Yeah I just started running prot this season. I'm a rookie, but tracking shield block + ignore pain uptime and its decent
this build isnt good for your level of keys play the recommended one from wowhead/icy veins
it will be better defensively even
alrite, cheers š I will switch back then
dont be conservative with your cooldown, press shield wall whenever you have it up and something else if you don't have shield wall up
Just got absolutely melted in gb pre nerf in a +7 with that build, felt bad for my healer. at ilv 605 or so
shield wall with recommended build has arounr 40sec-1 minute cooldown and you have it for every pull
Anyone here done Zekvir ??
A FEW NOTES! all new prot warriors fall for some of this, myself included.
shield block can be stacked. you don't need to track an 8 second timer, just send your charges unless you're about to overcap at like 22/24 seconds.
ignore pain is a rage dump. do not track the uptime of it. it should have good uptime from a good rotation. send an ignore pain at 60-70 rage only. this will leave you 35ish rage to revenge for a shield slam reset or a shield block.
don't run this build right now. i'm not super elitist, this is coming from a fellow... not so experienced player. prot warrior is a mitigation tank. you are either dead, or full hp. if you're full hp you're doing everything right. if you're dying, you either need to rotate defensive cds, make sure you're not being hit from behind, or doing mechanics properly
Alrite cheers, I feel like I'm using it off of cd but I can probably work on that as well
with this build you have a talent that gives you 2 charges of it, recommended uses other option that your shield slam generated more rage and reduces shield wall cooldown
so you shouldn't need so many defensives and kicks just yet
with shield slam being you most important to press button even in aoe situation because of its rage gain and damage it makes wall cd increadibly short
Yeah I know š I will change back and try š
Cheers, I actually had no idea about the shield block stack. That will make it easier to have decent uptime
final notes, ignore pain DOES stack too, but as i said, it doesn't matter. you mainly use it to heal for the rage consumption and minor mitigation, even when it's fully stacked
Now of that I'm aware at least š Cheers guys, thank you for the help. I will take your advice to heart
How do people decide between colossus and MT for keys? Iāve only done MT but curious to see the other side of things
remember to enjoy yourself and don't be afraid to brick keys lad
i brick many keys limit testing
colossus is for fun or when content is too easy and on farm. mountain thane is just superior otherwise
I can't even come close to killing Zekvir ?? and it's driving me insane lol
better mitigation, namely.
What are u struggling with on it?
I did it yesterday not too bad about has hard as original mage tower
I put it
Cant seem to kick everything enough
I wish I had a way to wipe enfeebling like hunters do, so i didnt have to kick it every time lol
Brann seems to want to take a break when I need him the most lol
I'm learning!
GOD DAMN AUTO MOD
you can also statcheck... the pest... eventually
brann goes up to level 60. season isn't over for like 3 months
so expect like 20% more brann damage and like 20 ilvls worth of stuff
I can upload my kill if ppl think that will help
What spec and curios did you have on your bran
Dps
I mostly struggle with killing the addw
Scope and amorfous
Everything else is fine
I think my major setback is my autism. I can't function with too many keybinds
wait whjich combat curio?
i hate you
i have like 2 r4s after nearly 100 delves
i have not been blessed
How?
I have them all
Are you doing 8s? I think eventually they drop at the end of every run
I think they cone from bountifuls
yeah bountifuls
YOU LIKE THAT R1 PORECLAIN?
I'VE BEEN DOING MY BOUNTIFULS
IT'S AN INSIDE JOB
I HAVE R4 ZEKVIR BLOOD
I GUESS
THAZT'S PRETTY NEAT
game is racist.
IT'S OK
I GUESS I'M NOT WORTHY
I like porcelain & amorphous
Yes I like them 
So what should I use on Zek instead?
Jakey is probably talking about the one where Brann aims at you and shoots in that direction doing damage
ty ā¤ļø
the hall at 3rd boss is really cancerous to fight
tons of eggs that spawn adds, and the main dudes have knockback
so you think, okay, ill just take them to the stairs so i dont get knocked into the eggs
wait you can kick the knockback though
but then the stairs, if you get knocked damage you take fall dmg and die, only way to live that is float or heroic leap
3rd boss trash threads is bullshit
hes playing well and has a good group around him probably
Itās like 2-3 kicks lol
or just has a good group around him
You should have 5 people in your party, most with a kick that is off cd by the second time they knockback
Yeah itās a nothing burger. Very trivial.
telling grouo kick literal anything kickable on kick cd seems to work to make key easy
always have ao much less problems when that happens and happier healer
cuz its not heal bolted guy, heal bolted guy, dispel, aoe, tank bust, bolted guy
I wonder if they rely on ignore pain a lot
no
or just maintain shield block and use cooldowns for almost every pull
and have a good healer
All warriors rely on that to cope with the general vibe
like for real, look at this talent tree from one of top runs :
No indomitable
Battering ram wtf
Immovable object
Thunderlord AND Show of force man
by group
bro it's this player : https://raider.io/characters/eu/blackrock/Shuhwar
one of the low baby thread keys i ran someone was really mad at th3 priest cuzthey were talking about kicks done, apparently priest only did his cc silence thjng once in 20 minutes
Crafting 636 shoulders is generally a good idea right since we wouldnāt want a set piece there anyway? @jagged pier
i mean are u likely to get myth track shoulders?
that doesnt answer my question
u will be equiping at least 1 piece of non haste set gear for 4 piece
hideous
will u do 10s regularly?
