I basically ran this but i split up 13 because they didnt know to LOS
and they facepulled the pack before 12 after I said to hug the wall bc we were skipping
other than that went pretty well, you think this is ok for 13s?
pull 12 was hard to gather too a cast went off and killed the healer, 4s stun followed by explosion
thats not needed for a 13
at all
too much high risk
totally unneeded
i did this on my 13 (and this was 2-3 weeks ago)
more than enough
you optimize only for higher keys
13 aint it
15+ maybe
people are geared enough that you dont need to do those routes
as in, shit just dies fast
and you shouldnt risk wiping the group with risky pulls
the reason risky pulls are done is to make sure stuff dies optimally to save time
but if youre overgearing the key level, its unneeded
and at 520+, people overgear a 13... they are just not doing basic stuff like stops, kicks, and/or using defensives correctly if they cant time it
Holding W still plenty enough for 15s
Just don't die 36 times and the key is GG
Honestly this spec is kind of fun if I forget for a second it doesn’t have 5 aoe stops.
agreed
17 is wild
Unless they know to LoS I guess
The basilisks chomp in Uld. Can that be ranged or los?
no
it can be stopped
shockwave/fear helps
DO NOT KITE IT
you will get your melee killed or dps killed
because it fervents
How do I get mages to stand in melee during that pull
For reasons
Noob questions but why does archon have prot warr as #2 as opposed to say bear or pally? I understand why vdh is #1 but what is prot war excelling at
doest this mean when you do the first pull you should walk the basilisk with you to the next two packs and not just charge / leap away?
at our health bar staying at or above 90% for an entire key
damage aint bad either
is it much tankier than bear?
not sure, I dont play bear. but usually were the tankiest against physical damage
so bear probably better at magic damage than us outside or reflect and spell block
is there a place for the latest uptodate MDT routes? returning player, trying to remember general patterns
getting a buff so people wanna play it
That's probably the actual reason
All the tanks are in a pretty decent state overall
Some are just more decent than others
vdh
i wouldnt call this a ranking
if 4 tanks are within "6 score" of each other
or this for a broader specturm of keys
the only take away from these lists is
vdh #1
rest is just

and i call mine, identity crisis

they dont chomp on pull
they have a cd
how many bullions are we posed to have atm? (for a recently made toon)
3 without quest
3 buys
so 6
8 if you did the quest, which im sure you didn't since its a recently made toon
Soooo who is "thee" prot warrior to watch? Vids? Guides?
timed my 13 in there
but goddamn it was painful
Guides on IcyVeins and Wowhead, both are good. For people to watch, Nomeratur streams, Critcake's been moonlighting as Prot for fun on the side and outperforming most Prot Wars on the world, and Sense uploads to his youtube
cant forget plka
Finally happy with bh route
Pug friendly no rotsifners
Don’t think I’ve DPsed all week
Nok, Bh, AA, AV, all feel great. Uld feels terrible, nelt still needs work
The mobs all look the same it’s hard to know what to pull
Oh, is Plka actively vidjaying this season? Haven't noticed if so. But yeah, also good one to watch
I was trying to keep it to people who I know have been active recently, particularly on the strim end, but I do agree on that
hes been playing
cause he has runs
skipped last week though, understandable
fuck sanguine
hes probably doing vdh
What trinket should I go for?
Have the council amirdrassil one and the bombs one from algethar
Playing very very casual
neither of those are good
dreadplates, anvil or signet, all totem, manic grieftorch are good picks
dreadplates + all totem might be the easier to use bet
anvil/signet require stack management/uptime
manic grieftorch can grief you if you use it incorrectly as you cannot block or parry while casting it
farm BH for a treemouth for the best defensive trinket in the game
can someone explain the stun rotation on third boss in ulda?
he has 2 orbs, those are protections, you can remove them with your own shockwave and/or stormbolt (or by running him to puddles)
the third stun effect (via your own stuns or by puddles) will actually stun her, but will give her a damage amp
the goal of that boss is
to stun her ONLY when shes about to get 100% energy OR when shes about to kill someone with an aoe
you want to fully stun her as little as possible
more damage amps means her bleeds and knockback+aoe will hit harder by 10% 5% each stack, so limiting when youre fully stunning her is crucial especially in tyrannical
Damage amp is capped at 5 afaik
does that answer your question?
as a rule of thumb i always stun her above 80 energy and when shes about to do an aoe
unless... there's an emergency and someone is ridiculously low because a bleed is owning them
you do not want to run her over puddles continuously, that will wipe you relatively fast in tyrannical
yeah 2nd stomp is good, shes about 80 energy then
so I was perma moving and throwing all I had at him
watch her model
so how do I do it then stormbolt, shockwave puddle?
and then puddle puddle shield charge?
it doesnt matter how you do it
you have options
i find it better to just leave stormbolt for the last hit
so i can stun her without walking him over shit
do not ever cast a stun right away before he gets the orbs back, you will double stun her
Ok so it doesn't matter how I get rid of the protection
and then you'll have 2 stacks back to back
just stun him before second stomp
sure, sometimes the group is healthy enough that i let her cast 2nd stomp
just watch his energy
and the health of the group
👍 gotcha
and if I stun too often the dmg ramp gets too much correct?
does every stun count so even the ones that remove the protection?
no
those do not count
only when she gets fully stunned
protection removal is safe
alright thx
on a high tyrannical you want to end the fight with about 3 to 4 full stuns
depending on dps
that's 20% damage since 5% each, so 4 stacks
or 15%
the less, the better obviously
should be 2-3 this week since fort

