idk if it drops in vault
it doesnt
It's a personal loot for killing fyrakk
On what difficulty?
So you can raid finder into a legendary?
Ya
just open vault as arms and craft a shield/weapon
Lower drop chance but ya
then try to get a onehander from raid
So as fury then?
imo craft shield and weapon then open as arms
how much % of haste is a good point to stop (without into the fray)
cap is at 7,1k
and you can swap for 1hander or 2handers in raid
It's how I stole a 1h for tanking as fury in vault
But idk if it's worth opening as prot to see about snagging fyrakk trinket 
It's not worth the risk!
might as well go for the fyrakk dps tirnket
thanks for the info
nightmare egg shell or rezan's gleaming eye for mm+ guys ?
i have a rezans and it does a good amount of dmg in keys (especially bosses)
Guys how important is embelishment? I can craft 2 items but idk if I should do embelishment or something else
You’re never replacing embellishment pieces
You will replace other things
Do with that information as you will based on your goals and general gearing pattern
thanks for the quick answer guys !
Lies. I did ring first cause flavor pocket
Never. Flavor pocket is +50000 to all stats
Yeah I’ve been debating this honestly
Not losing food buff is nice but like
3ilvl is 3 ilvl
Prot war gives people a lot of tricks they can use to their advantage, bear just tanks damage
I will probably end up doing a ring or neck with it if I decide to run it
Prot war just attracts a different type of player
Only other class I can think is like that is BRM
Not extremely important
It’s about 1% damage
Oh I see, well in that case I should just be crafting whatever will be an upgrade?
can do lariat for example since my neck is 447 ilvl
Lariat is kinda turds until you have a shitton of sockets
Just make everyone stack, doesn't matter if it's slow or fast side https://clips.twitch.tv/InspiringCalmSowWoofer-aOw-Joy5V2EWQ3Yu
If they're out of position at all they'll die
So apparently we aren't super stronk this season? ;~; Boo.
On Nymue, I'm getting an overlap where I still have the 100% extra damage debuff, but my cotank has taken the bomb, and it's killing me. What cause the overlap, and is there any way to not have it happen?
I mean as a prot warrior I feel invincible, but the tier lists say we're not doing so great. So blizz should definitely buff us and knock those stupid Illidan cosplayers out of #1.
ngl they should ban the words tier list
The issue is we can’t have double silence sigal
DH brings to much
What we bring is normal
nothing beats vdh leaping into a pack and dying immediately though, LOL
wish someone would make a compilation of that happening over and over
is there a way to dodge rise last boss breath?
👏 STOP 👏 LOOKING 👏 AT 👏 TIER 👏 LISTS 👏
they are maybe by ither ppl who dont know everything about every spec
or just pull data from the game so its a popularity contest
I’m gonna make a stormforged tier list
am i gonna be f
Damn
just make your own though nish
everyone know the best thing to do about tier lists, is to make yet another one

i didnt do shit

but doing WC just so i can have the privilege to buy an augment rune for 100k

also its just blizz havent recovered form BFA SLs where they didnt need ot make content
We should make that a gif here maybe
I don't blame him, I blame the hunter, you can tell his brain went like "need to save him and do this"
It's always the hunters


I was rooting for Method to win
wasnt even the reason they wiped
was the only real choice
where that clip comes from
Sir I'm getting plenty of use out of my augment rune
Renown 20 also gives free wyrm craft
same
From his channel
100k was def worth
I dont know if I can afford the augment rune
yer i really needed that craft
I think I'm level 1 with renown
I'm having fun playing casually, not stressing and just playing
really needed the rune in mythic
you've never needed a rune for anything

thats a A tier book
This "Video is property of Comedy Central and or David Chappelle from Comedy Central's "Chappelle's Show"
I don't want to over gear runs like a scrub, so before I start an m+ run I always take off my pants
And I look all my group mates in the eyes while I do it to assert dominance
works hard, why, so you can go out and buy, bunch of shit, you dont need, driven by your punk ass hopes and dreams
That probably makes the video conference awkward ngl
no repair cost bs hammer op
Question for my fellow tanks: I love Black Rook Hold, favorite dungeon, and I've been clearing it a lot. Is there some intended way to not get fucked by those spooders with their enormous stacking dot? Or is that just part of the experience, getting murdered by little bugs?
Cuz the stacks of that dot rack up real fast. 
What Jakey said, but also make sure you keep a deep-seated hatred burning behind your eyeballs for Blizzard making dumb pointless shit like that.
stoneform
or run dwarf?
I'm a human.
Honestly just do the first big pull of spooders and if you die you die. The spiders will die regardless and then you can just do the big dude w/ the 2 little ones (which are a lot easier to manage stacks on) and the two mob patrol at the top
Healers can't be trusted
My current strategy is just crying into my pillow while my cheat death trinket prevents me from actually dying to that pull, but glad to know there isn't some secret trick I'm just missing here.
