Shockwave lets you giga pull though.
Pull, Stun, leap, SW, Stun, leap
TR is 11% of my dmg done is CoS 21
^
Gigapulling is max damage
In 540 seconds u cast TR 6 times with 90 sec CD and 9 times with 60 sec CD
50% dmg incr
GL doing 60k in ST
thats 3 more TRs in a span of 9 minutes
so yeah 50%
thx danooh
Damn
so 33% of 12% thats 4% of my dps is that talent
thank you
ticon pulling the first 120k overall on sbg soon
Sorry I don't mean to ruin you +13 dreams
Any1 got a decent dmg breakdown of 22+ key?
I feel like I am missing out on something … not happy with my dmg
post log
Nah :/ will log next run
anything in particular that you felt was bad?
You’re probably using revenge too little and wasting too much rage dumping IP without logs it hard to comment
My 4p uptime … dumping too much rage into IP and using too less revenge - but only feelywise
Ye thats my feeling haha
you need more damage?
75-80 is max for me atm. Will defo post a log
Vanugards detmerination? mine was 41%
at the bottom see
Ye I made a WA myself too. Its so annoying and hopping but still no 80+ uptime 😄
If your not falling into the trap of trying to keep max IP uptime you’re probably doing fine and your dps being low might be that your not having bigger / clean pulls… it’s something else to consider
revenge more, gets you 4% more damage
revenge more
ok
Your not revenging enough my man!
this is the way
I believe in you
Ur overall dmg is very dependent on group btw
aa14
and wheter if its tyra week or fortified
Also on big pulls it’s worth remembering you should alternate TC and revenge if you’ve talented into that talent (can’t think of it’s name)
If all your dps does 80k in single target fights
392 ilvl
You will pull off 65-70k dps ez
if ur dps do 50k dps u will dramatically drop
Because the diff between our cleave and ST is vast
My overall is lower that it is supposed to coz dps always fishing for my spell reflects!
needs to be pretty big pulls, I think even on less than 8 targets you shield slam first prio, no?
like only becomes worth once you cross like 8 targets
i basically dont click shield slam on big pulls lol
Only if i am out of rage and TCis on cd
ah
I’m assuming your using the priority correctly yes you should be SSing
I meant you don’t spam revenge
Wowhead lists the rotation priority as Shield Slam > Thunder Clap, but I heard Thunder Clap does more damage than Shield Slam against 5 or more targets, is that true?
Think you still want to SS for rage regardless
Anger management and shiz
tried 14 cos, it didnt go anywhere lol
More rage = more CDs = more DMG
i dislike cos greatly.
i made the error
I dont think this applies to the duration your ravager is up
We do only fish for procs (that big SS/TC dmg incr) on ST, dont we?
I forgot that talent name
unless ur IP spammin hard
i accidently over pulled
buddy i need a shield to mog with this banger legion mage tower set
help me out
Shield Slam does a fixed amount of damage in any target count, while Thunder Clap scales with target count. Surely there would then be a number of enemies where Thunder Clap is simply better?
with unstoppable force, during avatar tclap does more damage as soon as 2 targets. but you should still be hitting SS for the rage
5+ during avatar
7+ outside avatar
You can't ignore rage generation
It's not just raw dmg output
Is that 5 or more or just more than 5?
5 or more
yeah, damage wise TCLap is better very fast, but tclap doesnt reset, SS does
and gets you a ton of rage
Uuuh you horde?
rage lets you do many other things
alliance
including beeg damage
For alliance I don't think a good shield exists
fug
I have bad latency
as arms im mogging artifact so it works perfect
Only thing that should change with ping is your spell queue window
So idk if I utilize my haste good enough
Not your stats
whats the horde shield?
just spam shield slam while your GCD is rolling
i might be swapping back to raid mythic with some friends, idk yet tho
bfa s2 shield? aight
S3
That's.
#protection message @deft mortar
So I can sim for 450 more dmg
my latency isnt great so I can't react SS fast, spamming SS while my GCD is rolling catches a lot of resets instantly
I didnt realize warcraft log has parse percents for dungeons
pleasantly surprised all my dungeons have a 94+ 🙂
ah, I thought the best% column was for your best run
Parse% is just how much higher your keylevel was
and even the damage is always sus because such a small % of people log keys
logs will show you the entire dungeon time, not just combat time like details
That's still not dmg done per keylevel
Guess I should actually start logging m+ if I want these numbers to not looks so sad
Those parses are still just parse%
Those are mine righ
But it doesn't show the full picture still
individual runs show key% @strong forum
The overall page counts current ranking at all times
It doesn't lock in anything
Steve has r1s cuz he is r1
It means at least a single key% had a 100 at some point so my frontpage shows 100
If it was in a 5, and i rolled that 5, and all my others are shit, frontpage shows 100
Yeah and I've had 100 34/36 keys
But now none of mine show up
Doesn't work like that
nome you're doing 34s and 36s???
ohhhh
Liek look
54k dps in a +4 as tank
Is only a grew parse
Cuz the key itself
Is greyparse
Cuz i sorted my frontpage by key% not overall yep
But on the actual leader board of +4 azure vaults I'm R1
Ye now you gotta click the 3 weapons on top
Then you see key% logs
What set pieces we want to play pref ?
All of them
It means nom has at least a single key% at 100 at some point so his frontpage shows 100
i mean stat wise
All 5 of them
it is my understanding that there might be a new set piece come the next raid
Literally
shoulders and pants give haste vers
Wonder if we could combine them over use 4 set of one
All but chest iirc, unless chest is also highest ilvl
I don't see a world where you'd skip out on 1 of the pieces, you want a mix of all stats
Even hands with crit mastery ?
