And I don't even have an augary yet

strong forum
#

T31 profile is around 4k crit, 6k haste 1k mastery and 3k vers

narrow jay
#

My haste is right up there with my crit

strong forum
#

With crit flask

narrow jay
#

Hmmm kk I'll recraft a few items to haste vers instead of crit

strong forum
#

Just sim to be sure

narrow jay
#

Awesome thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

vocal nimbus
#

Raidbots simulates with crit flask?

strong forum
#

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

uneven mason
#

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

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

strong forum

Smth like that maybe?

#

Maybe 7k

grand veldt

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

winged slate
#

Nah, blizzard actually buffed you, Yogi

#

You're just so strong now

strong forum
#

It's 20seconds

#

Since late s2

#

Or smth like that

#

It's "fairly" new that the pools also don't stack anymore

warm plinth
#

It was nerfed to 20 seconds, then to 12

strong forum
#

Ah

warm plinth
#

I think 20 was going into DF, then 12 at the start of S2

#

% 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 %

violet flume
#

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..

winged slate
#

Revenge does like zero damage

#

It's laughable

#

Just ss more, bite more, reset tc more, reset dragon roar more

violet flume
#

yeah thats wht i thought its not worth

#

revenge is 75k on 5 targets, i forgot the math beyond more than that though

winged slate
#

Revenge barely procs bite

#

I basically only ever use it to fish for a SS reset when nothing else is up

violet flume
#

yea its pretty much the same for me

weary forge
#

do we just not use rend

#

at all

uneven trench
#

Y'all run stamina gems or are we beefy enough without them?

urban portal
#

does any tank run stamina gems

uneven trench
#

idk i dont tank

worthy karma
#

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?

urban portal
#

cant

#

people dont use sudden death really

#

but 2 abilities on the gcd cannot be macroed

worthy karma
urban portal
#

yeah i was thinking juggernaut for some reason

#

mb

#

but still you cant macro 2 abilities on the gcd together

worthy karma
#

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

urban portal
#

yeah that works

jagged pier
#

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

desert token
urban portal
#

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

analog raft
#

We lack of utility

#

And damage

#

We are the only one tank with stance who give us damage reduction ๐Ÿคฃ

desert token
#

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

analog raft
#

Warrior is popular class

desert token
#

2% play rate

analog raft
#

They just don't love us

desert token
#

Prot warrior

analog raft
#

Perhaps prot

#

But fury is one of the most played spec

desert token
#

They just need to add a permanent passive that allows us to block spells

desert token
#

So i gotta play arms

analog raft
#

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 ๐Ÿคฃ

anyone know if echo raid tools includes a tank/cotank wa for the raid?

Dont take the bait bebi. Its the second or third time he posted that same tier list and we told him its shit everytime

teal swift
#

ty for looking out my bro

teal swift
#

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

opaque quest
#

Warr is the middle one

#

Turned into VDH keks

teal swift
#

Completely unplayable #1 VDH vs #1 Prot Warrior

opaque quest
#

Imagine not having multiple 31s

#

Unplayable

teal swift
#

ikr, look at Guardian druid

#

its a whole two tiers

#

above prot warrior

#

Damn, how can we ever compete

opaque quest
#

All i understand is nerf warr

#

Maybe we can be 1 1/2 tiers behind

#

Instead of just 1

teal swift
#

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

ember token
#

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.

grand veldt
#

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

limber warren
#

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...

grand veldt
#

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

But i dont think the head enchant was being tested on ptr

restive scroll

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

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

But as far as im concerned the main selling point of "gear" from the raid next to the legy shouldve been tested

Well, if I want to dps, the corrupted rage seems better

#

I gain something like 40/50 ranks

opaque quest
#

Na. Uptime is shitty. Vers sims higher for me at least

#

Might be because i have basically no vers tho

woven spear

๐Ÿ˜„

restive scroll

#

idk, never sim flasks

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 just do okay

I don't raid mythic either though

jagged pier

I said "for me"

I tend to rank about 100~ & with rage, I get to 50~

jagged pier

it wont be for anyone

woven spear

#

Agreed, hence why I was very specific :)

warm night
#

I'm far from an expert here, but that seems like really low haste for 485 ilvl

warm night
jagged pier
#

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

jagged pier
#

there is no thought

restive scroll
#

ok

jagged pier
#

just equip

teal swift
#

Replace all secondaries with a stat called "power"

#

Too much simming

#

Just make ilvl only factor

weary forge
#

is cross speccing to arms or fury easier

blazing condor
#

arms

blazing condor
#

most similar stat prio

#

instead of you having to stack mastery as fury

weary forge
#

what is prot stats?