How likely am I to get it in vault?
3/5 have haste
Yes Iām
then no
I'm wearing 5pc cause I cant find another pair of shoulders š
cause u are likely to get shoulders at some point in the season
Where we droppin' boys?
tomatoe town
With the vault rng itās bad to bet on it imo
I think shoulders is a āsafeā bet for crafting for people who donāt raid.
days of old we had as many as 5
Yo why is our 4pc so doggy poopoo?
but like what were they thinking.. shield slam crits make thunderclap do more damage?
You canāt go against some discord logic and actually play the game like a normal human being.
as thane main i am okay with clap getting boost
I really hope tier 2 isnt as shit, all im sayin
Cheers guys, just tried a +5 now and your tips improved my uptime on shield block by 12% š Using it on CD and stacking it, around. 82% uptime, room for improvemnt but a lot better. Downprioritized ignore pain, which landed at 70% uptime instead of my normal around 86. Instead of using ignore pain as a def cd I had a lot more rage for damage which helped me keep aggro.
protip, you want lots of crit cuz it converts directly into parry
so youd be having more ss crits and its uo more, i imagine with enough can get big value from 4pc, lil coping tho
<3
towers too many fuckers walking around, i liked starting junkyard too
i didnt play fortnite for a long period of time but in season 4 i got lvl 100 battlepass
and i even won a game that season solo
no of course not
but his talents setups are weird asf
Quick question - I'm approaching my first gilded crest upgrade, I have a 619 crafted weapon and shield, which one upgrade first?
Shield got prio, as block value is our bread and butter value piece
Question is: Will you get easy access to a 639 shield or nah
I would hold for weekly vault then, if ya dont get it, craft it
TY my dude
Hi guys, new to prot warrior. Got 3 sparks to spend, my main target is going to be m+ at the moment, maybe raid later on
im wondering what combo should i go for
looking at raider io i see few top prots going for weapon + ascendance
and weapon + x2 linking on equipment
any suggetions for newbie?
wondering how much haste is too much haste for us ?
So i get the high end players running bsv going into 13s because things hurt so much by why double wall? Isnt it less wall time?
When it stops simming best
cdr and rage is better
does world souls count as WQ
for zone chest
says i need to do 1 wq but thre is noe lol
how many sparks we supposed to be at? 2.5?
gg
3
i have shield ring and spark in bag
check ur bank
it will go into reagent
not the WB
Would you guys keep Wings of Shattered Sorrow/Sureki Zealot's Insignia on champion track vs a hero track item? I'm not sure how to rate the effects on them
I was in similar situation where I am using champion sureki insignia and I had the hero version in my vault.. I ended up choosing mythic pants because I guess I valued the mythic track stats etc on a pants slot over hero neck even that very rare one... still not sure I made the right choice but that is what I did
that neck is bis for the record and it is only replaced by itself, so it may actually be the right choice to take it
For me crafted neck sims quite higher than HC version of it ( 626 vs 636) it doesnt account for versa for someone else so in overal the gap will be closer but still. Even if its bis difference is realy small.
The very rare back seems bit useles for us, if u got it its nice but nothing im gona chase personaly. ( at least till mythic raid)
which one
Running back to back Stonevaults until i have neck and trinket
seen both drop multiple times for others
is crafting neck a grief?
Did they realy fixed zekvir reflect?
guys how do you dodge the overlap in 3rd boralus ?
we got stomped while waves
make us deplete
apparently its a tank thing
thats was the setup xd
how could i manage to have the boss not looking at the grp
I let dps stand near the column while I'm much further away
so he runs past them to frontal me
Top tier diagram
paint skills
like this
what the hell is the counterplay to orb x eye of the storm overlap on 2nd boss arakara
is crafting neck a grief?
Thx for the Advice to go Thane. Goddamn is it fun and powerfull !!
is blood surge giga for overall rage in a dungeon?
i really want it but i cant find a nice way to get it
Rng , or someone with imunity picking them up outside
recommendations for third craft on an alt?
thats for the line
cuz, if everyone stacked, and the line goes on during wave, gg
did they fix the line not hitting on the statue? if not, just have group stand on statue during waves.
what i mean is his frontal line
that is also what I mean
not the line of waves
the frontal line did not hit on the statue
im not sure if it works the way you say
it 1000% did last week. I haven't explicitly tested this week.
quazii even put out a vid about it iirc
well, im 90% sure it used to be that line would also create a high damage void zone for each dot it created
so you wanted to be closer to edge, but then youd get 1 shot by wave
unfortunately we live in 10% world then. the void zones from from the puddles not the line shot
I actually kinda like it tbh. least lame boss in that dungeon.
All of SoB*
is crafting neck ok to do? i crafted my weps already
I have no rage, shield slam and thunder clap are on CD
do I just afk until I get a shield slam proc or what
yeah do a quick bio
that feels so awful
wat
Do the free avatar procs of the Moutain Thane capstone also activate the other effects that trigger off Avatar in that talent?
It's amazing how easy it actually is to leap the last boss in Ara Kara on his suck in
BOB LEPONGE
he even gives you a clue where you toon does little 'jump'
once you realized there are 3 stages of pulling, it's pretty easy to time it..
