I know I was kinda punching above my weight class on that one but thought we could still get through it
with a 405+ healer would've been a bit easier. Or maybe if the evoker was more used to his alt too. How are you cycling CDs for crawth?
Just trying to spread out your IV / pot / last stand / SW / rally for each bleed?
i assume using ravager as a rage gen to feed IPs
Rally I use on 3rd or 4th screech per healer request
makes sense
and only flat DR reduces that bleed damage right?
yea
so basically just SW and Demo Shout
whys that?
20% more damage
does SC do that much damage?
I play with Nom's build in basically all content; SC with both of the sub traits hits like a mack truck
so adding a extra 20% on top of that from booming voice
how many % does it do of ur dmg on average with that spec?
I dont know what the % of my overall SC is, all I know is that a Demo Shout->SC hits hard
Just started getting used to matching up violent outburst with SS
k, iāve wanted to try it
How many targets do you use it on thunderclap?
iirc its 8 targets WITH avatar up.
What does avatar have to do with it?
Oh if you take the next talent NVM
For m+ you think big toe over Ruby whelp shell ST?
Got lucky and picked up a blazebinders hoof yesterday
7+ without avatar
5+ with
Unless the pack is about to die relatively soon and there is no prio target
But if there's a prio target you wanna focus on sending SS outburst into that almost exclusively
the rend from thunderclap isnt affected by VO right?
Prio dmg is what speeds up keys more
Nop
Just finishing some morning chores and got around to checking disc. Thank you as well
is there a quick way to see %blocked attacks in overall dungeon like in details maybe?
Don't think details is that....... detailed
is it easy on logs maybe? didn't looked tbh
Yeah logs can show % of blocked hits
Go to damage taken tab, click on your name and hover over melee. Will tell you block%
someone previously had said that you want to hover over melee hits because the melee damage was inflated or something?
True or not idk
u hover over the hits column
Yes you need to hover over hits because just melee includes swings you dodged, parried, or had miss you
You cannot block an attack that didnāt hit you
If you just check melee dmg taken blocked vs non blocked, it skews the image cuz you obv take fuckall dmg from blocked hits
And take much more dmg from unblocked hits
is this real news? @strong forum
With weakauras, how do you spearate tracking "spell reflection = -20% magic dmg" and "spell reflection = 1st spell refelcted" ?
What phials are people using for their 20+ keys? I see so much variance among tanks in videos/guides
eye in the storm
yes- IF you have a good rotation
lets pretend I'm not good. what should I use?
glacial fury
I dont use flasks or phials for any key kekw
with a bad rotation glacial fury could easily do more than ~3.7% of your overall damage
ahh I see
not news, brewmaster has innate an only 1second GCD iirc
whereas every other class has 1.5sec GCD
Does Impending Victory count as a direct heal to remove 1 stack of Grievous ?
it should but i wouldnt worry at all as a tank about grievious
i think every energy user has a 1 second gcd
i thought Euros liked wearing leather
it is op
TIL
warrior is just shield block and afk

haste isnt "resource generation" for arms and fury because you are just spending it faster as well
but it is for energy users
and i have to explain that every day back in SL
Stand in your consecrate
I wish wog was ogcd
Be a bit op if it was
Maybe a little
you're still rate limited by how many free wogs and holy power you have
the proc should be ogcd at least
That's a happy compromise
PPal can have wog ogcd if PWar can have IV ogcd
SotR is off gcd, be happy with that
Revenge off GCD
Oh that would just be silly
As would IV; I was not advocating for the change, I was pointing out how it would be a bad idea
IV off gcd wouldn't be super impactful since it's more of a "icing on the cake*
Rather than our core kit
Since we don't need the healing in general
wow toke has had a crazy past few days
sold 1 at 191k and 179k in 24 hrs, back up to 184k currently on NA
how is the haste leg embelishment? not sure what else to craft
pretty dog
vers bracers are super solid if you dont plan on getting the fire rings and thus the belt
Even with the rings the Frostfire Belt is... Not as impactful as all that
it is bad because, it only counts for each NEW thing you attack, not, you attack guy 1, 2 3, 1 2 3 and then you keep getting t4he buff
yeah like i will be raiding on it but i cant guarantee the ring soon, so not sure if i just craft the belt in anticipation of getting the ring
idk
None of the embellishments are really that important
you cant go wrong with the belt
okay belt it is ty
embellishs are, as zeta said, w/e
on my prevoker im even only running 1, cuz my first vault was 418 boots so i cant even use my 2nd embellishment yet
no what happens instead is u get the buff 1 time, for 1 guy
I've got the belt, but these days I'm using Lariat and the wrists
per that triggered it
im surprised that people in MDI arent running the haste pants
thats like the ideal scenario for it
whereas the fire rings are quite bad for mdi
but they run fire rings + belt, instead of haste pants and haste/crit rings
Replaced my flaming codpiece, dead server no one to upgrade it
I think for the MDI types it's more about having their healer able to DPS? IDK
Got a 415 socketed haste crit belt, feels good

fire rings dont change that
the only big argument is, is that fire ring + belt is more ST dmg
but its way less aoe dmg for their ultra pulls
idk if dh's are special but fire ring still does like strong ass dmg in keys for me lol
yes dhs are special
DH have a much easier time of triggering the rings
i figured the belt would proc it mostly on cd
not only are most dh special, but they are also special in the brain most of them too
yogi plz
what did i do to deserve that :*(
not that it's wrong per se, but it's hurtful
i like demon hunters alot, but i have had more than my fair shake of exceptionally dumb demon hunters
I hate having DK tanks on my healers; they bound off over the horizon and then complain about not getting healed
the last court i did i died 3x on the first boss on fortified so it really stings more
one receently talented into that he has to fight a demon, he does it and then hi complains about it
i mean yes we will continue to complain about fodder
i mean it's the best talent for havoc at least, even if it is annoying to play around
There's a Rogue in my guild has a hood that procs his Eranog ring a lot
ya flaring cowl is basically just wish.com immo aura
its range is shorter than melee range though which is kinda toxic
does any1 have spell reflection WA that works like the one that critcake uses?
