probably get another 500 ish through upgrading remaning gear, maybe 250 300 better estimate
Yogi when u gonna start doin 20s and just gettin 405 gear to upgrade
I guess you’re almost fully upgraded soon anyway though
nahhh if i wanted to completely valor its, well, its alot of runs lol
maybe some time
What is max ilvl u can upgrade at the moment
411 still been at just under 2100 for a week or 2
411 not bad
bfa had good raids after uldir
uldir wasn't all that bad, just not my vibe
legion had so many early frustrations that people kind of forget now
you wanna offspec? cool, enjoy your weeks behind weapon and no relevant legendary (if you were even lucky enough to get one for your main spec)
and the first raid was a joke
yeah, i just don't think anyone is looking at bfa through rose colored glasses
bfa is commonly accepted as "expansion bad"
where now legion has become "the good days"
The function of Shadowlands was to make BfA look better by comparison.
even corruptions ended up in a pretty cool place after a sketchy initial acquisition period
i had a great time in shadowlands, haters be damned
Nathria was good (but Season 1 Mythic+ sucked ass)
Sanctum of Domination sucked and Mythic+ was... better than Season 1
SotFO sucked but Mythic+ was good
Season 4 was just weird (but Nathria was still good)
sanctum is let down by a few real bad fights but the middle section is quality
i thought sofo was great
Tho TBH I quit for most of Season 4. I was just done with the expansion
in a few years i'm gonna remember sanctum as "the one with painsmith" and be happy about it
It wasn't really the fights I disliked in SoD; it was the walking. I get that they wanted to make an epic-scale Raid, but it just endded up being 9 million miles of walking, and then ended up with a final boss that was another 9 million miles of walking
That fucking Bridge after The Nine...
sylvanas was a pretty great fight to one-shot on normal and... bad for most anything else
"Here's 3 minutes of walking. Great content, huh?"
3 minutes is a pretty big exaggeration lol
but i get what you're saying, that just doesn't bother me in my guild, we just goof off in downtime and it's fine
And SoD looked especially bad for walking when compared to Nathria, which managed to be a well-sized raid yet be quick to get around once cleared, thank to the mirrors
honestly my biggest strike against 9.1 is that everything was just grey
Yeah, true
i get the aesthetic they were going for but it was too much, and an especially bad one for a long content drought patch
Season 3 M+ was a lot better because Tazavesh really lived things up
I adored Streets of Wonder
Great Dungeon
man, day 1 hard mode tazavesh was a 9.1 highlight
return oif mechagon was pog
my guild divided into three squads and raced blind, it was great
I did Tazavesh Hard mode for the mount and didn't go back until S3
Yeah that was fun
oh i did it quite a lot, was good for class stacking for alt gearing
ubrs maybe, lbrs no
I think they've said that MoP is as far back as they are comfortable going for future M+ recalled dungeons
yeah, the level of rework needed starts to negate the point
even TJS is really weak in terms of clarity and visibility of mechanics
how could they not do the cata dungeons
forge master with the 3 different weapon stances? anyone remember him pre nerf?
vortex pinnacle and one of the boring looking fire ones
grim batol would need to rethink the bombing run a bit but otherwise solid
TBH a return of the elemental-themed ones would make sense for a season
grim batol fits the dragon theme
Stonecore, Vortex Pinnacle, Throne of Tides
pre nerf stone core was horrible
ugh not a fan of stonecore or throne
i remember every boss being over tuned
and halls of origination is on my Absolutely Not list
Pace wise, TolVir would be nice to see again
and god fuck that spy part, hes not a spy he goes and gets more help
yeah, some of that with sanguine, lets see how it goes okay
I really hope they rework the affixes. The affix system is showing its age
end time would work because last boss is a giant dragon and its about murazond thing
End Time is a fucking awful Dungeon
Its only redeeming feature was getting to stab Tyrande
the egos crushed in mythic nighthold was hilarious
you can multiple lust on the final boss
so many apps with CE EN thinking I gave a fuck about it
and all your CD's are reset, whats more fun than that for dps player
this one's pretty easy to sim since it's just consistent 4 targets, your average kill time
man, I had like a 99th percentile dps
until half the group died and it took forever to finish the last couple off
:(
Thats prolly what im gonna run
This week is slow in wow, I'm playing death stranding and Metroid prime and diablo
No keys no game
death stranding has the best walking in video games
primo walking mechanics
not even remotely joking
I'm in chapter 3, is there a media player of sorts to replay music? It's a cool cozy feeling when you are heading into a new area and boom, new song
I don't remember, it's been years
Fair
It's been sitting so long in my library and I recently decided to give it a try again
I didn't quite finish it because my ps4 suddenly exploded
and then the real pandemic happened and it took a while to replace
I should go back one day
I got the regular one on steam and recently got the directors cut on PS5, the controllers add a bit of depth to the game
Hmm
barely any of us use the talent tbh
I think it's a good insurance... no?
It's not
its too buggy
Unreliable
80% less dmg taken and healing done x2 for 8 sec don't sound bad?
if you can find a good weakaura you'll notice it pops at really irrelevant times though
that one doesn't work...

Aight finally fixed my parses for heroic
Never going back to raz again
Feels good man
Not all 99s tho 
transmog is the end game before the real end game of doing 99 parse
Best timewalking xpac to dungeon spam as tank?
I usually start off with bc cause the dungeon quests are super big xp, then I move on to WoD after
you can get 4 lvls off rip if you get the right BC dungeon
all the quests are inside?
any tips for the panda boss on higher keys? The healing absorb hit just wrecks me on tyranical weeks
"-TJS 3rd boss - You can Spell Reflect the fire phase kick. For the Jade phase, use SW/SR/Spell Block/DS + IP to mitigate initial hit, followed by IV/LS/Healthpot to help reduce healing absorb. If you cast Spell Block just before the kick lands, you can cover 2 kicks with it.If possible ask your DPS'ers to keep CD's for the second phase."
from pinned
yes
Legion for the transmogs, BfA for the quickest queues
With the caveat that in BfA you stand the highest chance of getting complete newbies ofc
classic dungeons mostly go very fast and have quests inside for first time completion
wouldnt shadowlands have the most noobs
shadowlands got the GOAT dungs tho
halls and NW both takes like 10 minutes
except NW has stitchflesh
I usually do classic
Honestly would like them to open up literally every dungeon to random queue. I know a lot of people have requested it
new accounts still get shoved into BFA
Hey all , new prot warrior here. What weapon should i be going for primarily a M+ player? got the cutlass atm from algethar
Doesn't matter. Ilevel is what matters on weapon/shield, not stats.
ok sweet
the strike twice sword from nokhud has some free bonus dmg if you have the choice between same ilvl its bit ahead
what flasks and food and pots do prot wars use ?
