Damn your group let's you reflect stuff?

#

Whenever I call reflect my shit gets insta kicked

#

How does alunza in atal spell reflect work? Sometimes i reflect but it does nothing

#

The transfusion cast i mean

strong forum
#

My theory is

#
  • It only works if another priest is already channeling on you
  • you have blood debuff
  • 2nd priest/boss starts channeling on you
#

If you do those things

#

Then reflecting the 2nd channel will do all of the bloods channel dmg instantly and attribute it towards spell reflect

#

Aka, it's fake reflect damage

#

That is my working theory

azure smelt
#

Whoa

#

I tried letting it tick hitting sr then walking in the puddle and i heard the sound but got no dmg

strong forum
#

I'm also fairly confident that that is the case regarding my theory

azure smelt
#

Is it always "fake dmg"? So not worth even trying?

strong forum
#

I'd say so, yes

#

It's a very specific scenario that has only appeared when 2 priests(or 1 +boss) were alive

#

And requiring you having the blood debuff

#

And all it does

#

Is just do the blood transfusion dmg all at once to the reflected priest, instead of over time

#

So nothing changes except your details bar looks bigger

#

You can't "force" it either

#

Cuz priests pick their target randomly

#

So it's just rng stacked ontop of rng just to get a fake reflect

azure smelt
#

Kinda jank but is what it is

#

Thanks for the info

#

I don't really understand why Bladestorm is Arms and Rav is Fury. Seems the wrong way around to me

strong forum
#

Cuz bladestorm was arms only for decades

#

And it's iconic

#

But since arms is now a bleed spec

#

Bladestorm isn't allowed to hit hard anymore

median tulip
strong forum
#

So they have to make bladestorm hit like a wet fucking noodle

#

But it's viable cuz of hurricane

To get that dumb buff to buff your roar

And then extend it again

Wish they’d boost its damage and decouple the root break aspect of it, make that part talented

It would be fine if bladestorm itself would do more than 20k dmg

Well, generally speaking, spenders should hit harder than builders.

waxen cradle

like I said I can dream they seem stuck on it not hitting very hard

well in compare certainly

Based on first looks at our "hero" talents they seem to be leaning hard towards propping up SS, TC, and giving us more Avatar

All that being massively massively subject to change and it damn sure will be

Revenge isn't just shit it's also boring to press. There is no feedback from it. You get a gentle whoosh sound and maybe you did some damage who knows? Doesn't sound or look like it. You kind of just slashed the air. 😂

Hey Fellas, im going to preface this by saying that I think I am just a completely bozo. I play a couple tanks around ksh level and have just started doing 22s as a prot pala. Usually I can do content a bit higher then my ilvl, But now i tried prot warrior, and have been getting completely stompped. Is there anywhere i could look or advice someone could give at a general basis on how to run into packs (what cds) and what kind of cd rotation you want (i got a weak aura for ignore pain amount but am not sure if im supposed to spam revenge or spam ignore pain. Apologies for the long mssg, any help is appreciated. im trying to do 16s as a 455

pallid quiver
#

If you're asking between whether you should use revenge or ignore pain, you're probably playing the class wrong at a base line level.

#

We have enough rage to comfortably use both a lot, though revenge less so just due to how many times we get to cast thunder clap with current tier

#

You're gonna need to post a log since it sounds like there's some fundamental issues just going in to just playing the class before you get to handling defensive CDs; you can go through 16s almost without ever even pressing a defensive CD at all and be fine

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

your reliant on conc

ionic fern
#

But jeah, we need logs, or more specific situations in where you feel like you're struggling.

jagged pier
ionic fern
#

Jeah, but even in Conc..

#

It's so horrible.

#

The damage intake..the lack of self-healing.

#

Ugh.

jagged pier
#

just use that 1 min cd that is actually less that just saved u from dying

mystic perch
#

Ijust feel unkillable as prot pala, plus can heal, have insane divine shield, freedom, cleanse etc. warrior. i can sit, take way less damage but get wittled away, definitely an issue with how im playing it. ill try finish a key and send logs, or see if i can get the logs from my 2 failed yesterday. One of them i was pre with an equally terrible heal which was a prob haha, thanks for the advice

#

the everbloom and atal dazar, i know im absolutely clueless, so please forgive me, i want ti improve and be good at all tanks

#

oops i see log review, mb

pallid quiver
#

Prot logs you can just drop in here, tbh

#

Most logs are assumed DPS in the log review channel

#

i don't ever even go there unless someone tells me there's a prot log in there

mystic perch
tawdry dirge
#

not the best log reader but did you switch in the middle to DEFstance and thought that is enough with out shieldblock?