Helmet and gloves gives you mastery = good
triple swords gives me this,
Gloves and chest give you crit = good
Those of you doing AV route where you get 100% before jumping down do you do the whelp/fury group with the tree is or is that too big?
As Steve said, if you had R1 dmg log in 1 key, it'll show you that on front-page
Irrespective of key level
pug only/no group, and less time since getting 2500
Sure, but if you did a +5 and have the R1 dmg log there, it'll show on front-page as 100
Even if you did a +20 where you grey parsed
You can check your individual dmg runs
And see where you got 100 on which keylevel
Front-page is yes
Ye
Yes
Lariat was nerfed, is it still one of the better embelishments?
Yep
Embellishments are lame tbh
Wasn't aware. How does this effect us, if at all?
The boring stat ones are for sure
It didn't affect anybody
man I love parrying / blocking boss mechanics
Fker does big move PARRY
lmao
and anything that isnt it
which do we generally prefer for m+: bonemaws or hunger?
damn, these key%s really showing me that I'm doing pretty poorly in m+ compared to raid. Gonna start logging and seeing where I'm scuffing
I'd prefer hunger
group spell reflect would be dope
o o f
bruh my buddy that plays pally is so salty about SR
She always says it needs to be nerfed. 🤣
Dungeon is hot garbage. They need to cut the bird packs that spawn and reduce the timer or something. That bug makes me rage.
this fookin' guy
whats the bug with the birds? never actually had an issue in there other than the whole thing with the wind goal not being usable if you wipe
oh 😦
In my run the second big bird didn't spawn in the last pack.
oh so like not all the birds are coming down correctly
We rezoned and it never spawned
Hunter even used track beast. No birds anywhere. Shit was whack.
technically you can pull them onto the platform whenever you want if you have someone that can get out far enough
oh
wild
rofl
I look forward to the daily "adjustments" to season 2 dungeons.
Like Halls and Bracken.
I encountered a wild build in lfg 😅
shhiiiiiiiiit
the route for cos never changes right
besides stairs vs docks at start
what happened this time is pulled enforcer with mini boss
ezpz
You may pull things you might not otherwise if there's a buff you can grab in 2nd area
Like if the 10% crit is there you would grab that 2 pack
That is certainly a build.
brb
@mortal brook ❤️
I tried to give him some advice but it seems he doesn't speak english that much
It happens. At least you tried

Shield charge is such a satisfying button to press, I can't imagine not having it tbh
is glacial fury more damage in m+ than vers phial?
Behold my creation. I call it 'St Raid build'
wait its not perfect
it better at this point to just wait till tuesday and get some 12/13's?
fixed it
i cant sem to do AV, find cos tough
Why would you do such a thing
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLZ
ima do lfr with this build

Im gonna work on the best aoe build next
Does it matter what we're wedging into Lariat?
Does Immovable Object good talent for this week ? Or the other one is better anyway
I never took it
Nope
I assume stat, then haste/crit gems
I prefer haste>crit gems because I'd rather have more static haste but any combination of haste/vers or haste/crit is just fine
Yeah you want a primalist in there somewhere
Though it doesn't need to be on lariat ofc
No, you should use Unstoppable Force most of the time
Should I avoid putting it in Lariat? I'd figure a crafted item that'll be recrafted at higher and higher would be ideal.
That way you're not replacing it as much.
There's some arguments to be made for certain dungeons due to boss mechanics but generally not required.
You can put it in lariat; that's where mine is. It makes sense to put it there since you won't replace it
Is there a is mounted/dragon riding modifier I can put into macro? I'm trying to get rid of action bar 1
kinda sad immovable object isnt taken, seemed really fun
maybe not 'fun' but I liked the idea of it
You can just use the [flying] conditional for the dragonriding spell.
e.g.
/cast [mounted]Surge Forward;Shield Slam or whatever
er
not flying
mounted
does the last boss RLP keep doing Fire after Kyrakka is dead? 🤔
no, but if someone stands on an existing fire puddle they will get the debuff and drop a new one
damnit we wiped
ohhh thats why
so people misplaying 😄
I swear ever route I take for COS ends up hell. I pull a smooth route too slow and I’ve percent, I try to skip literally any group in the first half and the DPS ass pulls and yells at me
my CoS route is less of what packs to pull and more of a path I walk and figure out the % later
cause everything usually gets pulled
Pull all of this and you have no concerns of buttpulling except maybe the 3 mobs inside the building near the 2nd beacon
I do that and the fucking DPS are dying to frontal in every big pull
And maybe the sentry before the bridge but that's a non-issue anyway
Also how does that not go way over on %
I mean you don't have to do big pulls. Just pull those mobs. I just selected shit to show which things to pull
With the construct after first boss that's 60.5%
Then only enforcers?
You pull the first pack outside, the 2 pack next to it, both packs of imps
Other than that it's wherever enforcers/items happen to be
Hmm ok any tips on controlling the front pulls? I feel like I have to move every 2 seconds to dodge a frontal then the DPS start dying to them
So you're at 60.5, the "always" packs that I just mentioned are another 15.8%, putting you at 76.3 and then the last mob is 6.3 putting you at 82.6. The rest is enforcers which are 5.3 each
Even doing 3 enforcers puts you at 98.5 and you generally don't have to do 3 of them so you have room for item packs
The group I just ran with ass pulled 5 times died 22 times to frontal and then flamed me at the end
I have a marker on my head even and the melee still dance around me
Shit's hilarious
There's only 3 frontals in the entire dungeon. The only one that can be kinda dicey as a melee is the quelling strikes because you generally do harbor pull which has a lot of them. If they're still getting hit then fuck them
Default UI should bring up a separate health bar for a focus target right?
