ok tbf that one is understandable
yeah, on that first attempt this week, for whatever reason my brain said get out of the circle and was having cognitive dissonance about it
those guys come with a bunch more mobs
went away on second run
i tanked after a very very long break again, i understand why much pals stopped tanking...people have no patience anymore..its super annoying in dungeons :<
The worst trope is someone who is a noob or you are in a group with noobs and he on purpose goes and pulls more for you not like a butt pull or they don't know how or when to pull more for u
I pull like a fucking madman and I still have people try to pull shit for me.
The best part is they'll bitch when a caster they pulled fucks their couch because they couldn't be bothered to kick
i just go with my +kind of tanking+ if someone does not like it, shit happens....and i did only lvling dungeons so far...i am a bit afraid of m+ ^^
oh ya a question: the wowhead guide for prot warrior seems a bit outdated..or is the neck of s1 crafter neck still good? when i check good warriors who tank mythic raids, not 1 of them is wearing it....which crafting items i should aim for? maybe 1hand+shield or neck?
have you looked in the pins here
The wowhead guide is often outdated tbh. Pins here are always your best bet (as well as #268491842637660160)
lariat isn't really a thing anymore, yeah. crafted pieces are like shield, belt, boots, wrists, etc.
You want 2x shadowflame for embellishments this season
Or 1 shadowflame and frostfire belt
^
ok thank you guys 🙂 will check pins
What's the timing to not miss a reflect on Dagrul, should I just be popping SR the moment landslide goes off?
shit always feels so tight
Just pop it as you're running back. You have like 2 or 3 seconds easy
Or as you charge, idr if it knocks you far enough to charge
Running back... charge is your friend
Okay u saved it
I don't play pwar right now
Sadge
Deadge spec
Well, not entirely true I guess. I do a key as prot now and then but I'm enjoying fury rn
Refuse to believe pwar is dead,I played it s1 of SL and I'll continue to play it forever
getting the reflect is easy, I just mean if I pop SR as he's casting i'll have like .5 seconds before its off cd for the next one
Fury hurts my hands too much now 😦
Old washed up pwar
This, reflecting 2nd boss is the hard one 😦
Yeah you can reflect first and second, cd third.
Gotta precast the first one for this to not be too tight.
But you can also reflect first and third, and cd second, as the magma wave gives you plenty of time for the next p1
Yeah you can't reflect them all anyway
Just every other
Well, third and then 4th because magma wave
That's probably better as it should give you a shield wall for 5th or 6th that way.
Haven't checked the timing of the reset of sw
It's around a minute
w/ proper play ofc
But you also have a landslide w/o a magma crash either right after the wave or maybe the next one? Idr off the top of my head
GHASH HOW AM I TO LIVE WAITING SO LONG FOR MY VAULT
idk Jordan but I am ready for mine too
How many vaults you have this week?
My phone kept trying to autocorrect that to balls
6 I think? Pal, Rogue, War, Druid, Priest, Hunter
Mage, Warlock, Rogue, Hunter, Warrior, DK, Druid, Monk, Pally.
9 vaults. That serotonin hit.
feelsgoodman
Jordan I did very poorly with leveling this week
😢
(the 68/69 ones are gonna be 70 once I do professions)
Enoper 
I was pretty proud of that one. And Evochra till I found out I misspelled okra 
Okay yeah SR every second with a SW in between felt a lot cleaner
it really feels like you can SR them all though with proper pre casting
as of this very moment there is exactly the same number of Prot Pallies as Vengeance DHs in title range in EU/NA.
vdh confirmed dead spec
what?
huh?
Smallest io jump for title range too this week, season ded.
Coincidentally the two smallest jumps in title io were afflicted weeks. Guess that's the worst affix this season.
I don't mind afflicted personally but know a lot of folks who hate it
Yeah i'm more likely to contribute the two smaller jumps to D4 release (first afflicted week) and TR access granted (this afflicted week) than actual disdain for the affix.
I think if VDH doesn't run away with it after TGP, this could end up being the most "balanced" season for tanks in M+ ever.
In a wizard meta are PWars and Monks just destined to be bottom two in popularity no matter their strength?
The main issue that some classes can't do anyhting on them but I like it better then Incorpation
More classes can do something to incorporeal than afflicted, though.
The main issue that you can stack CC on the same incorporeal, that can't happen wih afflicted. But yes, more classes can do something about it.
I like both affix makes us use abilties that we didn't use any more because CC trash is somehting we don't do
incorp is good
afflict is meh
i've had a few fun tense moments with incorp where we had to perfectly sync kicks for one
and that was cool
would not be surprised if afflic does not make it to s3 but incorp does
I still would like 2 different colors for the incorp, so when 2 spawn you can coordinate more easily than "near/far"
idk we're in the mail it in part of the expansion
maybe
people are speculating the slowing release schedule is the consequences of the like
10.0 wfh employee kerfuffle
or rather slowing balance changes and shit
I actually don't think they'll remove any affix after one season of it actually. I don't believe in the mail it in meme.
idk afflic and incorp are just too similar but one is just way worse
i'm sure they can think of a cool different affix to try out
But what makes you think they'd delete an affix after one season sample size?
We've had bad affixes last multiple expansions, so one lasting more than one season isn't really that wild.
mostly because i feel like it's too similar to incorp
Is entangling getting removed too?
but yeah maybe 1 season sample size is too small to shake things up
Because it's equally similar to volcanic
no i think entangling is actually reasonably different from other affixes
I like entangling. It's better quacking
being able to clear it via snare clears is kind of interesting
Well, if I'm on a spec that can do it, cool. If not, I just pretend the affix doesn't exist.
i like the affixes that let you use class utility to clear em
My party dieded in Season 1 Halls when we teleport the same time and quacking was trigger ☠️
entangling is a joke affix (mostly) for sure but idk
Yes, that is true. It become issue when people don't get you in PUGs.
Affixes being similar to each other (which I don't consider afflicted and incorp to be) isn't really a reason to remove them
Yeah, tbh I haven't had a huge amount of issue with it outside of I think one key
we will have to see how afflicted is next rotation around 🧐
Dispelling and CC'ing are quite different interactions.
well of course not
The only similarity they share is a mob
People seems hype for no affix week when Blizzard forgot to set them. It would fun just for one week to see how it goes 🤷♂️
but they are eating a gcd on occasion, insofar as "affix that yoinks your attention every 30/45s" it's very similar imo
just my opernyun
it'd be fun for one week sure
No affixes would be boring as hell in my opinion.
yeah no affixes suck
But after a week, it'd be like welp what do we do now.
Yeah no affixes just means everyone would giga push that week and then you'd just...have nothing to do lol.
That is true
And if it was only for one week, then what's the point in doing keys any other week because you aren't going to do keys as high with affixes than you would with none
I was thining like still Trash week and Boss Week. But it will be push weeka nd maybe too easy
That'd be horrible design
You'd be encouraging your players to NOT play any other week
A lot of the difficulty of keys right now comes from fort and tyr. I'd say those are a good ~60-70% of the difficulty of a dungeon, if not more.
Especially with some affix combos
rampage
oh mb
Yes, I agree. It would be no affix for the whole season. I agree affixes makes it more fun for M+.
Thats fury mindset right there
yeah sorry !:
KEKW
We love you spitfire.
the spec was made for me 
Yeah uh
Why are you pressing so many buttons before your first CDs 👀
should be Ava+Reck+Charge>Ravager>Rampage>Spear>Rampage
ok, thanks for that already
why doesn't timeline show half the CDs
wtf
hello WCL?
oh because it's set to damage done pepega
Is this true @warm plinth ??
the strat for hoi first boss is now to drop the puddles on the boss as a group, and all 5 run out of the puddles with the boss?
why the fuck would that be the strategy lol!
So 5 people can take damage instead of 3???
apparently someone's response was
This is the meta strat regardless of comp. Typically you will have a priest MD the debuff instantly and everybody will run out of the puddle. Lock gate can be nice for this
"regardless of comp" "typically you will have a priest" ok dude
that does seem to be the strat for high tyr
you just use movement cd for every one
cuz yeah the dot tick is way worse than just mding it off
but then it's not regardless of comp
Yeah, it's "if you have a priest"
err yeah saying regardless of comp is weirdge
but even with a spriest they run oom after a bit so you have to use self snare dispels and shit
oom from what?
errr
I'm just thinking how many casts you have to do. Does the shortened CD have it up for every overload?
Because that'd be a 25 sec CD
it's always available, you just run oom on a long tyr fight because they regen slow
idr how close they are
Idk exactly how many mass dispels you get before you're oom
but spriest has self dispel with fade as well and prot pally and shit
so i think you're supposed to just rotate
rio's new vod feature is so pog for something like this
🤔 Does snare removal remove power overload? It's not a snare or root?
ah maybe i'm just remembering dwarf or some shit. it's been a while since i've watched my friend do them
You have it for every one
and the mana for it for every one.
as long as you're spriest
and not any other kind of priest lol
Oh they're not consistent
but they save major movement cds every time
It's kinda wild they did 24s so early and it's slowed down so much now
i mean i don't need a vod of someone else's run when I can see 80 of them rn
vod dn
really not that uncommon.
I wonder if the healing requirements this season are like
something they really intend going forward
Especially considering like, you don't have avoidance on TR.
Is Neltharus Fort freer than Freehold? Because of chains.
i hear high fort freehold is kinda wacky with the damage intake, like lots of random sources of damage
with the ricochet daggers mob w/e it is
I think "we" have to find a new route in there.
isn't the giga high pull strat for nelth fort just insane chain abuse
yea
4 minutes under on a +27.
I just don't think you live a +28 of some bosses even on fort.
bruh what
the highest nelth clear was 4 minutes
under time
tf
It's literally just that team
minmaxing the fuck out of nelth
amazing
I hope we get some of these TW teams in TGP
Wonder what the Echo bois are cooking up
Why is this of all the seasons the one I want to get back into healing
its fun tho
Challenge is fun
is just a bit mentally taxinf
Can spam keys on tanks or dps but healer kinda need a break after like two
hello guys !
aho young warrior
👋
any decent vids for prot tanking? General priorities, rotation and cd use cases? My brain turns off reading text dumps.
Well priorities and rotations are the same thing
And cds just mostly use when they're up, a bad cd usage is better than no cd usage

