Colossus is a nice break from thane
And thane is a nice change of pace from colossus
And both do good numbers
So that's nice
Just doing a +7 and spamming the fuck out of revenge giving the dps a run for their money is good fun
Having both hero talents be actually usable is more than other specs can say
Compared to the sweaty gameplay that is thane
Off topic, but holy shit this kid was having the fucking time of his life in that match
That was one of the most feel good exhibitions to ever watch
about the same in curent gear tbh
I did my first 1mil overall as colossus in ara kara
Thane I only did like 980k in mists 10 I think
Or 920k, can't remember
only
I could do way more if my weapon wasn't a fucking 606
imagine getting your key to a +10 instead of being locked at +8s since your friends keep dying like 10 times in the +8
You guys are doing +8s?
I've had a god awful time pugging
Haven't even managed a 6 yet
i lost a wep in raid to someone who OS tank today
felt real bad
Going into Stonevault makes me sad, because the DPS have no self-preservation
Like it's very easy to pull big if they, like, at least press a defensive to not get bolted to death
Guys I have a question regarding gearing for high m+, Is it still haste verse or has crit for parry made a comeback?
Haste Crit has been prio for years
Beyond haste it doesn't rly matter, but we have alot of crit interactions for dmg output and parry is pretty fucking huge in keys
i got flamed in a SV 6 yesterday, because i said i would do crystals then the tank and melee decided to kill all the crystals at once, 
What? All rank 100 and above I've seen on rio has gone haste verse or am I mandala effecting us
It's the bandwagon effect
Just because alot of people use it doesn't mean it's the play
Just because they're gearing haste/vers doesn't even mean it's the best or optimal. They might even just be gearing it because that's what they got
No I hear you
What about raids then, more magical non parry stuff
Wouöd be versa slightly ontop?
In raids stats matter even less
Alright lol
Cuz you got 4/5 healers and beyond predictable mechanics with no rng
You just make a plan and are done
There's a general sentiment that vers is a more defensive stat among high key pushers, because it's one of the better stats for DPS and Healers to avoid one-shots, but it's not really as much of a factor for tanks
I quit a SV because this hunter died on every boss and we wiped a couple times on skarmorak and he didn't press any CDs
after I told him to use them
Maybe I'm spoiled cause the only dps I've played (this season) is DK but idk how people die to literally every mechanic every time
In the end, it doesn't really matter, since the single largest portion of your mitigation kit comes from your buttons
It's pretty simple when it comes to pugging keys rn
Dk and ret pally kinda tanky tho.
Yeah, unlike Mages smh
Below +9s you're not gonna see the really good players anymore because, well we're doing +9/10s
They only have, like, 2 real defensives, right? Right?
Yeah true, thanks alot for your input guys I appreciate it heaps.
While we're at it, bleeds in m+ am I right? Can you parry the application in i.e Siege?
Depends per ability
Like, DF RLP, you were able to parry 2nd boss bleed (until fixed iirc) to get less stacks
Oh really, thats cool.
There's barely any bleeds in keys
Or debuffs for tanks
Like tanks are really easy to tank rn ino
Keys*
Are really easy to tank
Siege trash from start to 2nd slaps on 10s
There's basically no scary mobs at all
I'm pretty sure there's more bleeds and the like on raid trash atm than all of M+
I even went BSV to survive that shit
ya these dungeons are not that difficult mechanics wise
Did pull like 4 of em tho tbf
Can't say I've had that experience
The only thing that's remotely scary to me is the last packs of SV, because it is fucking impossible to have people let me group both packs together before last boss
Everything else is 100% manageable if you don't make mistakes.
The siege trash bleeds can hurt
Maybe my groups didn't stun em or smtng, because my gear Is sufficient and I doubt I am doing to much wrong, except prioritising verse..
what's it called
Singing steel or dancing steel or smtng
Siege cutthroat curse can get real scary
I am also scared of the first mobs leading into the maze in mists, because I got hit by their cleaves that they use on the NPCs in the little cinematic bit once and it fucking slew me
Shieeet!
but that's not supposed to happen so i'm just scared of bugs
I mean I am referring to the bleeds solely tbf
what kind of shield block uptime should I aim for in dungeons? 100% isnt possible, right?
100% in combat
Spell reflecting tentacles on the last boss of GB is pretty sweet
It is in combat
100% is actually possible while playing HR, but what's most important is 100% effective uptime
it kinda is
feeling the same on early siege trash, but you should have plenty of tools between demo / sw to mitigate
The only thing that'll make you not have 100% is not having something to hit
Yeah I mean I've tried it and had better results then the first few go's but definitly hurts a bunch
it is absolutely possible
to where it feels noticeable if I'm not proactive on those
I literally haven't even entered Siege in M+ yet
haven't gotten a key for it until this most recent key I got