Mine doesnt and I can't figure out what's suppressing it.
I try and aim at wall but once you have 2 on you dodge the first can’t control the second
For quelling strikes you want to go kind of in a circle with your melee in the middle
My top notch image
small circles = melee, star = tank, lines = quelling strikes
Remember you can always move back where older quelling strikes were too
Pad fun right
They wiped on imps, because I spell reflects and they charged in right before the cast went off. And neither DH stunned the group
If they were out of range before the cast started, it doesn't matter if they go in before the cast goes off
So they were already out of position if they got hit
They should either 1 know that or 2 int the cast themselfs
Honestly I don't even bother to try to SR it. It's not needed and just causes issues in pugs
Fair
yogi mspaint
shadow slash. from the succubus-type demons in the 2nd boss area.
I really wish littlewigs had an entry for them in the custom options so I could add an audio alert
Got the spell reflect WA?
I dont use that one, doesn't seem to track dungeons for me
had it for a bit but didn't like it. too much clutter
just gonna make my own for a few targeted things. just haven't gotten around ot it
Original WA: https://wago.io/IkerOKywU Tells you when to reflect in Dragonflight dungeons and raids. Triggers only when
This one
Is the game changer for me
are you running english client
cuz plater mod is weird with localization issue
forever stuck in cos
how do i not die from adds on tree
Need a dispel
rsham cant
My pally friend forgot cleanse when we went once 🙂
Yeah you need some combination of chained aoe cc, a dispel, good burst dps, or kiting
TBH sounds like an oof before the key began.
Ideally not the last one but you do what you gotta do
there's your problem right there
most of us are swapping back to alli when cross faction happens lol
just don't run AA without a poison cleanse
Pretty much
yeah i kinda forgot about it honestly
I mean if you absolutely insist on not having a poison cleanse, and you're doing not-too-high fort, you can pick up bitter immunity for a single self-dispel
not insisting on it just forgot lol
I made another build I call, "m+"
we picked up a druid
yeah for sure. wasn't trying to say you were, just like, if you happened to be then...
yeh i gotcha
Sometimes I miss intervene
sometimes I do, then I remember the times I accidentally intervened the other tank and died on jailer
Too good, has shield charge. You can do better.
but shield charge doesnt grant shield block or revenge, only gives you auto attack dmg and does more crit strike dmg
plus I wouldnt want to get extra shieldblock, rage, last stand, block chance or more demo shouts
I suppose I can drop one talent and take the challenging shout
And then drop shield charge and take the other ravager talent
kinda feel like leveling a prot warrior without taking a single talent kinda like the dude who levels a panda through herbing and mining, or the guy who levels without killing anything
This is my priest
when I'm looking at melee hits taken and which of those were taken with shield block active, where exactly do I look on warcraftlogs?
am i looking at casts divided by hits or the tooltip that says "blocked/hit"?
source aura filters, click the shield block button
green is with it up, red without it up
should be just above your screenshot
Hover over the number in the hits colum next to melee and it'll tell your true % that were blocked.
but also wont account for like, hits you took to the back right
cuz you can have the buff up and then eat a silly hit
Oh I missed the thing where you wanted ones with block active
Reading is hard folks.
so basically I took 71 hits without shield block?
ye
but only because I mitigated 19 of the total 90 casts?
If you hover over the hits column with the aura filter it should tell you how many you blocked vs not blocked.
With it active
The hits number is times you were meleed where it actually connected (meaning not missed/dodged/parried).
I'm specifically looking for how often I let shield block off and how much damage I took during those times
The number of hits doesn't really matter I guess, I'm more so trying to figure out when and why I let it fall off and how disastrous it was for my health
Your best bet is probably to go to resources and zoom in on areas where you dropped to uncomfortable levels and see why you dropped that low. Because you can still block without shield block up so not having it up doesn't mean you didn't block
we did it 😬
If you go to the events tab in resources, it'll show your health % along with damaging/healing events
And you can check and see if you missed blocks during those times
I know, I feel like I'm just letting it drop too often, and also not using Ignore Pain as much as I should be. Warrior is much more mechanically intensive than Paladin which is what I've mained basically since I started playing
Maybe I should just give up and go Brew 
If you think warrior is mechanically intensive then I'm not sure brew is the right way to go. Brew is harder than warrior
Oh shit is it really? Lmfao nevermind
Yeah, Warrior is generally among the easiest tank specs atm
You just need to press a decent amount of buttons
If it would be helpful, you can send me a link to your log and I can go through it for you
SL warrior bursts through the door did anyone said 'mechanically intensive'
415 Decoration of Flame or 405 Blazebinders hoof for pure DPS as prot?
I would sim it
is honed reflexes big dam?
yeah
It's probably like net zero damage because you basically never have SS last the entire CD
imagine thinking I could finally time a 22
I do not know what causes this bug but I have never ever seen it. There's gotta be something triggering it.
its random as far as i can tell
Do you tend to trigger the birds before everyone is across the bridge?
im half convinced its rogues being in stealth
but i dont run with enough rogues to know
The only time it happened to me was when I killed the birds on the grass and not on the platform
It was also spiteful week
I main rogue and I've never seen the bug and I stealth before all the waves
Went in again and killed on platform and it was fine - still had spiteful
okay ghash gets a pass
the bug happens on the last pack
supposed to be 2 big birds coming down but only one came
and its always that last one from what ive seen
and you kill the birds on the platform?
