that was bolstering
i think
and was sent to me
not made by me
dps players tryna optimise my route
its probably more elegant to do this and los at red
Ye
o
or else you need like 4 to 5 interrupt to gather
The earthshaper are the elemenrals
oh earthshaper is not the problem
With the shield
u mean tectonic slam guy>
its the ice lances
yeah
with enough icelance caster youre gonna die
its the frostbolts
200k+ per hit
it gets really fucking rude
you need those 2 for count unless ur pullin extra after
Whelps + steel barrage dude
eggs
yeah
2 eggs or something
each egg is 0.15 i think
yea rlp is really well desinged count wise
this pull u would want to shroud in
and pull backwards
or smth
with moonkin or w/e
hunter pull
if youre los it should be fine
yeah
its not really a pug pull tho
doing 10 mobs into chain
or w/e
is alrdy enough for there small brains
u got andy the priest tryna battle spitefulls in the hallway
i mean its gonna end up being if the casters die before you deplete your cds
cuz there isnt gonna be enough interrupts one way or another
i hope not
i would guess 30.5%
uh
hate to break it to you
but pwar will not feature in the mdi
they do less dmg than brm!
mdi isnt 26s
Don't say squishy, cuz that's wrong
what level are they running
21
is it confirmed
Time trials are open.
You can see the times already
Echo with a 14:30min temple
what ilvl are they running at
i mean that sounds kinda boring tbh
Don't have monk
itamae will be sad when people rub it in his face
lol what
16minute rlp
they nerfed brewmaster?
is jacc echos tank?
Naowh, Meeres, zaelia, clickz and gingi
They didn't do rlp yet
ye
Echo usually focuses 3 days on 1 key
there arent even many 21 submissions
Yeah, not alot of competition yet
or at least the difficulty
Yeah I just do the 2 time trial dungeons to get the banner every season. I don't do anything besides that.
They had 20% of their dmg nerfed by 45% that just happened automatically and it got put into 10 other buttons
my friend said it was same but more rotational
ye
i have a question
but as ive not played brm i wasnt sure how much it was
In AA I think we'll see maybe see bear tank
i redact my statements about brm being the mdi tank
in HoV how do you do the pull before 2nd boss?
😦
Everything together
everything being
And just back pedal until dead
the 2 mini boss
Oh
together
pull 2nd one when 1st one cast
how do you do it?
You pull the storm guy into middle, wait until he is halfway through eye of the storm then pull light guy
GG
then when sanctify start cast move lightning guy a bit away
Done
pull the female first or the guy first?
You just don't want to be stuck in eye of the storm when the other one does sanctify
Aren't they both dudes? lol
ok thanks for the timings
sort transmog by main and secondary colors would be great, colors on actual items, so its set to red and black, you mostly or only see items fitting that colors
half way through....
thats a good idea i think
maybe i should test it out in a low key instead of Yolo'ing someone's +18 lol
Should be acc wide
All transmogs are account-wide unless they're for specific classes afaik
And even then it's account-wide for those classes
do you pull everything together before the two mini boss?
so i dont until i have mostly my gear done
i was doing this last week
i have not thought about this week hov yet
you can combine 6 and 7
Well cuz bolstering
it will require your dps having eyes
But generally you wanna do 6+7 if you wanna be efficient
even post nerf the purifier has a lot more HP than the others
and dodging 2 frontals
Aspirant too
and managing 1 interupt
with the hov nerfs its not strictly required until quite a high key
ok i buy many trading post items
22/23 tech?
is there a cap on how much trading post coin you can earn?
1k
Fuck the mount
Tmog is the real endgame
theres some rly nice shields from legion
i saw on my friends pala
ashbringer?
might of been that idk
You can't use paladin shields from legion as pwar
ye
ik
but it looked cool
and were talking about tmog
it was from some rare or smth he said idk
I guess
Do you mean bloodseekers bulwark
not all red
idk
i can find his armoury
maybe
idk if it shows there
truthguard
its not really red
it has some red
he wears a lot of red on his armor so i got confused
but its not the default
so idk how to show it
i didnt play legion
the edgy vibe makes me think it's a pvp color
so spell block worth in RLP?
