Well you’d upgrade it

#

But yes

#

It’s bis weapon

tall sky
#

okay ty mate

#

sheeeeeeeeesh

tall sky
#

We can do all legion raids on mythic by our selves right

#

sameq uestion for bf rais. and nyalotha, do I need like a level 1 cape

warm plinth
tall sky
#

gotcha thanks

pallid quiver
#

by that, i mean go fast when on ship

#

unless they've nerfed it since

plush tendon
#

Im able to do Eonar as a BDK

#

should be doable as a warrior

#

just cant lolly gag

violet ginkgo
#

Also uh.... what are the strength and weakness if we compare these 3 trinkets?
Signet brand (Smolderon)
Augury
Elementium pocket Anvil.

pallid quiver
#

I wager it's been adjusted since the last time I touched it, since I do recall a change, but I could be wrong

torn gulch
#

Now we're playing the game

plush tendon
#

but once stacked, Anvil and Signet are stonks

pallid quiver
#

Anvil's also easier to stack, since you can control it outside of combat

warm plinth
#

Signet is also harder to keep going than anvil because it loses its stacks over time instead of keeping them the entire out of combat duration. Anvil also has the on-use which can refresh that duration if needed.

pallid quiver
#

augury is also casino trinket

violet ginkgo
#

Hmmm then if I pick 1 trinket which is obviously rageheart, then the other just pick augury instead of brand or anvil?

plush tendon
#

why obvi just rageheart?

#

what content you doing?

violet ginkgo
#

isn't that overall a good trinket for tank? either raid or mythic?

plush tendon
#

its a good trinket for its purpose

pallid quiver
#

It's outperformed defensively by treemouth, and offensively by the offensive trinkets

plush tendon
#

its does decent damage and a on demand shield, but its neither a full off or def trinket

warm plinth
#

It's a strong all around trinket

pallid quiver
#

It does give both, but it's outclassed in specific niches

plush tendon
#

prob worth a 4th or 5th bullion pick

#

I love how bullions are like draft picks now XD

torn gulch
#

at 535 it will have an enormous absorb for what it is

plush tendon
#

still not as a good as treemouth

torn gulch
#

1.5m+vers

torn gulch
plush tendon
#

for that niche

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, not a bad trinket at all; just out performed when looking for specific niches

#

and you're often, if given the choice, looking to specialize with your trinkets, so

torn gulch
#

i think at 20-25% vers it gives 1.8m absorb+ damage
it's a good all around thrinket

plush tendon
#

its fine

#

again, a 4th or 5th bullion

torn gulch
#

treemouth works better because it's a partial absorb+main stats

#

defensively

plush tendon
#

since position in raid I would have to do Mythic Fyrakk to get

#

personally, for prot war raid Id run signet and anvil

torn gulch
#

i will use my second bullion for it as i like it more than splinter and granyth

plush tendon
#

in M+ weekly keys, prob Anvil and boon/dreadplate?

#

higher push keys, Cheat+ Rageheart/Treemouth/Ward of Faceless

torn gulch
#

doing 45m damage with one ability

plush tendon
#

I just do first 4

#

with some rogues and havocs

torn gulch
#

i run with friends and they want all of it it takes like 1h it's not that bad

#

but deios hurts

plush tendon
#

again, for higher push keys thats like if you are pushing for title

#

otherwise, prob dont need cheat anyways (or get value)

violet ginkgo
plush tendon
#

Anvil is easy enough to get at Mythic I level

violet ginkgo
#

My guild has no plan to do mythic though and I am not sure I should bother with it too? I'll look later if I got it on the heroic aberrus on sunday.

plush tendon
#

idk if I would bullion signe?

plush tendon
#

honestly, if you are in a mythic raiding guild

#

I would ask your leadership to give some of the bosses a try

violet ginkgo
#

ah nah my guild doesn't have 20 people

plush tendon
#

well, heroic versions are fine

pallid quiver
#

i don't even have a guild, pure pug life

#

I haven't seen how aberrus has treated pugs yet, but if it's like last week,

2nd boss might be a little hard, dunno

vocal flame
torn gulch
#

i was pumped like that in DS

plush tendon
#

oh, I also forgot about guzzie

torn gulch
#

1.5m main hit +500k/s for 8s

#

:)))

plush tendon
#

Guzzie should be a contested 3rd pick up

#

This is what Nom/Wowhead recommends

#

honestly, not a terrible list

violet ginkgo
#

manic is that good? I am considering augury for 3rd buy.

plush tendon
#

though Im not sure the value of Icon without a coordinated group

plush tendon
violet ginkgo
#

guzzie = manic?

#

why is it called guzzie? keks

plush tendon
#

yea, Grieftorch=guzzie

#

no clue

#

but Guzzie be guzzling

#

and its does a metric shit ton of ST damage on demand and only gets stronger when people die

violet ginkgo
#

Also Gusto why your pick for raid is Signet/anvil, instead of augury/signet or augury/anvil?

plush tendon
#

For raid? They end up doing more

#

of course, fight length matters

#

so maybe Augury ends up better if fight lengths are shorter

vocal flame
#

anyone still using rezens? mine is still doing a ton of damage. Dont have many other offensive trinkets to use either

plush tendon
#

loss of primary stat alone

vocal flame
plush tendon
#

I still use it on my DK over a 509 Whelp thing though XD

vocal flame
#

even random trinkets with better +strength etc dont sim better

plush tendon
#

but there are so many good strength trinkes to bullion/get in raid

vocal flame
plush tendon
#

easier to use, keep stacks up

outer mango
#

Hello , wath would you recomand M+ with trinkets and wath for raid.. when playing prot ?

