Fair enuff

toxic pewter
#

Should just play what you find fun, no telling what the new season brings

mortal brook
#

I find being strong and doing big numbers is fun

crude notch
#

is that why you play bear?

lament shell
#

agree

sick sentinel
#

ive never really played bear personally

toxic pewter
#

Every tank is strong enough these days

#

Human error is more of an issue than the tank design themselves

topaz field
#

i mean having dark claws not fixed an entire season is also a human error

toxic pewter
#

?

#

Dark claw fine

topaz field
#

ye for prot warrirs

toxic pewter
#

Nah every tank is fine

topaz field
#

and some other tanks it might be fine

#

i didnt find it fine when i got oneshot on tyra with dampen up

toxic pewter
#

If you not performing well just have yourself to blame

#

Just like in life

topaz field
#

or just ask our bear tank

#

how much counterplay he had

toxic pewter
#

Nah, comes a time when every person and every tank has to take responsibility

topaz field
#

its fine they said an ability with 1 second cast time

toxic pewter
#

Gotta stop blaming reality

topaz field
#

we legit depleted 15-20 high tjs keys on dark claws

#

next time ill tell my team apb said

#

it was fine

jagged pier
#

ppl forgetting their S key is the biggest defensive in the game sadge

topaz field
#

i think theyll understand then that its there mistake

toxic pewter
#

Well yeah there are ways that every tank can deal with every situation

topaz field
#

oh yea press s on a trash pack where other lethal ability are proximity

toxic pewter
#

Quote me on that

topaz field
#

and will kill your friends

#

tjs was the worst experience of m+ i had so far

toxic gyro
toxic pewter
#

We are the leaders. At the end of the day if we are dead, we only have ourselves to blame

topaz field
#

it just seemed to me that blizzard simply could not fix tjs

toxic pewter
#

That goes for every tank

topaz field
#

because its too old

toxic gyro
#

Only gaze couldn’t be avoided besides ccs

topaz field
#

same for sbbg

#

my fist of fury sill cannot hit bonemaw

#

unless im in his asshole

#

but its fine apd said

#

meanwhile they are able to fix the new dungeons

toxic pewter
#

Yeah I’m too old and tired to blame external factors for my poor gameplay

#

I invite you to join me in this mindset

topaz field
#

best thing is they had a bluepost

#

we fixed bonemaws hitbox

#

but ye they only fixed it for the first 20 seconds of the encounter

#

as soon as the boss dove once its bugged again

strong forum
#

his hitbox before first burrow was always fixed

strong forum
#

the fix they applied was that they moved the hitbox after first burrow a bit closer

#

but not close enough

uneven mason
#

battering ram

strong forum
#

which is even worse

#

they touched upon the correct thing, just not nearly enough

#

but then called it fixed

topaz field
#

and people still got ran over by his ass

topaz field
#

in may*

crude notch
#

Bartusz morning that rough aye?

topaz field
#

nah its fine xD

#

its just that im sad

#

because i enjoy m+ very much

#

and often times its bad from start to finish of a season

#

which is disappoiting

#

i should rather go swimming then instead xD

crude notch
#

awk

topaz field
#

and i was always a big doubter of reintroducing old dungeons

crude notch
#

yes it's highly advised that if you don't enjoy something that's designed for entertainment to well, not consume it.

topaz field
#

and so far i feel confirmed

#

all old dungeons were trash

crude notch
#

however, apb was right, if you somehow think no one kited that pack in TJS you're just wrong

topaz field
#

bro

toxic pewter
#

? I have some fun times in the old dungeons

#

I’m excited to see a cata dungeon return

#

I think it’s cool

HoV post changes is a fuckin' banger.

topaz field
#

where u have to kill shit as well

#

or you are out of time

#

or people die to aggro

#

if your tank is at the entrance already

crude notch
#

sounding like a skill issue

ye looks like

Pink man stinks 📉

daring marlin

New tier is generally worse for them too. KEKW REROLLERS

they both still feel gr8

you need two pallies anyways so.

