I think SV and grim have been my pug nightmares
does anyone have any mdt routes for nw i can use?
Though there’s honorable mentions to the evoker who knocked the stunning fox thing directly ontop of me
Twice

Yeesh lol
My favourite was being stunned, during patty cake by the evo, and being called an idiot for not kicking
need lvl 1 in df herb and 25 in tww herb
Not sure, should I take a 603 set tier or go for 616 shoulders?
dragonflight? really?
yes
🤝
lmaooo
Saved this Queen from having to go nelf 🫡
friends dont let friends go nelf
hahaha
Nelf 🤢
Had four NW keys in a row +5-6 yesterday that fell apart at Stitchflesh from the add damage or just generally failing mechanics. Mega sadge after smashing the entire previous sections.
Any other dungeons you fellas finding as hard or harder so far than NW?
Stitch flesh is gonna beat with a major nerf stick
That aoe damage is not mathing right
Shockwave fixed?
i genuinely thought the pulsing aoe was added for tww since it was such a non issue in SL
what about going mechagnome
disgusting
DPS gain on paper, but gnome in practice
tough balancing act
last boss threads way overtuned
no shot mechagnome is that good
mechagnome is worth about the same dps as your tier set
on stitchflesh I think the strat now is just burn the adds asap. just cleave boss
if it takes 4 abom phases oh well
Siphon of the Nathrezim a decent mainhand option? From timewalking
leaving the aboms up is definitely a little rough, but it is healable
it's not healable. it ramps massively.
skill issue i'm afraid
mw not even the best m+ healer this season
When using the ovinax mercial egg when do we want to use the active on it?
they nerfed nitroboosts to 75% insteads of 150% in keys 😦
1.45m hps
poor guy fighting for his life
ticking for almost 2m at the end
hey that’s no way to talk about bdks
How do you know what percentages to hit when gearing stats and which secondary stats to increase or decrease? Is it just from simming?
simming yeah
and mostly taking ilvl increases
there’s no real breakpoints or anything
until way later in the expansion and diminishing returns become a possibility
Except haste, which is more of a above x take this talent, below x take this talent
So are the guides useless to follow?
also I would never play monk. monks are stinky
the stat rankings are a decent rule of thumb to follow if you’re choosing between two similar pieces and don’t want to sim every little thing
No guides say that, and I’m just wondering if there was a percentage to hit roughly.
There’s not
Just as much haste as you can
Crit and vers after that
Mastery bottom of the prio
I mean like I said, the only thing to consider is if you above a certain amount of haste, you'll change a singular talent point, that's about all we observe in terms of %
nah, but it's still a technicality
my guy just confirmed this works btw, he said thanks
did they increase NW % count? we cleared almost whole dungeeon for 100%
How much haste is too much or too little?
Yes significantly
Timewalking mace is an ilvl upgrade, but doesn't have any secondary stats. Does have a lifesteal proc though, so... worth using?
yes, we asspulled so much doing the old SL route and were still short at the end
you have to pull everything except the gatecrashers
you can probably skip ONE mob
but
thats the route
we did miniboss and everything
yeah, our group ninjapulled and we were still 10% short
which key does unbound changeling come from
please dont say mists
please dont say mists
pleasee don't say mists
bro
NOOOOOOOO
search your heart
king's rest
you know where it’s from
i wonder if i'll have better success in higher keys playing DPS, it seems like higher keys atm are kind of dps limited
where’s all this mists hate coming from, dungeon still seems easy
i've only done it once and I don't get the pattern thing 🥺
do you own a poncho?
so what trinkets are go to now for m+? if hook get nerfed
in a perfect world the healer solo solves that
or a mobile ranged
that's the entire problem
but it’s easy if you engage a few brain wrinkles
There is wa that pretty much solves it for you ..

U need to manualy unlock like 2-3 and u know first 2.. so u do like 1 maze at max
how to do the 1st boss in the spider dungeon? that shit does massive aoe and was hitting me for a lot in +7
but friday is our key day..
Friday office in the morning, raid at 7 et
🥹
Spider dungeon which? Ara kara ? Dont let him eat adds
Open slots only 1pm to 6pm and after raid
yea ara karaa
how to get him to eat acid
If he eats small add he gets like 50% bonus dmg or something like that
Well Lomm don't let him eat adds more like DPS job? tank can only kite a bit to make distance.
Yes dps needs to burn them down
ive been keeping him away from adds but don't know how to feed him acid
bout to try again in +7 again. hope another key dont die
I feel this.
is the alchemy trinket any good, i heard it got buffed yesterday
what is everyone using the spark on?
shield > embellishs > weapon
the shield w/o embelishment right?
si
isnt our DR on haste at 30%?
yeah but you dont care
and what embellishment are yall using, the one in the guide?
the DR is irrelevant
anybody here tried NW on +7 and higher? the 3rd boss is fking cancer
true
did it on +8 and its just fuck
was also used to the old layout of mob packs and now my route is messed up, have to do harder pulls for %
ty
you need giga burst for 3rd boss
this is def not true
I just linked one above that cleared 10 NW in a minute faster today
r.io is just slow to update
ayt
over a minute faster*, actually
if i already have hero shield do i still send spark on it?