First suck is slow
Second is faster
Third is really fast and that's when you jump
if you jump before a stage change, it will grip you in
just wait for abt 1s left and you character will be doing a stutter and then you can leap right after
dont have to think almost

Hi, why I can't remove embelishment from shield ?
I can with the sword but I can't with the shield
Did you craft the embellished shield or the ever forged defender?
The wrong one lol my bad
how do i know when the group should lust when reading MDT runs?
Is there something going on with GB 2Āŗ boss and defensives (when you're supposed to run I mean)? I can tank him no problem with Shield Wall, but SW last slightly less than his buff and the last melee one-shots me 100-0 even through Battle Scarred Veteran. With and Without SW
(What I mean is, shouldn't he just one shot me even with SW?)
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/ZdgFjVyYRzAQk9vT#fight=7&type=damage-done 95% dps performance yay 2 seconds over because they failed the second boss lol
any1 can give me some tips on the logs ? ā¤ļø
is crafting neck ok to do? i crafted my weps already
normally shield afaik, but if you got a good one do weap
i already crafted shield and wep
its my third spark, should it go to neck? i see a lot of people with bracer
oh then it doesnt matter, just a low lvl item you can replace
ok
when he gets the mace? you are suppose to kite him, not face tank him
i feel like there arent that many well statted necks tho
the sikran one seems to be the only good one
you wanna use SW for the flurry tank hit and kite the mace
Hmmm, I know I'm supposed to run, I was just testing and got confused because of the huge difference with and without SW, I'll just run from now on
difference between 91% DR and 97% DR when he hits for 140m is way more than your HP
not surprising
Iām surprised that there are more bears than warriors right now for the top IO tanks, I donāt see how they are surviving vs how sturdy warrior is
If you are doing 2x duskthread lining then it doesnt work on jewelry or weap and youll want maybe bracers/belt/boots as 3rd craft
I crafted shield, thinking of the 2 between neck, wep and shoulder. Pls say which 2 for m+
Shield > weap > bracers/belt imo
I want shoulder as it is highest budget and worst tier piece
Long term its wrist/belt because lowest budget and you want to fill reat with 639 from vault/raid
how good is this? would you take a heroic track item of this?
thats 1 ignore pain
No stam
so its bad?
cool thanks
let me solo him completed finally mauahahahah
Thank god they nerfed him
yeah I wont lie does feel kinda tarnished after the nerfs but still happy i did it and def still a little challenging especially since they hotfixed the reflect situation
The reflect fix pisses me off so much, everytime i wanna try something they nerf it day before xd
yeah its a deflect now i think
anyone got any tips on how to deal with anima slash in mists?
hero
Yugioh is cursed af now.
The paper tournament players I know are not ok. Itās turning into the average mortgage payment for new decks.
True... crazy how it changes. Previously you still can go for lot more turns, some twist. Now usually turn 1-2-3-4 and usually match end.
not to mention that 1 turn can last giga long because you busy doing your combo playing solitaire
If you see your second turn, while going second is rare.
well I was trying being generous there
My first game at a regional, I lost and didnāt play a card. This was like 6 months ago.
noooooo mirror force
It's slightly unfair of a comparison, since turns in older Yugioh didn't have even a tenth of the interaction potential. The mere existence of hand traps drastically changes how turn economy works
i hate this game !!! ( as well )
They need to ban/limit hand trapsā¦
Itās just go card for card on interaction, slam 1 card combo start.
Trust me when I say you do not fucking want that
That's how you get some real degenerate shit to rock
Speaking as someone who did rock some of the real degenerate shit
Would force people to play less then 22 Hand Traps in a 40 card deck,
@pallid quiver You also forgot about 10 special summons or more per turn XD
Older YGO probably Normal Summon, Special Summon 1, Special Summon 2, then Special 3 (Can be Synchro or fusion) then set some trap maybe and one. Right now? let's keep special summoning as much as possible in 1 turn
Iād rather play the game, into the most stupid shit, then what it is currently where you just donāt get to play.
i play dork magician
š«”
No, because you wouldn't play the game
Speaking as someone who's actively played FTK decks, you'd lose on RPS
Ara Kra +8, do i have to go in the Pudlle on the last Boss ?
Thereās a FTK deck rn thatās topping eventsā¦.
of course you should go to puddle
Yeah the suck will fuck you up
FTK doesnt really exist in this but sort of it does
just play it save
k, thx
its more like, whoever gets the monter out to attack
Gimmick Puppet is a fun deck, FTKs their first turn consistently
Is there an addon that tells me exactly what nodes in the proffesion tree attribute to specific crafts?
For example on my LW i am looking to maximize proffesion items crafts but i dont know what i can still put points in to give + skills
Hey - new to prot and tanking in general. Is it a fucking terrible idea to bind ignore pain / shield block to scroll wheel?
yes
I mean if you are very good at controlling your scroll wheel so you don't overspam, you could, but
I wager that's not what you're looking for
The amount of cursed Keybind setups Iāve seenā¦.Id almost rather not know what you get up to.
And shield block you don't press often at all, so that one's flat out a no
Maybe Shield Slam? Iām scared of mousewheel keybinds tbh
Whatās your non cursed keybinds? Genuinely curious
I just use numbers/Top Row and Shift Mod.
