It's really really good too btw

strange wedge
#

what'd Roidstack get banned for btw

grim pilot
#

Idk I went 3 chapters

#

was kinda bored

lusty grotto
#

who?

grim pilot
#

fury warrior

lusty grotto
#

how would we know lol

blazing condor
#

id imagine they broke the server rules

strange wedge
#

ye but what'd he break

#

he shitposted a lot though

#

wait this is prot

grim pilot
strange wedge
#

why does this keep happening

grim pilot
#

:xdd:

teal swift
#

4 letters, we can't read

strange wedge
#

I just assumed this was fury because I never click on any of the other channels

toxic pewter
#

I assume if you are posting offtopic too much you will get banned

#

at the end of the day we must stay on topic

strange wedge
#

ye prob

grim pilot
#

It cant be just that

strange wedge
#

was also wondering why fury warr chat quieted down so much

teal swift
#

@strange wedge was he banned yesterday?

grim pilot
#

I doubt he'd get banned just for posting off topic

grim pilot
teal swift
#

There was like 20 bans last night in fury

#

Ah ok

grim pilot
#

wait what

#

really lol

#

why

teal swift
#

Uh, it was pretty critcake last night

#

Has to go to 60s slowmode

lusty grotto
#

@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

grim pilot
#

I heard he got banned for shitposting and spreading misinformation but like, idk and idc

lusty grotto
#

apparently nish is a commited fan

#

welp it be like that sometimes

strange wedge
#

so many people hating eachother for their choice of tier set

teal swift
#

That's like the most important thing

strange wedge
#

I think it's because he blended chicken

lusty grotto
#

if thats the case, it sounds like a justified ban

#

#

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?

lusty grotto
#

swap shield

lusty grotto
#

you cant sim shields

teal swift
#

Shield is more damage, more tankiness

lusty grotto
#

myth shield > all

rocky iron
#

thanks guys

teal swift
#

🫡

rocky iron
#

when should i be swapping specs (and which spec to swap to) to optimise loot drops?

lusty grotto
#

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

teal swift
rocky iron
#

kk thanks

teal swift
#

Now that you have a shield, you're just basically deciding what trinkets you want, so set your loot spec for that accordingly

rocky iron
#

amazing

teal swift
#

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

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

blazing condor
lusty grotto
#

#

plush tendon
lusty grotto
#

yeah pretty much just make sure you TC when you proc it

#

is the 1h axe from Fyrakk really good?

restive scroll
#

bis, over even higher ilevel weapon

#

Normal one is better than 489, apparently

teal swift
#

Once you get it on normal, only upgrades are more gholak.

Even lfr is about the power of a heroic raid wep

edgy bone
teal swift
#

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.

Anyone have any idea what the fuck it means to deflect a physical attack?

round cliff
#

parry?

thin silo
#

parry's listed separately

teal swift
#

It's just parry

thin silo
#

which is presumably why they're wondering about it applying to a physical attack

teal swift
#

It wasn't a physical attack

#

It was hateful charge

#

It's a spell that uses melee hit tavke

#

Physical school spell

#

tree grip in DHT is actually a joke

teal swift
#

@steady karma is this correct?

torn gulch
#

how is that spell the way it is

trim bay
#

Yea you shouldn't take more then 1

thin silo
#

I suppose that's the sloppy-ass nomenclature we should expect from a 20-year old game

trim bay
#

I don't see the issue with that

#

You can dodge it.

median tulip
trim bay
#

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

I have no fucking idea, it's why I pinged the theorycrafter

#

Ok thanks

torn gulch
#

actually ridiculous

#

#

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

trim bay
#

tree boss?

