T31 profile is around 4k crit, 6k haste 1k mastery and 3k vers
My haste is right up there with my crit
With crit flask
Hmmm kk I'll recraft a few items to haste vers instead of crit
Awesome thanks ๐
Raidbots simulates with crit flask?
By default, yes
You gotta manually select vers flask if you want to sim that one
It's simming with crit flask and haste+crit food by default
No such thing
with that much crit prob feeling slow as hell
How much mastery do I need to get 50% chance for critical blocking
I wanna be able to not move Goliath on 30 tyran
kekw
has the playerbase adapated fully to how to do sanguine yet
like they understand the danger and how to prevent it
not my favorite affix but i guess i gotta run it
Uh 6k?
Smth like that maybe?
Maybe 7k
Ty
looks likey they heavily nerfed duration of sanguine
doesnt seem to last nearly as long now, just a 15, but hey at leastam somewhat playin game
It's 20seconds
Since late s2
Or smth like that
It's "fairly" new that the pools also don't stack anymore
It was nerfed to 20 seconds, then to 12
Ah
I think 20 was going into DF, then 12 at the start of S2
would you play 489 weapon or end boss proc in 483?
Ppl are silly.
Once you have a 476 gholak the only upgrades are better gholaks.
+2 a 25 Fall - but since i didn't do their route, insta-removed from group
in a non-comms pug
gotta love ppl.
i did work with em, like we discussed
so i wasn't an ass about it, it's just entertaining is all.
i like to solo pull the lieutenants b4 second boss - did all that trash with 1 death but still wasn't fast enough lol
how is prot rotatitonally
nah i got 7303 Haste and 6000 Crit i was 44% crit i was mistaken
% doesnt really matter usually bc its like, alot of specs start with3% crit and 10% mastery of 1 could mean 400 stat or 1000, and its more about the rating numbert than the current %
Simple enough, SS>TC dump rage into IP at 70, keep SB up at all times, if SS and TC are both on CD press revenge to fish for a SS reset
thats heaps and miles easier than brew lol
Giving eyir too much credit. She sucks
fuk u @warm plinth
Jeeves is actually the most popular wow bot in the world. He's in like millions of servers
fuck
ya got one right here
Nvm
lmao
if i want to maximize dps, is there ever a world where not using shieldslam and going raw thunderclap > revenge is bis when doing aoe damage? It's definitely more damage short term but you lose a lot of cd reduction on avatar, and now fervid bite..
Revenge does like zero damage
It's laughable
Just ss more, bite more, reset tc more, reset dragon roar more
yeah thats wht i thought its not worth
revenge is 75k on 5 targets, i forgot the math beyond more than that though
Revenge barely procs bite
I basically only ever use it to fish for a SS reset when nothing else is up
yea its pretty much the same for me
Applied by thunder clap
Y'all run stamina gems or are we beefy enough without them?
does any tank run stamina gems
idk i dont tank
no
side note so im using the macro for SS procs
#showtooltip Ignore Pain
/cast Ignore Pain
/cast Shield Slam
Is there a way to make a similar macro for my normal shieldslam button for execute procs from sudden death?
cant
people dont use sudden death really
but 2 abilities on the gcd cannot be macroed
people deff use SD its way more dam single target
yeah i was thinking juggernaut for some reason
mb
but still you cant macro 2 abilities on the gcd together
yee fair
oh yea deff not juggernaugt
hey hey, new tech tho
ive done this:
#showtooltip Shield Block
/cast Shield Block
/cast Execute
will always prio SB over execute but will cast SB and execute with 1 click if i have SD proc or when below 20% if i have enough rage for both
and if i dont care about SB i can use my regular execute button to dump all rage into it
yeah that works
but u dont want to send execute in execute phase that much
its a lower prio than IP as fevid procs more often on IP and does more damage than execute
your just wasting with it on 1 button
there literally no point in that macro
May as well macro block to slam at that point
New update
We are now trash
The only tank in D
We are a garbage can
But not "garbage cannot"
They gave us a small buff
Protection
Vanguard now grants a 40% increase to Stamina (was 35%).
Ignore Pain absorption increased by 5%.
But what does it matter?
Not enough to climb out of D, apparently
Nothing matters in this life
It's all just an illusion
We lack of utility
And damage
We are the only one tank with stance who give us damage reduction ๐คฃ
Its insane dh wasnt nerfed
Both in pvp and pve
Its very clear blizz wants dh to be relly good
As he's one of the most beloved classes by the players
They want their popular classes to be happy
To keep the playerbase happy
Warrior is popular class
2% play rate
They just don't love us
Prot warrior
They just need to add a permanent passive that allows us to block spells
Sadly it sucks ass in pvp
So i gotta play arms
For me warrior need raid or group utility, like banner as MoP
And some cool spell like mass spell reflec
And give us something against affix on M + or to help our party ๐คฃ
qq: 476 Gholak or 483 Adulation Enforcer?
