When you're at 0% haste, your action speed is 100%

#

Aka normal speed

#

Any % haste gains are multipliers

#

So it's for example when you have 30% haste on character sheet

#

130% x 1.08 = 140.4

#

The more Haste you have, the stronger ITF becomes

green bronze
#

ah, so my own haste is a multiplier by itself as well

strong forum
#

Well it's 100% action speed by itself

green bronze
#

so we don't take ITF because its not enough DPS gain or because of SB uptime?

strong forum
#

Since you can have negative haste

Need shield block to live

vivid orchid
#

if you die, youve failed

balmy remnant
#

That’s why you don’t take it

vivid orchid
#

thats prio 1

strong forum
#

And in high keys you really don't wanna run into situation where you die due to lack of block uptime

#

Wrong channel

balmy remnant
#

I mean if you drop block for 1 second you’re at risk of dying p much

strong forum
#

Not in weekly keys, but in push keys above 12, absolutely

tribal wharf
#

another thing

#

to reliably block spells

#

you need spell block and shield block active

#

from what i underrstand

strong forum
#

Correct

balmy remnant
#

Well it uses your block % so yes

wicked pollen
#

is it ever wrong to not shield block when the boss isnt meleeing to spam execute

strong forum
#

That's not wrong no

wicked pollen
#

or how wrong is a better quetion

strong forum
#

In raid you absolutely do that

#

Execute go brr

balmy remnant
#

I mean it depends if you’re main tanking how much hp the boss has etc

wicked pollen
#

i feel i can also get away with it in m+

strong forum
#

No

#

In m+ you always put up SB

balmy remnant
#

Wouldn’t do that

wicked pollen
#

mainly on bosses though

balmy remnant

i am playing a turbo psycho

ive been doing that 7-10s

I'm starting to run colossus now in keys for fun

Cuz it's also just more dmg

And dmg is fun

i have tried colossus in 7s, pretty fun

Did a mists 10 earlier with it, wish I had a 626 weapon and I'd easily do more than 1.2mil dps

i like pressing execute

strong forum

That's just, an uncomfortable build for m+

#

Literally only 50% block uptime

wicked pollen
#

oh yeah

green bronze

you gonna waste most sudden death procs

and bloodsurge gives big amount of rage, not worth removing it for sudden death

balmy remnant
#

There is just no shot

#

You are real

round pendant
green bronze
#

but i was thinking about something similar, dropping enduring defense for massacre and get juggernaut, but bosses don't live long enough in m+ for it to work

#

maybe can have 100% uptime with just heavy repercussions, without +2 secs to SB

The dps died multiple times on every pack, were all dead on all but the 2nd oss

Stupid question are we now playing the magic damage talent on the prot side of the tree?

#

And dropping the revenge talent for it?

shrewd ore
#

ya

balmy remnant
#

If you’re thane ye if you’re colossus I think it’s a dungeon specific thing

green bronze
shrewd ore
#

pretty much everyone uses it, the revenge talent is like 0.2% dps

old flame
#

Okay 👍

balmy remnant
#

10% of a revenge isn’t much it’s true

old flame
#

I didn't realize how weak the revenge talent was

#

I'll update my build, for raid too?

dusky canopy
shrewd ore
old flame
#

I mean, I'm not anywhere close to doing mythic

#

Barely doing heroic so far

strong forum
#

I'm playing the magic dr talent as thane cuz no point to buff revenge

shrewd ore
#

if u and ur off tank are taunting correctly then no need for any defensives on hc or lower pretty much

strong forum
#

Since you're sitting in d-stance alot more now compared to DF

old flame
#

That definitely makes sense

balmy remnant
#

I mean in m+ is there ever any time you aren’t in def stance?

