Isn't it like 380 vs 650% diff on 20 vs 24?
But on 20's it should be w/e.
A healer can carry that one alone.
you're having to tell your rogue to press feint it's a free dr
but not the average pug healer for 20s i would say
Imagine having to micromanage your DPS players / healers so they can do their job.

"Okay rogue, now press X".
telling them to press other stuff i understand but feint is not the one i'd expect
Tank got a lead ----> lead their lives
I hate people not putting effort into learning their classes/abilities.
cloak maybe
feint is OP. 40% aoe DR on close to 0 cd
I hate when guilds extended for no reason 
dps are dumb af
And only good rogues bait literally every Fenryr leap with Vanish.
I know, i'm saying why would someone not hit feint


Same.
i mean they cannot any longr unless they are outlaw
Everyone's a Outlaw.
lmao
nobody plays outlaw anymore because they all see high key rogues playing sub
and they obviously have to play what jpc plays
maybe im trolling but i havent seen an outlaw for weeks
Maybe on high-end keys they know how to decide spec based on needs and not just FoTM ^^ idk
JHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
HAHAHAHAHA.
Nice one.
xD
on <=22 it's sub all the way for me :v
Here's a 24 i did yesterday.
SBG, arguably a lot of feintable damage
.He used it 4 times.
yep
thats what i mean
clowning
in RLP on all the elementals rogues dont feint
and make my life miserable as heal
1st and 3rd boss u should feint on cd pretty much I'd say
But my rog is 385 ilvl tho so not gonna trashtalk them
im surprised he lives horn of valor without feint
imagine using boon more often than feint
disgusting
being dead is even less dmg
feint is kinda w/e. I'm more concerned about only 4 crimson phials on a 24 ^^
and 2 kidneys
He's gotta pump, bro
Wdym, 1 on each boss + 1 for style points, surely thats enough

20s cd 6s stun. All the trash tankbusters can be stopped on sbg ^^
That said, it's almost 15k dispatch on the other hand ^^

Hello! I have question about IP, what is its's cap? e.g. when I cast IP for full rage, will it always cap?
Does my taltens and 4 tier bonus add it up?
Think it's like 30% of max health, right?
So the IP shield can only be 30% of max health?
it's more
Can it be more then 30% of your max hp if you cast IP?
It is 30% of your current Max hp
ignoring 50% of damage taken, up to [(0 + Attack power * 3.5) * (1 + Versatility)] total damage prevented. The Tool tip says "Up to" so I thought it was up to max cap?
I've had it at 194k and I definitely don't have like 600k max hp
So it can stack?
LS, rally priest buff etc All increase the cap
ye. I spoke bullshit. It's up to 30%
The cap is 30% of your HP.
Huh, maybe I misread it then, or I had a hp buff
So if I cast IP and it' only have 15% of mt max hp, then cast it again? I will cap it?
The thing that infuriates me more than anything in raiding is people not using pots/healthstones and proceed to die from ticking damage
If you use Bolster/Rallying or whatever else it will increase the cap.
If you don't let it drop after the Bolster/Rallying ends then it will keep the increased cap until IP is fully absorbed.
It might, yes.
Don't worry about capping IP.
It's a non topic.
Don't even think about it.
I just want to understand how it works

Becasue my friend says from the logs I use IP a lot less then other top prot WArrios
Because you should press it even when you're going to overcap it
Rage too high? press IP
It's an off GCD rage dump
Yes, it's good.
If playing well, you press it a lot without any regard as to whether it's up or not
or if you'll cap or whatever
It's not 15% and 15% per cast.
IP has a formula which calculates how big of a IP cast you get.
It's just that IP can't go higher than 30% of your max HP.
I have just used Revanege as rage dumper and didnt feel I need to do more with.
Any rage that is lost to overcap is lost:
Outburst rage
CD reduction from Anger Management
Indom healing
Yes
"55% of any particular damage event"
If you’re actively tanking with cds rolling you’ll have way way way too much rage to just revenge it away
Also if you’re using revenge you’re not using shield slam
Or thunderclap
Get logs of your key and see how much ragewaste u have. I though aswell that revenge is enough not to overcap. Boi was I wrong
How do I see rage waste?
warcraftlogs only
I've logged all my shit
details cant show that
Just dunno where to find it
resources - > rage
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/MJA7ZdQta1wGmvnN#fight=last&type=casts&source=4 Here is my logs. I ask feedback before and I see I use Revenge a lot
if I'm wasting like less than 5% of my total gain that's not bad yeah?
yes
Less than 1% is good
SS->TC and then Revenge.