and shield charge too
yeah ive shield charged on CD and sometimes stun him prematurely
Also Nim after you explain the same thing to me at least my life has been easier in the uldaman, just run him through 2 orb and then just casually DPS and wait then casting titanic > stormbolt ezpz.
Will get dreadplates for now until I have more bullions
Yer it is until dps stun for mo reason


has anyone figured out a macro for remix so we can have both our heroic leap and the cogwheel heroic leap on the same button without both going off at once? :p
Before i pop my cds
No but u should be using trailblazer anyway as u spend most or time running out of combat
Its faster
can any one show me how must look the damage overall in a dungeon?
when revenge on first i to it too much?^^
Yes, way too much
This is what mine looks like
idk if thats what its supposed to, but there ya go lol
I feel like its pretty sketchy skipping thsese hunters in nelth bc you cant touch the patrolling bird
and if anyone dies later on they cant run back
greiftorch nice
I don't feel like I'm missing shield slams but my TC is much higher than it on my prot warr I'm currently gearing
I'm doing 6s on it tho for the moment
Can’t skip without Sleepwalk bird
anything that can CC the bird is fine if you do it in the right spot
sleepwalk is the easiest, but stuff like root or incap works as well
mmmh so i mist much more shield slam this is on place 4 or 5 🤣
if SS is that far down, you are pressing it WAY too little
Are you talented into show of force? That will add a good bit to tclap but shield slam is basically full send
(M+) I was suggested to use omniCD to know when to pull big, but I don't want to clutter my screen too much. Anyone with a profile that only shows offensives ?
yeah that's precisely the hassle I don't want to do myself 🙂
it does, and you can share them
oh?

