i dont think abvil sucks brother
ANvil is one of our best ST trinkets
It is not, what
No aoe value at all, and if you can’t keep your stacks up throughout the whole dungeon it’s useless
Then get better at pulling
It does around 3-5% its not bad in anyway for dungeons
And its great in ST
And in dungeons u generally dont wait before a boss so your going into them with 5 stacks
So its huge value
are you guys running eggnog ring in m+
anvil is pretty neat for tyrannical weeks, but if the pacing is too much for your healer it can cause friction
I mean, we also do ST in raid o_O
It’s about m+ not raid
12 seconds should be more than enough time between packs, unless your healer is slow or doesn't drink effectively
I specifically said "anvil is one of our best ST trinkets" and you said it's not
which is objectively false.
Idk dude did I reply to you or to the guy that pinged me?
yah I am wearing mine too
I mean, we both basically said the same thing, just in a different way.
"anvil is one of our best ST trinkets"
"anvil is giga" same difference
?
If someone asks about m+, and then says „it’s giga“ it’s m+ and not for st, is it
Like
If you can’t read and think everything is about you idk
Don't gotta make it personal dude lol
Ofc
You are far from the first person to call me that, don't worry
i think we can all agree we all want a anvil
me want
or mark too
yeah me want mark
but 37 runs so far no mark for me
lmao ya
many die to the hands
their hands arent quick enough to escape the hands
What in the nerd rage is going on in here
Somebody trying to say Nome is wrong about anvil sims
Lolololol
how do you get the key on the pirate ship
Click it
kil captain near steering wheel on top deck
dont see it
No one saw those fireland loot nerfs coming right? Right?
Also wtf they buffed forgestorm? 
They buffed forgestorm - man i love that
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm amazed they buffed pogstorm. Do they even play their own game???
where yall see this
wowhead
On wowhead
God bless, I need all the dps I can get when goobers miss their CC on Incorp
You should unmute the news channel; they have a wowhead webhook in there
Can see all the new articles shortly after they're posted.
hell yeah dude
just in time
That's how I see them now
i was already gonna farm pogstorm all day today
Smf inc Kappa
Buffing pog storm is..... Stupid
Cool. But I have to ask. Why? In it's current state it's already leaps ahead of the crafted 1h weapon regardless of embellishment used on it
Maybe Prot palas complained they got no damage?
pretty neat!
They should push more buttons 😉
Only Warriors are complaining about lack of damage atm, pal.
Hunter makes this affix a joke until they forget Scare Beast is a thing
Sure we are, but Nobody cares about our damage
Until the tank gaps them every pull
ive grouped with like 5 paladins and haven't seen a turn evil yet so idk
It's truly not
they buffed forgestorm?
it's like one row down 
Got a ret pal today without turn evil, and he cried because we wiped with the new affix
lol WE GOT OUT BUFF BOYS
id imagine its like dropping barbaric training for another stop as fury, which is like not even 1% damage
It's just reroller syndrome unfortunately
Tell ya right now
repentance is where its at
After I'm done with clearing the heroic raid this week I'm spamming keys
I'll have turn evil AND rep
osnap
Btw would love to change the affix so our stuns got Like 300% duration while hitting the mobs
that a true gamer right there
Cuz I'll fuckin' do it myself
I still feel like there should be cast delay on an interrupt
but with proper play it's a non-affix
It's about time paladins got some rp back
The holy warriors of light for the last several xpacks haven't had shit to do that the class should have to do. Like turn evil
still on 6/7 campaign
kill sark
says raise your renown
You gotta kill sark for last campaign chapter
is there a die security in Brackenhide?
its such a bummer you can't have both the nelth's lair trinkets on the same loot table
I can't decide which one to target first
damage
I guess mark+anvil would be pretty neat as a combo
I'm gonna rock beacon and mark
i would have liked to get anvil from the bag, but whatever
beacon is definitely bigger number, but is anvil the ethical damage?
I need some big boys @steady karma @strong forum or anyone , do we play Brutal Vitality or Fueled by Violence in 21+ keys and up, if so would we play bloodborne to increase healing of FbV
wat is ethical damage
non pad
if there are 5 mobs but 1 has more health, you do key faster to do more priority damage to that one big health mob
thought you said it in general
You should probably play Dance of Death
man idgaf what you play as Prot, just hold fuckin aggro


