For trinkets from m+ wowhead suggests blazebinder and ruby whelp shell, that still accurate?
Whetstone is the dungeon trinket u want
so is the idea to just send torch first then send the rest of my cds?
on raid bosses
Is avoidance a good stat?
Question is high AA tyrannical only possible with an evoker?
I mean it’s free budget but I would rather have leach or even speed
is there a priority list for crafted 418 gear?
how much better is that than strike twice?
would pick strike twice over it if same or higher ilvl
Seems like they're running a lot of Defender's Aegis over Impenetrable Wall in the MDI
what's the rationale there, do we think
why is a 418 prot warrior doing 20k less dps than me at 408
he's not hitting his buttons
would a 418 primal molten be that big of an upgrade over a 415 strike twice?
no
legitimately, I've been in so many pugs where the other tank is just not pressing their buttons
ill prob switch to strike twice, as i have a ton of haste
Because there's so many warriors who walk around without pressing buttons
@naive panther
hello lol
welcome to my ragtag band of dumbasses
hopefully i don't embarrass myself as arms, but last key went ok...
arms good
do they call it arms warrior cause you hit stuff with your arms
arms huge.
arms owns
hello, at what point would you be able to replace your lariat? e.g. if i have a 405 lariat vs a 411 Chain of Scorched Bones, does the proc make up for the ilevel difference?
Upgrade the lariat bro
sim question.
yeah simmed it, came up with the chain as a better option
reinforce -> yep, farming em now
Lmao grieftorch pads parses so much
Nothing wrong with padded parses
so with the ruby whelp trink, which proc are we training for? the haste one?
idk if i would consider it padding if it helps kill stuff faster and its non-inefficient damage done
tbf on heroic I feel like you can just yolo it and alternate tanking both bosses
I got 89

because someone pozzed literally EVERYONE
literally griefed my parse
parsed 97 on dathea tho
so that's nice
I can't parse well on brood either
but I only do boss tank, prob why?
89 on council (I blame the griefer) and 83 on brood 
brood is the bane of my existence, I cant parse on it
It’s the exact same thing as lords of dread
I guess an 83 parse while doing boss + 3rd eggs is decent
oh dear
I can't get a 99 parse 
well, I can for my ilvl
lmao
408 ilvl so maybe I shouldn't expect to get 99s
heroic or normal the real question tho
Heroic
grief whetstone
I need to get the icon tbh, torch is really annoying to use
problem is you arent doing anything in that 2 second window, as well as it being really good depends on ppl dying which is kinda worthless on prog bosses
It still does good damage on cd tho
is spellblock good in halls
spellblock is pretty much always good
It's alright in HoV, good in TJS
ok
spell block it is then
i was gonna run tough as nails but i dont want to die during the first pull of the dungeon
You can range the dragon breath
ik but i still dont want to die
im not sure if most of that pack has blockable spelsl tho
Like none of it except the breath
wait you can't bolster bosses anymore?
The only thing is Hyrja but you really don’t need it for her either . Defensive stance plus rotating cds
dstance or bstance for that first pull?
I do b stance myself cause i can double charge to pick up packs to build rage
This week being tyrannical usually don’t even range the beam, just reflect
What defense u guys use for 3rd Boss tjs and 2nd Boss rlp tankbuster?
I think there is a sample in the pins
You are right , thank you
the spreadsheet says you can spellblock Radiant Tempest on Odyn but
seems to be fake news
anyone know?
I wiped to it just now and it was very awkward lol
Uhh never stand in that circle… like ever..
the stomp always comes after the add, and you can literal W at base MS out with about 1-2 globals remaining
you also have leap, and charge the add, if the add isn't in a shit spot
don't use leap before that part if you have trouble, it will be up for every time he does it
even if u did spellblock that doesn't guarantee you will survive lol
It does so much damage if it’s spell blockabkle it’s probably still doesn’t come close to saving you
can crit spell blocks for 100% dr 🙂
hey, abt to hit 70 -- what crafted items should i go for, aside from crafted ring + lariat?
anyone have a battleshout weakaura that only prompts you for specs that actually need it (rather than the usual one that pops up for when some random caster dies and it shows up still)
Is 415 Strike Twice better than 418 crafted sword? Just got one to drop and not sure
could sim it
this is true, haven't simmed on my tank lmao my fault
That is 3 embelishments
so for academy, I think i watched a video where you want to have 1 orb come on the third phase so u don't link mana bombs with fusion. Just want to clarify if thats a decent strat
it's just a suggestion list, the real crafting suggestions are 2 embellishments (pref belt for raid ring) and whatever slots you're failing to get ilvl upgrades on
anyone on prot warrior using fang adornments
or are you sticking to elemental lariat and unstable frostfire
i have lariat and frostfire but i don't think it would be awful to use fang over lariat
frostfire is the only clear winner and that's only with eranog ring
did this just now, incase i ever want to go blood elf, of all the heritage armor sets, this one is easily one of top 3
whats our max crit we want? im at 4500 rn wonder if I should start stacking haste/verse
with buffs and all
blizz fix hyrja swap?
