or if you are godly at classic wow and have a lot of paitence try out hardcore but me personly i would never
don't play classic, it's a trap
Isn't hardcore just your char is deleted if you die?
Just don't die then 4head
yeah but no official ruleset just honor system stuff
it's just, it's vanilla classic so its extremely fucking boring
Nah there's an actual hardcore mode now I thought?
yea
literally just autoattack for 60 levels
takese to fucking long to level up
Because people were talking about appealing to a GM to get their char undeleted and shit
not yet no, they have hardcore classic servers planned but not released yet
uh, so there's a somewhat unofficial addon that's widely spread for it
lol
and people appeal their deaths on the addon to the addon devs

it's a pretty funny source of drama
oh
yea i like reacting to asmon reacting to top deaths to them people that play it
it has me dead
the drama around official HC servers is that you won't be able to appeal d/c, griefing deaths
lol
yea thats just waiting to get fuked in the ass
funny you mention it though i actually downloaded the addon
and tried it today
i made a character and then just logged out lmao
lols
yea i dont got the paitence like i can get so mad i will break my keyboard
yeah that too lol
honestly wish there was something I could work toward though in DF
other than I guess achievements
I guess there is the .1% or whatever for keys
like a long, expansive questline or something
yea like in shadowlands after i got my score in order i achiev fish
or mount collect
or just try out all the other classes
yeah ive been running a lot of legacy stuff
Guess I will go play the least played spec
mistweaver monk
prob fun tbh
yea i only have 4 level 70s but i mained prot warr for since begining of sl
nice
there was this one time i tried to get this artifact weapon for prot warr that came from legion tower chalange and there was a expensive trinket that would delete the boss for you but after i bought it i found out that that apperence was no longer
bout quite that night
You can't get the artifact appearance anymore?
Nope, unless you're a Guardian Druid in which case you get a different colour of the the mage tower bear model.
Wtf what's the reason for having it then
You get a recolour of Tomb of Sarg instead now.
Damn
It's protected by the gatekeepers as well who shout that FOMO should exist and you should feel bad for not doing it during legion so it'll likely never be available again. š¤·
Lame af
It is what it is, init.
That's literally why I walk around with my Hand of A'dal title, just a nyah nyah you can't have this vibe
When the sad reality is nobody has their screens zoomed in enough to even make out what your transmog is or what title you're using so gatekeeping it is a real fucking silly ploy
I know the transmog of one person in my guild and it's because I googled his armoury page to draw a stupid sketch. š
Here's the sketch
wait what trinket are you talking about
Rion got buns
It's beautiful š„²
Thanks, I worked hard on it. š
I have like 20 different mog sets, so it's not like im even loyal to an aesthetic
sometimes you wanna be a green turtle boi, sometimes a purple power ranger
My asthetic is... Is it red? Yes. I wear it. Is it red? No. I don't wear it.
ive been feeling sparkly blue lately
Let the rage begin 
though bfa it was all about the eyes, everything needed eyes on it
wish i could get mage tower appearance also
I've basically just wrote off all BFA transmog. Except... The mythic battle of daza'alor shoulder.
I will say I got the balance of power appearance and its pretty cool
i just got those shoulders 2 days ago they look great
do you guys have tusks of mannoroth
arent those still technically available tho?
ya they are just havent had luck getting them and ive been trying for a while
ahh icic, I did them on my hunter back in the day but i cant be assed to go through that trouble again
yah that skip theyre adding will be nice lol
oh i didnt hear about that, love a good 'mog skip
yah in 10.1.5
bless those bastards for adding the one to seige
so eaarlier when some peopel looked at my log
they said not to overlap thigns like last tsand and wall
i really feel like i need it sometimes is that not good
Generally you don't want to overlap CDs. What do you need both for?
You should not have rage problems in large pulls though?
like let's say I'm doing first pull of Freehold. My main priority is getting shield block up so I would charge+avatar>Shield Block, then I'd heroic throw the back pack and pull them both into the side pack. Should be pretty stable š¤·
If you don't move when the key is put in you can get all of them without having to heroic throw.
You should still not have rage problems especially first pull
You have avatar, demoralizing shout, ravager etc.