I cant get a pug over +5 to work. As soon as theres any higher number in front everybody just loses the ability to press buttons
so that didn't help
shield is the single most important item
for your defensive survivability
unironically, rn do you feel like you need the defensive?
no
lol
but sometimes i lose hp when i shouldnt
so i get mad
i shouldnt lose hp in a +8
literally any time we brick a key it's the dps died to unavoidable AoE
but i do cuz my shield is only 590
and I'm alive
i almost timed +7 nw
😏
@strong forum what are bst craft atm for spark
I timed the +7 ara-karan
doing a +6 is 100x harder than doing some shitty delve. cant believe delve gives higher ilvl loot
double dawnthread lining would stack right?
I dont think you get an instant vault tho for doing one do you? a delve
yes
why are u so obsessed with castlevania
you get reward right away.
how do we feel about madness of the betrayer? xd
sim it
for the last boss of SV, is popping spell reflection a good idea when i want to drop my puddle on top of an existing puddle so it overlaps?
boss is very hard
also the affix balls can eat the hook
Did something happen to our pins, I can only see spell reflect and stance dance macro?
got cleared for new expansion
Cool, should have thought of that. Oh well int is a dump stat anyway.
and it begins, pug fun. Ara kara, aleerting mobs, I used shockwave on affix, cc these mob twice, still went off, half dungeon get pulled by that and first response was ,,tank, dont pull that much,, 😄
did a test run with the mace in a grim batol, procced 65 times
Overhealing mostly?
sim it
Sims were very good
Wat is are best def trinket. Like last xpac we 2trinkets that gave shields
its blasphemous 2, clearly
that shits castlevania you can't fool me
castlevania symphony of the night dracula 500 or whatever
anyone have a good WA tracker for Impending victory?
what do you want to track
When it is off cooldown without looking at my bars at the bottom
here's a hack they don't want you to know
just put another bar in the center of your screen
Everyone is poopin on the reactive webbed escutcheon shield but this thing is putting in work
🙈
nah dont
you could just easily make one yourself then
it doesnt have stamina
or secondary stats
new aura- premade aura- icon
that shield is actively inting
lack of stam is like 150k health though? when i'm at 8m?
Just had a druid tank go 100-50 instantly on the last boss of grim batol on pull, unable to grab add aggro, letting the boss/adds hit him in the ass, etc
this is why I'm not allowed nice things
I can't play dps because I get tanks like that
back to prot war for me ig
and your IP is smaller cap, indom heals for less, impending victory heals for less
and you dont have secondary stats from it
that shield is just troll
But Nome it has BONUS ARMOR
Plus, i had a girl tell me she liked my shield soooo
almost done with my castle vania type game guys no worries
70% done, just killed 2 bosses today, 2 or 3 remain
then back to doom, i mean wow
Ok so to be fair
Third boss got changed
And is way harder if you do it like you used to
This was our +8 lmao
where can I find some starter routes for M+
so are most of our best trinkets just bad?
Week 1 I recommend holding w and limit testing
Nobody has any right to flame for routes anyway
or just charge -> shield slam -> ip -> tc -> shield block -> shield slam and rotation
for opener
There aren’t optimal routes devised for all keys yet
Changed how? Seemed the same to me
Thank you, i have actually never made my own
yeah I'm not looking for optimized just % count
dam way higher from aboms
huh The More You Know 🌈⭐
Wasn't that always a thing? 🤔
No
Or if it was it was inconsequential scaling
There was certainly always aoe damage from the adds
I don’t think it stacked
most likely this
Could've been
Other than having multiple out
No I know
your first rage spend should be on shield block
It's cancer
it’s week 1 of a new dungeon for a lotta people
and no. of course they are not gonna research it beforehand
dmg from it in SL was a YOKE
dmg from it now is 1-2M ticks every 3s on entire group if you let it live for a minute on like a 8
it's kinda gnarly actually
why not charge then shield charge?
no way you thought about that for 30 seconds
Because you won't have demo up yet
got distracted at work lmao
I was gonna emphasize my point at first but then erased it and changed it to the mom joke
I felt it was more productvie
what was your point going to be
i'm about to leave work so i won't respond you can get the last word in
yo, should i take that sword ? or complete the T2 bonus with the helm ?
i´d think its t set or socket
shield charge should come later after grouping enemies and using demo shout
also you want to get your shield block cd rolling
How do I socket my gear
is this dispelable?
This shit is not computing in my brain
Yes it's a poison
Dwarf or druid, evoker, monk, priest
priest aswell? oof, we had bala ddruid, ww monk and priest healer and I ddidnt get dispel thats why I am wondering
Is parry even good if the goal is to have 100% shield block uptime? like if shield block is always up parry doesnt really do anything right?
Pretty sure parry gets priority over blocks
parry reduces melee damage by 100%
At least back in the ancient times the order of mitigation was dodge>parry>block
blocking does not
parrying is cooler rp wise 😎
ahhh that makes sense i didnt know that thanks!
👍
oof, its tyra week and I sleep at bosses, but trash is something else ..
or not tyra week, but I have only tyra in keys so far
Good morning, may i ask which guide do you prefer to see? wowhead, icy veins, method etc
Is it tyran and fort in same week, what change did I miss
wowhead seems to be the most updated so i prefer that
Thank you!
do you use whirlwind at all as prot? sorry, new to prot
no
This week is "tyra" and at lvl 10 as extra afix there will be fort. Next week we will have fort, and at 10 extra tyra .
