ive definitely seen 100% blocks but ususally thats against crap world mobs
unless i hallucinated things
Regular block caps at 85%. Spell block has no cap.
I have also Drayen, but they say "Blocked"
Or you're just instantly leeching back the remainder
sometimes the block is so small they just say blocked
a LFR shield has 1800 less block than a mythic maxed shield
just fyi
Highest I can get with talents is 47.06%. It's just so weird that we can't increase that value outside of 1 piece of gear (Our shield) and a talent.
Thank you for the info
yeah "Blocked" is what i was refering to
because the game is balanced around it
i would rather all my defense be in 1 piece of gear than spread out over 15
Are you including brace stacks in that?
An expansion later and im back with the same issue
During m+ keys i seem to always screw up my aggro when pulling
Some fringe mob losing aggrow early in the fight
What do i eh do
I standard procedure is
Charge>TC>shield charge>Avatar>ravager>shieldblock>SS>demo>roar
Not much if you’re doing everything right
Some dps will just tear threat if they don’t wait a sec
Is it havoc dh?
Almost everyclass is tearing it off
Say i want to do a big pull
I charge TC revenge and jump to the nrxt pack
The pack i tc and revenge is usually no longer on me
Even though i watched a blood dk drop and aoe and just ran to the other having no issue (0)_(0)
I mean if people are blasting packs while you're collecting it's their fault
But I generally try to keep an eye on collecting packs if I know they might start to blast
and charge back with tc or some heroic throws + taunt
If DPS dump their CDs into mobs you are actively moving, rather than tanking, then that's a them problem
I have issues targeting the things i dont have aggro on
Or well
Just targeting issues
Im not sure if they are dumping cds as it keeps happening
Get good platers and kind of check mobs health
Say i charge in
I already see spells flying infront of me
yeah it's their fucking problem if they die
I know who it is
Just having issue clicking on the specific guy
there's literally a meme about warriors charging way too early and dying before tanks can get aggro
I mean when playing warrior dps
Enrage regen/die by the sword +victory rush+ spell shield makes one very difficult to be killed i think
Never really died unless i suddenly got aggroed without expecting it
But alright thanks
But just to check
Charge TC revenge is usually good enough for aggro right?
Or must i throw in more revenge
I never have aggro issues doing that yes
So charge tc revenge shield charge revenge
Assuming dps doesnt start blasting before im even there
And you can get easily oneshotted as I’ve had that happen a couple of times like an idiot, mobs can crit you for a lot
If no shield block aye
Starting to wonder if i should put points into reducing the aoe stun to not fuck it up
Oh wait it doesnt exist now right
no I mean as a dps warrior
Oh ah
Is there a cap stack on the tree boss in WM ? I got hit for 1M2 when the previous melee was 400k~ (about 60 stacks IIRc)
99, I think
Alright then, not sure where that oneshot came from then.
Thanks:)
Probably showed my back or something, i'll check the log sometimes
why would u go to 60 stacks tho
Because why not, almost dead and stuff
Great getting another chance at H fyrakk.. will do combat logs this time
At Soulbound Goliath in WM i can ignore the fires to reset Soul Harvest when SB is 100% up? Guy told me he managed 3x stacks in 20+ Key...
are the tanks meant to jump away when he does dream rend? or just run away
If you really mean only 3 stacks..yeah
U cant rly feel it even at 15
he mean more tha 30...
Either's fine.
Doesn't really damages the tank.
You just get the same aoe damage as everyone else
Oh might be doable tbh
I literally asked for this at 60 stacks in 22 3 lines before ;)
Its rly annoying when u get unlucky with the fires
and have to run half a courtyard tho
And no, it starts hitting at some point, although it takes time
inbetween getting ppl out
Starts to hit a little at 40, 50 is good enough reset wise imo. Depends on key level though
ok thanks
lol... ok sry 🙂
No worry, can't read everything;)
i'm going to try to not die from the blaze.. do i use demo shout or shield block for that? or ignore pain and shield block
or can that be reflected
Can't
but reflect reduces its damage
You shouldn't use anything for it, unless you're pretty low health already
You can also use Dstance if you feel squishy for it
Depends where you feel it hurts basically
thats what i'm in dstance
I usually CD on the tank buster, and when I get high stacks of debuff
i felt hurt when he hits me when i get the bite plus the blaze
I do CD on bites in P3 though
if you can make the cd overlap between blaze & bite, that's great
but P3 just hurts
and bites hurt more than the blaze
So i usually try to keep my CD for the bites
yah thats whats goign to kill me
pretty much
but with the blaze?
do the stacks amplify the blaze damage too?
never looked it up cus i reset at like 20 stacks 
maybe i should go more
Not sure at all, just starts to hurt when I get to 20 stacks
Don't see that happenning often though
what stacks are those
I just remember group usually getting to 10-20% hp
but us just spamming IP keeps me healthy
Aflame, Heal have to dispel it. Shouldn't be your problem most of the time
so when he does the byte on tank we should taunt off each other everytime?