100%
i always liked pala artefact shield anyway
not taking spellblock in rlp is asking to die to 1st boss
hardcore
1st boss is kinda whack
ah yes 250k frostbolts
The huge spell queueing works quite in your favour
4 sucks
i would have to check logs for frequency
always happens when healer has to run the circle out
And the healer is an evoker
yes

you can have defensives up for most of them with good dps to phase
but man
when u have to tank 3 in a row
its a bad time
ive died with that boss at sub 5%hp way too many times
you are begging her to start the whelp phase
does raz parry? i was in a pug last night and they wanted to face boss to group whole time
ur just gonna have to walk around if u face away loads
awfull
huh
not seen that b4
its a nice addition tho
b4 u pepega buy a load of gear
that was for 262 right
hey does anybody know of any spell reflect m+ guides? like what spells are best to reflect etc
oh cool thx
and a weak aura that lists spells u can when your targetted
Wouldn't use that WA as its not being maintained atm theres a bunch on wago that you can use
good for learning what u can
i did notice mine is missing some stuff that its good to use on
regarding RLP 2nd boss, should I delay my Demo Shout slightly so that it covers the entire bleed duration or use it as soon as the boss uses its Tankbuster?
seems to me the bleed is more problematic than the actual tankbuster for pwar
eyyyyy we did it
Hey
Anyone knows if that ring from cobalt reputation that gives a 70k shield from time to time. Does it works like ignore pain for example if I have 100% life does it absorve damage before I start loosing life ?
It works like any absorb. Ignore Pain is an exception, not a rule. If you have a 70k shield from the ring, then take a 70k hit, you'll consume the absorb and take 0 damage.
@warm plinth what I meant is that if I have 100% health and the shield proc
Will it still absorve the 70k before it start consume my hp
Or do I loose the shield if my hp is at 100%
Will only consume your house if it is a big bad wolf.
?
Absorbs don't care what your health is. They don't work any differently when you're at 100% vs when you're at 1%
does the Eranog ring work in Aoe?
I know this ring is a bit under lvl but it seems soo good
its a single target debuff on 1 target per proc
I'm trying to figure out if I want to take it or a 418 Signet of Melandrus
sounds simmable
You're not wrong, but the signet sims better in AOE and I wasn't sure if the proc worked in AOE. Just trying to understand the sims better.

Can someone please link me the macro that pummels your focus target if you have one, otherwise just pummels your current target
i cannot for the life of me find it
Is 30k DPS a decent number to shoot for in m plus? Or should this be higher?
anyone have any suggestions on macros for IP
the proc is exclusively st
def higher
in prot tree, why not bolster, or spell block, or alclarity (5% more healtha nd armor) ?
you already have 100% uptime on block so no bolster
spell block is case by case
alacrity is just not very good
Like 40k or 50k? I mean higher the better, but at what point can I say "I've arrived" so to speak
well m+ dps is really about pulling bigger
@fathom robin aoe or single target ?
the ability to pull bigger gives you more dps
I guess I wasn't specific. What would be acceptable for each?
also, why not disrupting shout? aoe stun seems like it would help big in M+? well, I guess with pugs, team interupsts not as much an issue?
It can be useful, but you can't grab everything which is why it's situational
You should be doing 30k overall in blues and greens at 340

I use it, and top all interrupt charts. The reality though is that you already have shockwave, pummel, and stormbolt. Accomplishing high keys should bot involve carrying that hard.
I train my whlpling haste yeah
I didn't even mention War Stomp if you're a Taren
and shockwave, stormbolt (and War Stomp) are stuns. Disrupting should is not, so it's on another DR-Counter
same as intermidating shout
That's exactly why I take Int Shout
Almost timed a 22 halls... Died on Odyn @ like 81%. However, Its the first dungeon I logged and I felt like I played pretty clean. But, looking to improve yet. Any big gamers wanna peep the log and lmk if anything is standing out? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DjNQbL4TgY193GJF/#fight=last&type=summary&source=3
or ST, yes
Yea man, trying too hard just doesn't work. I think we're saying the same thing.
1.) Tons of wasted rage.
2.) I have no idea how you had 95 free globals to Heroic Throw with
3.) All CDs are on the low side. Should be able to get 61 demo/SC in 46 minutes (-5 or so for running and shit); you had 39/40. TR and Ravager are a bit low too; missed approximately 8 casts of those (again, -a few for running and shit). You also probably missed a cast or 2 of whetstone but that's within the error range probably.
4.) You only used Blazebinder's 8 times (2 min CD, 46 min dungeon)
Those are my immediate findings after 5 mins or so
Really good effort man
How did you generate this list? Asking from a self improvement perspective.
That name hahahaha
1.) Resources>Change dropdown to Rage>look at wasted column
2.) Casts>he had 95 casts of Heroic Throw
3.) Dungeon length divided by CD of each CD (e.g. 46 minutes / 1.5 min = ~30). Obviously you can't always use CDs on CD if you're running or whatever so you have to adjust for that
4.) Casts>8 casts of 'Bound by Fire and Blaze'
Sorry meant to reply to you @modest gulch
😉
do i stance dance or just sit in defensive?
