not really
its ok to have some
you shouldn't avoid pieces with it, is what im saying
theres no stat that you want to actively avoid
@gloomy ferry Sporecloak is a solid choice for prog, otherwise the allied wrists of companionship can be a nice stat stick. Get haste, crit and vers
Should be able to passively obtain some mastery, likely a bit from tier and either trinkets (depending on effect) I.e beacon or from the frostflame belt, which will likely just infront of shadow flame patch after their nerfs
I’m not 100% sure and could definitely be wrong, but I don’t remember seeing the frostflame belt on the nerf list? Unsure I’d have to confirm.
I wasn't really for the Pandaren, but NGL this dude looks good
indeed he does
Pandaren are underrated tbh
agreed
Like come on, 50% reduced fall damage, double well fed buff?
Ngl that dude kinda cool!
aesthetic cool
Not to mention a single target incap
You might have me convinced
I like pandas
whenever i atomic recalibrate i always stop on either pandas or kultiran
I’d have to find a panda mog for warrior
Kul Tiran heritage armor is the fucking goat
The women jump super fucking weirdly though
Poor pandas ruined by the food embellishment
Does ignore pain generate some threat?
Yeah that’s fair
perhaps extremely small amounts due to being a shield
nothing that you need to concern yourself with
I love pandas, they were an awesome addition
Always liked them since playing Warcraft
where my darkspear heritage armor
my fav wc3 unit were the troll headhunters/berserkers that why i play a troll
i mean
well hopefully its a banger
if you go back to wc3 wc2 they didnt barely wear any armor hardly at al
lol yeah but darkspears definitely have a heritage and i hope they do them justice 🙏
that's kinda true yogi
can say same thing about taurens
ye
in w3 they were just walking around with their totem
makes sense for tauren at least
its a giant bull creature
like, what armor does it need
also pandaren dont have heritage yet either
oh ya right
this is me how i look in game
but no heritage, so its just draenei, trolls and pandas
panda gonna be great too i hope
they have a lot of potential for best heritage armor of all time
theres a possibility berserker class
focus on thrown weapons or melee
just a ranged physical dude chucks spears and daggers at enemies and rages
yeah that would be cool
basically troll heritage armor has to look like vol'jin
my warchief.. reign ended so soon 😢
killed by a simple demon npc rip
another reason to hate SL
lol
i think they were called head hunters in wc3
they really did do vol jin diry imo
indeed
and then they upgrade in to berserers or i forget/dont care
yah head hunters.. then were able to upgrade the unit to berserker in the xpac
but not as dirty as arthas lmao
yeah i will never forgive them for what they did to arthas
netflix has a animated wow show coming
i wonder what it will be like
all i know is that a whole bunch of zerkers + witchdoctor ult (mass bubble for everyone but him and has to be channeled) was disgusting
get your troops in in a 2v2 3v3 4v4 and hit that button
dudes go ape
hell yea
hopefully lost under yourawllies anempaltse so enemy cant target him in ttime
troll units were my favorite.. even had troll batriders
witch doctor of course
and the shadow hunter hero
you gotta stop falling for fake leaks
wat u mean
the "leak" that suggested an upcoming warcraft netflix show was fake as hell
i dont know if i'd watch a netflix weow thing
warcraft chronicles is the name
netflix kinda passe for me
yeah I dont really like netflix either but will still watch it
the fake leak used someone's fanart to make the mocked up title screen
damn really
the fanartist came forward and said "yeah that's my art, this is not a real show"
damn
i'm also sorry to say we're not getting a void expansion with a shaman tank and a Shouting Warrior

how come you use a Niffen as your pfp when you think Zaralek Caverns was an historic atrocity
zaralek can't have been that bad if it gave us cute little guys
i used it before the patch hit to be fair
now i wear it ironically
because even this cute lil niffen proved to be a failure unfortunately.. sorry to say
shakes head dejectedly
what was so bad about zaralek
if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer
that's. that's the opposite of what questions are for
mostly just a bunch of over hyped lies and a b8g n9thing and s9me low drop rate stuff
i thought zm was just fine
yah zm was better for some reason even though it was designed under similar circumstance where 'nothing matters'
they lied about how big and important it is but it wasnt bad
Zaralek just failed cause they made an event that nobody does because its way too fucking hard for what it gives and because they moved every single catchup event OUT of it
like researchers under fire is such a shit event
all df events are dog shit and i hope they move away from them
i gave up farming zm cuz of the artificial bag filler uppers in form of currencies
i am tired of seeing them
i think they are all awful
that and i got most of the mogs i wanted
dreamsurges and the time thingies helped me gear up alts fast so i cant complain
plus they are easy enough
dreamsurge is just half baked is only thing
just wish the next xpac they make the zones actually matter again, not just having everyone wait for these forumalic timed events that are the same every time. wow has become this game of literally standing around waiting for x y z to pop
and its tiresome to say the least
wow needs to get moving again
literally
like in classic where literally nothing happens in the zones ever?
has become this game of literally standing around waiting for x y z to pop
it has been this way since day 1 of vanilla
it hasnt become
thats what it IS
the difference is it was worth it in vanilla
because you were working toward a greater goal
its not though
vanilla wow was designed better
and each xpac since it has degraded
I do still prefer retail in a lot of ways also though its a constant struggle
i wish there was some way to merge it all
once you started raiding in vanilla, there was absolutely no gain to anything else unless you were willing to dedicate a chunk of life to battlegrounds grind