#

for raid*

hushed bluff
#

is protection war good for new season mythic plus?

crude notch
#

yes

toxic pewter
#

Hell yeah we are

hushed bluff
#

A?

toxic pewter

Lol

crude notch

lol

sick sentinel
#

one thing i wont be missing in s2 is void slap

#

fort raging voidslap still sucks

daring marlin
#

just walk away yogi

#

my man

#

get a lil slow on them bad boys and walk away!

crude notch
#

people are so stubborn about kiting i swear

uneven mason
#

it's not even kiting, it's just, back up

crude notch
#

ye

stone pike
#

Did another AV 20. I think that first healer was just bad. Second time around was much smoother.

uneven mason
#

"Oh void fistfuck inc, gonna not be part of that"

#

same with Dark Claw

#

"it's got a 8 yard range"

#

just - back - up

sick sentinel
#

fort freehold and undersuck will take some pugs by surprise, trust me

#

source, ksm bfa

stone pike
#

My problem was I never even realized you could back up from certain mechanics. They're not exactly telegraphed as being dodgable.

#

Mortal hew/dark claw to name a couple

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

like, in freehold, the section across the final bridge

uneven mason
#

It took me playing a bear

#

to realize that Dark Claw was a short range cast

sick sentinel
#

all of that trash, has the capacity to go very wrong

uneven mason
#

Because bears can melee at like 11 range

sick sentinel
#

all 4 packs

#

cuz theres 3 or 4 horse dudes, and a bunch of those water circle guys

uneven mason
#

The hardest mechanic in freehold is going to be dealing with Rout lords

sick sentinel
#

the pull before final boss is always gross on fort, regardless

uneven mason
#

"WTF ARE YO UDOING PULL THE 7 PACKS UP TOP SO WE CA NSKIP THE OENS BY BOSS 2"

crude notch
#

Well

uneven mason
crude notch
#

The first shocker is when people go to pull harlan

uneven mason
#

Did they finally link the trash near him?

sick sentinel
daring marlin
#

Nokhud lightning boss area was one I didn't realize at first

#

arcing slash

#

took like two runs

#

"WHY DO THESE IDIOTS HIT SO HARD"

uneven mason
#

Because you're standing in a non telegraphed AE

crude notch
uneven mason
#

Oh ok that honestly makes the pathing much easier

#

Because theres a lot more mobs you can skip earlier since routlords won't be crying about doing that pull

sick sentinel
#

put people on block who use an actual interrupt on "painful motivation" after being told not to

#

shit does like literal 30-60% of their HP

crude notch
#

not anymore.

uneven mason
#

like legit doesn't do that anymore

sick sentinel
#

oh damn, they really did change this stuff quite a bit then

uneven mason
#

yes

topaz field
#

i dont think they removed it

#

just nerfed the painful by 50 %

uneven mason
#

they removed the damage

crude notch
#

it's still there

topaz field
#

which makes it still best trash in the dungeon

uneven mason
#

all of it?

sick sentinel
#

ah, i figured blizzard was gunna be really lazy about it and do a a 1 for 1

crude notch
#

it just does nothing

sick sentinel
#

real talk no kap

uneven mason
crude notch
uneven mason
#

they're actually making "Fun game" and not "Neckbeard sweaty" game

stone pike
sick sentinel
#

see now, i actually quit in panda

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

so, i don't know what they changed but i know that they did

crude notch
#

could you imagine if mise mari stayed old version in M+.

#

lmao

sick sentinel
#

and i dont have a reference point like i do with VP and bfa dungeons

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

like, i understand how old VP works pretty well for the most part

#

ran it as melee, and as tank and probably as healer, actually was doing all my characters at that point

#

im still scared of wiping to some bullshit in VP, but i know how it works from multiple angles and i still like it regardless

crude notch
#

i'm apologizing in advance yogi

sick sentinel
#

but for instance legion dungeons

#

zero fucking clue, at all.

