#

they do a comparison

#

which is fine

cerulean tusk
#

He gets it

warm plinth
#

Exactly. Or describe the spec's weaknesses. I assume anyone trying to pick a tank is going to read all of the tank articles anyway. So they'll see that bear doesn't have this but brew does, or paladin has this but pwar doesn't.

crude notch
#

They do that

austere sleet
#

this being the header of a section dedicated to ways prot pala is better, is a simple comparison?

crude notch
#

Clearly you're not reading

#

THe section isn't just

#

Because paladin is stronger

#

there's other parts to the damn article

warm plinth
#

You are getting so upset about this for literally no reason.

crude notch
#

I think you really shouldn't tell me my emotions on something

#

thanks

warm plinth
#

We obviously have our own opinions on the article, which is not against the rules.

cerulean tusk
#

Sorry Karren

crude notch
#

yes but you're suggesting that they didn't write weaknesses

warm plinth
#

No, no I'm not.

austere sleet
#

I am saying the Paladin is OP sections are overwritten and come across as an unnecessary rant. That the articles without them are perfectly fine

crude notch
#

Or describe the spec's weaknesses

#

That's what they did

warm plinth
#

I'm saying that they should describe the spec's weaknesses, not say other tanks are stronger

#

Why is the other tanks are stronger part a necessity

crude notch
#

Because people that are reading that actually take those articles serious are reading them because they're trying to decide what they should play

crude notch
#

And if you don't think being weaker than the strongest spec doesn't have an impact in pugs

#

you clearly haven't played a poor performing spec

warm plinth
#

No one thinks that

#

No one in here said that

austere sleet
#

as a Guardian druid main, I can assure you thats wrong

crude notch
#

Then stop acting like it

warm plinth
#

We aren't lol

austere sleet
#

you need to stop assuming other people intentions

crude notch
#

That's cute

#

coming from you

cerulean tusk
#

Jordan attacking some self-made strawmen in the shadows now

warm plinth
#

No one is saying one thing or another about how pugs will perform with tank A vs tank B Jordan. We're literally talking about the articles' contents.

crude notch
#

Who just assumed my intentions

warm plinth
#

You are though

austere sleet
#

jordan hitting me with a uno reverse on something that doesn't make sense at all

warm plinth
#

You're making up shit that we are supposedly talking about. But we are literally just talking about the contents of the articles and that we feel they went overboard on the "Pallies are OP" spiel

austere sleet
crude notch
austere sleet
#

what????

#

hahahaha

crude notch
#

did you not

#

Ghash

warm plinth
#

I clarified what I meant afterward.

austere sleet
#

you've gotta be a troll

warm plinth
#

or does that part of the conversation not count

cerulean tusk
#

We just think the rant could have been one sentence. That is basically it.

crude notch
#

i did make it one sentence

austere sleet
#

...

foggy wigeon
#

I mean the point they are trying to make is that you probably dont need 5 paragraph section just dedicated to comparing yourself to the best not that the section and mentioning it isnt helpfull

austere sleet
#

what

warm plinth
#

Again, talking about the articles, not you Jordan 🤦‍♂️

crude notch
#

wait

#

hold on

#

NotSean

#

used a picture

#

of the rant being one sentence as a bad thing

#

lmao

cerulean tusk
#

Jordan, you are unhinged atm. Take a breather mate

austere sleet
#

are you not reading what we're saying?

crude notch
#

I'm sorry I'm busy chasing all the ill-guided arguments around

#

it's rough

jagged pier
#

its the warrior discord we dont read

#

we yell

warm plinth
#

Battle Shout duh

crude notch
#

every one of the guide writers compared

lime urchin
#

If we could read we would be in palading discord. Noobs with their books.

austere sleet
#

lol, I literally said that it's the header of the section bashing paladins

lime urchin
#

We thunderclap here sir

cerulean tusk
#

You are attacking self-made strawmen, just chill. Take a step back and regroup.