I think the reason I brought it up was more to discuss it and hear other peoples experiences
Siege sucks
it does
I got serious siege ptsd from Bfa..
I think dawnbreaker is my fav dungeon
siege / CoT so far feel bad, haven't pulled a stonevault yet
GB and the earthen lava dungeon are bangers
grim batol feels ok until last boss
Cot is fine after tje nerf to splice tbh
I wouldn't mind Dawnbreaker if people didn't do their absolute best to brick that key
I figured out on Queen heroic yday that you can reflect the beam on the platform transition, which does a fk ton of dmg!
Are you using spell reflect to clear tentacles? Makes me feel like a real helper harry in there
How to do that rhino
I...did not know that was a thing
The purple one thats stationary
You just hit spell reflect and walk through them
Thats huge! Thanks.
As long as your buff is active it clears them
I don't think that's listed on the reflect sheet; do you have a log for that so we can send to Sense for verification?
Wait more than one?!
Yeah I usually get 3-5 depending on how they’re spread
Thats insane.
Yeha let me check the log
Honestly didnt check the log, it did show up on details tho.
But lemme check
yes
thanks
Didnt show up a damage in the logs sadly, but It did atleast bounce the dmg off me
I am not great at logs however, I'll link it.
may be a deflect then not a reflect
You have to look at damage taken on the mob
Yeah, but It showed up as damage on details thats why
It's processed as damage done to itself
Ok thanks
yup, it hit itself
@shut summit If you get a chance, it doesn't look like Expulsion Beam's on the reflect sheet. Above shows the Expeller hitting itself with it
It was super hard to look on the phone for me! Thanks Luerce.
It's funny, since I just explained how to look at reflect damage to one of my friends after we finished on raid today, and he was wondering why the poison bolts from Court weren't showing
Yeah that makes sence!
Haha, I've been thinking about that to actually!
I do have something that I've noticed about spellreflect this expansion, not sure if its a thing or I've just not paid attention but it seems alot of spells (splice in cot for example) does way less dmg to the boss than to players?
Can you only spell reflect 1 tentacle on Erudax?
Lucky you, I had mist +2, nw +5, siege +8, brick to 7, then brick reroll to 6nw, brick to 5+ scithe, got +8 boralus, brick to +7 dawnbreaker And got +9 boralus. I guess I will reroll pirate now
I just kept getting sent to Grim Batol
Have yet to get a single piece of loot from GB, either
and people kept:
- Pulling the entire instance
- Get knocked off by the dragon
- Getting murdered by trash
- Getting murdered by bosses, especially last boss
I think I've timed one GB
I have kinda okish experience in GB, main blockers Are people getting one shot on Dragon boss
Can do multiple
That's weird
my exp overall has been very frustrating, pulled an 8 dawn and later an 8 arakara, so 2 chest potential
and just keep getting pug clownery
Very same people tend to get the loot lol
Pugs are horrid, it's really nice when you have a good run though
flying back in an chain dying to trash when we've slow wiped on dawnbreaker
taking it upon themselves to do extra trash pull in arakara constantly
When they tell you pull more, you say no and then they pull and wipe and leave grp. Worst
the pugs have been the better people on average
It's the friends I run with smh
Second worse is doing boss wrong blaming everybody else and leave
Haha same!! 🤣🤣🤣
then constantly fucking up last boss of arakara until timer is expired, then we do it flawlessly
so tilting
of course they were rewarded with a sacbrood for their trouble
Only been once arakara the slime boss is way harder than the last
My experience in pugs has been either someone leaves after sometimes even just a single death or a group wipe or just toxic chatters
I think Erudax is such a bad boss design
I'm still mad about one time of City of Echoes last boss, when I leaped into a puddle,
Same for me at 🦏
And the slime spawned on the opposite side of the arena, outside of storm bolt range
so i couldn't break root since avatar was on CD
Classic, shaman screwed mechanic on first boss, I wrote if we can do last boss if people Are failing first easy one and shaman replied ,,I dont think So,, . Lol
Xd
I finally hit KSM last night but it was a turbulent journey to say the least
Yeah idk not good 😅😅 maybe I shouldn't have spammed necrotic yesterday
I only have like 1100 IO since I keep bouncing between Mists, GB, and Echoes iirc
Same for me. But funny is, keys above 8 were mostly fine, but below, it was horrible, like I was asking my self if I want to play anymore
Started my Sunday morning off being told to kms because I wanted to go down the lower part of the siege entry instead of running across the upper portion
So yeah I feel that @trim condor
Biggest danger zone is probably 5-7 or so, since that's where a lot of players get hard stuck, and 7s in particular are scare since they still drop Heroic gear, so you have more people trying those, even if it's past them
Yeah love these people. They Are playing dps that can't kick, cc or avoid things, but they Are super smart about tank route
I didnt have this experience in TWW, but I did in DF S3 when pushing
i love using thunderstorm and cap totem to stop multiple casts at once
then being told i do no intuprts