#

like the first boss

torn gulch
#

second

trim bay
#

oh

torn gulch
#

oakheart and his mighty grip

#

first boss is free for me

trim bay
#

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

torn gulch
#

i jump all breaths and focus cd's on grip alone

trim bay
#

it shouldnt slap that much

torn gulch
#

it does

#

500k+ per tick on 25 tyr

trim bay
#

like on a 25 tyr i was rarely under 50 percent

#

on a crush

#

unless im on drugs

#

ill check log

torn gulch
#

again i am not that good yet

#

i am learning

#

season is long i have time

trim bay
#

oh i didnt mean that. im flor pov most of the time.

torn gulch
#

first season i am pushing seriously since nyalotha

trim bay
#

healer might need to focus u more. could be that simple

torn gulch
#

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

weak snow
#

can i prevent to lose too much life from being thrown on another player second boss DHT?

tribal wharf
#

what is the deal with the leap on that anyways

#

have to leap far away i guess

blazing condor
blazing condor
tribal wharf
#

but its you have to leap far is what im saying

blazing condor
#

You just leap

tribal wharf
#

to just even do it to begin with

blazing condor
#

But you can leap at all if the player is too close to the biss

tribal wharf
#

leap does have a minimum range requirment for cursor

#

8 yards or somethin

blazing condor
#

Yeah so you just leap minimum

#

But you dont do that anyway

tribal wharf
#

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,

Question about vault choices - Myth track helm [would catalyze into tier] or Myth track Stonescales?

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

its literally the same effect

#

there's absolutely 0 reason to consider it

#

maybe when you have everything else upgraded

#

small primary stat gain

next flint
#

Thanks - good point and I hadn't really thought about that

#

Really appreciate the input

lusty grotto
#

are those really your only 2 choices?

#

myth helm is pretty solid

next flint
#

Myth track boots as well

lusty grotto
#

one of the 3 biggest stat pools with chest and legs

#

nah helm

next flint
#

I'm just getting into 18+ keys - Tankiety

lusty grotto
#

thats fine, just get helm

next flint
#

Finding I should have gotten over this tankiety long ago, but alas - taken me a while

lusty grotto
#

helm being myth due to ilvl will buff the head enchant a bit too

ashen coral
#

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

lusty grotto
#

i have no idea what im looking at here

ashen coral
#

I wanred to compare the two trinkets

lusty grotto
#

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

ashen coral
#

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

lusty grotto
#

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

ashen coral
little kernel
#

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?

ashen coral
ashen coral
little kernel
#

oh

#

that would do it thanks

ashen coral
#

I learnt it last week thanks to this channel and it changes things a lot

little kernel
#

got the auger out of the vault but no tank trinket luck yet

ashen coral
#

Also if healer has a shield it also works, if your hp bar doesn’t fall at all you don’t get stacks

ashen coral
little kernel
#

im pugging it every week for axe anyway

lusty grotto
#

the shield thing works also works on dawn's anomalies

#

this thing

little kernel
#

oh thats huge

lusty grotto
#

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

warm plinth
#

It's basically like an AMS type effect

lusty grotto
#

any shield works for bloom

#

cocoon, disc shields

#

and of course rageheart

warm plinth
#

yeh

lusty grotto
#

fuck this game seriously

#

and because i was prot specced for rageheart

warm plinth
#

Why does it say off-spec

#

Oh augury

#

nvm

lusty grotto
#

yeah :\

#

the only thing keeping my mood up

#

actually theres nothing

#

i just dont wanna play

#

what reduces the cd on avatar and extends avatar buff?

warm plinth
#

There isn't anything that extends it. Anger Management reduces the cooldown.

lime oasis
#

that only reduces the cd on colossus smash and bladestorm it says

warm plinth
#

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

urban portal
#

Nothing works with avatar in arms

#

Rather nothing gives avatar

warm plinth
#

These do

lime oasis
#

im talking prot

warm plinth
#

we don't have colossus smash or bladestorm so...

#

This is our Anger Management. It's different based on your spec.

lime oasis
#

it must be a bug then

warm plinth
#

Where are you seeing it say Colossus Smash or Bladestorm?

lime oasis
warm plinth
#

strange

lime oasis
#

yeah thats why i was confused

warm plinth
#

Does it still show that if you swap away from prot and then back?

lime oasis
#

ill have to check im in raid right now

Congrats!

radiant fox
#

fresh tank gearing up

#

what crafted should i get

warm plinth
#

What level of content are you expecting to do

radiant fox
warm plinth
#

What level of M+/raid?