plush tendon
#

prob just scroll up a bit

violet ginkgo
#

well i think we just discuss that snowie

#

scroll up above

plush tendon
#

also, in pins

violet ginkgo
#

the pin is uh... not bad but I prefer to see about people's choice like I asked you earlier. Why you choose X+Y combo instead of maybe A+B while they are all viable.

outer mango
#

Aah sorry! My bad will check it out thanks

stark gyro
#

If you wanted to craft a third piece for a flavor pocket, what's the recommended slot to do this assuming you already have crafted bracers and cloak? Between neck, belt, and boots I would assume it's neck?

plush tendon
#

neck aint bad

#

boots and belt I think are equal

#

but neck is prob the best spot

#

Hi guys, for Uld any advice on how to survive the golem that does AOE and the puddle drop? It was dropping my friends when it casts even though we tried to LOS. Appreciate some guidance

plush tendon
#

is that forth boss?

It’s just a trash pack ☹️

Hello guys

Trucked in a +10

#

i question what trinket take from bulions

#

play prot on M+ and arms for raid witch guil

#

guild

#

sole flex trynket beter for now

#

that will be the best or smg diffrent

plush tendon
#

Guzzie pretty cool

#

I know Arms wants to secure Lego upgrade

#

and Prot wants Gholaks

#

both prob want Durina Ring

#

so, at best, this is prob the best 4th bullion

#

Guzzie is super sick

rancid axle
#

if u want more arms leaning, could go brand aswell high singletarget trinket for his raid, and decent trinket for prot dmg option m+ wise :l

daring kayak
#

is proc very often or rare

#

brand

plush tendon
#

Signet brand requires good fight length

#

and its bit more annoying in M+.... IDK, I like guzzie

#

then when people die you get resets

#

ok thank you

are groups expecting me to do some weird route in azure vault these days or what

im just too old for these complicated ill pull entire rooms them jump down to some platform crap

#

just tiresome to me

plush tendon
#

I mean, yes you can just press W... but its less fun imo

violet ginkgo
#

Azure is not that complicated though? I just do the M0 route without the jump from ring to 2nd boss plus triggering the first adds that's it the % is good enough

How does theorycrafting even work, like, is it considered theorycrafting when I play Dagger prot warrior for single target dps?

strong forum
#

Na that's just you doing less dps

idle needle
strong forum
#

Theorycrafting involves math, sims, critical thinking and common sense

visual plume

Well my idea was doing great til they introduced a cantrip non-dagger :(

#

Forced my hand

Try again next time I guess

just feelycraft off of raw intuition

#

I just did an 8+ Azure Vualt and had a tough time w. the 4x Pack of Crystal Furys...I tried to use my stops to keep Piercing Shards from stacking, but couldnt stack enough stuns and my stacks got too high. Is there anything else i can do to better handle that pull, or do I need to rely on my group to help with stops?

#

Also, wasnt Intimidating shout spec...idk if that would work there as another stop

plush tendon
#

your group should help handle stops

#

however, I would like to suggest a alternative to that pull

visual plume
#

Depending on gear though, definitely just livable with personal stops and defensives, I did it on my War at 490

plush tendon
#

This pull can be done over the quadra shard

visual plume
#

It was last week, but I only ended up with 2 stacks with no one else in my group doing any stops, but I did also have Intim Shout

lusty grotto
#

stops and purges on their buffs are the only way you do big fury pulls

#

theres nothing else

#

aside from the obvious cycle defensives when having more than x amount of stacks

dawn canyon
#

@ionic fern howd i run into you when i trial something random wokege

Eh?

the hc you just did

i was in too gladge

Oh. 😂

maiden nimbus
#

cool thanks guys for the input, was no issue on tyrannical last week, but smacked me pretty good this week

visual plume
#

This chat is so peaceful

lusty grotto
#

as in dont get more than 2 stacks or by stunning just one

#

use stormbolt for that or hold your shockwave/fear for a 2nd cast instead of the 1st

maiden nimbus
#

very helpful thanks gives me some ideas for nex time

vocal cave
#

why is wowhead listing crit phial over vers one?

jagged pier
#

yer for most things

#

if its a boss like crawl u want vers

#

but generally crit is fine

plush tendon
#

the crit phial is more stat to

#

tepid vers is 745

#

and the crit one is 1118

prisma crane
#

and crit makes big numbers

plush tendon
#

but also more stats>less stats

prisma crane
#

mo stats mo better

waxen frigate
#

Less stats all the time =~ more stats some of the time

Hi is Gholak bis even for M++ ?

lusty grotto
#

for everything

torn gulch
#

yes it is bis in all forms of content

rose pier
#

thx i got scared for a min

median tulip
#

The crit phial is less effective because I have so much crit already that it puts me into the next stage of DR

bleak breach
#

I just use tepid vers because I’m broke and I find the crit one makes such little difference it’s not worth my efforts

#

I’m in a love hate relationship with grieftorch, it’s cool to see your bloated damage numbers. But my OT just pops it whenever the hell he wants and there’s no holding threat off that thing

waxen frigate
#

pop your own

#

or, even better

#

let him take threat and die

#

in order to reset your own grieftorch

it's a win win

lusty grotto
#

yeah that boomie was the ret's friend

#

i think

pallid quiver
#

I keep seeing people flex numbers like that

#

And then i just look at them

#

like

#

it's fine to be happy you improved, but

lusty grotto
#

tbf i did fucking terrible too

pallid quiver
#

Don't act like you're in the 1% top players when you're nowhere near that

lusty grotto
#

also i keep forgetting to unequip the dumbass cheat

warm plinth
#

Seems like the mage actually would've been good too if he was still at 135k even though eh was only there half the run, no?

pallid quiver
#

It just devalues your actual achievement by making you look like a ponce

lusty grotto
#

id say he was in 40% of the run so yeah almost half

pallid quiver
#

He could've still be providing barriers and all

lusty grotto
#

i mean 4 min over time with 4 people only for 60% of the run seems decent

vocal flame
#

blocked hit % is block uptime right?

lusty grotto
#

effective block uptime

#

not general block uptime

#

both are important and one includes the other

urban portal
#

This is good

lusty grotto
#

so what youre displaying would need to be closer to 100%

vocal flame
#

oh damn ok

lusty grotto
#

well both should

#

80% is okay its not completely bad

vocal flame
#

what is the name of the other one?

