potent quarry
#

Is the increased armor at all relevant?

#

Not trying to minmax just kinda curious. They are very cool so I'll probably be swapping anyways

strong forum
#

theyre basically the worst dwarf race out there in terms of player power

#

but theyre large so

#

thats a win in my book

potent quarry
#

Large + Colossus I'm here for it

lusty grotto
#

wym afm

it capture prefectly what i was going for

#

im never gonna understand why drug stores have fucking apps and they still robo call you

looking at you walgreens and cvs

Can anyone point me in the direction of the best way to increase my gear level? I’m at 571 at the moment

lusty grotto
#

upgrade your shit to 4/8

outta curiosity

lusty grotto
#

room beside the bank

#

with the 2 dracthyr

zealous goblet
#

how many cooldowns do y'all track with weakauras? literally all of them?

lusty grotto
#

should be left of the bank

zealous goblet
#

i've been wondering if i should start uncluttering my weak aura a little, for example i'm pretty sure i don't end up in situations too often where i need to know the second taunt is off cd

shy socket
#

how do we feel about Tome of Light's Devotion?

lusty grotto
#

its good

#

because of the dmg

#

the tooltip does a good job of hiding the offensiveness of the trinket

#

which makes it great

shy socket
#

im using sacbrood and signet of priory atm

#

it sims higher than tomb, but ive heard its good

lusty grotto
#

either way that trinket is irrelevant until s2

#

since priory wont show up on s1

shy socket
#

true true

zealous goblet
#

oh yeah also i wanted to share something i found out by testing out of boredom

#

not sure how many warriors know this, but you can skip the dynamite stun rp in that kobold dungeon by heroic leaping

#

i also do an additional jump after i leap out of habit, but not sure if that impacts if you skip the stun or not. pretty sure it's just the leap

Moms spaghetti

lusty grotto
#

so just get 4/8 with valorstones, i mentioned where you needed to go

#

facing the bank, house on the left

wild hamlet
#

No I know where to go and to use valorstones

#

I mean what is the best source of gear

lusty grotto
#

what you have is the best source of gear

wild hamlet
#

Also best way to farm valorstones I suppose

do we already upgrade gear with vailor points?

#

until 580 it only costs valor puntos

#

which you can and should do

#

îf its adventure track gear

mellow quartz
#

I am fairly certain weathered crests have no function in 7 days time so might as well use em

strong forum
#

well yeah u use your weathered crests to craft 590s

mellow quartz
#

603 from your 14 delves keys is 3/8 Champion track and 593 from m0 is 4/8 veteran track and neither uses the weathered ones

proper roost
#

just be in RWF guild nome

strong forum
#

and you still use your weathereds to craft 590s

proper roost
#

how hard could it be

mellow quartz
#

Need carved for the 1 step of the delve gear

hollow sphinx
#

where do i get weathered crests

strong forum
#

everywhere

mellow quartz
#

You have some

#

If you have done content

#

Look under your currency

dusky canopy
#

Yes that’s why you craft 590s with weathered it makes the delves, M0s, and normal raid easier

#

Inb4 “m0 world tour 590+”

strong forum
#

you mean

#

600+

mellow quartz
#

Start a group yourself. Won’t be much harder than heroics

dusky canopy
#

Tru

mellow quartz
#

You are 580 and make a group titled 600+ is definitely the way to go day 1

dusky canopy
#

Aware!

strong forum
#

fakin watch em

#

will take 1 maybe 2 days

mellow quartz
#

Why not. Get someone else to carry haha

strong forum
#

before people will come with 590/600+ requirements

In the days after reset people will run m0’s like they do heroics now

hey guys i was wondering if its too late to get into the expansion i manually rewrite and translate bibles and have 89 kids

yeah better wait for midnight tbh

#

if you missed first week of pre-season its kinda over, no way to recover

it's too late to level the necessary pets for pet battles

blue crafted items without spark and enchanted weathere crest

#

and whatever stats you want

hollow sphinx
#

well when i open the "crafting NPC" it says 515-590 - but i cant do 590, because the quality is not listed.

