I've no idea but reading tooltip it says it does nature damage

warm plinth
#

No, the only thing spell block works on in that fight is the initial hit of the breath

grim pilot
#

so

#

nothing

strong forum
#

Ye

uneven mason
#

losing rolls to holy paladins on rageheart on my warrior.

Meanwhile on my BDK

weary forge
#

whys prot doing bad compared to other tanks rn

uneven mason
#

VDH has too much utility

#

Prot isn't popular unless it's insanely OP

#

tank wise we're crazy solid

#

it's the fact we don't have 100% uptime on AE silence

#

(Like VDH)

#

or a 3-5s CD on a targeted interrupt (Like Pal)

#

or insane group healing (Like bear)

strong forum
#

Cuz pally and vdh bring more

#

That's it

#

Nothing else

weary forge
#

and its underplayed so it looks worse?

strong forum
#

Correct

uneven mason
#

Yup

weary forge
#

its less played than brew which is surprising

strong forum
#

If vdh didn't exits, pwar would be 2nd best tank

#

In m+

#

Even tho bear is still just as good as in s2

uneven mason
strong forum
#

If not stronger

weary forge
#

where does prot war rank in self sustain? obv blood is at the top

#

but where does prot rank in at

uneven mason
#

we mitigate

strong forum
#

We don't need healing unless it's for very specific scenarios

uneven mason
#

we just take very little damage

weary forge
#

so like if the healer goes down

#

how fucked are we compared to other specs

uneven mason
#

not

strong forum
#

We aren't unless it's on specific bosses

uneven mason
#

I've solo'd the last 30% On bosses at 20s

#

(We might be able to do that at higher keys, but I'm a KSH andy)

opal forum
#

i would say DK>DH>druid>war=pal>monk

#

in terms of surviving without heal

#

i might be wrong

uneven mason
#

None of the tanks need a healer

strong forum
#

Hard to judge

#

Cuz it's also an irrelevant scenario

opal forum
#

i mean

uneven mason
#

outside of shit that's intended to kill you

opal forum
#

yes they do

strong forum
#

Tanks don't rly need healers

#

If they do they're a bad tank

uneven mason
#

Press buttons

#

No die

opal forum
#

you dont need a healer actively on you

#

but if the healer ignores you for an entire key

#

youre not gonna survive

tribal wharf
uneven mason
strong forum
#

Idk why you're making up scenarios that don't exist

tribal wharf
#

balanced as all things should be

opal forum
#

youre the one making them

uneven mason
#

that basically ignored healing to do damage

strong forum
#

Well so do i

uneven mason
#

If we were in EU I'd be like "NOM IS THAT YOU"

#

😄

strong forum
#

Yeah

opal forum
#

you are the one saying "tank dont need heal"

#

i mean

strong forum
#

Correct

opal forum
#

we rly dont need it as much as before, or like the dps does

#

we still need some bit of healing

uneven mason
#

The DPS needs healers, tanks are self sufficient with proper play

#

outside of very few situations

strong forum
#

You get passive incidental heals or a random hot

uneven mason
#

WHy I ❤️ me some Mistweaver

#

shit just heals me when I need it

tribal wharf
#

or if you are getting nuked by some tank killer spell

uneven mason
#

and otherwise they just going ham

tribal wharf
#

but those dont happen alot, and you avoid them or deal with them

#

i like any healer that heals

#

i dislike healers that cant heal

uneven mason
#

I dislike healers that don't do DPS

opal forum
#

i mean its not like 18 is a real challenge anyway

uneven mason
#

You're not wrong

opal forum
#

but i would like to see a tank going through a 26+ with a healer ignoring him

uneven mason
#

But 20s is what things are balanced around.

tribal wharf
#

ya your not wrong but it doesnt invalidated what im saying

opal forum
#

yeah ok i see what ur saying

#

i was looking more at the higher keys

tribal wharf
#

your team still requires some healing in a +4

uneven mason
#

even higher keys

opal forum
#

yeah

tribal wharf
#

not a huge amount

opal forum
#

from low to 20 i agree tank dont need heal

#

only dps does

#

yeah we're basically saying the same thing

tribal wharf
#

healing probably fucking sucks

uneven mason
#

Even some of the top warrior keys, ~80% of the healing Plka gets in a 29 from the healer is just passive smart healing

next axle
uneven mason
#

It's not like the healer is hard focusing them

tribal wharf
#

so, ya, i feel bad for my healer anytime i see them die

opal forum
#

while this is a great WA, it dosent work perfectly tho

Ya'll have any tips for leaping away from tree boss breath in darkheart thicket

shut summit

watch timer and leap?