Rio is no longer split into two scores . And both tyra and fort starts at 4(iirc) and other at 10 cycling.
Thnx
In mythic+ is there a weakaura or addon that can help tell you how many adds to kill? i know the % shows already but sometimes not sure how many adds are left to the boss type thing
any posts about what the best thing that we can craft for prot?
Has Tide of Battle for Colossus been buffed? Shows 10% revenge damage increase per stack of Colossal Might in-game as opposed to the 5% on wowhead, but I cannot find any documentation for this change
Does anyone know the "greater than 25%" of your health thing, is that before mitigation?
Or rather, what's considered the uptime on that vers, almost certain to be up ever 90s?
well, im not math wizard but the up time is low
and thats avoidance, which is for like circles or cleave, something you generally arent supposed to be hit by
good stat for boss sits in place and radiats bs at you, id imagine, only scenario i see its only +'s
The buff name related to this item you are looking for is called "Evasive Maneuvers" likely.
it’s totally free though, it’s just a bonus effect on a normally statted item right
like, all that being said, all the stats mentioned are the preferable secondaries, and avoidance isnt the worst thing you can have
maybe too early for data based tier list?
10% healing taken, thats HUGE, and the only line of text that means anything important.
vampire not survivors
it is always too early for data based tier list
do anything else at all with your eyeballs
they’re just popularity based and self-reinforcing
whats the context on this tier list
they teach nothing
looks like from icyviens
The only WoW m+ Tier List you need. Always up-to-date, U.GG brings you the best The War Within Mythic + Tank Rankings and Tier List for WoW Patch 11.0.2.
its this one
healer
is the tier list yogi care about cuz healer keep my keystone alive
imma look at this now
if it uses hps then bdk is the S tier tank of every single season lmao
just look at it omg
apparently priest or LS pally
i think EHRPS
i do not think scraping data on stats is an effective way to rank tanks
but knock yourself out
you think the tier lists on wowhead are any better?
no
that shit put vdh s tier
i do not care tier lists
yogi wouldn't invite me
i'm not even on the list

yeah pepega is cosplaying so hard
i just don't believe it man
but tier lists as an expression of opinion are more interesting than “we crunched some vague stats from logs”
stop saying im cosplaying got damnit
stop being literal 70 iq 
well why is the data driven tier list bad?
hot take, i think the only people who should be able to do logs is raid leaders of 1 year and more and blizzard devs
there’s so much more to tank performance than stats you can scrape from a log
if you explain the methodology it’s using then we could talk about how it’s doing the ranking
or well, thats for uploading logs, not sure what you'd do about keys in that scenario, maybe the game generates a combat log at the end of the key everyone in party can see, shareable
i think the data source is WCL but im not sure
if that is true you are dependent on those with logs on there
i can never understand how people manage to use so many buzzwords to disguise their lack of knowledge
it is so patently obvious
i guess, except to stupid people
too much focus on dps and not enough focus on mechanics and kicks and helping team do the obvious thing
long time been like that but thats meta gaming culture thing
kicking is a skill thing
which is human based. what tier lists are aiming shouldn't be human based but class bases
it’s literally just using dps, hps, and popularity
so more popular = higher rank? that seems dum
correct
it especially doesn’t make sense for rating the strength of different hero specs
since if one is seen as very slightly stronger, the play rate of the other will drop off a cliff
well, im guessing its because the other set of hero talents is more of a defensive utility packages of talents
it’s also comp dependent right? sometimes tanks get shoved out of popularity not because of raw power but because of their buffs fitting the comp
and if the dps spec is popular, the tank’s buff might not be needed
etc
heals cooldown stuff, movement, new spells
it’s more complicated than “let’s scrape three numbers and call it a day”
so, if thats what it is 1 for 1, its the utlity things that need some forms of buff
anyway. every tank is viable, play what brings you joy
don’t let a tier list ruin your mood
That’s not a hot take, that’s just a bad take.
anyone have a WA for the new ball affix (is it similar to quaking to make a WA prediction?)
idk on 2nd thought using popularity might be a decent way to get the "other things to consider" measure. for example, if MT pwar thunderclap also did AOE interrupt then a lot more would use it and that wouldn't necessarily show up on DPS/HPS stats but it still has value ==> more use
you can learn things from what’s popular but it can also be a trap
there was a situation with a trinket in shadowlands which was very good for a lot of tanks
but garbage for pwarr
and high rated pwarrs used it because they saw it was used by other specs
And then lower level pwarrs would go to the data scraping sites and see that the trinket was popular and spend days farming it
which is this
i thought u were saying, i think its augury
yeah, the codex, ya, i never did get one of those, i probably saw it in box
it was terrible for us dude, the numbers were tiny since we mitigate so much
sometimes i equip it for old time sake
it was better than just pure 'math' or 'numbers'
while BDKs were just reflecting massive damage
remember that reinforced plating from mechagon
thats about the worst trinket i can think of
Can’t remember what I was pulling in keys lastnight but I think it was around the 600k mark for the key
Once I’d actually pulled enough packs was sustain 1-1.5mil for packs, obviously drops on bosses and when chain pulling.