Some people I know put kick on mouse wheel, easy to hit fast and has a cd so multipressing doesnāt matter
But idk mousewheel binds feel weird to me
Iāve known people that put DPS cooldowns and Push to talk on the same button.
Or putting every BM Hunter button on an MMO mouse and WASD moving.
I hate pugging 10s
Donāt do it then
I think they make it simpler on the TWW since they weigh more on the material you use. Put it simple if you want to max craft leather wrist just go max on the wrist and the node which need to open the wrist and you will be good.
how important is ver for doing 11s-12s vs small dmg loss from crit? in crafted items
I have 5% vers and doing 11/12's
Ignore pain would be fine since it has a 1 second cd but shield block is a no go.
I have 7 and even if i swaped most items i would get like 10% extra , thats 5% dr ,idk if that means anything to you
alt +2s are another world
Ive used charge on mousewheel up for as long as I can remember and mousewheel down is ravager.
Even use shift modifers to get 4 scrolls
Its a really good bind imo
it isnt
you equip whatever sims best
think m2s are doable at 565 item level?
Yep
This is a really noob question, but what is extending the duration of my shield block?
I'm fairly new to warrior but I still can't figure it out
Never wanted to play wow more in my life rn but never had less time to play it ever in my life. I feel cursed š¦
heavy repercussions talent
It's a good time to read your talent tree then š
yes but might not be puggable
doesnāt matter
you know, i think i stopped reading after the generates more rage lmao
or I'm just bad at vdh
I mean that is make sense txr, if he had a static still doable for sure, but for pug setting they will want to get ppl with higher ilvl, around 580 maybe?
I just had an arms war spamming at me because I was HITTING nw's 3rd boss abomination
he just stood on the side spamming in chat that we shouldn't hit him
wow is a game that at end game issues are more skill issues rather than gear issues
more for tanking
theres a balance
you want the abom to die immediately after he hooks the boss when he retreats
he wasnt hitting them
Choco is right, 2 abom is recipe for disaster
its weird because wow isnt a hard game
its pretty easy to perform at 90%
I have the shield from queen heroic, item lv 626. would you craft a shield over bracers for example which statwise would be a MUCH bigger upgrade?
yes
block is your best stat getting a hihger ilvl shield is your biggest upgrade you can get
Guess ill play another day xD
I think without but, why the hype is... maybe because it was listed BiS on icy and wowhead so ppl just be "craft it" and no longer think about it
all those bracers/cloak crafting are looking like 3 month long term plan
Should i get beledar 636 or defender?
Just craft whatever gives you your biggest upgrade while considering your tier slots and your mythic raid options
defender
beledar is trash
its bc its the lowest power piece
My mythic raid options is zero. cant seem to find a guild at all
so when full myth gear comes
so what
thats the idea
I want to play now not in 2 months
i think everyone is/should be crafting mainhand offhand then wrists or cloak
with heroic crest from ansurek kill
ill craft shield first then, bracers next
shield weapon then bracers
spending 33k gold (or 60k if ordering from scammers) for a shitty slot doesnt look good honestly
especially since wrists are crafted without a socket
what's the value of a socket for pwar now? 5ilvl? 10?
its just the most efficient since your 2nd embellishment is usually a heroic crest craft
so its gonna be shit ilvl anyways
You get hero track socketed wrists
While wrists are low value themselves they have a potentially high value because of a socket
from what
or hypothetical
i made cloak personally
but if you ever take a spark from vault you can get it on your crafted bracers
which you probably shouldve done week 1
m+, raid
Ill stop arguing sorry i just had like 7 energy drinks today
you make a good point
issue with cloak though is if you get rashanan cloak
esp on mythic
so manymant free upgrades
mine was like 606 though so i had to lol
rash cloak eh, I just hope it will appear later on vault since I lost it this week on roll
if it dropped on reclear i wouldve gotten it by default
bc such a big upgrade
didnt drop tho
same with sikran neck
its alright tho i got like 4 myth pieces regardless
I am specifically looking for ways to improve professional equipment on all of my charactes
But it's so insanely difficult to make out what contributes skills and what not
LW and Tailoring only have like 1 30 point talent for that
But putting points into Robes/Hats on tailoring also gives skill for gardening hats and stuff
It's fucking ridiculous how user unfriendly it is
same stats just affects crafting difficulty
tysm @tribal burrow
+5 skill added instead of +25 or 50 (not sure r1)
so, what that means
nah im talking abnotu the actual versatility
is the player making it, needs less skill/rng
not sure then, put it on your action bar and note if it changes to another stat or not
so you can monitor it easily i mean
if you want to be garunteed vers always, you want uh duskweave lining
and dawnweave lining for always crit
Embellishment quality only affects the difficulty of the craft. The stats or damage or whatever it grants doesn't change.
so, i might have defender learned by default to craft as BS
lets say i have 100 points in BS but i put them all into creating polearms
Hey guys, since shield block gives us 100% block chance, do we recieve any benefits from overcapping our block? Cuz after i use shield block it becomes 150%
i can only reliably create polearms, and so i would be more likely to hit a rank 2-4 crafting you a shield, until i got 30 points in shield crafting
No
so it is a mixture of both prof skill and prof knowledge points
also, the quality of the material, in this case bars, rank 3 have a slightly higher chance when added to be rank higher,
or it adds more skill on craft
if you go find someone with 30 shield 100 points, all armor knowledge, he will craft in rank 5 99% of time
just didnt time a key cuz no one interrupted
Interrupts are for prot Palis and nerds
tell them it is a dps increase because they wont die if they dont get face fireballed
just sucks lol
people standing there dpsing and get bolted to the face and die
and was one of those runs where literally 15 seconds we would of timed it lol
how much haste u guys think its good for into the fray?