apb, sometimes i think you invent strong opinions just for the thrill of having them
yeah well at last the grinds were worth something
attained things no one else had the ability to do
and you sat there in org or if or sw and people wished they were you
they looked up to those people
and now its all gone
just to please the masses
i say for shame
apb, everything in classic was easier, but everyone was also just more ignorant
you're just wishing we could return to innocence
you have known me for a long time now
you don't want the game to revert to that, you want to go back in time to when you felt excitement
I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
thats nostalgia by definition
Its not entirely nostalgia when I say vanilla was better designed
i actually do believe it
but i do agree perhaps it is not an ideal fit for todays times
we've had this conversation before
in fact, ive said deja vu over it like 2 other times
oh i didnt realize
the only old game that gets better with multiple play throughs is max payne 1 / 2 still today its slow motion is top tier
the perfect yogi opinion doesn't exi-
You should join arguing groups
Pro life pro choice arguing is a hell of a drug and since you like arguing for the sake of arguing 🤷♂️
wat who say i like arguin
You can literally play vanilla
Idk why this is even a question
Wish there’s classic league though
Now that’s some rose tinted glasses
I just want MoP Classic
Then do Mage CM
And have them merge
So i got all 12 sets

they should run a classic server for every single player's favorite era of the game
and the world's governments force people to populate those servers at all times
you're mocking my good ideas
Im just trying to be the pinky to your brain ❤️
❤️
I actually do miss this, standing in IF basking in all of the random people who stop to inspect my sweet, sweet Full T6 loots
They were probably standed there in fear of how god awful they'd have to look if they wanted as much power as you
t6 wasn't bad tho, not like naxx gear
tepid vers
how do you view stances in logs if someone never changes stances? Needing for log review
Not sure but my gut tells me buff uptime?
you cant view stances in logs, unless if you swap to them in combat
and it only tracks what was switched to, which should be pretty obvious given its only 2 choices
Ye just checked. Only shows the attunements from aug
But if dude doesnt swap from def stance its bad. Might aswell tell him that. If hes only in bstance its better unless hes dying. Then thats bad too
pretty much
Purely damage corrupting rage will equal more, but tepid vers provides more like healing and damage reduction. Also they’re cheaper
Corruptin Rage wont have alot of uptime as tank tho will it
In M+ at least
Does the debuff that disables the phial have ICD?
Honestly not sure, just going off of bloodmallet. I use tepid vers anyway, I feel it provides more overall.
Ye same. I'd guess in M+ the phial has like 10% uptime. In Raid when offtanking a bit more
no, its not as good
all 100% parses use tepid
in wcl
i use corrupting on evoker and mage for sure at the very least
Good thing i dont play those 2
Fuck casters apart from heal