Hey yall, just leveled a prot warrior cause it's the tank spec I want to play. Can anyone recommend a guide that isn't wowhead?
icy veins
Lol

its a different guide wirtten by a different person
whats wrong with icy veins?
on that point whats wrong with wowhead guides
If you don’t want wowhead or icy veins I’d assume you could try echo? But there was drama they just lifted off wowhead
Or maybe a YouTube video
Wowhead actually may not be available in their region
THIS OMG
as a non-shitpost reason
they did lift and shift wowhead guides yes
Everything wowhead now is made for clicks
on maxroll? they can't have this tier at least, cause there's differences
The guides proper are still accurate, though
very slight that was changed from the original post
Nah
The BDK guide is extremely on point
I can understand not wanting to support the site overall if you have issue with that, but you can go to IV instead
I can tell that much
Is there a prot sim? got madness of the betrayer from timewalking cache and have no idea if its rly usable
I mean, that doesn't prove they copy pasted tho? every guide should hopefully say the same thing regardless of site (assuming there's one correct answer)
I'm not saying they didn't btw
not everything, class guides are not well ours isnt at least
just saying that isn't proof
I don't think someone named "Kenny_BDK" knows much about BDK, but who am I to judge smh
Like, what are you, a BDK main?
There were a lot of posts on twitter where people were comparing paragraphs from wowhead to the echo stuff
fair enough
Sims are for DPS and active on Raidbots and the like
just playing devil's advocate
nah it was same wording the rotation thing espeically for frost dk was lifted because they had to same querk where there was 2 of a spell in the rotation guide, thats not on icy veins because its a specfic thing for wowhead and they way the tables work etc
And mandle who wrote the wowhead BDK guide is very on point on what he does, bro is not ducking around
Icy Veins always makes me laugh when it comes up, cause I remember when Icy Veins was a total meme
Slander and lies
(I am old)
again is was memes for certain specs it all depends on the writer u have
Ya pretty much
Coming back to the game Quazil's videos have helped more than anything else
the guide is only as good as the author
Gaming journalism as a whole is a meme
loads of theorycrafters over the years have been utter dogshit at the game as well
but they know what they're talking about
even if they can't do it
Honestly, I really do appreciate just how many resources are out there to try and get people into playing the game at a decent level
Coaches don't need to play better, just know 
ha ha, that's me
My age is.. nose hairs are starting to get annoying
Pulling them out hurts 🤕

But back to business can a fury warrior also spell reflect the tentacles ? Should work no
Alot of the individual articles are more that yes, but how do you clickbait a guide?
I'll check wowhead guide then, been let down by some other classes guides.
"You wont BELIEVE this one INSANE trinket for [insert class name]"
"you won't believe this secret tech!?"
Th BDK guide is top notch 👍
Prot I don't like that much but no hate
I hate youtube
Boss casted targeted spell can be spell reflected?
Depends on the cast
depends if it can or not check the sheet in the pins
Oh shit there's an actual list? Pog
what yah mean i love ppl putting out tier lists when they play all the classes wrong its great content

there's some seriously HUGE offenders of that garbage click bait shit in the wow community
someone I know made this when SoD dropped
too real
every thumbnail on your YT feed
exactly that
Classic definitely worse for it than retail tho
it's depressing that it works
Ofcourse, doesn't make it any less cringe
But the click bait thumbnail doesn't show you if content is good or not
then you click the thumbnail, it's a 10minute video to maximise revenue for what could have been a 30second clip
I got a question most of the time I don't have rage left over for revenge after ignore pain and shield block and then CD on thunderclap, what do I do wrong ?
And when I do I got too much to spend it all in my gcd windows
Kinda shucks
I use shieldcharge and the scream or avatar for rage supply
But doesn't work all the time
When I jump away and charge dps are gonna cry like lil children that they can't blindly spam their aoe rota