Alright I guess. Coming from XIV tanking so it's obviously more different than I thought.
Ok I will give you very short cheat sheet that will get you started

Protection Warrior - Cliff Notes Edition
1. Use the builds in the pins (pick the one for the content you're doing).
2. Keep Shield Block up at all times.
3. Use all offensive CDs (including Demoralizing Shout) on cooldown. This also includes Last Stand once you have 2pc of the current tier set.
4. Use Shield Wall frequently; it has around a 1 minute CD with proper play.
5. Priority rotation is Shield Slam>Thunder Clap>Revenge regardless of ST or AoE. Revenge is your primary rage dump. If you're at risk of overcapping either because you can't dump fast enough with Revenge or you're getting a lot of SS resets and can't cast Revenge, you use Ignore Pain.
6. Refer to this for mechanics that are blockable, reflectable, or spell blockable. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS26lkSc_eaulHX7-UY8Uu-7DAHvkScxh3npd0kQn3uvvWsgsQm9ducLUi4R2mb7ieNluVilyq5sQe5/pubhtml#
Pinnable
@queen dock ^
Holup let him cook
The urge to turn down a 10ilvl upgrade because it has vers and mastery on it
🤔
Uh oh
on the flip side, things to look out for that you might be doing bad as protection warrior
That's helpful too, ty yogi
kekw
guys prot warrir stat in dungeon is crit haste?
haste + x, crit is slightly better than mastery or versa
thanks
I can die happy ghash added me

