dps keep stealing my tank drops
then beat them in the roll 🤷

lol pretty much this season
i parse grey on raid rolls, but m+ loot drop is solid pinks
lost on heart earlier today (granted not amazing trinket this season) but better than champion ones i have
Troll heritage armor questline is great
OMEGALUL
I mean it’s .6% free extra damage but yeah compared to Gholak it’s no contest
It's literally free damage
Strike twice comes at no downside
It's not gholak, but forgestorm has to do 3.6% of your overall just to break even with Strike twice
Strike twice is literally the 2nd best weapon in the game
forgestorm also sims lower
Forgestorm stinky
jesus choco
who wouldve thought
what do you guys deskill now in m+ if u still want the aoe shout silence
bloodsurge
perfect ! thanks
you win
no, you win

nobody tell him

the brew damage nerf was indeed bullshit though
you're going from Brew to Prot warrior to 'stay' OP?
yes siiiiir
i am not a cringe lord
i only play real classes
like bear, monk and warr
homie said bear
bear lmao
REAL
raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze
no no no
raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze iron fur raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze raze iron fur
fair enough
ty
Tbf im also playing brew and warrior this season
isnt that every season
i was about to say
and are you winning son?
Chrono-Lord Deios : do the sand pools disappear eventually ?
ok
no, it's just to know wether the sand pools are your enrage timer or not
yeah, so they can fill up the room before the first ones disappear then
si
how do you do a super bloom
just afk at the end
of the tree's walk
err actually you gotta get 50 of the things right?
just kill the mobs that spawn
and then afk near the end thats it
it starts with one thing
just look for the horn in the map
its every hour right
i think so
Ye top of the hour
There’s always groups in lfg too
I end up playing prot only when I cant get into keys as DPS, then realize its super fun
why chargath seem harder than i remember
during chains im taking insane dam
yeah he actually does tank damage now
spell block 🙂
is this trinket any good for m+?
ty
is the 75% mitigation stacked on top of our class mitigations and then subtracted from the absorb?
by stacked i meant multiplied.
Seems pretty decent
yeah its pretty decent
Btw the both ring from vault raid, do they have proc per minute or pure random?
hello guys, which 2 embellishments do you guys suggest for only m+ as prot warr? 2x shadowflame?
filial has the same flags and ppm
if you dont use it while a mob is mid pack, will it silence them? or needs to be an interrupt to work
read the wowhead guide, but yes
you need to land the kick
its not a blanket silence (i thought it was)
I did, just want to know your opinions
my opinions are what the wowhead guide suggests
because its written by our mods and admins
Thx nim I’ll check it later for the details.
is there a big difference between treemouth trinket and enduring dreadplates?
treemouth is the stronger of the two defensivewise
I managed the triple caster pull before Vex, felt like a VDH
dreadplates deal damage, treemouth doesnt
its also a lot of damage
wowhead also has a breakdown of those 2 under the bis gear section
it that from Kaz?
dreadplates? yes
is there an enchant for shield
no
damn
the tank in my raid got dreadplates. He offered it to me because someone told him it was trash but I was like nah since I mostly play arms
its S tier for us
dreadplate the sleeper hit of the season
for any tank really
but I tanked an 11 with S3 shield and only a cheat trinket. I'll have to get a new shield and I guess treemouth will do until that raid comes up again
hopefully gnarlroot shield today
its all multiplicative
dont worry about the 75% mitigation
just pretend its a 1.2 mil shield
even in season 2 iirc it was still an INSANE defensive trinket for prot warriors
i might be mis remembering though
in freehold yea
the issue was that it just never fucking broke
so it did no damage bc the expired plates didnt send off the missiles