it’s a tyrannical week
and some dungeons are more friendly to big pulls than others
my fav trinket was Shard of Annhylde's Aegis
that trinket was cool
and reactive defense matrix
all time number one for me
jsut been doing heroic raid pugs trying to kill queen
is the link one from EP, and the one that its also from EP, i dont know name does a bunch of damage rapidy chance around you
only did like a 5 so far
I only managed 3 lastnight. Just did some low ones for points
Aegis the god trinket
oh man, old warrior’s soul. Shadowlands s2 had its problems but it had some great tank trinkets
great expansion
indeed
is there any cheesy timewalking trinkets for this heroic piece? should i open as DPS or tank
whats that
the best trinket of them all
idk what that is

Ayy tis a fine barn, but tis no codex.
im not sure if there is tw trinkets in vault
it would have to be a pretty niche trinket or tons of stats
like you said
Whats the best 2-3 trinkets right now for prot
the joke is the emote is named “literallytrash”
because it was very bad
that is funny lol
it was some other thing in bfa
i cant recall what it was in bfa but i think it should be constantly updated to whatever is bad
or :trashtww:
Is Sureki Zealtot's insignia the top choice?
I can get a champion Sureki neck at 613 or get Hero pants at 616
All must bow to the king of bad trinkets
sad
when you die on stitchflesh using lust, 3 spears and 2 orbs and this is the rogues boss damage
10% left on the boss on a +10
i did the Timewalking weekly with a friend and we both got the same garbage trinket out of the chest. totally different classes and specs lol
how does this shit work
its a struggle, I got 3/3 slots in my delve vault as these shitty delve trinkets
Blizzard said they were looking at rebalancing them right? They all seem just so terrible
This was not objectively bad for us
damn im sorry that sucks
In actual high keys, it was pretty much the only answer to how high the magic and bleed damage was.
If you were running it in anything aside from high keys, it was a wasted trinket -- but that was an extremely solid pick for 25 and above
Not wrong LMAO
Best combo at high keys was Aegis and So'leah's
My best*
I had horrible RNG
And never got OWS
and didn't raid really
Yeah I doubt many of us got mythic OWS
at least aegis was on boss 3
then we all got to cosplay with dinars in s4
brothers.... Neck or shoulders:
Knees and toes
Neck all the way imo, pretty rare, versus something which is farmable
so we just dont play at this time anymore? more DC and stuck at character screen
Poor fucking paladins what the hell happened
Why did blizzard punish them this hard
If I got a hero piece, is it worth using a thread to convert it to set to get my 2 pc?
hi guys, what craft item and ambellish we need to use pls ?
or it's too early to do it ?
It's worth doing if you got the free enchanted rune from normal raid
You can get one from story mode last boss
You can do a quest to get a free 619 crafting crest starting in the city
You can even do it solo with the story mode
Whatever you want
Upstairs from the Ara Ara entrance
ok thx
Any imput on neck or pants my friends?
like you should sim but realistically its gonna be am inute before you see a rare drop and then get it
TERMINEZ DONJONS OUI OUI
aren't we talking about the same thing? It ends up making you kill last boss of normal raid
no you kill the last boss in storymode with npc's
you can just afk and they kill it for you
So can you get 2x free crests or if you did raid one you cant get thato ne?
its from the campaign quest, how you kill the last boss is up to you
so what is ur 619ilv craft item guys ?
i just went with bracers/belt
ok and you choose an ambelish ?
yeah i used 2x dawnthread personally
okok
area 52 crashed again smh
15min ago got dc'ed halfway through a 10 mist
area 52 just got shot, dinnit
i crashed too was wonderful
Consider playing on a good server?
hey so i just ran a 2 echo and got this swarmgland trinket any good?
i looked on icy but i didnt see it on tier list
This should probably answer your question
No buffs
whatsoever
ye
It's technicaly possible this season if you have like, straight haste bis for every single slot, iirc
I'm still stuck with a 580 shield I upgraded from a quest green fuck my RNG
is heroic dungeon worht doing at ilvl 567 or should i go straight to m0
better get to waisting time in delves bc it gives better loot and blizz wants to force you to do it
Anyone know how the trinket from the TW raid is performing? Not on bloodmallet.
is there 0 reason to a delve higher than 8?
Achievements
Glory
🤣
Diarrhea
do i need spellblock on queen if im only taking feasts?
What's the matter little baby boy? Can't do anything higher? To afraid of Zekvir's lieutenants?
If it doesn't make the numbers near the purple pixels bigger then it doesn't make the happy juice flow in my simple brain
well a t8 delve will put 616 hero stuff in vault
so, figure out what key you need to run thats at least a hero vault piece
Hero track in vault is dead loot,mythic track or nothing from now on
Like a 6/7
how much i should push keys for myth track on vault?
depends what content players can clear i suppose
i doubt everyone will have myth vaults tuesday
10s
probably not me, have barely time to play due to work reason, havent done a single m+ yet
Aim to get one 10 done this week, and you set
Is there a reason why people dont craft shields when u can put duskthread lining on a shield?
like the stats of the shield off first boss isnt that good
Probably because it's just better to focus on bracers because they usually suck anyway
rash drops really good bracers tho and shield is more valuable to be 636 early on no?
I dunno I don't main prot
Nothing matters more than pure block value
It is alpha and omega
ah
hey whats everyone preferring for their m+ grinding?
ive been switching between demo and thane and both are enjoyable and seem good
but curious what everyone else is running
I find col to be a ton of fun, demo does a lot of damage
yeah starting every pull with 2m dps feels good haha
i haven't tried col yet, im so accustomed to smashing IP and the simple rage machine rotation
what shield to craft and what embelishment?