I just run tepid vers all the time anyway. I don’t really see a lot of people run much else. Static empowerment is the best by a mile, but when do you stand still?
well tbf fire is pretty mobile since you dont really cast
with 4pc and phoenix flames
Isn't the get punched one bis
It's not as good in ST
You know those times when you go into a pug, somehow managed to scrape up to a boss, like 5-man the boss, leave, and then spend 30 minutes contemplating your life decisions? How does everyone else here handle that feeling?
Meth
Methodologically you mean?
Nah, I mean more like what kinda trash do you filter the bad times out with
Because I am content with classifying that as "a group", definitely filled with players very far from me in terms of goals
but wow
that one was a miracle
HotS would be a good one if I kept up with that game
i last played when it was being updated
But I mostly mean if it was still installed
I liked it, but my competitive game urge is mostly sated by fighting games and sometimes shooters
@ionic fern hi ily
Hi, ily.
I avoid those situations altogether by only playing with people I know. I'll rather uninstall than pug.
I have better times pugging than playing with people I know.
That's because the people I know aren't friends.
There's a reason they're not friends of mine.
I would try to make new friends, join a guild, a community, w/e
Its a MMO afterall
It took me two years to create a solid group of people with a similar mindset and skill, we even rented a house this summer to hangout
Everyone in my guild is 30-40 y/o so I would feel like im hanging out with my parents’ friends
maybe you should just be older
I really don't mind pugging, since my main enjoyment is doing the best I can no matter my situation; I don't play for gear or to clear content. As long as I find something to improve, I'm fine
but man
sometimes people blow up on each other or just
don't play the game at all
And I get so confused. What do people get from playing the game? What enjoyment is there?
I just physically can't understand and it drives me nuts
It's not like they're pissing time away with friends, either
Ppl r addicted
And got nothing else to do in their lives
Why u think league is still a thing
No one enjoys that
I'm addicted to you ❤️
Oh my ghash
good stuff le dog
Someone told me that "warriors in general have the worst survibaility against big hits this [aberrus] tier, will be a lot better next tier"
Is that true? I'm not an expert on other tanks but what do they have that we dont?
wat
is that in response to me?
It's not the first time someone has said this. Was there some patch in the past that caused the reputation?
What's the fundamental misunderstanding?
Him:
just experience tbh, we've had a couple of prot warrios and honestly they tend to get the shit smacked out of htem the hardest
Well, if you dont have shield block up and dont pop up defensive like shield wall, big hit is indeed hard to survive 
I'm pretty sure I was sdoing fundamentals right. Shield block and ignore pain up, use cds without overlapping.
lol
Ignore Pain is not something you need to aim to have up. If you're playing properly, it will be up most of the time anyway.
If you're looking for feedback on your gameplay, show us logs and we're happy to give you feedback.
Hmm
Generally speaking we are really good against spread out big hits.
What we "struggle" with is constant damage magic damage/dots (Experiments/Zkarn).
But even this is survivable if you play it properly.
This was on experiments.
Yes it's rather awful.
You play around this by:
1)Prioritising IP over Revenge when at higher stacks (if needed).
2)Planning your CD's
3)Clearing stacks properly
4)Asking for attack speed slows on bosses
5)Being vocal, asking for externals
6)Using a on-use absorb trinket if needed.
my weeb game history causes me pain with that sentence
and only recently has non-mega weebs begun to understand the fear of ort
Gotta say, you are way too deep for me today, Luerce.
Thank you, that's a good list.
I respond to Ort on a dime after years of being told to fear it
though i normally see it as ORT
Also, be sure to tank the 2nd boss that comes down as much as possible.
The 3rd one will put way more stacks on you.
So ask your co-tank to tank the 3rd one.
While you take the 2nd one.
I can't really add much more than Mwahi, since he covered pretty much all the basic go-to's
It really helps to clear your stacks as often as the raid situation allows, too, since it can grow to be pretty nasty
Riothus (the deep breath one) puts more stacks on you?
Yes.
Idk if it's because he melees faster, or because he has less mechanics that prevent him from meleeing.
The 2nd dude always casts some crap, barely melees you.
And remember to keep your rage flowing as much as possible; the more you generate, the more you'll have SW, meaning you can cover more situations you need to plan for
that's just basic gameplay, but
Do you prefer to use SW first because of the longer CD?
Anger Management refreshes its CD
and in extreme situation - just clear despite granting 2nd stack to raid, but inform healers about that, 2 stacks wont wipe your group, but if tanks dies to stacks - its a wipe usually
When playing properly, it's like a 1-1.5 min CD
It's also chunkier than spell reflect, and spell block doesn't help at all in that fight (the main damage hurting you is not spell blockable due to being a dot)
Something I should know - if you cast demo on a mob that has a dot on you, does it reduce the pre-existing dot dmg?
Iirc, it should be dynamically reduced like that; damage doesn't tend to snapshot in retail WoW
Though as an aside that's not relevant, Demo won't reduce environmental damage caused by the boss (ground swirlies and the like)
snapshot in retail WoW
That brings back memories.
Another question - do you have any tips for collecting adds on fights like Assault while minimising movement?
I can throw ravager out, I can use throw but that's one by one.
Pre-positioning is going to be the absolute main thing in Assault for War
Also, leap resets the CD on taunt, so you can also taunt to pull one, leap, taunt, then get aggro as they walk towards you
Positioning can be challenging there because dps obviously wants to cleave the adds with the mystic but I hear you. Didn't know leap reset taunt.
It's a fringe benefit that most people don't know
Once I have lots of adds I sometimes find threat to be a bit dicey during thunderclap's cooldown. Revenge works of course but spamming it risks essentials dropping off. Any thoughts?
But yeah, War doesn't really have easily available ranged aoe options just due to our kit; don't have Avenger's Shield or Keg Smash or anything
You should not be losing aggro once you have the mobs on you so idk there
^^^
Between thunderclap and revenge?
I'm specifically speaking about the first 4 seconds (the first tc cd)
I could see it if the DPS start blasting and like, you used Rav to pull and didn't press Avatar or anything, but
War normally has some pretty good snap threat when starting a pull, particularly with all CDs available
I'd honestly probably need to see a vod for that one to see exactly what's happening with that one
yeah once I thunder clap once I generally never lose threat
heroic throw them, if DPS gets agro because of urge to pad its their problem and they should drag mob to you if you already hold rest of mobs, you should easily take over with just rotation of TC and Revenge
also teach your DPS to throw rocks so you have less adds and thats this fight is ST, only boss and magma add matters, rest is just soft cleave without need to focus on
makes sense
but how will the tank ever get aggro, mwahi?
That dps just knows they're just blasting so hard, it can't be helped,
Eh?
They're so cool and awesome and just too good at the game smh
Trying to get DPS to run at you with a mob is surprisingly difficult
Took me years of training to get one of my friends to respond that way
The adds spawn so spread.
The DPS will focus on the adds that are the most clumped(SINCE MUH DPS PARSE) - this is usually around the tank.
The majority of "new add" spawns will be aggrod to DPS due to some "random AoE" they shoot out - aka they have almost no built up aggro on them.
But as said before, TC/Taunt/Leap-Taunt/AoE-Taunt/Heroic Throw.
All work.
Shall we shed a tear for the DPS because of the stress of log parses?
What ever gets them going.
Also, if you are using Ravager to pull, you should at least end up on your Ravager in the end
I also enjoy parsing..as long as it's about skill.
Currently your parsing is about "did my beacon crit?"
Which i find..un-enjoyable.
If you're not, that might be why you're losing aggro if they're popping every last CD and all you pressed is TC or like a Heroic Throw
as someone without beacon, this is one part of the reason why I'm fine with anywhere from 90s-95s atm
the other part being that i still ain't even 44x this season zzzz
Orange or bust
That'd require me to have to hit keys
yeah that sucks
especialy if its further extended by "did my anvil proc good?" "did my forgestorm proc good?" 😐
thats why my parses are bad cus i dont have beacon

