iw as waiting for each charge,was like spreading them
That makes way more sense. Think it's something w/ whatever blizz did to the avatar spell ID at patch?
@oak echo hmm..my shield block lasts only 5 sec,what makes it go to 8?
I have 5269 haste.
it's either 6 or 8. it's 8 with enduring defenses which you absolutely should always run
ROFL yeah well that's not right
Somebody broke the Sims
Oop
ugh
it dun got borked
smooth asf RLP run until 1st boss
@oak echo ok i didnt have enduring,the pin i belive it had the other one
show blizz sims and have them buff us 🙂
@oak echo can u check and see if all is good in here now?
3rd try I am basically self healing and micromanaging defensives
Priests are so uselss
spell reflected every frigid shard I could with CD
dstanced etc still not living
I've yet to beat a healer on the overall meter, but I can outheal the people I'm grouped with on lots of pulls it's kinda awesome
for general purpose M+ this is pretty standard
u might outheal priets XD
good build to learn on at the very least till you get used to teh changes you can make for different situations
Lol
If u outheal your healer it might mean that your group is playing good
like dps dodging shit popping defensives
that the healer just focuses on doing dmg
out of curiosity, who maintains the apl for prot warriors? i thought it would be folks here?
Cuz of the new spellID for Avatar
at lower ilvl should my gems be pure haste, or haste/crit?
Always duo stat gems
so shield charge extends duration of shield block
why would avatar need a new spellid anyway
shield charge is fkn broken
40 rage
almost 1 rage per sec
60 rage act
like 1.3 rage per sec
revenge proc
90 rage act
2 rage per sec
shield block
yes. think of it like a 3rd shield block charge - works the same way as far as duration goes
sry for spam i thought out loud
and its not possible to have 100% uptime on shield block right?
it is
only if sc available at start tho right?
I think u might go shield slam +1 sec to block over IoF if u want 100% uptime SB
but why
between SC, 2 SB charges, and heavy repercussions you can definitely have 100% with proper play
sec looking for what iof stands for xD
k
i meant into the frety
But you can easily get 100% uptime
why are you intentionally doing less shield slam damage
Just talent into heavy repercussions + enduring defense + champions bulwark
Boon, done
Block god!
mmm avg shield block does 30k maybe avg revenge does 10k if 1 target
probs similiar value
my logs feel pretty lame. sometimes i'll hit somewhere in the 80% for my ilvl. sometimes kinda sad. i think I was in the 60% for mythic eranog. Comparing a high log, with a fight during same duration, I noticed they had way more casts of revenge, and maybe 10 or more shield slams. Any ideas? Besides just...play better lol? I honestly feel like I hit my buttons rightt but I guess not. I feel like I dump a lot of rage into ignore pain, but if I dont I feel like ima rage cap
probs have like 80-90% uptiem without caring about it anyway
Just send over a log
If I have outburst I try to shield
98/100 times the solution is "just press more buttons"
@strong forum okay thanks ill get it over soon
ptsd
wonder if we will have enough rage gen that barbaric whatever 25% revenge +50% rage cost thing will be useful
ok 1 more issue i got with is in voi in lfr sadly,how do i know if we are 2 tanks when to taunt the boss to switch tanks?
Debuffs
DBM shouts taunts usually xd
any boss mod usually blares at you to tell you as well.
if you doing LFr just go by that tbh
so i did that on raz when mod told me to taunt
and after
some1 srcasticly said,ok so we dont switch tanks at 4 stacks
1st boss swap on 6 debuff stacks
On council, swap on 1 debuff of earth guy
Dathea you don't need to swap, but if you want to, do it on 2
Diurna you don't swap
is 80 to 90% melee blocked on logs a "good enough" number? or are we actively supposed to work towards 100%
Goal is as close to 100% as possible
in council,the mod told me taunt and every boss had like arrow above it,so which 1 shouldve taunted xD?
ok
I don't know which trinkets I should use from these 🤔
Hoof + ruby/horn
I was running with Hoof and decoration of flame all the time. Thought Deco of flame is good?
