garbage fights don't drop anything for me!
and its free
boo-urns!
stop being a whiny lil bish
so idk what was up with that guys sims earlier but heres my 10target sim regarding annulet
and its not even close
was he in dog gear?
yeah i think he was like 425ish
idr exactly
thats prob why but like 10 ilvls?
its not that big
maybe just a dog simmer
true its prob something to do with that
heckin pebkac strikes again

any suggestions? was going to choose the wrist , but I have doubts.
can the incorporeal beings be damaged and break their ccs?
No
oh nice
Well...that's not actually 100% true lol.
There are a lot of cleave type effects that are currently hitting incorporeals, and it can break the CC.
@scarlet dune @restive crown
ow good to know
Is that current? It used to break on PTR but hasn't broken at all since they changed it.
Smart play right now is if one spawns in melee, you should pull the pack away if possible
Yes, that's from today
Interesting... Haven't seen that today so far but good info, thanks.
It's also stealing targets from target caps it looks like. e.g. even though it's immune to say, fury's whirlwind cleave, it's still counting toward their target cap
So they're basically only cleaving 4 mobs if there's an incorp in melee range
instead of 5
Just to clarify, it's not ALL cleave effects. Just some
Wow, that's poorly designed.
In the case of the above screenshot, it's the dot from killshot from MM hunter, and twin moons (the secondary moonfire is what hit the incorp)
prob go with prot if you need a shield, fury if you need a main hand, otherwise arms
Did TW Firelands, got the Rag 2H... Opened the TW Cache and got an Ashkandur. The game wants me to play Arms instead of Prot T_T
two 2 handers in the same day sounds more like fury to me lol
Perhaps but then I'd have to change all my gear XD
bruh i got forgestorm but on my 3rd slot which was a +16
Still counts.
Team. I have Ascended.
What crack has MW consumed this season? They've been the most consistent healer in my pugs. Always pumping dps, SG is just OP group healing.
Who's ready to parse! π
guess we go no main stat trinket
beacon good
Check it crit on Bromach lol
If you don't have a Beacon. It's nutty. Grab it lol
is mark of dargrul sim bait or actually good?
It pumps
I'd take an anvil though when I get it. But it still pumps
Forgestorm is the pick here right? https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Quackshi
lucky
Do you guys think pocket anvil is worth getting in ST
100%
Yes. Very strong.
POG POG POG
Is this ring worth taking ? And spending crests on upgrade ?
What spec do you guys open your vaults in?
arms
whats the reaso for that? is it just that you dont get the bad trinkets?
fury* so you can chance getting forgestorm.
but correct game play will
Is it possible for items that are looted now, from vault for example, to be transformed to tier later on with catalyst ?
yes
Do you guys think its worth craft an item with tinker socket to get battle rez tinker?
And one question, does fear work on the affix for this weak?
Oh ok thank you.π
Should I open the vault in Fury spec to maximize the luck for forgestorm ? Fury players aren't playing with 2x2h ?
I don't know that you're maximizing forgestorm by opening as fury. You lose shields but gain 2h, you lose tank trinkets but gain dps trinkets. The chances are probably basically the same.
There is War prot that using def trinket ? π
You should open as fury because tank trinkets are not worth
And can still luck into forgestorn through fury
I was saying that the luck does not change regardless. It has nothing to do with who is using what
You have approximately the same chance to get a Forgestorm regardless of whether you open as prot or fury
That I think too, thx
info: Ominous Chromatic Essence trinket keeps the stat binding for each spec. For my prot its on bronze df and once i swapped to arms it is obsidian now as i settled it up 2 days ago.
zug zug
do people open vault in Prot for weapon early?
like i feel so many of the Trinkets are in Arms loot π€
god gamer
If it's in arms then it's in fury
And fury can get 1h weapon as well
I open as fury cause I crafted the shield and who needs defensive trinks
For the crafted shield, we can do one with an embelishment ? Or only the one without it ?
You can put shadowflame patch on it
Don't make the shadow buckler or w/e it's called
It's shit
should i pick the 418 2set or the 437 chest for pure ilvl as i will get CC eventually anyway π€
Aren't the shoulders upgradeable to 437 anyway?
u cant waste crests
nah true
its okay but farmable at that ilvl. might be a socket vault
also its hands π
good zuggin
What about the fat crit haste ring
do we replace onyx anulet?
Once you find something that sims higher
Defensively speaking though, stats are better than no stats and damage
Since end of S1 I got a aggro Problem, especially in M+, does maybe somebody have some advice for me how to produce more aggro?
Aggro problems are one of two things.
Trigger happy DPS'ers who go into the pack before you do.
Or more likely, you playing the class incorrectly.
Without logs/vods it's hard to say what's going wrong.
nothing sims higher
Then you don't change it
It's the answer to your question, nobody knows all variations of possible sims by heart
Your SS/TC/Revenge casts are awfully low.
