I don’t know but if you have darker urine it’s usually not as good as clear ones. Maybe consider taking less. A lot of these formulas are more than what your body can process anyway and you waste a bit everyday by literally peeing it

modern brook
#

?

#

my piss is fucking crystaline bro

#

I am the human embodiment of hydration

crystal mauve
#

Sorry I meant to answer @lusty tiger

modern brook
#

ancient greeks have erected statues of me, Peesiden,

lusty tiger
#

it can get clear if i drink like 40oz between each piss

#

which like i said i need to be doing

tropic gorge
#

Sorry for the delay

lusty tiger
#

i need to be drinking like 8-10 lbs of water/day

#

128-160oz

tropic gorge
#

The dashboard is fake wood yes. It's a peterbilt commercial truck.
The jar I posted above is peach moonshine

lusty tiger
tropic gorge
#

People have also guessed an orange lol

#

And I wish that was a jar of lsd. I'd never work again and be a rich man

lusty tiger
#

homemade moonshine is 🔥

tropic gorge
#

Correct. Remember, if it has a lable or you paid taxes for it, it ain't real shine

lusty tiger
#

it has a bite at the beginning but goes down smooth

#

and has a slight aroma of whatever flavor

tropic gorge
#

I haven't opened it yet lol

#

Gonna throw it in the freezer until tomorrow night

lusty tiger
#

some kid mixed peach tea with vodka and sold it to me as moonshine in 8th grade

#

smh i hate that guy

I'm on a full stack of supps + 7.5g of creatine a day and piss clear drinking 14oz at best a day.

dusky canopy
#

Bro you only drink 14oz of water? While useing supplements

#

Your organs do not like you

slim dove
#

Drink if your thirsty. Judge color of piss. Don't overthink it

odd tree
#

No issues with stones?

dusky canopy
#

Sure but I feel like only drinking 14oz of water and pissing clear is basically impossible

slim dove
#

Never, 29 and I've never had them. Lifting on those supps for 12 years + road racing/endurocross for the last 5

dusky canopy
#

I mean hey it works for you can’t hate on that

#

Just seems wild to me

slim dove
#

I'm just saying if you need as much water as the other dude said to piss clean

#

There's some issues going on for sure.

dusky canopy
#

Oh hell yeah for sure

#

You don’t need 160oz

#

Unless you’re cycling then I could see the want for more water intake

dusky canopy
#

Roids

lusty tiger
#

im on permanent trt

#

for life

dusky canopy
#

You have a deficiency?

lusty tiger
#

yes

dusky canopy
#

Damn man sucks to hear that

#

Could explain the water for sure

lusty tiger
#

120mg/day

#

topical

slim dove
#

Nah I'm on 200/week injections

dusky canopy
#

I honestly didn’t even realize topical was a thing

slim dove
#

Not trt

#

0 issues with water and shit

#

Fr if your drinking that much to piss clean, bring it up at your next check up

dusky canopy
#

Liver hating life

#

Or kidneys

lusty tiger
#

i mean 200mg/week is slightly diff than 840mg a week surely

#

but yes

#

i have to get bloodwork done soon

slim dove
#

Topical vs injections

lusty tiger
dusky canopy
#

One of you has a rock hard butt cheek and one of you doesn’t

#

Is the difference

lusty tiger
#

hahaha

#

i really would prefer to not inject and since its ~99% of T my body gets injecting feels too spiky

#

1x/month schedule was hell

modern brook
#

its about absolutely dumpstering other people's metrics

mighty valley
#

hey just checking in guys. we been talking about how clear our piss is for an hour yeah?

dusky canopy
#

Lmao

#

Yes..

lusty tiger
#

these are important things

the health of all protection warrior players

dusky canopy

So new explosive nerfs HUGE W

I wonder if the shield is split

Or if it’s 130k absorb per target

Lemonader

lusty tiger
#

fkn lemonader

#

idk man

#

i guess pwar disc could double as a bodybuilding forum at this point

mighty valley
#

the only exercise i get is walking my dogs at this point

#

(get really good piss parses though, my metrics are strong)

modern brook
#

that was #pvp before the great scouring

pallid quiver
#

I was gonna say, I don't actually see much bodybuilding talk in Prot nearly as much as the other channels

modern brook
#

you dont put on mass for endurance you know

dusky canopy
#

Go hang out in the dps channels

#

Big flexing going on

paper garden
# lusty tiger yea im here in S Florida

yeah, you have natural humidity from the ocean... here in UT... desert land. easy to fall behind on fluid intake. but that's way off topic for this room...

