#

Im not online now to show you what talents i use i just was wondering what to do increase dps! Also I'm 361 ilvl so i guess it is the ilvl low too

sick sentinel
#

oh yeah the guy that asked earlier about 2 discord accounts lol

#

it was made long prior and for an entirely unrelated purpose

#

literal created like 2-3 years before any of what he mentioned i did, so wrong assumptions are still being made lol

uneven mason
#

Like it took me 3 hours on my monk in a rare farming raid to get enough upgrade tokens for 395

#

Idk if you can get a shield from the reach though..never tried

hazy bronze
#

You can

woeful bramble
#

Oh ok thank you! Im sorry if i ask stupid things but i dunno

sick sentinel
#

was almost about to miss doing profession weeklies

uneven mason
#

We like questions, rather you ask than go flopping aimlessly and getting all distraught.

But yeah the forbidden reach is a solid catch up mechanics, since it gets you to approximately normal raid ilvl

sick sentinel
#

good thing i remember

uneven mason
#

And you can convert the gear to tier

woeful bramble
#

Ok great then! I just finish now the campaign with Tyr and i will go to reach after to join any group

#

Probably i will gear my alt pala like this

sick sentinel
#

game gave me another spark for reasons

icy canopy
#

there is no weakaura to stell you when to use "spellblock" like the Spell Reflection wa or?

amber siren
#

Nope, same reason there's no WA to tell you when to use SW or LS

#

Hi all, I'm new to retail for the most part. I got dragonflight, dinged 70 and got my Forbidden reach ring and a couple pieces of loot so far. What is the progression like for this loot?

sick sentinel
#

need 9 more points wont have to pay for weapon repairs any more

uneven mason

#

to speed up your gearing one of the 4 rep vendors near the daily quest gives you a bag you can buy for 2k elemental overflow which can give you zskera keys, more overflow, or a piece of gear

signal terrace
#

In the event no one knows - I changed my loot spec to Arms and got the Whet Stone first time. So if others do that, it may help

amber siren
#

Yep whetstone is a DPS only drop, can't get it on the protection loot table

I've noticed retail has more buttons than I'm used to binding on classic.
So far I have
1-5
Shift 1-3
R,F
Shift R,F
Might have to make some more mouse binds.

strong forum
#

yeah if you wanna be proficient youre gonna need 30++ keybinds

#

retail is magnitudes faster than classic

gleaming prawn
#

At least with my razor mouse I don't have to stress my left hand as much.

modern brook
#

ergonomics is taking wrist movement and adding it to a thumb :^)

prisma crane
#

and then getting RSI on that thumb lol

gleaming prawn
#

I'm starting to need breaks every now and then. Boomer territory soon.

prisma crane
#

for real though, make an effort not to have anything rotational on your thumb buttons

modern brook
#

posture + hydration checks own tbh

#

only thing i have on my mouse are Off GCD stuff

#

for prot tthats shield block and ip

tropic gorge
gleaming prawn
#

Yeah good idea on the ogcds on mouse.

#

I've been lazy with my binds. I guess I'll take time this evening to sort em out.

modern brook
#

here u go i solved every "too many bind" problem anyone will ever have ver

this is real but why is ctrl not bottom left

but in my defense

i already really struggled drawing the squares

Any good resources for learning M+ routes?

uneven mason
#

Pressing w

#

Pummel is on those to give the real life kick experience

strong forum
#

pressing W might be confusing for somebody who hasnt played retail

uneven mason
strong forum
#

but it should get you through most dungeons by just pulling what ends up infront of you

uneven mason
#

Thunderclap on defensive stance, I almost cried

daring marlin
#

AK was fun to pull everything into first boss.

uneven mason
#

I WA screams at me if I'm in defensive

warm plinth
#

your what now

uneven mason
#

I use the basic bindings for stances so very unlikely to be accidentally pressed

#

But like we covered earlier

#

That a hard key for people with normal hands to hit

gleaming prawn
#

I've done m+ in shadowlands but I was doing it at launch

#

I just don't wanna be THAT tank

#

Def stance being a suggestion rather than a mandatory thing is odd.