why are you stacking crit in the first place? 🤔
i dunno how it works
mdi is a diff realm and based on its own patch. they could hotfix something today and it wont affect mdi unless its something gamebreaking, then theyd likely push it to mdi realm after it has a day to be played on regular servers incase the fix broke something else.
does it truly break the game?
Im saying if the fix breaks something.
And yes, at a certain point the only way to do Hyrja on a certain key level will be to do the swap.
damage
alr so im at 32, so ill start going haste verse then
could also swap some crit gems to haste
But like...you don't stack stats other than haste as prot warrior.
Love wiping on raz hc just cause I wanna fix my parse on my wcl profile
for 3 hours
why spend 3 hours on h raz
friend wants to kill it
plus I want to get a better parse on it
but man it's such a miserable experience every time
crit/haste
29% haste 32% crit
p2 ye
hunger of the pack a decent trinky to pair with windscar?
also playing arms
deciding where first to spend valor
Finally got Blazebinder's hoof, should i macro it into something to just set and forget it?
ight
Hi guys 411 Hunger of the Pack(from vault) vs 402 Decoration of Flame (equipped) other choices are not worth or have better equipped items
also Hunger of the Pack is the highest ilvl on trinket slot other trinket is 405 Ruby
Would sim it. But off the jump@i would def usenit over decoration, mediocre especially for us
what boss route do u guys do in algethar this week
these days i go vex - crawth - tree
but if i was pugging i might go tree first since it still seems to be the boss some people just don't know how to do
and best to know that asap lol
what has made you think this
whetstone: mastery + single target
hoof: haste and strength
reread whetstone, it is absolutely not single target
It actually sims very well single target, but yeah aoe as well
yep! all around busted
If only it existed
it is single target
the tooltip is lying to you
they made it split years ago
and then never updated the tooltip
for each target hit it deals additional 15% dmg up to 5
and it deals split damage
so its good on both
Oh that makes it not a complete waste to use then
its "fine" on AOE
strength is a bigger increase
trinkets in AOE goes no-split>stats>split>pure ST
there are obviously nuances
but thats generally how it works
what do I do about lasher toxin in AA?
I shockwaved all the lashers, they took forever to die, I get 40 stacks, die
get dispelled
priests can't do poison
sick, great game
can shockwave yeah, they usually just blow up tho so you can live it with wall+IP spamming (infinite rage since 1 milion mobs are up)
shouldn't need aegis
i would say spell reflect and d stance is not enough, but u have other cds that u dont need double wall
unless you tend to overuse
double wall is less overall SWs anyway, so it's worse on hyrja
R prot warriors getting nerfed anytime soon
my god
wiped on odyn at 35 minutes
guy just leaves
Hunter dies to the fuckin circle and has the audacity to insta leave
maybe it's out of embarrassment
is it worth crafting the belt even if i don't have the fire ring yet?
But once they all die and you don’t have infinite rage anymore ☠️
if you dont have the rings you may as well craft the vers bracers
are there any shield enchants now?
then debuff drops shortly after
damn missed 18 AA by 2 minutes because we wiped on big bird twice
that boss is cracked
Very undecided between ruby ST, blaze binder and trampling hoof trinket. Sims all the same kinda
I feel like ruby it is since prio single target is more important even tho I can't get the proc when I want. Any thoughts on this ?
whelp shell still feels very inconsistent for me
Hi guys, was doing a Shadowmoon 22 and then I got nuked out of nowhere by the first boss. Any indicator for Deathspike?
Boss gets a 3stack buff
Should I be able to see it on their buff bar?
Autoattacks will apply deathspike
Yes
You can reflect 1 stack back to the boss
You can parry/defensive CD others
But nothing else you can do
Okay, I'll have to pay more attention to it, but thanks
That boss is practically "be full HP" and Pop CDs and SR pretty much all the time
does anyone have a weak aura for the jade strike amount from temple of jade 3rd boss?
Hi guys... does PRot Spell block with ofc active shield block work on Hyrja's Shield of light?