Use immovable object instead too
Tanky as fuck with io
Can drop once you get better at managing your own survivability but itās a great talent for a minor dps loss
Or just press buttons
Yea sure, but io is also a good talent
what CDs are we even talking about overlapping? basically all of them except SW you're throwing on CD
Itās such a minor dps loss that if a pwar is having a bit of trouble surviving it is so fucking good that it makes sense to take
Pressing buttons makes sense over altering talents

Gotta take the training wheels off at some point
Friend itās barely a dps difference and a massive increase to survivability
Itās an extremely powerful talent that even the best warriors will occasionally take
Itās also not that difficult to just play prot properly
Itās not inting to take io
i think if you're just starting out and struggling to survive your problems are probably not gonna be fixed at all by switching to IO
i think you need to actually be pretty good to identify the places where IO is smart to take
I wouldnāt say that. If youāre burning rage properly and sending Ava on cd youāre naturally going to have it on every pull
Usually at the start of pull during the most risky part
I honestly donāt know how you would struggle with survival rn
Most of the dungeons are physical
Itās not last season
Press block, press your buttons on CD profit
by being new to tanking and doing a lot of silly panicking, getting backhit, missing kicks and stops, brainfreezing and letting SB drop, all the usual stuff that kills people
And talent changes arenāt the answer to those problems

i'm agreeing with you on that front
Burning slashers, basilisk in ulda, snake in ulda, hoi drakes, thereās a few more than a newer tank will struggle with
Some larger caster packs
Theyāre easily survivable for you and me sure
Solved mostly by playing better
I mean I havenāt played warrior in over a season
Assisted with a cheap talent choice that is at least worth considering
Not struggling now with my low ilvl warr
Alright then
Like Iām prolly kinda rusty
But the basics are the same and very simple
Press block when things are shooting/slashing at you
And send your CDs as often as possible
You could legitimately hold W in most of these dungeons and not have to press shield wall and succeed for a significant amount of key levels
And yet many people do griff
So it isnāt that easy for lots of ppl (including the guy who came here asking questions)
Warrior has only 1 real defensive oh shit cd, and io gives you 2. Iām not saying itās a must choose, just to consider that itās an option. Most ppl see the wowhead build or suggested builds that donāt take it and donāt realize how powerful it is and how minor the dps loss is
Especially with t30 during LS youāre barely hitting tc anyways
??
Nothing changes with t30?
Shield slam was always higher prio than TC
I legitimately donāt think having a small wall when hitting avatar is going to make a huge difference for people already struggling with the class
Shield Wall isn't an oh shit button either...you don't use DR reactively.
it's simming as like a 2.5k dps difference for me in aoe
what classes can dispel bursting?
Yeah my feeling with pwar is if you donāt plan ahead you just die in challenging content. No oh shits to be had.
all healers but only priests have mass dispel. and monks on a long cd
Yeah if you send avatar on CD more likely than not the shield wall is wasted
aight good to know cause i just did a 14 BH and my healer was bitching at me but just looked and he didnt dispell anything the entire run
dispelling one person isn't often super relevant to bursting
i mean one dispel?
like he couldnt do one dispel?
to save one of my dps
like people were dying to burstin after fights
and he didnt dispell them
not dispelling anything at all in brackenhide is suspicious but
bursting management is mostly on the dps
dps needed to not pop all at once i agree
and if the dps can't handle themselves, then it's on the tank to pull moderately
but like i was sitting ther ewaiting for next pull and mana cause people had bursting
and he let a dude die
and since he clearly didnt dispell once, he couldve just saved him with dispell
how many stacks were you typically getting?
i did super small pulls, one pack at a time max, so max of 2-4 stacks usually
like no pulls besides with tiny enemies of more than 5-6 mobs
sounds like they were struggling regardless, sometimes it's better to spend the gcd on an aoe heal rather than dispelling one person when everyone's burning down evenly
might just not have been a good healer
It's not about the number of stacks so much as it is not having the stacks happen all at once.
hell, everyone was 75% health roughly, so i pull first boss and they all die, i solod the boss
5 stacks at the same time is a lot easier to heal through than 1 stack which turns into 2 which turns into 3 which turns into 4
i feel like the boss this week isnt even hard
or take it slower and actually let stacks drop
like if you just dodge mechanics does it really do that much?
you just described world of warcraft though
what boss
i get that, but bitching at me cause dps die in 3s of boss fight really shouldnt be on me
first boss
yeah sounds like a healer who doesn't really know how anything works
i literally killed the two melee bosses on my own
people probably died to fixate, whirlwind, whatever else
completley solo
which isn't on the healer either but if they're mad at you for that, they don't know the fight
he complained cause i didnt let him full heal everyone
anyway, low pug be puggin
but on a fort week is 75% hp not enough for the pull?
they really dont do much damage
Melee dps try to kill themselves in bh on first boss all the time. The big gnoll doesnāt have a frontal cleave. Nope.
not even a little bit
feel like its wasting time to let everyone full heal completely
what spec was the healer? not that it super matters
resto shaman
i did 57mil healing lol he did 44mil
which isnt a big deal cause ignore pain gives a ton of healing but still funny
every tank should be outhealing healers at this point
HPS meters really don't matter at all. A good group will have less healing than a bad group. Some bosses are intense healing checks, others are a snoozefest where they spend the entire time DPSing.