#

confused what tips are needed

edgy bone
#

yeah but it happens fast, and I got melee'd once

#

maybe tips on how to spin your camera fast or like

#

do you start running beforehand

#

is one single leap enough with no running before or after?

shut summit
#

yes

idle quartz
opal forum
#

are you using dbm or lilwigs? it help to know in advance when the breath is coming, so when its there, youre not taken by surprise

edgy bone
#

Does that mean I leeap too early, before he starts the cast?

strong forum
#

im big boy now

edgy bone

nah as prot

edgy bone

edgy bone

Badass bro

29 is insanely high key

opal forum
#

gg thats impressive

strong forum
#

i only procced cheat death cuz i got stuck on pig boss in poop

Crit

grim pilot

im curious

#

on 29 tyra

#

when did it start hurting

#

on 2nd boss

strong forum
#

uuuh

#

50 stacks?

#

idk

#

we reset on 33 each time

#

didnt really hurt at all

pallid quiver
#

I have also never gotten past witches on 20 Tyran or above

strong forum
#

i tanked mostly in b-stance

#

i think

#

oh yeah

#

i tanked shitloads of fire adds

#

they hurt way more

#

than boss

okay i only went to 40 stacks at the end

#

I want to be able to survive every grip on my own with no help

strong forum
#

not for tree boss in wcm

#

for darkheart

#

you can have demo shout, IV and SR for every grip

#

you use SW for the first

strong forum
#

both

edgy bone
#

Idk what IV is

#

impend victory?

#

Bro I'm out of range when I"m in grip

#

I can't use it mid grip

strong forum
#

you can.

#

you can fully attack the boss mid grip

#

only first global you cant use stuff

#

after that you can

#

only while hes picking you up, but while youre in the air you can do your rotation normally

Casually dropping a 29 prot key while playing arms all season

shut summit

strong forum
#

WCM is just so free as prot

#

its insane

strong forum
#

literal auto pilot key

edgy bone
#

like I'm out of range

strong forum
#

idk what youre targeting but it aint the boss

edgy bone
#

Hmm maybe you're right

#

It freaks me out when my HP bar exchanges with boss

strong forum
#

see i dont have that issue at all

#

i heard people lose their weakauras n shit

edgy bone
#

maybe it's removing my target when I get gripped

strong forum
#

my UI doesnt change at all

#

nothing changes for me

edgy bone
#

Your HP doesn't change??

#

bruh

#

do you use default UI

strong forum
#

no

edgy bone
#

ElvUI?

shut summit
#

its some weird shit where it counts as a vehicle

strong forum
#

yes

#

i disabled vehicle UI

shut summit
#

so if things disappear / change when in vehicle it gets fucked

strong forum
#

it can get fucky ye

#

but not on that boss for me

#

buttery smooth

edgy bone
#

There's gotta be a way to disable vehicle UI on default

uneven mason
#

WTB a /report leaver

edgy bone
#

I'm in here fighting it alone on a +25

#

Over and over

strong forum
#

cuz your UI is bugging out i guess

#

its trying to press other buttons

edgy bone
#

It's pretending I'm in a vehicle and pushing the vehicle buttons?