crude notch
#

and you guys want comparisons or don't want comparisons make up your mind

jagged pier
#

actually we wouldnt because we didnt complain about needing buffs even tho we are the strong tank by far

cerulean tusk
#

Read what we wroty

jagged pier
#

oh and calling for warrior nerfs

crude notch
cerulean tusk
#

We are not

austere sleet
#

we haven't

crude notch
#

you obviously win an argument when you flip flop the whole time

austere sleet
#

not a single time

warm plinth
#

It's kinda weird that several people probably have slightly varying opinions on the same subject, isn't it?

cerulean tusk
#

I know right

warm plinth
#

You're not arguing with a mob or something. There are multiple people taking individual parts in this discussion.

#

Naturally some of us will have some differences in our opinions.

foggy wigeon
austere sleet
#

We are a collective now, one mind, and he has to cahnge that

crude notch
#

I don't see anything wrong with comparing yourselves to the top tank when trying to enlighten people

cerulean tusk
#

One of us

crude notch
#

there

#

happy now

warm plinth
#

So why can't you just say that and leave it that way instead of arguing with us when we're just sharing our opinion as well

cerulean tusk
#

Sure, we agree. I just wanted to not have the rants and bad writing

austere sleet
#

comparing? fine. entire sections harping on about the "top" tank, not cool. there. happy now

crude notch
#

I did say that

#

Forever ago

warm plinth
#

This whole thing didn't even have to take place. I think this, you think that. The end.

crude notch
#

mandl literally goes point by point comparing

foggy wigeon
#

Tbh this convo feels like that one time i went to Moonglade for bear tips

cerulean tusk
#

To be fair, the impression I sat with was it was more a article about prot pally, than the actual spec in question. I don't care about prot pally, when I am not here for prot pally info.

crude notch
#

Which article

#

To be more specific which one are you referencing

cerulean tusk
#

Warr was esp bad, gdruid had some, BDK again dame rant part.

#

It is an overall thing

austere sleet
#

BDK, half the article is prot pala

crude notch
#

I will admit that the BDK one is the worst one

#

But like Warrior was way more about Warrior than Paladin

cerulean tusk
#

Should be 0.1% pally max, i don't care about pally when the theme is warrior

#

Pally can talk pallyshit in paly article hippo

crude notch
#

It's just silly to not account for other tanks in a why you shouldn't play something.

#

Because normally when saying why you shouldn't play something, that implies you're gonna play something else.

cerulean tusk
#

Ya can mention it, but no need to rant or go into details. Refer them to pally instead, move on to actual spec related info

crude notch
#

But Mandl does that

austere sleet
#

my issue I take with some of the articles is that fact that all they compare to is pally which makes it come off as a rant about pally. like I said, warriors article never mention not having grips or ams, blood dk doesn't talk about rally. The only article so far that's mentioned multiple of the other specs is gdruid

crude notch
#

You must've missed Pump's mid-season article about state of guardian when all he talked about was PWar

#

By your guy's definition of "all they talked about"

austere sleet
#

No, just we're discussing these articles

#

We can go back and look at peoples articles from shadowlands too if that would be helpful to the discussion?

#

to quote a great scholar "thats constructive good job" - Jordan about 20 minutes ago

crude notch
#

Anything for you chief

ionic fern
#

Aight, this doesn't seem to lead anywhere.

#

So knock it off.

marble cipher
#

Jesus guys, discussing things on the internet shouldn't be this hard.....

foggy wigeon
#

you clearly werent on average reddit thread mate

#

lmao

crude notch
#

Cringelords defending Paladins, it's all good.

austere sleet
#

wait this aint youtube comments?

crude notch
#

We all good in the hood

marble cipher
crude notch
#

Don't speak ill of the pallies leave that up to the Paladin writer.

ionic fern
#

Pallys suck.

austere sleet
#

agreed, boring af spec

ionic fern
#

Only thing i like about pallys is AS.