Pins are already full and we tend to try and avoid long messages in them, can ask nome to update the faq with it tho
I make smol
Prot War Cliff Notes Version - #protection message
How Block Works - #protection message
Common Mistakes - #protection message
But that might also be a no as it has max char length
So having the links saved probably the best thing
I'm just gonna paste this from my disc every time someone asks a basic question 
can probably consolidate some of the pins, too
tbh we should use message links more in our pins. like instead of having a giga long pin, you just pin a message that's just a link to message you want to pin
Like the IP WA doesnt need it's own pin
True
or Stance swapping macro
Like instead of this wall, we could have like:
Common Questions: #protection message
Tbf that shit is just copy pasted from FAQ
I mean that is the faq
lmao
And people struggle to find that so I'm just very lazy
i agree i think we need a FAQ section
We have one 🙂
I mean ppl dont check the pins ither
It's 1 long post, not very thematically linkable
THAT PEOPLE DON'T CHECK PINS?
Besides linking the entire thing
i think most of the annoyance comes from people just not knowing much about pins
discord should give pin walkthrouhs
now ur expecting people to do mechanics to get to the pins
maybe it's one of those things where people don't understand what a pin means
ya i think that too
Like how kids dont know what the save file icon is
lol
I mean, you gotta pick your battles. We're not gonna have Discord 101 classes in the prot war channel XD
It's funny because it's true
you dont see that on mobile
true
Again, gotta pick your battles.
Our job is to teach prot warrior, not teach Discord for Beginners
Would you say that the overall is higher or lower in tyranical vs fort? Did 85k in HoI 21 yesterday and felt kinda good about it but some tell me that for high keys I should pull t least 100
Fort, because you're hitting multiple targets for longer than you are on tyrannical.
And you do more damage in AoE than you do on ST
Job... wait we're supposed to get paid
I'm just here because of the daily 
An RPer invites all of us to Goldshire inn every sunday for a job well done
your gunna get paid in flightstones and shitty gear you dont need and your gunna like it
yogi spitting facts today
ok it's time for 
Good night friendos
Love you @sick sentinel
Love you @crude notch
sleep well king
Always higher on fort
4 hour down time heads up
good luck on your vaults kings
who needs luck when you've got the homies winning for you
Who needs luck when you get insanely lucky on your prot warrior then get told to reroll dh cause dh better for sark 😢
sounds about right 
Tbf it's never been a better season to be a raid tank main. Insanely easy to gear up an alt
Doesn't really matter if your main is shelved for a couple bosses almost zero gear diff
Yeah the crafted catchup system is pretty legit
If you want good vault, don’t play for 4 weeks and watch blizzard bait you back with juicy gear in the vault
Works every time
If we’re crafting for 447 gear, are the crafted trinkets crap?
Unless you have full 447 in all non tier slots I tribu you are better farming trinkets. That being said it probably won’t matter too much unless you do really difficult content
considering the vast majority of 447 crafts are (minus M Echo/Sarkareth 450 loot) actually fully BiS
it's kind of a waste of sparks to make trinkets out of them, which are all easily replaceable by farmable dungeon trinkets
Especially since in 2 weeks megadungeon releases which ALSO has 441 trinkets
Gotcha. I just hit everything 441 and ran out of goals. So thought I’d try for all 447. Lol
But wasn’t sure if the trinkets were useless
Got it. Thanks!
4 hour downtime means 12 pm est?
What is mega dungeon??
Or 1 pm?
Spoilers if you care
It's like tazavesh or whatever. It a big dungeon
Ooo thanks!
A megadungeon is a million dungeons
It looks like it drops 421 gear?
its not today tho right
if i have to do that maze crap today, im guna lose my mind
lol no it's in 10.1.5
July 11
i feel like it should be like, if its only 1 guy makes it but rest can skip, like, its like you have to take a slow ass bubble
the bubble skip of shame
shun, shun the bubblers
yah, begon paladins
I mean there is a skip
I'm not sure how many people need to finish the maze
but once like 1-2 people get to the end there is a portal or some shit
it's really not an issue
Are servers down now?
very very soon
server will be down?
within moments
fuck
rip push week, i should have pushed alot harder
i think the statistics showed it was very much not a push week
how do you get into +20 group? I've been lucky to join one, timed key, other no in time, and can't find single group to accept me , am 2.5K rio and 441 ilvl
I had the same issue
443 ilevel and 2500+
Got into like 2 all week because I’m not a pally haha
some group state ( only pala or bear )
i got quite alot done this week, gained about 95 io
I guess i need an alt now 💔
i need ksm before i need an alt
hahahah
I mean, just use your own key
You are a tank
If you solo post a key you will get a hundred signups
Even if you have to wait 5 minutes to fill your key what difference was there from waiting 5 minutes to get into someone else's key
First off, the fact that you think you're getting declined over ONLY pallies, proves you're just blowing smoke out your ass
Because I hate to break it to you but Pally isn't the meta tank any more.
I truly don't get you guys whinging about 2500 io not using your own key. It literally won't matter what key you run you literally just need ANY keys at 20
i see a ton of variety in sign ups for keys for low keys below 15
thats true, am sorry mr @crude notch .
So what if your key is a tyr hoi or whatever. Brick it and you'll have learned
every tank except dk gets lots of invites, tons of bear druids some reason
tons of warrior
You're not the only tank applying and if you're sitting at 2.5k you're not the highest io person applying, stop being weird and blaming the spec and the meta.
stg people treating their own key like its some holy grail and literally never use it
i tried using my own key in 9.1
jordan, that's too personal man, am just chatting with people
it's really not because you're not unique in your complaint