yea
Hm
We've had it happend to our 5tank back to back in 2 runs
And I doubt mandl was in catform and stealth
dude at this point im convinced AA just fucking hates me
we were like 4 minutes ahead of my personal best timer
My suspicion was spiteful fucking up it
idk but they need to fix that shit
and then this shit :)))))))))))))
heck
can confirm my group has never gotten it
Rogues count as tanks ofc
for this week AA, if we skip the first bridge pat on way to Vex, do we do the the middle pat in dragon area? or do we always skip middle pat?
i have a route adding up to 100.67, wondering if theres anything better
yeah, Brew is pretty nutty in terms of importance of button presses atm and is both decently high APM and probably has the largest keybind requirement of just about any spec in the game atm
Recommendation if you want something less mechanically intensive than warr is probably bear, but depends on the content you're doing
tbh BDK kind of less mechanically intensive as well
Has some prio system optimization but the basic gameplay loop is largely on GCD and a vibe with the amount of resources they currently generate
We do everything but this pack before dragon area and then we do the the 2+3 pull at the beginning of dragon area and then the 4 in front of the door and that gives us exact count:
you have to know what you are doing as tank too or things dont work out
like how today went for me
it can be really tough positioning everything so its not cleaving your team
If you don't want to do that first pack on the way to Vex, you can do the 4 pack in my picture and skip that and be 1 force over
Yes but it was something a lot of them bypassed before this patch because you had to give up damage or utility for it.
im pretty sure if it were, that it would be in the rogue main tree near the top
I mean, outlaw has no burst so it's not as if our tricks is going to prevent the enh shaman from pulling off of you
And just wanna turtle damage
Some rogue sprinted ahead and pulled mini before 2nd boss in COS and died right away
And didn't kidney or blind a single eye of the storm
Bizarre
Literally looking at details and zero CS or KS entire key
i have never felt so useless while doing 60k dps. what on earth is enhance
the big V pack dragon boss #1 in nokhud, always pull first and always lust?
like this week, might make one more hail mary attempt at io
I dont always lust it personally, on higher keys it might be necessary
I always do it first and lust
I think it's a good idea to lust it on higher fort because the charges are pretty nasty
Pretty standard thing to do yes
You get Lust on CD early, fight a dangerous pack, and you won't need Lust on boss cuz it's literally irrelevant
From a suggestion from another member here: lust = pack always dies. Can confirm this works 
How do you guys setup the first pull in halls when you get all 3 packs ? No matter what I do some dps just rips aggro early on
Tell dps to wait a sec

Are you talking a rotation of spells to use? I always tell group to wait til I have them grouped up
Last two times I asked if the group wanted to do this, healer tells me: “this isn’t MDI let’s calm down” 😂
Probably should’ve left group at that point..
Idk, pugs fuck that pull up a lot tbh lol
tried av 13, no idea how the hell it happened but fighting first ring trash BAM all the hall way spawns in on top of us.....
for the ruby whelp trinket what attunement is rec?
warlock "we gotta clear it now"..... nope..... leave....
I mean, that sounds like a big pull for bolstering week, that dragon's gonna melt some faces.
Yeah- healer has to be the one to agree to this or else i won’t do it
not a chance
Single target/haste
ty
Drake is fine I just wondered how people sequenced the pull
Shield charge + revenge 1st pack, leap then charge + thunderclap 2nd pack, charge + revenge x2 dragon pack, back pedal with shield wall, drop ravager then shockwave when one of casters starts casting
seems fine 
we were fine for about 10 seconds afterwords
blizzard you want to know why people aren't doing the content you have created THIS IS WHY
Thanks I will try this
Don’t forget demo shout and thunderclap on cooldown. Never really had an issue, unless it just one mob then just taunt of course
Literally every shaman shocks the last pack before I’m here
Then I don’t know what to do they spread to shit
Are they from ragnaros? Jk
I just tell dps to wait before we start
If it’s just one pack I’d just charge one of them and thunderclap/revenge and then charge back
I usually do that when a pack is further away and I don’t have aggro, from a butt pull or something
OK to use outburst on TC in Avatar?
with UF?
been sending on SS like in SL
but not sure if its diff now
with high target count using outburst on TC is fine. in avatar, using it on TC is fine even on medium target count. not sure the exact number, but probably something like 7-8 out of avatar and 4-5 in avatar.
ooo, got Whetstone!
can use outburst on TC on 5+ targets
cheers
What's the icd of tough as nails? I assume there is one. 
it's 1 sec I believe
Can someone help me understand when its time to run Into the Fray vs Heavy Repercussions?
in a raid
You can run ItF whenever you want in raid unless you're tanking the boss the entire time.
Is there an increased risk of dropping shield block? I'm still relatively new to tanking
I dont understand why anyone would ever run Heavy Repercussions then
In this instance im talking Mythic Kurog
You run Heavy Repercussions when you are tanking something constantly because you can't have 100% uptime on Shield Block without Heavy Repercussions until very high haste levels (35+% before ItF). In most raid encounters, there are tank swaps that make it so you have a chance to recover Shield Block charges when you aren't being actively hit. That being said, it's possible that HR might still be a damage increase (especially on single target) in those scenarios because higher uptime on Shield Block means more uptime on 30% damage increase to Shield Slam. I don't know enough about the raid to know what the fights look like to make that call, however.