dps standing in a bladestorm without a defensive will die before the healer can really pad
just wanted to check
like im sure i made mistakes but dude seemed adamant that it was on me
so of the 5 people in the group he took the 3rd most damage? that's really not indicative of anything
fact he didnt dispell one thing makes me think otherwise though
2nd most, dps was 1st i was 3rd most damage taken
they took 3-4mil more damage overall than the other 2 dps
dont matter much i mainly just wanted to know about dispells for future and whether he couldve saved some people or not
yes as i said
of the 5 people in the group
he was 3rd after you and a dps.
no
the two were above dawn, the tank
not that this is ultra relevant to... anything
yeah i mean i just shut up and listened and finished the key, i just wanted to check what class can dispell so i know going forword
i still wouldn't expect a ton of single target bursting dispels necessarily
kind of situational
is there a way to see what keys you would need to reach 2000io?
not a ton, just one xD
Not instantly, no. But if you link your raider.io I can give you an idea.
Or when they keep moving and I'm trying to stay in the arrow.
sec resetting pass and stuff havent logged into this in years
how do i link the io? i clicked my character but just takes me to a profile page
could probably do like...14s of the ones you don't have done on fort and that'd get you there. Might not even need all of them but I'm too lazy to do the exact math right now
cool thanks, not super important but just thought id check
do you get a tier piece for 2k? or just any random raid piece
if its tier piece i may actually push for it so i can get my 4p
ah sweet i might just do that real quick lol
thatll get me my 4p if i use catalyst
when low io person denies you on a key you have run multiple times and have a higher io -_- how bad do you want to get carried lol
I got pretty lucky running LFR, hit my 4 piece with just 1 reset
damn nice, i was close need 1 piece and ill be able to get 4p
Your DPS will definitely improve but honestly the effect is super lackluster
Little puff of dust is such a shame to watch lol
effect is lackluster but its still quite good
its like a 9% dps up
or 6.5K in bis gear
ROFLMAO?
Uwu
how do you pull the last packs in freehold?
the ones right after crossing the bridge
someone always pulls the pat, but the caster doesnt move so you cant really pull them away either
I pull all of it together
Kill them all
2 at the end of the bridge, the pack on the right, and the patrol
Gives you the most room and the only thing dangerous to you in that pack is the officer, and you can spell reflect the oiled blade like...half the time? idr the cd on it
No
You can but it depends on how comfortable you feel with the pull. It's going to make the mobs do 50% more damage so
up to you if you think that's worth 8% of their max HP
i too like kicking 150k dps
do you guys use the spell reflect essentials WA?
i like it but have found it misses some spells that are reflectable
In the meantime i play it defensive. first the 2 guys at the end of the bridge, then to the right and chain the pat. all togehter was chaos often enough in random groups.
No.
I just go by experience mostly.
yeah lol it gets ridiculous in random groups
idk who was doing it but i had sooo many butt pulls in my last run the entire time, somehow i lived though
Always the boomies or the hunters.
people mostly freak out about sea spout
as long as you can survive that pull (very big if on fort week), the important thing is pulling back ish enough that your group has an area to dodge the sea spouts
a common tank mistake in freehold is to pull the oarsman pack back onto the top of the bridge to try to evade the pat, so now none of your melee have anywhere to go to dodge sea spout except into the pat's direction, which pulls it and then kills you because you weren't prepared for oiled blade
that's 100% a very common tank mistake that just bricks freeholds and snowballs over and over
I just pull all of them. Ends up being safer than trying to dance around and not pull.
anyone else play the minigame of trying to get as many interrupts as possible?
i have a details just for interupts cause i like seeing how many i get by end, if only it counted stuns
idr exactly in bed atm
no cc breaks are if people break a hard cc
it's somewhere in Misc, crowd control applied or something like that
ah found it, cool
is it safe to pull more when the qalashi hunters are running in slow mo behind you and casting shit as they catch up to you? (neltharus)
sometimes
its not a terrible idea, but it is risky
its mostly the leap that the hunters do
it leaves behind a massive dot that healer needs to be prepared for
the cast the hunters do is totally irrelevant
Really depends on the context
Pulling more hunters? (e.g. right after chargath) bad idea
Pulling a bunch of nonhunters, like after the broken tiles after chargath - irrelevant, theyll do the same damage
the bold ambush? keeps killing ppl :/
Maybe is stupid question but how are you guys dealing with the zealots stealthed mobs in HOI
mainly the one after magmatusk, the two qalashi hunter before the room, want to bring them inside bt they walk sooooo slow
Yeah you can do that, like I said you just don't really want to pull them to the next set of hunters
a slightly better idea for them is to chain them, but you only want one chain tops on that set because the next pull is much larger
ya am doing it nw, js dnt know if its better to kill the two by themselves, or bring them inside and chain with another set of adds
There isnt another set of adds u can pull that isnt another hunter set or way far away
Best you can do is like two phoenixes and the miniboss
Or if your group is coordinated you could all run very fast all the way to the chain outside of chargaths room and healer pop cds and chain all of them
but that would be fairly risky and not doable at all in pugs
haha alright
Relies on your ranged being same place as you so the hunters jump forwards to you to catch up
looks like will js kill them first since i am pugging
Best thing you can do as a tank for pugs is world marker the chain location
and track chain cds on everyone
What's the best way to deal with Chomp ?