Based
Idk about that one but Genshii has good WAs
You think having the fire ring (LFG 382 ilvl) is worth it when I have the belt crafted? Should I just use a 400 ilvl ring until I can get a normal/heroic fire ring?
its only giving like 1% of my dps
i wish that LFR wings came out way earlier in the raid life cycle
start wing 1 after 2 weeks of its relase
nah, low ilvl fire ring is not worth it
it should be MINIMUM heroic
cuz at that point a month or 2 after the main raid came out.......
and for the absorb ring, its decent at mythic ilvl
ok thanks, I'll get that replaced then, felt kinda underwhelming
I have heroic ilvl with a socket and am greatly looking forward to replacing with a 421 cos ring or something D: Im hurting for better stats fr
Any idea why my DK co-tank has more dmg done with his heroic fire ring then I have with my mythic? We both proc it off the belt. Is there something I'm missing?
is that consistently the case?
Let me have a look in logs. I just remembered it now with all the ring talk
what boss
it also matters
osmetimes you get unlucky and proc the ring/belt on a small add
and it just dies
and you lose the proc
well rest of that 1 proc
can anyone tell me the best way to get these without losing too much dps?
dont really want to drop punish
it is encounter dependant
and pain and gain isnt great
ahhh i thought it'd do decent overall healing
warriors dont worry about healing
thunderlord i rly want but i dont wanna drop anything dps increase
fair play, will keep rocking this for now then
Comparing mainly Terros due to identical uptime and no adds, but I just realised we only have one fight together after I got the ring since he's away this week. Might no actually be a thing, could be just luck on that one particular fight. Other fights seem all over the place
Drop aoe heroic throw
so nice for gathering shit far away but will give it a go
Like what
regular heroic throw is spammable. i haven't found titanic throw to be that useful
titanic throw is great
also check the builds in the pins
this is the build in the pins
For what
There are 2 pulls in aa that I would like it
NO packs, dps warriors, snagging patrols, double pulling
you're right, my bad. forgot i had adjusted my own version of it
You can charge clap charge
throw is good for getting mobs your tclap will not be reaching
You can hit them with regular throw too
it is op for snagging patrols
you can choose not to use it hes not forcing you to or trying to sway your opinion š
Which patrol in particular
any patrol that patrols near where you kill a pack-
the few mobs groups just before the 2nd tower in COS come to mind
You asked which talent to drop for pain and gain
also the patrol in 2nd boss room av
I pull them with regular throw just fine
Group is on opposite side so mobs have to go through me
idk man
u act like dps have never slammed fresh mobs
and pulled threat
it is helpful for that reason
I never have aggro issues
remember the fire ring is essentially a proc on top of a proc
ofc it is unnecessary in a vacuum where no dps ever trolls you
I always aggro a new pack with heroic leap
Well in Fortified week atleast
Leap and pop off aoe
obviously it's an optional talent that people will find more or less use out of it. i'm more interested in what other differences people have that makes one person find it important and another find it negligible.