last time when i did it on normal just 2
On 2, can't reset otherwise
you can take more, depending on the gear
saw one DK solotank it too
i was tanking with a dk and he try to take all
wouldn't even let me taunt the boss back
but somehow.. i end up dying
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yah.. this time i want to know why i die and how i can improve
so if i stick with 2 byte4s then taunt in p1.. dodge blaze .. and stand still if i have it... i should be good
its the 2nd byte that i need to reflect right?
can probably reflect both if you preshot it a little bit for the first one
shouldn't be necessary, but it helps
ok thanks.. hopefuly i live long
can also spell block 2 of them, shield wall one ect
if you already went to P3, you're doing something right
you can remove the fear for pain and gain, rest is whatever
There's a streamer called woottodoo or something that solo tanks it and helps viewers kill HC fyrakk
He's got like 75 kills already
That man just does fyrakk pugs all day
I did HC denathrius and razsageth with him the first time I killed them
He's good at leading
That’s M+ spec
You wanna be primarily st in raid
u didnt read anything i sent u cool
One can make the argument that stuns are still good for P2
Could but meh, don’t really need it with roughly 20 other people there
yeah, could be helpful, not necessary in hc
Do you actually need shockwave and ravager for raid?
u need ravage for all content
shokwave probably not, ravager yes
thats not the talent build i gave him the other day
Swap it for the other roar talent
Ah ok
That looks like m+ talents
Intim roar
Shockwave
it is
i linked him 2 talent set told which was which
but he obviosuly didnt read the message
I checked pins
Raid build has like no cc talents
Imagine
Stormbolt, shockwave, intim shout, wtf you need all these tools for, when you could just increase throughput
This
Would titanesqu throw + improved throw instead of best served cold and sidearm be a good choice ?
I don’t think it is a big loss in dps as you can hit a maximum of 6 targets with titanesqu throw and as you won’t struggle to take aggro even with strong dh or other burst classes you can apply your rotation quicker
I tested in everbloom and it seemed to be really good
With the new tier, that's something that I think is a good question.
Revenge is about 2.62% of my dps on a random log
That'll be a dps loss, but maybe an acceptable one for some contents
improved is probably unnecessary for the purposes of threat but titanic can be worth taking
you can drop pain and gain or bounding stride for it
I meant swapping sidearm for titanic and best served cold (the 10% buff on revenge) for improving throw
Oh, idk if that'd be worth it.
Damage on heroic throw would still be quite low I think, and we inflict deep wounds anyway with other ways
The second one may not be necessary but it may be a good QoL ability while best served cold is not so impactul
I can see that, yes
titanic is a nice threat tool while improved heroic throw is only useful for the moents you arent in melee
Usual question, is QoL worth what you loose?
I'm having trouble loosing pain and gain for the improved leap already
If it’s a 1% or less dps loss i think it is
I'd tend to agree
Pain and gain is how much hps for you ?
Or instead, what % of your heal
Yeah it is not so low indeed
10% in a random everbloomno that's weird
Yes, 5%, looks better
I used bitter immunity instead of pain and gain before to switch for titanic throw as it is an emergency healing + remove poison, but I didn’t really see a big difference
I still use the rez trinket in case there is really an emergency that would make these 5% healing decisive
Damn signet isn't bad on a 200kdps key
i find titanic throw moderately cursed, at least for keys
likes to tag other groups or even a boss you might not want to
well yes that's why you dont take it
its good maybe in some vacuum that you have mobs out of group and like they are shooting or casting but grouped for dps to hit them? im not a fan of it
Usually you use it in the same time as charge or taunt with a macro, so even if dps have burst they can't take aggro of one of the mobs in engage
If there is really a mob you want to take alone you can do a separate bind for only taunt, that's what i do
But for now I didn't hit a mob i didn't want, if a mob is really close to another pack i taunt it but usually it doesn't happen
Does anyone pick up disrupting shouts for keys?
For example in everbloom i could easily hit a pack whereas there was a pack near it that i didn't want and it didn't pull them, you just target the mob the farest to the undesired pack
bounding stride is a must have
19eb last night titanic throw was acting like old sidewinders, flying off sideways and tagging extra packs
its just nice to have is all, unless you need it for the cdr
Go fast or die
yeah, cuz its like, i don't really talk about keys a whole lot here even thats main retail focus
cuz its, >>> i died>> post logs >> log posted >> didnt sb enough + didnt cast enough X >> yogi bad
its like, yeah,
Hi all, trying to understand why I died twice here.. felt like I just had nothing to combat the damage being taken which was unusual as done this last week with no issues. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YfhTVpcFCHyZPXMN#fight=64&type=deaths
You have to press more buttons.