I mean, they don't even have to be bad neccessarily..
But for me personally, i used to aim for 99-100 parses only.
So if you're satisfied with like 80 or w/e.
Bare minimum, that's been my goal for ilvl% at least
That's chill.
i mean yeah sure if youre above 50 youre better than average
but i also used to be a 99 parser
But it feels bad to see me at like 97% ilvl and check the gear of someone else close
and they just had beacon
now im barely doing 95s
Here is a log from one of the attempts. Please roast me lol. For some context, recently joined the guild. They're reforming and have had a lot of churn on tanks. I know it takes some time to start to learn how the other tank moves, who's talking on Discord, house strats, and all that.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/anVC3B89TAxjFpgf#fight=17
41 cpm 
Form the get-go.
Just at an instant glance at casts, without even looking at the cast breakdown, 41.9 CPM feels real bad
You should definitely be pushing like 80 CPM-ish min
im sorry mwahi
80 
Okay I'm now wondering if I'm missing something obvious on my bars because what else is there to click!
you rotate shield slam > tc > revenge/ip mostly
This tier is/was dominated heavily by rng and insanely by gear
You could have gotten a lot more use out of all of your CDs. For example, T Roar should have a 1 min CD since you have the 30s reduction, so you should have twice the number of uses (unless you died, haven't checked that yet) if the pull lasted over 4 mins
So I can defo understand that
You are pressing things. But you are not pressing them on CD.
14 CPM SS on Kazzara is a ugh...
The main thing is you're not pressing your buttons actively enough when you can; you pressed Revenge literally 7 times over 4 minutes
On Experiments
I think by that attempt I was stressed and prioritising rage for ignore pain over revenge but I hear you
There's a high likelihood (read, bare minimum guarantee) that you're letting globals sit
What else?
You have 7 casts of Shield Block the entire 4 minutes and 20 seconds
Chad.
That's 30% shield slam damage missing for most of the fight
thing is the more casts you have the more rage you'll gain/be able to spend
because a lot of things feed into generating rage like abilities reseting Shield Slam
Not to mention you're not blocking the part of the fight you CAN block
even revenge resets shield slam
But yeah, the biggest problem is the 40 cpm
so if you want rage for IP you gotta press yo butons
You should have like at least 60 cpm
and closer to 70 would be ideal
So you're effectively missing 30% of your casts every minute
On the assault kill, you also have 56% blocked hits
fuck
That's really rough, considering we can have 100% block uptime
That one at a casualy glance looks a lot like you're getting slapped in the back a lot, too
maybe you had your back turned against a mob
And you also only got 3 casts of T Roar out over 5 minutes
Make sure you're spending your violent outburst on SS. Half your outbursts went to TC (I'm looking at the Experiments fight)
Well, it was on a 1.5 min CD for that fight, so there's that
This will shoot up your rage gen by a lot
Outburst SS gives just shy of 40 rage with the current talents we tend to run, while TC gives, uh
10
shh
Like in here there are like 5 seconds of not pressing a single dmg button
also I would've done timeline but I'm in a dungeon so I just used what was in front of me XD
Okay, it looks like you were just dead the entire rest of the fight, so your CPM looks better when we look at only when you were alive
however
and you wanna press like ~2 abilities every gcd
It's still only like 50 CPM
But you just spend a lot of time even in other fights just not pressing buttons for periods of time
For CPM, do you think it's only registering my mouse click and not my keyboard presses?
(joking)

