#

still id pick trinkets

torn gulch
#

yea i am trending towards that as well so i can play with heart/mark

#

and using talisman in particularly hard keys

lusty grotto
#

do the elders give rep?

#

the world boss duo

torn gulch
#

no

#

sucks

#

big time

lusty grotto
#

what the fuck lmao

torn gulch
#

imagine the wq not giving rep

lusty grotto
#

i just did it on alt and didnt give shit

torn gulch
#

garbage

lusty grotto
#

i was like HUH

sick sentinel
#

talisman seems really solid, only had like 1-3 keys with it at most

torn gulch
#

it's decent but again it's a defensive trinket

lusty grotto
#

its a defensive trinket

torn gulch
#

if you want to blast you play double offensive

lusty grotto
#

๐Ÿคท

torn gulch
#

there you go

chilly brook
#

Always blast

#

Defensive trinkets are stinky poopoo

sick sentinel
#

double defensive trinkets is pepega

modern brook
#

If you want trinkets to contribute towards your defensiveness you should just opt for stat sticks

#

It will have a larger impact than poorly planned on use shields or rng healing procs

sick sentinel
#

nothing wrong with having 1 tank trinket, 2 is often questionable

modern brook
#

There's a lot wrong with having a tank trinket just for the sake of it

sick sentinel
#

i tend to only do 2 tank trinkets if they are automatic, or at least 1 is automatic

modern brook
#

It's a huge opportunity loss for basically no gain

torn gulch
#

i never played with more than 1 tank trinket depending on scenario

chilly brook
#

Just run offensive trinkets

#

Your defensive trinkets are your eyes

#

SMH

torn gulch
#

well

#

about that

#

i play with my screen closed

how good is the back piece from last boss?

sick sentinel
modern brook
#

It's as good as any cloak of It's ilvl and then a little better than that

sick sentinel
#

i mean, its less cursed now, but still

modern brook
#

In m+ the uptime is ass

lusty grotto
odd nimbus
#

yeah uptime is not that good on it

#

and the stam loss

torn gulch
#

seems the trinket is wrong on sims

#

shows on sims that is doing 61k damage on proc but the 447 version in game shows me 69k

#

interesting

lusty grotto
#

it procs like twice on a boss during raid

#

if youre lucky

#

im not planning on using it for keys

torn gulch
#

what would be a good aoe sim to see the number for this trinket?

lusty grotto
#

this is concerning the sark cloak btw

modern brook
#

What trinket is this?

lusty grotto
#

if the numbers arent fitting the description, you might need to talk to simc guys

#

heart

torn gulch
#

heart of thunder

#

shows me 61k at 447 in sims but in game is 69k

modern brook
#

Against what?

lusty grotto
#

versa affecting it perhaps?

torn gulch
#

in sims the 447 version of the trinket shows that is doing 61k per proc in game it shows 69k

modern brook
#

OK no I get that

torn gulch
#

it should not be affected by vers according to wowhead

lusty grotto
#

ah

modern brook
#

What is the proc hitting in game and what is it hitting in the sim

torn gulch
#

i did not test the trinket ingame yet but the tooltip says 69k

#

in sims is 61k

modern brook
#

Aight well a) tool tip b) kvalues

#

Mmm maybe not kvalues persay but raid bosses take less dam from things than say random mobs in the open world

#

Like hell if you have warmode on the numbers probably change

lusty grotto
#

thats actually true

modern brook
#

Trust your sim then your details before you worry about a tooltip

torn gulch
#

i ended up going with the 447 heart

#

a belt can be crafted at 447 after all

#

and socketed from vault

#

Thanks for looking into it. Are you sure on those occasions where i didn't it wasn't up from shield charge? Not saying it's not likely I'm sure i have gaps

#

I always use the talent that makes charge give block

#

And if I'm doing that is def because I'm a noob bit I'm also pretty freaked out to get aggro at the start of some pulls often

#

So i just feel compelled to use big dam

#

Aoe abilities

#

Its def more complicated getting aggro as a warr than pally

#

So that's kind of new

modern brook
waxen vale
#

Usually i spam the button for shield block

#

While doing other stuff randomly

#

It seems like there's no reason to hold charges?

#

It just increases the duration anyway right not refresh

modern brook
#

There is a cap, hitting it is unrealistic

#

You don't spam it cause it's rage thay could gone towards resetting shield slam

#

Also cause dumping both charges and then shield blocking while walking to the next pull makes you miss blocking, for example, 28% of the hits you tank

warm plinth
#

To be fair, that's not the only issue here.