Yes
spell block, spell reflect are really good on top of our usual demo shout and shield wall. last stand helps the absorb, ip does, iv, health pots etc
spell block can be up for 2 strikes as well
Is this normal 540k Dragon Strike hit from 21+ AV Umbrelskul
did you have spell reflect up? cos its a chonky hit otherwise
You can technically SR every hit if you time it right
But the timing is fucky due to spell queuing
Just plan on SRing every other
Then use Shield Wall + Def or similar CDs for the alternate hits you don't reflect
And immediately IV as you eat the hit
Why prot warrior take spell block for M Rashageth?
U should always take spell block on raz
Regardless of difficulty
Not only does it stop jaws
Its blocks every tick of the beam in final phase
Where in logs can I find the CPM of skill usage?
any other bosses where Spell Block is big, outside of Mythic?
Thanks
Casts tab
what the fuck
well I'm never doing hc raz again
but that would have been nice to know
do u guys use any wa like cooldown pulse to see shield block uptime?
Yes
Just a basic buff tracker yes
ahh, could u guys pls share it? lookin for some sort of low opacity alert when my sb is off
Oh that I don't have
Is devastator worth investing a point into?
u stand in green circle when ancient branch dies
Best warriors plays with no talents
i lost interest in MDI when i discovered they are using special items not on live servers. explains the crazy mass pulls
its not skill its gear
thats a take
they get like 1 weapon and a maybe diff trinket
its 99.9% the same exact gear we have
eg naowh was using forgestorm from neltarus.
What?
forgestorm is hardly better than other 421s
forgestorm has some special aoe proc
yeah but no strength
its bis, dont get me wrong
but it wont make you suddenly win at the game
And he was using m0 version?
no he was using 421 ilvl forgestorm
it makes no diff
everybody has equal access to it on TR
Yep
its not level playing field for us audience
its not level playing field cuz they can just spam the key
and dont have to farm it
its not level playing field cuz they dont have tertiary procs on their gear
aka they cant roll leech or avoidance on gear
I don't get it. Doing RLP 20 and 60% of the attempts we wipe at first boss even though i line up my cds really well. The healers are often pulling 50k hps, feels like its not enough on 1st?
1st boss is extremely scripted
super easy to handle
boss opens with 4 frost bolts
then does hailstorm
im fine with melidrusa as long as i use spellblock
then throws her aoe
I spell block at first so i get it back for later
then again does 3 frostbolts
you can reflect 1 frostbolt
you have SW available every minute
you have spellblock every 1.5minutes
But I try to SW the chilling
last run he said he had to heal all the others 😛
After all my disaster runs in RLP i got into a group yesterday and we missed +2 chests by 3 seconds 🙂
Was happy
hey, how in the world does titanic throw work? In the first room in RLP, near the golem patrol, i tried pulling those adds near eggs while the golem was in the back of the room but i ended up throwing to almost everything in the entire room, including the golem that was atleast 80 yards away -_-
But you do the 1st spell block, 2nd u reflect 1 of bolts, then SW the other 3?
You don't want it back for later?
bro you go about it the whole wrong way
no wonder
you open with spell reflect + shield wall
cuz SW is a shorter CD
you have spell reflect for every time she starts her 3 frostbolts
so its like
It makes sense to open with SW as you want it to got on CD asap so you can have it again up
Same logic for 2nd RLP 3rd TJS and Crawth, but for bleeds i open with stoneform
But like for bleeds? On crawth you would rather handle first bleed with SW?
There is a chance that it can fit one more use in the fight 🙂 as its more than 2min 😄
Thats minor thing with SW being on that short CD
yes always SW first
theres no point using stoneform on the first bleed
when youre in absolutely no danger and have everything available
youre just wasting CDR of SW at that point, cdr youd get anyway
I see
Is there a list of trinkets to aim for?
Grieftorch, all-totem, icon and whetstone
Oh I got all-totem didn’t really understand how it works from the text on it
Do I need to actually change stances when I get the buff?
No it's entirely passive
It procs every 30seconds (if you parry) and grants 1 of 4 buffs
Air = 12-14% haste buff for 10sec
Earth = 4.4 - 5.2k armor for 10sec
Ice = 15-18k hps heal for 7 sec
Fire = dot on enemies for 6 seconds
Cool thanks for explaining
It does those buffs + the dmg procs, it's suuper strong in m+
Pretty much the highest m+ dps trinket for us
And best defensive trinket too
Nice glad I kept it
i wouldve loved pre-nerf all-totem even more
that shit was bonkers
on beta, ice gave the enemy a windfury effect, slowing their attack and casting speed, and fire made it so they took more dmg from you
absolutely insane
Awww
I Always get the stuff after the nerf
Got a question. How do you deal with the adds on the last boss of nok?
it never made it to live like that
last boss nokhud requires the entire group to coordinate kicks
1 way to help yourself out is by hard CCing one of the outer mobs
so you deal with 3 first then get the last one
Yeah that’s what I did and got the aoe silence to grab two on one side
Lol as dps i got it down pat but tanking it was like oh fuck these guys want t stay and cast
any "safer" build for jade 3rd boss? do i just take 2 shield walls and thunderlord maybe? anything else?
thunderlord isnt enough to get demo any more frequent on the boss
waste of a talent
you only get demoshout for every 2nd jade strike
you cant get it any more frequent than every 2nd strike
if you suck with SW usage, then yeah double SW is playable
but generally theres nothing special you dont already play
aight thanks, btw on which dungeons do people normally play spell block?
jade is one of them right?