Archimtiros in our prot channel
Archi, how you feel about those incorps eating targets 
😉
love your name
@warm plinth wasnt mentioning about you there brother
Thank you!
but its 25% more DAMAGE
Oh it's cool didn't think you were
does it not buff free revenges (I'm not meme genuine q)? for Barbaric T
it does, but it was still generally a bad idea in s1, especially in single target
had some parselord applications in multitarget situations
wait is forgestorm buff real
yeah, they don't play their own game
you can still reduce a key if you want right
i might just reset all my keys to 11 for a while
NPC in Valdrakken
Don't play BB outside of meme content
And I've found that brutal vit is still better
fuckin gottem
is there a good way to measure brv any way... does it show up in logs at all
I guess compare ip uptime/amount absorbed in similar runs?
Entirely based on feelycraft
The added 2-4k hps of raw healing isn't doing much when you're getting your ass handed to you
yeah thats true, fbv seems to be a trickle
Getting 15% absorb leech however can change a bit more, especially given that you have indom and 12%+ actual leech
and the points you made about ip and bleeds even seem strong
I thought fbv was gonna do more based on the buffs it received, but all it does is take value away from leech indom and external healing
You can only have so many sources of trickle healing until one of them just becomes superfluous
makes sense
how low is low for inviting ppl to pugs
Level 69 is too low
i dunno what ilvl is new low for this season to safely invite
That's about it
You fuck. Why did I laugh at that? 😏
400-410 should be ezpz for wyrm level
i got halls of infusion which im afraid of
i wouldnt bother that much
+18 bracken. 4set bonus dmg is making me think about it
finished the dg with 75k overall btw
its dps is kinda meh eh
i think on the top right is the thing i can clikc as engineer
@strong forum earthen smash
If you go left you get cheat death
what makes you so scared btw
right side is shortcut
yea go rside
i don't k now the depths of the dungon
frost drakes are the same with cragmaw frontal - 15 yds backsteppo
icecaller's spell reflection
back step spear flurries etc
key level btw?
Do you guys have problem recognising spitefull and other affix creature, and not mistaking it for mob that we have to get aggro on? Most cases it’s ez because spitefull spawn at the end when agrro is well established, but sometimes in tight areas or some chain pulls or just some fast paced gameplay like freehold can be, it’s just confusing and nothing annoys me more then seeing this colour of name plate, colour of no aggro. I have tried changing colour of it, in my plater, with no success, I wonder if anyone else have a problem like this or a solution .
I've had a plater mod that made explosive nameplates tiny before (or the inverse) so I'd imagine there's something similar for spiteful
I just pump and end up with aggro so I usually assume the spiteful mob is the red one
having aggro issues at the end of a pull is usually a bigger problem than figuring out if the spiteful mob is the one
yep
breath = ow
Just walk away 🤷♂️
LOLOLOL never would of thought arch would get pinged up in Prot, this man’s wildin
it was the only death i had in the whole run
everything else went perfect, loads of avoidable death pulls for dps
but we made it
I didn't see this in the FAQ explicitly, but what abilities/spells do you not bother putting on your bars as prot? Slam? Whirlwind?
yes
never use slam or whirl wind
shield slam and revenge are superior replacement spells in every way
Any other spells that are not worth using at all or having on bars?
blizzard should do warriors a favor and delete WW and slam from our baseline abilities page is my opinion
like for prot
can take rend off, thunderclap applies rend if you have blood and thunder talent which you most likely will want
Yogi I need you to stream or record your runs for content
usually what ends up happening when i run under rot is i do this
just, W through trash tackling fear/worm problems head on before they become issue wipe group
the worms still destroy pugs
the audio will be bad again but
Any tips or suggestions for managing stacks of the bleed on mythic forgotten experiments outside of just clearing every time the debuff drops?
Pucker butthole, pray your healers love you
The dot trucks, especially when boss 2 & 3 are down
frog boss did a ton of dmg to our group
I pull all of that except 22 and the defiler in 19
https://i.imgur.com/GdV5U1i.png thanks mr timewalking
Do you happen to know if curse of weakness, numbing, etc impact how frequently the dot is applied or is this a boss that just ignores melee speed reduction
I don't know, sorry
lucky

huge pog
some dude is sitting on his motorcycle outside my apartment unit and it wont start
kek
been trying to get ti to go for about 2 minutes now
it just keeps turning but not startin lol
bigly upgrade for Prot, I was rolling around with a fuckin' 408 All-Totem and a 415 Big Toe
yogi why you ignore my stream ocmment
My ppal got one from vault this week; I was still using a 415 burgeoning seed that I was stuck with literally all of S1 🙃
pog
it got so bad at points i thought about telling them to use an earth ele or use my saviours
i dunno how those work and they are also only rank 2

👍🏻
i wouldn't expect to see the video on your end for about like 6 hours probably
maybe more depending, just estimation from times i have uplaoded video before
That's fine, just post or DM me the link when it's done
like i said, if i go run underrot and there is deaths or even wipe, there is no real confusion for me and i can normally turn it around
u got this yogi
gotta get more veteran items better ones i mean
so i can get better sets of 224 gear
wat u get in ur vault
anyone have a macro for def stance to battle stance for prot war
did you check the pins
ty
why need macro for dstance, just make it big and hit the button when needed
why click them when u can keybind them
i mean like, do you macro and key bind ur speical action button bars too then and dragon flight combat abilities?
for how often you actually need to use dstance it cant be justified to be clicked or a normal keybind?
I have special action buttons bound, yes
not me really no
i only really click dstance (battle stance back later) and maybe giga taunt if im really too lazy to hit numpad's + key
- on numpad is for battlerez, heroism, super important spells, bubble i think itr might be too
YO worth! Gz!
DOes the new 4P make last stand a more offensive CD? ie push it on CD rather than waiting?
yes
figured as much, ta
Is it me or does Rashok really hurt on a warrior lol
wat u mean
are you guys able to cancel last stand?
speak for yourself homie
i just wanna loot a hero piece of gear for chest/boots 😦 441 atm, they just wont drop
plenty of pulls in keys where i'd want the aoe cleave over LS
So just...use it at the start of the pull? Or the end of the previous pull?

