guys help me choosing between augury 483 | rezan 483 | gnarlroot stick 489

frosty mango
#

what is reasonable average dps for prot for overall - i fluctuate depending on the key but I never see pug tanks output reasonable dps so I have no idea
mostly I just play fury but I end most keys as prot around 150-180

#

20-24 level

pallid olive
#

Varies pretty widely based on dungeon (everbloom vs rise will@be very different) and Aug/no Aug

frosty mango
#

Avg like 150 no Aug in something like atal

#

Everbloom is usually around 190 and something like tott with no Aug is like 160-170 if you don’t count the last boss

#

Gettin carried by my augury I think

restive scroll
#

Also depends on pulls, active time and so many things.
If you want you can check logs of a players to get an idea.
You can look for mine if you want, i log everything.

I have a signet brand and I do a lot more if I chain with that but healers get grumpy lol

tribal wharf
#

3rd diablo2 character in hell now

quaint fossil
#

Do people use thunderbolt or shockwave at all?

#

As part of the rotation at least on CD?

tribal wharf
#

does lower dmg and valuable aoe stun, so definitely not on st, shockwave probably doesnt hurt, but stun DR cc dr

#

first full value second half third 1/4 beyond no effect

quaint fossil
#

New to prot tanking, other than cc value, not too detrimental of not using them then?

frosty mango
#

Shockwave is high value for both prot and fury

#

Less so this week with sanguine but it’s a lot of utility

vocal nimbus
#

stuns are utility

#

not dmg buttons

quaint fossil
#

Ok and thunderbolt is out of the rotation?

They are both not in the rotation

yo guys have you heard of signet?

#

its kinda good in keys

toxic pewter

U think next season we gonna run signet and anvil

anvil is pure ST

teal swift
urban portal

isnt the 10.0 parry trinket really good

toxic pewter
#

Totem of the all master also good but I think signet and anvil better

#

May unironically see people run beacon and grieftorch I bet lol

urban portal
#

i dont see anvil being good

#

but its like, if you are chain pulling with signet

#

may as well run anvil

#

Can I still get the legendary in prot loot spec?

blazing stump
#

So I've been tanking 15-20s, looking for highest damage output, is fyrakk crit trinket better than cataclysmic signet? pairing it with fyrakk rageheart.

lethal plaza
#

Nice. loot spec doesn't change what raid bosses drop does it?

blazing stump
#

Legendary can drop from LFR even, just higher chances on higher difficulty.

Just drops from Fyrakk.

#

So does the upcoming patch in a bit over a week mean this season is half over?

vague merlin
#

A third over. Depending on how long individual patches will be. Cause this is the end of 10.2.0 and the start of 10.2.5, but there's 10.2.6 after that

#

but 10.2.0 was a bit longer than usual (10 weeks instead of 8 weeks), probably due to Christmas season, so might be a bit more than just a third

#

oh, actually 10.1.0 was also 10 weeks
well point is 10.1 to 10.2 was a span of 27 weeks

was abit curious about something. As prot warrior we can take many stacks on WCM boss right with ease. Then in BRH on smashspite, the charge is also physical . But it wrecked me when i try take 2 even with shield wall. While my monk friend can take many Hatefull charge, but he need clear stacks early in WCM. Then im wondering if u guys take DHT 1st Boss Primal ramppage to the face? to keep him in nice position, cause its also physical right.

U stand on the wall

Our main mitigation relies on blocking, monks main mitigation relies on picking their ass

(it's always active and works vs everything)

strong forum
#

As ikari said, smashspite charge isn't blockable. But it's dodgable so monk can basically solo every charge cuz they can guarantee a dodge

The timer on hateful charge is also lenient so there’s no need for it

Why is protection not favored in keys compared to protpal/vdh? Is it purely damage or does stops matter that much? (We do have a couple though?)

blazing condor
#

arguably other classes can bring more to a group in terms of off-healing/other utility, but in the end its mostly just that the perception of pwarr is bad

#

unpopular tank

grim pilot
#

every tank has something (brez, being giga busted like vdh, offheals/utility like ppal/guardian and whatnot), pwar is either busted or meh because you dont really bring anything outside of some decent stops and dam

