prot war has such an easy time in mage tower - so much mobility to kill all the eyes and not worry so much about anything else

naive trellis
#

whats the general rule of thumb between using Dstance and Battle?

edgy spear
#

Bstance as default. Switch to dstance if you can't live stuff otherwise.

wild kayak
#

prot war get d stance?

thats why i type e xp rev usage fuq up

u fucked up rev usage

because u used it to much

Yeah sorry bro, language barrier

viral oracle

#

Resources tab i believe

#

then choose Rage

jagged pier
#

TLDR CPM is wrong on everything

#

wrong talents

#

wasted rage

strange chasm
#

so less rev and more cast for everything else

cinder sail
#

Poor lad didn't do a thing right sadge

strange chasm
#

ty for your time will try work on that

viral oracle
#

Does that statistic mean that u are capping over max rage basically?

#

So all the rage past 100 is recorded as wasted?

hasty wraith
#

Are there any desired CPM you want to aim for in relation to all the main rotational spells? If you don’t consider variance on SS procs obviously

viral oracle
#

Is it better to waste rage still than miss GCD on SS? I suppose so

lofty widget
#

neither

#

just IP

lofty widget
#

that's what it's there for

viral oracle
#

Ok yeah, that's where that ip ss macro comes handy

Is there an addon for filtering out raids with 2 tanks and dungeons that already have a tank?

Can’t be worse than guardian

hardy snow

This is universally the law at blizzard, prot warriors are only allowed to be good in the last season when nothing matters

No cares about raid lol

Battle for dazalir

Fuck phone typing

toxic gyro
#

We were good enough to clear raid

uneven mason
#

I mean that patch

toxic gyro
#

And we were meta in m+

uneven mason
#

We literally got 1 shot by throw stone in s1

#

We were no where close to meta for the first major patch

#

You've got some insane Rosey goggles

toxic gyro
#

I mostly tanked in m+, can’t speak from raiding perspective

#

I was 95% dps in raid

#

Only tanked couple fights like council, bc our dk tank was getting shit stomped by Kimbul.keks

#

Or one of the council 🤔

uneven mason
#

I tanked both and while we were secret strong for several things, in m+ it was incredibly challenging because bleeds and unlockable damage abounds.

Oh and IP in the GCD? Fun

toxic gyro
#

Whichever was hitting hard and putting bleed on you.

strong forum
#

Everybody hated on pwar in bfa for raid

#

"but magic dmg"

#

People lost raid spots and got kicked out of guilds because they were pwar in bfa

#

Like the disconnect was insane

#

"op in m+ but dogshit in raid" wtf kind of logic was that

gloomy sphinx
strong forum
#

Hence why I strongly disagree when people claimed "paid for your sins in bfa", pwar still got absolutely memed by the community for the other big pillar of the game and everybody forgets about that

brazen summit
#

if anyone has new talentbuild for raiding ?

strong forum
#

Pins

toxic gyro
#

Good point, as I said I didn’t know how it was in raid because I was dps. I only had perspective from m+point of view.

I always laughed when people in my bfa guild wanted me to tank keys but wouldn’t let me tank raid

Prot War was pretty cool in EP... though I was forced to play Blood for Azshara

Meanwhile our guild was gonna double prot war... but I went blood for S4 cause I was like "wow, look at the maut wep, it must be stonks!'

Azshara can suck a nut

toxic gyro

But it died

#

My p2 dmg was good 👍

gloomy sphinx
#

Honestly Azshara is like top 5 my favourite final bosses

toxic gyro
#

Did u tank it or dps

plush tendon
#

it always came down to the console, and everytime we were looking at the kill pull... we forgot to do it

gloomy sphinx
toxic gyro
#

Probably why. As melee dps it was one of if not the worst fight ever

plush tendon
#

hes gaslighting you

#

tanking that was a pain

#

and if I ever have to do that p1 again... I may lose it

gloomy sphinx
#

Tank on pwar with pally co tank, I wouldn’t say it was a horrible pain honestly

Vast majority of the groups won’t invite you for a key unless you did same key lvl or higher and you’re meta.