#

haste>crit>vers>mast?

blazing condor

does berseker shout remove fear on party members from the dwellers in DHT?

opaque quest
knotty pewter
#

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

blazing condor
#

dont see why it wouldnt work

stone umbra
#

so just starting to work on learning to tank any good tips for starting out?

blazing condor
#

read the guides

opaque quest
#

Practice Practice Practice

blazing condor
#

practice

pallid quiver
#

I'd recommend making sure you're confident in your base rotation first on dummies, then go out while logging

stone umbra
opaque quest
#

Yea

pallid quiver
#

Tanking in general in M+ is mostly reading group pace, which varies wildly

pallid quiver
#

our good Mwahi here

opaque quest
#

Never ever rely on people interrupting or supporting you keks

#

Thats the first rule

stone umbra
pallid quiver
#

Also, are you planning on M+ tanking or raid tanking?

stone umbra
opaque quest
#

Isnt Llarold a dedicated prot too? Never checked

pallid quiver
#

Raid tanking is dramatically easier since the fights are scripted; it's by far the easiest role in raid

stone umbra
pallid quiver
#

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

stone umbra
#

Well i really enjoy healing mythic so might focus tanking them to see if i can

pallid quiver
#

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

blazing condor
#

tanking is just a lot more outside of combat

#

outside of doing your rotation and doing numbers

pallid quiver
#

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

opaque quest
blazing condor
#

its more of a proactive, think-ahead and be aware type role

stone umbra
#

Yea have had alot of tanks just go and leave me scrambling for mana

pallid quiver
#

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

opaque quest
#

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

stone umbra
#

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

pallid quiver
#

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

opaque quest
#

If a tank doesnt press his buttons hes unhealable anyways tho

#

No point in trying to flash

pallid quiver
#

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

fighting against something you have no other words to describe what your fighting, a literal alien or hell monster

blazing condor
#

you got any

tribal wharf
#

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

blazing condor
#

mages could spell steal it iirc

weary forge
#

what mobility does prot have apart dash/leap

blazing condor
#

its pretty much just charge/leap

tribal wharf
#

intervene that we dont talent into for keys

blazing condor
#

shield charge could also be used

#

but not really worth to use as util

weary forge
#

then why do people say prot has good mobility? doesnt seem like much compared to dh/brm

tribal wharf
#

leaper talent makes us fast for a few seconds after landing with leap

#

not sur if thats what u want

lyric cape
#

Probably cause it has more mobility than BDK or Prot paladin

tribal wharf
#

it does have good mobility

#

but its normally not a real factor for raids/keys

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

its only 35% now rather than 50% i thought

#

waitin on healr relog then back 2 key

blazing condor
#

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

grizzled nova
weary forge
#

fair enough

#

but monk got three rolls, trans, tigers lust

grizzled nova
#

pwar/vdh/monk are very mobile, in ish different ways, ppala is okay, bdk and bear are basically invalids

weary forge
#

prot mobility still good tho, i get the point others made

grizzled nova
#

pwar isn't uniquely mobile, it's just one of the tanks that does have mobility

weary forge
#

yeah i get that

#

i hate on blood how you only have da

#

feel like a slog

grizzled nova
#

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

violet ginkgo
#

so we need more actual utility for the party maybe?

desert token
#

It shows that when played to perfection its so much weaker

warm plinth
#

Can you explain how you drew that conclusion?

desert token
#

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

warm plinth
#

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.

desert token
#

So what does the data show

warm plinth
#

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

desert token
#

Ye

warm plinth
#

Notice anything? This is the tank class population for keys level 20+ on raider.io

desert token
#

U might be onto smth here

warm plinth
#

Keep in mind, the chart you posted is only showing data from a specific set of affixes; my chart is showing overall

pallid quiver
#

dk becoming less popular for sanguine

#

bruh you can yank mobs out of the puddle smh

warm plinth
#

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

desert token
#

It appears subcreation only shows current week

#

While this has 177k sample size

#

Of all such weeks

#

How do u remove embed on phone

warm plinth
#

< before and > after the link

#

idk if you can remove it without editing; I generally don't care about embeds so lol

desert token
#

Takes too much space

warm plinth
#

But yeah, you can see why it's not really useful information in terms of how good or bad a spec is