You didn't use shield wall at all, and you can swap to defensive stand (can't see what stance you are on, as you didn't swap)
Hmm that is strange that I did not use shield wall
I found when jumping away to drop the flower, that is when I had a lot of damage I couldn’t mitigate
Health just dropped running back to boss
i mean you also died from a beam
impending loom
if you get stunned in those you just kinda die
especially after youve gotten the bomb cus you get a debuff where you take extra nature damage
2nd death you also died to impending loom (beam you dodge)
100% avoidable deaths
This one is where the dot screwed me https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YfhTVpcFCHyZPXMN#fight=65&type=deaths&source=21&death=1
Ok so the first one is just down to me being a fucking idiot
yep
for the fight itself you just gotta be aware that you get a debuff after you drop a bomb
where you take increased nature damage for a while
What’s the suggestion for when we have the debuff
Well u have to tank the boss when i have the debuff so u use a defensive
cus that can hit you for like 1 mil damage unmitigated
We rotate 3 tanks, pally and a monk also and they just never die so I look like a yard
thats the thing that will hit the most amount of damage though
Can anyone give me some advice about Xeri'tacs Unhatched Egg - wowhead specifically says no to using this trinket but by the level of absorbs I'm hitting with this trinket in higher tiered M+s, it's a good chunk of mitigated damage. Am I missing something?
well we're not exactly great with magic damage intake
fight is like full on nature damage
just gotta play with more defensives in mind
use def stance if u need
especially when u run out and drop bombs cus u cant hit the boss anyway
3 tanks for nyme? Eh?
We rotate 3 tanks each week

Anyone know how on Warcraft logs I can view a person who hasn’t died with a timeline of damage/healing done on them similar to that of if they had died? Hope that makes sense
Everything on nym is splockable iirc
It's a massive lifesaver when you have to taunt with the debuff
Just start pulling logs for pwar on nym, remember, you can ask for externals as well.
On mythic council is there any time or reason to the bosses movements? Do they move based on people’s locations? HP%? Or is it random
There’s timers
What we’ve tried to do to maximize uptime is pull towards the one that isn’t jumping away next
Hmm ok
so you want this view?
But there’s no way to bait in a general direction that they go?
Yes but the person hasn’t died and can’t see it outside of deaths tab
Nope it's set position iirc
Click the person, then go to the resources tab
The deer I know has a pattern
Anyone on this?
afaik no
and it seems inconsistent
sometimes boss jumps away before first combo
sometimes doesnt
No you're not missing something, it's just we don't usually run defensive trinkets as they tend to be weaker than DPS trinkets
Ah, I get it. It's just such a massive absorb, sitting a good chunk under ignore pain. I've gotten some other trinkets I can replace it with.
go do more damage
It's about 450k per minute at max ilvl iirc
Which is 7500hps, it also triggers after you take damage
Which means it's not very likely to go off in a situation that would keep you from dying
It's just not very good, something can look good on paper (see bsv) but in effective function be considerably worse
I have a replacement lined up anyways. Drops my health down a bit and I managed to get an upgraded version with avoidannce on it but it's alright. I just needed to know WHY. I get Wowhead saying No but not explaining themselves was frustrating.
Oh yeah it's also a Stam trinket
Which makes it completely garbage for survival
Str or any secondary is an order of magnitude stronger for ehp
I managed to get a heroic butcher's block, that'll have to do for now until I can get a better drop.
We're a mitigation tank, our hp pool is mostly irrelevant
I don't think any of the tanks are Stam stackers... maybe BRM?
But agi is still way better for them
APB hot-take Inc 
why am i seeing the words 'health' 'stamina' 'absorb' in the year effectively 2024 🤔
That's a much better trinkets
Because some people just came fresh from wotlk classic
asking questions like its 2004.. O_O
Seething was more funny 
We need a "classic brain" emoji
2008
Dang we are ild, huh
yea i was going with the 2023 to 2013 situatuion but yuea
i changed it all up
its now 2004
If I didn't ask and the information wasn't available like it was in this case, I wouldn't have been able to correct the mistake.
I pull 140k DPS in dstance
yeah.
What u gonna do about it
could be doing more
And take more dam, nah nah
Do 7% more
Less damage, they're dead 7% faster
I rather just be safe watching YouTube while farmin m+
Try playing more in battle stance to do more damage switch to defensive stance when u taking a lot of dam
I mean, just as a point of reference, most of the trinkets have good explanations as to WHY they're good. This had no reason for why it sucked.
