Which Race do you think is the best one for protection warrior? (M+ and Raid) do you guys think it makes a difference?

sick sentinel
#

Dwarf M+, raid doesnt matter

rigid badge
#

And on Horde side?

sick sentinel
#

Belf/Tauren imo

Female orc best bodyshape foreal

#

If there ever was a race that had a racial like "YOu can no longer be dazed" i would 100% go that race on any of my non-tank characters.

#

Getting too tilted being randomly de-mounted by dazes.

restive crown
#

without taking into consideration regarding utility and dps, how would the tanks be ranked if we just take into account tankiness?

sick sentinel
#

TBC shadowmoon valley was fun with the boars

#

Daze tilts me more than anything

restive crown
#

druid > dh > ppal/brew > war ?

sick sentinel
#

Huh?

#

You mean tier list?

restive crown
sick sentinel
#

DK >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Everyother tank

restive crown
#

ohh yaa dk

sick sentinel
#

Had this discussion in DK discord, Someone said "All tanks need same amount of healing which isnt a lot"

stuck basin
#

war is tankier then brew in most szenarios i think and in lot of cases tankier then pala and dh as well

sick sentinel
#

out of all tanks i've played war needs more healing but is tankier than Pala

warm plinth
#

Depends what you consider tankiness I guess.

restive crown
sick sentinel
#

DK struggles with huge damage such as a 30 NL sunder (My guess) when Pwar can spell reflect that

warm plinth
#

Like am I tanky if I take a lot of damage but heal it back? Or am I tanky if I just don't take damage in the first place? Or both?

sick sentinel
#

There is many scenarios

#

Tank oneshots are a way to determine tankiness imo

warm plinth
#

And are we talking on pull or once the pull is established

sick sentinel
#

BDk not tanky on start of pull until 10 bone stacks and at least 50 RP

#

I get heart attack on pull

#

Till I DS

#

Then it's a breeze

#

Pwar SMASH

restive crown
#

guess i am just wondering how much other tanks are more or less durable compared to pwar, against like NL piercing shards, chomps, or big pulls in general

jagged pier
#

we are the weakest for shrds and chomps

warm plinth
#

BDK will literally always be the best tank against shit like that

jagged pier
#

because we dont heal our selves much

warm plinth
#

(shards/chomps)

sick sentinel
#

I agree

warm plinth
#

Big pulls in general just depends on the type of damage you're taking. If it's all blockable, we're the king

#

If it's mostly magic, we're not

sick sentinel
#

I dont even kite gators in ULD as BDK

#

And i play orc

restive crown
#

so big pulls in FH, dk > gdruid > pwar > the rest prolly

#

but big pull in uldaman with casters, we the last again?

jagged pier
#

no we are king there

warm plinth
#

Nah pwar owns freehold. It's not even really a competition

jagged pier
#

its all blockable

sick sentinel
#

But the salamander bites Pwar can take more instant hit than DK

stuck basin
#

have you seen the first pull on 31 NL with warri tank in tgp - guess druid could do this as well but others... questionable

sick sentinel
#

Insta purgh 1 hit is a thing

warm plinth
#

Only damage pwar should even take on first pull of NL is the hulk

#

EVerything else is blockable

sick sentinel
#

Last stand on pull i do then when things are grouped 4 set kicks in

#

5% reduction into shield wall

#

Feels good

warm plinth
#

Whereas something like BDK would probably not do as well (and it would require a lot more skill and resource management)

sick sentinel
#

^^^ Yes

#

You also need a mob in melee range constantly when running doing pulls

jagged pier
#

this is why u cant say x is the tankiesst tank theres too many factors

warm plinth
#

In any case, there's not a really concrete answer

#

Right, exactly

restive crown
#

interesting

jagged pier
#

if in general u want to know what tank takes the least damge on average

sick sentinel
#

If you dont deaths advance nados and you cant DS midair you most likely purg

jagged pier
#

thats pWar

#

always is

restive crown
#

didnt really think that in depth lol

warm plinth
#

And tankiness isn't the only reason people bring x spec either.

sick sentinel
#

Theres like so many variables

jagged pier
#

we are designed to take the least damage

#

as we arent designed to heal it back

#

so in general

#

warrior is always lowest on damage taken

sick sentinel
#

And thats why i think Pwar requires more healing than most

#

Not by much tho

jagged pier
#

it doesnt tho

restive crown
#

but i am very interested in the pros and cons of each tank in relation to damage taken

jagged pier
#

it requires the same because we mitigate far more

warm plinth
#

Prot warrior does not require more healing than most

sick sentinel
#

I'm just say average so im saying from average player perspective of playing these specs

warm plinth
#

Tanks require hardly any healing this season unless you're a monk, and that's just because of how their damage control works.

