you opt to play the entirely passive bear and then complain about simple

this is not how i raised you

ngl going from bdk to prot to druid I notice no difference in braincells spent
just following rotation and keeping cd rolling
ok im rerolling prot pally so i can be at maximum stress levels
real
like look at this
thats ehrps in siege 10 pug
thats like 1 rejuv
woulda been alot less if we had a poison dispel totem but ah well
Rage classes rise up
I miss the rage

i miss double sigils on dh


Keep yourself safe bud
thats how you end in somebody's list
my list i'm going to kiss you good night on the forehead
brewmaster
rolling around stressing out
yeah i got banned from the dk discord once in df bc I said something about vamp blood talent being cool, still not unbanned xd
umbilicus being awesome when it was recco'd on the guide or wutever
I heard someone in this channel saying they open vault as arms vs prot. Any reason?
I'm considering making the full time switch to prot, as I'm really struggling to get into groups as Fury right now (even though I'm decked and a good IO, it just seems competitive AF for a fury warrior to get in)
Does prot want damage trinkets?
well imo crafting the weapons at 636 is the play and tank trinkets just suck this expansion tbh. better trinkets from dps loot pool and prot is already tanky without tank trinkets
Anyone else swap from dps to tank and have a general synopsis of the change of quality of life or how it feels to main prot over a dps?
I'm having identity issues
dps in raid tank in keys
What do we craft with our sparks?
Have they decided or are we still holding until Season 2?
^ a lot of tanks start out as dps mains and go tank bc they realize cant do anything without a good tank
I like this approach, but definitely feel like I'm split with sparks and such, I made my 2h wep with spark and now just a 590 wep as prot, feelsbad
I feel like if you're a good M+ tank you're super desired, vs a good dps is easy to come by as an alternative
Any tips for learning good routes? I feel like that's the scariest part about getting into tanking. Siege, Dawnbreaker, they all have scary routes that aren't straightforward
Some are pretty easy, but some are scary AF
Maybe review routes and just play the game more on reasonable M+ powerlevel vs going high
Still scary AF
depends
i did crafting for raiding purposes and used leftover scraps for prot when i raided
either brick a few keys, practice +2s, or just sit in mythic dungeon tools and play around with it like i did in dragonflight
you can fuck with group sizes and % in it
I feel like I need to watch videos
I can't even track MDT when I don't remember what the dungeon totally looks like lol
If you need to practice do low keys and follow the W route.
i feel like videos are grief to watch because you'll sit for 30 minutes and absorb like 5 mins of it
just brick a few keys and limit test, fuck it
Yeah. got lucky last night in a +6 that my healer was guiding the route a bit
If you have two monitors I try to bring up a route i'm not comfortable with up on keystone.guru
Brick others keys as practice
Good advice
my mind starts wandering immediately
Tiktok has changed the way my brain processes info
I do my doom scrolling on YT these days
JJK has plenty of brain rot, can confirm
But does it bave skibi toilet?
it has a lawyer in a bathtub if that counts
Who needs skibidi toilet when Sukuna has W rizz and can make another binding vow?
Maintenance extended 2 hours
eu W
i dont know anything about anything but the 2nd to last boss seems fun asf
hard but fun
Naturally they extend maintenance. Can’t play wow before I gotta go adult. Edgemaxxing my vault gains fr.
PDT is such a fake time zone what the hell
pacific dummy time
real
wait how does the beginning of SoB work now with cross faction
is it standardised
or depending on leader
Always alliance version
ew alliance version
Ew
idk i just got general understanding of the dungeon from m0s
and then just press W in key
just play safe, dont do some dumbass MDI pulls
and your key is timed
by trying to do skips or MDI shit you brick infinitely more keys than just playing safe
every key ive tanked this season i timed
except 1 weekly no leave ara ara +10 with a less than ideal group that i stuck with after +2ing an 8
the difficulty jump from 9 to 10 is very steep right now
i like that they made the 3rd boss in SoB stop patroling
correct
What 's W?
idk, 9s are a ez two chest
its the move forward button
and then 10s are... dont die and youll time
shield slam for me
but theres so little room for error

With the brood trinket do we even bother to press the Button i mean it gives haste and strengh for me so both nice buffs
i got my shit smashed in on a tnw +10
Try pressing W in dawnbreaker
nah
blue shield + skill issue not a good time

Also, I heard changing to steady flight helped in there, but it didn't change it for me
granted, Ive only done two days worth of keys
idk man
Cheers
my siege 10 isnt even in there yet