#

blocked hit?

lusty grotto
#

just general, you can see it in buffs

urban portal
#

Blocked hits is what you want

#

The time doesn’t matter

lusty grotto
#

it does for dps and threat

vocal flame
#

ah ok

warm plinth
#

Blocked hits is what that image is showing. Uptime is found in buffs and is only relevant if there are periods where you are hitting mobs but aren't actually tanking (e.g. taunt swap bosses in raid)

lusty grotto
#

yeap mostly

warm plinth
#

Since realistically you aren't likely to have a high blocked hits % if your uptime sucks

urban portal
#

Unless you click off your buff between mob autos

warm plinth
bleak breach
#

From a raid perspective if I’m not doing mythic this tier, are anvil or signet brand worth it? Most of my fights are within 2-3 mins. Was just thinking grief torch and augury instead?

urban portal
#

Not really no

#

Grief is fine

lusty grotto
#

i agree

#

grief might be a better pick

visual plume
#

If I was playing prot this tier I would absolutely go grief

#

Probs even over Gholak or whatever the weap is called

#

Funny trinket go brrrrrrr

lusty grotto
#

no

#

absolutely not

visual plume
#

Nuh uh, I totally would

#

Sac my friends for damage

#

What more could you ask for

lusty grotto
#

persistent threat gen vs a 2 min cd

#

gholak wins

visual plume
#

Feel like it's more of a
Unneeded threat gen vs 30 sec cd

lusty grotto
#

thats your opinion

visual plume
#

Correct

#

Which is why I prefaced my original statement with "If I was playing"

lusty grotto
#

its still not close to being an important pick realistically

#

especially on week 2 of the expansion where everything and everyone will out threat you with upgraded weapons

#

and even moreso now that leggo can be upped

bleak breach
#

Gholak>grief every day of the week

lusty grotto
#

yeah for sure

bleak breach
#

You’ll never replace Gholak and likely never get myth rank without bullions

visual plume
#

Man, that's gonna be rough when I tank my keys later this week since prot is what I main in M+ and not what I bought weapon for

#

Meet back in a week and I'l let you know if I ever lose aggro in a dungeon 👍

lusty grotto
#

im losing agro on 12s so

#

with a maxed hero strike twice (and awakened 4pc)

#

so good luck with that

#

since i raid as arms, i had to go leggo first

rich solar
#

you guys keep agro?

lusty grotto
#

for the most part

rich solar
#

lost agro to the pres evo

lusty grotto
#

but if im having slight issues

#

people that dont know or are new are absolutely losing every single bit of it

#

and ESPECIALLY people that didnt go gholak

#

because 400% damage on full health mob is incredible snap agro

bleak breach
visual plume
#

I got Leggo since I main Arms in raid

#

Gholak will be like a week 12 purchase if at all

bleak breach
#

They do massive amounts of damage in there, or signet/anvil but they’re harder to use because of uptime.

ruby kernel
#

Rerolled back to prot this patch and I was struggling with aggro a bit last week, but Gholak has solved a lot of that

visual plume
#

Cannot say I ever lose aggro on pulls outside of first 3 gcd's on DH

#

Can they make Sigils generate aggro pls

#

Flame specifically

ruby kernel
#

I'm premade with a Ret a lot of the time that doesn't give me a global. Though I would say generally that charge -> TC -> Shield Charge/Thunderous -> ? -> TC holds aggro decently well

visual plume
#

I basically never pug, so I know how every person I play with plays, so I know when to front load GCD's into a pull depending on who I play with

ruby kernel
#

I think the pally I play with just likes an excuse to press bubble 😄

lusty grotto
#

most ret pallies are fucking idiots

#

trust cause my main alt is one

#

if they dont wait until shit is grouped up

#

they lose so much dps

#

and pull agro

#

its a lose/lose scenario

#

both for you AND for them

#

AND for the key

cerulean tusk
#

Ok, so you ranting about paladins, but what about...

||BDKs who pull 3 packs, dies, then blames the healer in partychat for not healing and then leaves.||

lusty grotto
#

any single ret that pops wings and final reck into a pull deserve to die

#

flat out

#

warranted

#

extremely well deserved death

torn gulch
#

i started to hate doing keys with ret palas

#

they unload -0.1s into a pull

#

pull not grouped not set up properly they just go nuts

#

and i am left scrambling to taunt and regain aggro on targets

#

i have a feeling that dh tank toolkit is teaching very bad habits to a lot of dps

pallid quiver
#

Bonus points if they have full runic power at the time

cerulean tusk
#

0 bone armor, 100 RP, 0 runes.

#

Every time.

pallid quiver
#

On that note, while healing a fast babboo +2, I had a bear just fall over and explode when I wasn't there for a single pack, and he just instantly rage quit

#

The group found a bdk after when we all went "well, no reason to not go again"

#

And the BDK didn't use death strike until the first boss of hoi

#

And he took kess damage than the bear.

cerulean tusk
#

I always see interesting things when I dont skip straight to 10s on my alts.