It's not

anyone know the proc or rate of dmg from the Unstable Frostfire Belt
ait nome im running sim
It's the "I pretend to use a tank trinket" trinket
I’m running rumbling and hoof
Decoration is ass
400-600 dps
Thank you 🙂
bruh has random items procs dps memorized
Agmius do 55k
i think ill do like 42k maybe
55k is close to theoretical max average
unless my trinkets are rly that much worse

I wouldn’t use it
hard to perfectly utilize it in practice tho
noice
ye but if I pop b4 pull I take away 3 seconds of dps time from the other 4 players
no way it makes up for that
if I do it 10 times a run thats like 30 seconds
"takes away 3sec of dps time" lol
Hurrying between pulls to reduce "downtime" is not going to speed up your key my guy
my healer uses nightshroud to drink in combat
Idk I never tried, I don't think so
shadowmeld*
I try to cast it as the current pull dies

than we insta chain
What
Lets say there is 2 more mobs left in pack all around 10% I pop my trinket and leap on next pack
i mean if pack is far I would ofcourse not do that xD
healer shadowmeld to drink is giga brain tho ngl
fnially at 411 ilvl I do the dps 402 ilvl ppl do
tbf my gems are stamina and my weapon enchant is garbage
xdxd
but I got a total of 30 gold r
And I have been vendoring my pvp gear to repair
Wish M+ gave like some gold..
Hey guys is anyone else getting trucked in shadow moon burial grounds? I am 395 ilvl with 2 set and was getting hammered to oblivion. To the point it wasn’t even doable through shield block shield wall and ignore pain
what was hammering you specifically?
If it's the spiders it's gonna be the necrotic burst.
That 4 pack
I think its the bones
its the 3 tank buster pack i assume
before first boss?
u gotta rotate defensives and kite if you need
yea, you go in do as much damage as you can with defensives, then dip
Use Spell Block and keep Shield Block up. Then kite
spellblock is 4 noobs
It’s that 4 pack just before the first boss. Played my bdk same gear but didn’t get tricked like that
Temple of Jade "am i a joke to you?"
Nerzhul at tyra in higher keys gets undoable unless you time ur CDs
Okay I was kiting lol do you think the hpal running virtue might of contributed? Rather then just beacon
dmging CDs
i personally think its easier but maybe thats just me
no amount of extra healing
you just do damage, pop SW, it disappears, and dip
I did a 16 tjs with zero issues
Jade Serpent legit has no mechanics except 3rd boss tho
if you were still getting hit by the tank buster shots you weren't kiting, you were backing up while face tanking.
^
I fully leaped out
jump backwards or strafe away when they begin the cast.
I like to just walk away, get to the second staircase, when they halfway up just leap over them
rinse and repeat
If you got hit, you didn't. I'm not saying you're lying I'm saying you need more distance
ye need more distance
they wont cast if youre far enough away
prolly like 15 yards or so
Okay I will watch that just couldn’t believe it
I got accused of being bad but healer didn’t do over 20k hps so I just was assuming some blame on him
satchel's give 1000g. it's my source of income. run some random heroic and just pull the whole dungeon
That's what i do
@strong forum here are some of my gross logs. M eranog: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/nJMWHdrQ9cDCX7Lx#fight=6&type=damage-done&source=126 H kurog: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/npWbyzKL6mhDr94A#fight=15&type=damage-done&source=2 Low revenge casts seems to be the first obvious thing I see
If the satchel is up, time to run a heroic
90% of the time if the tank dies it's the tanks fault. We have to take a massive amount to out damage our defenses. But even if that weren't the case looking for external blame will only get you so far, you can only control you in these elements so it's best to find what you can do better in it 🙂
it's a serious life saver
yes this is correct
The buff item on my server goes for 1800 each
a good healer can also help you not die even if you make a mistake tho so it sounds like both of you messed up a bit
I usually sell em because I don't raid on the warrior
i raid but theres no chance im burning 2k gold a pull lol
esp since damage isnt the issue in the boss we are doing
I raid with my mage, and same
crap i didnt know they sold for that much
Yeah check your server
dont even need to check your server
They're consumables, which means they sell by region
Mhm
what are they called again? i'm going to look it up now
Well, regional. Like US prices arent affected by EU server prices on those
anytime I die its the healers fault
So yeah, make some money off the ultra hard core players
damn. definitely selling these
Hey guys, I see that none of the guides are using the Battle Scarred Veteran talent, even though on paper it looks insane. Any comments?
Yessir
@strong forum often during my play i just always want more opportunities to hit revenge, but feel like i rarely get them, rage isnt the issue, its all my other abilities off CD, primarily SS and TC, that prevent me from hitting it
doesnt work as intended
Its useless because it doesnt stop a fatal dmg
Like blood dk spells do
Or rogue or whatever
How is that?
maybe dumb question . but wich spell is it that can spell reflect on Teera and maruuk for big dmg exactly
There aren't many situationswhere it would proc anyway
even if it stopped fatal dmg the other choices pump too muchdps
You shouldn't be routinely dropping to 30%, so even if it functioned as intended you're losing damage or other survivability to take a talent that you'd only sometimes get use out of.
according to the spreadsheet, gale arrow
time to hunt for those satchels then. i didnt realize it's 3k not just the 1k. 3k for like 15 to 20min? not bad
you can review all reflectable things here
tank doesnt get gale arrow tho right?
