lust and pewpew
I'll get back to you when I want to spend drums on a heroic
you dont run with a shammy or mage?
No it's a random queue
nice
It's a heroic
Tell your healer to spam dispel you
It's entirely healers fault
For having shit ui to not see that you have a magic debuff on you
Ah that
Uuuuhh...
I only started taking dmg there when I got stunned or disoriented entirely on purpose
cough
Ah, same
It's always 100% on purpose
but yeah, it doesn';t hurt until pull's gone on for like, 2 mins
probably not actually 2 mins
but feels like it
Idk I do like 3mil dps on that pull and shits dead
Brrrrr
Maybe closer to 2mil but yeh
Is the Crafted Embellishment shield with Vers procc good?
no
do u play the above 80% HP Crit embellishments?
Maybe I should pull literally every patron in the room
so there's not things trickling in
i believe in you
I believe in myself
I just don't believe in the random queue people to not run 45 yards away to hit two packs of yellow mobs
Since that happens like 20% of the time
i no longer believe in you
I'll believe in me for the both of us
that's the hardest line i've ever heard
Pull everything possible or you’re slow
no it was glowing lol, i forget dragons do that
don't blame the dragons they just had an entire expansion of glowup
I plan to, ye
Are our main secondary stats going to be Haste/Vers or is it different now?
has been different for over 3 years
I'm just asking just in case. One never knows.
ye nah, its ilvl > haste >> crit >= vers > mastery
offensively:
ilvl > haste = crit > vers > mastery as thane
ilvl > crit > haste > vers > mastery for colossus
So as long as I'm heavier or near cap on haste percent then I can equal out crit and vers?
what cap
there aint no cap
but yes just focus on getting haste
with a good chunk of crit
Okay.
as a prot warr main, wats a good alt tank to have on deck?
Another Warrior
the one you enjoy the second most
💀
another warrior indeed
Whatever you feel like messing around with
shall i dust off the pic
my favourite alt rn is enha shaman or preserveration evoker
I’m considering messing with Enhance shaman
I leveled a Guardian Druid but it is still the same boring ass gameplay.
play the real hero talent and it aint as much
Got a group that’s gonna raid but I don’t expect them to do much in terms of prog so kinda need a shitter alt
I think enhance is gonna be great for that
Hey guys, is it crazy to replace Bloodsurge with Show of Force on a Thane build?
gotcha
Never saw it go above 105 fps and now 285 after just those 3 settings?? What were those? 😮 @strong forum
Hi everyone. I've been looking at [Tome of light's Devotion] for the Magic absorb. Has anyone tinkered with it?
not me, i have excusively gotten offensive trinkets so far
I figured we were already pretty solid on physical mitigation and it might help on the magic side, but I'm just spitballing here
mans is stuck in 2016 worrying about prot warrior magic damage
thats why i mention DF
cause most of the people that think we're weak against magic damage dont know
lol. Last time I tanked as prot was Wrath, guilty
Well, I have a Skarmorak Shard, I'll go grind up Ara-Kara I guess
I feel like I use revenge 24/7. I'm guessing this changes in M+ when you need to keep IP up/maxed?
if youre MT
you shouldnt be pressing Revenge
like in DF revenge is dead last prio
you burn rage with IP
doesnt matter if its capped or not, you just use it to burn rage
dont often type here, but this is relevant
Why would I burn rage on something capped instead of doing damage
because ip is offgcd
currently it looks like this is also obtainable, similar to the cantrip spear, and caster mh/oh
and revenge isnt
This epic shield of item level 350 goes in the "Off Hand" slot. In the Shields category. Added in World of Warcraft: The War Within. Always up to date.
does anyone have/know where it drops from?
and via Outburst
we dont know, but its a bad shield
we've been aware of it since beta
no stam
no secondaries
ye it looks shit
it drops from the garbage
am just curious if anyone has found the source of it
lmao you just blew my mind Nim, now I feel like I need to take revenge off my hotbar
and into the garbage it goes
i shouldnt be blowing your mind, thats prot warrior 101 since SL
Revenge's main purpose is to refresh SS CD; it provides the least value otherwise in comparison to the other button that does that
more specifically since banner SL
due to anger management and indom
and outburst tier
Ive only tanked with brew
Your overall goal as Prot War is to generate as much rage as possible; having an oGCD spender helps facilitate that, Revenge facilitates that
example SW (shield wall, 50% dmg reduction for 8 seconds is really powerful
and you might say, "i should save that for when the boss is going to 1 shot me"
WRANG
nop
u send it start of fight, and then spend rage, which reduces the CD of that, and other cds
and heals u
i save it for when i accidently hit the button on it
i do say "oops" so all is forgiven
and then u have it again faster than u think u will, says 3.5 minutes cd, u can get it down to about a minute or so quite easily with good game play
i can tell you, its the wrong mentality to have for this spec
to save it to save you
so with colossus how does it change? Basically the same except if 3+ targets use revenge?
