If you mythic raid or do a + 20 that’s like massively above average

That's your average

so looking at cut offs right now all dungeons at 10 your in the top 46.9% of chars that have done a mythic ther is over lap of alts extra, but also doesnt account for every player just out of chars that have done mythic

Q:Is it actually that bad to macro shieldblock & shield slam together for a more easier rotation. I thought this would be really bad at first that you would be wasting the SB value and run out, but seems that it keeps stacking and as long as you are actively tanking you keep the buff up 100%. I dont see that many significant negatives about this method, maybe only for swapping packs and some minor rage loss. Seems that some cases you have insane rage generation so doesnt seem to bad to lose a bit of rage and since the SB keep stacking dont lose any uptime/ value?

lusty grotto
#

its not bad, just dont use it to shield slam

#

if youre using it to SB, then youre good

jagged pier
#

if your using it as a 1 macro no bad

patent crane
#

no but the macro is whenever I shield slam it uses SB at the same time

jagged pier
#

very bad

#

bad

#

bad

#

bad

lusty grotto
#

yes thats bad

patent crane
#

why?

#

that the question

#

I cant seems to find any logic that would make it super bad

uneven mason
#

Because your wasting rage and potentially uptime

jagged pier
#

because macroing spenders to generators and using that as a button will one make u spend rage when u dont need it

lusty grotto
#

^

jagged pier
#

and 2 spend SB your best mitigation

uneven mason
#

There's a duration cap on sb

jagged pier
#

when u dont need it

#

so u will number one

patent crane
#

but like I said both keep 100% uptime

jagged pier
#

logs

#

everyone

#

this exapnsion

#

that has told me this

#

have less blocked hits than i do

#

because they waste their SB charges

patent crane
#

just testing it on a dummy

jagged pier
patent crane
#

and hitting it will never drop

uneven mason
#

"I have 100% uptime"
.....50% blocked hits

jagged pier
#

dummy is not the same as situations

#

in game

lusty grotto
#

youre gonna face gaps in content that actually matter

jagged pier
#

also let me ask a question

#

what if they remove or retune our block talents

#

what then?

patent crane
#

yes but thats why I am asking right now

jagged pier
#

u now have an incredibly bad habit

lusty grotto
#

and youre gonna clip the 3x duration really often

patent crane
#

you can go over 3x duration aswell now

jagged pier
#

only with LS up

lusty grotto
#

no you cant

jagged pier
#

not without

patent crane
#

seems so

lusty grotto
#

only with bolster

toxic pewter
#

That ip/ss macro nome made is better that sb/ss

lusty grotto
#

you cant without it

#

next season you wont have bolster

#

so

jagged pier
#

the TLDR is

uneven mason
#

literally can't say w hore

jagged pier
#

you will waste SB up time and loose rage

#

making yourself squishier

uneven mason
#

Why we got automodvsonstingy

jagged pier
#

u dont do it

lusty grotto
#

its a discord global thing ikari

uneven mason
#

Reeeee

patent crane
#

is bolster the tier set?

lusty grotto
#

no, the talent

jagged pier
#

no its a talent we run because of the tier set

lusty grotto

uneven mason
sterile rapids
# patent crane but like I said both keep 100% uptime

There will be times when you keep a charge because you're needing to prio rage into something else first, be that an aoe damage ability or IP. Sometimes it's fine to let shield block drop to build rage for a next pack, and/or to execute.

Also a waste of rage if you're ever raiding and not the current tank.

lusty grotto
#

well that last statement isnt really true

#

you still need SB for damage

#

but everything else is true

sterile rapids
#

Fair correction!

patent crane
#

it just seems if you are actively tanking you can keep 100 uptime so you dont see the defensive value loss like I thought

jagged pier
#

real game scenrio btw for next tier, if u have enough haste u run less SB talents, so if attach it to SS in m+ lets say u hit SS at the end of a pack oh now SB has gone on CD, oh now i have to tank with seconds less of SB up, two in raid where u run ITF regarless so u have to manage SB to some extent, u dont need to tank the boss now u just send SB when u arent tanking and dont have charges for when u start because your pressing SS,

#

yes u do spend your block charges when not tank for damage but u do save them again for when u start tank so u have a max length of block available

#

u macro that to SS u can do that

#

and just dont have it

pallid quiver
patent crane
#

yeah I see the harm in swapping packs a bit and raid. But in these scenaries you are still doing your rotation most of the time should be always. So if you can keep the buff up 100% if you are just doing your rotation it should still be active when taunt swapping ect

lusty grotto
#

youre not gonna keep it up

pallid quiver
#

Do it if you want; just know it is not at all optimal

patent crane
#

or rp here would make sence but this would make the rp less than 15 sec timer of SB