Got heroic track gholak should i still prio buying it for bullions :S
got heroic track signet and heroic track alltotem
so i guess i go for diurna and not sure what else :D?
yeah that sounds good
So we spam SS and TC, which piles up rage(along eith ravager avatar etc.).What to dump rage on after IP and SB? Only revenge and exe?
prio is IP/SB cause they are off gcd
Looking to get into tanking after primarily playing arms
and SB is our primary mitigation
Even though i leveled the char on prot
Yeah ik but once you have them up?
Isnt tc prio on multi target?
no
Why not?
Even when you have 4+ targets?
yes
Aha
Thanks
So rotation should be:
-throw weapon+charge
-avatar+ravag+thunder toar
-demoralising shout
And then just keep spamming SS, TC and IP and SB
?
ravager before charge
Aha
and additionally you might wanna demo before SC
but demo after ravager/troar still dynamically updates
What does demo do aside generate rage and reduce dmg taken
you should pre-throw ravager > charge + avatar on same GCD
with Booming Voice talent demo shout makes you deal more% damge
I see
so you can demo shout into thunderous roar / shield charge
yeah read the booming voice description
I will once i get home hah I don't have access to pc til Friday
I press revenge way to much then
Also how to make macro/keybind for changing stances?
revenge is only used to reset SS when TC isnt up, so yeah that's a very common mistake
see the link
it has the macro
Ok
it doesnt do much dps either
was 9th DPS in a 30 man heroic raid on Igira with Idol and Anvil lol
shield slam is number 1 prio in all situations\
make sure to use the SS / IP macro, helps a lot
How high on the list of dps is shield charge?
I did lol
/cast Ignore Pain
/cast Shield Slam
Do I used this as my SS button now?
use that as your ignore pain keybind
No wonder my dps isn't great
that macro has nothing to do with dps
I meant if I didn't wake up and start reading this part of the thread
i feel like im experiencing poverty
lmao
With full crit/vers enchants and sockets
Does IP activate anger management cuz it doesn't anymore on arms
If IP didn't work for AM on prot the class would be licking the floor
thats why you have to literally use it as a rage dump
Ok. Was so sad when they took that away from arms
And we'd do about 50% less damage
it is what it is, we know, we play arms here
youd be better off tanking as a moonkin chilling in bear form i feel like
So literally mainly use rev to proc more ss. I think I just need to move around my key binds a bit muscle memory has me pressing rev all the time
its ok if you use it at the start of a pull for some quick agro
just dont use it recurringly
Doesn't tc generate more aggro?
I guess
its not a guess, it goes on cd
don't overcomplicate it, you'll press SS and TC plenty
Whichever button does the most damage generates the most aggro 
That's how it works
Ok 🤓

um heroic throw actually generates a high amount of threat and it deals very little damage 🤓 ☝️
Correct
Taunt generates highest threat and deals no damage whatsoever 
Except emotional damage which i guess is pretty big
"yo mama so fat she has the health pool of all raid bosses combined"
me, the wise warrior spamming heroic throw in ST to keep aggro 
But you can't use it in melee range! 😛
Silly ranged warrior tank 🤭
that's why i spec intervene
will this work to get the procs?
/cast thunderclap
/cast shield slam?
no, you can't macro 2 gcd abilities without a cast sequence
and you don't want a cast sequence
haha man i must of been carried hard to get where i am
this is the first seaon ive play warrior let alone prot
Ive play all other tanks
Macros aren’t too big a deal, don’t stress. They just make a few things a bit easier
I’ve always just moved with WASD and clicked abilities and did more than fine, don’t stress.
Technically taunt doesn't generate any threat, it causes a fixate for 4 seconds and grants a 400% threat multiplier to the dmg dealt during the fixate

If you don't deal any dmg during taunt, you will lose threat again after the debuff wears off
Frfr
Also have you seen some of the alpha notes for TWW, might be a rebuild coming? They’ve got abilities like TC costing rage rather than generating it.
wasnt it also giving you threat equal to current target?
Thunderclap costs rage for arms
that was for DPS
Prot gets rank2 thunderclap, which makes it cost no rage and instead generate it
Ohhh, I thought I read under the prot writing. Might’ve been a misread by me.
face



i got a signet cuz im too lazy to worry about on-use shit atm
can be out of combat fora lot longer with signet as well
Bind anvil to SS
do not do that
And forget about it
in raid - yes, in dung - hell no
i actually hate pairing abilities together, even when it makes sense to
you want to have it off cd in case you need to leave combat for more than 15 seconds
so you can extend by reusing it
but iirc with anvil you can use it ooc to extend
yea
and i play with some healer pugs who randomly go oom as a mother fucker so i have to wait
Expected value of max ilvl anvil is 21k dps
Yeah but you can have it as a normal action too in case you need to do that. If it's on cool down then pull faster 😛
On a boss in one of my runs today anvil did 27k dps
Sounds like a healer problem

i mean yea thats literally what im saying
under ideal circumstances though, you just more or less slam anvil on CD right?
just get the 5 stacks and only use it if you ned to extend
yeah pretty much
YOU macro it to shield slam
The more you kno
but not to shield slam 😦
i marco it to polo
I threw in the towel on Prot these past two seasons LOL
its ok
If you know you won't need to hold anvil to extend the buff
i also do like arms
im a convert, brew was the catalyst
yea, ok that was my thought, makes sense, thanks @strong forum