Bdk is better in 6/8 keys than pwar

uneven mason

i can fuckin live with my IV though as it is or even if they decide to nerf it again

slim zinc
#

you say that but when I heal I only try to do damage and get mad when people take damage

plush tendon

and when I was playing Prot in SL, healers loved me cause they are like 'wow.... your damage intake is so smooth... my heart attack is gone'

Getting score by yourself<<<<getting score with the bois

i just wanna find some pepegas the exact same as me and go in and win

and then we never see eachpther ever again

#

thats what gaming is about to me, meeting new people

hazy thicket
#

I'm honestly finding that the community perception has been harmful in a way that I didn't expect. I was getting trucked on 3rd boss TJS earlier, and people in the group were giving me shit when I was dying while heal absorb was still up, because they assume prot warrior is immortal

i macro no button to no other button

plush tendon

so I know what you are referring to.... I just dont know how to was triggered

woven trellis

step 1, be a random johnny dps tagging in a pug
step 2, be carried by other dps players doing mechanics, interrupts, control
step 3, think tank takes no damage because its broken
step 4, pug again, but now you with other johnnys
step 5, die blame the tank

maybe one of you just wasnt in range fast enough?

Cheaper and more primary

oh, oh, hmm wtf i did sustained str twice

Waking seems to be the more popular choice

there really isnt a huge difference

at least 2 times i used rank 2's (chest sustained str) rank 1, 5 gold, rank 2, 35gold rank, 3, 6500 >.>

someone recommended macroing ip to something earlier, i think it was shield slam?

Doesnt replace a keybind tjo

quiet minnow
#

ok so you're still casting ip seperately, just also with ss

lofty widget
pulsar sedge

The point is if shield slam procs when you are pressing IP, it will instead do the more important slam

viscid plaza
#

ahhh

#

Makes sense

tropic tangle

it'll do both since IP is off the GCD

i think i misunderstood here

viscid plaza

out the two, do u take inspiring presence or intervene ? i typically take inspring, seems more useful in general

pulsar sedge
#

You have a normal SS and a IP that does SS too. Nothing changes

viscid plaza

So it both uses IP and generates rage from the SS proc

sick sentinel

is pain and gain the better option then?

Intervene is only good in HoV
Inspiring presence only in raid

If you need spellblock, then yes.

spell block is very key related imo

uneven mason

spell block i have learned is another "don't die button"

which is super important to me

sterile bough

its your choice I'd say 900k dark claw pre mitigation and spell block blocks around 50% is a bit better than 3% overall from tough as nails

quiet minnow

yeah that sounds nice

another keybind!

True, but you can just walk backwards away from dark claws anyways

Can’t sim anything other than damage

pretty much; you can follow the stat prio of I level>haste>crit=vers>mastery

Generally yes within reason

and for trinkets, theres a general list of what we like

Whichever option gives you more stats

Shield>Wep

cedar trench

In combination

you can also upgrade a wep to 415

rather then shield

late wasp

Small dps vs defensive decision then

Enchanting mastery seems weirdge

late wasp

I went really hard into Haste/Vers

plush tendon

might be playing fury or arms main spec

late wasp

and I keep seeing people doing otherwise

plush tendon
#

so they follow those sims

#

and use whatever they have left for prot

late wasp
#

That's probably the case

#

I just parse so shit for damage....

plush tendon
#

for my prot specific gear (one hand sword and shield) i went vers/haste and for things like lariat I went haste/crit

late wasp
#

There's probably a whole laundry list of things I'm just being bad at

hard quartz
#

the only real breakpoint is at 30% stat you start getting a diminishing return so it may give better ROI to invest in the next best stat ?

plush tendon
#

but gear is frankly a small portion of what will make you better; as long as you equip highest I level, youll be alright

#

more often then not, its your gameplay that will account for the largest increase in surv and damage

I agree. Perhaps I am making the wrong decision. During Avatar on trash pulls, I am trying to use TClap on every CD. So my rotation is TClap -> Revenge -> TClap -> SS -> TClap -> S-Charge/T-Roar/Ravager. I'm just struggling with having enough GCDs.

ITF gets you more damage mostly. HR gives you a much smoother SB uptime. with ITF you'll have gaps without high enough base haste and pretty much requires you to take bolster

frozen is more damage, sophic is good and brings some defensive value

noob question, how does refreshing SB work? if you use both charges back to back, does the duration get added or one overwrites the other

Actually at higher ilvls i think the become comparable

Sophic v frozen

if you have bolster and use last stand it'll add 15 regardless to if it goes over the cap though