I feel like there’s no point

Prot is too boring not to dance

Atleast in my case

It's one of the few skill expressions left

balmy remnant

Well I haven’t played prot in multiple expansions so I’ve been finding tanking interactive and fun so far deadge

strong forum
#

It's gotten better this xpac

#

Cuz I can switch hero talents

#

To get a diff playstyle and enjoy a bit of colossus degeneracy

#

And just go ape shit

#

And I'm not sick of the keys yet

inland raft

I pretty much b stance dump cds and go back to dstance and b stance bosses except hard hitting busters

we got siege and mists

i aint even really run them and im sick of them

I shouod last longer before burnout since im back in college as an old man, i e only ran a couple of the dungeons once or twice still

normal kelp

do we ever take into the fray over heavy repercussions?

strong forum
#

For weekly keys, yes

tribal wharf
#

bracken bolts hurt lmao

strong forum
#

In push keys, this season not no

strong forum
#

And they suddenly don't hurt

tribal wharf
#

im a bit worried of the trample now that its fort

normal kelp
#

i heard you want 15k haste then you run into the fray, is it true?

inland raft
#

Its fort and tyr every week

strong forum
#

That's just what my haste is at

#

Not a rule of thumb

#

In weekly keys you can run ITF just fine

#

As long as you don't have atrocious haste

inland raft
#

Hides in 14% haste

strong forum
#

Which shouldn't be possible cuz I never had less than 11k haste

#

Cuz I don't equip bad rings or neck

wicked pollen
#

only worth doing on keys where bosses legit dont do anything

#

ara grim batol is easier after practicing it but rest idk

normal kelp
#

so for higher keys you want HR?

strong forum
#

Current season, yes, cuz otherwise you will run into block downtime

#

And that shit can go south real quick

#

And by higher key I mean like 12+

#

Or unless you want to just be turbo safe with block

#

You just play HR

#

The difference is "just" 6% aoe dps

tribal wharf
#

for machinists its just as simple as hard stop dps until even right

#

thats what i died to on mythic

#

well, team wiped, and then i kill boss

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

they have to die together so yes

tribal wharf
#

okay and theres simply no other way, cuz that mechanic will be unforgiving?

#

doesnt seem to have much of delay to wipe

lusty grotto
#

its not tyrannical so it might be healable (sub 10)

#

but, no reason why it should happen

strong forum
#

It's rly not healable

#

It literally hits for millions

Every 2 seconds or so

lusty grotto
#

not for a long time no

fluid shard
#

I think i want to try colossus in raid tonight

strong forum
#

Have fun!

lusty grotto
#

but sub 10 you can just heal a few ticks, given that the remaining boss is almost dead

#

its a lot of ifs

lol

he wanted to ask about that particular item

tired lion
cold pilot
#

So it's saying if I get all of those items, it would be a 5k dps upgrade?

strong forum
#

Nah, it's saying that the trinket is 5k upgrade

fluid shard
#

Would you recommend punish or execute colossus build if we’re just reclearing Heroic?

strong forum
#

You can scroll down

#

And see which item grants how much dps indi ideally

cold pilot
#

Oh nice okay. thanks. I feel like I can sac the 5k dps for the trinkets I have

#

oh wow you're a wizard

strong forum
strong forum
#

I would personally fullsend execute on most bosses cuz heroic is easy now

#

But if you're not a mythic guild, then maybe punish for most

fluid shard

Nah we’re not mythic

oof, fun detected

The locked 20 mythic raid is a big blocker

gritty eagle

hmm, i guess arms loot spec is the go to because of the lack of good tank trinkets.. i havent started farming gilded crests yet but i just started doing 8s so i guess ill farm a bit more until i can do 9s and craft shield/one-hander and search for trinkets in vault

?