#

unless i ran it in TW, saw it on a stream/yt

topaz field
#

u couldnt place an earth elemental in that dungeon or everyone got slapped

#

you tell the tanks to kite but then i get a rising sun kick from sha touched guardians everytime the tank is more than 10 y away

#

im using flying serpant kick near the stairs and die to aggro because the enemies behind the door are programmed in a wrong way and i ninja through the door

#

and u try to convince me they are giving their best?

uneven mason
#

Was that not supposed to make sense

sick sentinel
#

bartusz yogi postin

uneven mason
#

Seriously

sick sentinel
#

im also slightly confused

uneven mason
#

Natural state

crude notch
#

LMAO

#

yo

#

you know it's bad

#

when Yogi says you're Yogi postin

sick sentinel
#

i have no idea what ur talking about earth elemental thingy

#

but im not a shaman, shaman makes the least sense of any class to me

#

oh wait, monk is almost as dumb to me, i played it in shadowlands leveling and had a very fun time as brew

strong forum
sick sentinel
#

hes my monk

#

im not sure if there are "lamp oil" and "ropes" and "bombs" transmogs, so i settled for "rubies"

#

When are we able to create the new tier sets?

proper roost
#

Catalyst isn't until 6 weeks in

crude notch
#

June 13th.

proper roost
#

just pug heroic tbh!

sick sentinel
#

all day service today i think i heard someone say right

#

i was hearing 6 hours, looks like 4

proper roost
#

very opposite of what you said

just look at the bnet launcher

toxic pewter
#

Yah ends at 11 am pst now. Was originally estimated 1 pm pst

sick sentinel
#

i just swore i heard someone saying it was 6 hours and if its gunna be 6 hours fuck it peace till 6 pm or so lol

#

ill go oustside touch grass head to store or somethin

olive bay
#

Is there a tanking WA for Aberrus yet? For taunt swaps?

uneven mason
#

Did you check wago

olive bay
#

I didn't - I figured I'd ask here to see if there was one that most people were using first, in case there was a more "standard" version

urban bane
#

There is

#

Causese usually links this from their general Aberrus WA package for the record

astral crystal
#

those co-tank auras are good usually

urban bane
#

Yeah I feel like causese doesn’t lead you wrong but your mileage may vary 🤷🏻‍♂️

modern brook
#

i ended up not using it, i joined some guild re-prog group for their b team and spent 8 hours reprogging her

uneven mason
#

WA is great let's me trim so much from bossmods

jagged pier
#

i mean is it hard to look ate your co tanks frame

#

and just taunt

#

that way?

astral crystal
olive bay
undone verge
#

At least I got it tho

modern brook
#

8^) literally never punished

jagged pier
#

i mean thats literally your focus as a tank

astral crystal
#

i put the co-tank aura on top of the target frame, just saves some visual real estate

jagged pier
#

like every teir im told i need x or y WA packs

astral crystal
#

and keeps things tidy

jagged pier
#

and i never have them

olive bay
#

Sure, but if I can make it easier, why wouldn't I want to do that?

jagged pier
#

its no easier no harder

#

just more clutter

modern brook
undone verge
#

I usually end up spending long enough on a fight while the dps figure it out that it becomes muscle memory when to taunt

jagged pier
#

that pretty much how I do every fight

#

like using rally etc

olive bay
#

My guild's tanks tend to die... a lot. And not because of the healers

jagged pier
#

then thats them being bad

olive bay
#

I agree

#

We all know it

#

That's why I'm probably swapping Warrior this tier - rogue is looking shaky and I love playin Fury. I'll tank keys and probably wind up taking over as a raid tank in a few weeks

undone verge
#

The guild that I linked last night during race to world last had a .7% wipe before they called raid because the bdk let the tank buster go off

#

As well both tanks were doing sub 40k

#

They had 2 other 1-3% wipes that were kills but the prot warrior let the tank mechanic go off

jagged pier
#

.7% before rest sadge

uneven mason
#

Be the backup and then show the guild how bad their primary tank is

olive bay
#

The issue is, they know

#

There's been a tank swap already (there was two last tier)