Colossus makes it so revenge suddenly does big kid damage
So you, when fishing for damage, often want to neglect IP to press it more.
This means you die more, hence why it is not recommended.
with colossus you forego defensiveness and AM/Outbursts, and just send Revenges
but rage management is still important
But it does do more AOE damage if optimized than Thane.
that's it tho
last time i tried and everything revenge build (including BT so it doesnt count) i had it hitting a 393k on god only knows what
So does enough damage to be worth it. I figured you'd only use it on 3+ mobs to shorten the demo CD
you guys are awesome
do 590 gear require sparks? im so lost with this crafting system 😂 😭
Does anyone else get freezes when you press TClap since War within?
I've only heard 2 people exactly before JAxos here
its probably addon/WA related
I turned off my weakaura pack and the addons are the same as other chars
disable all your addons, delete all your WAs, see if it happens
someone said this #protection message
youre probably not gonna reseat your cpu
so start with addons and WAs
graphic drivers, etc
the easy part
i dont think youll get to doing major hardware maintenance for it
also make sure youre not auto logging into an almost full disk
Im having issues with Bartender personally when im in instances, but nothing else.
bartender jesus christ
i thought people would stop using that after the DF UI overhaul
Yeah I used to custom make ElvUI presets inmy free time but gave up on it about a year ago
I only use it to move my menu and main bars to be smaller
you cant have both
they argue with each other and bug out
But elvui is a full ui overhaul, bartender with its new updates is perfect for only moving some stuff. its nice with the df UI changes.
Still no mouseover bars though, once they add that everything else is dead
what the hell are mouseover bars
how bad is sigil? (rookery)
bar only appears if it is moused over
Only one of the most useful things to keep your UI clean.
Its a bar thats hidden that I use for stuff i use Opie for now, but that doesnt require a hotkey
thats on elvui
yes it is
hell yeah
try disable v-sync and triple buffering. Think nom mentioned a third thing but helped me a lot. Havent had a spike or freeze since.
i have 5 whole bars like that
idk why i thought you were talking about something else
thats only half of what the trinket does
that tomes other 50 pages are a MASSIVE crit increase and a huge ST dmg proc
I just found out.. M0 will be on a daily lockout?!
pog
oh shit wtf
looking at notes
rookery
yeah rookery
those 4 you cant even do on HC anymore
starting with next week
so if urge tank mains to farm tome from HC
that trinket is the hidden OP trinket (primarily for raid)
im a lil dumb and do really understand what this trinket do, especially the active
dont*
this one?
where does it drop?
sigil of earth does apparently this
593 ilevel version of this
summons a dude that is similiar to you (hunter if hunter, mage if mage apparently, and does a thing and leaves, this is what it did for me
yup 😄
is it this trinket?
400k when u got 7m hp almost seems like a very low shielding
Not going for top end raiding..
[Tome of Light's Devotion] has 2 parts, the default tooltip is only 50% of what it does:
- Shield Mode:
- grants armor and magic absorb
- Sword mode:
- grants 2k crit and huge dmg proc
after you cycle through "50 pages" of either mode, it swaps over to the other, you can force this change by using the on-use
after using the on-use the mode you swapped to is doubled for 20seconds
meaning 4k crit and 400-800k hits in sword mode
taking dmg advances the pages, ICD is 0.75s
on ST and smaller pulls it ~takes exactly the CD of the trinket to cycle through 50 pages
meaning most of the time you can stay on sword more to get benefit of the huge crit budget and ST dmg proc
staying in sword mode is BY FAR the strongest offensive trinket for tanks in season 1
however the trinket cannot be simmed as it is not implemented in simc and is only obtainable on higher ilvl than 551 ilvl during pre-season
larynx is insane, if you can get your hands on one, SAYS it does 800k over 3 seconds, i had it do 2.81m dmg on a big pull
so as soon as im in shield mode, thats when we press the active
yea
like the active just make you switch
How should the overall stats look like? Gearing but not sure what a balanced build look like.
yes larynx is one of the best trinkets
haste first mastery last fakiren
does being page 1 vs page 49 in a mode do anything stat wise
theres no such thing as a "balanced" build
don't over think it
thx, 9 percent versa is ok ?
i have literally 0 vers
just fine,
ok^^
use as much vers or crit as u want
where does it drop from?
these are my stats
uhhh the spooderman place
also, you say its broken in ST, what about m+
actually, what are the 2 trinkets you recommend for m+
dunno havent had it in m+ yet
okok
one of the 2 spidey dungeons
2 trinkets i recommend are sac and ???
