Halls of Infusion is a garbage ass dungeon. It's gonna be one of the two I can see being major pug killers
lotta people quickly lose faith if they die to somthing dumb like a huge frog
there like what the hells going on, i just got killed by a frog?
There's some really nasty trash in that dungeon too
the whole gauntlet is pretty shit. There's a lot of dragons
probably invis shit for mdi
I'm not 100% but I am pretty sure the dragons have true sight
after frog i think u can invis past some dragons
im pretty sure i remember rogue doing it
I could be wrong for sure. Only been in there a couple times and not always on stealth class
put revenge on your bar and make thunderclap and shield slam easier buttons to press
👍
Oh I didn't even realize revenge wasn't there XD
Haha yea I looked at icy veins and that was the mythic plus build they showed me but I didn’t know the rotation for it
I changed it around
Rend and Slam don't need to be there
Change slam with revenge?
Ok that's great tbh
No, revenge would be replacing whirlwind. Your most commonly used abilities are Shield Slam, Thunder Clap, Revenge, Shield Block, and Ignore Pain. Those are the ones that should be the easiest to hit. Demo Shout, Avatar, Ravager, Shield Charge, and Thunderous Roar (once you have them all) should be the next easiest since you use those on CD. Pummel should also be quite easy to hit since it's your interrupt.
Ideally you put Ignore Pain on a button that's easy to hit in combination with other buttons; it's off-GCD so being able to hit it at the same time as other stuff is a plus.
You will never press Slam, and we cast Rend via Thunder Clap, so you will never need it separately on your bar.
That's better. Are you actually pressing 7-= on your keyboard? O_o
12 bottom mouse
what about the top row?
😬
Yea not very good at it
We are FAR too fast-paced a spec for clicking to be even somewhat realistic. We're like the 2nd fastest spec in the game right now.
Was first but then cocaine bear got that in game tie in.
Toi bear doesn't even have the limit of how to spend rage, they can literally just hammer on ironfur at 88mph
Yeah not many are playing that anymore though I don't think. Nocarn is more popular I believe since they capped ToI at 4 stacks
Toi is still easiest and top dps
But you sacrifice a lot of defensive kit to lean on it
Which is fine until something like a +20 tjs lady jade
But that's the issue with bears all in all, people slapping ironfur like they're playing g-darius and getting clapped by a magic tankbuster while a real bear knows this is time for rots or pulv and giggling
Then of course "fix bears magic defensive abilities" while they've literally got 45% uptime on a 30% Dr, 12?% passive Dr, and short timers on another 25% or 35% and then a 50% on top... but bears need help
Oh yeah we love the "bears are weak against magic damage" argument
I think Dreamgrove has a meme about that actually
they all say that
any tank that isnt viable is "weak against magic damage"
the only time that argument is valid is the raz cleave thing
i feel like you know very little about the state of guardian rn
Oh, do enlighten
entire spec is shoehorned into either being a livelord and doing 0 dps/contributing nothing which doesn't work in this expansion at all, or doing giga damage but flopping the second so much as a single tankbuster touches you
talent tree is a bloated mess of mandatory talents because the spec innately is so weak
There isn't a 0 DPS livelord build.
The biggest thing Bear is missing compared to every other tank is a cheese ability.
Having any niche whatsoever
Their niche is having cool models with shit animations and sound effects
Don't have any case where you'd go "yeah bear is good vs this" it's just mediocre at everything
So they're either forced to make Bear live against everything. Which they won't do.
Or give them something that's cheese. Which they also won't do.
bruh i swear every bear using the garbage mage tower model is going to drive me up the wall
Imagine caring what others do aesthetically
Bears are rare enough to not be considered basic anything
I like the mage tower model but I generally don't play with it as guardian because it's just too big
Hey Skip Leg Day Bear is getting animation updates in 10.1
Ok I got the hekili add on to help me with my rotation and that makes it a lot better
the guardian i play with uses size enhancers every time we run
I would murder him
bro is just an endless spazz of thrash animations
Playing large models is literally anti fun
RIP Bergy Blackheart amirite 😦
he thinks its funny but he also plays high
Yo let's push but I'm going to be severely impaired the entire time and make dumb mistakes
To be fair, next patch, guardian druid will be the king of HP size and HPS intake
That is a cool niche, no?
considering HPS is a non-issue, sure
They still won't have the largest health pool
Tfw bear stuck in tbc
the 950k hp DH is awfully 0 fun to heal though
Well especially right now since souls are bugged
I can't wait for my druidboy to be a biggest boy. My healthpool will be so big that nothing will touch it!
Imagine the shittiest tank spec getting their core mechanic legit just...broken
i gave up inviting anything but prot pals
Blizz either needs to just delete VDH or give them a ret-style rework. Like come on man
Not even prot warrior BDKs? Madlad
99% of bdks play the wrong build so it's valid to not invite them
why bother, prot pal does more dps, deals with every mech flawlessly, can save dps everytime they stand in bad
I see BDKs fairly regularly that aren't running shattered bone and I cringe
Ouch
Hey let's just miss out on 20% damage lol
VDH works pretty much as intended no? You go in, fight for 10 sec, then you leg it and kite until ready again.
You got plenty of tools to do great AoE ranged damage, so you never lose threat.
Fun?
Im a tank lol
Yeah lol.
i haven't tanked on pwar in months but healing its very noticeable. how smooth ppal makes shit rn
Need runetap and UE lol
no tank is intended to kite
Otherwise I die lol
DH is the kite tank tho
Hey, it worked
When nobody could facetank
Besides bear
But nobody played bear so they didn't know
They were the kite tank in S1 of Shadowlands when everyone was a kite tank because they were the only tank who could maintain threat while kiting
Exactly, they still can do that
Should we talk about how that isn't how tanks should function in modern WoW?
Less complaining, more kiteing. If ya dont wanna kite, go warrior and be stonk.
Sure, we can argue a bit about it
Good old target dummy meta
My argument: It is a very unique style of tanking vs being a dummy - it is also unique, so some people will enjoy it.
except its not how the game is clearly meant to be played.
Except literally no one is going to kite because it's moronic.
And you had target dummies
Hey, just saying it would be neat if it was by design for one class
No it wouldn't
no
No it wouldn't
fuck tank kiting
Why not? You could play other classes that dont
The sad part is
remember that they did some melee spell to fuck the melee if tank was kiting ?
It doesnt hurt you, it just causes more options
Because DPS exist and you'd be pulling mobs away from melee the entire time and out of Area of Effect damage...
Because you can't do that in raid
Who are talking about raids?
Those don't really exist anymore. I think there's like one in current content
And you have to be like 20 yards away for it to happen
yeah they dont exist anymore
Trust, Jordan, trust.
VDH the kitetank, coming to you, soon
will be BiS too, and you are forced to play it
Please cease typing
DH can play while running tho, with sigils and all abilities being semiranged
yeah sure
soul cleave/fracture are not ranged
gtfo
1 or 2 spell still fervent
Haunting gaze in TJS, and void slash when they're on the stairs
So we argue sigils gotta be buffed, so DH can kite more efficently, ok
specifically on the stairs
Wait, they are feverent?
It's not that they need to be buffed, it's that they're unreachable in the talent tree
one of the top pushing team in rio
That explains so much.
got a VDH
I think mortal hew does that too
and he doesnt kite like a little bitch
The fervent on the stairs shit
Oh thought it was a targeted blast, just got hit by it once and was very confused
Used to tanking it, as DPS it came as a ??
Void slash is usually targeted, but on the stairs it fervents cuz it bugs out
Will keep it in mind, decent info
yarp
Know of mortalhew, I played in a key with a tank running in circles around them once
360noscope hews