So I'm generally a fury main, when swapping to prot for M+, are there certain meta embellishments or things I should be considering changing?
Otherwise I'm a damage dealing prot war
just put on a shield and sword
I like that
maybe put on some heavy haste rings (not sure what fury stat prio is)
other then that... just slam
Is mountain thane still the move?
colossus does more dmg but is squishier
Did we get an answer to this yet?
either works
Anyone here a WA that makes the shield block icon pop up in the middle of the screen when its available? Even with standard prot war WA package my eyes cant seem to keep track if my shield block is on cd/available/active, focused too much on whats happening with the pulls
Will I notice my damage going up if I go from 590 to 610+ one hander? Or is it rather negligible
I've been thinking about this too
__What spec should I open vault with? __
- if you need a shield and 1h weapon, but run the risk of getting shit tank trinkets -> loot as prot
- if you want dps trinkets, but run in danger of getting 2h weapon -> loot as arms
- if you want 1h weapon and dps trinkets, but run the danger of getting 2h weapon -> loot as fury
Makes sense. Thanks Nom!
I wonder what the default spec is
if you level from 1-80
without spending talents
arms

cuz you generate rage from auto attacks and can spend it aswell
fury or prot cant generate rage without talents
I want to try/practice out some tanking rotations, but the dummy kills me in about 1-2 minutes... Id love to compare my Details results to some sort of baseline. How should I do this?
tanking dumms is not how you learn tanking
Yeah i just insta die and notice my SB wasnt up and im just like "well fuck me". Maybe just a thing i need to get used to but would be nice if that specific WA exists.
if you want to practice rotation hit normal dummies
The name of the spec arms warrior is weird to me
kelpfist is your friend
i need to open as prot cuz 593 shield
weapons are referred to as arms
arms is the master of all weapons
Like, master of arms, but it's the most limited spec as far as what you can use re: weapons
But it's not
It's just one two hander
But I get your point from a lore perspective
ok! and the baseline/comparison? Any idea what my ability usage % etc should look like? Aura uptime I can check in Details
Tactical, master of strategy, thoughtful and deadly strikes
Just give me back Gladiator
not rly
do a sim
check the dmg profile of the sim
i have the problem when playing casters, anything with a mana bar really, i just cast until im out of mana and die
ok! same as with dps spec then
si
all tanks are built in a way that optimal dps rotation, is also the optimal "defensive" play
theres no "defensive" playstyle other than playing make believe that what youre doing is better
😄
Best prot WA ever
🙏
Hey, i've been having issues with rage generation in keys 10 and up, from time to time when no cd resets happen it's almost a death sentence for me, is there a way to do something in that window to save yourself, or is there something wrong in my rotation that nothing procs from time to time? I of course stay in meele to try to proc shield slam reset with autos. Demo is a good way to emergency generate a bit of rage but i usually use it at pull for safety, is that a wrong play?
do you have logs?
Guys both maxroll and wowhead say that mastery are the worst stat for us, but in raider io all the top prot have a lot of mastery.
worst =/= bad and a lot of them are probably multi specing
How do we deal with high key Mythics like Necrotik Wake where there is a high amount of magical damage constantly. I feel like I melt instantly in trash pulls. Is it just to spend non stop on ignore pain?
@warm plinth
rotate defensives
Much more than crit or versa
spell block, shield wall external etc etc
its not a TERRIBLE stat, just we try to avoid if possible, which often we cant
there is also the fact that we are in week 2 or 3 and gear is very limited
I don't log myself but i'll see if there are any
dont oversend ignore pain
Ok so fuck it and chase haste then
send SS as much as you can
this will change everything
also dont play barbaric training
anyone can please take a look on my logs and tell me if i'm on the right foot for prot warr 😄 https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/AbdKLJ4trGcQ2hBv
do these 3 things
way too much revenge, not enough shield slam
not enough ignore pain
left is my casts breakdown
right is yours
you can already see the big discrepancy there
mash go on shield slam
thanks bro 😄
shield slam is the key
because, if its on cd, it can be reset
and it generates a fuck load of rage
Remove revenge from ur bar
Probably cause he doesn’t have the rage sending revenge instead of SS 🙂
troll
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/GbfrD7CyvhXTnR1t#fight=9&type=summary Here is one log of a depleted run
U will lose dps but try to hit revenge only when it procs, ur survivability will soar
Untill u are comfortable managing ur rage
I only use revenge on bosses when damage intake is low, otherwise almost not at all
You should revenge if both SS and TC are on CD also to get SS procs
Anyone have a log of a High key mythic. Curious to see your casts and uptimes.
I felt solid on warrior till 6+. I'm 610 iLvL but fall over in some instances as soon as cooldowns run out. Just not sure if it's normal or I'm doing something wrong.
I suck and have no 4 pc or enchants and gems but here is an 11 Ara Kara.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1kKz8VB2aX7Nfy6n#fight=6&type=damage-done