Gholak
anyone know if echo raid tools includes a tank/cotank wa for the raid?
Cringe website
Dont take the bait bebi. Its the second or third time he posted that same tier list and we told him its shit everytime
ty for looking out my bro
first one is being my homie
second one is average tierlist
What ever shall prot warrior do, it's 1 whole key level behind VDH
Completely unplayable #1 VDH vs #1 Prot Warrior
ikr, look at Guardian druid
its a whole two tiers
above prot warrior
Damn, how can we ever compete
All i understand is nerf warr
Maybe we can be 1 1/2 tiers behind
Instead of just 1
Dont forget, Blood DK is a whole tier above prot warrior
tierlists, need to gather data, curate it, run it through algorithms, then rate it.
Players just push, comparing #1 player of each class, you can see its really not far behind.
Which basically turns into
Stier: VDH, Prot Paladin
A Tier: Everything else
Then filtered through meangirls algorithm, becoming totally fetch
and effectively just a popularity contest
rather than if the clas is actually good lmao
I highly doubt it matters in a slightness which tank you pick when it comes 'will he survive' or how big the key is. It is more about will your group survive without extra 'utility' the tank provide and in some cases I guess damage the tank do. Any tier list should just be 'what tank can provide to the group so they can go bit unorthodox to survive/do more damage'.
Speaking of warrior.... I think it's been quite long time right where we have critical block as our mastery, do you guys think it's a good one or maybe need to be changed? I mean considering now we just never prioritize mastery as our stat.
Critical block is genuinely noticeable on soul bond Goliath
I hit 71 stacks before we killed it on a 24 fort, and I didn't feel much fear at all, wasn't even calling for externals or procxing cheat
Hey, just checking in looking for some help on maximizing my SS when outburst procs. I feel like when it procs its super hard to get shield slam to come off cooldown and not sure if my rotation is still just wrong or whats going on...
You have to like consciously pool rage at like 6 stacks
It's also helpful if you have other globals to use if you have to wait for ss to come up
Battering ram is nice
Etc
Professional mythic raid leader POV
Me in a mythic raid POV
hello, does the Prot warrior have a slightly better talent for dps, maybe for raids?
Dudes idk if im losing my mind but the game will not let me equip my lariat
and my only embelish is vers wrists
What is meangirl
Are you one?
Game knows lariat is F tier on every tier list
BRO
you cant equip the raid enchant with lariat
those two are conflicting
for me

Small indie dev cant test everything ok
Not their fault
They are only worth 70 bilion
No, the ones that are specified are pretty much for dps
How much of this do you think goes to actual work on the game, and how much goes to investors ? ;)
I only asked because the ones I watched in prot wars do 180k overall dps even in raids, and I only know 120-140 and they thought I'd ask if there's something wrong with my talent ๐
In your order. 0 and 70 bilion 
Not possible, mathematically proven btw, and wow is an incredibly big and complicated program, soooo, yes.
Even limitless pockets can't think about everything.
We know in software, that there'll always be bugs
See, you get it ! :D
Well thats why you pay playtesters for extended periods of time so they have the time to test everything :>
But i dont think the head enchant was being tested on ptr
"everything" does not exists in development
Not saying that they should have tested more, just that it's not possible to test everything
Ofcourse not. I shouldve specified everything that is important. Namely gear since there isnt much else to do than gearing rn
Nah you good.
At these levels, the difference becomes min maxing, skill, and luck
Skill is when luck becomes the norm 
Sorry, I'm just tired at that saying "small indie companies can't test everything" at every bug that happens.
Because I know how complicated those stuff are
Na its fine. Youre right. Ofc you cant test every single interaction from old and new stuffs
I don't know, no class is deterministic AFAIK
A movie about popularity and bullying
But as far as im concerned the main selling point of "gear" from the raid next to the legy shouldve been tested
Go watch mean girls, it's old AF now
Yeh, probably more, but they seemed to have moved on to next tiers/extension anyway, so, not surprising, albeit sad
Not like players matter after all :')
then I'll try, but it would be nice to draw a gold log instead of purple in the tank as in dps ๐
Come on bobby. That was brutal 
Im busy watching disenchamtment tho
Dagmar is thicc
Probably have to go to logs now.