that didnt work well , so im not as much a fan of that method, not invalid method, i just don't prefer it
this is like the 500000th "i'm X io and i think my spec is why i'm not invited!" complaint
Ever since M+ was put in
And it's literally still not true
Yeah this isn't aimed exactly at you @unique cobalt
actually before that people bitched the same way about raids and regular heroics and shit too so
Notice how I didn't hit reply on anything you said or pinged you
True, am sorry again.
Wait, you weren't even the one that said you were 2.5k and blaming pallies so Idk how you viewed that as me going after you.
LMAO
i think alot of us are forgetting the terrible raid experiences we had in original TBC
they are, jordan
Anyways if your gear sucks and you don't enjoy the class then reroll, this season is great for it
The noob is still prevalent, we just have more addons
Kanga
I think you misunderstood my point. Not talking about meta at all. It’s because pallys have dispell this week and we don’t.
so invite a ret pala or hpal
Make friends and play together. M+ isn’t made for pugging
problemn solved
I think I take socket like 3 weeks in a row on my warrior and I am very happy for it
VDH and BDK don't have the dispel either
i just need to do enough keys to get a 441+ helm sometime within the next 5 weeks
well played ret paladin is a god
Now incorporeal week now that DK can CU it, good night. lol
Yo kanga
I did my own key
On my MW
and was like y'know what I"m a gigachad I can do this without any dispels
Quick question: do you generate more rage in battle stance than defencive stance or is it the same amount?
If you're so pressed about afflicted, use your own key and invite 4 other people who can dispel
I’m so confused about the blow up haha
never again
I did use my own key all week
💀 even on my shaman I don't do this
use the weak aura that shows whos already in the group
so you can see whats in the group BEFORE you join
and then you don't run into that problem as hard
Someone said they were having issues getting invited this week. And I said I am too. Because people keep telling me they aren’t inviting because I’m not a pally with dispell. That’s all. Chill bruh.
if you're using your own key then why are you having trouble getting invited
The story don't match up chief
Literally the only thing in any key I ever have to focus
You do the invites
lol
He keeps getting his key depleted so he tried to apply to some keys he needed for io
I mean
He's said it before
Only time I use soothing mist on a target is when it's an afflicted soul. 
If the key depletes it is like 90% of your fault
If you have invited people who would deplete the key
Wait 2 more minutes and invite someone who is higher io, who is higher ilvl
You have no obligation to invite the 422 dps to your +18
There are listing things you can do to attract people into your group more easily
Lol I was just replying to someone who said they were having issues getting invited.
+14 LAIR healer, works
And I helped explain why.
Can anybody assist me with something. I'm aware we have to be in battle stance for m+ but do you generate more rage in battle stance, defencive stance or is the rage generation the same regardless of which stance?
Rage is the same
Doubt, theres bad dps on 21s as you'd find on a 17, io makes no difference
You just want to minimize Dstance usage because damage clears content, tank damage is substantial
Removing 15% of your damage is not good
Generally you should not have to dstance ever below like 22s given that you're appropriately geared for the content (i.e. not doing 20s at 420 ilvl)
So battle stance just for dps increase but the rage is the same regardless of stance
I have to agree, best way to move forward is to make friends, reduce the pug affix by having more people you know are solid
BStance is more a defensive gain than DStance because a dead mob does no damage. Don't at me.
Everything else works the same sure. It's literally just the passive effects listed on each stance
TLDR yogi implying dk worst tank
yeah idk, i never have problems running my own key maybe I just know what to look for
kinda weird
How many spark of shadow flame should we have at this point?
4.5
kanga I'm prolly taking socket this week on warrior
well no, i dunno, i see alot of of the other classes and it doesn't seem like see alot of dk, i see alot of variety and not only paladin and bear
is the point im after
Crafting mat for pally tho
There was some guy a few weeks ago who complained that he depleted his own key from a 21 to a 14
Gonna make 2h
And like idk man. At what point do you recognize that you are the problem
NO SHOT LMAO
Thanks. And what is the catch up mech if you did not do the quest each week?
It was in here
dude paid for a 21 boost the week prior
Just do stuff
keys raid
Just do content
That's crazy
raid is the most consistent
oh yeah that sounds way more likely than what I was thinking
Ok I feel like I’m off one or so. I have crafted 2 pieces and have one left.
gets a 20 boost, gets a 21 key, giga deplete, seen it coming from a mile a way and story old as time aint it
Check your bank
Yeah I never really thought setting up a group was a skill but the more I hear people's horror stories about depleting their own keys the more I realize, maybe it is.
Honestly it's really comfy knowing that I WANT to take socket multiple weeks in a row rn. if I get the like 2 out of 400 items that are good, then it owns, but otherwise I mostly want socket
wait wait wait are you telling me I should actually VET the applicants to my key?
I’m so lost. I did use my own key. Pushed from 2200 to 2500 this week with my own keys lol.
i don't
I had to do some last minute heroic pug on my shaman last night at 2 am to get 3 vault slots on my shaman though 💀 that was so cursed
Ask them their star sign
first people that sign up are typically first ppl i invite
Yeah I’ll look again if I have the splinters and didn’t realize. I did 2/9 n and 8/9 heroic and about 10 M+ this week and I don’t think I got a splinter
i went through 6 different heroic groups
to get 4 boss kills
and wiped three times on magmorax of all things
I did a rq 13 FH On my BDK and was top dps.
but i don't put the keys together any more, i just join keys i know i can time
By 20k
yo what's your sign? I gotta know if we can comingle or not


