you can only wear one cobalt ring so make it the dps one
it will until you get like 415 cos ring, crafted, and mythic eranog
kk
anyone here using ruby whelp? mine barely procs fully trained
i got one more
So even in higher keys where I'm at risk of dying, it's better to just have the DPS ring anyways and call it a skill issue?
It's always a skill issue
alright so
did a dungeon that I failed before but the dps players this time were actually good
and it was smooth as butter
I'm gonna stop blaming myself lmfao
First two weeks of xpac were a complete shitshow, when you finally have a group doing mechanics, interrupting, passably following their rotation, it feels like a completely different game
I did a 20 cos yesterday and failed by 30 secs, all 3 dps were below 50K overall 😂
Don’t even know how that’s possible as 410+ dps and 2500+ io
this is what i thought lariat was
and how i got it confused with how many gmes u have
What kinda dps do you reckon 400 ilvl players should have?
that seems like a horrible effect but still
cause they've all been ~35-40k for me
is there a wa that tracks vanguard ( 2 set buff ) ? cant find any on wago
My 395 alt combat rogue does >55k details dps in m+, as does my 400 ww (more like 60-65k), non AA. Everyone should be above 50k in an m+ at that ilvl.
If you’re doing 35K overall seek help
Only your friend can make your friend less bad
had a shadow priest trying to clear thundering at 10 secs left in prep for the runes at odin
friend runs away cause he wants that 30% damage
gets us all stunned, wipe
nice
"muh dps"
I once had a hunter feign the containment cell on 1st boss of Streets instead of turtling. When I asked about it, he said "turtle is a dps loss"
classic lmao
doesn't feign make it go on someone else instead
my favorite is the people who do those things while pulling extremely average to bad DPS in the first place
yes lol
because they notice it more because they can't do as well coping with mechs

speaking of which
Why tf doesn't the mage tower set match the mage tower weaopns
Yeah idk man, you could probably go pretty low fantasy and it wouldn' tlook bad though
do we get value out of shield block even though sennarth doesnt melee us?
You do 30% more damage with Shield Slam when Shield Block is active.
web blast is blocked
i can't decided if i want to craft a ring or a cloak
@vale glacier Sword and Shield from SotFO match it well
we haven't had a literally unblockable boss since eye of the jailer
only way im doing ring is if its hour glass
It's not about the socket; it's about being able to customize the stats on a slot that gives a lot of secondaries.
yeah imma do ring if im not doing cloak, for my last free spark
the hourglass ring is just cute, it's not actually more useful than a normal ring
Yeah it's the same as the other ring except with a weird random ass effect lol
as long as oyu don't lose stats for it
to old raids, that house transmog, the true end game
this seems to be my typical experience pugging keys. This was a 12 TJS
how to do better
Pray you get better people next time
nvm wrong chat lol
I knew I was missing something fundamental
idk that damage is plenty for a 12 tbh
yeah we still timed it fine
that was the reason I ran it at a 12...jumped across the room a few times but didn't die. 4 dps deaths standing in cone though XD
The weapon type makes no difference
no?
Not even sort of
The only reason sword is the common item is because it's common for people to have gone into that specialty
It has no advantages over any other weapon type
gotcha gotcha
have to get gems crafted now in df?
The primary stat gems you do
The others you can buy off the AH
Primary stat ones require the illimited diamonds which are BoP
er
the primary stat ones are BoP and require the illimited diamonds
if I could talk properly
we love haste
this one took me isle of thunder
game correct, 100% dont remember this place
absolutely don't remember
I wonder if it just takes you to a zone you haven't been to in a long time, or just zones with the lowest boss kills or something
The cobalt rep ring - what ilvl is it worth replacing?
Are you talking about the shield ring or the dps ring
Either? I’m using the dps one rn
Whenever it gets outsimmed
I wouldn't drop much ilevel for the shield ring personally
Maybe 10 ilevels
Kk I’ll sim it thanks
done 15 court runs 18+ past 2 days trying for whetstone i hate this place, kinda blasting tho with shiny new kurog trinket
almost 60k overall some dungs
Should I upgrade my Larriate first to 418 or Sword?
sword
finally 400
oh man I screwed up and made a shield and it's got a 3rd embellishment on it
do I need to find someone to re-craft one of my other items to remove the embellishment?
Well, recraft something, yes
ugh
either the shield or another item
😢
are we meant to push Execute much?
spriest giving me PI added 20k overall to my SBG dps
I presume we want to keep vanguard up as higher priority than exe?
iirc in ST, pushing vanguard back a bit for execute is a slight DPS gain? I remember Mwahi saying something about it, but I can't actually remember, so
Hey team I have over 3k valor- should I blow it on maxing out the AV shield? I’m currently rocking the 402 crafted one
yeah, this one i did just makes me so sad: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/yQm9fFjA3BdzJKCY/#fight=last
what key levels are you likely to do? you can get primal infusions/concentrated primal infusions to boost your crafted gear
and save valor for your m+ drops
lordy
I’m doing 15-16
ok yeah, don't valor blast your shield, just collect the concentrated primal things
Should be specified, you press Execute in single target
@pallid quiver
Thaaaat's the one, love ya Ghash
I've been telling people to ignore 2-set this whole time so I had to verify for my own sanity. Figured you guys would like to know for sure too.
I think if you super optimize it's uptime, it's a slightly larger DPS increase, but still minor
Finally got it last week. Keep on truckin
second i can im getting 4pc set
I think I remember seeing Nome and MWahi talk about that one
but that was even longer ago
3/5 right now, i would get 5/5 if i can even
it just feels right the get the entire set
literally key breaking
anyone mind @'ing me a nice council spam sick dps prot tank spec? 🙂
i lost all mine
yeah, i need hands or head
hello. Which crafted trinket is good for prot?
None of them are anything special
did the prot build change any?
Nope
my legs 402, are about to be 415 setpiece when I use catalyst. But I have two sparks and two 418 infusions, should I just make the trinket and replace blazebinder until I get something better?
It's your call. If you have nothing else that you need to use them on, go for it
Looks like you're fairly set outside of that trinket so it's not a terrible idea
Just use a droptimizer sim on prof items and see if it's actually gonna be worth though
Would suck to make it and then it's not better lol
Okay thanks !
I haven't seen alchemist stone trinket discussed much.. the 418 haste stone sims like ~700 dps higher than my 408 all totem but that's prob fake news right?
In what, ST?
Yeah, even higher dps increase with additional targets
is it better to aim for a high ilvl shield or mainhand?
nice!
Why not both? But I'd prio shield first
Shield first, then weapon
craft a 418 shield? 🤔