strong forum
#

yea

#

probably

edgy bone
#

That are bound to something else

#

lol bro

strong forum
#

like i dont have that issue whatsoever

edgy bone
#

Blizzard please

warm plinth
#

Idk I have my bar set to change in a vehicle and mine work fine so idk

warm plinth
#

No, elvui

edgy bone
#

Ok that time it worked fine

#

It's super buggy bro

#

1/10 times I can use my rotation fine

strong forum
#

maybe you just need to

#

be more aggressive

edgy bone
#

That time

#

I'm spamming shield slam and it says "Target needs to be in front of you"

strong forum
#

HAH

#

maybe your camera is just fuck

edgy bone
#

hmm

#

But I turned it all around up there

#

couldnt find an angle to let me shield slam

strong forum
#

hm

#

idk

#

i never had issues pressing buttons and neither do DKS

#

cuz they need to deathstrike up there

warm plinth
#

Yeah I always IV on every grip too

#

No issues

edgy bone
#

I'll try to mess with my camera some more, hopefully I'll get some info that helps anyone else having this issue

#

Does Spell Block help in there? Not reflect but b lock

warm plinth
#

No

strong forum
#

spellblock does nothing vs oakheart

#

except the stomp

edgy bone
#

Ok

shut summit
#

does nothing to stomp

edgy bone
#

Uh oh

shut summit
#

just initial hit of breath that you should be avoiding anyways

edgy bone
#

who is right here

strong forum
#

ah

#

alright

#

ive only tanked that boss once on 26 fort

#

but was chill aside from me fucking up once

shut summit
#

did 29tyran last nite and still pretty chill

#

you can spell block the landing damage off the throw

edgy bone
shut summit
#

which is mostly the scariest part of the spell

edgy bone
#

IV + DS + SR for every grip

#

Then what

strong forum
#

SW every other

edgy bone
#

Shield Block on top of it? Then rage heart? Then shield block again

strong forum
#

well always shield block

#

for damage

edgy bone
#

shield wall*

shut summit
#

idk i dont have a rotation, just press buttons

edgy bone
#

bro does he melee you in there?

shut summit
#

SW every other, make sure demo shout is up

strong forum
#

the flowers do

#

but you can still Tclap flowers from up there

#

so its fine

#

barrier below the boss also works

#

to hit you up there

warm plinth
uneven mason
edgy bone
strong forum
#

i always hold it in combat ye

lusty grotto
#

ticon are you aware AA start immediately after you press a skill right?

#

so you dont need to right click

lusty grotto
#

and like Nome, right click is pressed for camera reasons

#

auto attacks

edgy bone
#

Yeah I hold right click for camera

#

But I thikn I'm figuring out tree boss bug

lusty grotto
#

i see

edgy bone
#

IF you're holding right click when you get picked up

#

It will bug out and you can't do your rotation because "target is not in front of you"

#

Then even if you spin your camera all around you can't

lusty grotto
#

oh, i havent had that happen

edgy bone
lusty grotto
#

i use it during

#

because that ip will get eaten anyway

#

and you keep IPing in the grip anyway

#

rather have LS for the first impending anyway

edgy bone
#

omg

#

the synergy

#

30% of my max HP

#

i see

#

Yeah but doesn't using it beforehand make more sense?

#

You can build up the big IP shield

#

and going from 100 to 130% HP at max is still like healing for that much

#

ANdi t's up for 15sec so your first IV will still heal more

strong forum
#

ideally you send LS whilst youre up there

edgy bone
strong forum
#

to get that 30% heal -> buffed IV ->

edgy bone
#

Going into the grip at 130% HP is the same as healing

#

And you will still have buffed IV

strong forum
#

LS is off gcd

#

id rather use it as an actual heal

#

rather than pre-use it

edgy bone
#

Yes but if you use it during grip, you don't have a chacne to build up a much bigger IP shield beforehand

#

Everything is the same using it during or before, except you won't get an IP shield if you use it during

strong forum
#

thats only 100k worth of extra IP

#

not rly relevant

edgy bone
#

You're saying you like it during because

#

You may not need it

strong forum
#

instead of 400k IP you have 500k IP

edgy bone
#

and you can use it reactively beacuse it's off GCD?