Everforged Defender with duskthread lining I believe
^ cant go wrong with beledars bulwark either
doesnt the guilde saya that that bulwark has low uptime?
Beledar's Bulwark Beledar's Bulwark - While one would think that a shield that grants a versatility proc sounds good, it sadly has quite low uptime on the proc itself which does get outclassed by other embellishments. from wowhead
Heard this is outdone by lining
ah right on
It's just outclassed, yeah
Getting Everforged is also a benefit, since you can remove the embel if necessary to put on a different slot
i just use double crit lining on my gear cuz i play arms too so im not going too hard minmaxing prot
what is the best embelishment for that shield though if I want to surive?
I'm going to be using 1 of crit and 1 of vers because i got them while they were cheap, one each
Getting a high ilvl shield from craft.
The shield ilvl at all will so drastically eclipse and embel benefit for survival, it's completely ignorable
right now i have a 603 shield and highest I can get (i dont raid) is 619 best case scenario.
Both crit and vers are solid defensive stats, and any benefit you'd gain from other lining is 100% completely irrelevant due to how cherry picked scenarios would have to be.
just spam +4s and upgrade stuff to 619
you get 12 runed crests per +4
craftings not even that necessary if u have delve gear
I ran 5 mists just fine and 4 dawnbreaker...i stepped into 6 or 7 city of threads and i was not a good time. couldnt even get past boss 1.
yeah thats why i just talk to the lady panda and bring my key back down to 4 and just spam
easy crests and 603 gear
less toxic too these m+ have been sweaty after 5, ppl just leaving as soon as theres 1 wipe
i sit at 603 ilvl at the moment though. wrist gloves boots are still below 600 though (593, 593, 597).
ah nice i did use my sparks to fill in gaps of pieces that i wasnt getting from drops
im at 607 and havent touched heroic nerub
@deep frost u mean like the champion gear to 8/8 at 619?
I dont raid (aside from LFR to get a chance of tier)
yeah evnok, bountiful delves (with a key) give guarenteed champ item at the end
and m+4 gear is champ
yes but only garbage
not a bad idea honestlyh
vers maatery
is the captured starlight embelishment negligible?
https://www.wowhead.com/item=213774/captured-starlight
It is crafted. In the Optional Reagents category. An item from World of Warcraft: The War Within. Always up to date with the latest patch (11.0.2).
during violent outburst, is TC just always stronger?
guys so this is interesting and very good information if u didnt know and play two specs: if you upgrade a 2h with crests, it will let you upgrade a shield AND 1h without using any crests
equip it minute 1 if its ilvl for me, looking for haste/ good variant of that slot if i get crit versa from second 0:01
so basically if youre upgrading items and u have a 2h, upgrade that, and youll save crests
i just upgraded my shield and sword to 619 and it let me upgrade a 2h without using any crests
yes, it works the opposite way also
yeahh the way i did it was not ideal
i went backwards and didnt save any
in the future upgrade the 2h first
you can 100% do KSM yogi, you'll only need 6s and 7s
i got my 1600 tier piece last week when fury was busted lol
you already know blizz got some pat h notes cookin, "xyz ability reduced by 20%" "abc spell now has x second cast up from" within 2 weeks about keys
has the octopus of seige bricked any of your guys keeps yet getting entire team slammed on repeat and onlyway to mitogate it 3 stuns
last time i tried that fight in a key around 10tyranical, about mg experience
adoes anyone ahve shitty FPS in TWW? i went from like 100+ to like 40 no graphics change
Inside city of threads?
just in general
some spots its back in the 100's
but even like dawnbreaker it was at 45
i even bumped the graphics down 3 settings
I'm good generally but city of threads in the room at the end with eggs just eats my shit like no tomorrow
it just feels super poorly optimized compared to DF
Crafting wise, how valuable is a shield if it's a 13 ivl upgrade?
I got a 606 delve shield, but I could craft a 619 shield
do u guys hold avatar if u have a charge of TB ur waiting on to use (to come off CD)>
dropped a mercurial egg on raid, is it good to pair with sac trinket for m+?
good still or eh?
Shaman healer looking to help my prot warrior friend out. Whats good shield block uptime? His percentage seems low.
Is there a spell refelct weak aura for season 1 mythic plus dungeons yet?
is brann still capped at 38? i see there's a max level of 60 according to this weak aura. does the limit go up weekly?
nice lack of secondaries bruh
I crafted a 619 up from 610
Really stupid question, but I see the breakpoint for ITF being 5400 haste rating, why is my haste rating over 9000? I’m surely not understanding something correctly, my haste is only 19%
outdated, that was dragonflight
to my understanding, aim for 12 sec of shield block cooldown before you make the switch roughly
can be wrong, ask a wiser elder
Ah okay, thank you!
Which Embellishments should we be taking?
Assuming wow head m+ talents, what would you drop to pick aoe interrupt?
bloodsurge
Ty
in LFR?
have the same question 🙃
100%
90%, ideally as close to a 100 as you can while actively tanking
You gotta have shield block up as long as you are in combat
With mountain thane and HR you can do it easily
HR? 😅 sry
Heavy repercussions
we not play into the fray?
at what haste % do we start playing into the fray?
Go a bit up, someone asked that a few minutes ago, and there was a great answer
Yeah just saw that my bad 😄
Hiyo, if I'm strictly a M+ boy is Shield with Crit embellish best spark usage?