radiant fox
#

High keys (20 or higher) + and heroic raid

warm plinth
#

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

lusty grotto
#

shield first is probably better

#

if he has 0 gear

warm plinth
#

But just depends on how fast you normally get into the higher shit

lusty grotto
#

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

warm plinth
#

Yeah, idk. I don't like spending aspects on crafted shit first tbh. I would rather upgrade

radiant fox
#

what do you suggest then

#

maybe a shield can help me tank more

warm plinth
#

I mean I personally would go for shield/weapon just because I'm impatient

radiant fox
#

starting 10ish keys or higher tomorrow

warm plinth
#

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

radiant fox
#

agreed

#

then cape or bracers it its

#

with shadowflame

lusty grotto
#

i mean

#

he has a 381 shield...

#

base spark is 450

#

iirc

warm plinth
#

🤷 he can craft that if he wants; we have what, like 6 sparks now?

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

seems wasteful not to go shield but yeah hes paying his sub

radiant fox
#

aight thanks for your suggestions and help

warm plinth
#

Np

modern gazelle
#

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

warm plinth
#

More CDR on Demo Shout I guess

lusty grotto
#

it depends on the scenario

#

itf stacks for example, but they are probably having capped itf if theyre bunching everything up anyway

warm plinth
#

probably have melee dps near you already as well

lusty grotto
#

yeah

Honestly I don't like either system Need/Greed or Personal Loot, but whatever the answer is this aint it

lusty grotto
#

i prefer this type of loot to personal

#

personal was way worse with my luck

waxen cradle
#

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

lusty grotto
#

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

waxen cradle
#

Yeah I agree

im basically just thinking that i should go into recruitment once more

Disrupting shout helps a lot

Helps me a lot

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. 😄

That be a dream

That’d

Shadowbolt volley about to smash into the group? Boom, demo shout. Get fucked, boss. clueless That'd be awesome. I know it won't happen, but it sure would make it feel good to warrior again.

I miss so much feeling good to warrior

jagged pier

yer because we had more utility in S1 compared to VDH

absoulte dead take honestly

Well that's what groups want these days, utility. sadge I didn't make the rules.

soft plume
#

what naughty things do i whisper people to get invited to 26/27 keys

raw parcel
#

Clearly offers of prot warrior themed ERP are the ticket in.

pallid quiver
#

They want "utility"

#

Really, they want whatever buzz word is currently popular to justify their feelings being right

waxen frigate
#

I mean vdh absolutely brings more to the table in this dungeon pool when it comes to controlling the endless amounts of casts

soft plume
#

i thought people were at a point where they exclusively invited prot pally only

raw parcel
#

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.

pallid quiver
#

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

soft plume
#

between kick, shout, fear, stormbolt, shockwave, shield charge i have never had any issue controlling mobs just sayin

lavish sphinx
#

Biggest difference is grouping mobs in my experience

#

VDH and PPally have it easier

soft plume
#

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

raw parcel
#

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. FingerGuns

median tulip
#

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)?

raw parcel
ionic fern
#

In the current dungeon pool it's just a few specific pulls which are easier as VDH/Paladin, grouping wise.

median tulip
ionic fern
#

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.

blazing condor
#

soon free peepoHappy

median tulip
#

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

waxen frigate
#

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

median tulip
#

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 ...

toxic pewter

thats pretty obnoxious

orchid mural

i did a WM last night, avatar + bubble + last boss = nothing but purple on your screen

waxen frigate
#

Compared to other tanks, warriors offer:

  1. Unmatched physical durability
  2. Spell reflect
  3. Battle Shout
#

You could argue rally but.. let’s be real rally in keys isn’t very impactful

orchid mural
#

makes me feel good tho..

median tulip
#

And they nerfed Rallying Cry into the floor at the start of the season

waxen frigate
#

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.

toxic pewter
#

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

waxen frigate
#

I’ve seen both get pretty equally high

#

But yeah it’s not like a massive gap like it was before

ionic fern
#

There's plenty of SR bosses/dungeons this season.