Yeah my tank was doing the double pull by the doors going into the hall and I got hit by mortal hew despite being decisively behind the mob
Sniped @viral arch a few times
The real power play in Halls is to move the Ragnarok shield just a bit so you get someone ticked
As God intended.
Or forget about picking up the shield altogether
nah use it early so people know its coming
Who would do something like that. Not me!
give them time to think about it
I'm kinda still salty about them making it so you can't immune the felblaze rush with shield anymore
Only works on the initial damage now 😦
Used to be nice to do it right at the last second so you could immune the rush if it happened at the end
Ye, that is why you used to delay it to 0.1sec
I remember. Now all you can do is LoS it
wait what?
Yeah they got rid of the council o' captains rp
Why am I surprised the Rogue liked that part
LISTEN MAN

I played a havoc DH in BFA sir
Yeah you'll just shroud to the boss and pull the entire area
SUUUUUUUUUUUUURE
see?
I even have video evidence
...slappyfists? whatevs
I assume you mean slappers
yar
Unguent Caress
I did have one of those I think
I bought a Mythic Ra-den kill with a few traders and got giga lucky
I played Ret and Arms in S4. fun times
I actually hated rogue in BFA. Never really cared much for sin or sub and outlaw was just a casino spec
Just non-stop fuckin RtB
Yes I remember the one outlaw key I did in BfA where I rolled all dungeon never getting 5buff
Good times
Ok I think I got the idea of the rotation now
Heck yeah
Yeah and the fact it was a DPS increase to just keep rolling instead of pressing Dispatch 🙃
🙂
Havoc was fun af in BfA though.
Yeah I really enjoyed it
It was alright
I liked the skill expression in like helping the tank dodge mechanics and shit
But your dmg breakdown in s3/s4 was just wrong
It was fun
Lol
Havoc is bis when momentum is the go-to playstyle
Hard disagree
If havoc doesn't play momentum it's not fun spec
Momentum is trash and it should burn in hell
Momentum is puke
Momentum havoc is peak design
Momentum/unbound chaos is why I stopped playing havoc
That's when I picked havoc back up

