Depends entirely on the healer. If it's a Druid I've never had orbs on me. If it's a Paladin I have to run like crazy.
im under the impression that nobody knows how the orbs work.. I've stood still as much as I could in every key.. and still 9/10 times get chased
I’ve heard so many umbrelskul theories that hold up for one attempt and then not the next one
At this point I’m kinda convinced it’s pure random targeting
i alt a resto druid and sometimes even with 10 stacks i cant get them to follow me
so i think its random as well*
is fear not worth taking?
always take fear
its a good button if you are a good player 🙂
i solved the problem of is inting fear shout a bad button
it's probably me being 5head and missing something but why does hryja sometimes do about 5 damage but then other times do 700k with her frontal?
Sounds like sometimes you're accidentally stacking IP and defensives and other times you're not.
Time for some rucking on the stairmaster baby
i feel like eranog trinket sucks but i donno what else to use
Yeah decoration is not very good
i guess i can use whetstone
should be good for aggro too
i used decoration on DPS for a bit
i was too low ilevel
and decoration also procced fire rings
oh
for revival catalyst, will it really only let me do 6 pieces on a single character?
You can only accumulate 6 charges at one time
If you spend a charge, you can accumulate another with your next weekly turn-in
okay, is it the renascent lifeblood?
Yes
do I have a UI bug? it says I have 3, but the catalyst charges is still red
yeah, it says 3 here, but in the console 0, so im guessing i have only picked up 3 so far or something
Use this script: /dump C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(2167).quantity
That'll tell you how many you have on that toon
/dump C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(2166).quantity will tell you how many you've accumulated total.
kk, thanks!
i'm assuming that total there is probably how many you've accumulated
^ yeah thats right
is stance dancing worth it in prot?
We don't really stance dance per se. We mostly stay in battle stance outside of a few situations where the DR is more important.
thats what i thought, i generally jump into defensive stance when i know big damage is coming, or if im out of cd's/resources
Generally there are some tankbusters/boss fights where it's not a bad idea to be in defensive stance (hyrja, first boss of AV, 2nd boss of RLP, Crawth in AA)
okay cool thats ab what i thought, guild was telling me to stay in defensive stance at all times bc big streamer X or Y doesnt use battle stance
theres a warrior in my guild whos saying more haste is better no matter way up to around 6900 haste, this is for keys and raid. is that the case? im currently at 3.05k crit, 3.47k haste, 1.6k mast and 2.9k vers, do i need to stack more haste for raid/keys? or is what i have currently fine? im currently doing mythic terros/sennarth prog and pushing 21/23 keys
What you have is fine, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. We don't really stop stacking haste until 7k haste which is when the next DR tier starts. For damage that may not be the case, but haste will remain your best defensive secondary.
should i start to convert all my stats to haste prio such as gems and enchants? or does it matter if i cant hit that 7k? which i dont think anyone can yet?
Yeah you can't hit 7k haste right now, not realistically anyway. But yes your gems and enchants and such should generally be haste (or in the case of gems, haste + x)
Thanks for the info
You should ask him about it
Or tell the raid leader to ask him about it
Oh, that's pretty shit, sorry man
Well if it's a pug, you shouldn't expect people to not be assholes
Have had people need roll on tank trinkets and shields when they have 0 io as tank and 0 raid boss kills as tank but hey, that's pugs
At this point I only do raid for vault
dw the absolute dogshit druid healer who left my last raid during council (who I had to beg to get back so we could get the most god-awful kill ever)
got icon
rolled a 97
"I prefer playing my monk" he said as an excuse for not coming back
The raid loot system is dogshit and archaic and needs to be revamped, I'll fight anyone on this
so far I've had grieftorch (heroic), eranog ring x2, and icon x1 lost and it's always taken by the worst performers
My friend's still stuck with broodkeeper normal trinket too
Don't worry, in a non-pug i've also lost those multiple times.

Yeah I'm not really trying to say I deserve the loot, it's just a system that inherently feels bad
@ionic fern hi ily
Vault is the only thing that makes it worth raiding unless you're doing it with a guild
Good morning Stop Using Barbaric Training, how are you?
Imo they should just like
Give you tokens for clearing raid content that you can eventually spend on specific pieces of gear
BACK TO DKP'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, gimme the dateha neck for mount 😂
With ingame suport 🙂
In vanilla molten core nobody got anything except those druids who got full T1 in a single run - every week…
How do we increase the amount ignore pain reduces? My cap is 153k atm but when I used mainstat potion giving me like 660 more strength it stayed at 153k?
Always hated it tbf, at least it wasn't bad when I was raiding with a guild back in Legion
It caps at 30% of your max hp, presumably base max hp before buffs
ahhh okay. Does strength increase our survivability at all then?
it's the best stat
Not base. Just general.
neat
How does strength increase our survivability?
Yes. Strength works into Vanguard.
What's vanguard?
@ionic fern Do you have an AA22 Log I can compare to mine?
It's a passive we have which increases our Armor by 100% of our Strength.
@sick sentinel
oh cool
lol I'm good. The nickname has been very successful. I've gotten multiple DMs asking about it. I am converting people
You should compare to someone who actually knows how to play.
😂
Never played barbaric training, seems kinda troll to increase rage cost by 50% for a 25% dmg increase
It is troll
And it's not even a big damage increase in the scenarios that you use it
Maybe i have, maybe not.
Honestly i can't remember.
You can check.
Guess what i'm playing on Diurna tho.
Time to go stalk Mwahi