Your priority is wrong.
less then 1% is god. U mispelled
Not Hard really, but its ideal
😏
You wasted 1100 rage alone on SS casts
so 1100 rage you gained from SS
just out the window
I agree, I can see it now. I need to use IP often then I do
Holy fuck that's a lot of rage wasted 😟
Start with the basics..your rotational priority is all wrong.
- 2.5k on top of that. that.s 3.6k rage that could go into anger management
It should be SS->TC and only then Rage spenders like IP/Revenge.
Your overall CPM is 45.2, and when doing the rotation properly you should be at around 60, so
I cap to often so I try to rage dump with revenage but I should just use IP and SS more
I'd recommend heading to a dummy and working on the muscle memory for the base rotation and priority
Damn I actually waste a lot of rage
@ionic fern, about prio. Is that 'allowed' when out of rava/roar to prio rev/tc at the start of the pull in other to get some threat? Or blame dps for not letting me get threat
are you talking aoe?
ye
I mean if you need threat then you need threat
I mean
You gotta get threat somehow
Threat is more important than damage
AA treetrash pull for example
thunderclap into shield charge
That's more important than your DPS ever, since it's why you even exist
I like going vexa->bird->tree
Thanks for the feedback, I see what I can improve with my roatiron now.
usually should be more threat than you would need
and sometimes I'm dry af after bird
you also surely have aoe taunt up after bird
In that case I prio revenge over SS proc if possible just to get any threat. Wondering if there's some better/easier way
The only time you can really blame DPS for pulling threat is if they're popping all CDs and ST'ing the ever living shit out of a non-prio, no damage, minimal concern ass mob
ofc, but playing with ranged's I dont always hit all mobs with aoe
For example if flies 'agitate' to china
You should already have established threat by the time they agitate
they only do that after like 5-10 seconds
Ye, so before that I'm revenge spamming. That's what was the question about. Once I'm 20s into a pull I'm flooded with rage/threat 😄
dont forget AoE tuant, its very useful 
You don't need to revenge spam. Like you run in, you TC, you demo, you shield charge, nothing should come off you at that point really unless you just stop pressing buttons
also once rend is applied you can roar, if they don't let it come into melee that's a different problem
but if the mobs get to you, you should have no aggro issues
It's no rava/no roar scenario
ahh
once in rava/roar it's like impossible to loose threat
also you probably have avatar tho
One of your main goals as a tank is to keep aggro.
You do what you need to depending on the situation.
No CD's?
-Charge into TC into Revenge into SS
-AoE taunt
-ST taunt - Leap - ST taunt
-Shockwave at the beginning if needed
which is tc every other global
Got plenty of tools to deal with it.
Ye, I do that. Was just wondering about SS > TC > everything else prio if that got it's usage in that situations
No, that's just a generic rotation to follow since our whole spec is based on generating/using Rage.
After you have established initial threat in such a scenario you can continue with the "normal" rotation.
Sometimes I get so dried up on rage and everything refuses to proc anything
literally dunno what to do in that situation
might start leap charging
I mean clearly I pressed IP one too many times or something
leapcharge is good if position/frontals aren't a threat
sw? shield wall?
shockwave
if you have wall u dont need to leap for ragegen I'd say 😄
Yknow I gotta be honest. DF prot is my favorite iteration or prot. Tuning aside, to me it feels like butter to play.
spell block filled everything I lacked in SL
So nice
would like to have beserk rage back baseline...
what should my uptime on shield block be roughly?
ive been keeping it up a lot
like a loooot
How do you guys open in Multitarget Scenarios in m+ when you have everything up? I feel like i m doing a lot less dps than other Tanks not even in dungeon also in raid. Our blood dk tank outdpses me like in most of the Fights...
Uff kk
Please dont be Harsh xD
Just filled in tank slot like first/second mythic raid as a tank
Im at work i cant look
"blood dk, outdps" Hmm sounds kinda sus ngl

@strong flax what stance are you in?
@strong flax you have a bit of wasted rage, and you have LOOOOONG periods where you dont press Revenge, like 1min where you dont press Revenge
you need to keep uptime of your 2set for 5% dmg
Terros
Kk
Yeah you're basically just not pressing Revenge nearly enough
IP is a rage dump primarily, not something you spam
and swap Endurance Training + Barbaric Training
just get a WA for tracking Vanguards Determination
as long as u press it ever 3 globals ur good for 2set
ur TC usage could be a bit higher also
not too bad, you have 74% usage of TC according to wowanalyzer
mostly you seem to be wasting rage when you Demo Shout
Please dont use analyser its out of date and not maintained
so just pop an IP before you demo shout, if you are going to overcap
even the TC/SS usage?
y thx 4 your help i will later get a wa for 2p set
I'm surprised anyone even knows what wowanalyzer is anymore. It literally has been useless for like 2 expansions.
i know its out of date, which is why i only take few things from it
All of it if its out of date its likely to not work correctly
we try to use it in our pepega guild, cus it makes it way easier for people to understand what they fuck up
no one knows what logs mean
um is there an issue with Electrified Jaws on Heroic Ras - hitting twice if you spell block one earlier?