Fucking eye beam spam puke build is so awful
Legit 0 Engagement
Just spam 1 button
Speaking of Havoc. I wish I still had a clip of that havoc that depleted a hard mode carry of mechagon because they fel rushed off the final platform before even pulling the boss.
God I love that fucking clip
"Okay so this is what I'm going to do" fel rushes off platform
My only regret in s4 BFA was not playing FDK. Looked so fun!
deathly silent chat
The best part is that as havoc you didn't even have to fel rush to get both 
My regret in s4 bfa was being involved in tank communities
Oh god
And the regret continues to this day
Vers amp for 15s, right?
I got flamed by a healer in a +20 on vdh for not running vers amps
Anyone been having problems with Spell reflect not working on 3rd boss in Temple?? Like it usually reflects first time but then doesn't work after that
I got outDPSed on the 2nd boss of Motherlode several times by my VDH tank
Because his TD just popped the fuck off
Speaking of that. Do you upload from a recording or do you export from twitch?
Fun to see my firemage complain cuz I blew his pack up with my TD so his ignite went out the window
Export
Im way too lazy to manually do shit lol
I've been having issues with my exports not processing all the way to source. They seem to be capping at 720p for some reason
Skill issue idk
It's a refined skill
My favorite was when you would just will the TD to arc into the exact way mobs were positioned.

Or when it would proc off of charge/heroic throw and go into nowhere.

kek
This is the best feeling
What's that....oh ok that's 7% of my damage being lit like tissue into the ether
Pah
Switch that mastery with haste
Then you got my build
Up to 5 different haste procs on gear
150% haste during peak alignment

Wrists are overrated amirite
My Warrior had the same
.75 GCD was wild
Corruptions were stupid fun lol
When you could buy 'em anyway
Not wrong
If they ever get to a classic BFA they should just have 'em all unlocked off the bat
not rotating, just buy 'em
Classic always launches on the last patch
It still rotated weekly at the end, no?
Well the vendor
Like what you could buy
Sure
yeah his dad works at blizzard
someone said it in chat i believ
nvm i don't have reading comprehension
or didnt pay attention
If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he was just saying it was funny that a talent called sidearm is on the side of the tree
Is the big toe Trinket from SMB good for keys. That trinket, grief torch and whetstone all sim about the same
It's decent. Not a lot of amazing trinkes from M+
I have all the haste mastery. So my stats are just messed up for keys
RWS is the most amazing gudboi
Stats don't matter
Ilvl matters
405 ilvl is still rough
i love how yogi just ignores everything people tell him
except for things that are wrong



Also below that line I said "the developers taking the piss" or something
since it's on the side of the talent, called sidearm

but yes my dad works at Blizz
Daddy Ion?
Ion calling it like it is
Love Ion and I actively dislike any Ion haters tbh
Agreed.
I have no real opinion of the guy one way or the other.
Me neither, he's not a one man army developing this game.
And he's got bosses too
I'd say he's done really well with this expansion
What spec do you guys like as an alt tank? I like the smooth damage intake of prot where health only really drops low on rare occasions
Are you asking like...as prot mains which tank we would play as a secondary tank?
i prefer the crisp taste of budlight
BrM is nice
Yah, what do you guys like as an alt character for yourself
but how do you handle the rainbow on the can?!?!?!?
well my sexuality is as fluid as bud lites can
I play pwar and ppal
wtf
i fear no man, but that thing, it scares me
its if you know you know
I dig it though
arent we all
nah i'm perfectly normal
J is the normalest normal that ever normaled
what, we are tanks here right
what if there was a main battle tank outside your home at this very instance trying to shoot your gaming pc

