Lyrics:
I get no recognition
For making the plays
And if you miss a last hit
You start to blame it on me...

that song i linked is actually good
there is like 2 songs that have a gamer word, but is what is
I love you too Jordan!
retail?
woot
runs well from what ive heard
just gotta get used to gamepad buttons

this song goes OFF
i wish i couldve played LoL back when the art style was more rugged like this
i think i played LoL 2x in 2012 but i didnt understand it and i liked smite much better
now all of LA looks like assholes for buckling down and freaking out over what turned out to be anywhere else's normal day of rain
while elsewhere: millions of storms every year
i mean LA looks like assholes anyway, that's part of the charm
It's all perspective
I'm not gonna make fun of Texas for overprepping for 6 inches of snow because I'm from where it can snow 6 feet
Canadians will still make fun of Toronto though for calling in the army to shovel snow when they had 6" drop overnight
yeah its fine, rather overprep than come short
i wouldnt do it any other way
Yeah I’m fine with the over prep too. I had to drive around a bit Sunday later afternoon and even with the mild rain there were full intersections that were flooded and right lanes that were not usable due to flooding.
If we got like 6-8 inches like they thought half the city would be under water. Our infrastructure is so busted for drainage
can any of you big gamers review my mythic zskarn prog for me?
trying to figure out if im doing anything blatantly wrong
I have been told i take too much damage, though generally i tank boss from start till after moving across room for tact destruction 1, so if we call early wipe i generally will have more damage taken.
Being asked to use tank trink, but since im not really dying it seems like it would be a complete waste and id just lose damage which is already low cause i have to sit d stance cause they say im taking too much
levelling a prot warrior right now and it feels like i have so many buttons
does the spec have a shit ton of buttons or do we cut some off our bars
you have a lot but they are defensives mostly, you get used to it
i mean like
you dont need slam/whirlwind
ok cool
i knew no whirlwind
but wasnt sure ab slam since its less energy
we just always rend then?
nah, you press shield slam, thunderclap, revenge like 99% of the time
mixed with defensives
You don't press rend because of blood and thunder
oh yeah that too
we are a high APM class, but imo it feels good and makes sense
you know what to press and when based on prio most of the time
its not super complex
Why do they have a BDK doing bombs instead of boss
how similar is prot warrior to prot paladin
gripping adds he swapped off of monk, i was on bombs first night but we didnt have bop rotation so i just died over and over, so i was put on boss
i like not needing to stand in consecration to be tanky
to me feels similar, but i havent played much prot pally this expac
You have 3 paladins, why not make a bop rotation lol
we have one now
You have so many classes here that can help with bombs.
you have rogue, he should use his aa slows on boss, also DK and lock should keep debuff all the time
first night we didnt have one, after that we made a bop rotation and had him swap from monk to bdk so he could do bombs and grip adds
dk paladin warrior key is the best thing ever will say
and its magic dot, we can mitigate some of it, but we still need tons of healing there
This seems like a pretty obvious lack of just applying tools correctly. The logs read like a group that's trying to hammer a nail with a monkey wrench
its really busted to have the healer and dps be plate wearer
they said they want the rogue damge debuff not aa debuff though i suggested he aa debuff since there istn much raid damage going out, was shot down
so they dont just die in 1 mele
Sec.
problem i have with priest
my biggest issue has been adaptability we had a pull i think we couldve killed, but we have the fight layed out, at 10% i had suggested baiting to a diff spot that was more clear but we kept it as it was planned, ran out of room and died at4%, so i feel like its not tank issue more dps not dodging and us not adapting issue
but im open to criticism i just want to know if im doing something wrong
ive already swapped build to be more tanky, like taking off unstoppable force so that avatar gives me shield wall
I mean, that's directly working against you.
then tell them to fk off and dont whine about your dmg taken
We don't take UF for just damage.
also your cotank should taunt faster, he had lots of gaps in debuff, and you were receiveing additional stacks because of that
for example here - you got 3 additional stacks because of that
On your best pull atroph mitigated about 9.78m damage.
Having a full set of AA slows would've nearly halved your stack intake, which conservatively would've been somewhere between 20m and 15m damage.
But that's all on tanks, not the whole group.
what about st?
single target
oh, same rotation
just swap to exe when at 20% instead of revenge
our build is all AOE regardless of if we are ST we cant really change that
the only big diff is to use TC for outburst when there are like 5+ targets
thanks i didnt know how to point it out in logs, i tried to just tell them that there isnt much raid damage but they still felt teh damage debuff was better, ill try to use this as an example
can you guys notice any glaring issues i am personally making?