myth shield

if you did 10s

i didnt, only 8s this far

That’s what made grim batol super hard last week

trim condor
strong forum
#

Idk I've had a super easy time in grim batol

trim condor
#

cast is like 2 sec and you can reflect dmg and dot

strong forum
#

But my groups are all title pushers

#

So, slightly above average

bleak breach
#

Yes, well that generally helps

#

The average group has had a really rough time in there

trim condor
#

grim batol is fine, but if you cant reflect this dot, its kinda ticking on +10

lusty grotto

GT is indeed pretty chill

vivid orchid

I've not really had any difficulties in there

If they're living long enough for a second cast, holy beebus your DPS are worse than the ones I've found

what the fuck are we even talking about

pallid quiver
#

The sword mobs in GB that put a dot on you

#

With Shadowflame Slash? I think is the spell

trim condor
#

Yeah, itss both of them. Dont know wwhat dpsers you have in group, but every key I did, they cast them even with cc

tribal wharf

i dont really want to run grim batol that much but its so old its new again to me at this point

pallid quiver
#

The flamerenders in GB, yeah

tribal wharf
#

last time i went i stood in the tornadoes

#

3rd boss

couldnt seem to get out of them easy, got slowed by something

the idea is to unsync them

but

synced is best for reflect

just use it if its better than what you have track-wise

It doesn't have stamina huhuhuuuu

change your haste values to see it update in real time

i see i get it now thanks

#

and id want 40% haste buff with ITF yeah?

lusty grotto
#

you want 40% to SWAP to ITF

#

otherwise you run HR

#

you cant get 40% this season

#

so you run HR, in keys

#

in raid you full send ITF cause youre not actively tanking all the time

static pumice

alright ill figure out how to get 40%

you cant

yea you can get kinda close

but not close enough

According to Sims you can get to 93% block uptime

You can get by for a long time

not using haste gem/enchant/flask

Which you don't in a real scenario

or is it with shield charge already

Yes

#

i see

merry sluice

tbf if we're just doing based on ~40% last season
wouldnt it be even harder to maintain since haste % per stack is lower now?

its not lower, theres just 1 less stack

I see 😄

I'm going to mainly be doing m+

not pushing suuper high keys

pallid quiver
#

Intervene's got some funny uses in M+, and you've got a decent stun suite for dealing with casts, as well

If you're not pushing super high keys, it's best to pick whatever you'll have fun with, since all the tanks are strong enough overall

cinder bridge

maybe weird question, but are prot warrs... good right now?

Even Pala, who's seen as literally dead in the water, and public perception is that they can't even tank heroics, can do even +10s fine

yes 636 shield

well yeah but thats if u get it in vault

lusty grotto

well youre not gonna if you open as arms/fury

sick sentinel

yeah but 3 ilvls vs all the tank trinkets in vault available

lusty grotto

3 ilvl is pretty massive

#

in terms of block

#

its up to you

your sub

but thats the only reason to open as prot

as per your original question

alrighty, and there's nothing other than shield right? trinkets are shit

harsh trellis
#

So looking over logs, should we be swapping over to colossus for raids?

lusty grotto
#

like nome said

#

if youre on a myth guild and have the gear

#

you can swap to colossus for reclears

#

if youre not

#

you can try it, but there's a chance you will struggle or make it harder for your group

#

youre looking at logs, so you will find parse fiends

#

the context is important

#

Thats what im lookin over

lusty grotto

colossus is the parse hero tree

thats why they are

the revenge talent is 0.2% dps

its useless on mountain, ofc u take the other one in any real key

no I'm not

do you think everyone that comes here is pushing 12s?

ur suggesting s1 that's asking about talents to take a 0.2% dps increase

ok then im asking for the rest of your aggregate garbage

tribal wharf
#

andd nome wrote that guide

#

and he chats in here with us frequently

#

i will trust nome

#

and thus nim

shrewd ore
#

and nome takes the talent i said

#

and nim said is trash

south zealot
#

revenge is beans

shrewd ore
#

so ???

tribal wharf
#

thats all there is to it for me

lusty grotto
#

question mark question mark question mark

next pasture
#

hero tier helmet, or normal queen ansurek trinket from the vault? is the trinket difficult to get?

onyx moon
#

is revenge beans because we are not hitting revenge as much due to our strategist procs?