lusty grotto
#

you cant put quality in public orders

#

find a crafter in tradechat, and hope you get 1 that can guarantee a tier 5 with concentration

#

then send a personal order to them with what they charge

#

@lusty grotto I think I remember you saying it awhile back, how much is the value from the earthen armor racial, if u know

lusty grotto
#

cant recall

mortal garden
#

Now that earthen is available... will they be a good tank race with that bonus armor?

lusty grotto
#

they will be a race

#

thats it

mortal garden
#

haha so not a good racial passive i guess

lusty grotto
#

its fine

#

the only race that will potentially shake the Dwarf/NE dynasty is Drakthyr

#

other than that, play what you like the most

#

if you like earthen, play earthen

#

race racials dont really matter at all other than in extreme ends of content

fresh cradle
#

Anyone have a pre-season bis list? Got removed from the icy-veins site, all other classes kept it tho

lusty grotto
#

no

#

pre-season bis lists are useless right now

#

thats why they got removed

fresh cradle
#

Do you mind elaborate

warm plinth
#

Dracthyr racials gonna get nuked from orbit when other class get added

lusty grotto
#

probably ghash

fresh cradle
#

It was nice to see which dungeons to farm for specific pieces, that why im interested

warm plinth
#

Having a preseason bis list is like having a level 74 bis list. It's pointless.

lusty grotto
#

open the dungeon journal

fresh cradle
#

easier to open a site, instead of looking through it all my self

cerulean vessel
#

Just run a heroic droptimizer

Thank you for an answer @cerulean vessel

Like ruffles chips

strong forum
#

the reason why pre-season bis is irrelevant is 200% a thing this xpac

#

because a) you can craft pretty much every single slot preseason to 590 with whatever stats you want

#

b) you replace preseason bis literally by ANY season content item

#

the only reason to farm it rn is just because theres nothing else to do or to make your life 3% easier on season launch

i hate mastery on prot war

#

who tf came up with it

#

like im gathering gear for prot war and im thinkin id play fury someday

#

and i cant get stats for both

thats too bad cause mastery is good

in fact having some mastery is always good

Do we know if earthen can block during their charged racial ability?

lusty grotto
#

you cannot

#

no block with racial

covert nova
#

Noted

lusty grotto

that also includes no parries and no dodges

#

but parries are the only one there that we're concerned about

aside from block

is its appropiate for prot?

night citrus
#

blessed with feverflare today

tribal wharf
#

u can buy veteran (584) at a vendor

night citrus
#

crit vers and not gonna upgrade them that far anyway

tribal wharf
#

fair, but they have a higher ilvl cap overall

night citrus
#

are you upgrading them to that cap?

#

also not grinding renown lol

tribal wharf
#

im valormaxxing ya lol

lusty grotto
#

yogi (deathray44) is 100% correct

tribal wharf
#

yep, what im trying to say is i agree with him but ultimately its not the true path

lusty grotto
#

and his vet piece is a better upgrade

night citrus
#

i mean if you want to grind renown to get gear that is replaced by m0 that is your choice

#

just saying if i upgrade both of those shoulders to 590 id rather have haste mast, and im not wasting the higher level crests on the vendor option

tribal wharf
#

there is a haste mastery helmet 584 veteran in gundargaz

#

if you are interested in that for 2600 resonances

waxen quarry
#

idk what else to do except farm for these pieces

night citrus
#

does it take renown?

tropic tangle
#

farm xmog, do profs, etc

waxen quarry
#

yeah its renown

mighty valley
#

level renown, level an alt, watch a movie, play a sport, call your mom

vague abyss
tribal wharf
#

earthen loading screen is sick

vague abyss
#

that said, im also valormaxxing, all my gear to 580, and renown to 584

night citrus
#

ah maybe

#

either way not worth grinding renown since i wasnt spamming wq

vague abyss
#

im going to wait until all the stuff in week 1 drops (t8 delves, raid, weeklies, some m0) before deciding to upgrade stuff

tribal wharf
#

im thinking about chaning warrior to an earthen

night citrus
#

dont do it

vague abyss
#

im a vulpera warrior, we are bis already /s

warm plinth
#

Do it

tribal wharf
#

ehhhhh see what happens

#

so, probably not, because he will have finesse, which is gathering

#

im already too far into 2 production professions

#

seems like it would be best for paladin

#

somethings gettin turned into earthen, thats all i know for sure

valid sleet
#

Can we not leap charge anymore or am i just dumb?