Parsers gotta parse
You are such a person, me not. Me bad 😦
Thx
Balloons are fun
One of my biggest problems this season is that I waste rage (what I never did in SL), while having the feeling I smash as fast as I can and CPM looks also fine I think.
Will compare to your when back home. wCL on mobile is bad 😂
imagine parsing like this and saying you don't know how to play
stop sandbagging

🎈🎈🎈
See, there's a difference.
To you maybe i'm playing well.
But to me i'm playing poorly when comparing to Sense for example.
I can't post my logs here or no one will ever listen to a word I say ever again

To.. me? You're objectively playing well to parse fucking 4th on kurog
Yeah you're not #1 but no one defines "good" as #1
I feel the same when I read what Sense, Tatt, Pika or Nome is doing
sorry let me swap that
I wanna get better ranks but we're not re-killing anymore.
Just progressing and extending Diurna.
😦
Have to keep telling yourself you're trash in order to improve.

I agree on that point
I wanna get a good parse on M Eranog and Council but man
Pugs won't let me pad on the adds on eranog
and council is just a shitshow so I'm too busy freaking out to do good damage
Je, Eranog parsing is a nightmare.
flame dance SLAPS
Everything dies soooo fast.
Hard to figure out what I'm doing wrong tho or if it's just a group thing
We fucking lusted on the wall add
Check casts.
instead of the boss itself

I was like "we don't need to do that."
Then we got to the wall and it had 30% hp by the time we got squished
I should have just kicked everyone and made a new group
Pugging indeed is a nightmare.
Because Council did not go well
You're pressing IP a lot more than me
🤔
But I'm not wasting much rage
IP = damage by reducing avatar cooldown tho, right?
Yes.
You press IP to avoid ragecapping.
Which feeds into AM.
If you're not pressing IP as much as me, what's the SS/TC casts like?
I wasted 3 rage oh no
Welcome to my world… working on 22 atm
I think he's comparing Raid.
Eranog Mythic
Ah
If you're not wasting rage and you're casting less IPs than him, then my initial guess is that you aren't pressing your abilities enough.
Your log, my log.
Damage done->Targets(to check add damage)
Casts (to check CPM).
More revenge = more shield slam = more rage = more revenge 
Would give a quick overview.
Classic yam smh
Yeah that got me from an 82->88 parse with a significantly longer fight
So maybe in my next group with a bloodlust at the start I'll get above 92 or something
I am shooting for the stars

Tbh that's probably why my council dps is so low too
Pressing IP too much instead of Revenge
Oh ya.
I swear I got out of that habit tho, maybe I just need to think harder
Council is a full on TC/Revenge pad.
And also a "play this weird talent build" fight.
Yeah 9.3 IP on council, 6 minute fight btw
I'd like to play your weird talent build if you know what I mean
tbh my parse got ruined by everyone dying
Just run grieftorch then parse gets improved by everyone dying
people died too fast for me to get many extra casts from it hehe
But yeah grieftorch is great in pugs
That fight is such a shitshow though
I'm jk btw don't listen to me on raid things
Literally had this demon hunter get mark and walk away from the group.. and then back onto me and the cotank and some other people
I literally can't even tell you what Kurog looks like
much less what to do on the fight
:(
Uh oh, you've upset Mwahi

Ez ban
I can't even parse as good with an op trinket
I got my grieftorch from the fuckin 5/5 Mythic dungeon weekly chest btw
same day as I got whetstone
GO HOME HE SAID!
😄

I'm too nice for that.

I know, you're a nice boi
I know what I have to do
I should use Barbaric Training 🤔
That way, pressing Revenge ACTUALLY spends enough rage
and I'll press IP less by default
Trick yourself.
Genius
On council I press SS/TC/Revenge fairly evenly
I should prob SS less too?
Maybe only procs?
B-but you have 30% more tclap/revenges than SS
My Council parse is garbage.
I keep dying there.
Check some of the top logs and compare to them.
There you go calling a #41 parse garbage again
Aight nome did 70 SS 71 Revenge 57 TClap
I'm sensing some real imposter syndrome from Mwahi tonight
@shut summit can you tell Mwahi he's a good woyer
I'm still tilted. Some weeks ago i had R1 possibility on Council.
BUT I MONGOD AND DIED.
How do you die on council?