urban portal
#

why would it be odd

#

its 15%

#

its 1 key level

#

but the extra damage you do is also about 1 key level

gleaming prawn
#

I'm a classic andy

urban portal
#

didnt defensive stance enable some spells

gleaming prawn
#

Yes

urban portal
#

yeah they tried to get away from that

gleaming prawn
#

It also gave you a threat multiplier

#

That's why it trips me up seeing that

urban portal
#

well the threat multiplier is there to compensate for the reduced damage

#

back then

#

now tanks get 650% threat baseline

gleaming prawn
#

So really anything that isn't m+ or big hits in raids I should just be in offensive stance?

urban portal
#

battle stance should be your default

modern brook
#

Consider it a defensive cooldown

gleaming prawn
#

Ok

modern brook
#

And you pay for it in damage rather than time

gleaming prawn
#

Makes sense that way

#

My noob ass doing time walking in def stance : 💀

uneven mason
gleaming prawn
#

I assumed so.

#

When 1 tclap caused enough to hold while I leapt to 4 other packs.

warm plinth
#

No, but I was more questioning what you meant by "stance pedal" lol

uneven mason
#

Because my stance wa isn't active in fury

gleaming prawn
#

Look at dps meter, top in def stance.
It's over.

urban portal
#

and TC applies rend

#

so TC+rend+deep wounds is enough threat for a long while

gleaming prawn
#

A far cry from classic threat for sure.

grizzled kite
#

What is the stun diminishing returns reset timer?

#

Like how many x seconds until it resets for e.g. stuns, fears

#

18 seconds(?)

warm plinth
#

But it's from the end of the duration of the last CC of that category

#

So from shockwave cast to end of DR, it'd be 20 seconds (assuming no other stuns went out and yours was the first stun)

grizzled kite
#

Thanks Ghash

#

❤️

#

Also this rn on Dathea

warm plinth
#

Why do you do this to me

#

Though tbh I know jack shit about the raid and that might actually be worth running on that fight

grizzled kite
#

Just needed more damage on adds

wow so you can stay in 1st fucking gear like everyoneon every highway thats so pog

The car corners better at 60 than it does at 5

a pinball game i used to own demo of as a kid

and it would only play this table and it would kick me out after exactly 5 or 10 minutes

#

but i could just restart the table forever

what oes that have to do with a shifter

sick sentinel

the entire table is about cars

@astral atlas I bought a shitty foot pedal for mashing maul on my feral druid in classic.

Is there a stronk build for adds on Broodkeeper?

#

m+

grizzled kite
#

Bounding Stride is worth on adds right?

unkempt hatch
#

What’s the trick with keeping SB up 100%

warm plinth
#

There's no trick, it's very easy to do

unkempt hatch
#

Is it worth using when not actively tanking?

warm plinth
#

Yes, because it increases Shield Slam damage

#

If you're not running Heavy Repercussions, then in a raid setting when you're not tanking, you should use it enough that you're not wasting it, but not too much that you don't have it for when you're tanking again.

unkempt hatch
#

Im very new to warrior. So I’m just probably playing bad. But I don’t have enough haste maybe? I just can’t keep sb up 100% even with using last stand and SW when tanking

warm plinth
#

Are you talking about in keys or in raid?

unkempt hatch
#

Raid

warm plinth
#

You can run Heavy Repercussions to make it easier. Bolster won't be necessary

unkempt hatch
#

Maybe I was using the wrong talents. Im not even sure what I was using lol

warm plinth
#

which prot warrior is you?

unkempt hatch
#

Ticagrelor

warm plinth
#

Does SEnnarth have adds up a lot?

unkempt hatch
#

No, not really

#

None that matter or do anything

warm plinth
#

Then you should not be using Barbaric Training or Bloodsurge

#

Swap Bloodsurge to Instigate

unkempt hatch
#

I legit just jumped in from leveling

#

So I probably just had a bad build

warm plinth
#

Barbaric Training is a minor DPS increase in AoE when you have spare rage for it, but it's not worth using on ST