Oh yeah and I think I read alot of woehead can't really say I see lots of click bait
Shouldn't have pressed ignore pain
Nothing kills you more than having no button available
But without IP and SB up I take waaaay too much dmg
I try to have both up all the timr
Is that wrong ?
What's better, unable to press a button because you pressed ignore pain instead of 2x revenge to get a shield slam reset
Or getting 1 singular 600k half absorb
You gotta keep the rotation flowing
When you can't press shield slam, that's when you die
Cuz your rotation stagnates, which means no rage generation
Gotta be alive to use rotation 
what guys
Skillcapped do that no?
hard to say what's wrong with a log ig
Oh. Shield slam question. Sometimes it lights up like I goy a reset but SS is still on full CD
O_O you are getting advice right now for free..
Oh yeah no is great thanks don't take it like that
best prot warr advice in the world in here
Cuz you got a burst of power proc
Right now I play around buffs bring up all the time
Which means your next 2 shield slams dont incur a cooldown
Being* IP and sb
how prot warrior perform in raid? want to go raid with a friend and hes looking for a tank .
Nobody cares for raid
seemed fine to me
Your goal is to generate and spend as much rage as possible without overcapping rage, therefor you ideally only send ignore pain when at 60-80 rage
Ahh
You don't "maintain" IP
Its something that gets maintained as a byproduct of doing your optimal rotation
📓
Lol nah don't even know how to explain it
I'm expecting you're pressing something wrong ya, cause I feel like the times where I stagnate like you're saying are usually I fucked up and panicked in some way
Sure
when Avatar is up, you are spamming it often ya
More to not die
Your goal is to dump excess rage
are we switching stance are always in defensive stance now?
how are you nearly dying?
I'm always nearly dying lol
I'm like 70% of the time in d-stance
The ise healers are dirt
then something is wrong
But I'm barely ever in danger
this ^
Keys do like 0 tank dmg
if I'm in danger I fucked up
(which is either, I let mobs hit my back, or I didn't CD or something)
I was on around 10% for 30 then started to jump away and kite use CDs etc. Then dps flamed me to stop running around
Daheck
what level key?
You're doing some serious mistakes if that's the case
I mean even just Victory Rush heals a lot when you oh shit
6-7 don't remember lol
Then we wiped second boss 2 timrs
Only time I had to kite is when I have 13 stacks of the debuff in stonevault that makes you take 10% increased dmg taken per stack
(I had this happen mid pull
)
Nah healer was doing nothing lol
In +10, outside of that you should be neigh immortal
"woah woah, why am I dying, wait I can't press shield block?? my shield is broke guys" good times
But yeah no sorry that has nothing to do with me having IP up Always
repair bot down to fix and we good
Ye there's more going on there
I had thatv2 in biss fights lol
It's not just an IP issue
need some logs or something
I make you some today
I don't even think I use my CDs anywhere near enough and I don't feel like i'm dying super often
defensive CDs*
the ironic thing is the more people focus on ip for defensiveness, the less tanky they are..
Hehe
That maybe clears up a thing or 2
Or raises more specifc questions
you do not want to improve tbh
mmm it's more for me that like, I'm being stupid and holding Shield Wall, Spell Block etc for when I'm in trouble
cant tell by your tone
which means I hardly use them
Rotate all cds
ya
Including last stand
I should just be sending
Sw is 40-50sec cd
aye legit
Use it on pull
I need to be using it WAY more
Use last stand to stabilise after you've been dicked by a large hit
Same with IV, nigh on cd
I'm new to tanking completely this expansion so, trying not to be too hard on myself about it cause it's all new, but I know I'm doing it wrong defensively
Ye takes some practice
for sure, dps wise I seem to be okay
You ain't playing the game until you're comfortable
fr
Until that point you're just too worried about yourself
So you're just riding blind most of the time
There's one talent, it's a choice node. Gives haste based on how many people are nearby or shield slam/block interaction. How much do they vary the rotation?
do you guys also just get absolutely murdered in grim batol
you should play the the block version
0
Rotation doesn't change based on which talents you take
Your ultimate goal is to hammer shield slam as often as possible
nope
Hasn't been my experience no
kite the ogres in Grim Batol
by what
🤝
It was more my group that got fucked
the trash in grim batol do a lot of dam, a good healer goes a long way in there. the final boss also hurts a lot does the tank slam need a defensive for it
well first of all
or stun them
I was hard chillin in my +9
the affixes hit the ogres
is it worth to pick up Wrecking throw for silken court? For the intermissions
they get a stack
Thank you friends
i should mention that
Only the enrage dudes blast tanks, rest is fine
Yeah
Free dmg
i was mainly being destroyed by the warlock guys after big boss
What do I drop for wreckign throw
slam spell block
You can drop stuff like overwhelming rage
thats basically a healer issue i think they put a heal absorb on the party or some crap
the warlocksa re the ogres with the healing debuff ya?
that's not the warlocks, there's enrage dudes in the packs there
There's a healing debuff?
that do a lot of dmg
they don't do anything providing you don't pull them with another scary mob
in grim batol there is on some trash yea
Huh
dont know exact mob that does it tho
We just killed things so idk
its sort of annoying yeah
ya there's a healing debuff
I reflected some hits and rest we just killed idk
an absorb
just stun the ragers
I think
Solution to problem = just have more dmg
are the ragers the ones that melee hard and fast
and slam spell block, thats it