I fell in the lava once, so..
You have all the bosses on you, go clean blizzard, get smacked in the back from Opa.
Oh yeah I guess that can happen
I made it a thing to just leap to the lava and charge back
People fucking grief me when I try to run to it
and they yoink it like 5x and I get frozen
I think you can do it without losing a gcd
Well I guess charge inherently loses one
But it gives rage so as long as you don't waste it's probably ok?
Real play is AoE taunt , smack the raid with the Flame frontal, get rid of your blizzard.
It would also reset your Grief since someone would probably die.
Anywhere I can find a list of what Spell Block actually blocks ?
In the pins
that reminds me
@ionic fern did you know that both arms and fury have the updated reflect sheet in their section of #268491842637660160 but prot doesn't lol
Ty will check it out
Sorry, i'm a fury main.
Don't care about noob prots.
Don't @ me
How is execute boring
You EXECUTE
Brother
You're dropping mf'ing guillotines on their asses
Okay, so I guess Dark Claw its spell blockable.
How does spell block work tho ? Is it 100% chance or also based on regular block chance ?
tbf fury is as boring as it can be, started fury with rasza prog and literally almost fell asleep in p1, 2nd evening i went arms and had much more fun
DoTs cannot be blocked
as arms you pretty much spam aswell
And bleeds
To each their own.
To me, Arms is a snoozefest.
by the time you hit M+ 20 and higher, do you sit in defensive stance a lot, or still go in battle stance mostly and just switch to defensive where you're feeling more pain than usual?
ye i dont feel like it is, you either reducing your CS cd or optimize the ToM window
Damage reduction works on everything @rain kestrel
There may be a few things that Demo Shout won't work on but I don't think there's anything relevant in this expansion. Things that are sourced from the environment, not the actual boss, would not be decreased by demo shout.

