SV cloak dropped, but not for me

#

some dude in blues

#

i think thats the best one we can get from keys

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

ive been farming it

#

Just craft a cloak

#

Lowest stat budget

#

Easy craft

lusty grotto
#

its an option

#

but my gilded are reserved

rough wyvern
#

Is there any reason at all to buy Scout's March enchant for boots rather than Plainsrunner's Breeze? Don't the give the exact same?

jagged pier
#

Just use runed for now honestly

#

Use the df one its 50 stat less and like 300g

rough wyvern
#

Ye exactly..

tribal wharf
#

i mean hell, i could just craft a cloak

#

that or boots

#

or weapon

#

i wasnt sure if i should do cloak due to chance of heroic raid cloak from weekly boxes

#

hello! question about demoralizing shout, if i have a big dot from a boss, and i press demo shout, do i get the damage reduction ? or i need to press it before the boss puts the dot on me

lusty grotto
#

you do

#

its dynamic

#

not snapshot

main walrus
#

nice, thank you

lusty grotto
#

it'll work as soon as its pressed, mid-dot

What affects our DPS most as protection warriors? In 9s and 10s I can't seem to parse better than 50-80th percentile. Am I pulling too small? Or am I pulling too big and having to dump too much into defense? Should I be ignoring shield slam in favor of revenge in big pulls?

violet ginkgo
#

Whoa whoa no ignoring SS plz

#

Not again

urban portal
#

Press ignore pain more

#

Don’t overcap rage

#

Parsing in m+ isn’t real

regal yarrow
#

I mean it's still telling me I'm doing less damage than other protection warriors in the same key level. It's good to know.

regal yarrow
#

Yeah I'm thane

lusty grotto
#

why are you using revenge

#

or worried about it

#

link a log

regal yarrow
#

Nothing else to press. I use it when I don't have thunder clap or shield slam and have already spent rage on ignore pain

lusty grotto
#

you press IP

lusty grotto
#

IP is the de-facto rage spender

strong forum
#

feel free to compare

lusty grotto
#

more IPs = faster rage consumed = AM resets avatar

regal yarrow
#

So if shield slam and thunderclap are on cooldown I shouldn't hit revenge between ips?

lusty grotto
#

sure

#

but revenge isnt what is dropping your dps, is my point

#

youre also being compared with Colossus warriors

#

your APM seems fine

#

no piercing challenge in talents, which is a small optmization

#

no ravager

#

youre playing BSV

#

without ravager

#

why are people doing this

strong forum
#

cuz they copy

lusty grotto
#

jesus christ

tribal wharf
#

git gud

regal yarrow
#

Yeah I just hit copy on the top runs

tribal wharf
#

all the top players are using it

#

40% versa or gtfo

#

(reffering to bfa keys corruption)

lusty grotto
#

drop BSV, get ravager

#

if you want BSV

#

you drop Shield Charge and Champ's Bulwark

#

and talent Bolster and BSV

#

and do not be worried about DPS at that point

violet ginkgo
lusty grotto
#

drop bitter immunity and grab piercing challenge

#

drop Defender's Aegis and grab Impenetrable Wall

tribal wharf
#

BI not BIS

#

i dont much like BI

#

sorry

#

i think pure garbage

lusty grotto
#

a large part is your talents, youre copying some dogshit build

tribal wharf
#

why would you take BI

#

you already have tons of DR and healing

#

raid boss that needs it i guess

violet ginkgo
#

But yogi, explain what this shield stampede will do. AoE skills?

tribal wharf
#

TLDR its dragon charge but you arent drunk

lusty grotto
#

your gameplay is not perfect, but its kind of decent, Kengfa, just tweak your talents and dont copy paste without understanding them

tribal wharf
#

DC you weave in and out of traffic and would be pulled over by police for illegal lane change

#

hi guys, is it worth to play thunderous roar instead of speer in m+?

strong forum
#

sure if you make the correct talent choice to get it

#

its not optimal to pick roar but absolutely playable

chilly ermine
#

whats the good or the bad side of playing roar? cause i think its more dmg in aoe then speer?

