Oh my lord that was a train wreck
No keying this week
I'm the worst prot war in history I'm pretty sure
weekend chill keys
kanga is just 
I charged into barrel smash, got knocked out of it, then got harpooned back into it 
Very powerful
I think I only pressed last stand like 4 times that key because I kept forgetting that was a thing
just finally got anvil
I only pressed anvil maybe 6 times
choco's 4th highest damage was the last stand bonus somehow
another warr traded me it

It was nuts
U also didnt press SR for oiled blade a lot the first time it got eaten by a bolt then u didnt press it again 
I need to go back and delete these posts so he doesn't see me complimenting him
because he already has a massive ego
I thought I was mistaken and you couldn't reflect it, so I gave up
AHAHAHAAH i'm vekttor, hate my rolls
Trust in Sense trust in the sheet 🙏
it's just a 0.5s cast time or something isn't it
My reflexes are way too slow for that shit
Ok welp time dilation 
Yeah it's long enough to reflect. I just used it too early and got a bolt
from the squall dude
the healer was not dispelling the debuff either which was scary af
this reminds me of how I thought I couldn't spell reflect lightning lash for the longest time because I just fucked it up like two keys in a row
with boomer reflexes
but hey we take that
and then I checked the logs and the last time I was 0.05 seconds late 
not bad for first prot key of the season
i swapped to holy to give gorddy's pally rashok
didnt drop
forgot i swapped to holy
ashkandur dropped
roll need
(offspec)
I keep telling you
I have both a thursday and sunday raid you can come to
Ashkandur is literally completely uncontested in the sunday run
I have a heroic one on my pally who doesn't even have a ret spec ever
Dude I'm crying rn
wow that was amazing
OH MY GOD THAT WAS AWFUL
ahahaha
ghash
My guild also does one today (but like kinda late tbf) where no one would need echo loot except the warlock class trinket
at ~11 est
yeah kinda sucks for me since tues/thursday xiv raids :\
and that one has like 24 people in the raid so ash is guaranteed to drop
more or less
Yeah but at 11-11:30 est?
No way
8pm to 11:30
i mean
Ok just saying the offer's open!!
anvil can proc eranog ring correct
i'm said it like 5 times!
Yes
ok well ill consider it next week
like both the passive and active component right?
just gotta uhh do anvil boss and not win anvil
Yes
i mean amalg
on chip 😄
I think I got my anvil from the dungeon weekly
I mean I guess i must have, since I haven't raided on this toon
at least chipadin has baby normal mode anvil
nah, normal box
nope
bonus spark time
wait
i have to actually go to oathstones to swap this trinket
ok bag it is, too much work
you're a foolish fool
lol
it actually sims lower than what i have for ST so ill deal with it later
even with full buffs
i tried all of them too lmao
stats/haste/crit/versa
im guessing it resets on relog
MOUNT
fuck this is what happens when i get a trinket 3/4th in the season jesus christ
fire mount
paladin in my guild says "get the cloak its good for survivability im unsure what he means exactly
hes talking about the sporecloak
its not good for us is it
basically heals you if you drop below 30% health or something iirc
generally none of us use it really
so, i should do normal cloak? or a ring? i have a base 404 teleport ring
ring comes with a socket, will be 447 regardless whatever i make
cloak has more stats
more importantly, cloak has str and armor, and is generally harder to get?
i forgot yogi ignores what we say
wdym, sorry, i just don't have the patience for the sims tbh
Smh
Oh I got yelled at for using pie charts this week by someone
They used this quote on me
A table is nearly always better than a dumb pie chart; the
only worse design than a pie chart is several of them, for
then the viewer is asked to compare quantities located in
spatial disarray both within and between charts [...] Given
their low density and failure to order numbers along a
visual dimension, pie charts should never be used. -- Ed Tufte
apb it wasnt you atfu
thos is dogshit
why are rhe specs alphabetical
such a stupid ass fucking decision
LOL really? What’s wrong with a pie chart
damn you just got ed tufte'd
Ahh yes thought so
Oh shoot! That’s actually a good option now that I’m already full sockets
why is fury above enhance
its ruined
that tenders for 5 bucks is huige asmongold malding bait cotent
surprised hes not already online bitching about it
he said not tenders alone
i mean
thats the dsfinition of jumping the shark
put in a new system, less than a year later make it pw2 essentially
yeah true, but it is hard to say this is effectively not just a $5 for 200 tender
unless you cannot purchase it more than 1 time
i am not sure if you can or cannot
then again a burger at mcdonalds costs 5 $
so, wtf,
is it really that big of a deal? im not so sure
gonna buy it and test if it can be bought more than once
prob cant buy more than once
id rather have them put up just the costumes and no tenders
Ion: They won't be sold standalone but they'll be in bundles.
Blizzard puts it in bundles.
Community reaction: :Pikachuface:
oh i didnt know about that bundles must of missed that
transmog is the real end game and money maker for blizzard
dress up doll simulator
I dunno man
People get all worked up over buyable stuff
Who cares if it’s cosmetics
Mog and Mounts. Because those are the only things that persist through expansion item and level inflation.
I bet if you could buy max ilvl for example people would eat that up totally
I do not want that
But I bet it would sell just as well
People willingly throw money away for convenience
@crude notch Sneaky monk getting those invites
Yep LOL
man i legit do not care if other people can spend money on convenience or cosmetics
don't fully get how people get so worked up about this
and other players can see them
I agree what people do with there lives is there own business
You want to whale a video game good for you I guess lol
i like how the name is simply holy paladin
like, i know its a details thing, im just too dumb to know how to do it
is poop deck a real word about pirates, turning out to be fairly lame and boring
and if so i need to know more
it's a real term about ships
but it is very lame and boring yes
Holee fucking shit
I just got the god vault
@daring marlin
Are u ready for this shit
Is there a Haste cap for Prot Warr or just stack that shit to inifinity?
@lusty grotto
@lusty grotto damn I'm late too
Awesome, thanks!
Apparently you really needed my priest too
the good thing is I still need vp on my pally
Uh
no i think we woulda bricked that one regardless to be honest with you