Oh they do, my friend will start combusting as I charge and mobs just run past me, dh will hunt as I charge
My friends are monkeys
mobs running past you sounds like aggro issues
I mean I said as I charge
I mostly due equal or higher dps vs packs too given the time so
btw i was meant to ask im experiencing a bug and idk what it is
Aggro is 0 problem
I donāt see any top warriors run titanic throw either š¤·āāļø
heroic leap off cd and it comes up "cannot use at this time" then randomly i can use
We are already short on talent points bruh :S
ive no idea what's causing it
i dont even run it anymore but it has viable use cases
and the top warriors are surely running with non troll dps
I didnāt say it isnāt viable, only said that itās the talent I would drop for pain and gain
well you have disagreed with every use case ive come up with- even when you yourself experienced a problem that using it fixes
prot paladin
Key rn is 21 AV
If you think titanic throw is gonna hold aggro when youāre dps attack before you even get to the pack youāre wrong
It's a hard key this week with pugs, best of lucks
is it a no path available error
But feels so dull to try hard for 40 mins just to get like extra 7 IO points
the icon for heroic leap literally shows greyed out though
instead of being coloured, when off cd
Only for it to reset anyway soon
then randomly it will turn coloured
it has buffed threat- and if you proc sidearm ontop if it that is a very sufficient amount of threat
Go ahead and use it then, perfectly ok talent. Still as I said before, itās the least impactful talent to drop for pain and gain.
You sure you don't have anything macroed to it?
yes otherwise u gotta drop damage or cc
and if i was to drop it pain and gain would be the play?
Are you rooted?
Maybe you're using a macro with tooltip vs. actual spell and there's a bug with it? I haven't had any issues with HLeap so seems specific (could also be lag?)
i mean a cursor macro, but that shouldnt affect it not showing as coloured when its off cd
The trade off for Titanic Throw is ridiculous
There are no other talents early we need, intervene for hov
WIll you give out Best Served Cold? hell na
Wouldn't hurt trying baseline but yeah guessing it will also have a bug
sbolt, intim shout
^
can someone the macro they use and ill just compared to what i have
Are you using a #showtioltip or a mod key
Intervene, SBolt, Intim Shout, I started running Intim Shout baseline to help with interrupts again
I only run Stormbolt and Shield Charge
Usually only 1 mob needs to be stunned in packs anyway
i think mine looks similar, checking.
You can also drop utility, but I personally never drop it
yes that is why youd have to drop tthrow
If you use the spell directly from the spell book do you still hit the issue?
only thing i can think is causing the issue is the glyph? idk
#showtooltip
/cast [known:Heroic Leap,@cursor] Heroic Leap
I always play standard build with pain and gain instead of titanic throw, and for hov I play intervene
will try this tyty
i'm not sure it's relevant to your problem, but who knows
yeah i have no idea whats causing it, im gonna just remove the glyph to be safe too
does goblin jump maybe give it an internal cd? idk
I have to reload before most keys due to taint errors, I read somewhere that your UI can get tainted and the saved version is stored server sided, so even if you try a few fixes the error is already saved on the server
What I'm trying to say, the game is buggy too
goblin jump putting you airborne might be mucking with heroic leap pathing?
Heroic leap pathing only fucks up when it's LoS or on a slanted surface
yeah idk its been happening since i started levelling it last week, thought it was maybe a known bug or something but apparently not š
nothings like a heroic leap auto DC
i mean it should be shown as coloured regardless when off cd, it comes off cd and shows greyed out for 10-15 seconds sometimess
makes no sense
I've never run into issues that aren't due to what I named above
just for kicks, maybe try repairing your install
and yeah reload often, DF has some really messy code in the UI changes somewhere
it might be your UI
there's a lot of spaghetti in this game
What bar mod are you running
make sure you have updated it
i saw a druid that couldn't cast wild charge unless they were cat form, we tried troubleshooting for the longest, finally just had him close game and reopen and it worked
try disabling it to see if it goes back to normal
i run standard ui
It might be a range sensor and when your cursor isn't in range or on a path able surface it greys out
pay attention to the exact error you're getting if you can reproduce it
no idea, will see how this new macro and no glyph work out
it still works if your cursor is inside the minimum range
hmmm i think its goblin jump ngl
it just jumps past cursor to the min range in that direction
gonna try it now
umm
yeah it is goblin jump
i just tried it and got the same thing
lucky for you my warrior is goblin, that's strange
Lol
puts it on internal cd or some shit?
i'll get a gif of it in a sec
wonder if its intended
Time for a bug report
You know what really grinds my gears, SC getting CD when you use it on the birds in AA when they are about to touch the ground
blizzard owe me 650 gold for having the rebuy this glyph for leap
Charging from the air , shield slamming for 70k, then getting an evade
That's scuffed
yeah if there's a shared ICD w/ goblin jump and heroic leap
that basically means don't bother playing warrior as agoblin doesn't it ? lol
time for more tauren stuns
so it's a one-way ICD? lol wacky
what on earth did Rextroy do to make them add this
Til heroic leap slows falling
Chances are this goes back to the WF mythic kiljaeden kill
it's like any of the movement abilities you can cast mid-air, it resets inertia so you don't take fall damage if timed right.