#

just starves you for rage

grizzled kite

How trucked am I for tanking Diurna on my warrior? critcake

Raid question

hardy snow
grizzled kite
#

Hm alright

#

Is it perfectly fine to sit in defensive stance all the time? 🤔

shut summit
#

ye, you aint exactly goin to do much anyways without aoeing

#

just gotta be careful of overlaps with egg pops / tank debuff and its pretty chill

sick sentinel
#

I tried cleaning up my bars a little bit

grizzled kite
#

Is that a rotation helper?

uneven mason
#

Is that a cellphone pic

grizzled kite
#

If it works for you that's good but you'll become reliant on it too much

#

Our rotation is very easy rn

uneven mason
#

Wat

grizzled kite
#

It's diff categories depending on what you are doing, think it's buffs/aoe/single target

uneven mason
#

Sound like something that doesn't need to be there

warm plinth
#

Tbf it'll probably put them in the top 70% keks

same with ravager/roar

all in CDs that are disabled

does it take account of mechs that forces you off

technically wowanalyzer does that

#

trakcs missed gcds

daring marlin

bruh lmao

urban portal
#

objectively true

#

gearing alts has never been this easy

daring marlin
#

100%

#

Crafted gear sucks but whatever

#

If you put in some time you skyrocket that ilvl

#

I love it

urban portal
#

crafted gear isnt too bad isnt it

#

cant you get all 5 sparks day 1

#

and just grind m+ for valor+chaos

#

you can probably hit 411 in 1 week if you are dedicated enough

craggy pilot
#

but i think he means the gold cost

#

and ye when making new toons, the Primal Focus takes ages to grind

#

50 dungeons for 5 items 💀

urban portal
#

well you kinda need the valor and score anyways

#

not too bad

craggy pilot
hardy snow
#

can someone explain me why in such position I've took unblocked dmg from stoneslam? I had both shield block and spellblock active on this cast, was my positioning bad or what? Did not have such issue with any other casts, only this one, but i thought im standing properly front toward boss

modern brook
#

Can u just link the log ahits unreadable:(

daring marlin
#

Getting five 392+ off the rip is pretty good.

#

Definitely helps you jump into keys

warm plinth
hardy snow
urban portal
#

now filter for shield block on

#

and see if the big hit disappears

hardy snow
#

nope, it doesnt, it even shows icon that buff was there

warm plinth
#

Well idk what to tell you. You had to have been not facing the boss. are you 100% that the replay is from that specific one? And you don't turn from the boss anywhere close to the hit going off?

#

Or were you stunned or channeling a trinket or something?

hardy snow
#

I didnt have any stun and I dont use any channeling trinkets

modern brook
#

I just desperately want to see yhe log instead of 75% of 3 lines from the log 4 different ways 😦

craggy pilot
#

JUST SEND THE LOG

#

OMFG

warm plinth
#

Yeah, same tbh

hardy snow
#

thats why i wanted to ask here, as Im totally not aware of what the fuck happened

craggy pilot
#

is the log replay direction even that accurate?

modern brook
#

I'll dig in like 15, assuming it's not solved by then

craggy pilot
#

is Mortal Stoneslam even blockable in the first place?

#

like its not on the Sense spreadsheet

#

so i doubt it is

hardy snow
#

physical portion is blockable, magical portion with spellblock

craggy pilot
#

oh wait nvm the dmg taken says blocked 5/6

hardy snow
#

it is in the spreadhseet, its called mortal stoneclaws there as it called in p1 (it changes to stoneslam in p2)

warm plinth
#

Yeah you can see other events of it that he blocks

craggy pilot
#

yea i saw

#

idk looks weird tbh, chunks like 90% of ur hp with SB + Spell Block on

urban portal
#

my only explanation is that the log is not tracking your face accurately

craggy pilot
#

yea same

#

idk if you have video

warm plinth
#

He doesn't block either hit either. Like that's gotta be the explanation but it's showing him facing that way so idk

craggy pilot
#

and i have no clue how "accurate" the replay thing is

craggy pilot
#

like i never did Diurna Mythic

warm plinth
#

It's pretty typical of most abilities like that that the damage events aren't perfectly synced

