I dont know what logs are
Wowhead has a guide
But proper play you shouldn't feel squishy unless it's a tank buster
Get the Loggerhead addon, get the warcraft logs uploader (and login to it). Play a dungeon. Upload the log
Does it keep count of my logs even tho I didnt "set them up"?
Nah you won't have anything that hasn't been logged
And why am I doing it?
It's not retroactive
You have to set advanced combat logging in options
Well. In future you might have a question and if you have logged something we can help you more accurately
logs are the best way to improve
Chances are someone else in your keys/raids has logged something, so check your character on warcraftlogs I guess
Because we can't give detailed advice on what you need help without knowing the errors you're making
you are doing it because its advanced statistics
we can see what you are doing right or wrong
Logs made me see how I wasn't blocking enough hits, was wasting rage, etc.
anybody done/doing m diurna that’s on adds w/o tricks or md? I’m having threat issues and trying to figure out if we need to move our rogue from boss to adds for help with it
or if melee just need to give me a second to hit mobs when whetstone or challenging isn’t up
There were only one or two times where threat was an issue, and at those times the dps just need to keep their dick in their pants for a second
Those packs are the first proto drake with the 4 smallies
And then the two larger packs before you go from one side of the room to the other, to do the last set(s)
What are you reading from that? 🙂
it shows how much rage he wasted (not a lot)
we running 3 havoc with 1 ww and it’s tough rn if they weren’t getting meleed and dying to it it wouldn’t be a problem
how many hits he let through block
Cpm is really low
I cant read graphs. I am so fucking stupid.
You used SW 6 times in a 30ish min dungeon
SW is around a 1 min CD with proper play
I am using Shield Wall just for them keks
I dont really need it ever
I press it when boss is low hp just so I secure it without dying.
You taking less damage more often=healer can do more damage
“Im taking a lot of damage” “I don’t use Shield block much cuz I don’t need it” wut???
Shield wall*
youre also running thunderlords but youre using demo less than i am without
thats a sheesh
wasted talent point in that case
Taking lot of dmg just means I sometimes drop below 80% 😄
I forget last stand. Kinda think its useless ability.
Idk
yeah last stand isnt too hot
tbh you're sitting on CDs a lot
it's a healthstone on a 3 min cd
in general
Yeah because as we established I am using Dstance the WHOLE dungeon
So there is no need for anything else.
Its not an excuse
why wouldnt you use cd's ?
so you could be doing 10-15% more damage if you rotate defensives properly
i usually dont use mine when i save them for the next dungeon
My mind is coded in a disgusting way
Where I think healer is suppose to heal
so keep me up slave
I played Dota too much
to think healer is just another member of a team
why are you in dstance then
and not my personal salve
i dont like relying on ppl for shit
if healer can just heal you up
theres not even that much healers in dota
most supports are big CC huge early game damage blasters
the ones that arents isnt viable
Yeah. But when I played carry they had to pull creeps, stack my jungle AND fight off enemies
while I just clicked creeps
I hit Divine 3 that way :3
But to be honest with no jokes. I think I am using CDs just enough. Its just that CoS is extremely easy and I dont see the reason to press stuff.
wearing whetstone+ decoratrion 415 right now, is there any chance i use Hungering Pack 421 + Avoidance? other option would be upgrading 415 legs to 421. speakign für 23+ Keys
Aside from second boss what can even deal dmg in that dungeon, nothing really.
hungering pack is really good
ye its good but is it, i will be wearing it over Decoration/Whetstone/incarnate icon in 23+ Keys good 😄

i played a fun lil game that kinda made me use cds a lot more, just try to learn when cds will be usefull and keep the cooldown running in between shit myself moments
now if i dont use cds i feel yucky
Did they change it so that the 2 mini bosses before Hryja scale with fortified instead of tyrannical?
I just have weakauras that get annoying when I'm in combat and sw etc are off CD
When simming patchwerk, does that sim 50/50 you being the active tank or 100% you being the active tank? Thinking in regard to how accurate it is for Tough as Nails
i think its 100%?
I noticed some mdi prot running bolster. Can anyone explain the rationale?
probably for block uptime when running itf
Were they also running ITF? If they took that for extra damage bolster would even out block uptime.
More than likely it's for shorter CD on last stand considering the giga pulls they're doing.