#

It's more just the fact that you're dropping charges of shield block when you just don't need to. I bet you had a lot of uptime in between packs that was just unnecessary because you're doing shit like this:

#

Like you just got 15 seconds of shield block; why would you press it again 2 seconds later

lusty grotto
#

like i said before, hes panic reacting

#

thats why he sends 4 different defensive cds at once

warm plinth
#

yeah, and he's just not pressing buttons correctly, or enough

#

51cpm, revenge is his top cast

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

we went over that

warm plinth
compact forum
#

Anyone got a WA for tracking shield block?

warm plinth
#

Just make one. New WA, from template, pick either bar or icon whatever you prefer, choose shield block under buffs, boom, you got a WA

hazy bronze
sick sentinel
#

wago search for Warrior - Sheild Block Display

#

is the one im using atm

unreal arrow
# waxen vale Thanks for looking into it. Are you sure on those occasions where i didn't it w...

I am not sure, just had a quick look on my phone, looks like you pressed shield block twice a minute so I assume it's not got 100% uptime, some people pulled some data out and saw you took melee hits which weren't blocked which means shield block not up or mobs behind you

Yeah I get aggro issues just have faith that thunderclap/shield charge is gonna grab all the aggro, you would do well to start pulls with last stand to have shield block up, then few revenges would be more acceptable

mighty valley
#

if i pre-ravager and everyone knows the prio target, i don't really get aggro issues, even if i don't shield charge til after demo and TR

#

you can shield block off've the charge + avatar rage, or make sure you're not totally drained from the previous pull

#

Hey guys, for my first try on experiment hm, these debuff hit me so hard, how much stacks I'm suppose to take ? Both tank with 10 stacks ?

fresh igloo
#

is "hm" heroic?

lusty grotto
#

heroic?

#

swap at 5

fresh igloo
#

the stacking tank debuff was kinda hurty before 10, if so.

#

yeah 5 sounds better

lusty grotto
#

5 stacks on other tank? taunt

#

then hug

#

blow up

#

take 5 stacks

#

have tank taunt

#

blow up

#

rinse and repeat

#

just dont blow up too early to stack the aoe

#

i keep it under 2 aoe stacks if possible, very doable with just having 1

#

and in case you dont know, every time you hug the other tank and you both have stacks <--- that's what i mean by blowing up

#

it clears both of your stacks

#

but it adds an aoe dot

#

that stacks

#

its a fun fight

frosty mist
#

At 5 stacks ? Ok, will try that next time. Ty

lusty grotto
#

then blow up with your tank remember

modern gazelle
#

this week is def rougher than last week tanking lol

#

bursting hurts

#

timed my first +15 this week though on BH with a healer who had only done +13's

mighty valley
#

can get away with a lot of bursting with dps timing and mass dispel

#

but yeah fort generally requires more tank knowledge than tyran

#

but brickwalls keys less

modern gazelle
#

do you guys swap routes on fort keys?

mighty valley
#

no not really

#

you still want most percent for least dps generally

#

but if you don't trust the squad you should probably pull smaller for bursting

sleek current
#

I change one pack in Nelth for Fortified because those bonecleavers or whatever they're called are nasty.

#

So, I'd rather skip 'em.

lusty grotto
#

but bonecleavers get yeeted by chains

sleek current
#

The ones upstairs?

round pendant
#

wait, this is the good trinket right? when people were talking about it I thought they meant the grapnel lmao

lusty grotto
#

hmm i dont remember them upstairs

sleek current
#

I'm talking about the ones that charge and throw an axe at people

#

I can't remember what they're called.

lusty grotto
#

bonesplitters yea

#

i remember the ones you say, the patrol

modern gazelle
#

i had been using quazii routes but dont love some of his, is there a place you guys get your routes or do you just make them?

