never will

sick sentinel
#

but crit is usually more damage

#

and u dont need vers to live

jagged pier
#

i always stack crit

#

its just better

dusty estuary
#

does crit provide more tankyness as well has help you live more than vers?

strong forum
#

over the course of a key, yes

#

for extreme specific mechanics like crawth? not entirely

jagged pier
#

but it can also stop some mechanics even landing on u

#

like searing blow stacks

#

and rending bite from dragons on brood

strong forum
#

or deathspike

sick sentinel
#

you can parry some blows?

jagged pier
#

a stack of it

strong forum
#

you can parry searing blows

#

yes

sick sentinel
#

that's interesting

strong forum
#

and in the case of crawth

dusty estuary
#

sheeeshh ive been doing it all wrong all along im getting some knowledge dropped on me

strong forum
#

you can parry melee attacks while the bleed is up, ultimately removing large parts of dmg intake

jagged pier
#

^^

sick sentinel
#

what flask are protwar using atm on high keys? also embelishement, some websites are bugging too much when i tried checking

strong forum
#

eye in the storm

#

its just the most dmg

jagged pier
#

if u parry the melees when x magic damage or other damage is happening your haste and crit is doing more damage rducetion than your vers ever will

sick sentinel
#

can you link your toon nome please?

strong forum
#

can just look up my name

sick sentinel
#

alright

#

what's the reasoning of waking stats over sustained strenght that i see used a lot on high protwar?

jagged pier
#

its more main stat

#

which is better

#

we literally dont care about stam

strong forum
#

its just more stats

#

getting 0.1% stam is not a thing you wanna chose over 70 more str

#

thats like saying you dont wanna pick mainstat gem on your socket

#

and instead go with a stamina + haste socket

sick sentinel
#

hmm on me atm it's 9k hp difference, should not be that big

jagged pier
sick sentinel
#

that's a fair point explained this way ๐Ÿ˜„

modern relic
#

Hey guys,
in which order do you charge/leap/ or even gate at the third blowie of razageth (when the sparks will spawn directly after) so the boss does not moove towards the mid?

dusty estuary
#

which stats on your socketed gems get buffed with elemental lariat if u have multi stat gems?

jagged pier
#

depends on the type of gem

#

but the easy way

stark furnace
jagged pier
#

its the lower stat

dusty estuary
#

for the crit buff

stark furnace
#

I socket all haste vers but sure many people have different opinions

strong forum
#

i run crafty yse, ye

modern relic
jagged pier
#

no

#

your u just use evok

#

and double leap

sick sentinel
#

do we use disclosure potion on keys?

jagged pier
#

u can do

sick sentinel
#

what's the alternative, ultimate power i presume?

jagged pier
#

yes

looking at nomeratur toon, i'm getting a little confused on into the fray vs HH

can anyone tell me why there is a movement of top tanks switching to pala?

jagged pier

because it better

and were blind to pally being better for your group

sick sentinel

would you consider switching to defender's Aegis for academy because of crawth?

strong forum

no

jagged pier

no

youll have less shieldwalls

if you play defender aegis

#

Why you guys so against double wall

#

It's so good for higher keys on big pulls

#

Or bosses like 1st boss in RLP

potent harbor
#

hey guys what u think about this route for rlp this week, i hate sanguine on channelers so im invis pot skipping it
also skipping red dragon and second jugger, pack 2 i break some eggs and do whelps so ending nice sweet 100

shell mortar
#

Ye it's good though if you fail the last 3 pulls GG

#

And for first pull need lots of prio damage

#

As jugger has big health

strong forum
#

the higher you go, the worse it becomes

shell mortar
strong forum
#

uhuh, sure

shell mortar
#

Look at any log of 25-26 first boss RLP

#

Every single prot warr has 2 charges of wall and spell block saved for last 40% or they're just floor pov

jagged pier
#

nah man your wrong they run out and respec for that boss

warm plinth
#

Look at all those double walls

jagged pier
strong forum
#

meanwhile andy also never ever ran double wall cuz its useless

#

when he was still on warri

#

cuz the exact usecase of double wall

warm plinth
#

Honestly gotta be photoshopped since they "literally can't do 1st boss RLP on tyran without double wall"