What is your average impending victory overall heal?
I have like >80% on IP and SB but I somehow do not pump crazier heal numbers in 16-18s (15-17k hps overall)
I might missuse impending victory
hps is pretty pointless
your blocked hits may be a bit low if you only have 80 % SB uptime tho
You can increase your hps by not pressing shield block
Tepid vers or eye in the storm for flask, fated fortune cookie for food
Sorry guys new to warrior whats Iv,ds,Ty 😎
Impending Victory and Demoralizing Shout
I've just crafted the frostfire belt , should I go for lariat next?
If you haven't made shield/sword or have them at high ilevel already, they should be your first two crafts.
ahh crap, well i had a 382 sword drop from M+ so thought id make the belt first as i only had a ilvl340 belt
guess i could craft a shield then
Primal Whetstone
AP weapon enchant
Vs Haste weapon enchant
The non-permanent one
Haste
Can anyone link a good route for AV 20? Not sure what people are pulling in there.
https://keystone.guru/sn0L4jA this is what i do - you can trade out the 2 elementals before the ring with the 2 guards in the back of 2nd boss room
Tip for grievous as prot?
use IV
get a friend with a mage alt that can give you food before you start doing keys
Understand the limitations of your healer, don't endlessly chain pull if you know they don't have the ability to top the party off instantly. Invite shadow priests.
enhance/feral/sp is the livelord dps comp this week
not public 
oops - try again
thank you. pull 3 and 4 I've messed up a few times. how do you not pull them both?
for 3, just heroic throw one of the 3 lashers in the back and a lasher on the side then run back into the room with pull 2
then 4 you just do where it is
oh so you don't trigger when they run through the whelplings?
yeah nothing triggers those besides stepping in the circle or damaging them
i personally do. you lose a lust otherwise and the 1st boss shouldn't really require it
i think i calculated that it was 33 (rounded up) +200bonus-valor runs JUST for wrists and hands, but at least they are big haste
Qu: Does Bitter Immunity help remove Jade Serpent Strike at 3rd boss Temple?
so i gave up inside and stopped running my keys lol, i dont REALLy want to run 50 +3 sbg's
what do you mean? like starting from an m0 item and fully upgrading?
it might as well be
it sounds like you're intentionally doing things the hard way lol
like, 100 runs, and i could have EVERYTHING including a set of 2 2-hand weapons
to 411
thats more keys then i've ran all season
i mostly run medium, low, and baby keys
ill get on 16's some point, i just cant be fuckin arsed with shit like COS and tyranical TJS boss 3 debuff
i hate cos, hov is cooli think theres a certain line wiith wow difficulties and it just crosses right over into masochism for the average wow player, and then they quit, thats how it is in other video games for me. "nope, its too hard i got my ass beat and only killed 1 guy, screw that"
Cos so free tho
cos is fun
lots of room to make up time and do big pulls, basically all dmg is avoidable
my 22 cos i was arms and we got crit + haste buff 
The only thing i HATE of CoS are the trees
God, i cant barely see anything sometimes
CoS needs gardening ASAP
bro 16s aren't much harder than 15, just do them and upgrade your crafted gear
so, third boss in TJS, jade phase. I spell block 1st, shield wall 2nd, last stand third. What do you do for the next few? I find myself biting thee dust far too often theere
CoS sucks ass if your group doesn’t know most of the tricks in there
That being said if you do know all the cool tricks in there the key is blazing fast and very easy
Anywhere to look for the cool tricks?
There's a very handy weak aura as well, that prints out what it does and who can use any of the items once you mouseover them
On a tjs pug I will usually talk with the healer before the key starts to lay out a cd rotation for each one so super strong cds don’t get overlapped
Ideally there's not more after the first three. Double shield wall is nice for this boss.
Health pot
Impending victory
You have more than just those 3. Spell reflect every other . Demo 1 and 4.. last stand and rally after the hit to help heal the debuff… spell block lasts for 2 hits. Health pot. IV every other
Also use wall on first instead of spell block, so you can build your wall back up for later. So wall first spell block 2+3 wall 4. Pair each up with demo or spell reflect or iv heals
Goes without saying . swap to d stance for each hit
20 cos at 393 item level success
we are blasting
warrior legends, I main a healer and you fine brown tanks are the only guys I struggle to heal on Jade Phase of TJS. These are 23-24 keys, what are the secrets? How can I chat with my tank to help them live
Seems like Battle Scarred Vet would be super strong there?