the big tldr is just press your buttons more
and obviously learn the right ability prios
I might recommend swinging by a dummy and double checking that your muscle memory on your rotation is tight; you might feel that it is, but anytime you feel under pressure, it looks like you just crack and the execution is just blatantly not there
:sus: what are you clicking
This will really bite you on Experiments, since it means you can't count on Shield Wall to be reliably up, let alone frequently up
yeah you need high rage spending and cpm for that fight
cus anger management talent will help you
Makes sense. It is first time in a new raid with new people late into the tier so there is a lot of pressure FWIW.
I'm also wondering how UI tweaks could help things information wise.
id say focus on playing your spec well before trying to raidlead
its gonna be better for the raid if you can be a safe card and not die
also try craft 447 shield - its important to have highest ilvl shield you can 
You're all legends. Thank you for the feedback
u can do it
Any suggestions for addons and weakauras? I'm currently trying the omnibus warrior one and one I wrote for personal cd bars.
never heard of it
rage bar, outburst tracker, SB uptime tracker, and CDs
that's all you really need
Oh omnibus as in it has everything in it
You'll need to track:
Outburst
Notable CDs
Shield Block
Yeah Outburst, Shield block, rage, cds
it can be good to see uptime on your defensives as well so you know when ur shield block/last stand/spell reflect runs out
Off the top of my head, I don't know how well any of the general utility WA suites (Luxthos/Afenar and the like) track outburst, so I recommend getting a dedicated one for it
Some of them are form over function.
im always an advocate for creating your own stuff if you have the energy for it
but there are good WA packs and UIs out there
I have been some basic ones 🙂
I stole a good chunk of Nome's as a base and adjusted my own for a lot of stuff just to make it neater to me
i dont even know how to do WAs im a TMW boomer
wow
fite me
I can't, I have 289 ms right now
got stuck on oceanic realm 
say hi to neptulon for me
It's not cata week
i thought he also was stuck in the oceanic realm
ba-dum-tiss
Waaaait, our IP doesn't stack anymore?
It does

So that's where someone heard it from
Well
Someone was deadass intent on telling me IP was nerfed and doesn't stack anymore
It's because people read datamining like it's the gospel
Without actually using their brain
And that's why Prot War is no longer dominant like S1
same way people think immovable object makes avatar give them 10% DR
because it's in the datamining literally every time that avatar is mentioned
Maybe they think that the % not stacking means that the “shield” value doesn’t stack? Idk
No it's literally because of this in the datamining
It's why you always wait for the blue post 👍
I don't even know wtf that means
It's just listing what the cap is
IP makes me take less dick from bosses, aight
which is the 30% max hp
This wouldn’t even imply a stacking change though - seems odd to me
Unless they just collectively misread something that flat-out isn’t there, even in the data mining
we're getting there!
My guess is people are really reaching to back their established narrative of "Prot War was the strongest tank, but was nerfed so Prot Pally became the strongest tank"
since like every source I ever saw noted that the nerfs to Prot War specifically were meant to be entirely negligible and were only made because War was popular.
That's almost literally what the blue post for the patch notes said, even
wait you did destro first?
You're the type of person who saves the cherry in the ice cream for last, the one who waits until the spaghetti is gone for meatball time
I do like that you can spot that the guardian druid is a Tauren from a mile away
Nice one, I guess its going pretty fast thanks to current event?
And is “locksaredumb” on 2 different servers
new mario game out is ahat that should be showing
i cant think of any bad first party mario games besides one was 3do and maybe like mario goes back in time
We Had the discussion about the IP Data Mine already
It seems like they just changed the text for the talent tree
I’m never pressing IP then