I wouldnt believe such stories like you are telling - but I have now seen what cesspits WoW contain of players frolicing in their ignorance.

#

... it worries me.

#

Is that me? Am I that, only to the ones a tier above myself?

#

Enough to make one lose sleep thinking about it... what if.

pallid quiver
#

I mean we cleared with that bdk; he was easier to heal than the bear and he fell asleep at one point

#

As in literally just running forward visibly no cognitive faculties engaged

#

So it says more about the bear than the bdk

vocal flame
#

since it has been a while for adding socekts to a neck do the the x 3 star first then the 2 star right?

strong forum
#

2x 2star

#

then the 3 star

vocal flame
#

ok so the 2 star first

#

ty

lusty grotto
#

the reasoning behind 2 star is that 1 star settings are more expensive cause people like to take advantage of others

#

and 2 stars are cheaper

#

so its cheaper to buy 2x 2star

#

than 1 of each

vocal flame
#

ok so odd question, it looks like I am above the haste cap but to go below I have to swap out lower ilevel stuff. Just stay above it?

lusty grotto
#

yeah i dont think you have a choice

#

you could swap some gems maybe

#

and/or dont use wafting rune

vocal flame
#

ok sounds good

bleak breach
#

Buzzing rune and go crit verse sockets/enchants. About all you could do.

#

I had to change all my sockets and enchants at 1 stage last tier until I could swap some gear around.

i wish rend on thunderclap was baseline for Prot, so i can take crackling thunder talent

lusty grotto

if they did that they'd have to replace 2 whole talents, you know blizzard is lazy 🙂

#

bleak breach
#

I miss banners and nelths fury

radiant mortar
#

How do I get aggro fast on new spawn like the wolfs in Nok or the dragon whelps in rlp? I have problems grabbing and holding the aggro especially with paladin and dhs

#

when they full send as soon as the mobs spawn and I dont have mass taunt up I dont get the aggro

lusty grotto
#

gholak

#

and/or do dps

#

on melidrussa use troar

#

or ravager

#

or challenging shout

#

with tclap

#

shouldn't be hard

#

beastcallers shouldnt be a problem cause the dogs wont really kill anyone

#

and even then, beastcallers are a waste to pull to begin with

#

take too long, spawned dogs dont give percent

#

its highly inefficient if you pull them

radiant mortar
#

Oh then I need to overthink my pulls in that part

#

I will try holding my cds for the whelps next rlp and see how it goes

lusty grotto
#

you shouldnt have an issue if you charge and tclap into slam with gholak

radiant mortar
#

Okay, I always stood on the boss to start chipping on the shield and positioned myself between her and the whelp. will try to charge next time

lusty grotto
#

your damage on the boss is reflect, which does nothing on shield phase

#

cause she doesnt cast while shes shielded

#

Where in Logs can I see the defensive impact of Enduring Dreadplate? Just kinda curious.

ionic fern
#

I don't think it shows up as a separate line anywhere outside of "Defensive Buffs".

kind glen
#

Okay ty. I liked the damage on it, but was just wondering if I could see a raw number. Ty Mwahi

ionic fern
#

No raw numbers unfortunately, but it's really strong due to it mitigating damage after absorbs, not before. The plates also only break after the dreadplates and absorbs mitigation has take effect, so it really holds up for us due to IP etc.

#

You will reach a point where you take enough damage to start breaking the plates consistently tho, be it in m+ or w/e..at that point it mostly just turns into a DPS trinket.

kind glen
#

Oh 100%, it felt great when it was up. But I guess that is a good point lol. Oh well hopefully by that point I've got good alternatives.

ionic fern
#

It still deals un-capped AoE damage as far as i know, which is amazing.

Good night mwahi bedge

#

Depends on the person i guess.
I personally don't track it.

raw parcel
#

So how has Blizz not nerfed vdh yet? medge

#

Feels like they are asleep at the wheel this season

lusty grotto
#

this season?

jagged pier
#

blizz doing somthing

lusty grotto
#

you mean 1 whole season and 2 weeks of the recent one

#

so not just "this season"

#

so a whole 6 months almost

ionic fern
#

I usually don't mind one tank being better than the others, but VDH is just stupid right now.

lusty grotto
#

it is stupid

#

but i dont think the magnitude is as big as previous expansions

#

just kinda weird how blizzard has ignored cc, buffs, and stuff thats not numbers since day 1 of WoW

#

also amount of defensives coughmage

raw parcel
#

At least the War Within tuning looks like it might be good for us? copium

raw parcel
#

Huff enough copium and things seem okay

pallid quiver
#

Based on past trends, just pray for a rework

ionic fern
#

^

raw parcel
#

What would you guys want in a rework? Like a wish list?

pallid quiver
#

mop vengeance and shield barrier

do it you cowards

raw parcel
#

I've always felt our durability is fine but would like ways to gather mobs more easily, and some cool shit that other tanks can't do would be nice

ionic fern
#

-Provide competitive playstyle alternative for UF/Avatar, or better yet, make them baseline;
-Make AoE silence actually a silence similar to VDH and move it to General class tree;
-Make SR/TC baseline;

pallid quiver
#

how 'bout blasting the shit out of enemies so hard dps get mad, that's cool shit other tanks can't do

ionic fern
#

For starters.

raw parcel
#

What did mop vengeance do?

pallid quiver
pallid quiver
#

it also indirectly encouraged you to stand in mechanics,

raw parcel
#

That sounds awesome and now I want it

pallid quiver
#

because you'd do shit tons more damage and have stronger shield barriers, which is IP except a 100% absorb