40% huh then we probably itf in late S2/early S3?
Dps are incapable of thought. They refuse kick or they dont let you get mobs. Like the dh in the gb i just did by the time i finish charge animation he has already immo fel rushed and now has half the pack on him and now i have to stop and fight that pack rather then pulling bigger which woukd have enabled him to do more dps
eyebeam > aggro > deadge has been a played out dps dh meme even since bfa keys
dh's were also more angry back in those days, equivilance to todays shamans and monks
I was a havoc main all through bfa, the one expansion i didnt tank even once. But i rarely got aggro because i did this thing called wait foe the tank
Fel Hammer moderation really made DHs lose the rep
A secret dps hack
no, it really was the brain dead DH stereo types that did that
they did it on frame perfect pull
and then aggro die
I only pull agro with Fury Bladestorm rn.
Wait 4 secs into a pull, warn tank in discord call Iām popping CDs, pop cds, get agro and die
well, bey blade has similiar aggro effects
My pala frend who tanks when We play put bubble on me when Im playing fury 
but they can at least pop dbts
200iq pre move
I wish lmao
Hahaha
good news, almost all dk's run hands
(I almost exclusively get in runs with Brew and Veng. Idk why, we have 1 BDK in guild)
if i ever figure out how i am transmogging my bdk to be eviterno
wish granted you get the rando pug dk who never DnD's and spams marrowrend
what about craft normal feet?
i feel like i might like to craft those with 3rd spark
or cloak
Hey guys! Been getting better at tanking slowly, new to wow (just got keystone master yay) but my DPS is quite frankly pathetic
Similarly geared tanks are doing 100k more than me in raids for example, any way for me to figure out where I'm messing up?
Logs are generally the go to, but it's generally not pressing SS when it's off CD, wasting rage, and sending outbursts on TC instead of SS/TB
I know this is a stupid question as it will have been covered a million times- but can you sim for defensiveness? Canāt decide on stats on my 2 crafted items - Damage shows Haste/ Crit
Nope; you would require an entirely different sim for every form of damage profile in the game
Damage is is then
That being said, they're all close enough defensively that it doesn't matter too much
secondary stat for crafting items, haste + ? - mythic + content
Absolutely Based, ty
booo mastery boy
greetings from critical land
haha fury gamer
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/m37DaxPfQsfUC2XNF4H1D1 Am i doing everything right? it feels weird replacing sacbrood with a shitty delve trinket
590 vs 603 and that delve trinket isn't the worst
hey guys, hows the gap between +9 & +10 keys? Defensively I mean, like can I do the same pulls or do I have to be a bit more cautious ? Like first NW pull
no exsistant
no diff just the basic scaling every +1 key
adds Tyr or Fort depending on the week
I've found 8-10 all feel pretty similar. Slow and steady. Take your time and as long as you don't wipe doing it this way you'll time it pretty much everytime. Safety sometimes is worth more then the big daddy pulls in PUGs.
In organized groups I'm doing big daddy pulls though.
the only 'real' difference is going from 11's to 12's
So im doing 500k in +8-+10s and it feels like im doing something wrong im hitting TC basically on CD but my SS still ends up being a huge portion of my damage, but when I look at other tanks its not the same
I feel like when I look at other warriors they are doing 600-700k+ pretty easily not sure what im messing up
You can revenge on proc or if you cap rage
Its big in aoe
How many casts do you have on revenge?
I mean im Main spec Fury but already tanken 2-3 7-8
Yeah thane doesnāt have much room to revenge but that still looks low
And i play th. Roar not spear.
spear currently sims for better damage and gives a lil rage
not gonna be a massive diff though
Hm, gonna try spear next key i tank.
And the one who Charge or jump are cc immune most of the time
so do i give up 1 armored to the teeth for 1 cruel strikes?
and get roar compared to spear
or just get both cruel strikes instead of armored to the teeth
ss is always a priority above tc
unless you're getting aggro
its always fortified this week so there will be no difference
and first boss nw does literally ZERO damage with pwar in party so pulling him with trash is no problem also
In cot first boss, can people with orbs stack on eachother or will it kill em?
is a 636 neck a better craft than 636 bracers?, i have 606 in neck and bracers at the moment
and i dont raid, so the only neck i have access to is haste mastery
o/ do people have any handy spell reflect WA's?
sim it
for damage?
yep
i was thinking of survivability
im not sure i can sim it, as the neck would also be able to have gems slotted in
Thank you all š
there should be templates to sim crafts google of look up in discords
thanks ,never heard of that before, but ill see what i can find
when you copypaste simc in raidbots it has all your items in that text
there's an option in droptimizer window on raidbots now
For Weapon Enchant should we just go off the sim, or is there a big reason to stick to Deeps?
disrupting shout kinda owns actually
I actually got told today that we now have a short aoe tremor
we do!
its 10 yeard range tho so boo
12 yeah
i wish we had less shield slam procs but each proc gave more rage
okay that might be a dumb thing to say
it is, due to anger mastery
i just feel like sometimes im spamming tclap/shield slam so much
its kinda annoying
anjger mastery makes us very happy tanks
thats what we do
we hit alot of ss and clap, especially as thane
maybe my keybinds are bad
what 1h/shield combos are you guys using to transmog w/ the tier set
Yeah just pull then in sync, or sync the cast with a stun š
dungeon is perfect for us, tons of reflect and simple melee mobs
Why Yoda and Dorki go Haste Verse on crafts
instead of haste crit
are we the dumb or them
If you are in all crit gear with super low vers then vers will probably sim higher for you.
