and I can't get a pug that has half a fucking brain

#

I'm doing near top damage as a warrior

#

AS A WARRIOR

mental peak
#

pugging hc fyrakk is rough

opaque quest
#

Go with nome and dog. I think they did a run this week?

pallid quiver
#

Usually, for most pugs, it's Tuesday or bust

#

it sucks a lot if you work/are unavailable tuesday and what not, but

#

it is what it is

opaque quest
#

Agree. Open your vault then run. Everything else is suffering

uneven mason
#

does Nome play on NA?

opaque quest
#

Oh fuck

#

Forgot. Na EU

uneven mason
#

yeah

#

I wish I was on EU

#

it's where all the action is

#

but I tried it back in like 2014 and my ping was in the range of 1200

#

unbearable

opaque quest
#

Maybe Nim is still running Fyrakk. I know hes on US

#

Otherwise i'd just buy a boost honestly

uneven mason
#

nah I'm legit only doing it for the chance at the lego

#

I've got AoTC and shit

#

I'm not THAT Motivated

#

for the 1/100000000 chance

opaque quest
#

Ahhh

#

Fuck it then

#

kekw

#

Why bother

#

Do normal and call it a day lol

uneven mason
#

I mean, also want a rageheart

full flax
#

hi, does anyone have any advice for living ancient protectors in EB at 25+?

uneven mason
#

What is killing you?

full flax
#

charge + melee + 1 tick of damage is killing our tank usually

uneven mason
#

gotta use CDs on the charge, would have to see a log

#

if its a warrior they'll want defensive stance + SR for all of them, be sure to keep rotating SW/Splock/Demo, pumping IP as much as possible before charge.

#

slapping IV jhust after would be a pro move as well

tacit smelt
#

Anyone know what the name of that boss spell queue addon that pika usually has?

uneven mason
#

ask Plka?

tacit smelt
#

He aint on

#

Meh, after blackfuse & klaxi, thought garrosh was pretty chill.
But I was progging 25 , might have felt different

uneven mason
#

lol man

#

Blackfuse

#

I had wiped the conveyors from my memory

#

thanks for reminding me

opaque quest
#

Blackfuse was easy. I played hunter there and just did every single band in 10 man

restive scroll
#

:D

opaque quest
#

Garrosh was rough because you didnt have enough stops for jade temple

restive scroll
#

Yeah, wasn't the same in 25

opaque quest
#

In 10 man

uneven mason
#

10 was certainly harder

opaque quest
#

Aye

uneven mason
#

Shaman\

restive scroll
#

Yeah, not really that problem in 25, a bit of organization was enough there

#

Klaxxi traumatized me

#

last mythic tier I progged

#

in 25*

uneven mason
#

the shaman on 10 stopped us for a solid 3 weeks

opaque quest
#

We played shaman with 3 tanks

#

Took longer but was free

restive scroll
#

Same, and agreed

uneven mason
#

yeah, we shoulda done that

#

but they were convinced

#

we could do it with 2

restive scroll
#

First real issue was malkorok

opaque quest
restive scroll
#

But then again, we didn't do a great rank anyway, so maybe not relevant

opaque quest
#

I hated malkorok

restive scroll
#

I can get behind that

#

:D

opaque quest
#

Cant wait for MoP classic ngl

restive scroll
#

ye, I miss vengeance

#

that was fun

opaque quest
#

Ahaha

#

My prot pala mate did more dmg than the 3 dps in challenge mode combined

restive scroll
#

Yeah, vengeance

#

Our prot warrior was first dps on the garrosh 25 hc kill

#

(I was playing fury in raid, all tanks in CM)

opaque quest
#

Just checked. Sadly all the MOP logs are gone

restive scroll
#

That was fun.
Taking more damage just to get more damage

#

IMO that was a great mechanic

#

Making you take real choices

#

"Can I handle this, and if so, is that worth it"

opaque quest
#

Yeah defo, would encourage all the slow tanks to pull a bit more too

restive scroll
#

a different way to see tanking

#

And environment

#

"How much useless damage can I take"

opaque quest
#

Our prot stood in the fire on the sides until we pulled garrosh gladge

#

Next to me but i only did it for rage since i played fury

#

Just had a thought if we got vengeance back. Imagine all the healers complain and leave keys because they cant keep up because they got so used to just being bots that dont do anything in low to medium high keys

restive scroll
#

Like I had a rogue complain to me because I had bladestorm while he was inge duty, so he couldn't dps