Is there any reliable way to move centaur archers from the beginning of nokhud?
Yeah but if it's not maintained then you have no idea if it's giving you correct information
No
DK grip
😄
or idk if that even works lul
THIS
Not that i know of
sad
i used it a lot to tell my guildies they are shit on classes where i have no clue about the rotation
IT wasn't last expansion.
It was well maintained.
For Prot.
I just meant in general, not necessarily for prot
It was unmaintained for the majority of specs in shadowlands
Ah,okay.
if you look at your guildmates cd usage you can probably find their low dps there
15 specs up to date
that's the issue like 75% of the time lol
how do i see CD usage in % though?
like i can see CPM, but i usually dont know how much its supposed to be at
is % visible in logs?
oh you just go to buffs and look per class
15/38 up to date specs on WowAnalyzer 😄
what do you mean in %
thats without counting the 10.0.0
Well yeah you wouldn't count 10.0.0 that's prepatch
like if a person uses his CD every time, he would get 100%
if he delays for 1min every 1min CD, he would get 50%
fx idk how high CPM a fire mage should have of combust 🤷♂️
Fight Length / Spell CD = maximum uses
what about spells with reduction?
like Icy Veins?
Compare with better players or make THEM ask in their class discord what their uptime should look like
You shouldn't have to spoon feed it to them. Make them work at it themselves.
but if i wasnt playing Prot Warr how would i check that?
90% of my guild dont like using discord for anything other than the guild discord
Compare with someone better
Tough shit
No offense to you
But like...put forth some fucking effort
so i should compare their parse to like top10 logs?
Sure
😄
nah
Are they raiding normal or something
HC prog
I generally go to the top logs and then go down until I find a similar kill time
And then compare
ah thats good actually
when looking at logs I look for similar kill times between top and then like 50-100 lower than that
it depends on the class/boss/how early in a tier tho
yep we got hard stuck at Rasz monday
now he got reduced 5% hp 😄
Yeah like...idk man. It's not your job to hold their hand tbh
They gotta do shit for themselves
checked our Havoc DH talents, and told her to swap talents, which was instant 25% dmg increase 😄
went from simming 38k to 48k
See like that shit is just
...
That's MINIMUM effort to make sure you playing the correct fucking build
you're*
ah wais no i mean from 45k to 58k
🤷♂️
some people log for just raid and herbing
Then find a guild that doesn't give a fuck about progging idk. I have no tolerance or patience for people like that
But more power to you I guess
ye im playing this game for mainly M+
so idc too much about Raid
I will answer questions all day long if you're making an effort but fuck you if you're expecting me to hand everything to you
cant find a guild with proper raid times for me on my cluster anyway
warcraftlogs shows top percentage talents for specific bosses and specific classes
where?
i usually use subcreation for that
the feeling of beating HC with a bunch of shitters just outshines beating it in a pug 😄
Click where it says show more at the top on the talent tree
ahh thx
My friends guild couldn't even clear normal and no one wants to improve
It's really weird, what's the fun in wiping on normal for 3 hours?
its not
There is 0 fun to be had
i mean if he's okay with that who cares
our HC prog was really delayed because people had hard time in normal as well
and people gain 0 gear outside of raid
if he's upset about it, it's super easy to find another one
like im 415 on main...
The life of a casual guild member I guess lol
and still didnt kill Rasz 😄
I'm 414.5 and I haven't stepped foot in LFR even
did you just never finish your raszageth quest
There's a quest? 😂
Pugged HC, wasn't too bad. Tbh normal raz was worse lmao
yeah it gave a free 405 upgrade
Oh, nope
at the time it was pretty relevant/still good for new alts
Pugging is just a lottery for raids and guilds are either good enough to clear it or they never will (unless they're willing to boot people)
😄
im out for the next 2 weeks of prog anyway
so ill skip on all the rough Rasz prog 🤣
then hopefully be back in for the kill
MAYBE they'll have killed her already by the time you get back
hahahaha
doubt it 😉
You can be there for the re-prog 😏
how u get to raszageth then
we usually do the mount quest on normal week after end boss dies on HC
I know i'm joking
M+ is so much more fun than raiding lmao
100%
gonna start selling mythic broodkeeper skip to guilds 💰
Maybe I'll start my own guild
how long does it make sense to hold ravager thunderous roar for avatar/demo shout to be up? (Lets say single target and not needed for any specific scenario like picking up adds) or do i always press it on cd?