Having all 3 slows is a 45% attack speed reduction
or even minor stuff
like im super open to criticism, but been frustrated cause i get talked to constantly when i feel like im tanking it as best i can atm for the most part
You take about as much damage as the VDH, I think they're just getting annoyed about being stuck on Zskarn because it's a dogshit prog boss.
I tend to get too greedy with my exe casts, been trying to teach myself to conserve rage a bit better in exe range
Prioritizing rage for SB, I get caught up in SS/Exe back and forth and occasionally will let SB caps stack
Not that I'm letting it drop but it feels like a dumb move regardless
I mean, not really. If you aren't losing ShB uptime, you really only have to care if you see a gap about to arrive, and then pressing it for that, otherwise worrying about the 2-stack rule when the boss will be dead well in advance of it mattering is just lost DPS.
Plus, the more Exe you press the more your SS resets.
Yeah but I'm far from a pro when it comes to tanking, I can see myself wiping the raid to letting a block drop one day and I'd like to avoid that scenario
with full raid tier+talents its hard af to not keep 100% SB uptime
like you have to actively try not to keep it up...
thats very unlikely to happen
press more shield slams, you had only ~14 cpm on that skill
more shield slams is not only more dmg, but more rage for outbursts (which gives IP) and indom healing
my CPM is usually muc higher idk what caused it so low besides that i have to run back and forth across the raid area to position boss which takes away uptime on damage/casts
that is extremely low for sure...
you can also ask healers to pump you (or xternals) on worst moments - which is when you are not tanking the boss and waiting for debuff to drop off
this is why im being talked to lol
cause apparently healers say im taking too much healing they have to focus me too much
you will require too much healing if you dont have AA slows
its good to remind healers on such fights, like zskarn, expriments, kurog in previous raid, which have heavy magic dot that tanks actually need pumping on these fights for most of the fight
thats just how it is, its Zskarn
so im trying to see if im making big mistakes that are causing me to take too much, but i feel like its just hard not to take damage at 9-10 stacks
well, biggest thing that can be done is to reduce amount of stacks - and as we said earlier - thats done by AA slows and your co-tank taunting faster
thanks, appreciate it, i am open to change, but i just have really felt there isnt much i can do, which i feel like makes me seem argumentative or not open to criticism
well 19.2 is kinda my biggest
can you take a look at my deaths? i try to pay attention, and i dont think ive been dying, which is why ive really pushed to not have them swap me to using cheat death trinket or any other def trinket
since it woudl just be a waste
tell them warrior discord say you should have AA slows for warrior tanks, otherwise its just gonna continue aside from what has been suggested stack wise
they can come in here
and ask
i think i only died 2 times that actually screwed us, one was no aa slows i believe and other was me and co tank mistake
if they dont believe it
lol appreciate it
i cant look at the log right now but
the ONLY things you can do are cycling demo/wall/SR for the DR
and d stance
thats it
if you are also doing bombs for some reason, that'd be really bad
which i hope you arent
and of course follow these guys suggestions when it comes to stack management and your other tank taunting when he should
and as an ace in the hole, ye olde "prog is about killing the boss, not about going for damage parses" to your healers is good 🙂
my other tank and i decided to mostly taunt swap on cd, except if we are about to have to move boss, in which case we keep boss till positioned then swap
taunt when you lose debuff
im not doing bombs anymore thankfully we have bop rotation on our 3rd tank for that, though they may put me on bombs this week :/
especially if rest of your group is coming up with some stupid idea of not using AA slows 
your guild is retarded
hoping they dont cause we have gotten it 3-4% so i feel like major changes liek that is a waste and will reset prog
despite warrior not being great for that if you have dk
but making so much progress and then swaping tank roles when you have lots of things figured out about movement etc.
is like Nimchip said - retarded
I would have thought BDK and VDH were worse at bombs because they have no way to heal the damage back
BDK can do bombs near boss, heal up, get blood shield and go run for some far away bomb
vdh sure
if we arent rage genning we have no way to heal really though right?