#

And bladestorm was kinda great for MC and a few other stuff too

#

I liked Garrosh as fury, that was chill

#

Or maybe it was because Klaxxi was so horrible, making him look chill in comparison

opaque quest
#

I dont remember Klaxxi being so rough

#

But i played arms and just enjoyed sweeping strikes with my brain turned off

pallid quiver
#

korven the prime scary

#

he stunned you and then beat the shit out of you

#

i can't block while stunned, boss ;-;

dusky sentinel
#

Hey guys, Can we have to much haste? Like. Do u go any other stat at some point, im at 7k unbuffed

opaque quest
#

You get to 7101 haste as closely as you can then you take whatever the robot tells you to take for the most dmg. Defensively all stats are so close together that it doesnt matter

plucky idol
#

483 branch or 485 ember of null trink for m plus

#

483* ember*

strong forum
#

Branch is more dmg

#

Stat sticks aren't really that strong for tanks

plucky idol
#

kk ty

restive scroll
#

I think i recall blackfuse being worse in 10, and klaxi in 25.
But it's been a decade

waxen frigate
#

guys i have an important announcement

#

the canned fish saga has come full circle

#

this just showed up in my YT recommended

#

is it time for a sequel

#

who even started that shit was it @proper roost

proper roost
#

hell yeah are you enjoying your canned fish

#

that shit owns

opaque quest
#

Asking someone if he enjoys canned fish is like asking someone if he enjoys music

proper roost
#

i've also been really into buying bags of frozen peas at the store lately

#

You can throw it in literally anything and its a bunch of extra protein and fiber and low cal, ezpz

opaque quest
#

This you?

teal swift
#

Why can't this be 10lb of bacon

opaque quest
teal swift
#

I don't have emotional energy to cook

#

So I'll just be hungry for awhile

opaque quest
#

Just recheck the fridge every 2 minutes. Maybe something cooks itself

#

So far it hasnt worked but im hoping

teal swift
#

I don't have energy to get out of bed either

wooden trail
#

is still possible to take the different trasmo for the legion artifact?

opaque quest
#

Extrapolating from your sentence i assume you want to know if you can still get different skins and tints for the legion artifact? If so yes, except for the mage tower

wooden trail
#

i wanted the worldbreaker one :C

opaque quest
#

Oh yeah its obtainable. Just check the cave each day

#

Took me a few weeks. Dunno if they increased the chance for it to appear

wooden trail
#

oh wait i thought that was the tower one

#

nvm im happy again

opaque quest
#

Mage tower is the flail with the oink oink shield

pale karma
#

To people who want the mage tower appearances, Blizzard says f you, get a time machine. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

Though the argument against Blizzard making those available again is also valid - they should just be adding new stuff that's just as cool looking.

wooden trail
opaque quest
#

Do step 1-4 once

#

Then just check cave every day

#

Tho artifact knowledge is gone so 2-4

wooden trail
#

alright thanks

pure fog
teal swift
#

And re released it

#

A druid form is different than a weapon appearance.

But really, it's so much uglier than the original, they atleast got the aurostor appearance now

opaque quest
#

Aurostor is kinda ugly too. Hes green yellow

#

I want blue mane

teal swift
#

Okay true, but the model is nice

orchid mural
#

grr, start the week with a 26 WM, which i have already. fail it, time the 25, get a 26 BRH, which i have already, time it, get a 27 WM. grr!

cant get into decent groups of keys that i need cuz of being warrior tank.

really hate how there is a tank meta, whether it's true or not, the perception is real.