cocaine is a helluva drug
the games im more used to playing are "bang, shit" games
I bet you're into Command & Conquer
some of it, some of it is horrible
command and conquer is a very long spanning series now lore is complicated to say the least
its about kane, a man that lives forever and always comes back to prefect health whenever he dies, even after being obliterated by a beam beam of light
SPOILERS
he wants to ascend and actually suceeeds at one point
then you have the other side red alerts ad thats just politically incorrect of the times
YOGI PLS
My brother LOVES Red Alert
I think he's been playing RA1 and 2 for like
10 years
i tried to do ra2 but im too dumb to figure it all out
russian campiagn: MISSION 1, DESTROY THE PENTAGON MISSION 2 DESTROY WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWERS/HACK THEM
they could NEVER make a game like that in todays time
Ooof
im way more interested in the tiberium based games
My guy is too dumb to destroy the pentagon
When the evoker dps starts pulling in an 18 trying to do MDI strats 
"you gotta pull like you have big cahones tank"
some random dps in a 16? hov after first boss
pulling everything for me, or well, the 2 stair packs anyway
What is happening right now
Skyhold #1
ill never forget the day yogi was seemingly under the influence of something, got suspended, and showed up 5 minutes later on an alt account
who has alt disc accounts lmao
👀
yogi is on a bender
"Requires specalization: Goblin Engineering."
Does blizzard seriously think it's cool to nerf pwars back to back in the beginning, and now no other tank can play high keys except ppals and nothing happens?
You're right, not a single tank can do high keys
that today? last week? or just a plot of the most recent dungeons?
definitely only prot pally
Those are the top keys on raider.io
here's a VDH for ya
I know they can do it. I think pretty much any tank can. It's just we aren't flavor of the month right now
I was responding to ikilyoufazt claiming that only prot paladins can do high keys now
I mean if you thought i was saying pwars couldn't do it you are very sadly mistaken, and should try to look into other ways to read someones comment
Yes i did, re read it then apply context clues, meaning you gotta use your head a little bit than that
Please explain the context I'm supposed to use to conclude you meant other tanks could do high keys?
And if you didn't mean that only prot pal can do high keys then why did you say it?
Like I'm supposed to just read your mind 
I'm not here to argue with a random bro, I'm talking about pugging wise blizz nerfed pwars early on cause no other tank had gameplay
Now it's the same with ppal
Yet nothing is happening
And had been this way for over 3wks
You're here to say something that is completely untrue then argue that you didn't say it apparently.
buff back pwar imo hehe
I pasted your exact words. Did your little brother post it or something?
Bruh get a life g
Younger siblings do be trolling sometimes
Did you expect to come in here and say nonsense and expect no one to question what you said or? I'm just failing to see your point for posting that.
We were nerfed a long time ago and we were meta for a considerable length of time following all of our nerfs. So what you say holds no weight whatsoever.
Your here to just argue, i stated a problem blizz seen in play for m+ early on, and now they are having that problem with a dif class and nothing is happening like it did war
So what? Blood DK stayed overpowered for like 2 seasons. It happens all the time.
If you didn't understand you coulda asked for clarification not tryna be captain dickhead and start arguments cause you feel empowered or something
man sometimes I hate having discord open on the side; i see some dumb ass takes
I'm not here to argue. I'm trying to find out what your point is for saying something that's untrue and then following that up by saying you didn't say it.
Even though you clearly did.
It's the old BBS classic, Ghash
I said re read repost what i said this time since your saying something untrue now
venting due to a lack of understanding and then still trying to moral grandstand
What did I say that's untrue?
You literally opened with a baited, bias and unfounded comment and are being scrappy because someone called you on it after trying to walk it back
he literally quoted you and you said he had to use context clues, despite u saying exactly what you meant lmao\
I'm happy to apologize if I said something untrue but I don't believe I did.
Go get your serotonin fix elsewhere
lets let yogi handle him
what is BBS lol
my hip
A bulletin board system (BBS), also called computer bulletin board service (CBBS), is a computer server running software that allows users to connect to the system using a terminal program. Once logged in, the user can perform functions such as uploading and downloading software and data, reading news and bulletins, and exchanging messages with ...
This is my entire reason for having discord
early ass forums, essentially, is the idea I was using it as
I'm literally all
24/7
Well now I feel old lol
I remember those
This is one of the only Discords I can mention BBS boards in an have a decent expectation that people know what I'm talking about.
I feel old all the time