balmy remnant
#

what the fuck is going on in here

south zealot
#

yes but also it just sucks

#

as thane

shrewd ore
#

mountain thane just doesn't have many open globals

south zealot
#

even if u could press it more

#

its still beans damage

tribal wharf
onyx moon
tribal wharf
#

im not entirely?

balmy remnant
#

this chat for the last 5 min

tribal wharf
#

also, pressing my name reveals i am deathray444 (supposed to be 44)

onyx moon
shrewd ore
#

I'm not mad lmao, I just don't like this guys attitude lmao

tribal wharf
#

so im not changing name again , and if i am bothered to it will be doom shit

lusty grotto
#

both talents are garbage

#

so pick whatever you need

#

its that simple

balmy remnant
#

i will no longer make any decision without this random dudes seal of approval

tribal wharf
#

but, yes, for me

#

i like to laugh in 22% magic DR ?

lusty grotto
#

if you need to check top 50 io for that decision, thats on you

balmy remnant
#

so did someone break up w u today or what

lusty grotto
#

your decision

balmy remnant
#

why you so angy

tribal wharf
#

why wouldnt i want 22% passive dr, especially for dots or boss puts tons of shit on the ground

south zealot
#

top 50 io (especially this early in the season but also throughout the patch) is never a good indicator of how to play and what trinkets/talent sot use

#

using defensive stance as a defensive makes you a better player

#

sitting dstance isnt significant at all

trim condor
#

Isnt defensive stance no brainer after removing dmg penalty?

main vault
#

you still do less dmg

south zealot
#

less crit

balmy remnant
#

if you really wanna you can dance for 3% crit

#

lol

tribal wharf
#

ya well, once the scary spell goes off or phase ends, back to bstance

#

no big drama about it

south zealot
#

its not significant really but suitting bstance and using dstance as a defensive makes you better

trim condor
#

Yeah, really worth drop 16 dr for 3 crit in pulls.

main vault
#

if you dont need the DR, then its not worth

onyx moon
#

well it is worth it if its easier content

trim condor
#

I mean yeah, if you farm low content, but then you dont need stance dancing

tribal wharf
#

we die to magic damage that is over time and is like a poison that we can dispel (as druid monk other)

#

paladin

lusty grotto
#

easier content, or not taking any big damage

tribal wharf
#

so i want the edge vs that regardless

lusty grotto
#

is kind of the same situation, but one requires knowledge/exp of damage intake

tribal wharf
#

its only 6% dr vs specifically magic, but its something we cant control easily

#

without having reflect and wall ready

main vault
#

most of the time you arent going to notice 6% difference

shrewd ore
#

u also aren't gonna notice 10% revenge damage

tribal wharf
#

no, but until i get better i absolutely want to have that

trim condor
#

6% isnt that big tbh. But I také it for +10 just for mental peace. Some +10 on my 606 prot hurts

sick sentinel
#

holy hell nerotox i think you should give up trying

#

idk how people are defending revenge talent

balmy remnant
#

i mean hes right'

#

you arent gonna notice that shit LOL

shrewd ore
#

never, these ppl would rather die in a pull than lose 0.2% dps

tribal wharf
#

the 10% revenge talent is because of colossus indirectly

lusty grotto
#

we're not talking about BSC

#

that ship sailed minutes ago

balmy remnant
#

hes talking about fight through flames

tribal wharf
#

yup, but, overall i feel like, thane more live more and FttF is that

sick sentinel
#

if this discussion is about 7s go for more revenge damage cuz why not? if this is about doing 11s just go for the magic reduction and stop thinking about it

balmy remnant
#

which is the coutnerpart to best served cold

#

so yes you are

#

lol

tribal wharf
#

and for colossus, it is about revenge

lusty grotto
#

no, we're talking about def stance

#

you guys just brought it back to FttF

tribal wharf
#

im only bringing that talent up as foot note

main vault
#

No. The response to “you aren’t going to notice 6%” was to bring up ravenge dmg again

balmy remnant
south zealot
#

if youre playing thane that talent doesnt matter who cares

lusty grotto
#

yeah that wasnt lost on anyone pretty much lol

south zealot
#

that shit doesnt matter

tribal wharf
#

i know i wont notice 6% magic DR, but i also know 6% dr is 6% dr

south zealot
#

if youre playing prot warrior you should ideally use d stance as a defensive cooldown bc it makes you a better player