lusty grotto
#

its funny when they jump on the same person

sleek current
lusty grotto
#

yeeted and deleted

modern gazelle
#

i adjust as i do more and people show diff things but if there is a good place to get routes that would be great

lusty grotto
#

quazii is as good as it gets as a starting point

sleek current
#

Aye, Quazii is my go to and then I kind of just play around and experiement or... Fail a key hard and figure out what went wrong. ๐Ÿ˜„

round pendant
#

I mean if everyone watched Quazii videos, dps included, the entire playerbase would be like twice as good

modern gazelle
#

i binged all of his vids before i started tanking lmao

#

the 1min tricks are the best

sleek current
#

Yes but, they often get patched within a day of him releasing the video. Haha

round pendant
#

depends if it's an obvious bug or not

#

but yeah

modern gazelle
#

bugs yeah but a lot are just mechanics

#

like moving neltharion lair boss to place both totems, or insta stunning mob etc

#

saves a lot of damage/time

sleek current
#

Aye, his tip for last boss of Ruby Life Pools last season was a saver for me. I would've never put two and two together. ๐Ÿ˜‚

modern gazelle
#

i also use his WA and adjusted it with my own ui, but i like his buff and SB placement

sleek current
#

I'm curious how other tanks deal with Forgemaster because I just stack the fire circles all on top of each other and charge out.

modern gazelle
#

thats what i do

#

first place then walk out, second leap or charge out, 3rd leap or charge out

sleek current
#

I use Luxthos for my WeakAuras. I'm not keen on Quazii's just a style thing though.

round pendant
#

have played fuck all m+ this season

#

which one is forgemaster again

sleek current
#

The one that has the anvil and bangs it three times then immediately throws his shield.

round pendant
#

I use a modified quazii WA for prot warrior with Nome's SR tracker

#

pretty good tbh, I don't like the other ones, they all feel awkward to modify

sleek current
#

I like Luxthos custom options.

proper roost
#

it's the biggest healing check in that dungeon on tyr, and there are major los issues

#

so highly dependent on tank positioning the slams in the correct areas imo

#

the anvil LoSes which is really cool ๐Ÿ™‚

sleek current
#

Infurating init. ๐Ÿ˜‚

round pendant
#

I never thought to stack the fire though tbh, I usually just went around in a circle

#

but I haven't done any high keys yet so maybe that runs out of room if you have poopoo dps

sleek current
#

Aye, just stack it right on top of each other. Get knocked back, wait for the circle to appear and charge before he jumps.

proper roost
#

it's not really about running out of room, bad slams are just if you go opposite the anvil

#

and then as he runs back, everyone los healer because they just went from opposite sides on the anvil

round pendant
#

it's really weird if the bosses own anvil can los its own mechanics lmao

proper roost
#

no just the healer

round pendant
#

oh right

sleek current
#

Aye, just the healer and us. ๐Ÿ˜‚

round pendant
#

I'd consider that the same thing tbh

#

but yeah

#

wack

sleek current
#

I wish we could LOS him. The hammering to shield throw is pretty brutal. I clench my arsecheeks every time.

warm plinth
#

The puddles disappear every like 2 heating strikes anyway

proper roost
#

as long as you use either side (where the blacksmith trash was), you're fine

#

it's even very safe to just do 1 side trash

#

the only danger is that you can very easily pull the patting trash up top

#

if you skipped that but get slammed into that direction

#

so

#

don't do that

#

luxthos known weakaura terrorist

warm plinth
#

I don't really care for his WAs. He uses way too many glows and outlines

proper roost
#

5 million unnecessary trackers, a bunch of custom code for very basic functions so editing it is a nightmare, every single thing glows

warm plinth
#

If everything glows then it defeats the purpose of the glow

warm plinth
#

So, kind of a dick too ๐Ÿ™‚

proper roost
#

idk why there can't be a popular class package wa maker that doesn't overbloat their shit by a ton

warm plinth
#

Meanwhile Afenar's is SUPER customizable

#

Everything is nice and separated and you can delete what you don't need

proper roost
#

will have to try that out for alts bedge

round pendant
#

Meanwhile Quazii's is the best and the ideal way to make WA's

#

fight me

sleek current
#

I don't mind it. Pretty sure I'm the reason the demo shout glows.

warm plinth
#

Afenar's is all categorized by resource, utility, rotation

#

Very neatly organized

sleek current
#

So, I remember it exists.

round pendant
#

I remember it exists because it feels bad if you don't demo shout before shield charge

sleek current
#

Revenge glows in base UI, I'm pretty sure that's why that's glowing and the SS is probably just a reset.

warm plinth
#

Revenge glows when it procs, yes

#

When you have Revenge!

round pendant
#

I don't like Revenge as a skill

proper roost
#

i mean honestly biggest issue i have with luxthos packs is they HAVE no cd rage dumps like that displayed on screen

warm plinth
#

It's not just the glows though; why the fuck is everything outlined

proper roost
#

knowing that revenge is free is good, but there is literally no reason to have the revenge button up there ALL the time