do that if he have IP and block up,
procs have nothing to do with why you cast Revenge
I unfortunatelly don't have any logs where i've been having real issues staying alive. But in scenarios where you don't cast revenge at all, is having no procs for like 6 seconds in a row a skill issue or does that happen sometimes?
im 610 ilvl and ive been tanking 10s and pulling like a degenerate and almost never sweat about it
especially having shield wall for almost every pull
Ik, but for his case where he need to balance the rage spending
i just ask for an external while gathering/setting up the pull, thats like the only time i could die
hmmm.
teaching bad habits to fix bad habits
doesnt ever work
Yea, I think I've been holding cooldowns like that for oh shit moments but things happen so fast that by the time you realize it's one of those moments you're dead.
That's true i guess
and use defensives proactively
My premade healer says it's my fault, and he should not heal me all the time. I've checked death logs and i've been on a stable 30% of hp without him healing me once before i finally died. Is this my fault?
highly depends on the situation
probably mutual fault
Grim Batol last boss with ads biting me to death before his pulsing damage
I struggle with that part as he just refuses to heal me and i have to both try to survive and pull aggro off of others
Grim adds i find very chill. even on a 10. But fairly geared on my war also
thats the only real damage part of the fight for you
so just have your cds for then
if they werent healing yku what were they doing
I swapped from prot pally to warr, my premade healer thanked me everyday, says he doesn't need to heal me much
Even on full cds i still take a shit ton of damage there
And i don't usually struggle on other stuff
ahoy, someone can help me with Umbral Rush? in Dawnbreaker Nightfall Shadowalker's ability. Its one time do a bunch of damage, and one time its do almost 0. I cant figure out what is the difference between the 2. I have the same mitigation setup, the same DR's up. Everything is the same, except one time its delete my character from the game, and the other time, its just a small breeze
On that boss i was the 3rd most healed person with around 15% healing taken from him
A lot of magic damage there, it's our only pain
You can parry it
Also spell block it
Look at a log. I have one that shows ‘Miss miss parry parry miss’ etc
Does spell block work on these?
Any magic damage as far as i know
On the trash ones before last boss i sometimes end up with 1.5 mil dps taken, is that normal?
so its completely random outside of spell block window?
Does shadow damage. So use a DR or take the hit. Like any other magic damage.
I can't remember, i played gb once in mythic 0 and never touched that cursed dung again
I've checked these guys deal physical damage
That and siege, i just can't man
My bad then, but u should be alright in physical damage
Yeah, i should but i really struggle, even with shield wall, demo, shield block, ip, and defensive stance up. Is there something that i'm missing
Ur shield block and ignore pain up 100%?
Yeah
What's ur ilvl? And stat
615, basically 616. 13,3k crit, 14,4k haste, 500mastery, 6,5k versa
Just press SW during the adds when boss does the aoe. Should be up for every one.
does bigwigs voice and sharedmedia_causese overlap in alerts they give? can i install them both?
Yes
yes i can install them or yes they overlap? haha sry
Can have both
ayt sir tyvm
I use both no issues so far
But using text to speech in WA’s is the way to go. Can set it to say whatever you want.
whats the link?
There was just an update pushed to grim batol: something called "depths grasp immunity"
They wouldnt make the tentacles immune right?
I guess u have to rely on CC's then, u stat and gear are top
Yeah, i don't think there were any ccs there except shockwave and i had a 90% uptime on both sb and ip
So i did not forget to press them pretty sure
looking at the first pull here
green circles are good IPs. white is don't do this (over cap for 3 seconds) red circles are bad IPs, and yellow is fine but could be delayed a bit
i don't have time to look at everything because i need to do the campaign before bed :3 but mistakes usually carry over
Thanks
you also only have 70% blocked hits. i recommend going HR
I've been experimenting with both HR and ItF, is HR better right now overall?
itf is better if you can maintain good block uptime as it simply is more damage. but HR is a lot better defensively
should I prioritise revenge over execute?
sometimes
wowhead has revenge higher, but doesnt that mean you just never cast execute?
Is this trinket any good?
execute is more damage per rage on like 3 or less targets i think
but execute is always better (if you have the rage for it) on prio targets that you want dead asap
ok, so for braindead ease of use, execute > revenge with a minor dps impact on aoe situations
but I like to keep some brain cycles for not standing shit
sure, but keep in mind execute costs up to 40 rage while revenge always costs 20 unless it's free
Nopers
right, thanks. By the time I think about either of those its either that or IP
Not even for the flat damage reduction? Damn i got it to 610 man
Well that’s the only thing to it so yea
is that tooltip accurate?
Not so sure got it from wowhead, as am away from pc
Believe so from what I’ve seen
+/- a couple hundred
26k when we have millions of hp doesn't sound all that hot
holy hell
Since reducing 80% of a 1mil vs 975k hit is lmao
allergic to making real tank trinkets