cuz they did a trinekt tuning pass
after beta
so its all up in the air
and depends how much they buffed raid trinkets
sac
mastery trinket is pure ass unless u play well ish after using it
i dis-recomend it
here, hav ea bunch of mastery, how about no
you mean sacbrood?
ara ara sac
yea
can check more here
but judge with caution
since again, blizzard did a tuning pass on trinkets after beta
so the B and C tier trinkets can very well change
thank you
oh and the spare meat will only be avalaible in m0
meat hook wont drop as a key item?
oh, we get to practice those keys soon as zeros from old ?
would be nice if we can get in there on zero refreshers for it, lots of shitty pulls in nercotic wake
its pretty nice, but u need to stay in range of target, so its not always good
example anything that can jump or teleport away
thematically its totally fine
its single target and its harder to use on cd, probably great for raids
not at all impossible
This a general question...
Is anyone else experiencing Guild services not available and entire friend/server going offline and online instantly every 20minutes or so
no
not that often but the everyone going off and on instantly is happening kinda regularly yea
am i wrong for thinking i dont need to bind Rend or Whirlwind
are there any use cases im missing
rend will automatically apply when you press tc
you will just press tc
ww isn't useful you will just press tc
lovely, ty
i think slam exists baseline as well you don't need that
figured that one too but i didnt mention it, thanks for confirming
any reason nomeratur's WA package doesnt track rallying cd?
it's fairly easy to add myself, was just curious
can someone recommend me a good threat addon
plater
ideally one without nameplate changes
this aint vanilla or classic but if you need a threat meter, details has one as a built in plugin
no idea why youd need it though
ok ill give that a try thanks!
weirdge
Aug evoker buff
I quit out out off battle.net and re-scanned the wow files. Guild services are working again. Will report back if the mass offline/online still happens though.
i highly doubt thats on your end
if you press your buttons you wont have threat problem
i have gone outside, wonderd why it was so busy outside everywhere,
I think I found the reason why the Cinderbrews I did earlier had some jank shit happening
It's a holiday; people are drunk
I know for real people pollution
They should choose game with randos or shitfaced, not both
oh yeah agreed
i dont touch shit if i plan to play
its one or the other, not both
i dislike doing both at the same time
Also explains why more than one person rage whispered me for like an hour
drunk people don’t think they’re that drunk
maybe when they’re sober they’d be like “I wouldn’t play while drunk that’s rude”
then after their 6th drink they’re like “I’m actually better at the game now let’s go”
can confirm, that's how a lot think in my experience
I've known a lotta substance users of all sorts being Colorado born
Literally all of them believed they played better under substance of choice
Fuck I did go to a brewery, didn't
That's my bad, thanks for enlightening me, Yogi
F1 F2 F3 F4'
i have zero idea what ilvl that is, but I wouldn't spend any crests that aren't the Heroic dungo ones myself
Listen, you adapt Nim. Those buttons are easy clap if you played old school Mabinogi
Where all your keybinds were locked to F1-12
in some ways i miss when press f1 for help screen
we can get this if we go to fury
750k dmg
yeah, but it puts you on a runaway bee the entire time
jesus exp for alts slows down after 77
cant u run it into a wall or cancel aura it
u can cancel equipping it
anyone with elvui having problems with #showtooltip not displaying the icon?
nerp
This first ascendant prison im supposed to ivestigate doesnt work
ok so apparently i was missing a condition, the macros were working but i added an empty condition and its updating the icon now

there a more dps oriented build im taking no damage in these heroics
Nope, DPS is a tanks job, we take everything we can get
Well I suppose you could take ITF and lose block uptime for a tiny bit of haste
drop indom for battering ram
how does empowered might actually work
Anub'ikkaj's allies share formidable power with him increasing their damage by 30% and maximum health by 50%. This effect stacks.Defeating them removes this power.
yes play colossus
2nd boss dawnbreak
boss has stacks and 3 spots lit up in the city
i go to each 3 spots and kill stuff and then it just respawns
i hate that fight its very poorly designed
yea i don't like the second boss, people always pull random stuff trying to land
the minimap and large map are the problem large map you cant see any player
and both large and small map problem is its very unclear what to do, 3 rare spawn icons 3 gold dots and the boss, wtf
The rare spawn icons are safe zones from the shadow insta-death. The mini-bosses that remove the boss stacks are always in the same spot. The trash is just for count or space to deal with the mechanics.
You just go straight from the 1st boss to the 2nd boss to the 3rd boss in heroics now and ignore the rest of the trash and mini bosses.
you have to kill how many of the 3 guys?
As many as you can survive stacks on the boss
so you should do all 3
For any relatively challenging content it will be all 3
I just kill them all so that people can get used to the route now. Every run is a new group of freshies with no idea where to go anyways and it's a quick dungeon.
