Its just insane value

vital oak
#

At what ilvl would the swap make sense, like going from 441 to . . .

pallid quiver
#

So there's definitely a breakpoint somewhere

strong forum
#

maybe 475 480 on 2 pieces

vital oak
#

Think they will nerf the old set like they did the onyx ring?

strong forum
#

they have to do smth

#

cuz vdh literally will not wear the new tierset as it stands currently

blazing condor
#

old tiers wont work

#

great bandaid

toxic pewter
#

wait, so when the new tier expends a dot, does it do damage for the full amount of time remaining and then 40% of that damage ? am i even making sense

vital oak
#

Seems like a blizz thing to do.

toxic pewter
#

Ok

chilly brook
#

back to Legion baby

#

2p2p

toxic pewter
#

lol

warm plinth
#

So it's a ~40% damage increase to Deep Wounds and Rend, but a 60% damage nerf to Thunderous Roar yep

chilly brook
#

iirc we did it in Antorus with 2p ant and 2p ToS

toxic pewter
#

i think i am gonna just get 4pc and use uproar and just use a lot of TR

strong forum
toxic pewter
#

why nerf to TR what am I missing there

warm plinth
#

Because you can't insta-refresh TR like the other two

chilly brook
warm plinth
#

So instead of getting the full damage of the bleed, you're only getting 40% of it

chilly brook
#

but you get 3x as many casts

strong forum
#

like you do ~12-15 x 40% rend and dw per minute ontop of the ~80-90% uptime on them

#

thats 600% at 15 times

warm plinth
#

Yeah I just meant to an individual cast Nome

#

well, "cast" in those cases

strong forum
#

the issue would arise tho

#

that if you dont have 4pc

#

and alot of rage influx

#

that you cant apply rend often enough for consumption

chilly brook
strong forum
#

you dont always have TC ready after shield slam

#

without 4pc

#

but you can get another tierset proc right after

#

before slamming tc

chilly brook
#

just delay the slam

strong forum
#

heresy

chilly brook
#

TC so short

warm plinth
#

How dare you

jagged pier
#

I domt think that matters as much as its far less damage now tbh nome

#

Like yer it sucks

#

But just roll it honestly

toxic pewter
#

so the most value of a TR is when its consumed as soon as possible right

jagged pier
chilly brook
#

probably a damage boost to not delay slam tho

toxic pewter
#

what about TR tho

#

i changed to just tr

strong forum
#

TR just gets royally fucked over

toxic pewter
#

ok

#

it makes sense to slam TR as soon as posible

#

i think

strong forum
#

well yeah

#

there arent gonna be windows where you dont have tierset procs

jagged pier
strong forum
#

for 10sec straight

warm plinth
#

They should just remove TR from the consumption and tier would be improved

strong forum
#

either that or 100%

warm plinth
#

yeah

strong forum
#

but as it is rn its just shit for ST

warm plinth
#

Oh I think we've had this conversation haven't we

#

all or nothing

pallid quiver
#

... 200%

chilly brook
#

I liked the 100% consumption

jagged pier
#

100% of everything was alot

pallid quiver
#

we definitely have had this conversation before

warm plinth
#

It's just dumb that removing part of the tier set is an improvement tbh

#

Even 100% of TR is effectively a net zero change (compared to 0% I mean), because it doesn't actually change how much damage TR does.

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

Well yer

#

But 15k dps from a tier set also a lot

chilly brook
#

So if you want to consume the whole debuff either 100% it or do like idk 50% or something but leave the rest of the dot up

jagged pier
#

Yer of course but di u think ๐Ÿ code bliz could do that?

chilly brook
#

Yes

chilly brook
#

They can do hasted ticks etc. it's essentially the same

warm plinth
#

Increasing TR by 50% would be actually broken though

lusty tiger
#

๐Ÿ˜„

strong forum
#

i just hope they fix the crit part

jagged pier
#

Well yer

#

So blame the vers stackers for the nerf

#

Not me and nome

#

Just saying

strong forum
#

what weirds me out the most

#

is that dorki had tierset as his highest dmg in wcm

#

either he was playing really fucking well

jagged pier
#

And probably waa doing the same damage as us with no vers?