For silken court is the best strategy for the two tanks to swap bosses each time a piercing strikes goes out? Or should one tank continue to eat the poison bolts / void bolts the whole time?
Tbh it doesn’t really matter
Boss does zero dmg to tanks
Ideally you won’t eat the caster boss the whole time as prot though, it’s just the worst at managing that
They changed that i believe
Once spell reflect and spell block are on CD those poison bolts start to hurt if not cleansed immediately
Know piercing strike will shred i guess
So probably safest bet is to full swap, just takes some coordination. Tough in a pug
Yesterday I noticed thunderclap wouldn't refresh it's slow effect on spotters in SoB is this intended behavior?
thats the pvp set right
was there a stronger slow on the target?
No. When the slow dropped the spotter would leap away same with 2nd boss. Only workaround was to watch for the effect to completely fall off the reapply to maintain the slow
Ya I think it's a bug but I wanted to bring it up here before I put in a report when servers come up
my spotters have never leapt away for as long as i hit them

only when i cheaped out of pressing TC
Idk, piercing strike is kinda a joke honestly
hi all, I'm a prot noob and was wondering if bleed damage is worth building into (primarily the Bloodborne talent?) Or is it a waste
Well you presumably aren’t asking about mythic right now
So I was speaking on the extant heroic/normal versions
Which do zero dmg to tanks
Oh wait yea thats for mythic only, wtf so they just did that because they were solo tanking it ? Wtf is wrong with this company
Very handsome
They completely failed at designing this raid from a tank pov
It is not remotely interesting or challenging
Dude goes to nw picks up spear and dc's on a boss. Comes back, says he's gonna relog, relogs, runs out of a dungeon losing a spear and requests summon after which he stand afk for another couple minutes
Sigma male
Or shaman goes to stonevault , furst pull
so based
Sugma male more like.
uses spirit link and NOTHING else
dies without pressing any defensive or potion or anything
I have 600k+ hps he has 300k 80% is spirit link
Our standard builds do a decent amount of bleed damage normally through auto-spreading rend and deep wounds. Bloodborne is an ok little dps increase, it's just really hard to spare the points unless you're playing content that doesn't need Spell Block at all
Sounds like enh in wotlk. Something looks at you? “Guess I die then.”
types guys you don't press defensives it's gonna take over an hour
LEAVES
(only he died)
What thank were they using to 1 tank it? Prot can't tank those casts for the entire fight
am i cooked for not running ravager/spear of bastion nor thunderous roar for m+? They feel bad to play so i just drop em
They don't use skyfury, they don't use bloodlust
only thing they do is interrupt when i'm reflecting
yeah
that's a lot of damage you're giving up for basically no reason
Druid or monk they were using
yes
Okay got it, appreciate the advice!
both ravager and spear give a lot of rage
ravager helps gathering shit when it's grouping up also and spear roots mobs like in arakara first or mists last boss
Those changes on Silken Court are for all dificulties or only mythic?
The roar is much better for me feeling wise, so i run with that and fuck the spear
ok! it's worse but you can do what you feel
Mythic for now at least, they can't have the player come with their own strategy i guess
What do u run instead of ravager? Cause I don't see any other option that is as good at prot tree
it does not make you tankier, what?
Look at the top warrior in m+ in raider io, non use ravager, but they use the spear
didnt 2% crit give us parry chance and crit block
Well crit does
not % increases, just the raw stat
and crit block is our mastery
two completely separate stats
ngl that sounds fake a fuck, if it is true i'd rather be misinformed
% crit not giving us parry chance seems fake
unless it has changed going into tww which i doubt, i'm right
Idk man am just gonna use whatever has more haste and ignore the rest. Can't keep up with this raw and % any more
before crit talent
Raider.IO pull talent tree from armory, not the talent they used at the key. It's the talent they used when logged out. May not be accurate
after crit talent
Better use warcraftlogs
U r right, gonna check it now
gonna be a bunch of dorki fans running battle scarred in +2's surely