Does spell block works on the dot of the spiders in BRH?

okay thanks guys, just got trucked by it a few times and was curious if it was missed taunts or not

Cool, would something similar be ok for classic wow you think?
I play on a handheld and Im having difficulties being fast enough to swap bars and what not.

vocal nimbus

cant wait to get myself a nice 5% stamina bonus copium

violet ginkgo
#

I mean it's a free priest buff level so not bad

blazing condor
#

the biggest part of the buff is that we dont need a priest now

violet ginkgo
#

Yeah true, it's not like the priest will PI us anyway right even if they are there

opaque quest
#

Also idk how much blizz cares but automating gameplay is against the ToS

this is the server for warriors playing wow

mostly retail

so its just warrior related stuff

spare abyss
#

I see!

#

I might need that aswell ๐Ÿ˜… i want to tank but no really know how. Havent played since well over 15 years.

blazing condor
#

well then youre in the right place at least

#

although it'd be easiest to start off by reading the written guides like on IcyVeins or Wowhead

spare abyss
#

Oh, in terms of talents and items i think I got a grip on

#

But ive seen very few guides go into rotation

opaque quest
spare abyss
#

Wow! Thanks a bunch! Cant believe I missed those. I can swear I was used google for an hour yesterday!

blazing condor
#

wonder how many times in wow history those 9,999,999g auctions of gray items have actually sold

#

(unless its for gold buying)

spare abyss
#

Thats a fair bit of gold ๐Ÿ˜ต

#

Ive only seen 200g items in season of discovery

blazing condor
#

on retail people got hella money - goldcap is also 9,999,999

#

there's a "black market" auction house that sell rare items like mounts and stuff that are no longer obtainable

#

old naxx t3 and stuff

#

things usually tend to go for goldcap if its rare enough

tribal wharf
#

fuck you

#

deletes my video

spare abyss
sudden grotto
#

easy is always relative

#

u can easily boost or play the auction house if u put enough time commitment and are good at it u make gold faster

spare abyss
#

I see

blazing condor
#

but i never put in the work really

#

as krathus said a lot of people spend their time gold-farming and putting in hours to boost others

opaque quest
#

Ive had 4 mil

#

Then i spent it all on T3

#

Now i hover around 30k

strong forum
#

๐Ÿ’ธ

#

That's how I get my gold

jagged pier
#

how did t3 cost u 4mil

strong forum
#

Buying the individual pieces from the AH instead of naxx grind

blazing condor
#

couldve been before the new naxx was a thing

strong forum
#

Then it's mad overpaid

#

If you play it well you can bmah it for less than 2mil

covert flower
#

Have a kinda average geared prot warrior it's like low 460s and I was getting absolutely shit on by grip on DHT 2nd boss

#

Is that normal?

#

Uh key level was like a 19 so not even big either

blazing condor
#

its one of the more difficult bosses for pwarrs but its easy if you know what to do

#

which is basically just rotate defensives correctly

#

its all nature damage

#

so spell reflect/spell block helps mitigate

covert flower
#

Yeah so reflect is huge

blazing condor
#

you should be able to wall like every other grip

#

reflect for every

#

you can also leap away from the nightmare breath so you dont take any damage from it

covert flower
#

Still felt like the dmg was really high, maybe I could have built more ignore pain going into the grips or something

