Get a big fluffy axe
So we can snuggywuggy in keys wuw
Go read some eleceed
It's really really good too btw
what'd Roidstack get banned for btw
who?
fury warrior
how would we know lol
I imagine https://discord.com/channels/148872210742771712/148898695696482305 would know better
why does this keep happening
:xdd:
4 letters, we can't read
I just assumed this was fury because I never click on any of the other channels
I assume if you are posting offtopic too much you will get banned
at the end of the day we must stay on topic
ye prob
It cant be just that
was also wondering why fury warr chat quieted down so much
@strange wedge was he banned yesterday?
I doubt he'd get banned just for posting off topic
like 3 months ago
@waxen frigate do you know why he got banned?
roidstack or w/e
i searched for his msgs and found a lot of Nish instead
I heard he got banned for shitposting and spreading misinformation but like, idk and idc
earlier today I couldn't even see my message after 5s
so many people hating eachother for their choice of tier set
Just don't lie and give people bad information that ruins their character or life
That's like the most important thing
I think it's because he blended chicken
Need help on deciding my vault please. Tried simming but Im too basic to figure it out. I all ready have BIS back. Swap shield or get a socket?
swap shield
Take shield
you cant sim shields
Shield is more damage, more tankiness
myth shield > all
thanks guys
🫡
when should i be swapping specs (and which spec to swap to) to optimise loot drops?
depends on what you need
if you swap to fury after that shield
you can still get 1 handers
but no rageheart
if you still need rageheart, you should probably stay prot
If you havnt, getting yourself a gholak on normal or higher will be bis for you
kk thanks
Now that you have a shield, you're just basically deciding what trinkets you want, so set your loot spec for that accordingly
amazing
You can hunt for a gholak from normal+
Or can even craft a wep and fish for DPS trinkets
Or you can go for cheat death + whatever.
Getting shield is based af
Vil moment
Pog
So just sayin the fact that people are actually voting for the S1 tier set mildly makes me lose faith in the human races ability to continue
it is what it is
Take those drunk fools keys away they cannot be allowed to drive
luckily we NA have got yall covered
freedom

such a great vault
for a socket
ah actually
not a socket, those are shoulders
ok so it could have been worse
pog
Hey prot bros. which tier do you guys want?
K ill throw one point in 3 for ya
cheers
I apparently didn't run any keys last week


Life happens
3rd bust in a row sadeg
guess I can take a myth gorehowl if I decide to play fury for some reason
am i supposed to actually consciously do smth with the tier bonus
cuz i just let it rock tbh
you should make sure that you keep bleeds on the target
thats pretty much it
you dont really need a weakaura to tell you either
just pay attention to plater frames
just press tc when i hear the squishy sound
is the 1h axe from Fyrakk really good?
Effect is worth about 20ilvl
Once you get it on normal, only upgrades are more gholak.
Even lfr is about the power of a heroic raid wep
wow
It's give or take, assume it's like 17-23
But my 463 gholak is about equal to a 483 lol
Of course you should sim yourself.
But yeah gholak is nuts.
press ignore pain a lot
i can give u the artist sec
will dm
pay attention to gaming it with fervid consumes and reapplying rend with tclap resets immediately, then
parry?
parry's listed separately
Nullifies the damage, but doesn't reflect it back
It's just parry
which is presumably why they're wondering about it applying to a physical attack
It wasn't a physical attack
It was hateful charge
It's a spell that uses melee hit tavke
Impacts the first player he comes into contact with, inflicting 123594 Physical damage, knocking them back, and increasing their damage taken from Hateful Charges by 500% for 1 min.
Physical school spell
tree grip in DHT is actually a joke
@steady karma is this correct?
how is that spell the way it is
Yea you shouldn't take more then 1
I suppose that's the sloppy-ass nomenclature we should expect from a 20-year old game
Kinda stings on high Tyrr
Get one of the 4 other people not doing anything to soak 1
If you leap away for breath the tree isn't to bad. Wall every second I believe, demo trink, healer external etc. pool your rage so you can IP
On Tyr weeks I just run Immovable Object and have Shield Wall for all of them
so is it determined by your parry chance?