That makes sense
Sim doesn’t simulate raid it simulates your character in a hypothetical scenario in witch case patchwork is you against 1 target for 5 minutes, so yes it would assume 100% uptime for tough as nails
Thank you
Also to help you solve your un asked question
You run tough as nails all the time unless you specifically need spell block
Yeah I'm already doing that. Just trying to eek out a few more dps for logs on irrelevant raid fight to have some fun.
Was thinking perhaps blooborne could be more dps as I only have boss 50% of the time
there is a use for spellblock in every dungeon so nowadays i do not use Tough as Nails
Ohhh you’re trying to parse
Yeah 2/2 blood borne is good damage
You can drop indomitable in farm content for an extra point
Also riskier but you can drop extra shield block duration also
Or shield wall cd
there are way to make it taunt off
but its not worth trying to do so
and bloodborne is pretty mid
Thinking of dropping Indomitable and Impenetrable wall and put it into bloodborne
Yep, nothing serious
yeah if you wanna parse
maybe thats the way
but at that point maybe just play full execute
juggernaut massacre SD
Mehhh I know some of the top logs do that but it feels ass to me
jug>ss one?
You right I did but still
like r u even gonna execute enough to make jug worth tho?
You are correct
I couldn’t get it to full stacks before boss dead lmao
Could be me just miss playing too
I don't think I'm going to have enough time to execute
Yeah I wouldn’t run the execute talents imo
bloodborne is a REALLY weak point
just fyi
it seems ok
but then you math it out
eh
massacre is great on farm tho
It is but you’re trading defensive talents you don’t need for some free damage
Better than 0
fairly sure there are just better damage talents
What u think guys, should go for next items Versa/Haste , or it is already overkill for Versa?

yikes
Delete Vers
^
question, in the recommended wowhead m+ build it states we should take "tough as nails" and not "spell block" i thought SB is better or more usefull for a lot of mobs, specially this week?
dungeon dependant
Run spell block until you learn where you don’t need it
realy? i saw on raider io soo many Tanks with even more versa. its so bad for us?
What's a good % of vers then if above 24% is too much?
Andy doing 26s with <10% Vers
haste is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good
I imagine you’ll be fine
anyone got a details screenshot of 23/24 ruby for overall? wanna compare our runs
no bv?
Nah you need BV
i just forgot
Drop punish
also do we open vault in fury or protection spec? or always fury because of dps trinkets?
Do you have a max ilvl shield?
no bloodsurge
TY for the Response, one more question. And what about Mastery?
bloodsurge on ST is not good
oh st
Not for raid
yea
nope but its my alt so i thought i can cover shield atm with crafted shield which could go up to 418 so until i reach 20 i thought that should cover shield part
ye ofc
Except council
^
All stats are good, just get haste if you can
Literally doesn’t matter that much
Crit just really good for m+ because it does more damage and also works out very well defensively with parry’s
Shield is your most important piece
parrying the bite bleed on brood is also pog
So I’d personally open as prot until you have a very high ilvl one
“ParrygodX”
Is unnerving focus really worth it?

No
is it referring to his demon spikes hunter?
Ty for the Info 🙂
ah ok but beside shield are there any tank trinkets that warrior specially wants? or just as most dps trinkets for chance like wheststone/grief etc. or are all-totem and scale as good?
Will try this tonight, see how I fare
Does stoneform work on burning wound for Eranog ?
I was about to post this witch is basically the same except juggernaut
If you can hit full stacks and maintain it juggernaut is worth it
Fortified + Tryannical = Mythic Rating for that specific dungeon?
hey how did this guy get 2 lusts https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/w92JLXTBVyGMfNKq#fight=10&type=casts&source=25
i just wanted to see what kind of cpm gets a top parse on this fight and it is 10 less than my best -_-
mine was 2:33
Trinkets? Talents the same?
hes got 6ilvl on me and better trinkets
same talents i think
but he also has 2 lusts
how do u get that
i got 2 more avatars /;
mastery is pretty dog if u wanna parse
I promise you, your parse has almost nothing to do with your stat spread
You are pretending mastery gives you 0 damage
ye, I am a little dramatic over mastery
He's not affected by the second lust
I'm pretty sure
he's not getting two lusts, it's just showing the mage's second personal lust
here's the warrior's buffs
Yeah and his dps would probably be like 20% lower if it was that long
Kill time matters a LOT
what're you spell blocking?
Just second boss I’d assume
Adds?
are they that aids or should be able to manage?