#

Yeah I leap the breaths

blazing condor
#

you can also impending victory in the grip

#

sit in defensive stance

#

etc

covert flower
#

Yeah yeah I know all that, maybe the healer was struggling

#

Didn't assume and just thought it was a me thing

blazing condor
#

well many pwarrs have asked the same thing in here

#

just gotta rotate defensives

#

and i mean having a good healer helps too ofc

covert flower
#

Yeah I had a rsham might have been better with a disc or something

strong forum
#

Disc can PS you on 2nd and 4th grip if need be

#

Rsham can just spam you with healing surge so shouldn't have been that bad

#

You can also still attack the boss whilst in grip

#

So make sure you pop last stand, impending victory

#

And send an outburst for more rage gen aswell

#

You should also have demo shout for every single grip ready

#

If you hold it for grip

covert flower
#

Probably was just me being caught off guard. I've always dpsed and it was the first time I've tanked in there close to a 20 so I never really even thought about the damage it does before

strong forum
#

Yeah

#

Knowing where to pop what CD is what it's all about

covert flower
#

Same thing happened with Rezan I always just dpsed on my hunter in like 25s and thought it was a free afk boss for tank

#

Didn't know the bleed DESTROYS

strong forum
#

The bleed does dmg + you take 50% additional physical dmg

#

So uh

#

Yeah

blazing condor
#

semi related quesiton but has rezan always targeted the furthest away person for the pursuit

#

i know its not a 100% thing but you can always get it on you if you're furthest away

strong forum
#

Always 1 of the 2 furthest

#

Yes

blazing condor
#

kk

#

just dont remember it being like that in bfa

strong forum
#

It was

#

They didn't change anything in atal on bosses

#

Except yazma no interrupto

covert flower
#

Oh 1 other question, regarding Goliath in WCM

#

What's the idea with pwarr, should we be burning the stacks off or just facetanking

strong forum
#

If you can kill the boss before you need to reset, no point in resetting

#

Highest I've done a no reset was 24 with a pug

#

But you can go higher

#

But usually for high keys, you just reset at ~30-33 stacks

covert flower
#

Just was curious I've only done a 19 in there and I'm gonna be pushing up to that range when I can and was just wondering if we're like capable I guess

strong forum
#

After 3rd spike

#

Like everyone else

#

Just for consistency reasons

#

Pwar is insanely good at facetanking Goliath

covert flower
#

Yeah it's all physical blockable shit right

strong forum
#

So if your group has big dam, you can get away with only resetting once or not at all

#

It's basically only auto attacks

covert flower
#

Crush never makes my health move

strong forum
#

The "crush" cast is only like 5% stronger than a normal auto attack

covert flower
#

One last one, might seem like a weird question but

#

Add management last boss tides

strong forum
#

Yeah, that's fucky

#

Taunt/heroic throw ranged adds

#

And leap to them if they need interrupt

#

And run back into boss

covert flower
#

Like I save ravager for one set, I use aoe interrupt taunt for another, do I just need to rely on like ranged kicks?

#

Or that a melee runs to one and picks it up for me

strong forum
#

I wouldn't save Ravager for them

covert flower
#

It always seems a bit clusterfucky

strong forum
#

But yeah the adds can be real cringe

#

That's a get threat and hope range interrupt, or send stormbolt

covert flower
#

My bud I run with on my hunter just cheeses it because he's a DH and I'm sitting here like

#

Nice man, must be nice

strong forum
#

Bdk has it the easiest

#

Mfers just grip both adds in

Cheers for the info, honestly loving pwarr it's actually so fun

It's so satisfying mass pulling and just feeling like a complete brick wall to melees

i literally went over this

Hello fellow prots. May I ask You about some issue? And probably a tip about specyfic dung boss as well. It's not in FAQ. My issue is multi target aggrro. Especially with WW monk or Havoc. I use avatar-empowered clap + roar but without ravager / shield charge they keep stealing aggro from me. Taking about pure skill usage, without mentioning trinkets. WW is so horrible that I am able to lose aggro on heavy pull let's say "EB" even with the help of TOT from rog.
And about this dung boss, do You have any working way to survive Deios from rize? On tyra weeks 26+ I don't know how to survive without procking cheat death trink. What's the worst it procs most offten on 1st or 2nd add.

strong forum
#

Sw first breath + add, then you should be able to leap the 2nd breath breath as you're running towards 2nd add

#

Should be able to leap the breath on your way to the double adds and then survive there with spellblock

#

And p2 should just be fine to live

#

Threat I personally haven't had issues with yet in keys

#

U use aoe taunt rotationally and when you have your offensive cds ready it should be impossible to lose threat

#

And given that TR is only a 1min cd

pine summit
#

Thanks! That actually instantly solved my problem.

strong forum
#

You should have it for every single pull

toxic pewter
#

ive never lost threat when I have used thunderous roar..