w=
anyone know what addon/wa shows important casts going off on your screen?
Yo question
is it normal to outheal your healer as warr in m+?
Is dwarf the play? in 24s
Is Phial of Eye in the Storm any good or should we be using something else?
It's possible/normal-ish. I wouldn't pay much attention to HPS meters in general. Did people die? No? Then it doesn't matter.
i use that and tepid versatility
it makes me want them doing more dps tho
the one about you stand still and get str and move and get ms seems to be a trap
theres another one thats you have to be alone from friendly players, that one sucks too
As far as DPSing on a healer goes, it really just depends on how comfortable they are with the key/their spec. But I'd rather they focus on keeping people alive if they're just gonna have people dying if they don't.
thats my opinion, debate me
dont expect healers in low keys to dps

can whetstone drop if I'm in prot loot selection?
no, which is very sad
noted
im set to loot as fury because ????
Are my stats okay here, this is haste rune on weap and not ITF yet
yeah dw about it
ilvl > all
prio haste and crit when possible.
or haste and vers if you wanna be part of the other tribe
vers and crit kinda equal
we just throw mud at each other
Yo gamers
M Kurog, earth ele dies during Bedrock
The bedrocks that go out from it that are invisible - do they do damage
Hey guys just going over logs for the prot warrior in my raid, he has 27% haste and only has like 50% uptime on shield block - this should be higher right?
yes
but theres definitely other issues, if you link a log we can see better
does he understand that its what 30%dmg increase to his SS?
more dmg and more threat
it's a bit more complex than that, context is important
I dont think theres a fight this raid where you wouldnt have SS up for at least 80% of the fight
Yea for sure but you cant answer a question unless you know other variables IMO
but yes 50% is low regardless
I agree, but Idk what variables would cause such downtime since any time you can dps you should have SB up
even if hes not actively tanking boss its more dmg meaning boss dies tiny bit faster
other tank just hit more threat buttons shrug
dead/executing instead (bad but i've seen it)/doesn't think he needs it for not active tanking
heaps of possibilities
yeah i do let my shield block fall down during execute phase while offtanking
still my uptimes are like 85-95, depending on fights
Yea my point is there's a lot of variables logs are just insane context when asking a question
but yeah, if someone has 50% uptime on shield block and/or ignore pain, they are doing things wrong
as in they're completely not there or just wont come down?
has someone tried doing some magic tricks or cheese mechanics with them?
Dont get bugged birds or better yet dont run AA
thats a gg next angle if they dont come down you can get a ranged to jump and tag them
Till its fixed
thats a GG next 
ive seen them bug out if someone dies during the bird packs, the small birds somehow cling to that guy if he releases
Just like last season of SL with taz bug where you would be able to get all instruments and the fight would break
Guess what it was never patched