pallid quiver
#

We just get the flab that bleeds a lot but doesn't actually cause life threatening issues, professional gladiator style

dusky canopy
#

We discussed piss color earlier

#

I think you’re fine

pallid quiver
#

remember when someone shouted at me for talking about fighting games in a way that was actual relevant to wow? good times

dusky canopy
#

The best part about skyhold is there’s no stay on topic police

#

We “shoot the shit” so to speak

#

And also help anyone who needs it

lusty tiger
#

a team effort to keep this place interesting

pallid quiver
#

There's 10/10 stay on topic police.

They're just not mods or regulars

dusky canopy
#

Well right just nobody relevant in that aspect

#

Where’s yogi when ya need em

#

We need a 2001 yt link of something completely off topic

slim dove
#

Weekly physique posts?

wouldnt want nome to be in here anymore than he already is

Just alway cut and eat big

i barely eat carbs

i have pretty low body fat

i would wager im already 3/1 protein/carb

dusky canopy

A hop, skip, and a jump away.

lusty tiger
#

thing is im barely hitting 2200 cal i should probably be aiming for at least 2600

dusky canopy
#

Yeah I hover around 2500-2600 when I’m counting

#

Been lazy with it for a bit

#

If you’re like a super cardio nut you can easily do over 3k

lusty tiger
#

ive gained 20lbs since i started working out 4months ago

dusky canopy
#

Sweeet!

lusty tiger
#

i just recently started some cardio

#

i try to run 12mins straight 3x a week

#

shit has me wheeeeeeeeezing at the end bruh

dusky canopy
#

I hate running

ruby vortex
#

i mean the best workout is the one you do. stay on it and you'll get faster or more endurance (depending on goals)

dusky canopy
#

I usually do stairs or max incline walk

lusty tiger
#

i like how horrible that 12min of running is

dusky canopy
#

But ye as stated do you bro!

lusty tiger
#

good discipline

#

well i run after my lifts

ruby vortex
#

sprints are really good if you want to hate your life. also better for gainz (if that's what you're shooting for) vs distance running

lusty tiger
#

to get maximum suffering

#

my knee would be unhappy w sprints i think i havent done sprints since HS football 8 years ago

dusky canopy
#

Same problem here bad knees

ruby vortex
#

at this rate we are going to need a irl warrior channel XD. former fat kid here i got real into this myself so i'll geek out some

#

for the knees, if you're not for real damaged, you may want to look at trigger point therapy, generally your IT bands can give you knee pain if they get too bad

#

rowing (as a lot of gyms have rowing machines) is another great way to kick your own ass, so long as you get someone to show you how to do it proper so you won't eject your spine (herniate discs)

lusty tiger
#

I like rowing

ruby vortex
#

lol clearly you just need to do more, that'll fix that right up

lusty tiger
#

usually 5.5 speed on the treadmill isnt too bad at all

lusty tiger
ruby vortex
#

yeah you can make it real short (i mean the sprint races are only 2k meters... you can be done in under 6 minutes! honest!) and go hard like crossfit does. but then it's good for longer stuff too, if you open the fan to the middle range and chill at steady state. like a reasonable 6k in 20 minutes, or go for a 10k as a long run (40min was reasonable there, as a college crew team)

lusty tiger
#

crew partakers are always yoked af

ruby vortex
#

lol it's a weird stronk though. you don't do any pushing with your arms/chest, so you definitely want to lift too

lusty tiger
#

wouldnt trade my regular lifts w my roomate for anything

#

ofc always lift

ruby vortex
#

but particularly as you get older gotta make sure you're paying your dues in selfcare. also helps you avoid those off-gcd repetitive strain injuries XD