try this
thats mine
brother doesnt wanna spend 3 minutes
Thanks
Always prioritize SS over TC unless you need aggro at the start of a pull
SS should be top DPS unless you’re doing massive pulls like BH or AA or if you’re running 2x bloodborne
thats my dmg from r1 RLP +15 dmg
thats from r1 neltharus 14
so yeh
prio that shieldslam
more rage = more good
i have the same bad habit of pressing TC way to much for no reason, even when i have full aggro
Probl muscle memory from BFA 
pretty much, just did a BH 12 and my TC is way higher than my SS
im forcing myself to SS a lot more now
i dont think tc being above SS would be very crazy for a BH tbh
i also think im wasting violent outburst on tc
isnt there a target count where its ok to do outburst on tc
idr it though havent been playing prot
for aoe damage, yeah
8 iirc
What does this come out to for overall dps
first is ruby 15 second is nelth 14
log dps so naturally lower than details dps
thats as close as she gets lol
I never log mine but my details dps is usually 320 330 or so, my shield slam is top but not by that much
I’m scuffin up
Pretty sure that’s a good chunk lower than 300k if logged
using outbursts on tc can be better for overall dps but its probably always better to use outburst on ss
I’m using a 528 anvil and I’m good at keeping it up so tbh im probably losing a lot of dps by not slamming as much as I should
i had a 490k overall go to like 398k overall on logs
that key had a lot of combat drops though
Around 370k but with aug
Active dps was uuuh
Dunno
I’m being held down by my doodoo weapon
active log dps in RLP without reflects is 321k
neltharus without reflects (cant remember if there are any) 333k dps
ya, weapon is my last slot that isnt mythic
i mean i have a mythic weapon but heroic gholak just better
I’m running shadowflame but I had to spend my bullion on dreadplate because it never drops on raid
i got lucky with prot trinkets
I’ve run bh 40+ times and haven’t seen the trinket yet
Took me 32 runs to get puzzle box
Trinkets and luck aren’t in the same paragraph
Not even in the same paper for me
didnt see tree-mouth yet either
but you aint gonna see me run it either
dreadplates+all-totem for scary mob dungeons
otherwise anvil/grieftorch
I've got Cataclysmic Signet Brand and the Fyrakk tank trinket
I'm considering what to get with the 2 bullion I have right now
well what do yo have
Anvil + dreadplate for me for 13+ and grieftorch + storm eaters for troll keys
broodkeeper ring
myth shield is phat
Yeah, the flavour pocket is pretty damn useful
Don't earthen only get secondaries though. So no primary stat food
Maybe they will be tuned in a way where they’re better that regular food
Oh really didn’t even realize secondary better than str
very similar
Wait, secondary stat food is better for prot?
Looking for a Bullion suggestion. Only doing Heroic raids currently, regularly pushing decent M+ for Keystone Hero. I have Gholak, Diurna Ring, Filial Ring, and Fyrakks trinket right now. Thinking I might snag the Grieftorch. 🤔
yeah go for a dps trink
anvil / grieftorch are both good picks
or all-totem but thats only really good for m+
how's fyrakk dps trinket or signet brand for prot m+?
Which secondary stat food do we like to go then, haste/vers or haste/crit?
brand is really good if you can keep the stacks up
augury is meh now
better off taking other choices
haste/crit
cuz food doesnt change, but our ilvl does
and the more primary stats you have, the bigger the % gains from secondary stats are compared to flat str
getting +70 str is alot more worth when you only have 8k str compared to when you have 18k str
getting there!
How do prot warrior feel about totem of the all master trinket from voti for M+?
virtually 100% uptime of +XYZ secondary and effect
That's not what it does, would be awesome if it did but no
Each effect only lasts 8-10 seconds
But you get one every 30 seconds, so still 30% uptime on one of the beneficial buffs + the dmg procs
i thought it was every 30 seconds after trigger, buff for 30 seconds and 10 second of effect
still, ya good
Yeah nah
^kek
bracken is turbo chill
the scariest mob is the decay speaker
and you only pull 1 or 2 of them in the entire key
brack is hard because I only loosely know the direction I'm moving after first boss moving towards tree
NA pugs tho
indeed i am
i'm more tho
can anyone help with my dgenerate macro?
gross
I used to have shockwave first, then int shout. But I want to switch them around to not DR mobs
Im out of buttons
no u arent
i dont have an mmo mouse
i play with good ole FPS mice
and i have everything bound
shift 3 is shockwave, shift 4 is fear, ez
Do you have like 3 fingers
No chance you’re out of buttons much more likely you are not using all of them
two full actions bars plus both mouse buttons arent enough apparently
I checked, im using all of em haha
ill screenshot later
Im not out of binds
ok but can you help with the macro or not? it worked when i put shockwave first
no
Two action bars with 2 modifiers is like 30+ binds that’s more than enough
cause i dont use macros that do a disservice to me
i even have empty slots
im not even using shift mouse 3
lmao
or shift x
I use a Tartarus pro. No issues with keybinds.
absolutely luerce
0 mmo mice
mmo mice are banned
g502 till a new one comes along
I hate mmo mice. I use a Roccat Kone xp.
my man
My old g502 left click started double clicking. Was the best fps mouse I ever had.
They went optical?
yes about 2 years ago
Welp, guess I'll be getting another one.
i def will after my hero one dies
for sure I can use alt something and control something
crtl is ASS but alt is good
Im just saying 2 full bars dont fit it all, I dont have my macro for stance dancing
and stoneform
health pot and lock rock is mouse buttons
I could put fear on middle mouse
and use some alts I guess
like?
i use ctrl just fine
xd
starting to think
what i can hide
maybe stances into 1 button
or 1 icon
been said before i can hide ignore pain
shrug i have no stance bar showing
sure but im on my remix bdk rn
lmao windows caught the snipping tool shit
just realized the dk WA is higher than its supposed to be
should I be wary of enh doesn't take wf in M+
on a melee heavy comp
like how much value is sunder
they typically dont
only in raids
you can suggest it but its a kind-of out of the way talent
It now competes with high value damage nodes, especially their aoe nodes, and isn't as much of a gain AOE as it is ST. It would literally require every member of the party to be a high value target, including healer, for it to reliably be worth
Does the lack of any healing effect warrior while most other tanks can basically self sustain?
Considering that statement is factually incorrect, as well
so we have very little need for self sustain
since we have indom and impending victory
true
On a 30 second cooldown
indom doesn't even have a cd
if you want to play a reacting tank, play BDK
or VDH
or even prot pala
or bear
just not monk or warrior
monk still has expel harm that people point to
though i guess clearing stagger kind of acts as reactionary
the answer to your question is
no, it does not affect us
in any way
unless if you dont know how to play
yes
just send it
ye 2x 5 mins
ok time for some ui changes
but its like i should always use the second pot after lust right @lusty grotto
no matter the sitution
so its rdy for next lust again
im not sure what you mean
ideally you want to pot on huge puls
specific places
not on cd
or at least not specifically on cd
okay