strong forum
#

or really bad

#

idk i only saw a screenshot

jagged pier
#

I would say probably playing badly or not fully correctly

#

It took me a while to get the hang of it

strong forum
#

soloing a dungeon for 3hrs helped with practice

jagged pier
#

Yer i just sat at a target dumby and not for that long

#

But 25k maybe not playing the best

sick sentinel
#

truly rat

jagged pier
#

Imagine in sense hand that could be like 30k

sick sentinel
#

nothings enchanted

jagged pier
#

Probs slightly higher

#

From a 2pc

#

Deffo needs a nerf

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

the spark ones i can do i guess

waxen adder
#

Yo bois, havent played prot in a while but it seems I'll be my guild's mt for next tier, so I just wanna gauge: How are we feelin so far about prot next tier?

sick sentinel
#

i just think with orange axe bdk is the big brain play

warm plinth
#

Hard to say since i don't even think we've seen all the bosses yet?

sick sentinel
#

giga deathstrike

warm plinth
#

The legendary has no bearing whatsoever on prog yogi

sick sentinel
#

might be good for keys possibly

daring marlin
#

eventually

warm plinth
#

Oh I'm sure it'll be good for keys. I just mean that it's unlikely we see the legendary axe during progression, depending on how it's obtained

#

My guess would be something similar to the evoker legendary though

#

And it's unlikely a tank would get it anyway

#

(since DK is the only one that can use it)

waxen adder
#

Well, I mean regardless I am my guild's token warrior, and if i tank that is not a legsndary axe angle

And since I didnt do raid testing on ptr, I just wanna know how we feel about prot so far specifically

warm plinth
#

As far as our general strength, we're pretty much the same as now. The only real changes we've received on the PTR is the tier set

#

And it's hard to test on pwar right now on PTR because Ignore Pain is broken

daring marlin
waxen adder
#

So Prot is not bug free either rn
What's the bug? Does it not count for AM like they intended for Arms?

warm plinth
#

It's not stacking iirc

waxen adder
#

Oof

warm plinth
#

It's just giving the base amount on every cast

jagged pier
#

Apart from that your a tank

#

Any tank can do the raid content

warm plinth
#

Also are you guys progging Mythic or are you a heroic guild or what

#

How much you're inting kinda depends on your normal pace of prog

#

Since if you're a longer term CE guild, what you play matters less

waxen adder
#

Mythic, but CE is usually closer to the end of the patch

warm plinth
#

then yeah you should be fine playing whatever

waxen adder
#

Ait, thanks for the input lads! ๐Ÿ˜„

Tanks specifically

#

It's a STR 2hand

Aight just making sure I didnโ€™t miss any new info on it haha

Yeah nah it's just a str 2h so only dps war would get anything out of it

yeah so like

#

pretty sus

waxen frigate
#

as a 3999io pwarr

#

i dont know what to make of that

jagged pier
#

Well it was before the nerf

#

And he had like full vers

#

And probably wasnt 2pc 2pc

#

Like the tier set doesnt crit at all atm

#

Its sadge

waxen frigate

meanwhile brewmaster critting and gaining vers and celestial fortune on a leech ability

Now i'm mad

I need to be a better prot warrior and do damage

warm plinth
#

Press Shield Slam harder

sick sentinel
#

I'm setting loot spec to prot for vault and praying for 447 weapon then I will 100 parse

blazing condor
#

but u can craft

sick sentinel
#

Not when used all sparks

#

Which i have

blazing condor
#

you prot off spec?

sick sentinel
#

yes

blazing condor
#

rip

sick sentinel
#
  • i have 447 trousers
#

+pvp gear

blazing condor
#

i still have like 6 sparks

#

but i doubt ill craft more

waxen frigate
#

ngl i should be higher on current all stars, gotta pump that up

#

and on voti i was assassinated by boss tank on brood

#

(if you know you know)

warm plinth
#

maybe if you were 4k instead of a shit 3999 warrior, you would be ranked higher

waxen frigate
#

real

#

i should just end it

dusky canopy
#

The best part is they are actually 4k now

rotund sluice
#

just picked up my war from season 1, for tomorrow's vault do I have a better chance of seeing forgestorm w/ fury or prot lootpsec?