Thank you
Sit in Battle. Use Defensive if you need to for tankbusters
One way to get the point across 🤣 such a shit talent
Defensive stance is a DR. Not perma stance
10-4 ty
I was 2200 befor I was forced to acknowledge this.
With 8/8 heroic aotc clear
I have been moaned at in keys as low as 15 for not being in def stance. To sit in it a full run is not clever and will hurt your damage alot
IDT thats a crazy amount of wasted rage for a 46 minute dungeon fwiw
i mean obviously ideal is 0
Then I do 22s without def stance hit once 🤣
People really do try to coach people on their class without likely knowing how to even play their own
I'm at the +18 level, I find that I only "need" defensive stance in giga pulls or large mitigation situations.
I wasn't intending to mean that it's a crazy amount, but it is an area he can improve, which is what he asked for.
yah yah
Maybe tons was a bad way to word it lol
I'm just here for help homie. You've been very helpful to me.
i didnt math it but it looks like 10-13ish
which can and shuold be lower
but
looking at deaths
id say you didnt time this cause dps like standing in frontals
This is my favorite death. Only a tad bit of overkill
im actually retarded and am looking at deaths ina different key
Valuing a good death is PEAK pagan mindset.
I meant the people sayingg to dstance in a 15
Lmfao
🙂
Don't even really need it on giga pulls unless you are gonna be in danger, bolster, big hits that can't be cc'd or interrupted. Then back into bstance for some slice and dice
for as long as block is as op as it is
you wouldnt need to be in dstance because you pulled a lot, tbh
you would need it if u pulled a lot and theres a lot of randy casts
or other non-blockable damage
Add on for telling you what can/when to spell reflect? 👀
Maybd its only in situations where I don't trust the healer then
but as it is most trash melee damage is being reduced by 80+ just for existing in your vicinity
Honestly. Don't need a healer
Hard pill to swallow if true
You don't tbh. If all the important casts r being stopped, youre doing your rotation properly. Don't need healed
I mean I agree in most situations and I mostly "outheal" fhe healer but... and its a big but... I can't envisions running high M+ without a healer.
Am I fucked?
I'm zooming through most of this
i see very little wrong
small route optimzations at best, ultimately yall lost this key cause u wiped on odyn which is a bad move
froma tank perspective most you coulda done is rallyed the brand
Brand can go fuck itself 🙂
this is just an uncomfortable amount of spears of lights tbh
I struggle with wasted rage for sure. I know press IP off gcd but need to be better.
I appreciate the insight and will put it to use!!
brand deaths i give a pass, that mechanic is toxic af
Wiping on Odyn happens for 2 reasons only... imo.
- you didn't kill the add
- you didn't tank boss in mid so you can get to the portals
Yeah that kinda reads as people being greedy or something
Idk how you get hit by that mny spears
many*
yall wiped cause you got hit by spears which really shouldnt be the reason
its hard to see the exact fight from logs
if u have videos of that i can give positioning etc tips
Yeah M+ replays are sketchy at best
but "dont stand in shit" isnt something you can out tank
Nah, replay exists
They do aoe damage when they spawn
yeah replay doesnt show spear locations
So my healer says
i dont think its party damage
p sure its only if ur in the swirly
When we went back, I wasnt standing in swirly confirmed and payed attention and I took damage when they spawned
I rallyed and we lived (when there was like 6 spears down going into 2nd angel phase
i literally just finished a 21 hov earlier today and didnt even notice the party damage
Anyone know a discord for tanks that are looking for a guilx btw?
ok, ty
Maybe if one person takes damage everyone does? I was get slammed when the spears spawned lol
i was dpsing so its possible i was just dps brained
I made a promo post in general, did I fuck it up?
I am curious if you have vods of the fight
i think the logs' timings are scuffed
Good morning
cause numberrs look very weird
Quick question. Are you guys pugging Keys or always pre-made?
Having hard time now to go up in io at 2.2. Seems always atleast one dps that's really off
I dont solo q for 16s, or anything higher than a 19
The 16-17 range is very saturated with bad players cause of the focii
No. That’s the next step for me. Trying to push for title and going to log and vod to improve
Fwiw I think you and your group did thay key very well
Maybe just have a stronger plan for handling 2nd set of spears going into ofyn next time
Pugged 20s.
Thank you, if I rally we time.