They do it for ādefensive purposesā though as itās more reliable than parry.
Their reasoning is probably suspect, considering how much value prot war gains from a lot of haste crit atm, but it's not a really major thing; the large majority of defensive ability comes from play, and they're both very good at playing the M+ game
They could take an entirely new tank spec to title based on what I know and have seen without much fuss
They really just have better things to do than fuss over minute details on stats
Anyone know how i can stop plater from showing both rent and thunderclap debuff on target frame?
Blacklist it under buffs
Assuming you mean on the nameplates not target unit frames
@sullen wadi
type in the name of the spell you want to never want to see again, and if it doesnt work do some digging on mdt or wowhead and try to find the spell id, that will be like a ~8 ish digit string of numbers
can someone that runs 7+ and up keys answer a couple questions for me?
Yes?
what is other debuffs that i should filter
now that i have this open, punish? not sure on that
Anything you see now you donāt want to see
thats the thing, i ignore that shit, so, i dunno which they would be, taunt i know i need to have
Can someone write me a suf extensions that makes debuff settings morw flexible
I dont want to learn to code
thanks, ill try again, couldnt get thunderclap to work, perhaps i had the wrong spell id for the debuff,
i msged u to not clutter chat
im tempted to not drop intervene but take storm bolts for keys, i dont use intervene all that often except for mechanics or to save time running
Type thunderclap under āadd debuff to blacklistā and click on the ānameā button
i would do that if i dropped tauren (both, both have a stun like effect)
to compensate for not having cow stomp
Play both?
this one
storm bolt is basically favorite ability in game, would prefer it be like wc3, does mega dmg
wc3 stormbolt = night night
the standard build for keys has ravager
BSV is cope imo
never ever once took it ever
Yoooooo - wax plating - the 25K damage reduction trinket - worth any wieght in M+?
junk
only store in bags to boost ilvl
yeah
Just noticed at the moment almost all of the top 10 ranked warriors have taken BSV over Ravager and was trying to figure out if thats the move for keys where you feel like you're in danger of dying
oh, top keys, 11 and above
than ya, total different game
cuz, its, like if you played baseball game to a science
You can buy 4 health potions by vendoring it
like i said, i would only equip it over a green or blue trinket
im saying purple cuz i think it drops from delve
Is there defensive value to be gained by going into the fray over heavy repurcussions or is it mostly just for damage?
(im currently at 23% haste)
nope
no, about hr itf
u loose value
you lose with itf
as u loose block uptime
im 28% haste but i have bad boots and cloak
tried HR a bit and i feel so slow in packs without the haste buff..
Is there a haste threshold where we can keep shield block up 100% without HR?
oof
Should be less with m+ haste affix
no affix in 12 š¤Ŗ
in a dungeon like necrotic wake do you think its worth dropping ravager for disrupting shout?
no
ui drop bloodsurge
for dsirupting shout
if u need it
nothing else
u loose far to much value otherwise
the thing i have issue with storm shield is that it seems like a pretty small bubble, 3 x 145k armor only equals 450k absorb and thats on a 30s cd
it doesnt feel worth
never thought of that. I rarely ever feel like im low on rage but i do often wish i had another button to interrupt spells with
that fucking huge value
ive felt the same but its better than nothing
it doesnt feel like it to me but okay, im not sure, i mean it is what im using
Why would you want disrupting in wake
Its the only dungeon that has aoe interrupt included in it
Ive definitely saved many people with that intervene+stormshield
ive also dont it stupidly and screwed up positioning by doing it reflexively though
done*
well, i suppose i have to consider it can block
for a very long time, just ask jakey, i wasnt even aware shield block was a button
im only half joking but what im saying is i DEFINITELY learned about keeping block up and blocking MORE things
hey friendly friends! so i have a log uploaded how do i go about knowing how much rage i wasted and that sort of thing?
so, i'm still only learned to block things targeting me
i assume that i have to be properly aligned to do the intervene block thing
i might do another one
that one is fairly out dated at this point
if ppl will find it helpful
Anyone done Zekvir ?? As prot ~610 ilvl?
would love that tbh!
but i already learned a couple of nice things
so much appreciated king!
ye
the eggs hafta die is the only challenging thing about it. may want to juice your weapon's ilvl if you can
ya im having way more luck on it as fury
bad rng as prot means you canāt kill the eggs fast enough
hey all i was just starting my warr and was tryig to find what i should craft but wow head is giving 2 diff answers any suggestion
Is it post or pre reflect nerf tho?