sick sentinel
#

I need this

jagged gust
#

Dont we all

waxen frigate
#

fuck forgestorm all my homies hate forgestorm

#

@strong forum knows whats up

jagged gust

y'all just need more practice being lucky

sick sentinel
#

i cant catalyze this

#

don't understand why

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

you can only catalyze dream stuff not world quest stuff

sick sentinel
#

what about time rifts

daring marlin
#

Time rift gear yes

#

Starless no

sick sentinel
#

Just do normal heroic and 17s bro

#

If you're gearing

pallid quiver
#

If you want a Good Time, pug doti

sick sentinel
#

And that too

#

did it on LFD on heroic

cosmic wyvern
#

was it 70 or 80 rage where ignore pain should always be used at

pallid quiver
#

But if you ever touch like 75-ish, you should just slam it, since SS will cause you to cap pretty easily around there

cosmic wyvern
#

yeah I'm trying to make some sound cue weakauras for stuff like shield block being about to expire and rage being about to cap

#

because I'm dumb

mighty valley
#

you're not dumb, you just haven't practiced this particular thing enough yet

#

there isn't really a static threshold though, the only rules are if you cap then you're doing it wrong, if you have too little rage to keep every gcd filled + sb up then you're doing it wrong

pallid quiver
#

I'd recommend against the rage sound warning on the grounds that your rage should yo yo during CDs, so you might miss other audio cues

cosmic wyvern
#

yeah thats fair

#

i just find it a bit straining to keep moving my eyes to and from the rage bar, even if it's elevated as part of a weakaura

pallid quiver
#

I'm not at home so I can't grab a screen of my UI, but what I've done is separate my rage bar and put it even larger than my health bar near center screen

#

It's more inportant than your HP most times, anyway

sick sentinel
#

how do you guys feel about the ping system now that its implemented for more than a week

warm plinth
#

Honestly, I was hyped for it, and now I haven't used it except once by accident lol

sick sentinel
#

i do have it bound

cosmic wyvern
#

it is larger than my health bar, I'm using Khakhan's weakaura

lusty grotto
#

i use it

#

its useful

pallid quiver
#

It's mega useful for Morchie with pugs

#

Even better than the weak aura people try to use

#

Also useful for Iridikron to get people to move to the same slice/area

sick sentinel
#

vietnam flash backs to pings of wc3

lusty grotto
#

havent had that happen

sick sentinel
#

i dunno if you guys ever played online in a team, but uh, well, there was ALMOST no cap on the amount of times you could ping

#

and it made a lound ding bell sound and a huge yellow circle on map

lusty grotto
#

yes yogi, we've played games

sick sentinel
#

u could hit it like 20 times in a row all day basically and it only ever stopped u if u did it for like 20 full seconds

#

in sense kinda miss that system and the sound and gfx it made, but its relic now

warm plinth
#

It's not confusing at all

lusty grotto
#

i use an auto marker ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

could care less about the WA, its easy enough to notice which is the real one

#

so yeah i agree with luerce, pinging helps a lot for it

warm plinth
#

Auto markers themselves are fine; I just hate when they have it set to override other markers.

#

which apparently everyone who has an auto marker does

lusty grotto
#

yeah no way to adjust that

#

that i know of

warm plinth
#

There is

pallid quiver
#

I thought ot was supposed to turn the right one to circle or something so you always tun to circle

#

It's just that it's slow as shit

#

So marks change on you like a quarter-halfway through the cast

#

That's at least been my experience the 2-3 times someone had the WA in my group

sick sentinel
#

Never use pings

lusty grotto
cosmic wyvern
#

should I replace one of my shadowflame patches with the allied wristguard of companionship

#

also do you think it'd be worthwhile to replace my 447 voice of the silent star with a 441 cloak, at least for mythic progression

#

because voice kinda sucks as a tank I'm starting to think

Does demoralization shout reduce damage that mobs deal to party too?

If we had a full raid %DR spell on that short a CD, you'd bring two prot warriors to every raid for the rest of time

ikik im jk

#

crests are free

#

i have like 200 of them

#

im so confused

cosmic wyvern
#

I dont grind m+ a lot

lusty grotto
#

get a vibrant wildercloth shawl

#

like most of us have

#

why wouldnt it be an ilvl upgrade

#

its 447 lol

#

i mean you can just do like 4-5 16s and get enough fragments to get 4 crests back

#

16s arent hard and they are fast

pallid quiver
#

i'd have to grind io thoooooo

lusty grotto
#

lol?

