yall im 453 ilvl but my shield is 441, now im kinda scared to tank 20s rn will it be a huge diff if i get a 467 (or higher) shield

not that experienced tank so idk if shield ilvl matter much

It will play a role, but 441 shield won't stop you

yeah okay fair enough

You'll take like 20% more dmg than a 467 or so

It's a dmg trinket

Pure dmg

The heal is lmao ignore it

waxen orbit
#

Idrgaf too much then I'll just keep farming Rezan and Augury

#

And signet

strong forum
#

Signet won't be that good in few of the dungeons

#

It takes 3min ramp before it does any dmg

#

And you can't game it as easily as anvil

waxen orbit
#

kk so Rezan and Augury/cheat death from Fall

#

EZ

strong forum
#

You still do want signet for the keys where you can keep it up

#

Cuz it's like 30%-50% better than any other trinket if you can maintain ramp

knotty vortex
#

Isn't fyrakk good in keys?

strong forum
#

After the nerf now it's a bit yikes

#

Its okay

#

But not amazing omg must have

#

The shield is still quite fake, the self dmg is insane, the dmg is alright

#

And you have to use it on CD

#

Otherwise wtf are you using it for

knotty vortex
#

Yeah I'm trying to figure out what to use overall in keys

strong forum
#

So unless you sit on the CD of it, it's not really reliable of a tank trinket, and if you don't use it on CD you just lose loads of dmg

#

For keys, ursine/rezan/augury/signet will be your top choices

#

Fyrakk is a nice to have but a big question mark of a trinket

knotty vortex
#

Only 2 trinkets on managed to get was that shell in tot and that cheat death. I'm reluctant to give up ominous and beacon

#

Still working on some m+

strong forum
#

Its day 2 of the patch

#

Not everybody lucked the fuck out in raid and got augury +signet

knotty vortex
#

I won't be getting it till our dps has or I get it from vault

#

So that will be a while

strong forum
#

Makes no sense

#

Signet is by far the best on a tank

#

And augury is best on whoever stacks the most crit

#

Dps don't gain more dmg from the trinket just because they are a dps role

#

Tanks live longer, therefor get more milage out of signet, and the self dmg of signet isnt relevant on tanks

#

It's a flat dmg trinket

#

Flat dmg doesn't scale with how much dmg your spec does as a baseline

#

strong forum
#

Nothing new

warm plinth
#

yeah

strong forum
#

And ursine will also go even more ham

#

The more targets you add

#

During the 8sec window of its counterattack

#

It has an icd of 0.1, so theoretically it can do 30x the dmg it normally does

#

And on average it will do 50% of its overall m+ dmg output during that 8sec counterattack window

I need ursine

Just falls off

Whenever you charge you lose your stacks

Awkward

And presumably when you parry you also lose your stacks

Yeah it's just turbo bugged rn

It should proc on every dmg event, even if absorbed or parried

But it just... Falls off randomly mid combat

How does one even dip their feet into prot? I levelled two warriors tanking dungeons and liked the play style but idk how to start actual pve content while keeping it as painless as possible for my dps and healers in pugs . Right now I’m working on my renown in the Dreams.

ionic fern
#

Well, you don't.

#

You just jump in.

slim current
#

I was thinking just doing m0-2 while remembering routes and mechanics etc

ionic fern
#

For dungeons, you can just queue for HC to see what the dungeons are..where to go etc.

#

And then once you are comfortable, start with m+2's.

#

If you already know the dungeons more or less, you can easily jump into 2's.

Gotcha thanks! Feel like im@overthinking it

Low keys don't need routes anyway. Just put a rough draft together and then go. If you need to make adjustments, do it for next time. It's not like you won't 3-chest it anyway even if you go 50% over count

I'm pretty sure it's the same. You just run up and make sure you stay in LoS of the healer so you can get dispelled

They should be dispelling you on CD there

Bold of you to assume more than 10% of healers in the game know what a dispell is

I played with a shaman healer yesterday who did 0 interrupts in a 3 ranged DPS group.

Pop a SW just in case.

If you're dorf, I assume you can also stoneform cleanse it once to try and give a buffer if things go south

Yeah that would work as well

runic night

I love these; "Pop everything and hope your group is compotent" sitautions

warm plinth

So I gues you could shroud/invis to the pack in front of the first boss in lower DotI

and that would put you at 104% by the end

That & Everbloom are the 2 dungeons i diddn't do yesterday.