Potions/elixirs start to matter too :D
(I tend to be quite ... thrifty)
(I still don't always use either in 27's)
I dont think ive ever used more than 1 potion per dungeon 
I try to make sure to have at least 1 phial tho
But that's so expensiveeeeeeee
Na i have either wifey or roommate make phials. They are both playing wow like a economy simulation
I'm already pre-potting in tanks and in every raid as well as in dung ๐
What flask are you using ? You might want to compare to the top logs
let's say yesterday we were in a very suffering tot xD
I use vers because I'm cheap
Vers is the recommended one dw
Well, if I want to dps, the corrupted rage seems better
I gain something like 40/50 ranks
Na. Uptime is shitty. Vers sims higher for me at least
Might be because i have basically no vers tho
๐
no
i use vers flasks
really need rage phail
even tho its sims less (for me at least)
You're simply better than I am =)
I also want such a log :'C
thats not what im saying im saying your statement about rage phial being 40/50 ranks it just wrong
it wont be for anyone
what items and stat distribution are you using?
Agreed, hence why I was very specific :)
I'm far from an expert here, but that seems like really low haste for 485 ilvl
Whoops, was replying to this about the haste
yourself included its literally a difference in kill time and u playing better. that phial the difference is like 1-2k at most thats not that many ranks
what ever my max ilvl items are
there is no thought
ok
just equip
Replace all secondaries with a stat called "power"
Too much simming
Just make ilvl only factor
is cross speccing to arms or fury easier
arms
most similar stat prio
instead of you having to stack mastery as fury
ty
but all our stats are very close to eachother
does berseker shout remove fear on party members from the dwellers in DHT?
im aware of the tooltip. wondering if it worked on that specfic fear or if it was a Horrify type effect and maybe didnt
its WoW, you rarely can trust a tooltip
dont see why it wouldnt work
so just starting to work on learning to tank any good tips for starting out?
read the guides
Practice Practice Practice
practice
I'd recommend making sure you're confident in your base rotation first on dummies, then go out while logging
guides like wowhead?
Yea
Tanking in general in M+ is mostly reading group pace, which varies wildly
I'd recommend Icyveins for Prot War, since it's written by a dedicated Prot Main
our good Mwahi here
Thanks! I will go give it a read
Also, are you planning on M+ tanking or raid tanking?
I have healed alot of mythic+ and have learned that the hard way
Isnt Llarold a dedicated prot too? Never checked
Raid tanking is dramatically easier since the fights are scripted; it's by far the easiest role in raid
If i find a guild / group I would be down for both
run from raid tanking, without parse farming there is no joy in the abyss
They're different environments like I mentioned, but
M+ is usually harder since there's more decisions to make as a tank and you need to better space defensives
as compared to raid where the damage intake is usually telegraphed
Well i really enjoy healing mythic so might focus tanking them to see if i can
I personally think healing is the hardest role in M+, so if you have experience there, in terms of sheer difficulty, it shouldn't be too bad,
But there is more you can ruin in terms of pacing/pull size, so keep an eye on that
tanking is just a lot more outside of combat
outside of doing your rotation and doing numbers
It's the tanks responsibility to ensure the DPS can do their best damage with the group provided so to clear the key as efficiently/fast as possible, but you don't learn how to adapt to that without trying
Agree on that one. If people used personals it would be the easiest lol
its more of a proactive, think-ahead and be aware type role
Yea have had alot of tanks just go and leave me scrambling for mana
which is unfortunate, because that's not a pacing problem, that's a "they can't press even two buttons" problem
All the tanks are very self-sustainable in pretty much any given pull at the immediate time frame barring specific boss mechanics/pulls
so if they just explode like that, they're usually just literally not even playing the game
If you have mana problems thats usualy a sign of bad healing not bad tanking. You can drink after each pack even if its just 1 second
some times it is just the pace that keeps you from getting any mana back lots of groups in pug just go for fastest time with you really being set up to do that
If the tank is able to actually press their buttons, you're usually able to just let them pull without you as you drink, but in the given scenario
that's not gonna happen
Since the largest majority of damage coming to DPS in M+ is avoidable (interrupts, not standing in swirlies, etc), and tanks played right are self-sustainable
but if those aren't happening, mana issues just compound instantly and it's real bad
If a tank doesnt press his buttons hes unhealable anyways tho
No point in trying to flash
then the DPS blame the healer while they do nothing to help and I have to send a whisper after the dungeon giving my condolences
It would. However, it only breaks party members after they get feared, it shows up like a 1s buff for them. Can't pre-cast it like normal Berserker Rage and be immuned.
the horror and the gore and surivval shooter find the exit is what makes doom doom
fighting against something you have no other words to describe what your fighting, a literal alien or hell monster
this trash came up from the basement after tagging everything and dying
this was the BAD sanguine group example compared to first
which handled it very well
Cute meowster
my cat is the same way when she claims a chair its best to just let her have the chair until she moves
Ket
you got any
can somebody remove spirited defense if it goes off
im not sure
not that huge of a debuff, but still basically a wall for them, nasty with sanguine
mages could spell steal it iirc
what mobility does prot have apart dash/leap
its pretty much just charge/leap
intervene that we dont talent into for keys
then why do people say prot has good mobility? doesnt seem like much compared to dh/brm
leaper talent makes us fast for a few seconds after landing with leap
not sur if thats what u want
Probably cause it has more mobility than BDK or Prot paladin
It's dispellable via purge effects but the issue is that it goes on every mob so unless you have torrent or mass dispel, it's a lot of globals to remove it.