I guess.. Its just IRL farming for $$$ is way faster
But region locked out of tokens .
only if someone dies
which I learned recently
XD
lol
Imagine you have 600k and 200k ignore pain, getting hit by a 420k hit will proc it because if you don't count IP you'd go to 180k (30%), even though you are perfectly fine at 380k
how come you're region locked? can you just use a vpn or something?
I pay sub in canadian dollars
And my account is registered to be in canada
But i play eu
oh
so i must switch account to eu but need eu card or smth
ye i wish i could xfer to NA
I use BSV, but more as a "oh damn, I fucked up" thing than something I can properly time since most of the time it'll proc out of random stuff
i miss raiding as retri pala in legion with auto bubble
what even are mechanics and who cares
me proc divine storm
I'm still leveling, at 69 now. I was gonna maintank soon so I havent any practical experience in M+
I'm a 2500 enha shammy main, but want to go prot
It's all gucci bro, you'll learn stuff as you go
BSV just isn't worth the damage decrease for most of us
The best way to avoid damage is to kill what's hitting you, the best mitigation is a dead enemy
azure vaults is alot of pain
I mean IP does most of the job I suppose
No, IP is not a magic button
fair
Your SS and revenge usage is abysmally low yea
Shield Block and proper defensive CD uses
IP is extra HP.
Your talents are also slightly wrong
Our HP goes away REALLY FAST if you dont have block up
You also don't seem to use your outburst charges on shield slam
You just send them at random
Whereas monks, druids (to some extent), and Demon Hunters are avoidance tanks
they're "Please don't hit me" classes
We're "Hit me harder daddy," classes
@strong forum so i had a question about that. often when i get the proc. i have TC ready to use, but no SS....so the right move is just let TC linger? until SS is off CD?
Revenge is your button to fish for shield slam resets
This is your dmg breakdown
This is mine
👀
Notice a difference?
where 
Revenge where?
right my SS isnt top dmg at all

This is eranog log btw
@strong forum So when you get outburst, but no SS, and TC is avail...you just spam revenge until SS is up and use?
Yes
okay. thank you for the help
Revenge is your filler ability
It's like ss>tc>revenge
And outburst should be used at a 4:1 ratio between SS and TC
Ideally you wanna send almost all outbursts into shield slam
It's your bread and butter for single target dps
does TC do rends initial dmg?
got it. Do you actually typically go SS,TC,then revenge? Feel like if I did that...i'm ignoring procs of TC and SS, and hitting revenge. my rotation is def not a balanced weave between them lol. I feel like I don't have many opportunities to hit revenge
No
so if i'm reading/understanding this correctly, the only time you want to press tc when outburst is up is when you can't press revenge (presumably no rage?) and ss is on cd?
Yes
Yes
SS is prio
In pretty much all cases
TC is prio over revenge still ya?
Yes
Shiney button wjth the golden ring gets priority. Push it
outside of procing for outburst
word. and not capping
Obv
happen to notice if I hit way more IP than you?
When your rage dump is off GCD its kinda impossible to cap
I severely doubt it, but I'll check
word. just wondering if im being stupid and overly panicking about rage capping
You have 0.5 more casts per minute
ah ok lol
OY my revenge casts are so sad LOL
So guys ty for nice spell prio. clarification ^^
If i may regarding my item / stat choice, atm i have stats:
Crit - 21%
Haste - 27%
Versa - 18%
Mast - 15%.
Would it be smart to craft Eng. head with full haste to reach that 30% ''cap'' + ress tinker?
P.s. in that case i am losing aprox. 2% crit from existing head item.
You're nowhere near the "cap"
Oi peeps, Im slowly finishing all 22's and kinda wonder... ( was too scared to ask but I see its about time )
Do I assume correct we shout to help heal out when group is low, but we shout before certain casts like 4th Craw AOE so group doesn't drop too low?
You need 7.2k haste before you reach the point where wanna hardstop getting haste
Gl with that 
Yes
So i wasn't off by too much then, thanks :D
You have more haste than me, but I'm not gonna go and craft the engi helmet
You want a healthy spread of stats, with focus on haste
Rn you're just gotta make do with what hand you're dealt, if you absolutely want to, sure you can craft engi helm, it's not a detriment
Also ( I know, Overall is a bad metric, depending on dungeons and pulls ) but am I generally okay with 65-70k for 22's as Tank, or would I be able to go safer? DPS in pugs do vary alot and I don't like that offensive playstyle anymore in certain dungeons...