#

and when youre pushing big keys/uncomfortable keys you can chill in dstance more

balmy remnant
#

if youre a human being you should drink a lot of water and piss a lot of pee

south zealot
#

dont sit dstnace when youre taking 0 damage

sick sentinel
#

stance dancing isnt rewarding enough anymore to minmax

#

id say u would do well without it

tribal wharf
#

name

lusty grotto
#

yeah idk if its stance dancing more like doing a fucking dance and sitting down for 5 mins until the next event happens

sick sentinel
#

true

#

it was worth in df but not worth the hassle now imo

south zealot
#

its not really a haste you just hit a button for 3% damage

lusty grotto
#

i have no idea how blizz could delete stances though, they'd have to rearrange the tree

south zealot
#

and then hit a button if you want to have an extra defensive

trim condor
#

I thought about m+, I guess stance dance makes sense in raid when not active tank or no buster coming

sick sentinel
#

in raid its so easy that u actually should dance

#

in m+ id be scared

balmy remnant
#

do you guys like change your clothes while driving to work too to save a few extra seconds

tribal wharf
#

whatever game is showing on psn now is good

lusty grotto
#

thanks for the asmongold updates yogi

balmy remnant
#

liek are yall brushing your teeth on the freeway type shit

tribal wharf
#

they got lots of good games showing for playstation

balmy remnant
#

thats the energy that stance dancing gives me rn

south zealot
#

its not even about saving time it literally makes you better

#

as a player

balmy remnant
#

seems extremely extra

tribal wharf
#

that dragon scene

#

is what i wanted DF to be

#

so much

#

exactly that

ok then sit dstance

@lusty grotto hey bro is there an easy way to get the discs

probably dungeons right?

If it's the same as the last one, fastest is probably spamming heroics

any pointers for tankin 3rd boss ? I seem to get clapped hard when 2 adds are up with the boss. the dungeon itself is alot easier. respecced and managed my rage sb time better

rocky crest

sry NW

wooden widget
#

Two adds really shouldnt be up

onyx moon
#

shouldn't*

wooden widget
#

Are you doing like 12s or higher or something?

onyx moon
#

one of the adds needs to die faster

rocky crest
#

10

onyx moon
wooden widget
#

I edited no worries

onyx moon
#

the best solution is for one of the adds to be dead

wooden widget
#

Yeah I know that if your dps is holding all cds for stitch, it’s likely that if you don’t 1 phase or come real close to 1 phase you’re gonna have adds overlap briefly

#

It’s not really on you to survive two adds. If it makes you feel better, even if you could survive two adds the dps and healer will die soon and you’ll wipe anyways

onyx moon
#

that said most of the damage there is physical so keep SB up and if you have 2 adds still up shield wall

strong blaze
#

Prot or Arms loot spec for weekly vault? (Thinking maybe chance at Myth track mark of khadros)

i know that doesnt really help and you cant help other players making play mistakes

lusty grotto
paper crystal
#

For 3rd boss in NW you can save all the weapons and orbs to use for it

lusty grotto
#

Idk about orbs

#

Probably best to use them in big pulls

#

But yeah spears all go once boss is hooked down

#

Also tank aboms, while standing 90 degrees from a potential hook path

#

So you puddle out of the way of it, or out of the way of anyone doing hooks

#

Other than that, everyone has to do their part, don't move boss outside of 2nd hook path while its down

south zealot
#

an orb on amarth and big necropolis pulls

lusty grotto
#

Yeah that's where i use them

#

Nim, 10 mists?

currently stuck with two tank trinkets for one slot Silken Chain Weaver and Refracting Aggression module. Just curious...is the reason why the former is considered an A and the latter a C ...the on use vs. on taunt difference?

toxic pewter
#

also found a heroic boe ring omg

#

my loot luck today owns

lusty grotto
#

being C does not mean its garbage

#

but defensively weaver is stronger all the time, while module is situationally strong

latent hull
#

Makes sense...thank you

Are these armour penetration changes to the dungeon bosses a nerf to prot warrior? I'm a little confused which tank was the imbalance that they talked about in the notes

Is Spelunker's Waning Candle decent for prot warr?