That's your problem.
You're not using your buttons enough, on CD.
What is SS and TC? i play in german language π
Shield Slam, Thunder Clap-
Ah ok so u mean my Problem is to not keep them on CD?
Yes.
You need to press them on CD.
Priority is:
SS->TC
You are prioritising TC for w/e reason.
do you guys go fury loot spec in raid too for trinkets?
And your Revenge casts are horrid.
o.o
That's probably also the reason you are losing aggro in AoE.
1)You're not using SS/TC enough so you don't generate enough Rage.
2)The little rage you do generate you seem to be spending on Ignore Pain.
3)You don't have enough rage for Revenge causing low DPS / aggro issues
Maybe I focus too much on the DEF Stuff like ignore Pain π€
Ok now I get it, what' the Problem π₯³

Thank u very much! I will try to focus on that Rota π«‘
Good luck. 
I appreciate ur help π₯³
im happy with my vault 
I got nothing useful in my vault and I took the tokens, now I realized I could have taken the 447 chest and save it for Catalyst. OMG. what an idiot
Patrick Jane would've seen that possibility smfh
The socket is really good tho, so not too bad
yeah so true.loll
oh yeah thats a good point too, thanks for the positivity haha, I felt sooo bad
I'm actually working through that series right now. Pretty good so far
nicee, yeah it's a nice series, I have watched it 2-3 times, it's chill and fun.:D and I like the way that Patrick is rude and arrogant in a funny way
are any of the timewalking Firelands items worth grinding and upgrade to 437?
there will be plenty of chests in your vault before catalyst releases π
yeah, that is hopefully true haha, thank you. π
After not getting a single tier token first week this weeks vault got me the 4set

Rng is not a total bitch
If i hold my vault item (with speed procc) and catalyse it later - does it still have speed on it?
Yes
Choice here is OCE right? Already have my 4 set but debating to replace 421 lariat with the neck
Well, if you got prio for OCE you can skip for a raid drop and take the 447. If neck got perfect stats, I say neck, as you will be one step closer to completion 
As I only have time to run like a 4 dungeons a week do You think I should focus more on doing like 13s in order to get more gear and upgrade it to 437 ( since 13s are easier I could try to do more than 4) or should I try to push higher keys? My current ilvl is 421
For homelander raid horn, do I just stutter ste around a bit aafter activating? any tipson using this thing
I do 17 farm for gear at 415, so just farm 17s if it is not too hard for you personally for time efficiency
You could farm 11-16 till you are wyrmcrest capped every week for some more base gear (that you don't upgrade), if you really struggle getting gear, big shield is top prio
is primal molten shield with the shadow embel the best choice?
Generally, yes
Week 3 , only one piece of new set.
got only 2 pieces of old set for the bonus dmg red.
Today i loose it bcs in the vault there is the head 444
When the catalyst open ?
i'm so depressed
I got Anvil 441 and tier legs 447 in vault. Tier will not get me 4-piece, and I think legs are worst stats right?
Or, should I still take tier over Anvil you'd say?
thanks π
I don't know the prot tiergear situation, but if you won't be using the legs - then trinky or gemslot is your options 
Legs are the only ones without haste (crit-vers), so, not bad of course, but I assume it's the one tier slot that we'd rather use an offpiece in, but not sure so hence the question here
As I know Anvil is apparently a really good trinket, which makes me doubt...
i dont know what should i choose finger or oce ive a 437 finger and other one is onyx 424 and my trinkets are still icon and whestone from last patch, other options i dont need them at all
fairly sure tier will beat OCE
any help and though's?
hello guys, anyone know where to find documentations on reflectable spells ? thanks
thanks mate
Alright thank You
hey guys i want to ask what does it mean to increase the on hit damage like the pocket anvil trinket
Historically trinkets have not taken benefit from Avatar.
I know that i does take benefit from Druids w/e talent it is that increases their arcane damage dealt.
draught of souls was buffed by avatar tho
ey, i was wondering why simc dont sim the damage of shockwave ? when you spec into sonic boom it hits very hard
it does
it does, the other talents just sim higher
i see a new line in details
for single target? probably that sounds right yeah
our ST is very bad
so things that give stats are bad
things that give flat damage procs are good
Any Ideas which one to pick? I just started tanking with start of the season so I am not that proficient in evaluating picks π (Current Keylevel is only 9+ but I think 12s should be doable this lockout)
even if the bracers are overall more stats and the upgrades for Forgestorm would take a while to reach?
you can get bracers from a lot of sources
you will end up with some sooner or later
that specific weapon is more difficult to get
if you don't go forgestorm i'm telling your mother
okay π
Thanks for the input π
same c:
i have like 20 neltharions lair runs too
and the only time the trinket dropped was when my co-tank came too
and he got it
c:
any stonks items from firelands for us?
no
anyone tried any runs this morning with incorporeal, how is it? i imagine its just all players ignoring the CC and hoping someone else does it?
and is "menace" viable for it?
no menace is never viable
hi people
your just going to make it harder to break the mobs u also fear
is Icon still a good option for us?
sim
if a healer and dps have it is ok
thanks uuuu
whats our best option to help with the CC for it in that case?