#

And the guy who's taking it isn't the most reliable

#

So I'll more than likely swap in without much of an issue and he'll move back to WW

undone verge
jagged pier
#

monka

final mist
#

Jesus

undone verge
#

Then they had like almost 500 pulls on rasz without seeing p2.5 and disbanded this tier b4 getting CE

daring marlin

oh

I could go to the cinema again while wow is down

500pulls

you didn't understand the question

I mean not taking away, the fact that they got to mythic raz is fucking baller

#

Oh

#

That many hi

#

What

jagged pier
#

the days a week to not even get CE

#

yer nah

uneven mason
#

I take it back 9 hours a week

jagged pier
#

must have been on that boss

#

for like 2 months

uneven mason

That's some choke a donkey level of flipperhand

that's nightmare fuel tbh

don't you guys do that in this discord already

undone verge

This was both teams combined, we had something like 207 wipes before we killed it

daring marlin
final mist
#

It's nice to see that as much h as things change, they also stay the same

uneven mason
jagged pier
#

no comment

proper roost
#

what would the mental for that kind of raid be like

they are at the verge of giving up and disbanding constantly, but every month there's a new raz nerf that makes them want to continue

#

Gotta respect it

undone verge
#

They killed diurna Feb 22nd, and disbanded early April/late March

#

Their best pull was a p2 wipe at third shield after 380 some wipes

proper roost
#

They got 500 pulls in over 2 months? Wtf

#

Oh

#

All of them are p1 wipes...

#

holy despairge...

undone verge
#

Then the rasz nerf came out and they raided for one day without seeing p1.5

edgy venture
#

is there are an up to date spell reflect tracker?

proper roost
#

Honey log on for your 3 day a week wipe to the very first set of sparks greenbear

urban bane
#

do we have a % damage loss for fix to battering ram?

jagged pier
#

8-11%

urban bane
#

🫠

thorny stone
toxic pewter
#

Dang that bug fix costing us 10% of our overall dps?

sage ice
#

holy shit for real???

toxic pewter
#

That’s more than I was expecting

sage ice
#

what was the bug?

daring marlin
#

sick

#

the 20% crit damage was applying to all physical damage

undone verge
#

Is this s2 or from s1 too?

daring marlin
#

all of S1 it was happening

sage ice
#

oh wow

undone verge
toxic pewter
#

Ngl feels bad to start off new season feeling weaker but fixing the bug was the right thing to do obviously

daring marlin
#

nome broke the news the other day

urban bane
#

yeah right thing to do. but yeah it doesnt feel great Big Sadga

modern brook
#

did they fix it with no compensation?

undone verge
#

Just leave the bug in, we’re still only like the third best tank in terms of dps with the bug

toxic pewter
#

Apparently no compensation

sage ice
#

for early S2 progression I might be dropping battering ram for disrupting shout

jagged pier
#

no

daring marlin
jagged pier
#

u drop SoF

sage ice
#

I feel like the need for "oh shit aoe interrupt" is gonna be important in early pugs

jagged pier
#

if u want to take disrupting shout

undone verge
daring marlin
#

When the raid is on farm, sure.

#

I'll be honest

#

I always forget about monk

#

so monk and bear

#

my bad

sage ice
#

i'll be honest, the pull to roll a prot pally is strong.

daring marlin
#

It's fun but prot warrior is still fun

thorny stone
#

I'll never reroll from pwarrior, and if pwarrior gets deleted as a spec I'll drop the game.

undone verge
#

Prot still the best tank in terms of design imo

sage ice
#

i love my prot warrior but it's a real drag to have no utility for several new affixes this season

undone verge
#

It’s not a straight dps rotation for dps sake the BM, and it’s not a rotation where you have to sacrifice dps for survivability like bdk

#

You just do the right rotation and you take less dmg and do more dmg

sage ice
#

can't wait to get the new tier set. Seems like a much better overall benefit than S1 tier