yeah the explanation is pretty awful cannot deny that
should of actually given a real explanation
Switch to defensive when you have to Solo the last 8% of giganticass in EB because DPS don't kill the tree before genesis
I think there is a misnomer of tanks survive ability vs damage output not sure what the balance is. Do you wanna do 300k and die all the time? haha
No. We use crit vers to get more heals
Just don't die 
the stance situation is the final hallmark of what separates the simple prot warrior from the god tier prot warrior. The greatest prots know when and when not to be in each stance
Yeah he's being a snartass there, basically that item was for an era before all tanks became linked to their primary stat
Always sim trinkets, I have trinkets that are 30ilevels higher than the one I have and if I sim it its a huge dps loss
Have fun dropping aggro to edgebois
I don't lose threat, I push buttons
even someone like myself that despises the current stance situation, it is undeniable that it is the defining trait of a truly good prot warr to express their skill currently
I like it, as it is a situation to get a minor benefit or play it safe. So it is pure skill expression 
Yeah ngl I do enjoy the comfort of that extra mit
Combined with the new tierset feeling pretty unkillable
12-16% extra dr while slapping for big damage, it's a keeper
Fervid bite is doing work
This tiers council fight is very meh
All I want to do is cleave and they just leap everywhere
Doing ducks is the worst too
I’ll probably be bench riding next week since I asked a question that was a “heroic mechanic” witch “looks bad”

Bro what? If you're researching the content and ask about a fight for a mechanic regardless I wouldn't sit you
Especially if it's H vs N
I was thinking to myself like HUH in heroic I just pop duck instantly so I can zug zug
Obviously, 30s summary should make you an expert
I’m not worried about the duck duration lmao
Between the first six, council won't be the problem. It'll most likely be Nymue
I’ll admit it seemed like a total shit show the first half of the night but once everyone started figuring out what to do when ducked we started getting close to kill
Bro mobile boss lmao
Nymue so much raid damage
Lets wipe 10 times because ppl are to scared to ask a question about a mechanic so wipes dont happen
Yeah exactly
I asked the GM straight up yesterday.
“GM, did me asking a question to clarify for the group make me look bad” the response was “it’s not a good look but I appreciate you asking because we all know theirs at least 4 other people with the same question who are too scared to ask”
time to change guild
I know right like we’re a late tier CE guild pardon me for clarifying shit on week 3
How could you
Raid lead is pretty cool though I like him
My guild is still doing normal runs every week so we're losing 25% of our 4 hours to that
Not that I'm too upset, people passing on normal loot let me finally get 4p
Have the loot gods been good to you?
wait is that the guild that gave the mythic shield to a healer when you have an active prot warr tankin
Don’t hate on my boy though he’s giga chad Prot tank too I’m washed this tier
Honestly soaks is Huge, having multiple do it is for the best
No no I got you
Ok cool lol
Same page
they did him dirty ngl
Also, I would never belittle a raider for asking a question like that. Why are they blasting you bro
Toxicccccc
I was blowing up the loot council DMs for my boy but it fell on deaf ears
yeah when I raid lead, even as I do with an iron fist, I still want people to ask questions
I am raid lead for my group and I don't do that shit, it's disrespectful
It’s not as bad as it sounds just a little jab at the end of the night before the guy got offline
Also having accountability is huge. I fucked up on the bear one time trying to get him back and he aoe cleaved like 2 dps. I admit my mistakes
Support the homies, don't break em down.
Rezan is dope. I had a heroic in my vault this week on my dk. I had bad luck with tier and had shoulders in vault on normal. I still took the rezans
Ended up 4 set anyway with one omnitoken, 2k and second catalyst
been trying to get a rezans for a bit now havent seen it once
Def worth for ST situations
It's great, I have it on prot warrior and bdk
19 runs so far
🙌
You'll get it, don't forget it doesn't drop for prot tho
Next run you get it
Easy thing to miss, so just be in arms loot spec. Also, helps if you have other people that play with you that can trade
dang
I think the longest chase item I had was during s1 trying to get that ring from Nighthold
I actually wasn’t even farming rezans we just ran a guildies 21 to see what 23 we could roll
It was like 22 or something
Holy mog
Sick hat bro
I saw the new 1h axe. The blue one. Pretty sick too
Nothing matches a furrypera
u got vulperophobia
do i spend 500 on the scarlet trappings just for the shield.. hmm
Ya I’m looking for a wreath type one
does this work
Mistletoe?
That’s solid
best i can find so far...
No way in hell i will be kissing under that mistletoe
thats the goodbye after raid:
I am a: must the this tall to ride person and vulperas arent
i m tall where it counts
Listen, I always tuck the bois into bed at night and read them a story
homies gotta get a good nights sleep!
Pretty sure Mwahi beats us up if we escalate into its not gae if statements


gonna get that fox mount so ill be a fox on a fox
yes
Like my pandaren shaman wear the bear headpiece while riding the blizzard bear
it sucks
Jealous
Half the weapons are missing lol
I'm technically working but since everything I do is client facing
I sorta get the 2 weeks around Christmas and New year's off
Because I'll legitimately have nothing to do
yeah no idea where half the stuff is
Mount is missing as well
dunno if i want to spend 500 for that scarlet ensemble..
the shield only thing i would perhaps use
Half of everything is missing. Every weapon apart from the hammers. The cloak and so on
Maybe data mining was wrong
They did
You can't trust Blizzard
https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/world-of-warcraft/24033715/make-merry-at-the-december-trading-post its the official website
you spend yours every month? i have like 4k
i also have like 3k lol
But blizz is to dumb for math in diablo. Probably to dumb for some traders shit aswell
Speeeend it $$$$
Let's be real, the warrior set for November is super annoying to build around
500 though lol
so what?
dont
the warrior set is one of my worst purchases yet tbh lmao
that thing suk ass
and the weapons too
Also very little works with it
Yo what???