I now have 4% verse bc I crafted wrists 
in my 13 AV i saw dps die to
65-70k in AA? Whack
65-70k in other keys? Really good
No AA and Nokhud are higher
Damn
Aight sweet!
Just wasn't sure if more is expecteded to help time
Nah those numbers are pretty much in line with jakey and mine
no prot warr cleaves below 100k here xd
So it's fairly above average if not peak
Thanks for the input Nome :)
( But I think I'll go look for a team anyway, 22's are getting toxic for whatever reason D: )
Nok + bolster = ranged death
Only people who nolife like crazy can pug spam to 26s
Someone here was told a tank was expected to do 80k on AA 16, I wouldn't say it's peak based on pugs 
Had a couple groups who ignored the shooter dudes, they ended up with a bunch of stacks and began to rofltomp people
I meeeean
It's not expected, but any respectable warrior does that or more
gift of radiance is poopo right?
Also Nome lemme log in real quick I'd have a question lemme check Stats
It's aight for ST, but nothing to write home about
Could I just recraft 4-5 to Crit Haste instead of Vers Haste and take Def Stance whenever Nome you think?
Or is that too low on Vers then
like if you pull the whole tree area one at a time... probably not getting 80k
^ hates vers
Sir I run 35% crit and 25% haste
How much Vers you on D:
Idk like 12
I kinda like vers
this aint pvp
I've never stacked vers ever
You can get away with shockingly little Vers.
Ever
Vers for the vast majority of us is not the difference maker
Do I just recraft my Haste Vers to Haste Crit then?
its like, important for maybe a handful of players in the world
Maybe keep 1-2 items?
I don't stack it on purpose. I do use the vers phial tho
Back when Thwump was pushing extreme keys he had like 8% vers in SL
and thats about it
During S3 iirc
vers phial is just really gold efficient
nothing wrong with that
Those are my stats rn
Up to you, crit is more dmg
How high do you play then and dyou still feel comfortable?
Just so I can get a grasp before ditching gold for recrafts
I pug 99 percent of my keys, it's my go to since comp varries run to run
Andy does 26/27s with 16% vers
Stats don't decide your success.
Play > stats aye
I got lots to learn then so go Crit for the DPS Fun?
Parry fun too
Absolutely, sure
Haste>Crit=Vers>Mastery generally speaking
Doesn't Fury go Haste Crit too by any chance so I could maybe start farming gear?
Or Arms, one of those
I get haste crit so I go arms easily
Haste Crit for Arms ye?
yea
Andy even only has 10% vers too
I thought arms was crit mastery
Nah
I do go haste/vers on my 1h and shield, but lariat is haste/crit and I got haste crit gems
Does parry still speed up the enemy next auto attack?
Arms is crit > haste
Here I was trying fury 
Not the enemies, yours
Players have parry haste
Great, that's 2 flies with one.... whatever you call it in english :D
Not mobs, I think
ok so,was just doing raz,and the phase 2 with 3x adds,and every add spawns little adds,if i didnt have aoe taunt thers no waay i got agro
brb ditching gold for recrafts wish me luck for procs :D
Baddies used to way back when, I wasn't sure if that was changed
Now I don't feel bad about my parry amount lol
Would dumb
Parry is a major defensive mechanic
Yeah let's punish you for that?
Kinda weird
Eh, I'm thinking of ancient days
you talking first intermission?
the one that pushes u to platform and then 3x adds
It was when the boss parried you, not when you parried the boss, that would lead to parry hated auto attacks
what do you think about talenting into barbaric training on rasza hc?
you generally have CDs on first set, Challenging Shout second
and just do damage on third
like Demo+SC does the trick for me
oh both transmisions,in first i can,but last add,that teleports and leaves like 6 adds behind,thers no way i get aggro on those
is it good or back fire again?
oh,i tought i was just being bad
its on DPS to ring/stun em when they get to the center and blow em up
Since my dodge is at a huge, massive 3 percent, I'm glad there's no downside for parry.