I know its not the "fastest" but I'm new to WoW and leveling as Prot Warrior has been so fucking fun
whats best build for leveling dungos dps 😄
Just had an Ara miss time because of a bug on the last boss where my root had infinite duration and no mob attached to it
even Avatar didn't break me out
sadge
is roar viable for m+ or is spear infinitely better? just not use to play with spear
i need help
i feel like we got muuuuch more rage generation than before and the ignore pain spam is off the roof
my bozo boomer wrists arent having a blast with all the button smashing with the off gcd shenanigans
I put IP on my mouse wheel and spin that shit
can ignore pain be macroes to another ability without shooting yourself in the foot?
macroed*
can sd stack up to 2 on prot?
Not really no
The only macro is having SS macrod into IP but that doesn't replace ur SS button
It's to snipe resets
Imo just play with a fat ass key that's light lol
for a more ergonomic setup
I have IP bound to enter cause leftie privilege
do we ever use rend/whirlwind or can i safely take those off my hotbars
No
pretty sure ww is not worth and rend is applied with TC
Imo u need to find where it's straining ur wrist and get urself a wrist coushin if necessary
I was having the same problem so I just flat out got a coushin going and rebound dump abilities to somewhere ergonomic and low strain
got charge on = and ignore pain in d
might switch them around
plating with a razer naga mouse so = is just my thumb
you never use those
thats really good to know im running low on keybinds somehow
As long as u maintaining it doesn't cause strain in ur mouse hand or give u mouse jitters ur good
Imo a mouse wheel mod like shift or ctrl modding down and up is kinda nice
Adding the crit or vers embelishment depending on your gear. How do you know? Im leaning towards crit as I only play M+, what would you do?
Anyone able to weigh in? xD
Struggling between the neck and the tier
Amulet hit avoidance too
Is the ceasless swarmgland from ara kara anygood?
or is it still just the sacbrood as bis
personaly, i would take neck since its very rare, and the tier set is very underwhelming for prot
but thats just me
yeah plus everyone can roll need for the neck in raid
what have priority for us in upgrading with crests? weapon or shield?
cant argue with that logic
im thinking of using fury when i have to dps, but use the single-minded talent (use 1hs instead of 2hs) so i can reuse my 1h weapons
economical approach
i know is not ideal, but i guess is better than having to use lower 2h weapons
yeah if it sims as higher dps then it makes sense
So I just tred a +6 stonevault and the master machinist tank buster was eating my ass
how do I not get my ass ate by it
dump ignore pain rage just before and pray if i dont have something else up?
I'm not spending rage on anything else I'm prob just not pressing enough ignore pain on it
uhhh
Hey did anyone try Reactive Webbed Escutcheon shield? Very curious if the proc on it is worth it over secondarystats
Edit: just realised it does not have stam, super bait
not blockable with only shield block, need spell block. cycle defensives.
shield wall, spell block, spell reflect, demo shout, healer external etc etc
ignore pain is not a hidden op invulnerability hack
ignore pain is just our rage dump
ok thank you
yeah i figured
So spell reflect works on it? i didn't think it did
spell reflect both blocks spells and reflects if applicable then?
I'm pretty new to warrior tanking lol
Please read the sheet
i made a simple dumb weakauras to make a texture when my rage is almost full, so i just press a mouse button for the Ignore Pain macro
Which debuffs are ACTUALLY important to see on the enemy nameplates in M+? I don't need to see Rend and all these passive debuffs that are always there...
if you have plater you have an option just for that, automatic mode shows most stuff
manual stuff hoever will show only the stuff you want to see
Yeah I'm about to edit mine, that's why I'm asking what's truly important for us to see
As prot warriors
i did i just had a fundamental misunderstanding of how reflect works lol
mb
eh... we do care about that? i think our dots and stuff just happens of thunder claps
thanks guys :D
and we press that on cooldown so i assume it has a high uptime lol
spell reflect also goves you a 20(?)% damage reduction to magic damage
Exactly, our dots are always up beacuse thunderclap... we don't nneed to see them on nameplates
I'll just assume theyre always there
i THINK Punish could be tracked, but still, that happens naturally of our buttons mashing
Unlike shamans who need to know if they have lashing flames on their flameshock targets
punish doesn't change any decisions so no point tracking it imo
yeah i see, so dont track anything? i dont see... what we coul track that could change our buttons order
Exactly
is not like we track rend either, it happens naturally with the thunder clap smashing
yeah exactly my point..?
i guess ill disable the debuffs too then xD

Look how cluttered it is to have rend and deep wounds. Multiple that by a pack of 8+ whiel running keys
i think the fury 1h (dualwielder) with Single-Minded Talent works decently for open world content, that doesnt need the tankiness of prot but wants to kill stuff faster
not ideal, but i can re-use my 1h weapons that way
i added all our debuffs to the devuff tracking but they still show
well yeah, is doing what you are telling it to do?
plater manual mode is like: "ignore buff/debuffs except the ones in this list"
is a whitelist basically
You all talk about YOUR debuffs on enemies ? Bc I show only enemies own’s buffs, is it bad ?