Well I was meaning more that we have better defensives more often
outside of wall, you have no real way to mitigate it
Because we're mitigation, not healing
we dont
cause bomb runners arent on the boss
shield wall and IP
yeah well good luck generating rage
You're not constantly running around doing bombs though are you?
as a warrior you can pop bomb, charge back to boss, pew pew, generate rage/ip, go for next bomb
no for the most part, but bdk is still better
i am sure it would be easier for me now with the bop rotation, and if i practiced, but i feel like its gonna masively reset progress
so im strongly hoping we keep me on boss at this point
4% wipe means its a kill if we jsut have more live basically
yea
if the person that will replace you on boss havent practiced boss moving, you will have tons of recourse
i have PTSD from bfa when i was pugging heroic AOTC early on and we kept wiping at 4%, and every pull raid lead would kick and invite someone else, go back in progress, get down again and then repeat
so i dislike big changes on low% pulls since i feel liek the strat worked, its just cleaning it up
right thats what we were talking about
of course, when you check your 3.6% wipe - you had tons of deaths to lasers, traps, all of these can be improved with more practice 
shit you have an ilvl 432 druid thats doing around the same healing as the rest of your healers
idk man
and these are the same people complaining about healing you?
id assume so lol
Is there ever a point we get 100% uptime on shield block
No I mean
I’m only level 40
It’s impossible for 100% uptime rn
Later on is it realistic
yeah thats about right
if you have a rogue, a dk, and 2 warlocks, why cant they do numbing, curse of ex, and whatever the fuck the DK does
rogue was on damage reduction, they said it was better, i tried to argue for aa slow last week
dk idk
Dk slows aa
During leveling 100% uptime is not realistic until the late 60s
With level 70, 100% uptime is the standard
i had to remind lock for aa slow the first week of prog xD
Awesome Ty
Bottom left talent in class tree I think?
is it curse of enfeeblement?
Curse of weakness
ah yes
enfeeblement is mainly PvP it’s an movement speed slow
insidious chill is DK's
Yeah
yeah but some class tree abilities change sometimes
oh true
every DK can have this insidious chill
ye
so they have TWO DKs, 2 warlocks, and a rogue thats doing atrophic instead of numbing
thats 2 out of 3 AA slows
Were they arguing in terms of raid damage or tank damage? Tank damage they're outright wrong and raid damage... What do they think they're saving themselves from with 3% dr?
What I understood was raid damage.
gulp
Looks like it, I don’t know anything about DK, just that we didn’t have rogue on it. Locks been good about it after mentioning it
idk seems like AA slows are handled for the most part, outside of Rogue's atrophic
just need to improve on stack management
dont worry @modern gazelle, just force your group to use all 3 aa slows all the time, without gaps and ask co-tank for tauning when his debuff epxires and you will feel immortal on that fight 
like Jawor said, you taunt when your debuff is gone, this doesnt change from the easier difficulties
not on cooldown
that's just... wrong
By cooldown I meant debuff cooldown
asap the debuff is gone the other tank needs to taunt
if it helps, most raid WAs have a huge icon for stacks
on my guild's kill I had at most 7 total
The only time we agreed not to taunt is when we are positioning boss
Like moving across room for tactical or traps about to be placed
you can both run to position boss, doesnt matter who have agro
It was mostly simplicity sake, like if boss was half way across room and moving we waited till it was repositioned to taunt.
but..
you should be on the boss and moving either way?
why is one of you lagging behind?
or in what case is the boss in africa far from you?
Not necessarily lagging, idk we just decided that way so positioning never got wonky
you both can move, and those gaps doesnt look like "just waiting for boss to position"
here is another of your deaths, you got 6 additional stacks, while already having 6
this seems like an overcomplication of something so simple
Yeah I’ll maybe tell other tank to taunt asap instead
and who knows, if you wouldnt die perhaps he would wait even longer with taking agro 
wait now i have to watch repla
You got up to 12 stacks while the VDH was right there and boss wasn't moving, that's not a positioning thing
rip...
appreciate you all checking the logs though, really trying to be a top tier prot war, but just felt at a loss lately for what i could change on this fight
i believe in you
We're all in this together, you keep your stick on the ice.
wtb more jump pads than just in thaldrazus
i call them jump pads because they act exactly the same as sonic jump pads, you walk on it or jump on it, you get a jump boost.
There's a couple by the Hoi entrance
well, i am on area52 after all
what Phial do we use for Prot?
ive always sued vers jsut startyed dabbling in currupting rage
wasnt sure which was better
kk thanks 🙂
you guys excited to sit def stance prema on tuesday?
No, because that's not going to happen lol
It's still an ~8% DPS loss to sit in def stance
prove it
prove what?
that its a ~8% dps loss
to sit in dstance
5% straight dps loss, and -3% less crit, so 8% sounds about right
how would 3 percent crit equal a straight 3 percent overall dps loss
im not gonna do the work for you, run SimC and sim for 3% crit vs 0% crit
You only use dstance as an extra cd, for a brief moment, or never
with the standard gear build
even if it was 0% crit you still lose 5% damage for no reason
really wish blizz would stop buffing defensive stance in hopes that everyone uses it over battle
jsut buff base class instead
i 100% believe they think every prot wr sohuld be def stance permanentely
if that was the case, they would remove battle stance
Meber when prot was broken I meber
idk why yall complaining
we are more than capable of pushing
the difference is whether it is considered meta or not
The difference is ease. Can you push as pwarr? Absolutely. Is it harder than playing bear? Also absolutely. People will almost always seek out the path of least resistance.
youre an idiot
Not wrong though
Chill the fck out I havent played since sezon 1 |"Prot broken"was just a meme. And also How is bear meta ?