sick sentinel
#

I'm learning tbh

#

FH i feel like a god on PWAR, ULD i feel bit weak

#

Until after bromarch at least

warm plinth
#

Idk, I've not tanked Uldaman on prot war but most tanks hate chomp

#

so it's not just us

sick sentinel
#

It really hurts

#

I died twice

#

😦

#

But monk healer wasnt the best and im not either so

#

22 Uld

#

Still timed

restive crown
#

i dont know how to do chomps well cept to just keep running non stop

sick sentinel
#

^^^ Yup

#

And dwarf racial helps

#

Shockwave carapeace

#

Druid just laughs

#

Spam regen

warm plinth
#

Druid laughs when incarn is up. When it's not they suffer just as much as we do

sick sentinel
#

Agreed

#

But PWAR can't tank 23 uld at 416 like druid can

warm plinth
#

Well, maybe not quite as much. They do have burst healing and ursoc's fury

#

which are very useful against stuff like that

#

We'll probably never know since I doubt anyone is going to try

sick sentinel
#

Not 23 my mistake 20, I did a 20 with 416 druid

#

He was fine

#

I attempted 23 with 437 druid

warm plinth
#

People were doing 20s week 1 of M+ this expansion with lower ilevel than that

sick sentinel
#

"Not me tanking my friend was tanking

#

Druid OP with aug

#

So is Pwar tbh

#

Any tank actually

warm plinth
#

who isn't OP with aug

sick sentinel
#

DR is op

#

But if I remember the 20 uld I did with the druid was before aug

restive crown
#

druids dont need to kite chomp?!

sick sentinel
#

I mean it hurts but not as much as other tanks if incarn up

#

Just spam ironfur regen

#

10 stacks op

#

That's like 30k armor??? I dunno

#

I honestly feel like a god on druid

#

But I've seen druids die to chomp so

warm plinth
#

Ironfur doesn't have any effect on Chomp

#

There's no reason to use rage on Ironfur during Incarn unless you can't prevent overcapping w/ Raze alone (think of it like IP and Revenge, except for them it's only during Incarn)

sick sentinel
#

Ah didn't know ironfur didn't help, but I'm rage capped most of the time so I just dump it on ironfur

#

In incarn

#

Then spam raze

warm plinth
#

Bleeds go through armor; it's why they're so dangerous

sick sentinel
#

Oh yeah and thrash absorb shield is so good

#

It's almost like our season 1 4 set

#

Not close but similar in a way

warm plinth
#

Well, Thrash is mostly just to get rage, since it gives you rage per damage instance. Raze is where you get most of the absorb shield

sick sentinel
#

Oh you get it from raze too

warm plinth
#

yep

sick sentinel
#

I don't pay attention then lol

warm plinth
#

And Maul but obviously you're not using Maul in AoE

sick sentinel
#

True

strong forum
#

Bear reaches armor cap with like 7 IFs or smth

sick sentinel
#

Yeah i saw my armor go crazy high

strong forum
#

Like passive pwar has like 25k armor

#

Pally with sotr up has 35k armor

#

And bear with 7-10 IFs is like 60k++ armor

sick sentinel
#

Doubt imma get 99 parses but im gonna try

round linden
round linden
#

passive Pwar has approx 3 to 4 IFs with shieldblock, which is more than enough for physical damage, and bear can have 7 IFs (again useless) only with a lot of mobs and incarn

hardy snow
#

its not useless in builds with thorns of iron

round linden
#

it's useless because thorns of iron have far less DPS than the razes that he can use for the same amount of rage

sick sentinel
#

Beacon with avatar or does it not affect it

#

I actually never thought to ask that

#

morning all, what is to much haste this season and what Crit % should i be aimming for this season as well, cos i think ive maybe of focus to much on Ver

#

thats my stats at the mo

#

the haste is before adding into the fray

jagged pier
#

stats dont matter

#

u aim for as close to 7100 haste rating with the highest ilvl u can get

#

thats it

tawny meteor
#

ok

#

just seen a lot more people running high crit this season

#

though it was for the higher parry rating

sick sentinel
#

Those stats are pretty much the same as the average on murlok io

#

i just sim for DPS

jagged pier
#

well if u want to deep dive thats one point way crit is used

#

but theres also the fact that u dont need the vers

#

and crit is more offensive

#

but again stats contribute about 1% of your overall stuff probably less

#

its more about play

tawny meteor
#

thanks for the help just one of those people like finding out about all those numbers hehe

#

i got flame in a +22 last week for having essence and mark of dargrul on and for not having a tanking trinket on lol

Can you still block/parry/etc during the cast of Beacon to the Beyond?

No iirc

Would you know if it's affected by any modifier (except crit maybe)?