BT is horrendously bad in raid
its never good
thanks mates
playing some arms and feelsbadman my flavor pocket is on my 1h weapon lol
one you go flavor pocket its tough going bak
Will BT be any good if next tier set bonus gives us some extra rage?
maybe
we wait for maths
I'm seeing a lot of warcraft logs from high keys (25/26) where there has clearly been a choice made on itemization to strongly prefer crit over vers. Is crit really equal to vers? The sweaties don't treat them equally.
would have to give us a fucking load rage
in terms of defensiveness crit is our best defensive stat over a dungeon
I just look at subcreation; Haste/Vers gems seem to be most popular
ew
good chance they may also be geared for arms or fury
we dont go there
and its also recommended to go haste/vers in wowhead
well its also worse because ppl just copy the top person
then it filters down and down
Im gemin haste crit
therefore, I just say crit and vers relatively equal so people can make up their own mind
Lariat procs more crit
well there are equal if anything crit is better as 90% of ppl in here just run m+
Nah, tanks specifically. Warcraft logs captures their itemization so its not like raider.io where they can change gear/spec after the fact. It's a point in time snapshot. Definitely a tank with like 30% crit vs 10% vers
Why would they be so deliberately min/maxing crit over vers if it didn't matter? Follow up question, why are there no inverse examples of tanks minimizing crit and preferring vers in those top logs?
Cuz ilvl is king
bro, you thinking way too hard about this
your really over thinking stats
crit is more fun, tanks dont die so why not spec crit?
Some also play arms in raid
vers wont save u from dying anyway
Rings true actually
crit actually might if u parry the right thing
is mage tower easier as prot or fury
crazy how trash people can't clear thundering during the big trash pack before first boss of HoV

it really just comes down to gem enchant haste+thing, slap on highest I level, and let it ride
granted, my Eggnog ring gives me like 900 Vers XD
its where it all comes from
otherwise, just a smattering of stats of whatever gear I got
I have Vers/Haste air gems atm, for Lauriat to proc haste... but strongly considering a swap to haste/crit air
I'd say prot war is one of the easiest challenges these days
But a fury main might say that fury is one of the easiest
Also, based on stuff learned here I cleared 3rd boss on TJS yesterday +17 for the first time without needing externals. Huge progress in terms of learning the class lol

and I think the Emerald Nightmare trinket off first boss still works yea?
seed pod or whatever its called
How much faster is the 100 before 2nd boss route in azure vault? Because I despise piercing shards lol
I recommend doing the 100 before second boss route this week
cause bolstering those scream bois after second boss seems like a absolute pain
Is it easier to have arms or fury as an off spec for prot?
either is fine, but probably arms
by like a smidge
im also particular to arms
so im on diurna and im second tank designed for adds,so 1 grp of adds spawned,got agro on them,immidietly 5 sec later another 3 adds spawned,is that normal xD?
its 10 seconds
and yes
Nice I really want to give arms a go
you need to grab aggro and move
arms super fun with the changes
10/10 would recommend
oh i love azure vaults
after the first set which is only 1 pack, both sides spawn 2 sets of adds within 10 seconds of each other
Thanks!
I actually dont think Azure is that bad now
i still mess up many parts of that dungeon
just have to recognize what are the dangerous things in each pack, and some coordination also goes a long way
oh, and your WW has to not have his gear break right before the second boss with no auto hammer

try again i guess
we were over by a min on 21.... morale was depleted
the number of people who don't repair XD
like the key
I had a 14 last night that went 2 minutes over and all of the deaths were really really dumb deaths
I dont undestand how people arent always repairing
i have an addon that auto repairs when I go to a vendor
I also dont understand why repairing is still a thing
I’m OCD when it comes to repairs
I always check the group too via details
There are a ton of people who say vanilla was harder. No it was harder to enjoy, m+ shit is much more actually difficult than vanilla was, which was a frustration factor imo
can u spwan the AV adds with the 2 welps at different times? i feel like even if i attack 1 welp, the other one goes off too
You can check their repairs via details?