What chomp?
The bleed from the crocs in Uldaman? Was that called Chomp?
Outrange / stun / defensives / dwarf racial.
Yes those, Basilisks in Uldaman and NL
how many stacks can chomp build up to?
As many as you get hit by.
Depending on key level, yes.
Add a bursting dot and byebye
Can you outrange it as they cast it ? Just like the serpent guards in Uld ?
Those crocs just smash me in seconds
YEs, gotta be fast tho since it's a fast cast.
... often
i know where they stand and leap in position with thunderclap. so (mostly) š i dont get stunned. dont know how to do it better....
I know where they hang around, watch my combat status and thunder clap them out of stealth
On the big pack before the 2 mini bosses I pre ravage while charging but ofc I donāt have ravaged everytime and it didnāt end so well the last time I charged in š
Then you send in the sacrificial DPS to be wrecked
I tried that
Heroic leap on the middle mob
ravager/heroic leap/yolo
should i craft twice the shadowflame effect or only one is good?
for the extra damage
Shoutout to the Frostfire Belt crew!
thx a lot
Sorry if this has been asked before, but if you have 2 or 4 set, is the "unnerving focus" talent ever more appealing than say Battering ram? Or is the cool down reduction on last stand, and the extra rage generated during that period, not enough to compensate for the loss of the damage granted by the 20% attack speed & 20% damage increase from battering?
u take unvering focus in raid the build is in the pins
and u dont drop battering ram for it
that isnt worth
u dont drop battering ram
period
Thanks!

Mwahi usually giga fast at responding thought it was enuff š«”
Smh irl prison
Je, the worst prison.
@warm plinth happy big leveling day

Do you have ac at home?
Also its only gonna make it worse knowing you are gonna be stuck at work while its good weather and as soon as you get home its just gonna be worse
Luckily yes.
That is true..gotta abuse home-office more.
Set the status as "In a meeting".
And chill.
Either way youre still stuck indoors 

Cmon man, i come to Discord to escape the gloom reality of my life.
Stop bringing it here

Why tf is it whenever i do sheild wall i still get melted sometimes
Probably because you take a lot of damage?
Gotta embrace it and live a little you know im just reminding you of that 
Yes always
I tanked a 21 took 0 dmmg from adds
But whenever i tried a 20 even with sheild wall mobs were abt to kill me
There's no magic here
You press SW, you take less damage.
If it's mainly magic damage, it will still hurt as it's not mitigated via SB.
Maybe you also got smacked in the back.
Idk.
Sometimes i just pop spell sheild
I assume adds have magic xD
Sometimes itās good sometimes itās a waste
Is it worth using sheild wall and spell sheild at the same time ?
No.
What should i use first
Holy fuck real
SW or SS
Letās say in both scenarios adds have magic
Whatās the better approach
Depends on the cast
SW reduces by a flat 40%, no matter the amount, Spellblock applies your block value to spells
The higher the damage, the better SW becomes, for more frequent stuff, Spellblock is more useful
I think i have a high amount of that
Cuz whenever SW is up no matter the tyrannical diff bosses do no dmmg for example underrot second boss frontal
Cuz iām stacked on mastery from my fury spec
I have almost no vers but alot of haste mastery
Always
Mastery isn't bad, but you might want to reduce that for more haste >crit/vers
Meeh does it make a diff while tanking
Yes
How much
Crit gives you parry. Which negates the entire attack
Vers gives you a flat damage reduction, which is nice for magic or bleed damage
Ah yea even in fury i sometimes parry the shockwave from the serpent 0 dmmg taken
I have like 19% crit
I thought crit only gives critical block ?
thats mastery
Mastery gives you block and crit block chance with some AP. Block chance is eh, due to shield block giving us a 100% block chance anyways, crit block is nice to have but a gamble worse than crit
Would be a start
Whatās the amount of haste
Yes
As prot you always stack haste
A change in secondaries is not gonna make a major difference, the biggest thing is to learn what hurts and use defnesives appropriately
The hypothetical breakpoint would be somewhere around 40% unbuffed
Bruh
I canāt get there even with fury
Unbuffed u mean even without the 5% haste talent ?