But, still want to make better adjustments. Gonna set out to demo/sc more and waste less rage 🙂
💪
How the fuck do I get more uhhh...
Sparks. I have done all the quests and got the thing
But I haven't seen a single extra spark
Dirt :^)
The proc rate from the thing is such that the expected gain is still roughly 1 every 2 weeks from what I heard
Can someone explain me how to pull those two (8) together and not kill your party?
Pull Storm Mini Boss to the center => wait till channel is halfway through => pull other mini boss.
This way those casts are desynced and not happen at the same time.
Alright
Has anyone done the math on Heavy Repercussion versus Into The Fray? I feel like getting the extra 2 rage and extending shield block is advantageous, but I'm wondering what 10% haste translates into for us since we're not inherently a class built around much damage output
ITF gives more dmg if you can keep it all time maxed, for example in raid
Yes, ITF gains value once you have 40% haste unbuffed
Holy crap - 40%?
Yes, or in raid, but in m+ you need 40%
it's because ITF gives you flat haste percentage point, and with gear going from 40->50 is way harder (if not impossible) than for examlpe from 15 -> 25
I mean - I'm starting to get stacked with Haste gear and I'm only hat 29% at a 404 iLevel. I'm trying to figure out how I'd even get the rest of that
Rings and gear
man 2nd boss RLP is just destroying me this week
just bricked a 23 cuz i died through shield wall and d stance to the tank buster 😦
Did you use the goji berries
the what
There’s berries in the bushes you pick that make you immune to bleeds
You are joking?
Evoker Heal is key for this week, i think. The remove Bleed is really helpful
And being a dwarf
yeah i used dwarf racial on one, but 2min cd
If you used all your Defensive correctly and still dying because of the bleed blame the healer 😂
"It is better to dwarf once than to never dwarf at all" - Janet Jackson
Dps Evoker can remove it too, it's a class talent
Yes they can 🙂 But every evoker DPS i ask in keys dont do it xD
1min

Skill issue
Hey guys, I have a potentially silly question. How do you all deal with gearing and running an off spec? I've been dipping my toe into prot but want to try out the DPS specs also, but I'm worried because dumping sparks into prot would mean my DPS gear would be missing crafts etc. Anyone advise on how to best manage this?
ye i know. even in 23 Keys they dont do it. Why? dont know
just dont give f about it, gear main, offspec is just offspec
Dps and prot use the same gear :>
You gonna craft lariat anyway, and second would be frost fire which is good for both
And you can have 4 additional sparks if you get 1 drop, so weps are covered as well
Okay cool. Guess I'm worrying for nothing. I went Haste/Vers for my lariat which should do well enough for Fury. Less worry more pew pew
Thanks guys!
Thanks!
Hello fellow Warriors!
Is somebody aware of what the Ruby Whelp Shell needs to be trained in for m+ to have the most value for Prot?
ST
even for m+ then?
yes
kk thx mate much apreciated
craft 1h+shield with sparks. Run keys in arms lootspec (so u dont waste loottable on 1handers). Same for vault. And as someone spoke above. Lariat + belt for embelishment if u plan on offspecing as dps and u're not drowning in sparks.
Great advice, appreciate it 👍
Dosnt the shield count as embilishment?
primal molten? No
Well fuck, i thought i did and craftet other belt last night
smh works 😄
only if you put an embellishment on it
"Build in"-Embellishments are things like Lariat or Frostfire Belt
Engi Tinker slots do NOT count as embellisment
so you can have 2 embellishments + engi bracers with CR
I put it while weap was still 395. Forgot about that kekw
only 421 strike twice is better than that
Ye, I had to drop fang adornment for the exact reason above. I like to zugzug as fury ^^
or any other 421 :p
Whats wrong with sophic? wowhead guide suggests it (icyvein does not 😄 )
But opening vault as prot seems as a big nono to me. Still waiting for my windscar
devotion >> writ
ah that u mean ^^
"sophic" is not an issue, writ is 😄
meh who cares if its a normal wep
fang embelish was like 2% dps iirc in a keys. Guess that strike twice would be similar, but no sims done so can't say for sure.
Maybe on wed i'll get my 421 windscar so I can open back in prot 
you can open as fury, that gives chance for both trinket and 1h weapon
Actually true, and no shields in a loottable
Strike Twice only drops under protection spec though right?
fury as well
Frozen deviation is now recomended by the wowhead prot guide?
Looked at the loot table in NO and it disappears under Fury
Strange, happy with that though!
baby woyer is a 2pc gamer now

Do i have to lvlup eng if i want that battle ress wrists?