Very rare it happened tho
also in azure vaults if you pull those whelp packs they teleport to the rest of your group after you die
which is a nice bug
and in azure vault one time someone cc's a vault guardian in the 2nd boss room, then we went down to kill those frogs
a couple of minutes later that vault guardian teleported to us in the last frog room
*cc'd
Ive not seen this before, second pack in smbg had a void ele teleport into the pack after pull.
ive seen it once
yeah has happened to me, big rip
They hurt when bolstered rofl
we always pull that pack to the spiderlings because of that
if the big boi suddenly decides to appear there
At first i thought blizz had stealth buffed the dungeon
anyone done the mage tower as prot? I can not get inquisitor down before 3 infernals and most guides say try to get him before the 2nd. Anyone able to do that this time around?
idk infernals are generally not something that I worry much about personally. I haven't done it on pwar this time around but I did it in Legion (I did Guardian in Legion and in SL). Less infernals really just means more space denial, but you basically never stop moving in p2 anyway and you have a charge if you happen to get yeeted. If they're causing a problem for you, then I'd worry. Otherwise I wouldn't let an arbitrary number bother you.
It's less generous than hew in my experience. But yes you can kite it
yeah but my mom raised no pussy
Lol, your healer must have loved that pack in a 22 then
much appreciated like always!
If you did mt in legion is there any reason to do it again?
the new armor set
How many stacks of Sundering Strikes are you all taking in heroic Vault from Grimtotem?
sheeeet ill take it
its ok, i need attention anyways kekW omegalul
Is there ever a reason to take more than 1?
We had taken 2 each in normal but we getting trucked doing that now
Yeah, there's no reason to take more than 1
Unless your healers wanna pad their parse
Does the sundering strikes dot stack?
Yes
Just dont mention it ever
Thats the sort of thing where you collectiveky wonder how no one else realized what the problem was and told you guys though.
Next raid night just be like I had a thought; let's swap on one stack and see how it goes. And then you're a hero.
It's not worth pressing unless you need the heal
You should really be using that as more of a safety net
The damage is insignificant
And not on cd
yeah but what if the victory was impending
Then maybe
Really impend it
Impend the fuck out of that victory
Who is hitting Impending victory at 60-70% health?
🤔
what do you guys think the next 4 piece will be?
my guess is "Whenever you cast Rend, you also apply it to one nearby enemy"
I don't understand your question
sorry, people in my guild are saying to use it at 60-70%... i said use it at 20-30%
If you're missing 30% health, use it
just wondering which of those most are using it
There's no reason at all to wait until you're that low. You shouldn't even really ever get that low.
double bone slash on first pack of sbg shudders
Usually milliseconds after a healer heals me
"During Shield Wall you get 5% Leech"
Oh baby
The next tier set should be a lot more interesting
They haven't done a first tier tier set in quite a while so they made them fairly mediocre on purpose
SL didn't have tier in S1, BFA didn't have tier at all, Legion didn't have tier in "S1"
I don't know if WoD did; I wasn't around long in that one before I took a break
technically nighthold was part of s1 in legion as far as i remember
"Your Bleed effects heal you 2% of the damage they deal"
It was the second raid though is what I mean
Emerald Nightmare didn't have a tier set
thanks guys, that was helpful ❤️
I hope they remove sets and therefore the need to raid to get bonus (and please dont come with, you can get it from vault / catalyst)
au contraire i wish they added more sets/unique items
they're the most fun part of the game imo
they were fun in legion
I'm still salty about them getting rid of the speed/CD reset embellishment
They should definitely do more misc set items, like the legion haste set etc.
i also hope they add legendaries but i doubt they will
majority seems to hate the idea of orange colored loot
They just suck at balancing them
Legions rng was baaaaad
Shadowlands was just bland
Borrowed power is a bad idea in general
i don't think legendaries have been exciting except for the original ones, but those have a million other problems when only a few can access them
Wow is all borrowed power by now with how frequently abilities and class mechanics are changed
That is not what borrowed power is
guys any macro for instance dance?
There's one in the pins
it's semantics, he's right; when in every expansion your abilities and talents change and your class is redesigned there's no inherent power anymore
remember this was borrowed power 2 months ago?
And yet, it is now part of the class
ty
This is the first expansion since WoD where we haven't had significant borrowed power.
Mw literally had one previously "borrowed power" now inherent removed and an old borrowed power replace it just within this season. Its all borrowed.
changing a talent or an ability is not borrowed power. It's called tuning/balance. Unless you think they should just leave specs alone and if they're bad they're bad idk
Borrowed power by definition is temporary. Talents are not temporary. Can they be changed? Sure. But we literally just got these talent trees so it makes perfect sense that they wouldn't be set in stone 2 months into the expansion.
At some point tuning becomes remaking. Id argue when you change one ability to something completely different, thatta not tuning. Thats replacement, and it sets the precedent that you cant expect anything about a class is permanent. Which is borne out since wotlk on.
Artifacts, legendaries, covenants, shards of domination, those are borrowed power
Tier sets are borrowed power too, though if they keep doing them like the current ones, I have no problem with that
Youre making a distinction without a difference, but its not a big deal and not worth arguing over. I hear you, but i think that you miss why borrowed power is bad with your definition.
Borrowed power IS bad. I never said it wasn't.
I said the opposite.
How am I borrowing something that is literally a part of my class/spec?
Remind me again when vers starts to have diminishing returns as a stat?
Blizz is just as likely to remove a thing from your class as they are a borrowed power item, hence everything is borrowed.
To answer your question though, all stats DR starting at 30% from rating.
that's what i thought
Im sitting over 4k vers and was thinking about pulling some out for Crit
but was not 100% sure if it would be beneficial to do so
You don't need any specific amounts of stats
You can have 0 vers and you'd be fine
Vers stacking is a meme
good morning, i have 376 lfr set piece and 392 non set on this slot, as tank i go for 4 bonus or 2 and itemlevel?
Are you doing keys or just raid?
hi Ruby Whelp shell should be trained full ST?
only keys
ok thx
Does anyone run bolster for any raid boss in particular? RL who is a fellow warrior was suggesting I use it on brood just wondering other opinions
if you need constant sb uptime just go hr
That’s what I’ve been doing swapping between itf and hr
hi Ruby Whelp shell should be trained full ST?
for what content
M+
dont use it
I have 3 in ST and 3 in AoE on my ruby 😄 About 6-7% overall damage in a key.
^ thats a good option if its your only item
Overall dmg doesn’t say much
well it does and doesn't
What?
?
SR will do 20%
it did 100% of my health through IP and SR
ahh haunting ok
on a +20
It doesn’t recast after stun
stun it
It’s fast though, but that’s the easiest way to outplay
you run bolster if you are running ITF to make up for SB downtime
weirdge
what gems should be used on the lariat? haste + vers?
haste + x
haste should be the lower stat so lariat procs it
proc vs static
ah, gotcha
Do we have new talent builds this week ?
No
O.o no
Can some one link the old buils then for M+ and raid. Had to reinstall and lost mine
They're in the pins