Get your route down- I skip first three lashers, pull 1 group with pat on second ring along with the 4 knock back dudes, pull everything else
I cant wait to do the big pull at the beginning with no bolstering

triple shard 6 lashers
Also I save my kicks for all icy bindings
Turned off auto repair so I could repair my own shit with BS
Which led to me repairing my shield mid boss fight in AV, lol
big dam

its de way
my favorite thing I've learned about these is druids can just fucking shapeshift out of them
Good to know thanks
My alt is ~1k rating Resto Druid and I learned that the other night
icy bindings is big cuck
Fuck your icy binding I'm a kitty cat rawr
not as much as those elemental guards with that knockback of theirs
fuck those guys
I have resto druid as well and have just been dispelling myself
we skip that platform
shift, dispel top dps, let god sort out the rest
I also use the roar, idr the name of it but the disorient, to interrupt that spell every 30 sec
just have to kick it
Hi I was wondering if someone could look at my AV +12 that I played earlier today
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/bTq9K31aWPntB4MG/#fight=last&type=summary&source=3
I feel like I could improve a bit more but dont know quite in what aspects, what to look for
Thanks
PS: Pls ignore the time and wipes to the last boss, we finished with 4 people since someone left in the middle of 3rd boss 😉
literally the only kick that matters in those packs
yall solo pulling rock guy to start rlp for bolstering or what
no just pull him in and do a triple / quad pull /w lust
drop barb training and get something else
focus him and stun tectonic slams / kick casters
absolutely but almost no one does in 9-14
or rather in <14
blocked hits also very low
61% is quite bad
with Heavy Repracuions and the 2second extra on SB, you should be closer to 90% at least
Only works when you don't have a brainlet group that can't figure out how stunning tectonic works 🫠
invis pot
screw that rock guy
I'm actually tilting at how people flame when I'm sweating to make sure the group doesn't get detonated only to watch a WW monk hold sweep for the next key
never do him, no matter the week
It's literally the same mob as the one in the next room
wtf do you just wait 5 minutes
pathing can be a cuck sometimes
How are you taking that long to clear up to him or are you rogue shrouding the 2nd
You can wait for the pat, 10-15 seconds is better than a minute fighting him
depends if we have a rogue
sometimes we do, in which case he distracts
when we finishing up
im pretty new to warcraftlogs, where do you see the blocked hits?
and then we go
Hover over hits number
thanks
can you do double packs first pull in tjs on +23?
but rock boi is a pain and not worth it
or is it too dangerous
You mean elemental + caster + blobs?
yes
That's done on all levels
ok
yea, thats a good place to lust on fort
some really good groups soemtimes do double eles
but for most people, prob not worth the risk
I thinki ts pretty good place to save some timer
Is anyone an expert on timewalking? namely mage tower, i'm struggling with and feel stat checked
biggest change we made to make Temp easier was to skip Tom and Jerry, the fire flinging kung fu panda duo, and making sure to stun Golden Barrier on Scarab boi
Thanks Augusto, so pay more attention to SB basically^^
And a question for the last boss AV I know I can SR the big Dragon Strike thing but sometimes it's not ready before he does it again, do his timers change or do I have to pre SR?
Spell Reflect every other usually
then rotate defensive CDs
if you have nothing, hop into D Stance and Impending or something
depending on how fast you phase, you could get doulbe use of spell reflect
before needing Wall or Last Stand
It can be delayed by the 25% crystal spawns, you won't be able to get every one, but if you pre SR like 3 seconds that is enough to get the next one. I usually pre-SR the first one so I can also get the second one and then otherwise just use SR whenever it's up and defensives if it isn't.
Does spell block just give the chance to block spells or does it block all spells for 20 seconds?
tanking 18s at 398 this week was a pain with bolstering and fortified
with shield block up you have 100% block chance, including spell block 
Thank you!
agreed, bolstering hurts
any good macros you guys can share?
the pins have two; one for easy stance dancing and the other for IP
both optional; would recommend the stance dancing one though
yes, i saw those already and some others on wow head
yea, other then that, nothing really should be macroed together
the only other one I use is a charge/intervene macro so it can be one button
gotcha, thought you guys might have some 5head macros xD
naw, we just slam
im usually fury, but i just started tanking for keys for friends
same used to be fury but swaped after 10.0.5 cause fuck the AM/OS playstyle
100% count before 2nd boss? In AV
But don’t you have to get some count around 2nd boss
You do the first 2 whelp stone packs and the whole 2nd boss room yes
Do you do the two you have to drop down on before third boss or try to pull them away so your group can skip and then get a rez?
That’s the last pull
Need it for count, wouldn’t advise doing the 5 stone pack before ring 1
AV has been kicking my ass all afternoon
Haste > Versatility > Crit = Mastery. this is on Wowhead,is this true or?
ilvl>haste>crit=verse>mastery
general question, can anyone offer any advice for handling first big pull on the pat in nok. Just attempted a 19, interrupted and stunned what could be but my group just melted even before bolstering
was everyone getting cleaved by the big guy
have any of you guys found more than 1 spark off rares/backpacks/etc
they were taking most damage from shoot and the dashing guy
swift stab
ya better to have a range bait with defensives
I haven’t found any sparks
You need to have some of all 4 stats. I find the most comfortable ratio is around 3:2:1:1 H:C:V:M
is [Shield of the Hearth ] worth making ?