#

that ability alone solidifies threat

pine summit
#

And I don't normally use aoe taunt to taunt

#

Sadly I mostly use it to group up cursed casters

strong forum
#

Okay so

#

Only everbloom then

#

On 1 pull

pine summit
#

With aoe taunt avaible it's simple but I struggle during those "smaller" pulls

strong forum
#

You have sc and roar for every pull

pine summit
#

Without CDs, when DDs aren't giving me even a single gcd

strong forum
#

Should be fine no?

#

Well if they don't give you a single gcd

#

It's their fault

pine summit
#

I mean I charge with SC and clap, but havoc at the same time just goes in with fel rush empowered by aura

#

And... dies

strong forum
#

Hm

#

Haven't had that issue idk

#

What's your general overall dmg look like

#

Or do you have any logs

pine summit
#

Nope my wooden calculator was crushing while I was logging, but overall ranges around 130-160k

#

Depends if I go with augury or cheat death trink

strong forum
#

With or without Aug in group

pine summit
#

Without

strong forum
#

Mh that's okay then

#

Outside of brh and EB ofc

pine summit
#

Yeah

#

And WM xd

strong forum
#

Well wcm depends how well you abuse SR

pine summit
#

And how well dds can read "don't kick big one"

strong forum
#

My best in WCM was I believe 200k?

#

Can't remember if Aug was in there or not

#

Don't think it was

pine summit
#

When pull is going for a few sec I don't struggle at all

#

But during those first few GCDs

#

Like 1-3

strong forum
#

Yeah that's normal that stuff can be dicey

#

Doesn't help that thunderclap hits for 10k

#

๐Ÿ™‚

pine summit
#

Yeah

#

Well, so I just need to keep telling them to let me gather I guess

strong forum
#

Yeah like they're stupid if they think 1 gcd is enough to just be able to fullsend

#

Especially ret/fury/havoc

pine summit
#

Oh god

strong forum
#

They pump out like 2mil dps in the first 3 globals

pine summit
#

I forgot about ret xD

#

With leggo

strong forum
#

Wtf do they think is gonna happen when all the tank could do was tc

#

Sure as shit ain't sending wake

pine summit
#

I have this one DH

#

That was arguing with me about aggro generation

#

He said that TC (single TC without multiple bleed ticks) generates more than avatar + roar + ravager (1 tick)

strong forum
pine summit
#

And I just. Couldn't

strong forum
#

Yeah that's serious misinformation

#

Dmg = threat

pine summit
#

Especially that fel rush is uncapped

strong forum
#

There are no hidden multipliers on different abilities

#

Other than heroic throw or throw glaive

#

That's it

#

Nothing else

#

Okay well taunt

pine summit
#

And that argue was happening on fall when I tried to gather double dragon

strong forum
#

But everyone should know that

pine summit
#

And this talent "Tough as nails" has "Generates high threat" in decs

strong forum
pine summit
#

But let's be honest this is a dead talent

strong forum
#

Yeah okay but TaN has an 0.5sec icd

#

And terrible scaling

pine summit
#

It could scale godly, but it takes away spell block xd

strong forum
#

It still does the same dmg as it did in season 1

#

Well spellblock you can arguable not play in a handful of keys

#

Brh, wcm and Atal mainly

#

It's practically worthless in those

pine summit
#

In wcm

#

I find it usefull

strong forum
#

For what, witches?

pine summit
#

When I pull out huge amount of larvas

strong forum
#

Eh

#

Shockwave-> spellreflect

#

Into sw while running away

#

And then los

#

And then they don't go onto you anymore anyway

pine summit
#

Yeah but I mean like all this corridor, not a normal scenario

strong forum
#

So, a not realistic pull then

#

Anyway doesn't matter

pine summit
#

And true in AD and BRH I'd rather take bloodsurge > sb

strong forum
#

Huh

#

You have bloodsurge anyway

#

In every key

pine summit
#

Isn't that build without disrupting?

strong forum
#

Well yeah

#

Disrupting is only useful for like 1 pull in EB if you ask me

pine summit
#

Honestly I use it in every single dung.