i mean when you do those packs there's not a lot of interrupts needed
so you just interrupt/cc the spirited defense
before it casts
even dbm shouts at you
very dumbass proof
it does, leap is 40 yds vice the shorter dh/monk roll, and charge is versatile
pwar/vdh/monk are very mobile, in ish different ways, ppala is okay, bdk and bear are basically invalids
prot mobility still good tho, i get the point others made
charge is nice lol
!wa
pwar isn't uniquely mobile, it's just one of the tanks that does have mobility
The thing about mobility is that it is nice to have, but you can always play around not having it as well, so it's not 'real' utility
so we need more actual utility for the party maybe?
Why is it shit then
Being +2 behind is a big deal
It shows that when played to perfection its so much weaker
Can you explain how you drew that conclusion?
So this means the avg player will also be +2 behind compared to the avg vdh
So if ure struggling to beat a +18 for example
Ud be doing a +20 if u were dh
That is an incredibly incorrect take. And you clearly do not understand what that data is showing you.
Which is why "tier lists" like those are not useful.
So what does the data show
The data is showing a scale of tanks by representation in +20 to +31 keys. Which means that list is literally a popularity contest.
The "tiers" are just percentage ranges of representation.
They have nothing to do with the viability of the spec, either on its own or in comparison to the other specs in the table.
So this is the image you posted right
Ye
U might be onto smth here
Keep in mind, the chart you posted is only showing data from a specific set of affixes; my chart is showing overall
dk becoming less popular for sanguine
bruh you can yank mobs out of the puddle smh
We also don't know how they're polling their data, because you can see in the bottom right of my screenshot that their sample size is 35,293. The subcreation one is only 16,000
Which probably explains the slight variance between prot war and brewmaster
It appears subcreation only shows current week
While this has 177k sample size
Of all such weeks
How do u remove embed on phone
< before and > after the link
idk if you can remove it without editing; I generally don't care about embeds so lol
Takes too much space
But yeah, you can see why it's not really useful information in terms of how good or bad a spec is
But u know what annoys me
It's just popularity
U cant sort by given spec
Inside of timed leaderboards
U have to go to class or spec leaderboaard
Which takes way more time
Oh, yeah
Also raider.io's files get blocked by my dns filter
So it loads like shit unless i turn it off
But yeah looking at wowmeta
We are last in dungeons
And we are tied in 5th with guardian druid in raids
i remember when i was looking at tank representation in 25's and higher this season we had something like 40%+ vhd 25-ish% prot pala around 10% blood dk then the other tanks at 2%
Only better than blood dk
well, at least that website actually says it's popularity lol
instead of being like PWAR IS D TIER
I should have sorted by mortality rate
what does mortality rate even mean o_O
How much u die
kekw
Ur goal as tank is to not die
depends on how intuitive the spec is to play
well, idk if you've played with a lot of prot warriors but uh, a LOT of them suck.
even in keys over 20
Thus we are joint 4th/5th place with guardian druid
yikes
So how do I not suck?
Not dying is like 99% correct gameplay for any tank right now
Tanks are very sturdy this season
Blood dk is atrocious in raids for some reason
lol what?
Guardian druid 6.95%
i mean if you have 1000 bdks progging mythic for every 1 pwarr
im sure they're gonna die more
but idk how they measure mortality
Well we are the least popular tank
gotta be log analysis right?
But still only 4th in mortality rate
idk how else it would be pulled
is a wipe = death
added to mortality rate
cus in that case its still a popularity contest
yeah, it seems like a potentially scuffed metric (not that it's useful in the first place)
wow would be such a better game
if people just played what they wanted to play
and thats all that mattered to them - if they liked the class or nah
oh dear
Oh, wowmeta
I thought you meant Acherus and I was gonna be like you shouldn't have done that
Whos acherus
The DK discord
They are not exactly the friendly sort if you bring meme shit in there
I will go there
๐ซก
rest in peace
And let em know dk is the worst tank in raids
they'll probably just ban you 
Its only fair I shit on em too
I will go like
"Hey guys newbie blood dk player here, i've been struggling in raids a lot and I'm not sure what im doing wrong so i went to this website wowmeta and noticed blood dk has the highest mortality rate by far, is it possible that it's not just me who's bad but just the spec sucking a bit?"