LOL
riiiip
I don't wanna play wow after losing 97 roll on call to chaos
it's actually not that good for fury 💀 but i'm gonna take it anyway
Maybe I'll learn arms for Sarkareth
fury yuck
wtf is that
interdasting
i hate tyranical VP
cuz inevitably stand in a thing that gives a stack, healer freaks out we wipe
This week is 7.5 sparks right
yes dear
I feel like all races should have golden eye options if they're paladin
That'd be sick.
silver blue white for paladins as well, priests
purple for warlock
caster only thing
or 100% immunity
Why does the aberrus paladin tier look so dog
normal def best
immunity in many shooter games is notated by glowing yellow eyeballs and careless expression on doom guys face
is 2x shadowflame still simming as bis emblishments even for m+ ? like even in aoe
for the player at least, and in pvp, it can also be haste buffs too movespeed shoot etc
What the god damn hell is yogi talking about
normal mode is too desaturated and I hate the shoulders
RF is the only good appearance
wrongo
actually heroic isn't that bad but you'd need different shoulders
Also the aliasing on the gem on the chestpiece is... really bad?
I SAID KEYS KEYS KEYS KEYS KEYS
no I couldn't WITH NIM
cuz he only gets on at like 7
i'm literally!
logged in rn!
running in circles around valdrakken!
Loser
ok let's do keys then