I know hl stops falling damage, but slows isn't the term I would use
i wonder if it makes levitate and slowfall uncastable too
yeah it's not really what i would call clear wording
Ye thatās how it works
If you train yourself to just leap before you use jump itās all Gucci
I played as goblin for a long time it was actually nice, you just leap before you rocket jump
now i'm pretty sure i've already learned and forgotten this before
cause i played goblin warr alt for most of SL lol
I was looking for the video of goblin jump+heroic leap saving me
But I found this instead
Good old blizzard spaghetti code on interaction of priests symbols and our AM
Guys is prot paladin harder than prot warrior?
lol i remember that one
Yes
but thats not because paladin is particularily hard
its because pwar is particularily easy
Ok thanks!
I blame the idiot who was standing near everyone with the knockback

Thereās only one thing I miss about SL
Give me back soulshape
Remember being nf pwar, 
NF prot was goated with the sauce
Fuck spear, death fairy stompybois trucked
So many mechanic interrupts

I mean donāt get me wrong I went Kyrian once we got double Lego
And then Necro Chad
But before then, NF was based
I had quit by then
Because not having living space feels bad
Also 288days of no content
Feelsadman
interesting
The āagainst current targetā is changing
ye ~1.5months ago
So I think itās fine
Yeah there was a nerf
there was a nerf, yes
I canāt remember the timeline
but we gotta check when
it was changed jan 24 on NA
jan 25th EU
mustve been
its pvp scaling
still being active on your character sheet
i cba
i equipped lower ilvl
and block value went up
i checked on all 3 difficulties
normal, heroic and mythic
all the same
its just dumbass fucking pvp scaling fucking you in the ass with displaying wrong information
3rd time im learning this bullshit
its not a bug
perse
just display error on character sheet
the higher average equipped ilvl you go, the more fuck it becomes
we love pvp scaling
i mean on average we don't
maybe dedicated pvpers do i dunno i haven't kept up with the pvp crowd this expac/season
thats an obv joke
we only take things literally now, thank you
also, if i'd have checked in a normal dungeon, i'd have not been baited
cuz i looked at the wrong value
did they fix the wood fence trick in HoV ?
tried that yesterday, pulled all wolves and they killed the ranges on the fence
fence never worked
its the pole that works
behind the rock in the back
any location you can reach without the absolute need of jumping, wont work
cuz anything that you can walk allows pathing, mobs cant path to smth that isnt reachable by walking
I started liking the Echo rock more then the post
sometimes, the post doesnt work, but the stone works pretty much 100% of the time
and with a warrior, no one needs to run out for the chase with intervene
which stone?
by the cave
no
there's a little spot you can parkour to on the left?
right past the bridge by the right wall?
ye
he said which stone š
i guess echo spot kinda...requires you to be doing w/ boss
yeah and augusto said rock, i said stone
prot warr go boom on MDI just now
something happen in AV
he went boom, they key going giga boom now
you mean wiped?
MDI wipe + run back + L + ratio
you would do the boss first, then get range on the rock and pull the wovles
requires people not to body pull, but its pretty easy to get up there
plus then you got speed boost to gather wovles
i mean... i know there is different classes of rocks/stones, all the same thing to me.
The key with the post is just making sure you're not off the edge at all, but instead all the way up on the tip
And then just do not move at all
^
hey. i have strike twice 415ilvl, i have simmed against Primal molten longsword 418 and it makes no difference DPS wise but obviously stat wise it does. should i bother changing?
Ilvl wins, strike twice will only edge out when it's equal ilvl
On aoe the higher ilvl will do more
Fucking hell, the bird in Academy is rough on high keys
Yep ideally it's Rally on 3rd stack and defensive's on 4th stack then lust during stun for extra damage, then same thing again and hopefully kill it before 2nd 4th stack
It's a healer check but if group coordinates and uses their defensive's it's not too bad
The real issue is lack of coordination in pugs with no voice
getting the stun at the right time is very definitely an issue
Yeah should ideally be right before 5th screech healer throws the ball
I was always amazed that people bitched about the tree, which was always easy, and not the bird, but now I'm pushing high keys the bird is murder
Yeah bird/vex are the actual challenges now with the nerfs to tree, tree is just a stack and move together challenge, and don't overlap germinate
Tree is the pad boss so everyone has 100-200k dps overall by end of dungeon if done right
before the nerfs the tree was just "throw an earth elemental at the second set of adds" and it was GG
On tyran week I like to go vex first, then backtrack to tree, then bird, lusting on vex/bird
and clear more trash before final boss, you could also do wyrms, they're easy imo just jump around a bit, honestly I really like AA
That's probably the best idea TBH
Both of those bosses are the group killers so it's nice to get vex out of the way first to also see if the group is ready
Also there's supposedly some orb soak tech with Vex but I tried it once and it didn't seem to work, (supposedly second set of orbs after his first crap on ground ability you don't soak to offset timers), if anyone does know the right way I'm all ears
I heard sometyhing about that, but then someone else said it got patched out by bliz
Hmm so maybe it was fixed then, boo lol
HoV is where we really get to flex our tech though
Dont let him soak All, just let 2 go through, should offset his abilities enougbh to avoid the overlap
Which set of orbs do you do that for, or is it for all sets?