strong forum
#

yes

edgy bone
#

I feel you

strong forum
#

all im saying is

#

you eat 1 tick of grip

#

then send LS-> ip -> IV -> maybe outburst shieldslam -> IP -> IP

edgy bone
#

If you KNOW you're going to use it that grip, then it's better before. If you MAY use it but not sure, keep it and use it reactively during

strong forum
#

🤷‍♂️

#

could be idk

#

its not that deep, especially if you can just call for PS aswell

#

so you just rotate SW -> PS -> SW -> PS -> SW -> PS

#

and are literally immortal

edgy bone
#

on a +25

#

from 100% to 0

i solod it on +20 on 10.2 PTR with 460ilvl and 1 tank trinket

hardest part was the bats and first boss

1shot everything else

i died like 38 times to the bats

before i could kill them

with lucky reflect lineups

Then people see you posting +29s timed

ive put in the work

💪

edgy bone
#

For real though

strong forum
#

i also solod every dungeon in df beta

#

on +10 tho

#

cuz stuff was harder tuned

edgy bone
#

Probably helped learn it inside out

strong forum
#

exactly

#

i spend 2hrs soloing a dungeon

I've also googled this issue and nothing helpful comes up

#

Tried 5 different ways of googling it

#

How much of a difference does a 483 vs 489 shield make?

strong forum
#

~6% ish

edgy bone
#

or maybe they rescue after the THROW, like before you hit the ground

lusty grotto
#

why would they do that

#

the throw does nothing

#

they can probably rescue during the grip

grand veldt
#

That's actually big tech

#

I play with a dev, I'll try it and let you know

lusty grotto
#

its common sense

#

its just 80% of augs are fucking idiots

#

they never use rescue walls

#

and/or barely use zephyr

#

the good news is that if it doesnt work, you can just call it out just before the grip

grand veldt
#

it's actually news to me that you can use impending victory in crush, because i didnt understand why dks could use death strike and i couldn't

#

idk if it's factoring in the direction we're facing and if i just need to re orient in air or something but i can't get much to land on that phase either

You're always right though

Pirates mostly drank rum because it's distilled from Sugar Cane and they lived in the Caribbean; Gin's alcohiol content is made from grain, usually

i see

violet ginkgo
#

what should we aim nim? aside from my desperation on augury

lusty grotto
#

signet/augury + gholak chances as fury, or rageheart + gholak chances as prot

#

thats about it

cyan moon
lusty grotto
#

a bit easier to read:

  • fury = signet / myth rezan / augury / gholak
  • prot = rageheart / myth shield / gholak
violet ginkgo
#

Signet ✅
Gholak ✅
Augury critcake
Rageheart ❌

I'll worry about rageheart after augury then.

lusty grotto
#

either way is fine

#

im just focusing on rageheart because its the only prot specific item im missing

violet ginkgo
#

btw if we have both just rageheart augury combo is nice?

lusty grotto
#

sure

tribal wharf
#

what i was thinking about opening as dps for is counterweight

I am aware of this. When they're keeping acceptable uptime on SB, but have a full rage bar and getting dumpstered with what seems low IP uptime. That makes ya wonder.

whats acceptable to you

because acceptable to us is 95%+

anything lower is inting

MRT also

#

i used MRT auto logging

#

both are automatic

#

you go into a key, its on

#

you go into heroic/mythic, its on

supple oasis
#

Did some more digging and they're just a mess. Little to no shield charges being used, SB sitting at ~ 70% while active tank. I think an overusage of Spell Block but not fimilar with this seasons targets for that.

lusty grotto
#

and then it turns off as soon as youre out of those instances

warm plinth
#

Yeah that's what loggerhead does too. But you have to turn on that option in those addons. If they released idk, Blackrock Caverns as an M+, it would prompt me if I wanted to turn on auto logging for it

The first time I went in I mean

Hey y’all returning player here! I have been really diving into some research to help me get back into the game.
I really want to try tanking. Prot warrior seems the most appealing to me.
My question is: Is leveling 10-60 via tanking dungeons good practice?
I have noticed on other characters I’ve recently leveled to 60 that most tanks fly through the classics dungeons extremely quickly due to the level sync. Is this is a concern? Should I quest to 60 and then do follower dungeons?