I got it and like, what am I supposed to do with this
the horn goes through the shoulders lol
The November set you think is bad??
Same for my DK set. I wanted it now i hate it
i should of refunded it
lul no full set broke ass bitch
I can’t buy T3 gotta save my milli for the axe
Just spend 130€ and buy it

Tier 3 is overrated
Looks like DK set besides shoulder and helm
TAKE THAT BACK
the blade masters azure stones are actually cool
Yall see the anal neck beads in the TP this month
ya i bought them
Yeah, where's our f**king blademaster banner
Talk about wasting money
The dream
I miss 2h tanking as a warrior
Glad 
No
Glad is the cause of the largest prot nerf in the history of wow
Most fun I've ever had playing DPS was as prot warrior
Glad was so shit and i still played it in highmaul lmao
Yeah because it shit on arms and fury first tier
Just buff prot damage
DK tier 8?
It didnt. Arms was way ahead. Thats why i had to play arms for butcher because me doing 6k instead of 9k didnt hit the dps chck
Warrior t8
Ulduar
Do any of us know what t8 is?
head with horns?
And even that's wrong
Literally half the plate tiers have horns bruh
And the horns are wrong too
T3 shoulder face is bobbys face when they found the flightbook to epsteins island
We can agree that Sepulcher was one of the worst tier sets
I think its disengenius to say that they look nothing alike... they are quite similar in color scheme, tone, and general appearance
but one is better
and the other.... overrated
Math doesn't check out
T8 is deadmines
That makes more sense
I think Augusto needs a break from #protection for being SO UNBELIEVABLY WRONG
^
Crit did a arms key with 1h/shield
Hey now, everyone has a right to their own opinion
Surely Prot can do 2h key
Even if it's the wrong opinion
T3 aint even better then the remake


I actually did a +7 for aguildie with a 2h in my MH for half the key because I didn't update my equipment set
Didn't notice because TC and SS still work
Nathria went hard
Yeah, wonderful set. Also mythic set of Antorus as a fucking space marine is Hella dope
Ive always been a bigger fan of the Onslaught set; the OG from BC and the remake in legion
Yeah nathria set one of my favorites, the neck guard bit on the chest complements so many sets
Ok I'll forgive you being wrong earlier, spikes set is indeed goated
I have all these mogs and still use the same ones. Upset that I can't use my 1h warlord sword from vanilla that's sitting in my bank.
The PvP coloration in tbc was my favorite
And what I used to tank most of hyjal and bt because the t6 set gave you too much dodge/parry
Just run rbgs
That pre raid bis
That literally could be my warrior in early 2007
Tbc progression, grind dungeons and Daily's for rep, hit those heroics to exalted, get vendor epics and socketed blues
Get karazhan key hit up gruuls for SSC access, run a bunch more heroics, do Magtheridon, get Tempest key
I have fond memories, but having to re attune every new member, never again
fox on fox action
I do enjoy the bug t4 set
I dont like the phrasing one bit
But right now i have human on dragon action
XD
Okay, iceborne was great
I've been playing MH since it came out in 2004 and Iceborne has been the best it's ever been
110% Friend and me finished rise. Went back to Iceborne last week and we are having a blast
Also, guiding lands was way better of an endgame grind than the beefed up monsters ngl
I hate afflicted monsters with a passion
Yeah, afflicted is gamba
Grinding lands are fun. Go in. Kill some shit leave
Will take some time for me/us to reach grinding lands again tho. We are on a new playthrough. Just did the first velkh fight. Now onto seliana defense
I always main DB/SnS. Biggest issue Iceborne had was the clutch claw. Get rid of that and it was great.
That ability that fixed it for breaking parts in mandatory tho
I played DB mostly then LS for Fatalis. Now i play SnS and its super simple but fun
SnS has a special clutch that tenderizes in one go but ye clutch claw boost is must have
Ya, the wife and I played a lot of world. Rise we didn't touch anywhere nearly as much
800 hours in world for like 300 in rise
For me its 300 in both but i started super late in world. Pretty sure ill put in 300 more hours now in world tho. Its just the superior game to me
Use the red one
“Auto bots, ROLLOUT!”