LOL bro arms freakin owns
im gonna need a damn WA for tracking the buff if i decide to get an anvil
cant wait to get anvil in my vault
but i think i have time, gonna go for eranog ring next wk i think
you will choco im the only one allowed to have bad vault luck
i did get a pretty baller vault this week though so at least the curse is kind of broken
I’m waiting for 🦉 to show up in my vault
for now

mine was mehdiocre
Nah was it thic
(:
i grabbed anvil though 😦
I would have done the same
might just bullion oce for arms
yeah
But it’s meh without buffs
and at this point not a lot of people would have it
does deflect show on logs? and how do i find it
I’m conflicted between anvil or brood ring next bullion
I’m skipping at least one more bullion purchase on oce
def anvil for me ring from broodkeeper is nice but i need that dam
damage taken
look for the deflected attack
i unfortunately meed to buy weapon
casts x hits y
i have normal mode fyrak weapy
if no hit, its deflected
thanks found it
had to check because i says i deflected dragon strike, from last boss but it still hit me
with events toggled instead of tables
dragon strike you mean
yeah sometimes SR gets fucky
yeah lemme grab the screenshot
server ticks and shit
i had it up at 0.5 seconds into the cast start too
can you cdn clearly
sir
:3
idk i forgot the punch line
goteem
games trolling me
I dont know how in US, but in EU servers sucks today af
well yesterday we couldnt invite people via bnet
NA world servers have been laggy as shit, instance servers have been fine
so idk if that's changed yet
was still not working for me around like midnight my time
but i never relogged after like 9, so idk, at least that works
we still have to be civil in chats for LFG to work though?
oh i meant the friends list
idk i havent swapped it back off
but pgf works fine with the filter on
first one was about friends list, yea
im just wondering if you still need to leave filter on
so scuffed
What arms trinket is also good for prot in M+
signet/anvil
For M+? Aren't those single target only?
Nice!
anvil is very very good
why is ruby whelpshell so doghshit
you have to train it
screw that who got time to do that these days
you click a button one time per day
its a pretty mediocre trinket buy its not entirely useless
SS now my #1 dmg instead of Rev thanks team!