toxic pewter
#

nope not dumb, during beta they made it so when you leap theres a gcd literally only for charge until you land. You can still shield charge.. lol

I reported it during beta as feedback but no one else seemed to care except for me when i mentioned it in here and in the wow forums warr topic too

valid sleet
#

thats so lame

#

so unintended you think? or they just dont want us having fun?

vague abyss
#

holy damn, looking into the enchants and they are asking 20k for a wepaon enchant, and the cheap one at that

tribal wharf
#

too bad earthen cant be dk

#

guess it makes sense in the lore somehow

pallid quiver
#

I mean, they're robots first off, and they haven't died yet or anything to be raised as undead if they were living

#

I'd have preferred to have been a DK Earthen, being completely honest, but I understand why it's a no go

tribal wharf
#

my paladin is a complete blank slate so maybe that, lots of my other classes have unique newer races

#

so, i'd have to wait for the race change sale again, buy bunch on discount

pallid quiver
#

Honestly, if Horde had the Earthen dorfs from the start, I would never have been a cow

cerulean tusk
pallid quiver
#

but I was Horde, so I played a cow

#

I'm also not changing, just because I'm invested in my character as a character I play

#

and being a cow's part of that identity

cerulean tusk
#

With domination magic, the crown, now gone - there won't be anymore DKs deadge

pallid quiver
cerulean tusk
tribal wharf
#

los stamina and radial multi target stun and iconic game and life transcending image of a "tank" person

#

bull in china shop, goes the expression

pallid quiver
#

I still thematically like how DKs work a non-zero amount; I like spell blade kinda packages a non-zero amount, discounting paladin type things which I'm generally less down on

#

so do it blizz, make DKs again, kill the rock people tomorrow kthx

cerulean tusk
#

But rock ppl can't be turned to DKs, as there is no domination magic

waxen cradle
#

how are earthen comparing to the other dwarven races as comparing ?

regular dwarf is too strong

#

but i like to play illegal bdk talents and i only really know how to do the icy spiky build for dk dps, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too stupid to play UH

It may not make sense, it may not fit, but they can bring it back. Blizz can do whatever they want since they create the story

Has anyone crafted a piece already or are all of you waiti g for 2h to be opened up?

pallid quiver
#

I'm waiting to craft anything at all until like, Mythic week at the earliest

bleak breach
#

I crafted bracers already

oblique falcon
#

Was thinking of bracers to, since they are kinda bis. Just not sure

bleak breach
#

Can always change the embellishment if there is a change to what we use

#

I’d hold your 2nd spark though

pallid quiver
#

inb4 bracers get nerfed to be a performance loss compared to no bracers

bleak breach
#

Then I will just craft a different item

#

No biggy

#

The only way they could do that is to make the embellishment scale with better items, which I can’t see happening anyway so it will be fine.

cerulean tusk
#

You say that

#

But they do love to murder items

#

Or opop buff otherw

#

Kinda at random

bleak breach
#

It could never be a loss over a plain set of bracers, worst case I will craft a different piece of armour over my bracers with 3rd spark.