Such a waste of time if you are valor or gear farming now lol
i have to play that dawn breaker again just to see that add stuff
gunna make me not like dungeon if i dont work it out now
Gear farming is the best part of wow
so this is like a way to do it twice in one season for some
They meant killing extra trash if you could already survive is a waste of time while gear farming, I think, not that gear farming itself was.
is it, they spawn in the houses which are in the dark, which is where i die
so i have to drag them to the light
Pretty sure the shadow only kills you while flying, or maybe if you land way off to the side. Haven't seen anyone die fighting the minibosses from the shadow so far.
anyone know if a WA or addon that alerts you when the bonus reward is avaiable for random heroic/normal dung queue for tanks?
SO dawnthread lining is my first elbmishment
whats the second
elemental focusing lense?
did you forget embelishments stack?
xd
ye i forgot
i guess
better to do 1 vers 1 crit or double crit?
double crit seems fun
its him and 3 spider people? or 2 spider people and him and then you get the spider people and him last
oh well
hey guys, how is prot warr punishing for beginners?
Because we're squishy as fuck if you don't keep shield block active.
It's also a very very fast paced spec (the highest APM tank spec) which can be very difficult for beginners.
We're also one of the highest APM specs overall
interesting, i thought monk has really high apm
monk isnt
cause its gcd locked
also stop asking this question
play prot pala and be done with it

now that’s too far
even trolls don’t deserve to be told something as cruel as “play prot pala”
I apologize guys. I will post further better questions if needed.
We’ll let you know
He hates the human race and thinks he's better than them because he's evolved to his perfect form
no reason to use cell other than if youre a healer anyway
but yes all healers are moving from vuhdo to cell
I sometimes heal
but regardless of that, there's still times where I wanted to change stuff with elvui and that shit has the worst buff/debuff/etc filtering of all time
i think i would fall asleep if i had to heal dungeons or raid
and also just a general pita config menu especially when compared to cell
Tanking is way more boring
in raid, at least
way more boring
and you click one
well everything was boring in vanilla so
is there a list of stuff that can be intervened, similar to the list of reflectable stuff in the pins?
Is there a rare or anything that drops a decent shield? or something from renown? I got a green 561 from AH.
rookery
whats the weapon enchant for prot?
authority of the depths
guy really wants to burn gold
or radiant power
but that shit is giga overpriced rn
def not worth putting on adventurer track gear or whatever we're at rn lmao
i play 1 char i dont need gold that much
🤷 thats still throwing gold in the garbage bin
you're gonna replace that weapon week 1 of m+
ive been running for it and the one off Coag. so far nada, so I was wondering if there was one elsewhere. Thanks tho, mate.
its kind of a bitch lol
what
some of my enchant are dragonflight stuff ahah
??
you said "way more boring" after I said tanking was way more boring so I thought you were getting at something about what I said
lol
read what yogi said
so whatever you said times a 100
so "way more boring"
which probably should have been "WAYYYYYYYY more boring"
I don't think I'm tanking raids this expac
which part tho, molten core healing or tanking raids
both
why do we want torim's might over gathering clouds
not only raid tanking is super boring, its also impossible to get a spot cuz its usually taken by some officers or raid leader
officer tanks or raid leader tanks is a red flag anyway
unless it's a super high end guild
100%
but it is what it is most of the time
and when you got a spot, your co-tank is the raid leader, so everything is always ur fault lmao
might as well stay dps, die to the same mechanics 300 times and nobody telling you anything about it
i had to rant
yup, cuz the raid leader is always right
thats basically why i dont raid anymore
i dont want to play dps as war
i enjoy prot
but im not gonna go through those red flags again
so HM pug it is
Make your own guild and be the change you want to see in this world
i dont wish to allow that much time to the game, but that would be a solution for sure
just not something im willing to commit in my life right now ahah
rage gain and also clouds is rng
I miss being officer in a guild that raided
didn't give a shit about gear, just raided to progress and play with my friends
was very nice
in Cata i was raid leading as a warlock, fun times
ofc other people were squabbling about loot council being unfair lmao
that too
i wish i was in a team where loot is distributed, not equally, but for pure progress purposes, giving the items to the ones they need the most
it's pretty hard to measure
especially in an average guild
Like yeah some hunter might have a giant upgrade but if he's bottom of the meters every fight
should ya give it to him
i mean, yeah at one point i guess you do it differently
average guild logic is that ye you should cuz it will help him to not bet last 1 on the meter
but i would mostly go for bigger ilv increase first
and then, to classes that deals the most damage, to amplify it or something
im not a theorycrafter and it shows

probably why they made gearing so easy nowadays
or like, giving it to heal if you have healers issues
Generally most guilds do Dps>tanks>healers for gear prio
But there’s exceptions for sure
I think prio should be Mwahi>Nome>Ghash>Roll for OS>DPS
odd question, how do you guys feel about an undead prot warrior?