got another question to ask, do you guys like to BL on the first pull in batol with dragon and all the adds ?
ye
yeah those dudes can actually hurt if u got 2 of em on u
lusting first pull is better for lust timings yes
It's a curse that can be removed. No?
how many add packs do u pull with the first dragon if u lust
Not thunderclap ?
shield slam
but big IF
ok
the dragon, the 2 in front, and the guys walking because its aids to pll more cause of dragon los
ahhh i see what ur getting at
eat it with back to the side
not bad idea
ez
u saying to get the first los out of the way then pull all the first hallway and then lust or what
yup
I was on my 4th Grim Batol before I realized that the second boss walks super slow while carrying the mace 🙃

is that the one that chases u
dont even know if there are any los spots down the hallway though
How u not die ?
He means th second one
2nd one 
what 2nd one
Next to first bridge
u can sk ip that one
lol what
Fire time I died and figured I just flubbed mechanically. Second time I lived. Third time I died but my internet hiccuped so I assumed I missed a spell or smth and then I was informed. Fourth time I kited
go behind the banner
But you can also do it and skip later
Lel rhino did it take 4 different keys for that 
I don't even think the dragon is worth skipping before last boss tbh
so would u guys say that baotl is the hardest dungeon for prot
due to the amount of magic damage
Yeh but we timed each key so we Gucci
you only pull 2 dragons (well 3 but it dies with your own dragons) in GT
you don't even need to pull 2
if youre pulling additionals idk what to tell you, that route is weird
there's some you can manually spawn
if you run over them
in the first bit with the flying dragons
Haha not this one
big pull that
Theres 2 more
3 and 4 are here
with the dragon dont you kill the adds in front of the boss ?
the unmarked
and then the huge pack that overlaps
i know they are
There should be even another one I think
for the count
Easy % skip the ogres
ig?
u dont need the count
not needed
it's not hard to understand lads
i'm not saying I do it
but I get what they're saying
sure but why like all the skippable packs are in the middle

and they are all easy

The ogres not
the ogres are easy
i'd say you could in theory do one of those spawn ones
with one of the packs you've nuked
instead of doing the dragon at the end
For you mqybe
and maybe that'd be more efficient
Big guy
Tell that to the team lol
what addons do you think are req for M+
why you have 3 stuns
are you running anything for counts
the fuck does the team have to do with stunning
Why is spear taken over roar? Kiting?
more damage
crit favors prot
as thane
whats the addon that shows u the count updating as ur fighting the pack
the ogres you can stun the attack speed buff one and you're basically safe
Ah
and imo don't pull the locks with the big frontal casters
warp deplete
ty
I haven’t really been skipping anything
is anyone running colossus top 50 are all thane
does someone know what Meeres/Naowh is using to display the co-tank frame? Is it a weakaura?
we will when we get gear
There's a site that lists pick rate for all hero talents and some are under 10%
Psh I wish I could deplete a key
yes
hahaha
Then I’d know how you mortals live