#

which is kinda like vdh except again, vdh is busted

steel stream
#

With T31, do you still only IP to prevent overcap/tank up or does it mix up priority with revenge?

opaque oriole
#

So the only thing vdh has over protwar is damage?

grim pilot

they're busted all the way

#

they're unkillable

What about pwar this season?

saw a video of yoda stunned for 3 seconds on +30 fortified bolstering with 10 mobs and his hp bar didnt even move

Unless you're doing like a 26+ tyr then I guess one reset is okay

median tulip
#

Fundamentally, if the wickerman gets high enough stacks to kill you then the problem is your DPS are bad and aren't killing it fast enough.

winter shard
#

At what stack is it actually considered worth resetting?

strong forum
#

~30-33

#

Is what most groups do in high keys

#

Every 3 thorns

#

Aka once every minute

#

If you're giga gaming you maybe delay it 1 more spike

But 3 is the average

warm plinth
# winter shard At what stack is it actually considered worth resetting?

To expand on what Nome said, it also depends on how long is left in the fight/how many stacks you can handle. If you can't stay alive through the entire boss, you reset around 30-33 (after third thorn) so the healer can actually heal through the fire. Then after that, you can again gauge whether you can live enough stacks to finish or if you need a second reset (again around 30-33 stacks after a thorns)

#

I've looked at a couple of the higher tyr logs and they tend to reset around that mark, but there's not a lot of prot war logs that high; I assume prot probably only has to reset once though and just coast the rest of the fight

Yall think I’m f’d out of getting CE this tier? Given the tragic state of…something like only 70 guilds have downed fyrakk….season could end as soon as end of march (beginning of spring). We’re likely downing M Smolderon Tuesday night. We got CE last tier, roughly US 500. I’ve heard a lots ppl referencing this feels like sanctum…I don’t think guilds much past like US 400 got CE that tier

Honestly annoyed fated is coming so soon, does anyone even want fated ..

I don't understand why Bliz is ending the season so "early" too (early = before enough peopole have cleared the tier). Is "Mythic" actually meant to be "Professional" teams only, now?

not being able to impending victory is often the difference between life and death and it's a toss up whether or not he picks you up wrong.

it happens like 50/50 for me on crushing grips. idk wtf the deal is.

so it's prob a completely unrelated bug

well might be something to do with height not like radius 🤷

its the circle around that was standardized

but taurens for instance can still get stuck in doors

Pretty sure they fixed the hitboxes in cata when they changed your position to also read while jumping

I barely notice WoW animations, to be completely honest. They're so minor compared to the flashy bits I get from fighting games that I get absolutely no rush from them

Not getting invited to keys anyways as warrior.

At least when I was signing up for keys, I wasn't given really shit reasons this xpac so far

blazing condor

And the keys i require for score actually require brain cells.

pallid quiver

Y'know, I'm not even surprised that got caught by automod since I quoted a player. Anyhow:
i won't forget in SL S4 when i was actually told that warriors can't tank +2s and i was an idiot for applying as prot

blazing condor
#

not false

#

ive had pretty good luck with my own key pushings

#

at least compared to the premades i usually play with

but ive only pugged 25s at max

ionic fern

I've tried pugging my 27 DHT.

Down to a 24 DHT now i think.

Hey guys, so in TWW my guild will take a more serious approach to raiding and start progressing Heroic, so I need to prepare. Could you guys basically write down the entire rotation, for every single situation, now before the expansion comes out? I am a very serious player, and most definitely a min/maxer, so I need to know! Do we use Execute when the guy gets below 35% or what? Is it worth it? I am also a hardcore transmogger, so please tell me which racial is the best for prot? Oh and by the way, vers or haste in tww? xD or is it too soon to say

blazing condor
#

do it seramore

pale yarrow

Don't take my words for granted, but:

  1. A full guide for every situation would be undoable.
  2. Wowhead is a good source for guides, also rotation
  3. Try to find gameplay vids of your class/spec
  4. By the time TWW drops, things may be completely different in your spec

AI upscaling concern I guess is related to it being just one step away from just letting the AI create alternative images based on a human persons art, making follow up work unnecessary

You can make a base image, ai fleshes it out, and then you need a human to "fix" the issues