I don't believe so. Just a crafted item like anything else
But i have to be engineer to use it right
No
I believe engineers have another slot they can make it on that's specific to them
But pretty sure anyone can use the wrists
Question on warriors in twinking (yes ik why twink) I kinda just wanna feel nostalgic n all that
It be prot
I got a LFR 382 Whispering INcarn Trinket and a Blazebinder's Hoof 398 which one should i change for 389 Decoration of Flame?
Use hoof and decoration
tried the beer trick in halls. threw a beer on one of the minibosses (2nd to left) and dragged the leftmost miniboss upon it. they started to fight but suddenly the leftmost one reset(?). what did i miss to do?
or maybe it was the one i threw the beer at that became inactive
gotta talk to it again to activate it
Impossible to do more than 2 at once right? Someone was telling me 4 was possible but I didn’t think so
you can do all 4
You can, just needs coordination
If someone use a Spark of Ingenuity to craft an item (boots) and now he dont like it. Can he get the Spark of Ingenuity back somehow???
Unfortunately no, i threw away one kinda like that too
Whats worse is that now you dont get one weekly, you gotta farm it from ingame content. It kinda sucks for me, because i havent seen bottled essence yet and i am very active
u got 1 every 2 weeks
How? 3 beers at same time? And talk to 1, bring to 2, then 3, then 4? And then go talk to 2, 3, and 4?
There's videos bro
There are videos of it, requires precise timing before the pull starts as the beers will be removed as soon as you enter combat
What flask u suggest for nokund? Glacial or storming?in general what type are u more confident to use normally?
glacial or vers
Any recommendations in what keys to use the double shieldwall talent and/or spellblock?
In tyrannical ruby i use double wall and spellblock. Same for temple.
Any other suggestions?
Yeah i edited right before your answer😆
Academy could have some use depending on how you feel for bird boss
What would you guys upgrade with a Concentrated?
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/silvermoon/nóztra
is a blood DK still mandatory for diurna?
never was?
i know but my raid lead starts to look at other comps and think that a blood dk can make this fight much easier. i guess beacause of the soak? we are not progging on her. we are only on dathea atm
its got nerfed
nice. did you do the adds?
we had a 3% wipe where i took 4 tank combos in a row cause other tank died
our comp is monk and prot too
yes monk and bdk are better for boss
got you. thanks.
the tank slam you brought bdks for used to do like 1.5m damage now it does 500k
blas0n 
this is 1 reason why i dont play with sound
meta is playing dialogue
Guys on azure vault key, to skip the entire frog zone u need to have a rog with shroud and then potion of invisibility right?
there's a jump skip, no shroud needed
Turn around after 2nd boss and go outside and jump down
tbh my runs aren't that faster with the skip. do you win a couple minutes?
Really depends, nice for bolstering or sanguine weeks though
i play with about 10% sfx volume and like 35% music
on wow
sounds is nice, but as tank especially, the noise can get repwtitive and boring
Any1 looked into primordial gems
this expansion has been kind of expensive. in SL i had a slow and steady income from mission table but now im just slowly going broke 😄
Worth it 100% though. Fuck that table
😢
Bought many o bobby coins already this season
Did anyone have an idea on what I should ugrade wit a Concentrated Primal Focus? I have Sparks ready for crafting if need be
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/silvermoon/nóztra
https://imgflip.com/s/meme/Always-Has-Been.png for yogi gold lol
2 wow tokens and 200k from 2 AFP's worth 100k
but, i literal finished bomb spec, going for zapthrottle next, since i need to craft the BS hammer
Wtb either so I didn’t have to tank boss and grey parse our kill 
im with yu on normal and hc
unlocked all the teleport pads
goodjob 
tied to expedition rep
Ah :D there goes my rep status :D
I hope they will not decide that it will matter at some point
🤮
DE has weekly quests in their base too
except for like first week or 2, i do all world quests until i get a reward box, or i get exalted
the raft camera quest is the easiest shit ever
jump on raft, point camera at birds n shit, spam take picture, +250 DE rep
literal 15 second quest some times
Hey guys! I had a quick question and possible theorycraft. How necessary are offensive cooldowns, and damage related talents, to prot warriors? When the main goal of a tank is to soak damage, and generate threat (which is so easy you don’t really have to think much about it…) why spec for DPS at all? I know it helps with threat but… threat seems to be a nonissue in Dragonflight. Hope this doesn’t seem like a stupid question!
Youre thinking about it from the wrong angle. The idea is that if we survive anyway, why wouldnt we spec for more damage?