Second boss doesn’t have adds
the pulls around it
you can walk away from arcing slash
Uhhh kicks
everything else is random targeting that need kicks
ah
and you can't guarantee will shoot you
still higher than mine
it didnt feel like i had the rage to revenge > ss
i had equal casts
6ilvl and better trinkets do make a difference
talent diff?
need a cpm section for parsing smh
no
Granted I haven’t actually deep dived on these logs
idk why it's fuckin weird
you had 1 less revenge cast in a longer fight as well, have to take that into account
M+ parsing is not important, won't say I don't feel good when I see a 99
we both r
no
No
sim is meme?
people have been having issues w that
NO weap only better when compared to similar Ilvl weap
Quick question - I wonder what my best trinket combo for M+ is atm. I got 411 Whetstone, 402 Rumbling Ruby and 402 Decoration of flame.
I guess the question really is, if two on use trinkets are worth it ? 😄
yes it is worth it
whetstone+ruby
I don’t like it personally would prob just use the ruby
allright - cheers guys
no
No
Just bind both on use to your avatar
wow that's a terrible idea
and youll get uptime on both of them. Avatar CD is like 45 seconds, the CD between them is 30 seconds.
?
My avatar lines up with my whetstone/hoof most of the time anyways
It won't line up every time and you'll have potential gaps for no reason
Then just press it
and you lose the ability to use boon or grief or whatever else without just wasting some time on avatar
Yeah but if you.. just press it then you may as well bind it to another button
and press that instead
isnting boon or brief trolling anyways lol
Nah they're good
Boon and grief are two niche examples of trinkets that shouldn't be bound to avatar
Wrecking Throw is a nice talent for Raz
aoe interrupt is good for dathea
there's some aoe talents you might want for primal
that's all I can really think of
alright thank you
Why?
guaranteed to troll yourself sooner than later
do u like randomly being rooted
well there u go
I’m using DS+Av+Hoof
As it don’t have a cast time, is not a bad thing with the booming voice line up, isn’t it?
Is bad to use avatar in trinkets that have cast time for the time lost on it, it’s what you mean?
I use avatar as I charge in the pack, so demo would hit nothing
same
Also don’t wanna boon randomly.
Here I’m still confused
Or at the end of boss with trash pull ahead
Yes since trinkets aren't affected by cooldowns like avatar, if you use a trinket with a CD while avatar/demo is running, you're wasting them
tho I think it's a thing that arms or fury players do
Is that a bad opener?
puzzle box + ava
How a good opener should look like?
Charge -> avatar -> shield block -> rotational shit
In packs, I change Ss with Tc
If your first gcd in the pack is demo + avatar you risk your group getting insta aggro
yeah don't demo first thing, you need to put some damage down
No it’s charge+Ss or Tc
Then DS+Av
Avatar as you charge is more dmg on first clap
And then rotational
First few gcds are most important for threat
I only have threat issues with evokers
And my friends are monkeys, especially when i pull big
But I can improve the opener for more dmg, for sure
Now I’m hoping to get a good decoration to use instead of rumbling ruby
Lookup what jakeyplops ran on Warcraftlogs for that fight
any good ideas for aggro issues with evoker burst - theres times i fell like its impossible....
ruby live pool first boss add spawn
i did pre ravager on ground use whetstone dragon roar -tc an half of them run through an hit / kill evoker mate...
Aoe taunt
Sounds like your mate is an idiot
That too
Add damage is pad
wodda
should be hard tunneling boss
Yea leave padding for the tanks
kekw
This guy gets it
let ur evoker die his problem
i feel safer with the adds no me on that boss than no adds ngl
ez leech
adds legit heal u kekw
but the evoker probs was holding breath screeching just to pop off cds
avg evoker brain
Hope he learned a lesson
y its pretty crappy his freeking cd does like 4 strong aoe hits insta and with the way evoker mastery works it deals just way to much dmg in like 1 global - the boss was just an example its a lot of times i have problems with even is he holds for 2 gcds...
impossible
Mmmm I have issues with evokers, but only if they press everything at once and in large packs
In boss, with 2gcd of advantage, is really strange
hey im pretty new to tanking. Just wondering if you guys still shield slam even if you're rage capped or close to rage capped
Would you guys stick to the socketed rings?