Enduring Dreadplates can also be funnily good, based on Nome's personal sims
So i have 2 515 rings right now (No seal), but crap trinkets, since i got Gholak with my first 2 bullion, would it be better to get a better trinket for now over seal? I know seal is listed second, but i feel like a trinket would be a better choice right now.
or is seal just that good?
Everyone is raving about anvil
That snip was from a +7 just to testing out a new play style (the right play style)
yeah, and all the damage im seeing is that anvil is a good chunk of it for those that have it.
and seal isnt even in the top
vakash in your details is fyrak intel wep ?
gholak is also shown as vakash in details
because its the same spell id
which macro you are talking about ?
Rather, it'll try to cast SS anytime you press IP to snipe resets
It does not replace your SS bind
get a enduring dreadplate or anvil. anvil is totally offensive while dreadplate is very good offense and defensive
Dreamland hasn't been raid for two weeks and I'm already an idiot
Wondered why I would always save leap to come back from dropping a bomb, when I could leap last second to keep damage uptime
Go to run back
line in the way
when fighting chargath where do you guys positiong yourselves when the chains come out and he leaps to you assumming you are in a pug
Near the door
If the pugs have a braincell you can get them to position n/s while you drag the boss from e -> w, but usually it's just absolute mayhem
when he leaps to you can he actually break a chain while leaping or no
There's a weird interaction with leaps and chains, I can't answer for certain because the hitbox do be funky
yo guys, someone got the link the all the change for classe in this patch ? cant find it on wow head
or do you mean for the entirety of the season, that's just the most recent notes
ty !
The thing with seal is that it's "free damage". Every trinket is giving you damage, so the value of a bullion trinket is weighed relative to the trinket you had before. IE a trinket will often be closer to a 1-2% upgrade after removing the value of your previous one, assuming it wasn't just crazy ilvls behind.
The ring is the only ring giving damage, so it's not competing on anything but the secondaries. So even if it's worth 1%, that's a straight 1% that isn't really being diminished elsewhere.
It's still all relative for each character and none of them are making or breaking your potential or damage for the 2 week wait til your next item, so once you have your weapon it's whatever - but it's a harder item to compare by just eyeballing.
Im am totally getting dreadplate. Seems the best overall.
Dreadplate/anvil seems like a solid play
I have the splinter which I luckily got on a dung run and I feel great having that haha. Love the absorb
im still undecided if the 30% devastator will even translate to anything dps wise
isnt its damage on average like, 1,000 or less?
not dps,
Well, base, just on tooltip alone, it's auto damage + 11k
thats that one you have to hit manuall bfa right
does it carry over 30% more dmg to the talent, basically,
im not even really playing, but hey, pwar tuning is nice i guess?
4.7% of someones dps profile just recently, oh well
i agree
no, it's devastator's tip
Any recommended weak aura profiles for prot tanking?
You ultimately just need to track:
CDs
Violent Outburst
Shield Block duration
You can either just make some quick ones, hijack stuff from Nome's profile from wago (it might be in pins, maybe?)
I don't know any of how Luxthos is or anything since I just make my own, but
Genshii's ignore pain tracker is my reccomend. Very well made withadditional customization in the config
Tbh I don’t understand why you’d use an IP tracker considering you cast it constantly regardless
Did they accidentally nerf us?
I swear to god my damage is lower
just tonight
than it was last night
at 494
if by nerf, you mean buff, then yes
I think
they set it
to wumbo
210k overall to 160k
and i am doing everything identical
its tyrannical
can you link 2 logs
of the same dungeon
Don't say that, i haven't even tried my prot with the buffs yet. 😦
I swear to fucking god
all of my abilities
are hitting for way less
and I am doing nothing different
Honestly I feel the same way sometimes, in keys and arena. Shit is weird.
In this 11 av
My overall
is a measly
160k overall
from a 200k overall
last week
same ilvl
Aug?
How long are your boss fights?
This week is tyrannical tho. Last week was Fortified.
2nd and 3rd boss would be causing a higher DPS loss because of more immune phases.
2nd boss was usually getting 1 phased last week, now it could be 2, same thing with 3rd, 2 could turn into 3.
you have no logs from last week?
Shiet this last boss from HOI doesn't hit himself hard enough 
11 - last boss did almost 16m dmg to himself
wut you doing?
The same shit I was doing last week when I did 199k overall
I swear to fucking Christ they put a - in front of that + patch note
Like what the fuck is this fucking bullshit I'm actually pissed
i mean, stuff living shorter and more ST.
It's spiteful
I'm doing >100k ST
When last week I was doing
140-150k ST
at 494 ilvl
I am literally doing S2 numbers tonight
did you drop battering ram for alacrity?
No
thats supposed to be a thing for ST and MT apparently. though probably not as much of differeance as youre seeing
That's a 10% damage nerf to Battering Ram
That wouldn't change 199k
to 119k
though
btw to clarify I'm not arguing with you or mad at anyone here I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it
missing 10% atk speed too
Let me check with identical gear
Bosses live longer
So ofc your ST dps goes down lol
I'm still doing 160-170k ST dps
So idk man
Yeah exactly
Skill issue 
It's not that.
I am performing identical to what I was doing when I was doing 150k ST at 494 literally on Monday night.,
It is not a "skill issue"
Yeah like the fucking sim is the same
This shit is infuriating
I don't get it
That's with M+ talents on too
Are we supposed to change our rotations?
i thinhk what he is saying.. is if bosses live longer, you have less lust time %, so less ST dmg as a result
Right
And on tyr you do less overall.
because the burst would profile
Right but
199k
to 119k
Is inherently
way too much
Idk my damage is exactly the same to last week
and on patch release
300k in AA

