Thats fine until u get new 4 piece 🤷
ok ty
Do y’all have a general rule of thumb for how you manage ignore pain uptime? Are you always trying to keep shield block & IP up together? Do you rotate? Totally situational?
Getting into harder content with my prot warrior for the first time (I’m still very new to tanking and the class) and I’m finding managing rage to be fairly challenging, and wonder if I’m popping revenge and IP too often
Hi do you think trinket poly of VP it’s good for prot ?
The heart
Heart of thunder
I doubt its good
For you the bis are ?
We dont pay attention to IP uptime its irrelevent is you are playing correctly you will be overcapping IP usually as its used as a rage dump and you use it often enough to do that
The ones in the pins
I think trinket of Neltharion, the absorb and other i dont know
Guys with rashok 3 tank busters do I need to taunt after the 2nd or during the 2nd to get the third on me?
I’m a little confused about those casts
During the second for taking the third
Hey guys, is there a weakaura to tell me when to press spell block ?
or an addon
or whatever
If you'd taunt during a cast, to get the following cast. Then you'd never be able to mitigate two of the same casts if they're the first two though?
Haven't tanked the boss, but I'm thinking it'll be 'taunt during the cast you wanna have on you'.
But. Maybe it's better for someone that has actually tanked it to give the info 
You taunt during - Rashok immediately changes aggro unlike most other bosses with taunt swaps. So if the first ability hits the other tank and the second is the same ability, you taunt immediately during the 2nd cast. If the 2nd is different, then let it go off and taunt immediately during 3rd
Confirms what I was expecting it to be then, thanks 👌
Just because you didn't like the answer given to you doesn't mean it was wrong.
You learn the threatening magic damage in dungeons and press it for those.
first boss bracken hide
when tricktotem is dead do the other bosses get buffed
i just took a 700k intercept
Hey guys,
I've got Well fed on my shield from last season. I'm reading that we want shadowflame patches. Am I losing much by not going SFP on my shield?
Just put Shadowflame patch somewhere else
thats not the case
i asked again because new people might know
no need to be an asshole
that big green circle in bhh does a ton of dmg
ran it on a 5 last night and only scary part at allwas going up hill to second boss after first boss, 2 died to ??? after final boss when we did %
After running the key about 16 times!
I finally got it
Please don't tell me it's not good anymore xd
im so glad that blizzard isnt evil enough to put fort and raging weeks together
++
sounds like fun right guys, just start getting 1 shot by ranodm trash mobs that are enraged
well, the one from 17+ is better due to one more upgrade possible, and 447 from vault will be even better, but gz 
raging doesnt increase mobs dmg anymore
what dpes it do now instead
cc immunity
Oh 100%, but I am not good enough for +17 keys or higher yet
Only 421
And new to prot warrior
im so glad thats changed after we shifted out of the deathbolt dungeon sbg
would be hell to run sbg with cant be stunned dearhbolters
You can still kick
thats why i was saying bhh final boss circle should move faster unpredictable
i didnt realize how much damage it did
this cast is interruptable
so no issue there
now, its just annoying emcahnic if the totem spawn in the greeen GG get fucked
at the final boss there is a solo patrol that comes fairly close to the boss area, are we suppoed to pull him before boss ? bhh again
totem spawn far away from boss, you can position boss so totem spawns right where the aoe is, so it goes away when it spawns
Hi, is it worth to craft shield in 447 the first week and if yes wich stat is the best on this item ?
yes, haste+crit/vers
yes you should pull him
Yall got any tips on beating mage tower? the add management is kind of obnoxious
there's a trick to it, tank the boss on the edge of the circle but always keeping him out of it, the totem always spawns opposite of where the boss is, so it'll never spawn in the circle
anyone done Sark heroic? any tips?
should I immediately change my gear when I get like legs or helmet
or keep the set untill i can replace it fully
dropped legs which are an ilvl upgrade but would destroy my set bonus so dunno
yes ty I know about the new set but I have not obtained it yet
pins cover your question
run spell block, prosper.
it's almost like you didn't read the link title
Do I enchant with shadowflame wreathe or frozen devotion?
Sim, but most likely Shadowflame. Although personally I'd go frozen until I'm sitting on like a 447.
Because of price?
Yeah I'm frugal.
aLRIGHT
Shadowflame doesn’t even sim for me 
hey guys which rings should i get for m+
how do i upgrade my Primal Molten Defender from 424 ?
crests
and submitting a reforge order
4 wyrm or 4 aspect crests to an enchanter first, then reforge the item with it
Hey all, had a question which i am very confused about
i have new normal 2pc - 418 i lvl, and i have 4pc from previous raid at ilvl around 400; is it worth dropping 4pc bonus for the 2pc
just put up a public order
it wont let me
well it should, youre doing something wrong
''start recrafting prder'' right ?
no i have craftewd the crest, i need to recraft the shield with the crest
ok
did you swap the spark?
you cant upgrade with the crests unless you swapped the sparks to the shadowflame one
so i need a new spark ?
how is that obviously
ok what did you think the new sparks were for?
crafting items
you can only upgrade 424 items, if your item is not 424 you havent swapped sparks
my item is 424
is it?
yup
im having trouble going along with this
did you use a spark of shadowflame for it or not?
which you could have said "i already swapped it" when i asked about it
i never swapped anything i crafted the shield brand new yesterday xD
oh youre trying to make a recraft public order lol
yess
ok then 😆
my message about public orders was for enchanted crests not for a recraft on whatever item
fair enough
wich of those 3 shields should i craft ?
primal molten
Who can link a good S2 spell reflect reminder weakaura when you are targeted?