AV, TJS, RLP
Smbg is also popular
HoV is also popular but not rly needed if you coordinate with your healer
i just always run Spell block so i dont forget to talent it when i want it 🙃
yeah i just pug 20s mainly so idc about that extra dps
God bless impending victory for TJS
Man what’s up with last boss of azure. I swear at the end of the fight I have all the orbs after me
Or do I just need to be kitting them
Don't they have an aggro table or something
healing aggro
I don't think anyone has definitively found out what kind of reasoning there is behind whom they follow
healing aggro is as good as a guess as another afaik
im sure its just placebo but when i dont spam IP on that boss they dont seem to follow me
aka healing aggro
how do you see if the Vexamus boss is gonna do the manabomb + fissure overlap? 🤔 will it show in the timers?
Just don’t press our important button ez 
You’ll just need to kite. Use thundering and how it lets you move around in addition to leap etc
Yes
At least with little wigs it shows
will the timer line up on time?
or is it like off by 4 sec?
because mana bombs do the big dmg after 4 sec right?
I would press devestate.....
........... if it had devestating effects
https://wago.io/4sSCdffc9
will something like this work?
or will it desync again if the fight goes on for long?
hey guys, I've read the wowhead guide on protection warrior but I still have some questions about the play style
i've heard vexamus likes to unleash his full power and wipe the group
cant confirm only baby 15 keys
Uhhh idk I just feed it one orb after the 2nd fissure and that’s it
I’ve never used a WA or anything
it is mentioned that shield slam should be put on CD immediately, but I often find myself very high on rage with IP still being up, do I spend rage on revenge before casting another shield slam to avoid wasting rage? the guide puts revenge on the last priority
ye ok, thats basically what the WA says 😄
spend rage on IP
and send Slam
you spend on IP even though it is full
dont care about the shield
you spend on Revenge if you have free globals for it
otherwise send IP -> Slam
why do I send IP when I literally gain next to nothing from it?
you gain a ton from it
Avatar reduction, Indomitable heal
and you avoid overcapping
which is our biggest concern
Dumping rage is super important to how prot warrior works
and the Violent Outburst rage
Make rage, spend rage, cycle cooldowns faster, it's a self-feeding cycle
warrior is all a feedback loop of generate as much rage as possible, and spend it all
without overcapping
^ this
what about the 4pc buff from revenge
where do I put that in my priority
I sometimes find myself getting so many shield slam procs that I basically do nothing else
just make sure you revenge every 4th or 5th global
you can get a weak aura for it or set buffs to "show short buffs only" makes it easier to track combat only buffs
the goal of pwar is to generate and spend as much rage as possible because of talents such as Anger Management, Violent Outburst and Indomitable
whats the best class WA
best is to make your own
i don't use 1 weakaura, i use a bunch
pwar is a huge rage cycle machine
because then you get what you feel you need
but there are some decent groups out there
idk which to recommend though
i recommend mine 
so even in big aoe's I press (outside of avatar) shield slam > thunder clap?
except I have the outburst buff
outburst you want to primarily send on shield slam
only on 5+ targets during avatar on TC
which one is yours?
wouldnt show when i searched for some reason
when youre learning to play prot warrior, i recommend hard focusing on shield slam
another thing on the opener: where do I put thunderous roar?
guide says demo shout > ravager though
ravager lasts longer than demo
wth i cant load any of the wago from you Nome 🤣
k, then im going to brand that into my brain for now thanks 😄
the site is often tempermental
if thats the correct word, um, it goes offline or lags frequently for me
but when it works it works, so i no complain
How do you group multiple packs? Just TC and move to the next one? Also sometimes I struggle to hold aggro mid pull when someone is pumping a lot of single target.
does this work?
it worked finally 😄
but did my profile link not work? cuz whenever people ask about UI i just link them that, if it doesnt work its kinda cringe
Ok I've avoided opening with shield charge because a while ago I read we want to a shield block charge first, not sure how relevant that is.
i mean, if u send something, anything, and it doesn't work, and its beyond your control, it is what it is
ok good
How would u cycle your CDs on RLP and crawth bleeds if I've got a evoker with bleed dispell ? Let him dispell first or shield wall first ?