Like I'm playing perfectly to my sims
APM, casts, all of it
I've had no problems with prot's rotation the past 5 years
I log on tonight and it's just in the shitter
I know
88k ST
Must've had a bad day
Okay I just wailed on a training dummy and I did 188k st
Re-log, go again.
Nome.... will DBM and bigwig conflict with each other? I need some addon for boss dungeon's CD. I heard for dungeon is bigwig-littlewig right?
Y'all have known me long enough here to know that's part of the equation
I only was in S2/S3 of SL
i just lost by 50m overall in a 12 ulda to a demo lock as arms
I pretty much stop gaf about ethics when I stopped playing for real
Ideally you only run 1 or the other, otherwise you might get conflicting info
And yeah with bigwigs you should also get little wigs
little wigs is dungeons, big wigs is raid
idk if you can mix and match dbm and bw/lw tho
I see... I currently run DBM but DBM doesn't really provide the dungeon boss info, only raid boss. Or am I wrong on DBM?
Dbm should do all of it
Also I did 271k overall in AV as brew with dogshit gear. Nerf my balls next time blizz
Uh... my dbm doesn't react in dungeon though or there is setting I don't know about D:
I've not used dbm in 4 expansions so idk if you had to download dungeon packs for it
oh there is another thing that need to be installed? kk will check on it
if i didnt have to 1v2 first boss in brackenhide overall would be mucho higher
so much time in that boss fight 
dbm does have dungeon packs
and for reworked mythic+ old dungeons you need their expansion packs
bigwigs you just install littlewigs and thats it
what about dbm vs bigwig Nim? is there one better than the other?
Bigwigs is usually preferred
either is fine
Dbm is simpler and easier out of the box though
but thats the 2ndary addon you need for DF dungeons
And in 99.9% of cases it won’t matter what yo u have
Unless we get another echo of neltharion
just have whatever your guild uses
i was using dbm for years, join another guild they use bigwigs
now i use bigwigs
you might need these as well
since were getting SoB back next exp you need BFA and so forth
actually those are raid mods
so you dont need them
just the one i linked
i guess they bunched it up on a single package like littlewigs
Alright thx Nome and Nim 👍
Okay
Did an 8
and we're back to 193k overall
despite low ilvl
I guess it's legit just relog xd
too real
i just need helmet shoulders or legs to drop and i can upgrade to new 4p
Oh I just don't play the game
I just swapped from being a music composition major to being a creative writing major and I just finished finals

I haven't been trying to get gear really
Dont get one, dont waste your life doing 9-5

The dream
got this one on my prot today would you till buy the other wep from bullion? or what would you guys go for?
Fryakk weapon is by far our best weapon, so i would still go for the weapon, yes.
If you got some poor trinkets right now, you can also pick a trinket up now ,and take Fryakk weapon next week for example.
fyi i hav around 440 ilvl and this is my first alt for s4
XD
i have not spend any bullion so i will get 2 bullions this week ^^
bullion items
You still want to aim for the Fryakk weapon down the line.
If you just want to up your ilvl you can also go for a trinket this week, and get the Weapon later.
I'd probably do it like this:
1)Diurna's Ring
2)Trinket
3)Fryakk weapon.
what trinkets would you go for. will prob only do m+ and what do we have that proc the ring?
Shadowflame embellishment.
sorry for so many questions im new here ^^
Which you want to go for.
No need to apologize, that's what this discord is for.
any prefed slot that we want embelishments on?
Yes, Back + Wrists due to lower stat budgets.
There's a list of trinkets.
started last sunday , cant complain
You dont wanna see my main then
Je, please don't.
My shaman alt is higher ilvl than my war, so I'm familiar with this pain

It happens when one wins every single roll in raid and the other doesn't
like i been so lucky with loot on this toon that im tempted to main it
just replaced my weapon with gholak
wiffed first 2 on a mog cos i didnt think i was gonna play this toon but really enjoying warrior tank atm
it feels stronger than the dk atm
new weapon and 1 upgrade on sholders
Hey all, question around the haste cap. Should we be aiming towards 7100 including Wafting Devotion or excluding?
Excluding.
yoooo i have that much haste
Also, don't take that "haste-cap" so seriously, it's not like you MUST have 7100 haste.
i'm the only person who wants gholak for prot adventures in today's mythic clear
hope i get it
I'm sitting at around 6.3k i think and feeling really comfortable with my SB up-time.
Yeah, you MUST have 7099 haste or unplayable
i hope you get two
I hope you get three.