How do you get the new spark?
im not sure
you should have gotten one doing the story of the caverns
and completing the reputation quest in loamm
i like that you can upgrade, anything, but there is a bunch of currencies tied to it again
then you get this week's half by doing the rep quest once again
unsure if you can catch up if you missed last week's rep quest
i have another half, i should be caught up
once i craft the base s2 shield, i have to gather the s2 infusions from dungeons, like s1
crests
i think? thats how it works
right, so, i need, i think its tier 3 pieces to go beyond 424 then
you need 4 wyrms and/or 4 aspects and you need to send them to an enchanter to craft an enchanted crest
i have like, 8 and then i had 2 or 3 of second one
god damn the paladin discord sucks
Are sparks are called crests now? I have a lot of those but haven't looked into crafting anything yet
Thanks
right, i put that in my s1 421 shield to make it 424
whelplings wont work yogi
they need to be wyrm or aspect
thats my pally whos an enchanter
yeh im saying i think its the 3rd in that series to get past 424
To go past 424 you need wyrm (11-15M+) or aspect(16+)
correct
i think they are essentially in this order: lfr, normal, heroic, mythic
you need 3 wyrms for 1 enchanted wyrm or 4 aspects for an enchanted aspect
which enchanters can make
Yeah at first i was pretty confused but after playing the past week it’s a lot simpler and a good system imo
one of those is what you need for a recraft to up the ilvl
geez okay, well, i upgraded some gloves cuz on s1 set the gloves are "bad stats"
🤷 you do you
not sure if anyone knows, but warr is my alt so prob just gonna do a 10ish on him this week, if vault gives a 431 it’s on hero track and should be upgradeable to 441, or is vault stuff non upgradeable? i assume you can upgrade but haven’t seen
unsure
Everything is upgradeable
i did a ring too, i stand by that new crafting with the crests is a bit duanting
Pretty much everything is upgradable
Except pvp
logic dictates it should be maxed from vault
but we havent seen s2 vault yet so
anything goes
The only things that aren’t are when something drops fully maxed
Yeah i figured just wasn’t sure for vault, that’s nice for alts then
i just don't feel like buying wow token for the boa stuff atm
eventually sure, just i don't feel like doin it
I mean 5/5 whelpling crafted is 408
5/5 wyrm crafted is 437
5/5 aspect crafted is 447
Last 2 require new spark
That s it
Also, do you guys open vault in prot or fury? Used to playing veng/bear/brew where you always open in dps spec since most tank trinkets are trash but getting 2h in vault sounds not fun but same goes for tank trinkets
If you need a shield open as prot. If you are fine with getting a 1h or 2h open as fury. If you only want 2h open as arms.
Hey guys, just dropped a shield from a dg. It goes up to 337 i belive. Crafting a new one still the way to go right?
Prio stats are still haste/vers correct?
I mean I got a weapon I upgraded to 441 so I will probably use my "free" 437 crest for killing Sark on a shield if I don't get one in my vault
is it relatively expensive for wyrm and aspects to be enchanted?
like maybe 10k now
4 epics, 15 blues and a bunch of greens
depends how heavily flooded the market is with enchanters RN i guess
which is basically just doing the dragonriding world quests on a few alts, each week
cuz, i know that craft 100 green/blue bracers > de them was a method for getting mats
probably some easy to craft purple that can be DE'd or they just run a bunch of m0/WQ
you can get the purple mat from DEing blues often enough when spec'd into it as well
plus this is season 2, people have been collecting mats for months
i got a ton of profession points now, 325bs 263eng i did the math
Max crafted was 447 or 441?
i keep hearing 447 for some reason, i think that 441 is mythic raid drops, but then again, i'm pepega
you guys gonna open vault in arms spec on tuesday
447 is max crafted, 441 is max upgrade on dropped gear with crests
and mythic raid gear drops 441+ but can’t be upgraded
Yea I was sure its 447 crafted too
Hey guys, which bis list are we following?
Should we?
Not really a bis list anymore but faq has some recommendations on slots @quick spruce
I'd open in prot if you need a Forgestorm
But if you have one then probably amrs
or fury i guess if you want to try for dps trinkets and don't need a shield. still get 1 handers
Yeh I’m using crafted shield and crafted 1h for 447, really only need dps trinkets if we aren’t going for tank trinkets
as fury for the forgestorm chance
Does the shadowflame armor patch proc the seal ring?
i have 441 forgestorm, u think i should open fury for chance at higher one
depends if you would rather fish for htat or risk getting a worse 1 hander
Yes
I haven't either
basically only want lair trinket
Follow up dumb question. Double shadowflame is simming higher but with the mythic seal is the belt a better embellishment upgrade? Dunno if I trust the Sims or not
Yes its sims highrr and still proca the ring just around 10% less
Double patch is best right now and u get correct stats on belt along with it
which is the best shiedl to create?