I will Never use that set
quick question for a warrior that just started tanking yesterday as OS specc
is it hard to hold aggro as prot war? I'm finding it difficult to build initial aggro
it shouldnt be
you charge, slam your CDs and you blast
and, worst case, you got challenging shout
In ST charge shield slam should be enough to snap threat
I'm struggling in MT
If one of the DPS dump all their CDs in the first few seconds they can pull threat. That's a them problem
Then your demo shout into shield charge is giga threat
Especially if they choose to go for a fdifferent tareget to the one you are SHield Slamming
I usually taunt during charge as well if I’m MT
Failing all else, throw Storm Bolt at whatever it is
got it..ill try
Once you drop Ravager almost everything should be on you like glue
I'm usually opening with regular charge, not shield charge
maybe I should change that
I open with regular charge instantly followed by Shield Charge. Because SC has no minimum range
yea, you want to normal charge, get demo on targets, then SC
No you want to regular charge
for the sweet 20% damage buff
You want to shield charge right after Demo shout
Oh duh Augusto I typed my reply before reading yours

ravager -> demo -> roar -> sc
if you got a fervid proc, you want to use it before SC and after roar

Not foorgetting to press Shield Block, Shield Wall, Avatar and Ingore Pain off GCD while doing all of the above
There's a reason this is known as a carpal tunnel spec xD
have 4 set
yo after 2 season i back on warr and have many question 😛 i did +20 today with 430 gear and P warr is so biiiiiiiiiig bro
i have big problem in tott with that bleed dogs
as does everyone else
spell block work ?
kiting works
you can kite or you can die
really your only two options for doggies
😭
change race to Dowrf
take evoker healer
or any paladin or any evoker
paladin ?
bop
Dwarves are very cool
spending rage make my next slam with a bleed ? with 40 % of my all damage ?
rly cant underestand it
100%
the dogs got nerfed and a lot more manageable now but your ilvl at 430 u should feel stronger when you get higher ilvl
even still, pack is a clusterfuck best kited
yeah true on fort a lot more harmful
why blizzard makes low impact pulls with intentionally unhealable dots I dunno
i feel like his 430 ilvl is low for a 20
yep
but rly
didnt have any problem
im playing all tanks and im tank main
but warrior with 430 i lvl i was rly surprised
its a Big tank bro
yes
just inspected a guy with 4 piece still using bolster for some reason
they probably think making a pull a kite pull is fun and quirky
i just want to face smash man
make me use a cooldown sure bute kiting 😡 me wanna smash shield
tank lives dont matter
time and time again do you have absolutely obscene singular abilities on mobs that just dont get touched at all
not if it exclusively affects tank
i bet theyll never fix the green rays from the bats appearing 10% of the time
first time i did the boss i thought "werent bat vomit angle more obvious before?"
then i got a green line on my 4th run once
the never again
be free from bolster prison, embrace bloodborne like the meme dps you were meant to be
forsake shockwave as well, become one with truly transcendant non-utility and take 30s troar cdr
augury or other one tank trinket ?
Hey im gona start playing prot war for first time ive read guides but i was wondering if you can give me some pointers!
I feel like it's 100% intentionally done to "test a tank's overall skillset" or some jazz in order to try and spice up the gameplay or something
There are very few circumstances where sending things on cd isn't the right answer.
Keep shield block up, generate rage > spending rage, don't overcap rage
If you have a dps button available and the pack isn't going to die in the next 5 seconds, press it, your whole rage economy and class flow depends on this.
do you often overlap ur defensive cds like last stand and shield wall?
pure defensive buttons like these you can situationally hold, usually going into a multipull that will require some movement or suboptimal gcd use to get things aggrod and grouped
okay thank you for the tips il give it a go 😄
also where can i find good routes to follow?
most dungeons are very 'hold w'
Overlapping defensives are generally only done when you absolute 100% know for a fact you'll need to, as each defensive on top of each other gets lesser value.
The other time to overlap is when it'll be back off CD by the time you need it again anyway, most commonly seen with spell reflect
Also, some of our defensives are used offensively, so will generally ignore this point and just be rotational
okay
Also one of the Biggest pain points for me was the magic damage at Murozonds rise but that was during s2, it has gotten nerfed and is much better now
do i play around my 4set somehow or just play like normal
4-set if starting out, just ignore; it pretty much rewards you for playing properly
You can optimize uses of it slightly by timing uses of IP, but it's not major enough to fuss over if you're new imo
As compared to just getting the basic flow of the class setup and running
yes that sound good apreciate all the help!
pressing a whole lot of IP and tclap
unless you mean T30 2p/4p
t31
that requires an actual different talent setup
Yeah, T31 you can think of for the moment as just rewarding you for playing properly,
the goal of the set is to consume as much rend/deep wounds as possible
Since you'd SS when available and TC after baseline, anyhow
and this is the basic m+ build right?
Bolster on the right side of the prot tree is no longer the play
bolster not necessary anymore
I'd swap the Pain and Gain point into Bounding Stride for M+, as well as Bolster is no longer used; ITF should be HR unless you've got bungo amounts of haste
can u send me a talent code?