gigachad pfp
Some of the takes are 10/10 to read, but others are just a feeling of disgust followed by another one to the list and I carry on with my day
I opened with nothing, i vented to see if others were having shitty luck getting into pugs the past few weeks take it how you want idgaf i have never came in here to start crap like folks who keep this open am day to get their fix apparently
we need real healing checks and not just lmao kick or die shit
How old are you?
Pushin' 40
ghash how could you
I just got into 4 pugs on my war and another 4 on the druid tonight.
heal checks would be very high sustained damage, otherwise it's a cooldown timing check imo
i'm nearing 28 and you made me experience a generation gap moment ;-;
thats exactly what we need
I'm not saying that you didn't say the prot war nerfs were early on. That isn't the point. The point is you made a claim that NOW only prot pal can do high keys. Which is not true.
like cathedral
Spring chicken
didnt play during cathedal, i dont feel like blizz put that many massive sustained tank damage fight sin the game genrally though
Tell that to decades of arthritis haha
Once again you misread and are ignoring what i was trying to clear up
Okay
i do remember solo tanking last phase on botanist in legion, that was one hell of a sustained damage phase
Nah dude you're just kinda being bad at communicating
Or purposefully trolling.
im speaking purely dungeons
Explain how
Because literally what you say you then say isn't what you meant.
Can we walk through this post rq?
Does Blizzard seriously think it's okay to nerf prot war early on (edited here to add your early on clarification), and now no other tank can play high keys except ppal and nothing happens?
And then being aggro with people who try to respond to what you actually said.
is there a way to see keys completed by what spec within a certain key range
It's even better when football takes out your knee at 19 and construction destroys a shoulder at 22
what top 100 players do doesn't matter much
Now add the pug part
You can look at like 10+, 15+, 20+, 25+
Add what pug part
You didn't say anything about pugs in that post
Yeah I posted that right away when he said it
Military medical discharge here. Ain't life fun
on rdruid, ppal noticeably makes a run easier then pwar
I've clarified what my original comment was meant for a few comments later
But now one is apparently seeing that
Can you point me to that? Because I didn't see that
Ghash - remember why you have the handle you do now on skyhold, I feel this is that sort of hopeless
All I read was you basically saying you didn't say what you said and pretending I was supposed to read your mind using "context clues" that didn't exist.
It was the argue with randoms comment
I did not think it necessary to create a draft to vent,
Obviously my mistake
I should have would have been e
Way less a headache
I would've been more than happy to listen to you vent if you had said something that was true like "man this sucks, it's so hard to get into pugs now that we're not meta anymore"
Like that I would've been like yeah that sucks dude
But you said something completely nonsensical and then got defensive when I pointed out that it wasn't true
My whole original vent, was my experience not getting into pugs for 24s/25s the past few weeks, because people only want ppals
We're all about facts here, so perhaps you need to adjust your objective key levels as getting declined from pugs leads me to believe you may be reaching above what your w/l ratio is telling the people doing invites
thats generally a true statement looking at raider io.
Yeah, that does suck. It's never fun being the recently displaced meta tank because there's a huge shift
Especially in the higher keys, the meta swaps hella fast
the vast majority of 25+ keys are being ran with ppal rn.
I'm 3095 i have all 23s done tyran
This is why we don't reroll meta
play warlock if you always wanna be meta kekw
I just really enjoy how people can still take an incredibly easy tank (prot pal) and play it like absolute garbage
But then, they were doing prot warrior like that and I don't think pwar has ever been easier
Generally priest warlock hunter rogue are safe bets
I've made comments here before, never had to create a entire rough draft, usually when someone doesn't understand the ask for clarity not jumping down someone immediately
I was debating between pally and warrior before DF and I just didn't care for how prot pally felt.
So ended up on warrior.
Haven't tried since the re work
Well, prot pally didn't change a huge amount. The only semi-significant difference is that there's no holy power minigame now
I mean ppal was buggy but strong and had some gameplay with how dusk dawn worked, now you literally blow wings and press whatever the fuck lights up
Yep
I enjoy both protection specs though. I think both have really well done animations and sound effects and are very rawr crash bang in their own flavor
That's the official term btw
Lol
Can't beat my bears broken left leg since wotlk
The what lol
I fucking despise gorilla form
Harambear, the gorilla bear forms lol
I don't think I've seen that haha
I'd trade that crap for the ability to wear hats in bear
The magetower appearance
It's garbage
Oohhh
Supposed to be werebear
Some people love it
It was a fairly common term back when mage tower first came out I think
But looks like a gorilla that skipped leg day
Thought you meant something new
in Legion
Yeah I never heard that one before lulz
Because it was only like 6 months after he got shot
Guess I was slacking on my druid memes during legion
Warriors got a badass tribal bone shield and flail, bears got - the grape ape
Spam, span, whatevs
I'm college I took narcotics because it was fun, now I take them to not throw people out windows
NGL though the community perception for ppal is hanky
You see it bleed into all tiers legit had a hpal join my druids key and be like "you want me to go prot if you have a resto setup?" No you spindly elfasshat all I want to make these DPS cry and slap IF like a hummingbird
Lol
Gotta love people thinking meta matters in like 15 and under keys too
Just chill out y'all
This is why I almost never pug.
even at 20, if you dont wipe and dps pumps youll overtime generously
TFW you have a devoker at 411 doing 50k overall
Yeah my goal for s1 was aotc and portals. Got all the portals with my friends. We ran mage, BM hunter, feral druid, and healer swapped from evoker to druid. It was fun, looking forward to s2.
"tell me you get carried by your friends without telling me you get carried"
yeah portals was my goal, took quite a few pugs tho. Would've been so much better with my old mythic raiding guildies hah
Isn't devoker like the simplest dps spec rn?
if you muck up fire breath or surge your dps is legit 0 though.
Hey some times people need a training wheels spec option lol
thats bm hunter
lol... well. Can't argue that.
One button macro rotation bm hunter can still do decent numbers
I'm not joking. I also didn't say "good"
I guess if you want to somehow make a cursed macro that won't work half the time, sure.
I certainly don't like or recommend it, but I don't have control over how other people play.
But with that statement you're saying it can be done whatever "decent" means.
And the hunter I run keys with clearly does it better than the macro person heh
Decent to one is garbage to another
True.
arguing for the sake of arguing 

Looks like a argument to me 
Anybody wanna run my thro dungeons lvl 62 prot warrior to learn rotations
Solo them