Bro what the hell
nish don't be rude
yeah the bleeding edge key tanks are sometimes dropping ravager to get bsv since basically any survivability no matter how cooked is desirable
but even then it's only half of them
yep thats me rn, my fantasy as a tank is being as tanky as possible, disregarding all damage increase
ravager is defensively better than bsv
Ravage makes u tankier by giving u tons of rage that transforms in more IP
it gives you rage so it gives you indomitable healing ignore pain and cdr on defensives
Not crit block
But 2% parry yes
So only thing we are getting is dps increase from 2 talents point?
yeah but like, no ones actively holding it for its defensive purposes 99% of the time.
yep
bsv is stronger defensively in extremely specific situations which these tanks are hunting for, wouldn't recommend it to most
You’re getting a lot of rage
Which equates to more ignore pain
Which is tankier
i feel like we are having two different conversations, nish

i would also like to share that binding intervene to a 4 different buttons like alt+1234 is very beneficial, just in 1 key i managed to save 2 different people with due to the faster reaction time it enables
definitely huge for some specific keys where someone needs a quick defensive
Why not do a mouseover macro and click on the partyframe?
if you have binds available sure, i'm a big fan of mouseover macro
I don’t know what’s happening ever
you're so real for that oomfie
I don’t even have one bind for intervene let alone 4
This is some PvP Andy shit
yeah i pvp on my hunter which uses arena 123 for 3 different spells, so having intervene on party 1234 is easy enough
Granted it’s definitely effective and it is what they do in PvP
Yea
If you’re a pvper it makes absolute sense
You already have that muscle memory
is there a spreadsheet or resource out there for high priority Intervene encounters similar to what exists for spell reflect?
not yet, but you can kickstart it !
French exclamation point 🤢
in my case, it isn't up for you to know that, but it is up on ur allies to call it
cry about it !!!
is it ONLY physical melee/ranged attacks? or are there some physical damage spells that get included?
nono, i am using it for the shield 😄
Physical spells sometime work
idk if it can even redirect any boss attack
But you actually have to know case by case
i'm not french i don't get it
Oh thank god
thank, i appreciate your input
OMG SPIDERMAN
https://www.archon.gg/wow/builds/protection/warrior/mythic-plus/talents/10/all-dungeons/this-week#hero-talents
Sumary from warcraft logs, most ppl run ravage at high keys
servers still down I assume?
Nah that’s me
who is not running ravager?
Some ppl are running BSV instead at some 10+ at wowlog
Tbats not what u drop for bsv
very interesting in a bad way