Well as soon as I get out of bed anyway
I slept 15 hours
Still feel too bad to get up :(
Just so sleepy
I need more sleep
Ah but now its 21:47 if i sleep more i will completely ruin my sleep schedule
Aaah now I have to get up even tho i wanna sleep more
Those are some true gamer sleep stats right there
get the gholak ray
Gholak is insane, my 476 version would out-dps my 489 weapon no contest
i join the keys i know since i dont know all the dungeons
thats a good way to never learn new dungeons
not as experienced in pulling higher lvl keys of like legion keys relative to me high
like that dungeon with the shot gun archers legion one
i dont want to run that at all this week, mega dungeon i might do
Wdym?
i've done so much WCM that its unfailable key for me now
its like world 1 of mario, only die if really stupid
With that mindset, you should go play the mario maker where it's like 40 levels that are all world 1-1 but with interesting variations
yes well, but im considering getting into custom doom wad playing or creation
open list to list key
all dungeons are weirdly ordered + a buncha non-season dungeons
put dungeon
it's set to heroic
write title
change difficulty to mythic+
title resets
shit like that
Oh. Yeah, that stuff is irritating.
how about, if the game detects i do keys every week
when i open dungeon guide it goes to that season of dungeon keys
inteasd of the expasion dungeons
Or, hear me out
Hold ctrl and click on a keystone/keystone link to automatically create a group listing for that key/level
I wonder if an addon could do that. Probably not though
probably is an addon that could do that
But would be a sick idea
what i would want to see is optional "how'dido?" screen at end like a score screen, mostyl for if you play the AI mode
but like up to mythic zero and it tells you if you suck or not as a healer
I like that idea
like cuz might think your doin right things, and your not at all, but its more naunced than that too i recogniz
damn, swapped over from arms chat and already feeling attacked lmao
oh, and i want to get that haste versa ring hero as a drop from wcm also
rings i got arent bad, just, i really would enjoy to have that particular one
best part about playing dps is that you get to see all the silly pwarrs
wish me luck with this fella
hey don't spoiiler my upcoming build
Good luck
BSV omegalul
not even using ravagaer
but i think hes worried about sanguine so hes taking int shout to move them off it, and the aoe silence big taunt one for same more or less casters
thats my working theory
oh, hes also got the 2 sw thing
You guys donโt pick up the interrupting taunt shout talent for pugs? Imma have to check the pins and see what Iโm missing
i regret to inform that we did not time the key
Hmm
Tank diff?
honestly yes
but not cus he was a bad tank per se he just chain pulled the entire dungeon
R I P
My man loves pressing revenge
wonder how high the sanuine heals were if overpulling was an issue
only 7%
my logs arent logging
so, ya
video required kappa
all i know for sure is on 17 wcm run i did, i m ust have showed back cuz hp dropped like mega
yup, he hit me in the back of the head
It was at this moment, he knew he fucked up
thats like you say, okay, go play sonic but you can never lose your rings
or you cant fall in a hole and die
cf course its bound to happen some point
you can if youre good enough
When the protection warr look back post gonna be reposted on wowhead
In what world is prot boring Wadu
this one

nah easy to say its boring when its all youve been doing for a long time
ofc it gets stale
top it off with the spec not being as engaging as previously
Banner banner
I read somewhere apparently war within has no planned class reworks as of yet so donโt hold your breath anyone
not even a rework
just give me condemn or banner in place of spear
make spear in i think its arms that gets most value i dunno
i dont play alot of dps at a competitive lvl
cuz, for all of eternity in wow, thats that one thing ppl know about warriors, #1 they use rage and #2 they execute stuff
anytime some warrior viral video comes out its about excecute spam
I keep seeing people saying this. Whatโs the source?
I read it in the elemental shaman df recap post on wowhead
I read it there too, but pretty sure he pulled that out of his ass
Lowkey I'm finding it funny that the recaps are all up for the classes released but when I click the link for protection warrior the page is broken. Feels like my expansion in a nutshell and I enjoyed that
I dont care much about such "recap", I was having fun playing prot all expansion, im having it now, gonna continue 
I dont think war is boring at all. Do I miss banner. Yes. We dont need a rework. We just need some spellchanging
When they do those analyzes what talent is never picked. Voila
is this ability a place holder?
looks useless to me
also who needs shield block anyway
wat
Please stop having fun, thanks
Would be the first expansion ever where there wasnโt major changes to classes
So I doubt that
i just feel like we only ever used spear ability in SL for a few patches cuz it covered our obvious blindspot weakness to debuffs then
Wut?
and we were more after the phial than the spear abilitiy
Ancient aftershock>phial tbh
example if venthyr had same thing, i'd use that one probably
Non DR mob stop was kinda goated
i tried to run a 17 wcm but it went really south really fast
was just smacking a training dummy, fervid bite seems to consume all 3 bleeds? not just 40% of DW and rend?