Am I correct in understanding that our four piece is effectively worthless from a defensiveness perspective?

#

Sooooo i can’t remember the last time i had 2 on use trinkets. What is the general rule here? Most powerful one on pull and then sync the 2nd with an avatar?

jagged gust
#

general rule is to not use 2 on use trinkets

#

Trinket damage is modified by vers and crit, so if you have 2 on use damage effects order doesn't matter, but if one is gives stats then use it first and line it up with your CDs

sonic brook
#

i have two options stemming from vault (running M+ only):
1: Hero legs + H shoulders to finish 4pc, no H AK Sacbrood
2: Champ legs + C Shoulders to finish 4pc, yes H AK Sacbrood

seems 1 would be better for pushing higher keys this week than a dps-oriented trinket right?

old flame
pallid quiver
#

is area 52 down again

#

it is

i was in a heroic raid that was actually working, and now i'm not

#

This is the third week in a row

#

At the same time

small comet
#

area 52 down

quasi pivot
#

Yep right at last boss of key as well RIP

#

Guess that's what happens when AKB keep pruning staff levels

old flame
#

the Sim is saying I should take the neck from my vault but i'm going to lose like 1600 haste... feels off

pallid quiver
#

Other stats are, in fact, good for damage

#

They're actually fairly close, so just having more is not surprising to be more damage

#

That being said, there's a mon-zero amount of necks you can get as drops

royal chasm
#

is it worth rushing 4 pce tier? it doesn't seem that great to me

pallid quiver
#

no it is not great

#

It is better than not having tier,

#

But you can comfortably sit on charges until you get myth pieces

#

You're not going to go from Heroic dungeons to soloing Myth raid or anything

old flame
#

what's the other option if I don't take the neck then? not really sure.. I can get 4pc with catalyst or take helm and be stuck with 3

royal chasm
#

I have a 2 pce already and that seems good enough for now

pallid quiver
warm plinth
#

And if you don't wanna grab that, you can grab Luerce; he won't mind

old flame
#

lol

#

I think i'll grab the neck since it's one of the few veteran slots I have left

pallid quiver
#

i don't even know if i want to do anything in wow today anymore

#

It feels like shit getting everything clapped again after the third week in a row

vague abyss
#

i need great vault advice:
Im thinking in getting that bis ring (Hero),
getting Tier shoulder (Hero, but already have it champion)
Tier Champion head or chest (i dont have those, but is Champion x.x)

Currently im tier 2/4

#

i feel like the ring is better, our set bonus is not as important right?

lusty grotto
#

alrighty boys

#

ez clap

pallid quiver

nim bully blizzard to get me off this server

our a52 people were mad

but its affecting more than just a52 people

pallid quiver
#

I'm very butt mad, since I managed to get into a group that was slapping through H Raid

vague abyss
#

why i would move from area 52? (im there)

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

cause it got nuked

#

like every tuesday

pallid quiver
#

Bare minimum, weekly

lusty grotto
#

its weird but illidan didnt get nuked

#

im thinking it will in about an hour

pallid quiver
#

It's had small bits of downtime on other days, as well

#

Illidan hasn't gone down on any other day, so I'd expect it to stay up, personally

lusty grotto
#

every single tuesday at 10 (or i think 11 et)