#

4 piece plus bolster 👌

misty moss
#

I’m really looking forward to the tier set

daring marlin
#

S1 tier is snoozeville

toxic pewter
#

Yah the new set gonna be hella fun

#

Really happy they buffed it so much

#

The original set was so weak

sage ice
#

yeah T29 is pretty meh

#

gave SoF a nice synergy but overall eh

misty moss
#

Also excited about new dungeon rotation and even Think it’s smart they gave a reason to actually prog Mythic Raid now

jagged pier
#

not sure how it gave SoF synergy but ok

misty moss
#

Get 441 through M+ or 450 from Mythic Raid - seems fair

sage ice
jagged pier
#

i mean its like 1% even that actual damage increase

#

ppl overvalue it like crazy

#

we take it because in general its better than TLs and shout

#

and u want vigor because thats like 5% damage

#

well and ITF or HR as well

#

like if u need shout u drop SoF or instigate depending if your doing a dungeon or a boss

#

then even on a boss u swap to SD over SoF

strong forum
sage ice
#

yeah I'm not saying T29 tier bonus was great

#

very much looking forward to the new set

strong forum
#

itll be more interesting

#

but we'll also be a tad weaker defensively

jagged pier
#

all skill expression gone from it sadge

#

cant cancel

sage ice
#

is there any expectation that dropping Tough as Nails for Bolster is going to meaningfully impact threat generation/holding threat?

strong forum
#

hell no

#

we never picked TaN for the threat

jagged pier
#

wont matter at all

strong forum
#

its just free 3% dmg

jagged pier
#

it was picked just cause dmg

sage ice
#

👍

#

wasn't sure how much passive threat that was helping with

strong forum
#

what irks me the most is just the unavailability of spellblock

sage ice
#

i'm still pretty new to the spec

strong forum
#

as explained in pins

daring marlin
#

:)

strong forum
#

you gotta drop a serious other talent to get spellblock

Threat generally isn't an issue for Warrior so long as you're hitting buttons

strong forum
#

rather drop bloodsurge

jagged pier
#

but nah probably something else like bloodsurge

strong forum
#

tbh

sage ice
#

yeah spellblock being much less of a sacrifice would be great

strong forum
#

BR is still a solid talent

#

like, all sims ive done regarding talent choices in s1

#

were done before the bug was implemented in simc

jagged pier
#

fuck drop devstator and not press devastate (joking btw)

strong forum
#

wish i could drop challenging shout

jagged pier
#

same

ionic fern
#

What about..drop ..

#

IP

final mist
final mist
sage ice
#

I wish challenging shot was just baseline closer to interrupting shout. perhaps a shorter spell prevention or small AOE or something

daring marlin
#

IP died after legion chatting

#

A SHELL OF ITS FORMER SELF

jagged pier
#

feel like these lines fix alot

final mist
#

I still maintain that prot should have a passive that allows us to use a 2H and a shield to make spec swapping easier / give prot something cool

#

"But sal what about smf" yeah what about it

daring marlin
#

fuck 1h weapons

#

Warrior should be the 2H class.

sage ice
#

Bloodsurge definitely seems droppable...does either details or logs show how much rage is actually generated by rend via bloodsurge?

daring marlin
#

period

Just make us able to transmog 1hs over 2hs, easy

oh fucking duh

rend and deep wounds, deep wounds has more uptime because its not just being applied by 5 at a time

if they didnt make rend so strong in the first place

strong forum
#

on average

edgy venture
#

guys remember gladiator stance clueless

strong forum
#

bloodsurge makes up about 7% of your rage gen in m+

strong forum
#

i generated 14k rage in this CoS

final mist
#

Glad Stance was my shit

strong forum
#

1k was from bloodsurge

#

technically speaking, if you rarely need/press SW

edgy venture
strong forum
#

imp wall is on average less rage/sec than bloodsurge

#

barely less

#

but imp wall is way more rage on low target count/bosses

jagged pier
#

yer u dont take my 60sec SW

final mist
#

^

strong forum
#

im just explaining for people

#

actually no

#

in this run

#

imp wall was more rage than bloodsurge

jagged pier
strong forum
#

lemme check AA

final mist
#

Which dungeon was that

strong forum
#

CoS

final mist
#

Target count certainly would affect it depending on pull

#

Hmm

strong forum
#

yeah in AA

#

bloodsurge is twice as much rage in comparison

final mist
#

Generally id say bloodsurgebis higher but

#

Yeah

#

The lower SW CD way more impactful than just the rage

#

Bloodsurge drop is the way IMO

strong forum
#

alternatively

#

punish

#

if the bosses are noodles

sage ice
#

Punish not droppable with new tier though, no?

