You basically want to hold kicks for the hydrolances, and use ccs to stop the tidal burst
i really want to pick up black ops from 2020 now that its 50% off sale
fucking loved black ops iin 2008 or hatever
If you like hitman, world of assasination is really good and all the maps deserve huge praise
i was more of a splinter cell guy
A cop today was chasing a cow on the highway somewhere in central Florida
I unlocked limit break today 
How much damage should I be able to do on first pull of HoV+23 (everything up to and including dragon)? Was at only ~110k DPS.
DPS warrior doing 270k
Fuck if I know, I don't check individual pulls
Dungeon Overall I can give estimates, but individual pulls arent something you check
engineer uses advanced gadget to herd tauren
Overall was 50k
On a 23 with lust yeah
Im creeping into the terrotitory of doing 70k in almost every key
Only smbg is the only key below 70k
lame, the wyrmhol portal only lasts 60 seconds
It wasn’t working very well
Nothing logs can't fix
he didnt use the reagent when crafting the item
Wait you are saying 70k overall for prot warrior or dps?
Pwar
pwar
U guys do a lot of damage lol
i cant come up with a clever one but this isnt a critical engi fail, just a normal engi fail
Dudes - can we talk about lasher toxin on Overgrown Ancient? Am I supposed to be picking up all those adds when they pop the 2nd time around? Healers can purge those stacks, right?
im just a newbie prot sitted on Dstance and trying to remember change for Bstance before Avatar lol
Not all healers, but yes
Details
Just end of dungeon, kek
Wcl is working on attributing SR to our dmg
How else is this survivable?
It's not
Unless you are dwarf or pick up bitter immunity
Druid, monk, paladin and evoker can dispel poison
focus big plant ~bolstering and do it in 2 packs? AA
So you need atleast 1 of them in your party
The small adds don't bolster
So you can safely pull everything except 1 mosquito pack
Only real damage in that pack comes from birds, rest is avoidable
No just pull it all and watch the last mosquitos get fucking gigabolstered, charge someone, and BOOM
It'll be funny as shit
niceeee
Hello...
Why does everyone call them birds wtf lol
the first cast of it (this is indicated whenever he does the branch next, you kill the branch, and by time it dies, the next wave of little adds will come out,
the first cast of the little adds placement does not particularly matter
HOWEVER, the second one placements, DO MATTER, especiially on tyr
This is due to that the adds are immediately alived and start attacking on this second cast of summon small adds.
If it has wings, they are birds, if they are 4 legged they are pups 
Oh I was not aware of that, ty for the explanation
you want to have SC, ravager, empowered TC, roar, giga taunt, all this shit, for when they are alived on the second cast immediately
so that you can quickly get aggro on all 50 or how many ever
Your CD usage is bad
You only used 35 avatars in 35 minutes
You only used 19 ravagers
36 shield charges
And your SS dmg should be waaaaaaaay higher
Yeah - I'm able to do all this, I just can't survive without someone purging those stacks
thats why clumping them so tightly on the second cast is so so important
Isn't avatar ~1min CD?
if they are all within 10 yards circle all clumped up on span, and then you gain aggro or shockwave say to just stop them, dps can efficiently attack many at once, and you won't have to deal with so bad of stacks
No, avatar is 35sec CD when you play well
Sounds to me like you're not paying attention what you use outburst on and just blindly send it
You should primarily send outburst on shield slam
even AOE?
Yes
Only on 5+ targets you send it on TC
During avatar
Outside of avatar only on 7+ targets
What should I pick?
I have 392 Ruby + 376 Dec of flame
411 tier hands + chest
Icon
unless its like huge amounts of aoe, like i think its like 8 or so targets where TC becomes more dps, but SS is the better option to hit, if you can
Even better. Just kill the first set of flyers. Don’t use any dps CD’s. Then pull all 3 lasher groups together. Avoid the second flyers all-together
Valor is now uncapped so you can easily just upgrade all m+ gear to 415
So just pick the trinket
It's 500x better than decoration of garbage
Do you just sit on TC until SS comes off CD then?
thanks bro! seems the best option tbh
Yes, fish for SS procs with revenge
I macro avatar to shield slam. Not really bad right?
Eh
i think he means if empowerd with OB @strong forum
Kinda bad
possibly, may have to fish him for that question
Yes I know
best way to automatically record logs? want to study more my logs like nomeratur do for Juniper
There are addons for that
never heard of logger head
More info besides that?
no, i thought maybe what u were saying was, when not empowered, he can fish for SS with tc
Just lookiong at dathea chest vs tier pc chest same ilvl, but tier has leech
idk which one is more worth keeping for m+
i have 5/5 tier
Hmmm
newbie question. like Juniper used only 35 avatar on a dungeon with 35 minutes. its bad okay but how calculate timing without combat?
yeah not running a poison dispel on someone in AA is inting
Tough question there tbh
Prolly leech
:*(
Since big crit small vers chest isn't bad
Good for damage
But dathea chest is also jooce
hrmm
Average CD of Avatar should be 35-45 seconds so you just take total time you spent in the dungeon, divide by ~40 seconds, and that's approximately how many you should have assuming you're using it exactly on CD. Obviously it'll be probably a little lower than that due to travel time where you're not spending/generating rage, but it gives you a ballpark estimate.
they may just forget, or it simply may not be in an ideal path for them to get
or they may forget to bind it correctly
I mean if it's the difference between being able to kill the boss and not kill the boss, it's worth losing damage if that's what's required.