yep our debuffs, the stuff that appears in your nameplates
Plater have the option to just show you debuffs you kind of want to track, instead of showing literally every debuff you could possibly apply to them
@alpine shard Dude that myth track shield from the first boss is vers/mastery... No way a 639 of those stats is better than a crafted 636 of any stats we want
like for example, in my Destruction Lock, i only care for Immolate, Wither and Havoc
Yes I don’t show that (I only did +6-7 keys yet) interested if you have some we should show
any other debuff i dont really need to see it cluttered in my nameplates
arms have deep wounds and rend, i guess they want to track those. But because we apply those naturally, there is no need to track it
finally!! time to get the mount
The only « player debuff » I show are CC don’t know if it counts as debuff I did my plater a while ago
can you share?
yes it counts, storm bolt and shockwave
Im at uni I send you a pm just to have you to remind me
do we not have alternate runs during this m+ season, i feel like dungeons give way too much rating
there's no alternate no
Im not a main prot just to warn you , I just push in prot (don’t like hunt main in m+)
thanks
I Wait a week for score stabilizing because I know the number of 0 in your currency in the real world don’t really tell you are a poor country 
To judge ratings
i have a grand score of 0 because job reasons 😦
i wonder if they would accept a 0 tank anyways xD
need help with plater, i have set friendly players nameplates like this, but this doesn't show up during dungeons and raids, how can i also apply it to dungeons
Do a +2 unpaid intern job just to have it in score
intern job xD
i just thought that normally it is a little hard to reach 2k week 1, and this season i have 1k+ with just 4 dungeons done
well im 606, i think im not so behind
You don’t care about the DIGITAL matter of score, in bfa it was 5k+ bc 10 dungeons etc like you know after a week what is « good » rio, and don’t care if it’s easy to have the set piece
i don't care about good or bad rio either, i just care about how easy it is to get free tier piece
i started tanking this season so i probably wont be pushing keys, if i reach KSM and +10 in all keys ill be happy
just found it, you have to go to "auto" tab and either disable friendly nameplates toggle or enable it for dungeons and raids
You have a 619 craft if you have 4 min (the story mode one) it’s same shit, I don’t really care, people having an easy time don’t undermine my game
Would y'all take 606 tier helm or 616 bracers ?
wait what? what 619 craft?
what do you mean same shit, how tier set piece is comparable to 619 crafter gear
Relating into the easy/getting good gear
no i mean, story mode gives good gear?
but tier piece is useful and 619 crafted gear will be replaces in like 2 days, once i get a day with no raid)
The story mode quest give you one crafted crest to do 619
oh i see, ye i guess ill do it then
It does count for weekly crests since it’s already crafted
i don't understand what we are arguing about, and i don't think there is any point in it tbh)
you cant recraft it later anyways when you get the good crests?
true, but it will cost you some gold
Just gold
yeah but i think you pay much less than the total cost of the item in materials, other than the stuff you are adding i think?
like if a item costs 300 acuity to craft and 12 materials r3, to recraft it it would cost a fraction of that, if i recall correctly
I don’t really try to min max my gold if I’m poor I do the 20€ cheat code
ye, if you can spare gold, go ahead. Im just really poor and everything is very expensive this time around)
oh ye im poor too, the only gold i have is when i sold a beledar mount for 250k Xd
Hey, is there any good WA to track Violent Outburst? Something that'd would catch attention
It’s the shield slam/thunder clap give big rage (French game sry) ?
yes
Any tips on gear selection from vault. 606 tier helm or 616 haste/crit bracers
go wago.io and search outburst, there should be plenty
or you can make your own through weak auras preset stuff
@lusty grotto if i have 2 shield slam procs and 2 thudnerblast procs
which do i hit
thunderblast aoe ss st?
Ye that’s what I do just search on wago, import see if you like it or not and repeat process, if you have a general wa you can delete the outburst track and put the new into the general wa
To have it in line a automated sort with other proc line
hard choice tbh, i would say take wrists if you are not going to craft them. Getting 4set is not that urgent, you will want offset helmet eventually
i just use Luxthor weakauras, i think his outburst tracker is visible enough
you could make it bigger or glow or something
i use luxthos as well, but it only shows stacks, sometimes you press shield block and get outburst when you were not expecting that
well yes, 8 stacks = buff
On my warrior I use it too for now (but was telling how I do on my main like on my main hunt there was not a proc showing I just added it)
Is there a priority to crafting items?
yes, but it need 40 rage spent for every stack, you can't confidently predict when it will proc if you don't know exactly how much rage you have to spent to get next stack
but there is the proc? it shows two auras, one for the boiling blood thing (the stacking part) and the other when the outburst is fully loaded
aaaah i see your problem now
nah the APM of a prot warrior is too high to care about that lol
i push it when i see it open
Ye when you have it just spent all rage and shield slam
but it is what you generally aim for
i just have a dumb weakauras to show a texture when my rage >70%, so i press ignore pain
eventually that, with my other buttons, proc outburst, so i decide then hwo to use it
Almost every one or two off gcd I press ignore pain lol just new to prot but it works
had to do it that way because we generate lots of rage and i would be overcapping otherwise
yeah im dumb, i will take shortcuts if it will save me mental work to figure it out
you can get away with spamming ignore pain in most content, just make sure you always have enough for shield block
i often find pressing ignore block reactively too like that
like im getting the idea when im should be spending rage
Of course, only did a +7 and didn’t get into the low rage/shield block in a pack since you avatar almost 2 times on each pack yet will figure out when it happens
i usually do charge, clap, avatar+shieldcharge macro, clap. Maybe not optimal but double clap like that usually gets you enough aggro to have time to press your other buttons?