π If only it was the case. in me experience in pugs, dps only dps and nothing else.
well every other class has something better for it that we do
same as old expolsive
we couldnt hit them
not on us
yeh i hear ya
this trinket seems fine π
and btw i only have 2 set, but im using the older 2 set aswell , is it okay? or its better change the previous set to any item available?
You can sim to find out but the 2 set is like a ~4% damage gain so it'll probably hold up to at least a little bit of ilevel
(the old 2-set I mean)
uhum
Does SS take priority over TC in aoe with our 4 set procced?
Does anyone see any strong reason to open vault as prot? I mean I have crafted shield, I have a decently upgraded forgesmash and tank trinkets don't seem very good this season.
Do you wanna have 40% haste with into the fray and rune or without
Also ngl, I wouldn't mind getting Ashkanduur before my guildies
Only good i See would be Echo trinket
is that a raid trinket?
Thanks I went arms, got a leech tier chest
I think it's decent, but nothing special from what I hear. It does however give good vers stat so...
it's just the damage is pretty meh compared to others
i have a mark and an anvil so its got competition lol
tbh we have so many great trinkets to chose from, why settle for a less than great one
π₯²
Hi everyone
I have 441 leech neck on me and 447 same neck in vault
I shouldnt take it, right? leech is worth 6 neck ilvls?
its not
especially after it got nerfed in 10.1
these stats are called tertiary for a reason π
Heart of thunder any good? just got it from VP, its decent right?
I can see my vault without Connect on wow?
its decent, but if you already got it, you can just try it out by yourself and see if you like it π
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNVZzXgMdXs CUZ THERE'S THUNDER IN YOUR HEART
This song featured in the the movie R.A.D. in 1986. Not much is known about the song itself.
i encountered that song through american dad TBF, or when i first remember hearing and looking it up this is
my tier list for those family cartoon is anything simpsons animation team, then like, american dad and then stuff like family guy is lik, C or D tier, its funny, sometimes
until like, 5 years ago, simpsons was king of cartoon
and it went unchecked for like 30-40 years
What do I even take here? got all 5 Tier pieces already and both rings have a Socket, can't decide
thats a huge amount of versa,
my other ring also has huge vers and my second ring is the onyx ring still I suppose I'll replace

me, pesonally, i wouldnt mind getting the grapnel, see what thats like
sim it is
just got horn guys, how good is it compared to grapnel ?

He which 2 trinkets woud you play with in high M+
Is it just storm bolt we can use for this weeks affixes to stop the cast?
show me a worse vault
I think shield charge stun also? And u can kick
answer to incorporeal affix: not our job
And that's not cause I wanna sound like a lazy tank, it's just that prot warrior has near to no abilities worthwhile for it, and many other players will have something way better for it.
Ofcourse a clutch kick/fear/shockwave/stormbolt can help, but it's no solution for the affix, it's a bandaid
banish, shackle, trap, paralysis, imprison, repentance, fear, ...
they're all 100 times better than what we have since they are hard cc's
Thanks for this. Very helpful!
Looks like Iβll just be farming +11-13s for wyrms and not worrying about any affixes this week π€£
Shockwave doesnβt work on it does it
It might not, cause short stun, but my guess is (read: I haven't done keys this week yet) that it would still interrupt their casting.
But since it's a short stun, and a valuable stop for trash packs, I don't really think you'd ever want to shockwave the incorporeal add(s)
Yeah even int shout wonβt work unless you have it targeted when using it
Did some 17s 18s with it yesterday. There needs to be 2 people on it, if they have >75 IQ, it's a free affix. This week is pretty good for tanks and ranged dps.
could i tank +20 as 420 ilvl π€
yes
what about 414 as pala π
300 pala is fine tbh π
lol
what sholud i get? back or should i complete the t30 set?
Tier
Also, I wouldn't know why that would even be a question to be fair 
Is it worth keeping my season 1 tier set 4 set at item level 411 or just maxing out my item level with mythic gear?
I'm new, so im not sure on how big of an impact it has. Thanks.
In general, unless a tier bonus is extremely bad, tier will win out on a lot of other pieces. Especially on cloaks since they're low on stats
@ionic garden there's a pin detailing 'if/when' to change out tier
Awesome, thank you !
do you guys get routes from keystone guru or is there a better place?