Fotmer's
Wait I didn’t even think about this
Keeping shield charge??
Lmao
people do stupid things at the top of the leaderboard
why didn't you just say it was another tuesday?
I mean, u dont NEED ravage to time a 10+, it just make it easier
U dont need anything to time a 10 expect a compentent group of players
doesn't meant that it's not stupid
i don't need keybinds either, it's just objectively better
arguably the most difficult thing to get
Real
Even thats debatable you could get really good rng on every pull in a 10 and ppl just rng into mechanics and tome a 10
Thats very unlikely but could happen
hey guys i'm going my first dawnbreaker 10 as wprot
isn't this the first week of m+
what the cd rotation on first boss
for the laser buster?
is spell reflect enough to tank it?
How important is a shield for tank
Very
I spell block first until spell block is down.
Shield wall next.
Last stand if both on cd.
Repeat.
Also think you can reflect every one too
For which tank? If u ask a BDK it will say very little
Can u describe the difference between a 606 and 626 shield?
Huge
20 item levels
I really don’t understand the point of this question
yuge
What was it 1% dr for 1 ilvl in df it was like 3ilvls was 3%dr on shield or am i miss rembering
defensively the single most important item
If u google it u will find a formula for how much block reduces the dmg, u trow in the ilvl and see how it changes
just wondering, what is your defensive rotation for queen ansurek heroic for the 3 feasts that she does on p1? cause im usually assigned to that mech while the other tank is on the liquefy cast
Thx I am Ilvl 613. I do play dps but for m+ I am tanking. Doing some 10/9s. And I wonder how big I need a shield
Thx
As big as possible
Same as all other gear
you need 639 shield 
Used to love tanknotes.com as a resource, sadly it's not maintained anymore
Hey guys, quick, probably stupid question. Is it viable to tank M5+ in dps gear with a shield? How crucial is tank gear to being able to tank? A raid needs 2 tanks for 20 people, but if those same 20 people go mythic+ we need 4 tanks. I want to "fill the gap" but trying to gear mill DPS gear and tank gear at the same time feels like a real chore.
Ok then follow up question, when do the secondary stats actually make a difference? When do you start noticing the lack there of?
Maybe in those 12+? IDK, many ppl doing 10+ rn and no one have bis gear yet
99% of playing tank is gameplay
that last 1% is gearing
Ok, thank you for the response
And luckly, haste is good for arms, fury and prot
Nonono, use 2h for prot, more dmg
Works for DKs 🤷♀️
Yeah just put your MH fury weapon in MH and then put your shield on before you switch to prot spec. Works everytime.
The real Colossus spec
Newish to retail - Can someone explain the reason why iLvL is so important? Is there a calculation done on damage taken/mitigated that plays purely off of the item level of gear? Or is the phrase "iLVL is king" referring to the base stats being higher on anything with a higher iLvL?
largely due to main stat being so important (strength), and secondarily due to increase in secondary stats as well as stamina
we're in
maybe
it just means that the gains from mainstat + total budget of secondaries almost always outweighs the particular spread of specific secondaries
loading screen boss
What exactly does spell block do for abilities? For example, will it block or reduce the shadow portion of the damage taken from Princess Ky'veza's void shredder ability?
he got hands today
ya its not fully letting me on lmao
we prot vault openers or arms vault openers
i need pants and a 2h, arms here
yeah i think im crafting shield and sword
it applies the damage reduction value of your block to relevant spells - check the sheet in pins to see important spells it works on
Thank you!
no sick tnak trinkets though right?
u silly
they need to allow free transfers off of area 52 again this quality of life is so awful compared to other servers
I think any move from a full/high pop server to a med/low pop server should be free
yeah I have thought the same thing for a long time also
or at least severly reduced price
df and tww has really made area 52 a lot worse
like 50%-75%
I remember df launch day was awful
dead game
stuck on a52 loading screen
Yeah I am getting off a52 asap I just dont want to pay to do it lmao
it works exactly like block, except crit blocks can reach 100% mit
I currently have a shield with 610 ilvl and boots with 580 ilvl. I have the materials to craft an item with 619 ilvl. Should I craft a new shield or new boots?
M+9 very hard to me nowadays do complete...
my other toon is on stormrage and it's soo much smoother
Rare Cloak, or Myth Gloves (I have hero gloves)
is that the very rare cloak
Yea
I would take that myself
, just keep in mind that there are no crafters so im rushing my crafting army
oooh cloak
thats the cloak from rasha nan right
work orders work cross server in guild
ya
so that works perfect for me
yeah I would grab that cloak personally but thats just me
anyone have numbers on the cloak affect?
its bis cloak only a better version of the cloak replaces it
got a 1/6 hero from a t8 delve
Happy weekly disappointment day, everyone.
I'm ready to log in and get my myth sacbrood
same 😦
sometimes lucky
give it a minute
nice
which one yall think? i have both already but hero ilvl 🥶
are servers up?
yes
I take it u need a 1h weapon
i have heroic sikran weap
btw gamers
do u want prot trinkets
is warcraft logs working for you.
if not I guess open fury
only trink i want is sac i think
fury can't drop 2h right?
if you dont want a better shield or even 1h weapon and no tank trinkets may as well open arms
1 and 2 hand
this trinket is actual dogshit right?
is Meathook still bis trinket?
guys help me, should i pick bis trinket or finish 4 piece with gloves?
It wouldn't be bad for pushing if it were just a use trinket, but tying it to taunt is so unncessary and weird
no
That would be ask too much it ain't a wow Tuesday without the vault flood
dont know what to take.. aldready have the very rare neck as champion track but I guess I want a hero track version of it.. then there mythic trinket and mythic pants 😮
sim yo self, treat yo self
im saving this gif
what are the bis 2 crafted slots?
this or hero track tier hands (i have 580 hands, 0 tier pieces, and i dont raid on this char)
trinket was only real option i had
ring tert and track but ya, shit stats

dont pick hero track gear from vault
The loot gods decided they were going to make my decision a little difficult today
waht about hero track very rare neck vs mythic pants
why not?
cuz you can farm hero track from m+?
then neck
that neck is only getting replaced by mythic version of itself
what about hero very rare neck vs this mythic trinket
that trinket kinda whatever right
its good
fuuuu
its good but it has some downsides
is darlmoon sigil Ascension bis for us?
total negative if you mis-use it