after
went back and did it at 545 ilvl after reflect change, very simple as long as you stay on top of adds
What is the weakaura that auto solves mists route after the first two rooms
How tf u kill eggs in time with that ? Ive had multiple runs where he would cast frontals on me perma ten step on egg and do fear
well u have time to wait all that out now
can bait the frontals / fear as well
And just save CDs for eggs
I've actually seen multiple people ask about how to read their own logs recently, so it might actually be pretty useful to people. I'm too lazy to do something like that, but it'd be nice to be able to point people to where to see things like block uptime and outburst usage, which isn't the most intuitive if you aren't familiar with how to process logs
I'm sure there's some things I should be looking at that I'm not looking at to improve
Considering how few DPS actually use their personal defensives and/or health potions to not die in mid-level M+ keys i've certainly saved a few people with intervene. At higher level keys it could still come in useful to save people on things like the corrupt casts in GB.
how are prots feeling pugs? do you get invited or frequently declined in favor of more meta tanks? (only m+)
(I want to gear a tank, I find warrior the most fun but bear feels like it has much more important utility and as such pug appeal)
ive had no trouble getting invited as prot but I do have 2.3k rio
and sometimes in lower keys (4-7 ish) people take meta even more into consideration
but for 9s-10s ive had no issue
Making the group as a tank is also not bad, DPS will join just for the tank a lot of the time.
guys how u manage gutter in boralus?
they instantly hit hard + debuff haste
very hard to manage the first pack, 5 gutter dashing on me instantly
SB + SW don't avoid me to fall at 10% hp
you need to burst as opener because youll have a hard time getting GCDs off with the haste debuff
big dam as opener
then just cruise
the shredder's tooth breaker is blockable so make sure you dont get butt hit (as with anything)
it shouldnt kill you, if youre taking too much damage youre likely not blocking their stuff
Strange question, but is there a way to remove the character's constant yelling when spamming IP? It drives me nuts lol
yeah idk what i did wrong but just go os in 12
got*
atomic recalirbator into mechagnome for blackboard scratching yells š
hard to say without logs
haven't played with sounds on for over 15 years
š¤£
But I like the sound of thunderblast š
That is horrifying lmao
honestly idk why blizzard hasnt added a split character sound effect bar
True
Is intimidating shout kinda worthless if my main struggle is packs with lots of casters that need to be locked down?
Would it be better to take stormbolt?
They added an option to remove error speech. Like just make a slider for character volume
wdym, you take both
Ive been using shout and shockwave but not stormbolt
Was using the wowhead m+ build up to +7s but looking to tweak now
Thanks brother i appreciate it. Was just watching a vid yodatv put out but i dont think i need to be dipping so hard into damage as he recommends when im just breaching +8s
Okay that looks pretty good. What is the appropriate use case for intimidating shout? Ive been using it as an aoe interrupt to cancel spells when I have nothing else up, but i dont know if thats a waste tbh since they just cast again right after it gets broken
its just an additional stop
haven't had any problems yet running without Intimidating personally
don't think you need it in 10s and below personally
yeah its just a bonus talent
also imo
stops arent as hard required as they were on DF
lose the 1 in cruel strikes to take 1 in Endurance
cause ya
casters
in the instance we're talking about
Nim my mental is dying
Yeah i guess thsg makes sense, can drop the second node after shockwave that reduces its cooldown because im grabbing stormbolt instead, then drop cruel strikes for intimidating shout
depends what keys you're dying in too ig
hey, does haste work in decimal values? like the 200 haste or whatever i get from my food doesn't bring me up a %, should i just use stam/strength food, or no?
and then are you rotating CDs as well
The ones i come close to death seem to be certsin packs in necrotic wake, and grim batol if we dont have good stops
Rotating all my defensives and stops
Im pugging mostly so overlapping kicks hurts
Im usually top of interrupts by a decent number
But thats probly cause we overlap and im sitting on the priority target to kick all the time
you should be using primary stat food always up until later in the exp
halfway through the exp, is when we potentially switch
if not last season
I mean what + but ya the spell caster stuff makes sense ig
cause ya, need interrupts
dont worry i still dont have it either
Mostly 7s right now. Breezed through siege and mists and ara kara, but necrotic wake +7 was a bit rough. Timed it but i didnt feel sturdy on some of the pulls at all, came close to death. I may need to better utilize spellblock there
I spell reflect often but probably dont spell block often enough
necrotic bolt will fuck you up
ya would need to see a log to know ig
so yeah spell block and SR
I'm surprised 7s are a struggle
and pray for kicks
Ill grab when im back at my desk, i think i had logs running for that run

Every one except NW was easy so far even pugging
Ya fair
Its possible i was pulling shitty combos of packs too
Should we just entirely avoid those dudes that do the massive unavoidable group damage?
there's 2 routes I've seen that are good
It was nerfed but still seems to take healers by surprise
this one avoids Gatekeepers (bit more pug friendly imo)
this one if you're video gaming, BIG opener pull with lust and need to do the axes properly to chunk the gatekeeper
Ive done something similar to the second one before but i was the only one alive by the end of it
gatekeepers feel like the scariest part of NW
So moved to avoiding gatekeepers
gatekeepers are def not pug friendly imo
besides if your group doesnt kill stichflesh creations
then those things get out of hand fast
Feels like i need a macro if im gonna pull gatekeepers
/shout USE DEFENSIVES THIS IS GONNA HURT
I just picked up warrior this season, was a prot paladin for DF S4
so any tips are welcome
Did i drop a lot in combat? I thought I was keeping it up but I never even thought to check this log
you died to a puddle but
Yeah that one i knew about
you took a big 800k unblocked hit before it
I called myself out for it to the group
Im usually pretty good about dodging ground mechanics but I didnt even see that one drop
check the shield block icon
how do I get to the view you're looking at?