So if you main fury, just stack the stats for that and you can do alright as prot
Yup, you just stack haste
You can do fine with any combination of stats, a decent composition does help quite a bit though
What about revenge
Rage dump
I never know when i should use it
But no stats will make a difference between no damage and melting
IP has a cap, though. And Revenge procs SS so you get more rage to feed the AM engine
Depends on what's doing the damage, you can crit block and parry some heavy hitters in a pack this time and then not in the next run
Maybe we stop job and go live in forest
Easiest way is to know which packs do the damage and adjust, that's why we get SW and our CD reductions on it
Whoa! Take me!

ofc the damage we take will wary, but the blazing slashes in neltharus will hurt us always
unless we use SW or spell block
the bleeds in neltharions lair and uldaman also truck us
regardless of stats
we can parry them yes (some of them i don't know if we can parry them all)
but it's not a sure thing regardless of any amount of crit we get
on the other hand, anything blockable will usually be totally fine
regardless of stats
as long as we have shield block up, which becomes easier with more haste, but with running bolster and ITF it really isn't hard


atm im no longer running spell block
Stats do help, though, as versa would reduce this damage as well instead of stacking haste mastery.
But as we both said, it is best to know what hurts you in the dungeon and adapt accordingly
Regarding these and uldaman bleeds you can just backpedal out of them effectively taking 0 damage
No clue which bleeds in NL you are talking about
Crocs, they cast a chomp that leaves a bleed which chunks for quite some damage
Or the Vikeshard Hulks... Or Rokmora
So on vortex pinnacle, I find asaad chain lightning cast fucks someone up and ruins most of my runs. Is it possible to intervene and use spell reflect in conjunction to reflect the mechanic without it hitting my ally?
Rokmora is fully avoidable crocs kinda just die anyways
Hulks im not sure but you can reflect ? i think
Nah
Also you play immovable object so you just have wall for every frontal anyways
Or rather the bleed
It's just the bleeds that occur in the dungeon and they are chunky. If you get hit by it or not is a different matter
Cant reflect shard
Crocs are dangerous only if you stack some
Aggro them crocs and run
On which trashs are we using spellblock in ulda/nethalrion ?
If you are pulling hulks in neltharion you can use spell block
I dont run it at all in that dungeon
In neltharus you wanna spell block the blazing slash from the wardens (first two mobs and the others that are on the way to last boss)
Hulks ? Big earth elemental that throw shards ?
Yes
Ha ok I see yes.
In uldaman you can spell block a lot of casters
Yes but they target randomly no ?
No
If you have enough kicks and cc you may control them but sometimes the casts go off
i mean the crocodiles
But I don't see which one will keep casting things on me. Geomancers target everybody, dwarfs too I think
Aggro and kite
crocodiles in lair?
before the grubs?
i normally get my extra % at the end of the dungeon for that one, there is 2 packs, 1 of 2 humaniods that do cave in (take them on red lav so its higher contrast for dps to seem cave ins) and scorpion boy too
fairly certain they only target tanks, did 24 yesterday and 21 of their 22 casts were on me
What targets everybody is the unkickable blizzard stone or something
Dunno its nake in english
Name*
Hail of stones iirc
Also chain lighting can jump to your party if you are close to somebody
took me 8 days for 4 piece, 430ilvl and 2k io after hitting 70
Ok, I will try to find which one. I'm always ready for the chain lighting (reflect or cut).
any tips for uldaman? It kicked my groups ass, i already struggle just due to camera angle in that damn place, but with the earthquakes and also 2nd boss fortify adds it got ridiculous
Boss adds dont get fortified i think
we just skip crocs on trash where we can and ignore adds on boss, kill them with damage amp when totem dies
just make sure to kick caster, esp chain lightning
can drag berserkers into boss so he gets dmg amp when they get low
i can manage crocs at my level still, but will def need to learn skip later cause they chunk. Do you stream or record your runs at all? id like to watch your routes
are some vods on twitch, wasn't streaming the ulda
can you link/dm twitch?
/snse
grats
ty
i didnt realize i could get my 3rd piece from the 2k io achievement, once someone told me i just grinded those all day xD
Oh you got 2k too? Nice!
yeah, 2022 right now
next goal is aotc and pushing past +20's at the minimum
i noticed you only went for pieces with haste too.... these are the biggest haste pants i found from dungeons incase you are interested
what i really need is a back, any advice?
i was thinking of crafting pants though rather than keep these
if you are just doing dungeons, only 1 haste cloak, from VP
This gaming year is shaping to be good, SF6, D4, FF16, AC, its like the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse
I got my 4pc on my war and still havent tested it out 
decided to craft boots actually, gonna farm those pants from underrot and back from VP instead
does the recent changes to prot have any impact on the best m+ build currently?
how could overall increased dmg change the build?
3700 gold in 15 minutes from looting those stupid tuskarr chests that are all over the map

except the changes were spell block and tl, so maybe don't be a condescending ass for no reason?
Yeah I was just about to say
Someone got touched by a simple question lol
Yeah I am just trying to figure out if TL is worth running
But no the changes to TL and Spell Block didn't change the best m+ build.