I see
The big lad cleaves and the archers shoot at random targets - they can't be tanked. Your DPS should be priority killing the ranged ones. And NO on Bolstering is a huge pain in the ass for this very reason.
cant confirm but ive heard if you leap into all the packs the ranged wont jump away at the beginning
i do it, seems to work. may be luck
He probably saw people skipping the minis with meld vanish or FD
I mean if it’s a rogue just have him aggro first and vanish after you pull boss and can still skip
pay attention to your dbm/bw timers and boss hp
boss casts shard at 75 50 25%, and other casts(breath & orb) have priority over dragon strike
meaning if they come up at the same time he will cast the other spells first
in other cases, pop reflect 2 seconds before you know for sure hes about to cast dragon strike
pre casting reflect will let you to have it back for the next cast
and if you fuck it up dont panic just use cd
bottom line is to make sure you have reflect up if youre about to leap away for positioning
everything else is bonus mark
anhy good routes for AA this week for a 20?
mostly which adds to skip (without rouge)
does any1 know/remeber where is the qust that tells u to kill raz for the primal infusion rreward
rogue
alexstrasza, no?
ty ty
for 418 crafting does it make sense to prioritize weapon, shield, or something else? I am 402 on weapon and shield and 405 on lariat.
Go weap/shield
If you want more dam, go weap if a bit more def, go shield
Eventually both
simple enough. Thank you!
consensus is shield first, then weapon
unless it's a massive difference, like you have a 415 shield and sub 400 weapon
invis pots i think most people skip the first pull going left to vex the double axe pack
as a new tank what's the first thing we craft?
Do you guys use for 20+ vers or elemental phiol?
Lately I been using vers phial personally
Anyone know how much rating it takes to get to 30 or 35% haste?
Prob get yourself a nice solid shield
Ty sir
Then weapon then a lot of people enjoy lariat necklace
So is crafting a shield a good idea? I've been hunting an upgrade for my m0 shield, and was thinking of crafting as an option.
I don't raid on my warrior atm, just m+ tanking
Shield prob the best item you can craft if you haven't found a better one from drops and all
Kinda getting boosted through +20s so yeah 😄 hopefully something nice for my 300ilvl prot warrior on wednesday
anyone else had any issues with Dathea meleeing random people? 🤔
she drops threat at the end of cyclone.
complete reset
If a melee beats you back in after the mechanic, they will catch her first melee
just taunt her.
oh ouch
reflect wind burst or w/e its called.
Tell them to either wait or go in at their own risk lol
nah just taunt.
44 points to go
ah ye ok ty
I'll hold off until tomorrow, then make a decision
I just know if I craft one, I'll get a drop
wooo satchel reward for random heroic. ez money let's go queue! dont screw me and vanish the reward like last night!
i think its kinda insane that it takes less time to find a m+ group, than a random heroic group out of lfg
All static bosses work the same way; if the tank isn't in melee they will hit whoever is, and if nobody is in melee they will spam a special that will wipe the group in a few casts. Been that way since Ragnaros AFAIK
well Dathea has a ranged attack though
which is why i asked
and he does melee on other people even when tanks are in melee
How do people usually do Diurna with DPS wise? how is the split add/boss wise
does anyone struggle with liu flameheart? Just done a +18 and I was getting absolutely smashed up. Didnt get hit by any damage apart from that serpent debuff she gives, is it literally a healer problem if i'm dying? using spell reflection and my defensive cd's but I just get chewed up
what would generally be the ideal trinket combo for m+ and raiding?
icon / whetstone in raid, all totem / whetstone in m+
can use grieftorch also if you want. Super solid.
hm okok
i mean no not a healer problem
u can IV every other one
u can LS the absorb shield away
u can hp pot
yogi turning that mindset into a grindset
HoV legit so fkn beefy
alot better after this weeks nerfs at least
i recently discovered court of stars is pretty approachable
CoS post nerf is soo good
I'D say CoS is one of the easier keys yeah :D
Its SBG tier atm
imo
Lil tricky with fortified
For melee dps
Failed to time CoS 21 today with 1 min
Cuz we had 1 wipe to trash pack b4 1st boss
What about the whetstone
failed 22 AA on my dk today with 2 and a half min sadge
8 deaths and no time 😦
ugh not timing AA must hurt more
Difficult dung lol
hate it
I hate Azure Vault the most
Followed by RBL
I don't think it's too bad, but it hurt cause I was not playing well, if I played better it would've been timed
dps problem
long as my gold and potions hold out tonight, ill keep making progression for 2k
dang
ended up with like 96k dps overall on my 414 UH dk, should've been way higher but stupid deaths
ill see if my details still has it but ye
Whetstone in AoE is better than grief, so definitely great for m+
+21 RLP is always the same deaths to 2nd Boss, DPS dont know how to bait properly
60k overall is plenty for cos as tank.