Bear is absurdly meta right now
Bear, holy, fire, shadow, aug absolutely dominates top keys right now.
And it’s not anymore. Crazy.
It's funny because people act like pwar or ppal or vdh (all previously meta tanks this expansion) changed. Their strength never changed. Bear just got stronger than them w/ the rework.
Well we had our fun sezon 1 time for new braindead tank 2 be meta
In fact we got buffed since we were meta
Can we still tank a 20 by mashing keys ?
Yes
K I'm back blizz take may money
No w8 1 more question
Are we still doing stupid dps while tanking stupid amount of mobs and while we mash keys
hm did we get buffed? i forgot how big the nerfs were in s1
i guess damage only got buffed since then
We got buffed to compensate for the ring, then got buffed twice more after that, then got def stance buffed twice, then got SR buffed
Except we don’t really use def stance which makes me question if they have anyone actually playing the spec at blizz
We use def stance when it's needed. Stances have pretty much always been a stick to one stance thing, which imo is why it was removed like twice in the past
We haven't really stance danced since the original iteration of stances
You were using def srance sezon oxe
And that was because you had to be in x stance to use y spell
im just asking questions man
Genuinely hated stance dancing tbh
Yeah it was garbage
Play bear u will get 2 swipe of cd. Like you do with your tinder
You’re giving off weird vibes dude
Ye and still no matches in completed keys
I can’t tell if this guy is wasted or dumb…
Haaaaa I got you here. BOTH
And thanks I've been practising those kind of vibes my whole life
7lbs of chicken ready to go
YO my dude gettin them gains
Thats only one day right
Kinder's seasoning owns btw

Be like ronnie
eat whole bag of frozen chicken per day
with BBQ
lift houses
ez
is meta gona change with this round of class tuning?
Very unlikely
good evening was wondering what i should macro beacon to?
good evening, put it on its own bind.
I second this. It has a cast time; it doesn't make sense to macro it to anything
ok thanks
also i have this
#showtooltip
/cast Avatar
/cast Berserking(Racial)
/use Zaqali Chaos Grapnel
is this a bad idea?
mm, macroing berserking/grapnel to demo/sc/tr/rav would all make more sense, since they'd line up better
ok thanks for the help
chicken dn
aatrox fucking owns
u own

gz!
Hi guys new to prot warrior. How do I figure out my BIS? Is wowhead accurate or can I Sim it like dps?
Ty!
anything that's not in the faq, you can sim
we recommend:
Single Target (raids): 3 min and/or 5 min 1x Patchwerks with Lust and with Battle Shout (and any other buffs you always have)
AOE (keys): 1 min and/or 1.5 mins 5x Patchwerks without Lust and with Battle Shout (and any other buffs you always have)
do not use dungeon slice, our APL does not support it
Are Prot Paladins still necessary for the standard Sark strat?
what?
you know the blessing of prot the monk, go to the beyond strat thing
Or is this dated info
okay cool, thanks
We're on Magmorax currently and I only remember the Sark strat having a Monk and Prot Pala for a while
SO I won't need to reroll or anything it sounds like
Morning guys, what is yours or usual secondary stat distribution? I cant find any site that suggests that. I have on my 439 ilvl prot warr 15% crit, 28% haste, mastery 42, versa 17. With ring in my bag it would be 19% crit, haste 31, versa 14, mastery 34
Sim yourself and use what does the most deepz
If youre to lazy for that just rock Haste > crit > vers > mas
there are no set stats its ilvl first for strength
then haste
as close to 7100 rating as u can get
without dropping strength
then whatever u like
What is 7100 rating?