For example in my HoV 20 of 35min duration I had 48 avatar casts
Most poison dispels are not difficult to take though
yea. 35 minutes (60) = 2100 secs /40 = 52 avatar.. (maybe 45~50 considering little lower and cd's variation its a lot better from 35 avatar)
ill looking for that since now
avatar/ravager and others cds
my uptime
Who ping
they respond to u, then delted it , only said t
T
i didnt see the name of @ 'r
Also downtime
Between packs
HoV has alot of that
But on average during combat my avatar CD is only 35 sec
But I'll have to excuse my previous statement, in HoV im hovering around 62-65k dps, not 70k
My fault it was a wrong send
Is this trinket worth using for prot?
Okay, got it. I have this and a heroic eranog trinket on atm
using icon+all-totem atm. its a good combination? lol im looking a kurog tank
So race change to dwarf female or male for rlp
Just level a new warrior don’t give blizzard more money
in any video game that gives me the option to choose male or female i play male
very
Fuck.
You don't cast it
this is why you take rend
Oh shit
Yeah 'cause I just switched to prot on the fly and I just HATE having to cast Rend over and over
makes sense to have it with TC tho'
and then this, gives your rend casted from TC a chance to give rage
Thanks guys, super appreciated
Dwarf to clear rlp or kul tiran female for the mommy milkers
what the fuckkkkk when did that get added lmao
that damn years-long break i took.. i think i remember paying for a gender swap at some point lel
Yeah in the past that’s how it was
Got changed in SL I think
if thats news to you, look at some of the recent major patch patch notes
they have changed....... soooooooooo much in the last 3 years, for example in this most recent patch you can now get and transmog grey and white items
most parts of my tier set its from raid/default.. with time and drops its better to use m+ parts and transform with catalyst? question this because m+ equips I can upgrade with valor.. while raid tiersets are fixed ilvl
Mommy milkers
we dont use spell block on diurna if we are the one tanking her right
can u deathskip passt the last 2 sentinels before skovald in hov
shield right? i have 415 tier pieces in the shoulder and chest, and 418 crafted shield:
You can just shroud/invis. They don't have true sight
@strong forum So, basically, I want to dump almost all outburst procs into SS unless, say 8+ targets or desparately need threat?
Sorry about delay, am in raid
I believe it's 5+ targets for TC outburst
any benefit to running spell block on sennarth?
web blast is physical
I haven't ran Spell Block at all in raid then again I'm only on Sennarth
yeah, idk what I'm doing, I just push buttons LUL
somehow still do 23s and 24s
But I need to pump up the damage
wanna hit 70k overall in most keys
the 2nd pull in SBG after the void patrol. im always looking from the stairs which side void respawn but when I go the void swap sides xD unlucky or have any good trick?
Generally, the left side will be clear. If it's not, just wait and it'll go away
you know the time for he change the side?
never know if its better back and change side or just wait
Would you take back or weapon for fury? Because valor is now uncapped and pretty much I will upgrade it to 415 as that back doesnt have bis stats anyway.. cant decide
My current back is 408
Do you play fury often
back 100%
Yea I already did
Damn I got literal garbage from all my m+ slots in my vault
but 408 Diurna's Chosen to replace my 395 one in raid slot
yo, what would you guys take mostly for high m+, been playing char only recently besides once a weekly, but neither of the items seem like an actual upgrade, do ppl actually play eranog ring? i assume i lose a shitton of haste with it

Quick question, which ring would be best to take? Seal of Filial Duty ilvl 418 (Absorb) vs Thunderous Downburst Ring 421
First one got speed on it aswell
Seal 100% and craft the embellishment frost fire belt to proc it
Alright, cheers
first few pulls on mythic kurog and god damn he hits hard.
Wow this week is super easy for affixes
421 tier helm, or 415 tier helm with leech?
- Tertiaries don't come into the decision making process unless it's two identical pieces.
Bolstering fortified would be a nightmare
like it was last time
tyr bolstering is nice
super smooth
bolstering is awful
its not bad on tyr weeks
ring is a good chunk of totally free damage
It doesn't heal mobs
I wouldn't say it "heavily" slows down keys rn
yeah idk man bolstering is pretty lol now
Ideally you get all the pack evenly low so even when an individual mobs health gets buffed, it's on a low enough percentage so that it doesn't take too long to finish off
but honestly you hardly have to think about it
should bring back the og bolstering feel
make lashers bolster big flower dudes
mmm yes
It increases their maximum HP, increasing current HP by whatever relative percentage it's at. This effectively "heals" the mob.
the percentage increase of a tyrannical trash mob that should already be low is pretty tiny
at the point where the mob gained enough raw health that I'd be bothered by it
the extra damage it might do is much more scary
even so it's not fortified so it's whatever in 99% of cases
Bro they’re not gonna force a meta shift mid late into a season are they
I'd appreciate some help choosing, I have 421 shield (crit/mast), a M decoration of flame, and a 415 whetsone. Do I just take sockets?
huh?