I made my own routes
Its not bad to use as a start to get an idea of what DPS will think is meta
But I usually take their pathing and make slight changes if it's smoother based on affix
Like not pulling the ticks on fort week in UR and getting lashers instead
don't know which one I should take. I have 433 crafted shield, 421 crafted weapon, 421 lariat, already have tier legs.. maybe the grapnel aand up it to 8/8 ?
What's the 441 in non-baguette? I don't recognize the icon.
recraft your shield to 447, take grapnel
yes, I'll recraft my shield to the max, I hope soon
Iβve been using tactyks pug friendly routes theyβve been fine for timing 20s
Dorki always puts solid routes on keystone guru as well
what is the max duration of SB when i run Last Stand? π€
Thunder/mark owns
Bolster i mean ofc
I donβt know the exact number but off the top of my head Iβm pretty sure Iβve seen mine go to almost 30 second duration
33 duration hmm
i think in theory can up for to 39 seconds 2 sb, 1 shield charge, 15 sec from last stand
8x3= 24 + 15
yea ok makes sense
@jagged pier hey guy Iβm trying to bump up my Assault log but I havenβt quite figured out the play yet, is it safe to assume just add pad as hard as possible or am I missing something?
This is only heroic, and ye largely irrelevant but itβs fun to do π
dont bother
its based on speed
its basically a cheese log
u need to extend the phase to get a good log
Oh that must be it then because I feel like Iβm absolutely slamming but the log doesnβt show it
So if we smoke add phase itβs basically a bust yeah?
if do dont cheese adds u wont get a good log
anyone know if i need to upgrade both rings to benefit from cheaper upgrades for new items i get
I believe so yes
Ok thank you
Same as weapon and off hand slots once you have both at X ilvl it becomes free crest cost
and trinkets same way too right
Yes
Ok makes sense I guess
Ehh wish it was just one tbh but I get why that would be too good
Howβs that ashlandur?
pretty good i used it last night
its legit
It's fuck gross
Same dude we should get to use 2h/shield
The real bdk DPS buff
That would be badass
Literally delete 1h from warriors
Yup^
there is something about 2h that just...
No more smf, 2h+shield for prot
once u go ashkandur it hard to go back
Although in this season Iβm glad we can farm pogstorm imagine we had to farm ashkandur

what is the biggest 1h weapon ever
Pogstorm
thunderfury pretty big
The raid I was running with had a soft reserve loot system
Oh you mean that
And literally 9 people on Ashland
Probably thunder fury at the time was insane
Like I said flat out if I win it, y'all ain't getting it
oh i meant like largest
Ohhh then yeah thunder fury to my knowledge is the largest 1h I can think of
Dude I know right except if itβs pugs they all rolling anyway
Hmm, got a heroice OCE tonight
I put haste on mine it simmed 4k over whetstone/grieftorch on 10 target 40
Seems pretty good
They just need to hurry up and nerf Eranog and onyx ring so I can get my missing 1800 haste
Iβd be happy to see annulet go for sure
Finally got a ring that sims better than it in aoe
yeah i want to just use regular rings tbh
Do you just want todo less dmg than now 
At least we get verse from Eranog ring I guess
Why is that good?
I donβt care how much damage I do when the play style feels bad. Passive dmg will never be better than more haste
Honestly they should update every legendary and allow them to be used forever
I'd happily use Thunderfury until the heat death of the universe
Have you read our talents
No I just picked random ones based on how cool their names sounded
We basically got 75% of the Lego effects
95% of new prot warriors agree
Yeah but none of our talents make a whoosh sound and put enemies in a whirlwind
I am a simple man, I hear TF proc, I 
Iβd 100% use thunderfury for the rest of the games existence if they made it relevant and bis
Iβd like them to just make the entirety of wow a progressive difficulty slider where you need to do old raids for the gear required to progress new ones, but that wouldnβt be very good for the game and would probably kill it
I've had that thing for like 20 years and I still have the same exact serotonin response to the proc sound effect that I did the first time
Oh for sure, but I happily used TF for 8 straight tiers and two expansions in a row and I'd happily do it again
Definitely not healthy for game balance
That's why it got nerfed several times during BC
To me itβs like a legendary should remain legendary you know
Instead they just made them trash
Yeah
To me that would be cool but I get why to most it would be annoying
ofc after i pick 437 glove tier in the vault i get glove tier drop in Normal raid...
I'm still incredibly irritated that Rogues got the updated TF skin in Legion
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
mind meld my guy lmaooo
but idk, 437 is higher than 418 right? π
so maybe i made somewhat of a good decision haha
is our 4set good?
like compared to 2+2set?