I have no fucking idea, it's why I pinged the theorycrafter
Ok thanks
yes i was at like 3M+ effective HP and procced
actually ridiculous
on a 25Tyr
i still need to learn a lot of finetuning for these kind of situations
tree boss in DHT
deios in rise
third boss in throne
etc
yazma i managed to learn to a degree i just need to finetune boss movement
second
oh
walk the green shit out b4 it casts. charge back in. yea was going to say
u could LOS behind the tree on second but they fixed it
i jump all breaths and focus cd's on grip alone
it shouldnt slap that much
like on a 25 tyr i was rarely under 50 percent
on a crush
unless im on drugs
ill check log
oh i didnt mean that. im flor pov most of the time.
first season i am pushing seriously since nyalotha
healer might need to focus u more. could be that simple
and he does but he told me that he has to prepare for aoe as well and told me to depend on my cd's a bit more
he is aware he's a 3.5k resto druid
very good
can i prevent to lose too much life from being thrown on another player second boss DHT?
You can leap it if the player that the boss throws you on is far away
Not really. You can heroic leap but youre better off heroic leaping the nightmare breath
but its you have to leap far is what im saying
You just leap
to just even do it to begin with
But you can leap at all if the player is too close to the biss
i mean, diablo 2, beserker, for the first few lvls it has a very short range
im torn if a leap ability should be short range or long range,
When r we playing d2?
D2R is dope
D2R melee community pays well lmao
i wanted to do my tw and look at tree dragon mount
POE pays like chinese slave wage hourly like $0.10 or less lol
D2R if you know what youre doing pays about $50 an hour
i'll do tw boxes
Wdym?
Currency farming for rmt?
kind of, ARPGs are notorious for assessing value
RMT is illegal :sus:
but yeah, D2R pays much better if you know the right people
@teal swift gn
honestly, i just join free loobies
You should join me in some Baal runs
people always dsropping crap in those lobbies and if i have some garbage low lvl yellows or uniques i never use, i drop them
thats my overall goal is to kill hell baal once
im still quite serious about wc1 on bnet
i would be purcahse it like hour 1 it come out
gn sweetie
wc1 wc2 d1
D1R when
hope u have a great day and do some m+
even diablo 1 janky is fine
D1r lol
im gonna play OW2
oh no..
wow feels kinda dead , like no one i wanna playh with on NA
Feels NA man
nope
more like people dont wanna play with them
id assume
NA is very much alive
Bro
Stop being such a jerk???
like idk why you single me out and pick on me
but im getting tired of the harrassment
Its not banter
it happens several times a day
it is carry over from earlier
earlier, they said the family who are bigoted and hate me becuse im LGBT, actually hate me because im a weeb
idk
its digusting
then stop complaining

everyone on during it knows what i was talking about
its about spamming these garbage gifs
where are u moving in
You're invited to canada L O L
:xdd:
if you have a cat, we can accomodate
man I want discord nitro so I can send all these emotes
Can't send em in here anyway
wdym
Custom emotes are only enabled in #off-topic
cant send :xdd:?
No nitro allowed in skyhold
sas
Yeah but who the duck uses stickers
Me lmao
Ig
This looks familiar
thats true
wasnt this some mid 2000s youtube meme
i deleted all my really dank memes
some of them albiet funny, were, erm, off color,
nope was 2009 lol
Yogi the type of dude to have a full folder of pepes labeled ”top keks”
:susge:
some time in SL i deleted all the really good ones
i dont download ones i would get banned for any more
Honestly if u havent experienced shitposting with reaction images on an internet image board uve been missin out
They should all be off-colour, he's orange.
there i did another scan and purge of nasty memes
Remember when there was an annoying Orange show with Toby turner on Cartoon Network
I didn't have cartoon network unfortunately

This shit had 60 episodes
Holy boomer
i do like creepy but i dislike salad fingers besides commentary on it and first watch through of new episodes
his work, alot of it is i want to see it once and forget it, very strange artist
Big uppies on my woyer this week
nice gz
Big grats
I got good vaults this week
Mage: hero balefire branch :LETSGOO:
Hunter: myth track gloves to replace hero
Druid: myth track crab to replace my 447 idol of the dreamer :keks:
Warrior: myth track tier shoulders to replace champion
Paladin: Myth track gloves to replace hero
Rogue: myth track weapon to replace hero MH (and hero MH will replace champ OH)
@warm plinth I didn't get vault

Games not very fun when all my friends aren't online but Christmas and New Year's are done
So people should be back soon
Game is unplayable soloQ
Tell them to quit being little bitches about it
Yeah my healer and DPS had to travel cross country for Christmas and newyears
whenever i get modded xbox from there its pretty much some day get vr, and s ome day get hacked gameboy/psp or steam deck
and then like, never need to think about games again, got a millioni want to have emus for
Yogi you should leave wow behind
nope im after playing a different game
Disappointed
they are games from like 2008 to 2017, c++ crappy games all made by 1 guy
essentially what they are
Lemmy Lizard vs The Mecha-Eggs one of them. ya, i'm not totally leaving you guys for these bangers
just, apparentlyt there is 2800 of them, want to try as many as i can
does spell block immune you to all spell damage? or just things cast directly on you?