Oh god fuck me
421 helm w/socket up from 405 w/socket
vs.
411 Grieftorch
Torch sims at +2.5% but Helm is +1.5%
But I can always get another 411 torch farming H Brood, I can't get a 421 socket every day
Give me the strength to make the right choice and not the meme choice.
Probably socket, yeah
Prot pally got buffed again
simply ignore meta
ez
i mean once these bdk damage buffs go through they'll also be extremely competitive
Meh, if we were on a level where it mattered, we'd already have one leveled
It's only relevant if you're doing literal WF keys or WF-1 keys
Got the Eggnog ring in vault, do you actually have to capture these souls to craft it? 🫠
They made it easier anyway didn't they?
reduced the channel time and as long as you kill it in a certain time after channeling, you get the soul
10.0.7 apparently
Nah that's not to .7
i braced myself when i went to craft the belt since everyone had complained so much about capturing souls
it's absolutely nothing
and you have to grab them once ever
i guess i continue to be shocked by how many people play this game without ever talking to another person
All my friends don't have kids that play so they're all asleep the inconsiderate counts
people are scary 
If i taunt a mob that i already have aggro on, will that contribute to it becoming taunt immune?
or is it only when target actually change?
it will
It'll contribute to the DR
the DR comes from the debuff, which gets applied even if you have threat
thanks
Helm for sure
anyone done raz mythic? We're 2 warriors, and im trying to assign aoe taunts and demo shouts, from what im gathering now, it seems like we have to swap at 2 stacks of jaw in p1 in order to use aoe taunt on adds effectively
since we also have to spend a taunt whenever he does breath into wind, to face the boss the right way
Why do you need aoe taunt?
sparks
threat
Just take intimidating shout
we use both
Also taunting off at 2 stacks of electric jaw sounds like so much prevented damage
If you’re having to use both to break sparks you should be stacked on each other and just have whoever is tanking the boss aoe during spark aoe taunt
here is the scenario
First jaw overlaps with volatile current, so i can aoe taunt to break sparks, and taunt the boss at the same time. Good good.
On the next volatile current tho, when we want him to aoe taunt to take aggro and break sparks, he already has aggro to begin with. So he has to aoe taunt to break sparks, then i have to taunt to take aggro.
Ok thats 2 taunts overlapping, not an issue.
However, the boss also does Breath into Wing twice in P1, and we need to taunt there too in order to turn the boss so our druids can charge to it in catform.
Now.. there is then a short period of time where he does Jaw, Current, and Breath into wing, where we seem to need to use 3 taunts, making him immune for when we actually need it
Do you have torrents
torrents, sorry?
Arcane torrent
Do you have like 0 cc or purges from others
we do, but thats alot of dps downtime for our purgets. they spam purge alot already
we wiped 50 times and didnt see p2 yet
intermission*
how important is it that i do the drop ring route on tyrr week in TAV? (doing a 19)
Are you having people stack to doubles
yes
Your raid has to be not using any cc
There are so many that clear like 4-6 chaos nova, arcane torrent, ring of peace, ring of frost, mass dispel individual kicks
The bdk damage buffs are already live and were only ~5%. Unless there are more coming?
Abom limb from a dk also can almost solo a set of sparks
think i worked something out
i'll be taunting to take a 2nd stack with time dilation only once. And i'll be tanking with 2 stacks later on for a short time. Nothing more
and we get to use 2 demo and 2 disrupt on every current
Double pwar on rasza 
You’re griefing if you take 2 stacks because your raid won’t take ccs/kick
You have other issues
as long as i live it reliably
You’re forcing your healers to give you a ton more attention which will take away from bomb/spark overlaps
i have TD on the 2nd stack, i should be able to live it mostly on my own
It’s also a 33 second dot
alternative is putting more strain on the purgers
No
You don’t purge every spark
You get like 1 or 2 with purge maybe
Also abom limb can almost single-handedly clear sparks
Your raiders just aren’t pressing buttons or kicks and you’re putting a bad bandaid over it to fix it
It’s literally like 2 globals that the raid worries about sparks
Would you prefer this chest or the set chest with crit and versatility? I'm playing only m+
we had 219 purges, 135 spellsteals, and 132 dispel magics on 50 wipes that lasted on average 2min
maybe our comp isnt very good for raz, but we need tanks to contribute to aoe cc as much as possible
Are you using stuns
yes ofc
i actually account for the vast majority of them actually
i just think we dont have as much cc as most groups do
Do you have a dk
yes, unholy
1 sec while I look at log
If it doesn't cost you a set bonus, probably yea
It doesn't, for sure
Yeah
broodmother ring is 3ppm about right? so about 150k absorb every min, resulting in about 4,5mio per key?
Monk is RoPing druids aren’t typhooning dk desynced abom limb from sparks which solos them fury warrior doesn’t have intimidating priest can mass dispel
Thinking about taking it from vault, resulting in -3ilvl on belt and removing the armor spikes embellishment from shield
They’re arcane torrenting the second set of sparks when you can get 2 torrents in if you do 1 and 3
and loos of haste/versa ofc
Assuming you proc it on CD
Which we can't
We only have ~50% uptime on belt, so we get less procs on fire dmg and shield ring than Max possible
Ring of peace completely deletes like a total of 18 sparks, you can use DK grips on them, I think your boomkin or something can get 2 extra incap roars
incap roar is 25 sec cd.