Use your CDs if you trust the healer to actually dispel because even if they dispel on CD, you're gonna get a lot of stacks unless they die instantly
save a ravager/troar for aggro, aggro all the spiders, stoneform off your stacks, cc/kite it until deadge
haha
i might be wrong but i swear if i have an absorb shield like heart i dont get stacks
but that sounds wrong
I mean kiting is another possibility... 
Nooooo
Don't do it Panda!
lol out of curiosity I looked at this 27 brh run
And I'm pretty sure the DH literally just dropped a sigil and bolted because he only took 1 tick of soul venom 
Right, smack spooders to piss them off then run, got it XD
Gotta be smart boi about it
breath hurty
healer has to not be asleep too, especially when there are keepers out as well
he literally exploses
Do you have a log of it by chance?
Our favorite thing is to criticize our fellow warriors
Just run past, let the dps take the threat and survive instead
this is honestly the biggest brain strat
DPS are expendable
if you've 20 spare seconds to burn on a death and res suicide tanking is fine too lol
If Pika does it, I must emulate this and take spooder bites to the ass. Because that is how a REAL MAN do.
He did not die in that dungeon
Also like a man
exactly
Emulate the man, the myth, the legend
the pokemon
That guy is a prot god
we ended up killing him by BL P1
I can emulate him just fine, emulating his healer is another thing

Well, DH has a lot of passive mitigation
that probably helps quite a bit w/ that type of shit
Is the dot spell blockable?
It is not
it's one extremely low impact pull I'm not that concerned about it lol
How dare they
He actually tried to use it on that pull it looks like
I cut it off in my snip though
I assume just get to big spider, blow cds and shockwave. Hope you survive
Yeah idk. It's a stupid pull with a stupider mechanic
Whoever designed that staircase is still chuckling about it to this day, you know that
lol
In reality it's probably just overtuned; you could pull the entire staircase in legion and it was fine
Pika pulls the first two large demon dudes back down to the boulder area seemed to work out well. Imma try that next time
It still hurt if you didn't get dispelled but it wasn't like here's a dot that instantly has enough stacks to do half your HP in one tick
top of the stairs
The bats are definitely a lot more manageable now that only 4 fixate at once instead of all of them
Still requires coordination in his level of keys i'm sure, but it won't instagib people in weekly keys lol
haha
Yeah doesn’t really worry the vast majority of us
Highest I did in there this week was an 18, we walked through it. All we did to was bursting
Oh was anyone else pleasantly surprised to find that the saurids in AD don't burst anymore?
(but dreadpetals in EB do so still fuck you blizzard)
i did 1 season of heroic raiding and remember why i dont raid
its draining on every level
Heroic is eays
Mythic is the drama
Otherwise you just wait until there’s 1shot Aotc farms and do your weekly in 2 hours
heroic is drama when clowns are invited
Week 6-8 likely
Average of like all classes? Or like prot war
Always handy to do both raid and M+, atleast heroic. Plenty of trinkets and weapons that are bis in there, plus tier obviously.
in and LFR or pug normal mode
i cant remember all the specifics but we were at the final boss queen ashzara
and i had my healer friend in there on voice comms with me, and he had inspected the tank after a wipe and noted that said tank was equipped with a green mace weapon, and he got very upset about it
and they said, oky, if yo fuck up again, and you complain we will kick you,, and so they ended up kicking him
sry yeah meant all classes
just tryna look up if my group is decent or not lol
is there a difference between raid ST and raid MT for talents?
Yes
and the some of the raid was saying like oh ya go green weapon tank guy
Just picture numbers at the bottom that state dps
ezpz
amaze
But there’s not really a fight you need to spec multi target for in the new raid, there’s adds but it’s like 1 pack every 30sec to a min. I just got ST all raid
thanks
Can also run off your group parse for speed, if it’s grey your numbers are probably in the lower half.
this is mythic btw, not heroic so sample sizes are fairly small for a good number of these
aff and MM have 2 digit representation in Mythic 
I get sticking to your guns and playing what you like, but BM is easy and pumping just make the change.
MM sucks
I find MM to be very boring. BM is faster than it has been with their new tier set/build so you can't even complain about it being slow anymore lol
mm more fun to me
I have a friend who really enjoys MM as well
I don't see the appeal but idk. In most content it really doesn't matter what you play so
live your dream
Few tries at Volocross heroic today, I was taking loads of damage
His tank mechanic is unblockable
The dot he leaves on you after your cotank has taunted, that felt like the culprit
(more than anything)
like 8 stacks
so in ToTT last boss if the whole floor around the boss is blacked, what am i supposed to do?
if the dpses are not clearing properly
You can't do anything
holy fuck we had like 5-10 attempts on it
and everytime i try to stack every add together
and one of the addss never gets kicked xD
and then whole floor will be full
also just wondering but wouldnt it be a viable strategy if everyone put the pools very far away at the edge of the room
and we only clear adds pools?
never saw people do that
I dont understand the wowhead guide. It seems to still list season 2 stuff. Which gear would be the most important to craft by now? I have 2 Sparks of Dreams to use?