Hi all, getting into tanking heroic pugs and I know all of the mechanics but I'm finding the tanking aspects of it are difficult to learn beforehand. Any good written/youtube tutorials that I could look at for each boss? So far I've just been reading tank notes but not everything is explained well there and it's not updated
anyone find mythic kurog first transition around 97 energy weird? generally right adds spawn. sometimes for no reason wrong adds. doing somethign wrong? or this is just the way it is. ive had times hes gone thru even at 98 and its worked. other times, no
Doing something wrong maybe but timing is very precise tbh like stupid precise. I dont use enegery moving at 1:59 into the fight does it for me
It's dumb how tight the timing is, and sometimes he will come over late due to melee leeway. It's definitely frustrating for tanks because you can wipe from it being "your fault" but I hate how it doesn't feel like "your fault" at the same time
ya ya ive noticed that its the melee swing that delays him sometimes. once i leaped for that reason to prevent, spawned wrong adds still somehow lol. i get it like 80% of the time. thinking timer is probably even more precise tho ill try that
What tank handles Crawth/bleeds the best? DK?
A Dorf one
I mean, it covers one bleed
Just pop dstance kekw
not really a gamechanger
Dwarf prot pal with evoker can remove 4 bleed stacks
shit goes out like every 20 seconds
3 from prot pal and 1 from the evoker CD
how the heck you you make sure a melee doesn't get popped when using bob/bubble? a macro to bubble/cancel/taunt all at once?
You can just macro in a cancel aura and cast taunt then bubble and drop it in the same global basically
Like most of my abilities on other tanks have a cancel aura macro into whatever I spam the most
IP, slam both have a cancel aura macro just cause.
You make a macro that has cancelaura before and after the bubble cast...
You won't even see the buff but the bleed will be gone
ok good to know. I have a pally but he's an hpal really, don't tank on him often
does that mean theres a GCD where you can't taunt but you dont have aggro?
god, i remember tryhards on sludgefist getting their cotanks to macro cancelauras into everything so the prot warrior could intervene them without getting punched to death
Yer i just intervened
And i was the second tank to do i think with rep to do it
We tried, gave up
So i just took the melees. Cuase warrior

šŖ
this week seeming particularly tough for m+'s trash doing fine, but when it comes to bosses ppl are just falling over
?
Grievous is not helpful on bosses with a continual group-wide damage component
guess its time to find my self a fixed group rather than pugging keys
tyr grievous is one of the hardest combination for keys
and blizzard in shadowlands even stated that it shouldnt exist
but here we are again
ta was starting to think i was been rubbish tank
Teeming bolstering fortified 
bro youre playing pwar
Bloz changing things for the better :kekw:
you have literally no say in the matter when it comes to bosses
if you dont die yourself on bosses, thats all you can provide as pwar
The keys I have failed, I have generally failed because DPS fuck up the mechanics and the healer has to spend CDs/lots of mana keeping them up
(one of the reasons why i dont enjoy tanking as much this xpac)
i feel quite useless
im just there
but i cant help anybody
give warrior heals that you shout at others to heal them
Outside of a 3m Rallying Cry, Nome is right
aye, intervene isn't available in most builds either now i used to use it all the time in SL
And rallying cry is a bit meh
rallying cry is super good as a group defensive
compared to what any other tank offers
The issue with Rallying Cry is that it doesn't really help that much with Grievous specifically, because if you were at low HP you still will be
It's good overall and a group-wide defensive, but it's not that great as a specific counter to Grievous, IYSWIM
well yeah
nothing beats paladin in that regard
wog, sac and bop are one hell of a drug
I've never played Pally at high level
continue to not
never give in to the pink menace
I always bounced off it around level 80 before the squish
i only played it for half of a patch in 8.1
The pink menace will be really good next dungeons
it already is better in 6/8 keys
I swear on me mum I'll stick to +2s if I have to
currently
I don't actually not invite pallies
and the only reason why pwar is better than pally in 2/8 keys is only cuz of spell reflect
I have never played pala in keys, I might give in
Honestly, their kit's really nice to have around for M+ purposes
I rarely invite them because a) I rarely pug, and b) I'm the tank and Ret is kinda bad right now
divine toll, and thats all i need to say there
better to just upgrade these gloves?
I invited a ret on a hov 22 last week, he was solid
or i dunno if there is a better pair of gloves outta dungeons
stats dont carry over
only tertiaries
your gloves are better because theyre higher ilvl
I assume you mean upgrade the ilvl because you have 5pc and the stats are better?
oh you mean just not using tier gloves
cuz 5/5 literal have an open slot and still get 4p bonus if i level and equip the haste crit
nah, keep tier gloves
you want a bit of mastery on your gear
helmet and gloves give you a small chunk of it
How much Mastery do you have?