ez weapon bois
wouldnt chant of armored avoidance make more sense than leech? could someone explain to me why leech is better ty
you're generally not in danger from group wide AOE damage
avoidance does nothing to tanks
that's meant to kill DPS, not tanks
durr
How does Refracting Aggression Module work with Ignore pain. Do both 'bubbles' absorb at the same time? or one before the other? Bad trinket or?
Is it any good? I mean 2+ million bubble sounds good but...M+ low key player atm.
Thats what my gut says.
good gut
hell naw
scatter no trolling on tuesdays
that trinket is scam
man iunno im not trolling honest, i already have 3 tier pieces on hero track, we get another catalyst today, right?
yup
and i already got a heroic shield
yes catalyst charge and another half of a spark
so pick ilvl > all or sim
then pick sockets
its not that poopy
u think so?
does good dmg for a defensive trinket
maybe i just cop
(i wouldnt pick it from vault)
dont got many choices
does the prot 4 set work on blast as well or just clap
wait, sockets over ilvl?
if you can consistently farm hero gear, socket is better
unless its an ultra rare item from raid
so nome is right
for obvious reasons
the voices in my head are winning
i'm taking trinket fuckit. my current trinket is literally miles worse, and after that run i did with my friends yesterday another defensive sounds good to me
it's fine you're gonna get another in raid
trust
you do now big boiii
Stuck on what to get from my vault. All of these sim within ~0.5% upgrade and currently only Champion slot in all these slots.
Gloves will give me the change to get 4 set this week (currently 1/4)
Ara-kara would be great long term and save on that farm.
Shield would give me a hero track shield
I don't raid only m+.
Throngus's finger shit?
pretty much shit yes
Thanks
now i wonder
what the best way to get this taunt is
1min cd
if i should just bind it to an ability macro or some shit
dont know
we're never picking that trinket
so youre on your own
uncharted territory
lmaooo

Anyone have any opinions on this shield? Showed up in my vault and not sure if it has any value
its garbo, but if its higher track than what you have, then equip it
already have my Ara-Kara Sacbrood, all I play is M+, which is better?
no stam
hmmm champion track sacbrood or 616 haste/vers/avoidance/socketed bracers?
Is this shield decent?
its beans p2
brother
love vault day
scroll up
its shit
lmao
literally 2 lines
Sorry folks 😦 my bad, work and play at the same time it's never a brilliant idea 😦
it's okay you just took the attention away from my question 👀
no worries, it was just posted literally as you hit enter
Skarmorak Shard vs Spare Meat Hook for purely M+ tank

5 target patchwerk 1 min or 1.5 mins for M+
sim sim sim sim sim sim sim sim sim sim sim sim
Man I have to decide between the very rare neck and completing my 4pc
ill keep it 100 i sim 1t 5m dslice and 8t 1.5m whenever i sim for m+
yeah i mean
though these dungeons make it hard to pull that many enemies
its just easier to give the barebones one
5 more consistently realistic
isnt it good? in +10s to have it at the start of every other pull. when its more dangerous you have a decent shield at the start to have time to ramp up your mitigation?
we got an extra catalyst if you didnt use that yet, we have 2 now
Yeah I'm very unlucky with gear, I have 1PC rn
because someone pity gave me the curio
Where do we see our catalysts?
Got the ring from last boss in vault, what nature dmg can we do to make it proc more? Does prot have access to any nature?
there was a quest directing you to it
is there a list of best defensive trinkets?
I dunno how much better the neck is vs other necks in its slot
like i could sim it against mine but thats not super useful
here you go Jlink
oh its the harmonized silk. Are we supposed to have 2 of those right now or more?
yes
2
Sweet, thanks
Is it just me or is our set bonus kinda meh?
Should I be rushing for it or no big deal?
no big deal imo, its ok not great
between having something and nothing which is more valuable?
answer that question and youll have your answer
probably no need to rush
Was only asking to see if you guys thought it was worth chasing with intention or not, not complaining
but it's some damage and some DR
Yeah thats kinda how I'm feeling about it, extra damage is nice but I'll hold off on using catalyst charges for now
moving on
Feels bad passing up a very rare item but man i want 4pc lol
you shouldnt have then
get the neck if its hero track or higher
How good is our 4 piece set? I have the option to get some 610 shoulders that I can convert to tier for the 2 set, or take a crappy 584 helm and just get the 4 piece.
Not good enough to take a 584 helm
My main healer is a resto shammy who sometimes complains about mana, so I figured the neck would be helpful for him. Plus thats a crap load of haste. (assuming we mean the same neck)
I'll do heroic today see if i hit on the neck otherwise prob taking that, seems too good to pass up
Definitely take the 610 shoulders
the neck alone wont make you survive more
were not saying neck because of that
we're saying neck because its rare
Anyone know if warrior has a way to do nature dmg to proc ring from final raid boss? It's in my vault
and the chances of someone getting it without guild loot distribution, is small
im doing 10s fine, Im not pushing this week anyways 1/2 my group is on vaca
rare, haste heavy, everyone wants it
brother do you know what Mountain Thane is?
That massive chunk of haste has the hidden value of allowing you to take less well-itemized rings and other pieces, which is honestly great
RNG protection in a way
Oh nice, yeh ima take it then
even aside from that, I don't think it's possible to get to a point this tier where we wouldn't take more haste
Good point, despite the fast pace of thane I still always feel like i have more buttons i could be mashing if GCD was faster
no u
Sims are saying myth wep instead of crafted wep with ascension with around 10k dps difference.
Do that or take the properly statted myth belt and go for crafted wep/shield?
trust the sim
🫡
dont worry about "properly stotted" theres a reason why we keep mentioning ilvl > all
pick it
that ring is turbo bis
you aint getting it easily in a pug
and yes, mountain thane does nature damage
Especially for a weapon, where the secondary stat count is relatively low
unfortunate vault
vault fucking me since its intro as a dumb chest in 2016
hero to myth tier for me 😄
at least its something i guess
you can have two duskthread linings active at the same time?
yes
its only showing amount for 1 embelishment
read
ah
should look like this
why does obsidian beam hit me regardless or where i am in danwbreaker?
Elemental Focusing Lens, stacks too?
first hit always hits tank
yes
should i craft a shield or weap first?
you should be able to craft 3 items with this reset
yeah i sent my first two sparks on embellishments