#

That ability is slick.

crude notch
#

You're slick.

ionic fern
#

I am.

austere sleet
#

divine toll bell noise is crisp, but the gameplay, rotation etc is just boring

foggy wigeon
#

ralllied behind Pally slander, im here for it lmao 😄

ionic fern
#

Playing with sounds..what is this.

#

Pallies are just poor mans Warriors.

crude notch
#

Yeah the Divine Toll sound is annoying to me. lol

austere sleet
#

how else am I gonna hear my bear growl?

crude notch
#

Nothing beats a crisp thunderclap

foggy wigeon
#

U mean the all 3 Bear Growl Sounds that are in the game ? 😄

ionic fern
#

HEI, bears are super fun.

#

I'm re-rolling to bear as we speak.

austere sleet
#

don't forget the new animations they added for us...that aren't even applied to all the correct spells

crude notch
ionic fern
#

Did they nerf bear dps?

foggy wigeon
#

Its theraputic , I play bear for a day and dont even wanna go outside anymore bedge

crude notch
#

The sims were making Thorns stronger than it is

austere sleet
#

no, ToI just not top DPS build for them once you get the new set

crude notch
#

There was a problem in SIMC

#

that kitch noticed

#

regarding THorns

ionic fern
#

I gotta go hit up the gdruid discord with a "Hello, i'm new to bear, can you please give me a solid, offensive guardian druid m+ build?"

crude notch
#

Speed run that "check pins"

cerulean tusk
#

Bear pumps on live though, esp on uncapped AoE. I am confused sadge

errant leaf
crude notch
#

It's still the best dps among tanks

austere sleet
#

ToI is still top until the new set pieces come in

crude notch
#

Correct

#

That doesn't make anything I said false though

#

🙂

ionic fern
#

I CHECKED THE PINS.

#

They have "Potential builds".

#

Idk what is good.

#

Do i want incarn?

#

No incarn?

#

What.

#

I just wanna go in.

#

And slap.

austere sleet
#

NoCarn chad

ionic fern
#

Why would i not take incarn?

#

Is it not a big offensive cd?

crude notch
#

because you miss Shadowlands too much

#

And you want UFR

#

or something cringe

austere sleet
#

it is, and you deal less damage (significantly less if you don't take it) but you're a bit tankier outside of incarn

crude notch
#

Bear finally gets their Anger Management and they advertise nocarn -_-

cerulean tusk
#

I don't take incarn on nah bear, i go Galactic trash bear

ionic fern
#

God damn dead discord.

#

Already 4m and no answers.

austere sleet
#

for sure, and then bind Ironfur to your mousewheel, pull tonnes of trash and spam that wheel while mashing thrash and mangle

shell mortar
#

Love it

pallid quiver
#

I want to see someone just got absolutely nuts on Mwahi for not checking pins there

#

even though he checked pins

#

it'd be hilarious

cerulean tusk
austere sleet
#

oh no all the warriors showing up in bear discord now

limpid anchor
#

Hello, can someone give me a solid offensive prot war build? The pins are too confusing

ionic fern

Try this build:

maybe we should link the one i made for u on brood keeper mwahi

limpid anchor
#

Okay thanks

ionic fern
#

It was legit horrid.

jagged pier
foggy wigeon
#

There are discord servers that arent toxic ?

austere sleet
#

as toxic as this place is, so far it's got nothing on the havoc discord from my experience

jagged pier
#

LUL

austere sleet
#

so now that we've argued over pointless topics and meme'd about how bad bear is, when do I get Stormforged?

jagged pier
crude notch
#

bear is best tank

#

|| in 11.0 ||

pallid quiver
#

The real key to getting Stormforged is to happen to enable an accident for a... potential problematic entity to the discord

austere sleet
#

bear will be the best, once we get that rework copium

ionic fern
#

Idk, i'm having a blast as a bear.
Screw you guys.

#

Going for those r1 parses cause no one plays bear.