1602
TBH if you are looking to swap an item of Tier for non-Tier Chest is probably the best choice, because stat budget
Yeah, agree with Nome
my vault this week, no i dont have lariat
how hard it is to get invited into 22, I'm at 2887io rn and I've been tagging for 2hours straight rn
youre right at the score you should have when you do 22s
so idk
should be super easy to get invites
but community is losing braincells everyday and they think they need prot pally now
People might be jumping on the pala bandwagon
yes I have all 21 and some 22, even got HoV, not the usual Sbg CoS
:/
3 more 20s and im done this season
maybe I reach the 2.9 milestone my struggle will end
I'm 2934 myself and I have 6 keys on tyr at 20, I haven't had a chance to push on tyr for a few weeks now
My season will be over when I reach 3k, I think that's a decent io tbh
hi, im back with some logs finally, parse dmg 79, i think my SB uptime is still...trash. I really need to pay more attention. Can someone help me to understand what else can i improve? Ty in advance
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DBdCk2xFzmp6GnYc#fight=4&type=summary&source=4
3k isnt gonna be far off of whats r1 title is gonna be
I have AV 23 in my bags but am scared to commit
i think
3k will be top 1%
and r1 will be like 3150
your revenge casts are way too high
your SS casts are way too low
your TC casts are also too low
you only did a 23dmg parse
not a 79
Well, true but you know how top pushers will help their friends and stuff to get r1, and the score for r1 will get pushed even more late in the season
this is your key based performance
thanks, delusions kek
the parse% in the front, only says how high the key level was for your respective spec
how high is r1 rn ?
I still blame my duo for not wanting to swap to evoker from disc, would've made pugging and some weeks so much easier
for title?
I blame my duo for stopping :/
so more shield slams and thunder claps will solve a good portion of the problem?
title will be around 3190
Oof
as always
ye
yah, amd also, if i go lariat, i have to get wrists
i have a pair in bags sbg haste versa, or i can craft them my self
here is a small comparison between my log and your log
just, i still have to work out what im guna do in that situation, so dont weant to commit lariat
i have the r1 dmg parse for pwar in court 21 (at the time the key was done)
but the general gist is:
SS > TC > Revenge
Dmg CDs on CD
Use IP to prevent rage overcapping, no matter what the current situation of Ignore Pain is
Watch it get 100pts higher in a month
youre wasting almost 10% of your rage income, which means youre overcapping rage, not spending it fast enough
i got 1700 mastery with whetstone
this is my 3minute shorter run
but i gained 50% more rage than you
the goal of pwar is to prioritise rage generation
and only wasted 1% of it
i dont even notice that i overcap rage, i feel like that most of the times during bosses im rage starving, ad always trying to mitigate a lot with ignore pain
More rage more revenge = more SS
pay close attention to your buttons and rage
honestly I'll be happy if I get top 1% this season, it's honorable considering that I'm full pugging
Shield Slam more. And then Thunderclap more, because it generates Rage and resets SS
so i should spam revenge only when rage overcapping? Because i use a lot of revenge of every pull and almost starving for it. Wrong mindset i guess
and the more Rage you spend, the faster Avatar comes back, and that generates Rage and makes Thunderclap better at generating Rage and reducing the CD of Demo Shout (which Generates Rage)
no
treat revenge as your filler
and main tool to reset shield slam
If you want to have better chances in key, stick to similar comps, and safe comps, get a warlock for temple always to help on last boss, ferals are solid they always have CDs and brezz, rogues tend to be solid too, evoker will always bring lust DHs are decent. That way, even if the players are different, you'll have a solid notion of what they can do and handle
to prevent overcapping you just fucking send ignore pains out the ass
whenever youre at 60-80 rage
just hit ignore pain
level up these ones or make black smith or engineer bracers
always send SS
for if i ever don't use those wrist
so revenge is not my main rage spender, but ignore pain
Ignore Pain is a button that reduces the cooldown of avatar and shield wall by 3.5s, heals you for 3.5% of you max HP... and just happens to give you the 50% damage absorb as a handy side effect
you want to send revenge when you CANT use Shield Slam OR Thunderclap
when you have too much rage and want to spend it, just send ignore pain
Revenge is mostly for fishing for Shield Slam reset procs
I have those BS bracers. The effect is basically always at 4 stacks.
this is my boss opener when i didnt have all CDs ready on pull
this is yours
notice a difference in casts?
a lot of difference yeah
or here a bit later
yours
mine
youre leaving gaps in your casts done
and starving yourself for rage
by overspending rage on revenge
you can clearly say that my main cast is revenge and im focusing a lot on it
This is also pretty indicative of an issue: 18 casts of Avatar in a 28 minute dungeon is... very low
i ended up with 34 avatars in 26 minutes
i should put a tell-me-when weakaura for SS, TC, Avatar
because of my rage habits
Like... Avatar with a Prot Warrior in full Rage-Cycle mode is a 30-35s CD
rage is the key factor to focus on
maximise its gain and usage
thats why haste is so important/good
example: if im pulling 6 mobs, casting SS, Revenge, TC, SS, etc, will always do more damage then spamming revenge? If hypothetically have infinite rage
The more you can cycle Rage, the faster Avatar comes up
if you have infinite rage
then spamming revenge is more dmg
but you dont have infinite rage
and cant spam revenge
thats why SS > TC > revenge
to get that infinite rage
so...in my case im missing a lot of casts because im starving, because of revenge?