7100 haste
Oh okay, 9066 strength, 4372 haste, 3613 mastery, 2569 versa, 1587 crit
just follow the simple prio list of ilvl > str >> haste > crit > vers > mastery
and you're gucci
when items are the same ilvl, you can just sim it
Huh, okay. I followed icy veins/wowhead/ugg advice as haste vers as prio, not crit for second choice like method site says
dont look at ugg
like straight up remove it from your brain that it exists
its auto generated pile of garbage just like the other 2 sites i wont name
Method is site to go then?
no
depends on who writes it
for every single guide
but the method guide for pwar should be good yes
the talent section looks out of date
rest is ok
i think the images are just out of date
cuz the text doesnt reflect what the images depict for talent builds
Where is up to date talent section then?
here in the pins
Are you on mobile Discord, Vod? I can't remember if they're still half hidden on mobile
if youre on mobile you gotte swipe to the left
then at the top of your screen you have the pin icon
If on mobile you need to press "two dude" button and there is pins
yeah i've never gotten the swiping to actually show me the side panels
unless i don't want the side panels
yo im a new healer. getting 4 heals 2400 rating this patch. almost there. looking to start grouping up. no more pugs looking for teammates ❤️ main priest sham pally druid
I'm going to blame Discord for this instead of chalking it up to user error, because that would make me feel bad.
weird
works on my machine
It'll definitely do it like 50% of the time when I'm looking at my phone while walking between rooms at work, though
anytime I touch the screen at all
"like other 2 sites", but 2 other sites he mentioned is icyveins and wowhead, I didnt know they're generated garbage as well 
there fixed it
i didn't even know there were 2 other sites other than the ones mentioned
there are many and more pop up all the time
because its pretty easy to do such thing, just read api, collect data and present it, voila
ive only ever used wowhead cuz i don't wanna find another site
Nome is right once again, surprise.
Huh
Supposed to be reapond to the dude ask about pins
Poor nome catching strays from yogi
No I'm not attacking nome
I think nome is one of best people here
(I had to urban dictionary the meaning of catching strays, was unsure if it meant catching strays dogs I had "sent his way", or "catching strays bullets"
Yah I'm referring to the pins not being on main tab on mobile cuz I am also on mobile and was one of first msgs I saw
Figured I could verify it, add to that conversation and put another final nail in its coffin
Actively ahitting on ppl, especially those that don't shit on me is feels bad.
Yogi old
One day you day it will happen to you too (get old) and God maynot be so merciful.
So no u.gg trinket checking? Today i learned
31 and grey hair anybody?
👴
it's reverse psychology
he is negative so he gets something good
no, that never works
im just hoping for that 4x 2-hander
i could actually use a dumb asskandi on chipadin
though i dont even know if it parses better for ST than a 447
i need either any shoulders or any hands to get closer to finishing my gear
i need... lets see
head and chest
and a mythic anvil
anvil on both chars
because chipadin still rocking normal anvil lmao since week 2
40 actually
i think thats about it, maybe fish for a 447 dargul or a 447 treemouth idk
second youngest person in this chat
I knew it yogi is actually 40
i the youngesy protecfion warrior
what a 
theres a random very sketchy lookin taco place inside a gas station near me
should i go there for lunch
it has rave reviews
how was your key grind this week?
uhh
isn't the rule that those kind of places actually have the best food?
damn tacos sound good for today
i've been eating tacos like nonstop the last two weeks
Bonuses: the best tacos are assembled on the spot and eaten piping hot over the sink individually, so I dont need plates
not bonuses: I currently have like 60 tortillas that I need to work through
i've never had swiss cheese for a taco before that sounds wild
👌
Welp it's really close to my work so I guess I'll try it
theres a really good tamale place right next to it too but equally sketchy
now thats something i havent had in a long long time
i ran 1 16 and a bunch of 5 and 2 vps
i dont want to play sanguine week
its just annoying to deal with
Not much to do apart from IO pushing
Classic kekw
ppl clicking 90% of their abilities and dying with everything up is truly hardcore
I was insulted for doing 100mil sanguine healing in uldaman. i just did ~80 in BH.
Are these really bad and if so what can I do as a tank besides try to move mobs away from pools ?
When all these damn casters just stand still inside, ofc
I personally do. The group, clearly they didn't
As fury, I make sure to Shockwave every pack in sanguine pools
either way its a hallway dungeon, of course sanguine will be a problem
the biggest offender though
Ministers of Air
those motherfuckers will not move, so youre forced to kite the other dudes to africa
and god help you if he chooses to stop casting for a second to get back to you
you just erased an entire dps from the key
cause he will stay in that sanguine until he finishes channeling and then blow up the shield
"you" - what can I do ?
you are the tank
Use LOS more
Literally everything lmao
I did use LoS always
And kite melees away from casters
sanguine is 99.99% tank affix
If you LoS you wouldnt have 100 mil in ulda
dont say what can I do as if ur not 99% of the responsibility of sanguine
thats fine
as long as theyre not sitting on it
then drag the los mobs the other direction
if ur kiting mobs through sanguine constantly youre fucking up
bad
situational awareness helps out
if the front ones are the ones dying then move them to not be in the way!