Am guessing the icy-vain wow head pin ?
TY
@mortal brook how bad are the bear bugs?
Almost as bad as the..bedbugs.
whats go to wep enchant for m+
Just realized I'm bad, bros this is unacceptable. I didn't fucking know that you could press Shield Block twice and the duration would increase... I thought that shit would get overwritten... same with Shield Charge applying Shield Block also adding to the duration
I've been fucking TROLLING trying to manage "shield block exactly one time every 8s and use shield charge in between"
fuck me
Hey kantharos, idk if you know this but Shield Block duration increases if you use it multiple times.
(up to 3x base duration)
so it can cap at 24s
yes
Or 18 if you aren't talented into Enduring Defenses (though idk why you wouldn't be)
I downloaded elvui and a shield block weak aura and I'm like, "wtf how is that timer way over 8s?"
I should make sure, another point of badness is I don't deviate to much from premade talent specs
which are notoriously unreliable
All the premade specs in the guides/pins should have it
I mean, there's no reason to slam ShBl
The CD is consecutive, not concurrent
You should be pressing it only as much as you need to keep it going, which is to say that the ideal situation is to avoid using the second charge as much as you can to ensure you have something in your back pocket. Keep it up for DPS and active tanking.
But just doubling down is doodoo
Nah but there's a difference between mashing it and knowing you don't have to wait til the very last milisecond to press it again
Yesterday there was a conversation about shield block uptime, so I was paying more attention to it.
Frozen.
@ionic fern hi ily
At like the beginning of a trash pull in +19 AV I'm hitting Shield Charge (throws up defensives, generates rage) then hitting shield block twice so I don't have to worry about it again for another ~22s... 100% uptime. Yea if it was a smaller pull or some scenario where I didn't need 20+ seconds of uptime I might not do that.
It's fine, i had a co-tank yesterday in a HC pug who did 11k ST DPS at 404 ilvl..had Ravager talented and used it exactly 0 times.
Sad thing is..he diddn't realise he was bad.