#

Easy.

crude notch

What's a stomrforged

@jagged pier is a stormforged

#

bis sf there is

ionic fern

Ah, so a mod with extra steps

austere sleet

You'll be competing with all the bear one tricks, that play nothing but it

wheel decide has spoken DH is bis tank

ionic fern
austere sleet
#

and let me tell you, they've been working on their spam ironfur skills all season

ionic fern

IF ONLY I COULD COMPETE.

In all fairness DH tier set is absolutely mental

I wanna see what i'm playing.

jagged pier
#

well yes spreading brand to all targets is a bit broken yes

shell mortar
#

It is bonkers

austere sleet
#

DH set looks great, the lunchbox thing they're doing seems sooooo weird

shell mortar
#

Literally free 40% damage amp at all times

jagged pier
#

might actually lvl it now looks fun

shell mortar
#

It is

jagged pier
#

but cba putting in all the effort to gear

crude notch
#

If only this game was more alt friendly

#

😄

austere sleet
#

but...50% flightstone discount for alts

shell mortar
#

Graring's pretty free this patch. Got to 400 on my fresh BRM on like 4 hours

#

0 gold, just doing new zone

jagged pier
#

i stand with mwahi on this i have 9 418 craft things

#

i cant use on main

#

let me use them on alts

runic hatch
#

Btw, based on the stats you would want for Prot, what dps spec would you offspec?

shell mortar
#

Arms

jagged pier
#

prot dps

runic hatch
#

Prot dps was bonkers

austere sleet
#

whats it called in Classic? Gladiator Warr?

runic hatch
#

Was it back in Mop that it was better than most dps specs?

shell mortar
runic hatch
#

Prot pala was stupid in ToT for sure

marble cipher
#

That was because of the Vengeance mechanic iirc @runic hatch

#

didn't play a lot back then, but that was the thing that gave tanks extra damage based on the damage they took or something wasn't it

jagged pier
#

that was any tank in MoP u just had to play vengance and u were top dps and top healing on some tanks

marble cipher
#

yeah, seem to remember that it was a bit .... broken

pallid quiver
#

just stand in every mechanic

#

ez

runic hatch
#

Can't remember but it was prot with the gladiator stance, so non-tanking prot iirc

shell mortar
#

Imagine M+ with vengeance back in the game Target Sighted

marble cipher
#

yes please 😄

Blood dk looks broken with the new tier set

#

Sadly i am perma banned from dk subreddit so I cant discuss it with them

crude notch
#

Random Vamp Blood procs really isn't all that broken

cinder nova
split remnant
#

You think so? They are not random either right?

#

Doesnt it proc regularly and basically on command?

jagged pier
#

dont know its bdk we dont discuss that here

warm plinth
#

what's a bdk

cinder nova
#

Actual factual though, Jake - do we know if the shadowflame buckler is worth it?

jagged pier
#

the shield?

#

the craft?

cinder nova
#

Yeah.

jagged pier
#

its grabo

cinder nova
#

Proc isn't worth it?

jagged pier
#

no

crude notch
cinder nova
#

I never bothered simming it but it sims worse than my 421 assuming the same ilvl

jagged pier
#

as i said its garbo

cinder nova
#

I didn't think it was that bad, holy shit.

jagged pier
#

its only good for tmog

cinder nova
#

Imagine designing a proc that's a nerf

jagged pier
#

but crafting it is trolling

cinder nova
#

I wonder if they'll buff it.

jagged pier
#

doubt

cinder nova
#

So I can safely just dump my first spark on my UFFB without thinking?

jagged pier
#

well upgrading primal molten defender isnt a bad idea

cinder nova
#

I do have one of those... I worry it'll be a waste, though. Defender could get replaced with a lucky drop, UFFB wont be.

jagged pier
#

well not really u can get s 447 shield like week 1

cinder nova
#

can't*?

jagged pier
#

can

#

because crafted gear can be crafted to 447 i believe

#

u just need the crests

cinder nova
#

Don't you need Aspect crests?

jagged pier
#

u can get them next week

cinder nova
#

The only reason I'd think about doing shield early is to make raid prog and keys at the outset not so dastardly

#

But... doesn't it require I do those to GET the shield to that level anyway?