The old one said Up to what one Cast gives new one says up to the max amount
Just when you hover over the talent in the tree
It doesnt matter at all

I feel like old tooltip was a better explanation of the actual effect when you cast it
The only content IP in anymore is a toilet and your mom
Gm nish
Respect
This is definitely a change from yesterday
Nish and I keep the vibes in check
Was gonna say after getting an okay feel for tanking yesterday I think I might send it on baby keys tonight but I gotta get a better 1h and shield first
I hope it goes well. I think I'm gonna grab a 415 shield off dream surge first and upgrade it before I go at it
Unless anyone knows a better place to grab a shield other than dreamsurge
craft it
Dream surges r good
He hasn’t done m+ yet
this is the worlds most durable bus in a video game
Yeah I don't think I want to craft one yet in case I'm a total shit show at tanking and stick with fury
i saw that happening last night and i was like what in the absolute fuck.... it just tapped the gaurd rail
yeah, i stressed out the engine going up a hill and then the gaurd rail went into the fuel tank causing a spark
causing the explosion
best i can come up with
Is this jc4?
3, i was about to buy 4
but then the sale went away,
steam sales come back all the damn time
Ah okay. I have 2/3/4 but only partially played 2
Yeah the Halloween/fall sale is coming up soon prob
2 is more of the same but its more fun overall generally if it doesnt crash
cuz, you only ever worry about heli, snipers and rockets
nothing else comese even remotely close to kill you in jc2
Listen Scorpio just send it
there is a little black and red heli in the shop, and if u max it, it gets doal chain cannons, the type that "deal siege damage to buildings" as it were
JC in a nutshell
and its also fast enough that it can out manevuer and speed evade everything to no combat including helis
so, it makes a great little assault vehicle, fly from town to town, blow up all the stuff u can
that and, parachute grapple is easily the fastest most safest reliable non heli method of transport, boat is okay too
im still in pure shock about that bus and it happened last night
What's that game
@waxen frigate
jc3, so 5 years old
there is a 4 and i would have bought it most likely but the sale ended sale for bf games ends on 26th, so im gunna have to buy those soon
just so i fuckin have them on pc and don't have to sub to ea whatever
this server needs god 
lol

The only man in the sky is me
Jeree you can be my god-queen

Only Activision classic I want to see
Lost vikings classic Pog
lost vikings could be one of those phone games
Could never complete that game as a kid
Morning
Isn't it in the blizzard store already?
Hay
Yes in the classic game bundle thing
Bought it specifically to play lost bikings back when they put it on store
Craft it
Even if you're a total shits show
You should be swimming in sparks
And shield is our #1 craft
Gm
I'll look it up on wowhead, thanks.
Primal molten shield
"Primal molten" is the name of generic blacksmith crafts
It's only replaced by a 450 mythic echo shield basically
Without crests it's base 424 3hich is higher ilvl than anything dreamsurges have to offer
I do like that the shield can also have shadow flame patch on it, so it’s like
And ilvl on a shield is the most important prot stat by a longshot
Gigabis for first craft
Because it's basically the only item source of block value
And higher ilvl = higher block value
i wouldnt put patch on it if they dont plan on only tanking
limits your options for embelishment combos on your dps specs since you cant put it on 2handers
yeah tank only its a good spot to put it in
Fury main here, but I want to push myself to be a better player and fully learn my class. Also to overcome my anxiety of tanking truthfully.
I always found it so intimidating to tank since you lead the group and pull. If anything goes wrong you get dumped on
Really Just dont Care that much about what people say
Try not to over think prot warrior. And yeah, people in this game do dump on you but don't let that stick. Easier said than done, I'm sure
People are stupid
Sometimes they'll dunk on you because you mess up; if that's the case learn from it and go next. Other times they're idiots. Go next.
Really nice If you have a tank friend who can play dd so for the start He can Tell you what to pull
Yeah luckily the MT of my guild did the 5 weekly heroics with me last night and told me how to pull it as if it was mythic. First time he plays his warrior and gets gorehowl
Warri tanking is really nice since you Take very little damage
I dont have a feel for damage taken since it was heroic
But it gave me a good feeling for my keybinds and what ability does what. Also helped me get my bearings since I'm usually just following the tank blindly
Fortified is Always a little more scary but damage intake will still be very little
with as much love as i can muster - no it didnt
fort only scary if pugging and the pugs dont know what an interrupt or stun is
so much of prot warrior is proactive use of cooldowns
and the rest of it is rage management
neither of which you will learn until you're properly stressed
I can always recognize the "new tank" because they stand still after every pull, while at the same time if they were in their DPS spec emoboi would be fel rushing 3 rooms ahead and then having a temper tantrum when I don't rush to save them
Okay, fair point. I'm at least happy with where my abilities sit
Proactive cooldown ussage took me a while to learn
I was always moving and pulling cause that's what I see tanks do
I just need to learn where to stop pulling so I don't die on trash. Lol
This is incorrect
Don't you pull x amount of groups depending on affixes?
You need to become more used to the proactive use of, and spacing of your CDs
Yes and no, it's really hard for prot to die to trash as long as kicks/stops are being utilized
Frequently the layout of the dungeon itself lends to what packs can be grouped
Also Sometimes you gotta Care a little about your group
But only a little