Better than an Undead BDK
Those mother fuckers died twice in character creation
I ain't gonna trust them to live a pull
Ignore Pain amount / Ignore Pain prediction / Ignore Pain overcap as overlay https://i.imgur.com/KIpDbdh.png
any know how to fix that ?
Maybe I'm not thinking of them but I don't think there are really any bleeds this season? So race really doesn't matter.
dont show that heal absorv
There is in fact a bleed somehwere
I think there's on on dawnbreaker
On the mobs before hopping on the ship
The mug from adds in Cinderbrew first room isn't a bleed according to the debuff, but is a physical dot
noone?
try in #ui-addons-manager
or by leaving a question on that page for the author to answer
WOuld you do the everforged at this point or just a cheapy dredged 590 and wait to see what comes in the coming weeks?
590
ty mate
does some1 know what might cause this ? i use few addons tho, rio, bw , details , plater and oilvl and 2 weak auras
well ppl talk a lot of shit here
that also gives no indication to whats failing
so i, at the very least, cant help you
have you tried turning it off and on again?
pretty much every add on 1 at a time still persist on spamming my chat
tried my luck in numerous discords
i have no idea what instace.thisLine is
try what Mandragoran said
it could be a WA, and bugsack/bugrabber will print out what is causing it
nome is likely sleeping
you use revenge in the opener
and then when the other 2 are in cd
i feel like we've been over this
revenge is not banned from being casted, its just used when SS and TC are on cd
so deep wounds should be the least of your worries
aside from opening on a pack
also devastator applies it (so your auto attacks)
no, will try
also forgot to ask,, why flashing skies over Snap induction ?
because it sims better
how often do you gain TB stacks
and will having one more via Demo make a difference vs strikes on TBs itself?
its consistent damage vs your demo cd with TL
also its very likely you overcap TB stacks with a demo
charges, not stacks
ye it makes sense cus usually when i engage and pop AV i get 2 charges and 90% of times i sit on 2 charges in packs that i start with AV and 1 charge on Demo is overkill cuz i never get to use them all
yes that will be wasted damage
I had this with plater mods/scripts. I would go through those, update/reacquire any that are active and it should stop
!wa
thanks will look into
In terms of boss mechanics, are boss mechanics in mythic more or less the same just hitting harder?
There usualy is always something extra added to them
Most fights are pretty similar, but with an extra change. Last boss of Stonevault, for example, makes it so any time you clear your dot, the instant death portal moves
Then there's some where the change drastically modifies the fight like, funny enough, first boss Stone Vault, where the boss will now periodically destroy all the pillars remaining in the room at once
So you want to break some when the beams come out so the party doesn't get wiped
Guess it's mechanically different enough to warrant reading up on it prior to breaking into mythics 😂
just watch quazii's guides
they go over the entire dungeon
You can glance at the dungeon journal if you've done the Heroic mechanics (you likely haven't since everything fucking dies), since the Mythic mecha are marked with the funny skull
I think I've done 90% of the heroic mechanics because I know I'm new to tanking so I pretend like everything hits 500% harder than it does lol
Jus to teach myself not to be lazy (yet™️ lol)
I mean things die before their mecha even happen
oh I haven't found that to be the case, usually you see most of the mechanics once at least
Like, did you know the duo boss in Stonevault cycles between which boss messes with the cube?
One makes and shoves, the other collects and drags?
You got me there LOL
yeah i found out when dragging an alliance friend there as a duo
So I was like "what the fuck is this"
lul
600k xp/hr, 2 hrs to 75
fel-scarred is actually fun
think it'll take me what, 3 hours for 80?
taking too many breaks
I have 3 80s and I'd say 70-80 takes 5-7 hours total depending how much you faff around?
75-80 in 3 tracks
Legit tho I don't think there's any rush considering how little there is to do atm
I cant understand the appeal of having 4+ alts
So is this too much or?
Maybe if you just wanted some tradeskill bots?
I fear this man
It's me. I'm this man.
I don't think he meant literal bots XD
Right but, I'm saying... That's the only appeal I can think of
Just so you can actually use the mats you find as opposed to AH fodder
I just honestly did it impulsively
2 mythic raid groups, plenty of keys
There was a wowhead article about a guy who got all specs to 60 a few years ago
And I was like, I could do that!
but obviously warrior is always the main
I suppose there are some people who wanna play 8+ hours every day and don''t want to run out of things to do, so alts make sense
So I got all of them to 70
doesnt take 8 hours a day
And barring a few quests, I did no dungeons on any of them.