got a link, or the name?
no, its premium, dont ask for freebees
ah alright
where do you think that breakpoint is? its so much more fun and i can hit a 1 mill dps at times i find thane so boring
What’s your favorite dungeon so far
What? Mountain thane is so much fun
just send it as colossus
dps is 1/3
people are allowed to like other things
incorrect
just send it Gloom, if you feel like you can survive with current gear, youll be fine
Collosus is a channel no? sounds garbage
its hasted
it is deff less surv but im not sure where its lacking. is it just in rage generation?
still cringe
Colossus is for people who needs jacked up trucks but don’t go off-roading
im looking forward to using it in vault keys
i accept that
but dont plan to as of yet, need more gear still
Also in most keys rn dmg isnt issue
i still have like 6 champion items
I mean, dmg done .
:\
im sitting at 606 ilvl atm would you run pheremone secreter without raid trinks? its not showing on bloodmallet
i have several options
whatever sims best
LOL
i do not have a meat hook

Has anyone tried killing the portal dudes in wake after their nerf and boosted mob count
Prior to the nerf their aoe killed everyone who wasn’t me
yes
Just curious how much of an effect it had
i think that will still be the case on fort
Gotcha
comfy pulls now but i dont know if i wanna pull them outright anyway
only if we're somehow missing %
How have y’all been handling the big beetle dorks in arakara
Have you found a route that avoids most?
The ones that have the aura that makes their friends take less damage
is there any addon for % or pathing that is helpful or you all feel is needed?
mdt is all you need really
w key is all u need
I’ve def been giving my w key a workout
If ur runing a W route just chceck before in mdt that its actualy enough . I did my forst nw this season and was kinda surprised that i missed like 12%

Just more reason to bring a (fury) warrior

2 prots and 2 fury and 1 arms you mean
Hey I just got Throngus's Finger, is it good for M+ tanking for warriors? https://www.wowhead.com/item=56449/thronguss-finger
This blue trinket of item level 37 goes in the "Trinket" slot. It is looted from Forgemaster Throngus. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

All trinkets bad find one you like

Waist or shield depends on what drops first then the othet

ok thanks
Do you think heroic broodtwister is easier for a pug raid or heroic assassin princess
imo personally brood is easier
yeah hard to say
for some groups nexus princess is easier
for other groups broodtwister is easier
both are different in terms of what is needed to be done so it really depends on who youre pugging with
does Rasha'nan auto aggro/go into combat when she lands in dawnbreaker
uhh
group just tried telling me she does
why do you ask? you need to kick her
so even if she doesnt you cant just sit around
cuz I think a dude pulled the boss but they claimed the boss auto aggros
cast goes off = she goes inmune = wipe
yah I know I have to be at the boss or its a wipe
but like I swear someone else pulled her
.. I think
she does not when she first lands in dawnbreaker
When she lands on the ship or when she lands on the ground
on the ship
oh
like the start of the fight
She will just chill on the boat if you don’t pull her pretty sure
rash does not aggro, ye
yeah she doesnt auto agro on the ship
Has anyone played around with the Silken Chain Weaver trinket? It seems like a nice little defensive bonus, kind of like a second mini ignore pain. I'm curious if the attack speed reduction works on raid/M+ bosses though https://www.wowhead.com/item=215172/silken-chain-weaver?bonus=657:11143:5865:10334
This green trinket of item level 250 goes in the "Trinket" slot. It is looted from Hidden Trove. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: The War Within.
Why don't we have those arathi bombs in raid?
I use hero track version of that and I enjoy having it, its a nice defensive every 1 min. solid in m+ packs if I say so
its a decent trinket
but since you can only get so lucky to get a hero version, it will eventually fall behind
thats one of the best you can get through delves as a defensive option
if not the best
Yea, for sure. I got a champion version just now, obviously simmed way lower for dps but could be useful for a tough fight I thought if you're getting wrecked
thank you for this -- I remembered something like this existing last expansion and could not remember what the site was
yeah I got lucky from a map and got hero track version of it
I got a hero track shadow binding ritual knife from a map, it seems decent?
that trinket sims well afaik I just do not like how it lowers stats personally will never use it that's just me though
I've been using the ritual knive for a while and it feels like the stat reduction doesn't happen that often, maybe once every 90s on average?
.5 rppm
Jakey procs 10ppm in my ❤️