Yogi I also don't vet people in the sub 15s I do on my rat alts
/gquit
Because nobody fucking signs up
i'm kinda afraid to gear up my VDH because 11-15 horror stories are kinda wild. however i also suspect people complaining about 11-15 keys are uh, running into personal skill issue
also if i just hit 70 at 10.1.5 then surely there will be more people playing again
bro 11-15 on a mon(na)/tue(eu) is pinnacle rat city
can confirm
yea def do not want to do it on monday
Did it on my dk a few weeks ago
“Comfort pick”
Made me not do keys on him since
but i mean, 11s you can time with the tank doing 80% of the dps so it should be ok
the real problem is when the character needs to spam 17s for 441 gear...
Just use your own key, keep bringing it down to 11 and call it “crest speed farm” then pull like a mad man. Got really good people in groups constantly.
Wtf 4 hour maintenance
16/17
is prot viable now
Thats lingo for "healers are saying you are hard to heal but we are not willing to blame them so we blame you instead"
the other thing that has been kind of weird about VDH to me is that they take like 3 GCDs of setup to establish threat in aoe, which is kind of spooky
It was always viable in your hands big boy
Yeah we still +2'd the FH 13 with me doing 80k and the dps doing 60k, 40k, and 30k ezpz.
No, absolute trash
idk, I applied for a guild, got into one, carried them to server second, was a good time for me
Fucking Vicarious had to show us up at every corner though
❤️