my 3.2k io main score isnt good enough for these 15-16 cretins
Like?? Huh??
where is this guy
join the party noob
it takes like 2 min to do a tusk run now
the d/c and reconnect scroll is the longest part
why is there a holy priest in my group
L
do warlocks even haste
On bracers would you take 441 w Leech or 447 without it?
447
ilvl
holy moly
I thought so i just hate losing the leech lol
only time u dont take ilvl is when you dont get armor or main stat (str)
on boss warlock did
who needs reflect anyway
I was in a halls run with disc and shadow priest, aug and warlock. I was a perma pi target for that key and it was glorious.
bruh
🤔
For why though?
actually no idea
it was only a 17 UR too
maybe he just realized he had to go poop
Oh
He's right outside again
He just reformed entirely
With a VDH
Fascinating
Probably because he realized that one out of 5 can't take care of one of the two incorps that pop up on every single round of them. Cause our cd won't let us do them all.
we literally have a havoc and a bdk
won't say that if they hit you with the debuff!
u literally did like 70% of them
loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I barely even do it on my pally when I play it... Because cast time while tanking.
yo mama
tbh doing it on pally is mildly annoying
helps with the giga haste prot pally rols with at least
1.2s cast pretty quick
Honestly biggest annoyance for me on pally is turn evil's 20 yard range
wish it was 30
but muh blind 😦
yeah yeah yeah
Who knows, maybe he could bang in that 19.
Oh shit.
Miki Matsubara 松原 みき- 真夜中のドア Stay With Me 1hour loop
Enjoy friends
I can usually tell how a key is gonna go by the first pull. If dps jumps the gun and causes chaos it's gonna be shit. If they don't and the first pull goes smooth it'll be easy.
wat
holy moly
ROFL
Still pretty new to the prot world. is there anything we can take for incoperal this week, or are we at the mercy of the puglords?
Mmm, technically yes. Realistically, leave it to the puglords
say less
well, only things that work are storm bolt (single target stun), intimidating shout (have to have the incorp targeted and use it), and shattering throw (talent that you can pick up.. sort of annoying to get though)
You can take shattering throw or menace but we can only do every other or every 4th one with those
copy that. flame pugs>take responsibility
Plus menace requires melee range
real question time
I don't think the pally has cleanse on their bar
(i already alt f4'd)
i'll admit it
mitch was NOT
ready
for the +19 UR
😔
also guilford kept self griefing
i griefed a couple times too 
mitches top damage was fireblast can anyone fact check that
ok bedge time

I'm staying awake till vault ez clap
that's more than 3h away
Dedication for the socket
Oh snap that wcl dps overlay sounds pretty rad
https://open.spotify.com/track/2BHj31ufdEqVK5CkYDp9mA?si=521e28d65beb4175 I got thsi on repeat rn
Legit based song to tank to
hell yeah yogi
Server shutdown time to play some ESO
well, time to go farm some noob wq like rafts and races and whatever
need a few for tenders points
I kinda wish i bought a kebab
Too late now

oops
kekw blazehoof
hes not exactly wrong imo lol
@proper roost I shoulda got my augvoker buddy 
how many keys u guys deplete
i deplete every key i do not time
i can never time 24 vortex 
prove it
true fans own bro
i hate this quest
Pro gamers do what that one guy did in Shadowlands. Walk on treadmill while doing PvP carries
yo wasnt that bajheera doing that?
HE WAS GETTING PI
only once pusccc
HE GOT THE PI
choco do u think echo first kill would be long enough that anvil would be good on it for fury
over same ilvl vial
yes
Kinda leaning vial cuz of p2 and p3 cleave but im pretty sure killtime is like 7-8m right
for a first kill
vial is pad noob
choco just tryna stop me from parsing on god
it's gonna be a /roll
Yes

He makes me want a standing desk and treadmill
same
Bajh owns super cool dude
me vs rigg
i will not win
ez 30k steps a day min lol
I think the ring is a huge upgarde for me but idk about this shield ?
Do you have a 441 shield
did you craft a shield?
If no, take shield
currently using 447 primal molten shield
Ignor shield.
oh then do not do shield
ring it is im still ona champion 8/8
@proper roost HOW WAS NAP

are you like old or something?
I'm the inverse.
boomer kanga strikes
PST w/an EST guild
jesus fuck anvil is so much better that it's literally unequipping OCE over it @south zealot

wait isnt pst like 2 hours behind?
damn so hes starting late as shit
common kanga L
yes lol
fight length?
Anvil haters are cringe
anvil owns
Anvil is wonderful, but I made the mistake of telling my guild I had a 447 OCE in my vault.
oooff
And it's 447
my anvil
it's an M+ trinket at this point QQ
At least they let me go bronze
So it's not a complete shitshow
but damn, losing like 3500 DPS makes me ache
Hey guys I've been Working on this guide for a bit, would love some fellow warrior's opinions, thanks guys! https://youtu.be/bIGx-APd6F4