lusty tiger
#

i try to be pretty safe

#

like not deadlifting amounts where i may fail mid set

#

i dont want to do that lol

tropic gorge
#

Rowing is a legit workout

lusty tiger
#

always feel the rows the next day

tropic gorge
#

I used to laugh at people that row their light boats in cities. Not anymore

ruby vortex
ruby vortex
lusty tiger
#

LMFAO

we now laugh- but in a dignified and respectful manner

round pendant
#

I love getting declined from groups because my alts rating isn't high enough

#

they don't know that I do fat dps

lusty tiger
craggy pilot
#

i generally feel more unkillable on my less ilvl Prot Pala

#

but i keep getting declined to 16s even though i have 2800 r.io on main 😄

lusty tiger
chilly brook
#

It might be

#

But damn is it fun

craggy pilot
#

people just dont trust you unles you have the r.io to back it up

lusty tiger
#

it is

craggy pilot
#

even if alts

round pendant
#

raider io should implement log association with runs, and give you a B to S tier dps rating

#

that shows on the addon

craggy pilot
chilly brook
#

Perhaps

craggy pilot
#

but it would be way too complex

lusty tiger
#

nah its perfect rn

chilly brook
#

But in general imo tanking is more fun when you’re “op”

lusty tiger
#

they should bring other tanks up to ppal

chilly brook
#

^this

craggy pilot
#

thats what everyone says all the time

#

thats what they said when Prot Warr was OP

chilly brook
#

Yes because it’s the better way to do it

craggy pilot
#

then they brought Prot Pal above Prot Warr

#

and now you want Prot Warr to be buffed?

#

so just permanent buffs

lusty tiger
#

no ppal was always better

#

scales better

chilly brook
#

Pally was already sleeper op before the rework

lusty tiger
#

yep

craggy pilot
#

in beta everyone were saying how good Prot Warr was, and how everyone should be scaled to the same spot as Prot Warr

chilly brook
#

Yes

lusty tiger
#

rework+10.0.7 ring really put it on the MFin radar

chilly brook
#

Which isn’t inherently bad

#

10.0.7 just made an already really good tank better and less annoying to play

craggy pilot
#

idk the Prot Pala thing with 1 pala 4 dps doesnt rly make sense to me

craggy pilot
#

because theyre doing like half the Prot Warr dps right?

chilly brook
#

Pally dps is pretty good

lusty tiger
#

yea to heal your 4dps youre losing some mit+dps

craggy pilot
chilly brook
#

But if you’re bringing an extra dps that offsets any loss of tank dps

craggy pilot
#

they do like 30-40k overall with those talents i think

lusty tiger
#

sounds about right

ruby vortex
lusty tiger
#

XD

craggy pilot
# ruby vortex

sometimes i think if i should try to get hobbies that actually "show off" in the real world, like dancing, cooking or working out

#

but then i just remember Prot Warr

#

and i forget all of it 😄

lusty tiger
#

you can do all of the above and be a prot war

tropic gorge
#

Prot war is a way of life

craggy pilot
#

jes more prot war is the answer

ruby vortex
#

do 2nd prot warrior, clearly

craggy pilot
#

😄

tropic gorge
#

It's always nice when a m+ pug invite comes and you see "welcome, I love prot war!"

#

It's like ❤️ I won't fail you!

#

Then you out dps one or two dps and ride to victory

lusty tiger
#

out DPSing DDs feels good but also awful

craggy pilot
#

its like "aw im so good" but also "aw hes so shit"

lusty tiger
#

always warrants some flaming in discord amongst your premade

tranquil vine
#

My priest gave me PI earlier and I was immediately second on the dps meters for the funnies

leaden creek
craggy pilot
#

or some "how are you doing so much damage"

#

while they think you are doing over the ordinary dmg, and they are doing normal at 40k overall

lusty tiger
#

40k is my no tier 380 mage

#

tragic

craggy pilot
#

some people just straight up dont know how to figure out the new talents

urban portal
#

or they don’t have hekili

craggy pilot
#

even if you have hekili

#

and you use raid spec in M+

#

you will be off to a bad start 😄

ruby vortex
#

ok. well that's just being forgetful or bad

#

they might have the best M+ spec figured out and just forgot to swap

craggy pilot
#

one can hope

ruby vortex
#

not to say that I'm not bad. but i've definitely had runs where i figure out that i'm in the wrong spec when i go to use a button that doesn't do anything as i don't have the talent (particularly did this on DH as the spec was real similar except for details like having an AOE silence)

