oh the reducing dmg taken for 5sec?

#

nice

#

getting used to your WA, tried out the Luxos one but I found it was showing me so many random buffs I didnt need

long chasm
#

Can you loot legendary as tank? Or do I have to pug arms?

strong forum
#

yes

long chasm
#

Gotta set loot spec or anything? Just appears in bags Iโ€™m guessing

blazing condor
#

yeah u just get it

#

i got it as tank lootspecced into prot yesterday

long chasm
#

Okay phew thanks

tribal wharf
#

im not too crazy on weak auras personally

#

got like 5-10 thats it, some home made

#

weak auras almost border on unsigned code, basically what it is but it a small chunk

teal swift
jagged pier
#

Weaks auras have been a thing since wrath

teal swift
#

I'm not a fan of the addon either. But it's improved a lot of things. To the point where it's mandatory

teal swift
tribal wharf
#

my personal thought is the interchangable ui we have now

#

should be a huge fucking experiment by blizzard

jagged pier
tribal wharf
#

and in like 5 years they take all the data of what people have done with ui

#

and use that as the new set of base UI when you install

teal swift
#

If you need to be in a circle to hear about an addon, it probably wasn't mainstream. Lol

winged slate
#

Wow is also obviously designed around the use of external addons

teal swift
#

Weakauras, right now is completely ubiquitous.

tribal wharf
#

like they said, its not 2009 and we arent playing on a 20 inch 60 hz monitor at 1024x768

teal swift
#

Unfortunately

#

Game is fine, wtb 2009 wow community again

tribal wharf
#

i think the community partially angry due to that

#

but like, we always mad

I miss the community from pre lfg

i just figure you should be able to play on any server thats the same country as the other player any content

only thing that maybe stops you is final bossess of mythic first 24 hours

look at my playtime lol

#

but since they decided to charge extra for the UE5 version

#

i said fuck you

#

i aint buying the game again when they promised UE5 for free or at least DX11 version

#

and palworld is very similar to it so im good with it

tribal wharf
#

sorry guys

i was too busy following asmongolds every move

teal swift

and playing every game he plays and doing exactly as he does

teal swift
#

You seem like a manitoban

lusty grotto
#

asmongold plays palworld?

teal swift
#

Every content creator is farming it

winged slate
#

Asmon probably plays whatever is popular

teal swift
#

For content lmao

lusty grotto
#

well i guess he does since its popular yea

tribal wharf
#

uh

#

asmon is in some 31 million twitter angry boys thing

#

and they angry with him.... maybe? i gues?? i dunno i dont give a fuck

teal swift
#

You care enough to know that

tribal wharf
#

they called him literally brain dead

winged slate
#

Yogi when is the last time you watched him

tribal wharf

and made fun of his room and that hes worth 2 million

You were reading, Twitter, about asmon gold

blazing condor
#

what number are trinket slots again

#

13/14?

#

nvm

winged slate
#

Just shift click the item and /use <item name> instead of a specific slot

uneven mason
#

That sounds like a pain for when you swap trinkets

winged slate
#

How often are you changing trinkets that you need to macro?

#

That's like a once a season thing for me

uneven mason
#

I mean, I made my trinket macro in I want to say wrath

#

So

#

A lot since then

#

It still works

winged slate
#

I usually don't macro them at all

#

So exactly as much work for me

uneven mason
#

I suppose I could put them on like, Ctrl+mouse 7

winged slate
#

Are you multiboxing 30 characters on a single set of keybinds or something

lusty grotto
#

i have use 13 and use 14 macros

#

i see nothing wrong with them

#

dont have to change item names, and i put them on my trinket slots in my action bars

winged slate
#

I don't like having macros up that do nothing so I remove them the moment I don't have an on use

lusty grotto
#

or rather they are permanently there

#

eh i'd rather keep it consistent

#

even if the trinket is passive

winged slate
#

That's like having a keybind for a passive

#

Devastator bound for sure

lusty grotto
#

well i mean those 2 binds are specifically for trinkets so ๐Ÿคท

#

i dont really lose anything by having them

uneven mason
#

Imagine just macroing them to avatar

lusty grotto
#

i have an avatar macro for them, i just dont use it as much

winged slate
#

On other classes with more consistent CD timings I'll do that kinda thing if my trinket lines up

#

I don't like doing that with CDR ones though

lusty grotto
#

id much rather they are separate binds

#

have them as*

#

but thre is the odd trinket thats 45s or something that always aligns perfectly, it just hasnt happened in a while