so im avoiding logging on atm
Yeah it consumes the bleed period
It does 40% of the remaining damage
And 100% of roar
oh so it eats the entire bleed but it only does 40% of the dmg ok i think i get it
40% of the remaining damage
Generally it doesnโt really matter though, itโs just free damage cuz youโre constantly reapplying deep wounds and rend
i see that now, haven't played much prot this exp
was just wondering if it was bugged
pondering if it would make FBV worth it
but it doesnt get the additional 20% bleed from blood borne ya?
im sort of curious exactly why it is that way, but nah
so its personal pref ye? hence why im pondering
the adds to ignore pain one i believe is bugged or something and doesnt work, and i think BSV also
i think generally we dont ever run those,
you say that but the majority does run BrV
between brv and fbv one of those doesnt function properly, or at all
logically you would heal for a smal chunk every fervid bit with FBV but i dont think i have noticed that happening
so i dont think that works
and BSV is just, really janky, doesnt work way youd expect triggers too early hair trigger when you drop to 30% i think and then its just a you get more heals buff? its not great at all...
well as a prot warrior you usually fucked something up if you hit 30% hp anyways so kinda doesn't synergize with prot war
I think BrV is just the default talent in most builds
unlike purgatory or last resort
And people donโt bother changing
i really just wish prot warrior had a sustainable way of healing themselves, a healthstone every 3 min and IV isnt good enough lol
in that case, play brew
ok then there's no self healing that we need
as it has been since vanilla
hey i don't mean to scare you or anything buuuut thats almost 20 years ago
would be cool if you could have a rage spender to heal yourself, got way to much rage and nothing to spend it on except revenge anyways
We have 10% leech baseline, we have indomitable, we have IV, we have LS
we have plenty of self healing
my god man let me have my opinions
Especially considering we aren't a healing tank
out of all the things in this game that could make prot a bit more desireable
self healing is not one of them
its the only issue i have in keys is just dying to dots because i cant outheal them, reduce them or get rid of them outside of stoneform
try to reduce the 4th bite on rezan tyranicall 24 and see if demo is enuf
i have
wasnt for me, if healer isnt spam healing my stonescale's proc
it never is
ask for an external
in pugs
well thats your problem
it is
We're not the only tank that needs outside healing on that mechanic anyway; that's kind of the point of the mechanic.
which is why i want some self sustain
It's the only healing requirement on that fight
you want some self healing because you cant play a team game?
do you want to kick everything, heal everything, dps everything by yourself as well?
ok you are a healer, any healer, you queue up AD 25, you see prot war sign up and a veng dh sign up and bdk sign up, what do you do? you instantly decline the prot war because you dont wanna heal a 5th target and pick the veng.
There's only one target to heal on Rezan, not 5
It's great design that tanks have different amounts of self healing, different amounts of mitigation, etc.
I mean we don't need healing "in fucking general"
If every tank never needed a healer then the game would be boring
We need healing for specific things
so i need to hope
that healers pick me
because they wanna heal me
and not be bored
yaaay
As opposed to healing the other tank?
You're acting like no prot warrior ever pugs keys that high or something lol
What do you do when you play DPS?
i dont have that kind of time
Do you stop starsurging and start casting regrowth because you hit 90% hp?
No, you just trust that the healer will get you
thats relative
It's the exact same premise
if im not topped before a big aoe mechanic i will heal myself to be topped
i dont see the corilation between that and tanking
You don't see the correlation between needing a healer to keep you alive as a DPS and as a tank?
surley you wanna be self sufficient in order to let the healer focus on keeping the rest of the party up
Nobody is self sufficient, that's why we run in groups of 5
Like in what situation? Because you keep saying this like the healer has to heal you all the time lol
if the pull isnt killed by the time my defencives run out then yes healer has to spam heal
Wut
Then I would imagine you're playing incorrectly.
How fuckin squishy do you think prot warriors are
man were way off track from the initial problem i have, only issue i have with prot warrior is the lack of self healing thats all
i usually have little to no issues tanking keys in general but i do avoid tanking fortified on higher keys, especially keys like DHT and Rise
whats the point of avoiding? you need to eat shit to get better
might just be lack of verse because i have arms stat weights but i just dont enjoy prot in its current state
dht only the tree boss is bit problematic, there heal must extra pump on you
rise didnt play after the nerf
tree's, dryads and despair casters
prots are awesome idk players are just cripples which used to play with broken vdh/paladin and can't execute without binary counter mechanics
but i don't get why disrupting shout is 1.5 min cd if it was like 20-30 warrs would be top
i liked prot war last tier, probably because the keys werent actually that bad tanking wise tho, only real hassle was neltharus
seconds*
i piss on blizzard
i don't need to be happy
i mean i don't care about the low skills who balance the game
i get bored i just unsubscribe from this dumpster
bored/annoyed
your problems
no you don't
you are blizzards bitch
UuU
ahhh and yea prot war lacks damage like 25-35% i guess (or other tanks damage needs a nerf)
35%? lol
we are like ~7-9% behind in raid, fine in dungs in terms of dmg
no one in sane mind care about raids
where 35% comes from?