#

So it's a mechanic that's never coming back and for good reason

raw parcel
#

Vdh can silence everyone in the universe, let me be a fourth dps xD

pallid quiver
#

you wouldn't be a fourth DPS

#

you would be the DPS

ionic fern
#

Oh, and give us banners. Thanks.

pallid quiver
#

Vegeance ended up making it so tanks were the top DPS in the raid.

by a lot

#

And that's if you didn't stand in bad

raw parcel
#

erga I wants it

pallid quiver
raw parcel
#

I wanna stand in flaming diarrhea shit and pop off

pallid quiver
#

I think that's also a neat way to give Prot War utility without taking away its class fantasy of big dude skilled in weapons go punchy and shouty

eager phoenix
#

does gholak and shadowflame embellishments procc diurna? wowhead says the schools are fire, shadow

lusty grotto
#

yes

eager phoenix
#

cool ty

pallid quiver
#

Actually, on the banner topic, I think it'd be super cool if there were like repeat effects or other affects if you intervene'd/charged a banner and what not

thorny stone
#

And give us a shout that provides BL gladge

#

this was useful, and we had an aoe pull on heroic leap on some version of the ptr on (shadowlands?)

tropic pond
#

does everyone have aggro problem? i have 511ilvl prot war, and sometiemes ret/havoc reap the aggro from me, even tho am using thunderous roar

grim pilot
#

Theyre extremely frontloaded

#

Most likely them ripping agro is on them

#

If they cant wait

#

When im playing havoc I wait till everything is +/- grouped, then I use sigil, the hunt and only then start doing real dps

#

So if they need to press their final reckoning or eye beam while youre still grouping let them die xd

pallid quiver
#

but if it's like an enha with a flame shock application causing an aggro pull, you might want to press some buttons

hardy snow
#

And upgrade your weapon - more dmg = more threat okayge

tropic pond
#

my wep is 522, i think that is more than enough, looking at the first big pull of many dungeon, i can only pull like ~500k dps top while vdh doin 1 mil, feels like our class doesn't scale much compare to other

ionic fern
#

Scale with what?

#

👀

#

Most of our abilities are capped at 5 targets, with a drop-off after that.

tropic pond
#

yeah if only we can do more

jagged pier
#

i feel like 500k is low im pretty sure i did that in some pulls last season

pallid quiver
#

i'm tellin' you, bring back mop vengeance, ezpz
it wouldn't even solve your immediate actual problem but blizz do it you cowards

raw parcel
#

Well low or not, everyone agrees vdh needs a nerf except vdhs xD

blazing condor
#

no one wanna be nerfed

#

i wouldnt mind being a tank powerhouse that deals 500k overall and can live anything

#

wouldnt wish it on any other class tho clueless

sturdy cloud
#

One of us should get a job a blizzard to give prot some serious love

devout basalt
#

does prot need serious love? other than dam ofc

late wasp
#

I'm not a very good prot warrior player, I'm sure I'm leaving a lot of room for improvement but I'm still hitting 2k+ rio in the first rotation weeks of M+, I think prot warrior is in a good enough place from a general gameplay stance, VDH playijng with what could arguably be a cheat code utility kit is annoying but I feel like prot warrior is a good baseline

#

This opinion is not based in any hard data saying some tanks have it worse or better than prot warrior, just a personal anecdote

hardy snow
#

My issue is that we are like ~20k dps behind top tank specs in raid sadge

blazing condor
#

ppl just make mountains out of mole hills or whatever the saying is

#

truth is every tank is viable and tank balance has been in a good spot

#

at the very top the difference is like 1-2 key levels

late wasp
#

As far as raids go, I'm there to survive, not to dole out damage. a 20k difference between tanks is a minor annoyance at best

#

If I want to think about things that made me hate the pwarrior kit, I'd be looking at mythic forgotten experiments and zskarn

#

those fights....they broke me trying to survive them

blazing condor
#

heard u liekd magic damge

late wasp
#

We prog'd on Forgotten Experiments and I'd always die on the P2/P3, we had a ret paladin swap to tank and I got sat and the boss died 3 pulls later. Demoralizing as fuck

jagged pier
#

i mean u used AA slows

#

and fight was easy

late wasp
#

AA slows?

sturdy cloud
#

I guess I’m a less skilled prot war than a Bear. They are a world of difference imo. I’m maining a prot war this season instead of my Druid to see if it’s just lack of experience

jagged pier
hardy snow
jagged pier
#

less stacks

#

less damage

hardy snow
#

and on experiments dot was applied by aa

jagged pier
#

easy clear times

late wasp
#

I...think we were using those but I could be wrong.

hardy snow
#

I remember me and my co-tank had some worked out moment for swaps at first boss, later on farm we didnt have two aa slows, instead of 3-4 stacks at swap I had 7 keks

late wasp
#

Yeah I remember our "Strat" was always to clear at like 8 stacks or some insane amount

jagged pier
#

yer thts far too high

late wasp
#

Regardless, same approach with 2 prot pallies and the boss was down, so I was feeling pretty shit after that fight

jagged pier
#

I mean u should have been fine mwahi was clearing at 11 as the lowest ilvl in his raid as well at the time

#

Sounds like you werent doing something correctly

late wasp
#

100%

hardy snow
#

dont forget to ask for externals and healers to just pump you when you're close to clear okayge

late wasp
#

on that point, I was told they didn't have any healing to spare because raid wide damage was so high during that P2 to P3 transition with the orbs and other debuffs