never hold
Tho being an officer was bad enough in legion fuck that
SEEEEEEEND
think only reason to hold would be is if the boss would die before you get another use
7/15 of my raid team is still below 400 ilvl
That'd be fine for hc.. if they were good players
ye only few of them are
few are good, few are decent
then rest
😄
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/ZjMKVmnv6awYJNbR/
the log from reclear if you wanna have a looksie
ended on a 0.3% wipe on broodkeeper 🤣
idk looking at %'s for your guild won't really do much
being in a worse guild helps with parsing for a few bosses and then involving kill times
mostly you can tell who's good and bad with who dies all the time and can do mechanics, and that's usually enough for heroic
ye people die to dumb shit all the time
idk if they play with only mouse of some shit
like we have 1-3 good dps, 1 good tank, 1 good healer
rest is kinda eh
im not in this raid 😄
oh
im not the pwar 😄
the warrior used eye in the storm flask
he did pretty well
cus he didnt like BRM
at least in a "pressed buttons" way
the bar is pretty low tho, using d stance as a defensive and then swapping back is better than like 80% of heroic logs i've seen
if he did this im very proud haha
nice
gave him the Stance macro
and told him to remove his WA that "screams at me when im not in Dstance" 😄
hahahaha
if i hadnt told him that he would have been Dstance 100%
he did try and use dragon games on the pull and then either forgot about it or decided fuck it which tbh same
he didnt walk over the balls? 😄
but ye fuck that trinket anyway
i think hes gonna replace it fast
idk i just saw he used it once
in rasz he has Decoration of Flame + All Totem
might actually be better for him to just All Totem + Incarnate Icon (LFR)
decoration of flame is kinda juice for the intermission
ye but i dont suspect hes gonna use it there
probably gonna waste it right before intermission
and incarnate icon is huge on a tank
gives ton of stats for everyone else who has icon
Hey folks, what are rotational defensives in TJS 3rd boss? Our (prot warr) tank claims nothing affects healing absorb, so defensive CDs don't matter and if he dies (he does) it's healer's fault. Is it true?

Nice! Thanks
you use Defensive to reduce the initial hit, and heals to help with the Absorb
IV + LS + Health Pot can help
"defensive cd' s don't matter "
Kek
what lvl key btw?
+20
nah
is what i usually do in my pugs
just when you're out of shit
🙏
yeah, we have to explicitly hold cds for that phase instead of pull to go through it, otherwise he's getting toasted on like 3rd hit
but ye you have 2x Wall, Spell Block, Spell Reflect, Defensive Stance, Impending Victory and Last Stand
he is noob then
tbh
well, he's main dps specced right until this patch, so just inexperienced
after 4 it get dicey
and healer CD can save 1
It's at 5th that you need to rethink your life 
5th can be healer external
you need to rethink your dps comp on 5th
Aye, that
hahaha
i had Evoker do Time Dilation on me on the hit, and it just made it worse 🤣
honestly holding cds for the phase isn't a terrible thing either
at least depending on the cd
our healer is a pala, don't they have this magic immune thing or is it only for prots?
prot only
if you're like dh boomkin some other 3m and all juice the first phase and then have 2 minutes in p2 it's gonna suck
he can sac though
"Hold CD's for second phase".
idk if that does giga help, but it can do a little

yeah, but he claims when out of wings he can't top the absorb
loh?
I (ww monk) have to stand inside warrior for +8% healing boost and that actually kinda helped
u have to spam the tank and prot is probably the worst tank to do so
or they rotated better on 4th pull, idk
can you spell block the absorb amount?
i'm not sure if it reduces the absorb amount
you can block the hit
but it reduces the initial hit by so much that you're not in danger
which helps a lot
nice! thanks folks
check the Spell Block/reflect sheet in 
spell block mandatory
only thing i fucking hate is the waves just coming out at random directions
i cant seem to figure out the pattern
wouldn't it be safe to just stay dstance the whole time? 10% of tank single target dmg is not a lot?
they lose out on more damage than it's worth
killing the boss quicker means less damage
i just do DStance for entire P2 usually
yep, that's what I thought!
nah just juggle it like a chad
depends how comfy you are
ye this is the endgoal
he should be stance dancing hits that are scary
I mean it's +20, he should be able to stance switch
only time you don't is if you won't be able to afford the global mid encounter
Incarnate Icon works on entire raid right?
whoever has it, yea
so 382 Incarnate Icon + 402 Decoration of Flame + 408 All-Totem...