Currently dropped the extra 2 sec on SB and its working okay
just sometimes I feel like its not up and its like oh shit but then again LS is up every minute
please damage reduction from demo shout
plus*
How much vers should I be looking at on prot? My vers is mega low around 11-15% and in struggling to tank certain bosses on heroic
I have 20% unbuffed
Like to keep it around there
Whats your ilvl
There is no number you should be looking for
Alright cool ty
229 in prot
There's no number you're looking for
I main fury spec so my gears kinda all over
i was told skill issue if you rely on verse so i went as close to 0 as i could
š
LOL
Lmao
Theres no number you looking for
Stat prios dont exist apparently lol
15-20 is a good number in my experience though
mastery is so meh
haste and vers are super important
They exist
crit is nice for dmg
You just want ilvl
but always ilvl tell you gear
Crit is nice for def
Ilvl is bigger than any prio
then you can start min maxing
but apparently you don't know what defensive value it has
Oh hi Matt
You can't both be correct
My main hand and shield are kinda ass too tbh
When he quite literally disagrees with your statement
Matt why is Jordan trying to bait us
Jordan is Jordan
Hes always been that way
I'm not baiting
Since we were kids
Idk whatās going on I just got here
He literally disagreed with your statement
Im tired of his crap too
who needs health when i just dont take the damage
mckriel?
Dawn now you talking brother
What is your deal?
BASED
š¤
You win
JORDAN I WILL DEFEND YOU TILL THE BITTER END
no but really i prob should get at least like 10% vers lmao
shit gonna start hurting
Vers is a very reliable stat, a bit boring but reliable
vers is slightly better in raid due to lots of magic dots and other magic dmg, and crit is slightly better in M+ due to parry and dmg
Just get ilvl though
but its small diff and more stats the better
If its good stats its just a bonus
Except with that stupid silent star cape that drops your health due to no stamina
Nah I just want you to stop providing false information
Jordan Im telling mom you're being mean to me
Vers is kinda bad
Matt, dude hes doing it again
Explain it to me like im 5, with crayons
vers is overhyped, bfa is over.
thats not news
Bro Jordan wants you to get a PHD in Versatility to prove his point
TLDR you need a ton of vers for it to make a meaningful difference for DR
Like well into diminishing returns
everyone knows that
Exactly
Unfortunately they donāt
Crayon language is so much better
zug zug
work work
So does Crit not suffer from diminishing returns like vers?
All stats DR
Crit gives more damage than Vers
It also provides parry so somewhat defensive
Does parry chance scale at all with key level? Or is if flat across all difficulties
Your parry chance will be whatever it is consistently through all key levels
The problem with Vers is you need at least around28% to lower the key by one level
And 28% Vers is ALOT
you know, hell, thats not a half bad idea, craft a cloak
at least i can get a haste versa cloak that way!
So itās actually not āreliableā to try stacking Vers as a tank
At least not this tank
Parry chances scale with enemy level as far as I know, you got higher Parry chance vs a lvl 70 Mob than a lvl 72
i have 20% versa atm
But enemy lvl wont change in m+
Yes but dungeon mobs are the same level, their hp and dam scales
isn't there some shit about you DR or the mob attacking you, DR's on parries on you?
You will never stack Vers again unless they introduce a way to get it to extreme levels again like corruptions from bfa
similiar to 3 stun DR rule
THE ONLY dungeon haste cloak, thank god crit is the other secondary
but even then, haste is the lower of the 2 stats
Perfect
well, i might just craft a damn cloak now
Iām doing boots whenever I get the spark again 
i could do ring haste versa if i want to be the true haste versa nerd
So, Icy Veins says that Insidious Chill doesn't stack with Curse of Weakness but, I believe numbing poison does stack with it. Is that correct?
2 haste versa rings, lets go
Dawn itāll be the same for me once I make the boots
Uh, iirc you can stack all 3 for the two bosses it matters on?
Gonna get the underdog legs and the VP back
Thatāll finish my gear I think till I get aspect/hero stuff
And some trinkets
Still not sure what rings are worth it. I have crit/haste ring and onyx right now
Now thatās a tree
Itās too bad they donāt let us respec our profession trees
I kinda get why but would be nice
If you did your Quests every week you should easiely be finished with Blacksmith in link 5 weeks from now
7-8 month without extra Farming 
I was looking at some logs and noticed, many prefer to take up Bounding Stride over Honed Reflexes, is this mainly preference or am I missing something here?
^ for M+
Honed reflex is really a waisted point because you will almost always reset SS before the 1 sec cd from the talent would even make a difference
Is it technically a dps gain? Yes, is it reliable? Nope. Very few time will you gain from it
"If you did your quests every week"
Bro I'm trying to play the game, not work another job.