#

it's hard to not have a decent spec, given that you can just import now

craggy pilot
#

yea i had it happen on Prot War even :d

#

had no shockwave and storm bolt

#

played the entire run like that 😄

#

didnt lose that much though

ruby vortex
#

yeah. and as tank you can just quietly ignore that. i hear DPS players care about things like single target vs AOE 🤷

craggy pilot
#

i did run out once as Enha Sham with ST talents

ruby vortex
#

well, of course, someone has to kill the bosses. let everyone else handle the AOE. all part of the plan

#

for me at least getting the rotation right is the biggest thing. particularly if the current talents break with whatever you're used to

rain scaffold
#

Hey does anyone know if Defensive Stance alone increases threat generation regardless of spec? Or does it solely decrease damage taken and damage done as referenced in the tool tip?

craggy pilot
#

threat gen is the same always

rain scaffold
#

Okay. Thank you it's not like righteous fury

craggy pilot
#

you probably even do more threat in Battle Stance because of 15% more dmg

rain scaffold
#

I wish we had thunder clap as fury

craggy pilot
#

you mean the classic ability? 😄

round pendant
#

if my group is dps evoker, shadow priest, ret paladin, holy priest, whatever tank, TJS is literally shit, right?

#

can't dispel the curse?

rain scaffold
#

Sorry I'm in between games a lot

#

So I mix up what's classic and what's retail a lot XD

craggy pilot
#

but generally, you shouldnt be in Defensive Stance

Thunderlord - good pick for mythic+? Or it's like a must-pick for Disrupting Shout?

ah yes true

Demo Shout..

craggy pilot
#

Disrupting Shout replaces Challenging Shout

#

bro

#

what is your question here? 🤣

grizzled kite
#

I need to read the tooltip

#

Thunderlord interacts with Demo Shout, not any of the previous mentioned shouts

#

that was my mistake

north dew

do you guys have the same problem, that if you stand still all the mobs try to sneak around you and try to hit you in the back?

craggy pilot

well he did say "no one will join" not "no one is inviting me"

prisma crane
craggy pilot

so its more like a +18 thing vs +20 thing

that dude ALWAYS moves even when i sit perfectly still

craggy pilot
#

never had that happen

#

but maybe because im constantly moving to stun bats 😄

prisma crane
#

he still moves

even when i do that

like if it was a normal mob you kinda just know that "ring" you can make around it and keep it in place

there is a crafted back with passive healing and an absorb shield which looks interesting

the other 2 were 💩 though 🤣

oh theyre also 402

round pendant
#

yeah

#

I feel like evoker does trash dps

#

he got like 20k less dps than me in a dungeon before and it was still a 95 parse

#

I know key parses are whatever but still

craggy pilot
#

idk, feel like he wasnt using Deep Breath proper

craggy pilot

They are if you look at the right thing

heavily skewed by dungeon time tho

craggy pilot

but ye he was weird

you have the log?

He's a friend, he hardly plays

he's not used to anything above like +12

Deep Breath 11 times only :/

#

Oh I thought you were referring to the completely absent SBG

round pendant
#

the system is fundamentally flawed

craggy pilot
#

people have the weirdest standards

craggy pilot
#

i guess i could bump my rating quite a bit though 😄

warm plinth
#

Yeah that's what, like 45-50 points just from doing a 16 SBG

#

actually more since you only have a 14 on the other side

round pendant
#

I just giggle every time I get declined

#

because chances are they chose a dps that was dogshit compared to me instead

craggy pilot
#

a +13 would be 55 points i think

protection warrior rotation?

#

dont tell me wowhead just say XD

#

is it revenge and shield slam

#

and use cds

when ready

keep ignore pain up keep up shield block if youre tanking something

press SS TC and revenge

Just go for it man

remember to use your shield wall if youre gonna take alot of damaage

rigid sigil
#

shield wall

noble jetty
#

get a spell reflect weak aura, use spell block in keys

rigid sigil
#

i hajve it

#

spell reflect

#

weak aura

noble jetty
#

youre 50% of the way there then

#

also remember that spell reflect doesnt just reflect spells but its a 20% magic damage reduction for 5 seconds so even if it doesnt reflect the spell you still get use

Don't tell me wowhead, just say the same thing wowhead says

solid logic

If you're listening to wowhead, you should really untalent barbaric training though

Sounds like a gameplay issue but without logs we have no way of knowing. Very likely you're not maintaining shield block at a minimum.

rigid sigil
#

trust me

#

its up all the time

#

and this is only +11

#

and i wanna do +20

warm plinth
#

I will guarantee you that it's a gameplay issue.