Of course, now I have to recreate my spreadsheet
i hope you wait cause doing the same 4 dungeons is fucking ass
Because someone asked if they could have the link so they could use it, and instead of making a copy, they fucked mine up.
lmao
lesson learned, send a locked copy
ngl though, this might be the first time it's an actual viable option
At least if you have a good group
i mean its the fastest but im taking so many breaks because i get tired of the same
Yeah
I do wish blizz was more liberal with the world quest spawns
Even if the ones that spawn after a certain point give nerfed results
Anyway, I need to get to sleep; it's past my bedtime. Good night fellas.
o7
Is there a quick way to look for upgrades in a targeted fashion? I think Wowhead is having a stroke
we still have this week to farm heroic trinkets right?
Ive double checked like 5 times but I'm still anxious I missed something
Yeah stuff fires up on the 10th
Is there a group like Gallawyx anymore? just curious
you mean boosting comms? there are plenty
Which one has the notoriety that Gally had?
I assume currently the best you can do is hastemax then ilvl boost
Also you can level a rock dorf starting tomorrow
i cant pick between vdh and druid for next.
Season is long, you dont have to worry 
How ecactly do i sim for gear upgrades ? Guides sugest to go wep/shield > trinkets > gear ( based on stat budget) but my sim tells me legs are better than trinket ( dslice at least)
Thats why im asking is there any reliable method to corectly sim it, apart from siming a specific route ?
simming what? the spec yes
what scenario are you trying to sim for?
M+ , trying to find out best upgrades
Like its minimal difference rn and pretty much useles as i will swap everything rather soon, just for future
u should really just sim ST. if u must sim aoe its simming it as normal patchwerk 1-5 targets 1,3,5 minutes.
but remeber #protection message
Thats what I was looking for, ty bro
anyone tried other tanks? on my warrior i am tankier than my vdh with more single target while being 23 ilevels below
just between vdh and warrior it seems like the gap is so massive that warrior might get nerfed hard
Warrior has a good defensive kit for everything that's blockable and currently the things that actually hurt us like bleeds don't scale high enough. It'll even out with the difficulty curve.
As for nerfs, they may happen or not. Its not like they made grand changes to the warrior playstyle since ... a while.
Some bosses you see the core mechanics. You usually get to see most of them in darkcleft for example but most people ignore them (candle mechanics on the fire dude, and the wax statues on mr kobold)

I dunno if anything in wow is more enraging than "invalid target" when you finish mining a node
Love this with the Ez-mine ones
will the 'standard catalog' or the 'returning catalog' appear again later? Wording to me reads as if both of them will appear/be constantly there in the trading post
but that can't be the case can it? :p
monthly returning items? Guess what I'm asking is if there is one of the two, standard or returning, that I will miss "out on" if I don't obtain them this month
What or who is a good guide(line) to follow when it comes to prot warrior? I mained brew monk for the past 4-5 tiers but switched to prot warrior for this expac. For the monk it was usually the discord/monk website followed by wowhead. Is wowhead reliable for prot warrior?
Personally I just use wowhead and sim
Yeah usually items will eventually rotate back in, but you don't know when
Treat the TP items exclusive until they aren't
but they have two zones, 'standard & 'returning' lol are both of them exchanged every month? if so, what's the purpose of the split?
Yea gear I usually sim i was more curious as to embellishments. Seen a bit of conflicting stuff on that for multiple classes. So wanted to see and check in if wowhead is solid or if icyveins or another source for example was better. Just since monk community (used to be) quite skeptical at times about those haha
Standard just means they're here for the first time
yea cheers mate
Returning means they've been on the TP before
Would you argue they have 'linear' value / rarity / cost? or is there some stuff that's overpriced/underpriced by a lot? what should I be on the look out for ?
It's just cosmetics and up to you to decide if X weapon/mount is worth the tendies to you. Sometimes we've had way overpriced "bundles" of boring or bad cosmetics being like 450/600 tendies
Also you won't have enough tendies to buy things for multiple classes, so you gotta decide what you want
Cuz tendies are extremely limited for some dumb reason
this one for 750. Also, you gain a monthly amount of these trader tokens? How do you obtain them outside the RM-buying?
You gain 1500 tendies each month
From completing the tradepost objectives
500 for free, 1000 from doing objectives
That full set is worth 750 if you like that set, I personally don't so I won't get it
cheers for context
Generally crit/vers embellishs are recommended for all content, elemental lense for pure ST
That's about the extend that we know as not all embellishs have been available or are implemented in Sims
And they throw another tuning pass on them aswell
Yea was gonna wait till week 2 maybe even week 3 till I use sparks
Do you expect we will end up using binding of binding later on in the Season as we gain sockets?
What's the priority for warriors, base stat > haste > crit ? or haste > base stat > crit ? or something else?
Nah doubt that ring will be good
Ilvl > haste >> rest
The more Haste the more gooder
Embellishments you’re very safe with either of the threads as they’re just static stats.