Right now, fill out any weak slots you have, especially Shield and Weapon.
In the long run with max gear, the only slots you ultimately want to have as Crafted are Wrists and Cloak - both with Shadowflame on them. This is because Blizz have nerfed crafted gear so it caps out 3 ilvls lower than the Mythic track gear.
Thank you very much
For prot i use allied wrist and sporecloak. Because i like follow the role. Tank with dmg, its not fun for me. I am balboa's pupil
🤣🤣
Don't encourage deeply suboptimal play lol
Sporecloak is a poor choice.
double shadowflame is just too good
Honestly, if you're cheap just making wrists and cloak with shadowflame is BIS so you can just make them and completely check out mentally on those slots.
even nerfed by 35%
Some of the other crafted pieces are not terrible. I have a ring with Alchemical Flavour Pocket on it, which is handy. Allied Wrists are not terrible, being obviously more defensive than Shadowflame.
But for M+ I would always run Shadowflame for sure
True, but you're not needing them unless you're doing high 20s low 30s
i have pocket on neck and i will probably do that next to 486 and i will run it over any 489 neck
So making them otherwise is just propping up poor play
I really like the 50% increase on potion duration embellishment and the haste pants
I went with the Ring because the crafted rings have a free socket and getting sockets is a late-season thing (usually)
I prepot invis to pull the first mage into the opening pull in wcm
yes rings are a very solid craft because they are well statted and have a socket at 486
486 rings with socket is better than 489 ring without
I hate those fucking mages so much
Then don't route them
and getting a socketed 489 ring with the right stats will be hard
I don't even mobs whose name has mage in it in WCM
And I've never pulled one to my knowledge
mages in WCM?
The runeweaver
the invisible etch ladies
Oh those are easy
I don't think they move bud
Lol
There's one to the left both weeks I've been in there
They definitely change which ones spawn each week
Opening week there was 2 in that hallway
Now there's 1
Last week the one in the kitchen didn't spawn
Now it does
3 of the 4 spawn locations will be active, why they left it that way after opening all the doors
who knows
TBH I hadn't realised that
Oversight I'd guess, half the dialogue in the post-raid quests isn't even voiced
I just pull and murder things until I have 73%
Can't you LOS the etch wind up
.7s isn't that bad
It's doable but most players are not that quick
Or paying attention
Yeah
Just make Gholak drop 4hed
Etch is a check to see if your DPS know how to use Defensives iirc
will come in vault dw
I mean it'll straight merc someone through a defensive on a high enough fort
Dumb question
You can spell reflect the first one if you pull it first
do i ever take off defensive stance?
And all others are put of combst
Like ever in M+?
The general advice people will give you is to stay in battle stance until you need to be more defensive.
I think if you're just learning prot war staying in defensive till you feel comfortable is fine
Buy yeah
Though if you aren't comfortable staying alive in battle stance, just stay in defensive. Not like your group is going to know.
As you get higher keys you'll want to start helping with dps as much as you can
Generally you're safest during most bosses
the full pug curve has finally been achieved at least 
surely i'll get fyrakk items in my vault now 
How hard is it to tank heroic fyrakk?
damage wise it felt fine for me at 468
mechanically its not really hard either
so a pretty easy fight
but im also pretty used to how to play the spec so might not be representative
but it wasnt like very high magic damage or anything you constantly have to mitigate
ok gotchya.
So I asked this earlier, but I didn't get an answer: Oh Heroic Nymue I have had an overlap where I have to pick her up again as Active Tank, but I still have the 100% extra damage taken debuff; any idea what causes that? It's reliably at 2m45s into the fight
I've finally get rid of beacon 
pog
isn't that "kind of" how the fight is supposed to be? you run out with your bomb - get the debuff - and the debuff doesnt wear off before the next tank takes bomb
as long as youre mindful of that you can just pop a cd and its fine. you only get 2 bombs each before intermission anyway
so you got time to get it back
now Im getting 2nd fyrak trinket from vault on wednesday and I will get rid of anvil 😄
Wowee
thats the way it works, you need to have defensives for that moment
Every other time, the debuff goes away before she goes back to spamming damage on the active tank. Just on this one time (the second bomb after the intermission) there's a lower overlap and she trucks me with 100% damage bonused casts for around 6s
I got rid of anvil and beacon week 1
nice 😄
Replaced 1 for eye of rezan and other for the tree branch
idk the timings i just know i usually have to tank a few hits with that debuff on
Eye of rezan was only vet quality, but still an upgrade
so i think thats semi intentional
That augury is gonna slap, how much dps did you go up on a st sim?