#

Literally on my death logs, I'd have like....dot levels of incoming healing aside from the ignore pains and spell reflect/blocks/shield wall whatever, we didn't have a holy paladin in the raid so no beacon healing either

#

But as far as externals go, I'm still pretty bad about calling for htem until it's too late, so that's definitely something I do wrong

solid sun
#

Do you have logs or anything?

late wasp
#

It was from S2, and I haven't gotten into Mythic raiding since then, so I just left it as being bad lol

median tulip
#

The main thing on Experiments is to try to clear stacks before the intermissions. Carrying 6 stacks while you have nothing to generate Rage on means no Indom and IP healing, which is a problem

jagged pier
#

on mythic that doesnt happen

#

the mythic change is new boss spawns at 50%

#

not 0%

median tulip
#

Ahhh

#

Never did M Aberus

#

actually I think I killed Kazzara

jagged pier
late wasp
#

It didn't stop me as much as getting too old and kids 🙂

warm plinth
#

Just don't have kids 4Head

late wasp
#

The snip snip, like my healing, came too late

#

But in all honestly, I raided pretty hard back in Vanilla, I was pretty happy with myself that I could still be relevant in Dragonflight, I have no regrets, but definitely know there's another skill level from where I'm at, so I'm pushing that in M+ play

blazing condor
#

m+ is the comfy part of playing

#

you can kinda pick and choose your skill level

late wasp
#

Speaking of, if anyone in here has gold burning a hole in your pocket and needs T3 crafting mats, reach out LOL

Yeah I've been hoarding things that I won't even use (as long as nobody else REALLY needs it) for the crest discounts

It has a ninja pulling issue in RLP as well

It never ninja pulled for me since I play with apes ass pulling the world every time 👍

ill got a blazebinder Hoof on 506, a pocket anvil 509,chromatic Essence on 509 for offense trinkets.
and Splinter 499 and Dreadplate on 506.

Whats youre exp on m+8 and above, do i need some deff trinekts or do we have enough options to survive without and going for double off

jagged pier
#

always play anvil

#

take another of the first 3 if u want offensive

#

or ither of the other 2 if u want a defesnive option

#

doesnt really matter

plush tendon
#

Dreadplate is fun

#

100% keep anvil on

#

and OCE is cool

#

Splinter prob not needed until higher keys (like going into the high teens/20s)

mild jolt
#

in this case, ill keep splinter and dreadplate in my inventory and eq OCE+ Anvil for now

#

thanks

plush tendon
#

do give Dreadplate a go in some of the higher target count dungeons (like AA/Bracken)

#

it can do some pretty solid damage

#

but yea, OCE/Anvil is a solid setup anywhere

mild jolt
#

im right to atune the oce to versa or haste?

plush tendon
#

Haste

#

or sim

#

if you are playing with other OCE users in a premade, then you try to get all the buffs

mild jolt
#

tbh.. i didnt thought about simming oce... dont know why

#

thx

Anyone know any good prot warrior streamers/youtubers? Trying to get back into and just feel like I’m struggling.

glacial skiff
#

Does anyone know if you can get fligtstones if you like normal aberrus after clearing heroic/muthic?

plush tendon
#

yea

#

hell, you get flightstones from doing non-fated raids to

#

flightstones are super easy to come by, but also super frustrating since the 2k cap is WAY too low

#

should either be uncapped or like 20000

just for clarification, the stat prio is the same in the two screenshots you shared. The important thing to notice is the "</>" and "=" usage. Haste is best. Verse/crit are equivalent and all three are better than mastery.

but as always

i also dont like how versatility is written before crit as well

north silo
#

But how much haste do we want? Already sitting at 7k ^^

humble schooner
#

35-40%, otherwise too much dimishing returns, and you get an additional 10% from talent

plush tendon
#

7100 is the soft cap

#

as you approach that number, its prob best to look at other stats like crit, vers and even some mastery

lusty grotto
#

percents dont DR

plush tendon
#

the sweet spot I find is somewhere between 6500-7100

#

then I sim and get crit/vers usually

lusty grotto
#

yup

plush tendon
#

obviously sim to see what works best for you

lusty grotto
#

cause sims calculates DRs

#

which is why we say sim

humble schooner
lusty grotto
#

no

humble schooner
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

cause any % increase

#

does not add to DRs

humble schooner
#

7k rating means nothing on its own

lusty grotto
#

....

humble schooner
#

unless I have either prior knowledge or have to get a calculator

lusty grotto
#

the fuck?

#

just hover over your haste

#

what prior knowledge do you possibly need

plush tendon
#

the number is better then the %

#

% is unhelpful when figuring out when you gonna hit DRs

#

and yea, you just hover over it on your character screen

#

no calculator needed

humble schooner
#

I am meaning in specific discussion, if I was in game, yeah sure I can check but in a conversation its easier to much mention the percentage, but I guess thats just me

lusty grotto
#

you can also check in armory

#

also arctus isnt new

#

ive seen him around

#

and even if they were

#

they can ask how to check rating if they are extremely new

#

and we will tell them

#

no math needed

humble schooner
#

isn't 30% softcap for haste/crit? At 7100 aren't you wasting close to 1000 rating ?

limpid ruin
#

30% is only the first dr (10%) You lose way less than 1k going to 7100

lusty grotto
#

yup

unkempt hazel

does anyone use a co tank wa

#

mine tracks the explosion dot

#

for w/e reason

lusty grotto
#

weird

#

tanks shouldnt get that

unkempt hazel
#

🤔

lusty grotto
#

did you mean the dispel or the tank swap?

unkempt hazel
#

infused explosion

lusty grotto
#

infused strikes is the tank swap

#

and yes it SHOULD track it

unkempt hazel
#

ye ye ik

#

but

#

it tracks the explosion itself

#

instead of strikes stacks

#

lol

lusty grotto
#

oh

plush tendon
#

i think you want something to track the dot on the raid

#

so you know when you can clear

#

is that right?

lusty grotto
#

yeah you do, for mythic

unkempt hazel
#

I was like hmm, are there no strikes in lfr, while my co tank sitting at 20+ stacks

plush tendon
#

theres probably one in the liquid raid pack

or you can just make your own for that dot

Is it actually confirmed that the text on Gholak is correct? I can't for the life of me get a procc that does 5 times my lowest damage.
If my lowest hit on the puppets is 42k, I should at some point get a hit beyond 200k, no?