They used 1 in p1
yikes.
urgs.
I would 100% look into all of that before you decide to terrorize yourself and heals with aoe roars into 2 stacks
sounds like a perfect scenario of tell your raid to do more outside of their 5 button damage rotation
think for the first time in all of this tier
so the benefit on the shild is far less, rsulting in the loss of the versa of my crafted ring becomes stronger, together with the 3ilvl (and speed xD) loss of the belt.
i got a lariat atm. would you take this neck and use another item like bracers for the embellish?
You're overvaluing vers
If you've got lariat just use lariat tbh
i already got the 421 totem

I'm stuck using a 421 whelp
i could use the chest. cuz i only got a 408 chest
Go for biggest upgrade then
yeah take chest.
Do I (many others) overwhelming the shield of the ring too?
Other vault pick would be 3ilvl on weapon which ofc is more dps
yeah. stupid question from me
But I always try to value the chance of getting an item from vault too
The shield is a nice to have and the stats aren't mega terrible of the ring
And it's 431 ilvl so that's sexy
Do you need 4p?
have it with the other 4 pieces
Depends on what stats and off pieces you want
mine is only 418 as I don't raid mythic. so same ilvl and same socket as my crafted 418 ring
Should sim it with the catalyst functions
I'd keep it as is
Haste feels hard to come by
But you can also just sim it aswell
Totem + Hunger
how much haste are you guys running?
thanks
i have 30 or 31 around that @grim nymph
I got like 18% :|
I think I just got back to over 3.5k today w/ dathea chest
If I remember it's 30-35% before ITF in keys?
don't run ITF in keys though
Around 35% is when ITF starts to become more manageable with low block downtime, but I'd still not recommend anybody to run it outside of padding low keys
got in vault 421 ruby whelp shell and HC grieftorch. grieftorch sims 3% more dps but i wonder if haste stacked ruby will be better overall since it gives me haste which helps with defensiveness. any thoughts?
Grieftorch
Grieftorch beats sims because people die
If they don’t just kill them for your grieftorch
and just play grieftorch alltotem?

so if its up i never wanna leap out and use it during the pull?
I mean if you do that, it's fine
But gotta keep in mind to not blindly send it cuz you cant block during the channel
Just play around it a bit, but obv aim to send it to as close on CD as possible
oh was not aware that you can't block during it
good to know
yeah so optimal scenario is just leap out and send it until adds get close to me
gotcha
Gets easier as you know all the dungeons. You can use it whenever there is a break in damage.
Do I take a 421 strike twice from vault, or a 421 eranog ring from vault
the real question
Sim question
Strike twice isn’t crazy bis that you wouldn’t be okay with just a 421
that maybe 300 dps, tho
Eranog ring sims higher get the better upgrade
Damn, nome's uppin' his numbers since i last saw
???
It's a 421 strike twice, last time the discussion was a 415 strike twice Luerce
ah
Get the ring
Listen, I didn't notice that
rip that beautiful weapon, it will be sorely missed
That ring is probably rarer than the strike twice
I've been living the life of work asking me to come in at literally random hours so I'm always sleep deprived
I had an eggnog ring with leech, but it was 395 
bro I don't like these corpse skitterlings bricking my block % in SBG
I mean
like yeah I didn't block them because they tickle me from behind while I'm getting to the more important mobs
That's one of those times where you just look at the numbers and go "smh"
like if you have like 5 wasted rage on SS through a key
just look at your wasted rage and just go "smh"
Spend 3 hours vod reviewing how you could kill the spiders more effectively to not waste 5 rage
The eranog rings seems to sim higher if I take off titanic as well
and keep court ring
at that point it just comes down to what stats I wanna keep I guess
Were you going to get rid of the court ring?
is there a way to sim all vault gear?
I was thinking about taking off court and putting eranog there for more raw stat
but guess the auto dmg makes a solid difference
Open vault, while open, open simc
It's a few dps yeah
84 dps difference
And just solid stats, 2nd highest haste ring in the game
just gotta ask myself if I want more crit or more vers
Thanks
Im raid leading and we're about to kill kurog and head to dath diurna rasz
feel like I might wanna build tankier for the future, less into crit
1.4% DR really aint gonna save my life
Especially for raiding stats have very little say over tankiness
Cuz dmg intake isn't high enough, and you have 4-5 healers
CRIT SAVES LIVES.
You really just want to make sure you will live the fight and then push full damage from there for raids
What the hell
Never checked it but im like 90% sure u can parry the bleed from the dragons on brood
Which is giga
You can
Ill be tanking boss sadly
Boss tank is fun
No blood dk feelsbadman
yup yup
No monk feels bad mam
at least the nerf to slam makes it way less bad
You know what else makes the slam way less bad
I feel like boss tank at brood as prot warrior is like, the worst part of the entire raid for us
Not getting it
am I wrong?