Yes and you shouldn't be near rage cap
well sometimes in big mobs and ravager is going i hit cap at same time shield slam procs
should i be using IP more to avoid that?
cool thanks
i was thinking about doing a bunch of 2-5 keys on repeat to get weapon 411, its haste versa out of academy
3000 valor if i wanna do the one in my bags to 411, 15 runs, all have to have the bonus
go for 16+ to get the upgrade 418 for belt and other future crafted items and farm some valir alonge the way - gi as high as you are comfortable with to get good weekly voults 😉
Could not get passed tree boss on a 17. I was getting blamed for not grabbing adds fast enough? Usually I drop ravager, thunderclap, run around spamming revenge, and dodging germinate swirls. Still got flamed- any tips here?
i also have 1 spark i can make into a 405
Why is RLP so hard this week 😦
AoE taunt on the second group right after they germinate.
bring a dk and tell him to spec grabby hands and then to use it on the each second cast of adds helps ALOT with that fight
I’m guessing everyone should stay loosely stacked for germinate
everyone stacks on the tank then you move together around the boss
otherwise, you have to get the first wave a bit together, doesn't matter too badly but on second one, you HAVE to have them packed up, and then you do your big taunt and aoe stuns, maybe fears if they are stunned and snared/slow too
yeah. fair. checked the interrupts and the other melee, a dh, only had a third of my interrupts
then you do DR cooldowns shuffle and cleanse from healer, till those awoken adds die
the branch the big add when it dies, it puts out a ring, that heals him, but i've left him in it on a 15 i think and he healed for maybe 1-3% of his hp
so, you can almost ignore that part of that add
DK is still the best option on the boss, hands down, no questions
Probably don’t forget you can always shocking disclosure one of the germinates for easy threat
Cheers. I also had 3 mages in this group, so everyone was a bit spread out
And no reason to run around revenging. Avatar+TC should snap the adds right to you when you don’t have ravager.
Revenge is secondary to TC
Wasn’t helping- I don’t think dps stopped dps to let me grab aggro
im not sure i'd call every 5 seconds 9k dmg reliable for threat
but yeah, i guess so
Could even hold outburst for a big TC if you feel like you really can’t do much
Are you doing this after they awaken or while they are spawned?
When they awake and are running around
except for ilvl, and few choice trinkets, i'm really happy with my gear
You underestimate how much AoE threat that potion can give. It’s uncapped vs reduced beyond x mobs. It’s also passive, requires no aiming, and is simply a supplement to your other abilities.
Yea if you’ve got range sitting out in range it’s a them problem if mobs don’t get stacked, but if ravager, Avatar+TC, shocking disclosure, thunderous roar, shield charge, and AoE taunt aren’t enough rotating them out then you probably are either doing it too early or doing some incredibly wrong assuming they are stacked up a reasonable amount. You’ve got a lot at your disposal to rotate around with though so just use it wisely.
why isnt fueled by violence taken over brutal vitality when you have 4 piecE?
4pc makes brutal vit better, why would you drop it then
Damn I realised I'm throwing by not saving my Thunderous Roar for the adds on Mythic Eranog
Just looked at nomes eranog kill vs mine and he gets literally 4x the dps on TR
Gotta know when to pad to get good parses I guess
Palas make a key safer to time, not better
i got r6 eragon today

but i fucked up a boon use and didnt have any potions

Damn I'm jealous
only paladins allowed
but did they even get changes
ive been preaching that pally will be better since launch
no holy power on avengers shield 
Sentinel is fuckin' nuts
but because im not a top streamer my opinion doesnt matter
those bdk buffs next patch though
divine toll feels amazing too
satisfying af
I left my paladin on another realm years ago, might make another one since I do miss it
having to do over 100 16+ to regear a toon atm though
like, nothing will come close to pally
Not sure atm but after the initial tree change they are significantly worse off
primal focus should be acc wide
No it shouldn't
same Nome no one listens to the ppl that actually put in the time to know
Like fixing ret had consequences of fucking prot's tree up
But I'm sure they'll clean it up in time
surely
youre trolling
No?
It was legit broken for prot when they implemented it that day
they need heavy nerfs
They'll nerf it ofc
Half the nodes didn't work
aoe shield block, never forget
Paladins and bugs go hand in hand initially anyway
Hello friends! Trinket question: Horn of valor or fully trained haste ruby whelp shell? Assume same ilvl.
Horn no good
How good is prot pala damage compared to ours?
Damn then there's no reason for me to not go home
Regardless of how hard they get nerfed, at least seraphim won’t exist anymore
And I can be a tauren, pog.