#

like why. you can just press it lol

warm plinth
sleek current
#

Pretty sure they're outlined because I'm using them. ๐Ÿ˜‚

warm plinth
#

I know why they're outlined

#

But it's completely unnecessary

round pendant
sleek current
#

Stylistic choice init.

warm plinth
#

If I see a duration on it and it's saturated, that tells me it's active

#

Why do I need an outline

proper roost
#

isn't that just the same thing

#

๐Ÿค”

warm plinth
#

Yes, yes it is

sleek current
#

That works for you. Personally saturated buttons for me tell my brain I don't have enough rage. Which for example if I didn't have rage for IP it would grey out.

round pendant
#

Glowing borders when it's active is just dumb

#

Things should glow when they need your attention

sleek current
#

Of course

warm plinth
#

Saturated means it's colored

#

Desaturated means it's gray

sleek current
#

I'm aware, I just wrote the wrong thing in response to someone.

warm plinth
#

well yeah, I will never argue that personal customization isn't important!

#

If you like how it looks then you'll be more apt to look at it

#

I'd rather a lot of people in here use hekili than what the fuck they're currently doing keks

sleek current
#

If it works... I mean who really cares.

#

It's just elitism for the sake of elitism.

warm plinth
#

Well, tbf I don't know a lot about hekili. Like does it actually use defensives properly, does it actually follow the correct up-to-date APL, etc.

fresh igloo
#

i used to roll my own WA for everything but it turned in to a lot of work. not a fan of how hekili presents data though.

proper roost
#

do you really think criticizing overbuilt weakauras and screen alerts that turn into visual noise that you start disregarding, is elitism

#

oh you meant hekili

As you can see, there's a lot of things not on WAs that I still press

i like having my keybinds and with that setup i just couldnt track everything i wanted without making it look bad

I mean that's basically everything, what else you pressing? Haha

warm plinth

I know all of my keybinds but for some reason I can't give up my action bars. Idk what it is

Oooh yeah. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah but seeing your keybinds is bad

Why

I only use action bars for my resto druid so I have buttons left for my damage abilities.

warm plinth
#

Why is seeing your keybinds bad

round pendant
#

For things you use often, it's fine, like your rotational or regular CD buttons

#

but what if it's something you don't use often? you have to literally look at your bar and read what button it's on

warm plinth
#

Why do you have to do that ๐Ÿค”

modern gazelle
#

no i dont lol i know all my buttons i just LIKE seeing the keybinds

round pendant
#

And if you don't need to do that, you don't need to show the keybinds

warm plinth
#

I know all of my buttons

#

It fucks with me if they're not there.

Even my mouse buttons which are not even like...useful

Because they're shit like [ and ;

modern gazelle

i press every button with my mouse and an augment

round pendant
#

I guess everyone's brain works differently

#

I personally feel like I get to enjoy the game more when I hide my bars

modern gazelle
#

0-9 are on my mouse, then i use alt/ctrl/shift to augment buttons

I think if we've learnt anything here... It's definitely that everyone's brains work differently. ๐Ÿ˜„

modern gazelle
#

i never tak emy hands off wasd except for Q E F and R

warm plinth
#

I cannot use a mouse for rotation. It's super fucking awful

Puts so much strain on your hand too

#

yeah that sounds like a recipe for RSI to me

warm plinth

I use my mouse for defensives and utility

modern gazelle
#

G502 feels amazing to me for pressing all buttons on mouse

round pendant
#

I don't use my mouse at all

My main rotation is all on keyboard

That's even worse; you don't even have that many buttons on a 502

mouse4 is autorun, that's it for me

sleek current
#

I've used my mouse for rotation since I started back at the end of TBC. I don't have RSI. Haha

warm plinth
#

So you're using modifiers for like 2/3 of your shit

#

That's horrible

modern gazelle
#

3 thumb buttons (with gshift thats 6) and then i use middle mouse to the sides and down for an additional 3 buttons

I just want to press 1 button

#

it take sthe same time as pressing any other key without having to take fingers off movement

That sounds terrible keks

Yeah man! Could never go back. Haha

#

actually I don't use alt-6, I switched it to alt-e

my alt buttons are all things I press less than once per minute though

modern gazelle

how do you click enough buttons if you dont use augments even

or at most once per minute

modern gazelle

i have like 18 buttons, how the hell are you using 18 keybinds

well first of all

warm plinth

I have big ass hands and pressing alt 6 sounds terrible

proper roost
#

unless you literally have no left hand (possible)