Not having bdk is gonna suck
@ionic fern hi ily
my bdk is 402, better get on it
Bdks trivialise both rasza and broodkeeper
Good morning, hope you doing good.
Brew too
I'm good today. I wasn't really on yesterday because I got food poisoning the night before 
Finding a monk tank is way harder than finding a bdk lmao
😦
nah my monks still 60
We have one
Or a bear for that matter.
I aint tryna be the 21st man either
Got to finish the last like hour and a half of my work shift with my head in a wastebasket.
Sense's cotank is a bear if I remember correctly
Homeoffice atleast?
Nope!
Je, but they both wild.
Pun intended?
Tanks are all fine atm that you can just bandaid raid comps or play with w/e
Just degree of difficulty for certain bosses varies a bit
mortal stoneclaws hurts like fuck

I guess we're better suited for adds on that fight
I noticed Prot warriors are taking spell block more often than not now. Is this google doc accurate in the pin? It suggests that you can spell block almost every magic spell, including aoe spells like cleaves/breaths etc ...
Than compared to a monk or blood dk? Yeah lol
Hi guys, what do you think about Burgeoning Seed trinket?
Yep it’s accurate
What are most warrs using for wep enchants? sophic or frozen?
Should be mentioned that a lot of it is just laziness. There's only a few dungeons where it's truly needed.
Sophic
I was hoping for a legs upgrade from vault, got belt instead 🙂 still rocking normal 389 legs 😦
Just because you can block it, doesn't mean you need to block it
I do the bare minimum to not die
no point blocking spells that aren't even remotely gonna hurt
I personally use it in RLP, AV, TJS, fortified NO (solely for the 2nd area) and HOV tyrannical pugs
2nd area NO is largely avoidable since the most danger is from arcing blade which can just be backpedaled. If you're not kicking stormbolts on higher keys you're gonna have deaths regardless (and it probably won't be you)
But I won't judge if you want to be extra safe
Didn't know the backpedal, thanks
what would u pick? i think the gem-option sims the highest lol :/ chest for def? the chest is crafted with BiS stats and u could upgrade hands to 415 with haste/crit
Prot warrior is way better than brew for tanking brood, healing reduction + a dot is both of brew weakness combined
It's doable but it's clearly not good
I would be tempted to take boon for memes tbh
i thought about that lol. but in keys 22+ its extremly risky 😄
yeah probably smartest option - but only +14 strenght. trinket has way more
It’s only risky if you die, if you don’t you’re gonna pump
catalyse a belt?
is there anything important I'd be missing from loot table if I open the vault in arms? I already have tank trinkets and 1h weapon / shield.
probably not then
What does a belt turn into, if you catalyse it? 🙂
The raid belt
right, same with all offpieces?
High haste - low vers
Boots would be the kurog ones? low haste high mastery?
Yes
hmpf, highest upgrade in my vault is boots from 408-> 421, but they're crit mastery. Still high crit isn't bad for dmg. Otherwise it's gemtime
Ilvl is still kilng
a 13 ilvl upgrade is absolutely worth
you take the boots
Boots it is xD
But i mean, could just pump m+ boots to 415, then it's less of an ilvl upgrade
Take em!
get the stats i want aswell
Strength > stats
6ilvl vs. gem?
does the well fed embellishment not count towards my embellishment limit of 2? i have lariat and frostfire belt. but i see warriors with those two and the well fed bonus embellish on boots.
Yes
I have them on wrists, they don't count
It doesn't count towards the cap
ohhh. nice. thank you.
Any iirc
Hey
Gearing my prot warrior alt. I'm not gonna raid, so I'm unsure if the frostfirebelt is worth it, since I wont be getting any of the fire rings.
What embellishment should I make in case its not worth it. I'm looking at Shield of the Hearth since I don't have access to the "easy" shields in the raid either.
What would you recommend for pure m+ prot?
Lariat/Frostfire.
Just craft the other shield with haste+X stats.
Lariat is a "must", the rest are w/e, very close with eachother. Frostfire is just consistent damage.
Knew the lariat part
Just though the belt was due to the rings, guess its not
Thanks alot
Does it matter what onehaded weapon i craft, or are there some thats better then others?
welp, the vault I've rolled could come out of any loot spec >.>
421 helm with leech - i used my only concentrated primal infusion on my helmet
Such first world country issues
eranog trinket is easy enought to obtain
❤️ thank you!
is the whelp shell and the blaze from rlp trinkets decent? i only do m+ so cbf doing raid for the eranos trink
it's decent, not top tier
but hc is really easy to pug
whetstone is the best trink from m+ dungeons
and hc raid trinkets are better than anything u get from m+
I don't think they are, because you can get trinkets from M+
;-;
one of these days i'll at least get a totem

Ahh ye, heroic tank and spank these days?
Even mythic couple of first bosses are tank and spank.
🧑🚀 🔫 🧑🚀 always has been
Gonna try out grief torch + icon this week. On fortified going back to icon + all totem.
isn't icon only a good one if heal + dd has it too?
i mean shetstone gunna be better over a key than grief
yes
hm, could take hc icon or 421 set legs. so far no sims says icon is worth it over my other trinkets
Hoof?
what would you pick? i have 415 whetstone + 415 big toe, and 418 cloak
ye maybe hoof or Dragon Games over my Big Toe 🤔
Hoof> dragon
Imho, but you can sim
Dragon is pita to use
Cloak has what stats?