#

well

#

i guess anvil was a good one, but meh

winged slate
#

I just don't like it if there's downtime

#

Stuff can get out of sync

#

Although last tier I was a crazy person who bound the bomb dispenser to like 5 of my regular abilities

ornate peak
#

yo guys, i need your help. what do i pick here. shield would be a 3 ilvl upgrade and shoulder a 6 ilvl upgrade over from what i currently use. is ilvl still more important even when compared to a shield?

urban portal
#

probably shield

weary saddle
urban portal
#

if that shield is a mythic track

ornate peak
#

it is

urban portal
#

thanks for linking what we already know

#

then yeah take the shield

#

shoulders are all basically the same

ornate peak
#

appreciate the help guys

urban portal
#

shield is a bigger spike

ornate peak
#

lusty grotto
#

congratulations, if you have rageheart, you no longer need to open the vault on prot loot spec

#

and you shouldnt

ornate peak
#

sadly have not been able to win that one yet :/

lusty grotto
#

dont worry

#

youre not alone

ornate peak
#

haha i bet

tribal wharf
#

i just got my xbox 360

#

might see what exclusives are for it and try to get those before the store closes

restive scroll
#

Is the 489 shield that important? I keep opening as fury to try to get offensive trinkets instead (I don't raid mythic)

jagged pier
#

Yes

#

Biggest single upgrade u can get because its the only piece that gives block

plush tendon
#

Shield is the most important slot; a lot of people dont open as prot though cause a nice 489 shield drops off Mythic Gnarlroot

#

but if you dont raid, then the only way to get max shield is via vault; crafted aint bad at 486 though!

blazing condor
#

i still have a 483 sadge

winged slate
#

Same, I ought to just pug some mythic treeman

blazing condor

im waiting for HoF before i dabble in that

lyric heart
#

hey all im going to tank larodar on mythic whot CD do we use on each charge?

hardy ridge
#

Shield wall every 2nd, something else for the others

jagged pier
#

sw or rage heart alternate

#

or if u take second charge i believe u can wall all of them

#

timing is more forgving

uneven mason
#

I think it's full bullshit that spell block doesn't work for it

timber nest
#

Looking at logs from Tuesday leech did 36M healing over 61 pulls

strong forum
#

But we already have +5% movesspeed innate + the boots movspeed enchant

#

We get 10% leech for free

timber nest
#

Ya it just gets tight if I get any beams through shrooms

strong forum
#

Do what you must

#

Enchants are w/e

#

In raid you technically want avoidance enchants anyway

#

Leech is better in m+, but in raid avoidance gets more mileage

#

(not like it matters for tanks to begin with in raid)

uneven mason
#

There's so much ticking raid damage in this tier

median tulip
#

Yeah, but all ticking raid damage is scaled to be a problem for non-tanks. So it's largely ignorable for tanks.

winged slate
#

It's not as much about it being a problem, it's just the value of avoidance vs leech

winged slate
#

Incidental aoe might be the freeist thing in the world to you, but if 200 avoidance mitigates 500k damage per fight that's kinda sick

strong forum
#

To mitigate 500k aoe dmg per fight via 4% avoidance you get from enchants need to take 12.5mil aoe dmg

#

Hm, yeah that's not all that much dmg actually

winged slate

I made up a random number for the sake of argument

# sick sentinel DHs get Fury off a successful kick

whenever i see dh and kick in the same sentence i think of some healer raging at some dh inside of shrine of the storm key, and the healer was mad that he wasnt kicking because it also "icreased his dps to kick" paraphrasing

#

2nd boss of shrine, so i see dh and kick same sentence i cant uncouple it from that raging healer

winged slate

Yeah you have to spend a point to get fury from kicking

shrine of storm so this was bfa

Does anyone know if defensive stance usage increases threat generation?

#

On the topic of Threat... Anyone else feel like you a glorified DPS when clearing trash in raid? I can't rip or hold Aggro from my co-tank (VDH or BDK) even if I'm doing 40k more DPS than them. Lol

tribal wharf
#

that is what tanking in wow and alot of rpgs is

#

fat dps guy

#

oh , well if losing aggro in raid, probably not doing something right, that dont sound right, if you hang around long enough raid ppl will appear

sleek current
#

In an ideal world if we pull 10 mobs, I'd get five and they'd get five... At the very least I should get Aggro on the mob I'm physically smacking. Gnarlroot DTPS is so skewed because I can't hold the flowers at all. ๐Ÿ˜‚

tribal wharf

they will tell you to post logs

#

i stick mostly to keys, so im never taunt swapping

lapis breach

In m+ content around 17-19 keys

The only threat to my aggro in keys is usually ret pally's. I haven't done a serious key though since like week 4. Got 3k and got bored. Haha. Not sure what it's like right now. Had no issue in the 20's I did yesterday.