and im missing dps
because generating more rage = more outbursts, more shieldwalls, more avatars, more self healing
more outbursts and more avatars = more rage generation
which in turn means more CDs again
its a huge feedback cycle
okay, that is what Zetakya is trying to explain
idc about optimising aoe sim
5 target patchwerk 5 min
okay that is mindblowing to me now
like really
its somewhat fine
i had a different conception of Prot warr in my mind
On packs, my GCD casts are
10 Shield Slam
20 Thunderclap
30 IF SS reset? THEN GOTO 10
40 Revenge
50 GOTO 30
aoe sim is quite close to reality in sims anyway
Did I catch u up yet?
ok i might not exactly be at 53k but close to it
Yeah; it's the Rage Engine. Everything is about leveraging Anger Management and the other "do X when you spend Rage" effects
like 52.8 or smth
WTF do you even put in the bracers as pwar
you craft em yourself
for a tniker, brez and invispot is ONLY 2 i can think being reliable at al
Do tinker slots count as embellish? If not isnt that ez deeps?
they dont
last question for tonight regarding this rage feedback cycle: generating rage will shorten the CD of basically everything? Even ravenger or roar?
yeah, thats what i mean
Noice ez free deeps
i can make those, and then, have whatever the best tinker is
I gotta up my ST game by alot
this should be really underlined on prot warrior guides
avatar and shieldwall
oh
noice
If you do it right, you get shit like this happen:
guess i gained a few good pieces
can u sim Bigmuscleman-ArgentDawn EU? I am at gym
(that's the entire corridor leading to Sennarth with lust, TBF; but it was a few months ago, and I've seen that Feral hit half a million DPS in there)
i did that in LFR last week to get vault slots in case i needed to pick socket
i did 22mil dmg that pull
Oh it's hilarious on LFR
The meter I showed there was on HC
I have wonderful trinkets. DGE and seed š
Wow I rly underperform compared to my ilvl
atleast you stopped playing the turtle build
good
It's just a shame you didn't try it during SLS3&4. Now there was a Rage Engine #BringBackBanner
for a tank, 7 ilvl > socket for head/pants/chest right? can't really sim the defensive value but I think it is relevant, armor/main stat/stamina
7 ilvl on WHAT, exactly?
you had overall more casts then me? like how many casts
You can't socket Pants or Chest
Woo Nome is also dwarf
okay then head
what is that kek
The banner gave you rage ticks as long as it was up. The legendary extended the duration when you spent Rage. Done right, you could get it past 100% uptime.
beautiful
i played the whole TBC, also as tank, but now that im back with a retail expansion tanking is so different
rage dump felt better back then
a different tale
Sim it, but probably not, because Primary Stat. It's usually only worth downgrading ilvl on Jewellery, because those don't have Pri on them
It was the carpal tunnel syndrome spec, granted
there's a sim that takes into account defensive value?
no, but one gem isn't going to make a noticeable difference in that anyway
I'm just going to go with my gut and use ilvl and then eventually socket the 421 anyways so it won't matter in the long-run
Fair
also you never use shockwave. I feel like im losing a lot of focus because i have to kick-stun-silence adds. I pug with two friends (rogue and druid) and hell we are always short on interrupts
He probably doesn't even have SWave specced; I know I don't
I have it specced
should I care less about stuns for a while? At least until I can perform a proper rage "show"
But hardly any reason to use it in court
I wouldn't
It always good to learn your full kit
oki
Just go with the normal build
And just play, there's not always a reason to just send CC for the sake of it
Go my build for max dungeons slice dps kekw
Not a point wasted on low skill talents like spell block
Spell Block is invaluable in some dungeons, but not others
But u can just reflect š
Tell that to rock guys
My goal isto get used to get rid of SS reduces Wall CD by 5 sec talent
?
And use 1 tick of 10% bleed dmg
Why?
Bloodbourne is bad, okay?
10% bleed dmg is roughly 2.0% dps increase for me in dungeons
If Bloodbourne were 1 talent point for the current 2 talent point effect I still probably wouldn't take it
Ez 1k dps
If i do a +15SBG for example, and log it with my prot warr 411 ilvl, and follow your tips, and get the right feel...would you recommended it?
Isn't it just wall cd?