BSV is bugged, and yea we dont heal much outside IV and LS so healer has to do the majority
best you can do is coordinate when to use externals/personals
so you dont overlap
I know one thing I do on my warrior is just straight up jump away to give the healer an extra global or so
but im running like 18-20s on my prot so its a different story
if we get like, 5 jade st rikes it seems pretty GG for the warrior in most cases
3 very manageable, 4th gets kinda sus, 5th is usually death
you will have SW back for the 4th/5th, if your tank runs spell block as well that covers 2+3
then IV+LS+healthpot/lockstone for the last one
realistically it's not that bad
ive healed some warriors where it feels super fine and easy, and others where im panicing every single strike
i basically do the same thing as heals no matter the tank
most likely player issue rather than class issue
tbf comparitvely warriors are much, much harder to heal thru that boss
but i dont disagre that they should be fine in most cases
assuming they are playing well/coordinated
Yeah it’s fine for me and the healer at the 23 level.. but we are in discord and I properly dr every hit
really looking for any tips or tricks I can say to my warrior tank, talent changes, etc
Look at what I typed above. Have him do a text weakaura that plans out 5-6 hits
Using healer cds as well
yeah if I can coordinate my external (i'm evoker) with theirs to guarantee DR it's usually fine
ah i see
Yeah you can dilate first and 5th I believe
And have him set up his cds around that. Always pair up 2 things
dk can probably solo that boss
however, they get rekt by Dark claw 😄
true, they have to range most of the casts or die
running max range from boss during jade i think is undervalued too
from a healer POV it makes a huge difference
its frequently 2 extra globals before the boss starts meleeing you
Idk if it’s worth to not be generating rage .. i usually just charge right back in and go ham
You can give your healer a few secs before you charge, but I've noticed the lines come out all over the place when I do that, they tend to be semi consistent if I charge
You can also have a DH taunt and meld, a feral once told me they could take one hit but I said I was fine
Dh is meta. You can meta mid air time the hit and it’ll zero it out. But kinda cuck to hold meta haha
meld works too
Yea if anyone had it
just tanked sennarth heroic, other tank whispers me "have u done this fight? ok good, taunt at 5 stacks"
i start on boss
i hit 30 stacks
screaming in say chat for a taunt the en tire time
lolololol
"I said you taunt, I didn't say anything about taunting back
"
How good is having AG for third boss temple? I've heard it can top off a tank
It can almost 1 shot heal the debuff
Nice
whats AG 😄
Had one say he’s gunna lose about 10k dps but did some shaman magic to pump a fat surge into each jade
Haha, better than potentially bricking the key
Ancestral guidance
i can survive 4 x jade serpent strikes but i will die on the 5th
that is talented with double wall, BSV and Shield Block
i learned some crazy tech for bird boss as evoker healer
you can dispel like 9 bleeds per boss encounter
Bsv is bugged. Double wall really isn’t amazing for that dung since you can get it up twice for that fight already. Look at the pins, you gotta plan out 5-6 hits for higher keys
Yeah with stasis cauterize right?
Yeah I heard of it, told our evoker and it changed that fight for us big time haha
Plus I’m dwarf so I can get 2 myself
Many stasis combos were discussed early on the season but people started arguing it would be very situational
have had no issues without it until about 23-24 keys
so the trick here isnt really the combo but its that cauterizing flame will reset its CD if one of the stasis'd cauts fails to dispel
so you stasis two of them on the tank, use it to dispel one bleed, the 2nd one resets teh CD
That's really nice, not having to worry about bleed for most of the screeches
An 18 is not a big key, if you are dying there is because of the healer
You can sit def stance if you want during jade phases
any key is a big key if your group's gear is low enough 😄
True
make sure you dont hit last stand before the debuff
since it increases heal absorb
But if they are not close to 413 with valor uncapped on their mains idk
pressing it after should eat some of the absorb right?
yeah
double dippin
you mean last stand makes the debuff worse if pressed too early?
Yeah
jade serp strike is a heal absorb
how to beat it? heals
last stand heals you
so you use it after the hit
oh ok it's not actually making the initial absorb bigger though
doesn't appear to be based on max hp at least from dungeon guide
if u press LS before the hit, then there is no healing
i dont think the strike is %based
but yeah you're just denying yourself a big chunk of healing into the absorb
i just remember weekly no leavering a 20 tyr in the early weeks and our arms warrior playing prot was in there just flopping
we pulled that boss like 8 times
I always forget to channel a bit the zandalari racial to heal a bit
we were all guild and our healer and tank were getting spicy on that fight lol
Make sure you’re also on the same side of the room as healer, the run out could potentially out range you from each for a short time
This is actually super important
the boss always fires one of the waves where the tank was right
That fight is entirely tank/healer fight, brood keeper healer ring helps too, that trinket ticks super fast
and then like 90 degrees off from the previous for the rest?
or is it offset from where the tank was?
I have zero idea, I just know if I charge, I get inside her hitboxx, then she repositions herself and the rest of the fight can get chaotic
stasis is the strongest CD in the game and i fucking love it
Hey guys real quick one
Storm eaters boon
Worth taking as prot?
Wait nvm it rolled offspec
Ive become so fatigued by the pug cultural in M+. I'm doing 23/24 and I sit in LFG for 80% of my play time and rarely, if ever, run a second key with a group.
The M+ community discords haven't been fruitful for me as I find most people aren't in this range. Im considering just joining the Evoker, Rogue, etc. discords and trying to recruit players feel the same from their respective class discords but thats edging on being cringe lol.
Does anyone have solid advice for finding players in this range that want to push? I have plenty of people on bnet, but everyone is ~50 IO above or below my spot and seemingly doesn't want to run keys that aren't score which is becoming difficult...
can you play battle stance on non fort weeks
I sit bstance 95% of the time. I pop defensive stance on specific occasions where I need a DR.
- Crawth peck/bleed
- Vex frontal
- Doing a insane quadruple pull with SW/LS on CD
- etc
cheers
Good luck finding players who share the same ideal, most people I've found either a) think they are too good to be with me b) don't dps good enough to be on that key level and c) they simply prefer to pug keys.
C being the more predominant one, people don't like to feel attach to other players nor the commitment to work together. For a person to successfully run high keys you need people with the correct mindset, good players who understand things will happen, keys will deplete, and practice makes perfect
I don't know if the younger generation of players is different, or if pugs are too scared to ask. I personally don't mind depleting and trying new things but you always get players who will sigh, or leave or nag at the smallest things
C is also my experience... Im so surprised with how the community has gone anti-discord. Back in BFA and into early SL I feel like even 15s people would group up in discord and we'd make friends and groups and keep pushing. I feel like I'm playing with NPCs who just disband after the first wipe and dont want to join a discord or take bnet friends, instead of fixing the broken key, learning, and continuing to push.