I think I have like 4pcs I want to use with catalyst already
They have tertiaryβs or sockets
lol
Lololol
I got tier chest out of my box this week and I've got stuff to catalyze
I'm enjoying the white look, i just wish I could catalyst the rest of the set
After last nights re clear Iβm confident Iβll be waiting on catalyst
between the omni token and some drops i got super lucky and am rocking 4p w/o legs
4 warrior tokens dropped and I lost every single one of them
I just need my hat and I'll have it
any good items worth getting from TW Firelands? gear can be upgraded to 437 from there
Technically I could take pants but I have crafted shadowflame pants sooo
Some trinkets ok but nothing to sweat over
Vessel
Trinket off Rag
Good luck getting anything tho
Zaqali Chaos Grapnel any good?
has the general route for neltharus settled yet or still in contention? i've not run it ever is what i mean
not with a timer at least
Hey have a quick question opend my Vault i could either take 447 tset shoulders or 444 Forgestorm ? I have a 441 vers/haste weapon and 2 tset. But dont realy know whats better
So technically
Dropped my first piece on normal yesterday. Nothing from heroic. The omni token gave me my 2pc
444 pog storm will be bis above everything else in the game currently unless you were to get one at 447, that being said if you donβt mythic raid 447 tier shoulder is also bis
I think if I were you
so with the 4-piece bonus, are we supposed to swap to Bolster and just send last stand on cooldown?
444 pogstorm is also only replaced by a 447 version so itβs a hard call
3 ilvl on pogstorm vs 447 tier shoulders I mean ehh
only trinket we need Arms loot spec for is the Anvil right?
Yeah pretty much
got tier legs last week, tier hands this week
and now both of those tokens dropped in the raid π
fun stuff
Is there a "defensive" version of simcraft at all? I'd love to learn how to get a bit more tanky
No, the best defense is offense
The more rage you spend the better
You get avatar and wall back sooner
And when while you are generating infinite rage you are preventing cap with ip casts so you always have that mitigation rolling
Gotcha - so should I just sim for damage then?
Yes
I know I need a new shield but outside of that I don't know what to focus on
Pogstorm
Pretty much focus ilvl
Haven't seen a shield drop in any key and I'm the backup tank so I don't get raid shields
one of my biggest problems is using demo shout when no mobs around
Craft one
Use one of your sparks and make a 447 shield
obviously, im trying to hit them with it, just
No spark
I used sparks for damage, since I DPS in raid
I'll craft one next week if I don't get one this week
In that case then you want to farm a shield from key at the highest ilvl you can
I mean how many tanks in your raid need shield
Shield is your biggest value item hands down
i almost wonder if i should macro charge into demo shout, or like charge after avatar or soemthin
Just one, but we've only seen 2 shields in total drop, one was taken by a healer and one was by our prot pally
so im not missing demo's
No yogi thatβs bad practice
You want to get used to controlling each ability
You want your demo to hit the targets right
yogi out here demo shouting the air
So if you macro it to charge you are now pressing charge bind a 2nd time in melee
Where as you could just press demo button
LOL
macro all buttons into charge
and just hit 1 button
shooting out random spells in random order
The swifty way
Prot paladin style
Such a good time in wow man
π€£
I know itβs nostalgia but man I miss it
my guild ret pala swapped to prot
and he said he was "researching the rotation" π
Cata/mop
im like 
My wife tried prot paladin and was like wow, tanking is really easy I'm just hitting whatever lights up
what do i change from S1 rotation to S2 rotation btw? SS is higher prio than TC even in Avatar now i guess?
does shit even light up?
Paladin is literally stand in consecration > press glowing button > spend holy power
i just hit everything with my forehead
its better to let nature take its course in those secnarios
let him figure it all out for himself
we all know how it will probably end, but hes welcome to try
It's not the best rotation but you can legit play it that way
Like AS WoG SotR and HoW all light up when they're free or reset
It's designed to just play whackamole with whatever glows
how am i supposed to get flame patch
Irony is pwar saying ppal is easy
what are the best trienkets for us now
LMAO
does Blessed Hammer and Judgment even light up?
Auction house
get 'em jordan
π€ did anyone ever say prot warr is not easy
kekw
PWar got more armor than Bear does with 2 IFs.
read again brother
i said it's ironic
sips tea
I didn't say pwar wasn't easy, but ip and block don't light up
I think I prefer that they donβt
Fotm class bby
Nah, you press those to make other buttons light up
I DIDN"T SAY ANY OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS SAID WARRIOR ISN"T EASY
L2READ
I said
it was ironic
one good thing about paladin tank is you just hit conecration and bam u got aggro
360 no scope holy cant be resisted dmg pee puddle
man getting used to using Last stand for dmg :<<<
u dont use it for damage its part of your mitigation
I'm rolling around with 1.02 million health with that bad boy up.