#

On pug that is when I can't just asign kick order

strong forum
#

So you give up 7-12% rage gen, to get 1 extra kick on a 1.5min cd or give up like 8k ST dps +extra rage gen

silent vessel
#

have automarker and tell your pugs the signs to kick

strong forum
#

In a super coordinated group who pulls super big I could see aoe interrupt see mileage

#

For an extra stop in like throne and EB

#

But outside of that?

#

Hardly worth the cost if you ask me

pine summit
#

I mean

tribal wharf
#

what happens if you reflect the maggot

pine summit
#

I don't wwant to argue

tribal wharf
#

doesnt it instantly blow up?

pine summit
#

Coz I know You

#

Are 100% right

strong forum
#

No it's like 20% of the maggots hp

pine summit
#

But I just dunno on 90% of my keys

strong forum
#

Maybe 30, haven't paid too close attention

pine summit
#

I make as many kicks as rest of group

tribal wharf
#

oh, okay, that would explain it

pine summit
#

Combined

strong forum
#

Yeah that's normal for the tank

#

To be the first to snipe kicks

tribal wharf
#

i just remeber some time in bfa in some key i reflected and one died isntantly so it was probably already below 20%

strong forum
#

And then stormbolt/shockwave/fear

#

The other 300 casts that the pugs ain't doing shit against

pine summit
#

But they keep dying from casts .-.

tribal wharf
#

and someone noticed it in boice chat and we kept saying it

strong forum
#

At some point

#

You gotta be like "bruh I can only stop 5 casts, now you want me to stop 6? At the cost of like 7% dmg? "

pine summit
#

For example this week 1st pull with sentinel on ToT. When bolster hits hard 1 missed kick is death

strong forum
#

Huge brain tip

#

Hard CC one of the casters in the front

#

And assign 2 melee kicks on each of the remaining casters

#

Then take the 3rd caster with the Ravager pack

#

Only 2 casters to deal with

pine summit
#

I belive we're on absolutelly different level

strong forum
#

I mean it does take coordination

#

But you'd hope/expect that from people on 27+

pine summit
#

I can't stop pugs from rushing faster than me

#

How can I expect them to hard cc ';-;

strong forum
#

if thats happening

#

then

#

uh

#

yeah

pine summit
#

back to que?

strong forum
#

i guess so

pine summit
#

Oh and btw. I just figured You may know

#

Did blizz nerf something with Yazma's reflected dot?

strong forum
#

not that im aware of

pine summit
#

I mean last tyra week 1 reflect took 7-8% of her max HP

#

On 25

#

And this week I was on 26

#

ashen harness
#

Hey, question

So ignore pain spends 35 rage
Seeing Red stacks up every time 30 rage is spent
and at 8 stacks, you get a violent outburst

how come, that almost every single time i press ignore pain at 6 stacks, it skips 7 and goes straight to violent outburst?

that should happen one in every 6th time, but its happening almost always

#

im missing something here

hardy snow
ashen harness
#

every time it goes from 6 > 8 when i use ignore pain

lusty grotto
#

has been this way since s1

ashen harness
#

whats causing it tho? is it a bug?

lusty grotto
#

it was never looked at by blizz

#

its not a big deal anyway

ashen harness
#

well its a decent damage gain

#

i played S1 tho and i never noticed it then

#

i picked warrior up now and i noticed within a few days, so i dont think it was like this in S1

#

i did play around it too in S1, like if i was at 7 stacks, i'd make sure i had rage, do ignore pain into shield slam