#

illidan gets shit on

#

and then a52

#

again

#

last 2 tuesdays it did

#

trust, my guild is illidan based

i was telling i had no problems, then the server just kicked me in the middle of an awakened machine x.x

still trying to decide which item to pick

f*** got dc'd again, in wave 12

area 52 problems i guess :/

Weren't people talking about this larynx thing yesterday? Is it actualyl legit?

astral crystal

i got the same dumb sword

edgy bone
astral crystal
#

yep

vague abyss
edgy bone
#

It's our worst stats but if we're optimizing everything else as crit haste then vers mastery isn't the worst thing ever

#

and can't we catalyst it later?

warm plinth
#

Weapons don't have catalyst versions

astral crystal
#

Not weaps no

warm plinth
#

Just armor pieces

astral crystal
#

but

#

its cheaper to upgrade later

#

if you get best stats

warm plinth
#

I'm gonna upgrade yo face

#

gottem

edgy bone
#

ok but what's the true story on this larynx thing

#

were people just trolling

vague abyss
#

yes, you could get a 623 sword of poop stats because it will save a lot of crest to upgrade the good 619 sword you have

plain vapor
#

is it better to take mythic track helm to convert, or take the hero track sacbrood? i dont mythic raid so i dont have many chances for mythic track pieces

#

i guess i can chance it later for another mythic track head piece

vague abyss
#

myth track sounds good, but... saying as someone who never ever got that dumb egg, i would pick it tbh xD

edgy bone
#

@strong forum Larynx trinket is legit then huh?

astral crystal
#

the tears flow

nocturne spindle
#

as season goes on and on more people will be willing to trade sac so

#

if your planning long term mythic track stuff is always better

zinc marten
#

Guys so we crafting 1h and shield for m+?

vague abyss
#

eh, idk, bis lists says we craft wrist* and belt for embellishment reasons

nocturne spindle
#

technically you want vault sword and shield for the 3 ilvls

#

and also ulgthrax or whatever boss one is drops a shield

#

so might be not hard to get on mythic

plain vapor
#

sims say helm is better anyways

azure dagger
#

Am gonna tank norms for first time, recommended Ilvl?

azure dagger
plain vapor
#

true

jaunty goblet
#

honestly, tanking normal is fairly braindead. If you're worried about performance, 600 would be fine, but you'd be fine at 585-590

azure dagger
#

OK. Time to speed run gearing in 6 hrs

jaunty goblet
#

it all depends on how comfortable you feel, and if you know how to rotate your cds

azure dagger
#

Ehh first time but the guild will definitely carry

#

I'll try get as high as possible

nocturne spindle
#

on normal even as someone new probably the only thing that might be hard is ovinax because the adds make it feel chaotic

#

all the other bosses are very brain off for tank just swap when you need to

merry sluice
#

im fucking losing it with fotm shamans

azure dagger
#

what cds are there to even rotate? I was under the impression yo ujust keep up shield block/ignore pain as much as possible.

#

And then there's a few long cds.

merry sluice
#

as prot warrior ur cds should not be 'long'
shield wall will get hella CDR if you're spending rage properly and not capping.

you can also stance dance to d-stance when needed
you have demo shout.

spell reflect is big for magic dmg.

#

if you are, definitely do not stack shield wall and spell block
you have that too for casters

azure dagger
#

Sometimes I feel like I have too much rage but I assume thatll change at higher difficulties

urban portal
#

Press ip more

azure dagger
#

Does it have a cap

merry sluice
dawn geode
#

anyone have any tips for the stupid orbs on last boss in boralus lol

#

have to go swimming i guess

merry sluice
#

spent rage is CDR on your strongest CDs, and self-healing

azure dagger
#

Oo that makes sense.

merry sluice
#

yes, IP has a cap. and any rage gained past this is basically wasted healing and CDR

obtuse egret
#

is there a video/sheet of everything that can be spell reflected?

azure dagger
#

so even though IP caps, spending the rage is $$$

#

I see now

sick sun
#

what would you take?

dawn geode
#

socket lol

sick sun
#

lmao

merry sluice
#

i mean it'll take a good few casts to cap ip anyways
having IP is definitely good I dont wanna undersell its defensive value (although definitely lower prio than maintaining shield block)

Just IP is off the global cd, so you can spend rage without delaying any other ability

dawn geode
#

idk if that fang trinket is any good

azure dagger
#

Its mid tier for dps

mental pecan
#

might b stupid question, im new to tanking + warr
should i be using ravager and spear on cd basically?