My keys on tuesday had no issues, blasted 20s etc. np.

Do you have the auto toggle combat log add-on? You could probably upload last week's and this week's have a see if anything is different if you've done the same key.

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

my ai tank is spamming flash of light on him self fml

sleek current
# warm plinth I assume you already know how threat works at its core?

My understanding would be that it's the sum of the damage I deal plus my base threat for being a tank so, throwing a random number out there being if I did 100 damage that would be 400 threat because I generate 4 times more threat than a DPS because I'm a tank.

If that's not it, I'm open to an explanation and enlightening.

warm plinth
#

I think the modifier is a little higher than that (can't remember exactly what it is right now). But on top of that, say the VDH bursts on pull and ends up with initial threat. You would then have to get to 10% more total threat than he has to be able to peel, assuming you're in melee range (30% if you're beyond 10 yards)

tribal wharf
#

i normaly dont play healer cuz im bad at it

#

but this gives me chance to improve at it

Thank you

grizzled nova
#

tank threat modifier is 560% rn iirc

strong forum
#

650%

#

i think

#

they buffed it so many times in BFA and SL

#

cant keep count

#

it was like 250% or 300% at the start of BFA

#

and they buffed it by 50% increments

#

numerous times throughout

#

they even attached a 50% multiplier to heart of azeroth

#

to fix threat

#

absolute clown design

#

and its still not perfect

they keep cranking it

these are good stats ? 484 ilvl

or too much mastery ?

ionic fern

Good stats for what?
Ilvl>Haste>Vers=Crit>Mastery

If you want to go for DPS, sim yourself.

topaz wolf
#

prio is only for dps ? doesnt change ur tankyness ?

#

im starting as prot war never played it

ionic fern
#

That is the "generic" stat priority.
All of our stats are useful, so you:
1)Equip your highest ilvl main stat pieces;
2)If you have multiple same ilvl pieces, you follow the stat priority;
3)If you strictly want to go for DPS, sim yourself;

Hi im Ika and i only q for +2

by levelling as protection i'm gonna have 0 idea what my abilities do

blazing condor

Why do you level as prot

And why do you care about pvp

cuz then i can queue for dungeon as tank

Imagine playing pvp in wow. Thats worse than playing pvp in destiny

why?

Don't mind Rooach, they just like to be a negative Nancy

Na Rooach just knows that some modes are so badly neglected that they almost arent worth your time. If hes having fun in pvp thats good i dont want him to stop having fun

so how do u achieve 100% uptime on shield block?

jagged pier
#

be lvl 70

desert token
#

i feel like it runs out way too fast

#

for how slow it recharges

opaque quest
#

You need big haste for 100% block uptime

#

The game doesnt start before lvl 70

desert token
#

i have 10% haste

#

but it still says 15 sec recharge

opaque quest
#

Nothing before 70 counts

#

We are talking like 40%

desert token
#

why is it not getting reduced to 13.5 sec

opaque quest
#
  • talents
desert token
#

wait it's 16 sec base

#

but with 10% haste it says 15 sec what?

#

shouldn't it be 14.4 sec?

feels like i am getting scammed

I wouldnt take too much stock in this.... subcreation tier list is a popularity contest

the only reason Im not too upset by swapping is that VDH is super fun

cant believe I miss reprisal : ^)

It's easy to miss peak pwar, not necessarily the survival aspect tied to reprisal, but the gameplay itself was peak

Necro banner gladge

is 8 ilvls really enough to start struggling with threat or am i just playing like a potato

plush tendon

probably playing like a potato

aand by struggle i just mean aoe sometimes gotta swap to regain

plush tendon
#

are we talking dungeons?