Whetstone is really good in AoE?
only 1 big pull entire time.
Its like second best trinket
^
Still does tons of damage
i got so much gear this week (this is just extra, but some of it is m+ i scored this week
this is my so far on the warr though, starting to get used to tanking but still alot I can improve on. Still always playing defensive stance as well
No shame on D-Stance
I think the main thing I can improve on is using my defensives better and more
I tunnel dps and dump all my rage into revenge heheh
Sometimes u gotta sit at it even if u do all mechanics right
Cuz healer is wak
Or NPCs are hitting u 60k physicals tru block
T^T
currently sitting on ruby whelp shell (5/6 trained), alltotem 395 and decoration 389, what trinket combo would yall use of those?
And use grief + alltotem or grief + something else in raid
for m+ mostly
However, mainly jealous you have a grieftorch 😛
i personaly hate flame of decoration. i would play ruby whelp and alltotem
Yeah it’s not the best, but assuming you dont run double on use
All I get is puzzle box 421 T^T
Atleast figured out how to use it properly now
So I dont get stompt as I cast it
i would go dec and all totem
Hey boys
my parents in turkey are paying $15 a month for their 150 Mbps upload/dload wifi
no limits
What's our MAX DAMAGE prot buidl right now? I wanna be pulling 60k overall in every dungeon minimum
where are you living
no just me as a one man army
Holy shit
just me 60k every dungeon or higher
i pay 30€ in Austria for 150 mbp/s
how much boss HP should Broodkeeper usually be on after last eggs are destroyed? 🤔
$35 for phone plan with 0 data but unlimited call/text
plan pulls and press buttons gud
ideally 30-35%
but you can get away with 40-50 as well but anything above 50 is a total nono
The american way of life hit diff
50 is also a total nono but it's doable
hmm ye ok
I wanna do it in EVERY dungeon
so which build will get me max dps
so i can pull 60k
at least
Full damage m+ build with no utility or passive healing sounds troll and bad, but idk get rid of silly things like indom
yeah maybe YOU cant
Lmfao
but if i dream it hard enough then i can
sometimes its not IF you believe it, its HOW HARD You believe it
ok what build do i use
Ye
Yeah lotta people run it
RLY?
Try weave in battle stance more, it really helps
i never use d stance ever
Just use this should be ok
y its not as good as it sounds
ok i rmeoved thudnerlord
for BATTER RAM >:]
yeah but the troll wants me to remove it
U do need indom
because he is hungry and needs more sheep under the bridge
Indom allows u to stay in bstance
Which is more dmg
without indom u might dstance much more
What is the best training for the whelp trinket? AOE or Haste?
Cuz the swirly thing is 5-8% of ur overall dmg done in M+
It's an unreliable buff too
Add 20% to that it's like 1-1.75% extra dmg
What about heavy repurcussion vs INTO THE FRAY
ez
It reduces CD on ur Shield Block by 2 seconds
gigachad fuck everyone pull big build
Which makes up for lost defensiveness
is this not the build I want to be running in m+ btw?
yeah
NICE
who needs a stun
I kinda like that
lmfao
u can als oget rid of aoe fear
and take the talent that procs a weapon throw when u do basic attacks
which talent
to the right below of the attack speed 5% thing
see my build, I got rid of unnecessay healing and stuns
gotta run wrecking throw to do yuge damage to mobs with shields
What does that mean
smh nobody looked at my pro build
this is a DPS increase
defo get that
this is what i run
Bro this has to be a huge dps increase
You almost never use that extra 1 sec, it always resets
and I sim 43k ST
noob shit, big damage prot doesnt run indom, put it in the other rage gen 😛
@astral atlas could you send a ss of what talents you usually run in m+? :D
he onyl does 35k ov erall
If I want to take Sonic Boom, what talent should I drop for it?
imagine if warrior was also doing 60k instead of 39
wtf is indom
what tf is this screenshot 
of indomitable
Yeah big dmg prot probably cant chain pull like me
20% of my self heal is indom
but healing is trash, only damage
No because your healer also does dps
nobody needs to heal duh
18% my heal was indom
but you want damage
Add 10% of ur pain and gain
not healing
10% of your inpending victory
Ok whath appened to the shockwave build
Nobody ever considers this haha
Shockwave Build would work but the bleed dmg from TR 15% is broken
I think I legit need this
just drop shockwave
maybe i will
go for it
I think that talent increases the dmg done of TR by 33%