Primal molten defender
ty
anyone tried the enduring dreadplate in keys yet?
31% haste too much or I'm fine? I can switch around some gear to drop it in favor of other stats, get haste to like 28-29%
7100 haste is when you have close to too much
40%
30% is 5400 btw
hi guys, for this patch what is stats heigts for prot warrior? and, is confiable wowhead and icyveins for bis equip?
Hey everyone
Is it worth to wear leech neck without haste over the regular neck with haste but no leech?
im being super lazy about my tenders thing
first 2 months i got that stuff in like, 1 hour
sim it
could be worth depending on if it's crit/vers or if you had a boatload of haste on your other gear
I mean im not trying to figure out whats more damage, thats a sim angle, sure
Im trying to figure out if its worth it even if its less damage to go with leech
Can buy rank 2. I bought mine for 80k at patchday 😂
you should never drop ilvl for leech, or because it has haste and the other one doesn't, but necks and rings is tricky with that rule
cuz, u don't get str
at sarkareth hc. i can spellblock the tank debuff and dot?
Was not asking about ilvl
the difference if its same ilvl and just slightly different stat sets and "worse" one has leech, you'd have to sim and its gunna be a less than ~1% dps i'm guessing
tertiary stats are fairly meaningless when it comes to choosing gear, you never decide a gear option on that, only secondary stats, ilvl, special procs or uses, that stuff, if it has a tert. stat, then nice, if it doesnt, wont matter
To my knowledge, yes. I remember seeing a blue post hotfix with that in it.
ok ty
Hence me telling you to sim it. Secondaries don't matter that much for survivability and tertiaries are simply an added bonus.
If you wanna wear the leech piece go for it
the only "extra" that would change your mind is a socket on a lower ilevel
Hey, I hope this is the right place to ask: What am I supposed to do with the dragons in HoI after the frog boss? I have watched some videos and most tanks seem to just "ignore" it, but when I try to do that in a +15 with ilvl ~420, it almost kills me lol. When I try to dodge it (by running half a circle around it), it follows me but I don't get as much damage - is that the way to go? If there are melees in the group, would I kill them by doing so? Or do I have to use all my CDs on the three dragons there? I don't even want to imagine the damage they do next week 😄
tert literally means thirdly.. like as in primary... first secondary next, tert
just use a cd on breath if you need, third boss doesn’t do anything to tank so no reason to hold if you have. Face breath away from group, can be a bit tricky with melee sometimes if you have to sidestep or move from the stun aoe but should be fine
i know what tertiary means, we have never decided gear based on tert. stats, they mean so little that its pointless to min/max that little of a change that it literally wont matter
You should be actively using your CDs on stuff like that.
Shield Wall is effectively a 1min cd
looking at trying titanic throw again in M+, what do y'all think is the least impactful talent to drop on that side
Alright, thanks... But dodging parts of the breath is impossible? I think I get less damage while running around the dragon but cant say for certain 😂
if you're talking about the Glacial Proto Dragon, Oceanic Breath
it tracks on the tank
so moving around just makes it more likely to hit other people
Inflicts 55406 Frost damage to all targets within 15 yards in front of the caster every 1 sec for 3 sec. In the NPC Abilities category. A spell.
there seems to be inconsistent advice on this tho. maybe it's different from M0 to M+, because at some point you could sidestep it?
is it just me or is Kazzara taunt swap completely yolo on mythic?
My co tank gets debuff -> I taunt while boss in his spellqueue deluxe -> next tank smash goes on the co tank anyways.
It's like it's immune to taunt during anguish-spellqueueing
It feels increadibly off
is there never a situation i should use whirlwind? can i just take it off my bars ?
correct
whirlwind is for dps warriors
revenge is better in every way for prot
i can see that
Alright, got it, thanks
how the fk am i supposed to push keys this season 🤔 when putting up a +4 in LFG i get 0 signs, and i have 0 rating so not getting invited for anything +10 or higher...
soon as my key turns into legion im boned
i have no idea whatsoever about those dungeons
just remember that spell reflect is your friend in neltharion lair
which is the only legion dungeon btw
UR and FH are bfa
incredibly good time to be dwarf with FH final boss bleed and under rot disease shenanigans
Patience, plenty of people are just starting and as a tank you have advantage for sure. Just keep apply low keys, you'll get invited 🙂
i was on my alt Warlock tho
any of the Uldaman trinkets worth anything?
the DPS or the Tank one?