So once per 2 minutes?
Approximately, yes
bad ppm
Neat, so even better than I thought. Thanks for the info
Eh, the debuff only lasts for 10s
Yeah it should be bad for that trinket
just have it proc when you aren't tanking, duh
ah that makes sense
Ezpz
that literally makes 0 difference
the class will feel slow to play for 10 secs
thats it u wont notice anything else
unless if youre in siege 🙂
My brain thought like in between m+ packs
then your gcd will last for 2 days
someone said the otherday loosing the vers could cause u to instantly drop. u loose around 2% DR on the proc
it doees nothing
Do the guys who do the bleed show up in the same pulls as the cursed blade guys in siege
Ok I didn't think so but I have barely done alliance side
all 3 are different packs
what mob does bleed
gutters = haste debuff
Riptide shredder
ok thx
shredders = bleed (non-dwarfable)
Is it hard hutting or
That dumb curse in siege can surprise you
Hokay
curseblades, sorry
But you can still sr the slash right
or spell block
Hokay
the only ones i detest are the gutters
shredders are close but holy fuck i hate haste debuffs
beam damage dawn breaker starts as soon as she starts the cast?
instantly blasted for 5.5 million on 3
not enjoying this
Shoulda spell reflected
i literally wasnt even in it
I hate that too. Especially trying to pick up that 10 pin spare and you think you got it til it drops in the gutter at the last second 😦
it decided i was dead before i had a chance to do anything and wasnt even in the beam at all
get out