More dmg is more fun 🙂
Its the same question for healers, when there isnt any healing checks to meet on parts of bosses and trash, you aren't supposed to let go for keyboard and wait. You deal dmg.
For m+ every bit of damage really counts and adds up
The tank "fix" comes from thinking about pull tempo, positioning, using your defensives and other microdecision when there are busters to deal with
It's cliche but in m+ one of the best defenses is a very strong offense
Tank just being a sponge hasn't really been a thing since classic
Faster you end the fight the better
Great answers you guys! I appreciate the input 😁
warrior gameplay is a feedback loop anyways, you deal more dmg you can be more effective sponge
Brothers... please give me pug friendly route for AV... I do not believe frog skip is the play cuz ppl are kinda meh in pugs...
yeah dude, doing world quests has given me so many supplies
What key level ? Just do a normal route and make up time by big pulls
After the second boss as you go down the stairs you should pull everything into that room and do it in one pull. After that do everything leading down to the second room in another pool
Then do the final room in a third pull
Doubling up pack + patrol on the platforms is a big time saver if it can be handled by your pug
How do you guys manage stances? Are you switching alot between the two in M+?
Beginner to prot and this seems a bit daunting
until about 20 you just perma battle stance
If it feels daunting just sit in Prot
then you start swapping to it for mechanics sometimes
In general it feels like if you are going to die through defensives and proper planning being in defensive stance wasn't going to save you in the first place
Ok, cool. Thx probably not gonna hit 20´s ever anyway. So people wont bash me for being perma def stance?
I would be shocked if anyone in under an 18 key even mentions it
99.9% of your pugs won't even know what a stance is
Only swap to Def if you’re getting crushed. Always be battle to be pumping.
playing in defensive stance can make you not notice fuck ups, like standing in shit or eating frontals you could've dodged or used abilities against
Especially below 20s.
If you are doing pugs being safe is always better so there is no shame in just sitting in defensive
take last pack in tjs, no need to defensive stance if you use your toolkit
sure, def stance once your out of juice and shit isnt dead but then your prolly kiting anyways
treat defensive stance like a cd, you got nothing else and shit looking spicy swap
I started off mainly in def stance using battle stance as an offensive button when i felt safe. As i hit around +8ish keys i was more comfortable with prot and tanking in general so i started being mainly in battle stance and seeing def stance as a defensive button when needed
For anything other than the most optimal players that understand all of the mechanics in play and what mobs do what when, I think sitting in defensive stance is completely acceptable and doesn't hurt at all
OK thanks all for advice
If you know the mechanics and the fights well defensive stance can be ignored for the most part
But if you don't know the mechanics well
Or are learning
I'd sit in d
yea learning atm, looking at routes etc.
so might start off in def stance and use battle when more comfortable
I started off by just using battle when avatar was up and sitting in defensive otherwise.
Naw sit in battle switch to defensive on problem packs or bosses(like kungfu lady, crawth)
Boulderman in rlp
what trinkets should i be looking for? how good is scale?
there's a good list in the guides in the pins
raid on-use: boon, torch
raid passive:all-totem
m+ choice: whetstone>blazebinder's hoof>ruby whelp
Are there any resources specifically for raid tanking as a prot warrior? I've checked through tank notes and raid tips on wow head/icy. I'm comfy in M+ with prot but having a few issues raiding.
prolly the str wins out on 402 rumbling over 395 all-totem but you can sim. whetstone is a lock
sim is strictly dps tho
yeah you want to juice your dmg
I'll try in a 20
What embelishments besides lariat would you use if u can't get a diurna mythic ring? Its heroic/normal competitive or just go frostfire belt without ring?
or just go lariat + versa bracers without diurna ring?
the ring isnt anything insane
the shield is pretty low
the eranog ring is way better
all the embellishments are around 1% gain
I see all running frostfire + diurna ring but for me its not an option.
all being who
top 50
prob, but why force belt interaction with mythic diurna ring
why not
can just get raiding mythic belts.
if ur gonna equip it you should get the proc
and the belt does dmg
embellishments are all roughly equal
and if u can get eranog ring its good dmg
and our only way to proc
so a lot of people chose it as a safe bet
i really wouldnt overly fret
the shield has an icd of 30s iirc
so you can math the hps pretty easily
there is a post about embellishments in pins
I’m doing lariat and Vers bracers myself
if versality = critical, should we have the same amount stats on both slot?
that doesnt matter
yeah i'm at 30% haste
Crit/haste gang
or the other way round
Even mastery being the weakest stat doesnt mean its bad per se just stack ilvl then haste then prefer crit/vers but its whatever
why do so many m+ builds drop the enduring alacrity node isnt it pretty good since it scales with other armor/and the strength through armor node?