Im currently lurking the raider.io recruitment page and directly messaging people trying to put together a team D: Pray for me lol
A & B is also a big problem. I cant get score because I dont get a chance to get a lock in keys so I cant play with good players (who in turn dont want to play with me) so im relegated to playing with players 200 io below me who are progging keys that arent score for me (and I suppose im apart of the same im problem im experiencing from A lol)
Something I've done in the past is opening lfg and writing a note something like x.xxx tank looking for a push group. Some people take notice, I just alt tab and go back to check messages and people
this is an angle for sure
That's why for me 3k is my goal, only 60 pts away, with the little time I got to invest and playing with a disc duo I think that's a fair score
I ve gone from "I want to compete and show I'm good" to "I know I'm good so why compete" type of mindset
i hit 2800 and gave up
Of course far from being a sense or a Nome but better than your regular fotm at least 
spend all day burning keys with randoms that leave on first wipe
play arms, get 0 invites cuz mEtA
Im 3033 and so close to title. Im like 8 timed keys away lol
I got told no to an 18 last night cause “arms didn’t have stun”
I have a few peeps on my friend list who I helped get to 2800 from a low score, they dipped and now are close to 3.1k but they pug all day
Just want to make sure I understand the pins correctly in regards to RLP and Crawth. I want SB up for the initial hit.. eg..."Peck"...... and THEN SW, etc etc. correct? I feel like I'm gonna panic and hit it for the initial hit lol
Ok ty...that's what I was thinking too
I'll just wait for the next two "push weeks" and call it a season, probably will work on gearing my mage or a prot pala
Peck gets progressively harder correct? Is it pretty much one per screech?
does demo shout increase the dmg of whetstone
prevoker meng
it gets harder because screeches also hit harder
fun shit
i swear when i look at logs there seems to be some interaction with a dmg bonus
What are considered the next two push weeks?
I would say next two weeks are push week, volcanic is a non affix and sanguine can be managed by correct positioning, kiting and some classes
sanguine/volc for sure.
then after tyr with raging and storming, storming is also a non affix for the most part
its raging storming fort or tyr?
tyr
Yeah, it's pretty chill imo, I was running fort raging with one soothe and it was awful
I gotta say, when you do the hyrja swap perfectly you know people either think you are a godtank or don't know what happened but roll with it, and it's an awesome feeling to get it right
Had 0 trinketdrops in raiding, I have pretty much all m+ trinkets though, which ones would you advice besides my 421 whetstone? Can upgrade any to 415
I like to have a one on-use only
I would say sim it, I'd go with toe or hoof
That’s a double on use though
this is what I run, 415 whets, 421 hunger
Do you run with a set grp of people?
What can a tank do to help his pug group on 2nd boss of NO ? Or just "nothing, it's on them"
You can reflect

But it doesn't help them survive ?
Does anyone know if you can create a macro or cast sequence for charge and shield charge?
You can tell people to not fight healer for orbs
You mean "assume they don't know tactics" ? 😉
Yes
People tend to sit on a fixed position near melee nowadays and healer usually roams outer ring until the healer has necessary stacks, plus its a waste of time to lose dps to chase orbs when they tend to come to you
when did spitefull storm trinket get that good for prot warrior
Only good if things can live a long time. Pretty sure you have to be hitting the same target too no?
ah ok
doesnt matter which target you hit
the stacking effect has actually no benefit
it loses as much procrate as it gains in extra dmg done
so its a net 0
unless that has been changed since i last tested it
Ah I know when I tried it earlier in the expansion start the thing did 0 damage. It was my understanding that the problem was it needed to be single target and the mob had to live for at least several minutes for it to do anything worthwhile. Could be wrong though.
hm
Like you could fight other targets it just wouldn’t buff the stacks on the original target
from checking logs it does appear to only be strong on super long fights
Weird trinket though I’ve avoided it since. Would maybe use a mythic one on raz or something 🤣
Really should’ve been tuned different to something more consistent in performance with it being an end boss trinket and all that
Cap to the stacks maybe? Or lucky rng?
yeah okay so, it looks like the trinket is static afterall
every log i check, it does around 3.6k dps
even when i check only p3 rasza
its 3.6k dps
To be fair I haven’t put much time or thought into the trinket after it initially seeing how dog it was. That even in short fights?
for this DK over 6:30 it did only 2.4k dps
cuz it was heroic vs mythic item, ic
yeah so my inital statement is correct, the dmg of it ramps up, but the proc rate gets reduced at an equal rate as it gains dmg
so theres no need for it to stack up to become good
Even 2.4K seems like an ok amount but it definitely did no where near that when I tried earlier in the xpac. Could’ve maybe been buffed or changed in its consistency since
Thing was doing like 1% of my damage when I tried it
Good to know though thanks. Maybe I need to pull it out again and give it a try.
So maybe not the case. Decent in ST it seems.
mastery boys are everywhere
That me
friend of mine did 78 CoS runs
just to get ring
loads and loads of trade runs with friends
do it
kk
you wont do it
i jk but yeh
always in vault as well
Can't even give necks away lol. Ez vender loot
i gotta farm like, 7k valor before 2h fury weapons that are 1k per tap
when it costs 750 to do a 1h and shield sdfjksdfj sdkfjkxzcnvcxmzkjnv wtf blizz
its their way of saying
hello friends - what recommended talent page for crawth at 22? that thing is fucking DESTROYING me
dont change spec
1,000 god damn valor lol
i havent changed out of prot all xpac
I haven't yet either
prot 
is ice cutter a frontal?
No, but you can outrange it
ok thx. needed to prove my healer wrong 😄
Prevoker healer with stasis tech.
That and pins
Fr prevoker makes it a joke
With dwarf you ignore the first 7 pecks or some shit
Dwarf pally you get 2 more outs with bop/bubble
i do the defensive management fine
just feels like at some point im out of buttons
and im vibing at 40% for 6 seconds
being fed PIs in keys in pretty fun
was a cheeky carry for some alts
consuming stomp, does it proximity dmg?
i got a better ilvl version of those bracers i was going to upgrade, sbg free AF anyways so might get one that has a socket if i continue using that dungeon to farm valor
Can anyone confirm the hyrja desynch still works?
saw it a few days ago
The timing to do it at the pull properly is super tight but yeah it's possible.