Reading the pug is a learned skill unfortunately
Yeah why would we care we can survive it
Like you can have timmah with 2500 rating but it turns out that he gets carried by guild mates on Friday
Dude doesn't have his interrupted bound and does less damage than the healer
Hmmm Just do enough damage yourself its fine
And you can have ksm Andy with 2001 who's an absolute pumper
I guess the short of it is, go in expecting to carry 90% of the stops, and adjust pull sizes according to the effort your group puts out
I'd say start small and Go bigger until you realize its to much
Gigga pulling only comes into play in higher keys when you need to just to save time
You're not wrong, it's just not "required" until you get to a certain scale
As a complete beginner giga pulling is scary af
I'm a ksm Andy so I can pull boss to boss and not worry, but only if I confirm that Maximoose the paladin has rebuke bound
Lmao
I want to be a ksh andy
Gotta get them glows
is this your first m+ season?
Tbh I might try and push toward that since we got another month
What pve Item Level do you have?
Pvp gear is hawt
Whatever Challenger II gear ends up as
Idk off top of head
Idk shit about pvp
Elite PvP set this tier is the best recolor
I used to pvp..............back in season 3
I Like heroic more
Because S3 had better stats than warriors t6
S3 was with black temple
T6 dropped in hyjal and bt
The boot belt and bracer for t6 dropped in sunwell
Sunwell was like t6.5
Sunwell was "oh fuck, we need a new raid"
I mean they released bt too soon
sunwell is based
It's too easy by our standards now though
That being said, they had the EverQuest progression mentality back then
you'd be surprised
Sunwell is still a nightmare
yep
But they absolutely should look into revamping older raids and give them Heroic/Mythic versions
They nerfed it for tbc classic, twice
If this was towards me, first season I stopped caring about getting a guild group and accepting the pug life
Pug Warrior
You poor bastard
But yeah they believed in content being gated by content and gear, not by patch cadence
Pugging as fury at that
keeps it all relevant though
Yeah
I mean, people didn't clear Kael'thas until BT was released
Good luck :^) I legit stopped playing rather than deal with that.
KSH is an achievable goal if this isnt your first rodeo through M+ / you're familiar with dungeons
I've just adapted the mantra "f it, just sent it"
Hot Take: pugging isnt as bad
Had to do heroic dungeons to get into the intro raids, had to do the intro raids to get into the next tier, next tier had a quest chain for hyjal, which in turn gated bt
Thats the best
I dont pay 15 dollars a month and 30+ minutes of my time for "not as bad" tbh
just not worth the commitment imo
But if you enjoy it thats sick continue to :^)
keys when
And then sunwell was just so fucking difficult that you needed near full t6 to survive
It's not that I enjoy it, it's the only way I get access to m+
Prot warri only key?
ez
never im full emo petergriffin tiktokmode rn
W T F
If I had a choice I'd go with a static group, if you got tips how to get one, lmk I'm all hears
guild lmao
Yeah there's 1 dedicated group in my guild that run with themselves 
step 1: get 3000io pugging
step 2: post in the m+ discord
If you find someone in a pug you Like Just add them and ask if they wanna do more
people expect to time the first time they set foot on a key, thats not how it works
💯 
of course they will
no, im literally perfect
cs_office is goated
ive never died in a video game