Let's just all re-roll to Disco-Bear.
Everyone likes the feeling of having to butt-clench every time any mechanic comes their way, right?
Druid is the class I wish I enjoyed
god bless you
Guard druid is what I started this xpac with.
if youre playing guardian
I swapped him to boomy and then I meta-chased to Prot warrior
Wishing I did my BDK instead.
This is the FIRST xpac eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer playing warrior for me
I don't like bdk at all
its okay
This is probably an unpopular opinion...
But initially GATHERING adds and getting agro is so much easier on Bear than on Prot...
cant wait for guardian tank in ashes of creation, they have warrior charge and dk grip
Ello Ello. So Im a bit confused on what gear I should keep equipped.
I currently have the Frostfire belt (405) and the Eranog and Broodkeeper rings equipped. 408 and 418)
Obviously Eranog's ring and Frostfire belt do not have haste. I have the raid belt, converted into Matching tier which gives it haste, sitting at 411ilvl, Obvious answer to keep that belt, but it breaks the combo of the rings and belt. So should i Keep the eranog ring equipped or use a 405 crafted ring with Haste on it? Overall a 600 haste loss if I keep the Frostfire/raid ring combo equipped
I do not have access to Condensed Infusions yet, so is the 6ilvl increase from the raid belt WITH haste out weigh the frostfire/raid ring combo? What is the best combo of items to compensate for it?
2084 haste/ 8074 Strength/22584 Stamina with Frostfire/raid ring combo
3885 Haste/ 8095 Strength/ 22681 Stamina with the Converted raid belt, Broodkeeper ring, and 405 Crafted ring with haste
Twin Moons and Swipe / Thrash being spammable is just super easy for gathering and clustering mobs.
But that's the only thing that I like about my bear lol
when you have the balance yd talent, all you need to do is zugzug claw everything and armor up
Not sure what balance yd talent is tbh
i have 424 belt and 431 broodkeer ring. would it be worth to get the frostfire belt?
Would just sim this, probably the raid rings, perfect stats don't make that much of a difference to us
I’ve not really ever had an issue
Thats fair, I read somewhere which could mean really nothing that we want to strive for 30% (4300+) Haste I'll try simming each combo
we don't have any magical breakpoints or anything
For sure didn't say it's hard 🙂
Bear is the easiest cuz they have free aoe
Bad source
That is also spammable
Besides it’d be like 40% haste unbuffed before you even consider not grabbing more haste
Valid, lol Cant remember where I read this at this point, Thanks
30% is where the first diminishing returns kick in but it's not serious til 40%
I've simmed 5 targets 1,2, and 3 minutes and a 5 minute single target to try to straighten out trinkets but the results have just made it more confusing because I've got sims supporting each trinket. Could I get some opinions on 408 All totem vs 415 hoof to pair with 415 whetstone?
Thanks, hit a comfortable 30+ before I started replacing with heroic gear, sitting around 27% without the frostfire/raid ring combo, 20% with the combo, big drop I'll just Sim it. Was just freaking out losing that much haste in one drop
Can you still Intervene to the one being chased on Fenryr in HoV?
all totem for m+
hes lvl 50 with a terrible transmog and a zanda troll
with whetstone
The past few times I tried, they end up being hit anyway
they cant move.
it still works but they need to stand next to you
intervene "range" is very small
hi what is better Neck on 418 or Belt 418?
hi i hv a question, for mythic Kurog, does berserker rage works against the slow in last phase?
@lofty widget Would hoof and whetstone be the go to on a single target raid fight?
Primal Molten Greatbelt recraft 418 or Elemental Lariat to 418 wich is better
icon + whetstone or grief.
of those 3 yes, but there are better options
@lofty widget i've got a 395 icon. It sims less than the 415 hoof / whetstone on single target but I'm assuming the benefits to the raid may outweigh that?
Awesome thanks to both of you! /bow
Don't need to leap, just walk away from it, like 5 yds
Spell Reflect 1
Then Storm Bolt another
SHockwave
Intimidating Shout
If in pugs, then you can start kiting.
can outrange it as theyre casting
Speaking of outrange, does that work for the BattleAxe on Algeth'Ar?
no
In AV, have any of you tried jumping down and snapping the 4 lashers prior to the 1st boss? Would that work?
They'd probably just go down the stairs since there's a path.