Prot warrior rotation is auto pilot af you will be fine
Hero rotation is your friend as well
Another evoker dps pulling MDI style in 18s
am I just cursed
or negative karma balance
sounds like bad luck, i never have anyone pull for me except maybe 2-3 times over 100+ runs
holy shit what
I put up my 23TJS key and I have three tanks, two are DHs?
interesting

I been pulling for tank a lot lately by accident because for some fuckin reason my hunter auto attacks even if I left-click target something 🤔
Is it worth to craft belt and neck or should I wait a little longer?
Kind of a vague question. What are you waiting for?
do it
The new raid
LOG IN
there's no reason to wait to craft anything at this point. Once patch hits you're going to need new sparks and new upgrade materials
although I had a pretty big fuckup earlier this week in my own AA key and didn't mit a tankbuster on Vex. Very room temp IQ moment.
THEY'RE GONNA NEED THIS WOG I KNOW IT
splat
I wasn't sure I'm new to tanks and I saw some people saying we weren't sure if the necklace and belt was still good
Well, the lariat is going to take a hit at the start of the season for sure. But by the end of the season, it'll be just as good. And even in its weakened state, it's going to be marginally better than a same ilevel necklace, and still has the advantage of being able to choose the stats.
nou
Okay that's fair
So I'll craft necklace first and then belt after
Haste mastery or haste versatility?
gigachad
Should also be noted that belt isn't really mandatory anymore because we won't have the raid rings. And I'm assuming you've already made a shield and weapon, right?
Yeah I have
ok, just making sure. A lot of folks think the embellishments are more important
Well did my first dungeon as a prot warrior and it was rough lol
👀
I need to look up more prot warrior YouTube stuff
Nope.
If you don't know the content creators and their credibility, don't look at YT.
The Warrior videos i've seen there are HORRID for the most part.
"Oh, warrior is so bad, so slow" - gameplay video of them sitting at full rage for 15s
😂
Ok frend.
It's just gonna be me looking sternly at the camera saying in a deadpan voice "Stop Using Barbaric Training" for 15 minutes
Lol
I will use it even more now.

Do it
I actually made some tips videos in SL, like kinda simple M+ tricks
But it's a lot of work to edit videos
especially when you don't know the first thing about editing videos
Lol right
Just upload with bloopers.
Like it took me idk
20 minutes to figure out adding a drawn line into the video to point something out
Oooof
Very high quality shit let me tell you
-You diddn't press SB enough
-You used too much Ignore Pain
-You diddn't press SS/TC on CD to generate enough rage
-You diddn't use Avatar/Thunderous Roar/Ravager/Shield Charge enough
-You used the wrong talents
-You need to learn the dungeon better.
You're welcome.
He's more of a prophet, less a val'kyr tbh
Yea yea yea
Je, 5/6 are definitely correct.
He might not have used the wrong talents because he was in here earlier asking a bunch of questions
Hello Mwahi I hope you have a great day
Hello Jordan, i hope you will have a great evening.
Naa.
Don't question me.
Are you doing periods before AND after now?
Too late

No, it was a typo. 😦
I’m using periods now.
I'd sub to that
How long will that last?
Anyone else do both Legion and SL bear mage tower and have the NPCs finish it off both times or just me?
I'll pay someone $200/mon to make quality M+ videos
I haven't done bear mage tower, too hard.
Sure.
The trick is it has to be approved by one "expert" or higher role from every tank discord
Sure, i'll pay them each 20€
Wait what kind of videos are we talking about?
Like general tips or?
I'm pretty positive Mwahi's got the experts on deck with them 20 euro bills
Ok so I think the one thing I’m confused on is which talents generate rage how to do you tell how much rage you have and which ones do you spend the rage on
What?
Well don't think of it as talents generating rage. Think of it as abilities generating rage. That'll be less confusing
The idea is something that's universally approved across all tank discords
You look at the Rage bar to see your current Rage.
You read the tooltip to see how much Rage the ability generates.
GO IN DO DAMAGE TIME KEY.
Ggwp.
10/10
We only spend rage on 3 things.
-Shield Block (which you should maintain 100% of the time)
-Revenge (which should be your go-to rage spender)
-Ignore Pain (which should be your button to press if you can't prevent overcapping rage with Revenge by itself).
Edited to make it easier to read
Can only be improved with "use kicks"
Damn, you're right
☝️
Also, Jordan diddn't specify which key levels so i'll just farm +2's for that quality M+ content.
Reality is once the channel got rolling it'd be self-sustaining financially
We just need to pump even harder. That'll solve the issue.
Everything will be like "Okay, this mob X does..awww, he dead".
Shield Slam and Thunder Clap are your main rage builders, but you also get rage from Ravager, Shield Charge, Demoralizing Shout, and your bleeds (which we apply by default by doing our rotation).
You know I think Mwahi made some sort of guide that might spell this out better
I can't remember though
Contractually I'd only withdraw once the person was making more than 399 USD/mon from the channel
Jordan is a rich person for sure
Definitely.
The funniest would be if i uploaded a dungeon video and talked over it after it would definitely be like
"Okay, so..you go in..wait, wtf am i pressing..no..don't do that..gosh..is that really how i play? WtF?"
lol
Same though
I'd have to title my videos - How Not To Do Brackenhide Hollow On A Prot Warrior
Would be easier if people just provided me videos of their gameplay.
And i can do a talkover.
Of what they are doing wrong.
Reduce my own work by 50%.