no it's not mediocre at best
no its not
go away with your twitch emotes
botter
35%... jesus fuck
how can you be so dense
i guess it happens when you rotation bot your shit
and then announce it here
and have archim get on your shit by doing so
If you gave us 35% damage we would shit on everyone by a large margin that's an insane number
guy is an actual moron
xDDDDD yes sure when everyone around you still dies
twitch emote
vdh/pala are strong because of the utility, and most would still prefer them
and vdh has also better damage*
Yeah they should just delete pwarr at this point
i have to tank tindral cuz missing tank and im only one who has ever played prot. any cool thing i can do
is mushroom spell blockable etc
behooooooooold
THE ULTIMATE WEAPON
this guy is stronger than level 60 epic weapons
that costs 5-6 digit sum from AH
so proud of it
i will cherish it
and watch over it
at least until i outlevel it
idk why you guys are loling at prot war being 35% behind in damage, it should do 30% more dps than other tanks, thats the way it should be

i remember back in the days
warrior was known for doing the most dmg
as a tank
almost like a bottom tier dps
idk what happened
i guess we went in the gutter
is that poetry
Prot experience is this:
Be one of the easiest tanks to become tanky early in an expansion, basically get a decent shield.
As other tanks need a couple of weeks to catch up, enjoy the feeling of being wanted.
People complain, as you got a spotlight and are far ahead of other tanks.
Get nerfed to hell, so to be the same early game level as others.
They get geared, we get left in the dumpster. Gradually getting tiny buffs, so we ready to repeat the process the next expansion.
VICTORY IS CARVED IN BLOOD
i went through 3 different healers
5 different dps
but i completed that dungeon
NEVER GIVE UP
when the others give up
U KEEP PUSHING
altho the fault was mine
for pulling those whirlwind fuckers with 15 other mobs at once
3 times in a row
but hey u live to learn
i prevailed in the end
and the leavers got a penalty and no rewards nothing
this + shield block
= full heal
when u pull like 40 mobs
dang we optimizing pre max level trinkets
tpeople sell those for transmogs
of course
i've spent more time optimizing my gear
than actually doing dungeons to level
but u know DAMN well
that i will be the strongest guy
in every single dungeon i do
cuz i got all BiS gear
until you out level that trinket
you will be the most powerful prot warrior known to man
So funny. 3 days and people still eat Yo's bait
Is it yogi 2nd account?
anything worth knowing about mythic council?
You forgot keep 2 bosses stacked at all times
so no dramatic change for us from heroic then?
@jagged pier in mythic were you guys taunt swapping on claws or charges for Urctos? i'm fine because of block but our BDK is struggling
Like on hc your supposed to change every claws
But as on hc it doesnt hurt
No one knows that
4 heal or 5 healing? our group is struggling a bit, but i think it's just letting too many plants up
Pretty sure heal is always dependent on weather you hit dps check or not. If there is none just put in another healer. No shame in that
There is no general rule healing wise that fits any grp
too easy, thanks guys. seems to be running better with 5. just doing some fine tuning
Gl 
I agree with the fact if the dot is some kind of poison, bleed, or a curse. Some kind of a โbattlefield bandageโ that we apply to ourself to remove that. Otherwise Iโd say our current state of self healing is very decent.
we have bitter immunity
not that its picked
just our talent tree thats a bit silly so we can't pick things like berserker rage / bitter immunity
and other utility-type abilities
like i told u guys before
yogi 2.0
everywhere
you'll never believe it till you see it for your self
Is Lariat worth getting atm for a prot warrior? I'm 480 ilvl and still with champion neck.
no just craft the other neck
torc is the play
Nome should add a Lariat is shit disclaimer to the pins. We hear the question 4 times a day
I've been trying out some cursed doom mods recently
Pause on any frame with a monster for a garunteed nightmare fuel image
Why is the bottom all psychedelic
any idea why taking Enduring Alacrity doesn't change the haste values in the char sheet? it should be 1% more but for me it's identical before and after. The stamina and armor values do change as expected.
seems like a display bug, because the overall % does change
It doesn't give any haste rating, just 1% to your haste
The stat numbers only increase from gear/flasks/food that give the stat values
the entire mod is
0.0
its using deep dream AI
What that
% haste gains don't change your rating. Also don't run that talent.