SW - demo - SW - demo
if you have evoker you can just SW- cleanse - SW - cleanse
its that simple
Every other i have SW up ?
imo, quick aggro with TC/Rev then move, tell your DPS to not open until grouped
you should, yes
Didn't work.. guess I suck
you can do charge first if you wish, yes, and SB is a good idea, but one of your very first attacks if its open should be SC at start of fight
if possible
dont play double shield wall
Kk
if you play impenetrable wall, you should have it for every other
make sure you are playin The Wall and AM
Need to trust in the reset then
if you have evoker, i would say Wall first one, have Evoker dispell next 3
then Wall again
and then rotate
evoker cant dispell 3 back to back on that boss
Evoker 1 min CD
on crawth?
ohh
Crawth bleed is even more often
When do u pull shield wall for the bleed. When she starts the hits?
once you got the bleeds
not for the initial hits
if you only get 2 stacks cuz of parry you dont need anything
when you get 4 stacks is when you need defensives
hey is unstable frostfire belt worth it or nah
3 stacks should still be chill unless you do high keys
if you have fire ring, yes
if you have eragnog ring yes
frostfire belt is bis with fire rings, otherwise nothing special
i'd like the other fire ring too, but whatever
At this point .7 will give you a second ring anyway wouldn’t be to sad
fire ring? may i know its name?
its the ring from eranog
ohh diurna's chosen? ok ty ty
NGL only 21 keys but still kinda stressful for me even with 414 ILVL. Sometimes I panic press SW before i wait how many stacks I get and then I see I get 2 stacks. Sadge
Need to get more comfy and chill that fight
But being a dad not playing many keys I don't get the routine fast enough 😄
Duty would probably be insane on Hpaladin or any heal priest, has to be good for rsham too
ninja pull patrol dragon has forever scared me away from RLP combined with lightning fuckers, 2nd boss adds being placed in fire and not kicked and dmg right after that add, and then breath on final boss
nothing else whatsoever in RLP scares me, but those things i listed, i got forever ptsd
First boss feels like most stress
very chill after that part
i fucking hate that patrol flying red dragon
first boss is also super chill once you understand that the boss is AFK half of the time
and doesnt attack you
and just does other shit
she very rarely ever casts frostbolt more than 3 times in a row
theres ways around him to never pull him but i just dread doing that pack everytime, especially on any kind of fortified week
you always have SR up for each frostbolt sequence
They do truck
fuck that dragon yo
Ngl
Yeah
so its omega whatever
Defenses for chill storm still ?
the only thing on the boss 1 is you have to attack the adds to get aggro or healer dies
thats literal it
I just listen to guys doing higher keys. Got no time to trial and error by myself slot 😄
when it comes to what to look out for, sure
He said Spellblock and SW chill storms and I didn't even question it a bit
don't stand in the giant spikey ice bombs and run away from the vacuum mechanics
hmmm very hard
chillstorm itself isnt dangerous
its the frostbolts during it
That's the friggin DMG there
yes
She only doesn't frostbolt during adds ?
i legit dont think i've ever wiped to the first boss rlp and there wasnt already some BS happening in background of game
she doesnt frostbolt when shes busy doing other casts
I feel so dumb now

Thx
I will legit never play double wall again now too. Always took it fore securing 4 Hits in a row temple third boss. But i obviously don't need it now knowing the timings are that sick with cdr
Even on tjs 3rd boss rlp 2nd boss?
yes
I feel kind of scared on 23s without it imo
1st SW 2-3 SB 4 SW
doesnt make any sense pantz
cuz
2nd boss RLP does tank buster every 30-40seconds
SW with impenetrable wall is 1minute CD
you can SW every other one
if you play double wall, you dont have it for every other one
you will legit have less SWs ready
then you just havent gotten high enough yet, shits rough for healers eventually
also lmao that mdi take
(not from yogi)
yogi do mdi = yogi have heart attack and every other organ attack and die
This is a great point!
just as many times as you can with double wall
I honestly never saw a reason for double wall in live keys. You can wall every other tank buster in like every dungeon.
what if instead that talent was double last stands
1st SW + demo + SR + IV
2nd spell block
3rd spell block + sr + IV
4th LS + demo + pot
5th SW + rest
since its maths wrong
this is the CD rotation you can do with impenertable wall on TJS 3rd boss
I did use double wall in time trial keys though. Pulls go so fast 
what trinkets are they using in mdi for prot?
yeah those were the choices i was thinking lol
What’s your best options for trinkets if you don’t raid ?
pug raid 🙂
whetstone + get your ass into raid
whetstone + weekly quest chest
hc trinkets are plenty strong
hi guys
Can anyone share stance macros please?