#

I think its a interresting concept that seemed bad at start but the more I thinked about it and tried with rotation doesnt seem as bad as I initially thought

lusty grotto
#

its a bad concept

#

we've already explained why

#

but you do you

patent crane
#

asking legit question feeling being flamed sadge

jagged pier
#

i mean i gave u in game scenarios of why its bad

#

🤷

lusty grotto
#

whos getting flamed?

jagged pier

i also have had this discussion 100s of times with expansion probably and everytime they actually loose uptime by doing it as proven by logs

its because they heavily buff the vers effect on it

it'll be like 2.5%

oof i see they cut the absorb by 50%

Yeah, it was the reason it was even potentially be considered was because it got big buff

the absorb was already useless fro tanks

It’s just not reliable either way

I'll still likely to sporecloak + allied

But it is more potent as an offensive tool

Than a defensive tool

Depends on your key level let's be fair

If you're like 95% or the playerbase

Because you don’t take dmg

Youre gonna be healthy as fuck

so you guys think if i stop at +20s i should sporecloak?

But even then it depends on individual spec scaling

Then it’s less of an impact imo. Embellishments early on are more relevant for raid

#

Than for early keys

teal swift
#

Your embellishments shouldn't have any impact on getting KSH and all your portals.

violet flume
#

yeah i agree but if not dying means i time a dungeon instead ot not its more time fficient

waxen frigate
#

But I’d still do shadowflame first

violet flume
#

+2.5% damage is good too though

waxen frigate
#

Ever

#

Next tier

#

Or this tier really but especially next tier

violet flume
#

yeah it true that its nerfed

teal swift

It’s gonna be maybe 10% of your hp

Use a cheat death trinket if you really wanna cope through mid keys

violet flume
#

i lowkey wante dto use battle-scarred veteran but i heard it was bugged

teal swift
#

Sporecloak defense is just free throughput 12 times per key lul

waxen frigate
#

Generally speaking, especially especially in keys like 20s, any defensive issues you have are due to your own skill issues or mistakes

violet flume
#

is it fixed in 10.2?

Bdk doesn't hit a point where perfect play rotationally isn't enough defensively

#

But idk about the other tanklets

lusty grotto
#

thats bdk, this is warrior

teal swift
#

@lusty grotto huggies morning

#

That's why I'm asking

lusty grotto
#

if youre having issues in freehold amongst all places, its def due to playing incorrectly

violet flume
#

counterpoint: 50% of healers seem to never want to dispel oiled blade

lusty grotto
#

we are the strongest tank for the dungeon

teal swift
#

My warrior hasn't ran keys this season yet

violet flume
#

it comes out more often than the cd tho no?

lusty grotto
#

yeah you can get every other one

violet flume
#

i did only realize it was reflectable after i did it on +20 tho

lusty grotto
#

other than that you cant do much

violet flume
#

i just spammed CDs

#

when i run that shit on my healer i am on the ball with dispel fuck them healers who dont

lusty grotto
#

well thats on them

#

unless youre giga pulling with officers, you shouldnt need the dispel though

#

at that key level anyway

violet flume
#

idk i feel like it kicked my ass without knowing about spell reflect

#

100% uptime on shieldblock

#

and all extra rage on ignore pain but i guess it gets 75% reduces

#

those are the only pulls that hurt if oiled blade doesnt get dispelled thoguh yeah

lusty grotto
#

you dont get hit by anything else except the caster

#

so not really

uneven mason
#

Should be lower than 75% in practice

I don't understand why people still don't interrupt. I did a 20 yesterday and after it went to shit I checked the logs and the highest number of interrupts among the other 4 players was 2

Because your trying to do a 20

I have recently found out.... that interrupting is not something people think about

nor using their CC

at least in my classic/wrath adventures

waxen orbit

It’s the exact same on retail

its the same player

literally started playing this expansion and assumes classes dont have self heal abilities

but I dont see players like that since im in a bubble when I play on retail

People forget that shit like turn evil/hibernate/stormbolt/etc can be used as a stand in for kicks

and he interrupted once

just a hunch

some people hate weakauras or they are really put off by them

its simple, they cant kick, they cant time, not my problem 😎

cosmic wyvern

plus they do contribute heavily to clutter that a lot of people don't like

suddenly everyone and their mother mashes the shit out of their interrupts

toxic crag
#

I used to hate weakauras until i found out I could just import ones that i liked.,

plush tendon
#

^

#

and I can get funny ones

cosmic wyvern
#

and that's not even mentioning the non-negligible performance issues with some weakauras for people on lower-end pcs

plush tendon
#

like a UwU one

#

and a eating nam nam

cosmic wyvern
#

like once you figure out how to make your own simple weakauras it's invaluable

waxen orbit
#

I’m autistic with ADHD and I rely on auditory cues and I tanked 27/28 in SL as prot warr and I’ll blatantly admit I have several WAs I designed explicitly to blare at me whenever a spell began to cast that could snipe/wipe someone

plush tendon
#

thats smart

waxen orbit
#

Shit’s obnoxious but if you have to do it just do it idk

cosmic wyvern
#

it's prot warrior discord

especially in a game like wow

where visual inputs are out of control

Man just the weakaura to show you what classes are already in the key before you sign up for it, 10/10 wouldnt play without

lusty grotto

this thing?