i hope you break my skull and rid me of this headache that woke me from sleep
No idea since i can't see the ilevels.
a trinket that actually does damage or rings, probs, but
cosmetics is the real answer
also above
xddd
dont have time for mogs
Is that the Diurna's ring?
Don't think so, they're both red iirc
1)Diurna's ring;
2)A offensive trinket;
Diurna's CHOSEN ring.
@ionic fern also how does it work
war doenst have fire damage
gholak?
or my emblishment
it works off all the shadowflame stuff, so gholak, helm, etc
i see
Also, the bottom ring is the one of note for prot war
It's not that it's "broken", it's that the ring has higher ilvl, which means extra stats, plus it has a damage proc.
since it does damage instead of an absorb shield
FUCK I CAN ENCHANT MY HEAD? 💀
IM fresh
Think you had to do something in raids to get it.
It was the Amirdrassil little mini questline
Gives a head enchant that does different things depending on role
Players can earn a new reuseable Helm Enchantment that changes based off your specialization from a quest chain in Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope.
frfr 💯
is it nessecary to go for the shield ring as prot?
No.
But again, it's higher ilvl + a free proc..
Not something you should actively aim for tho.
Definitely not worth soup cubes
@ionic fern well now i got the gholak from same raid so no point to buy that now then i guess XD
im only doing m+
raids are boring
damn singet looks sick
signet*
Jeah, signet is also great, if you can keep it up.
Of note is that enduring dreadplates does do a non-zero amount of aoe damage, as well, so if you want to swap the rageheart with another more defensively inclined trink
Jeah, Dreadplates is great.
Hello. Which race would you recommand for war prot ? Dwarf ? Iron Dwarf ? Orc ? Something else ?
My ideal setup would probably be Anvil + Dreadplates (or Treemouth).
If you're aiming for optimale, it's a dorf of some kind
Since it lets you solve bleeds by yourself
I'm currently stuck between deciding on anvil, dreadplate, or grieftorch myself atm
simply have one drop
😒
though mine's only normal
That was one of the only things I've gotten on my War so far
He's not even ilvl 500 yet
The one you like the animations of the most
Dwarf os best however but i always recommend enjoyment first
Night elf for the flips.
U like worgen animations play worgen

I recommend being a cow because big.
I don't recommend being a cow because big.
The amount of times i've had to dispell myself on the first boss of AA is astonishing.
Never forget that with banner size increase, I couldn't get through a doorway in Workshop as cow
so i had to manually click off banner and it felt real bad
So between dwarf and irondwarf, i guess dwarf is better due to the 10% dmg reduction ?
Dwarf is better
I enjoy DI dworf for the size increase
Thanks ❤️
DID only has 1 mog option tho.
Ye. Ironforge guard transmog
how come mods get to use emotes from other servers and we dont
we're being opressed rn 
I’ll try this combo then, thx for the suggestion mwahi.
so for m+ focus you would go for anvil over signet?
Anvil is easier to keep up in Mythic+ due to the active.
That said, Signet still pumps, but it's a bit spicier to keep up.
the all master of totem trinket, is it any good at all?
It's a very solid trinket in M+ for damage, but it's not so great in raid since you're not being whacked as much
^
well im not raiding at all ^^ so i just looking for m+ options ^^
then its a good trinket 
it it better then anvil or signet tho that the big question ^^
Both require you to maintain their stacks the entire time, with Signet being a lot more strict on that
You'd also want to consider Dreadplates, as well, since it does do a non-zero amount of damage in aoe
Signet/Anvil,purely offensive with a heavy drop off if you can't keep them up properly.
Dreadplates/All-master a mix of defensive and offensive.
Only you know if you can keep signet/anvil up or not.
i saw som people talk about fyrak trinket, the dps one
he's goin' to vegas
Augury can be a bit RNG from time to time, since it can low or high roll
It's likely not as worthwhile this time around since we have access to some of the other bonkos trinkets that were in raid, and other trinkets, like dreadplates, got adjusted
i know for a fact i can't keep signet up in azure vault smh
too much teleportin
walk down the stairs, whelp just looks at me
"what, you gonna alert all these mobs for your stacks?"
and i think about it
but then the books
it's all bait, all of it
an anvil i can work with, signet no
arent there critters around the stair area
i don't recall seeing any, but it wouldn't surprise me
i dont know i havent played since s1
I'm pretty positive there's some in the drop after azureblade/2nd boss
You definitely can’t keep signet in nokhud too for sure, that dragon riding too long.
i think i can make it between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd boss area in less than 15 seconds; that's actually a neat thing to try next time I'm there
@ionic fern for dreadplate do we actually want it to rupture one by one? I mean isn’t all the stacks rupture in the end?
It'll generally just not break at all, then blast them all at the end
That actually got changed this season and is why the trinket is good now; you actually get the damage guaranteed now
Oh I see, because I saw in the pinned post it was mentioned about blood DK sometimes having difficulty breaking it so I am confused if we want to break it 1 by 1 or not. Thx for the confirm luerce.
Also I don’t think you can keep signet at ruby? Between 1st and 2nd boss the RP dragon riding definitely too long but can always keep it up from 2nd and 3rd.
What to get with second bullions?