I basically use it on CD, I only save it if I know I'm going to need it for something specific.
u do but as u now take bolster u have to use it on cd for the block
man who needs block when ls makes me blast
hows prot doing this tier. I went fury for my guild but been thinking of getting back into tanking keys
You do, so you don't take a 400k melee. π
i would totally be a mastery boy if i could have 85% passive block
or more obviously, but thats where i'd be happy
Some of the bosses hit pretty hard with some spicy magic damage in Aberrus but, if you've got a competent guild that will give you an external when you ask. It's fine.
for the raid build in the pins... If i get a sudden death proc at the same time as a SS reset, which button should i prioritize?
]cool my pally buddy seems to be having trouble this season which made me wonder if theyre having a tough time in high keys how are we doing
Best thing I did
Iβm pretty sure this βElcapitanβ guy has me blocked or something somehow I see them typing all the time but never a message lol
SS
SS can't reset if it's available. π
Yep canβt go wrong with 447 shield
Itβs hard bis unless you can get 450 raid shield
that is what i thought might be true, thank you!
I feel strong in keys. Even last week was able to pull of some good pulls in 20s. Just have to know the pulls and use proper mitigation.
yea so i use it on CD for dmg + defense π
Weβre rock solid like always
Community perception is bad
I don't really know much on that front I'm afraid but, my co-tank seems to be having a good time.
80% dr on crit block when a lot of the damage is melee is pretty good with all kinds of extra rage to spend on IP. Your health bar doesnβt move
is there any pro tips to reducing the AOE dmg from Sarkareth tank buster?
My guilds healer said having to deal with Prot pally Fotm players in keys is the absolute worst
its always worst to deal with dumb fotm, class doesnt matter in this regard
I feel anytime Warrior is at the top all I hear is "broken, busted, way too overpowered" but, I feel the reaction to Protadin has been pretty lukewarm. Maybe it's my perspective because I don't play anything else.
no thats valid as fuck
pallys bullshit imo its the only class that wont break other classes cc
Probably a bit of bias on his part but he says my co tank and I feel way sturdier when he heals us, that being bear and war
Vs the pally bros
as in avengers shield doesnt break anything cced but no other tank has that same respect given pally is blizzards baby and will allways be good, i cannot think of as single patch in the last few years where one paly spec weasnt totaly busted

Is anvil better than the wowhead guide gives it credit for?
Yes
is Ward of Faceless Ire anywhere near being good for warrior?
I've used it because I had nothing else and it's a nice little life saver on some fights. Just prevents me from asking for an external occassionaly but, I'd rather have damage.
defensive trinkets talk is forbidden here
JFC can I see your logs? I need to learn how to play
Verity Iβd be happy to share but my logs have a lot of miss playing in them
Theres better players to compare to than myself
What's that? Heroic?
Yes
I spend a lot of time walking in Echo
You probably need to press shield slam way more
You're doing fine for week 2 mate.
And also press revenge more to prevent rage cap vs ip
Also could be your trinkets
Could be not having 2pc or 4pc
Could be your groups kill way to slow
Lots of variables
whats the name of the item for flame patch
Shadowflame armor patch
My biggest issue is wasting like 60% of my outbursts. I kind of hate it. I think it's cool but... Urgh.
This week got 4p, got higher.
You donβt have to you can just do super mitigation but going down is free
So I would do it
Is shard of rokmora good?
Soon
thesse ones i think
You just do the burn boss strat and valiantly offer to solo the close side while the group kills boss on far side
defensive trinket talk is forbidden here
Ok but is it good?
π§
No heals so he can 100% heals too.
no
You could, honestly on heroic you prob want it, but on normal itβs ez
Sadge
Oh youβre posting normal logs hahahaha
what about enchant weapon shadowflame wreath, is that one any good
I have one def trinket so that's not helping a lot, but most logs are with the hyena one
I do more dps than 2 of the dps in my m+ group. I want to uninstall
I canβt lock myself to heroic this week but I think my raid will let me next week
this fight shouldnt be considered in logs (same as KT etc.), as you decide how many adds you spawn, so you can pump more targets for logs
My trinkets are really poopy.
I can beat you
I can tell just by your gear alone you will not be parsing high. You could play perfectly. Youβre missing:
Pogstorm
Eggnog ring
Annulet
St trinkets
No hate at all itβs just reality
got that second one 444 on my vault this week but needed tier
The other is 441
What's poggstorm?
Forgestorm from Nelth
its totally fine brew, he can just out gear all that stuff u mentioned
Forgestorm from neltharus
My heroic logs suck π’
Oh, that will be a hard one to get on drop, my chance will be vault.
Pretty much on par with myself so youβre killing it! I need to get a sark kill haha
HAHAHA jakey
This guys steadily top 10 like every season trying to be casual about it
Lolololol
brah their garbage atm cant get a clean rashok to save my life
trinkets combo? Beat that 
should I use eggnog instead of these ones for deeps?
Yes
Now I feel silly for spending crests on rings
Well no
Annulet + eggnog ring
Ah got it
Because we should've been calling it eggnog since day 1
i have been calling it eggnog since day 1
Sucks that I dont have many trinkets to choose from
Same you started it
but everyone called it dirunas
I copped it
for some reason
Eggnog owns
you have storm and grief???????