Pat the doggo
One or two I can cope with, but 4 is a bit much
u guys use cheat death trinket or wat? ngl it has saved my ass few times
Na
if i get it i'll use it cus its an upgrade
Just raw dog it with dps trinks apb
Probs depends on level of content too, I know some people use it in mythic
I dont know sims, but we went gnarloot on M after fyrakk, and it was doing 13-15k dps
Struth
We only 4/9 heroic atm
Couple of groups in my team are 2/9m, I just don’t have time to play in their teams. 3x 3 hours I think they do
Unfortunately no shield drop from Gnarloot 😦
The team I’m in does 2x 2hours a week
Sad
thats decent prog for 2x2h/week I guess
Yeah we don’t go over because people get tired…
But it keeps things nice and fresh though, if you feel like you’re hitting a wall you’re normally only 30mins off being finished anyway haha
What’s the best way to learn tacts for raid as a tank? Never tanked a raid before only healed/dps
Hey guys , please I need help. I can Tank 20s without any problem in 463 Gear , but Murozondu is eating me even on 18 . Have any tips for how to survive there?
the breath is the problem cus it hits hard and leaves a big dot that hurts. First of all you can use heroic leap to leap out of range of the breath which saves you (and your healer) a lot of resources. Other than that you kinda just sit in defensive stance and rotate defensives. Use shield wall/last stand, spell block/spell reflect, Impending victory and just keep ignore pain up
there are good guides on youtube that goes through it all. Not any specific tank guides anymore from what ive seen though. a lot is just understanding the fight
besides that its just playing it and getting experience
any advice how to beat 2nd boss in everbloom at 20+?
u just burst right boss with bl
and use whatever u can for the dash
i did it today easy on 450
Wait the cone attack has a range? And if I'm fast I can get out of it !?
well for me for the boss dash i had to always have max ip def stance minimum
usually used a defensive too to make it easier
there's also that bug spot
that someone showed me
but i didn't get to try it yet
big range, so you have to be fast when jumping out of it. For first phase the tip is to be ready and pre-run a bit as the ad spawn to make it easier cus he casts it right after spawning the ad
no idea i used shieldwall on 1st and on 2nd last stand + ip wasnt enough
make sure you're in dstance for every charge, reflect up for every other charge, cycle other major defensives for charges, take spell block if you aren't currently
I'm gonna try it TY mate, it's frustrating that it's so hard compared to other bosses
use your rage tools to pool IP for charges rather than straight dps thruput
its a tough boss for us but just keep your CDs rolling and pray your healer can give you some help
but jumping out of it makes it easier
you cant jump every breath though only every other (if you play with bounding stride talent)
is there a list of boss frontals/hard hits u can leap out of?
deios frontal 30 yds and oakheart frontal 25yds, both can be outranged with a max distance leap
just leap straight back as soon as the cast starts
Roger , nice painting 😁
MSPaint Tactical advice FTW
I was topping DPS charts this morning on my 430 Dorf War alt
Only person who ended up beating me was a 469 DK on the last set of bosses
Best one about LFR is the people who hit the boss once then afk
Sounds similar to echo pre nerf
What?
Echo of neltharion had a similar overlap before it got nerfed
Oh I see
You took 3-5sec of damage with debuff
Yeah... it was kinda chunking me
Hi, I noticed there was a there was a tooltip change to Ignore Pain, which no longer shows how much Ignore Pain is actually granted from the next cast. Is there another method to find the value?
On Warcraft Logs, blocked stagger damage is not added as part of the total. Is this the amount of damage you blocked within your total or is at an additional number on top of your total?
can you just get rage on a dummy, cast it once, and mouse over the buff?
Yes, that method still works, but would not be viable for updating the now broken Ignore Pain weakauras
deios one was hard af i couldn't do it
My weakaura works just fine 🤷♂️
I don't understand what you're asking
This one that i've been using is definitely broken: https://wago.io/HJbdun3yN
Due to using the GetSpellDescription(190456) API
Are you talking about healing total?
Normal and Absorbed equal my total of 44mil
Is the 12mil of blocked damage part of that 44mil or was it a further 12mil of damage that was blocked? Making my true total 66mil?
I suspect the former
Are there any DoTs in new raid that works with second wind like the one on Rashok?
it's definitely possible, done it dozens of times in the last two weeks
23mil dmg didn't get mitigated via block or absorb
20mil dmg got mitigated via absorbs
12mil dmg you took via blocking
Is how I understand that
its one of hardest cuz the cast is faster then oakheart
where should i get the second one
keep an eye on the frontal timer and spin your camera before the cast starts (I set a 5 sec audible countdown in bigwigs for both frontals), use a '/cast [@cursor]heroic leap' macro and keep your mouse high on the screen and you'll do a max range jump without having to futs with a target
That's what I was thinking but, it throws me off because the total damage is the sum of "Normal + Absorbed"
Yeah, I was just curious thought I'd ask. Haha
People track the value of the Ignore Pain absorb?
Not that I'm aware of, I was just looking at total damage taken and from what sources when I noticed this while hovering over myself.
isnt Blocked/staggered the amount of damage that you didnt take due to this mitigation?