Not for you
everybody bullyfango time

More like shamorino
shhhhhhh

the VDH aoe threat setup KINDA feels like ppal to me
in that optimally you don't want to AS early so you can pool resources
but maybe i am just bad at ppal
they need to give VDH bloodletting
I've been dpsing on my warrior and I hate it
also I guess a major difference is that ShoR does big aoe dam threat
Jordan can I actually play my prot pally now without people calling me a fotm reroller?
but I quit for too long and the tank slot taken in guild
Wild dps war is so fun rn
have the leather bdsm hoes overtaken the pinkmen yet?
dps warr is good
FUCKING TRUE THO
arms owns
Both specs are really hitting their stride in like tuning and gameplay
Unfortunately that fury dies without its teir
You mean you wish Arms felt as good as prot, no?
Fury next tier = 
really? i think pwar still feels pretty good, my biggest and continual complaint is just demo shout GCD
All they had to do with afflicted was "If afflicted casts you get -x% haste, if you dispel afflicted you get +x% haste" boom
I said what I said
i guess I also don't really like timing damage cds around demo shout
don't like that part at all
but it's all mostly because demo shout gcd
I'm so tired of affix complaining ngl
Just don't, send on CD 👍
prot warrior feels good tho
literally if it just wasn't on gcd all of my issues with prot instantly gone
wat
Just fucking dispel the ghost
Yeah, if you do this, you are losing like 20% of your dps unironically
hard to heal? I just dont get healed lol
Not saying prot feels bad
Not really tho, you better have one more cast overall rather than 1 less but better cast overall
I jist love how arms feels

YA DIG?
arms does feel good for sure
you don't lose any casts if you sync it with demo shout
Im a digger for sure
demo shout's cd literally lines up with all of your dps cds...
that's
why you dont take thunderlord
💀
all the time
we were 5 healing experiments and I was recieving around 5 million less healing than4 heal groups, as I was hiting like rank 1 healing parses
no holding
So why would you have to hold it then
Thunderlord or not, you just send it. If it aligns, great, if it doesn't don't think about it
just sync it with shield charge once and dont think for the entire fight
kanga think demo shout is end all be all
thunderlord is like a useless talent
have to hold and sync all the things
huh? i never mentioned holding
full send

hold w, dont look back
never look back
only look back when there is a mistake

even then you just push forward
so you can learn from mistake to not make that mistake again
It might be a bit less damage in AOE but it's more uptime on a 20% DR. If you need the DR it's good. You do loose some damage in AOE but gain some in ST. It's not a big enough deal to be thinking about it too much to
truly, I am constantly reminded of the primary reason why I never invite prot warriors
every day

Cause you are already a prot warrior in the key?


plays prot warrior, never invites prot warriors
if u need more demo shout there are bigger problems
Say that to the R1 prot warrior I guess lol, he is using it often
one day i'll understand this emote
Weird take

we're not talking about the r1 prot warrior cause anyone who needs their class discord to help with talents isnt the rank 1 prot warrior

My sides hurt
Aww shit I tuned into prot cord at the right time today
lmfao
Why is this so scuffed the fuck
AH SHIT
we're like half an hour into downtime and chat's already lost it's fucking marbles
We were discussing genocide and milkshakes simultaneously in fury earlier
stfu William Knifeman

I'm just answering the comment about thunderlord being useless, it has it's uses if you need it. Also I just said before it's not a big deal anyway
this is what happens when you delay people's vaults
thunderlord garbanzo beans
garbanzo
Imagine being an Andy Andy
Nome and Andy were tlaking
About a turtle build
that included TL
so heck you TL haters
stfu, I'll ride you down, all rugged like
who the hell is andy
I talked to Naowh once 
I'm definitely gonna need to turtle up in my +9
Yo daddy if you don't stfu

This is that stupid taszavesh trinket all over again "Well the top players are using it in their 29s"
You have no power over me
not even remotely close

Thanks
And honestly you're obviously new if you think codex was the first time this discussion has been had
I still use codex
Not really tho, NONE of the prot warrior were using the trinket in their high keys
On my frost DK
vers amp v. td. etc etc etc