#

for clarification, that's the Vakash proccs obviously...

lusty grotto
#

im assuming its maxed

#

343k crit isnt bad

#

171k normal max hit

#

are puppets max health?

#

cause thats when it does its 400% damage increase

#

read the text of the effect

spice orbit
#

Yeah the 42k hit is below 90%. The 171k hit is above 90%.
But if 42is as low as I can go... I would expect at least 210k normal procc above 90%.
It looks a lot like it's doing "increased to 400%" instead of "increased by 400%"

But I might overlook something here...

lusty grotto
#

idk its doing the right damage

spice orbit
#

how is 42k increased by 400% below 200k for you?

42x4=168

I still don't get why they couldn't make a 1-h version alongside it

300% only

Also, what's nerfed?

gholak

Thanks a lot for checking.

lusty grotto

if thats the case then its been that way since last season

They wont make a shield leggo anytime soon either, which is a major bummer, since it'll only apply to shaman, paladin, and us.

lusty grotto
#

i wasnt even aware of it

#

but still

#

its gholak so, even if its to 400%

#

and not by, its our strongest weapon by far

yeah S thats kinda weird considering 2h str leggos only apply to 3 classes as well

so i dont think its an excuse

#

uhhh

cinder nova

Pretty sure Surv can use it.

lusty grotto

i guess if they get the mythic drop

#

yeah

#

its just very rare to see that

cinder nova
#

Because Surv is shit

lusty grotto
#

its not

cinder nova
#

Weird, why is nobody playing it?

lusty grotto
#

but M Fyraak guilds dont usually just meme award it to hunters

#

people are

#

ive been seeing surv topping meters in keys easily

cinder nova
#

Weird. I haven't seen a single one.

#

Then again, I washed out of S3 after I got dropped by my guild.

#

Ever since they stopped having to use INT they've just snowballed into mental degeneracy.

#

We're old stupid, they're new stupid.

humble schooner
#

Surv is a melee spec for a ranged class. I've seen some so crazy damage, I just don't think they scale as well as other classes

cinder nova
#

Tangentially, why in the blue spirulina fuck does S3 and S4 tier not actually work together.

#

What a troll that is.

humble schooner
#

because blizz hates fun

cinder nova
#

God forbid gearing be smooth

#

I sure do love holding items in my bag so I can wait for 4p

humble schooner
#

I said f'it and just equiped what I had, the ilvl increase was worth it to me, even if the min-max wasn't

#

I'll get 4pc either this week or next guaranteed so not a big deal

lusty grotto
#

yeah its a melee slot youre sacrificing

#

but then again

#

i dont think thats a consideration this season or even in s2-s3

You guys weren’t new 4pc on the first night??

lusty grotto

it makes 100% sense

thats the problem

median tulip
lusty grotto
#

VDH

#

bear with s2

a lot of classes went with s3 set bonuses

cinder nova
#

I honestly don't see the harm in it. People are getting 4-set week 1, so what's the difference in permitting it?

lusty grotto
#

prot pally would be fucked too (not that they arent already)

#

not most people

#

its not a big deal

median tulip
lusty grotto
#

and its certainly not fun

cinder nova
#

That's what I mean, it's a meme season

median tulip
#

I have a whole 1pc of S4 Tier

lusty grotto
#

i cant argue with selfish mentality

#

🤷

#

back to the BH farm i go

cinder nova
#

Why are they making gearing in a meme season more of a ball ache by making identical set bonuses not play nice at least during GEARING.

I can't think of a single sweaty clown that'll somehow miss out by the end of the season whose progress was somehow indelibly harmed because a few other classes can gear smoother with S3 4p

#

Eugh... it's just the kind of miserable equanimity that makes the game feel garbage instead of smooth and intuitive. Like, I get why, but this isn't RWF

lusty grotto
#

wait till you hear bdk does 2pc 2pc

#

does it?

#

does it feel like garbage?

cinder nova
#

Yeah. having gear sit in my bag because of ilvl but not sim ups feels like garbage

lusty grotto
#

okie

cinder nova
#

I need either way higher ilvl pieces or 4p

#

And that's dookie design

lusty grotto
#

kk

dusky canopy
#

I personally don’t see a logical reason as to why season 3 and and s4 tier pieces can’t work together if they’re the same set bonus

cinder nova
#

It's mildly unfair for maybe two weeks to some classes.

dusky canopy
#

The bonus is the bonus

#

The only change is the ilvl of the item

cinder nova
#

Because we gotta sweat with hypercompetition in the meme post-season

torn gulch
#

i broke my old 4x489 for 3x522+522 but i was fairly lucky with m+ drops so i had items to catalyse

I'll probably get it tonight, still feels like ass to be staring at ups instead of using them. They axed shit like reforging so that people could just slap gear on and go - quite explicitly, in fact.