I've only done Everbloom on a really low level. It seemed okay. The poison on the trash is kinda bullshit since it's not dispellable though

You just need to get a spark

waxen orbit

This is my first patch actually fully engaged since SL

pallid quiver

And then you can craft, base, to 463

And you can spend crests to be able to craft it again without a spark to higher ilvls

Is that even worth?

Like with the fact that

We could get any gear rn?

Bracer embel will be bis if you can get any gear, since it won't be replaced. That and cloak

Yeah

I got 467 bracers so cloak it is

I got some 20s waiting for me tomorrow and we’re hitting Smolderon on Sunday

#

Pretty decent start to a patch

median tulip
#

It doesn't really matter that much; because crafting has been fucked over by blizz making them lower ilvl, the only slots that matter long term are the embellishments

waxen orbit
#

Kk so slots where you’re sacrificing the least primary stat

Hence why crafting cloak or bracers just seems like a no brainer to me

Yeah

Not abysmal

I’m used to mainly engaging in M+ in SL tho so I’m used to having lower than max mythic gear

What is the correct way to deal with Smolderon tank soak/buster? Our druid took 2m one shot on normal, is it just purely that we didn’t soak enough? I’m certain we had soaks in it, maybe not 5 tho, or are there any other multipliers there?

Am I right that we break our old 4pc only for new set (at least 2+2) but not for ilvl increase?

lusty grotto

you break it for ilvl depending on sims

theres way too much ilvl difference to be farting around with non 450 ilvl s2 tier

thats not active right now

ohhhh ... ok i thought it was for right now .... thank you^^

oh

im wrong

its on the patch notes

Oh wow ok

I’m close

lusty grotto
queen bobcat

so I upgraded my cloak to 463 but now it seems like shadowflame is bugged. It used to do ~2.8% of my dmg. Now it does ~1.4%. Seems like the cloak is just not activating shadowflame

delicate oak
#

ok thank you for your help

echo drift
#

I think they nerfed shadowflame armor patch in this update

#

Yeah. It got a 35% nerf

lusty grotto
#

no

#

it didnt

#

that was ilvl adjustment

echo drift
lusty grotto
#

and that was a while ago

#

yes

#

thats the ilvl adjustment

echo drift
#

Okay im tripping then

lusty grotto
#

it should still deal 2-3% of your damage

queen bobcat
#

so why is my shadowflame doing less dmg than yesterday with lower ilvl cloak?

lusty grotto
#

no idea

#

maybe you arent pressing abilities enough?

#

do you have a log?

Do you have 2x shadowflame a equip?

i had 2% with just one and belt

so yeah

giga bad procs

today

not sure why it does not see this as a key

#

today was with new cloak

grim stone
#

New to prot tank this season, been some years since pushing content as one. On Larodar, Keeper of the Flame my co-tank has pulled threat from dps quite a few times and we are trying to figure out the cause considering im 13 ilvls higher. I have zero set bonus, not even last season, could this be a factor?

blazing condor
#

it could

#

but it would be easier to see what you are probably doing wrong by providing a log

urban portal
#

The way wow is designed makes ripping aggro very difficult

pallid quiver
#

"zero set bonus" okay but why tho, that's a lotta dam

Even without, you probably shouldn't be losing aggro still, since it usually takes a pretty large damage difference to actually straight out lose aggro with the massive boosts taunt gives

lusty grotto

our abilities scale with weapon damage

so does pretty much every melee and hunters

ive been only using revenge on proc, should i use it when its not procing as well?

pallid quiver

Revenge use as a whole is criminally low, SS use is low, you're physically casting rend,

pallid quiver

because it resets the CD on SS

which generates you more rage

yea anything under 16 cpm for SS is low

literally everything

except maybe the last 2

unless you grab its capstone talents, which are bad talents, so we don't take those

and then you pull the guys that swell

I shockwave every single target like five times, because that's the alpha Chad move.

# grim stone any good macros you guys are running?

I only just saw this, but the only non-cursor/player macro for Prot War that's of notable use is one that I think is still in pins. It doesn't save any keybinds, but it helps you snipe SS resets when you press Ignore Pain