A la whatevee that dungeon was last tier

Just look at WM.

toxic pewter

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

waxen frigate

The one in the cave

ionic fern
#

This one was my 27WM overall damage.

median tulip
#

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.

waxen frigate
soft plume
# ionic fern Yes.

if this was true prot warriors would get invited, the reality is spell reflect is actually only meta on fury, not prot

waxen frigate
#

Didn’t realize it was that high in waycrest

ionic fern
waxen frigate
#

^

jagged pier
#

no ppl just follow what is meta doesnt matter what actually is true or not

waxen frigate
#

Ultimately it is still largely a herd mentality when it comes to the meta

jagged pier
#

if streamers say u need a paladin

#

there u go

grim pilot
#

only prot players know prot is x good in x dungeon

toxic pewter
#

spell reflect is huge on prot warr

waxen frigate
#

Any spec in the game can do at least 25s with zero issue

grim pilot
#

that's a pretty narrow community

waxen frigate
#

But that’s not how the meta gets defined

grim pilot
#

most people just think its vdh/ppal or w/e is meta

jagged pier
#

prot is doing 30s

soft plume
#

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

waxen frigate
#

Maybe it’s a bit higher now I haven’t kept up this tier

grim pilot
#

which possibly puts prot at the top in that dungeon

ionic fern
#

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.

soft plume
#

no one is inviting prot warrior for damage rn though

ionic fern
#

Warriors are scary strudy/self sufficient in most keys.

soft plume
#

tier lists say our dmg is trash too :'( and everyone loves tier lists

ionic fern
#

Yes, the #2 is the thing.

waxen frigate
#

Vdh and pala can help alleviate that more than prot can

ionic fern
#

Where paladins help.

median tulip
#

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.

waxen frigate
#

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

ionic fern
#

Jep, I'm getting declined into +24 keys as a warrior cause "NEED PALADIN".

waxen frigate
#

Yeah it’s moronic

ionic fern
#

Meanwhile i've done the keys on a 27.

#

Okayyyyyyy then.

waxen frigate
#

You don’t need a Paladin you just suck ass and can’t kick

#

So you want the tank to carry that for you

soft plume
#

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

jagged pier
#

okay but thats not spell reflect being the issue

#

thats comminity perception

median tulip
#

I've been declined to a +18 because I wasn't a pally. I then got a group and +3d that same key.

ionic fern
#

Just give us back Safeguard.

waxen frigate

You don’t even need lust for an 18

blazing condor

you dont even need 5 ppl

you technically dont need a lust for a 26 either

You need maybe 3

When was that in the game

Legion.

waxen frigate

I only started playing in SL

Wasn't there a conduit version of it in SL?

blazing condor

it was in SL too

as a conduit

ionic fern
#

Mhm.

waxen frigate

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

toxic pewter
#

rop is like our spell reflect

soft plume
#

at least brew can rop and dispell...

blazing condor
#

yeah we got spell reflect

#

but thats just for us

ionic fern
#

Cause not meta.

waxen frigate
#

Yeah but Paladin can dispel

median tulip
#

But yeah, it would be nice as PROTECTION Warrior to have a few abilities that actually protected others

ionic fern
waxen frigate
#

DK can grip

#

DH can chains

soft plume
#

prot warriors have literally zero interactions with affixes, no dispell and no brez, we offer nothing :'(

waxen frigate
#

Brew does nothing unique

blazing condor
#

the solution is pretty clear here guys - uninstall

waxen frigate
#

Well nothing “truly” unique

soft plume
#

but they can dispell which means they can do an affix

toxic pewter
#

still cant believe monk didnt get brez and we didnt get lust tbh

waxen frigate
soft plume
#

just give warriors the ability "CPR" and call it a day

toxic pewter
#

isnt clash a talent

#

or am i way wrong

jagged pier

yer expect intuprt, 2 stuns, fear, another optional stop, hp buff, ap buff, really high mitigation for ours selves

waxen frigate
toxic pewter
#

yeah dang brew talent trees probablty even tighter than ours

waxen frigate

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

median tulip
waxen frigate
#

Like no shot you list interrupt

jagged pier
#

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

waxen frigate

nothing is more in your face than being at the top of the meters

no its not

You’d think it’s simple

In terms of ceiling I disagree

The floor isn’t high though

ionic fern

Class is stupid easy to play right now, indeed.