Use your leap if you need to change direction
but thats just something that you will get with practice
Just leap over the pools and mobs
... and get half the party cleaved because the place is filled with cleavers, then get insulted too
(yes, it has happened several times)
yes, but they are present in many packs
well thats not on you
2 different issues
either they get out of the fucking way or they die, shit happens
Cleave = others are idiots
100 mil sanguine
Youre the idiot
Just practice
And you'll get a feeling for sang
what's a decent score ?
I'm looking at one of the top runs for a 22 on warcraftlogs, it has 82million
Never checked but sanguine shouldnt be above you or the healer in details
100mil sang just means his dps got to pad more, i bet they were fine with it.
let me check my runs yesterday
Another run, 94mil
And they're in the top 200 runs for these affixes.
Don't think I want to deny my responsibility, I'm just wondering if 100 mil sanguine healing is so bad compared to others and if it is really on me.
That's VP
thats the run where the minister of air decided to fucking sit then move then sit
ok, browsing randomly throug wlogs, the top 100 logs, there is a massive variance in numbers.
I don't know how the rank is calculated
In a way, yes
you know what to do and how to fix it
39 mil is still to much but leaps and bounds better than 70 i guess
There is work to do
Also i just started tanking 4 weeks ago so im still improving too
and kanga is absolutely correct, if sanguine is doing 100k hps, you're effectively removing a dps from the party
100k hps ? no I said 100million healing
whatever, you know what im saying
thats 100m more dmg your party must deal
yeah no excuses
just work on results
the acceptable amount of healing you get from sanguine is...
0
anything higher than that is bad
including my runs
and everyones
it just feels like "we failed because you let them sanguine heal too much" is a lie, because logs rankings prove otyherwise.
well
beside all the running/swirlies mechanics etc. timing dungeon is pure math
it contributes to it
M+ Ranking means shit
you have to deal specified amount of damage in some period
but hard to say what failed
exactly
the more damage you have to deal, the harder it is to time key
but pugs do not speak any other way than absolutes
"it's 100% or 0% your fault" - and add some random insult
well the only thing you can control there
is sanguine positioning
even if they are being assholes
they do have a point
it is what it is, go next key
no reason to dance around it, you know what you have to do
side note
when some mobs are casting at random targets, me hiding around a corner won't help if others stay in LoS, correct ?
think Earth Bolt
*if the charge+interrupt+leap are ready
got a streaming quality mic i order on amazon few days ago
yeah well BH is different
not a lot of LoS spots on the open areas etc
you can only do so much there
the rest of the team should be helping out
casters+hunters are the nuisances for that
typically you want to drag melees away from them
Get a druid or evoker for boops
when either of them are low, and that's about it
upheaval yea
nice fork
Just curious if anyone has done any figuring.. with the change to def stance 5% dmg reduction (instead of 10%) do we run defensive stance more.. or still stay in battle?
yeah, its just now less cringe if we swap to d-stance
this has been asked since friday non stop
cuz we dont lose 5% dmg ~ 5%threat
nome you might wanna pin something lol
that or blizzard could word it better
damage you take reduced by 20%, damage you deal reduced by 5%
i feel like its not that confusing
but sure
but feels like copium cause they certainly have put shit on tooltips that could definitely be better written
yeah thats the change
i don't feel like this would be an easy to understand sentence, if you werent playing the game actively
youre not wrong
"the damage penalty of D stance has been reduced from 10% to 5%"
you can just read d-stance tooltip and all should be clear
He did
yes he did put the changes, not the answer to the question that has been happening since then
I mean
I mean, if someone cant match this with buff description, they should stop playing video games all day and go back to books or something 🤷♂️
yeah books
@strong forum current discussion as of this post.
for the stupid people
they should go back to them wow is only for the intellectuals
he did
highfive
Yeah book reading is for dumb people reading tooltips however are for gigabrains
or something idk
watch i get heart of thunder or talisman, 441, didnt hapen
did the increase the dmg reduction from defensive stance again ?
ill increase your reduction
Your damage done while in Defensive Stance has been reduced to -5%.