Good morning.
You hit Charge first tho, right..?
yea to get in
I freeze up like that when I'm pushing into keys I'm not experience with yet. Pay too much attention to defensives and stop doing damage like I should.
Literally don't need to do that. Off the GCD, you'll be flush with rage.
I work through it but I dip into "OMG DONT FUCK UP" mode and it just throws me off
Should probably be throwing Rav into a Charge into Demo + Shield Block
That way you have DR, damage, rage, cleave, and you're getting extra damage on ShCH
Well, i tried VDH tanking this week and realised that Warriors have a very-very-very good life compared to them.
Gave my healer like 50 heart attacks on the first RLP pull.
And myself probably like 60.
sadge
I honestly don't know how they get by.
😂
I had to actually kite.
Because no CD's.
nooby question, raidbots shows that upgrading my shield from 411 to 418 is like a 100dps upgrade. Is it super important to have a 418 shield compared to using it on another slot that sims higher?
it's your best defensive item
ty
So I'm running keys and logging them, but the DPS displayed on warcraft logs is always a little lower for everyone than details shows. Anyone know why
Yes, because logs count downtime. Details stops recording once everyone is out of combat.
sick I figured that might be it
Watched dorki on his vdh. Worse health bar than bdk
Pretty sure you can hover over the "Active" part and it will tell you the "DPS While Active".
Which should be pretty much the same as Details.
@robust lark
Too busy to watch streams.
And lack of interest.
But jeah.
I had it on on 2nd screen while keying on Holy pally
Lolol how old even r u
Old enough to buy a NES simulator on a USB stick with 1000+ games and play that instead of the Xbox.
Nes is king tho?
Found my good old ninja cat game.
I have all the old genuine consoles in my game room 😎
Blasting that.
Damn. You're not old enough 🤣
Megadrive n snes. Old Mario n sonic games bring back the good old gaming days
Jeah.
And the graphics don't even look bad since i'm already used to seeing cubes as my daughter insists on playing Minecraft.

🤣🤣
A game I never got into
A game i was forced into.
But I did help my daughter try build hogwarts
That was kinda...hard?
Safe too say we didn't get far
I dont have enough time to commit too that lol
I actually have a hard copy of this
Jeah.
I cant comprehend
Me and my brother spent so many hours playing it...
All we do is try to catch dogs and cats and parrots and things.
😅😅 I've got her playing wow a little now. N she plays sims. Meh

Saaaaame. I remember my brother slamming off the snes on thr last level of mario cause bowser ran towards the screen
For sure on her own account as not to breach blizzards rules.

He thought he was gonna come through
Well yeah it's free till lvl20
Also can't play with her on it on thr same account 😒
Level 20 comes in too quick
Learn nothing
Really?
Mine must be younger cause we can't level for nothing.
Too busy chasing bunnies and deers and discovering places

Well, regardless..VDH feels so weird to play compared to Warrior.
She's 11. Not really interested in chasing things. Just wanted too smash lol
I never lile the kiting playstyle
It's like "I take more damage, have less defensives, but also heal less".
Je, mine's 9.
We did Eranog -> Diurna 10+ wipes -> Rasz..and then i left.
That warrior was something else.
He lost aggro on Diurna ON PULL

To a DPS'er.
And then complained "stop doing DPS".
"Can't hold aggro".
He was 404 ilvl.

But you know..i get curious as to what's going on
So i go and look at the log
And see this:
His casts in the first 20s of the fight.
any taunts in chat
Suuuuurely the boss was on the wrong side on pull for his egg route?
I do less taunts than that in a single dungeon sometimes
No.
😂
Yikes haha
Does he know that taunt itself doesn't generate threat?
Kinda gotta cast more than 2 abilities in nearly 23 seconds
If that pic is any indication, taunt is the ONLY thing that generates threat.
I doubt it.
He was doing 11k DPS.
Had Ravager talented.
Used it 0 times.
Jesus
I have aded logs for my prot here if anyone want to look: #449510248579858432 message
I think I get all the feedback but maybe I miss something
is warrior still in a good spot despite more nerfs...?
Yes
okay
thats a link to wow analyser not logs
ah, right. Do you rather have logs then the wow analyser?
Do you have a link to the nerfs?