desert token
#

But u know what annoys me

warm plinth
#

It's just popularity

desert token
#

U cant sort by given spec

#

Inside of timed leaderboards

#

U have to go to class or spec leaderboaard

#

Which takes way more time

warm plinth
#

Oh, yeah

desert token
#

Also raider.io's files get blocked by my dns filter

#

So it loads like shit unless i turn it off

warm plinth
#

raider.io has been strugglebussing hard lately anyway tbh

desert token
#

But yeah looking at wowmeta

#

We are last in dungeons

#

And we are tied in 5th with guardian druid in raids

torn gulch
#

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%

desert token
#

Only better than blood dk

warm plinth
#

instead of being like PWAR IS D TIER

desert token
#

I should have sorted by mortality rate

warm plinth
#

what does mortality rate even mean o_O

desert token
#

How much u die

torn gulch
#

kekw

desert token
#

Ur goal as tank is to not die

blazing condor
#

depends on how intuitive the spec is to play

warm plinth
#

well, idk if you've played with a lot of prot warriors but uh, a LOT of them suck.

#

even in keys over 20

desert token
#

Thus we are joint 4th/5th place with guardian druid

blazing condor
#

did a 22 atal with a pwarr today who had 45 cpm

#

and 50% blocked

torn gulch
#

yikes

desert token
#

So how do I not suck?

blazing condor
#

learn to play

#

learn to read logs

#

practice

#

analyse your logs

warm plinth
#

Not dying is like 99% correct gameplay for any tank right now

#

Tanks are very sturdy this season

desert token
#

Blood dk is atrocious in raids for some reason

torn gulch
#

lol what?

desert token
#

8.73% mortality rate

#

We have 6.88%

warm plinth
desert token
#

Guardian druid 6.95%

blazing condor
#

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

desert token
#

Well we are the least popular tank

warm plinth
#

gotta be log analysis right?

desert token
#

But still only 4th in mortality rate

warm plinth
#

idk how else it would be pulled

blazing condor
#

is a wipe = death

#

added to mortality rate

#

cus in that case its still a popularity contest

warm plinth
#

yeah, it seems like a potentially scuffed metric (not that it's useful in the first place)

blazing condor
#

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

desert token
#

I asked on their discord now

#

We'll see

warm plinth
#

oh dear

desert token
warm plinth
#

Oh, wowmeta

#

I thought you meant Acherus and I was gonna be like you shouldn't have done that

desert token
#

Whos acherus

warm plinth
#

The DK discord

#

They are not exactly the friendly sort if you bring meme shit in there

desert token
#

I will go there

blazing condor
#

๐Ÿซก

warm plinth
#

rest in peace

desert token
#

And let em know dk is the worst tank in raids

warm plinth
#

they'll probably just ban you keks

desert token
#

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

jagged gust
#

Those are some true gamer sleep stats right there

tribal wharf
#

hard for me to complain really

#

could be better but almost nitpicking now

violet ginkgo
#

get the gholak ray

idle quartz
#

Gholak is insane, my 476 version would out-dps my 489 weapon no contest

tribal wharf
#

just aint got it

#

no biggie

blazing condor
#

wonder how long LFG is gonna be broken

#

when it comes to listing keystones

tribal wharf
#

i join the keys i know since i dont know all the dungeons

blazing condor
#

thats a good way to never learn new dungeons

tribal wharf
#

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

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

i've done so much WCM that its unfailable key for me now

#

its like world 1 of mario, only die if really stupid

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

yes well, but im considering getting into custom doom wad playing or creation

blazing condor
# warm plinth Wdym?

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

warm plinth
#

Oh. Yeah, that stuff is irritating.

tribal wharf
#

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

warm plinth
#

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

blazing condor
#

probably is an addon that could do that

warm plinth
#

But would be a sick idea

tribal wharf
#

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

lusty tiger
#

I like that idea

tribal wharf
#

like cuz might think your doin right things, and your not at all, but its more naunced than that too i recogniz

still solar
tribal wharf
#

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

blazing condor
#

best part about playing dps is that you get to see all the silly pwarrs

#

wish me luck with this fella

tribal wharf
#

hey don't spoiiler my upcoming build

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

BSV omegalul

blazing condor
#

not even using ravagaer

tribal wharf
#

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

long chasm
#

You guys donโ€™t pick up the interrupting taunt shout talent for pugs? Imma have to check the pins and see what Iโ€™m missing