like the bear roars in dht
❤️
tips for DHT tree boss?
leap the breath
cycle cds for grip
wall + sr for one
external + sr for the other
if no external consider holding demo
On Tyr weeks I run Immovable object so I can Wall every grip.
i play cheat death trinket in DHT on high tyr
lol
@jade socket
<@&257983573498265600>
you don't need to ping individuals, the role call is fine
We have vanquished the beast
Didn't want a warrior to get scammed 😦 sorry, saw you were around
Arch I was very satisfied reading that guy arguing w/ you on the fury bonus post 
He sure thought you said a lot of stuff you didn't say
happens all the time on the internet
sorry i was looking for Eyir and couldnt find it
forgot about Val'kyr
ty ghash
Sorry vil
fuk u @warm plinth
fuk u @lusty grotto
pretty sure i remembered Eyir jus because of that
i was like fuck, there was a mod global ping
"its probably eyir"
so i tried pinging eyir but was about to start a fyraak pull and thought the mod ping was removed somehow
just tell the mods you hate them already Nim smh
lol
Question about vault choices - Myth track helm [would catalyze into tier] or Myth track Stonescales?
Burn it
myth track stonescales doesnt do shit
its literally the same effect
there's absolutely 0 reason to consider it
maybe when you have everything else upgraded
small primary stat gain
Thanks - good point and I hadn't really thought about that
Really appreciate the input
Myth track boots as well
I'm just getting into 18+ keys - Tankiety
thats fine, just get helm
Finding I should have gotten over this tankiety long ago, but alas - taken me a while
helm being myth due to ilvl will buff the head enchant a bit too
I wonder if accelerating trinket would not be better for me than augury
I looked at sim and I saw than in aoe, myth augury deals ~1% more damage than hourglass and ~3.7% in st (less negligible here)
But for accelerating it is done mostly by haste while augury is an effect, which means that leech and BV are more affected by accelerating than augury, and more haste means more rage + more sb uptime and all
Anyway it is close enough to look for a myth shield for vault now at least
i have no idea what im looking at here
In the sceeens i first lines are for if take augury, arceried lines is for the trinket from fall of galakrond
I wanred to compare the two trinkets
still confused
i might have missed part of the conversation or something
17 fucking stacks in p2
thank god for dwarf
17 stacks literally halfway through p2
jesus i hate pugging
To sum up what i wanted to say, I found that despite augury deals more damage than sandglass, the difference is small and most damage comes from the effect for fyrakk while for the other trinket it comes from stats which is better defensively because of brutal vitality and leech which do not count trinket effect
So i wonder if it would not be better to keep sandglass in my case
brut vitality and leech shouldn't even be considered
when it comes to defensiveness
its such a small part of it
haste due to sandglass vs augury means you need to play perfectly
augury does not need perfect play
theres absolutely no reason to keep using sandglass, nothing you are mentioning should be worth considering
if you play exactly like the sim, then go for it sure
but you wont
and if you are staring at an augury in the vault
and youre not instantly taking it
i... would be at a loss of words
This is a good point, i sometimes do not see ss reset at times or outburstwhen things are too fast
hell prot enjoyers I got a quick question I was tanking a 25 brh for some friends last night and when we got to the spiders their venom was doing so much damage that if my healer wasn't good I would have just died right after my friend mentioned he healed a prot warrior who was able to "immune" the venom and idk what in our kit would let us do that am I missing something there?