My guikdies keep asking me if I’ll play warrior now that it’s been nerfed to the ground and idk what they’re saying
Tell them "Yes".
tell them its deadge
I mean, 6-7% more physical damage taken is still a lot less than other tanks LOL
true
I’ll tell them it’s dead so they’ll think I’m god tier
When I don’t die
lol
no 6-7% on blockable damage
i havent played in afew weeks
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/aNW8pZCRVHAGzyL2 I suspect that I uses IP too often. When I am 100 Rage I usally do two Revenage if I have IP and SB up, maybe that is incorrect? Somehow I am not spaming Thunder Clap enough.
Analysing m+ logs for errors in gameplay is a pain. 😦
Are there any videos or written guides on how to analyse prot war logs properly?
Quickly:
-You're blocked hits is 65% which is awfully low for the talent build you're running. Should be 85%+
-You seem to be casting IP wayyy too much.
-You are not casting SS/TC on CD.
-You are not casting your CD's enough.
your also running Barbaric tuning
Personally I wouldn’t run the revenge talent
which cause a tone of rage issues
The good old Jakey copy-pasta.
Thanks a lot. Will definitely give that a look
Does the SB help with Block hits or is it I that are not front to the trash mobs? The other are correct. I use IP when there are lot of things is going on.
I don't know?
😂
I'd need to see a replay of your play
.To know if you were facing the mobs or not.
It's just me to try to understand what is happning, but it can be one of the reason right?
This is a video from SL..but a lot of what @modern brook says still holds true (he goes over someones replay and explaining what they are doing wrong):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l5H6cGEXxk
Yes.
Shield Block is your main mitigation tool, you should aim to have it up as much as possible when actively tanking.
@ionic fern when are you doing review videos :(
I mean
I've always offered to look over peoples shoulders if they stream to me on Discord so i can give live feedback...
Good point. I just took it from WowHead talnet build. I should change it. Here is the build. Any tips where I shoukd spend it https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/protection/DAPAURUUUkRRQRpFRRBBNVUVEVFRFVYVUQDQBA
Think i've had only 2 people take me up on that offer.
But they do get good.

I didn’t know 
His stream reviews are literally just him yelling GIT GUD over and over again
The Analytics say I have 95% SB uptime so I was confuse that I had low blocks then expected
wowanaylser isnt maintained its very likely its doesnt work correctly
It makes the person i review angry..and then they need to learn to...manage that anger.

And if they learn to Anger Management correctly ..it means they are already 80% good.

Solid lesson plan
WoWAnalyzer is not up to date for Prot.
Our good old friend @sullen valve is MIA.

WoWanalyzer isn't update for a ton of specs
That's explains it
Hope you're doing good buddy.
I saw the Barbaric Tranning discuss and I agree with it not now I saw I have it in my talnets 😅
Also
Im new to prot warrior have been playing it for a week and have a question. Does Punish apply to all enemies or is it just the one target you shield slam?
Just the one.
So I should put that talnet point some here else
ty
I don't think your blocking issue is turning your back. At least, not most of the problem. Your Shield Block uptime in general is low (which is not an incredibly important metric but as low as it is, it's a warning sign).
Take the m+ talent build from pins.
You very rarely have to kite.
0 at the levels you are doing.
You use it to Interrupt Casts.
would you take a 389 sacle or a 405 whelp shell , with crit trained for the big brained parry proc lol
granyths sorry ahah
im convincing myself the haste would be past the DR ceiling nad the crit gives me parry >.>
I just trained it ST cast.


Is sim your gear the best why to see what stats you should go for? e.g. if I am close to 30% Haste, I should focus on Ver och Crit.
Oh, I am very bad to use spell reflaction..... Should I just use it all the time if the pack has casters?
focus on ilvl, stat weights are not good way to choose gear, if you need sim you can sim particular gear pieces
no, that way you could waste it to reflect no casts at all, or reflect some irrelevant low hit
genshii's SR wa is good if ur slackin
It's better than not using it at all
Okey, so if the party is good to interrupt all casts, spell refection is not needed at all?
if party is good they will intentionally not interrupt some casts so you can SR them 😉
😂
Fixed
thats funny
Is bear good yet Steve?
my /yell on reflect makes people kick
I'm about to do Mage tower on it..so i can bear playing it.
haha, good point!
I see what you did there
It's still 20% magic DR, there are alot of aoe pulses where you should send it just for the DR
Yeah, that was I was thinking about
And some casts are not interruptable, for example first boss in RLP
5 good tanks

"warrior dethroned by BRM monk!? Monk scale with gear giga!?"
What's the issues tho?