Any good?
Cloak is Crit + Haste + Avoidance
sims +0.2% in AOE
+0.1% in ST
Hoof is +0.6% in ST
Dragon is +1.2% in ST
both trinkets are downgrade in AOE
might just take the socket...
first time i do 8 x 20+, and i have to take the socket 🤣
which buff do you get in algethar?
haste
ok ty
this is my gear https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/draenor/Sanctus
should I open the vault as prot, fury or arms?
Even if you have some resets? Never tried it in keys and just saw Trell recommend it on tyr weeks.
well whetstone scales a little bit in aoe
You don't want to be planning on people dying in a key XD
grieftorch doesnt
u also cant blaock or parry or dodge while channeling greif
fine on bosses
not great in trash
but hear me out
i direct the frontals
I should not be allowed to have a grieftorch.
does anyone know?
Whatever you want.
cool
Is it worth to craft engi helmet with cr without having skilled the reduced failrate for tinkers?
what are the best trinkets I could get from m+ ?
it does/can cleave. so it's just as good if not better than whetstone in aoe too
well yes and no
mass pulling and cleaving greiftorch
is worse
than just using whetstone
as u can block with whetstone
but it does scale in aoe
Hello there! i was wondering if there is a video or a page were i can check the exactly moments i should be using shield reflect in M+ ?
there's a spreadsheet for it
Planning on someone to die and profiting off their death are 2 very different things
That’s a Tier slot and a good one. If you want the res take bracer’s.
is it possible to sim the value of a socket?
For dps yes
thank you soo much
no worries
in top gear you can add a socket just above the enchant section
Just remember to check pins @opaque perch heaps of stuff there
it's kinda random which piece it goes on but that does not matter 
ah ty
remember to select gems and replace existing gems/enchants when running that sim if that is something you want too
looks like my Enha Shaman simming +1.5% dps in AOE and 0.6% dps in ST for a new gem
kinda sad having to take socket on 2 toons 🙈
for lariat to proc haste you gotta put in low haste jewels right?
Yeah, the secondary of the gem is what it will proc
its the element of the gem not the secondary stat
but the element of the gem decides the secondary stat doesnt it? 😄
Fire Gems = Crit Strike Chance
Earth Gems = Mastery
Air Gems = Haste
Frost Gems = Versatility
For the lariat that is
thats just how it work out so far if there was a fire gem that gave mastery vers it would still proc crit in laritat
but there isnt, since Fire always give Crit 🤔
Hi everyone! I wanted to ask for advise for today vault.
Today I got to choose between Diurna rare ring (seal of filial duty) and blazebidner hoof.
I just wanted to ask if frostfire belt if enough to proc the ring efficiently? I have only one spark which i wanted to spend on new mainhand.
Here the choice and my character
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/silvermoon/tempertsa
I fear that i will end up with less haste with new items
so?
and it will mess up with rotation - even now I feel that i have some problems with rage generation
wont mess up your rotation
how do you have 3 crafted items, but no weapon or shield 😮
418 ring, why
I have pretty good luck before I get to the concetrated primals
you can craft 418 shield and 418 wep
but tbh on that vault, Chest is good, Blazebinder is good, Ring is good
you can probably pick whichever and be fine
if you want to know specifically which one to take, you can sim compare it
and by chest i mean the 421 ofc
Thank you!
Just out of curiosity, are there any good builds that don't have devastator?
Ty in advance
Nope
Not really devastator is really strong atm
Rip
why would u not want devastator
like u dnt have the gcds to hit devastate
and devastate is worse than devastator anyway
I didn't say I don't want it, I just asked if there's a build without. I like devastator.
Hey guys, new here 🙂
A quick question cos i can't find an answer online. Am i better to take "into the fray" for m+ and gem for other stats beside haste (ITF gets me up to 33% haste currently), or better to take heavy repercussions and then gem haste? Thanks!
HR
so take HR and then just gem for haste and vers until i hit the 30%? haste cap
its not different but the 10% dr to the start doesnt mean anything
u still go for haste
ah i see, so its still great to 40% even though there is some DR?
yes
can we still block while rooted in the elemental trinket?
yes
cool
thanks Jakey 🙂
one last question, do you just stack vers with haste, or take some mastery and crit as well
not really u dont need vers at all
the top prots are running like 10% vers
because apart from haste secondaries dont matter at all
oh right, so just go for whatever gems is cheapest as long as it mainly has haste
well i would recommend haste crit but use what u want
Thanks so much 🙂
maybe i should really recraft my items with haste/crit instead of haste/vers
only socket
oh
424 has speed
ohhhh right
i mean socket is prob worth the 3 ilvl diff id say
id stick with what u got
i can add a socket to it later on tho?
if u give up a vault for it sure
eventually you'll get a vault with shit items anyway
Can u tell me pls a defensive rotation for 3rd boss at jade high keys
defstance pool rage to get at least 2 uses of ip after each hit for every
first i use sw spellreflect and the victory rush thing
second my dh mate taunts and immun it with meta
3rd again like first again
4th spellblock last stand heal pot demo shout
5th... pray thats over or combat rezz 😉
I mean its really not that hard
u have IV for every other strike
LS for one that u dont
HP pot for another 1
spell block covers 2 strikes
lets u get SW back
healer external
harder to get invited in a +2 than a +18 lol
It WRECKS.