The only real worry with sparks is if one of the items like the embellished shield gets buffed dramatically and you don’t have sparks to make it. If you’ve got cash you can always just recraft a generic embellishment.
Exactly what Nom said
How high can you push a crafted item atm? Seems with concentration I can do at least a 600 shield lol
I imagine people are paying some level of insanity for someone to craft that for them lol
Would also be kinda stupid rn
Yeah it would cost a lot, for almost 0 gain
Some peeps be rocking the infinite money glitch tho. Never underestimate lazy + credit card lmao
Is m0 this reset or next?
Regarding crafting: If I craft myself a two handed 590 for the offhand for fury can I then upgrade a shield without paying crests?
My worry mainly was seeing how much time above 80% we'd have but just gotta trust the healer haha
Is this to suggest to save those sparks and not use them on a 60x item?
Generally our health bar doesn’t moved if played correctly. If we start losing health we’re gonna die
100% free to use sparks if you want to, there just the worry something that you haven’t crafted will become meta and then you have to wait
That's the Plunderstorm Set. Just a recolor, not worth the price.
I.e a weapon embellishment or something like the shield that’s already got its own special effect.
What do you mean not worth the price? Its yellow!
🤨😆
No, I don’t believe so. I think shields only work with shields
Shame, would have been cheaper because I can make the axe myself 😄
As someone who's back to WoW from like 5-6 years ago. What's an example of this? Like some trinket being buffed or added that's bis that requires a spark but oops you don't have one?
Actually it seems that shields are cheaper to upgrade with valorstones at least because of the two handed weapon I wear as fury. So it might transfer to crests as well. I guess I have to test it.
More the case that you have your base epic armour that you put an embellishment on, versus there’s some pieces that already have their own embellishment that you can’t change.
Yea shield only work with shields and other offhands iirc. Not sure if 2h works with 1h though
Also weapons have different embellishments too armour I believe, so say you put the thread on bracers and belt, then the embellished shield or a weapon embellishment gets buffed dramatically you’ve got no sparks to change it.
ah
You have to upgrade/loot/equip/what ever a full weapon "set" for other items to be cheaper. A sword and shield counts as a "set" (lowest of the 2 decides), while a 2h is also a "set" on it's own. Fury is the special case, and gets their offhand/2nd weapon cheaper because of this (if not, it would be expensive as hell for fury)
Both 1h and shield should become cheaper if you have a high 2 hander. Unless blizz f'ed something up ofc.
No, that seems to be true. Thats how it looks on my screen. My 2h makes the shield cost less valorstones. I dont have another char on the account that uses shields and is 80 so it cant be from the warband
mfw Beledars bullwark is like 1 in 400 and it's from the dungeon I hate the most lol
what is beledar's bulwark
Our Ret who isnt even a smith got the recipe on their first run. Luckily they gave it to me. No more Dawnbreaker for me.
pattern drops from the dungeon
Bro just casually hands you 1.5M gold
It was 200k when i looked it up in the auction house
It was like 1.4M when I last checked but it might have chilled out since last night
is that shield good for us?
Is the proc on this particularly noticed?
no it sucks
I like this from Ara Kara but I'm not sure what other trinket to farm
ara kara is good
skarmorak shard and orator's larynx are good too
good is relative tho, most of the trinkets are hot garbage
I guess a lot of gearing options stem to hurry up and wait for the 10th
I enjoy this trinket quiet a bit , dunno why. Seems decent so far for me
Its 135k right now for the plans
Is cheat death trinket still usable ?
No, it's awful
You don't like it?
It's bad
Nothing to do with personal opinion
It's barely over 1% vers (damage), you split it with other people if you get too close, and it has a shit proc rate.
I guess you may as well just get a suitable 571 and replace it next week
Gotta farm bees and nerub bloods
@lament musk playing tank a bit this season or just smashing dps buttons?
yeah, i got the rare yestarday but grind's insane
Summoning
to the prot channel 
hes a good prot tho
Shield slam !!
Did they already nerf that follower dungeon strat ? @shell fox heard its quite fast there ( compared to rest)
they didnt and prob they wont
I hope so
ive been doing prot for fun recently or just when i need to get groups going
Follower dungeon strat?
U spam arakara on follower dung difficulty to farm nerub chitins for mount , also bloods or something can be done there , 2 parts of 3part quest
When will we know when it's a good time to use our omen spark?
Are prot warriors solid and competitive going into s1?
Yeah
Is there any tank that truly isn't?
why wouldnt they be
I would say kinda prot pal, it isnt realy as bad as some make it looks , but if u plan on doing pugs u gona have very hard time
Ppal does a ton of damage but it’s pretty paper
A lot of it's "goodness" comes from the amount of group utility, but it's best with big coordination
i remember my first experience with wow. back in 2007, lan party.