Nice.
prideful 
I swear..other tanks would be tankier if they just wore plate and equipped a shield.
Idk who the hell thinks:
"I'm going to equip leather gear and double weapons and/or a staff TO TANK!"
Back in the day, i had an opinion that class without a shield cant be a tank
Drick beer to take less dmg
Even inside Avatar, do you guys still use shield slam over thunderclap if there are no more than 4 targets ? I'm never sure which one to use first when shield slam procs
But class fantasy being a big moma bear is very nice to me 🙂
cant kill what you can't hit
Not sure if a pun about other tanks having to kite or a reference to brews dodges.
yes 

have a friend who was losing his shit over how badly blizz bugged bear
Fixed within 2 days of live, and you didnt even play half that shit. Complain more about state of tbh
When is Rogue dodge tank coming back?
Mists classic with symbiosis
pog
im so friggin annoyed on how easily dps players like to accuse tanks for tiny mistakes but when a dps player ninja pulls or dies for no good reason theyre just silently igonring it
Just ignore them.
99% of DPS players are mongs.
but why are they like this?

mongolians
Stamp shout for arms fury, and savage def for prot
ah yea
Because they think all they have to do is DPS.
They don't think about:
-Having to dodge things;
-Having to interrupt things;
-Having to use their utility;
-Having situational awareness;
They think they have 0 responsibility.
-having to know the dungeon
-having to know the mobs
tldr dps dont need to think to be good dps
god forbid you have to position a mob so a frontal goes of in their direction
they just need to push their buttons and pray everyone else does their stuff for them
then they rage
don't forget they think they don't have to do any mechanics
I got blamed by DPS'ers for failing a +16 when they had a combined deathpool of 20 and i was 2nd on overall DPS done.
🤷
being a tank is like playing jungler in league
since you can have a lot of impact its easier to blame you if something fails
"you shouldve fixed it"
yer but you didnt pull around there cds which is why they were so low
Je, for sure. 😦

"i had to do mechanics because the other dps didnt want to"
thats why i do 45k overall
yeah. just feels like theres no win sometimes. if you play risky and something fails its your fault. if you dont you get blamed for being slow
Or dead and don’t see ur dmg cause dead don’t track
Reminds me of Sennrath progress:
-DPS'ers die before reaching 3rd platform..no one says anything, just CR
-Tank Dies 2 times : "WTf??? Why are you dead?? We don't have CR!!"
ugh
Except bear is teemo this season
No, no, you gotta to the MDI pulls because that one DPS'er in your group saw it.
So you do it..and they do negative DPS.
And you fail.
And get blamed because "shit tank died".
sorry for the rant. needed to vent
Ya good
i got chewed out by my entire raid because i let dps who pulled early die 
after i repeatedly say "dont pull before 0 pls"
You pull, you die.
Worth
then i started reseting the boss when that happened
You're just doing him a favor
Didn't need these flashbacks this early 😂
in TJS, the last pack before the last boss - is there anyway to LOS the aoe?
the haunting gaze?
I would be so happy.
yes i think the sha does a big aoe
?
Its all direct hits, but you can disrupt the claw and gaze casts
you either have:
haunting gaze
dark claw
or big sha who do small mobs that explode
Infester does the breath, sidestep it
I think he means the little sha explodes ?!
ah i think its the explosion, there is a huge aoe dmg
Wait what?
You need to stagger it
What
Small sha's boltser?
Noo way
Lol no
that last pack is the real boss of TJS this week
unless the person i watched yesterday had broken nameplates
looked like it
i dont play 🤷♂️
But..you're a warrior. 😦
AoE Stun->SR->Sw->Spell Block->SW->SR
i'm not the one dying, my teammates melt
You forgot fear
it feels like some big aoe
It's either the frontal beam from the big sha or tiny adds exploding.
Can't really say without logs.
Nothing else goes on there for them.
I Went w/o spellb in +20 tjs 🤣 and facetanked the pack - I managed it but healer dies
not frontal. its an aoe, i think its add explosion
^
That pack has been such a moving target for me week on week. I've had groups who finesse it, and it's like it wasn't even there, and I've had groups that were on pace for a solid +2 deplete due to handling it poorly
In Frontal and flames me for breaking the cc, and we were +15 sec over he did 4K dps dudu heal btw 🤣
Btw why is mail on Hunter like paper?
if i find a proper group maybe
i've pugged my way up until 23s but it's unbearable anymore

is there a good seeing red/vo weakaura
if im saved to an instance of Vault of incarnates and killed most bosses, and then I run it again with some friends in a 10 man, will they get overall less loot because im saved and they are not? as in will it count it as 9 people in terms of loot
how do you guys have Boss Frames on your UI? 🤔
i have boss frames off to the side, but i wantthem to be pushed down a bit when there is Key timer, but not when im in raid 😬 seems like its not really possible with default UI
U can do 2 „ui profiles“ and change it. Then write a Makro that Switches the profiles
The one in Afenar's suite is pretty good
Essentially each person in the raid that is loot eligible is a 20% chance for an item. Normally a 10 man raid has a 100% chance to get 2 items (20% per person x 10 = 200% = 2 items). So if you were to join them while locked, each boss you are locked to would reduce their chance for that second item by 20%.
Or to put it another way, there'd be 1 guaranteed item drop and an 80% chance for a second.
thanks, so if we got 1 more and made it 11, that would then be the same as regular unsaved 10?
Yes
@strong forum has a good set up. https://wago.io/RwQjeeIek
thanks Ghash