Have to RNG hope your healer isn't sleeping.

you also want to take Defender’s Aegis over Impenetrable Wall in that instance (the double SW back to back is crazy good in here, not to mention that it also helps tremendously on the last trash pack as well)
for valor farm?
yeh
so i have a 421 incarn 415 decoration with avoidance on it and a 415 whetstone which 2 should i be using im stuck
shield wall
impending victory
decor is meh so not that
I;m talking about phase from 70 to 30? Does spell reflect help reducing dps?
yes
but the damage isnt the issue
its the absorb shield after
which is what need to be healed off u
which is why u use inpending victory
and LS and pot to help heal the sheild
Hello, what do you guys think:
421 weapon or should i take something else and keep my 418 weapon
that's a very nice weapon
what route are you guys doing in AV this week ?
which training would be best for a ruby whelp shell as tank?
ST
you could do SW + SR + IV > spell block + Demo > spell block + SR + IV > SW if its ready otherwise LS + health pot > SR + IV + Demo
Playing Defenders Aegis is practically useless
That way you yourself can cover for 5 strikes
RLP Second boss is a bleed or magic debuff? because spellwarding works against it somehow..?
bleed
how come spellwarding works then?
U sure it does?
pretty sure
And it's not bop that works?
he used spellwarding
The prot pally?
yes
Sounds like spaghetti
yum
magic effect that applies a bleed maybe?
guys, how to survive flameheart, she is a real bitch for me
Kokia strikes her target 4 times over 3 sec, inflicting 100% weapon damage and applying Searing Wounds with each strike. In the NPC Abilities category.

weridge
ruby or crit/vers ring with socket
do u guys rate the crafted belt, without the ring?
trying to figure out what to use for my last crafted piece
Still decent, same as the rest of the embels
Just has the benefit of being the major way to proc the ring
I'd not use a non-haste ring that isn't eragon ring
cheers, picked the ruby trinket had all points in the aoe and am now training it for single target but I have a spiteful storm with leech on it (heroic) so not sure this whlp trinket is even worth equipping
fuck should've picked socket then
poggers MDI 23 in 2 days
imo defenders aegis is better for last pack tho
do you mean thunderlords?
yes
ah, i didn't say anything but i had looked it up in talents a few minutes ago to make sure we were discussing same thing
even in mythic +, i am not generally heavily using relying on thunderlords
i've used it for a few keys around or below 15s to test thats about it
Prob just parried. Have a log?
spell warding is over powered as balls
probably? its sub 1%
for last pack, sure, but thats 1 pull in the entire key
and a trash pull at that
not even a boss
so what ?

its been working for my HOV's when im not inting
8sec Sw aint gonna change that
if both talents are equal on 3rd boss why not take it
if the pull doesnt die in 40seconds youll have to kite anyway
it's literally 8 more sec of facetanking
i don't see how this is an argument to saying it's worse
you can still press SW on the rest of the dungeon
but youll generate alot less rage
and if you are struggling the rest of the dungeon you are not gonna finish last pack alive
and have less overall SW uses
pug tyranical RLP final boss pull is a heartbreaker
3 seconds into fight, dragon breath fire, 2 dps dead instantly
Hello, kinda new to prot warrior, used to play fury/arms in high end content tho. I remember there was a spreadsheet about spell reflection, anyone here have any idea?