Its low value, andy runs it because he plays max survival but 99.9% of time a talent like battering ram is better cuz more damage
not running thunderlord seems kinda troll to me
The aa speed increase also means a lot of ss resets which means more rage for ip which means more am fuel as well
Thunderlord is pretty meh
you get demo up a lot more
I try to use thunderlord sometimes I don’t like demo un synced
And then hold it because its desynced from cds or you want to use it as a defensive anyways
Its not a bad talent just kinda meh
Ya but then your holding it for a buster so still lowers its value
if your not dropping demo on cd with tl the talent did nothing
If you’re running bv you probably don’t want to un synce
Bird boss is just buiod ip and bank rage before each bleed and wall when its happening during big group damage
Doesn’t reduce demo that much especially on ST. TL is technically better defensively but only slightly. Battering Ram gives rage through auto attacks and syncing Shield Charge and Roar into demo shouts is a pretty big dps gain. Battering Ram also just makes bosses feel better.
nerf dropped the wall talent in cos
interesting
ik it doesnt do much on st
its mostly for aoe
Cos and sbg can afford to go pure damage; nok too tbh
huh
Sbg is super free until last boss apparently lulul
first boss is tank buster boss
has the aoe + the stacks
but u can sr some
i like being also able to wall
idk
i wouldnt drop the wall talent in sbg
neither does nerf
he literally only did it in cos
Sbg first boss really only foes big damage coming out of eclipse when she has stacks and does aoe pulse right after
Doesn’t do much for AoE either though compared to what it used to. Just desyncs it from your cooldowns for a slight defensive gain in AoE. Personally I prefer the way Battering Ram feels on bosses than TL feels in AoE.
Battering Ram is pog
i hadnt tried br
On a 20 tyr this week you can survive first boss sbg with 1 spell reflect and dstance each stack of 3
If you care about your healer press more buttons
What are you trying to do then
I wall coming out of eclipse even though not really needed just to make heals life easier
honestly when i was reading nomes talents
it didnt look properly at his preffered build
or he changed it
But ya its more of a healer fight then tank with the aoe damage
Whim..
I promise you nome and Jakey know exactly what they’re talking about
i dont eveb know waht this convo is
i didnt say they didnt
i said they either changed it after i looked
due to the changes
Just drop TL for a few dungeons and go battering Ram. Try to sync your demo shouts with Shield Charge and Roar. You probably won’t even notice the slightly more uses of demo shout, but you will notice the constant shield slam procs.
or i misread/lookeda t general purpose
yeah im willing to try it
thats why im talking about it
and looking at other tanks runs
and noticing choices
Ya br is lowkey a pretty solid defensive cuz the ss resets
as they are interesting
Lots of rage for ip on stuff like bird boss
yeah 23/24 aa bird was sounding like a rough time
i was praying healer carries
cant do more than spread defensives
Ya I’ve literally just spammed ip/ss macro through entire bleeds before from constant resets
but maybe talent change will help
i knew thunderlord wasnt good on bosses
would people swap back to thunderlord on hard trash fort dungeons tho
is the question
thunderlord sucks
I haven’t found a single warrior in groups that can do more damage than me using TL. I did some testing with both at the start of the xpac and I just couldn’t get behind thunderlord. Didn’t notice it defensively even on trash, overall was noticeably lower, and bosses felt worse.
I don't use thunderlord
Tl is pretty meh even on high fort you manage stops and defensives properly and worst case you move a little bit to stagger out incoming melees not full on kiting just kinda shuffling to keeps mobs moving
We take so little damage outside bleeds/magic which are mostly stoppable
Really noob question, does a better shield increase your damage?
Would be cool if it scaled with shield slam
Like Any other item
But its highest prio slot cuz reduces damage intake
Which indirectly leads to more dam
Going to try crafting a shield myself, but because leveling crafting professions was so cancer at the beginning I still got green profession items
If you’re already giving up good talents just trying to live maybe, but I don’t. At least up to 20/21s you don’t need to do that and I’m not one to kite much
Hell yeah, thats some nice slamming
Do all EU realms share AH? The BS hammer is still kinda expensive
Only time i kite is stuff that has huge tank buster hits like shieldmaidens or the like and only need to range their casts and go back in
Yall think timing a AA 18 would be more points than AA 20 in 36 mins?