if you pop it at start you'd have to hold your other shit to line it up
You don't line up CDs anyway...
or just have it come out without ur other cd's which is a waste
You press them on CD
why would you not press your CD's together if you're able to
I mean...literally all of them but Avatar and Last Stand overlap naturally.
theres plenty of scenarios where you have avatar/demo going into a pull
and you would want the 4p bonus right away
creating cancel last stand macro now
classic
obv the answer is never cancel because they apparently wont let us
Siri what is 15% + 15%
it gives you 15% on top of the 15% you always get
which is irrelevant to the conversation of cancelling LS

Looking for a SARKARETH build or some recommendations around talents. Is spell block helpful if so what abilities? Thanks
Check pin comment for blockable spells
Oh wow more then I expected. Worth it?
You should be swapping in and out for some bosses imo
Spell block works on the tank buster so yeah
So skimp enduring Def maybe?
No, you'd give up instigate
Or punish, though that would be kinda counterproductive lol
i dont always cancel abilities, but when I do, I ensure its last stand so I get that sweet shockwave effect
Stinky reddit incel nagger doesn't even know how to do math
Any chance you have a link a build having a hard time sorting out what to give up to get SB
Oh, in the raid build you probably give up Unnerving Focus for it
Sorry, forgot the raid build doesn't take Instigate this tier anyway
Thanks sir got it with that
They buffed forgestorm???
weird that the official patch notes only mention the pvp damage reduction
Yeah I thought that was weird too but a friend of mine said the 10% buff is still in the spelldata
anyone have spell id for earthen tenacity?
ok ty!
90210
Oh is that all? 

Gonna be a long one for me as well but not that long
Does anyone know what the macro is to use this trinket on allies?
does that not work?
I'm not sure you can use mouseover conditional with a use command (could be wrong). Try changing it to /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][]Ward of Faceless Ire
god fucking damnit
nop
/use should be fine with mouseover
/use [@mouseover] 14 should work for that specific case
miss bonus rolls
all i remember from bonus rolls is "use bonus roll?" "yes" "money!"
nop
i mean it definitely does work, I don't know what's going on in your situation
yeah, it should work. I'll check with another pj. Maybe some addon or something is interfering.
Yes, yes it is
Does Spell Block help out with Infused Strikes debuff on Experiments?
It's a dot so not really
Nope. I believe Sense said that one and Zskarn are basically at the mercy of the healer for pwar
I didn't think so, and the spreadsheet that I have with all SR and SB stuff it didn't have it listed. Just double checking.
Shall we always try to line up demo shout & Avatar? Depending on rage available they often have quite a bit of delay between them
hi make it sense to put anvil last stand and Avatar in a macro for Burst?
Anvil will prob get most value combo'd with shield charge and avatar if you run battering ram.
No, you send CDs on CD
Should I just macro shield slam to basically everything ?
Thanks =)
#showtooltip
/cast Avatar
/cast shield charge
/cast Last Stand
/use Vial of Animated Blood
i mean like this
to get most burst
But..their CD's don't line up.
i got every second charge/Avatar the trinket also
should i upgrade my unstable belt or make a boots w/ shadowflame first?
Mouseover macro's don't work if you keybind them to one of those mmo mouse buttons in the side. You know the Scimitar or Naga mice.
That might be it?
Finally 4pc 
Shadowflame does way more damage for me in m+ than unstable
Id grab it before upgrading stinky frostfire belt
forsure ty
have logitec g203
and yes is bind in m4
@ionic fern hi ily
Good morning Ghash, how are you?
I am pretty sure I live here at work now, but otherwise I am alright.
I think the warehouse is just understaffed right now due to call-ins and people on medical leave
And I'm stuck here until they're finished so
that'll probably be the reason why it doesn't work. Don't ask me why, but those "extra mouse buttons" don't work with @mousover stuff
workaround is using the clique addon (or so I've been told)
Other workaround is to rebind your m4 to any other key on your keyboard, and then it works. It's still the same button but the game doesn't care anymore as it is detected as a keyboard button
other workaround is play the game the way that our lord and saviour Ion Hozzikostas, aka Watcher, aka Gurgthock intended.
Is their a way to macro like Thunder Clap and shield slam together? Like if Thunder clap procs shield slam itll just auto cast shield slam or is a c/astsequence the closest im a get to that?
dang thats what i figured but had to ask
I’m already tired of tyrannical
Tyranical is push week
Just tryna farm a pogstorm and 2.4k+ players from last season can’t dodge a charge
Which charge?
The mammoth in neltharus lmao
🤦♂️
It IS a big elephant, cut them some slack! 
And all the melee always making bee lines straight into the lava frontal even if they dodge the charge
Gotta finish them casts
Double tap on stupid players
I basically don't do keys unless I can have at least 2 guildies in the group.
Knowing that my co-tank has Forgestorm has lit a fire under me though. I want it now.
What key level does hero drop at again?
17
Guess no point farming it unless it’s nelth 17
Aye, 17'a are in the realm of "Pay attention but, it's easy enough" for my guild currently. Few of us doing 20+... Not me, I can't be arsed until it's faceroll but, I should be able to get some gamers together.
Thanks Jakey
I just started my warr and I feel so powerless on just 15s already
Feels like I can’t carry hard enough even typing out mechanics to ppl
Especially them ragnaros and azralon players
Lol jk
You can only Rally Cry once ever 3 minutes mate. 😂
I love the echo of nelth trinket that cocoons people
I had to save this healer on vortex pinnacle every damn pull
Reminds me of old school ranged intervene
I have Screaming Black Dragonscale and Enduring Dragonplate... I suppose the 1,100 crit from Screaming is nice but, enduring feels bad to play with.
Remember when we used to put spell reflect on people 😂
Especially after bangers like Decoration and Grieftorch.
I'll say it again! Bring back Vigilance!
Hello!
Im new here and i have a question about crafting. I have crafted sword and sheild onmy prot warrior and i have 1 more embellishment i can craft. I can really find and cant decide what to craft next to put my tempered shadowflame thing on. What do you think is the best piece to craft?
Shouldn’t have crafted weapon imo but it’ll be fine