i also feel like
i dont use defesne stance alot
im puting pressure on healer
by always stanidng on battle stance
doubtful
he could do damage if i was full hp
like i was doing this bh 14 with druid healer
we timed the dungeon
the druid was telling
i was babysiting u alot
mening he could do more damage if he wasnt
you only drop from spells there, use more spell block
On top of that, some healers babysit because they don't know how to use their throughout tools well, so any damage becomes stress to push through. Kneejerk is it's not the case at that key level and you need to leverage defensives more, but
any "current stance" WAs in the chat xd
i dont wanna have 2 icons for stances
got it
I just made a text one and slapped it on my healthbar
Didn't even do anything fancy, just used the inbuilt text wa creator
enhanced it a bit
missing potion
gonna add
fucking healthstone man
taking extra slot...
uhh
i use an addon
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/auto-potion but it takes some setting up
you need to set up a macro and it'll swap with healthstone/dreaming, but i havent set it up to use withering
should work with withering dreams
at least the last update says it was added
i guess i gotta toggle it on
so yeah its just one bind for HS > Withering /dreamwalkers
but you have to make the macro for it to work
did you spec pta
and out of rjw
theres jusy no way
withered contagion needs to be dispelled
immediately
or siphoned decay happens
No wonder ppl want pallies
just ref it frfr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5gLwI3127I @lusty tiger
yeah
after finally finding it here's the emo riff I use | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ZHEPUmzpQ
this is a first amendment violation
so is this where bogur picked it up

talk properly. Pog!
some would say Im bad at dodging storms, but I say I just eat them so my melee dps have a easier live
Storming does damage? 
i did
i speak fluent jakeynese

oh yeah

how is prot looking in tww?
To lose my fear of big pulls, should I switch to the "I will never die" build?
yea easing into big pulls you can dstance them at first
then get used to switch to bstance more and more
I'm usually in dstance when gathering like 5-6 packs.
After they are grouped you can swap back.
you have a dps dps the first pack while i am off to get the rest
die and write in chat "tank?"
is that the actual approach
That is my apporach at least.
kek
Join party, link the route.
If they go ham before the pull is gathered and die, that's on them.
just that I keep trying out tanking and almost always ppl die on big pulls
I'm like 95% sure most people don't even check the route.
and I cant tell if im the one at fault 
uh
not even big pulls tbf
like the 2-3 packs in hoi
Spend a few globals on each pack.
Charge->TC->Revenge -> Next pack.
the first 3, the 2nd and 3rd being like 2 mobs
I also take the AoE Heroic Throw in some places where i do giga pulls for easier snap aggro.
E.g Neltharus.
Or Brackenhide.
its not even aggro issue
just that ppl die to shit and casts
and if I shouldn't pull smth together
That's pull specific.
So i can't comment unless i know which pulls you mean.
But it's a fairly well known fact that the majority of people don't use their interrupt / defensives effectively.
for example the NO first pull, the big patrol + main thing
w/e its called
the objective guys
That should be a fairly straight forward pull.
Can be some bad RNG
But other than that it's healable/avoidable.
So, people bad.