Can you outrange the big one (patrol) as well? I feel like I eat it anyway even if I’m far away
i think you can but it’s like 20 yards iirc
tes
yes
i use the first cast as a good time to pull the next pat
just leap away
Aight thanks. I feel like I can save a lot of time here pulling bigger but that big guy scares me
its only really the breath that hurts
Is whelp shell useful if trained correctly for us and if so what training is best
how is your dps so high
Just pressing buttons + pi
Is there a certain verse percentage we are wanting to be at or around
time to craft myself a beltwoo woo
what's PI
power infusion priest + haste
Not amazing, if it's the best you have train it for fire shot (ST)
gives a fuck load of haste on a cd TLDR
priest can put it on who ever they want to
It's a 2min cd which grants somebody 25% haste for 20seconds
mini heroism
i'd get chewed out if i said what i thought it was
cuz i would say 15 seconds instead of 20, and then "yogi misinformation"
Hey Guys, whats the trade of between buttering RAM and Thunderlord?
Rly? Insteat of more uptime on demobuff okay^^
You'll desync CDs from Demo shout
And just buff thin air by 20%
And TL is borderline useless on single target
Whereas battering ram is a good like 1.5k dps gain on ST
pi during avatar in aoe is pretty gud
My favorite thing about the vers question is how the key level has just been creeping up slowly as people push higher keys
Honestly I gotta admit
I don't really know what I'm doing
and still get fat dps because prot warrior is ezpz
damn, 200th on heroic raz
not great, not bad
It really is just press your buttons to get some baseline damage
a
lot
of people just straight ass don't press buttons
Started paying attention to Violent Outburst though
feels fuckin good to hit 300-400k with shield slam
yeah that poops your damage up by a good ass margin
Like the three things to achieve damage are:
- Press buttons
- Use CDs on CD
- Use Outburst on SS
most raid tanks dont know wtf theyre doing when dpsing
another question, RLP scnd boss: does the bolder roll to the player with the most distance?
Raiding is weird because if you're not dpsing then wtf are you doing?
It's not hard to not die, you simply pop defensives when needed which is like 2-3x a minute lmao
just not knowing how your class works
So you just sit there for the rest of the time not pressing things?
a lot of tanks just live and are in no danger of being replaced for their low damage
also a lot of new pwars sit dstance 100% of the time and lose a lot of damage
Yeah I just don't understand how they end up like this
don’t like pugging tank cause you just pull threat constantly from the other guy and it’s boring to sit and not press anything
I'd have to literally try to not do things to do as much damage as the cotanks I get in pugs
I absolutely refuse to not pump
If we wipe cause of it, I'll tell him to make sure to taunt if it's his turn and if he doesn't I'll just kick him and get a new tank
I'm still salty about getting yelled at by some druid tank for apparently taunting eranog when I shouldn't have been
Bruh, I was just pumping 
eranog is so easy to tank it doesn’t matter
when arms fatality hits during stormsurge + tom buff + cs overlap

Mythic eggnog, so if you fuck up the taunts you die (unless your healers are insane)
RLP 1st boss tips? I'm getting blasted by the frigid shards
im a bit undergeared but this seems insane
I'm reflecting and blocking as much as i cna
is shield block a waste of rage?
looks like she doesnt even melee
spell block big but its really just a healer check.
save wall n shit for chillstorm overlap cuz healer is gonna be busy with group
Don't go crazy spending rage on revenge, focus on using your generators and spacing your defs for when they are about to happen
Like sometimes she casts shards then stops and does chillstorm, you get a shard along with a chillstorm explosion but there's nothing really going on between one cast and the other
If you face chillstorm with spellblock you reduce it's dmg
Anyone else notice they get giant fps drops when clicking?
I've noticed recently that when I click to move my camera, it jitters
realised that if I spam click while moving my mouse, my fps literally halves
ill get that damn TJS haste ring
should i resocket to this or let it with versa/Haste sockets and the primäry+haste
why not resocket if you can afford it
SR On Cd and defensive and other is healer problem xD
I was pulling threat from warrior tanks on my dk when I blew cds and flaming them. 0 reason for it.
no, you cant block spells with spellblock if you dont have shield up, and it boosts your SS dmg, and yes, she does little bit of melee
Especially on pull when everyone is blowing CDs and there’s lust up everyone should be throwing as much damage as possible. By the time taunt swaps come out the damage should be past the peak and they can just spam taunt on cd if they’re not good enough at their rotation to hold threat imo. That’s a them problem not a your problem. 🤷🏼♂️
The only time imo that consideration for mid fight over threat was really an issue was Venth Paladin in SOD. Any time I popped wings regardless of other buffs, if the other tank wasn’t pumping I was ripping threat
Spamming taunt when there's a taunt swap sounds risky since you know, DR
you just make the burstiest tank go 1st and then there's almost never a problem
Unless it's raz
There's still cotanks in pugs who are so bad they'll just forever lose threat
it's miserable
ok, let me amend
you just make the burstiest tank go 1st and then there's almost never a problem if both tanks aren't really bad
How do I pad on eranog without getting touched by the lava when I'm TR-ing the adds
shit hurts
It takes like 6 taunts in 20 seconds to go taunt immune. And even with reduced effectiveness, if ripping threat is enough of an issue the tank doing the higher threat won’t even need a fully effective taunt to reestablish solid aggro. It’s honestly a non issue, the DR on taunts doesn’t really become problematic unless you’re quick swapping between the 2 tanks at a rate to where you would hit the 6 taunts in 20 seconds cap and force the boss to go taunt immune
Pretty sure a dk is the only tank that could solo force the cap with deaths echo talented. Based on taunt CDs
It's not 6 taunts in 20 seconds though. It's 6 taunts in a row that are each within 20 seconds of the previous.
(and the 6th taunt would be immune, to be clear)
With the cd on taunts. Plus the fact that the other tank would be resetting the window.
For most swaps when you account for the duration of time tanking the boss
The other tank would not be resetting the window. It's a taunt effect of any kind, not your specific taunt.