I did shadowflame on a primal shield and frostfire belt
I did shadowflame on shield and shadowflame on belt
Thanks for the quicks awnsers and i will check the pinned information! 😄
So I might be late to the party on this... but seems like a really slow week to get key groups, guessing it's because that new affix is a trainwreck?
New affix seems pretty meh
And tyra weeks are generally a pain because some bosses are really hard
I'm finding this week harder than the first, and my gear is way better than it was then ><
I think the new affixe is bind to one of the mobs when you start a fight, beacuse yesterday in neltharions lair when i played it the affix just dissapered
I think it only appears during combat
we played with a mage and that made it alot easier
Hey; what m+ keylevel should i jump in to at ilvl 420? i did +20's last season pretty ez.
Had a group (I didn't put it together) with very minimal CC, so ended up just pulling into the next room anytime one of them spawned if we didn't have enough CC available :x
And at 420? Really depends. You might be able to manage 16+, but getting invites will be challenging because people are picky and will tend to invite higher ilvl.
thx ill give it a try with some lower keys and work my way up to get a feel
If combat ends, the incorp will disappear.
aah okey that makes more sense 😄
Warlock can handle it all but, I've found a distinct distaste for my Warrior arse this week with my "awesome" CC.
Yeah
i'm having so much problem with heroic sark very difficult.. i'm ilevel 429 at the moment
whats killing you?
going into swirlys.. when i try to avoid it.. then other tank dies cos i didn't tuant or something
and when i did tuant everyone end up dying then they all had a go at me
well yea if you get sent to the other realm when you arent supposed to, thats bad. Doesnt matter what your ilvl is
well i try to watch out for that by not touching the swirly
then the other tank also was saying i'm not taunting off his void claws.. which i try to but i end up jumping to his spot.. going out from the big circle.. then everyone died cos of tank bomb etc
i know the transition is making boss go to the middle while they bait the blossom at the mirror. then tanks meant to face boss away from the raid
i'm having issues trying to taunt and also taking care of the adds cos they just go everywhere
i see most ppl have ilvel 435 or so to tank this and dont get killed by it.. is my ilevel 2 low
i'm wondering where i should come back next time when i have higher ilevel and i'm only have 2 piece of tier gear
you die to machanics done wrong, it sounds like.
i did it ok on normal idont know why .. this is giving me problems
is just that i'm having issues holding aggro
HC is much harder than normal. You need to execute mechanics along with your co tank
The push pull phase is such a pain in the ass with tank positioning also, it took me like 20 pulls to get used to it
maybe the other tank ilevel is too high i can't get grab aggro off him
is there a weakaura that tells u that the other tank has void claws.. because i can't see it on my weakaura when i download the co tank for aberus
i just rely on looking at the spell cast
but at the same time trying not step on stuff and hitting adds
You can try dropping your spell effects setting to “necessary” or w.e it’s called . It’s helped me on fights needing to see ground effects clearly
put cotank on focus always and you cna see his debufs...
thx i will have to try that
going to take a look at more of pov on prot war
for heroic.. :(
In big wigs you can set a timer for the tank hit, so you are reminded to taunt
Or you can get the cotank weakaura
If you can put less attention to that, then you can put more attention into dodging shit
Default Taunt sound requires [URL]https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/sharedmedia_causese[/URL] Make sure your master v
If you're losing aggro at 429 you aren't pressing Shield Slam enough. I can tell you that.
Like others have said, I echo setting the other tank as focus target and using Aberrus Co-Tank Weakaura.
dbm does that
or big wigs i guess
You can also see it on the basic raidframes 
Is the shadowflame patch good for m+ or purely ST?
Mostly ST I'd say
Got my first golden parse last night
But even in M+ it's 5+% of my DPS
The assault boss fight seems easy to parse
What.
That's horrible to parse.
Unless your whole raid team actively ignores adds.
And you get to pad.
Because i have a 441 sheild from raid and was gunna make ff belt at 447 next week. Prot is my OS so im tryin to see how i can spend . If i should get 447 sheild or 447 ff belt
My main goal is m+ due to irl conflictions on raid
Shadowflame is still good.
So shadowflame patch + allied wrist wouldnt be a bad option? Remember fury MS so i already crafted 2 pieces for fury
Figured since im 440 fury ilvl i can work on prot stuff
Also im new to prot warr and tankin higher keys is my goal. So im still a baby tank 🤣
Shadowflame + Frostfire.
That's what the "general" go-to is.
If you only wanna craft one and use w/e you have as the second one, then Shadowflame.
Gotcha. Yeah im just tryin to see if shadowflame is worth it over ff belt first or ff belt first then wait for next flame and make patch sheild
Thank you thank you ❤️
And if i read correctly, i basically send last stand on CD since shield slam lowers the CD on it?
with tier
without, no 😉
(well, you can still send it on cd without tier+bolster, but, that's .... not really beneficial lol)
Im 4p. So thats a yea then. Thank you ❤️
There is a way, u send everyone far to push the boss and u stay close to pad
All depends on how fast you can phase him as well. If tanks tank boss on mystic when he hops over, just cleave off boss
I don't think I was padding. Just doing my job controlling adds and boss leaps. Scored a 95
Tbh got Beacon and its an easy way to pull Aggro from the other tank
Pretty pleased with myself, even tho that encounter seems easy for me to parse high scores
when do people usually bloodlust on Sarkareth?
Tonight I'm going to push my shield as high as I can. Finally got a spark last night
My side usually has a ret, a ww monk, fury warrior and an enhance shaman. The adds just get blasted into oblivion
P3
👌
parses on assault are most meaningless in this tier
time to test anvil with dargrul
this was from 16+ uldaman and ominous + dargrul did pretty awesome
finished 64.6k
did arond 42k ish on bosses
i'll compare anvil + dargrul with that
how does one handle the chomp from basilisk in ulda
I block it 
spellblock??
Stun, fear, or RUN haha jk
If only i had any say in raid positioning/padding topics.