strong forum
#

is when you need SW BACK TO BACK

#

in a less than 1 minute window

#

if you need it more than twice

#

thats when impenetrable wall just SHOOTS ahead

#

and wall makes it so shield slam generates literall 20% more rage

shell mortar
#

Eh I stand corrected

strong forum
#

double wall is only good in mdi

#

cuz of shotgun pulls

#

and i concede for TJS in lower keys

#

cuz 3rd boss wont have more than 3 phases

#

so double wall wins there, and its good on last pack

shell mortar
#

I'd day it still has its uses. Let's you facetank some pulls for a lot longer

#

In some cases close to necessary

#

Lets*

eager phoenix
#

if you've made up your mind just go crazy

shell mortar
#

Nah, I was wrong, I'm not so set on double wall, I play both

strong forum
#

it wont be a detriment to run DA , but youll just be outright better running with impenetrable wall

shell mortar
#

Just a bit weirdge that people here are so against double wall when it has it's uses

strong forum
#

b-but it doesnt

#

only when youre bad

#

and cant press your buttons

#

ive yet to see somebody use shieldwall reasonably often

shell mortar
#

Literally like you just said

#

Last pull of TJS

#

Any tank buster pull in SBG

strong forum
#

nononon

shell mortar
#

Bird + fish pull in TJS

jagged pier
#

lets pick a niche scenario to make my point

strong forum
#

dont run it in SMBG

#

thats hard troll

jagged pier
#

u definatly do not run it in SMBG

shell mortar
#

You don't /need/ double wall but with it you don't need to start kiting early

strong forum
#

you dont need to with impenetrable either

#

and its literally only 1 pull

#

in the entire dungeon

#

you just SW-SB-SW

shell mortar
#

I just noted 2 pulls in TJS

#

Idk man

strong forum
#

bird + fish doesnt need double wall

#

you can outrange peck

shell mortar
#

There's 2 fear shas + double small guys exploding

#

Peck is not an issue yes

#

Counter argument is "just use a stop for every fear sha buster" but cmon

strong forum
#

idk, chief, stuff should be dead there rather quickly

#

fucking arty pulls the entire floor in 1 go

#

as vdh which doesnt have double wall

#

(without pandas ofc)

#

on 26

shell mortar
#

Again, not necessary, like I said, it's safer in the scenario of anything in the pull at all going south

strong forum
#

sure but if you plan to do that double pull

#

you also allocate offensive CDs

shell mortar
#

Not really

#

Should

#

But almost all groups I've played with don't allocate CDs at all besides for very specific scenarios

#

Like waterfall in NO

strong forum
#

i mean, playing around your DPS' cds should be norm ye

shell mortar
#

Playing around, yes

#

Allocating specific CDs for specific pulls, no

#

So anyways, how low is SW cd with the single wall talent? Never really paid attention to it

#

Without ITF

#

Assuming played optimally

strong forum
#

1min

#

maybe 50sec if you game hard

#

but thats as low as it gets

shell mortar
#

Aite

jagged pier
#

imean lets not forget that the wall is also more rage

shell mortar
#

I'll give it a go today in keys I normally would run double wall

#

Yeah, I used to play single wall all the time but on certain pulls felt pretty dry

strong forum
#

reminder is just send SW early

shell mortar
#

So on NO and TJS I started running double wall

strong forum
#

so you can use it early again

#

nokhud?

jagged pier
#

what?