If i see it i take it, but now that the difference is smaller, myth shield may be a higher priority, and then i can still try to get augury by raid
Not in our kit but if you have fyrak tank trinket, or any other shield effect you don’t take stacks
I learnt it last week thanks to this channel and it changes things a lot
got the auger out of the vault but no tank trinket luck yet
Also if healer has a shield it also works, if your hp bar doesn’t fall at all you don’t get stacks
Try to solo tank fyrak you will have more chance to get your tank trinket as there is not a tank who looks for it
im pugging it every week for axe anyway
oh thats huge
it does not cast it on you if you have a big shield
or rather, its deflected
well maybe deflected is not the right word
its just not applied to you
It's basically like an AMS type effect
yeh
yeah :\
the only thing keeping my mood up
actually theres nothing
i just dont wanna play
loot roulette with raid items isnt fun
Just give up and play fighting fames with me instead
what reduces the cd on avatar and extends avatar buff?
There isn't anything that extends it. Anger Management reduces the cooldown.
that only reduces the cd on colossus smash and bladestorm it says
This is the prot channel sir
But it's probably berserker's torment or w/e
bottom left of the class tree
I'm not familiar with arms talents to know what is reducing it though.
I assumed they also had AM
These do
im talking prot
we don't have colossus smash or bladestorm so...
This is our Anger Management. It's different based on your spec.
it must be a bug then
Where are you seeing it say Colossus Smash or Bladestorm?
strange
yeah thats why i was confused
Does it still show that if you swap away from prot and then back?
ill have to check im in raid right now
finally! tank trink off fyrakk.
Congrats!
What level of content are you expecting to do
M+ mostly and some raid (casual)
What level of M+/raid?
High keys (20 or higher) + and heroic raid
You can probably just go for embellishments first then. We recommend cloak/bracers w/ shadowflame
Alternatively you can go for shield first then weapon then embellishments
But just depends on how fast you normally get into the higher shit
well it doesnt matter cause crafted shield is 3 ilvls over a capped hero shield
unless hes rushing mythic gnarl, which he isnt
but obviously he'll need the aspects
Yeah, idk. I don't like spending aspects on crafted shit first tbh. I would rather upgrade
I mean I personally would go for shield/weapon just because I'm impatient
starting 10ish keys or higher tomorrow
And I don't like trusting it to RNG that I'll get them
But realistically you don't need an insane shield to do 10s
🤷 he can craft that if he wants; we have what, like 6 sparks now?
aight thanks for your suggestions and help
Np
do we gain any benefit from tanking multiple targets in raid?
i cant think of a reason why we would but figured id check if im missing something
More CDR on Demo Shout I guess
it depends on the scenario
itf stacks for example, but they are probably having capped itf if theyre bunching everything up anyway
probably have melee dps near you already as well
yeah
Gotta love going back to Need/Greed huh? At least when I got fucked from personal loot all I had to blame was myself
Honestly I don't like either system Need/Greed or Personal Loot, but whatever the answer is this aint it
yeah of the 2 if I have to pick one loot system I prefer this one, but it does leave opportunities to get boned as well
the problem with personal loot is that it made a roll for which loot to drop, out of a huge loot table because it needs to factor in EVERYTHING, and out of all that gave it to some randos that probably wouldn't have rolled otherwise
but i do agree
it would be good in LFR at the very least
just not in higher difficulties
its just no bad luck protection on stuff kinda feels bad at this point, at least for me since ive played for so long
Yeah I agree
im basically just thinking that i should go into recruitment once more
because im just not gonna get much if i keep pugging
yeah mostly meant specifically tanking the mobs not just hitting
Someone give me the good news and tell me that S1 set is not winning please.
Can't check the poll myself atm.
EU
Can't see US, someone else will have to do it.
are there any other damage trinkets worth using in rise since csb is so shit in there or might as well just use prophetic stonescales? other trinket os augury
Rezans/Branch are also both solid.
Bruh, fuck my vaults
I got the throne neck at veteran, but got myth legs as my high end key I did last week
I still just need a neck
Oh shit. You right
Can I craft shadowflame on a neck?
No.
Haven’t tried to craft yet
eh?
Put it on the super back burner
Also don’t know what to do with public orders either
but thats still irrelevant u should have 5 crafts
so u should really craft your emblishments
neck with food and rings
Like do I tip, do I just see if someone in the guild can craft it, do I just level my crafting up to get it
What ever floats your boat.