oh mb xD
you'll want spell block on everbloom, rise, and tott
All general builds are kept up to date by Nome in the pins
which point do i take away for spell block?
Dude, I unironically have dropped shockwave from a few dungeons lmao but so many dps dont have stops and crap. then again havoc brings and aoe stun i have noticed
Bounding Stride is of note because it can let you bypass some defensive mechanics entirely by outranging them
Bolster
And Into The Fray should be Heavy Rep unless you've got a lotta haste
As in like 5.2k haste rating
it's such a massive dps loss to take shockwave with t31
giga feelsbad
@terse spoke if you’re in low keys disrupting shout is pretty good. It taunts and interrupts everything around you.
they need to move shockwave in the warrior tree
put it higher up
make it baseline 😄
oh okay, so then i take a point from bloodborne?
and then put ancient afterschock there
is bloodborne my play point?
Base(d)line
for spell block and disrupting
@terse spoke I take it from battering ram, the shield charge on the right side.

wat
I said what I said
fr but it's basically our only good utility which makes it feel a little inting to not take
but my dps
Battering ram is like 20% auto atk damage and some crit dmg on shield charge.
You shouldn't be looking at bloodborne at all unless you're doing trivial content
I’d rather AOE Interrupt
that is the build in pins
It's not a particular major DPS increase in comparison to the survival loss, even if it's better than it has been due to current tier
to me its just in a awkward spot; the other tree choices on that row are all dps options
and then shockwave is there like the odd step child
that is, in fact, the build for trivial keys
it's 20% autoattack speed, which is huge amount of rage
You're looking for the push build baseline
And change points from there
I’m doing 20-23s right now and rage is never a problem
oh okay i took the weekly
attack speed is more ss resets
Yeah, the weekly key build is meant for doing keys at a level that are relatively trivial to your skill level, eg just hitting them for the weekly
and more rage is always more better
oh xD
yeah I want shockwave baselined, knock up instead of stun so it's in a less crowded dr category, put rumbling earth where shockwave talent is now
and if i want disrupting with push build i take away what?
warrior needs it badly
That's at a different point for every player, though the general assumption for most people who come here is that level will eventually be 20s, since most people who decide to actually dig deep into performance as a tank spec will go harder than most
you wont run into scenarios where rage is a "problem" but more is always better
what should i do for emblshment and item craft ? make a hast leg ? and a shadowflame ?
or 2 shadowflame ?
You can only really give up either Bloodsurge or swap TL over, but neither are particularly optimal for a talent point that's usually quite minor.
It's like spending a talent point on a 2nd pummel on a 1.5 min CD
Our spec tree is really good, so it's very difficult to move points around just because some talents are so good
IMO Avatar is in the wrong place. It should be centrally located in the 8+ section, similar to where Paladin has it's major cooldown
The class tree has a bit more freedom, though the bottom third is very packed
bloodborne is honestly only a little bit of a meme, in places where you don't need spell block it's a worth option that does a lot of damage
We basically have no choices in the final section of the class tree because Avatar is mandatory, our Tier set works on Thunderous Roar, and we have to have the weapon talent
if you dont need spell block which is better though 1 point in bloodborne or 1 point in bloodsurge
bloodsurge in general in m+
bloodsurge is 7-12% rage gen
Bring back banner
banner would be cool if it gave you your faction/race banner!
any specefic dungeon for spell block ?
like imagine playing a dwarf and you pop banner and you see the Hammer!
or a Orc with the OG Horde symbol
I want my guild symbol on banner
Almost all except AD and... Waycrest, probably? iirc
Even in those dungeons, you can still get use out of it
^ this could be us with banner
So I just kinda keep it on at all times because I cannot be bothered to swap it off on keys relevant to my skill level
ALSO let intervene redirect spells so you can intervene reflect stuff, which would be actual warrior specific utility
that to! all about options!
would look amazing!
even for just silly RP stuff
Pop banner and it displays whatever tabard you're wearing
Original intervene let you do that
Skull banner
do all the options above as glyphs ez
Or you mean the original crap in sland
yeah
they won't give skull banner back
conq banner
banner feels bad with low haste imo, its just not satisfying for keys when you have a bad group and they have to stop in between every pull to res some random dps that died to spitefull and banner falls off, but when you can get a minute duration its giga fun
idc what the banner does at this stage; all I want is for my character to be able to use a ability that pulls out a banner
cause it would look cool and thematic
what it should do from a tuning perspective is a whole other topic for me
but I do think it should give a party buff of somesort while its out
like, come on, your boi just pulled out a flag! Get hyped!
yeh I just want it back then
kinda wild how many iterations of possible new utility they worked on during df beta for us only to give us nothing
I want a tier set that works with rally, like 2 set is offensive then 4 set is rally cdr reduce or buff increase but blizz will never do that cause it makes warriors too valuable in raid
I want a tier set where I can sacrifice the lowest dps in my raid to improve morale
I just don't understand Blizzard being okay with the utter derth of utility warrior has. Ppala can bres, sac, bop, bosw, freedom, cleanse, lay and wog offhealing, and infinity kicks while being just as tanked as warrior and doing just as much dps as warrior. And pwar has... rally and spell reflect.