No. 20's you don't sit in dstance pretty much at all.
On 22's i tend to swap to dstance for some spicy abilities depending on weeks.
hm. ok. just tanked my first 21 and it was pretty painful. but it was RLP too, so I didn't expect otherwise.
haven't pushed in to tougher keys as a tank before this season so just trying to be a little better.
New to prot, is there a way to sim?
is there anything like tank notes updated for dragonflight M+?
For DPS you can sim.
For damage, yes.
Not that i'm aware of.
Is the pinned Message about “IMO current best M+ spec, still the bees knees ?
Yes
No one can sim tankiness and anyone who claims they can is lying.
BiS for defense is ilevel
You play well. 🙂
M+ can be simmed by simming aoe patchwerk (generally 5-10 targets) and ST patchwerk and using your judgment from there (for damage).
for those of you who run double shield wall, what is the cd of wall approximately in m+?
1.30 ish afaik
okay, considering taking it for TJS but wanted to know the difference since ive literally only ever run the other choice on that node for every key so far this xpac lol
is it possible to get 3 walls in p2 of 3rd boss TJS? I can get 2 with the cdr talent
well avg cd with wall is 1 min, but since you start with 2 charges its probably possible?
am isnt really a flex point tho
correct
i mean yeah, you always have am
i meant without wall and still am
just talking strictly defender's aegis vs impenetrable wall
SW-Spell Block - Spell Block - SW - SW
You really shouldn't have more than like...3 strikes though. Maybe 4 on tyrannical but in that case you wouldn't have 3 walls anyway.
Nice joke.
😄
24 tyrann last week i got 6 😦
😱
Exernal+SR+DS?
used SR on 1/3/5, demo shout somewhere, got external on 3
Well with 6 strikes, that's like what, 80 seconds with 1st at 0 seconds. So you're still only going to have 2 walls, not 3
rough
So you'd have to do something like Demo+SR+IV first, Wall 2nd, Spell Block 3 and 4, Demo+SR+IV 5, Wall 6
i think maybe the best cooldown for 6 is just "battle rez me"
Can use last stand in there somewhere too, probably on one of the spell block ones
And use healing pot on the other Spell block one
You can use def stance for each one too if needed
i def stance all of them for sure
So you'd do like, IV with 3rd, LS with 4th, then IV will be back for 5
And then you could use heal pot with one fo the wall ones
of*
And obviously external would be in there somewhere
in RLP, do u guys kill fire dragon or avoid it?
i mean in pugs ive tried to avoid it but theres always that on ranged that stands back and pulls it
ah
Ideally you avoid it, at least I would in high fort keys
It gets quite spicy sub-50 unless people are blasting
Still hunting trinkets, but have ruby. which buff do you normal train up. I've got the haste one atm. thinking of switching to the AOE one
u train ST
oh nice and easy answer, thanks
Pull the pack on the stairs to the side of the pack, ranged will be forced to follow and no chance of them pulling fire drake then
Packs*
i do that
Does target count matter for what stone or do we just send on cd?
u send
Aha, unlucky
where do we get specs roles on the discord?
Guess I've simply been lucky in my RLP pugs
No real "spec roles" outside of coloured names.
Oh ok, on rogue/dh discords there is specs rôles for everyone nvm 🙂
The spec roles are to differentiate like the stormforged peeps
When you tank kurog and are about to move him over to storm from fire at 96 or 97 energy, it feels like he sometimes has a cast or melee attack there delaying the move to 98 or 99, are we doing something wrong or is that just RNG?
i just move based on time
1:59 fight time
and i start ot move
works for me at least
same every time? do you pull boss from range at start or charge in to him?
i just sort of strafe into the next zone
at 1:59
🤷
as long as he changes at 2:00
its works
I mean at start of fight when you pull the boss
just pull him straight into the first zone
Boss is tanked ~6-9 yards from the line
as soon as it hits 96, I taunt him over
I move away during his fire lines so that he can just beeline over
just 15 yards over the line so there's no stopping or anything
yes
still bait with haste?
kinda ye
I use it st its okay i think between 1.1-1.5k dps through a Dungeons
which guide is the most reliable one? I find myself getting different infos on every other site
how do you handle TC during avatar? wowhead says it's the highest prio while other guides say that shield slam stays > TC and that you only have to watch out for the decreased cd of TC
its every other gcd
what about revenge and the tier bonus then?
what about it
I often find myself pressing Shieldslam - tc - ss - tc - ss - tc with no time for revenge
ye
does revenge get a higher prio when the set bonus isnt up?
no
or do you just let it fall off
not in avatar
also in the opener, some other guy with a higher rank told me it's always avatar/shield block -> ravager -> demo shout -> roar -> shield charge, while (I think it was ) icy veins says that you weave in a TC there
as pwar Im guessing its the same as bear, you just set loot spec to fury or arms or something?
(bear does feral)
Definitely not IV.
in big pulls of like 8+ mobs with ravager running I often just press tc+revenge. seems to be the highest short term dps with cds running
Ravager->Charge+Avatar->SB->SS->CD's.
Yes, unless you need a shield.
Nothing wrong with that.
for aoe yes, TC is in there
Is there anything else you cant get if you loot spec as arms? I have crafted wep and shield so dont need 1h or shield. Wondered if theres any trinkets you cant get? Like all totem or decoration?
That's like a 6th cast..you wrote the first 3. 😂
If you go Arms you also can't get 1h.
Trinket wise you would like to get All-Totem (drops for Prot), but drops from raid.
Now that i look at that opener, i gotta swap TR/SC.
WEll it's between Demo Shout and Shield Charge apparently, which totally is "weaving it in" the opener I wrote
guide wrong 
What is wrong? 👀
Eeeh.
Ok so loot vault as prot till i have all totem? Assuming i want it
TR->SC sure. Taking care of that tonight.
That's all just for max aggro though right? Ideally you want all rends applied before you even shout and stuff
or is getting it on cd > rends getting buffed
you wanna min max the demo shout buff
nah u want TR going tbh
who cares about rend ticks u get enough of them in demo window
booming voice buffs tr right
ye
I should craft : Lariat/Weapon/Shield/Belt/Wrist with 5 firsts sparks?
or we can't lariat + belt + wrists ?
can't
shield > wep
what should I consider for 5th craft? is there a slot where we only got shitty stats?
whatever u want
choose the one that you don't have
Tips for living the double dragon add packs on diurna mythic? I have an evoker for one bleed cleanse, but after that it’s externals or death, is that normal? Just need to rotate wall / pain sup and time dilation and then have them dead before a 4th cast*?
I've gotten multiple doubles. 😦
oh well u dwarf anyway
We got 2 Evokers tho and i'm a dwarf.
Just live 4Head
but usually we kill the first dragon just after / at the end of tantrum
so i only ever really got 1 double bleed
and i was dwarfing it anyway
asking for evokers later
when running or somthing
Also I'll chime in on the aoe opener talk, defo TR before TC
Fast af.
Extending Rasz?
Same, experiencing this and just dying to it
So perhaps the first dragon is dying too slowly
I have shield wall and demo for that, that’s also my rallying, have a healer CD you and an evoker remove the dot as well
do you guys pick it up and run it to second adds immediately?
Roughly ya.
Wondering if perhaps running is why it dies a bit slow
u have to run
Chill there for like..5-7s and then move.
u dont have the time to kill it
That's what i did atleast.
Yeah otherwise you don’t get there in time
Yeah
Just need to tell everyone to focus it a bit more and use cds appropriately after then, hopefully no more than 1 double stack bleed but send shield wall on a second perhaps
Ok
Ppl should be focusing dragons there anyway
Just tell them to nuke down the low HP drake first.
Oh yeah prog for that part of the fight is figuring out how to manage dps CDs and externals on tank
Found myself getting clapped by the very first pack too, sometimes was getting to 8 stacks of the debuff
hi have questions for Trinkets
Unless I parried a lot
Most dangerous packs are the first one, double dragon, and the pack where there’s two jolt casters and one spawn late
I'm getting constantly 9.
😂
i mean thats about right tbh
i got scale ( give me a shield 408) hoof (415) inca 395 ( Box from Akadem on (398) wich should i use for M+
I’m playing orc too, can’t even dwarf it
no it would be haste crit
we dont care about vers
Just SW first pack
SW double drake
And then after that it's mostly free until 2nd phase.
dwarf is huge yer as well as u can dwarf the root
on P2
with the horrible over lap
?? What really?
yes
Shiet, I’ve had haste vers on all tier balls
like as we've said for like the last 3 expansions
we dont vare about vers
in any shape or form
haste is more DR
and so is crit
well its not really a fuck up
Lets be honest, it won't make or break anything.
Nah but, if I even luck a few extra parries that will be huge
top prots on Io have like 10% vers
Wait..WAIT..you want to tell me you don't keep an eye on your secondary stats ?!?!?!?!?!
HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THEN?
:/
Everyone knows secondary stats > playing the class correctly.