Nevermind, solved it, so it's down 😄
checked wowhead and it said the DPS uldaman is pretty good 🤔 so i went Arms loot spec
but it didnt drop anyway 😄
Is Eranog ring at 408 worth it? or only 421?
with the nerf to it, it feels extremely lackluster
oh how i love being 2800 last season and getting declined for +13 🙂
Pump your own key up idk
your not a prot paladin
if not pink = decline
rip me
guess ill go on my 2200 r.io prot paladin and queue up there
it will get invites
see if i get better results despite being 10 ilvls lower
but get your name out there i got invited to a 20 today becase i new the key owner

and they believed in me
that was their mistake

xD
idk think ill just push my own keys
so much easier
but sucks having to push my keys from +2
so dumb they did the -10 thing
literally the first 11 lvls are useless
Hello can i ask which trínket you would rather play for def?... i have Treemouth from bracken and Ward from neltharion boss
spore pods Kappa
Talisman > tree mouth for your own defensives
Ward is more an external for your group that can also be used on yourself iirc
The recommended embellishments in the pins are both single target right? Does that hold up for M+ too?
you can sim it for multi target as well. just do a patchwerk 1 target vs patchwerk 3 target for example.
double shadowflame seems to be doing well in ST and MT
Ok thank you will do
no 
open to criticism here
not really sure what i could have done significantly better? looking at the people in top ranks and my cpms seem fine compared to them
but i refuse to believe 70th percentile vs 100th percentile is just gear diff i must being doing something run
it's pretty broken yeah
From what i can tell slightly low revsmenge casts and gige low TR casts 1 more than me when my fight was 3 mins (checking a hc log of mine all i have),
No forgestorm
Still running lariat
No armour patch
No grieftorch
No drogbar
Some pieces are pretty low ilvl
Thing is ita more about u need skill and the gear and rng on your side to parse now
i too will cast some revsmenge's next time i run a key
oh yeah i missed 2 TR casts
Oh and running defenders ageis and bolster
Even tho u dont have new 2pc
U dont run bolster till then
yeah the bolster was defo wrong
yeah aegis was mostly for HC sark because p1 was kinda scary on last tankbuster
forgot to swap
okokok cool ty for looking at the log
atleast you got the fear
and gear makes a huge difference
definitly a big part between 100 and 70
im still convinced that button is cursed
yeah i mean
if i had forgestorm and new embellishments and 2pc
it's probably purple
but that's probably also true for all the other blue logs
so idk
also look at our stats vs mine
you SS usage is very nice tho :>
get more gear and you are good
Is forgestorm bis for protection warrior too?
they changed under rot a bit, i can tell
added 2 extra worms between boss 3 and 4, and final boss has some new mechanic
has a totally new graphic
if it works the same way
that or my gpu was really dog shit back then, i had a 1050ti back then.
it was rough
The conal animation is new but the mechanic was always there
Worth putting an embellish on shieldy?
Damnit Yogi I told you about the worms. Never listens. smh my helmet
And nothing actually has changed about last boss. Cragmaw is the only one that's changed and that's for consistency not any actual mechanic change.
Yes
Anyone tanked Sark? Wondering in phase 3 with the void slashes, there's conflicting data about what to do with them. One says just heal through it and taunt each one, another says getting hit twice fizzles it, another says 10 stacks...
On what difficulty?
void slash keeps stacking so you could notionally just keep it stacking to avoid it ever exploding (if you can live that). but you can also just get 10 stacks of standing in shit which sends you down to the shadow realm and you explode on no one
We were just swapping back and forth after each slash on normal. We were having a tank do one of the bombs, so when bombs came up, we'd wait for the next slash, swap, then non-tanking tank would go do bomb, drop bomb and void at the same time, then come back up and taunt
But void slash you can just jump out for 2 sec and not hit anyone with the explosion no?
Or is it different on heroic
You can yeah, don't even really have to jump if you don't want to. You have like 8 seconds
Uptime
I don't know if it changes on heroic though
I just mean if you didn't have it or something, you don't NEED it
But ye. I don’t see why you should stack to 10
on heroic you can just have one tank taunt for every buster
on heroic you cannot have that mechanic explode upstairs
it will kill the whole raid
I see
source: i did it like 4 times tonight
but the boss literally does the ability like 3 times the whole phase
and they're so staggered that you can have one tank do it each time if you want
how does the treemouth trinket work with ignore pain?
does ignore pain do 50% and then the trinket does 50% of the remaining 50%?
I'm pretty sure that other absorbs will take precedence over IP
So the entire trinket absorb would be consumed before IP was taken into consideration.
so other way around from what i said?
Correct
cool thanks
IP basically always goes last
So the "ten stacks" comment was probably related to going to the other realm I'm assuming?
correct
oh yay were back to people leaving on first death in +14 😄
So on normal heal through, on heroic use the void. There was just this one comment on wowhead about making it "fizzle" which was confusing me
yeah I'm not sure what it's talking about there. I don't even think the void slash happens close enough together to take a second one before the debuff expires.
Sweet, thanks team
to the guy that called me a "agent of chaos"
you are an avatar of chaos
take a second screenshot with 66 rage
And lose 4 levels
69 rage*
So, can i upgrade a veteran item into a champion item
ok actually
i figured out why i only parsed blue on that kazzarra kill
the boss legit trolled me so fucking hard when i was trying to move her
she cast every mechanic consecutively without moving
No. The track is the track. Once you're at max, that's as far as you go.
does last boss Neltharus need tuning or are we doing something wrong
Depends what you're dying to I suppose
Grab trinkets early
sometimes it's just the rot, sometimes swirlies, we are grabbing trinkets early and just exploding the moment we hit shield
between the curse and the rot we're getting ticked for like 200k every 3sec
there is no rot
on that boss
you're just too slow on shield
we broke shield in 0.3 seconds today because everyone precast properly
also just bring a decurse if it's that bad
are all 5 people doing trinkets?
yeah
All 5 should be doing trinkets. Otherwise the shield lasts too long and the pulsing damage fucks you
new question: did i imagine it or do the swirlies from that phase disappear when the shield breaks
like can we just all 5 precast nuke it and go back to business immediately or have to dodge?