For me sometimes it does. And I don’t know why. If u mean the bleeding
you can parry it
Last pack Jade, the Claw ability absolutely wrecks
How deal
Can reflect, but that's just one
what classes have a soothe
rogue, hunter, druid
Outrange possible?
spellblock good
Don’t face tank. Spell block can only help a little but at the end of the day just kite it
Yeah
The little adds that spawn from the big one don’t hurt as much so don’t kill yourself trying to get aggro
So the claws are outrange-able?
8yd range iirc.
I believe dark claw is 8 yards
It is:
N1
Curious as to what alliance race people think is the best. I have done independant research but am curious on peoples opinions
between reflect, spellblock, + stops and wall i dont feel a need to kite
Hey, so I just entered a 20s so I started to log myself, https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2xqT7AYCFBgPptZ4/#fight=last&type=summary can you check please?
Dorf
But Horde > Alliance
dwarf unarguably is the best rn
Dwarf
Stoneform OP
LMAO idk if yall been doing this
But I move out every spell reflect CD abit from 2nd boss to trigger the spellcast
Probs im late to the train
nokhud? yeah
and lets you pick up the orbs easily
Pulled big single target dps the dpsers were mad lmao
So just move out of melee to trigger the cast and that’s that?
I believe in magic
Damn I’m real late to the party, thank you both for the tech
ye and slight movin out is ehough to trigger it
get back in right away
if it casts a 2nd time its rip
😄
Ty ty
its also a relatively quick cast
Understood
ok thanks
if you use boon and then avatar, does it let you move?
No
why do people take seismic reverberation on M kurog? i feel theres not enough time with 3+ targets to make it worth
is barbaric training not just better tho?
@warm plinth relevant nickname
to me doesnt seem bad, exactly the right amount of rage for violent outburst
im just looking at wcl top prot warriors, lots run it idk
Barb was cracked in prepatch cuz of banner
specifically looking at kurog btw
Feel a lot more rage starved with it. I never run it except primal council
I think he’s talking about kurog raid
mhm just kurog
seems better value then seismic reverberation
Lol seismic reverb is literally free though
but theres only that one phase where u can potentially get 3+ i mean if u say its worth ill rock it
Yeah seismic is assentially free point
and i think ur prob right if we proggin it prob shouldnt BT it lol


Yo I’m a new tank and this week in m+ feels a lot harder, that normal with fortified and enraging? I’m not doing crazy pulls, but I’m dying a lot more this week in low teen keys like 13s 14s
yes
fort raging is the single hardest week for tanks in the game
entirely normal to feel weaker this week
well you might be crazy but this week is hard yeah
it can be made a lot easier if dps helps out and you have soothes on the team
but if dps is just blindly blasting it's rough
You get me
+1 on the soothes
bring druids and hunters
all of them
evoker
I think you mean on healers 🤠
has aoe enrage dispell
my god
is it fort rage again?
My healer is a druid and has been helping, but I haven’t ran with any other druids or hunters.. or evoker.. I’ll give that a shot thanks
These affixes certainly have forced me to learn more haha
it's also up to the dps to know which mobs have a totally deadly cast if it's allowed to sit in raging range unsoothed
Am I trolling if I’m in defensive stance perma in dungeons
Or is it just lazy
5real i want vers flask for raid that would save so much gold lol
any of you loveable tanky bois that got a sec to help me?
if u have logs link em
could always sim ur vault
i did,
but im curious what u got send it
woah
yes, its super easy to figure out, if glacial fury does less dmg than 3.7% of your overall, vers does more
418 back imo
why do u have wrecking throw?
i'm super tempted to take the ruby, but i'm in the spot where to "continue" to tank for my guild when we go mythic next week, i gotta hit 405ilvl avrage
rest cna be easily upgraded to 415
oh cause just done raza prog xD
perfect
):
îd take cloak
I would also take cloak
you can always get ruby to drop
about how much mastery do i want to have these days. does it vary from AoE vs ST ?
sitting @ 413 item lvl. ik it sorta depends on playstyle. just curious peoples thoughts.
There are no stat requirements for any stat.
str >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> haste >>> crit
only real arguments you could make for playstyle difference is giving more weight to vers over crit if you're pushing top top end, otherwise it's not important
vers is irrelevant for top end
str is bis in top end
if u can get 415 with all mastery gear as soon as mythic raid comes out ur gucci
vers disrespecters only
^
Does it matter which gem you have in your Lariat?
only the shiniest
reading comprehension is never a strong point is it
i never made a comment about STR, the only "debate" is crit over vers, and in top end, they value vers
where most ppl gain more from crit
who is they
Is it now we nag blizz to nerf pala?