that video is unlisted
i figured i'd share since someone asked for stream
audio is scuffed until 13-ish minutes
do charms from the event work in raid and m+?
Can't find a shield to match it 😦
double patch of shadowflame
i also have the same issue with that haha
The set in HC is pretty cool looking ngl
this one is from halls of infusion +18, and i've used dargrul + anvil. the one that i quoted is ominous + dargrul
can anyone explain how the Pillar bait works in Sarkareth?
Roiling shadowflame 6.3% wtf 😄
this was the Halls of infusion 3rd boss, reached 5x anvil stacks on pre-pull trash fight
is that with 2 of them?
Yeah, i've crafted it on boots and legs. 447-437
3rd boss details
it feels like every shield slam i used counted as x2
since this week is tyrannical i believe dargrul + anvil can be a good call? dargrul is good for both packs and bosses
during dummy phase i was around 63k on single target. once we ran back to ice cubes for avoiding avalanche damage boiled down
perhaps ominous with haste buff + anvil might be more ST pumper
Hello all. Is there any Tier pieces we should be avoiding? I already have a hands (I do not raid) and I have a KSM token. Trying to figure out what to use it on
Legs don't have haste
Not saying you should avoid them, but it's something to think about
Thank you
I checked logs and it looks like attack speed reductions work on forgotten experiments. And apparently it stacks, so if you have both lock and a rogue, they can use curse of weakness + numbing poison and the swingtime goes from around 1.5 to like 2.1.
No clue about the dk attack speed reduction tho, don't think any dk plays with it
Man I'm loving having ITF in both raid and m+ builds.
So. Many. Ss. Resets
I love when it resets multiple times in a row
Correct, curse and poison have always stacked
Sorry, what's ITF? I don't know the acronyms.
I'm gonna do this on our next clear against them
If you have 2 rogues you should always be using atrophic + MN poison
We have 0 rog in our roster atm
We also have 0 dk. Both make me sad. I like having a dps dk in raids. They bring some good utility and often don't require much from healers
My group runs wed/mon
Ooh nice! I think I've been running Heavy Repercussions for the SB extension and rage generation. Is it worth switchgin?
Ymmv. I haven't noticed a y issues keeping sb up without hr
Of course. Might be worth trying, though, especially for M+
Do you know if insidious chill from DK stacks up the attack speed reduction even higher?
Probably? I just know that the rogues have been talking about stacking MN and curse since Sludgefist
Depending on the boss, Atrophic does less damage mitigation overall than mind numbing does
hey everyone , after how much haste should i start stack versa or the other stats?
There's no (feasibly reachable) point where you specifically stop gunning for haste and swap to other stats
I "thought" that we kinda stopped actively going for it when you got 40% haste pre-buffs, so purely from stats.
Then again, I think I read here that even that "breakpoint" isn't much to be worried about
I'm at 50% now (with ITF active), and it feels very nice 🤣
after 40% it becomes less better for us
but that margin is small anyway, so you still get it if it doesn't gimp you (haste)
Is anyone running Show of Force for M+
The Revenge bonus dmg plus the increased clap dmg seems like it'd be good for all the mob pulls.
esp. since Sudden Death is just single target and doesn't provide any other benefit, it seems.
In m+ ya I definitely run show of force
I'm finally comfortable enough in the class that I feel like I wanna tweak my spec a bit to be the most efficient for M+ (I don't raid, sadly).
Sounds good there’s a build in the pins that is pretty solid for m+ I mostly run it
Spell block is useful, though, I thought.
I never use Int. shout because I don't want mobs running into other packs.
but thats pretty close to best mythic + build you can get, (this is with 2pc season 1. 1 pc season 2)
finally, someone who speaks my language
lol! I mean, if you've got the space for them to run, sure, but then that separates them from AoE/Cleave dmg, and any dmg is likely to break the fear anyways, right?
I use int shout a ton
One of prot warr’s greatest strengths in m+ is our various ways to stop mobs from casting. interrupting shout’s value is in stopping casts the fear is effectively broken by damage very easily and quickly before they are able to run
Hitting it then hitting tc will break it. I usually only use it as an interrupt
Occasionally to have a dmg break for a moment.
With pummel, storm bolt, Shockwave and non fear immune enemies you can lock a caster up pretty well
And since I'm a glorious dwarf I don't have the elf aoe silence (do blood elves still have the aoe silence racial?)
Nah it’s an aoe purge now
never ever liked blood elf besides it gives some casting resource
Int shout is basically a aoe stop the mobs won’t run off and aggro things because theirs so much aoe happening the fear breaks instantly
Brew when did you get a special color name?!
Except when that one mob does
I pug basically everything. So I never count on others to do anything like interrupt etc
I always go in with the mindset that I'll have to do almost everything. It's nice when I don't
Lol… kind of wild how much of an issue people want to make out of the fear
Been pugging for almost 2 decades
And it’s never been an issue
I've yet to have anyone qq about my use of fear
guys in the firelands timewalking are something for us Prot warriors?
I decided to server boost since I like it here, nothing that special