The swirlies happen because the shield is up
I don't think there's any way to avoid them happening at least one barrage
Even if you insta-break shield
But you can cast all the trinkets while moving now so dodging shouldn't be too hard
im not sure exactly whats going on there, but i think that the absorb applies at the same time or before most likely you take damage, cuz its being cut roughly in half like the tool tip,
so im wondering if activating the trinket, eats up that 100k worth of the 386k that it can do leaving me with 286k bubble
cuz if thats so, that make it really ass
I mean a 286k bubble is still like what, 40-45% hp? That's still a huge shield
true i guess i just feel like im paying a stupid tax for eqiupping it
cuz it self nerfs it self (potentially)
that is why you use talisman
Also wdym by 100k worth? It's only absorbing 50k damage
that is before any mitigation
Also are you sure it isn't Ignore Pain eating the 50k?
i don't think you're getting hit full value that never happened to me
I used the trinket in valdrakken and saw a similar effect, 50k damage, 50k avsorbed
Yes but the point is that it only absorbs 50%, not the whole hit. So if it does 107,534, then it's' only consuming half that in absorb.
Doubt i had ignore pain up
So you're only "wasting" 50k, not 100k
So you still have 335k worth of shield
Which is ~50% HP
removed all buffs for that one
this is with SW and reflect, so it gets hard damage reduced by our abilities.
Think blizz is going to change how it interacts, personally that doesnt seem how they want the trinket to work
Actually yogi, another test i wanna see you try
Does avatar amp the damage?
I feel like I;m missing on Zskarn heroic. The tank swap Searing Claws lasts 20 seconds but guides says to tank swap at 5-7 stacks
But it definitely doesn't fall off before that
18k and 38k was with defensive stance up i wanted to test that as well
@granite pond i believe dodging and parries prevent applications as it is applied by his melee swings, thats prolly where the variance is coming from
we had 6 deaths in that 8 UR some how,
2 or 3 to worms, other normal deaths rest of them, warlock died to charge on boss 2, ppl died over time on final, normal stuff
maybe but even then it stacks up pretty high before you can re-taunt
with such mechanics, where you get stacks during tanking, just make first swap at X stacks, then swap everytime one tank drops his stacks
unless there is some specific strat where you are busy and another tank have to take one more shot
big drops tonight 🙂
Is last stand considered a mitigation like does the bonus health debuff certain damage elements on sarkareth
It's not a mitigation. It might help you survive something you otherwise wouldn't, but you're still taking the full damage from it.
Ahh ok that’s what I assumed but also hoped it had some funky interactions on the bonus health thank you
Y’all use violent outburst on thunder clap for aoe scenario? If so, what amount of targets u think justifies that?
I believe it's 5+ targets during Avatar and 6+ outside of Avatar. But if you're holding globals for it hoping for SS proc, you just send on TC on any target count
Just dropped my Forgestorm in a 17!
the hit from splinter doesnt eat any of the splinter absorb
Huge
ONE OF US ONE OF US
I have a forgestorm but it's maxed at 424 sadly
Also maining prot paladin this season
Doing a lot of pugging this season so I need something I can cover pug fuck ups with sadly.
Yeah I'll at least do warrior later but limited play time + pugging = not a lot of ambition for alts right now
I feel that
well not limited play time but most of my playtime is in wee hours so it's a bit harder to get into stuff
I wanna be doing keys but I just finished an 11 hour work day and now getting my gym time in
Yeah, priorities zzz
Not at PC right now, but is there a way for us to get a mortal strike debuff in our tree
are people going full offensive trinkets or using defensives too?
offense is de wae
Not as prot I don't believe @sonic moon
I got an Irideus Fragment, fucking simming high with it
There are actually decent defensive trinkets this season which is nice, but we generally will still go for offensive trinkets
kazzara is wild
Hey, what do you guys think are the best embellishments for m+ ?(and on what items should they be put)
Frostfire Belt still worth having if you dont have rings, or switch to Primal Molten belt with patch when you get it/flavor pocket/something else?
Frostfire is fine to keep if you want to but it's about 200 DPS behind patch
yeh its my lowest ilvl atm, and i havent used my spark yet, so weighing up what to do.
Patch would open up stat options too since frostfire is locked to its stats
Anyone else know if the frost protodrake breath in HoI is supposed to track the tank?
Or if it just hits that hard and is unavoidable
Hit me for 500k
It legitimately did more the bosses combined

Looking forward to that shit on fort
You can simply range it
Might've been this, clipped by the stun and didn't have ip refreshed so I probably took a full slap
No reason to use a cd for it just walk out about 12-15 yards
yeah the stun is surprisingly annoying
oh i guess you can range them too apparently
I've noticed that the swirly in neltharius is not a good representation of the area
where? last boss swirlies?
