Gotcha. Thanks

waxen frigate

Or even 431

#

I misread

mighty valley
#

"breezing" assumes the overall competency level of the group is sufficient - even in low keys, if literally no one is kicking and people are eating shit to random mechanics, it won't go well

you can deflect viridian rain

gloomy ferry

do we pump because of it

strong forum
#

(generally speaking prot warrior cant reflect stuff in raid)

#

no we cant

#

in raid pwar is not allowed to reflect mechanics for dmg

#

AT BEST deflect

#

which means you "ignore" it

gloomy ferry
#

we never get to do anything fun

strong forum
#

never in raid no

#

they strictly make anything that is reflectable in raid either an irrelevant mechanic

or straight up not reflectable

ngl this new zone 'so called' emerald dream is very lackluster

#

feels like just another dragon isles zone

#

flying around northrend earlier just hit me even harder how soulless the new zones they create actually are

lavish sphinx
#

DF seems more like a transitional expansion in general

#

New Metzen zones inc

toxic pewter
#

some of the most forgettable zones in wow's history are from this xpac

#

like 20 years from now I will most likely not remember them

#

or even 5 years from now

lusty tiger
toxic pewter
#

exactly

lusty tiger
#

(;

#

only reason i remember slands zones is because of having to go to the covenant headquarters

lavish sphinx
#

Waking Shores > Plains > Thaldrassus > Azure Span

toxic pewter
#

shadowlands zones were actually pretty cool

lavish sphinx
#

Tried leveling alts in Shadowlands but you can’t queue for other expansion dungeons

toxic pewter
#

ngl this 'iteration' of emerald dream is a huge spit in the face imo

lusty tiger
#

havent seen it yet

lavish sphinx
#

Nothing of the legion zone?

toxic pewter
#

it lacks any dreamlike qualities or any vibrancy that evokes what the zone is meant to be

lusty tiger
#

like its just ohn aren plains

#

i wonder if that dungeon would be good in mythic +

elfin atlas
#

Been away from WoW for a few months now. Getting ready to come back for season 3. Long time PW here and mainly focus the M+ realm. Anyone know if we are looking good for next season? Or at least not trash compared to other tanks. I have donw zero reading and wanted to reach out here 1st.

patent osprey
#

Our aoe is a bit lacking in comparison to tanks like prot pal and vdh but our survivability scales very well into high keys

elfin atlas
#

Ha. Good to know and I will be sure to keep my word sin this channel that Blizzard never reads

#

That is great to hear. PW is looking good in Raids then I would gander from the ST comment

patent osprey
#

Yep 🙂 all the heat is on vdh atm but at high keys they are still paper but they are doing insane dam + cant be killed in like a 20

elfin atlas
#

WOW I am not at your level o by any means. 20 is about my peak in keys. It begins to feel like work for me then, so I back it off. I hover in the 18 range mostly

#

Thanks for helping out. Back to my bourbon and things. 🙂

opaque quest
#

If youre doing 18 you can go in naked on any tank and still time keys dont worry

#

No need for meta tanks before +30

elfin atlas
#

Ha. Guess I am average at tanking then. Naked would get me wrecked. I mostly pug'd in season 2 and it felt like I needed to do everything. Felt flat out like work. Maybe I just have trusty issues, to where I don't trust DPS

opaque quest
#

Get your shield to 447 if you havent. Changes alot

warm plinth
#

Don't listen to Plka he can't even get to 4.5k

opaque quest
#

No 4.5 invalidates all opinions

elfin atlas
#

I think my shield is 441. and 4.5 makes me squemish

opaque quest
#

dw highest tank in the world is 4071 you good

#

Gash is just memeing

elfin atlas
#

Yeah. I am a measly 2.5. Personally ok with that

#

I wouldn't have believed you. But love the trolling

lusty grotto
#

pika appearance

pallid quiver
#

I shitpost it every single time someone asks about meta and how we're looking since tuning can just pop up still. Any differences between tanks this entire xpac have only shown up at extreme keys because all the tanks have been strong

lusty grotto
elfin atlas
#

I enjoy playing PW and always will, regardless of the meta. It doesn't mean I don't like knowing what the masses feel about us. I have really loved getting the, "damn, I didn't know PW could hit so hard" and similar messages. Lurking in here and seeing the tips helps alot with that.