#

Hakkar did the same shit

hardy snow
#

yea and I remember that i was facing the boss, I even have done melee hit at 8:06.2 and 8:07.7

warm plinth
#

Yeah he's hitting the boss all the way up to his death

modern brook
#

ALRIGHT DORKS MAKE WAY FOR PROFESSIONAL LOG SLEUTH BLORDFANGO

warm plinth
#

*Blordfango

modern brook
#

good catch

hardy snow
#

I know I was sometimes positioning badly, especially when moving to egg with laser or something, but that was heavily noticeable and I was aware of that while running, but in this moment Im sure I was fine in this matter

craggy pilot
#

do you have video?

#

like did someone stream?

hardy snow
#

no

#

I know its 99.9% skill issue, but I just would like what exactly so I can avoid such mistake in future XD

modern brook
#

this is hard smh

#

50000% easier to see with a vod

craggy pilot
#

damn and still 1.5min on Last Stand

modern brook
#

but u definitely didnt got punched in the ass moving

warm plinth
#

he didn't move

modern brook
#

u didnt move

warm plinth
#

And he was meleeing the boss literally in the same half second he died

#

Which means he can block

craggy pilot
#

he moves like this

modern brook
#

8^)

craggy pilot
#

but the replay is saying he faces the boss

modern brook
#

i had the wrong guy highlightled lmao

craggy pilot
hardy snow
craggy pilot
#

Professional log sleuth Blordfango had the wrong guy highlighted 🧐

modern brook
#

idk why im being bullied i wasnt wrong :^)

craggy pilot
#

trying to post screenshot of the "edited" part, and its UBER small for some reason 🤣

#

my only explanation is he was moving to the right from 8.04-> 8.08, and the replay is not fast enough with the direction

warm plinth
#

but yeah idk @hardy snow I don't think you necessarily did anything wrong but I think that movement right before you died must have somehow registered as you facing away from the boss for a split second

#

and it just happened to be the split second the mechanic hit

modern brook
#

it def has something to do with the movement

warm plinth
#

there's no other explanation

hardy snow
#

Ok, thanks for help, so I have to be more cautious when avoiding wildfire

craggy pilot
#

direction on replay does look very choppy tbh

modern brook
#

im telling u with a vod we see his 1080 kick flip rotation and the answers he got hit in the ass

craggy pilot
shut summit
#

ye its either facing or some weird laggy shit with server ticks and when you put up block vs when you got hit

#

its super tight from getting block to the melee so could be either, hard to say without vod

urban portal
#

oh yeah

#

thats 1/8th of a second

#

can definitely be a server tick thing

warm plinth
#

I think we can safely blame spaghetti code this time but can't hurt to be a bit more proactive next time

hardy snow
#

so its combination of skill issue and small indie company 😄

craggy pilot
#

doesnt look like there is a gap in his autos, so if he was facing away it was for less than 1sec

#

like 1.5sec between every auto up until death

warm plinth
#

jkjk

craggy pilot
#

but ye u drop SB at 08.03, and gain it at 08.07

hardy snow
craggy pilot
#

oh wait ur running Bolster 🤔

#

isnt HR the play on Diurna?

#

(i heard, didnt personally do Diurna other than HC)

#

like idk, but tanking the boss for 4sec with no SB up seems kinda 😬 to me

hardy snow
#

its not a problem when she is casting

#

but it seems to be when she slams you right after block is back 😄

daring marlin
#

I haven't tanked a key on my warrior in like two months

craggy pilot
#

like i was on adds, but my SB looks like this in HC Diurna 🤔

daring marlin
#

Think I will tonight for my one vault slot.

hardy snow
#

terrible next one XD

daring marlin
#

I've just been slappin' on my prot pally

craggy pilot
#

but honestly @hardy snow consider running HR + Instigate/Bloodsurge, its pretty good value on Diurna since ur tanking 24/7 basically