😂
"But Jakey, what if i have 100% vers, then i dont need to play the class correctly!!"
I believe I calculated it and unless you have 13.63% vers EXACTLY, you can't survive in keys.
Any more or less, and you die.

see u say that as a joke but some legit tried to convince us prot needed 25% vers to do 20s at the start of the expansion when i was doing them fine with 5%
he did also think that 25% vers was 25% DR i believe
It's still good to have some Vers; same goes for Mastery
well yer we never said have 0% vers
0% mastery would suck
same as any other stat
but a certain % vers to do anything
is just a wrong
My stats tend towards a ratio of 3:2:1:1 H:C:V:M and that generally feels comfortable. But like half of my Vers is the Eranog ring
same
And then you get a bit on Tier
I am trying to find the website that listed simple tank notes for m+. It's not tanknotes, but another that i cant for the life of me remember or find
youd need 200% vers tho
on it bud
Im interested too
Shield bros is it me or when raiding wars seam to do the last random damagee?
use rally, sw and ask external when sw over (better not evokers one or you'll get smashed when it starts doing dmg with bleed).
and dispel the last bleed instant.
Thats all.
Also what can I do to up my damage in mythic raiding tanking
smash buttons harder.
Burh
and i literately mean it. you do more dmg the more rage you gen and spend
I feel like I do so much damage as a tank warrior compared to other tanks
and spend big hit with sheild slam.
I'm at 99.70 %active time
it makes juicy crits for 160+
I think it's a vers diff
Is it just a gearing issue with low crit ?
no
I think you need like90% vers
Low vers
it will be a play issue
I'm at 20%
(I'm joking Jakey)
yes but a lot of ppl wont take it as sarcasm
@ripe dock without logs no one can tell you why you suck
i can't parse dathea 😭
Err I don't suck I just wanna do more damage lol
I can’t parse council 
If you are already at a 99% parse you can’t do much more dmg
If you aren’t, you kinda suck
Or Team sucks
He's at "99.7" ACTIVE time.
Which means nothing.
Why not 100%? Huh?
you hurt me
Good
😭
My mythic logs are trash as well
We don’t have a single clean kill so far, big struggle :(
that literally means nothing
Same.
if i parse dathea i can get to 98%.
but its not possible
But 98 is not 99 
Might realy need to start checking logs so my dps improves
I ended up finding it
https://tanknotes.deno.dev/
Tank Notes for World Of Warcraft Mythic Plus Dungeons
@ionic fern is half your raid dead on every kill?
Unfortunately not.
Unfortunately?
Christ you sound insufferable to play with
What
It’s a genuine question
Because mine is and idk if my parse would be higher if we kill@the boss bit quicker :(
If my raid would be dead i could parse on adds more.
:(
Thanks
the view from top is great, but it's sure lonely, and you inevitably/unwillingly look down on everyone around you
thats my opinion on 97/98/99/100 parsing
I have one more chance to parse before we extend for brood

If we could just have a clean council kill I could boost this above a 95
dont worry man ive done a lot of reclearing and my parses are dogshit because i never had the right stuff and everyone in my raid are dps whores so adds die literally in seconds
XD
You shouldn't care about parsing you should just look at your logs and see what you can improve on and you'll naturally get good parses
What else am I supposed to care about on wipe 110 of Dathea prog?
u can get 80 rolling your face accross your keyboard
good parses are very easy to get
u actually need the correct opportunity and knowledge and pieces (trinkets) to get top logs
My 398 grieftorch is still pissing me off
I missed rank 1 on terros by 1k dps with no windfury like 2 weeks ago 
That’s not a healthy mindset
hello. cant find anwer in FAQ so i ask here. LAriat best gems? i was thinking about doing:
1 x Primary stats + haste
2 x haste + versa
It's way healthier to try to fix your play than to chase for parses first
Those aren't really mutually exclusive, are they?
the truth about yogi and logging is
i didn't log alot, because then blame can accurately be placed on me, and that just no comfortable, and also it was a bit fiddlly to do, its easy to do now, but still struggle to understand what to do with log after i have it besides look at SB time, blocked hits, rage wasted, deaths.
when i don't log, i can just make up excuse to certain point,
Since performing our DPS priority generally results in better survival.
Terros is my bane, can’t seem to get my dps above 47k don’t know why
u aint pressing SS or execute enough
or like our man mokoo
pressing revenge too much
yer as i said not pressing SS enough
well not pressing anything enough
and your no tplaying ITF in raid
:/
I know I do that but that's legit muscle memory from when revenge was a builder and that probably won't go away anytime soon
This was the raid night I dropped SS for like one second and got one shot so I swapped back to Itf as kinda a fuck it just gonna kill boss
i mean its like way bad tho yer
Heavy rep*
like i had half the casts the revenge cast as u
and did more damage mokoo
like i get avatar back like 30 seconds ealier
but if u play correctly u have SB up for when your tanking with ITF
u have enough with the talents yu have
ED and bulwark is enough
I think I cap Shieldblock as a bad habit from SL where we had free 100% uptime with reprisal
Terros doesn't do a lot of dam the most dangerous damage is legit the pillar explosions when you have stacks
Yeah, I haven’t really gotten to do Terros in the last week the problem, I’ll have to start running Itf, heavy rep is a crutch, and prob worse tbh
well my point was your blaming a death on not having SB up and saying it was talents where its play thats the issue
u were probably sending SB when not tanking
and not thinking about actually needing it
I mean I always send it for uptime cause it buffs SS dmg
Which is stupid, I hate that interaction
right thats fine but thats not what u do
and it is what u do
u do send it when not tanking
Don't complain too much not that long ago shield block was pmuch capped at 50% uptime
but u need to have 2 charges back for when u do tank
this is where giving us a tone for free has created complacency in the class like managing your SB charges because we needed the block time to tank for like the past expansions since forever has always been a thing
but ill be honest i dont even think about SB anymore
its not even a thought in my head
but if they nerfs one or 2 talents
everyone is gunna complain and cry cause they gunna have to manage SB again
which is why ive always said dont send both charges
straight away
think about when and where to use SB
if the boss is cast or u need to move out dont use it
your wasting up time
etc etc
Side note we finally killed Dathea
That was fun
Now we get to rekill her next week
We’re gonna reclear till brood then extend I’m told
I don't really wanna play prot warrior next tier tbh I don't really like how little agency you have over your survivability compared to other tanks, having to call shit like "heal me" in voice doesn't feel great
bye then

