#

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?

vapid berry
#

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 went tank for the LFG queue times

as well as tank satchel cus i wanted mounts

snow willow
#

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

# agile elbow Did we get an answer to this yet?

__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
agile elbow
#

Makes sense. Thanks Nom!

plush tendon
#

I wonder what the default spec is

#

if you level from 1-80

#

without spending talents

strong forum
#

arms

plush tendon
strong forum
#

cuz you generate rage from auto attacks and can spend it aswell

#

fury or prot cant generate rage without talents

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.

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?

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?

sweet summit
#

sometimes

rigid laurel
#

wowhead has revenge higher, but doesnt that mean you just never cast execute?

hexed schooner
#

Is this trinket any good?

sweet summit
#

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

rigid laurel
#

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

sweet summit

sure, but keep in mind execute costs up to 40 rage while revenge always costs 20 unless it's free

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?

waxen frigate
#

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

hexed schooner
#

They changed that i believe

cyan epoch
#

Once spell reflect and spell block are on CD those poison bolts start to hurt if not cleansed immediately

So probably safest bet is to full swap, just takes some coordination. Tough in a pug

yeah the bleeding edge key tanks are sometimes dropping ravager to get bsv since basically any survivability no matter how cooked is desirable

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

tropic linden

it gives you rage so it gives you indomitable healing ignore pain and cdr on defensives

But 2% parry yes

So only thing we are getting is dps increase from 2 talents point?

narrow hull

yeah but like, no ones actively holding it for its defensive purposes 99% of the time.

bsv is stronger defensively in extremely specific situations which these tanks are hunting for, wouldn't recommend it to most

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

tropic linden

Same as all other gear

tropic linden
#

Used to love tanknotes.com as a resource, sadly it's not maintained anymore

copper nest
#

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.

tropic linden
#

Totaly doable

#

iLVL is king

#

Secondary stats are, as the name, secondary

copper nest
#

Ok then follow up question, when do the secondary stats actually make a difference? When do you start noticing the lack there of?

tropic linden
#

Maybe in those 12+? IDK, many ppl doing 10+ rn and no one have bis gear yet

plush tendon
#

that last 1% is gearing

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?

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