In VP, especially during fort week, is it smart to double the first two packs together?
no
triple yes
quadruple no
the 2 dudes on the bridge have a ton of HP, and they take forever to kill, can kill a key if you pull them alone, not only alot of hp but have to run out, and blocks from front, so they harder to kill
and only if you got kicks and your dps isnt dumb enough to focus mistrals
So triple pull is the best method? I’ve only ever done two!
i do the first pull, bridge, and lust
☝️ ☝️ ☝️
you will die if you dps isnt focusing vortexes and soldiers
Good info, thanks 
and by you i mean your team, not you as a tank
Yeah definitely haha
Makes sense
Cool, I’ll do that. Thanks 👍🏻
Hey folks - tried the searchbar with no luck. Does warrriors have a way to solo dungeons from early on, while leveling, like paladins have?
we have no idea what paladins do, but no
i mean by leveling
Thanks for the reply. Shame though
cause i obviously have a geared pally
why are you solo'ing dungeons while leveling?
according to sims a 447 weapon beats the 441 version of Forgestorm is this accurate?
for aoe yes
this hasnt changed in a while
for st, no
if thats the case then youre probably simming wrong
yeah i was doing dungeon slice
so forgstorm still better in M+
ok thats all i need
very helpful ty much
jesus chipadin got astro fucked on the vault lol
that's fine, i just wanted to make sure they didn't think it was more xp
congratulations on sockets both characters
horray!
oh wait...
congratulations bags for keeping a socket!

got a 447 forgestorm in vault today 😮
must be nice its my last piece of gear for BIS but didnt drop so 447 will be my back up
reporting back: i think the cashier misunderstood me because I got regular birria tacos instead of quesobirria
and no consomme

it was still very good tho
better to be a .9 than a .0 bro
well, at least bursting isn't so bad
ooo these are the best
watching how theyre made is epic aswell
smell of corn tortillas is so good
^^^
My hands are all corn tortillay rn and it owns
god maybe I make chicken tortilla soup today
Does anyone have any tricks or tips on how to survive the breath on Chrono-Lord Deios. I seem to just get nuked even with spell reflect and pumping ignore pains.
kill it before it kills you
theres not much we can do on that boss
besides cycle all CDs for breaths, including spellblock
healer has to heal you
anyway you can also just maxrange leap backwards and you outrange it
10.2 inc I can feel it
ya, i bet mid sept
10.1.7 is sep 9th or 6th or something so 10.2 is prob October
But the announcement is today or tomorrow def
after blizzcon
we dont even have PTR for 10.2 yet
and that ptr will be out for ~2months
which will overlap with blizzcon
so 10.2 releases after blizzcon
SW>trinket>Spell Block on cycle should get you perma mitigation for the breath iirc, and if something slips through or you don't have a tank trinket communicating with your healer on your CD's also helps, have your healer pop something like Ironbark on you.
There may be a better rotation of defensives if someone else can chip in, otherwise externals will work wonders
Should be able to combo SR with every other defensive
Maybe it's DPS dependent?
I was second or third on the meters and the timer was in the range of twice that CD range
Also @proper roost you wouldn't happen to have a warlock alt would you? I absolutely flubbed a 19 hoi last night, ate like 3 stuns in the dragon hallway and wiped us twice and there was a Kanga in our group lol
Like I could not get my shit together if my life depended on it
yeah that was me I left the group to throw the key
did u guys see the guy who was extorting keys?
that was me
Guys
I have found it
The worst prot war log we've ever seen
Who claims that the reason he couldn't hold threat is because people were hitting all the mobs instead of just the one he wanted them to
its not yogi?
maybe he was half asleep
maybe he thought they were playing classic by accident
He was not. A friend of mine tried very politely to explain some stuff to him and he yelled at him about not knowing how to code and being pretentious about tanking
my guess is he was half asleep doesnt seem to hit any buttons at all
his top cpm is revenge at 5.6 followed byt ss at 3.7
Yeah, as soon as I saw Revenge was his top damage, I was like oh no
It's the 13 taunts that really gets me
Dude I saw that and was like idk if I've cast 13 taunts all expansion
Much less in one dungeon
That's not exactly true since I taunt bosses, but you know what I mean lol
Also, @sick sentinel this is how I know he's not half asleep
I wasn't in the group haha. This was a friend's group
Dude is so confidently incorrect, it's insane
on M sarkareth, does avoidance reduce the damage of the tank debuff too? I saw something about it reducing all the dot damage on the fight
How are you getting the text file
My friend who was in the group pasted it in another chat
[DK who did 35k DPS on trash] lmfao
yeah i have questions like this too
i wouldnt mind anonmyizing my logs and getting chat logs
Yeah he posted it in MPF; we don't allow names to be shown in screenshots or logs to avoid drama (unless it's your own/someone else who you know doesn't care)
I try not to talk much during keys
You can set any log to anonymous by using the settings at the top. Just click that, then copy/paste the URL of the new log it takes you to and it'll be the anonymous version
Doesn't even have to be your own log
You can get chat logs in logs?