If it was only 12mil
as a number, no, but as a bar on top of my healthbar where I can visually see how much absorb vs cap I have, yes
Then I'd be seriously concerned
12mil is like 50 auto attacks worth of blocked hits
A dh complained on me and told me to swap class because warriors are useless so i did a comeback
His name is fotmcringe
yeah that swapped to dh this tier
That alone speaks volumes
Mine was HC Fyrakk as well. I'm assuming you have more mastery than me and did more crit blocks.
Have you used spellblock?
Nah, I didn't use it. That'll be it then
should i use bigwing cuz i already have dbm
I didn't feel the pain to be honest. SR into SW every combo felt fine and boss was dead at 4 stacks on me, 6 on co-tank
Tried to squeeze out a bit more damage
The state of this:
also frontal and dmg from debuff on his AA in p1/p2 is also blockable
bro war prot do a lot of damage in that dungeon
I'd imagine you can do the same thing in dbm but I've been using bigwigs for as long as I can remember
so I can't really help there
timers addon is just timers addon, both are fine
u actually help a lot

Especially with Waycrest being a really free key this season
em, do i cast shield block on cooldown?
the duration seem to stack
i know the guide says only when you need to but lets say
i chain fight to fight without downtime, casting it on cd is fine right?
Ursine Veng still bugged?
if u run bolster or HR then you can send it on CD, but if you dont run either you might have to watch it
for the most part, yes
ay alright big thanks
unless you're at the tail end of a pull and the duration would be wasted
max shield block duration is 3x duration
so 24 sec with extended talent, 18 without
bolster adds hard 15 seconds regardless
Hello, if I have 4p, should I try to maximize 4p buff by using ignore pain before every SS or should I still use it only when I need defense or to not overcap rage ?
you don't want to hold ss for fervid if that's what you're asking
ability priority stays the same
It is more a question about the use of the rage, if there wasn’t 4p I would use revenge more
Now I use ss when I can but if I can do an ignore pain before I’ll do, but then I don’t have enough rage for revenge
Well actually I still use revenge sometimes but way less than if I didn’t played like that
And maybe it is what gives me aggro issues sometimes
pwar is doing actual ass aoe damage is what's doing that
We burst aoe well, but we don’t really reach the heights some of the others do
you're doing 150k dps outside of ravager/troar windows, the dh is blasting 700k
he's gonna rip aggro
oh em does ignore pain stack or just refeshes the shield to cap
definitely wouldn't complain about a revenge buff in the next batch of tuning, i don't even think pwarr is weak i just think pressing revenge feels like shit
Playstyle and overall incentives stay the same, all that it really means is like, if you need to press IP and SS at the same time, you IP then SS or something along those lines.
You can complete ignore it and still be fine off enough
like i dont think we need another random aura buff, we kinda blasting on ST
it's a ss reset fishing button and deep wound applicator
keeping aggro in aoe is quite good with current 4p
But execute could use a lil' somethin somethin, if you know what I mean
After some times yes but I often have issues at the beginning if I don’t have my cd
Ignore Pain stacks to 30% of max HP. It'll refresh duration pressing it again, but we don't care about that when sending IP
yeh we do excellent st with set, but we're comparatively very anemic in aoe, especially if you're going into a pull without ravager or troar
I'm just saying that I want Execute to deal 20% of an enemy's max HP
tclap feels like it has a nonexistent threat modifier
this is the last 2 minutes of anduin
what happened to this blizz
bring this back
i miss SL execute
Literally the only thing I miss
tbf it wasn't so much execute
One of my favorite things ever is to have my DPS friend talking shit
And me to go "just wait until execute phase"
Yeah, that helped a lot, too
the tooltip shows you the cap, which is 30% of your max hp, the per-cast amount varies with your ap/vers, but generally it's about 1/4th the cap
I got automodded
skill issue
so stacks 4 times-ish
And no idea what was automodded susge
I just really want to press Execute is the real thing
That's it, that's the button
maybe they just make execute also eat bleeds
like with the tier set
but even before this tier execute was doggy
just buff its damage by 50% and call it a day 
Make it deal damage if it did, but leave the bleeds there
Anyhow, beyond making game poipy funny game, I do agree with your Revenge point. It really just feels like a filler button entirely now due to our rage economy and lack of downtime in GCDs. Zero idea how they could adjust that in a meaningful matter, since just upping its damage won't fix the core feedback issue even if it brings parity to aoe
ah aye big thanks
the problem is that our last 2 tier sets have made SS increase aoe damage either with TR cooldown or with LS aoe
so going revenge->tc->revenge->tc during avatar just feels like shit
i'd rather just get back to my aoe burst CDs since that's what it's all about
Make Revenge reduce Ravager CD is what I'm hearing
make revenge extend ravager duration
You know what, that's funnier
delete revenge
I'm adopting that one
who with me
ravager->9 GCDs on revenge in a row
revenge is fine as a reset button, maybe buff damage on revenge and tclap by 10%, definitely give them a better threat modifier
i personally preferred revenge in legion having a short CD, costing a good chunk of rage, but doing a shitzillion damage
our aoe damage is bottom by a not small margin, but the way more annoying part of that is that aoe threat is a legit problem outside of our aoe burst windows
i dunno i've not had issues with aoe threat
if you don't have ravager, TR, avatar, or challenging shout
that's kind of a skill issue
maybe if you have a chimp havoc
dh strips off me in the first 5 seconds of the pull constantly if I dont have ravager or troar
It's never a problem on my ppala is I guess my point
one shield and sotr which happens instantly on every pull and I can't lose aggro
meanwhile charge tclap revenge does fuck all and aggro gets stripped instantly
I dunno I can probably make some adjustments on cd to help the issue, but lose dps doing it.