If so must do more think rip
D-did you read the talent?
additional 3 rage by SS
I did higher than that at lower ilvl
because you know how to play
SBG is a dogshit easymode dungeon though
ofc i did it too, but i dont know how to play
+15smbg is tankable at like 360ilvl
Should be fine 
Yeah I smell the preworkout from here
Would need to kite bones tho
And I might fail timing the TPing pink void walker alone
1 DH with me maybe
How would you fail
Cuz solo
Go beat on the tanking dummy and see how high you can get its stacks
The other pack would banish it to me
You would fail on first boss
Cuz it wouldn't die
Ever
It heals when the mob reaches the boss
will do
tbh I forgot what a 15 is like so maybe not xd
And you prio right
You will see improvement
Goal is to get as close to let's say... 30k dps
Over 5 minutes
so 5 minutes of continuous damage to the dummy
30k is the goal
Yeah I think you could manage that with your gear
what abilities can I use? All
Well only your own buffs
sure
No drums, no other party members
Only what's available to you
Doesn't have to be at or more than 30
Just get as close as you can
thanks for all the advice guys
More is always better, but don't stress it too much
Without raid buffs and full stacks of ITF I could also only manage 40k vs boulderfist
advised opener?
ravager->charge+avatar->SB+demoshout->dragon roar->shield charge->shield slam->thunderclap
and then go from there
use IP as needed

happy friday guys!
What's a good embelishment to put on the primal molten defender?
ty
Actually disregard my post
i was gonna put the food buff on a ring after i make a belt. gonna craft a shield first
Can anyone recommend a Prot warrior UI setup without elvui as it kills my PC?
So i have a question regarding trinkets, i currently have a heroic Icon, Heroic Totem of the master, Blazebinder's Hoof, Granyth's Enduring scale, and a Rumbling ruby
Yeah shield may be bad spot cuz if you switch to arms or fury having it on ring may make more sense. But also keep in mind 10.0.7 we will have a new ring. I personally have the food buff extender on my shield but when I play arms I do find myself missing it.
which trinkets would you reccomend for me in raid
I personally would prob just use icon and all totem. All totem loses value when not tanking though, so may not be the correct pick in the big picture but I like all totem
seems like the answer for raid is icon, and find a better trinket
isnt hoof pretty good tho, got like 600 haste and strength on use
Yah i never used it before but it is better than all totem for raid
Icon and hoof is the best duo probably
fuck sake man
I only parsed 98 on this heroic eggnog
cause the kill was so slow I bet
Woah it's the crt dragon
eggnog parsing is literally just who pads harder on adds
its a lmao fight
even on mythic the fucking captain dies so quick cause everyone holds CDs for "muh parse"
cool I parsed 99 on terros
Yeah it's annoying
if i valor my hands and wrists and hoof i can hit the first haste threshhold
Last set of adds on mythic the adds died in 3 GCD lol
Our two fury warriors save everything for first add spawn
i had some amazing ring drop and i traded it to a pug lol
The idea of me parsing on that fight as prot is a forgotten joke
Fun to try to get a 99/100
Pretty
this ring, i should have never traded it away god damnnit
Lmao
440 haste socket
I like it when I can pump and get nice parses but if I have to setup and ask around to do things itās just too@much work and stress for nothing (at least for me)
i alweays do this shit, i get some loot and someone wants it so i give it to them
even without a socket next one of those that drops im just keepin it
Anyone know any good websites for M+ routes?
hold w.
That ring wonāt matter soon we getting cool ring
Keystone gurus I think

simplest season for routes ever
av frog skip is the only "tech" you really need to know
agree, but at +20 it optimization makes a difference
not really
I miss atal dazar and shrine of the storms / motherlode
i hate atal dazar due to the timer
Idk if we're gonna agree on that, but regardless I apprciate the link!
undersuck is the worst
Underrot sucked for sure
cuz, every god damn trash has a wipe group thing
Shrine became my groups baby. So much time spent in that dungeon
nothing below a 22 needs any special pulling or route
hell even 23-24s are hold W if your dps pump
shrine was if you could kill the 3rd boss you were good to go
long as everyone just looked for circles p2 final boss
Last boss could get tricky on tyrannical
boss 2 didnt matter because it only gains dmg when u interupt under the 1 effect she has
Reflecting third boss and being top dps oh baby
so that was a u fucking up thing, and u just had entire team stop all interupt during that
cuz ppl go brr interupt her
cuz coming from legion it felt like garbage
That is true legion was better
azurite armor was an awful replacement for artifact weapons
True it was worse but I think bfa was a āgreater than the sum of its partsā xpac
I fully admit i quit bfa halfway through mythic prog in uldir
so it may have gotten better idk
legion initially felt like shit unless you got omegapog lucky with legendary drops
if i wanted to, i could have so much haste right now
ok maybe trying to parse well is too much stress
I just got legitimately mad that my co-tank taunted the spider add away from me on sennarth
Pretty sure I spent more time farming maw of souls then actually raiding in legion at first.
lmao