He's got more CE than God!
There is a Tool on Raider io to find a group but dont have any experience
That’s not true I’m better I have more IOS
very real and extremely true
More like android
🔥
I prefer “Chuck it into the ‘fuck it’ bucket and call it good”
Lol
does anyone know if you can roll for items if you have it in the bank?
you cant
deleting the item and restoring also does not work if you want to cheese it (and you shouldn't)
Imagine being a dwarf that doesn't use an axe or hammer
or a fish
Especially a fish
tough mythic + season coming boys
im not concerned
"above 90%" why would we be under?
I mean I use to play with a crazy (not in a good way) healer, that basically only kept the group above 1-shot range but no more and DPSed more than healed
thats not a crazy healer
thats a fucking great healer
like GOATed
but even then ikarikaze isnt speaking about healers lmao
we're prot warriors
if youre going below 90% hp on the first DHT pulls youre either pulling massive or youre doing something wrong
oh I haven't played DHT recently
How’s this tank looking in m+ next patch
i wouldnt expect you to play it recently, its a s3 dungeon
if your a meta chaser dont play it
i mean it was a problem because he wouldn't heal enough to remove debuffs like that
if u enjot the class play it
its not a problem if youre a warrior
ive had healers completely ignore me on BH's last boss
this may be a weird thing to make me question playing prot warrior, but its the m+ affixes
and those get a star sticker from me
InstaDN
afflicted isn't every week but it irritates me to no end that there is literally nothing i can do about it and i need to blow a ton of CC on Incorp to feel like I'm even helping with it
well thats a you problem
2 weeks of just one affix for me 🙂
affli who?
incor-what?
i dont see any affixes idk what you mean
Is that this buff today on PTR? Frenzied Nightclaw's Grievous Rip initial damage increased by 25%
TFW you're in a group with a monk 2 priests and a rogue and incorp still hits 2 stacks
Exactly, the only acceptable stance
ah well thats not your problem lmao
Idk but a 130 million damage seems excessive
It's probably a tool tip error
Probably not
based
It is clearly a bug when our health pool is going to be like 1.5m as a tank
tooltip errors in wow?
I was memeing
that never happens
2 seconds or this dot kills the tank - sounds like a healer problem
If only healer could remove bleed
Don't go below 90%
Let’s gooooooo
ezclap

Varrior?!
Double relevant
Turkey
Asparagus
Donuts :^)
Reminds me of a quake 2 16player dm map, 0 gravity 40x40x20 box, railgun as only weapon, giblets had a 500% despawn duration
Whoever crashed last won
Had a buddy melt his 4800gt playing that
Hello, New to War prot, got a question on rage management. I feel quite often under Shield block and full absorb, quite full on rage. I guess i drop it with revenge, but it dont drop that fast and got Shield slam or thunderclap proc before i drop enough, how should i manage it ?
Spend it on Ignore Pain
Revenge is what you press when SS and TC are not available
IP is what you dump rage with
Even if you're capped
Ignore Pain is a button that gives you 3.5s off Avatar and Shield Wall, 3.5% HP.... and merely happens to give you Ignore Pain as a buff
Even if i m already quite full of absorb ? It s still a waste but better to waste that and not rage ?
Since spending rage has offensive benefits over the defensive value of ip
Correct
IP is an offensive spend
It cycles our major CDs
And produces seeing red
Anger Management effects are way way way more important than the IP absorb
So ip to reduces cd by rage spending
And revenge only on free cast and when thunder or Shield are on cd ?
Don't think of prot warrior from a defensive standpoint, treat us like a dps that doesn't die
When you don't have a better use of the GCD
and the rage to spend
Read the Talents Anger Management, Indomitable and Violent Outburst, please
Our optimal offensive rotation leads to optimal defensive play
you should revenge as much as possible it spends rage, procs strategist (SS resets) and does dam.
It's quite genius
This, plus enemies can't hurt you if they are dead.
not anymore

I mean YEAH you SS/ TC over it >.> SMH
and you wont have many
Revenge is like... 5th in line for GCD priority, after Shield Slam, Thunderclap, Demo Shout and Execute

Actually 6th, Ravager is up there as well
And shield charge and roar and ravager
Yeah, all that good stuff

Thanks you for returns
No returns, only exchange
returns?!
Not a problem. Believe me, that question is one of the first things we have to explain to MOST new Prot Warriors
whos returning food to the chef? tell me a name of these individuals