left trout
#

yes

plush tendon
#

you really shouldnt have threat issues

left trout
#

its only on pull sometimes the 485s be pulling 1 or 2 mobs off me

#

and im 477

plush tendon
#

on pull in can be understandable with certain classes if they are unloading right at the start

left trout
#

for context

plush tendon
#

yea, that happens

#

thats on DPS though

#

but you just taunt those back/get aggro back

left trout
#

ok i was like confused because i played pwarr in bfa then ive been bdk after and it seemed easier on pull back then

opaque quest
#

Probably because DK has 2 charges of BB and Warr doesnt have 2 charges of TC

#
  • DK had bone spikes for DnD in Bfa
left trout
#

oh i didnt mean for the reasoning of bdk vs pwarr i just was mentioning i had swapped classes recently

tribal wharf
#

there was that time i asked gpt to write me a story about a protection warrior re-rolls into BDK and the story said "he boiled blood everything" and it turns out when i do keys thats really how i do it

#

BB was my number 1 dmg for some leveing dungeon

left trout
#

right now its either BB or your DRW

opaque quest
#

Ive seen yogis talent tree. No way its DRW since he doesnt talent bloodshot critcake

tribal wharf
#

umm i cant recall without loggin into him

its not very good,, but then again iplay him like once a year

for like lfr or something

oh you got bloodshot now and no more umbilicus eternus

All good

New to tanking here. Do I need to be using Shield Block on CD or do I hold it for big pulls/big damage?

opaque quest

You should have shield block up everytime you get hit

plush tendon

If you check your log and see 95% youre gucci

tribal wharf

you cannot block an attack if you are facing away from it or are sitting down

wdym sitting down

I always chill while fighting

I spam /sit

tribal wharf

sit down to eat or sit down button

Sit down button?

tribal wharf

you can bind it

opaque quest

lol didnt know

Yogi my man teaching me wow

uneven trench
#

So I don't have a way to walk backwards. Is it okay to turn and strafe with enemies on my side? Or should I swap my S key back to backpedal?

opaque quest

Na you can strafe

#

Best way to do it to jump and turn around mid air while strafing

tribal wharf

X by default

opaque quest

oh x

Yeah well X is my anti magic shell and forty shout deadge

no not ams its pet

ZXCV keys are way too valuable not to bind im sorry

all games really

opaque quest

I dont have z bound. I got 15 macros on my 2 button mouse keks

plush tendon
#

I dont bind ZXC

opaque quest
#

I only got X from those aswell

tribal wharf
#

more for like tertiarity presses of stuff, like you not press it every lvl or maybe once in an entire duke nukem llvl

plush tendon
#

I do use V though

opaque quest
#

But i got mousewheel up down + alt + ctr + shift modifiers so mouse wheel alone is 6 buttons. Same thing for both side buttons. So i got 14 buttons on my moba mouse

plush tendon
#

but with ZXC where my hand sits, I would have to like bend my finger all the way to my palm

tribal wharf
#

i changed my PFP for now

opaque quest

You guys should try mouse wheel

tribal wharf

probably chane it to ricky trailer park boys or some other gigachad later

Holding shift then rolling wheel for a CD or something is satisfying af

other logi mice have that feature too

Sorry for the game of 20 questions but...
Am I crazy or does Prot warrior feel like something is missing? DH has darkness, Prot Pally has ranged AoE kicks, BDK is simply unkillable. Meanwhile it feels like Prot war has to WORK to get shit done.

I have a G502 KDA edition somewhere but its to heavy for me when i play titanfall

tribal wharf

our nice is spell reflection

opaque quest
winged slate

Wait until you find out that blood is, in fact, very killable

opaque quest
#

Other tanks are better but we have more swag so its fair

tribal wharf

we can reflect giant fire balls and debuff spells aimed directly at us

and we not only take no dmg but it adds to ours

#

So we're just a DPS with a shield then? Because I was pumping and I'm not even good yet. Was doing like 300k on some pulls.

opaque quest
#

I got my new controller last week. Wanted one with hall effect. 30 bucks and quality wise its superior to every controller i ever had. Even the 200 bucks elite

winged slate
#

That's the cool thing, our DPS is pretty meh

opaque quest
#

Other tanks are dps too. But yes. We are dps with shield

#

You should watch a VDH or Pala pull big

uneven trench
#

Oh I've seen

winged slate

We're just extremely durable

tribal wharf

and it feels really good when you do it right

violet ginkgo
uneven trench
tribal wharf
#

we are durable if buttons are pressed, if not we fall apart very quickly, but thats any spec really isnt it

#

tank or not

winged slate
#

If it can be blocked, we're pretty much unkillable

opaque quest
#

All you gotta do to not die is hold up shield block and not get hit in the back. Especially in 18s