100%
feel free to look at gem and crafted gear choices of the top rio players
the only area where you have true agency over stat selection
they all go w/ haste and vers
where most people outside of that bubble will probably still go with crit over vers
anyways, my point is that stats are hardly important because if you're in the group that needs them to be that specific you already dont need to ask that question
I see a mix of crit and vers on the top tanks
andy and taezir are both vers where they can get it
nerf is mostly vers, with a couple crit
bobas vers, palclap vers
taezir also has 85% blocked hits on his highest logged rlp
and?
that would make anyone feel like they need more vers
yea, totally
??????
85% is fine, most of the blocked hits are when gathering pulls
but only that
youd be surprised
so poorly you choose vers because you can't block when you should be?
until a few days ago he didnt know that he needed to deal dmg during taunt to keep threat
nice
he also casted more tc than ss which is a lil strange id think
maybe some rlp big pull tech i could see it
Honestly, tanking is so much easier than DPSing once stuff starts happening.
Healing is the worst
yeah surely they wouldn't be able to time sbg 27 with a prot warrior
It was a joke
need i remind people that majority of the high end community, and alot of the casuals complained about pwar being way too strong and it needing nerfs?
and now despite no tuning happening, people suddenly switch their opinionin
thankfully we were only nerfed 5 times
we were nerfed 7 times, 5 times during beta
jeez
2 times minorily on live
yer 7 in total
and people still called for more nerfs
idk bro #1 tank is prot pally with 5% vers
ergo vers trash
🙂
mastery is a better vers for palas
andy was doing r1 keys with 10% vers, nerf was doing r1 keys with 8% vers
on their warriors
stop coping that its mandatory
even current r1 only has 13% vers
it doesnt matter
Prolly just playing with it to see if it makes any sort of difference
i never said it was mandatory, again, i only said that at that end you can make the justification to prio that over crit in the "crit/vers" portion of our stat prio list
can you though?
whats the most dangerous things we face in high keys?
dying
things you dont use CDs against 🙂

big if true
under proper play*
getting 7% damage reduction or not, wont save you if you make a mistake 🙂
and guess what happens if you go 1 key level higher
you take 10% more dmg
resulting into your vers buffer being entirely gone
things do more damage with shield wall up in a 27 than without shield wall in a 20 tho it's not the same game and while crit is nice it does nothing against a lot of damage
my point remains true
It sure does
crit does VERY much against alot of damage
cuz the most dangerous pulls for tanks are large pulls
where melee dmg is 90% of all dmg taken
removing 30% outright from that, is very much a big deal
Does temple always pump out so much damage?
that's not the thing that kills warriors
i know you're not that bad at math though Nom, to argue it does nothing isnt accurate, and that vers reduction is 10% more reduction in a key that does 10% more dmg, you dont get to compare 0% vers in a 26 to 7% vers in a 27
on fort raging weeks, yes.
you wont survive without using CDs properly
it still results in less dmg though in all areas we're weak, whereas crit absolutely does reduce our dmg taken a lot, its also primarily in areas we're already strong
"in all areas we're weak"
bro youre acting as if there was alot of unmitigatable magic dmg in keys
in all areas period i supose
Got hit for 310k dmg from two mobs in an instant. Was like what just happened
top rated warriors are just as susceptible to groupthink as anyone, they just play the most and have the most consistent teams
if you dont have CDs that thing will kill you even on low keys
especially on raging
Never noticed until this 14
a fort raging dark claw on a 16 temple gapped me
cuz i was sleeping
carrying a friends alt
dark claw is like .79 cast or something goofy
You get what you deserve!
dark claw is the name of my new metal band
First time trying to tank a key at that level so was unprepared
and yet the majority of dmg taken is physical
just because we're strong vs smth doesnt mean you can just say "okay well ill pretend it doesnt exist"
thats not how it works
sustained mitigated damage isn't what kill tanks ever especially at that level of play
and tank stats isnt what times keys at those levels
tank survival is the lowest factor in ultra keys
cuz their survival is managed by proper CD management and group play
it might save you when crit probably won't which is the whole point
lmao

not really my point tbf
it's more about smoothing some dmg curves is all im saying, something that it can do
but to your point, since its binary, you dont need it if you dont need it
doesnt mean it's not useful though
no, im saying youre putting way too much faith into a stat
the wow community has gaslit themselves over years to believe that vers is the end all be all stat for highkeys for tanks
when thats not true
that's not what i even said though
im literally talking about the difference between these two things
STR>>> Haste >>> Crit/Vers >>>> Mastery
STR>>> Haste >>> Vers/Crit >>>> Mastery
Don't you get more damage mitigation from crit?