waxen frigate
#

But that goes for any tank really

jagged pier
#

its hasnt got a high ceiling at all

#

it used to ahve one

soft plume
#

you think prot pally is harder than a prot warrior?

blazing condor
#

doesnt have a high floor

#

but low ceiling

jagged pier
#

they are the same

waxen frigate
#

Pally has more skill expression imo

ionic fern
soft plume
#

you think controlling mobs as a warrior is the same as mashing shield on pally?

jagged pier
#

if anything its harder to play pala

waxen frigate
#

With external stuff

jagged pier
#

as theres more things to do

ionic fern
#

3 HP, do i heal that ally? Do i heal myself? Do i SOTR?

#

Already more decision making than warrior.

#

😂

waxen frigate
#

Sac, bop, WoG, LoH,

median tulip
#

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.

jagged pier
#

freedoms, sacks, bops etc

waxen frigate
#

Mitigation vs healing

#

Ya I backtrack my point about warr skill ceiling

#

I’ll take that L

waxen frigate
#

At least not like it was

soft plume
#

idk i think we're downplaying how easy pallies group up mobs with infinite interupts

waxen frigate
#

It was way too hard for the vast majority of players

waxen frigate
#

Pally skill ceiling is giga

median tulip
waxen frigate
#

Because of externals

ionic fern
jagged pier
soft plume
#

i think people are going to invite based on skill floor, not ceiling

waxen frigate
#

waxen frigate
lyric cape
#

People invite based on MDI meta

jagged pier
#

ppl invite based on community perception and io score

soft plume
#

if paladins had to scope in first person and aim their shield at each individual mob no one would invite them imo

ionic fern
#

I'm lost at what you're trying to prove.

soft plume
#

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

ionic fern
#

That's not true.

waxen frigate
#

But you’re missing what we’re saying

soft plume
#

like i've always been hesitant to invite mages

waxen frigate
#

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

ionic fern
#

Just look at any of the FOTM re-rollers.
All DH's rushing into frontals doesn't stop people inviting them.

waxen frigate
#

They have a deeper toolkit

ionic fern
waxen frigate
median tulip
waxen frigate
#

Real

soft plume
#

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

blazing condor
#

"uuuh cus theyre the best rn"

#

ok

ionic fern
soft plume
#

first pull of brh or everbloom is a good example

ionic fern
#

That's...nothing.

#

🤔

#

How are either of those a hard pull?

soft plume
#

okay go watch an average warrior do those pulls then an average paladin do it

ionic fern
waxen frigate
median tulip
#

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

ionic fern
#

My average and your average are probably very different.

soft plume
#

riight okay nvm

ionic fern
#

I've also seen plenty of warriors try to do the same pull and die.

waxen frigate
#

We love seeing 50-60% keks

ionic fern
#

The hardest thing about warrior right now is trying to remember what's reflectable/blockable/Spell blockable. 😂

median tulip
#

The reliance on Consecration is what trips me up on Paladin. I am too used to Warrior and utilising movement for mitigation

ionic fern
#

Is a curse.

#

So much movement.

median tulip
#

Storming now xD

soft plume
#

isnt consecration on a very low CD or does it need to be proc'd

median tulip
#

It's not super long, but being outside it is bad. They rely a lot on their Mastery

ionic fern
#

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.

soft plume
#

at the end of the day class doesnt matter u just gotta have a stack of gamers i guess

median tulip
#

Good DPS are the best form of mitigation any tank can have.

ionic fern
#

median tulip
#

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.

warm plinth
#

Its always the biggest burst specs doing that shit too lol

torn gulch
#

why did you lose aggro tank
oh did i unload all my dps cooldowns before tank even managed to thunderclap once?
what a shame

median tulip
#

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.

nocturne vine
median tulip
#

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

soft plume
#

is fury warrior considered meta?

#

idk how big of an impact the legendary has on making 2H classes picked in m+

warm plinth
#

No. Both warrior dps specs are in good spots but they aren't meta

ionic fern
#

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".