blazing condor
#

i regret to inform that we did not time the key

lusty tiger
#

Hmm

lusty tiger
blazing condor
#

honestly yes

#

but not cus he was a bad tank per se he just chain pulled the entire dungeon

lusty tiger
#

R I P

blazing condor
#

gonna peep the log

winged slate
#

My man loves pressing revenge

still solar
#

wonder how high the sanuine heals were if overpulling was an issue

blazing condor
#

only 7%

tribal wharf
#

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

warm plinth
#

It was at this moment, he knew he fucked up

blazing condor
#

4 years later and still getting hit in the back

tribal wharf
#

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

blazing condor
#

you can if youre good enough

toxic pewter
#

When the protection warr look back post gonna be reposted on wowhead

tribal wharf
#

protection warrior is the same story as always

#

boring and never changing

chilly brook
#

In what world is prot boring Wadu

blazing condor
#

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

lusty tiger
#

Banner banner

toxic pewter
#

I read somewhere apparently war within has no planned class reworks as of yet so donโ€™t hold your breath anyone

tribal wharf
#

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

high mesa
toxic pewter
high mesa
#

I read it there too, but pretty sure he pulled that out of his ass

sullen gust
#

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

hardy snow
#

I dont care much about such "recap", I was having fun playing prot all expansion, im having it now, gonna continue wicked

dusky sentinel
#

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

desert token
#

is this ability a place holder?

#

looks useless to me

#

also who needs shield block anyway

toxic pewter
#

wat

winged slate
chilly brook
#

So I doubt that

tribal wharf
#

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

chilly brook
#

Wut?

tribal wharf
#

and we were more after the phial than the spear abilitiy

chilly brook
#

Ancient aftershock>phial tbh

tribal wharf
#

example if venthyr had same thing, i'd use that one probably

chilly brook
#

Non DR mob stop was kinda goated

tribal wharf
#

i tried to run a 17 wcm but it went really south really fast

rocky bluff
#

was just smacking a training dummy, fervid bite seems to consume all 3 bleeds? not just 40% of DW and rend?

tribal wharf
#

so im avoiding logging on atm

chilly brook
#

It does 40% of the remaining damage

#

And 100% of roar

rocky bluff
#

oh so it eats the entire bleed but it only does 40% of the dmg ok i think i get it

chilly brook
#

40% of the remaining damage

#

Generally it doesnโ€™t really matter though, itโ€™s just free damage cuz youโ€™re constantly reapplying deep wounds and rend

rocky bluff
#

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

tribal wharf
#

but it doesnt get the additional 20% bleed from blood borne ya?

rocky bluff
#

dunno, i dont run bloodborne

#

in m+

tribal wharf
#

im sort of curious exactly why it is that way, but nah

rocky bluff
#

so its personal pref ye? hence why im pondering

tribal wharf
#

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,

rocky bluff
#

you say that but the majority does run BrV

tribal wharf
#

between brv and fbv one of those doesnt function properly, or at all

rocky bluff
#

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

tribal wharf
#

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...

rocky bluff
#

well as a prot warrior you usually fucked something up if you hit 30% hp anyways so kinda doesn't synergize with prot war

chilly brook
rocky bluff
#

unlike purgatory or last resort

chilly brook
#

And people donโ€™t bother changing

rocky bluff
#

i really just wish prot warrior had a sustainable way of healing themselves, a healthstone every 3 min and IV isnt good enough lol

lusty grotto
#

nah we aint bdks

#

the whole point of us is to prevent damage

#

leave bdk as bdks

rocky bluff
#

i was thinking more in the lines of like brewmaster

#

bdks is something else entirely

lusty grotto
#

in that case, play brew

rocky bluff
#

nah

#

i play warrior to play warrior

lusty grotto
#

ok then there's no self healing that we need

rocky bluff
#

boring

#

need healer piggyback

lusty grotto
#

as it has been since vanilla

rocky bluff
#

hey i don't mean to scare you or anything buuuut thats almost 20 years ago

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

and ive played since then

#

๐Ÿ™‚

rocky bluff
#

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

lusty grotto
#

you keep wishing to be another tank

#

thats the least that we need

warm plinth
#

We have 10% leech baseline, we have indomitable, we have IV, we have LS

#

we have plenty of self healing

rocky bluff
#

my god man let me have my opinions

warm plinth
#

Especially considering we aren't a healing tank

lusty grotto
#

out of all the things in this game that could make prot a bit more desireable

#

self healing is not one of them

rocky bluff
#

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

lusty grotto
#

wall? demo?

#

dstance?