#

While spamming SS/TC

tribal wharf
#

we have shield wall is the big reason to take protection warrior, SW is insane

winged slate

Lolno

opaque quest
#

SW is pretty meh compared to other oh shit buttons

Its just ready alot because of am

tribal wharf
#

50% global dr for 8 seconds isnt insane?

uneven trench
#

So do we just pop all our 1:30 CDs at once or should I split them to build threat from pull to pull? On DPS I know it's just send everything always but idk ab tanking.

winged slate
#

Yogi nobody picks a tank because they have a wall

#

Every tank has a wall

tribal wharf
#

and it recharges so quickly

jagged pier
#

U never stagger cds

#

U less damage by that

U send

If ready then press. Like a program keks

Always full send gotcha

God i want LS back as a dmg cd lol

tribal wharf

no mercy

outer vortex
#

Writhing he

uneven trench
#

So TC/Taunt/SS is enough to reliably hold threat between CDs?

opaque quest
#

So i just checked. Dont think 300k is alot btw. I found a log from last season with me doing 230k^^

#

Easily ye

uneven trench
#

It's not a lot like I said I'm very new to this

I've tanked a total of 6 keys

No raids yet

Just saying there is more in stock for you to get to

More practice more bonk

if you have logs or videos of your ventures to share

Dw log is fine

uneven trench

I'd have to wait until I get home. I'm not navigating WCLogs on my phone that shit is nightmarish.

a log does usually trump a video though

opaque quest
#

Dw its nightmarish on PC too. Took me 5 mins to find my old log and then search for the pack i was looking for

uneven trench
#

Well I'm comfortable with reading logs I review mine and compare them to top parses after raid every week

#

I just don't know how to read Prot logs yet

violet ginkgo

logs have that too i think

but log shows the ultimate truth

theres almost no guessing when you have a log file

Not even almost there is literally no guessing

I still need aug, how to get luck for aug

Aug is augmentation

Not augury

I just got my 489 Augury and can confirm that shit PUMPS in AoE

Guess all I need now is a cheat death and then we're gaming

Or idk is Ursine Vengeance good for us? Bc I'm rocking that and Augury and it feels fine

winged slate

It was bugged for a while, and it's certainly not rated very highly

U dont want or need cheat death

Its terrible and bad for the game in general

Cheat death is only there if the healer is terribad kek

U dont need a defensive trinket until like 26s

i think so games really are better when its just 1 to 3 boards and 1 to 3 buttons and some movement buttons and maybe a trigger and start maybe select button

you look at the new controllers and they have, so many buttons

blazing condor

poor boomer hands

was better back in the day when we had Pong

and you had two buttons

up and down

PlayStation controller was just a SNES controller with handles

But yeah that first Xbox, perfect for my gorilla hands

tribal wharf

would be amazing if they just delivered my controller and battery charge thing like, today

#

like, rgiht now,, wont happen

uneven mason
#

Because I play fighting games with my knuckle on the dpad rather than the tip of my thumb I'm always jabbing it

That's why I liked the original Xbox controller, and Dreamcast, they were large enough I could actually use my thumbs on the buttons

opaque quest
#

Not even close

All the OEM controller these days are shit

#

You can get snakebyte or kong for 30 bucks

#

With hall effect. With mechanical switches and so on

#

Xbox layout is godly tho

tribal wharf
#

xbox 360 wired male controller is one of the best controllers to ever exist

#

the wireless ones are generally good too, some issues with buttons, sticks but not to hard to mod

opaque quest
#

No hall effect sticks no buy

#

360 controllers are decent tho. Mine has been working for close to 10 years now

tribal wharf
#

ppl dont know it yet, but ps2 ps3 xbox and 360 will be highly sought after years from now

#

cuz its pretty high cap tech, like im sure a ps3 or 360 could run many of those arcade machines from 90s 00's well

opaque quest
#

There will always be some cheap 3rd party tech that will be able to do the same. Trust. If not they will make refreshes like the mini snes

well like the cpus and boards and knowledge of how to maintain them

thats when things started to get really technical

Side note, does anyone have a good google doc for spell block?

I can't tell if its ALL spell dam, or just targeted spells

There are some spicy keys for tanks, but generally it comes down to DPS'ers dying to damage rather than the tank, which becomes the limiting factor.

I feel on my prot warrior I sometimes struggle to get snap threat when there is a ret paladin in the group.

Me and bm have enough dps