My problem with my tanking probably just stems from the fact that I’ve always only done heroic or first few mythic bosses so I never really reached a point where my survivability was an issue enough to step back and figure out what I do wrong
Idk maybe I’m over analyzing it and I’m just bad
Tank survivability is rarely an issue and you can often fix it with externals or healers paying more attention but I don't like how in some situations you're just sitting at dangerous hp waiting to get healed or have to pot/hs when other tanks would just selfheal through, maybe I've just been too spoiled playing brew and dk
Just don’t reach a dangerous hp 4head
but the whole point of this class is u ither dont go as low as the other tanks by a far margin/ u dont take enough damage so kill u when your low
and u heal back up through IP
or IV
or both
like a big part of my sludge kill was sitting at like sub 30% most of the time
i was perfectly fine
cause block
hAhAA deathstrike go BrRR
BDK is like stupid easy tbh
Healing bdk as any healer is a snooze
blood dk was fun in sotfo but now it's back to deathstrike simulator again i guess

prot pal same thing
BDK was fun in sepulcher because you had the surv of a prot warrior and the healing of a bdk
They were unkillable
also cuz gavel
minmaxing the tier set was all the fun
was fun
100% DRW was actually nutty
But like correct me if I’m wrong, bdk seems like you just heartstrike and bonestrike to avoid capping runes, tombstone to avoid capping bone shield, deathstrike to avoid capping runic power, and blood boil to avoid capping charges
like i have said multiple times
Like there’s no thought
83% blocked hits is ok?
i was good friend with BDK main all of BFA and start of DF
they are good, but they are wheelchair, and they get caught with "pants down" for mechanics and no CD up
other than that, its just, ret paladin, and healer has to pay attention to its bar.... sometimes?
they added a whole class to solve the no mobility problem
demon huntar?
Dragon
you know,, 99% of the reason i won't play dk is cuz no charge/leap on a short CD
MS is nice, but i still have to press that button and begin to hold W...... in the correct direction so i don't geomotry fuck my self against a wall and get stomped by odyn still
so, thats story of why i don't DK, also im too dumb to play UH
I felt super slow as BDK, but 2 death's advance and engineering nitro boost feels a lot better
you don't fuck your self with geomtry problems on warrior cuz its intervene/charge worked, or i have leaper
hey, for spell block do i need to have shield block up?
no
ok, does it make me immune to all spells or how does it work?
no, but you will only be at base buffed block % on character sheet
Like spell reflect but without the reflect part
you still must be infront of target, un-cc'd
spell primarily targeted at you (a snow/fire/lightning ball)
nope, if you get sleeped and anything that would stop a melee from being blocked, same thing for spell
ahh
Can’t block while stunned, incapped, feared, slept, disarmed, or just not facing the target
Which you will notice
Because you’ll probably be dead
nothing disarms in current m+ far as im aware
in AA, the small adds spawned by tree guy, they do this insane dmg atk on your right? does spell reflect or block work on them?
that would be quite some cancer mechanci
I just meant in general cause pvp
or is that physical?
they apply a stacking dot
The dmg they do is from the bleed, you need a healer who can dispell it and you can also take the bleed cleanse
Whatever it’s called
did we have a spell like that? 😮
the big flowers in AA tree room, the elite ones, they do green circles that disorient you (alot like a stun or fear, you waddle around and cant do fuck all and you lose all aggro temporarily
i don't know what you mean disarms u there
its a poison, not a bleed
Bitter immunity
so bitter immunity would work
but also, healer should have something
or a monk/paladin
Idk what it is I just know bitter immunity works
yeah, its the same effect as drinking a kyrian potions but it doesn't take spot in your bag, doesn't run out, don't have to call owl each 3 times
The wall also used to be called the wall and was 2 charges+ 20% DR to your entire party when you used SW
Now that would have been fun
yea, that wouldve been busted
and we'd probably take the Avatar/SW talent in the class tree over the Avatar Thunderclap one
Just put all the dps that don’t know what a defensive cooldown is in your party and SW during big dam like rasz bombs
S2 tierset inc
I was thinking Eye of the Storm in Halls
I’d totally be down for that
but that works to
hell, last boss RLP
just a blanket 20% DR for the whole party
📈
bitter immunity in my eyes, should work, for diseases, poisions, sleep, sheep, sap and then it has a very high chance not 100% to remove magic and curses
cuz its like, natural immunities and so warrior can attempt in vain to remove them and maybe if hes lucky, it works