But I've also yet to have a mob get feared into packs this season.
In rlp I had a few fears pull extra
I got a shield transmog and I guess that crit trinket seems cool
But they did nerf it a bit yesterday
Is EU time walking a different xpack from na?
Prob same cata firelands
Literally doesn’t happen unless people aren’t playing the game lol
A single TC for example will break all the fears
Like it’s pretty irrelevant
Yeah, we had our rogue switch to numbing and had curses up all night (previous night we had neither), makes a big difference. Appreciate you looking 
I actually feel the same way about other players.. they can run into mobs and aggro them. Maybe I should just do dungeons alone
If any aoe or cleave is going out and you're not talented Into the etake more dmg before breaking talent. Fear will insta break
Honestly when I'm pugging I already feel pretty alone
Like every time. You can count on it vreaki quick
Same 
Ah you get used to solo pugging
Usually within the first few pulls you can tell if the group was well put together.
Tbh like if you take your time and invite players with similar progress as you you will find a pretty high success rate even solo pugging
Like if everyone has equal or higher progress
I always take my time forming up my keys
“Most of the time” you’ll succeed
Since I'm the tank, and the hardest roll to fill I can be as picky as I want
And if a dps is in a rush and leaves. Oh well. There are plenty more waiting
If you’ve timed let’s say randomly, 40 20s and you fill the group with 4 players who have never timed one yet this season.. what do you expect to happen lol?
Pugging sucks don’t get me wrong but you can try to make the best of it by using some logic
I have a few mindsets when forming.
Full gate keeper where I'll only invite people close to my ilvl and io/completed timed runs score.
And helpful mode where I'll invite lower io and ilvl players to try to get people raiting
Like this week as another example, are you going to fill the group with players who don’t have anything in there toolkit to handle the incorporeal properly? No that would just lead to failure
Hunters galore
It’s kinda beans that the system we have isolates certain specs from week to week but that’s what blizzards giving us so you just make the best of it
Mages are rare right now
I don't see very many enter Into queue when I'm running keys
Arcane freaking owns too so it’s wild to me that they’re so rare
Arcane can literally nuke every two minutes
Like insane nuclear bomb power
I started the xpack as an arcane mage. About a month in I shelved her and moved to tanking full time.
It was impossible to get m+ invites. I'd spend over an hour trying to queue and often ran out of play time for the day and all I did was try to run stuff
Yeah gotta love tier lists
The average wow player worships that shit
They think the game is impossible with specs not in a or s
Yeah, that's really unfortunate.
It's bad in M+, but it's particularly bad for those that want to do rated battlegrounds.
Mean while you get survival hunters and arcane mages or feral druids even doing 150k over all lmao
I'll take a good player in a trash spec over a trash player in a good spec any day.
Even beyond that -- I'll just take a good person any day.
lol
Are the Incorporeal mobs immune to dmg, or can dmg break the hard cc you put on them?
Some abilities are bugged and can break cc
meh
But they are supposed to be immune yes
The two I know of are hunter razor fragments and boomkins twin moons talent
Jakeys screenshot from yesterday talking about it
Does anyone know the duration of bloodmallet st sim?
Standard 5min no?
or maybe the section where you can look that up there
Right, but stuff like thunderclap and roar don't break it, I'm at least happy about that haha
Hi Nome
Sup
I pretty much just formed a habit of pulling the mobs away from them, maybe I just got lucky a few times but the groups I ran yesterday had no problem with them at all
@marble cipher
kinda think they should buff rallying cry in 5 man content sort of like how they buffed certain healing cooldowns in 5 man content. like give everyone 30% temporary health or something
just double it
I want bloodlust
This patch just really showing our group utility is lacking more than ever at least perceived that way
I still think our stops are so strong
There’s not much incentive to bring warrior to high keys but lust would add some incentive
yeah I mean lust would be cool I guess but even something more consistent or unique would be nice
Is it worth bringing anvil in m+ if I cant maintain stacks consistently?
I agree stops are strong we have 4 ways to control a mob if needed
our stops are our greatest strength
If the only thing holding you back is maintaining stacks just use it and practice maintaining stacks
It’s pretty good
Unless you have better options
What is anvil?
Ahhh -- I can't raid, so that makes sense that I don't know what it is, lol.
But what are those better options?
aside from beacon
Anvil sims top2-top3 in ST
but in a key I will probably drop stacks a lot
trying to figure out is it worth still
can maybe pull one from that weekly quest to do 5 heroic dungeons.. at least I think it still can give raid loot
Hmm... okay then. Is it advisable to learn the fights in LFR before trying to PuG normal?
stacks last for 15 seconds so you can totally maintain them if you manage a good pace
Skip lfr from a learning perspective you can literally auto attack and alt tab in lfr
I like to read about the fight on “mythic trap”
And then just throw myself at it and learn
Okay thanks. I'll take a look.
It’ll seem like a load of information you’re mostly only concerned about tank things and what can get you or your group killed
try find a raid in raid finder that is open to new raiders perhaps.. can ask questions in there and stuff. like dont apply to AOTC only raids and crap like that
Like healer dispels?? can’t be asked to learn that LOL
I try to avoid lfr at all costs
california is banning skittles
I'll help friends if they want something there for some reason because tank queues are the best queues. But damn I don't like lfr
I think a better use of time would be pugging normal, rather than lfr
I haven't wiped in LFR on this new raid
Legit tanks can carry the crap out of the content
It's great for the goodie bags
is uldaman's neck the only one with good haste in current season?
I think there’s two
yeah I still think lfr is worth doing for possible tier/other loot pieces if needed
One has mastery one has Vers if I remember correctly
Don’t quote me on that
That’s why I’m doing crafted neck though next week
I mean maybe I shouldnt since I have a high Crit/Vers neck with avoidance
But like
I want more haste