Yes they would
Because swaps are longer than 20 seconds
So there wouldn’t be a swap for longer than 20 seconds
And the dr would reset.
Tank 1 only needs a singular taunt to establish their threat so after that taunt 20sec will go by and it will reset
In that specific event, yes. If you taunted and you had the boss for longer than 20 seconds, you would reset the taunt DR. But depending on how long the taunt swap is, you can easily cause the taunts to become immune over the course of an encounter. I've seen people in here asking about that specific scenario because their co-tank spams taunt due to not being able to hold aggro off of them. Whether it's likely or not isn't really the concern, but you shouldn't be telling people it's okay to just spam taunt on a raid encounter.
The only time I have ever seen a boss go taunt immune was The Tarragrue
Tank 2 can use extra taunts if needed to maintain threat, as long as they don’t push tank 1s next taunt to being the 6th taunt in a cycle
Sire and Tarrauge are the only ones in recent memory this happened on.
It's also a poor way to keep threat because the taunt window is shortened each time, which means if they can't hold aggro with a full taunt, it's increasingly likely that they're just going to have it instantly peeled off them again because they got no bonus threat.
It happened in the current raid to someone in this channel. He posted in here maybe a month ago.
I dont disagree. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t something that can be used if you’ve exhausted every other option.
Do you remember what boss it was? The only one I can think that it might happen is Council if they’re not swapping correctly
ngl I would yell at my co-tank if they were doing so poorly they couldn't hold aggro off me.
No I'm looking for it rn
sure yell at them to play better
w/e
Ah yes, blame the tank who’s performing well not the one who’s performing so poorly they can’t keep threat
no
shut up
dont continue to wipe your raid to basic dumbass tank mechs
because your co-tank is bad
nobody cares about your tank heroic parse
nobody
if you're literally wiping because of it and the quickest path to victory is reducing your personal output a little, sure
The only time I've had issues was when my regular co-tank was away and we had someone offspeccing who was about 390 on HC bosses
They could survive fine, but holding aggro against my Shield Slams was an issue
Bro is big mad rn.
Monk "I have the boss"
Me: Crits
took you a while to type that up i see
I was waiting to see how many more messages you would send

Was hoping it would fill my screen
🍿
@void skiff looks like it was Kurog
Failing to maintain threat isn't the fault of the tank ripping threat except in very specific cases. A failure to hold threat tho, on average, is a failure on that tanks part at playing their class to the standard they should be for the content they're attempting. If you're In mythic and you can't hold threat when it's your turn to tank, you shouldn't be tanking mythic. There's no one tank class that insanely more damage that you can't hold threat.
Its your failure to adjust your play in the moment to compensate for the situation presenting itself 🙂
Lol k
If you're doing your basic rotation and pulling threat. That's not you bud.
That them
No because now you're stifling your resources by mismanaging your rotation to compensate for their failures.
The better solution us to go over logs with them and help them be better
Not make yourself worse
Thats the solution after the raid/pull
My solution is for fixing the issue in the present pull
is it better to get the allied bracelets or the frostfire belt
belt if you have raid rings.
ah k
Wish the helmet proceed off of our bleed bonuses. That would have been cool as an alternative to the belt.
Sundering strike debuff lasts 35 seconds....
That's very strange I would have thought council or eranog or maybe even senna. But kurog is odd
ok if this is mythic raiding i will agree that if you're ripping off someone after they've taunted once already they really gotta figure that out
Hey! Probably often asked, but would I miss out on much if i macro my ignore pain to one of my other abilities. My prot warrior is an alt with which i wont be pursuing anything more challenging than 20s
yes i saw the pin but it also warns to not use it as the regular SS button
so... would I be in trouble if i did?
how so? not trying to be antagonizing, just to get better understanding
It would constantly drain you of rage if you macro'd it to other things
rage management is like, the entire spec
and you want to do it intentionally
I mean prot warrior is prob one of the classes with least amount of buttons
okay, thank you!
Basically, you'd turn SS on most casts into not even generating rage, instead costing rage
which is horrible for your rage economy
It means you get to spend less rage on Revenge due to generating less, meaning you generate even less rage due to lower amounts of SS due to not getting resets.
The reason that macro even exists isn't for IP's sake; it's for Shield Slam's sake
Specifically, it'll help you snipe SS resets when going to press IP
Hey Pumpers, I see some (high key) warriors using "Instigate" over "Bloodsurge" as Rage regeneration, thoughts on this? 🙂
it's better in ST
I think it might be better in 2 targets, as well
Bloodsurge is the AOE pick, Instigate ST pick. I want to say it gets outdone at 3 targets, but I wouldn't know really. M+ is pretty much always properly Bloodsurge unless you're doing something weird
Ahh I see that makes sense, SO also on Terros for example i should go with this
and even then, bloodsurge won't be that bad
In almost all raid encounters iirc you should run instigate; adds aren't quite alive long enough for Bloodsurge rage gen to matter? I don't really raid this tier, though, so
hey guys on waht point u use heavy repercussions vs into the fray?
some haste breakpoint?