I just have weird pockets on pwar where it feels like I'm tacking into the wind on aggro that don't happen on other tanks.
how are people doing EB on 20+ keys or higher, that second boss wrecks
so much dmg to the group on that splash charge
good defensive rotation, spell block is effectively mandatory in eb, group is good about not dropping pools on boss
not worried about myself, group seems to be dying
giga nuke one of the two, generally right because it's always caster first
one person reserves kick for heal
so not the heal one first? the one that does the toxic bloom?
heal one only heals if the cast gets off, otherwise does identical damage to the other one
and the other one is always the caster first
keep a kick for the heal cast and stun cast, everyone else kicks on cd
most important part of the fight is just spreading for the charge and not dropping poo on the boss
im justt sitting on priority target or do i bounce boss between both?
sit on prio until it's dead
for the cleave
ranged kick sets healer as focus and just focus kick when it happens
yea i mean melee just dropping shit on boss, i don't think melee is ideal for this dungeon
the sooner one dies you cut the rot damage on the group in half
one needs to die asap
if melee is dropping on the boss they're just playing incorrectly
they should be stepping out when the charge is happening
maybe it was the healing, idk, but I fail every single EB i have pugged thus far
at that boss
So Shield Slam not being your top is instantly concerning
first key tracking fervid. I felt kinda dumb
I'm also adding intervene to my list of things to improve warrior utility.
Make it redirect spells as well so warriors can intervene reflect targetted stuff.
That would be legit group utility.
We'd have to have a log ti check, but you're probably sending too many outbursts on TC instead of SE
Combine intervene and charge back into intercept like wod/legion had it
Add safeguard where intervene is on the talent tree
Or make charge on allies a thing to keep Charge in the game
intervene as it exists is just such an insanely niche button that doesn't really do anything
being able to intervene and reflect targetted dps nukes would be actually useful
intervene hasnt had a use since halls of valor in season 1
Neltharus was nice
I can think of 3 very easy buffs without changing any talents or anything to fix a couple of minor ish things. Buff revenge damage (also make it do more on 1 target) buff TC damage and buff shockwave and Stormbolt damage (x amount extra damage vs targets that can’t be stunned)
That’s 4 sorry, got carried away
does prot warrior suck
Nope
Doing pretty well, a little below others on aoe, but exceptional at single target
I feel like I've been pumping on damage in low keys learning it
Can't even tank +2s
can't wait to see what affix we get with fort tomorrow
Aids
That’s what we’re getting
do we break 4pc for 2pc 2pc

I mean, I clicked it
I hope and wish they give prot condemn back. I wanna spam that button 
Make execute talents more viable 
push week baby
It should be Fortified/Volcanic/Spiteful
Which is basically a free week, as none of that shit does anything to us
Spiteful is just a great week for Protection padding
"What's that you say? A whole week of extra mobs that don't harm us but make the other melee run away? And they take AoE damage?"
Sorry if this is a dumb question. How do I get spell re-election damage to show up on my details?
Yes sorry
under spell reflect
If not, you can check enemy damage done to themselves
I love the phone pic of the screen. Gj on your first BRH, did you pull all the rooms in one go?
Haha tech isn’t my strong suit
shift + windows key + s is your friend
you can just paste here
after you do your selection
anyway thats neither here or there
you can reflect the very first trash but only if they cast on you
and the trash after 1st boss, the arcane dudes, but again only if they cast on you
Proof im a quick learner
if they didnt cast on you while it was up, it wont show up, any failed reflects simply wont show
i hit the last boss for 900k and i assume it was a reflected shadowbolt
nothing from last boss is reflectable
You can't reflect the volley? 
Probably a fervid bite crit during last boss
could have just been an outburst ss
with buff
remember you get buffed in the 2nd half of the fight
Who can forget, it makes details overall go burrrr
Yeah, 300%
Figured bite would be biggest single hit
i get rocked during oakhearts grip attack even with shield wall and spaming ignore pain. am i missing something?
i swear to god we're gonna have to add these to the faq like in s1
Just deathstrike, and you will be fine in the grip 
lol
50%party
that signet brand does work
even for a normal trinket
Is the augury any good?
its good yea
they offered me the heroic one, but I passed to a dps
Where is execute
Very good 
😦
stacking debuff shreds warriors yeah 😅
The DOT doesn't bother me
It was more the cataclysmic jaws
And we realized I ripped threat and copped a stack
So it was hitting for a shedload
it was the other way around for me, odd 🤔
grip is environmental damage so it doesn't count toward death strike healing
That’s because you have dps and healers who can do the bosses
It took my 3 20 falls to get a group who could one shot the 2nd boss and I still had to solo it from 15-0
Ooo, i solod the last 10% of the 3rd ToT boss on a 23 and the last 11% of the AD last boss on 24AD.