#

Like, 100% chance that it's a gameplay issue if you're dying to a double pull in a +11

so what do i do

warm plinth
#

Unless you're like 200 ilevel or something

rigid sigil
#

415

warm plinth
#

We don't know. You insist you're pressing shield block but your feelings are not valid evidence. Log your runs, bring them here, and we'll tell you what you're doing wrong.

rigid sigil
#

how can i log

#

my runs

warm plinth
rigid sigil
#

alright

#

doing it

#

btw

#

is shield block available 24/7?

#

do i just spam ignore pain and that

mighty valley
#

with the right talents yes, it can be up all the time

rigid sigil
#

i did wowheads talents

mighty valley
#

look at the pinned talents here, do the all-round m+ build

#

then the fundamentals are

#

use your offensive CDs on CD

#

fill your GCDs with SS > TC > Revenge

#

keep shield block up (and face enemies)

#

and then press IP to prevent your rage bar overcapping

#

everything else is knowing what to kick, what to stun, what to walk out of

rigid sigil
#

i cant kick shit

mighty valley
#

and where to best use defensive CDs

rigid sigil
#

i only ahve pummel

mighty valley
#

yeah, you can kick one thing

#

the team should get others

#

plus you have storm bolt, int shout, shockwave for stops

rigid sigil
#

battle stance or def?

mighty valley
#

when you're comfortable with your play, you can stay in battle stance

#

and only switch to d stance for tankbusters

#

but if you keep dying while you're learning

#

you can stay in d stance

rigid sigil
#

do i get my shield to 415??

#

its 402

#

is it big difference

warm plinth
#

kick = pummel. It's just a universal term for an interrupt. Use the talent build in the pins here

#

It is a big difference but it's not why you're dying in +11s

rigid sigil
#

cant find it

#

btw you think i will manage to finish a +20 without timing it because im an asshole who wants 7 games for greatvault then take a break and level my other acc

#

or theres no way they'll rage quit after some wipes

warm plinth
#

If you're dying in a +11 what makes you think you're going to survive a +20

rigid sigil
#

died once

#

only

#

other than that survived it prety easily

mighty valley
#

the difference between +11 and +20 is fucking astronomical

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's massive.

rigid sigil
#

whats barbaric training

warm plinth
#

A talent in the class tree on the right side

mighty valley

Yes clearly ret paladin is so good that it does more damage than someone 10+ ilevels higher keks

I use it there, and the add on SBG 1st boss, and on spitefuls if they're in a sketchy place

guys

#

how to do algethar plants pull as a protec warr

#

i have 1 heroic throw

warm plinth
#

You only have to throw it at one mob though, and you have charge and leap as well

rigid sigil
#

so i charge on one

#

leap on second

#

throw on third

#

yeah?

warm plinth
#

If that's how you wanna do it, sure, that would work. Doesn't really matter as long as you're careful to not get smacked in the back by a bunch of mobs

rigid sigil
#

or nvm i have 3 second cooldown on throw

#

do i use all my cooldowns on that?

median tulip
rigid sigil
#

or half of cds

#

then other half

mighty valley
#

use all of your cds on cd

warm plinth
#

Heroic Throw does not have a cooldown. You have a cooldown because you're running Titanic Throw, which you can actually talent out of (I know it's in the pinned build)

mighty valley
#

well, offensive ones

warm plinth
#

What do you mean by cooldowns

#

Offensive or defensive

rigid sigil
#

defnseive

warm plinth
#

You can swap Titanic Throw to Bounding Stride and lose nothing

#

You generally don't want to overlap defensive CDs if it's not absolutely necessary

rigid sigil
#

lets go guys +15 first algelthar

come watch dude

#

its gonna be fun

median tulip
#

The most important thing on clearing the little plants is to make sure some trigger happy idiot doesn't pull threat whilst you are body pulling the room. Make it explicitly clear what the plan is before the start of the run.