#

that's rio

toxic crag
cosmic wyvern
#

but yeah after I installed a weakaura pack becase I was shit at prot warrior, first thing I did was make a weakaura that shows the duration of shield block and plays a sound when it's at <=3 seconds

#

it's been absolutely invaluable

waxen orbit
#

Same here

lusty grotto
#

no WAs

#

this are all addons

these*

waxen orbit
#

I actually have a 2 part WA set I designed with another prot warr which I give to every warr player in my guild who wants to try prot

cosmic wyvern
#

like I get why WAs are a controversial topic, and tbh it does feel like it makes the game a hell of a lot easier to have all these peripherals that were obviously not intended to be in the game

lusty grotto
#

do yourself a favor

#

Where there is an entire mythic boss

I just like to know if i'm getting myself into a full melee group before I join

Nelth is dumb

waxen orbit
#

Anyone who is still elitist about WAs is just facetious

lusty grotto
#

shrug PGF and r.io all you need

plush tendon
#

because of that weakaura

#

otherwise, I find it a pretty fun fight... after p1 and p2

cosmic wyvern
#

yeah I do kinda wish they'd stop designing around weakauras and maybe just make every non-player ability a protected ability that can't be used or detected by WAs

waxen orbit
#

Nelth is a fun fight but a failure on the design team because why the fuck should a raid ever wipe because of a WA bug

toxic crag
#

Thats the point of the secret auras though, they're trying to

waxen orbit
#

How is that rewarding gameplay

lusty grotto
#

maybe if they stopped designing shit fights like exp and echo

toxic crag
#

it's like an arms race between blizz and the weakaura makers

cosmic wyvern
#

but I also worry that when they eventually do something about weakauras, the helpful ones like the ones we use will be caught in the crossfire

waxen orbit
#

“Sorry guys wiped us there because my map was 15 degrees off and it directed me to the wrong spot”

#

I dread there being another Nelth fight this next tier

we spent like a hour a week during nelth prog

just getting peoples weakauras working

was super frustrating

dont get me wrong echo is a great fight but holy fuck who made that mech

Echo 🙂

Get me in a room with who designed Echo I just want to talk

lusty grotto

it really isn't except for the one mech

limpid ruin

Even hearts is really driven by a balancing issue more than design. Wall break damage is too high

waxen orbit

Based but still

cosmic wyvern
#

Part of me wishes I got to experience echo on mythic. Unfortunately my guild isn’t cutting edge, and we only got as far as Rashok on mythic (and since experiments took us so long, everyone was burnt out after that point)

lusty grotto
#

and then you have backwards timer fights like exp

waxen orbit
#

From a pure design perspective

#

And it being reliant on player triaging through weakauras

#

I cannot help but be irked by the design

lusty grotto

exp is just my biggest peeve

TOO MUCH DPS? youre fucked

TOO LITTLE DPS? youre fucked

At least Smolderon next tier is (allegedly) a combo of FL Ragnaros and Aggramar

Two of the best raid fights in the game’s history

at least fun for me since im a BDK

prot war buddy, not as fun

Surely they won’t private aura all of it and ruin the experience through relying on weakauras

that part isnt the problem augusto

waxen orbit

Surely

lusty grotto

thats the least of its issues

#

as a fight mechanically

#

its just fucking backwards as hell

waxen orbit
#

Prot warr the debuff is kinda rough tho

#

Like I don’t think we can really refute that one

#

But yeah the mechs are dogshit

plush tendon
#

Whats rough is having lots of stacks and the guy goes to do his drive by, but your co-tank cant clear with you so you sitting there just taking big damage

waxen orbit
#

This ^

lusty grotto
#

the whole "transition at x:xx or you're fucked" part is whats backwards

plush tendon
#

oh, and OCE never flipping drops

lusty grotto

yeah but it doesnt tick on breath

#

so

#

that doesnt really matter

cosmic wyvern
#

Experiments is the fight that made me realize I needed to get a lot better at prot Warrior. Then I did and realized that, no, the fight just fucking sucks for prot Warrior

And then shortly after I realized that, no, the fight just fucking sucks period

Eye of the Jailer was the same for me

And then I realized nah healers in SL all just needed lobotomies

by the time I got there at least

lusty grotto

i like guardian/rashok style tank swaps

cosmic wyvern

it'd be really nice if they gave us a way to effectively mitigate heavy-hitting magic DoTs, or alternatively stopped making fights with heavy-hitting magic DoTs as a tank mechanic

waxen frigate

You should take a stack and clear before that always

Also quick question

Should I be revenging more?

anything that just minces your character for 3-5 minutes