Yes you do, if you don't have shield block up you are not guaranteeing the 100% block chance
cuz like warrior doesn't understand magic shit, so he would he know how to get rid of it? thus just the chance
i get the RP aspect but that would be awful to use
i think more variance on what can happen and nothing is for certain is more entertaining
basically press this and there's a chance it literally does nothing
yea, I just care about in practice how it would feel; and with some nasty bleeds/dots in the game like 2 boss RLP, 3rd boss ToJS, and bird boi in AA, a way to deal with one set of bleeds/debuff would be giga siq
you just send it PRAYING it works plz god hear my prayers and get rid of this curse
Hey, sorry if this has an answer somewhere already but when playing prot warrior is there any logic/value in taking speed enchants over leech? Sometimes I feel like some of these casts you can outrange are so fast that some extra speed would help me get away when my leap is down but taking speed over leech feels a bit wrong even if its just a tertiary...
take leech
do big damage
do big healing
win win
deal with spells with Reflect, Spell Block, or stops
Yeah but you can't just sit there eating dark claws for example and those go off fast asf but they can be outranged.
you can actually with Spell Block
at least for 20 seconds
i mean u can if u play correctly
and out ranging darkclaw only causes it to recast the moment your in range again
Okay, so never take speed and just react faster and more stops.
Could shockwave to line up casts then reflect one set, spell block another, SW the third
one problem i have in wow with stuns is im cow man, so i have SC, TB, SW, and Cow Stomp
after that its mostly dead and then you do a bit of back step kitting
to let DPS finish it off
Imo cow stomp needs the cast time removed
imo no
so, thats 4 stuns, 2 are aoe stuns, it's easy for me to accidently over lap
why not
and then we used all 3 stuns DR's, he cant be stunned, but his only cast is supposed to be countered by stun or some other hard CC,..... gg
^ booooo
we playted ourself
me like my arcane torrent
Does any1 here have a really really pug friendly route for AV20? I've noticed some big discrepancy between the first pull (6 lashers 1 tree) where it either wipes the group or group handles it well 100%

thing about cow stomp is its only a 0.5 second cast
so its extremely unlikely you take dmg during it
depends; there are a number of ways you can pull that dungeon
and nothing you do is necessarily pug friendly XD
I'm noticing that.. I just want something that has the highest success rate for AV20..
bull rush on highmountain DK is goated
huge bully CC plays for dungeons you could do,

This one might work well; lust first pack
and then after 2nd boss, walk out the door you came, go to the left and follow the ledge so you are right above the two Dracthyr bois before 3rd and jump down
this tends to be a favorite now for pugs from what Ive seen; though a normal W route going through frogs is also viable (but DPS complain so much about them)
also, dont be afraid to pull things separately if you arent comfortable with the damage intake; AV tends to be a dungeon where there is a lot of pressure on the tank to not die and there are quite a bit of frontals/incoming damage on the tank without proper stops
or just press W
^ this also works
Was doing a +2 HoV with a bunch of new players today
Killed Hyrja and they go "damn I love having a good tank"
I proceeded to pull the entire hall + a sentinel and everyone kept dying while the mobs kept healing
OK Augusto ill check it out when i get home.. I like the W route too but i hate how group wipes to the first pull
getting the first pull down is giga awesome
I’m assuming you mean the 6 lashers and tree pull not the furies plus lashers pull? Honestly with lust if people are wiping to it then it’s probably good the group showed you that it wasn’t worth spending any further time in the dungeon with them. In regular pugs I tend to remind them to line of sight the doorway so the first 3 lashers don’t free cast on them and instead group up but that should be all that’s needed. Rest is just stops/interrupts and burn.
6 lashers+3 furys: just rotate Ds
use shockwave and other stops
and people should be using their stops
its a fun pull