He is replying to nome
"i liked powerful shockwave".
Basically the message pinned
well u see he thought the points in capstones fo shockwave do somthing
and from what i can tell he did that last season
That's a big brain build.
All this voting has to be one of the laziest/resource saving moves from blizzard ever
I guess the fated concept itself already is
Just make something new 
okay i just added like 30 votes for S3 dont fuck it up now boys
What's the US vote like tho?
dunno
I can go fish it out after I finish studying here
no study just wow
i've got like 5 more mins tho
so the split's a bit better, but still uncomfortably close
thats the eu link
like identical to eu pretty much
Thank god for DK its looking good. over 50% voting for the S3 set
Yeah, like 5% difference from the earlier EU pic
Looks like DK players got more brain than the Warr S1 voters
Leech worth? Sims about 1200 DPS less then Unstable Frostfire belt, little higher ilvl.
Jep + craft Shadowflame on something else.

:vaulttime:
boots 
socket 
literally nothing 
i just want some augury is that too much to ask
same
I'd only hop back this season to nab more portals, probably. Otherwise, I'm pretty done; other games are more interesting to me than having to try and deal with WoW pugs and players in general
Especially with Uni 2 out in 2 weeks
Im still forcing my buddy to do fyrakk LFR for the legendary for me tho
just do hc
lul
"if you dont like leave"
kicks
do i remember correctly or someone was saying that vers vs crit was like a 0.5% damage difference?
or something similar to that
that depends entirely on your gear
but its easy 🤷
It is. But i cant be arsed logging in for longer than 2 minutes to check the trading post
Or i get brain rot
true
Also getting into decent groups 2 months after the patch dropped requires more work than i wanna put in
getting into a capable hc raid is the real hard part
US or EU voting?
He beat me to it, but yeah
The only difference I've noted is that US has a bit more of a gap than EU does between S3 and S1
Got complimented tanking a Rise 18 key today

Rogue leader whispers me “I wasn’t sure about Warr tanks but you did well”
If that counts
Did you DM him back with the "Thank you. I thought rogues were supposed to be good, but you proved it wrong".

should've gone for the toxic response smh
People thinking about comp in low keys is so funny to me
I would’ve told em to step outside
I figured he was coming from this angle
Ouch.
Yeah, it'd be nice if Blizz buffed us a lil bit. ;~; Kinda sick of being the whipping boy of the tank meta.
Know what'd help a lot? What we lack is utility, right? VDH and pally beat us there by a lot. What if... demo shout reduced their damage period, not just to us? That could help us bring big boy utility to groups. 😄

Shadowbolt volley about to smash into the group? Boom, demo shout. Get fucked, boss.
That'd be awesome. I know it won't happen, but it sure would make it feel good to warrior again.
Well that's what groups want these days, utility.
I didn't make the rules.
what naughty things do i whisper people to get invited to 26/27 keys
Clearly offers of prot warrior themed ERP are the ticket in.
S1 vdh 
They want "utility"
Really, they want whatever buzz word is currently popular to justify their feelings being right
I mean vdh absolutely brings more to the table in this dungeon pool when it comes to controlling the endless amounts of casts
i thought people were at a point where they exclusively invited prot pally only
That's sort of their thing, so I don't necessarily wanna swipe it, but it'd be nice to have something equally valuable but different to bring tot he table.
Just because they're accurate this time around doesn't mean that's not what the general public wants. Most of them aren't even using any of the utility Pala, VDH, etc provide
Ultimately, what the public at large wants is to be right using whatever justifications for it, actual performance/facts be damned
between kick, shout, fear, stormbolt, shockwave, shield charge i have never had any issue controlling mobs just sayin
Biggest difference is grouping mobs in my experience
VDH and PPally have it easier
the title cut off rn is 3440 io?
so if you're not meta u really cant get the title without a stack i assume
i guess the alternative is pushing ur own key but that sounds like the slowest way to do it and then ur praying u get a dungeon u need every time
Assuming Blizzard wanted to buff us slightly, what sort of buff would you want? Jakey didn't seem to like my idea, happy to hear other ideas for things we won't get. 
At the start of this expansion I wanted them to make the PvP talent Dragon Charge into a general talent for us. I stand by that. A force away/knock displacement ability would have many uses in the hands of a skilled player.