How many people in grp would need to have Incarnate Icon for it to be better?
in a raid?
yes
it depends better for you or them
better for the raid
if DPS has HC version, and tank has LFR version, does the proc still give full benefit for the DPS?
ye
ah cool cool
ill tell him to fuck off with that Decoration of Flame then 😄
be our buff bitch
the low ilvl one?
i meant the prot warr from the log
yes
i didn't look at his survivability at all
if he needs it to live it might be a bad idea >.>
shouldnt help that much
and he can just SW
dont think he used SW that much anyway 😄
also he got loot funneled hard, he is 396 now 😄
and i upgraded his shield to 405
I think when I geared my warrior I went from fresh to like 412 in a week
with the Rasz infusion
Mythic raid?
I ran an ungodly amount of dungeons though
yeah that and like 50-70 dungeons that week
2 weeks for me, but yea. It's doable
it was early in tier
we full geared a prevoker to 416 in a week of mythic and 50 16+'s
we needed 2 for rasz so it was the only option
my 3rd 421 vault and its 3x sidegrades :<
I'm stuck on 415 aswell as I'm not stepping into raid. Might get to 417 with uncap valor tho. Aaaaand waiting for sick vault
uncapped valor would have helped with the whetstone grind
Welp...
Though I got CoS AA ring with avoidance
and already looted like 6 of them ^^
I kept inviting random guildies online and queuing as a 4 stack into CoS keys
they almost called the guild HR rep on me
dafuq. what corpo guild are you in that u got HR rep
i'm kidding
I wouldn't be surprised tho kek
but we do pretend we have a union rep calling for breaks if we go over our usual break time in raid
i did 70 COS runs before i got mine 🙂
I'll stick with my random centaur proc and horn of valor than ^^
hahahaa
check mine 😉
Maybe if I didn't hate CoS more than bolstering NO I could do like 2 of CoS in a row
i cant fit it into a screenshot 😄
COS is so easy now though
i love that place after doing it 70 times
I still hate it ^^
fellow jailmate
someone forgets to click beacon
wipe on 2nd boss tyran? Check
Shitty enfo spawn and random bodypull? Check
like holy shit
this is because you do it wrong then 😉
im pretty sure i have it down where random bodypull never happens
just run to the outside
that's what i mean
cus he doesnt spawn the same time twice
like near the water
I'm pretty sure he did twice to me
not the same place
he definitely can spawn in the same place
you probably took the right enforcer, and pulled it into the left one
90% sure it cannot spawn on the same place
people just like to pull that one back
Might be wrong, as I hate that dung and don't run it a lot, hence my knowledge but I'm pretty sure it was back to back left
on top of the other spawnpoint
it can spawn in the same spot 100%
the problem is these 2
Anyway, even if that's right -> left and u dont kill 3mob patrol in front of a boss orb/bridge u dont have a lot of spot to wiggle
Indeed it can.
but if you just fight the mini boss where the imp spawn is you'll never catch a spawn
It's tight not to pull
and you're also in a position to head to the other side if need be
would love if people had a video on youtube or some shit
i dont have it happen when i tnak
but i did the dungeon on my shaman
and tank had it happen to him
cus he pulled the enforcer back
on top of the other spawn point
yea, rn it's word vs word. That's why I assume I might be wrong. I did less CoSs whole season than you did in 1 day kek
I'll check that next CoS I do. Probably next week 
i usually pull #4 back into the corner behind the book
then i never have any spawn issue
since im 90% sure #4 doesnt spawn after #4
and #3 after #3
btw @craggy pilot as u're COS veteran. How worth is gateskip in pug scenario if any?
never did it
so idk
i usually dont even do harbor, unless the % lines up after 1st boss
it's fine if you're accounting for it
I've run 23 yday and had only 1:15 undertime iirc
might be too tight on 24
So thinking about some timesavers
my route looks something like this (89.5%)
because then you could do a docks pull while waiting
highest i did was +21 though
ye, that's the only save I can think of tbh as u loose dps anyway and it's longer
oh wait no +20
Pulling it there also always for a brief stop to pet the kitties
kitties? 🤔
ye, my favourite:
ZUGZUG
Did you never look into the room there?
4 purple kitties that are interactable
people called me troll the other day in +20 because i didnt pull harbor
he wanted to do rogue shroud pull to harbor 😄
felt giga troll
cus if we fuck it up, its GG KEY
Nah doesn’t matter
Tho pull 6 is dogshit imho
ye but he wanted to do it with shroud 🤣
Harbor is Easy and big %
i just do it while rogue does pillar+poison
good on forti weeks
if you're not used to the pull don't ever do it
You shourd there for bl on start
And full cds
Instead of wasting it on the first pack
ah so then you go back to the sentry?