#

you have the entire left half of your keyboard available

modern gazelle
#

so you press alt with thumb and press 6 on mouse

warm plinth

That just doesn't make sense. What if you accidentally press the mouse button before the modifier

modern gazelle

this is all i need

Idk my mouse has two concave sides and has raised ridges for the middle 2 buttons

Very very easy to identify the buttons

i can bind 12+ keys comfortably on my g502

alt you just click with thumb

oh, ctrl is hard cause i have long fingers so i gotta like bend it in a little

I wonder if I should switch my alt binds to capslock

I just hate using capslock as a bind in games

Capslock! Blooming heck, the light coming on and off would drive me bonkers

cause it toggles capslock on lmao

warm plinth
#

The only time I used modifiers as a normal part of my rotation is when I had the normal mouse with just the forward/back buttons on the side, and I bound forward to alt and back to ctrl

modern gazelle

i only use it as map in fps

warm plinth

but my keyboard lets me just rebind capslock as a completely different button, like rn it's FN for me

And use it as a normal button

Like somewhere in the range of 35% of our damage is from non-abilities, so it's like a 4% overall damage boost? That just means our new rings need to make up for the other 9% damage loss critcake

Guys, one question. In order to know if an item is an upgrade do you sim it with raidbots?

It's also 4x longer CD than goak

Just to add that ontop

warm plinth
#

It was already "fixed" and still works like that. At this point we're pretty sure it's working how they want it to.

#

It's just working in a stupid way.

hardy snow
#

then they should correct tooltip accordingly

#

if skill does something different than tooltip says, its a bug imo, either in skill working or tooltip

warm plinth
#

They explicitly stated that the reason they added it was to make it a comfortable pick for new players who are learning. Which to me seems like they intend it that way because they're planning on it proccing for newbies that aren't using Shield Block properly.

Not that that makes it an acceptable talent because obviously it's still going to proc when they ARE using SB properly.

Hey so when i have avatar popped and haste buffs make it so I can thunder clap on GCD, should I be doing so?

warm plinth
#

You can't cast thunder clap on GCD

#

It will always be every other GCD because the GCD decreases at the same rate the cooldown does.

solar rivet
#

Hm ok

#

My UI must be foolin me

sick sentinel
#

say no more

solar rivet
#

Is every source of damage reduction multiplicative?

#

Like Block + Ignore Pain + Shield Wall

mighty valley
#

yeah, no 100% DR sadly

solar rivet
#
  • Armor as well I suppose
#

so an attack doing 100,000 base damage, -50% armor
now 50,000, then shield wall -50%
25,000, then 50% block
12,500, then Ignore Pain 50%
6,000 damage?

#

Did I math that correctly or does it not work like that?

warm plinth
#

Ignore Pain will always reduce the remaining damage by 50% up to its current shield amount.

solar rivet
#

so if it were 20,000 damage after all other DRs, would ignore pain make it 10,000 effective hit point damage taken?

warm plinth
#

Yes, as long as you had 10k absorb available from IP

solar rivet
#

Ok, so the absorb also is counting post DR damage?

warm plinth
#

Yes absorbs always happen last in the calculation

solar rivet
#

Awesome, thanks

#

So my ignore pain shouldnt instantly get its absorb stripped if DRs are active

mighty valley
#

unless the hit is just that big

warm plinth
#

Well, depends on what you're taking damage-wise.

#

Like you're not gonna reduce a non-blockable 500k hit to 20k

solar rivet
#

to 150k perhaps? ๐Ÿ‘€

#

Also, should I be using Last Stand/Rallying cry as a heal?

mighty valley
#

with tier set you should be using last stand on CD

warm plinth
#

With tier, you should be using LS on CD

solar rivet
#

or are there scenarios were you just need that HP buffer

warm plinth
#

Rallying Cry should be used prior to taking damage.

#

Because its heal is temporary.

mighty valley
#

rally is usually for big full group damage events

warm plinth
#

Once the effect ends, you lose the HP it gave you.

solar rivet
#

Ah well I havent actually seen what tier even is yet

sleek current
#

You don't lose the HP it gave you

warm plinth
#

yes you do

#

Rallying Cry, you do.