i need you to tank for my shaman, ghash
GB is too hard and overtuned, that's why a 605 bear can't live throngus on a... check notes +3
there's an initial hit before the beam on everyone. on the tank it hits way harder
Yeah, it's the tank buster of the fight, so you want a defensive running every beam
i love video games except for the part whre you die in 2 to 3 hits
seems to be a recurring theme in every game
i guess thats what i must have been doing before that but i figured it said defensive due to the beams itself
every. single. tank. buster. this. season. is. spell. blockable.
no spell block? wall
just use spell block
like i say, im going to fail all these mechanics the hard way probably
I have a wonky clip that has ruined my Siege runs twice.
Why does this happend?
Listen chief, we’re all classic Andys in disguise as retail players. That’s too many button presses.
that is very true, im still asleep
nah its yogi
can someone share a MDT route for Boralus? damn i hate this dungeon but i have to do it sooner than later
there ARE infact too many keybinds for majority of specs
what am i looking at here
fury maybe no
boss does 180 with frontal
at the end of cast
yes
she does
that bug has been around since BFA
sidestep early
not late
or do like me and just run behind her
do it EARLY
not late
0.5 sec into the cast i move, guess i premove a bit instead
i dont recall struggling on and failing +2's and +3's in the past
sorry, seems like something changed
i also tried that the next run. Stood increadebly close and she still trickshot 180 ppl behind
but now that i know
hey all, I read wowhead / icy veins / maxroll guides for our bis / talents and it seems that maxroll has slightly different suggestions. For example in maxroll it has haste vers in our crafted gear but wowhead an icy veins suggests haste / crit. Which do you believe it's better?
our 2 guides
maybe ill stand a chance next time
@lusty grotto are you encountering the situation where she uses gutshot even when you're only out of melee range for a split second
no
Even when jumping down?
just preposition
you shouldnt be using the cannon as a tank
you need to be square mid
i cant access the "The war within" link in prot-faq, what secrets is hiding in this link
Interesting
that range cast cannot go off
ya, siege is a nighmare key with pugs
no idea
What’s with yogis name
idk man
Yogi u do front end development?
because for a while ppl come in with wax asking about it
and the shield react shield
kills the conversation because its not really relevant to anything else, bit of redudant question to answer saves ppl time
What is yogi wax… do I want to know?
character limit
Does that Sense guy stream?
of course he does
YouTube videos as well?
yes
I watch Yoda sometimes but
Hard to learn from him because he's always running with God tier dps
Can't tell if the route is good or if I'd need equivalent dps to do what he's doing
i dunno, i don't imagine i will be playing wow as much as i did in the past
thats all, been there done that
Chase that better life king, WOW is poison
wish granted
that works
i dunno, even doom 1993 is more telegraphed than current wow
legit
i see a pinky, i know its a pinky, i see a baron, i know its a baron, i see a shotgun guy i know what he is, caco
Hey guys, been away from the game for a while, came back and i am now 605 IL, what m+ would i be good to run to get some gear?
any
like 5-7s? or too low IL?
you should be fine for any that you get invited to
right
Just press your buttons. You’ll be fine.
the only limit is groups not inviting you in the queue
youll find out soon enough if your ilvl is too low for their perception
we cant really tell you what it is, cause it differs
I’m 607 and got denied from a +3 last night. People are weird.
it is what it is, ppl will always take highest io/ilvl even if way above whats required
but honestly if you dont get invited to those, consider it a bullet dodged
whoever is declining week 1 based on IO is an idiot
606 clearing 5s and 6s but you got to play all CDs and DPS has to interupt. If everyone is peak they are smooth if anyone is dropping the ball they feel like you belong in M0s
yea this
I did consider it a bullet dodged. They stayed in queue with “+3 THREADS TANK” and were there till I found a group. Realized the real bullet dodge was that the lead was Ragnaros.
I swear some ppl create a group just to be carried
dont
start with this please
rag players can be good
and can be bad
just like any other server
was it 2k IO to get the free tier?
what do you mean? when you start doing 10+ or whatever i guess you want to see that the ppl you invite have done the dungeon at 8+ or something no?
yea it is
its not that weird to me
whos talking about 10
okay i have more stupid questions about that mechanic i died to
a for a 3 i agree, in that case you should take pretty much whatever
#protection message this is the context
because now that i've died to it in key and understand it bit more, it does additional damage ??
so it deals dmg to everyone around me? so i cant be near other players?
It’s a tank chunk and an aoe
imo up to +5/6 you can take anybody if stuff is okay
It’s not avoidable aoe dmg iirc.
healer 590 in grim batol +6 maybe not tho
right and the aoe is on me and it will kill any dps beside me essentially
For the triple beam, right?
@umbral kernel fair enough, i did my first keys at +4 and it was generally fine to start at that level
I don’t think it’s targeted off you? I think it’s just aoe aoe.
it hits everyone. and the tank harder
its not an aoe yogi
just press spell block and move to dodge lines
he thinks its a pbaoe
right, well it says it deal 5 millon and tha another 450k, so the 450k is just a healing thing
theres alot of naunces like this, that get me killed
read this
and frustrated and not want to play
"PRESS SPELL BLOCK, AND MOVE TO DODGE LINES"
thats it
end of story
no more analyzing
i hear you, just there is like a millon naunces like this in keys
theres not
is frustrating
okay you've said it
im just stating that i dont have the energy for it any more, may stop again
ok
im burned out, cooked, sorry man
keep in mind, its the first week of m+, take it easy 😄
legitamitely
you might think im stupid and i dont get it
and i do some dumb thing over and over and ya, and its not like i dont know im doing it
and then ill go get some sleep and try it again next day with information or trying to recall what went wrong the last time, and then ill do it right next time
example
wailed on him for 6.5 hours, went to sleep, come back beat him in 1.5 hours
legitimately one of hardest bosses faced in very long time.
Is there any website/article that gathers all the starts/tips for M+ tanking ? Like what we used to have: tanknotes/mythictrap ? (I find that wowhead is basically a copy/paste of the IG dungeon guide)
Method has decent dungeon walkthrough write ups on their site
there was a person working on one a few seasons ago
but i dont know if they're still playing
your best bet is what that guy mentioned or to watch the Quazii video guides
other players have guides in youtube as well
and to look at Sense's sheet in #protection-faq
dw just pug and some garbage dps dying to every swirlie will tell you eveyr single tiny thing you do wrong
I also tend to look for Quazii, and Buntens Pull counts on Keystone guru for pathing
this is refered to as "your route sucks" in chat
Tactyks is pretty good about explaining things when hes streaming also
after key self implodes and ppl leave or timer is not met
you mean me telling the ret paladin my route before key starts. watching him pull eveyr damn caster in dawnbringer till we're 30% over, then him syaing "Your route is weird, you need help, we're over %"
ya, and its sort of this weird amalgamation of things in that general realm, that got me jaded and whatever with wow lol
CAN I GET THAT SACBROODD DUUUUDE ill pay u