#

Feels like I'm putting the cart before the horse.

jagged pier
#

well kinda but a shield drop is mega rare

cinder nova
#

Does it just take one crest?

jagged pier
#

i dunno

#

i only know about warrior

#

i leave crafting to wowhead

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

i think its more

chilly brook
#

Well

jagged pier
#

i think its 3

chilly brook
#

No

#

Sorry

jagged pier
#

and u need ot get them enchanted

chilly brook
#

1 spark

#

Something like 4 crests for an enchanted crest to upgrade

#

You can check the exact amount needed from the crafting order kiosks

jagged pier
#

i mean i would also recommend just holding sparks for a while the price of things will drop

#

and u get a better picture of what u actually need

chilly brook
#

Speaking of, I need to figure out what to do to keep gearing this week

#

Only like 401

cinder nova
#

Mythic and M+ are your options.

jagged pier
#

farm rares and stuff

cinder nova
#

You could also do the events in Zaralek

#

They drop stuff that can get upgraded to 411 with flightstones

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

well i ment for flightstones and crests

chilly brook
#

Then again who knows maybe it’s worth it to use

jagged pier
#

yer but the weakest crests are easy to get

chilly brook
#

Got like 7 of both rn

sand drum
#

Griff o/ alll good 😄 ?

jagged pier
#

i have like 10 already

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

same

chilly brook
#

Taking an entire patch off and not coomsooming all info on this patch has me a bit behind the curve

jagged pier
#

i took a month off and did the same

chilly brook
#

10 is the cap this week ye?

jagged pier
#

u can get 10 of each crest a week

#

but the top 2 crests u cant actually get this week

#

and it works like valor

chilly brook
#

Yea I got that part

jagged pier
#

so if u get like 5 crests this week

#

u can get 15 next week

#

before reaching cap

chilly brook
#

So far being a fire breath boi is fun

#

I wish the new zone rares wouldn’t take 10 years to respawn

#

(Yes I know it’s a once a day kill for reward)

jagged pier
#

well next week it wont matter u just get them from m+

#

its only bad for this week

#

the only thing u should farm this week is 2k flightstones

chilly brook
#

Would just be nice to get some items that would be worth upgrading

split remnant
jagged pier
#

u can upgrade to 411

with nothing left to do

cinder nova
#

Oh, like an actual chest slot item, not a chest with loot in it.

chilly brook
#

Yes because I’m bad and took a season off and can actually benefit from it

cinder nova
#

Point and laugh

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

how?

chilly brook
#

Only things left for me to do is show up, do some dailies, maybe some events and farm rares

jagged pier
#

oh us less ppl so u probably have more rares u can get too

chilly brook
cinder nova
#

Mini events probably help, too.

jagged pier
#

yer i dont do them

#

take to long

chilly brook
#

Some of the normal side quest chains give rep tokens too

jagged pier
#

yer ive dont all of them

chilly brook

Random farmer one that was like 4 quests ended with a 1000 rep token

Yes its not normal to block someone because you assume I am trolling even tho I never do. (You cant know that but expecting the worst of people is a bad thing to do).

And yes its not normal to discuss strictly warrior or prot warrior. You can discuss topics related to tanking in general.

cinder nova

Preorder is for suckers.

Let a bunch of the sweaty jabronis weather the bugs and the first wave of bullshit

Swoop in after the dust settles for a seamless experience, or don't if it's obvious there's some critical bugs hobbling play.

runic hatch

Mostly did that for the early access tbf, but I'm a sucker for sure 🤡

Are you poor S.?

Quite the opposite.

crude notch

Too poor to pre-order

hard vine

hey people , any thoughts on wich item u will use ur spark ?

crude notch
#

You can also refund with pre-orders btw so your logic is flawed

cinder nova
#

Still a jebait. Preorder refund law varies by country, even still, you're still spending money now on the bet that you'll like the game then. It's not gonna get more expensive between the preorder to live product, and the only difference is that you're paying for a completed product instead of lapping at the sweaty toes of alpha and beta exclusivity.

runic hatch
cinder nova

Plus, it's more empowering as a consumer to hold your money.

we were looking pretty scarce on that side

Yo true

@white hamlet add "Best leveling tank" to the Why you should play Guardian Druid section, thanks.