pallid quiver
#

If you're asking public opinion, I have zero idea

lusty grotto
#

we are not public opinion lol

#

far from it

elfin atlas
#

ha. I guess we may be a bit biased...fact, but we do hear things.

pallid quiver
#

Your best bet for that would be to dig at a streamer's hub for a second, since most people just parrot those

elfin atlas
#

I am not changing from PW, guess a few weeks into M+ I will have all my answers.

pallid quiver
#

Currently, I'd kneejerk say public opinion is that we're trash since it sounds like all eyes are on VDH at the moment

#

and if you're not first, you're last

lusty grotto
#

ngl its kinda weird seeing prot abbreviated to PW

#

i guess its just not that common

pallid quiver
#

And there's no such thing as different damage profiles/utility needed

lusty grotto
#

we're still in agreement bdk will be sleeper meta

#

pika is just not on the cool kids club

#

because leggo go brrrr

elfin atlas

i can say prot in here i guess. i try to differentiate deteween pally and warrior, but it is what it is

I cant point my finger on why

I can point my finger at it

AS not giving hopo anymore

bleak breach
#

BDK won’t be sleeper Meta, it will be top or 2nd because of legendary.

#

I imagine it will end up top player tank for 10.2

opaque quest
bleak breach
#

Maybe since everyone seems to want a rework for prot war, they can let us use a 2h as our weapon so we can have the legendary 😜

#

Has anyone here played VDH on ptr? Every week I look they’re getting more and more buffs. They already do good damage now…

opaque quest
#

No matter how much VDH dps is buffed it wont change a thing. All the FOTM rerollers will just keel over in a +15 because VDH is so squishy if you dont have a brain

bleak breach
#

Will be interesting

#

One of our CE tanks in my guild plays VDH, he’s excited but also not overly convinced.

opaque quest
#

Every class that had a rework became meta or at least super good. Dont think that will change

bleak breach
#

Agree there

#

Rogues will be really interesting too, they’re getting a lot of work.

sick sentinel
#

wrath envenom was pretty good

#

have not played or wanted to play a rogue since panda, completly gave up on it at that point

#

combat was just as good, it was more that you could use combat on adds fights and fights that you were allowed to stand infront ot the boss or move around

opaque quest

Legion Assa was bis

#

Also yogi

#

No combat

#

Stop

#

Its bang bang outlaw or nothing

sick sentinel
#

im just kinda hopin for some kinda classic plus mash up between classic and retail

#

not either of those things but its own thing in warcraft universe

#

like, edit mode, or edit mode lite

#

doesn't have to be better than either of the things its stealing ideas from

mighty valley
#

Please talk more on that

sick sentinel
#

everythings just a bit stale is all, at least for keys i can say from experience

#

nothing changes from season to season which is a curse and a blessing

blazing condor
#

Classic plus isnt too bad a concept

sick sentinel
#

cuz its oh stand out of the obvious fire circle, its like that one boss, and then on the other hand its like oh god i hated that fight

blazing condor
#

Its basically what runescape did

#

With osrs

#

Osrs now is like 100x different from what runescape was in 2007, but still has that same feel

mighty valley
#

idk, making new stuff for runescape doesn't take anything like the resources to make new stuff for wow

urban portal
#

making content for runescape is probably trivial

#

but making a raid is a lot of effort

#

and if you were gonna make a new classic raid may as well make a new retail raid

sick sentinel
#

well, we are pretty sure its the end of expansion

#

but if it makes it to 10.3 could be infinites win in their goal and then they go back into classic and cause a different cataclysm

#

thats just me cooking though

#

like, cuz the mega dungeon was all about time

You can start with the fact Mistweaver doesn't get agility

Anyone got advice for good gearing methods for freshly dinged tanks? Shield is about 400ilvl but crafted, managed to luck out and get 4 different tier-slot pieces at veteran from heroic dawn of the infinite so I’ve got 4pc but other than that I’m rocking auction house green BoEs