Thanks for the quick answer too 🙂

I just go beacon and I was lucky Enough to get OCE (447) and Mark of Dargrul (441). Should I follow sim and use Dargrul with crit or use OcE with Haste? Beacon beats everything anyway so this one is kinda locked in

go crit for more chance beacon will crit

use the dropdowns

ok thanks! I guess I'll just run it a few times for each combinaison then

dusky canopy

Go to quick sim, paste your simc string, and at the bottom click “copy to advanced sim”

lusty grotto
#

but why

dusky canopy
#

Then you find the #actors line in the bottom for “show input” and you paste what nome told you below it

#

Because it compares all of them at once, the copy isn’t accepted in a regular sim it shows the error he mentioned

only the people that want score are the ones usually left at this point anyways, what?

noone that does 25s plays for the gearing

jumping on invisible hamster wheels isn't fun

anyone that says so is just justifying logging into the game

lusty grotto
#

and what you find fun

modern brook
#

at the risk of putting words in his mouth, IDT jakey is saying "slow gearing is fun" as muhc as "people play M+ to gear, and when they finish gearing, they stop playing m+"

#

which is like inarguable

jagged pier

dusky canopy
#

I know I have said this before but I’m the kinda weirdo who would like to just log in and right click BiS gear from a vendor so I can just play for score and raid prog

jagged pier
#

its a generlisation but a true one 99.9% sure

crude notch
#

There's people that do that sure, but that number isn't as high as you think.

dusky canopy

Obviously that’s a very small minority opinion

modern brook
lusty grotto
#

im with jordan on this one

crude notch
#

Yes people will do m+ just to gear, but there's also people that don't do m+ at the start of the season because they're raiding.

lusty grotto
#

i dont really care about rushing

#

at least not any more

crude notch
#

In fact people that push for score usually backload their pushing.

lusty grotto
#

i used to, but honestly i dont give a fuck about getting every giga fast

#

being timegated behind a vault isn't gonna make things faster anyway

toxic pewter
#

where is the line though, like would you actually like it if wow was just loadouts

dusky canopy
#

To me doing worse damage than someone else because they have the better weapon or trinkets is just shit

topaz field
#

yes

dusky canopy
#

Assuming equal skill

topaz field
#

any competetive enviroment may it be raiding or m+ should not be based on rng

jagged pier
#

there should be a bis list but that atm would be locked behind vault anyway

#

i mean bis raid wep is

#

and i cba running dungeons to rng it

#

i fucking cba

dusky canopy
#

On the other hand gear progression does give some excitement, like it’s definitely fair to say getting that sweet item does feel good I’m not denying that

topaz field
#

give me my fucking essence already Ion after 14 boss kills

lusty grotto
#

well i feel that cause i feel the same way about raid items

#

i shouldnt be forced to fucking reclear with dumb pugs

#

for a beacon

#

or an anvil

toxic pewter
#

why not

lusty grotto
#

because i dont like to do it

toxic pewter
#

why not

lusty grotto
#

just like jakey doesnt like to do keys

#

for the same reason

toxic pewter
#

I like to earn my gear

#

with time investment

#

it means something to me

jagged pier
#

doesnt like doesnt even touch on it XD

topaz field
#

yep i can agree abp but then where is the horizon of that time investment

its pure rng

and that sucks

time investment means nothing if its not fun

jagged pier
#

still dont have a 447 forgestorm

and ive invested a lot of time

like more time than most ppl

#

and 90% of it wasnt fun

#

as i was pugging 20s

toxic pewter
#

gotta keep going

jagged pier

because my guildies would dont like m+ got their gear with crests

toxic pewter

never give up

so thats part of the problem

we have 2 endgame activities which collide with each other

#

Great gear progression though

topaz field
#

i never got icon season 1 and now i havent gotten OCE

toxic pewter
#

honestly Ion has given in too much to the determinist.. we have too many ways to get good gear.. these profession items being mythic level and even easy m+ giving mythic lvl is all wrong imo. Need to scale a lot of it back

jagged pier
#

or however long its been

toxic pewter
#

need to make gear worth something again

jagged pier
#

until like last week

timber terrace
#

I'd argue the complete opposite tbh, casuals became "bad tryhards" always wanting to push their score and not caring about their gameplay and seek validation through score when a lot of good players don't care about score because they know they're good

dusky canopy
#

Hmmm

lusty grotto
#

im confused

dusky canopy
#

Imo that is just all incorrect

#

Good players almost exclusively care about score

#

Or log ranking

#

That’s the drive to keep playing

brittle owl
#

uh

#

no?

topaz field
#

im a good player and couldnt care less about my score i just like to run the highest keys possible without taking a look at score

brittle owl
#

who cares about score

dusky canopy
#

Correct you want to run the highest keys possible

#

Witch is essentially the same thing

timber terrace
#

Unless you're pushing the top keys your score is just a reflection of time spent until you hit a brick wall because you're not good enough

topaz field
#

no its just a challenge u know

modern brook
toxic pewter
#

the problem is that the playerbase has become deluded thinking that everyone deserves the best gear in the game.... but when you devalue that gear by literally making it attainable by all.. their value drops and pretty soon you have nothing to actually work toward... ultimately you reach the end destination where wow is a loadout based game, where loot is selected from a vendor. it is the logical conclusion to the path the developers have taken

brittle owl

i dont care if someone has 1k score of 5 k score if we just play good in a challenging key

Well, you see. He could EASILY do 25s he just chooses not to. It's too easy for him.

well if you try all day and you're stuck in 25s there is something wrong with your gameplay because people with the same time investment do keys tuned 50% higher

what does it matter if someone is a try hard or not

daring marlin

so the point is putting down mythic plusers at aroujnd the 25 key level rage, i see

There is no ranking tho it's a score that infinitely goes up and the fraction of the playerbase that cares about pushing is really small