#

NO?

shell mortar
#

Yeah, we do some spicy pulls in NO

jagged pier
#

its all physical damage

shell mortar
#

No

#

It's not

#

3rd boss area has many caster packs

strong forum
#

they only have 1 or 2 casters per pack

jagged pier
#

which should be interupted

#

so all they do it melee

shell mortar
#

No I mean the bolters

strong forum
#

yes

#

same

shell mortar
#

I mean look

#

As an example

strong forum
#

theres only 1 or 2 bolters

#

at best

#

sometimes there are 0

shell mortar
#

Theres a pull with 2 bolters, 2 mystics

strong forum
#

and 90% of the time the bolters cast necrotic eruption

shell mortar
#
  • 6 other mobs
#

Feels a lot safer with double wall

#

Or the waterfall pull with 2 dudes on tip

#

Top*

strong forum
#

its only safer if you use SW twice back to back

shell mortar
#

Otherwise double wall not useful at all

strong forum
#

and then afk for 2+ minutes

#

2 dudes ontop can outrange arcing strike

shell mortar
#

Well yeah they're both pulls with BL

#

On fort

strong forum
#

and thats a lust pull

#

that disappears instantly

#

idk why youd need 2 SWs

shell mortar
#

Waterfall pull I don't

#

The other one I do

strong forum
#

yeah so

shell mortar
#

There's just not enough kicks or stops for the bolter pull

strong forum
#

you pick a talent that makes you weaker for 99% of the key

shell mortar
#

And that pull saves a lot of time

topaz field
#

u only get deleted in nokhud from the bolts and the healing debuff

#

which u can both stop

strong forum
#

to SW 2 bolters twice

shell mortar
#

Yep

strong forum
#

inting if you ask me

shell mortar
#

Look

#

It's like a 1k DPS loss from me

#

For a big time save

#

From that 1 pull

#

That's all that matters

strong forum
#

its also surv loss

#

for the rest of the key

shell mortar
#

So it's not a surv loss

#

As you said, other stuff like arcing strike can be outranged and the shield dudes get dispelled, just kite if needed

#

Bolters I can't really kite

#

And TJS for the bird + fish pull.and last pull

strong forum
#

you do you man

#

people have done it without it plenty times

#

whatever works for you

shell mortar
#

Yeah I know

#

It's just foolproof

#

Double wall there's 0 chance those pulls go wrong

#

Coz the pulls before I don't need wall

What phial are most people using on Dathea

strong forum
#

in raid you just use vers

#

cuz the boss dmg is what counts

#

not add dmg

#

actually the adds dont even hit you

#

so the only phial to use is vers

winter laurel
#

Is there a sim site for tanks like raidbots for dps and questionably epic for healers? Or should I just be using raidbots?

ionic fern
#

Raidbots for DPS.

#

Tankiness comes from higher ilvl & proper play.

sick sentinel
#

In what dungeon do you switch from tough as nails to spell block ? i'd presume ToJ/azure ?

glass spear
#

TJS and RLP are the 2 main ones, but can make arguments for other dungeons as well

sick sentinel
#

What drives you to pick it on RLP ?

#

1st boss?

tropic gorge
#

It helps on the first boss a lot, but Im not sure it would be terribly helpful for most of the dungeon, outside of a pug with no stops or interrupts

strong forum
#

everything until first boss

#

after that its kinda whatever

sick sentinel
#

if ppl arent kicking cinderbolts in rlp, its gg anyways

#

at least on frport and above 10 15 keys

#

cinderbolt go brr delete random dps each cast

1 is ok, usually an issue if it overlaps with inferno

anyone got a nice and simple ignore pain bar?

solar shadow
#

i use a WA i found on wago

median tulip
solar shadow
#

its an icon though

#

color codes your shield absorb size based on if your next IP cast will waste absorb or not too

median tulip
#

There's no reason to track IP

solar shadow
#

false

crimson bay
#

just track ur rage and block and throw else overcapped rage into ip and its uptime will be ait per automatic

solar shadow
#

this one is great

#

knowing how big your absorb shield is, and if you will waste rage casting IP is very useful knowledge

jagged pier
#

what?