im gunna have to start making my own routes :S
you're at like 85%
for physical blocks
Any way to differentiate hits I didnt block because I didnt have it up, versus because I had my back turned?
ignore pain casts is maybe low too? I'm comparing to my last NW and I'm at 100 more casts
in case im doing that?
Ah I see, I was mistaking defensive stance icon for shield block thats why it was confusing me
Ya ignore pain I feel is low too which maybe isn't helping
I don't think I'm great at it and I'm at 89% uptime
you're at 77%
Alright so tip one is just make sure to be 100% on top of my regular active mitigation
and obv not spending the rage means less indom healing too
for sure, more block uptime
the fact i let it drop without realizing for so long tells me I need to make me weakaura reminder bigger
I have a custom one i built
I wonder if i was pressing revenge too much
and rage starving myself
Probably
i dont remember feeling rage starved though
for ignore pain usage just look at rage resource
Press revenge in free globals if rage allows
and look at wasted rage
i pretty much only hit revenge if I have shield block and IP up, IP is at max amount, or when the free revenge procs but i dont have a thunderblast ready to go
shield slam APM is also low
Shield slam has prio
dont do this
hit IP
not revenge
press IP regardless of if its up or not
Everything else is more important
I don't think he's over using revenge when I compare anyway, like I have more Revenge casts even
hes not
but like this is the rage gain that Nim suggested
I should clarify, i only press revenge without free proc if i have thunderclap and shield slam on cooldown and nothing stronger to press
it looks adequate, but SS APM is low so
He is if heās not pressing shield slam over it
or at least i try to

that's you
ok, so still only press revenge if i literally have nothing else to press
even if the proc is there
?
correct
understood
You basically only care about revenge to reset shield slam
and effectively not burning as much rage with IP as you should be
and thus no cycling walls/avatars with AM and outbursts
no idea if this is good or bad, but mine for comparison
so think you're wasting a lot of rage when you should be IP'ing
am i maybe clapping too much when i should be slamming? if im somehow not hitting slam as much as I should
Speaking of log reviews I should go get roasted in the monk discord for my brew play in the last couple keys
nah
youre good
Shield slam should be top prio (although in fairness I donāt know how thane changes this)
So
Take this with a grain of salt
TB > SS
There you go
TB > SS > TC > Execute/Revenge
just trying to figure out what im pressing thats getting in the way of my shield slams, cause in my mind im prioritizing TB > SS > TC for globals
yeah ^ what you said
and then obviously cooldowns when appropriate
ravager, champions spear, shockwave, etc
shield charge
how can i increase shield slam APM if i'm doing the prio correctly already?
maybe my talents and stats are not optimal for that?
I was running the wowhead build for that run last night
(which ill be changing now as we discussed earlier)
Could just be dropping globals
it's very spammy for sure
depressed myself when I just looked at this, wondered if I'm doing okay, had a look at Dorki's rage wasted vs mine
I'll never go to the MDI it seems
Is cruel strikes really a good place to spend that last point or could I get more value with something else?
hello, is there a google doc for all reflect able and blockable stuffs in dungeons like the dragonflight one?

#protection-faq 3rd link
yeah
Sounds good
i swear to god the trash before the first boss CoT is like, a litmus test for pugs
you'll know if its evne worth playing the key out before u get to the boss based on how many people refuse to interrupt
+12 SOB is just 1 shot on 1 shot
9s and 10s are so fucking hard, i am stressing every second of every dungeon lol
whats you ilvl?
611
I feel like a have a solid grasp of the class, and then ive got mobs meleeing me for 2m each through ignore pain and SB in mists
you sure you are facing the mobs or you are not talking about the anima slash hit/debuff?
logs are you best friend for knowing why something happens
these are melee hits on a +12 in the maze
is there a reason for me to not bind ravenger and spear onto one macro? like do i need to use em one by one in some scenarios?
both are on the gcd so would have to do a cast sequence
but generaly im using them together rightt
yep
hmm okey thanks sir
Because thatās silly
You might want to use ravager but donāt need to use spear yet because spear wouldnāt hit everything
Maybe youāre utilizing ravager to start a pull before you charge
Maybe you want to hold spear a second or two to keep something from leaping away
i'm weighing my options. how much of a dps increase is ITF? i'm aware we don't have the haste just yet for good shield block uptime, but i feel like i might be able to play around it
keystones in a nutshell: heaven or hell
Not enough to warrant using it at the moment
no inbetween
aye i know we need 35% baseline
i'm just wondering what i can do for a bit more damage
well, im glad to know im not the only one having total shit dungeon lol
i run itf and get plenty of shield block uptime
im gunna probably peace out fast for this patch, its nasty in keys right now
whats more dps upgrading 1hander or my shield? new to prot and could not really find this on wowhead