Yeah I will not waste my time doing the RP shit in wow if I donāt have too
But hey if somebody enjoys it good for them Iām not hating

I was thinking more about the interrupt aspect of it, never gave it that much attention before tbh just came across it now and got thinking š
Oh and to answer your question dropping honed for bounding is a preference yes you could also take something else besides bounding if you wanted
1 sec cdr on interrupt is pretty irrelevant
i really do think i might want to craft that cloak
gives me choice of haste/X and equally balanced haste/X
legs, i can do legs in another 2 weeks past that
i have some weird issue with echo of neltharion in p2, had this happened few times already, after i got debuff, i go to other side to break the wall aaaand... its not breaking and im stuck behind it, on next time i do same thing and it breaks, am I doing something wrong or what?
Nope Iāve been kicked from pugs for the same thing happening
most people who are not a tank donāt even realize that is a thing
Which bosses are you struggling on
You have 500 haste on your currently equipped
I would say negative
And itās hero track
ah, i guess
LOOK AT ALL THAT DR YOU GAIN OMG. .6%
Wicked, I'll do some testing then I think and I'll double check
Where would one see if Curse of Weakness was cast in a log?
nothiing else i can really farm out of dungeons
just lair dps trniket
only forge storm and lair trinket
Iāve actually never looked for it itās probably under aura or debuff
Could probably look at the locks casts too
Probably event casts
Nice, thanks
Stop making sense
As long as the run clears and nobody dies, you shouldn't worry about HPS, yeah

could also mean you pulled like a bitch and your healer had literally nothing to heal
cuz u pulled small constantly
or you're not a warrior
or you had DPS who actually pressed defensives or stopped casts
and you're a bear or dk
never had a pwar outheal me but most likely just only played with bad pwar
always have non pwar outheal
first pull of freehold 21
Oh thatās it?
theres no group heal needed on that pull except for 1-2 shattering bellows
and maybe a poison pool
i just pure dps that pull unless the tank is bad
i have never done a freehold this week without a spriest
actually i
dont think ive done any key this week without a spriest
had a neltharus yesterday where the guy kept mass dispelling at 1 stack with 5 other mobs at 20% tho
having a yogi moment rn fr
are you gonna steal his picnic basket?
but yeah idk i just press healing rain maybe press an AG at the end, no thoughts head empty
chain lightning
Look at how much healing you have received from the healer, if you are his last target oh healing received (and ideally only passive/smart healing) you did a good job of taking care of yourself
take care of dn
i dislike neltharus so i cant comment
man where tf is my xp buff
Iāll take care of yn
It seems I was 95% of my own healing recieved, healer was the other 5%
Whatās the best pandaria rep to grind for cool stuff
the raft toy still owns on extremely random occasions
Looks like you did a good job š You could put more pressure on the heal (if they can handle it) and pull bigger maybe
I have boat from azure span
and weirdly requires rep
Compilation of Mike Matei as The Joker, from Batman - Angry Video Game Nerd (AGVN)
Yeah, the thing holding me back from pulling more is not knowing if the DPS can handle it
But at the end of the day, timing the key is timing the key
Yeah that's usually the problem, there is only so many interupts you can do by yourself
I do feel pretty indestructible if all my buttons are up, its nice
well that comes with running the dungeon enough to learn
Yeah, still new to tanking
What key level are you doing at the moment?
just a +2, still only 380 ilvl on fresh warrior
oh
I feel I could handle a lot more
You can probably do a +2 naked lol
you were worried about hps in a +2?
tanks can fully solo and time a key prob up to like +6 at their appropriate gear levels
ok ok don't take anything the wrong way but +2 is basically you can solo this at 350 ilvl
in +12 lairs i just sit in the spiked tongue and lava wave on final boss
just slam SW reflect IP
why are you doing this yogi
I had that feeling witht he packs. Just unkillable unless I'm horrible
thought "I could probably solo a lot of this"
in the key level im doing it doesn't make a difference
I'm it's a +2 so they CAN'T kill you if you are pressing any button lol
It's difficult to really stress things out in a +2, since the scaling tends to be more severe among higher tier keys; a +2 is barely any worse than a standard Mythic dungeon, so you can get by with some real low gear
Finding it hard to get accepted into other keys if I'm not overgeared
But even in the higher key levels, it's still possible for Prot War to top HPS if mechanics are done well by the group as a whole
Well yeah
lairs final boss, the hide mechanic, is total fuckin horse shit
You're not gonna get accepted into much with 380 and no io
saiys go hide and then i go hide every damn time hit for 1 tick
That'd be because you're competing with people who have a past track record on characters and people who are bungo geared hitting low levels keys for whichever reason (crests for off spec stuff, specific trinkets, etc)
How many whelpling crests do you have @solar rivet
you get 410+ just doing world quests
Like the base ilvl rn is 408
so prob just do that its literally ur fastest gearing track
do world quests and junk until you are ilvl 395+
Run you own key š I don't have the time to play much anymore, my IO is trash cause I have like +15 on one side and ++21 on the other but I can't get anywhere because I don't have 3k io to do a 20
doesn't matter what gear you get, pepega or not, all gear will help u immensly right now
anything weith a higher ilvl
I'm gald I have some friends who needs a tank for their weekly 20 cause otherwise I don't get invited in any groups :/
do the 5 LFD heroics quest is my opinion
Yogi
you get a garunteed 415
that's a different person
let him cook
Unless you're still talking to the original person, then have at it Hammy
if you are a lurker, use the winds of sanctuary buff to level a bear before 10.1.5
trust me they'll own
How are you having trouble getting into groups when youāre only doing +2ās?? Lol wat?