hello 👋 , I can't play a lot because of work but I sometimes want to play tank.
I already have a fury warrior and a dk dps
for you between war dk and pal which is the easiest to equip in double spe dps/tank🧐
ok spell lock only blocks casted spells not melee's right?
do you always pool your cds to use ravager, roar and shield charge always into demoshout+avatar?
im not like missing something
From@my little experience prot and arms is really fun to rotate
never pool cds
@strong forum Is there a trick to spawn waves at 3rd boss in TJS at same position or is it just random? Some say you can influence it, but either you can't or I'm far too stupid to do it.
they line up automatically
warrior
i dont fucking know, whenever i stand still, it still spawns at random locations idk what to fucking think
i cba that boss
ravager roar and shield charge do, but aren't avatar and demo shouts cd length depending on the fights?
pretty sure its based on where boss is directing
spell block for spells
shield block for melees
yeah this it would tilt tf outa me
ahh ok
you cant spellblock without pressing shield block
I also tried to tank in same position and in same face direction, but also always have the feeling that its random.
shield block increases block chance by 100%
thanks for your thouhgts on that
if you dont have shield block up with spellblock, you dont guarantee blocking
obviously you dont stop pressing shielf block
lots of people thought it worked like that
wait what
no shot
"spell block says can block spells" yeah can not will
how do avatar and demo shout line up with the other cds when their cd isn't static?^^
demo is static
avatar is 35sec CD
dont sit on avatar
you lose out on avatar casts if you wait for it
demo is reduced on TC hits, no?

and a small defensive gain
i dont ever play it
or recommend it to anyone to play it
cuz as you already identified
itll desync cooldowns from demoshout
so the proposed solution would be to hold something? right?
which means you lose out on casts
if you hold on demo shout, you straight up waste the talent
if you hold the other CDs you miss out on extra casts over a key, ultimately losing dmg
so dmg wise, its a lose-lose situation
battering ram seems to be the alternative down the path?
which is a massive ST dmg increase
Batterying Ram is delicious
and rage increase
and ST dmg is what speeds up keys the most
the dps will handle aoe
on that note, how important is the weapon enchant? I read sophic devotion for defense, frozen devo for offense
or rather how big the difference of those two is
frozen devo is more dmg on ST, sophic slightly more on aoe
i recently enchanted frozen devo cuz its 400dps gain on ST, whereas sophic is only 1k dps gain over frozen on 10targets
and since im a dps whore, i did that
but objectively speaking, for actual keys sophic is better
Someone got a good Spell reflect weak aura ?
depends what you want out of the weakaura
how much dmg you reflected, or when its up, chat announcer, buff tracker?
Thunderlord shouldn't be capped at 3s tbh.
yuuuup
then in SL they nerfed it to 1.5sec per enemy, then they nerfed it to 1.5sec per enemy capped at 3 enemies
now its 1sec per enemy capped at 3
fucking joke
S1 BFA demo shout azerite>>>>>this shit too
demo extension was funny
S1 Prot was fun(minus infested)
(minus IP on gcd and no ranged block)
you could play around ranged block, but it was like playing reprisal in SL
required fuckloads of extra brainpower
@strong forum hey nomeratur if I outside of raid content. only m+ you think all-totem + icon still bis? or its better whetstone + something? retired someday to help friends in m+ only
heroic is very VERY easily puggable, especially kurog and council
takes like 1hr a week to get chance at bis trinkets
but whetstone is a decent replacement if nobody else has icon
last heroic council i pugged to carry a buddies alt ended with me at #1 dps, 30k higher then everyone else

I already have all totem + icon, but I wanted to know if they are the best ones to do m+ too
yes
thanksss
its really close
you enable groupwide buffs, so its a net gain for the group
personally, its only slightly behind
without raid content its better change tier sets for catalyst m+ set right? im looking for better parts to replace
true
catalyst m+ set?
I play fury sometimes and trying to catch the best options for fury+prot
its the same item
oh and now with cross-realm mythic up
good idea to pug M nogg and M council
still very easy fights, you'll know if you wipe on nogg if the group is capable of council so you can dip and save your lockout if it looks hopeless.