The Demo shout thing you propose is also a PvP talent already IIRC.
A talent that made Spell Reflect group-wide (probably in exchange for a longer cooldown)?
I like it because it would be unique to us, not stepping on the toes of another class too hard. It thematically makes sense. It would be useful without being broken.
In the current dungeon pool it's just a few specific pulls which are easier as VDH/Paladin, grouping wise.
I can see it because it would actually involve us Protecting others
Honestly, if they made our AoE silence work like the DH one, it would already be a huge step forward.
Having to actually interrupt the cast in order to silence instead of just straight out silencing is..annoying.
One of the things with Warrior - & this isn't just exclusive to Protection - is that our numbers are actually okay. Not broken bad, not broken good. But there's almost no meaningful choice in our talent trees, even compared to most other specs. This is largely enforced by several absolutely mandatory talents being locked up after the second gate.
When you consider that Avatar is mandatory for all Warrior specs, it should not be a Tier 3 talent. It should be Tier 2 and central in the class tree.
Also the fucking boring Aura talents need to die
That doesn’t change the fact that when played well Vdh and pally offer more useful group-impacting abilities in the current dungeon pool
And the biggest thing in pugs as a tank imo tends to be the potential o carry a key as a good player
Prot does not offer the tools to do that
Overall though, the core problem is that the Warrior talent trees are just functional enough to have one or two working builds, without actually being useful or fun. We had more actual choices in the 7 by 3 talent system than we do today.
Anyone play tauren and is annoyed by the purple bubble put around you by rageheart? It's huge ...
i have the opposite problem, the bubble on vulpera is too small, even proportionally
hmm
LOL yeah whoever adjusted these bubbles is either blind or making a joke
right?
i'd take your issue over mine LOL
thats pretty obnoxious
i did a WM last night, avatar + bubble + last boss = nothing but purple on your screen
Well, this season in particular, I would argue that out of warrior’s strengths, none of them are relevant to the dungeon pool
Compared to other tanks, warriors offer:
- Unmatched physical durability
- Spell reflect
- Battle Shout
You could argue rally but.. let’s be real rally in keys isn’t very impactful
makes me feel good tho..
And they nerfed Rallying Cry into the floor at the start of the season
But this season there aren’t many notable uses of spell reflect compared to last season. There are no dungeons that are excessively blockable damage. And the meta Dps specs don’t benefit much from battle shout if at all
And then everything else in warrior’s kit is offered by other tanks as well.
we are not the kings of physical mitigation any more, even on wcm 2nd boss vdh can last longer against them without needing to bring boss to fire
I’ve seen both get pretty equally high
But yeah it’s not like a massive gap like it was before
There's plenty of SR bosses/dungeons this season.
vdh is even better against phys dam, no?
But are they relevant enough to impact the outcome of a key
is this really true? i've never played vdh
A la whatevee that dungeon was last tier
Just look at WM.
i am not so sure we can say we are best against physical damage anymore, even last season bears were better too I think (at least in large pulls) but that was cuz infinite rage i guess
The one in the cave
Honestly WCM wickerman with no resets is a meme. It shouldn't get high enough to need a reset. If it does then the problem isn't the tank, it's the DPS not killing it fast enough.
Alright fair
if this was true prot warriors would get invited, the reality is spell reflect is actually only meta on fury, not prot
Didn’t realize it was that high in waycrest
You don't really understand the sheep mentality, do you?
^
no ppl just follow what is meta doesnt matter what actually is true or not
Ultimately it is still largely a herd mentality when it comes to the meta
only prot players know prot is x good in x dungeon
spell reflect is huge on prot warr
Any spec in the game can do at least 25s with zero issue
that's a pretty narrow community
But that’s not how the meta gets defined
most people just think its vdh/ppal or w/e is meta
prot is doing 30s
no one is going to invite a prot warrior cause they can spell reflect something but people will definitely think of spell reflect on a fury for wracking pain
Ya 25s are just like the level of reasonably puggable
Maybe it’s a bit higher now I haven’t kept up this tier
40m is A LOT of extra damage
which possibly puts prot at the top in that dungeon
The biggest issue i've had in higher keys are:
1)Some specific pulls grouping, like double/triple pull of casters around 1st boss;
2)DPS'ers dying to huge damage spikes;
That's about it.
no one is inviting prot warrior for damage rn though
Warriors are scary strudy/self sufficient in most keys.
tier lists say our dmg is trash too :'( and everyone loves tier lists
See but #2 is the thing
Yes, the #2 is the thing.