i run vers willingly
prob cause its least common?
They put me in the windfussy group tho
so
Not all bad
They know that PWarr gets a shitload of absolute value to raid DPS compared to other DPS.
vers is fine
i just didn’t want to ever have to switch it
Just keep pulling
only like 200 dps loss
Anvilbrain feels like bannerbrain
That's fair, it's almost within margin of error anyway
Nice
majority of classes want hastse or masyery anyway
i think my raid randomly lost its obsidian buff
idk who used to have it and i'm too lazy to track it down
lost dn
I'm running crit as arms for my guild it was within 100 when i simmed so it was nbd
kanga it's time for a new kitty pfp
Clear words, pretty useful macro (especially for the folks in here who don't bind hamstring for some reason...), good footage. My only complaint is that 8 minutes is far too long a video to cover one macro. You kinda repeat yourself in slightly different ways a bunch of times. Maybe go in with a script that you've run through a few times for future videos and trim down the intro portion.
yessir
Ghash said it perfectly, one very minor note would be you said pve pve at the end 😛 either way* good job!

oh this one looks bad
Go next
ok i'm midraid placeholder for now
summer strawberries are so good holy
SHIT
Is it me or Forgotten Experiments is just unfair as a Prot Warr? Even spamming ignore pain + rotating defensives I get destroyed. On my other tanks I never suffered
yep it's a bit harder
hey man thanks thats some great feedback! I will def. take your words to heart thank you! 😄
Sure thing, we can always use more warrior content
It's not unfair, it's just going to be brutal.
Call for externals at 4 stacks, time your debuff clears preceding big raid mechanics that force a lot of movements.
why is nobody mentioning AA slows
literally the first thing that needs to be suggested
Let your cotank hang with Rionthus in P3, use Intervene to scoop a single stack and focus on clearing.
i'm hungy
Because it's not gonna save them from playing bad.
i just had some fresh summer strawbs
I watch PWarr flop at 3.5 minutes in so many logs, regardless of slows.
also we didnt ask what difficulty
It helps, but it's not the issue.
also
why does everyone forget SR DR
20% free magic damage reduction to make you take less dmg on ticks
every 30s
No idea, but there's lots of magic overlaps where the impact of mechanics tends to be the spikes that kill you while everyone else is getting healed.
there, i got those smithing points you guys wanted so much
I kinda just sent mine unless nothing was going on/no dots.
But there are good spots for it where roar overlaps mid-stacks.
But making sure you have no stacks in volatule or breath
huge
almost completely done with engineering, only 59 points to max knowledge
i mean SR is up every 25s, there's no reason to hold it
just press on cd
swap to dstance on high stacks
listen
this is me looking at every single question regarding Exp
as an observation
did you notice how he said
literally the first thing he said
was "spamming ignore pain"
out of everything in our kit

Honestly, Exp is kinda the filter for warriors that know what they're doing versus just kinda slapping a keyboard semi-rhythmically
or that hes only sending SR on high stacks
It's made me think a lot more consciously about movement, positioning, and what is happening to the whole raid group.
I notice a lot of tanks move instinctively back, which ranges them from healers further.
so if the first thing he mentions is "spamming IP", you have to ask for logs, you have to suggest AA slows... going down to specifics might not be the best idea on when or how to optimize SR use
And I see a lot of people not clearing before big raid movement.
I dunno, mate, if they're not thinking about boss timers and damage overlap in Mythic already I feel like that's just gonna be the hardstuck boss.
yeah i would agree
thats why we gotta start from the basics
because he might not even be talking about mythic version
we're assuming a lot of things
remember he has done it on other tanks
idk how common is to swap tank classes on mythic difficulty, that just makes me doubt
yeah but not on prog
i guess
but if he has done it on multiple tanks, then hes not on prog
he's probably talking about heroic
and if hes on heroic, aa slows dont matter, tell the other tank to taunt at 7 and clear fast because its a snoozefest
...people struggle on N/H Exp? 
and cute 
sry, its not 59, its 69 engi points i need for max
i had to make sure to tell you guys
@south zealot actual question
should i rage flask for echo
it is a 500 dps increase