#

well...ideally not dropped i suppose

strong forum
#

why would that be

#

well ideally youd not drop punish

sage ice
#

to maximize the shield slam AOE dmg

strong forum
#

that has no correlation

#

the aoe dmg isnt based off of shieldslam damage

sage ice
#

they don't stack?

strong forum
#

its flat AP

misty moss
sage ice
#

ahh

strong forum
#

otherwise an outburst SS would be even better

#

i kinda with outburst would interact with the CDR however

jagged pier
#

i dont think u would drop it on bosses Nome 10% SS damage along with the tier set increase as well

strong forum
#

in a mega pull dungeon

#

like FH where theres 0 tank dmg

jagged pier
#

well then maybe

undone verge
#

Drop indomitable fr, it’s a crutch

strong forum
#

id rather have 12% extra rage gen

#

than 3% boss dmg

mental scarab
#

More rage more devaste peepologs smack smack

sage ice
#

the 2 set bonus stacks w/ punish or are they not multiplicative?

strong forum
#

additive

#

not multiplicative

#

unless you mean the defensive part

jagged pier
#

multiplicative would be dumb

sage ice
#

ah ok. still learning the ins and outs of the calculations as you can tell

strong forum
#

the %DR is multiplicative

#

the %dmg gain is additive from baseline dmg

sage ice
#

got it

strong forum
#

there are so many multipliers with SS that i cant keep track of it tbf

#

which does how much where

#

we have SB, crushing force, punish, outburst, avatar, BV

#

onehand spec

#

brace for impact

#

all those already affect SS dmg

#

actually think it might be multiplicative

#

checking peepostudy

cuz outburst

I know this isnt strictly prot war related, but where do y'all think blacksmithers are going to find shadowflame forge? Campaign locked currently in Zaralek? Somewhere in a dungeon or raid?

toxic pewter
#

do you guys expect to loot as prot in m+ for the start at least

#

yes right, to try and get shield

#

and stuff

jagged pier
#

pogstorm

#

your most likely to get it from prot spec in that dungeon i believe

misty moss

That’s the plan

toxic pewter

wtf is pogstorm

oh that weapon

Sword

its a mace

but okay

isnt that tank trinket from brackenhide decent? splinter

All totem

Nah that ain't a tank trinket

I’m going to spark shield to 447, shadowflame patch it asap. Next Spark going to Torc of Passing Time to 447. Next Spark will be Frostfire to 447. Final spark will be head to 447 or boots to 447 with patch relocated.

#

Anyone else going the same route?

jagged pier
#

nome changed the neck to a new one

misty moss
#

Oooooh

jagged pier
#

and as of right now we will run double shadowflame patch

#

so u would craft a belt with better stats and shadowflame not frostfire

misty moss
#

No frostfire? Interesting

jagged pier

albeit its 200 dps increase

#

so not much

I’m so sold

You got new

@jagged pier can you send me the name of the neck

jagged pier
#

since sense did the sheet

unkempt rover
#

looks like shadow spike still does though

jagged pier
#

thing is only defend is still huge if that does stacking damage or something reflecting it can sitll be good

toxic pewter
#

gonna try and get forgestorm

misty moss
#

Ok so. Spark shield 447 and patch it. Then make Torc of Passing time unless I get heroic version of raid neck (which will save 2 weeks on waiting time) immediately craft belt + patch. Then hope vault or mythic drops neck.

shit always changes from PTR -> live so will update as is found

Just can’t do qued content cross faction right?

Still can’t trade?

Still can’t use craft orders cross faction either?

No queued content. No world quests, if that matters

yeah my horde dom server i had to find contacts of ppl to make my shit

Pwarrior dps is directly related to survivability. The more dps we do, the more tanky we are cause we’re doing our rotation properly

Aside from dstance bstance arguments, but that irrelevant cause the better you play the less you’ll need dstance