it's not too late to play a better tank
it's not too late to play a better game
picky people idk. The groups I get accepted into dont even know where the dungeons are
ok yogi is right
To be honest since you are so new I feel like your mentality and viewpoint is completely off. Youāre focusing on things that do not matter. Just go in dungeons and learn how to press your buttons well
you can generally ignore that; it's usually based on sheer meme status, and not the good kind
Unless they gave you the OCE realms while you're NA; then it'd be because ping issues
Go to a training dummy if anything
focus on geting your self in the mind set of being a team leader
groups will constantly look to you for what needs to be done
so I should get elitism helper addon
No

???
sarcasm
I've healed tanks who wont press their mitigation buttons on keys under 6, just get some gear and do your basic rotation in dungeons, you will be fine
okokok I go pug more keys, I ran out of world quests
because the base ilvl this patch is 408 and he's 380
i'd decline a 0 io 380 tank as well tbf
this ice cave is really cool
I was on my bear whos like 376 I had no issues to get into 2s yesterday
But I see your point yeah
you also have main score, no?
Does it appear for a new alt
ok tbf people doing 2s dont look at io
ye
and it doesnt, u need like 200 io or something for it to start showing up
At that point u should really just do ur own key though so declines are completely irrelevant
Either way i still think heās focusing on wrong stuff anyway
the first 1000 io is free
For a new alt push your own key to 11-15
is forgestorm our bis wep?
Spam 15s
til not rat gear
Lol
or just bring a very beleaguered alt healer and torture them in 17s
healed a few 17s with rat alt 405 vdh last week, was an experience
there is no waygate to zeralek right
Wyrmhole generator can get there but no dragonscale expedition waygate
ya, i got the wyrm hole adaptor the other day
So ya boi is making some engineer bracers, anyone know what safety component would be best for me to whack in there?
Are you an engineer or no
Prob just the 15% less chance for it to fail if youāre not an engineer with the multiple specialization nodes to prevent tinkers from failing
Not an engineer, just looking for a lil spice
The one that makes it so the brez canāt fail
I did it, btw. It's a bit uncomfortable, but no looking back (or down, I guess).
Someone playing with Alacrious or Watcher trinkets in M+? I am looking forward to chewing health pots like gums with the former one. Worth it?
yer but u have beacon
haha yeah, maybe heroic beacon would have tipped me over the edge š
hmm my raid team want me to tank raid tofday while i never did raid tanking. i dont need spell block?
for what?
just copied some build of wowhead
as in, what are you doing tonight?
just HC
kk xD anything in general i need know? i have thti co tank aura or w/e
nothing really past then the normal tech mechs tbh
really nothing warrior specific to worry about in Heroic
never did normal also. never tanked a raid before atall
this should give you a brief overview of each fight/ taunt swaps, mechs, etc.
otherwise, not much to it
kk ty
I'm number 1 with shit pull.
On 1 try before buff I ended on 83k. At 6.20.
ahh rip
3 beacon crits
yeah i had 1 crit
sup yall, yall know that artifact appearence for prot warr that comes out of that one cave in highmountain. Is that still available to get?
ok
RIP Reddit apparently?
I guess
good lol
Iām not really a huge āredditorā but like it was a pretty nice source of information sometimes
but what else can I read when Im on the toilet?
I cant like, open up disc and read that
that would be insanity!
Inb4 discord starts doing weird things to consumers
yeah imagine them doing weird things
like forcing their consumers into a new username format 8 years into their existence
Yeah, imagine if they threw away one of the best/most convenient username conventions for literally no reason.
That would be just an insane decision.
how much haste is too much haste?
I don't understand the question?
good
just checkin
sooon
its court of stars all over again š¦
How much money is too much money?
4 money
i got BOTH 437 rokmora and talisman now
I mean sure, there's a point where it probably won't make a noticeable difference, but... Haste go brr
got 32% atm, just wanted to make sure i didnt go too crazy lol
To get a serious answer, there's been several discussions around it. Let's see if I can find a Nome quote for you.