shieldcharge will give me shield block, and usually those cds are together
I do the charge spell giving you rage and shield block first, thunder, into avatar, bastion, ravager, don’t know if it’s bad
you can also use charge + shield charge right away so you get enough rage for ignore pain, to not die in first 2 seconds)
i just wish all our buttons didnt trigger GCD, i feel like im losing too much time fitting demo shout, ravager and spear.
i use avatar and shield charge because i combine thoses in a single button and i often use it at melee distance anyways
Didn’t push in prot before so guessed I should always shield charge first otherwise i’ll die (if you have any tip like if you have to pre cd if you only charge)
oh i see now, got that quest you people are talking about, ye it will give you the crafted runes for a 616 item
It’s that yes
in story mode does it matter what spec you go into?
you should pre use shield block and ip if you have rage thats for sure, especially if you are running heavy repercussions, cause you have surplus uptime anyways. First few seconds of the pull are like the only scary part for prot warr, after you stabilize you are unlikely to die, even in big pulls
3min45 it took me to do the story mode, didn’t do on warrior yet
Guess should dps just to save time you have pnj raid and there is no mechanics
dumb question, how i enter the story mode? xD
Marker quest
OK
It’s showing you the optional objective
IDK why i assumed it was just pointing at the raid gate
feels really bad when you do spear and avatar and realize that you didn't do demo shout cause it got overwritten buy spear(
we got a preferred weak aura for Treacherous Transmitter?
macro demo to avatar?
(and obv still have a separate keybind for it as well)
Demo shouts increase our damage ?
only if talented
With boomin voice talent yes
Which u should run all the time as itels more rage gen
So u just slappp that on cd

You can do the story mode queen ansurek kill?
Yes I have booming voice, it’s just I usually do shield charge + thunder clap (avatar on this off gcd) + spear+ ravager+ demo (with spamming ignore every off gcd) then do the mountain thane thing
your losing a massive amount of damage
Will try this evening then, I guessed I was fine when I checked the logs of keys but maybe I can improve, thanks
shield charge inside spear its burst damage is insane
Like I said I’m new so I guessed shield charge first to not be naked and have to pre def cd pull
you do casual charge instead of shield charge for opening
then pop everything like dan said, watch you rip aggro from other tank if your other tank is not prepared.
Will try got a +8 for this evening thanks guys ! Hope stonevault bosses don’t destroy pugs
Talked about key
its fun ripping threat and solo tanking lfr
in keys bank somew rage ready for next pull and charge + shield block on the way in
You can solo tank Kyveza in nm too, I tried to touch a portal as the tank for curiosity and died, my friend tanked until the boss died
ava+rav > tc > demo > spear > SC > ss+ss+ss if you got a thane proc
oh and sending ip almost every off gcd
Okey thanks bc the charge thunderclap felt like trolling if you no rage, I usually execute so I don’t have rage anymore at the end of a pack
When there is 1-2 mob left
depends how fast you pull, you get the feel of it after a while
just dont run through the mobs and get smacked, i do this often
Can’t tell with dawnbreaker didn’t do a route and was flying trying to find trashs
charge the furthest mob, sb and get hit from behind
Well like you said depend on the pack, because like in 6 you kinda take multiple so I shield charge, heroic, charge third pack and charge back to first
Just do the church
Yes you must be right, we BL first boss, then did the 3 guy then do trash until bl for second, last boss and find flying trashs we did all plaza next boss but still % lol
You do the inside of the church and the courtyard right side when you exit it and you should have enough
We did land on a two mob pack next the church first, do it with front, then did inside and flied to next guy in front of church, landed in the fire and killed all with the guy then plaza until bl up
Mdt kinda didn’t tell true % was kinda weird
Like in necrotic wake you kill almost all instance kinda surprising
is there a list of best uses of intervene dungeon by dungeon somewhere? similar to spell reflect
I just know the first boss necrotic wake it’s OP
If party member is take magic damage, press it. If party member get melee by fixate, press it
you can also help people who are fixated from what I found on second boss
Though off the top of my head, most fixates in current pool last longer than intervene, so keep that in mind
Just keep it on CD if you have storm shield
On first boss if you intervene the blurp spawn add spell you get targeted instead
Although it's rather weak
is it worth pressing for the shield? it seems so small
I guess why not, just 1 gcd
That's what I use it for mostly
Although I'm thinking about picking up the storm bolt talent
Right now my shield is like under 500k
500k ? Like damage ?
Yeah stormshield
Ofc warcraftlogs bugs so I can’t tell
Wtf is stormshield my spells are in French https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XRcpABjw61WJxfDb#type=damage-done&fight=last&source=245
Le pain of shield
hello tanky bois! this is the first time i seriously play tank and now i'm looking at vault items to choose from, do i sim the same way that i sim my dps ?
Yes
Thx
It shares the node with the storm bolt talent
The 3 stun ?
thaank you !
I dunno it's like 496k or something for me right now not sure how good that is in higher keys
Yes
I take the 3 stun for now, didn’t tried it
You will have more armor too with ilvl i guess
Yeah sure but still
Meat Hook still BIS even after nerf for tanks? 😮
Hi. im gonna start doign some mythic+ but my main worry is routes