Heh
anals
Anals
anals
they definitely were cause every five seconds someone would come in here and remind us of it
there was that french prot warrior in week 1-2 of M+ that was doing wacky shit in 24s and people kept begging questions why they were playing wacky shit
That was a fun couple weeks
its such a bait like if you need thunderlord for content you're either bleeding edge for keys or playing your class wrong
nut in the annals
anal nut
just do dam
need more weird 
no
dumb bish
quick, someone insult nerf or something
bully them
I run TL and use whirlwind to aoe
it's not worth debating, this is literally the one tank discord that's hellbent on wanting to play badly
High key, tlords will not break your talent set up
based
something something his team carries him
what the heck
prot warrior attracts the boomers 
It’s not
Trust me
Nah he caught us
like you're not really losing much going SL over SoF as long as you press your damn demo shout
the worst one is HoW don't at me
does blueprint still play
TRUE
That guy owned on ppal
yeah he's playing evoker
nerf is best prot warr ever seen
nerf is a beast
Nerf 
never die
I've checked the top 10 prot warrior, with a quick search I was able to find at lest one +24 key for all of them with TL in the talent setup. You do what you want with that information now 🙂
^
after testing
can you not read?

I guess I missed your message 🫤
No 
no reading andy
I watched a stream with a dude running 24's on the weekend, died at least 3 times per dungeon standing in choreographed aoe
Therefore standing in aoe is mandatory to run high keys
here i'll say what i said in another chat
🍿
bated breath rn
Reality is it's not the build that makes that level of key work, it's the player. For the most part, you can take one of numerous builds for BrewPWar and achieve R1 keys for the spec (especially when it accounts for less than 5% of all current title eligible tanks) as long as you and your group are good enough. That doesn't mean the build is ideal for everyone, nor does it mean it's the best at all key levels. It means one guy with one build found four other gamers and smashed some keys.
Somehow Blizzard has made Brew's (and some other tanks really) tree flexible enough that you can succeed with pretty much any build within reason. (Someone comes in here and says "What about a non-BoF insert ridiculously required button build?" I stg)
This season we're not reaching the key levels (yet at least) where damage done or tank survivability is what matters. So things are gonna be more flexible because the wall on highest keys currently is group damage and there's not really anything Brew can do for that.
So at the end of the day, does it make Equinox'sinsert pwar's name you're referring to build objectively bad? No. Does his success on it make it objectively good? Also, no. It just makes it good enough as long as YOU'RE good enough.

your copy failed
well i mean i think you start needing a decent amount of external tank healing from like 22+ but not on tyr mostly
especially since pwar spell reflects most of the tankbusters this season
Where did I say you wouldn't need an external
damage done is definitely not an issue in keys this season yet, which is kinda funny. people not having issue with timer when pushing
literally just living through shit or not
So what build is best right now for prot warr
cram it apb
yeah but
And even now you read my very words
Too late
always posting bait
It is done.
but have you CONSIDERED
I appreciate apb's chaos.

What if I told you they’re not fake or bait
We have apb and yogi chaos posting daily
it is very entertaining
yeah well I appreciate you!
keeps this chat alive
I knew you'd appreciate that.
yogi is our resident koolaid man
i wish I had the time to play more i really want to try brm and hpally before the season ends
SERVERS UP WHEN?
but no shot i have the time for it
Yogi is the champion of the arena
HELLO SERVERS?
The ai confirmed it in his duel with Nomeratur yesterday
slams through the wall, says some goofy shit, fails to elaborate and disappears
when yogi said he gained 95 io this week, i was hype af
i'm subbed to yogi's m+ adventures
Literally an infinite % gain from zero
@sick sentinel we need a video today
Barbaric Training is going to be a necessity at some point, mark my words
I like it
made it myself, im somewhat of a theory crafter
fuckin' useless lmaooooooo
Free boss now
Zzz
It's such a shame you have to take Booming Voice just to activate BSV
Just /gquit
Ok so slightly less free
Just pug instead will be better than your guild
But it’ll be easier than rashok surely
we have like 90 pulls 1.2% on rashy
our dps is so bad
at least we're not bdk levels
My old old guild
the worst part is
people in my guild being like "we're over the average # of pulls for rashok!!"
Are there boss nerfs this week?
and honestly I don't think that's true once you exclude hof guilds
Good
I think rashok is realistically an 80-100 pull boss personally
40-60 for the really good guilds
I mean idd in theory but guilds at this level don't have great rosters
Like half our pulls happened with no druid in the raid
Is this it? With the accidental over nerf on Sark, will they need to nerf anything else ?
Rashok
It’s the wall now
rashok lava ways prob
why not use avatar anymore ?
Yeah was thinking maybe rash
well, there's somewhat of a soft nerf in 2 weeks with the myth track gear, right?
also aren't there usually much heavier handed nerfs near the end of a season
fake build dont use that
Mid 300s world rank
i'll see you all with CE with 2 days left in the season 🫡
I’m starting my trial with a HOF guild tonight
cant wait to binge another race to world last
I wonder if we get 10.2 on PTR soon
probably whenever they announce 10.2 itll be ptr so maybe a few weeks after 10.1.5 id think
They started 10.1 PTR before releasing 10.0.5.
oh, okay, but do u have a good build for sarkareth ? i didnt got my aotc, im receving a lot of dmg for some reason, my ilvl is 434
I predict
i need to find a good 2 night guild but it's really hard to get into a 2 night guild, let alone a good one
and my parses suck dick