If you’re brood tank and cant get 100% shield block uptime with itf, then HR is very helpful
Ok that makes sense. I'm in the habbit of just always having shield block up whether im tanking or not. Like I said, still relatively new to tanking. So there is some increased risk of dropping shieldblock with ItF assuming I have that habbit.
I personally keep mine on prot until I have max shield and weapon
I mean I think with bolster and itf you can get 100% uptime but then you need to use last stand for the shield block uptime. So depends on how useful it is to have 30% emergency heal. With enough haste your shield block charges come back fast enough to keep fullish uptime I think
Two biggest upgrades
Adding on to this, you're also losing damage somewhere to be able to take bolster, so that's a consideration too.
oh tru 421 siungle hand weap, dont wanna roll 2h wiht dps
Yeah tough as nails or whatever the talent to the side of bolster is called is like 1k dps on my sims
And thats usually what gets dropped for bolster iirc
Can be wrong on that tho
yeah
Im just trying play as safe as possible while my comfort levels increase but I dont want to pick pointless talents either. Im getting whalloped in P2 Mythic Kurog and thats the biggest difference I see in my talents compared to the masses
You could also be a gigachad and drop indom to take bolster alongside tough as nails (but you will lose on a lot of passive sustain)
HR is fine to use anywhere and is the go-to talent in M+ anyway so less adjustment between the two types of content.
Thought hr was go to
I’m dumb
That's what I said 👀
Cant read
haha
:p
Literally blind
I still love you
❤️
If you guys were to drop a talent for Battle scarred Veteran, what would you choose? I know the talent is frowned upon but it seems useful while learning encounters.
Dunno what you normally run, but I would drop second shield charge sub talent. The one most bottom left
But bsv is really buggy
And can proc at like 70% hp
I wouldn't tbh. Just to put it bluntly. It doesn't work properly.
So it wont actually save you when you need it
fair enough
It's not a cheat death either, even though people call it that.
You can in fact, still die 
I've never run it, because nothing out there has put me to the point where it seems useful.
i have never hated cos more than i do now
i cant stand that place with a million frontals and everyone dies to nothing
There's a dungeon tools addon that makes noises every time there's a frontal to dodge. It's pretty much mandatory for me in CoS because the colours arent varied enough.
The only frontal to dodge is Quelling Strike right?
shockwave for 1
There's only 3 frontal in the entire dungeon
some kindofcleave dunnowho
I mean shockwave is so obvious and doens't really kill you unless you're pulling shit with it
They're pretty constant though. who cares how many different kinds there are.
Charges Smash also super obvious and you can just move out
yogo do you have littlewigs? if so, go in to the dungeon settings -> trash and set a custom sound for those 3 abilities
i use the bike horn personally
put a sound on every frontal in every dungeon that you want to dodge (i.e. hew in HoV etc.)
^ super helpful you'll never have an issue again
and then learn to be aware of when you're in a pull with a mob with frontals, and point them at a wall
one thing is at the big bridge on boss 1 id get that and 2 to right of it for lamp
and that trash always killed someoneevery key i ran today
are you turning the mobs?
like if you pick a direction and face them, people will adjust
but if you're just flustered and turning everywhere, the melee will have a hard time playing around you
Does anyone have experience with Titanic Throw? Does it pull undesired mobs?
also don't get to the pack on the right after bridge by 1st boss imo. there's way better places to get count
generally no. I can count on 1 hand the # of times I've pulled a mob by accident, and I've had it all of DF and have run 100 keys probably
Yea like turn left after the first bridge and do all the packs there in 1 pull. easy %
Right now I am running Deco/all totem but not sure if I should switch it up
docks with lust is very common. I also like the mana worms with the mechanical horse (can't remember name rn) after 1st bridge, and then guardian + mana worms with same mechanical after 1st boss
I like the idea of doing more with the guardian but what are you skipping later?
everything that I can in 2nd boss area
I never never never pull the mechanical 3 pack
either on the bridge or that pats by 2nd boss. you can just run behind 2nd boss if you need to get around between sides
Yea Im not doing the bridge pat or the boss pat either
yeah then just minimum required stuff in 2nd boss area
only what gets you a clickable
and then if I need something to get to 94 count I grab it
It can get tight tho
With the pats, etc.. have had so many groups butt pull
If you're skipping a lot
the patting 2 pack succubus always gets got, because 2 of the summon miniboss clickables are over there
and then imps always get got
Yea I guess i'd rather not think about the clickables, clear al of that except the bridge pat and boss pat. You can also easily kill the guardian after the first boss while running the whole time.
also never clear the house by 2nd beacon (before 1st boss)
You go left around?
With the mana sabers?
Yeah GL.. thats like 80% chance to get pulled by group heh
I put a skull ground marker
I just started pulling cause I'd rather pull it when ready to stagger the jump then have someone pull it at a bad time lol
those sabres are brutal
Yeah that's why I'd rather pull to desync the leap
I would always skip them in any scenario I could
I'm telling you it's super easy to skip
the pack by the beacon you pull back to where the mechanical is
then you just walk
yea fair, even if it is though you have to stand and kill the guardion after the first boss with extra mobs when you could just be killing it on the move. It's not really a gain.
you pull an extra 15% count in to it to make it efficient
and you still barely need to stop
it's free
Then you gotta make sure you got someone alternating kicks lol
Otherwise charging station goes off
there's only 1 kick?