dusky canopy
#

Miss reforging

#

Want it back

humble schooner
#

reforging was just an addon in the end

cinder nova

Maybe I'm more bent out of shape by the fact that they make conflicting design choices that fly in the face of reasons we lost neat shit.

when the obvious problem this season has is what homo mac said

fucking buggy as shit

You know you can contest multiple issues simultaneously, right?

humble schooner

but even Remix will be like a week of content

cinder nova

Throne and or SoO are easily my all time top picks

Nighthold was doodoo

dusky canopy
#

Such a good time in my wow experience

cinder nova
#

You know they'll entirely forget to make M staraugur work with Splock

torn gulch
#

or awakened icecrown citadel to celebrate the end of WOTLK

cinder nova
#

I'd fuck with awakened ICC if they added new mechanics

torn gulch
#

maybe with some polish on mechanics

cinder nova
#

Yeah that actually sounds like it'd slap if they reimagined a lot of the encounters to be familiar, but different.

#

but they can't change illuminated sigils on DH nevermind polishing an old raid for fated

they would've never came close to title otherwise

cinder nova
#

That's honestly my biggest annoyance atm, the few keys that'll take me in the 9-11 range are just comatose

#

I feel like if I don't kick something or stop something, it wont get looked at

#

Having to tell people "hey just... hard CC the Dragonbone Axe and you can ignore the bleed entirely"

#

Is agony

#

So my buddy and I tried this we went through a key with a VDH and neither of us used our stops once except kick

#

Timed the key no problem

#

VDH is to much

#

BSV is gonna be the new Never Surrender, guaranteed

waxen frigate
#

Even after I explicitly gave him a stop order

waxen frigate
#

“Can you hoj 3rd piercing shards and blind 4th”

#

“Yeah”

#

doesnt

#

and i get 6 stacks and floorpov

cinder nova
#

bad tank

torn gulch
#

yep i'm sorry i am not a dh

cinder nova
#

Instant full rage bar IRL

waxen frigate
#

We literally timed that key through pure spite from me and my guildie on his spriest

cinder nova
#

Or as nom likes to put it

#

Rage bart

#

Actual 2-man carry

#

Healer did 80k overall HPS

cinder nova
#

Yeah 2-man carry has been the going theme it feels like

waxen frigate
#

We wiped to just ticking out on last boss because pally didn’t swap crystals and healer didn’t heal

cinder nova
#

usually 2-3 players are just asleep at the wheel drooling full hypnotoad style at the meter

waxen frigate
#

Guildie and I pooled all our cooldowns as brew/shadow to get it done

torn gulch
#

a lot of bad players are getting carried by vdh and it annoys me to no end

#

i hope they get fucked next season

cinder nova
#

But it's cool guys, we're getting no utility in TWW

#

Well that's a lie, technically

#

aren't we getting intervene baseline again

torn gulch
#

so blizzard next time can see the effects of giving a tank too much control

cinder nova
#

I recall them making intervene not shit again

#

What'll happen is that when and if VDH gets the shitcan on its hilariously meta CC (which gets way dumber w/Opp roar from evoker), players will whinge and cry and whine about dungeon difficulty and how much they have to do.

#

And then dungeons will get nerfed or a bunch of DPS specs will get utility buffs

#

Granted, I've been gone since like week 6 S3

waxen frigate
#

That was just ppala before

#

Lmao

#

It did the same shit and vdh just exacerbated it

plush tendon
#

I would say VDH is like taking Prot Paladin and dialing it to 11

waxen frigate
#

Yea

plush tendon
#

Blizz needs to decide if tanks should, as a baseline, have the ability to control a dungeon on their own

#

or should it be a group effort

torn gulch
#

tbh i wouldn't give a shit about vdh power
but it severely affects key availability for the other 5 tank specs all the way to mid-high level keys and that is the problem

plush tendon
#

I favor the later personally

torn gulch
plush tendon
#

I play/main VDH right now, I find it super fun

#

but the double util sigil has to go

torn gulch
#

leave it double for dps sigils

#

but not for utility sigils

#

dh always had high dps as tanks

#

and that is fine

plush tendon
#

the change is simple: pump parry to 20%, make it double for only ED and SoF, and maybe reduce the CDR talent from 3-2 seconds

dusky canopy
#

What’s sad is I don’t think I’ve even seen a BRM out in the wild for the past like 6 or 7 months

#

Imagine how those guys feel

plush tendon
#

brew is dead

dusky canopy
#

Kinda dogshit

plush tendon
#

spec needs jesus

torn gulch
#

i did
equinox kekw

plush tendon
#

and the number of buttons is offputting to new players of the spec

torn gulch
#

it has so many buttons it's insane

#

i have space for like 50 binds and i'm afraid is not enough to play brew

plush tendon
#

its partly why I think VDH is doing so well (in terms of popularity); not a lot of buttons, but a lot of really impactful abilties

#

but overall, its a very low keybind spec

#

its such a easy tank to pick up and start playing and you arent overwhelmed when at the start

torn gulch
#

i've seen yoda do a pull on a 16 hoi like 2-3 days ago from the stairs after first boss all the way to second boss
that pull is only possible on a VDH how do other tanks even compete with something like that

plush tendon
#

we'll see in the next expac

#

Blizz aint making changes for S4

plush tendon
#

if they do, Ill be shocked

#

maybe my BDK wont be playing 2pc2pc

waxen frigate
torn gulch
#

yea this season is over

plush tendon
waxen frigate
#

And this is the entire “class changes” section

plush tendon
waxen frigate
#

Yeah we’re not getting shit

torn gulch
#

my objective is just to do better than last season
i'll see if i even get invited to the keys i need