Vdh and pala can help alleviate that more than prot can
Where paladins help.
the reasons that SR is so important for DPS warriors is that certain critical casts are never sent on the tank. Etch in WCM, for example, cannot hit the tank unless everyone else is dead.
And obviously in key levels where it’s not a one shot
Doesn’t matter
But I know you know the meta trickles down because you’re smart and good at the game
Unfortunately most people aren’t those thing
Jep, I'm getting declined into +24 keys as a warrior cause "NEED PALADIN".
Yeah it’s moronic
You don’t need a Paladin you just suck ass and can’t kick
So you want the tank to carry that for you
never had issues getting into 25s but i have not been able to get into any 26/27s
so i just stopped logging in for the past week
I've been declined to a +18 because I wasn't a pally. I then got a group and +3d that same key.
Imagine gatekeeping specs in an 18
You don’t even need lust for an 18
you dont even need 5 ppl
you technically dont need a lust for a 26 either
You need maybe 3
did a 24 rise last week with drums lol. ppl are dumb
Yeah but especially not an 18 lmao
I can sleepwalk 18s
Or make any of our "Overcapped IP" become an absorb on allies.
ive been gatekept done a different key and seen the same key in groupfinder still looking. or the same key but a key lvl down 
Or make intervene remotely relevant
Cause god knows we're overcapping like crazy.
Hense, "Give back Safeguard".
its very satisfying when you get declined and see that same key depleted posted later
Oh idk what safeguard is 
Basically Blessing of Sacrifice from Paladins whenever you INtervene.
i've even thrown cheeky notes at them when i see it
Intervene becoming relevant again would be nice.
Ngl sometimes I ego apply to keys that say “need pala or vdh” as brew and then just say fuck you, you suck, then leave group (not after the key starts, just immediately upon joining)
Ok yeah that’s what I was picturing
And would make a ton of sense
Because right now intervene is basically a Classic ability
When was that in the game
Legion.
Wasn't there a conduit version of it in SL?
Mhm.
Honestly man it just frustrates me because we have the same issue on brew
We just offer nothing special
We’re good but like
Nothing sets us apart
rop is like our spell reflect
at least brew can rop and dispell...
Wdym?
You offer your class /spec for the party to flame when you fail a key.
Cause not meta.
Yeah but Paladin can dispel
But yeah, it would be nice as PROTECTION Warrior to have a few abilities that actually protected others

prot warriors have literally zero interactions with affixes, no dispell and no brez, we offer nothing :'(
Brew does nothing unique
the solution is pretty clear here guys - uninstall
Well nothing “truly” unique
but they can dispell which means they can do an affix
still cant believe monk didnt get brez and we didnt get lust tbh
I’d rather get clash back than brez
just give warriors the ability "CPR" and call it a day
yer expect intuprt, 2 stuns, fear, another optional stop, hp buff, ap buff, really high mitigation for ours selves
One that you can’t take without trolling
yeah dang brew talent trees probablty even tighter than ours
We really only have flexibility in capstone tier
And even then not a lot
It’s about the same tbh
i think warriors are great but if its not an "in your face" asset like brez or infinite interupts no one cares
Gimme an enrage removal. It would be thematically appropriate for us the intimidate mobs out of Enraged
What of those are unique and relevant to the current season though
Like no shot you list interrupt
okay so why were we considered good in S1 if we have no in your face things?
warriors take more skill to execute while paladins just mash avenger shield so i mean who are u gonna invite
because we pumped duh
Yeah warrior is deceivingly skill based
nothing is more in your face than being at the top of the meters
no its not
You’d think it’s simple
its literally brain dead
Class is stupid easy to play right now, indeed.
But that goes for any tank really
you think prot pally is harder than a prot warrior?
they are the same
Pally has more skill expression imo
I do - since you also keep an eye on your party.
you think controlling mobs as a warrior is the same as mashing shield on pally?
if anything its harder to play pala
With external stuff
Ye
as theres more things to do
3 HP, do i heal that ally? Do i heal myself? Do i SOTR?
Already more decision making than warrior.