32%
In keys, pretty much always HR unless you somehow manage to get 40% haste pre-buffs
since it stops you from dropping Shield Block
Which is more important than the relatively minor increase in AOE damage you get from rocking ITF
that make sense
In raid, you can guarantee the 5 stacks of ITF at all times (unless you somehow manage to end up in a group where the only melee are tanks or something wild), so its more useful there, as well as the fact that there are, in fact, situations where you're not tanking
yeah i was asking for keys im so lost some times on talents for 20+
Just default to what's in pins and you're good for 20s
You get penalised over 30% haste right
It's not enough to make getting more haste less worth it, plus we still don't comfortably hit uptime at that point
And yeah, that
So if you're at 40%, where the harsher scaling kicks in, ITF still gives you the whole percents it gives
i really dont like pins with intimidating shout
Like, Int Shout will give you more bang for your buck than any other talent choice in M+ most of the time
It's more survivability and lets you pull bigger, which is more of a DPS increase than swapping to ITF would ever let you do due to having more stops available
but you can swap off it if you want
Got it for sure u are right
Another question the eranog mythic ring is worth? For dropping a haste ring? I have the court one 415, the haste/vers 415 and the eranog 421
Having a bit of trouble with large aoe pulls If shout isn’t up after thunderclap what’s best way to keep gathering? Does demo shout have a high agro to it also. Thanks in advance
I hate my 408 eggnog ring
it depends on your stats elsewhere. The Eranog ring basically fulfils all my Versatility needs (with a bit from Tier), so every other slot I can go "F Vers" on
I go entire dungeons without pressing challenging shout. It shouldn't even really be on the radar outside of kind of niche situations. TC and Revenge should do most of the work for you
Thunderclap, Ravager on self, Windscar Whetstone, Revenge
and Shield Charge
Aight will keep working on it
Just think of tree room in acadamy people wanna attack so fast I have a bit of trouble
These affixes fucking suck
They very healer intensive which sucks while pugging lol next week is a good week though
My friend was healing like #1 on WCL numbers
and we still failed

not really sure what to do about that
I'm just playing other games, I'm the kind of guy with the "every week is a push week"mantra except this week, f this week
This is a very sucky week
how does spell block works on 3rd boss in TJS?
Mitigates the initial hit of Jade Serpent Strike
tbh i find this week a lot less painful than the fort enrage week we just had
Huh. I found this week to be quite chill. But then, I ain't a healer so that is nice. VR removes any lingering grevious from myself.
Just bring Fury or DHs for high self sustain, and bosses seem to just flop.
Yep, a good week overall 
yeah i heard healers noping out of this week but healthbars are a lot more stable and predictable compared to enraged fort mobs spamming some aoe and random uninterrupted spells nuking people down
My friend is healing enough to reach #1 on wcl for this weeks affixes
and it's still brutal
It's not really fun, just feels annoying
what point do you guys like to take out on the prot side to slot into a niche talent
ive been untalenting punish but idk if thats a bad decision compared to say violent outburst
never remove violent outburst
yeah i figured its too good, its a tough last point to move around
typically disrupting shout or occasionally battle scarred veteran
Never take bsv it sucks
yeah im talking really occasionally
You can drop instigate/bloodsurge
if disrupting shout is that valuable
like on dathea or raz
or even impenetrable wall
but that's prob a bad idea idk
i like that idea thanks ill give it a shot
disrupting is nice i think i been trading the cd reduction for demo shout when i want it
Pretty sure the recommended talent to drop for disruptive is show of force
yeah its a tight point lol prot tree has no wiggle room
I mean, it does. You're just giving up damage for utility.
It's definitely a very modular tree, tbh.
disrupting shout has saved me a lot though esp being off the gcd
Anyone have any tips for tyann 22+ rlp first boss?
Trying to be efficient with spell blocks/reflects, smashing IP, and 2 charges of shield wall, but there's points where I'm out of DRs
Ayhe just better management
Well you don’t have many other options besides that. You probably saving demo for adds too, maybe roll in some healer cds and that’s as much as you can do really
Might even switch D-Stance when adds are up
Guys do I need to spec to fury to get the whetstone? Ty
or arms
Yea it doesnt drop for protection
Ty guys appreciate it 👍👍😎
Guys is there a catch up system for 380 gear did I read somewhere? Ty
what should I typ my crafter?
not really. You can buy 343 gear from the AH. You can make 392 gear with sparks after you get them, but you're only guaranteed 5
the "catchup" system is grinding the storm invasions
you can get a couple of 385s a week from doing the eggs
hello, in which dungeons should i run spell reflect and not tough as nails?
So far I like it in temple and azure vaults
Hello. I did today 21 Academy and I reached the bird. That boss requires to have decent healer with you? I basically tried to stay alive like crazy until 20%, my Ignore pain was going down like crazy, used defensives, pots everything..
Yes, the healer should basically be focusing on you between screeches, as there is no other group damage.
Yeah man i don't know, i feel like the healer wasn't there when i needed the most.
would you guys run eye in the storm or vers flask for broodkeeper? think eye might be better in p1 but kinda meh in p2
Spellblock doesnt work on Hyrja frontal right? I recall it not working last night in a +20
i does
besides lariat, and companionship, what do embellishments do you put with frost fire belt for either fire ring
i have 1 408 fire dmg ring and all crafted things mentioned except for lariat
yeah spell block definitely works on the frontal
you still need shield block up for the 100% block chance, might be why you didn't block it
that might be why, probably ran out just as the frontal hit T.T
Oh, i'm looking at some guy, and you can have one of each crafted unique equiipped rings, i could do that possibly,
The 20 key gate is killing me. I have 2 timed 20+'s now. But I almost dont get invited in pugs. Rating = 2550.
Any tips?
18/19 is insta inv
Push your own key
this week is horrible for keys
i'd wait till another tyranical week
i don't even want to think about how bad a 20 TJS boss 3 phase 2 is RN
Yeh might call it a week with 421/418/418 🙂 next week again
probably some shit you plan aound to lust when she goes to phase 2
so you don't have to do 17 JSS attacks
i wish that when she transformed into dragon that was when the scary part came with the healing thing
Double shield wall isn’t great for that dung. You get it up twice either way.
like the breath is now the same effect as the jss
a +10 this week FEELS like a +15 in a pug
on other weeks
i think thgere is more mdi today possibly? poggers
i think its friday saturday sunday 1 to like 6-8 pm
Good deal. Any good teams in this group? I missed last 2 days
tons of groups went boom to stupid shit
I somehow don’t wanna see any group but echo run haha.
one run one of the groups the sabeuteur on boss 1 cannon balista dragon fight, that add got through and did its thing blew up the cannon
so it would have been at least 8 more second to fire another and they got erupted
Guys does anyone run concussive blows + honed reflexes for the 13 sec kick?