pallid quiver
#

So starting off, after cutting off the trim at the end, you're at about 50 CPM, which is criminally low for the class

#

You also generated just shy of 9.8k rage, but wasted 1205 of it

#

So you wasted an entire 12 rage bars worth of rage over about 18 minutes

#

The biggest reason you probably feel squishy is because of a combo of not having shield block up at all times as well as getting hit in the back with shield block up

jagged pier
#

i mean the tldr is:
low cpm
poor shield block management
poor outburst management

pallid quiver
#

So you're ignoring the main defensive factor of Prot War roughly 30% of the time since you were close to 70% blocked hits overall

jagged pier
#

u also dont have enough haste to run 2 block talents

#

which leads to even worse SB management because u have less than u should

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, didn't catch that one; go ahead and swap Into the Fray into Heavy Rep as a heads up for what to swap

#

You also are losing out on potential rage gen and DR from demoralizing shout, since you cast it only 19 times in comparison to shield charge at 26 times; at worst, they should have the same/very close to the same number of casts due to their base CD being the same. With thunderlord, you should have more casts of demo than shield charge due to the CD reduction

#

The single biggest issue, though, is just not pressing enough buttons/buttons fast enough. You've got like half-ish the shield block casts you should have for 100% uptime, Ignore Pain should be used more to just dump rage (also why tracking it is unecessary, since you'll often cast it with a full absorb just to spend the rage off GCD), and just pressing more buttons

mystic perch
#

Sorry whats cpm? like clicks per minute?

ionic fern
#

Casts per minute.

pallid quiver
#

It's how many actual abilities you send over time

mystic perch
#

I see I see, in what scenario would i use revenge if im oumping resources into ignore pain?

jagged pier
#

to fish for SS procs

#

when u have outburst ready

#

thats about it

pallid quiver
#

When Shield Slam and Thunder Clap are on CD.

That's what I meant from before

proud heart
#

srry new player

pallid quiver
proud heart
#

shield block?

pallid quiver
#

Prot War's whole thing is blocking

#

reduces damage intake by a lot

proud heart
#

yeah but you meant shield block uptime right?

pallid quiver
#

It's also why people think we just flop over to magic damage, even if that's not true

pallid quiver
#

Since some of his hits taken were in the back with shield block active

proud heart
#

ohh

pallid quiver
#

doesn't matter if shield block is up if you're not looking at the mobs

proud heart
#

remember its the tornado week too

#

im currenty playing BDK and its fuckng me up so bad, wanted to try out warrior

#

like it fucks up your positioning so badly

jagged pier
#

we dont care about the uptime metric is means very little

#

we only care about blocked hits

pallid quiver
# mystic perch I see I see, in what scenario would i use revenge if im oumping resources into i...

You should be using both Revenge and IP since you don't have 4p yet to get so many TCs you rarely press Revenge, since Revenge resets SS CD like Jakey said, so you get more rage overall. But you should also be drowning in enough rage that you need to spend it off GCD to avoid wasting rage. Again, you wasted an entire 12 rage bars worth of rage by getting rage while capped on rage. You should just be sending that on IP so it gets spent

tawdry dirge
#

i was getting yesterday that rare neck

#

does shadowflamepatch count into firedmg?

#

so it can procc from that

#

also is it in anyways possible to deal nature dmg 😄

blazing condor

p sure shadowflame patch counts

jagged pier
#

i mean the neck is useless pretty much anyway

lyric cape
#

Pretty much

tawdry dirge
#

YEAH ofc but it was just cause of couriosity

lyric cape
#

Went through a few logs to see if shadowflame could proc it. 5 logs with 6 minutes fights only 2 procs in total

#

So i wouldn't worry to much about trying to proc the shield

tawdry dirge
#

yeh i did use it cause ilvl and sims okay for me

#

but i was just curious if it can be procced atall

#

100k is nothing

hardy snow

it was 100 dps increase over crit haste crafted for me

or somthing dumb

i have 5% vers

so no not really

#

im also not loosing flavour pocket

tawdry dirge
#

was for me 1% dps gain and i have penty of versa now

lusty grotto
#

sounds meaningless

tawdry dirge
#

not really since versa soothes out dmg intake too so its winwin

lusty grotto

no, not really

its a big loss for whoever it was bis for like monks and rets

you're not gaining anything substantial

might be in a pgression guild the case but we are a casual bunch and was imo a bigdef upgrade for me 6% versa +300 stamina isnt nothing