same i never wiped to any raid boss this season expansion i mean Kappa
cuz, i never did any raid bosses, only did like 3 i think maybe on s1 raid
Friends im thinking about an alt tank to play chill keys and stuff. What is also funny beyond brown class?
So....haste should be gunned for til 30%? Or til 40?
Yes 7.1k before buffs
You basically can’t have enough haste
You want some on every item
Ideally
Jesus okay
Haste never falls behind until you cap the GCD iirc
But don't sacrifice ilvl for haste
Haste crit or crit haste is still my goto. I could use some more mastery tho
I'm not gonna remove crit/haste from my crafted shield when I boost it this afternoon
"One has mastery one has Vers if I remember correctly (edited)" - @dusky canopy
I kinda wish crit block scaled better with adding stats

it does... with mastery 🙂
Lol
Crit gang

Do you gamers find you need external dmg reductions on Rashok tank swap?
Like shield wall got me once
But can still be v spooky even with last stand+shieldblock+ignorepain
In HC, I don't need anything. I assume you're talking mythic?
I felt fine on heroic rashok just use wall wheneve it’s up for the tank buster and when it’s not use dstance
You can build your ip before the hits too for some mitigation
i got a feeling imma get clapped in this 14 ur some how
something will go wrong, but i will try
now that i got 4pc just want to make sure i'm understanding best use for last stand here-- we're using it as a buffer for when sb down and sb buff not up, but also offensively more or less on cd to make use of 4pc right?
since it seems like pretty big damage up to use it offensively
Use LS on cooldown
pulling 2 worms at once or not stunning maggot puke or dispelling 10 second diseas stuns are all also death sentances for that key,
the totem too
Use shield block charges accordingly to maintain block uptime
Honestly maggot just walk out of it if needed
so you dont have to check left or right, it looks like they reworked that
just dont do those things then :^)
Hi bull
Is forgestorm even worth as mace nowadays?
+12 halls
I was doing it with 415 or something.
Do you use reflect and keep shield up?

It was like 6% ahead of all other options before the 10% buff, roughly speaking
So yeah it’s good
forgesword owns
Pogsord
i ll watch when im on lunch

Oke. thanks :3
this is the key in question
someone said go stream, so i uploaded the most recent thing i had run
audio scuffed till 13 minutes in, stream audio leaking in
Can someone say if this is a good choice for vault loot ? for tank Talisman of the Cragshaper ilv 441 (trinket from ularaog)
It’s a good defense option yes
You would probably prefer ilvl in a different slot if you have the option, the 441 talisman is farmable
It has its uses in obscenely high keys
(not trying to shame you in any way btw, just trying to say that something is weird)
So you have a log by any chance?
If hes in voice with his co tank you can always have the co tank always take the two opposite debuffs if they have cds for it and you don’t
But that requires more coordination
I like to use wall when I know I’m getting two and I’ll just use dstance when I know I’m getting one
War Should always have a Cd for the combo
If LS or Demo line up cool but don’t sweat that send them on CD
Another step would be to pre LS to boost your ip cap
If you're really getting stepped in
But, rasok shouldn't truck
Not at that ilvl
Unless he's 447 everywhere and using a 296 green shield
LOL
any suggestions for third boss slam on NL
Rip shield
its timing is hard for reflect
You have to watch the dungeon timer to be able to reflect the slam
I think you mean boss 2 yeah?
yeah
Yeah it’s .5 second cast so you either have insane reaction time or you pre cast reflect by watching the dbm/bigwigs timer
dungeon timer - allways after pull / allways after intermition
your looking for Sunder - not Slam
Depending on his nameplates the ability has the slam icon I’m assuming that’s why he said slam
is it possible to stack anvil before doing raid bosses?
You should always be able to reflect the one after he comes back up, as you can precast reflect
in theory yes
but im guessing its not really worth spending 5 minutes to do so
160k crits are nice though
was my thought aswell
No way they allow that right?
mhmm do they count as combat?
as in - in combat
Doesn’t it reset on boss start ?
no
So the dh in my guild lied to me :<
it does run off in around 5 seconds after leaving combat
still it’s 5 min
if not earlier
No it’s 15 seconds
14 sec
Like OWS was
15
wut
Or 15
i just tried on a targetdummy
and timer got to 4
idk maybe it was bugged or i started late
but it felt super fast
just did a m+ def 15 there
are there any WAs that tell you which boss skills to reflect?
or do we gotta use our brains
🧠
I was afraid of that