😂
Sac, bop, WoG, LoH,
I would like us to be more skill based. We should be good if the player is good at Executing the class abilities.
In other words, bring back banner.
freedoms, sacks, bops etc
Mitigation vs healing
Ya I backtrack my point about warr skill ceiling
I’ll take that L
Nah there’s no way banner comes back
At least not like it was
idk i think we're downplaying how easy pallies group up mobs with infinite interupts
It was way too hard for the vast majority of players
That’s skill floor
Pally skill ceiling is giga
I live in hope 
Because of externals
That's got nothing to do with how difficult pally can be. o.o
your literally mentioning 1 thing
i think people are going to invite based on skill floor, not ceiling
^
Nobody invites based on either of those
People invite based on MDI meta
ppl invite based on community perception and io score
if paladins had to scope in first person and aim their shield at each individual mob no one would invite them imo
What.
I'm lost at what you're trying to prove.
its a bad way of saying if something is hard and convoluted to execute people are less likely to invite them even if in theory they;d be the best
That's not true.
But you’re missing what we’re saying
like i've always been hesitant to invite mages
We’re saying that you can easily be capable on pally and warrior
But to play the spec to it’s maximum potential it is more skill intensive for paladins
Just look at any of the FOTM re-rollers.
All DH's rushing into frontals doesn't stop people inviting them.
They have a deeper toolkit

We do a little auto attack sync trolling

No, people will invite the meta and then bitch if they don't execute it perfectly. Even in like a +5
Real
i dont think either are "hard" but i would argue that its easier to play pallies at a base level with infinite interupts grouping mobs freely
thing is ask anyone who only invites meta classes WHY they just invite those classes and they wont be able to tell oyu
"uuuh cus theyre the best rn"
ok
See, the issue is that you are arguing for "Infinite interrupts" - and that's all.
first pull of brh or everbloom is a good example
okay go watch an average warrior do those pulls then an average paladin do it
...what's a "Average warrior" and a "average paladin"?
Tbf ive seen multiple groups brick on those just because they don’t have their kick bound or something
Oh I know, I know. If I pug I often go for the non meta classes because there's a better chance your not getting a FotM rerolling mouthbreather
My average and your average are probably very different.
riight okay nvm
Sure, it's a possibility.
I've also seen pallys try to do the big pull in EB and just fall over cause they keep running around not standing in COnsc.
I've also seen plenty of warriors try to do the same pull and die.
Average fotm pally SotR/cons uptimes 
We love seeing 50-60% 
The hardest thing about warrior right now is trying to remember what's reflectable/blockable/Spell blockable. 😂
The reliance on Consecration is what trips me up on Paladin. I am too used to Warrior and utilising movement for mitigation
Jep. Sanguine week as paladin.
Is a curse.

So much movement.
Storming now xD
isnt consecration on a very low CD or does it need to be proc'd
It's not super long, but being outside it is bad. They rely a lot on their Mastery
It has a fairly short CD, yes. But it eats up a global + their tier is tied to a "MEGA CONSC" from time to time.
WHich makes walking out of it/recasting it even worse.
at the end of the day class doesnt matter u just gotta have a stack of gamers i guess
Good DPS are the best form of mitigation any tank can have.
^
Which is why bad DPS piss me off so much.
"I'm going to blow all my cooldowns on this one mob right at the edge of the pack that the tank hasn't hit yet, and then run off to Narnia as it chases me! Why is this tank so terrible?"
Fuck you.
Its always the biggest burst specs doing that shit too lol
why did you lose aggro tank
oh did i unload all my dps cooldowns before tank even managed to thunderclap once?
what a shame
Yep. And they never do it to the right target, either. The mob I charge and do the first Shield Slam on? That's the guy who needs to be focused down. Not whichever mob you burst on.
Bro i feel you so fucking much
I actually had a DH tell me that he was bursting on the Risen Champions in BRH because he didn't want to have to do Interrupts on the Risen Arcanists
Like... Dude
is fury warrior considered meta?
idk how big of an impact the legendary has on making 2H classes picked in m+
No. Both warrior dps specs are in good spots but they aren't meta
Think it's Havoc/Aug and then a mix of Rogue/Warlock/Hunter with a mix of Mage/Pally trailing behind when it comes to "meta".