Mm ok maybe just CoS with the constructs
if your in a very well put together group of ppl know what they are doing and you can assign kicks on voice chat, maybe, but its still a bit lower dps
Ok thanks
also honed isn't the play even though it lowers SS cd, you are still going to reset SS via devestator effect before 7 seconds, and so the 1 second CDR is wasted.
your group needs to kick more is what the problem is, and they aren't doing it and trying to goad you into "tank you have to kick more spells so u can take less dmg so that we can time the key faster 4head, so take interupt talnts plz"
There are no significsnt 13s recast timers, and 2s isn't enough to be able to be in 2 kick cycles so it's sorta irrelevant
Ill just buy race change high mountain if i want a knockback
I like my warstomp too much
the only thing i truly want, is more valor
little known thing about cos, healers can dispell surpress
so really its not a big deal if the cast gets off

I take the low CD kick, as it allows me to masspull with the centurions - as long I make sure heal don't go off, we good.
Also great for 2nd boss to deny all casts solo 
Why rely on interrupts not being overlapped, when you can do it yourself for no cost. Ez game ez life in the pug world
cuz its a wasted talent point
Hey guys, I'm a prot paladin main, and I've seen on the wowhead guide there's a section for 'builds per dungeon', but I don't see anything quite like for the prot warrior guide. Does that mean there's less variance in talents from dungeon to dungeon?
Warr don't need guides. We just zugzug.
But bring spell block for temple 
Go to pins, check SR list, so you know what's up and down
yeah i've just seen that spreadsheet. definitely not overwhelming for a rookie warrior 😂
Should I be taking intercept for Fenryr in HoV as well?
its nice tech but not required.
Okay, cool, ty. And last question. What's the approx cooldown of Shield Wall when I take Impenetrable Wall. How much reduction should I expect to see?
Take double shieldwall, if ya feel lazy and don't want to minmax your pulls around it 
never take double wall.
Except when lazy. Don't worry about it 
Embrace zugzug, embrace all the laziness
Spend 10 mins + signing up for every cos/sbg you see. You will get a gig. If not this weeek definitely nexy
+20s that is
haha. Did I chose the wrong spec for a new challenge?
I have 2500 on my pala but can't break the 20 wall either.
Go VDH for a challenge, go bigdick max DPS builds.
Warr is super chill and calm, all zugzug
I'll keep that in mind. Didn't enjoy the kiting playstyle in Shadowlands though, so I've not given it much of a chance in DF. Warrior does feel pretty cushy for the most part. Seem to be getting lots of rage, which makes for lots of uptimes.
The talent tree does alot of handholding for pwar to get by
SB value goes burrrr, IP stocks are soaring, SR makes DPS cry. Life is good.
Good and boring
Go VDH, get that rush of being a mortal tank
the spec itself is very simple, especially compared to prot pal
I usually never play alts
1 and done kinda deal
Fair. Guess ya just gotta go higher and pull bigger, never stop. To get that rush
Pull big.. watch dps die. 
Hiya, what are the recommended raid consumables to bring as Protection? Thanks ❤️
What's SR
I feel like prot warrior is on a knife's edge
Rn im literally only on Maintenance mode until I get motivated again
Is it worth talenting down into Shockwave ever?
No
??
cool, thanks ❤️
Pretty sure he means the talents below shockwave
Yeah I did, sorry.
Yeah I avoid grabbing the bonus shockwave talents so I'm not tempted to use it for rage/dps. Keep it for aoe stops.
I guess it depends on the pulls. The biggest I've went on a highish key is a triple pull in Nokhud in the hills area. On a 23. Prot warr feels fine. Spell block for the casters and you're good.
My normal prot key build has storm bolt, intimidating shout, and shockwave for locking down casts and such. Oh and cow stun too. So many options!
no pull is really limited by tank survivability
Yeah. Its mostly casters or non-tank targeted spells that kill the party.
And if anything you just get aggro and run away
The only solution is to bring 5 tanks. Have no limits to pulls 
You'd be surprised how limited you are

Because of your lack of stronger offensive CDs, you opt to pull smaller because its more efficient that way
5tank can infact not pull larger than normal comps, because the pulls live longer

You can chain more often as soon as prio targets are dead
But you can't do any risky pulls
Cuz the risky pull will be 2+ min
And not 30seconds
Say RIP to 650k
Worth?
I got no upgrades in vault so I was pissed so.. wanted to treat myself
Bit of an upgrade
Fuck. I should've resold it
100%
You sir, got no honor.
Ahah fuck pvp
for a prot pally and prot war comp for mythic broodkeeper, which tank would you assign to which role?
Warr on boss, Pally on adds. Then, make pally. Reroll BDK, put DK on boss and warr on adds 
Just check Warcraft logs for more info
Ikr
Just found out I couldve resold for like 3m though
I guess it would take fuckin ages to sell though so
mind you theres one on my server rn for sale at 4.8 mil
Fuck.
3.8 mill 
None on my realm xD
Priceless 
Yep Im a fuckin idiot
Howdo glyps nowadays work. I mean when I leaarn one, can I "activate" them like transmogs or do they stay forever?
k
so friends 👋
Started terros mythic prog last week and im trying to optimise talents to make myself less of a burden for healers and remove as many mistakes as possible how viable is this talent setup (thinking bolster over nails / spell block)
you have way too much block uptime with this build
stop playing barbaric training, swap from HR to ITF
BT and no shockwave and no int shout is gunna be a bad time
but bolster seems to be "best" over nails or spell block ? so just swap to ITF ?
bolster isnt the best, or necessary
ohhh raid
but I do want to pick up punish so xD?
yes
so my barb point I throw into 15 more rage I guess ?
thx 😄
sry for interrupting 😄
btw how about bloodborn / devistator talent then ? @strong forum
Something totally different: How do you find players for M+ grps - I'm getting more and more stugged at 22 signing up for pugs in tool -_-
i don't want to grind 4k valor to spend on 379 > 411 gloves
@sick sentinel can do it for you :p ?
then craft 418 ones ^^
there not even my set gloves its just some insanely high haste ones
then spam 20s n just upgrade 405s
or 16s n upgrade 398, whatever*
I heard there is a weakaura that shows you the enforcer respawn in COS. Does anyone knows that? I can't find something like this on wago