warm plinth
#

like hey bitches, I'm pulling the tree room, attack early at your own risk

#

I think you could say it exactly like that and be fine

rigid sigil

u tanks are so knowledgable

30 years of wow

🤔 that's your prerogative, but we all started off being clueless

grizzled kite

We've all been there tbh

#

mistakes are just opportunities to learn from

rigid sigil

getting hit and saying ouch ouch ouch

then stunned

grizzled kite

you should be more embarrassed about leaving the key tbh

#

that's just an asshole move

rigid sigil

they wont get the key

#

n oway

#

i bet my life on it

#

they'll just rage quit

#

saved them time

#

why did wow make tanking so hard

warm plinth
#

You would've saved them even more time not jumping into a 15 after admitting that you're new. Do low shit that you're not likely to brick if you fuck up while you learn the spec.

rigid sigil

god will forgive me np

grizzled kite

seriously hurt me

grizzled kite
#

I'll fucken do it

#

this seems so good on paper especially with larger pulls

cinder nova
#

Where rage is never going to be a factor to limit the number of revenges you can cast, yes - it is.

#

That's usually from AOE pulls, and a majority of M+ pulls are adequate to generate the sufficient rage.

grizzled kite
#

Stop (Occasionally) Using Barbaric Training

#

yeah

#

the Wowhead guide only has BT on a raid build as well so it makes sense

warm plinth
#

Does it?

cinder nova
#

That'd be odd.

grizzled kite
#

last I checked yes

cinder nova
#

ST with tier and all your little gubbins BT is like somewhere near .5% behind

grizzled kite
#

AoE Build has it picked, not ST

cinder nova
#

Oh.

grizzled kite
#

not in Mythic+ build though

#

mistake perhaps

warm plinth
#

Oh good, it's been changed then

#

As far as M+ goes anyway

cinder nova
#

Only cleave build I ever use is Council.

warm plinth
#

It's good on some raid fights but not the majority I don't think

grizzled kite
#

Nah it's also on the Eranog fight specific build but I doubt that makes up for the adds part

#

Sennarth, as well. Kurogg etc.

Hiiiii
I know this might not be the best place to get an objective answer, but I have a question. I would like to reroll tank for mplus for the first time and I am debating whether to go paladin or warrior. I would like y'alls advice. What is the best thing to do for a first time tank and why? Greatly appreciate everyone who takes the time to answer ❤️

warm plinth
#

Both tanks are fairly easy to play. Paladin will be higher in community perception (and is objectively stronger in keys), but warrior is still plenty strong and will get you to whatever key levels you're aiming for.

pallid quiver
#

Pally is probably nicer since you have more overall utility that's fun to play with, but

#

The above is mostly it

#

Whichever you find more fun to play is the better answer, though that can be hard to tell without having played the class at endgame

#

Pally's also notable in that you get access to potential mechanic cheese with bubbles and all, so there's that. Warrior probably has a more fluid feedback loop with rage though.

Both are 100% strong and capable of any content easily, though, if that matters

elfin ginkgo
#

Thanks! I will go for paladin then. It is the only class I have never played before so that will be interesting. Is dwarf the best alli race?

pallid quiver
#

For tanking, generally yeah due to Dwarf racial cleansing bleeds and all, which tends to be the most impactful racial overall. Race won't make or break anything, though, so pick whatever mogs best to you

grizzled kite
#

I think dwarf was picked mostly because this season had such strong bleeds from adds/bosses

warm plinth
#

It's also less important somewhat on a paladin since you have bop and divine shield already that remove bleeds

urban portal
#

bop removes bleeds too i think

rigid sigil
#

key is done but the wal is blocked

#

cant loot

#

what do i do?

grizzled kite
#

Yeah but it's risky to drop aggro so only usable as external on party members

Not if you press it quickly and don't dawdle on the 2nd press

elfin ginkgo
#

Well humans always mog best IMO

astral bane
#

Anyone know if spell block actually works against broodmother's tank soak mechanic in mythic? it doesnt seem to work when i use it

pallid quiver
#

Doesn't Pally have some divine shield taunt ability, too, now?

#

listen i don't look at pink class that often

warm plinth
#

Yes, they've actually had it for a while; it just wasn't pickable in SL due to the other talents on the row

#

But it's part of the normal build now

pallid quiver
#

so they can just slap that and be fine theoretically

#

are they able to bop themselves?