Was fun.
Tbf, that boss can be a pug killer if people don't group for the debuff.
Not as much as the 3rd one, but still.
But luckily, that dungeon is pretty forgiving on time.
My prot paladin had his shit punched in by totem boss
Dps always complain if you try to solo that boss for more than 20% even though it’s like it’ll still be timed even if it takes 6 minutes
Even through conc and sotr and s light cd
Totem boss is first time I wanna make s spreadsheet to plan CDs lmao
Warrior prolly gonna gobble that shit up like it's nothing
IN DHT.
Dht tree monkaS
CHARGE BOY IN EB.
Kinda.
My prot paladin died a bunch of charge boy in Ezb I til I figured out
I was running away out of conc
🤣
Started replanting conc, stopped dying
I wish prot warrior had a bit of extra flavour. Let us titan grip a 2h with shield for funzies
The totem boss ain't that horrible. It's just..a ton of extra magic damage.
I find the totem part on my other tanks Rips.me apart
I imagine prot warriors mitigation deals with it incredibly well
I've yet to fight it
I need to log more
My apologies.
Well, "nature" damage to be more precise i guess.
That's fucking jank, I thought it was fast physical swings lmao
I'm dumb, ty for the educating me

You live you learn.
It's "100% increased Attack speed and on successful hit it's + magic damage.
Should I open my vault as fury tomorrow? To try and get the dps trinket from fyrakk?
I’m also still needing tier though
And fyrakk weapon
there was a transmog bug that allowed u to equip 2hs with shield
probably fixed tho
also yea i feel like tott bosses for warrior are super easy except the last one
and last one its cus of pugs being dentge
Peieorize tank shit
You'll be drowning in DPS trinkets a month from now
is there any other tank trinket i want if i have the cheat death already?
or anything for tank?
You don't want the cheat death either
got a haste versa avoidance shield
Maybe rage heart
looks like thats what people are running tho
No
I almost guarentee u are proccing it
They are suboptimal.
So its a wasted slot
If you're in the 0.1% that can argue that it's saving push keys
No yuzu, they are good for 2 things, world first progress and world first keys
so why would they be top
Sure, but don't use defensive shit for no reason
Kyrasis was itemized like a complete clown, wrotr a guide that is absolute shit
#1 bdk world
For rio
Being good, doesn't mean you're making good choices with talents and items
It means you're good mechanically, and have the time to grind.
I'm using the cheat death atm.

I stand by what I said
Because there's only so far skill will take you when numbers eclipse any counterplay.
That's why cheat death trinkets are being used by the top-top-top players.
I’m half tempted to use the corrupted Phil for for crit
Literally nobody else needs them because you can counterpaly mechanics by not being doodoo.
Hence, garbo.
I like cheat death trinkets, to prevent a misplay from costing more time
Than I'd have gained from the DPS trinkets.
Luckily for you, i think i am in the top 0.1% atm.
I'm bad, they my training wheels
subcreation?
Subcreation is just usage statistics but people follow it blindly
u mean the wowhead one?
I'm literally telling you that the only reason to run a cheat death trinket is fucking math.
It's the alphabetical tier list
That's how you end up with literally every shaman using mana spring totem
LOL
Like, your numbers cannot survive encounters or mechanics.
Someone needing one in a 16 isn't a proof.
It's a counterpoint.
The only way you'd need it in a 16 is if you're like 390.
i mean i'm never using it for anything else other than seeing trinkets combo
because other stuff is too diverse
Nobody even reads what that node does they just take it cause high usage
I recommend titrating your defense and itemization based on what you specifically need
I'm sure mwahi has it equipped because he evaluated what he needed to do his task
It's good data if you use your own brain for sure
What?
well, currently my trinkets are 437 vial from last season and the cheat death
so that's why i asked if i should go prot for vault
or still dps
I would suspect that he isn't wearing it in his weekly 20s lol
cus not sure how good cheat death trinket is compared to others
Or on raid encounters that are on farm
on the wowhead guide it's in like B tier
meanwhile everyone else uses it
that was the confusion
Cheat death trinkets exist on a delta that 99.9% of players neither understand nor can act on.
Offensively, it's akin to chaining a cinder block around your ankle trying to swim.
In other words, again, garbo.
Cheat death trinkets are always gonna be good on tier lists
Defensively, it's a good cheat.
Ahhhh.
Counter point, cheat death trinkets are good for learning content.
well the thing is its not
on wowhead atleast
Learning wrong is objectively bad, no.
You aren't learning to rely on it
You literally are.