You can't get all charging station solo
I think you're confusing what I'm pulling in to it
Ahh
There's nothing wrong with anything you're saying, people just dont like change haha.
you need 3 kicks on mechanical. 2 if you have a shammy/udk
but there's 2 other pulls with mechanicals. if you can't kick them you're already in trouble
He said Guardian..which is the dude with the charging station
yeah that's what I meant. I just forgot the name of the guardian
I never see boomies. They make kicks trivial with that solar beam shit.
I'm talking about doing this
you can also just do skip if you're not killing that at all
Thats the guardian I'm talking about lol
but if you're going to kill it, at least make it not shit
we like to pull the top half of that into the boss and skip the guardian. Its not bad at all
Pap explains why he does it, it makes sense in his route. It's just odd.
maybe in 24 you can't do it. I've done it up to 21 easily
Yeah I'd much rather pull that pack into boss
I don't see what would make it harder in a higher key, since the mobs are free
% is so free in CoS idk why we're even discussing it
I'd rather do mana worms than a 2 pack by 2nd boss that's all
most of the time you can chain the 2 pack into an enforcer or the mini boss when they are low.. if efficiency is what you are aiming at
this is the way I generally do everything up to/immediately after 1st boss. some stuff gets chained (like the patting sentry in the 1st pack)
I chain 2 packs in to enforcers also whenever it's convenient
Why do you pull the pack on the left of the stairs going to 2nd boss? Easy to go over count doing that
this is what we were just talking about. because it's free. I never go over count. dunno
Its such an easy pack, good % and lets you skip some stuff.
once I get to 2nd boss area, I just do minimum packs to get the buffs, and then whatever else is required to get to 94
Yes, that's a very good lust pack. Gets lust on CD, don't need lust for 1st boss
also for TJS, I think lust 2nd boss > lust 1st boss, but if you lust 1st you prob won't have it for 2nd, so lusting trash before 1st boss (even on tyran) is a good play
I usually just pull the left 2 packs of 1 down the stairs and lust there. They're just far away.
Yeah, I think we usually do 1st pull, 2nd boss, 3rd boss at 70%
yeah I think that's the play in all weeks
i dont think the 3rd boss is worth it at all.. pack before last boss on fort imo
even on fort, I think I'd rather lust 3rd boss p2 than last trash pull
I mean it's your call. I'd prefer lusting 3rd boss
true. we have so many buttons for jade serpent kick. quad tank busters every 12 seconds now as much haha
idk dark claw is fully avoidable with stops and a bit of kiting, not to mention spell reflect
The pack before the las boss in TJS you're usually kiting anyway. Once you get that down its not so bad. Listing on a kited pull is pretty hard to keep aggro.
with spell block/walls up you can outlive lust
last pack TJS is super punishing if you don't counterplay correctly, but once you do it gets much more manageable. it's not really a numbers thing
whereas 3rd boss TJS is a pure "can I phase this boss before I run out of buttons to press"
Is deco and all totems best for m+ here?
Poeple are just going to tell you to sim it every time man
But probably yea
Ruby is aids in M+
depends if dps have icon
Sim had icon and ruby but wasn’t sure to trust it for tanks. I’m not a prot main
if dps have icon dec/icon if not dec/all totem
Ty
You probably simed single target if ruby came out top. Only use it for raid over all totem.
Make sure you're setting icon properly; there's a drop down for it. It's just a vers stat stick if no one else has it.
do i need spell block to do +19/+20 TJS on tyrannical?
its gonna make youre life easier
do you need it? no.
is it useful? yes.
haha alright!
I love spell block and highly recommend it
maybe dont take it in HOV
other than that pretty much everywhere else
oh also cos
I wouldn't say everywhere, but definitely tjs, definitely rlp. I like it in nokhud for fortified because the lightning area can be brutal. that's about it.
what do i remove for it?
and i am a returning player, and i dont know where i can improve further, is it possible to link logs here so someone can help kindly check for me?
I know two timings. First Pull on Water-Wing + 2nd Boss + 3rd Boss or last pack before final boss, esp. on Forti. On Tyra some do the WL skip and start with the Double-Boss to get an earyl Lust timing there
u want it on every TJS
even there its good as CD for 2nd boss. Only instance I dont use it is AA, as you have SR for every screech anyway and I like the nails esp in the lasher area
you swap tough as nails for it, since it's a choice node
What you guys planning to buy from trading post thing in couple days?
I think I’m def gonna get that flail
OG thunderfury for life
good job qtpie
hey guys how do you like to trains your ruby whelp shell
its not that good get soemthing else
Hi! I think i have some kind of mess in my stats. 4% versa is wrong, right?
Should i change my gems to versa haste, and change the shield to versa haste instead of versa crit?
Now i'm running with full haste gems
There is no mess in your stats.
You don't need Vers.
🙂
If you follow the stats prio all is fine. In high keys (20+) putting more weight on versa instead of crit might be okay, but even that is not absolutely necessary
All stats are good stats 
When you write a long explanation and then mighty Mwahi ansers in short -_- 😄
We like haste more than the other secondaries but as long as you're getting more stats, you're good.
Is this bad stat distribution?
There is no good or bad stat distribution
You can tank any level of content with any stats
I mean, as i can choose gems and stats on shield, i don't know if i'm going too nuts into haste crit
ilvl (for primary stat) > haste > crit >=vers > mastery and you are fine
im concerned with haste,does it worth to sacrifice some ilvl for more haste?