okay so its okayish to keep up?
in m+ yes
However @thin phoenix there is a list in the pins so you at least know what to look for
how much damage did it end up doing in overalls?
There is a spreadsheet somewhere
there are dungeon where it whil fall of NL/Vap and so on
around 4%
maybe ill just pull it up 2nd monitor everytime i raid
sometimes more
You could create your own weakaura with the spreadsheet. 😄
For me I just memorize what bosses are reflect able first
there is a WA for dungeon stuff
Then over time you learn the ability names
it’s good - but i’ll switch it out for Mark/Thunder or beacon of i’ll ever get them
I just spam spell reflect and when I hear the WUUHTUSSH! I go "WHAT DID I SPELL REFLECT?!" then forget I spell reflected anything after the boss.
I think I’ll still run mark/thunder though once I get them
but i like it better then grapple for example
Maybe oce if the whole group has it
yeah whole group makes a big diff
Yeah it’s like free 250 secondary if all 5 run it
That’ll be late season gaming when everyone’s collected it
If you spell reflect Void Surge does the raid wide damage still happen?
yeah an some classes won’t run it at all
are Heart of thunder and Mark currently the best offensive trinkets from dungeons?
yah I think so
The only proper way to play pwarr
I knew I was playing it right. 👍
Grapner is swimming higher for me than Thunder with Mark
Simming*
Is there a spot that shares decent routes for m+?
i go by dratnos routes and what works for pugs
for neltharus, how do you guys pull those first few packs on the left?
everytime I've pulled first room after the hallway, my healer can't keep us up
the round room right before mammoth boss
are you eating a bunch of the frontal cone or the blazing slash with no mitigation, or are you talking about the mote of combustion/molten core casts that need to be kicked
yah the raidwide dmg
well
your group needs to stop the casts
as a prot warrior you can help a lot but you can't do it all on your own
Keystone guru + names to look for:
dorki, dratnos, taktyks, quazzi, plka, naowh
do you guys usually pull all 3 packs in that room?
i think i'm gonna start just doing 1 + the earth eles
cause yeah like you said, seems to take a lot of trust in the team to help you disrupt
on tyr week, I'm pulling something like this
fort week I separate out the first pull more cuz blazing slash wrecks
You wild for bringing that pat in but yeah it works
It make sense though only adds 1 kick to the pull
i was skipping it at first but the timing has lined up to where it's standing right at the door
so rather kill it than wait around or burn invis pots for just that
I've always hated invis skips lol
does you usually have to kill 1-2 extra packs at the end?
I see you don’t do the 3rd thaum pack
the ones on the sides of the room
Where do you grab the count?
here
y'all can just look at all my shitty non-pro routes lol
i think that pull only has 1 thurm
Yep yep
the pat is one caster and two eles yeah
i mean the whole triple pull only has 1 thurm i think
Peoples brains go poof
on my pull 1? yes
unsure if im just baby sat by playing with a protpal or if im actually remembering things correctly
i think it's the big tall models that make it overwhelming for ppl to look for kicks
the wardens are the scary bit w/ blazing slash really
Yes yes the only kick in your first pull is the thurm
well not the only one
the eles do the molten core too
and if that stacks up it hurts
Instead of doing those 3 with the 2nd thurm pack
oof that phoenix + 2 wardens right before the last boss always scares me
the bird pulls can be dangerous yeah. really needs a prepped healer.
Made up timer on 20 nelt last night pulling last two packs together that was spicy
But we succeeded

2 lavamancers?
i went in to the pair and was like "we can pull this in, right?"
healer said yes
that MIGHT have been a mistake, but technically not a wipe
Yeah it’s a lot of damage but it’s doable
yeah it was all good right up until... um... molten army i think?
You're asking for some singed asshairs
then it started getting rough.
lowkey i like the molten army. more rage generation
The timing on molten army would hit mid firebird
Maybe asked already but anyone else getting “no path available” on Charge in Legacy of Tyr?
i think you mean randomly anywhere and everywhere haha
Ever since the patch there has been invisible path breaks fucking everywhere
You're probably right; i just feel like it shouldnt be too much to ask for 4 other people to like, look at their monitors for 20 minutes you know?
Really fuggs up my flow y’all
pathing has always been a problem for charge and leap but it definitely seems a bit worse rn
The ramp in neltharius and the lady trash pack
ngl, when the brez guy dies and i cant brez I cant help but think the group is like wtf why did i not just bring a prot pal

this week is really showing how awful some dps are
feels bad lately
i run with a resto druid and a feral druid so
Pink boi bad
meh, whatever.

I just realized what's causing the pathing issues