Yea
i just dont rly like doing harbor early, cus i dont know how much pug will butpull
You can
ye, but the mobs are much harder to kill. And u actually need to coord interrupts. I'd rather kill inqui + succub while killing enfo (above pull 11 on your screen)
Or you just take it on the boss, doesn’t matter much
and if Enforcers are unlucky in last area, we get 120%
just makes the boss way safer
have had pugs pull patrols on both sides during 1st boss
never overcapped on % with harb yet, but I get bodypulls
bruh. are they 2k?
depends how lucky you are with enforcers + items
Instead of pull 6 I would suggest to pull the manayrms behind the boss to the sentinel
nah, i had it back when i was pushing 14-16
and just incorporated it into my route 😄
so 2k
and never changed it since COS is just easy anyway
I pull boss back to the bridge so they dont bodypull
Same mistakes happen to my groups at 2800 compared to 1800. ;_;
mana wyrms die melee run in to check out the swirl
timed AA22 yday with 2.8k dudes whilst failing that 3 times in a row with 3ks
shiny swirly is shiny I suppose
shiny blue stuff on the ground
must stand for dmg increase
if not red -> stand in it
also i have no idea what it is
but prevokers can cleanse the first 3 bleeds on crawth
it's called balance TM
it also fucks with cd trackers lmao
so first one you Stasis + Cauterising Flame
2nd one you pop the Stasis
3rd one you Cauterizing Flame again
Doubt that it worth to use at the start of the pull tho. U're floded with rage due to rava and can just spam IP and outheal it solo.
Though I've never did AA with evoker so I might spit bullshit
think he skipped the first
AA with evoker is straight cheat
ye just wall the first one
so your wall can come back for 5th one 😄
idk if I had ravager for pull
that boss fucking slaps on Tyra though
even if not, there's not a lot of grouphealing at the pull anyway so healboi can just snipe you
think I used it on the 2 bird pack beforehand so it would be up for boss burn
but yeah you right
it's only post winds that it gets real sketch
I'm usually at 30-35k hps at this boss and it's still a struggle. And on every bleed I have 'something' either demo or wall or hugeass ragepull for IP
ye i ended up sitting almost perma Dstance
since if you swap in and out when bleed, its like no time in BStance anyway
but u can SW -> IV -> LS
and Spell Reflect every screech
I switch to dstance after fireburn and stay in this till end. I'm a pussy tank
think for one of them I just grabbed the haste buff popped avatar and prayed
Ye, I get defensives rotation there. It's just compared to any other boss it's a struggle. U have to 'think' in order to live 
I've been taking immovable object instead of unstoppable force simply for the extra shield wall with avatar and then use avatar 100% defensively on bosses like that... Bird boss in AA, Vexamus, 3rd in TJS, etc... It feels so much safer on Tyr weeks even though it's only 4 seconds of shield wall
sounds a bit over the top 🤔
if you feel you lack wall, you can just go Double Wall talent
I'll check it out and try it. It's definitely a safer play for sure, even on trash. I don't feel strongly either way about either of those talents at the bottom left of our class tree when prot... Kind of wish it was the same as fury/arms anyway. "Drop ravager when you avatar and vice versa" would have been so much more better.
what lvl do you go with Immovable Object?
Any tips for the 3rd boss in TJS?

ait
if you're lacking shield wall on crawth or blazehoof with impen wall, you're doing something wrong in your rotation
Key level? 18 Tyr was when I started doing it for a safety net in TJS especially
Had issues with my IRL friend healing through Jade serpent strike. I also now talent shield block specifically for that fight
Spell block
everyone talents Spell Block for TJS
thats not out of the ordinary
but Immovable Object is not really used
I know, it's definitely not popular, but the aoe pulls there are small so I don't feel like I'm missing out a lot on tclap damage. It's definitely a choice not everyone will make
It's a bad choice is why
AOE pulls are small in AA????
did i hear that correct?
like bro what
Small in TJS. In AA, yeah definitely missing out on a lot more there lol
wait so you use Immovable Object in TJS also?
you must be losing out on a ton of rage
Yeah, my bad, I was mostly talking about TJS the whole time. It's just a really safe pick with that 3rd boss on Tyr weeks
It's not a safe pick, I don't know how else to explain this to you
It's bad
Just plain awful
If you're that insistent on double SW on TJS, which is fair, use def aegis
Turning avatar into a worse SW is just nonsensical
Random question, tokens of merit from vault is it a set amount or based on how many slots you unlock?
2 per slot up to a cap of 6 per vault
Immovable Object is 1% less dps in ST, and 3% in AOE
not speaking of the rage value you lose
And doesnt matter where those slots come from so can get 1 from raid 2 from m+ and still get 6? Usually i max vault fully so never thought about it but dont have a lot if time this week
having to use sw on cd for dps tho
doesn't matter
oh does the Sim do that actually? 😄
Cool thanks
probably
Yes
The sim will use avatar on CD, which is what you'd do for max DPS
That too
ah, so if using SW like normal, it would be even more DPS loss
why only when avatar isn't up
it should add duration no?