#

LS, you don't

solar rivet
#

I always understood it as raising your max HP and then healing you for the HP gained afterwards

#

So only LS works that way?

warm plinth
#

It's worded that way in the tooltip but it's not actually how it works.

#

Yes, LS works that way

mighty valley
#

rally gives your healer breathing room to prevent the squad from dying, then they top everyone off when things after the big damage is over

lilac sandal
#

Whatโ€™s the best way to not get absolutely clapped by Rashok? I feel like the tank combo hits me like a truck and if I donโ€™t have a full ignore pain and shield block up in d stance I die

mighty valley
#

it can be an absolute "i will die if i don't press anything" last resort though

warm plinth
#

Yeah might buy you a little time for the healer to wake up at least keks

solar rivet
#

just read tier bonus, wow thats nuts

#

Does that 5% reduced damage they deal stack with multiple slams within 5 sec?

warm plinth
#

I actually don't know, but I doubt it. More likely just refreshes it.

crude notch
#

Usually things that stack say they stack.

solar rivet
#

Now does the 15-30% increased slam damage also affect the "wave of force" from the 4 set?

warm plinth
#

No, the wave and SS are not in any way related other than that SS triggers the wave.

solar rivet
#

Gotcha

warm plinth
#

They're completely separate sources of damage

#

In logs I believe it's called like earthen smash

#

With the buff it gives called Earthen Tenacity

#

It is grouped with SS in logs though (click the little down arrow next to SS to see the breakdown). Not sure why.

solar rivet

#

Nah

mighty valley
#

nah I don't macro anything

sleek current
#

The cooldown could and will likely be at wildly varying times

#

Don't Macro them together.

solar rivet
#

Maybe I just macro it to thunderclap

round pendant
#

just don't macro it

#

very few things are actually ok to put in macros

hushed cobalt
#

Can't find sith Kermit "do it" meme

mighty valley
#

macro whirlwind to slam

solar rivet
#

I've macro'd ignore pain and shield block into a couple buttons that give me a big surge of rage ๐Ÿค

sleek current

/cast [stance:2]!Defensive Stance;!Battle Stance
/cast [mod] Ravager
/cast [nomod, @player]Ravager

These are the only macro's I use, you can macro IP to SS as well to grab SS Proc snipes.

#

I think you have to put SS second

crude notch
#

Yeah but who asked

sleek current
#

Fuck off bud. ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

He's asking about macro's clearly.

solar rivet
#

Ignore pain to shield slam you say? Is it just instant reset sometimes?

mighty valley
#

since it can reset off devastator auto attacks, it can randomly happen immediately after cast sometimes

sleek current
#

It's just so you can snipe some SS procs instead of having to press another button, sometimes they come up at the same time saves you a small amount of time. ๐Ÿ™‚

solar rivet
#

Ignore pain I feel I'm pressing so often just to rage dump as fast as possible lol, I shouldve bound it to a more convenient button

sleek current
#

Yeah, that'd be a good idea.

mighty valley
#

yeah it's gotta be on a real comf keybind

#

mine is on A (with movement on ESDF)

solar rivet
#

I have a weak aura I made that screams at me when I'm rage capped

#

been very good at teaching me

sleek current
#

Oh, that'll flip. You'll want a weakaura that screams at you for wasting rage on a shit cast of IP when you wanted Shield Block. ๐Ÿ˜‚

solar rivet
#

I've got 2 bars I made that constantly show my IP and SB uptime, that helps me a lot too

#

Never let the bars fall and I never die ez

mighty valley
#

a weakaura that thinks several GCDs ahead for you to figure out how long you have to burn you rage down to to avoid overcapping in the first place

solar rivet
#

All in all prot warrior I think has surpassed my former evoker main. This is the first time I've played WoW seriously since MoP

sleek current
#

Chicken with dragon wings that mate

solar rivet
#

Can't even swing around this sick flail transmog I found

#

whats the point

sleek current
#

Hahaha

solar rivet
#

I've only had a level 70 warrior for about 12 hours, but I knew it was destiny when my first pieces of 400+ ilvl gear were a weapon and a shield

sleek current
#

On that note... Just full send a 447 shield.

solar rivet
sleek current
#

Honestly, I can't be arsed with all that placing it down nonsense, mouseover or not. ๐Ÿ˜‚

solar rivet
#

I'm already in the middle of all of them

sleek current
#

Yeah, exactly. There are a few good use cases but... Zug Zug

solar rivet
#

mouse location saved for important things like kicks and taunts

#

and mid-combat toys

sleek current
#

I use a weakaura that puts a circle on my mouse so I don't lose it because I camera strafe.