Him and forge
Blizz swirlies without the circle around the edge are fuzzy and not to be trusted
They're about 2steps bigger for the damage area, noticed that you can be fully clear of the graphic and still get burned
Do squeeze between, not fun
That shit trucked me hard on the 20 HoI I did.
I was very much not expecting it to hit that hard.
TFW you're either a bdk or kiting
With trash hits like this
only masochists play bdks
But now I know, actually have to press buttons on those
Not even just swirlies, I died while DPSing last boss of Vortex Pinnacle because apparently being just inside the triangle isn’t actually in it
hah you big stinky dumb idiot!
Fr
I had to basically solo a VP last boss because....I had 3 dudes from ragnaros
Oof
So there was me and the warlock
We had 5 deaths on that boss
Because they bressed the healer
And they promptly died to static
So they ressed the priest, who stood outside the triangle
I reflexively jump continually while tanking
So
But yeah I had the shortbus crew from rag
Still +2 it
Also I'd just like to say, fuck neltharion lair first boss on +16
"oh, add spawned on me while the boss does his cleave...
I might be on crack but I'm pretty sure I outranged it on my Monk earlier.
Last boss on neltharus, guy with the shield is there a trick outside of using gold piles?
Get 3 weppys so that there only needs to be one more.
One person can get multiple weapons? I didn't know that.
Yep.
Shit that's a gamechanger
Yes... and bad dps
What's the RNG?
If you pick up multiple of the same weapon it just borks it
Like if you have a wand and you get another pile that's wand, it'll just remove the pile.
Oh, right
But you keep the one you had already?
And the tooltip doesn't say what the weapon is
yeah
So 2 would be safer right? Since that still leaves 2 for the others in case of bad RNG?
yea
Or well, 2 and then 3 if you didn't get shit RNG on the 2nd
Yeah I wouldn't click more than 3 piles
Either way.
However, if one of your dps gets charge prayge that they're a paladin
In my experience the dps who gets charge is a coward 😄
What did the boots one do that they removed?
So when can i ditch my onyx annulet?
Am I the only one that experienced the neltharus boss with the chains, ur supposed to kite boss thru em….it doesn’t seem to break his enrage. Even when doing it twice
Have to break all chains
Oh so if one dps messes it up and doesn’t line, it screw it I guess
It's still possible to drag him through a chain that's small; just harder. But ideally yes, the DPS move away from the spear so it's easier.
Also have to be careful (at least I assume you do on higher keys) about breaking them too quickly because it puts a stacking dot on the group each time a chain breaks.
What race is best for Prot Warrior? I've been told both Dwarf and Night Elf
but, but... flips!
Well, in the end you play whatever you want to play
yeah somewhere around 16 tyr it was already becoming a problem to heal through more than one chain break at a time.
I want gnome paladin more than life itself.

Did they change how weapon upgrade discounts work? I'm looking at shield and 1h here and both require no crests. All I've upgraded is a 2h arms weapon.
No it's not changed
Your 2h qualifies the shield and 1h
That's why it's suggested to get a 2h and upgrade it to save on some crests.
Oh neat. I asked here earlier in the week and got told they were separate.
uh, it wasn't in here.
In #general I think I asked
Here as in this Discord
oh
There's a general channel here?
right
this is what this discord looks like to me
And I only recently started showing #268491842637660160 because Nome said something about something being in faq

Is it normal for ignore pain to fall off ?
thought its easy to always have ignore pain up
like in sl s4
maybe im using to much revenge idk
It's normal to not have IP 100% uptime
It's just used as a rage dump when Revenge isn't enough to prevent overcapping by itself.
The only time you prioritize it is if you need it for an upcoming hit
ok it just felt strange cuz the last time i played warrior was in sl
thanks for the answer
There’s no thing as „to much revenge „
So would the best tier 4set be everything but shoulders with crafted shoulders? (in terms of stats)
I must ask. What does a devoker lose by taking the AoE soothe?
Uh, 4% magic damage reduction? lol
Ghash
Did you hear my idea?
We should be able to get like the next level down of crests from keys once we hit our weekly cap.
So like if I'm capped on Aspect Crests for the week but not Wyrm Crests, I think it'd be pretty awesome to get Wyrm's from 16+.
Obviously this won't matter once you're stacked on hero gear.
But like when the catalyst comes out they should make crets BoA too.
Yeah that was one of my suggestions (or well, it's close to what I suggested)
My suggestion was that you could get both Aspect and Wyrm from 16+
Wish they'd fix the weird item trading bugs
I'm currently farming 9s and 10s because 1) It gives champions gear and 2) I'm capped on Wyrms but need Drakes.
My paladin had two 411 rings and was able to trade a 418 ring. Got a 424 ring shortly after that, and then couldn't trade a 418 ring lol.
wtf
There's multiple endgames in WoW.
I guess
One of which is repeatable. 🙂
First time tanking raid since TBC
i got no piece
I should probably pug it.
@warm plinth hope you used barbaric
It was stupid easy. None of us had ever even seen the raid and we would've had Sarkareth after a couple more pulls but people got hungry.