#

so i'd surely notice

hardy snow
# ashen harness whats causing it tho? is it a bug?

it sums up previously used rage, if you spend 35 IP you get stack for 30, and 5 isnt lost, its added to next stack, 5 there, 5 there and you get two stacks per one IP usage in the end, because this last 5 sums to 30

ashen harness
#

you didnt read my message properly as i never disputed this

hardy snow
#

does it goes from 6 to 8 always when you use 6x shield block and then single IP?

ashen harness
#

every time i use ignore pain at 6 stacks

hardy snow
#

well, it hard to say how much you had cumulated, every 2nd revenge gives you also another 10 extra, mixing it with IPs makes that at 6 stacks you always have some cumulated

#

only way to confirm it works wrongly is to do 6x shield block into single IP

#

because using any revenge or IP in the cycle mixes the amount you have acumulated for next stack

ashen harness
#

nonono, if i use revenge and ignore pain at random, it still goes from 6 > 8 every time

#

no exceptions

#

i know how the acumulation works

hardy snow
#

then test it **without **acumulating anything

ashen harness
#

ok ill make a proven case, give me 1 min

hardy snow
#

btw. does acumulation drops off after combat?

ashen harness
#

not sure but explain this then

#

i just went from 5 to violent outburst

hardy snow
#

from just single IP? if yes, thats weird

ashen harness
#

i was planning on waiting until i got a double stack, cause then the excess would've been cleared. And count from there

#

but it just shot from 5 to burst

lusty grotto
#

like i said

ashen harness
#

here im just mashing buttons at random, revenge, ignore pain, shield block etc

lusty grotto
#

this has been happening since s1

ashen harness
#

and it always goes from 6 to 8

#

im almost certain it has not

lusty grotto
#

it sure has

ashen harness
#

this is from S1

lusty grotto
#

because i saw the case personally

#

and i answered a question in here

ashen harness
#

13 times i hit 7 stacks, 2 times i skipped the 7th stack

lusty grotto
#

concerning it

#

feel free to search my messages with IP in them

#

im not talking out of my ass

hardy snow
# ashen harness

chart doesnt give any reasonable information in this matter, but I've found such 5->outburst in my logs, at 10.093 I've got 5th stack, at 11.918 I used IP and got outburst out of it (there are 3 screenshots in it)

ashen harness
#

ok so optimal warrior rotation, is never use shield block or revenge at 6 stacks

#

always pain into shield slam

lusty grotto
#

wat

waxen frigate
ashen harness
#

well unless you wanna waste rage

waxen frigate
#

what

lusty grotto
ashen harness
#

why spend rage on anything, going from 6 to 7, when pain for no obvious reason skips 7 and puts you straight into burst

ashen harness
#

i dont know how that doenst make sense to you

hardy snow
#

why going from 6 to outburst with single IP, if you can go from 5 to outburst with single IP keks

lusty grotto
#

hey does it make sense to anyone here?

ashen harness
#

if you have 25+ rage pooled up in seeing red, IP will take you from 5 to 8

hardy snow
#

and going from 5->burst requires at least 61 rage spent

ashen harness
#

ip at 4 is also stonks

#

if you are at 4 stacks with 25+ rage pooled into violent outburst, and ip twice, that puts you into burst

hardy snow
#

have fun thinkng about it, im off to bed, good night

ashen harness
#

if you click ignore pain until you get a doublestack at any point, then rightclick away the buff, then you've essentially cleared that pool

if you then only spend IP to generate rage, you will have 25 pooled at 5 stacks, the following IP putting you from 5 stacks into burst

opaque quest
ashen harness
#

so actually, if you somehow could track how much rage you had pooled into seeing red, that'd be usefull information if used right

It's been around eversince Seeing Red was introduced..like last expansion.
I honestly can't remember if we figured it out or not.

It used to consider IP as "40" rage, instead of 35.
And there was also some hidden rage tracker for Seeing Red, sometimes it reset after Outburst, sometimes not.