I mean.. the chest from raid give crit+versa.. and I looking for transform in catalyst the chest from m+ giving haste+mastery but I thinking to keep good status with 2 specs like fury/prot.
just gear for arms
arms and prot have damn near the same stat prio
if you catalyst m+ chest you dont get haste, you get tier chest
what am i missing here
its always the same item
it will always be crit-vers
it always transforms into the same item
you dont just add the tier set onto the item
ty this is very helpful
you transform it into the tier item
god if we could pick stats
yea

imagine if we still had reforging
I thinking about pick stats and thinking too much
yes
why did they remove reforging?
buuuuuuut if I transform my m+ in tier set. I can upgrade with valor after this or I need do it before transform?
yes, you can upgrade it after
"cuz it was too complicated, they didnt want people to have to reforge every single item the time they got a new one"

they wanted items to just be pick up and be upgrades
tyyy
i think they got it right end of last expansion, where you could convert to tier pieces as soon as your farmed the currency. I felt like i was at a disadvantage this time arouind because i only do m+ and don't raid
if you hunt mogs, I advise you to transform first, then upgrade to max
yes
its such a step backwards
having to go months with no set bonus feels bad
it's because of RWF, but they don't realize that RWF players will have 4p anyway and they are just screwing with the player base for no reason
if they preplanned patch to be release as soon as rwf is over, i would be so happy
let me get my 4pc so i can farm 5 keys lol
What? You didn't like throw rock/wrench or alternating clap with IP? 🫠

the thought of playing this class with ip on gcd sounds so awful.
It was pretty weird.
the GCD changes were some of the worst chagnes ever seen
Especially coming off Legion and the endless IP spam we did!
They want the raid to be the primary source of set, so they force M+ only players to wait until season is up 1/3 to have chance for set (or force them into raids, u choose..)
like jdotb. He is always angry that he is forced to raid to be have a chance in M+
as he "lives" for m+ / MDI
us m+ and pvp players need to unite
Question, was running an AA earlier but was getting chucked after a bit on the tree due to stacks. Anyone have any tips? On my pally it’s a non issue cause I can deal with it myself or cheese it. Warrior I don’t have that option
been like that since the release of m+, why be angry for over half a decade
play something else or deal with it lul
he deals with it, but he is not happy about it
when you spend 8-12 hours spamming the same keys to practice paths 3-4 days a week
why is raiding for 4-5 hours a week such a problem
cuz he doesnt like it?
Bukamaq's Lasher Toxin is refreshed by Hungry Lasher 22
What a combat log entry. Now I still don't know if its spell blockable or not (no sense's doc has not entry for them)
yeah ok but your viewers dont care to hear you rant and complain about it for 6 years, idk it was the reason I stopped watching him in SL when he went on a shouting tirade about having to raid castle
I enjoy it but i raid mythic casually 4 hours a week with some irl friends 🤷
Mostly being forced to do it with 19 other clowns.
so really its just hanging out with buddies I wouldn't otherwise see
when youre playing competitively you dont really get to raid with your friends
he feels forced to play content he doesnt enjoy, thats p much it
its his stream, he can whine if he wants to
not saying he cant
its his stream, he can do whatever he likes within twitch's TOS lol
Dots aren't blockable
🤦♂️ ofc. have too look at the appliement
After Prot Warrior what spec and class is similar in difficulty of play?
How are prot warriors surviving jade serpent strike on 3rd boss in temple? I just watched my tank get smoked 3 times in a row with it
Bitter immunity for one set of stacks (the second is what I shoot for) and pray the DPS nukes them
pins
thanks
do you actully have to tank the 2 extra adds in sbg 3rd boss serpant?
no
it feels like teams will be racing for world first sub 10 minute TJS on like 20 21 22 on mdi soon
You deal with it by bringing a poison dispel
what do you guys use for settings in raidbots to sim dmg for prot warrior in m+?
5 targets, 45 sec-1.5 min no buffs
some people were doing 5 bosses for 1 minute but i have no idea how representative that is
dungeon slice isn't updated, so don't use that
should be fairly decent since ST and 5T prio doesnt change
yeah most likely
You can’t get off the boss so you can’t tank the small adds, but to reduce healing it’s a good idea to put someone in melee range of each while they are up. Otherwise they’ll cast the same ability the boss does when no tank is in range.
for m+ what are the perfect sim modes i should do? and how many targets/minutes
scroll up
hey guys. i am using the liquid wa for the raid. we are on diurna and i am on add duty. does anybody got a screenshot for the marker where the adds spawns?
the wowhead guide says TC > Shield slam during avatar, but the icyveins guide says the priority stay with Shield Slam > TC, but to be aware of the lowered TC cool down
so which one is it?^^
depends on what content you do
I use Decoration of Flame and Incarnates Icon
thats a good combo
not sure if I should swap one of them since I also have the Rumbling Ruby
you can sim yourself to see upgrades
i only have 20% haste on my gear at 415 ilvl, whats a good talent option to help me out in single target? because sometimes i feel a bit rage starved. Really dont want to drop HR though, i'm thinking either instigate, bloodsurge or enduring alacrity
into the fray is like the option if you need more haste for ST
Im pretty sure the wowhead guide says TC>SS w/ 2 targets during avatar
Double checked this and yes it says TC does more dmg vs 2 targets during avatar
well its not needing haste its needing rage, i worded it badly tbh
They are the same thing, haste=rage
Honestly I feel like even 2 target it’s bad play. TC might do slightly more damage on 2 targets but it isn’t feeding into Heavy rep nor is it giving near as much rage. Would also never put outburst procs into TC on 2 target.