Ok, so going full haste gems and crit haste on crafted is good
No, we don't sacrifice ilevel for stats. More stats > "better" stats
I was worried looking at rio for M+ tanks and all running about 14% versa
Yeah a lot of people fall into the vers stacking trap
Also, i have another prot warrior friend, who is going 14% versa, and our healer says he's easier to heal
(might be that he presses more buttons than i do, ngl)
I would call it: A lot of people fall into the "I look at the top ten and they skipp/wear X"-trap
Yeah, but from my 4% to 13% theres a gap
And there's also a gap from 4% haste to 13% haste and 4% crit to 13% crit.
and other key level, other DD, other CC etc etc etc
In order to go that distance they are choosing to sacrifice some other stat.
What's your point?
I will guarantee you that it's a difference in gameplay, not a difference in stats.
how do i check if i am using enough or too many IPs? and if i am using SB enough?
Logs.
My point is: 4% versa may end on being squishy?
No.
It will not
Or is not that impactful
YOu will die a billion times to gameplay errors before you die once because you didn't have x% stat
Gotcha
It’s around 5% dr
Ok, i'm sold then xd
logs from last 2 nights, can someone guide what is a good value?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WzmMG1CR3PjTAV9k
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/n78qzbHdLrG6J2yg
That’s like 1/3rd of a key level
amount of IPs for eg
Does anyone know if battle-scarred vet is still bugged and not working properly
Have to say, guys. This discord is awesome. I'm in other classes discords, and not even close on the amount of useful information, insight and quickness
Your SB is fine, 90% effective is OK.
Much love
For starters, I want to say I appreciate that you are not running Barbaric Training.
thank you for the inputs, anything i can do to improve?
so more IPs?
press more buttons 😄
Oh lawd, that's a lot of wasted rage
Especially during cooldowns, you need to press IP a LOT to prevent overcapping rage.
It's either more IP OR..looking at your overall which is very low, use Revenge more.
hey, are you still able to block and parry while channeling grieftorch?
what is his overall?
No sir
~34k
19-20 key lvl 40k-50k overall is it good?
Yeah just to put that in perspective, I do 35k overall and I'm like 386 or 387
very insecure about it
so i should go arms stance also for fortified trash? and revenge more ya
Comparing to my own logs of a similar time, it does seem like your IP usage is lower than mine, je.
ok!
You're not using CDs enough either. Shield Charge should line up with every Demo Shout. TR and Ravager should line up for every other Demo Shout. Which means that you should aim for equal casts of Shield Charge and Demo Shout and about half as many TR/Ravager as Demo Shout casts. Remember you want to have Demo active when you use your CDs (other than Avatar) because you get a 20% damage boost from it.
It's more or less fine jeah - depends on the dungeon. 50k+ should be something to aim for.
AA for example on a +20 is a solid 80k+ DPS dungeon.
We operate on a big feedback loop. The more you use your CDs, the more rage you generate, the more you have Avatar, the more damage you deal.
working on it
Forever
You shouldn't really need defensive stance much. Certain fights/tankbusters are good to use it on but you should be in Battle Stance most of the time.
Crawth is a good boss to have defensive up the whole time because there are only brief periods where you don't have the bleed on you
3rd boss of TJS and 2nd boss of RLP as well
Though you have a bit more freedom on stance dancing on those ones
ahhh
what is TR?sry i cant remember
you mean my offensive CDs or defensive CDs?
Thunderous Roar
oww yy
Offensive.
hmmm i thought i have been using them off cd tbh, but looks like maybe not
Like look at this NO log:
You have 45 shield charge casts but only 38 Demo Shout casts
Which means 7 of those shield charges were 20% lower than they could've been
i dont have the demo shout talented though, does it still affect?
(not to mention the other damage that would've been increased by those Demo Shouts)
pwar and brew ones are probably the best atm
Oh I missed that...yeah you need to get rid of BSV
brew one is always good, the other good disc kind of bounces around with whats meta but pwar disc is never just straight bad
BSV is bugged and isn't worth using
ok noted and thanks
Not all DS and SC sync up..it's 1m vs 45s

🤔 They are both 45 seconds unless I'm missing something?
Nanaa, i'm just dumb.
2.9k dps btw
wat phial r we using for M+?? glacial fury?
Yes.
Is eye of the storm also good?
Yes, but Glacial will more than likely provide more.
👌🏼
nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dude 😭
Yo this is fire xdee!
this mans been recording and analyzing every single bricked key since SL season 1
Oh i think i remember a video about this!
Hey besr emblishment to go with Neck? 🙂 mainly playing Mplus 🙂
The secret is that he has never timed a key
Only bricks
So for spellblock talent, does it interact with shield block or it blocks without shield block being up?
Spell Block just enables you to also block spells
So it's guaranteed chance with Shield Block up
chance to block without up
Thanks

Hey guys, any advice on the last trashpack in jade This week, i just depleted an 20 and Got slapped around by that pack - everthing else in the dungeon is a cakewalk
spell reflect on CD, rotate defensives, run like a bitch when you're out of defensives/stops
also take spellblock in that dungeon
Didnt even Think of that, yeah good idea
Spell block trivializes that pull for 20 sec
Gotta try that, it felt so rough
you can run out of range of dark claw
the haunting sha should die forst
I go into this pack with double wall, spell block and roll in reflects inbetween on dark claw casts. Helps a lot your dps to nuke that pack much faster if you can stay there for a couple of seconds. But yea, once u have nothing to eat that claw I dont even think about interrupting hjhaunties ^^
Good advice tnx!