Yeah because you don't have to go do it wrong yourself

ngl I think it would be hilarious if someone in here reviewed my shit publicly because they'd find out that I might know a lot but I don't do it right at all
There is not a lot of vod review kind of content out there for WoW last I had seen.
I tell everyone to keep SB up all the time..meanwhile my SB is down and i'm spamming that Revenge.

lolol
Then again, I also don't keep up with the content creation scene for WoW, so...
Let me look at my last run on war and see how embarrassing it is
That's why I've always wanted to fund something like that instead of doing it myself.

Idk, i've offered to do VoD overviews and live feedback to anyone who wants. 😦
Think only 2 people have wanted it from me.
Most usually say "OH, REALLY?? I WANT IT"
And then dissapear.
"Make sure you have 100% uptime on IF when getting hit."
Spams Raze the whole dungeon instead of pressing Ironfur.
88% blocked hits
It's just not a cultural thing that WoW players do. Particularly since logs are a thing, and people default to "number make stronk" instead of wider play and strategy decisions.
Yes.
My CPM
ow
IN where?
Did someone die? Did you have to thumbsuck?
Wait, i need to go check my CPM before i know if i can make fun of you.
I don't think I've had a dungeon without a wipe/DPS or Heal demanding we wait for them or they leave that I've gone below 60 CPM
Time to check and see if I can what my lowest was...
Cleared out cookies and browser history, forgot to change away from "before account created". Around 2 years worth of logins just disappeared 🫠
We also got giga unlucky with the timing on the void guy after 1st pull and he spawned in as I was charging 
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/GBAFdwrahgMX84px#fight=1&type=deaths here you guys go, enjoy!
Oof, I'm a liar. My lowest in any recent times has been 59.2 CPM.
idk why that posted twice
frankly considering I do 1 key a week, it could probably be worse
Never dispel, never lucky
Maybe stop using barbaric so you have rage to actual press buttons

I only play correct talents sir
I do a shit job with them, but they're correct

Hi Jakey
👋
How are you this morning
Making that big buxs
Yeah I make pretty good money so it's worth it now and then lol
(since I'm paid hourly; if I was salaried I'd be upset)
no they determine you rank
higher the rank on a fight the more star points
higher ranks accross the board the more star points over all and higher the rank overall
u sure thats not for hc
cause 900 is like all bosses dead
yes
u can get more points than this guy without clearing the whole raid
its based on parses
what are the parses based on though? just damage or buff uptime of specific things, damage taken, mitigated etc?
There are parses for various things but the only ones people tend to look at are damage
damage done nothing else matters in raid if your playing correctly u live anyway so u should be going for damage
Like they have healing parses, and I think like execution and speed rankings as well
execution and speed are guild not char
right
Get hit , hit back, don’t die. Tank life. 🙂
im a new prot warrior and just got big toe and burgeoning seed. doesnt show up in any of the guides, but are they really that bad?
and if i use burgeoning, should i just macro it to like shield block or something i hit regularly?
that's not a bar; that's a weakaura suite.
Burgeoning seed is legit garbage and should be replaced by virtually anything as soon as possible that isn't a huge ilevel loss.
Big toe is fine, though not amazing
lol that terrible? yikes. ill replace with rumbling ruby then?
Yeah that would be preferable.
i also have idol of trampling hooves 
That's a decent one as well
would i want to use big toe on cd (2 min) or only pair it with avatar?
I'd probably pair it with avatar. You shouldn't have to hold the trinket very long anyway for it to line up
Just make sure you're holding the trinket for Avatar, not the other way around. Not worth it to hold Avatar
yeah id just get the trinket every other avatar then
Avatar has about a ~35 second CD if you're playing properly
So it'd be more like every 4th avatar
ohhh thats not bad. i forgot avatar has cd reduction on rage spend
during avatar for M+ dps, do i just spam revenge if everything already has rend from thunderclap? or does thunderclap take priority?
SS>TC>Revenge
TC gives rage and does more damage than Revenge
and can also reset SS
(not that Revenge can't; I just mean you're not losing that by casting TC over Revenge)
SS is still priority for aoe though?
Everyone knows that's what Ghash is known for
Rage?
Definitely not me though, I'm cool calm and Zen, like a monk.
Yep
I am an angy boi
Like Bansheelover
but in aoe, i find that i have so much rage that i cant even keep up with gcds. ill quickly dump into an ignore pain if i need but if i have defensives rolling and shield block up and the trash is going to die quickly, i just end up spamming tc and revenge and skipping SS
Gross, skipping SS.
hey, i did say im new to prot warrior lol
That's what Ignore Pain is for. You always want to be dumping rage. Ideally through Revenge, but IP is there as an extra dump
🤷
That's what i do from time to time.
More rage = more rage consumption = more Avatar 
You can ignore SS in like, fairly big aoe if you only care about damage
i mean if im living, i want to push more dmg
more healer dps, more tank dps = timing more keys
yeah but it still needs to be a decent target count to be an increase in damage
Shield Slam does a LOT of damage
oh ok ill keep that in mind
Like it'll be your top damage in keys despite being a single target ability
Yeah but what do you know?