#

u never waste rage casting IP{

#

even if its full

solar shadow
#

if you are not getting full effectiveness from your IP cast, you are wasting rage

jagged pier
#

infact thats what your supposed to do

#

u dont overcap rage because your ip is high

solar shadow
#

unless you are refreshing your IP because it's going to expire

#

if you have a full duration IP at max absorb size, and youre still casting IP instead of revenge, I have to ask why

#

Other than you really wanting your CDs to refresh

wispy canopy
#

And it gives stacks for VO

solar shadow
#

Seems like a DPS loss to me

jagged pier
#

if i have SS off cd a full IP and 80 rage

#

imma press IP

#

otherwise im wasting SS resets

median tulip
#

Ignore Pain is a button that reduces the cooldown of Avatar and Shield Wall by 3.5s, gives you 3.5% HP, and as a happy side effect gives you an absorb. The absorb is absolutely not the point of pressing it.

jagged pier
#

literally dumb just to spam revenge because your IP is high

#

you'll waste SS resets and rage

crimson bay
#

jakey explains is perfect

#

if u do ur rotation proper ur ip will be pressed every

strong forum
#

You can go ahead and try your rotation without overcapping IP, but you'll just do fuckall dmg

crimson bay
#

4-5 button

#

per auto

strong forum
#

More often

#

Sometimes I have to send IP 4 times back to back

#

To prevent overcapping

#

Cuz ravager + outburst + avatar

#

And bleeds rolling

crimson bay
#

ye just track rage waste and always use ss on cd and proccs, most of time it can be a good idea to press block or ip every other ss procc

#

anyhow having block tracker ip tracker and a good ragebar aswell as a reminder to press avatar demo shout etc on cd is a good idea overall

jagged pier
#

ah yes i can really press revenge instead of IP on pull

#

well from like 1 second in cause i greif pull

strong forum
#

Yeah I was just about to post the same keks

round pendant
#

Honestly don't like how often we have to press IP

#

I wanna press revenge more, please blizzard let me press revenge more

solar shadow
#

i p much slam all my buttons like a monkey and never die in keys idk man

crimson bay
#

well thats bad then xD

#

not about not dying its more about not wasting ur class potential

#

doing as much dmg as possible while maintaining ur survival and no overcap rage

solar shadow
#

yes yes I'm aware of the concept of min maxing

crimson bay
#

ya and cant minmax spamming buttons i guess

round pendant
#

I mean just pressing everything mindlessly will probably get you 80% of the way there with prot warrior

strong forum
#

Randomly spamming buttons is how you end up doing low dps

solar shadow
#

Seems to work just fine in 21-22 keys on my 395 warrior

strong forum
#

Just because it works

#

Doesn't mean it's good

edgy grail
#

Pressing buttons correctly is now considered min maxing? gladge

solar shadow
#

Turns out you dont need to be that good to tank high keys as a warrior

blazing condor
#

its a surprisingly low threshold to be a "good" tank

mortal brook
#

nomeratur can you explain what a margin for error for success is

strong forum
#

21-22 isn't high

edgy grail
#

22 is high keys?

round pendant
#

But if you actually wanna do good damage, and more importantly be allowed to comment on whether or not certain things are good/bad to do, it might be worth learning what to do and why you're doing it.

It's not as big a flex as you think burgah

so ofc is possible

tank has to be the only role you can not even attempt to hit your buttons correctly and be in the top 1% of rating however

Yes

Point is that "not dying" and "having a route" are both insanely easy and whatever that you may as well put the remainder bit of effort into doing damage

I think Richardos' point is that atleast in like wotlk you had to hit your buttons correctly to have enough threat to not be pulled from

If you enjoy punishment you can do lfr also

It's what, 10 percent or less more than heroic?

Lol 400

If youโ€™re plugging 20s

20s drop 405, 400 is more than enough for them

Highly skilled players can do 20 at ilvl 4p0

what about the special gem, is that AH or crafted

Get to 410

But most of us can't

strong forum

Well you see

The rule of thumb is imo, whatever the key drops -10 ilvl

tropic gorge

You'll also have difficulty getting invites out of lfg into 20s and higher if your a pug runner

Thatโ€™s just so wildly misleading

all you gotta do is keep up shield block

With increased key scaling its closer to 7

and run the route

I mean I've done so at 400 but I feel weak (def stance etc)