the 2 new bags from big digs is amazing, i have to for that at some point
whoever implemented the costs for items for that event was insane
need like 230k fragments to collect it all
and its a slog getting fragments
im getting tired of timed based event in general
was cool at first but it just feels like youre waiting for it to be over now
yeah the events are actually one of my least favorite df 'features'
find them pretty lame and not compelling at all
theyre all mandatory for catchup gear too
this season u can buy catchup gear with flightstones from that panda near the portal to different dungeons
hm really, how many flightstones?
i feel flightstones are a rare currency tbh
if youre upgrading a lot youll run out fast
yeah flightstones more valuable this season
350 i guess its good if you want some easy 441s
yea i ran out on my warrior mid season
couldnt "free upgrade" my fury 2handers
900 each like wow
i feel like this is the type of coillectible that should have been available at the start of expansion probably
also might like something like these in the blizzard store but the one on left is a bit more generic
@lusty grotto homie 5400 haste is the itf swapping point to still have 100% block right
Yes, with careful sb management
Frankly unless you're an experienced prot warrior, I would hold off on swapping until more haste
Ye for sure Iโm just chatting with a fellow warrior about it and wanted to clarify
Thanks ghash
what all is a purge anyways, its like shaman, obviously, spell steal mage, torrrent from BE ability, and i think also a dragon spell
Shaman, priest, mage, demon hunter, hunter, warlock (non-demo), arcane torrent
If we're talking magic dispel
debuffs without types typically cant be removed ya? buffs on enemy rather
Correct
There are some enrage buffs for example that can't be soothed because they aren't classed as an enrage
5400 yes
In mm+ how often do you stance dance ? Cause ive been taking slaps in 22 AD.
Whenever I feel like I need to
Which isnโt often but for specific abilities
Bleed on rezan
Grip on tree boi in DHT
Because i was like. Yeah aight im fine and 1sec later and 20% hp i was more like. Oh shiiiieeet
Dogs in tott
That was not because you didn't have defensive stance active. Sounds more like you let shield block drop or people missed a bunch of kicks
Yeah seems like ive to learn more about "when" i can dps
Double true
We use battle stance like 99% of the time with the 1% being the occasions similar to what Griff said
appears as though frost and fire buff from chaos flask is like, a hidden buff that lasts for like 15 minutes and then cycles to new one, way more uptime on the other 2
\o/
He also dropped Gholak, fuck yea
or never use dstance and blame healer
Congrats friend
Sir it tells you how the flask works in the tooltip
we didnt time the key anyway

1 wipe and some guy left, so i did as well, thats my new policy for key, someone leaves after a wipe i just instant leave game
healer seemed to have low mana i think is why we died
ya, healer just had zero mana
That's standard procedure. Waste of time trying to four-man a key.
Hard disagree. Killed the last two bosses of a Tyrannical 23 AD after a DPS died and rage quit. Always worth sticking it out (unless it's some crazy shit like a 25+)
4 manned a 21 DHT starting at double bear pull
you guys realize people 4 man 22s as carrys right lol
Naw man the carries that do like 30k overall with no CC or interrupts are key to timing a run.
Yeah I've 4 manned 20s; not easy, but not that hard.
20s arent bad, like you can time pretty much any 20 with the group doing tank damage as long as the tank knows what theyre doing and the rest of the group is at least mechanically inclined
can someone help me when it comes to prot raiding, is Second wind worth it to take for when you are not tanking the boss?
Rarely
It gets broken from all dmg than isn't classified as "environmental" dmg
And since all aoe dmg in raid is sources from mobs or bosses
You basically don't get value from it
depleted
the only fight ive ever seen where second wind actually works, not even is good, was sark. When you went down it would trigger since ur basically immune to dmg so it had a niche use but even then you never really took dmg right after coming up so no real point in taking it
Yeah, no good in my experience. If it ever even procs healers have topped you up by then anyway.
id say for prot it second wind could be like, whenever you block, once per sscond heal for (number)
it was usefull only on mythic rashok to heal off dot instead of clearing as this dot wasnt breaking it
They should bring back old second wind and up the health percentage it starts at
Mists Second Wind was bonkers
Honestly, thereโs so much utility thatโs just been stripped away from us that weโve gotten and then just taken away
It wasn't just bonkers
It was mad overpowered
You were neigh unkillable in pvp
You couldn't die unless someone did 35% of your hp in 1 global
excuse me, someone managed to kill me in temple of kotmugu after like 527 stacks of the orb increased damage taken debuff, thank you
This comment was fact checked by a true patriot
Comrade Luerce
Donโt forget Shield Slam used to purge also
We used to give raid wide leech that stacked
Stormbolt had an extra damage component that just soloed the Siegecrafter add when vengeance plus the stacks were high
heroic throw silence too
remember in wrath, id lock down a faction champion healer completely in TOGC
4sec stun shockwave too
why do we lose so much just for prot paladin to get brez somehow lol
finally got Council down, done with Duck Jail