#

i can't remember that

#

it feels like they used to not be able to kneejerk

warm plinth
#

Yes but you have to use a /cancelaura macro with it because bop drops threat

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, that one for sure

warm plinth
#

BoP isn't always run either; depends on the dungeon

pallid quiver
#

It's tied to Spellwarding, right?

warm plinth
#

Yeah, spellwarding is in the spec tree, but they share CD if both are talented

pallid quiver
#

oh that's how it works

i only know that loosely due to casual pvp

fallow osprey
#

do i need dps and/or heals to have icons as well for whispering incarnate icon to be worth it in m+ or is it good just by itself

hybrid gust
#

is it even worth trying to push M+ this week?

warm plinth
#

It's just a stat stick on its own, nothing special

fallow osprey
#

ok ya that makes sense, i have a heroic all-totem, heroic torch, mythic dec, mythic hoof to choose from but i guess that's a sim question ya?

warm plinth
#

So what combination are you using with icon?

fallow osprey
#

nothing yet i just got the icon, torch always gives me about 7%+ overall so i was thinking about that

warm plinth
#

Yeah idk. All-totem + something most likely, in keys anyway

fallow osprey
#

ok thx, i'll give it a look over

fair topaz
#

421 gear confuses me
if it isn't mythic raid gear, how does it exist?
you can only upgrade to 415, right?

i might be stupid idk

warm plinth
#

+20 M+ vault gives 421

fair topaz
#

oh so it's sort of like a special exclusive thing for 20 and up mythic+

warm plinth
#

Well it's just what the gear from the great vault scales to. Idk if it's really exclusive. It's just where it stops scaling

fair topaz

oh okay

Having it with Raf will be good and helpful for brand new players

sick sentinel

that is EXACTLY what new players need

especially if they are like couple

or brothers or sisters

tropic gorge

The downside to that ofc, is not knowing how to get to the destination without a summon

I've had that issue in mmo games where you get teleported and suddenly realize "shit I don't know wtf I am"

i think the idea is the less new players summons the more new player

Ya

#

Positive changes like that to help get more new players into the game is overall a good thing

The more the merrier!

sick sentinel
#

thing i would say too, is there is some tutorials that pop up automatically and that can be good or bad

should i be running back or is it better to just sit there and keep rage up lol

I tried sitting

#

that work alright

afaik none of those adds are actually "tanked" right?

but ultimately I found staying on the far add just as he starts casting the balls then heading to the group was the best way

ok

or else theyll smack dps

oh they will melee? ok i think i just misunderstood that lol

I would also recommend using a CD when moving

its probably the only time in the fight where shit hurts

correct

he just stand there

i think i spend too much time there

just pop wall or something when moving to the group

#

avoid balls

#

yeah yeah ok

and its gg

i had thought all 3 of them just typhoon non-stop

#

For the onyx Annulet is there any easy way to sim a different stone in top gear? I can remove them but can't add anything - or am i blind?

tawny kettle
#

what stats should I prioritise as a warrior

dusky canopy
#

Crit/Haste

#

some people here are on the side of the fence that suggest haste/vers

#

but crit/haste is the most damage

#

and we are so strong right now we dont worry about dieing

#

and vers wont make you live

#

playing well will

shrewd grove
#

Vers is a snoozefest. Don't max vers just bc it's boring imo

tawny kettle
#

so vers is like a crutch?

dusky canopy
#

vers is a stat that gives you damage and defense

#

but you need way to much of it for it to be viable

#

so you just dont take any on purpose

#

its like
ilvl>>>haste>>>crit=vers>mastery

cerulean tusk
#

Vers do allow you to push higher for your ilvl when you get stopped by gear checks. Atm warrior seldom face that, so crit is more value for DPS

dusky canopy
#

so basically you wont drop ilvl to get more haste but you will prefer haste if you have two items at the same ilvl and if you have two items at the same ilvl with haste and one has crit and one has vers you use the crit/haste one

#

etc

#

kinda make sense?

tawny kettle
#

I think so

dusky canopy
#

pretty much use the highest ilvl always

#

and if youre familiar with simming

#

that will get you the absolute best options from your bags

cerulean tusk
#

All you need to know really, shield is your best upgrade. Get a good shield and you can tank, no matter the content. It is the true bottleneck.