That could be the new industry … but you know companies will try to short cut it

And just let the AI do all

Hello I have a question about sim, if I do patchwerk 5 targets 1min30, am i supposed to do the same dps as the sim on fluffy pillows ? I get 235k while sim tells me 250k

But some abilities/trinkets don’t do the same damage as me, they have their revenge way higher than me (I used it 15 times and sim used it 22 times)

Also for outburst, should I use it thunder clap when there are 5 targets or still shield slam ? I did it with shield slam every time but i don’t know

lusty grotto
#

you will never do the same dps as a sim

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

what are fluffy pillows though

uneven mason
uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

oh

ashen coral
lusty grotto
#

the training dummies

ashen coral
#

Yes thank you

#

So if I want to know if I do my rotation correctly, I should be close to like 95% of the shown dps ? 90% ?

lusty grotto
#

i dont think a sim breakdown is the place to compare to

lusty grotto
#

theres enough variance

#

SS procs for example

#

you mentioned revenge

jagged pier
#

it never is sim literally just gives u info on whats best its never anything to compare to

lusty grotto
#

and im assuming the sim is only using it depending on SS procs

ashen coral
#

And if i do a sim of 9 minuts and do a 9 minute test for me, would it remove variance ?

lusty grotto
#

no

uneven mason
#

Keep in mind the sim probably has all raidbuffs, a lust phase and execute phase

lusty grotto
#

SS procs

#

if you want to know if youre doing your priority correctly the best resource is to post a log and ask us to review it

ashen coral
lusty grotto
#

i dont think the sim gets to execute range

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

at 1.5 mins

uneven mason
#

Oh 1.5m nah

#

So that's fine

lusty grotto
#

keep in mind

#

the APl is made by people here

#

so instead of looking at the sim, ask us with a log

lusty grotto
#

more specifically, Nome is the one maintaining it iirc

uneven mason
#

It's like what, 3pm there, he's fine to ping

lusty grotto
#

so the sim is not the end-all-be-all of your priority since its rules are played out by the APL designed by mods and admins from this discord

uneven mason
#

Don't be like certain people and ping Nom at 3am

lusty grotto

Believe it or not the highest fps in our guild is a guy with a 5800x3d +7900xtx running Linux OS

He gets about 50fps when roots spawn

#

On mythic tindral

#

He’s shown us screenshots

opaque quest
#

Im browsing reddit rn to find some more evidence but all i can find is ppl complaining about raid fps

dusky canopy
#

It’s literally nameplates

#

Nameplates cause like 50% of fps problems

#

Because the game is trying to load auras on friendly and enemy nameplates all at once and it can’t handle it

opaque quest
#

Apparently also lots of problems with FSR and 10.2 in general

dusky canopy
#

Yes do not use scaling right now if you have been

#

I was actually testing it last night

uneven mason
#

No reason to use scaling

opaque quest
#

ofc not. Just looking but there is still nobody that gets 144fps in any raid

#

Zero

#

Except Ikari

dusky canopy
#

Standing on valdraken stairs I would set scaling to say 83% and my fps would actually go down from 45 to like 30

Cap is 7100

lusty grotto
#

did my nickname stutter

sick sentinel
#

True rating 7600

dusky canopy
#

You can equip over 7100 but it is stupid to do so because it’s a dps loss

lusty grotto
#

did my nickname stutter????

sick sentinel
#

I'm reading your addon

dusky canopy
#

We have already figured this out

#

If you want to equip 8k haste go for it

#

But it’s a dps loss

#

7100 is the haste cap for dps gain

sick sentinel
#

I was just trolling about 8k, but I'm just reading his addon saying true value 7600 unless meaning 30% over 7100 then yh

#

Makes sense

dusky canopy
#

True value means he has 7600 stat value from haste yes

#

All the same going over 7100 is total waste

sick sentinel
#

Yeah I get it now

dusky canopy
#

I have not partaken in the stat talk in a while but iirc 5400 is a good haste point to be at because you get the rest of the stat from itf+consumes

lusty grotto
#

we dont stop going haste

sick sentinel
#

I just sim, as i said, i was trolling

dusky canopy
#

I mean yeah I meme all the time about 400% haste

Just saying 5400 haste is good for something I just don’t remember exactly