Bear is only good to level because you top damage even naked

Bear already has the best looking mage tower reward.

Who gets excited about weaving anyway

ionic fern

I DO.

warm plinth
#

Weaving is 🤢

crude notch
#

Ghash, I knew you were my favorite for a reason

jagged pier
#

thats class expression

#

apprently druids dont like it

#

in SLs when the mage tower came out

#

ppl legit complained because they had to go into boomkin

crude notch
#

You didn't have to go into boomkin

ionic fern
#

What is wrong with bear players.

#

Wtf.

warm plinth
#

Eh, I didn't mind it in that particular scenario. But you didn't HAVE to do it in boomkin

#

It was just less annoying in boomkin

jagged pier
#

it was far easier

crude notch
#

and a lot of the big bear heads say they prefer weaving, so that's also a take.

warm plinth
#

yeah, weird take imo. If I'm a bear, I wanna be a bear

austere sleet
#

weaving too complicated for me, I just wanna press swipe and call it a day

cinder nova
#

Bearheads are actually just druidheads that like tanking, so their enjoyment of weaving comes from the fulfillment of the class fantasy.

crude notch
#

When the best part about playing bear to you isn't playing as a bear.

warm plinth
#

Though tbh, in SL I didn't mind boomie-voking in keys. But there's a difference between min/maxing shapeshifts and just going boomie for a few seconds every minute or two

It has it for resto too

But I yeeted it

austere sleet

it sounds really bad....because it is

cinder nova
#

Serious question, at what point do we swap spec into UF and Bolster, 2p or 4p.

austere sleet
#

but there's actually legit nothing better to spend that point on for damage

cinder nova
#

That good, huh?

ionic fern
#

15% + double during LS.

warm plinth
#

UF is only in raid though, to be clear.

ionic fern
#

#

UNless you're a gigachad like me and play it everywhere.

warm plinth
#

Although I wish we could pick a different abbreviation for it

#

Since UF is Unstoppable Force

austere sleet
#

Ursocs Fury?

cinder nova
#

idk UFocus

warm plinth
#

Someone called Spell Block 'splock' the other day and I think that's just perfect.

ionic fern

Wwait, you don't call it splock?

tfw new people to #protection realize half of it is just figuring out good lingo

It took a good month, month and a half to get people to call Brutal Vitality BrV instead of BV

austere sleet
#

....why not BV?

warm plinth
#

Booming Voice

austere sleet
#

oooh

cinder nova
#

The easiest way to compartmentalize abbreviations is creating a precedent through chronology, or at least current parlance and chronology.

crude notch
#

It's like SOTF and SOTF and BF and BF for Guardian

warm plinth
#

Soul of the Forest and Survival of the Fittest. And then Blood Frenzy and ? I don't think I know the other one

cinder nova
#

For example, BV is being left for Booming Voice since it's been around for a while holding that spot. BrV for Brutal Vitality since it came around pretty recently.

austere sleet
#

tbh, there's too many terms to learn in WoW. I had to have someone explain what cantrip means in brew discord earlier

warm plinth
#

Oh right

warm plinth
crude notch
#

It only gets used in the degenerate 130 apm Thorns build so

warm plinth
#

As an example, they use cantrip to refer to special effect items

crude notch
#

You're a special effect item

warm plinth
#

But they also have a racial that summons a fuckin mailbox called Cantrips

crude notch
#

Perfect

warm plinth

Very consistent usage

made like that on purpose

SO...to follow the logic that's been going around on how to maximise the first week...
You would need to do 13 11-15 dungeons and 7 16+ dungeons just for the crests alone.

Paladins are more about books and chains and hammers and like lions maybe