Tried aoe taunt and run/kite, but lost aggro too Quick
Gonna do some talent chance for next time now
The goal for me was to be able to facetank that up to 1st sha summon so I get this pack on me so again, team can dps them down w/o getting smacked down
Did it on a 20 yesterday and can confirm what the other guys said. But in my opinion it‘s not on you it is on the dps. Go in get good threat on them and when cd‘s are gone you 🏃♀️.
By the time I ran first sha fell over and pack was chill because they were pumping.
Still confused that the untimed 21 gave more score than this timed 20…
SR on cd? I start with SW -> schockwave to sinc the claws -> SR -> DS + SC that fear cast -> Spellblock > fear for sync claw again -> SR and then I kite most of the time u don’t need to kite cause they are dead
Whats the vibe check on swapping from HR to ITF? Some kinda minimum haste needed to make it work or do you just accept the lost block uptime for damage
I swap in tyr/ff weeks 😅 I don’t mind a 1 sec gap in tyr week when I fail
its marginal damage increase
stick with HR
You can start with ravager + SC, shockwave, spell reflect dark claws, spellblock, then use SW
You are losing mitigation if you start with SW then shockwave
I learned that pugs don’t kick so I safe the sc for the interrupt. But yeah I do the normal start with avatar ravager. But true I could wait with sw after the SR / Spellb
Also if you can use SW as late as possible because it’s duration is very short.
Hello just a question, what uptime prot warrior should had at the end of the dungeon on his ignore pain ?
I mostly have like 60-65%, but Im not sure If I shouldnt have more, I guess is up to if Im dying and doesnt need to spend it on shields
IP uptime isn't really a super important metric but like 90~%?
Also that's healing done not uptime
In that ss
also, depends on if you have 4 piece.
Oh yeah true tier makes a difference
I got 4 piece
Its just now on forti in 20 I started realising if I shouldnt spam more ignore pain
It's not something you're really aiming for in terms of a number, just as long as you're not rage capping then you're good
spell reflect and spell block are you friends.
Yea, Im using them pretty much 😄
SC?
Shield Charge
thanks!
haste+anything
Crit helps your parry and Vers helps your heal+ dmg
I started with haste Vers and since some time I shift a little bit more to crit
ye i think ill go haste+ versta for now
Just a little think
The proc from lariat takes the second stat from the gems
Haste+ Vers = it procs Vers
Vers+ haste= procs haste
which trinket is better to use: decoration or incarnate icon? Icon is A+ tier according to wowhead guide, but it sims so low for me, even if I select that someone else has it in the group
you'd be using icon in raid, then whatever (probably not icon) in m+
ok@jolly granite
Icon is strong in every content
does it proc more often if more people have icon?
Most tanks and play it + an on use trinket
You're using it to buff yourself and other icons, yeah
in M+ you're not really getting that benefit or benefiting others unless you're all running icon
Something you can sim for
No, it procs and has a chance to steal the buff from other players buff
I mean, if in 1 scenario there is only 1 dps that can provide crit buff, and in other scenario there are 10 dps that can provide crit buff - does that buff proc more in the 2nd scenario or no?
Icon is very meh unless others have it.
Therefore in keys it sees a lot less value than in raid.
It's literally just a vers stat stick if no one else has it. Nothing special.
yeah i was simming it for m+ and it just sims low even with all buffs available. Forgot that I also buff others by using it tho
Yeah it's very much a group increase more than a personal increase.
btw, any idea if eranog ring is still "very rare" when rolling vault loot?
im not sure if I should try to target it by speccing into dps spec when opening vault, as it reduces the pool by 2 items (just from eranog and council mythic)
Yes that will increase chance by a bit
You should anyway open wault as fury/arms
For dps trinkets
unless you aim for 421 shield from M+ vault
^
Do you have 418? Crafted?
got hc grieftorch with leech and mythic decoration
Cool
whetstone would be nice to replace decoration with in m+ maybe
but its such a small chance to get it from vault imo
how is granyth's enduring scale btw? cant really sim it as it needs u to take damage
but it also does some damage
Its meh
Not a dps trinket 🙂
Absorb is overall small value
Dmg aswell
Also its rng so decoration is better
cant control the proc timing makes it bad. i would aim for all-totem + whetstone for keys
Cus you can plan it
it procs quite often tho, no?
Scale has a low ppm
Cobalt ring has twice the ppm, if you use both, cobalt would mitigate more
decoration is not impressive, small absorb shield not much better than using IP
ah, yeah i was sort of comparing it to cobalt ring. that ring procs like hell
I Hope for a totem drop next week 🥺 I rly wanna test it in M+
Running whetstone/ bigtoe
im hoping to get eranog ring anytime soon. should synergise very well with grieftorch + decoration
Maybe from DF dungeon event ill get some of that raid juice 🙂
Better craft the Ff belt
I have the belt too yeah
I hope they don't add a second life trinkets next expansion, those really suck
Or next season
its not for overall absorb amount, more like just a panic button, not strong, but still something, and for me right now its also STR item, cause i was pretty unlucky with trinkets so far XD
It's a damage trinket. You use it on cooldown
The absorb is like one IP, it's not a defensive trinket
more like 3-4 IPs, no? it gives 80k absorb twice, which scales with amount of enemies aswell
it also loosing value the moment u hold it longer than the cd
ok but what does IP do
its not just 80k absorb
it reduces damage by 55%
so one use of IP which is ~48k
is actually double that in terms of mitigation
it doesn't 🙂
im not good at explaining it in words but its not 47k shield
its vastly more
it used to be 90%
imagine that now
I thought it absorbed half of the damage you take, up to the strength of the shield. is that incorrect?
Legion 😍
now we cant even keep 55%