I think there’s even a point where he drops SS and just TC and revenges on the lashers
It’s AA i mean I’m pretty sure I’m pulling the same
very rare i skip sslam
🤷
Whenever i do AA most Lashers die before i get all my damage out. 😂
Sometimes I slow the videos down to like .75 to watch the spell queue and it looks like I’m pressing the same buttons
I barely get to press revenge bc SS and TC is always ready
lol crit you just answered me in the video - « because I’m a DPS player, idiot » 😂
First thought was that I’m using IP too much but I’m never too rage starved for revenge on big pulls
people say that and then i see things like this 
Hey at least that wasn’t as prot lol
But I meant like even if I’m making small changes to the rotation, I’m not wildly off from what you’re doing in keys and I’m not hitting 3 mil on lashers or 5mil as arms and it feels like I’m doing the same thing
I’m like why is he doing an extra 2 mil lol
Frappe mortelle
Could just be that he's hitting more enemies with bleeds etc.
I don't Arms tho, so no clue.
I guess 2x bloodborne helps and the 30s CDR on roar. But if I take that I’m for sure losing DPS to the pulls before and after vex
I mean even as prot
BB is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge on big pulls.
No shockwave and no disrupting shout seems insane to me
you should play those 2 talents
Spell block i guess is fine to drop in AA if you can survive the storm mini boss Ig
im just a dumb dps player in disguise when ive been playing pwar
Y’a i usually do unless it’s a farm key
Remember that you're a tank - DPS is not everything it's about.
You can do w/e talents in keys you are comfortable with, but if you're trying to improve/push, especially in pugs, you should still play stops.
I usually take everything I can to help the pug group
Speaking of helping the group, hunters in Nelth this week
What can I do
There’s no trick?
Not that i know of.
I have to pull at least 4
Don't pull 4 together then. 👀
Most likely 6 in the whole dungeon
I mean 2 manadstory before chains boss
I'm skipping most of them.
I pull the 2 near spawn otherwise no one can run back
Those i skip.
There’s 2 in the two pulls after chains boss and
yeah skip as many of them as poss
I tried it but it’s a nightmare when pugs die to a double scorch cast or a hunter later on
they're toxic af
usually just do more trash around elephant boss and last boss instead
lol as arms yesterday I pick up chain before chains boss and both jump on me immediately
^
I was like alright fk these guys
I’m ready for Tyr week now tho these keys are rough
Although both weeks I have a lot of keys where I just stand there and watch DPS dying
No wonder this arms warrior did no damage in your key
im also trying to figure it out
bladestorm before the adds?
That's good...
I mean is it
Adds need to die and bladestorm is hitting boss anyway
Adds die super fast in most cases.
it's not thaaaat bad to pre bladestorm to stack hurricane if the adds die too fast
Or just get cleaved down.
but i dont think thats what he was doing
Dude says « woah huge fan » and proceeds to get gapped by the tank
I’d be so embarrassed if I was DPsing as war and crit joined and blasted me by 40k
think i did nearly 1m on that boss in that run 
I think 1min roar makes all the difference looks like it was up for every add phase
Maybe he was also taught to play by Erga as i was.
Famous words from him when i asked how to Fury: "Use CD's on CD as Fury".

I mean sure but it was during the germinate haha you can wait 2 more globals
There is no half send, only full send
No ragrets
@lament musk , while you're here.
Is Fury also near 0 with Wasted Rage in m+?
nah you usually waste some rage as fury
WW big culprit
I'm going to assume not like 2.5k, right?
during reck rav it's expected to waste some rage
😂
You have ravager down as soon as you need to WW you’re almost garnered to overcap on big pulls with reck going
2.5k sounds like a lot but it's not something i've looked at so not sure
Okay, thanks.
hi where can i find prot war best in slot items
please do not use the last 3
and there is no 'bis items'
I was running out of ideas
can i run 2 defensive trinkets
Yes.
Illégal
You can run whatever you want.
The question is, do you need to run 2 defensive trinkets tho.
😂
thats a good question idk
i run signet brand and oce but i dont feel like i need any def trinkets yet
im almost certain someone told u how to log the otherday
You are compensating for something you are doing wrong with double defensive trinkets.
have u been?
yesn't
yeah but i see other ppl at 513 run like +14
Nope, no logs.
Hense "your gear doesn't play".
yes because its abotu comfort
Your class and dungeon knowledge carries way harder than your gear.
like ulda first pull is big for me, or on high fort AA first room
I mean even with logs it’s usually the same 2 big mistakes for new prot players right?
I did 13-14s when I was like 500 ilvl 
Ulduman first ya, AA first pull should be easy though
Your health bar should barely move
Uldaman can potentially get spicy, but just be in dstance and don't get slapped in the back while gathering.
Usually we look at logs then say 1. More SS on Cd and 2. Wasted rage means press more IP
And the occasional “use défensives way more”
Press demo on cd sort of thing
Actually I have a question about rotation, when do I press execute on ST? Like do SS and TC need to be on CD or can I replace TC with it if I have enough rage
do u mean more shield slam or shield block
Slam
But you should also have near 100% uptime on block if you look at auras in details
Mine usually around 93-95 which is probably just due to gathering pulls and end of pulls if I let it drop
Look at wowhead rotation. Slam is top prio ahead of thunder clap
Not sure, but it won’t help you
Is there a way to check this in Details or something ?
Ah okay.
just start logging man, two people told you how
Ok so its mostly skill issue on my sie, gotcha
Just experience and comfortability. Sometimes you can pop SW while grouping to help mitigate any damage since your rage gen isn't that good due to running around,but on that pull you might need SW for the bleeds.
i will ironbark u and keep u safe dw 💚