How is that misleading

faint mica

but this doesn't require THAT much skill tbh

you can tank 20s at 400 Ilevel... will a group take you is the question

strong forum

We all started with lower gear

Run your own key

Because people asking that question donโ€™t have a premade

if you have a main with 3k io, they will take you

Yeah but even a 400 ilvl tank in pugs is fine in 20s

tropic gorge

Yeah at below gatekeeper Ivl you'll ha e to run your key

It's not the gear that'll gatekeep you at that point

The question wasn't "What io do I need to be allowed into +20s"

lunar gazelle

That's not what was asked

tropic gorge

You can at 400 with proper io. But you'll never get an invite to a 20 without good io

wooden widget

Yeah but thatโ€™s not realistic. If you donโ€™t have io and you donโ€™t have ILvl youโ€™re not getting into pug 20s

That's still not what was asked

i haven't had this experience

but I have a main with good io

tropic gorge

Not exactly no. But what was asked isn't the same as what will actually occur

solar shadow

people invite my rat 398 warrior to their 20 keys

and it goes mostly fine? from my end anyways

True it was a vague question

round pendant

It was quite an explicit question

strong forum
#

He asked what ilvl for 20s, I answered. If he doesn't get invited that's another topic

faint mica
#

I didn't asked what should I have to pug 20, I was just asking how much ilvl is "recommanded" to be "comfortable" with tanking 20 keys tbf

solar shadow
#

Thats a tough question to answer because it's highly skill dependent

#

e.g. a 20 COS was tanked by a naked warrior with only trinkets weps and a lariat

faint mica

is cos a key or a walk in the parc?

strong forum

Walk in the park

there are alot of frontals and not many mobs hit hard outside of that

How many stacks should the M sennarth add get to before its a serious issue

distant crystal

usually try to kill it around the 2nd cast

#

pref before

cinder nova
#

Okay how many stacks is that

dapper jetty
#

6 is danger territory, 7+ the raid is probably dead

cinder nova
#

We're falling over around 5

dapper jetty
#

are your healers using a healing rotation?

cinder nova
#

Yeah

dapper jetty
#

2x big raid healing cooldowns per add?

cinder nova
#

No, we're saving CDs on the burst

dapper jetty
#

not really sure then - we use 2 x big healing CDs and 5 heal it, dont run into that many issues

#

yeah you need a minimum of 1 raid healing cooldown on that add (think Rewind or Ancestral Guidance) but 2 is safer

#

personals + healthstones + pots, and also make sure all the DPS are actually switching onto the add - sometimes people like to continue to pump Sennarth cause parse we've seen

#

First add we only use one healing CD due to bloodlust though. If you have an evoker they can get the first add without any healing CDs with 3xTA in Stasis then Verdant Embrace -> Emerald Communion for a 20% raidwide heal every second for 5s

the adds also were generally fine once our warrior tank and add group figured it out

tropic gorge

Can I link a discord here?

plush tendon
#

and VDH seems closer to a BDK then a Prot War is

#

and oddly enough Brood was one of my guilds better fights; only 47 pulls before a kill

#

and I think VDH plays Feiry Brand on that fight so you get double charge of that ability, so you can pretty much brand each mortal strike thingy

#

but honestly, might be better to ask the VDHs what they think; I just have a feeling that Prot tanking boss sounds like a pain

@tropic gorge im actually there, whsipering each single person around my score for team, doing it like 10 days, its always same, we go key together, its okay okay, then one deplete, team breaks

well i have solid m+ guild, we are Dathea, but ppl here around 2,7 and ill not change raid guild jsut cause of it

M+ pug life is a flippin nightmare

theres bound to be at least 2-3 people who want to get into pushing

and just dont know how

dusky canopy
#

Keys with the bois is essentially pugging unless someone takes on the mantle of calling stops