Dreamsurge gear is also 402 able to be upgraded/turned into tier, and you can get a 415 weekly from it

blazing condor

isnt it 408 even?

pallid quiver
#

No

opaque quest
#

Na 415 from weekly

#

402 from blue boxes

blazing condor
#

oh yeah sorry

pallid quiver
#

You should be able to get close to 415 with the catchup sparks from Heroic DotI, since you can just send most things to public orders to get 424s

#

Around there, it's easy enough to M+ your way up, or you can try to hit Mythic DotI, though you'll want a plan for Deios likely

rich wyvern
#

Would you recommend making my own group for normal raid? Given that this is my first tank toon I feel like jumping straight into heroic raid might result in me wiping us a couple times but

pallid quiver
#

If you can properly vet people or care enough to it's always better to make your own groups, but your chances of getting gear from raid are always kinda sketch

rich wyvern
#

At 390ish for now, so hc raid is definitely off the table thinking about it lmao

pallid quiver
#

So it's better overall to hit M+ or something smaller group size wise

pallid quiver
#

up to you whether you want to gamba

#

I'd just focus on getting the higher gear to get into Heroic raid anyhow for those

rich wyvern
#

Might as well, it’ll give vault slots

Dreamsurge gear will quickly plug the rest of those slots so you can use the faster gearing methods

after bdk, we are in line for rework and we definitely need it

#

it is more clear to me each day actually

#

entire class needs one tbh

sweet summit
#

realest apb take tbh

toxic pewter
#

the spec has been feeling dated for a long time. As blizzard has been radio silent for an entire year now, I can only assume it will come with the new expansion. I will admit our trees are better than most, but the rigidity of the trees along with the outdated mechanics and abilities are what I am hoping they will target

blazing condor
#

i feel like most classes could use a rework

#

and define class identities

toxic pewter
#

they all been getting attention all xpac

#

once again: we have had zero communication for a year now

jagged pier
#

Maybe thats because bliz is happy with how the class is

toxic pewter
#

hmmm

#

that is possible

jagged pier
#

They tend to say if they arent happy with how classes are and say they will get a rework

toxic pewter
#

surely they must be working on a rework for us

toxic pewter
toxic pewter
#

they often state they are happy with a spec too

#

have not heard that even

jagged pier
#

I doubt we get a rework

#

What do u want to see from a rework

toxic pewter
#

the spec is feeling very dated at this point

jagged pier
#

The class literally plays hows it supposed too

toxic pewter
#

the days of spamming revenge and shield slam are tiresome

and tc

jagged pier
#

Well u dont soam revenge

So thats incorrect already

toxic pewter
#

revenge in general is a failed idea I realized

#

and ip

#

all our abilities are outdated feeling

jagged pier
#

Cool expect they are pretty much the same alternatives to the other tanks specs

#

And most tanks spec end up using the same button alot while sprinkling other spells

i mean they dont have to get rid of them per se, but it is definitely time for a refresh

So do u want all tanks reworked?

there is a disturbance in the force..

not necessarily, I love prot warrior, but I guess I would like to see some sort of communication or iteration on the spec. it has been a year of any communication from blizz.. I will admit I don't even know if they consider it fine or bad spot. I guess you are right they prob think its fine

venthyr was great

Not on PWar

if they just made condemn an ability in df i would of been redeemed

There was not a single logged 21 key on venth prot

condemn was a cool ability tho

that was my main thing I thought condemn was cool

yeah it was

it was just not implemented properly for wparr unfortunately

all the sl prot warr abilities were cool

Yup

And then they did it again

lusty tiger

Gm prot

urban portal
#

Not to mention all the execute synergies were nerfed for condemn

#

So your actual end of boss execute was weaker

cinder storm

Only reason pwar were going venthyr was because people would not drop their bis covenant for the bad one for a few dungeons

S1 was bad

I mean, it was about "meaningful choices" okayge

S3.5-s4 was AMAZING