As far as spell reflect weakauras go there’s just one? Spell reflect essentials? Is the aura that announces when it’s up to the group and announces the reflected damage a separate WA or am I missing something?

blazing condor
#

theres a wa/addon (dont remember which) that shows you how much you reflected back in damage

#

i have an omnicd interrupt-tracker that displays spell reflect for my team

#

even for other ppls spell reflects

timber nest
#

I have SRE but ya

#

Just curious

blazing condor
#

otherwise you had the weak aura that showed what you could reflect but it isnt updated to this season

timber nest
#

It’s updated unless i somehow got a fork that’s scuffed

blazing condor
#

i know it works for s1 dungeons but doesnt show any for s3

#

not that its needed

timber nest
#

That’s what I use

lusty grotto
#

its a WA

#

so i mean to answer the question, im sure there are a lot

#

i personally dont use that SRE one, cause i know the abilities and what to reflect already

#

but im sure people that dont know this info find it helpful

#

Sense's sheet is all i need 😄

blazing condor
#

sense's sheet plus "oh you can actually reflect that? cool"

pallid quiver
#

even if i don't know, i press it if i see a cast coming my way

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

pretty much

pallid quiver
#

and if i hear the zappy sound, i look to see if it did damage

lusty grotto
#

whats funny about the damage one

hazy bronze
#

It's a good noise

lusty grotto
#

is if you pvp and/or get close to duels

#

and its a warrior that reflects all demo imps or something

#

and it spams your screen lmao

#

idk why but it makes me chuckle

tribal wharf
#

what i need more than a reflect reminder is something that if boss is targeting me and he casts an ability that i can reflect it puts the same copy pasta in group as the spell gets casted, probably weak aura
mostly this would be for kickable spells but other reflects too ya

#

monster casting huge dmg with a debuff spell, im doin my reflects

#

what, oh no, its been kicked, and i lost the entire value of reflect now except maybe incidental magic dmg i shouldnt be taking or standing in anyway

#

i dunno how close that is to botting, since it'd have to not go off whenever SR isnt ready, so i never try to create something like this.

winged slate
#

I mean, that's what the WA above does

#

When SR is up and a reflectable spell cast is targeting you, you'll spit out a message in chat

#

It's a bit buggy, but that's the idea

dusky canopy
#

I had one in SL that would glow when I could reflect whatever was targeting me and it also would announce that I’m spell reflecting in chat if i hit the button

#

Lost it though after doing clean ui

#

Haven’t found a working one

#

Maybe the one above works idr if I tried that one or not

winged slate
#

It kiiinda works

#

I had to turn off the announces cause it was spamming stuff that wasn't targeting me or wasn't reflectable, but that was like week 1

#

The updates might have helped

opaque quest
#

I just added /yell SPELL REFLECTING to the WA from the stickies

#

But it doesnt matter. Randos dont care and interrupt anyways keks

plush sorrel
#

just get assist from your Raidlead and text it as a raid warning FingerGuns

blazing condor
#

Do a pull timer before every spell reflect

tribal wharf
#

what if there was a "bad kick" DR

#

you kicked into nothing boss is melee you and you kick for no reason at all, first time cd of kick goes down 50% next 25% next 10% then for 5 minutes none

dusky canopy
#

Macro /pull 1 into spell reflect keybind

#

Lmao

#

thats a good idea other than i think u need to be group leader

Best race for not having a button to have to press is zandalari troll I think. They have regeneration or whatever it’s called but their damage output is passive

#

Tauren war stomp used more often than that ability

#

And I guess void elf pretty good I hear

What is the maximum buff time of Shield Block ?

dusky canopy
#

Like how much duration can you have active at once?

echo egret
#

yes

dusky canopy
#

In season 2 with bolster + SC + a Block I was getting like 24 or something like that

#

I don’t think it’s capped you can just keep adding duration but you don’t need to do that

#

You want to just make sure it’s always active while you’re being auto attacked

#

Not necessarily the duration of it

echo egret
#

It's because I want a weakaura that shows the buff timer on the border of the button and I want a "full square" to correspond to maximum duration.