Yeah just use storm and grief torch for ST
I still use grief torch and whetstone
For raid
and like vendor the decoration
like yesterday
lol
guys i have a question. Can earthen shards from 3rd boss in uldaman be dispelled or sthing? i see this is what the healers are struggling with the most
I ran a 10 target 40 second lust sim last night comparing annulet to my Crit/haste ring and the stat ring won by almost 10K lol
Itβs not even close in aoe
@solid sun fyi
Thatβs the boss youβre supposed to drag through the sand puddles right?
ya
ye
just drag him good and the boss goes well for me everytime
but its a bleed iirc, so evokers can get rid of it
I see, thanks, the first season I was pretty chill with this expac. Now I'm getting more competitive
Sounds like a job for stone form
yeah and dwarves ofc
Tried uld 16 last night. Poor hpal couldn't keep up
hmm
Dps falling over left and right. It wasn't a good time
Hpal is one of those classes that the player is either a god, or struggles
sounds like she got damage buffed perhaps dragging didnt go ideally
Yeah hpal healing is different
also storm bolt works on her to remove her orbs
19 uld was impossible
You donβt have a on demand heal really so if youβre not good at generating hpwr you will suffer
That snake boss bleed is insane
? I just +2 uld 19
The pelter mobs in the dungeon rotation are brutal. And the higher you go, the worse it gets
Yeah I tried 20uld Monday night before reset and it absolutely smoked me
.-.
this week much easier imo
bout to run my first nelth of the season on my pally. who wants to bet I get forgestorm
the trash in uldaman is really what sucks
Bolstered bassi bois clap cheeks
Yeah I agree. Uld trash is worse than bosses
Bet you don't, hope you do.
Esp those time wyrm dudes near the end and the pelters
is forgestorm good for prot pal too? it is right?
I try to avoid the wym dot by running from them. I'm not always successful
it's certainly better than the 408 weapon I have now
i run one key a week on this toon
I haven't crafted S2 stuff on it
who else on the "used wrong crest" on craft train?
running a 398 shield lmao
I wasted a spark upgrading the wrong item.
I have half a spark, can't get another half to drop yet
what is wasted about it
you're aware that you can just like use the right crest and have it recrafted, right?
yeah just recraft
He has food on his shield for the free embellish instead of the new fire dmg
and recraft, but I have so much shit to upgrade and can't run enough m+ with my free time
Technically he spent 3 wyrm crests for nothing but itβs very small L dont Worry
flavor pocket is just fine
One more week and weβll have way more than we will ever need
a lot of people run pocket on shield
I can just put it elsewhere no?
pocket on shield actually better for me since i play arms too want my embelishments on gear both specs use
Prolly already there now tbh
GOOD LUCK
is the uhhhhh sark cape even good for tanks, i feel like the negative stamina sucks
stam sucks
now that im pushing high keys, like rokmora first boss of neth lair kinda really hurts on +17 plus and i feel i could get global'd if i don't have more stam xdd even through ignore pain/spell reflect
well +17 isnt high and if your dying on that fight your doing something wrong
like moving in the purple ground
Iβm planning to do Crit/haste neck with pocket next week
Do you kill the adds?
or not moving out of the frontal
yeah legit just move out of the cone
nvm i'm stupid
Jakey are you telling me Iβve been hard trolling rockmora?
The cone is 50% of the damage on that fight, 25% is the add exploding if not dead, and 25% is green goo
yes @dusky canopy
Iβve been rotating defensives and standing in the frontal
are you getting one shot on rokmora
everybody learns
nice way to tell ppl u didnt play legion
Get GoblinSpeak
It'll tell you how to play every boss
every pack
and when you can dodge shit
Hahaha I did actually just was very noob at the time
Then you just payphone it
I didnβt start to excel until bfa
Goblintalk?
the razor shards likes to come out while the mess on the floor is encouraging you not to move a lot, so i can see it being easy to confuse.
that's what I meant ye
I know you can sidestep it because it's the same skill that the trash uses also
But I played legion so ye
the penetrating shards from the crystal mobs you can NOT sidestep, it tracks
Iβm actually face palming right now
LMAO
Lololβ¦.
Lmao,
It's not the same skill
i knew everything from the totem pad trick to moltern reflect to cragpsawn insta cc
didnt knwo that xd
Yeah I tend to do that
how did you side step it and not notice the big ass bleed still applied?