We only pulled him 3 or 4 times
And had him to like 30%
I am prot pal main this season 
Im gonna do the next mythic boss with the best talent to show you that you are misguided
you won't

no balls
immo? Warrior doesn't have immo aura you goose
what's a good metric for shieldblock uptime in a key?
@limpid anchor where am i seeing this?
details show me?
nop
how do i get tier this season if i only do M+? Just prayge from the Vault?
Any thoughts on spore cloak?
There will be a catalyst
like in 8 weeks right?
Not sure
Dn
Yeah that's what you're about to get
takes forever to find grps tho
make the group 
dont u raid with a guild?
yes on 1 toon
got 3-4 chars i wanna play this season 🙈
Prot Pala + Warr, Resto Shaman, and Warlock for guild raid
feels a bit stupid tho 😄
also my schedule is very busy this season, so cant join first 4 raid nights with guild
4 raids night and full time job?


didnt say i want to do raid nights on all 4 😄
dont have a job currently, starting at 1st of August
is normal tier upgradeable to 441?
no
I like that I can multi spec very easily now with the free crest discounts
ah ok, so i need HC tier in vault to up to 441
I think normal goes to 437?
crest discount?
like im just thinking, if i get a 430~ tier through M+ vault, vs a HC tier, both can be upgraded to 441 anyway 🤔
so in that case i need +18 or higher for M+ vault to surpass HC vault
Well so let's say you get a shit trinket at idk, 431 right
Well, I guess trinket is a bad example since you have to get 2
Let's say like...m/v gloves at 431
yea and the raid trinkets are probably pretty good anyway
If you get c/h gloves at like 418, you don't need to pay crests to get them 431, just flightstones
im just trying to figure what i should "grind" first, since i have 2 days and my vault is currently 6 / 12 / 12 / 13 for my 4 toons
with 1 of them having full Normal Raid vault
Well, 14 would be the next breakpoint for vault gear
12 and 13 are the same
So probably just get the 6 to 12 at minimum
And then try for some 14s
i did 12++
they seem fairly doable
its just horrible having to push all my keys from +2 :<
no one signs on <10
but is it worth spending my time on clearing Normal for Tier chances 🤔
Huh, I would've thought it'd be easier for you guys since you have more players
oof
i filled grp with 370 ilvl, and we depleted because heal and tank were fkd
depleted my +4 to +3 🙂
I think it's okay to get normal tier. You can upgrade normal to 437 I think
With drake/wyrm crests
if i only clear Normal with no HC, wont i just get Tier so slow anyway, that i will end up with 2-3 pieces when cc comes out 🤔
but then again, if i wanna min/max trying to get tier from M+, i need to do 8 dungeons every week 🤣
is this counting as two embellishments ?
why would it?
Unique-Equipped: Enbellished 2
its the first time im using a crafted item
this shit is confusing
they all say that, thats because it is "Unique" up to 2 of them
so you can wear 2x Embellish
oh
i tought the number 2 there meant it was counting as 2
nah, none of them count as 2
nice thanks
it would be "Unique Equpped Embelish (1)" if you were only able to wear 1
let me ask you another thing
wowhead is suggesting me that my second embelishment item should use Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch
what armor piece do you suggest i put it on ?

craft shield and save your money on the Shadowflame shit until it drops in price
okk
thank you
i was gonna play wow for a few months until Diablo 4 launches
now im addicted to this and dont even want diablo anymore
Hello small question :
Tongue Hacker : https://www.wowhead.com/item=193729/tongue-hacker
VS
Forgestorm : https://www.wowhead.com/item=193785/forgestorm
? pls 🙂
At same ilevel, forgestorm wins
You win!
Hey warriorgang
I want to craft a shield, do i just go for the regular one, or is it worth getting the one from the new raid? with the dmg effect on it?
Molten Defender all day everyday
Cheers!
Anyone done testing for scalecommander blocks etc? Spreadsheet not updated
No but you can probably look at logs
Hello! Are there any good trinkets obtainable from m+?
Mark of Dargrul is a good offensive trinket. Talisman of the Cragshaper is a good defensive trinket. The rest are from raid.
Sadge 🙃
Are you asking if spell block works on the dots, if so yes.
Spell Block working on DoTs? 👀
ikr!
if it work is so strong 😄
Not the splinter as def trinket?
It's solid. Talisman is better though
👀
A trinket/ring, that lets you have BOTH talents in a choice node of your choosing.
can we pick more than one item on neltharus last boss without dispelling the curse?
yes
i know it doesnt, i wanted to know if you have to dispell the curse to pick up another one
thank you guys
cheers
yea ty
I can't understand for life of me why sonething instantly absorbs 50% of the hit even with 0 buffs
wtf is with Neltharus last boss, my party was chain dying on the Shield + AOE shit 🤔 is that just noobs or what?
+14 Neltharus one shotting people constantly
floor swirls, standing in bad
Seems like ignore pain also helps it, maybe, lowest I was getting hit for was like 11-14k ,(+38k absorbed), and I think I had sw ready too., point being it doesn't seem to be that big of deal
At worst no buffs, I'm taking 52k
no wipes in entire Neltharus
then we wiped 9 times on last boss
🙂
fun shit
idk i guess the Shield breaking item roots you in place for the cast duration, meanwhile swirleys have to be dodged?
you can move while using them
still get swirleys dont you?