Hi all. Icy veins is saying Frozen devotion or wafting devotion for a weapon enchant. However, I’m seeing Sophic devotion on all the prot wars on radio.io for m+ that’s better how?
Sim yourself
There is no scneario where anything will be better than Sophic Devotion
900 strength man
is there any youtube/or any guide for each m+ dungeons as a tank?
Ok sounds good thank you @deft mortar
And I think the proc is 15 sec
Technically it does. Has a large amount of armor (much more than a chest piece) which feeds into strength through a talent. So you’ve got that plus raw stats on it.
Imagine that first pop off with avatar and everything xd
Yeah I was wondering why the guide is different. Wanted to ask the experts lol
I was more thinking similar to a weapon
I mean a weapon just increases damage through strength which gives attack power. Not even sure weapon damage contributes to anything these days like it used to. If a shields armor means more strength then why wouldn’t it be a reason for more damage?
For example a 324 shield is giving almost 180 strength through armor alone.
Weapon daage still matters for melees which on st is still a decent chunk
anyone know if its best to upgrade a 405 crafter with embellishment to 421 or would for example a weapon be higher prio
I have like 6 405 crafted, and have 1 concentrated primal focus to use on one of them
i went shield to 418 first, then weapon. No embells on them, have a 405 lariat and unstable belt left to upgrade
i spent valor on not shield for some reason
this isnt really prot related.. but is there a community for selling keys?? i need some gold
Naowh, Tactycs, Quazil, Lepan
congrats
And a RLP +15
In 68 minutes
I was AMAZED anyone left
And after 12 wipes on second boss, finally I got a decent trinket. Hoof 402 is better than resonant aunt 379, even with the strength loss?
It is a lot of haste, that’s for sure
I like HAwk. Its timed runs with written explanations of each mobs/boss
We’got an evoker that refused to dispel my dot
He didn’t left after 12 wipes, so I don’t complaint
But the boss hits like a truck
may not have been specced into it for some reason
It is baseline
but yeah you need to be almost flawlessly rotating cds
Told him
oh is it? Lmao
12 wipes I'm leaving after 3 lol
Yea, I couldn’t believe we carried on
It was fun, thought. All caps on chat when we defeated him
If you always quit you don't learn how to deal with the encounter/situation
searing blow is a bleed im p sure
Having bad groups is also training for yourself
which voker does not have a dispel for baseline
Totally
lmao imagine laving shadow moon
We didn’t even tried first boss
The most cursed key in my guild
wow 😄
LOOL
you went cooking in between i bet
I did! Cause I wasnt in it; but coming and going from disc and they still in there
oh boi
haha 😄 yeah just poke "youre again in a key" 😄
but they learned alot about themselves, friendship, and how much siege sucks
we play for moments like this, if u time everytime ez wouldnt make sense

I play for those 1 second before untimed keys
the stress on that last boss as everyone is looking at the bosses health and the timer
you know you lost time in X Y and Z places, but you there and can time if you pump
and then you do
and its like 
https://prnt.sc/kSiAZ8WM4Q5M 3 of them run together at the end and died 20sec to 5 😄 thank god i can reflect dmg
I would love to time a key off a well done spell reflect that drops the boss to dead 1 second before timer
that epic
Does reflected spells usually show up as your damage in meters?
yeah felt the adrenaline and everything
yea sir
yes
Spell Reflect stonks
Noticed that the one off the last boss on Nokhud doesn't
it should
nokhud is like 7%-9% SR
Maybe it's just Skada
from ur dmg
conductive strike P2
I dont use Skada... we details gamers in these parts
yeah details > x
Details sounds like a DPS meter addon. Skada sounds like a pickled fish from Sweden
I used to run both because Detail's GUI is so horrendous
wtf 😄
Dumb question time, Intervene only works on new hits onto someone, so I cant intervene dmg of a DoT for example? also doesnt work on AoE right?
AoE usually circumvents a lot of stuff, but as it's a buff on the player, not sure
Intervene only works on physical attacks directed at the intervened target
Aoe doesn't work, if the ability is physical, you'll eat it instead
"Intercepting all melee and ranged attacks against them," so it wont work on existing dots, no, neither will aoe
Meele / Range Attacks on the target himself - dots not included
So far, the only use Ive found for it so far is HoV for Fenrir
Intervene the chased down target 1 second before he finishes cast
yes, or this week for dumb meeles 😄
ok so you both gave different answers 😄 one said no to AoE one said AOE IF physical
safed the monk 2 times in hov
took my group weeks to trust it
Temple last boss