So is the good part of Blazebinder's Hoof the strength increase? The burnout wave seems to do nothing and its hard to time
Arbiter you're right haha.. last night we wiped to 6 lashers 1 tree after all my stops... Where as on Sat night it was smooth sailing.. Do ppl lust here?
and if they cant do it, well at least you know they cant be trusted
its a litmus test for your group
wipe on first pack? leave
go again
yes lust first pack with 6 lashers + 3 furies
No group that’s had problems with that pull had made the rest of the dungeon any easier lol. Ironically though since doing no frog routes even with that same 6 lasher plus tree pull as the second pull people are still more likely to handle it better. Probably because they blew their load on first pack so they can worry more about stops and less about ram
But yea in fort week regardless of the route you do you should lust the first pack. You can save for boss on tyran week
IMO, the big trees are worse then the Furys
Really?
first boss is kind of a joke; we always just lust the first pull
get a second lust on more trash and 3rd on 2nd boss
or 2nd lust on 2nd boss; kind of depends on what route we doin
You can do either. I also always lust first pack, but I wouldn’t consider the first boss a joke since a lot can go wrong the more pillars that spawn on tyran, but I’m just saying it’s optional vs fort you always lust first pack because you never shouldn’t.
Would like to hear some opinions on that aswell... i Timed some keys with WIndscarwhetstone 412 ilvl and Blazebinders 418 ilvl and while Windscar made almost 6% overall dmg, the hoof made 1,5%, idk if the strength increase catches up with this
personally, Id go whetstone>Blazehoof
and yea, the strength increase on Blazehoof is the value on that trinket
the mainstat is the important part
Hoof just feels so damn unsatisfying
Screw whetstone. Just go boon and have best of both worlds.
Or go both with 20 sec delay and do big pulls 😄
here we go haha
Boon is life. Need a mythic one though. My guild isn’t reclearing until raz is dead though so I can’t kill dathea for vault loot.
I also like boon in Court when I pull all the little wormies in that Courtyard right before the bridge to first boss
big "ethical" dam
You’re a mad man those are the 2 dungeons I ended up just not bringing boon to anymore LOL. Too many instances of having to hold it due to mechanics and felt like it was doing too little as a result.
Boon (I have 408 version) is fun but if u don’t use it on CD my 415 trampling hoofs isn’t that far away and gives more strength. And most dungeons on high level it’s kinda risky
I wouldnt on WAr
but DK has purg

and stun immunity
so if I get hit by something.... im not dead yet
Ah true. Love it in most of the other dungeons though
I don’t use it on CD but hooves still can’t touch it. Does like 6% of my damage even if holding for 1-2 minutes at a time because I rarely use it on bosses unless it’s tyran and I know I’ll get another use on trash.
if you can pull like a mad lad and get it used close enough on CD, boon is stonks
especially if there arent puddles on the ground or frontals you cant interrupt
Ye I’m selective about where I use it because certain mobs make it risky, but it’s so good that I can use it that way because I know there isn’t a single strength trinket that can do more than that even when used on cooldown. It would do more if I risked it more often, but it’s a little harder to explain to pugs that I bricked their key for the biscuit lol.


i experienced this recently
insane, every dps got to just target dummy everything, prevoker healed twice and ended the pull at 170k dps
its sketch with bad dps on war
you can leap from breathe and its zzz
but dps lose giga uptime usually
170k prevoker
prevoker dps is busted sir
does anyone know if there's a way to avoid the leap from the cats in COS? or in a high key is it basically guaranteed that someone dies if they're not stun locked until they die
cc one in the beginning so the leaps are desync. that gives ur healer time to react
is new pala rework taking over prot warrior?
they havent even got it yet and they are
as me and nome kept saying palain was really strong just slept on
already are
as jakey is saying
just took time for people to pick up on them
Palas will be really strong in bracken and halls of infusion
bursting im not woried about, grevious tyranical......................
man, i dunno aboiut resubb any time soon
birdo boss academy immediately comes to mind
yeah, if you arent dark iron with preist in group and dragon with remove bleed, high AA is going to be hell next week
lots of big pulls that will trigger big burstings, and bird will become a giant steel wall, probably vex, will all suck
It's just unnecessary extra healing on dungeons where the healing check is already high
Best combo would be pala tank for wog or whatever they do, priest for obvious reasons, shammy for AG, feral or dudu for nature's vigil
asmon complains about mythic plus "oh you pull a mob and each mob has 4 different abilities and its hard to tell whats going on", like, yes, and no, both right and wrong, Part 1: is "each mob does 4 differnt things", yeah, and if you pull 5 total mobs, 3 does abc spell set, other 2 does xyz spells, well, i learned in mdi recently like, frontals, only 1 frontal can happen at time, saw it in like cos or somethin. Part 2: like, bro, you got dbm and it says it in 4 different places and the monster is doing a voice emote dbm is going off and hes glowing bluie and waving his arms with a cast bar... and can't figure it out... like come'on you know
Well, asmon has always expressed disdain for m+, and he's more on the casual andy persona type
guys since i am learning this still can u tell me, which dungeons u never take spell block??
It's easier to ask "where do I need spell block"
well TJS is where u need spell block for sure
that I am sure 😄 i guess it has nice value in AA?
But AV is good for rocks, second and last boss, TJS, Ruby, NO on any 22+ key specially if you run without soothes like me 
and SBG for the first undeads?