I figured out how to make sure my PuG folks interrupt. Just pop spell reflect.
Any specific dungeon we as warrior can spam farm?
Me but Everquest lol
Any specific dungeon we as warrior can spam farm?
Stonevault has tons of goodies
2 good trinkets, 1 mediocre trinket, a shield, a 1h weapon and even a 2h weapon I think
Some gloves iirc
i cant get a haste cloak or ring 2 for the life of lmao
tried specific dungeons and quit, specific and stay, random and stay / leave
they drop for them! but not for me....
seen socketed city of threads ring drop for someone even lool
Why am I getting warglaive drops as a prot war lol
what content unlocks today, if anything
Last set of campaign quests
Oh and earthen as a result right
Afaik ye
you DARE speak to me....
(its iilidan lines from wc3)
his voice actor did darksiders, only played first one but i loved that game
is the earthen unlocking today actually confirmed
no, blizzard just made a new race that they didnt want anyone else to actually play
it was a jape

It's Heroic only dungeons still, I believe
I like it even though i hate it
i kinda like it, first time ever in my life i got loremaster plus maxing out professions
First time in 3 expacks ice done campaign
but still kinda boring without the key spam
Its thr most alt friendly launch, but im trying my damndest to not make a ton of alts
I over alt and never have a main. I wanna actually try to get really good at one char not half ass at 10
casuals shakes fist
Cant find t he pre m+ bis anymore 😮 ?
Why level alts when the only thing worth playing is protection warrior !!!!!!!!
to get more profession maybe
because its not the only thing worth playing even though we main warrior
Btw what are the advantage of joining the early release like this aside from you get more profession point?
i didnt have early release
but i imagine thats about it
and perhaps being able to level alts earlier
I mean early release as in Season 1
The 3days for extra $$
Because maybe who knows there are player who will join later on Season 2 or 3.
I mean aside from your profession will be higher if you join at season 1 because you get weeklies, what are the other advantage?
🤨
i dont think theyll be higher higher
he do not know
theres just 1 prof weekly this exp
I mean being like 4 months ahead would be significantly higher
But also literally who cares about profs
right but not in knowledge points
leveling profs is easier now with npc crafting orders
Got to level my primary characters during the weekend and then spend the weekdays where I had work for most of the day doing casual world content and dungeons as I pleased
There aren’t many significant advantages
And any that were had will be effectively gone by now
They aren't talking about the 3 day early access
They're talking about
?? the entirety of season 1
The “advantage” is… getting to play the content of that season. And going into the next tier with better gear and experience

I think they are a classic player or something idk
not quite wrapping my head around what other thought process you could have around season 1
Hmmm I see thx Nish for explaining it better than Kanga.
Thunder blast!!!!
well I didn't explain shit
I just razzed you
Mf be like "what advantages do I get for playing Dragonflight, for TWW?"
Obviously I am not asking in between expansion, I was asking between season within expansion but oh well feel free to rage.
every season has a different raid and now a totally different set of m+ dungeons
plus there’s like. a pvp season. I don’t know what those freaks do
but yes the advantage of playing world of Warcraft is that you get to play world of warcraft
pvpers....they disturb me
if I had to guess (again, cannot wrap my head around what they're asking), they think it's like classic where like
some op item from season 1 gets used forever or something
Could anyone link me the pre bis page ? Cant seem to find it anymore on wowhead
icyveins has one i think
Why is everyone obsessed with BiS lists like it’s still classic?

every season
they always are
ppl dont like change i guess and telling them that bis doesnt really work anymore is too much
People want a check list to follow
doesn't matter. It's in life. Do these classes you get this degree. Do these dungeons you get this powerful

maybe it's jsut content creators
making people think they have to follow a guide to accomplish anything
Jakey we might need new pins
Having fun is the true BiS
Especially one that puts a header on
ilvl > haste > crit => vers > mastery
problem with pins is we can never know how many people are reading them
no one’s ever gonna say “I just read the pins and they answered my questions, thanks folks”
Also people have been asking the WW, rend, slam question a lot lately
Yes but I like using
and 
No I agree, not saying we shouldn’t pin the easy questions, we just have to live not knowing if anyone’s reading them
Right
ele shaman discord just had a protracted fight this morning about "1000s of people" needing pre-season bis lists
It was really powerful tbh
I made a couple great jokes that no one laughed at. Really unappreciated in my time
i still believe that most people that come in here do read the pins
you just dont hear about them at all
Guys where are the pins?
i suspect raid leaders / loot council are partially to blame. they want people to have updated wish lists in things like wowaudit to make decision making easier for sitting/loot prio and etc.
i know youre memeing brew, but they really need to make mobile pins a bit easier to reach