im something of a mastery man myself
Only on physical tho*
mastery chads report in
technically speaking, yes across a key crit is defensively stronger
I am going crit mastery
but people dont like that statement
Magic damage and bleeds are more dangerous though as a prot warrior
a warrior of culture
also, fwiw, my shit is all crit/haste, so its not like im here advocating and stacking vers
90% of bleeds are parrayble fwiw
taking those things naked is what kills you
you need to be prepared to use CDs against what youre weak against
That sweet sweet feeling
making a shift in stats wont change that
I don't think I have ever blocked the bleed from the last boss in Nokhud. And I avoid AA like the plague
last boss Nokhud bleed is w/e
Though I might not have the presence of mind to notice
you use your CDs there and youre fine
AA is probably my favorite dungeon when it's not explosive wk
@strong forum It was the first dungeon I started doing high keys on with shit gear
I just farmed Nokhud
Best dungeon, fight me
It's a fun dungeon tbh
i enjoyed nokhud in 5tank ALOT
cuz you dont need to worry about dps
getting hit by 1 singular arrow
you just omega chain
Changed my talents around got a better block tracker big improvements, thanks for shitting on me I needed it
wasnt me but have a 
Neltharus is gonna be ass
to circle back to this for 1 argument
how do you think math works
just curious
cuz a 27 does in fact not do 4x the dmg of a 20
it does double the damage and shield wall is less than a 50% dr
200% *0,6=120%>100%
ye guess u rite

nokhud has been fine for me ever since we learned where to fly to avoid the last boss trash
i'm sure it's annoying for casters though with so much arbitrary ground shit
i've heard that's most of DF so far actually
They should make first trash focus tank over ranged
no, don't make me think
i mean most trash should focus tank over dps in general imo
the whole point of DF dungeon design is to make it so that the tank is not the thing dying
at least DF isnt as bad as SL in that way imo
which i initially enjoyed
but now im more drawn towards playing healer cuz tanking is boring
True but, it also forces you to have two ranged there, one range is deadge
i feel useless
well just make the tank kits work that way instead of dungeons
tanking is about control imo
and the less in my control the more i dislike it
yeah
Def better than SL
like hunter mobs that not only wont move with you, they wont even move unless the ENTIRE party is out of LoS
its why i hate DKs because i feel like if they didnt exist these problems may not had lasted as long as they have
We went from "please please just kick anything" to "how did you guys died"
lol yea
but again, just bake that into our kit instead of making the dungeons chain cast on a hunter that has negative defensives
and on the kit side of things i think we've moved FAR down a good direction
just give me a bleed removal
Or set a targeting dr, like, one player can't be the same target over 5s and only targeted by one mob or something
(dont say dwarf)
or make it affected by armor
the tanks with less armor handle the bleed better anyways
just make it so theyre actually tankable by tanks that arent BDK
drop the human krotos
yea
embrace the beard
cuz lmao bloodshield works vs bleeds
i'm Ztroll now lmao
cuz its still physical
but if they ever make a draconid race im swapping day 1
ohno
i hate playing dracthyr
the buff one
its so terrible
yea draconid not dracthyr
they're fun to play, but i hate that they look like ppl in furry suits
make evoker not turn into a scuffed lizard and i'm playing it
you need to abuse toys
24/7
otherwise youll go insane
cuz also your weapon is useless
perma hidden otherwise
should let people have something similar to boomie glyph of the stars
They simply have to bring back dragon knight from dota, he's basically a dracthyr on roids
New tank spec
Boom
i just want that image above, and keep them huge
we have like 4 tiny races, give us more big ones
Make bwomsamdi buff do damage
also maybe ones that can use shoes
Also warriors should canonically be able to cast bloodlust
tbh the girly hips (same as nelf male) are what bothers me the most
pretty sure the tops of my femurs are touching
Raging fortified temple
what the hell
It's a new kind of hell i didn't know existed
evoker cheese the raging
Just LoS shades 
can you actually los?