Hey guys, Im running the two proc raid rings from VotI normal, but I got a signet of dancing jade pop from the vault. Is the ilvl difference worth the loss of one of the procs?
aaah
lol
If you just extend it, it doesn't grant the rage
isnt it only 10?
Avatar?
yes
Idk haven't really checked in a while
mine is saying 10 at least 🤔
Then it's 10 ye
got confused if im missing some talent 😄
thinking about moving away from frostfire belt,is there a better option for mythic plus?
i have lariat and i only have 408 1st boss fire ring(wanted to get the set belt for haste)
i use the Molten belt
hey all! I was wondering if there is a macro that can make a switch between battle stance and defensive stance? so you only press one key and then it switches between the two
yes
care to link it? 🙂
cheers - thanks mate
👍
set belt? 🤔
catalyst belt,the one with the haste from catalyst thingy
Belt isnt a tier piece
y but you know what i mean
Frostfire belt is bis if you have the ring tho, so idk Why you wanna swap
even in mythic pluis?
Yes
It's silly that the proc rings etc all outparse stuff 20 ilvl higher
It’s a cheap ploy to boost raid participation numbers
Always has been
It was peak awful with domination sockets
I can’t imagine being a hunter this tier who just wants to do m+ but knowing there’s that bow out there lol
Worth to replace ilvl 415 Blazebinder's Hoof or 415 whetscar windstone for HC All-Totem of the Master?
Whetstone is busted I would say yes
But the real answer is sim
It’s had to know how much damage you get from the Hoof str bonus
It varies, but I'd say totem and hoof on fort weeks, totem and whet on tyran
You're just going to get more out of how hoof is statted in ae
Could you give more details about your thinking process? Is it just that STR will have more value on aoe and Whetsoke raw damage single target? It would make sense but I’m not sure
I hate my phone autocorrect
Whetstone splits damage, it's not bad ae but it's a st proc
The haste and str are going to boost your ae, and in trash pull your rage budget and apm are higher for giga stacks
It does a bit more damage when there is up to 5 targets (not much compared to baseline tho) but I get what you are saying
But totem is bis in basically all (most) situations
But I'm not big enough brain to say for how much ilvl you should drop for it
Do a 1 3 5 patchwerk sim
And see the comparison
If you're not going for giga pull you'll be fine just using whetstone in all situations
just mad how much damage whetstone does when you can buff it with thundering or other stuff, odyn comes to mind with rune buff
Wowhead guide says TC has a higher rotation priority than Shield Slam, is it really the case ?
You have UF avatar picked in the talents section
no.
aint bis in raid
oh ur talking m+ affix
nm
mouse clicking fingers are screwed
will be shot within 10 years completely i think
would like to add another question onto the one from Harbard. Is there some kind of thumbrule you guys follow for the prio of Shield Slam, Revenge, and TC? And also what about TC in avatar? SS - TC-SS - TC and spam ignore pain or should i use revenge in between for better dmg output?
i absolutel have to must get a dk and raise his IO to 1k and then use his valor for heroic helm
this is life mission
Shield slam almost always top prio
Biggest rage generator
More rage means more rage to spend
More rage spent means more CDs
SS TC rev, ip is off GCD and is used to avoid capping rage
and what about Revenge! procc? still TC over Rev?
Yeah
Build rage> not build rage
Infact the free rev proc actually lowers the value of that rev cast in the grand scheme of things
Because it doesn't cycle rage for am
am?
its not a problem, you can always dump rage with IP
Yeah I'm just saying in the overall view, it doesn't really matter but it is less rage spent in high budget situai
Anger management, the pillar that we stand upon
ah yeah, thank you
one last question: does only revenge procc my shield slam or are there other things that will procc it?
yes, if you have this talent
And when it says devastate it really means autos because you're using devastator
and if you're not using devastator talent, then its indeed devastate skill, but i dont even want to know how could somebody play with such build 
I have a question that I can’t find an answer to. I’m currently using Lariat and Fang Adornments on weapon. I just looted a Strike Twice. Does it count as an embellishment? If not, I was thinking of swapping to it and crafting the BS belt
Ahh okay i see, i fully understand now. Thank you very much for your time guys, u are awesome! 😄
Embellishment is from crafted gear
So no
does it have "unique-equipped embelishment (2)" on it? No, so its not 🙂
Makes sense. Thanks!
Does what I said make sense to do then?