its not detrimental to run, but im not a fan of generating ~1200-1400 less rage in a key just to press SW in a pack that youll inevitably have to kite if you dont blow it up instantly
Tyvm
Hi Fellow Warriors,
anyone got an idea if there are some offtier-pieces that are worth transforming in the catalyst? thanks in advance
all of them for the transmog 
i still think im gunna have to lvl dk for that ice helm heroic with the blue horns
cant find good "ice legs", in pure white as well, this is new item of yogi ultimate desire due to transmog is this dk helmet, shame the heroic legs are blue as well
seems like a decent tradeoff doesnt it
thats actually super sexy
almost making me consider aiming for a belt from vault
and swap from belt+fire ring
to haste belt + haste ring
just cuz its fun
proud owner of food belt, frostfire belt and heroic belt after catalyst and valoring it
thoughts on that one? a bit specific as i have a weird cloak anyway
problem is chances are slim that ill get a better one than 418 😄
Sim it. Might be that a 415 is better
on the topic of siming now that you brought that up :
is there any good way of siming for tanking anyway? im sorry if thats a stupid question thats been answered for a million times already im fairly new to the game
go for self recraft nodes i guess? i gotta recraft boots and belt, probably wrist
defensively you dont rly need to sim
just follow the simple prio list of "ilvl >> haste > crit=vers > mastery"
if you follow that, youre literally golden
cant go wrong with that
thanks a bunch mate really appreciate it
all stats are good, you only wanna prio haste regarding secondaries, you dont want to avoid any particular stat
having 0 mastery on your gear will also be quite shit
think im on a decent spread it think
which is why its good that gloves and helmet provide a bit of mastery to have atleast a bit of a chance to critblock
literally an spread is fine
unless haste is below 10%
then you had the worst luck in the game
😄
but with crafting existing, you can guarantee a decent chunk of haste on your gear
why use engi helm when our set helm has haste already and you could just run bracers for tinker
does not comput
its like 900 haste on helmet or some shit
ah hm
900 haste you say..... and its crafted

im always kinda pu off the fact that although i have a shitton of vers its only 16% took me a while to figure out that it scales a bit different
vers requires 12% more stat investment to get 1%
^
yeah thats what i figured after the first few weeks when i kept stacking and it didnt go up 😄
and you just have 0 baseline ontop of that
Yo fellow warriors - quick question, do you reflect Conductive strike (dot) or thunder strike in Nokhud on last boss? Spreadsheet is a bit hard to understand (maybe I'm stupid I guess)
Conductive every time
never reflect the Thunder Strike, even if you desync
save it for next Conductive
if you reflect Conductive, the Thunder Strike does 0 dmg
and Conductive puts a dot on the boss, which TRUCKS for massive dam
i put all my points into armor so far plan is to finish it, or get the most impactful ones here finished
Hammer Control helps a lot in crafting armor
Ahh I see, was a bit confused about if the 500% affected balakar if reflected - tyvm 😄
not sure what you mean?
Conductive strike makes you take 500% damage from thundering strike - so I thought if you took the dot and reflected the thunder strike, that would make the biggest damage, but I guess the reflect comes first before the dot effect
no
But makes sense now to just block the conductive 🙂
you would have to reflect the Conductive + Thunder
and u cant
also your healer will dispell Conductive if you take it
potentially if you have 2 Warrior Tanks
1 reflect the Conductive, the other Taunt and reflect the Thunder 😄
that would be hella fun tbh, but havent tried it yet
Just for the big brain of it, I wonder if you could do it with an Arms warrior
Hey man always time for shenanigans :p
true
just taunt + Reflect
yeah
and have the tank taunt back hahaha
i reflect when i play dps
have two bracers, the goldsteel bindings haste/vers, one has extra stat of leech, the other a prismatic socket, is one "better" than the other or just preference? do i go leech cos i will eventually be able to socket it from vault tokens?
saw some tripple warrior groups doing that stuff in nokhud, storm guy and last boss reflect gaming
hey guys, getting into prot warrior for keys and I was just wondering why almost all the top prot warriors take heavy repercussions over into the fray, isnt all that haste worth it?
Bcs you don’t want to have any sb gaps
ITF stacks aren't consistent in m+ and like Hamyngway said, SB will have gaps
I see
Should I recraft this wrist eventually?
Are there any weird interactions with the heal absorb from 3rd boss in TJS and Last Stand? Does LS before it hits increase the heal absorb or is the heal absorb a static amount no matter what your health is? If I have 20k left in the heal absorb, does LS clear it, or just give a health buffer below the remaining absorb?
gets consumed before IP, its eh.
you LS after because LS counts as a heal.
That Seal of Filal Duty is 10 I levels higher with a socket though
and therefore removes the absorb 🙂
compared to the other two
Thank you!
you gonna want to sim, but my gut tells me that you will use that Seal of Filal Duty cause it has just more stats then either of the other rings (with a socket). You gonna want frostfire to proc Seal, and if you run that might as well use Durina ring for the fireball proc. Then, assuming you have lariat, you sort of forced to use the Primal Molten Bracers
but thats just me
But it also seems like you are a fury main, so your chosen gems and enchants arent da best, so have to take that into consideration
are the crafted bracers worth more than the belt (without ring). seems decent having haste crit and vers. for keys
eh, prob the same; just sim it to see
Is there any merit in using the Signet of Melandrus?
yea, its really good
but sort of loses value when you got Mythic raid rings and frostfire
bloodborne better than tough as nails on single target?
cause those are also really good
For sure yeah, makes sense
I only have Frostfire and Seal on heroic, but its still pretty damn decent dmg
I would replace a 418 Seal with a 415 Melandrus ring personally
but if you have a 431 Seal, the math sort of changes; nothing in the game really beats that
at least until the 10.0.7 rings
and then thats a whole other thing we can think about
ahh yeah. i dont enjoy raiding and only really do keys with the boys, so seems like bracers are the go for now. can always rng a spark from m+ and make the belt eventually if i do get the ring
yea, gotta determine based on what you got access to
For me, if you looking at a 418 Seal and you wont be getting the Mythic version of either raid ring, frostfire doesnt seem as attractive to me (though its still really good on its own)
how much dps does it do on its own? if it's a decent amount could be worth making it
just for fun
all embellishments are roughly the same
youll get about the same value from that as the vers bracers (only a sim will tell you for certain though)
ah yeah. bracers just seem like a slap on and forget, then i can get the haste waist from catalyst
yea, whatever works for you
if you not looking to proc raid rings, then frostfire is not mandatory, so you can choose what you like
what are the rings that get coming out in 10.0.7?