the wowhead guide is wrong on different sections, that being one of them
Better to use SS to throw it on CD, try and TC every other global and fish for more SS procs that way
always prio SS
only time you dont prio SS is in giga pulls where bloodsurge keeps you rage capped anyway
I did a 20 RLP and kept getting wrecked by the frigid strikes by the first boss, is there a certain skill to take in the tree to help out with that. Can only spell reflect so much
Oh really I missed that detail
I swear my groups are cursed today. Can't get an AV 16 completed in time for the life of me
Just look in the direction of it during the cast?
How do you do 11k dps average over a dungeon with 400 ilvl?
explain to us the best of your ability where you think or know it start to fall apart
oh its the warlock, he probably died on every trash pack and every boss to do that dps
that or literal not hitting buttons
Less deaths than the hunter
if their score was decent it's possible they ate too many edibles that hit right as the key started
I didn't check score, joined a group
what was this persons ilvl and score roughly speaking (you could say 370 and 1100 say
I wish you could see the score and ilvl of all members of groups before you join
398 ilvl
He has cast 51 chaos bolts and 27 incinerates in 34 minutes
That seems low
well, something went wrong that he wasn't able to hit his buttons, like bad positioning( you can solve this problem for your group) + RNG bullcrap or he wasn't TRYING to hit his buttons
Dude is just bad. No dancing around it. It's impossible to do damage that low unless you just don't give a fuck
yea, its really impossibru
try to call it out mid key without being toxic if that makes sense
you just make a simple statement at said player like "are you good [player name]?" something not imflammatory
maybe a friend of the person who made the group who's completely out of their depth
But he had ~400 ilvl m+ gear, so he has to have done quite a lot of them
but honestly though, up until point where its actively adding 10's of seconds and minutes for time gates (killing first boss under 5 minutes total timer say), its not worth calling out
ok watching MDI made me realize how the beer trick work and that I can interact with the mini boss after it has been active from the beer
thought it just reset and that was it
Wait so you just throw the beer and go you don’t have to wait for that animation BS
Question Avoidance or Leech on gear ?
leech
@hidden ether think it is that you throw beer on king, drag something on top of him and he fights for a while. when he goes back to "green" you should be able to talk to him
Yeah takes forever they are almost dead by the time the next one is ready
@strong forum oh, look I'm being put on blast in the prot warrior discord. You want a chance to tear into the raid lead from the team that booted me there he is.
ya, you tell half the story and talk all the shit you want
look at the conversation it replies to then.
dwarf or dark iron dwarv 😎
Yes
Liu Flameheart - Jade Temple - How do I survive this shit?
lmao who tf cares
you kicked him
Sit here and talk shit, blaming everyone but yourself. then get mad when someone calls you out on your bullshit. I shouldve kicked you a month ago and I let you stay
nobody cares take your drama elsewhere
oh, ya, im the bad guy for defending my team
nobody gives a solitary fuck
same
clearly you suck at reading logs LOL
clearly

holy shit lol
you also give enough of a fuck to come here and start shit
I didnt start a damn thing
I know you clearly have some sort of drama going on but any advice? 🤣 Getting molested by serpent strike.
Someone scroll up and tell me whose being silly
cool
not my fault this idiot is in here talking shit, posting dms, trying to put us on blast
when we went over his logs, he was the one receiving the least healinig almost entirely from all healers
who the fuck are you
all healing on him was incidental aoe healing
put "us" on blast
who the fuck are you
If I remember there's one part on pins about that
In the pins, brother
now calm down and stop being salty
ty
literally this i remeber
im not going to heal the tank
im not about to sit here and let someone talk shit and tell half the stroy
and blame him for dying
"who the fuck are you" by nobody
and told him how to manage the stacks better
he adjusted his taunts, which leads to less dmg taken, on his sennarth kill, he received the 2nd least healing from healer out of the ENTIRE raid
his dmg taken is entirely normal
^^
his blocked hits were normal
^^
think it was scripte that said that tanks should only need "splash healing"
scripe*
yours healers need to actually heal a warrior tank
they arent the same to the others
he took less damage because he sat there and told our other tank to taunt sooner because he couldnt handle it
^^
^^