solar rivet
#

I forgot you could attach things to your mouse with WA... maybe I should put my taunt and interrupt CDs on there...

kind urchin
#

I got this sweet crosshair wa for my mouse from a guildie.

solar rivet
#

Just stuck all these to my mouse catjam

proper roost
modern gazelle
#

yeah but sometimes you want to put it further away

solar rivet
#

No I dont think I do want to put it farther away

mighty valley
#

but you can throw it down before charging into a pack

crude notch
solar rivet
#

What self respecting warrior isnt charging first and foremost

mighty valley
#

warriors who want to save a gcd on the pull

#

given that we have a billion buttons to press in sequence

sleek current
#

Zug Zug

solar rivet
#

Are you supposed to alternate thunder claps between the big opener buttons after popping avatar/demo shout?

pallid quiver
#

also it helps when you have hunting havoc children to get threat since the first thing you do is actual damage

solar rivet
#

Or just press all the big damage CDs and then do thudner claps

pallid quiver
#

CDs all in a row

#

Better to get their CDs rolling

mighty valley
#

CDs first then normal prio

solar rivet
#

Gothca, I've been making it harder/worse for myself for no reason

cinder nova
#

FINALLY KILLED M EXPERIMENTS

#

FUCK THAT BOSS

pallid quiver
#

otherwise you can not get full value from the press/miss casts through fight/instance

cinder nova
#

FUCK THAT ENTIRE ENCOUNTER

sleek current
#

Congrats mate

#

Currently progging that myself and I don't enjoy it. We're only 28 wipes in though. Apparently it's a 40 pull boss. We're pretty close as well, so expect to have it down on Monday

cinder nova
#

I'd honestly rather eat my shoes than deal with that shit. Actually terrible boss design to just leave warrior out in the cold with 3 heavy magic DOT fights

proper roost
#

grats, rashok is easy to tank

cinder nova
#

At least M Kazz you can block

proper roost
#

then zskarn is dog

#

well

cinder nova
#

We might have a BDK just tank with the pal so I can roll my face in the bombs

proper roost
#

rashok hits rly hard

#

so

sleek current
#

3? Where's the third?

proper roost
#

"easy"

cinder nova
#

M Kazz is a fuckload of magic damage, but of the total 3 (zskarn, exp, kazz) it's blockable.

#

Exp has blockable stuff, but not being able to block the dot is miserable

solar rivet
#

I'm so proud of myself for putting spell-reflect right beside my kicks on my mouse-attached WA

cinder nova
#

I have mine on `

#

Kick on 2

solar rivet
#

cause like, I'm already looking at the cast bars, so its good to see if I could just reflect it too

#

its like a little swiss army knife right on the mouse cursor ready for whatever

#

I dont think i can go back to evoker. That class just feels so... simple in comparison

#

4 buttons

#

6 if youre sweaty

cinder marsh
#

hey yall, do yall got any sugestions for twitch streamers or even youtubers that i should look at for prot warr mythic plus guides?

proper roost
#

i think sense streams occasionally

cinder marsh
#

is " sense " the twitch streamer?

Hey all,

Having a debate among guildies and friends, so asking for the discord opinion.

  • i have 5 piece with hands as nonheroic
  • im mostly an m+ player, and i pug heroic aberus
  • sims have pointed to gloves.
  • current trinks are normal anchor and hero dargrul

votes have been going to anvil so far due to difficulty in getting them in pugs, and scoring high in prot and will probably never unequip.

444 gloves will get me better "endgame" due to 10.1.5's upgradeability and good on fury, but not the highest allocation of stats in terms of gearslot, and higher chance of getting more 444-447 items along the way for catalyzing given i comfortably do 18s and eventually 20s.

thoughts?

#

thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™‚

warm plinth
#

I would probably stick with the trinkets you have. Anvil needs ramp up time and if you leave combat for more than a few seconds, you lose your stacks. Makes it annoying to use in M+ unless you're chain pulling like mad

toxic pewter
#

what do you guys do when you feel burnt out

cinder marsh
#

toxic pewter
#

proper roost
#

toxic pewter
#

#

proper roost
#

alting was really fun for me, tbh

cinder marsh

a guild needs alot of communication and dedication to work out

most guilds dont make it

proper roost