Hello guys, in what situations is recomended spell block?
Non-dot heavy magic dmg*
Hi guys, quick question, anything i should be aware of in brood adds on heroic? only tanked her
there are some frontals
yer they fucking annoying
was out of the animation
nah the circles just move out further than the original cone
cool
👍
It’s a cone, then the actual frontal has another animation after. So don’t move back in just after the ground effect cone is gone 🙂
Also I think only a few mobs out of all the packs does it.
i know its a cone
i was red and got hit because the second circles dont follow the cone apprently
is it worth ot drop pain and gain for barbaric training?
no
because u dont need it
but u dont ever run barbaric
it does nothing
makes u rage starved
and makes tier set worse because u revenge less
BT being 25% damage for 50% cost increase doesn’t seem a good trade. (Specially with tier set where you want to use it every 5 seconds)
on ST
its within the margin of error
so its literally garbage
u can use it in one place
and thats parse whoring on council
Does anyone have a mechanism of being notified when someone (or your co-tank) rips aggro off you?
the game has that by default should say high aggro if u are ripping threat
i can also see the aggro glow on my party frames
@jagged pier drop pain and gain for intervene?
but u shouldnt be loosing threat as a prot warrior
why?
u use intervene
in one place
and thats HoV
wolf boss
ye i see
This is what I run in keys
Yeah I have it on my nameplates, but clearly it's not enough!
Not a major issue, but me and the co-tank have pulled aggro off each other a few times. I am mainly interested in getting a notifcation (ideally audible) when I lose aggro (happy for that to be in a legitimate situation i.e. taunt swap)
I drop sidearm for intervene in Halls of Valor but otherwise it remains unchanged
The boss name plates for a big NCP are right at the top of the screen, and not where my focus is, so I'm missing it
Which is fun on Terros when you drop it's frontal on your raid 🙂
whyyyyyyyyy
more leap
what u need it for
leaping
leaping
obviously
hows that QoL its just usless ;s
lol
its reduced CD on a massive move ability. How is it useless?
Lower CD on mobility spell...increased movespeed after mobility spell... how is it useless lol
I accidentally didnt have bounding on for sennarth after terros on wednesday
Was horrible
u use leap -> enter the pack -> kill it in more time than 45 sec-> leap is back again
is into the fray more a dps gain? and for pushing keys run HR?
packs dont last shorter
leap in pack?
its more damage but u dont run it in high keys
the higher u go the more u want HR
yer i dont know why anyone would do that
ok
Yeah it can be real danger zone to play ITF in high keys. A buster combined with your block dropping can mean floor pov real fast
Again, what am I gonna use instead? I get use out of just having the 70% movespeed after leaping. It's not all about the CD reduction.
or increased max rage
Or, you just don't cap rage, and then you don't need increased max rage
u will cap rage
i support you ghash i might spec it myself next time i run hov
I will not cap rage because I know how to play my spec
not if you play properly 
no u will
Nope, sure won't
...
Violent outburst erasure smh
its fuels AM
read the anger management tooltip
do you not like 250k shield slam crits?
now that we are on the topic of rage spending, since im a lil newbie prot, would you rather "spam" IP than revenge? so basically just revenge every 5 seconds for the buff or
no
u IP if your going to overcap
gotcha
we love feedback loops
:D
In ST/lower target counts its just about generating as many shield slam procs as you can. When it's on CD, use TC and revenge. It generates more rage which means more defensive value through IP (and IP gained through violet outburst) and it generates CDR through anger mangement, taking CD off avatar and shield wall.
If you play with impenetrable wall and AM, your shield wall CD is around 55-60 seconds instead of the 3.5 mins shown on the tooltip.
Avatar becomes a 35-45 second CD etc.
yeah, i kinda went in not really pressing shield wall for quite a while
realized its like on no cd, so now its being used generously lmao
it's good?
Nah
I've got it as standalone download aswell
@strong forum saw your mage tower vid and trying to follow!
make sure to reflect twisted reflection instead of kicking it like I did in p2
okok
I was glad you remind me that talnet! I want this in AV in the last boss