#

if progging at least

#

but its just my 2 cents from someone who is 0/8 Mythic 🤣

toxic pewter
#

Still waiting for the community outrage of prot pally being op

uneven mason
strong forum
#

Happens a bit in how

#

But not on twitter

#

The only that happens there is complaints about no healer m+ runs

#

And pvp vs pve cosmetic reward structure

"Lets nerf leach instead of addressing the fact we made paladins unkillable"

strong forum
#

I dont care about that

#

Whatsoever

#

Let em be strong, idc

#

It's just the barrage of bullshit we had to deal with

uneven mason
#

NO I mean, their reaction to healerless

strong forum
#

Ah

#

Ya idk or care about that much either

uneven mason
#

But yeah anytime warriors are doing well, the other tank communities get a hair in their ass

#

and don't shut up

strong forum
#

I think it's cool that dps have impactful off healing capabilities

#

But also

#

They nerfed the prot pally talent

#

From 250% increase based on HP, to 100% based on HP

uneven mason
#

So it'll still fully heal

strong forum
#

No clue

#

Idk how impactful that is

uneven mason
#

unless you're using it on a BDK/Guardian/VDH

warm plinth
#

No one ran that talent anyway, unless you were specifically trying to do no healer runs

#

I don't even know if htey run it tbh

uneven mason
#

yeah

strong forum
#

Again, no clue

warm plinth
#

WoG does plenty of healing without HotP

strong forum
#

Eh

#

Hotp does make a huge diff

#

Instead of 150k wogs you can send 500k

#

That's pretty relevant

stuck peak
#

pretty frequently too

warm plinth
#

Not anymore you can't 😉

strong forum
#

Ive been wogged for 350k pre-rework

#

So yeah pretty sure you still can

#

Our 5tank runs literally required both our paladins to run hotp

#

Back in January

uneven mason
#

But yeah the reason behind we won't see Paladins take the same level of shit as warriors did, is because people can accept BDK/Paladin to be OP because they're EXPECTED to be.

strong forum
#

Nah

#

People just like them

#

People don't like prot warri

#

It's that simple

#

Prot pally is the most popular tank after bdk even when not meta

#

You can always see if when you check the 15-20 key range of any season

uneven mason
#

So, going back to what I said earlier about the people doing the complaining were literally the prot paladins

strong forum
#

Despite prot pally not being represented as a top tank

warm plinth
#

Prot paladins were complaining about being strong?

strong forum
#

They're gigantically popular in that key range

uneven mason
#

The early season outrage folks tossed at us

warm plinth
#

🤷

#

I don't give a single fuck what other people say about the spec I play

uneven mason
#

Literally I have a stalker from the guardian discord because I said paladins were a better tank overall just before the first MDI

#

foaming at the mouth rage about the concept that warriors weren't OP demigods

strong forum
#

Aka unfair

stuck peak
#

I think popularity and the FotM players kinda killed warriors at the beginnning

uneven mason
#

That's what we call in statistics as an "Confirmation Bias" where they'd literally scream about how OP we were while pointing at like, the 3 times we can use SR

stuck peak
#

Chasing the FotM and being the only t ank completing 20+ keys really doesn't help any tank's case

strong forum
#

But

uneven mason
strong forum
#

Literal the World 2nd +20 only 9minutes after the World first +20 Was done by a brewmaster

uneven mason
#

which has mostly been the case outside of like, the first 2-3 weeks where our sheer brickyness allowed keys ot be pushed a bit higher

strong forum
#

When people screamed that brewmaster was unplayable

uneven mason
#

😄

uneven mason
warm plinth
#

What I think about what they say makes no difference

#

So why should I care

uneven mason
#

BRM could drop some bombs

#

even if they were a bit weaker defensively

#

The public mentality of "It's not #1 so it must be miles in last place"

#

or the fact that people are confused about the difference between "Tank balance" and "Tank Meta"

#

a spec can be just unkillable (BDK/VDH) but not the meta because they don't bring as much to the table (early on Rally, paladins literally having an answer for every mechanic ever)

strong forum
#

Bdk are the ultimate cheat

#

They can ignore up to 90% of mechanics in raid

stuck peak
#

Yep, only thing they lack is speed

strong forum
#

Which is why they're the best raid tank

#

I've come to terms with that fact

uneven mason
#

I never get it like, people were screaming about warrior meanwhile BDK was just legit laughing at tank mechanics in Mythic raid

#

Oh right

#

because Sense did like 60k DPS

#

that was their biggest complaint

#

in that first week

doing prot in dungeons is a good way to do it

I’m learning a lot more

#

Can I use the same build as mythics in dungeons?