Do you guys usually use treemouths while gathering or SW and then treemouth later?
i use nither
I find I still get smacked sometimes while gathering with treemouth up
Especially first pull of nelth
Ya ya well we can’t all run max DPS
i mean u literally ravager a pack
throw another leap to a 3rd if needs be
first pull of nethls your out of range of the first 2 mobs for ages
and the second pack doesnt hit that hard u can also just leap to the pack behind them etc
i dont run max dps at all btw
Do we count running Plates/Rageheart as running defensive trinkets :D?
i would
plates could be argued its a more well-rounded trink
you wouldnt run rageheart for dps though
I usually ravager the last pack/where I'll end up standing as a queue to dps of "DPS is fine here"
Whether they follow that signal is a different question
It's like when a Pala or DK sets up Cons/DND and then stands in it
They shouldn't really move after, so they're good to actually get aggro
i tried this with him already earlier this week, he doesnt want to install the WCL uploader (and nobody has uploaded his logs)
cant help him if no logs honestly

3rd party programs such as addons or warcraft logs are BANNED and only harm the game! 

(ignore the fact that blizzard literally uses those aswell)
((and by extension also owns them and their rights))
Bro I wish every game had logs and addons
You could properly craft builds and upgrade your character
Without having to feelycraft
No guessing, no feeling
actual facts
God it would be so good

cant really help out if someone is unreasonably paranoid about a website and/or the software it uses for millions of warcraft players
thats a hard wall
for keys, is it worth using a 441 stonescales over a damage trinket? i don't have an S4 scales or S3 scales
ive done up to 16s so far without cheat death
and the only logical reason i would have to use cheat death is for shit youre scared of
not because you need it
but because youre scared doign X pull
isn't BSV bugged still
ooohhh
wrong discord
this is warrior discord

Insane they took the entire expansion to fix it
You ravager a pack just to pull it? Seems like a waste of ravager if the pack runs to you
Okay but your going literally into anoher pack
And what you gunna do with that rage press ip
If anything its loosing damage because its hitting less mobs
🤷
I guess
I usually pull things into a pack that has ravager on it
Hate seeing a ravager out by itself but I guess you make a good point about the rage
Is BSV better now after the change?
Shield charge is nice though, you can still get 100% block uptime without it though right? even if you don’t take bolster
Bolster seems like way overkill
I’m considering BsV + offensive trinket instead of shield charge + cheat from s3
you can not get 100% block without champions bulwark or bolster
Its no better than it was it just works correctly
And no u cant
U need 3 sheild block talents to get the uptime
read the pin
Eh been a long time 2 then
why do you want to rely on BSV again?
i get invited in an AV i get summoned then leader tells me they need to take another tank
and leaves me in front of AV like leaving a hooker on a chilly night at the edge of the city
🤣
you mean they need to take VDH? 
why bother inviting me then...
because.... people always think "Who knows." I mean take a look when you got 1 tank or 1 healer with 3 dps, and there is still dps applying despite they are not healer/tank.
should have told him to take dn
you can skip them with evoker sleepwalk
but we don't always have evoker choco.
I mean if that is the case then technically we should VDH for tank but here we are enjoying Prot Warrior.
okay looks like BSV is proccing like normal
and the healing taken increase is funny
last stand healed me for 1.7million
and impending victory for 1.1mil
I just don't like playing vengeance. All the other tanks are fine. Just the way vengeance plays feels miserable to me.
So you can’t droop shield charge without bolster or you’d have downtime from what I’m reading
You already have tiny downtime with SC
something something bdk healing
stop looking too much into it
So dropping it entirely will just make for a miserable experience
Well on keys where I’m afraid of dying in an embarassing way, I’ll run my s3 cheat death. So I gimp my damage with big loss of main stat. Wondering if BSV with an offensive trinket is more damage than shield charge build with my cheat death. I’ll sim it ig
Really? I must not notice it in keys
maybe not if youre running HR
but you certainly do with ITF
obviously gaps are larger with less haste
You won't notice in short pulls, but on bosses or prolonged fights you will have short downtime