#

feels weirdge overlapping

azure dagger
#

Unless you're in a single target fight and you're about to go to an aoe fight

#

i would use them on cd

#

They generate rage

mental pecan
#

ty!

zealous goblet
#

am i psychotic or is spear not actually instant?

#

it feels like there's a small delay on it actually doing damage

pallid quiver
#

it does have a travel time, like most projectiles

zealous goblet
#

i think i keep almost griefing my pulls because i try to squeeze spear in before any openers

#

or it feels like it

azure dagger
#

Can you spell reflect DoTs

#

like shadows of strife in delves

pallid quiver
#

Do you mean reflect them off once they're on you?

#

If so, you only get the DR

azure dagger
#

I mean spell refelct before it hits

pallid quiver
#

Depends per spell

#

Like every other spell

zealous goblet
#

i go
demo shout > ravager > spear
because i feel pressured to squeeze in as much as possible for the 4 seconds of enhanced damage

#

or 6*

azure dagger
#

Just tried it and you can reflect shadows of strife, delvers rejoice

pallid quiver
#

That'll help a lot

merry sluice
#

prot wariror top dps on that fight inm big keys

zealous goblet
#

but i'm a brainlet. i'm curious about what the numbers difference really is between spear and roar

azure dagger
#

I love prot warr. I play prot warr and enhance shaman bc of lightning aesthetic.

zealous goblet
#

because i'd trade a considerable amount fo r the coziness of roar again

#

but if it's a huge difference than nah

azure dagger
#

Demo shout kinda stresses me out

#

I just use it on cd

#

since its both dmg and defence

merry sluice
#

i mean, generally the best to do, not worth holding unless you need the dr as part of a defensive rotation

just try not to overlap it w/ other dr

tulip oar
#

I think I might craft a shield, is it Beledar's Bulwark we want or just the stat stick one?

zealous goblet
#

wait

#

its MY TURN TO DO THIS

#

jk im not that sassy

zealous goblet
#

but the gear page on the guide says which one idr

tulip oar
#

There are two pins in this channel

#

Either are about the shield

zealous goblet
#

oops

#

brb ending myself

merry sluice
#

smh

zealous goblet
#

but yeah wowhead guide says which one i completely forgot because i am not shelling out 50k to no mike, jim or bob

the guide says bulwark is hot ass

south zealot

easy

jagged gust
azure dagger
#

I remembered shield charge gives shield block too.

mighty valley
#

especially with the insane number of freebies thane gets

zealous goblet
#

hmm. has anyone run into jewelery recommendations for sparks?

#

i know the guide says to treat them equally and stuff - i mean specifically which of the two purples for each choice?

#

earthen craftsmanship, or the other one?

azure dagger
#

the neck alternative is ah ealing one so no contest there

#

As for the ring, binding of binding is good on paper but guide recommends focusing lens for embell

zealous goblet
#

also i have never done anything involving embelishments before, the unique part, it means i can't have past 2, so it doesn't matter where i put 'em?

azure dagger
#

correct

#

Weapon embellishments are usually the strrongest but the guide doesnt suggest them

#

If you have a crafted weapon, look into the darkmoon sigils

zealous goblet
#

gotcha

#

so naked necklace and rings

#

since duskwoven thread is good

#

duskthread lining*

azure dagger
#

Id say so

#

can always swap embels on naked rings, cant swap binding

#

In case balance happens

Is it wise to just eat the pull damage on the last boss of Ara-Kara if your group is struggling to get into puddles?