I can’t see a downside
depends on ilvls you are changing and crafting
Got it
Can you show the number of attempts you've done that run on a boss in Details?
There we go

Wall is hard apparently
Two DPS died to the first wall
So not really tyrannical's fault
Is there a way to get timers for bosses in m+? like when conductive strike is coming on last boss of nok or just a bunch of things
Little wigs
DBM has a separate download for dungeon timers and warnings.
I would also recommend Spell Reflect Essentials as a weakaura: https://wago.io/tDT26wrXg
i am using little wigs and big wigs and for some reason it is just not working very well
it used to call out dark claw and now it doesn't
think i may need to try and redownload or something
What 2nd embellishment you guys using, I was using armor spikes but it looks like it got removed from the list of "good ones"
were there any issues when you was using it?
all the embels are roughly equal
armor spikes only loses a bit of value in raid when you arent tanking all the time
ahh so mythic plus its still probably worth it?
yeah
if it was fine week or two ago, why wouldnt it be now?
I assume when something is removed from a top 5 list, there was a reason.
idk what list youre looking at but nothing changed and the one you use is fine
Is thier a BIS spread sheet for prot ?
It loses value because things have to be hitting you for it to be valuable
In some instances packs barely hit you and so it loses a lot of value in that. (Caster packs)
Both the Icey veins and wowhead guide took it off there suggested list
no need to bother, changing it wont make much of a difference 😉
Embellishments suck
but I mean, better then nothing
must be my luckiest TW (was expecting a 389 legs to replace but got a 395 trinket)
Just follow the rules
Sim everything?
More or less, ilvl > haste etc...
str > haste > sim
Sooo currently my state sim says Crit>mast>vers>haste
Because stat sim sims dps and crit is big for dps
Mastery is weird tho
Although it might be explained if you have giga haste and no mastery
It's not weird
i have a shit ton of hste and vers maybe DR?
It’s not ‘bad’ but it’s the lowest stat prio
Like our priority is just a general guide, the values of all stats scale with each other
If im crafting a ring should I still keep haste on there?
Which is why we say ilvl > whatever
Sure, haste has the top defensive value
And in ae
aoe?
does that say you get it from first hunt of the week?
so like gotta be on right at reset?
no like the first one you do each week
he looks a little crusty
Sooo haste vers is a .6% dps loss for Haste crit.... I wish crit had a single survivability affix to it
It does
bonus heals?
It gives you parry % chance
oh i always forget that
It is very helpful
well ill go crit haste on my ring then. more zug zug
I also found out from my various simming that darkmoon deck dance and inferno would be a 3-4% DPS increase
Be careful it’s not pulling the best card only
Since nobody here recommends the darkmoon trinket
Unless you’ve got nothing better/more offensive
High five crit crew
Huzzah! It melds well into being arms for raid
prime target for transmog
im sure someone will make a transmog it has a certain look to it
I bet some bfa themed plate or leather will do the trick
probably hunter
Yup it's called a high mountain tauren standing in the bank entrance
looks like huntard mount
Hmm wtb valor cap being account wide
Because damnit I want to be able to spam +2 on my fresh 70 and then upgrade it all the way to rank 13
3k valor to take something from 1/13 to 13/13.... in 15 slots? Fuck. That.
its not even only 3k valor
some slots are 7.5k
some are even as much as 25k for 1 slot
Subcreation provides statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons, Raids, and PvP in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and provides summaries of the top talents, gear, enchants, and gems used in Mythic+ and Raids.
And that page is just a tier list
Most popular by keys+
should say something shouldnt it
considering if u check raider.io top prot warrs most of them have the exact same gear as the most populare :p
which has totally nothing to do with it just being highest ilvl
Maybe cuz bis

My brain cells
i guess its some form of a list, icy-veins has a list you can follow otherwise
real psychopaths farm 2's for gear with leech on it then upgrade it to 13/13
Imagine being held prisoner in +2 CoS going for Mel with leech and sockets and whetstone w leech
+3** but yeah that’s how I got my whetstone finally 😂
It helps that everyone was still getting valor for the farm.
by the tiem you get both you will have enough valor to upgrade both 😮
Yea I guess that softens the blow
Having ring and whetstone on both my tanks
I cannot fathom
DPS - “I’m tired of this grandpa”
Tank still needing the trinket - “That’s too damn bad”
hello may i ask for fast log review what im doing wrong ? ty https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XCf8QvZFNMGyrAbx/#fight=10&type=damage-done&source=543
instantly looks like a case of "not pressing enough buttons"
youre playing barbaric training which i recommend switchgin off of
that talent will slow down your entire playstyle and will hurt your defensive rage usage
i mean i watching all those prot war s on twitch im looking that rotation ... and for me it is liek impossible