You need 67% permanent haste to get 100% uptime with SC
So BSV still bad?
its usable
What’s the verdict
I can't quantify it as good or bad
If you need it it's good, if you don't need it it's bad
There's always the rng aspect of it where you've just been lucky this whole time with not taking full hits during down time.
it runs into the same league as a cheat trinket
It's slightly better and slightly worse, better cus way shorter CD, worse cuz not an actual cheat
Always count on rng going against you.
I just sat at the dummy for 20mi n
You ran the full easy build?
What did you drop for it then
Haha ok nvm
Probably no indom
based
LOL
its worse than that
its a bad build and shouldnt be used
agreed
It was for science so it's all good.
indom doesn't exist, anyway, according to the masses
the "does having no self-sustain hurt us?" guy
kinda felt like a one-guy
literally said that and corrected luerce and never said anything again
corrected me on what now? i think i was still like half asleep; i only remember him saying IV had a 30s CD when I brought that up and Indom
as if something having a cd makes it suddenly not a tool to sustain yourself
the same logic just adjusted with variables makes it so death strike isn't a self-sustain tool because it's limited by runic power and isn't always available
at any rate It's really hard to get people to understand how much Indom does
also this one doesnt count cause it was death skipping lmao
LMAOOOO
badge build
absolutely horrendous
i jsut made a quick swap LMAOO
FUCK IT DO IT LIVE
this one though, feels like bugged BSV
the rest look good
I think.. Since we are the type of tank who is tanking smooth damage, not like Blood DK or DH who yoyo the HP and heal back, if we dropped below 30% really2 fast without healer can back it up then there must be something wrong with our defensive CD management. I guess rather than BSV or cheat death we can fix our management first.
Plus I think cheat death or BSV is for really2 high key in M+? That is if we can get picked over VDH.
nah
it works like wotn now
and arcane cleave FUCKS
lol yea
so it activated BSV, cuz you woulda been dropped below 35%
and it mitigated that hit
i dont think the last one was an arcane cleave, it was a dragon slap
dude the issue is that i cannot find anything that tracks bsvs cd
was just about to add this to pin and FAQ
yah that what I use
nome come in rescue
bsv actually usable now?
it works now
well its usable and not
if u are doing content were it is useful i.e u are gunna use it and plan around using it
then its great
only took 2 years
it gives you 8seconds of immortality + full recovery
on a 3min cD
so that part is nice
i will certainly fiddle around with it a bit
i dont know in content for 99% of players your gunna proc it tho
shield charge no bulwark is so omega fried lmao
ill update my WA package for it
or at least proc is at a useful time
LMAOO choco
yer but u dont do that
u run the bsv build
if u take it
i know thatsjust what nim had in that key

LOL
making SC the most useless button
To be fair, it'd proc more for some of those mid-tier players because they make mistakes that make them asplode more often, making it technically a useful time.
but they could also just play better
or just an extra stop
k WA pack updated
LMAOOOO
yer it will proc but by then the damage has already passed
i wasnt thinking i promise you jakey
like they would press SW when that happens if not running BSV
It works retroactively, so it's an EHP increase
so they will never learn to premtive SW
i know how it works
it's not great for that purpose, but it'd save some people playing bad
which is why its not always the best thing to play
like the guy who refused to log im pretty sure is running the bsv build and still struggling
🤷
Hâte all of this
Yeah, my point is that it will be of use to them, but it won't actually be the best option and hurts them otherwise, so it can be a trap talent point if you're trying to learn
That's my biggest concern with it in that they will be able to look at it technically saving their life, making them not look into if there was something else to be done
they should just make shield specialization 1 talent point lol
thats how ppl have always looked at it
ppl think its a cheat death