thats
not a smart play as prot
shoulda crafted shield with an embellishment on it
but oh well
can craft shield now if you want more survivability, weapon if you want more dmg output
@inland raft why not the spare meat hook 623?
you dont want to pick non-bis trinkets from vault
and ideally also not hero-track items
Is meat hook not bis?
from raid you want madqueens mandate
but you have to kill her to see it in vault dont u
what you suggest i take nom? not really any good option
take the item that is the best for you
Anyone what ilvl the rewards from the world boss scale up to? (if they scale at all)
the one that sims best and is stuff you want
Just got a 603 belt from it, am sad.
i do have some crappy 593 pants still somehow, so I'd take 603 pants if that's on the menu
hey i will take 603 gear
my ilvl is 608 but those pants are my last poop piece
i swear youre uuid blessed
from raid you want my nuts
goddem
XDDDDDD
sorry i peaked in high school
I hope you get all capes
Fakin watch me
LOL
nish what have you done!
ill take whatever the hell i can get
big mediocre vault wooo
I mean yeah, with only hero/champion track vaults there's not much excitement to expect
ya, cuz ur not good enough to reach eviteron
wat
def not cause idk what that is
Anywho, time for bedge
can you pick a name change back to deathray or yogi
Ok, I'm gonna come off as a nub again. But how can it be tyrannical and fortified at the same week? They remade the system? What's different from bfa you reckon?
Also. This season has 8 maps for +M. I see other seasons in the past has had for example 12 maps in the pool.
Is the +io score adjusted per map depending on how many maps are in the pool. Or will certain seasons just naturally produce higher io scores? If they have additional maps
10s have both tyr and fort
see here
i only speak to fellow blasphemous 2 enjoyers now
So I shouldn't expect much difference in gameplay next week (after weekly reset)
?
Only ascendancy that changes?
if youre doing sub 10s
youre doing fort only
hope that helps
bargain changes week to week
whats this weeks affix about
fort and tyr alternate week to week
something to do with same ish mechanic as boss 3 thread
What were you expecting with champ track gear lol
Stop orbs from resching mobs, u get mastery and leech iirc , otherwise mobs get dmg@tribal wharf
is it something i should let dps players pick up first, if it gves a buff
which i assume it does
maybe a nice trinket or somethin for my shitter alt lol
Wait the buff isn’t group wide?
it gives everyone the buff
That’s so toxic
huh, interesting
Oh good
no bargain buffs only 1 person
its all group wide
you should always help as a tank
i liked last weeks affix TBH i actually had valid reason to hit inting shout
my 2nd team was hoarding all the balls
first group was just angry and complainy so i farmed block list
How much haste do i need to get off of heavy repercussions
around 40% unbuffed
Aka not feasible rn
Tier shoulders is obvious choice right? I dont really raid much so probably wont get it otherwise
fang is terrible
ill take it
just looted a +leech sacbrood 😎
sorry if this has been asked 1000x, what spec is everyone opening their vault with?
prot - no shield yet
Arms if you don't need a weapon/shield, prot if you do.
Hi, i look for craft but i don’t know wich embellish is the best … When i look top War tank they don’t the same embellish
Someone has done a sim to know wich one is the best ?
how many crests do u get from a +9, timed and untimed?
12/5
ty
chest is big ilvl upgrade and gives me 3pc but the rare cloak
How much haste do you need to play iftk 25%?
40
iftk?
but everyone is already playing itf
i run itf with just 25% haste, can keep 100% uptime of sb while active, if you use it smartly
Is into the fray still worth taking in raid?
its must take in raid)
Hello,I need advice what embelishemts you put on your prot. warr on m+
how exactly does itf work tho, i get +11% haste when on 4 stacks
its a multiplier
