

what is that macro lmao

potent fulcrum
#

Hey, it might be a stupid question but I have nowhere to ask. Im kind of handicapped and can't really press buttons efficiently. My biggest issue when playing prot war is pressing Ignore Pain and Shield Block separately. Is there a way I can macro it to some other spell and not lose too much or something similar?

prisma crane
#

if im honest, you're probably better off just always sitting B stance and just do like i do and click D stance the few times you've learned you might need it

#

like P2 3rd boss TJS or for Crawth, etc

he can spawn on the same spot

pretty sure the problem is if you pull the bottom enforcer, to the top enforcer

You can pull literally only what's in front of you and then before second boss you can just grab whatever to fill %

I've not had any % issues outside of HoV tbh

HoV and AV are the only dungeons where route and pack size can really screw you

It's interesting that we are taking battering ram instead of thunderlord. I would have thought better availability of a defensive like demo shout would be a good thing

Ah nvm

Thought it was m+

Battering Ram is also good in M+

Thunderlord is kinda bait

the defensive value is small

Battering ram does a lot of things - snap threat, SS resets

there is arguments for both

safe mango

How come the defensive value is small though?

thunderlord often doesn't even get you additional relevant casts, timing just awkward sometimes

you wont get this if you have Thunderlord

it will desync

I guess for almost all circumstances you will have it up for almost every pull in a dungeon

you save it on some boss fights where you need any defensive you can get but mostly you send it on CD for damage

i run Impenetrable Wall + Armor Spikes on everything other than Temple

Impenetrable Wall makes ur Shield Wall CD insanely short

i don't really know the differences came over from bear main and just picked a random key build off wowhead

is allied wrist of companionship good for m+ as well as raid?

Use the build in the pins for keys

so double value

craggy pilot

yes

free stats

its same same as other embelish