Mage: 441 tier pants to replace 418
Hunter: tokens
Druid: tokens
Warrior: tokens
Priest: tokens
Paladin: tokens
Rogue: tokens
any tokens in chat
No, he just copied the transcript from elvui I imagine
this man overcapped rage from charge

and 23 rage too which suggests this happened more than once
should we be using def stance alot more in keys after today's changes?
remove bursting as an affix please
like who decided an affix that is basically only countered by priests was a good idea
imagine having a vault HAH loser

My war's vault is just for aesthetics at this point 😦
man needs to touch grass
3k gold lezzz gooooo
sir
I have a friend with 13 70’s and he does heroic raid on like 6 of them
thats 6-7 keys too many
Besides, it's 105 fucking degrees outside, I'm not going to touch grass
And keys on 3+
California?
Missouri
liquid grass
Are key nerfs active yet
Almost 40c? Sucks that this is becoming the yearly norm
tbh I'd take -40 over +40 any day
Yeah I like the cold. Let me be cold all year long, let's go
Gets well over 110F here
Same
y'all weird
Oh sorry I'm thinking in Canadian again, we've started passing the 40 degrees mark the past few years pretty regularly
love needing to wear 3 jackets to ride my bike
Legit barely gets down to 50F during winter
love needing to defrost
Now that sounds kind of nice, we swing a good 80-90 degrees celcius from summer to winter
No. Having one season all year sucks
Yeah out west has been getting broiled
agreed, get me 2 seasons
the late stages of spring then switch to summer
kthx
I rode my motorcycle in 35 degree weather once w/ a hoodie and a mesh jacket. You'll be fine
My bones almost froze inside my body but it was fine
i rode my bicycle for 2.5hrs in 38°C this year
Did you hear about the NWT? Their capital city is getting evacuated from the fires
was a good day
When I first moved up here my neighbor was cracking jokes how I must be in awe at all the snow. I responded that being from Chicago they have less snow than I grew up with, what I have a hard time with is how hot it gets
When I say 35 I mean fahrenheit. Was about 1.6 celsius 
Nice and frosty eyelashes 😂
haha, I had gloves that were rated for 10 below (meant for working in freezers) and my hands were still cold after about 40 minutes
Both of you stop having a dick swinging contest. I dragged my balls across the arctic tundra for 20days last year
Windchill
I had no choice though; my car was in the shop and I had to get to work
worked 50 mins away
So you road on a boat?
Aint no ice left in the arctic
if someone posts with only their own name uncensored, won't you be able to easily tell the M+ that the log is from
Yeah but idc if you look up who it is on your own. We just don't want the drama in the channel
ic
Fucks we has none
Theoretically anyone could look up any run I post because everyone has seen my char list at this point
So even if I didn't post my own name, people could still find it
We'd have to care enough
Only the "I have more CE than god" dude have enough fucks to r.io stalk the entire channel

That reminds me of that dude that was in here a while back who was telling people they didn't know what they were talking about and everyone was lower io than him and couldn't possibly understand
And then it turned out my low io ass was higher than him
Who do you think I'm referring to
Oh lol
Was like Jakeys only world 11th, dude knows nothing
I love those people
The worst is when they go off the rails and get banned before I can read the "drama"
I think he actually did get banned too
i mean,
Was some tasty 
Key nerf live?
It is Tuesday, so yes
its usually them being angry,, showing a few graphs showing a few interesting comic panel
etc
you know what i really mena
and then they get banned
I missed the ww drama, still a regret I'll carry for the rest of my days
Why they nerfed random things but not bursting to reduce necessity of mass dispel is beyond me though
Because bursting isn't hard to deal with
People be dying fast af in my keys
Only if you have a healer who spends most of the dungeon licking windows
bursting can be dealt with by everyone slows dps
Sounds like an attention span issue
Either DPS need to let stacks drop or healer has to press buttons
It's "hard" because DPS can't handle an affix that they're actually responsible for managing 🙂
Pwar is so lazy lmao we don’t deal with any affixes
It's pretty smooth brain at base now that sb management is equal in difficulty to blinking
you can be a big hero with bursting this week by timing rally during lots of stacks of bursting
Isn't it % damage
So like
cuz, it heals a bit too, so can snipe heal ppl from death
Says still %
It's fixed damage that scales but it stops scaling at +20
yeah just long cd
You right, stupid wowhead showing me the Legion version

most affixes are flat now and stop scaling at some point
which is also wild that it took so long
I think volcanic is still % based? But that's the only one