#

I’m holding 2nd spark until raid launch

yoo, is there a reason why no spec takes Fight through the flames talent, the one with the 6% DR on magical damage, especialyl since prot warr struggles the most with magical damagE?

lusty grotto
#

because we dont struggle with magical damage

#

since DF

#

more specifically since the introduction of spell block and spell reflect lasting its full duration with magic DR

#

as well as dstance

#

anyone that says otherwise is hard stuck in pre-DF WoW

#

5% dr ONLY available in dstance is simply NOT worth the talent point

urban bane
#

yeah. it isnt that much extra dr moreover. kinda trap talent

makes sense, thanks

onyx hearth
#

I played all the tanks except BDK and by far prot is the tankiest. I fell immortal with this shit, praying so they don't nerf it

if anything we'll need damage buffs when tier hits

cause the other tanks will smoke us

also just to be clear, "feels tankier" doesnt mean much

especially if you play the other tanks incorrectly

with either build though can't tell what's outputting more

we have the numbers and have had them since beta

the difference between MT and col is around 20k on M+ builds

if you're a player that's capable of getting title, you can get it with colosus

if youve been paying attention

"enough gear" isnt gonna happen as fast as DF

so, do we finally have some sort of hint about what might end up being meta in m+

#

or still not

jagged pier
#

we wont know for about a month into the season

#

so no

opal forum
#

😦

ionic fern
#

Out of curiosity, why does it matter to you?

opal forum
#

I just like playing the stronger ones, might sound dumb for you, but its just a game and thats how i like playing it. I mean i wont play DH or Pal cuz i hate it and if war is among the top ill play it. But even if I dont do any content that require the perfect setup, i still enjoy feeling a lil stronger

#

and honestly as pug, it helps playing the right spec

ionic fern
#

Mm, okay.
Don't you think you would "feel stronger" if you mastered the class?

opal forum
#

yes, but as far as war go, every time theres something about the class that im trying to understand more, i come here for some info, or i look at the wowhead

#

i would say that my bigger problems are mechanicaly

#

and like, its just a game for me

urban portal
#

Tank just has much more skill ceiling than dps

#

So there’s actually a reason to master it

opal forum
#

thats also why i play prot war when its strong even if not the best

#

but my question is because of the last 2 seasons

#

it dosent matter

#

in pugs

#

above 23+

#

if ur not a DH, good luck being invited

#

im trying to know if we are gonna see something like this again

#

honestly, i think last season, i could go at least 2keys higher then my war, playing a DH and having no clues what im doing at all

#

i might be wrong, that just how i see it

#

also, im not consistent with the game, i often stop the game for a year or more

ionic fern
#

Which is not happening before M+ starts.

opal forum
#

well when m+ starts i guess ill just look at raider.io

ionic fern
#

From the "tier lists" i've seen, people are ranking prot warrior high, but for all the wrong reasons.

opal forum
#

thats what i saw too, what is your personnal opinion

ionic fern
#

Mate, i'm super biased.

#

I will make prot warrior work in w/e key.

opal forum
#

make sense

#

you dont play any other tanks?

ionic fern
#

Not much, no.

jagged pier
#

why would i?

#

I dont like them

ionic fern
#

Nothing comes close to my high APM prot warrior.

#

I'm playing bear atm in HC dungeons and it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring.

opal forum
#

i rly like monk and dk

#

not as much as war tho

ionic fern
#

It also depends on which DPS will become meta.

#

If it's a caster meta, then VDH will still be stronk.

opal forum
#

thats what im scared the most

#

i feel like the biggest question is, are we going to play with an aug or not

#

aug will force the caster comp most likely if meta i think

im biased towards shamanism because im an orc nationalist

so id never play ele but it gets a bit of a pass

which is also why if i ever leveled one of my shamans itd just be the orc one instead of an earthen prob...

any class i have interest in either can be an orc, or cant be an earthen

whats the reason to play colossus

mountain thane feels way tankier

cuz all the rage is going to ignore pain

and u generate more rage

so more ignore pain again

Iirc colossus is more dmg at cost of defense and qol

rigid hull

but how much damage

it cant be that diffrent

if u want

for stuns

deft sparrow

I have a question regarding the stat priority for Prot warriors. Is it just all in on haste and crit and ignoring mastery and vers or do they come into play at some point.
Just asking because while looking at Wowhead it says that crit and vers are roughly the same but while reading here i recall reading that vers wasn't great for prot and generally ignored.

u want the stats that sims tell u is best

its really that simple

if sims tell u, you need more vers take a vers piece etc etc