I kid, I kid.
yeah im skipping too many. it's like 4th or 5th on my total lol
Ghash, what do I play in S2?
The only downside is that it takes ages to kill elites but you dont die haha
hmm, what role have you been playing lately?
i hit 3k on prot pally and not pushing anymore, so now im playing prot warrior and having so much rage that i cant press my buttons faster cuz of gcd is frustrating
Tank mostly, I'm thinking of possibly going healer in S2 though with the affix mix-up. No more grievous or explosive = comfy healer
I think rdruid or hpal are both going to be decent. Depending on what playstyle you like more
I have been playing only dps and now i started playing tank! I know you asked the other guy i just said my perc haha
Kinda liking the priest tier set mog
It's the prot channel, so i mean
the suspense is killing me

whats the ranking of dps trinkets for us, for tanking M+?
whetstone and dathea elemental
but elemental gets you killed or fucks something 90% of the time
totem one from kurog is good as well
I have a question about desyncing Hyrja. What would be the consequences of pulling her on light side, letting her cast sanctify, then stay here for eye of the storm, then only alternate sides ?
Think she gains too many stacks of light. One stack = 10% damage so she would eventually just start one shotting people with Expel Light. Also frontal would be brutal.
mmmm
why do you want to stay on the same side for multiple cycles anyway?
I guess he wants to have an easy way to reverse her sides but it's already very easy to do
For now in my personal experience, leaping at 4 seconds is not 100% reliable.
But it could be me.
Her cast sequence isn't static, that's why putting her in the middle after a single stack is the safest way
ok
idk i never did reverse her casts
and did HOV on +20 on both weeks
its a healer job anyway 😄
just jump the moment she casts first expel light
i usually just let the healer handle the first one
and then Rally the 2nd one
and healer should have some more stuff rdy for 3rd easily
this is why im legally not allowed to playmonk
Just watch Naowh's hyrja inversion video.
It's 100% reliable.
On Raz prog rn, what's yall's favorite on-use trinket outside of grieftorch
I have a big toe, been grinding for whet but someone was telling me they use hoof
Whetstone is myth
Doesn't exist
This week I was even going to stop grinding cos for whetstone
And running my own keys I ended up getting cos three times
It's mocking me
How can i improve my dmg for solo quests, world quests etc?? Through gear i guess
What spec are you using?
Like you just want single target damage?
Guessing for the big elites on the reach?
It's not a myth. It just is guaranteed to drop for the 370 dps alt in your group who still has green trinkets
This is true
I have one on my vdh
That character is dead to me for betrayal
Mained Bear for this season, farmed for it, never saw it drop. Levelled my warrior and it dropped the second time running it 
My druid has v bad luck for trinkets. Warrior on the other hand seems to be a magnet for them
My warrior has been using the bis for adorable all xpac, got a RWS week 1 and fuckall besides
this means that there has been 48999 builds of wow total? or im a bit confused what that number means or why its so high
my assumption is after 20 years they've tried that many versions
no big deal,
yeah, just amazing to think wow will have been edited in different in 50k ways pretty soon
it could be small changes or big ones, but typically, you'll see whatever is the released version each time that number changes. If they make any changes and build it, then it goes up
In prep for season 2, im rebuilding my weakauras, ui, and plater from the ground up. I know its been done by others, but i like doing it as an exercise.
Do yall track any important dots/debuffs?
Yes
What is that question kek
i mean it will be bad if you did not track your main stuff
That's not number of edits, that's probably in the millions
Our debuffs and dots are fire and forget because they happen as part of gameplay, as for npc debuffs on us or our cotank
i understood the question wrong my bad
I don't really keep track of most, but idk if there is any savage peck type things that you want plater to get your attention on for season 2
Warriors have a number of buffs and CD we track, but nothing we apply to the target needs to really be paid attention to.
Oh, demo shout
That's basically the only one that stands out
Ty thats what i was looking for
Do yall know of any s2 dungeon specific enemy buffs/debuffs that are high in importance?
I use arms but i dont have prob with dps but when i spec to prot it take ages for me to kill some elites but i dont die haha