jagged pier
#

its not useful the classes doesnt play anything like it does at max lvl when u are lvling

blazing condor
#

you wont get real practice in terms of how the spec plays - besides getting some muscle memory on what abilities youve placed where

#

but you will get some experience in terms of how to tank

#

or lead a group through dungeons

winged slate
#

Follower dungeons are pretty miserable in my experience

blazing condor
#

at least more than if you were to just level alone outside

uneven mason
#

Any danger until max level

covert flower
#

Sorry if this has been asked before or just is a shit question but

#

how much mastery do we actually want roughly?

jagged pier
#

23% ish

covert flower
#

Aight I'm at 24 and I figured that was probably close to good

jagged pier
#

its honestly not a % u need or what to strive for

#

but 23% is like a 7% increase in crit block chance for like 2 items of investment

#

so kinda big

winged slate
#

Makes me wonder how much block value we would need before crit block makes us immune

jagged pier
#

its cant

lusty grotto
#

crit block has a cap

jagged pier
#

its capped at 85%

#

crit blocking with spell block isnt capped tho

lusty grotto
#

ye

jagged pier
#

so that can make u immune

winged slate
#

Wack

jagged pier
#

very small chance tho

pallid quiver
#

it's super funny tho

pliant trout
#

it's actually bad/low value 85%

#

you get 300K if someone slaps you for 2KK

#

which is really realistic

jagged pier
#

well i mean thats just the block doing that

#

u have armour

#

and IP and whatever else on top of that

pliant trout
#

idk where it makes sense pvp?

#

i guess

#

to cap the crit block

jagged pier
#

ill if u capped a crit block on rashok u could take double phyiscal slams on mythic which is kinda funny

#

no idea in pvp

pliant trout
winged slate
#

In pvp there's this hidden tech where you can press N and change specs

#

That way you're not completely fucking useless

pliant trout
#

pvp is an abomination for cringe people it's not compatible with pve

#

it should be like totally separate spell/balance wise

winged slate
#

It sort of is but also sort of isn't

pliant trout
#

i agree on thos limitations/caps for pvp but not pve thats the problem

#

they need to bring all under one roof

#

which results in such things

winged slate
#

I'm surprised pvp didn't get their own trees tbh

Yeah, server down maint for NA ended early, even

That's why armor and block is capped to 85%

pliant trout

it could be capped to 90 or 95%

#

90 for sure

they should remove it for Season 4, tho, make it so tanks can become immune

wouldn't make much of a difference

A critblock is already 96% mitigation of dmg

As a prot warrior, should I change anything about my tanking during Spiteful? Running 17-20s...Currently do not run fear...should I?...Also, when I tank, I try and pull the mobs back the way we came, this way when we move to the next pack the mobs have further to run.

No idea if what I'm doing is correct. Can anyone share best way to handle Spiteful?...Not causing issues, but want to manage them better for the dps/heals

blazing condor
#

not much to really do besides kiting mobs towards where you wanna go

#

you can use stuns if you have to spare

#

but those are often better used on the mobs youre actually fighting

#

i suppose you could hamstring them but even that is kinda waste

#

when i play spiteful i usually just end up throwing a storm bolt every now and then if a spiteful is about to kill a healer whilst we're still fighting

opaque quest
#

They are slowed by TC anyways

warm plinth
#

Hamstring isn't a waste -_-

opaque quest
#

people just need to use wasd

high mesa
#

All 3 myth tracks are upgrades for me. I'm 476 ilvl with a 441 weapon from last season, everything else is hero track.

warm plinth
#

Hamstring is a much bigger slow than TC

opaque quest
#

ofc it is but even a tiny slow is enough to not get shit on by spites

warm plinth
#

Like to put that in a frame of reference, battlefield was slowed by 20% initially

#

And you still had to use a movement speed buff to avoid bladestorm

#

But anyway, I don't see it as wasteful to throw out a hamstring if it looks like someone is struggling with one.

maiden nimbus
#

cool thanks guys, I'll try and throw out some HS if it make sense...Yeah i do throw out SB and occasionally a shockwave if it's not going to impact upcoming stops