#

they apply to all dots and bleeds

warm plinth
rocky bluff
#

try to reduce the 4th bite on rezan tyranicall 24 and see if demo is enuf

lusty grotto
#

i have

rocky bluff
#

wasnt for me, if healer isnt spam healing my stonescale's proc

lusty grotto
#

on a 24 min youre not playing the game for yourself

#

its a team game

rocky bluff
#

it never is

lusty grotto
#

ask for an external

rocky bluff
#

in pugs

lusty grotto
#

well thats your problem

rocky bluff
#

it is

warm plinth
#

We're not the only tank that needs outside healing on that mechanic anyway; that's kind of the point of the mechanic.

rocky bluff
#

which is why i want some self sustain

warm plinth
#

It's the only healing requirement on that fight

lusty grotto
#

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?

rocky bluff
#

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.

warm plinth
#

There's only one target to heal on Rezan, not 5

rocky bluff
#

in fucking

#

general

winged slate
#

It's great design that tanks have different amounts of self healing, different amounts of mitigation, etc.

warm plinth
#

I mean we don't need healing "in fucking general"

winged slate
#

If every tank never needed a healer then the game would be boring

warm plinth
#

We need healing for specific things

rocky bluff
#

so i need to hope

#

that healers pick me

#

because they wanna heal me

#

and not be bored

#

yaaay

winged slate
#

As opposed to healing the other tank?

warm plinth
#

You're acting like no prot warrior ever pugs keys that high or something lol

rocky bluff
#

im acting like i dont wanna queue

#

for 6 hours

winged slate
#

What do you do when you play DPS?

rocky bluff
#

i dont have that kind of time

winged slate
#

Do you stop starsurging and start casting regrowth because you hit 90% hp?

#

No, you just trust that the healer will get you

rocky bluff
#

thats relative

winged slate
#

It's the exact same premise

rocky bluff
#

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

winged slate
#

You don't see the correlation between needing a healer to keep you alive as a DPS and as a tank?

rocky bluff
#

surley you wanna be self sufficient in order to let the healer focus on keeping the rest of the party up

winged slate
#

Nobody is self sufficient, that's why we run in groups of 5

warm plinth
#

Like in what situation? Because you keep saying this like the healer has to heal you all the time lol

rocky bluff
#

if the pull isnt killed by the time my defencives run out then yes healer has to spam heal

winged slate
#

Wut

warm plinth
#

Then I would imagine you're playing incorrectly.

winged slate
#

How fuckin squishy do you think prot warriors are

rocky bluff
#

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

pliant trout
#

whats the point of avoiding? you need to eat shit to get better

rocky bluff
#

might just be lack of verse because i have arms stat weights but i just dont enjoy prot in its current state

pliant trout
#

dht only the tree boss is bit problematic, there heal must extra pump on you

#

rise didnt play after the nerf

rocky bluff
#

tree's, dryads and despair casters

pliant trout
#

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

rocky bluff
#

i liked prot war last tier, probably because the keys werent actually that bad tanking wise tho, only real hassle was neltharus

pliant trout
#

seconds*

rocky bluff
#

it used to be

#

6 fucking minute

#

be happy

pliant trout

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

i cant

i see big numbers

your problems

as soon as something better get released

pliant trout
#

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)

hardy snow
#

35%? lol

pliant trout
#

yes, thats prot warrs utility, damage.

#

what else does he bring?

hardy snow
#

we are like ~7-9% behind in raid, fine in dungs in terms of dmg

pliant trout
#

no one in sane mind care about raids

hardy snow
#

where 35% comes from?

pliant trout
#

i talk only about m+

#

i am saying prot warr needs a overall damage buff

hardy snow
#

no one in sane mind care about m+

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

but our dmg is pretty good in M+

pliant trout
#

no it's not mediocre at best

lusty grotto
#

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

winged slate
#

If you gave us 35% damage we would shit on everyone by a large margin that's an insane number

lusty grotto
#

guy is an actual moron

pliant trout
#

xDDDDD yes sure when everyone around you still dies

lusty grotto

pliant trout

vdh/pala are strong because of the utility, and most would still prefer them

and vdh has also better damage*

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

waxen frigate
#

is that poetry

cerulean tusk
#

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.

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

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

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

covert flower
#

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

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

violet flume
#

theyre all mandatory for catchup gear too

toxic pewter

this season u can buy catchup gear with flightstones from that panda near the portal to different dungeons

violet flume

hm really, how many flightstones?

#

i feel flightstones are a rare currency tbh

#

if youre upgrading a lot youll run out fast

toxic pewter

yeah flightstones more valuable this season

violet flume

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

dusky canopy

@lusty grotto homie 5400 haste is the itf swapping point to still have 100% block right

warm plinth

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 Iโ€™m just chatting with a fellow warrior about it and wanted to clarify

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

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