#

i mean he has a guild, im sure they run keys

pallid quiver
#

also i hate the look of these M+ dungeons, so I'm just not going in on my own end

#

But yeah, if you can do any M+ with a guild, that's the fastest way to get crests

lusty grotto
#

shit a weekly dawn run gets him aspects

#

weirdge

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, you'll get 3 Aspect Crests a week for a full clear

#

i wanted to say that but instead i looked at the food in front of me like a fad kid smh

#

So over 4 weeks, that's 3 crafts from doti alone

#

If you don't want to do any of the main pillar content and just want to catch up in gear, probably the snooziest way of going about it, especially if you have friends

lusty grotto
#

well isnt he progging M Exp?

#

hes not exactly a rat alt

high aspen
#

maybe im trpping

pallid quiver
cosmic wyvern
pallid quiver
#

Alright, I should've looked more

#

At any rate, for the original question as a whole, I don't know if that cloak sims right or not, but if it does, I'd just chuck any of those questions at sims

cosmic wyvern
#

yes I'm progging mythic with voice of the silent star, no it's not a good idea by any means, no I don't think it's the main reason why we aren't further in mythic either

pallid quiver
#

We gear for damage as Prot War by and large unless you're looking for something very specific

lusty grotto
#

crafting items dont go over 447

#

and you wont get anything above 447 until you kill M Echo

cosmic wyvern
#

no I mean what I'm saying is I still have a ring, neck, and bracers at 441

#

I could make the vers bracers with my crests instead of making a 447 cloak, or i could get a ring crafted

#

or the neck I guess

lusty grotto
#

bracers are dogshit

cosmic wyvern
#

idk I think they're pretty not terrible

lusty grotto
#

compared to patch embelish? yes they are

#

if youre gonna craft bracers, make sure they are NOT the ones you linked

cosmic wyvern
#

man ngl I kinda hate the fuckin patches

#

like I'd kinda rather upgrade my lariat to 447 than wear 2 patches

lusty grotto
#

primal molten or bust (or engi brez bracers)

nothing you have named is actually good

#

Wait, where's that copy pasta

#

critcake deserve the yellow name because of his domiance as a warrior and modesty

deswind got yellow name because some connections here and he pushes some high keys from time to time but if you want my personal opinion he doesnt deserve it as he is kinda arrogant and it this was taken by multiple people

Garms was active before he got the yellow name after that he barely helps anyone these days

Jakey is the mastermind in this discord and is believed to be the leader here , some info says he is the real mod of this discord he has deep connection with archimonde and the 3 valkyres

Sense is barely active these days , he got the yellow tag because he is related to one of the mods here .

Silmarliern is helpful and funky from time to time .

Xantage seems a good new guy i don't know much

I would vote for jakey, he set me straight when I was trying to use barbaric training.

it goes a lot better when i'm a tank than a dps

youre playing with the latter "people"

Like the in game channel?

even tho that is a disaster

yeah

exepct teach them how to wave

i mean yogi is higher ilvl than me

my advice to her would be don't raid

so what does that tell u

#

That your raid team hates you

no im stuck with eggnogg ring

so the number of people have played it is literal countlless and likely 3/5 ppl know what a "doom" is

you ask people name a vidoe game char, 3 of them, most i bet would say mario, master chief, doomguy, maybe zelda

nah, not really its a good game and is free is all

And then Bethesda made its one good decision for the decade to back id in 2016

# inland raft this is a big one, socializing even for introverts is insanely healthy, I fuckin...

For me its also been very refreshing how inviting mexicans are in general. Everything is super casual and easy. If you walk past someone grilling and they notice you like the smell/sight? 9/10 times they will just be, you want some food bro? And then before you know it, you have both a beer and taco in your hand trying to communicate using the phone translator. Its daunting, welcoming and just fun.

#

Maybe im just biased but its far easier trying to socialize as an introvert here compared to most of europe.

introvert =/= anti social

well ya europe and the us have friendly people dont get me wrong but its not the same as latin america

The dps change youโ€™ll get from regearing wouldnโ€™t outweigh the gold spent

Vers does help against magic/bleeds too while crit leans more into strong suit of reducing white hits its marginal

Well white hits are 70% of damage taken in most content