Mostly pushing we keys where things will kill you
yeah same
Cheat doesn't hurt my feelings on high tyrannical Oakheart
No. You're learning the content with training wheels, when the the training wheels stop being useful you replace it.
im still undergeared and shit that i dont know about could sometimes kill me or get me to 10% in one second
so the trinket helps me learn to use something next time
Logging will help
100% of the time learning how to play your class properly is going to be better.
Not really.
I use the cheat death because:
1)It's my only other trinket at 470+ ilvl
2)I usually game it at specific points.
Because other people on the road can actually kill you.
Other people in my keys can kill me
You're pretty much almost entirely responsible for your own living or dying assuming your healer isn't comatose.
It’s b+ on wowhead and the listed best defensive trinket, 11th top trinket 2nd/3rd that can be obtained through m+
See: my healer on rezan
Either way, if you're learning ,use cheat, check log for where it procs,
Fix issues
When it stops proccing, take it off
Sometimes the seatbelt saves me from other people, sometimes it saves me from myself
Logs >
like u have a whole ass effect
Usually I know before it procs tbh
Doesn't matter from where you check it.
As long as you realise what made it proc.
And if it was your own bad play.
Or something else.
yea thats what i mean
u can tell like 90% of the time instantly what made u proc it
It's a good set of training wheels. Proc it, analyze gameplay, stop proccing it 👌 new trinket
But like, besides Rise last boss Deios, is there really anything deadly for us in m+ this season?
On my other tanks, it's usually mismanagement of CDs, bad resource management from 20s ago, etc.
I guarantee it's gonna reinforce neglectful behavior.
Deios is not that deadly.
You canwap deus breath
Cheat trinkets for learning are good in theory but as someone who needed them to do 18s in shadowlands I definitely was building bad habits of having them proc then playing super defensively between cooldowns because I had lost my safety net
DHT Oakheart wrecks.
Leap
Really?
Oak is honestly the scariest dungeon boss in the entire season atm.
Yes.
Rezan bleed, Oakheart grabbing your balls, Deios breath
Fair enough, relying on them can be bad
Eventually almost everyone should be taking them off
What is wap in this context?
i mean i just play like normal everytime lmao
cheat death is just there if the very unfortunate happens and i dont wanna waste 2 mins walking back to the pull/boss to do it all over again
But oakheart is deadly now?
Oakheart in DHT and Leapy boy in EB (unless you cheese) are the 2 horrid ones that have stood out for me thus far.
I remember in legion it wasn’t that bad
Oak heart fucking wrecks
Yeah, he doesn't care about AM atm.
Oakheart is fucked up, it's a little unethical
Oakheart was always deadly.
And that’s when I think you couldn’t do anything while gripped
Oak was just an AM check in Legion, no?
Pretty sure it was magic damage then as well.
The problem is good intentioned players that are using them to learn content probably are also the same players that aren’t confident in their spec and the safety net reinforces the same poor gameplay that procs the trinket because they feel like it doesn’t matter since they didn’t technically die, then the stress from losing the safety net forces them to fall into playing even more defensively which creates other issue and ultimately creates more dangerous situations
Talk about unintuitive game design.
This giant tree monster grabs you up! He's squeezing the life from you, crushing you!
Oh good thing I have plate armor
IT'S MAGIC DAMAGE
Nature damage hurts the most because all wow players are weak to grass
There's a neck for that
oh yeah is there something specific u can do to lower the grab damage?
or do u just tank it with a defensive
and hope for the best
Leap breath so you actually have ignore pain for the grip
That's why Vegeta was slapping Goku's cheeks in S1 of DBZ - the squeeze he did as Ozaru was fucking MAGIC.
Plan cooldown usage
wall and reflect are you only dr options
and you can't have wall for every grip
so it gets real scary real quick
does spell block not work? i cant remember
No.
i've done thee dung on 20 but died at like 5% left
Shield wall, last stand, reflect, impending victory
lmao
Yeah if you got cookie and pot, you can live lord it
last stand and victory rush help but they aren't dr
They don't have to be.
I feel like for keys under 22 oak hearts main problem is just the breath before hand, cause if I leap the breath and actually have full rage and full IP going into grip it’s just a snooze fest
I'm just saying, it's environmental damage so you can't block/parry it and demo shout doesn't work on it
They are good tools to help you live
What's the race that has 1% nature damage reduxtion
yea i didnt know back then to leap away
boom
learnt after it
Nelf?
Why tf is crushing grip environmental damage?
Because Blizz wanted tanks to suffer immensely.
A giant tree squeezing you with its big tree hand is not only not physical damage sourced by the tree squeezing you, but environmental magic damage.
tanks are opressed fr
This is bullshit I’m going to bed
Dstance + CD + full bar of Rage for IP spam.
No wonder my bdk was getting fucked on a 19
Make one mistake and people are up your ass, go too slow and people whine, go to fast and people die because they can't figure out how not to overlap CC/kicks.
I don't even use Demoralizing shout on that fight on CD.
But if you go at just the right pace
I plan it for grips.


are you even playing warrior?