#

It currently goes back to full every time I press the button

rich solar
#

I dont think Shieldblock has a hard max duration

lusty tiger
#

It does

#

It just depends on what talents/ buffs you have

Yeah bolster doesn't apply to the cap. Otherwise it's 24 sec (assuming enduring defenses)

strong forum
#

yeah so the absolute max max max is 39sec

opaque quest
#

Im playing arms warr in TTWL rn. Pretty fun

rich solar
#

Ahh, so a bit variable okay

opaque quest
#

You dont wanna boost your SB to the max unless you got 2 charges ready tho

#

So dont just mindlessly press it. Make sure its up for every attack you eat

rich solar
#

i wouldnt bother with the max duration cirkle but just the timer with how long is left

#

IMO

echo egret
#

I don't like timers as numeric values.
I prefer bars or in that case, "circles". Thus the need for a max duration = full circle.
Without it, WAs just take the starting point as the full value, that's why pressing SB again refreshes the border to "full circle", even though that full circle doesn't mean the same thing than 1st press.

#

It's far from a big deal tbh.

rich solar
#

So, presuming you always run Enduring Defences, you want the ful cirkle to represent 24 seconds

#

The simple ass WA I have doesnt account for that as far as I can see haha

damnit

blazing condor

can probably still read the log tho

#

dont have time to analyse it so only two pointers i can give is that a) you wasted about a third of your generated rage, most of the rage was wasted on shield slam (probably overcapping)

#

and b) you had 80% blocked hits which should be higher

vocal flame
#

you mean shield slamming when im capped?

how the hell did you read that this is like alien text lmao

you click the "Resources" tab --> on the left side above the graph it says "Hit Points", you press the drop-down and select Rage

S3 Tierset Bonus will be available for S4 and it'll have the appearance of the S2 Set.

  • (2) Set Bonus: Spending Rage has a chance to cause your next Shield Slam to consume your bleeds on a target, instantly dealing 40% of the remaining damage of your Deep Wounds and Rend and 100% of Thunderous Roar's, and reducing your damage taken by 10% for 5 sec.
  • (4) Set Bonus: For each bleed effect consumed from a target, your damage taken is reduced by an additional 2%. When Shield Slam consumes a bleed, the cooldown of Thunder Clap is reset and the cooldown of Thunderous Roar is reduced by 3.0 sec.

Mostly IP

wasting in this sense means "missed out on"

because you had too much rage already

makes sense

IP off GCD so it makes a great rage dump

The problem is don’t overcast

So I am wasting rage by SS when my rage is high

yeah

They should have an inverse relationship

as well with everything else

you have 100 rage and use any rage generating ability its gonna be "wasted" by that amount

trying to learn prot for keys. how do i manage fervid bite procs?

blazing condor
#

manage in what sense?

forest sinew
#

was reading wowhead info about the spec and saw this

blazing condor
#

how it works in practice is basically that Ignore Pain has ~90% chance of giving you the Fervid buff

#

you'll always press shield slam / tc on cooldown pretty much

#

so you just pool up rage til you use ignore pain - get the buff - consume bleeds

not a whole lot of conscious thinking and planning with the tier set

The warrior stuff from the trading post works with it really well

#

So you don’t need to full set it

toxic pewter
#

the warrior stuff from trading post is also ass

blazing condor
#

all you really need to do is get a tracker to show that u got the buff so you know you can consume

#

but even if you dont have trackers you kinda do all that stuff automatically if you play well because you press TC/SS on cd anyway

so you'll always consume and reapply

Okay I see thank you, for blocked hit what is the max angle where i can block ? Because sometimes mobs move and go like almost behind me or side with me and even when i move there's always a moment where it happens

#

Especially the small mobs in the start

strong forum
#

180°

#

you gotta constantly reposition as a prot warrior

#

cuz mobs wont stack up in front of you on 1 place

#

they will constantly try to spread out around you as the mobs aim to stand next to each other, and not inside of each other

#

couple that with floor mechanics and storming

#

meaning you gotta circle or backpedal alot of the time in AD to make sure all mobs stay infront of you

#

i move a slight bit excessively in this key as ive noticed after rewatching it

#

but this is also the vod of my AD and you can often see me run around the mobs to ensure the mobs stay grouped up in front of me

so in keys, if im jumping into a big pack is the move just charge then immediately tc? to get threat ? im sorta panicking losing aggro in these 20s and not having threat yet when im doing a pull

Drop ravage prepull
Charge+Ava into TC>shield charge (demo in between if it's up)
TR if it's up (it's up a lot)
Challenging shout if you really need it

Those are options; you don't need to do all of them every pull (though you'll surely combine some/all depending on cooldown availability)

i was doing dbl dragon pull on way to 3rd boss in fall. and i charged into first pack and started making my way to the 2nd and it felt so scuffed