"but but but spell reflect most broken ability" or something like that
I mean, thats been a thing since like classic
Paladins brought so much util and warriors didnt
at least we're not as bad as demon hunters
I want our WOD safeguard (I can't remember if this was the actual name)
It was a nice bit of utility
The 15% DR on a target
I did like the conduit in SL that let you intervene someone and give them DR
that was cool
hey guys... so I know PWar has like a huge amount of APM, but I feel like I am almost constantly raged capped this season. Is the play currently to just macro IP to stuff and constantly spam it?
Additionally, i dont sget how spell block works fully... it works on ly on targetable spells and not targetted aoes?
you are going to have lots of rage; gotta spend it quick, though I wouldnt macro IP to abilities. IP is off the GCD! for questions about spell block and spell reflect, check the excel spreadsheet in the pins to see where it works
when it's good it's great, but 99% of the time it's just a rotational magic dr we need to be on even footing, the actual utility use cases are far too few
Yeah I actually think it was called vanguard, I can't remember but we abused the crap out of it in mythic BRF
I was fury then (and then resto shaman)
thanks just checking it out rn
Being a healer in that tier when I had a druid and disc as my Co healers though 
I'd only orange parse when one of them died
oooh new tendies stuff
trading post is trash this month
Going to be rocking that hammer
safeguard is definitely #1 on my list of ways to improve warrior utility
and make fun gameplay
The helmet is gas doe
and uncapping intimidating shout, because 1 time it messing up is enough
this tendies event is now good
it has a good shield model
this is like fucking exactly what i want out of a shield
LOL I thought it was a pair of spread legs scared the shit outta me
Crotchguard
precisley exactly his so fucking much
just a big metal thing with leather around it kinda battle worn weather worn
LOL i see what u mean now
i want this offhand for my healers that use offhands, like priest mostly
Protect an ally for 12 sec, reducing damage they take by 30% and allowing you to use Taunt with no cooldown. In the Uncategorized Spells category.
Give me that plz
Was just a pain suppression that warriors could use
didnt vigilance used to be like a long buff
in like wrath like a few minutes or more
Yes
In wotlk it gave you 10% of your targets threat and reset taunt if they get attacked
thats how i remember it being used was never used on me they only talked about, oh, we have to have this warrior because he has vigilance so he goes in X group
some crap like that
the 4 sets in cata was applying your defensive at 50% effect to the group or something
which was broken
You use it on your other tank 
No plz
yeah thats bad, i want an external cooldown i can use on one person who is dumb and/or a hunter
They literally gave us that in DF beta and we begged it to be removed
safeguard is thematically also very protwarrior so on lore alone they should just add it
When you have a talent like that they tend to balance you around it
But yeah safeguard makes sense
As does vigilance
But group swall noooo
lemme have shockwave without inting damage and make intervene into something useful and I'll call it good
my m+ group just sees me as a budget dh without silence sigil
true we're basically dh without two 10 second aoe silences or 4 aoe stops
well, they are wrong lol
the way this meta is shaking out i'm not so sure it's that wrong. We just lack aoe stops comparatively
there are many ways you could get another aoe stop with the current tree. losing thunderlord is lame tho
disrupting shout is a fake stop that only works on casts that can be interrupted and only if they're interrupted
Big IQ idea, make disrupting baseline part of challenging and put cdr attached to thunderclap for challenging
what if we change its name to "mini knock up shout" ??????
hire me blizz
its like scooby doo where we roar and theyd get scared and jump up. very class fantasy
disrupting shout is in every conceivable way a worse silence sigil that has a higher opportunity cost to take, intimidating shout is in every conceivable way a worse misery sigil that has a higher opporunity cost to take, shockwave is a worse aoe chaos nova with a massively higher opporunity cost to take.
Give me back roars knockdown
i can get the 1 hand axe in wm if i spec fury right? im targeting the haste versa ring
and the opportunity cost is I think the most egregious part of the equation as it exists because despite the derth of utility, we're only middle of the road for dps
and we have to dip into more dps than others to get what meagre utility is available
we bring somethin a vdh dont
personally if it wasnt this itd be bdk or paladin something
maybe rogue
maybe shaman
yes you definitely can get 1h weapon in fury loot spec yes
can always check what drops for what specs in the dungeon journal as well
crit is usually slightly more dps in sims, but in m+ your dtps is generally way higher than a sim so probably slightly lower/same as vers in practice
I generally lean toward vers its just so stable
I always vers in keys