I mean, I try to move sideways not around it
You guys want to know what other troll Iβve been doing in 20HOI
NOT letting the frog eat me
yo
Literally did it for the first time last night
lmao I did that on my first 20
LOL
I just hate the pulls and blame on the other mobs
i feel like frog and treemouth consume shit might as well be tank every time now
man y'all wildin
Dude I learn as a I go
silence jordan
Itβs more entertaining
I always stand on that circle to get eaten, I get eaten like 25% of the time
I legit don't know how it works
if no one gets eaten there's an enrage buff
It just gives 4 stacks of poison
well if someone else stands in the circle with you it's a burger flip
Learned the hard way about blazing slashes and basilisk chomp
we flipping at baron baby let's go
Itβs more fun boys
But does the small frogs matter at all
yep
Or you just get them eaten to kill them faster?
they matter to the rest of the group
Having a slow and kiting then into the boss insta deletes
if you can get them eaten it just helps manage them yes
when he gulps
but you don't have much control of that
Gotta hope your team aren't mankis
So even if you get all the frogs in, you should get eaten to prevent the enrage?
Wait, you want the frogs to get eaten?
As long as Iβm not your tank up until last night anyway
is that worth over losing T29 2 piece?
Youβll be good in frogger boss
I used to think the little things were bugs and I'd tell people that frogs like bugs so bring them to the middle of the boss and then I realized he's literally eating his children.
yup, just tried lmfao in a lowbob +15 smh... all this time look at that...
i'm not aware of there being a certain number of frogs he eats to prevent the enrage, i think it has to be a player, yes.
No. 2 pieces that are +15 ilvl make it worth to drop 2pc
Check pins
I have a "your mom" joke but I'll pass on that one
You can spell reflect that btw. Even though sometimes I've still been eaten, no clue why
Best part about this screenshot is the wind fury totem icon
Love to see it
i hadn't noticed that. does it?
Don't think so, will try next time
what does it reflect?
so if i have a item for the other piece does that mean?
i don't.. think so. will try and test it next time.
ok let me know
Stupid question: is the TW raid farmable? I haven't been on yet to see but there's some good stuff for guildies in there.
He doesn't enrage, he gets a shield. Hoi frog enrages
the benefit of the tank getting eaten is the dps breaks you out like insta if they are pumping
@jagged pier ngl I was a total lfr hero up until bfa where all of a sudden the game clicked and I started doing 15s and heroic raid, then in SL bumped up to low 20s and some casual mythic
treemouth will def get angrier
Hm, didn't pay enough attention to treemouth then, just casually slammin' him from in his belly
Mythic
Starving Frenzy β Angered by the missed meal, Treemouth enrages. Damage done is increased by 150% and haste is increased by 20% for 3 min.
Missed meal
Respect for clicking on BfA
So, if not soaked
Aye
will have to try that.
What would you take guys,any suggestion?
might be i did it on accident last time tbh
tier if you don't have it. ominous trinket if you do.
don't know the boots/shoulders off hand, probably should just sim it
Is Irideus good for prot/arms?
I think ill do hc/normal raid first and if im unlucky and dont get any tier ill just go for tier,i have 3p now
do you have ksm tier?
irideous is not good for warrior in general i believe
i have it in bags,waiting for the 3rd piece to use it
Does Anvil sim ok for us? I ask this cause I remember an enhancement friend of mine saying something that anvil isn't simming correctly for them (or wasn't)
sims don't account for the combat dropping your ramp on it, i believe
so the solution is just to chain pull, clearly
fair
s'pose you could just only do like 1.5 minute AoE sims to compare
im not sure if i like neltharus or not
I'm not AWARE of any other issues, but maybe i missed something.
not the worst dungeon, seems like could be problem dungeon on fort
anyone knows where i sign for Firelands raid?
fortified blazing slash is definitely a bit of an adventure
well, i got hammered by the smith boss, forgot to do the shield cuz im smith
you? or your party?
and then we wiped to final boss after almost wipe to the trash before it
the risky part of smith boss looked like the party rot to me
tank damage didn't seem to be a huge deal
im still alot confused by final boss, first 2 bosses i can understand easily
prot warr can also place the puddles super conveniently stacked up
just time the leap/charge back.
I usually mess up the charge back, and he ends up puddling the middle π€£
final boss = slap shield w/ treasures ASAP.
yes, puddling is now a verb
don't stand in things.
if you time your charge correctly, he will create the circle behind where you land and it cant hit you
you can just walk out too
Is Menace worth it for this week so I can at least hit Intim to lock up one of those ghosts as an emergency?
he does a knockback right before and pretty much right as he does it you charge
in an emergency pummel or stormbolt are the tools i'd think
Yeah, but I'm more thinking of "I can solve this problem with one button press"
Not "boy I hope these pugs follow up"
You spend your entire kit just trying to lock up one of the two and even then it's not long enough
Is a 15s CC not long enough?
So that and a bolt are enough
incorp lasts 20s i think yeah
That's a far cry better than hoping.
no no
yeah + bolt would work
ideally you just have to stare at them and watch someone else handle it
ALL