yes
i pussed out yesterday but then i realized
I don't get hearts anyway
So how would I die
i just normally use health potions for when i get low hp and thats pretty much it
i almost never bother with str potions or some kind of attack one
Sorry, had a tough day at work, I couldn't read the chat earlier.
Yes, I was comparing in heroic vs Monk and Pala.
I am in defensive stance and rotate from 4 stacks Demo Shout, then SR, then Shield Wall. But I don't have shield wall for all of them
odd time used to do engineer bombs, but they are way less useful in combat these days
who wants dumb numbers
the bfa bombs were over powered compared to what we have today
dont be in defesnive stance
your tank should be taunting or you should both be clearing at 5 to 7 stacks
only swap to defensive if more than 5 stacks
pop SR for the 20% dr at 5+ stacks
SR down? demo boss
both down? wall
clear stacks are super healable in heroic, your healers shouldn't have a problem
hanging at more than 7 stacks for an extended period of time? d stance, continue using SR/Demo/Wall
you should NOT be spamming IP for no reason
that damage is more than healable, and stack clears and taunts done correctly should make it not seem like youre made of paper
do you have logs?
i read legs, i think it's time for bed
how good is 447 screaming black dragonscale?
sim
tl;dr it's fine but nothing special
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KzFkB6mNwC92Qq1V#fight=16&type=damage-taken this is the reclear i did today this is rashok im an idiot
notice how the VDH took a shitload more damage than i did wrong log
and he was taunting at 10
sometimes not always turning on defennsive xtance liks mostly in healer is bad or i am standing in or about to stand in a bunch of bad
i dont if healer is better player
i SR'd 2 times?
in hindsight i could have SRd a lot more but fuck it i was there for a reclear and parsing kind of
oh whoops
i linked rashok
lmaooo
not all trsh mobs list all abilities on bigwigs where i can asign the banana peel sfx to reflectable spells easier, i uaed to do that in bfa worked okay
am too dumb to make tje missing link reflectable spells as weak auras
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KzFkB6mNwC92Qq1V#fight=13&type=damage-taken this is the correct log
yogi nobody is talking about reflectable spells
you cannot reflect anything in Exp
Spell Reflection gives you 20% magic damage reduction
thats why its usable in Exp
it lowers dot ticks
for the whole 5 seconds it lasts
anyway 2 walls, 2 SRs, 5 demos
one dance to dstance
and back
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KzFkB6mNwC92Qq1V#fight=13&type=resources&source=169 heres a handy graph of how my HP moved
i didnt go down below 50%
do you take induring alacrity instead of focused vigor in m plus too?
no this is the pinned ST build
because its a raid
check pins
also you never drop focused vigor
ah shit i thought i had made the swap from ED to instigate
:think:
thanks for mentioning it i gotta fix my talents
you broke it
in pins its the other way around
Pay no mind to his talents; he's big noob
we got him 😄
i really cant decide between an upgrade to my chest from 441 to 447 or the black dragon scale 447.
on one hand i want that trinket alooot kinda like it on the other hand it seems like the chest upgrade is better
😦
when do we consider replacing beacon 441 with a 447 trinket?only sim or there is an argument to be made about more stats?like primary stat instead of mastery etc..
that last one is no argument
it doesnt exist
you replace a 441 beacon with a 447 beacon
good luck 🙂
i hate that
i really want to have choice its been two seasons ive been force to use one trinket all the time
i mean its been like that for a while
at least SL S4 i was wearing the same dinar trinkets so
🤷
sure
its a decent trinket, but its not on use
so why would you replace beacon with it
you'd have to sim against mark of darg or anvil
im a warrior im not smart i zugzug my sword and shield i dont know about magic and gateways
the on use on Black dragonscale only works if youre like 10 yards up in the air
it doesnt work on leap
it kind of works on VP on the last jump to last boss
thats about it lol
maybe in nelth
so you never use it
so its effectively a passive trinket
yeah you are right
btw
if your leap is down and you wanna land without dmg, the on use works the same way
you take no dmg when using it
so like blink, leap/charge/intervene or disengage for big falls lol
not that it'll happen but just something interesting about it
its really hard for me not to take scale but i guess chest upgrade is better
thanks mate
Oh my guild does it at 10 stacks, this may be why. This is our last kill: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/7xbGDnyHfvTLQAaK#fight=6&type=resources&start=1658038&end=1901786&source=13
yeah i wouldnt do 10 stacks with your healers lol