#

Simply Being in voice is a advantage though

potent harbor
#

ye voice is so huge advantage

plush tendon
#

or what things they struggle with/excel at

dusky canopy
#

Maybe itโ€™s a skill thing but in my experience I have a easier time pugging my 8 20s every week vs doing them with the homies

potent harbor
#

biggest think is voice, since i love leadershipping and call out all shit its do huge, i can imagine dpsers in pug are braindeadly doing dps and ignore everything around so when u actually tell them avoid this and this its already diff between deplete or succeed

dusky canopy
#

I think itโ€™s mostly because we all are used to pugging so we all try to handle all the stops at the same time

potent harbor
#

@dusky canopy ye but its 20, 20 is like i dont know kinda meh, im not saying my 22/23 is somethign godlike but its kinda difference and pug is just tragic at this

Then we have no stops left and struggle

You can stun and interupt piercing shards

You were sub 50% for at least 5 seconds. And it looks like just passive healing on you, prot can't easily raise our health that's a healer job, we just try to keep it from going down

You can also los them on some locations, if you do the whelp pulls, the ones where theres just two, should be able to cycle through group stuns and fear

just dont wipe

People who get to high io pugging will insta leave a key and apply to another right away with not even one care, they don't really sharpen their skills by doing so, but eventually they get to where they want to get io wise

does it really help taht much? i guess its less confusing

Itโ€™s nice when pugging prevents the dps from taking extra dam which means healer focuses me more

ive been getting hit by thundering more lately, ive been feeling lazy about clearing since they made tank always the same polarity :/

thundering clears has only been a problem with mechanic overlaps

like storm boss in NO

means a 3 people stun which is almost always a wipe

when he puts lightning around everyone and we needed to clear like 5 seconds ago

I always tell people after a thundering wipe "your 2-3% extra dmg won't make or break the key, us wiping because you are lazy will"

I mean, the extra 30% can be big

but wiping is even worse

violet flume
#

yeah

#

sometimes im surprised at people

they stand next to me, clearly meaning to clear eventually.. and they clear at 7sec

plush tendon

and it depends on key level to; I would say you could clear insta anything below a 22

i went afk?

violet flume
#

and they stay there so its not like theres a hurry to clear

but obviously, playing the mech well reap pretty good rewards

especially if it lines up; like our DH on our AA tree pull got Thundering at the start and hit a million dps

we were so hyped

Thundering the 2nd seasonal I liked. I really enjoyed the seasonal from sl

Yeah def, there are places where it's best to clear right away and places where it's safe to hold, but then you see someone doing 50k on ST and clearing too early or not clearing

love it when thundering happens as you just finish a pack and you have a long walk to the next one lol

plush tendon
#

actually the worst

I also like people that instantly clear it

Like damn guys. At least wait for the dbm timer to speak up

if healer wants to clear on me early so they don't have to at a bad time? ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป if they have to hit a dps with it? less ideal, but still not gonna complain.

would rather have an early cleared healer than a stunned one.

the other strat to deal with Thundering.... dont invite range

I upgraded my pc 2 years ago? first time hearing about nvme ssd, I usually stop updating myself with pc component information until its time

#

Same thing happened with usb-c cable, I thought all of the were the same

Check if your board supports it

#

Nvme is basically connecting a drive to your cpu via pcie bus

My first pc was one of those Compaq pcs, monitor was cool at the time

Compaq used to be a respected pc builder back in the hayday when Dell and gateway were also huge

Compaq used to sell fairly fast machines compared to dell

My friend and I have this believe, because some players are young they don't know how to be patient and understanding, we were raised like that because there was no other way

#

So they just leave keys

#

And then I look back and remember how I would just sit and watch the slideshow of different photos and music when installing WoW

tropic gorge
#

Shit I used to pirate access

#

Had a bo2k running around scraping dialup info

#

Reading the manual while something was installing because the anticipation was also fun

Didn't pay for access until I got high speed net

The book for alpha centauri was amazing

I remember the wow one being a straight up book

Remember when DRM, meant you needed the original manual because they would ask you to enter the 5th word on the 11th page

Even the smash bros manual was like a small book iirc

Would it be viable to macro Shield Block with another ability for less buttons, or should it stay by itself?

cinder storm
#

stay by itself

uneven mason
#

Maybe avatar and charge