So I’m used to playing bdk and haven’t ever had much difficulty with the first boss of AV, but tried it on a 6 on Tuesday as a prot warrior at 495ish ilvl and was getting absolutely stomped. Seemed like I was running out of defensives eventually for the tank buster and if the healer didn’t have something it was gg
Is this a sign I’m messing up or does that sound normal
all the smash, not the knock back, can be spell reflect, otherwise maintain shield block and IP and you should be good
Is the smash Infused Strike?
You can deflect the main tank buster ( with the dot ) so it will change drastically the fight
The only thing that does damage there is the frontal,and that's not too bad.
Don’t stay melee when he bump you, keep SR for deflect and if you want to play it safe you one defensive when he uses frontals
Vulpera of course
So if the frontal was crumpling me if I didn’t have shield wall or last stand maybe I’m not doing IP right?
if you are talking about the frontal that can spawn the little tree when you hit the sprout, yes, also check your SB uptime usually for warrior that the main issue, you let SB drop for a second and get smash by the frontal 🙂
Alrighty
true
ngl I am awful at aiming the frontal on that boss myself
Do we have anything for this week affix ? im using stun / interrupt....
we are warrior, we do not have anything
so likely fear with interrupt or fear with stormbolt
can also spec shattering throw but its every 3 mins
telling your dps to actually grab their cc
so kinda waste
Je,this weeks affix is out of our hands outside of emergency stuns/fears
Is there a way to lock in a slot in a sim run? raidbots really has it out for my cheat death trinket
dreadplate or fyrak's tainted regeheart for m+?
obviously up to you in the end, but I am a big dreadplate fan myself. Rageheart was nerfed a bit and dreadplate buffed. Can't go wrong with either trinket though
I'm kinda confused thou
it says the dreadplate only works AFTER absorbs
doesn't our IP counts as absorb?
yah dreadplate is really good for us because the plates do not break as often as other tanks perhaps so they stay up and do more defense and after 15 seconds a big burst of damage from all 5 plates goes off
def read pin nome wrote about the trinket
I did read the pin
do we want the plates to break, or we want them to stay intact?
cause I was under the impression they did dmg when they borke
Real simple.
If you don't take enough damage to break the trinkets "plate" thanks to our IP, the trinket continues to absorb damage.
oohhhh
Even if all the plates stay up, they last 15 seconds.
After that, the damage part occurs.
More IP absorbs = plates stay up longer from trinket = more DR value from trinket.
How strong is the trinket dps wise, all totem of the master?
Never paid any attention to it.
Last time i checked last patch it was like 3%.
1)Find a log containing all-master;
2)Check damage done.
This is RLP +12 by some random prot warrior
Made me go check, i got more now.
But not by purpose.
It's just that it's my highest item level gear.
Can anyone recommend me some good target nameplates?
Thanks, 🙏
I would suggest “Plater”
And then go to Wago.io and browse for a profile you like the aesthetic of
thats why Im asking, my current profile is more healer focused
appreciate the recommendation
Sure thing goodluck!
finally beat 300 in rlp 
What trinkets are you guys running?
The only ones i got available atm.
Fryakk's and Augury from last season.
I'm using Blazehoof + Dreadplate atm
Im liking rageheart but not sure what to run at a 2nd
was thinking plate
Either that or go for a more dps heavy trinket
dreadplate and all totem for me (both champion tho)
If you like rageheart, look for anvil or signet brand
I'm stuck with an LFR all-totem so if one doesnt drop next week its going in the bullion queue haha
Yeah that might be the play
Icon and Beacon or Granyth at the moment, since that’s kinda all I’ve got
Jeah, ideal setup is an offensive trinket + defensive one.
For high ones, you might even wanna use on-use defensive+cheat death.
For lower ones you can use double offensive.
"High", "Low" obviously depends on your own familiarity of the class and keys etc.
so the middle ground is the 1 offensive and 1 defensive.


the what now