is there a haste cap for prot?
@lusty grotto
(356 Avoidance) ilvl 441 head vs (socketed) ilvl 437 head? Is avoidance worth it as a tank?
Avoidance isn't useless but you don't make decisions based on tertiaries unless it's an identical item at identical ilevel. The socket would be more worthwhile than a tertiary by a mile.
That being said, head is a pretty high stat budget item, so I would sim it. The str gain might outweigh it (assuming you already have a primary stat gem)
Socket is worth 10 ilvls alone
Well that's not very nice
What's "low"?
the trashcan who made a FH16 take 28 minutes because he waited for every spiteful shade to despawn before pulling the next pack
that's low
😡
i'm never not tanking weekly keys again these people are enraging
@ionic fern hi ily
Hi, ily.
Damn, was that me?
Mwahi did you see the clip of my amazing gameplay in my first prot key of the season
tbf when I tank spiteful weeks people seem to want to hang around and fight the shades
it's fucking annoying
Probably not.
why does your game look so weird
I've done the exact same thing tho lmfao
brain says zug zug
you zug zug
hm since I already have 447 two handed sword, 1h sword and shield, what should I open my singular m+ 447 slot vault as?
Arms
I need to do more than 1 key a week lmao
You don't get raid trinkets from m+ vault right?
no
so it literally doesn't even matter what I open as right
not really
I have 447 forgestorm
Then just open it as arms imo
My druid is gonna be more geared than warrior
End of this week KEKW
But because i crafted better
druid is fun
Just did a 19 BH and flt so good
host your own key
I got UNDR and that place depresses me
18
I might be able to get 3.1k rio on warrior this week tbf
As prot
Ez key
2nd boss of underrot is just a key killer in my experience
idk why people can't just SQUISH THE THINGS
Yup and 18s attract colourful people
Bruh i got insta declined from a 20 without them reading my note by someone with 1.9k io

That's just how it go
Trust me I've spent enough time raging about that shit
now I don't do keys that aren't my own
or a friends
why would i read ur note
So this week's affixes are pretty shit hey
lol
Very easy week
Honestly the affix changes were great
There's no weeks where I feel like "yep, I'll pass."
bolstering kinda sucks but it's so much better than it used to be
What are the affixes this week?
Tyran, Incorporeal and Spiteful
How are you guys managing it? I just bricked a BH 18
Wdym how we manage it?
There are literally 0 affixes here that affect us.
You just gotta hope your healer DPS'ers deal with Incorporeal and you're golden.
Kite the spiteful's and get incorporeal's early right?
Spitefuls don't even go on us.
ignore them both
Yeah, the DPS was dying
just vortex when the mobs are dying for spitef.. oh damn right, we have no utility
Sounds like it wasn't YOU who bricked the key
We have a ton of utility tbh.
we got a lot of stuns
I like to abom limb on dk when mobs die and kill my team
spellreflect is king
fear is pog
sHoCkWaVe
That's on them then.
I'll storm bolt the ghosts if someone's about to die to it
Just Shockwave and hope they don't mong.
shockwave and run off so my team follows otherwise
if they don't folllow I ragey
"why the fuck are you fighting the ghosts"
gz
lol
People can read i guess
shockwave+fear gives you a lot of control in aoe pulls
you can legit stop entire packs if you know what you're doing
an example being the cloudburst pack before first dragon in VP you can effectively stop every cloudburst with your own kit
and there are other examples
wdym weird?
the colours seem off
oh
My eyes are broken
Eh? I diddn't even see a difference.