You can move while casting
one of the items does a charge to the boss on finish
3.5
I can't remember for sure but think my new key is 11 nelth
oh so precast it while boss is casting shield shit?
Yes
But if you pop it to fast it bugs out and spawns swirlies until next shield
Then they stand still and cast
rogue and enha shaman
Neltharus isn’t pug friendly in low keys
I can do 2 more any keys and get a second relatively pepegas item
nah i noticed 😄
idk if people are just not getting items
because we would have 10sec shield up
5 items should be enough every time right?
Need 4
oh 4 is enough lol
i think 4 will do it, you can also just grab 2 urself
So healer doesn’t do it normally
can i carry 2 at the same time?
Yes, if it’s different items
Cast or swirly?
swirl
Under rot is free if you have players with hands on controls, monitors / pcs turned on and brain turned on
oh well nice waste of 1 hour
freehold does have free in the name so 🤷♂️
I've had horrible and great luck pugging mondays
You really see the full spectrum of players pugging a 10 -15 Mondays
i think im gonna do some Neltharus to try to get a Forgestorm
I didn't get spore pods i didn't get nothing from under rot
why would you want sporepods
Why not for now
I don't even know all the trinkets that exist this season and are good

Forgestorm is pretty much a run away for best weapon this season. 437 Forgestorm sims about 700 dps higher than my 447 crafted sword. That difference only amplifies the more targets you have.
I couldn't care less ATM to check really
I m just gonna throw my self out there, see what I can do!
We're pretty beefy and can probably rely on damage trinkets still. I run Mark of Dargrul (7% avg of my overall dmg) and Grapnel from Zaq Assault.
Beacon will be the go to for most as scalecommander gets more available on different difficulties.
Tree mouth/spore pods is a total yogi bait trinket though, let's be real
I'll keep one fully upgraded for some random niche environment, or maybe fortified weeks of extremely high keys
Still some primitive part of my brain tells me I'm a tank, so I need tank related stuff,
I don't usually think about offensive tribkets till i get them
I don’t feel tanky at all :(
Well unfortunately they went with dot stacking on half the bosses of raid. Definitely gave Paladin the crown and throne for season.
I mean at least treemouth is an actual good trinket. Sporepods is literal garbage.
Sporepods trash no matter what expansion it gets rereleased in
I just did an 11 with a BM hunter who did 17.8k DPS 
Nice
I'd be curious to see the impact of the upgrade system and average io score.
Can't be too mad at him he had a bunch of blues equipped
I still wonder how hunter does less dpsthan tank
It has 3 specs devoted to killing shit
How do you know o_O
peeps tell me something for us as prots is it worth simming on raidbots tog gear?
For damage, yes
and for as u say tankiness?
You don't sim tankiness no
No one can sim for tankiness. 90% of survival is gameplay, 7% is talents, 3% is gear
okapa thanks everyone
Just go for ilevel>haste>crit=vers>mastery in general.
And don't use barbaric training
We are civilied people, we don't use barbaric things
So, anyone done experiments as prot yet? Got melted on them last night 😅
im not sure what ur talking about, im guessing thats a raid fight
If you go double shadowflame armor patch is the eranog ring still worth?

Shadowflame can still proc eranog if you are lucky afaik
what's everyone crafting next week ? 😄
hey guys i want a Forgestorm
can i farm it on mythic+ ?
yes
ive done only nm/hc, so easy-peasy so far,
Good luck! I class stacked 4 runs and no one got it, going to be this seasons whetstone for me
bruh
meanwhile my monk

wow the game really wants me to do Neltharus
i have Neltharus key on all 4 toons now
It's fun as long as you have people who don't bitch about clearing the 2nd boss room and doing the door skip
Sorry 3rd boss room
i did it 2hours ago
we were good entire dung
then wiped 10 times on last boss
and people left
I saw some raid guides but none specific for tanks.
First time tanking. There is any place to check what we need to do? When to taunt etc?
What you guys use?
read mythic trap https://www.mythictrap.com/en
use this WA https://wago.io/dfcotank2
and you're pretty much 90% there
Thank you "George" 🤣
Is there a trick I'm missing to Naraxus when you get spiked tongue? Half the time when I pick a puddle to save myself it despawns but how do you know which ones are the most recent?
doubt it
thats sad
remember where and when the add died
in which order
20 nt haven't seen a single one ;[
So I need to look behind me then, cheers. Annoying but what isn't in NL?
i would just make sure for 1 guy to always get close to boss
and kill it there
so you dont lose uptime
There's also the much easier way to deal with that by avoiding puddles altogether and standing behind one of the piles of eggs
And just taunting and walking in as the cast ends so you don't get eaten
I think I'm gonna need to go queue some way low keys and practice the boss tbh. It's the only part fucking me up now.
That's what I have been doing. Heroic leaping out to eggs right before the cast goes off then you can sit there for most of it as well as get a clear picture of where the piles are so you can run against it and end up in one of the slow pools.
any specific strat to the Elephant boss in Nelt?