Ya I want a 2 night guild
Yet here I am joining a 4 night
video takes 40 minutes + 100 minutes
🤡
that's a nightmare
100 is for HD render
I want a 1 night 4 hour HoF guild who's with me
the worst part about being 3 night is we already waste so much time
like in terms of actual in-combat time it is basically same or even less than a 6h 2 night guild but there is legit just 3h of buttheadery every week
boring
Who wants to start an 8 hr Saturday night guild with me.
yes
If I'm not wiping 40 times a night for 5 days a week, whats the point in raiding?
if you want theres a few talents you could swap, like instigate for impen wall, or unnerving focus for impen wall. Could also drop like sidearm or overwhelming rage or pain and gain to pick up intim shout to deal with adds
If I’m shitting daily what’s the point in wiping?
ty man
are servers up yet
no
Is “Born to shit, forced to wipe” too long to be a guild name
I need people to post 447 tier vaults and be like "this is the worst vault I have EVER had please just KILL and MURDER my family for this bad rng"
I have like
My vault was terrible last week and I got a 447 forgestorm and beacon
3 total vault options across all my characters this week
I had to take tokens
Probably, I had to turn "Fuck you and the server you rode in on" into an acronym and I hate it
Push the trash out of sanguibe week
what is the afflictions this week ?
still hella annoying
necrotic is ez
🧑🚒
Ya sanguine is worst affix
Of note dk can ams Afflicted so I don't care if people don't dispel
necrotic just stupid affix. I dont think ive done a key of necrotic since the nerf
what
yeah fort sanguine sucks 
do you know what necrotic did ip?
IPissandOfferCum
should i fill out 16s on my warrior to attempt to get a catalyzed 447 helm for 10.1.5
hmmge
More like it haha
Also, kekw to necrotic as UFR bear
Only time necrotic was annoying was mobs that were cc immune
and in those situations have a paladin
like c'mon now
necrotic was only annoying when it was paired with bursting because you couldn't get healed lmao
just bubble/spellward the necrotic off??? lmaooo so stupid!
Reduced healing, when you don't rely on self sustain to begin with?
nah just have them bop it off you
spellward necrotic, this ain't legion
yep
ye
in bfa
💀
because of bdk
LMAO that sucks
"wait we were the best tank for necrotic noooooooooo"
That's okay Ursoc's Fury ignored necrotic reduction so bear was just lmao
You could get 99 stacks of necrotic in Halls of Atonement and just never die
really tho post nerf in SL necrotic was an absolute joke
even in ardenweald
stack every other melee? like bruh lmao
Lots of stuff did tbh
Pally shield throw absorb, brew koth
Pwarr just blocks 4hed
hell yes warrior bros we can shattering throw incorp this week
Yes bulwark fell under the same category
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The "can someone link a spec with shattering throw for this week" questions
They will come
bdk just CUs
You cannot stop it
I just don't understand why they didn't tack it onto wrecking throw
do they even play their own game?
yeeeeeeee
Pwarr is best for these new affixes because it’s great I dont gotta do shit
Let the other losers take care of it
Even if it was wrecking throw it'd still be worse than pretty much every other class cuz it's way longer cd lmao
I agree but still
I agree more from a dps standpoint
tank wise I'd like to be able to assist
at first I thought that then I realized fuk it lmao
The gap is pretty noticeable now actually
So .. What's a safe talent to drop this week so I can help with Incorp?
You don't
Is it incorp or afflicted that's 45s cd
i literally only did one key last week on my shaman so idr
They have similar CDs
one is 30 and the other is 45 but I can't remember which off the top of my head
okay, so say I want to help - what do I drop
Just fear the incorp when it’s almost done casting
our beloved, beautiful bounding stride 🥲
incorp is 45s and disappear when you drop combat
Toss a storm bolt
oh then wrecking throw would be insane for incorp guilford
ur wRONG
it would literally be the best ability for it
? ? ?
CC can't be broken
So it basically would do the same thing
Yeah idk about being the best
ok i double checked afflicted is 30s cd