WAs are there to help you with your tracking weaknesses.
So it depends on each person.
For me, that's defensive stance (because i forget i'm in it), violent outbursts, and rend

Wait rend? You TC often enough to make rend a none issue

Don't really need to know when fervid bite's up, but the rend part is somewhat important (for me)

Seeing as you basically TC on cooldown, and probably don't want to delay Shieldslam or fervid bite to wait for another thunderclap.

median tulip
# hollow hill Is there any situation where lariat is good these days over a shadowflame embell...

The difference between them is incredibly minor. I got a Myth track cloak really early in the season, and when I got the second spark I did I load of Sims, and while the Shadowflame cloak would have simmed 0.5% better on single target, the Lariat was ahead by a similar amount on 3 & 5 target sims.

In addition the Lariat has a defensive component, which Shadowflame does not.

I decided to go with the Lariat, mostly because as a max JC it's just easy for me to get.

Yea that is fair. I figured there was probably a very small difference in them, just been a while since I've seen anyone use it

On another topic, does anyone have trouble with pulling threat lately? No matter what tank I play with these days, I have to like, auto attack so that I don't pull threat. Even with tanks higher ilvl than me. Not sure if I'm just getting real unlucky with tanks in pug raids, but damn it's getting annoying

median tulip

It's not random, it's always the lesser stat from your gems. Assuming you have the same type of gem in every socket it's completely predictable

i usually end up pulling from my co-tanks especially on normal

hc have been fine mostly though

I was in a heroic tindral pug with another prot warrior who was like 487, so I figured I would be good there. But nope, ended up auto attacking a good portion of when he had aggro lol

you have ppl who dont waste any rage cus they just spam IP

maybe rage is the true prot warr metric in this 100% shield block uptime world

It wasn't really a rage dump, it replaced a rage gain with a minor rage spend and was tied to melee attack speed

So you can't press both at once

#

But anyway, HS will never return

#

So moot point

dusky canopy
#

Youโ€™d have me spending 0 rage on ip and only HS

#

Until you hit content where IP can be impactful

dusky canopy
#

Nope

#

Need better healer

There's a bunch of things I wish they would bring back into the warrior trees, ngl

#

To be honest the entire warrior talent tree needs redesigning

dusky canopy
#

They should put every single ability thatโ€™s ever existed in this game back into the talent tree

winged slate
#

Wdym it's perfect design that shockwave competes with 3 damage talents

dusky canopy
#

Fuck this trying to be a competitive well balanced Esport

#

Let us do fun broken combos

#

Maybe itโ€™s just me I guess lol

#

Avatar should be in the middle section, not the 3rd section. Ravager should be on the class tree, not the Fury/Prot ones.

The Class Capstones should be TRoar, Spear, Banner and Ancient Aftershock

#

Battle Scarred Veteran should DIAF. The centre capstone for Prot should be a choice node between "Anger Management now applies to Last Stand" and "Anger Management now applies to Ravager"

Last stand lul

#

why lul its what made prot 'OP' in BFA

uneven mason
#

Or am as a whole

#

Rather

jagged pier
#

yes but LS was on AM

uneven mason
#

Yup

jagged pier
#

so u got bolster and LS far to often

#

nothing about the talent really

#

it was the interaction of LS on AM

uneven mason
#

We had like 45s CD on ls and 80% uptime on demo shout

median tulip
#

Imagine Bolster, UnF, AM4LS, Banner

winged slate
#

I just find it to be one of the least interesting buttons on my bars

jagged pier
#

because its one of if not the worst 3 min cd in the game

#

LS is so ass

median tulip
#

When it wasn't a 3min CD it was great

urban portal
#

Is like an frenzy regen with a minor upside

median tulip
#

Hence why I want a talent to apply Anger Management to it again.

jagged pier
#

then thats another mandtory point

#

which

#

we dont have

jagged pier
#

well 2 because then u would take bolster