#

Or does it not matter

warm plinth
#

Well, kind of

#

You don't have all your talent points yet

sick sentinel
#

Yea just working on getting the build going

warm plinth
#

I'd probably go with this for level 62

#

No weird talents that you won't take at max level. Just giving you the ones that'll probably be more useful first

#

since shit will die fast in normals

sick sentinel
#

Ok

crude notch
#

And were shocked people got on your case?

pallid quiver
#

But like

He was right, though

#

On top of that, you shouldn't follow people between servers just to get on their case

#

That's actual harassment

pallid quiver
#

That's what he inplied with the "Literally I have a stalker" part

#

That being said, that's also happened before with someone else in a different situation

#

Iirc someone got angry at someone else, got banned from Peak of Serenity iirc, and came here to publically harass the same person

crude notch
#

Yeah I agree if the person was jumping from discord to discord bugging @uneven mason

pallid quiver
#

so i at least have prior experience to think that statement isn't actually just hyperbole

crude notch
#

If that person hasn't said anything in other discords though to or about him, then it becomes the reverse situation.

daring marlin
crude notch
#

He's saying people won't complain about Pala being OP because it's popular.

expected to be op?

I'd say blood dk is definitely in an unhealthy state for the game because it's fully self sustained with a lot of overhealing no matter the incoming damage without fully investing into defence, it's not meta in keys because it does low damage and has poor utility but in raids there is def something not quite right about the spec (not even mentioning the cheese with death advance and ams)

I think you're overestimating the negativity towards prot warriors, it has bad press because it was very overpowered compared to other tanks at release and a lot of ppl felt forced to play it/lots of ppl made an alt prot warrior and a lot of clowning ensuing, but there is no targeted hate against the spec

🤔 Is it though?

This is the same weirdo shit that happened in S2 of BFA. People bitched about Prot Warrior damage in S2 despite the fact they were doing GIGA DAM in S1 too. It was just clunky as fuck cuz IP was on the GCD.

it took a few nerfs and major buffs to other specs to bring them in line and most guild in the rwf were running double prot warrior it's safe to say it was op

It's a comment on oversight in an era where they've tried to move the focus away from exclusively making things only available for raiders

dry cobalt
# modern brook at this point in the season

To be fair, your original comment was a question, which could easily be read as you thinking people might be implying at this point in the season. Pretty simple misunderstanding if that's the case. Unless of course you were making a completely separate point from the conversation at hand, but then again that also seems like a simple misunderstanding.

torn gulch
#

You might have to not use lariat for a while next season

crude notch
hardy snow
torn gulch
#

Yea but it s free vs a lot of gold

#

That was the problem

hardy snow
#

its not free

#

first, you have to raid and be lucky to get it

#

second, you can still sell it instead of using it

#

so if a recipe is worth for example 100k

#

even if you get it from drop, you are still 100k behind by not selling it (minus ah tax)

#

so with crafting from this recipe you still have to overcome this 100k deficit

crude notch
#

I can see where Ika is coming from though. Make there be M+ only patterns if you're gonna have Raid only patterns.

#

or make the same patterns available either way

#

Alternatively, you could probably get it from LFR.

I feel like you're kinda missing the point Jawor and circling back won't do any good.

modern brook
# hardy snow so you can buy it on ah, there is no difference in terms of profits

The difference is in the timing - selling the actual product when supply is signficantly scarcer than demand makes money significantly faster, even if you include the opprotunity cost of not selling the recipe at the time. doubled down by the fact that the recipe can drop for you again, and you can just sell that. codex is sitting strong at like 650k still on my server