its not more dmg

unless you play bad as thane

usually happens in at least one dungeon per season/expac

#

and if they do kick they overlap 'em

spell block liquefy

and then you can wall feast

Theoretically could you have all gear have +speed on it and just zoom around the dungeon at light speed?

of course

ever since tertiaries were invented

if youre lucky enough to get all pieces with it

Also he hits like an absolute monster

round cliff
#

healer brann req?

jagged gust
#

Nah, but just watch your damage intake, a single backshot can lead to a quick death

#

anything that removes slow will get rid of the dot he casts, save your kick for the heal

round cliff
#

"anything that removes slow"

#

so avatar and leap

tawdry herald
#

any other slots besides weap/shield worth spark crafting?

lusty grotto
#

leap doesnt remove slows

jagged gust
#

Also literally everything he casts will one shot you, so watch your timers, otherwise you'll aim a frontal cone so large you can't escape as you charge from halfway across the room after charging an egg

ok zekvir on ? is ez

jagged gust
#

yeah it's lfr difficulty

tawdry herald

do we have any build variations for different dungeons/affixes?

Only personal choices for the most part

Haste affix means swapping HR for ITF feels really good

Does anyone know if you can shadowmelt the Rime Dagger in cot?
So that u don’t get the stack frost aoe?

lusty grotto

no idea, but you will drop agro if you do that

so probably not the best idea

jade tartan

We have the best tool available for something like that

you literally would have to insta taunt

Ofc

lusty grotto

we have the best tool

its called spell block

Won’t have spell block for both sets up

at what haste % do we swap to itf?

Still does dmg and still is an interesting thing to be able to pull of, no?

lusty grotto

of course

hearty stump
lusty grotto
#

no

#

with BSV yes

jade tartan
#

Dawnbreaker scnd boss the tank slam is shadowmelt able. And he doesn’t recast

So it’s huge for the one overlap

hearty stump
#

But basically don't touch itf before 35?

lusty grotto
#

not recommended no

hearty stump
#

I just tried it with 23% haste and the shieldblock downtime definitely felt noticable.

#

So pretty risky ig

#

What about Bloodsurge v Disrupting shout?

lusty grotto
#

you pick what you need

hearty stump
#

Bloodsurge for just overall more rage generation + more ips over control?

not by a whole lot but yes

I presume if you want to run BSV you kinda have to drop Enduring Alacrity? BSV just seems like a pretty safe talent. Is it worth swapping the two?

no

you swap

shield charge

#

the entire node

for bolster and BSV

Damn. Sounds like a pretty big swap.

#

Alright, reckon I'll just stick to the same old.

shield charge is the least consequential part you can drop to get bsv

i'd drop ravager for it tbh

Hey guys I am playing prot warrior for the first time and the consensus seems to be to not even bind slam, this makes sense in aoe as revenge is multi target but in pure single target fights why don't we use slam over revenge? Slam hits the target for 131,270 according to the tooltip and revenge for 84,323 so in pure single target situations why aren't we using slam? What am I missing here?

merry sluice
#

revenge is essentially filler you'll press nearly any button in your kit over it

compact pilot
#

I get that but in pure single target shouldnt the filler be slam instead?

merry sluice
#

no, you'll use revenge as filler to fish for shield slam resets.
you want as much shield slam out as possible, especially in st

sand pebble
merry sluice
#

and also that yes we want to maximize spending rage
Ignore pain is off the global cool down, so that is the best way to prevent us from capping on maximum rage since we don't delay casting anything in the process

Where as revenge serves as filler far better than slam, since it can reset one of our best ways to build rage (and for HR also help maintain our active mitigation)

compact pilot
#

Ahh okay that makes sense, i wasnt aware that revenge had a chance to reset shield slam I thought that was just autos

and i set him to healer these days, im 610 now, but i was 602, t8s with brann healer was good, but tier 9s was rough

since you are 578 you will snowball in ilvl till like 600 after getting some 584+s and champions

Weird things happening this week

Hey I’ve read the guide and played a little bit and what really confuses me is what your filler spell is when all your rage generators are on cd and you don’t have enough rage to spend or you are forced to spend it on ignore pain which doesn’t even have a gcd. Do you literally just never run out of rage even in single target or what

jagged gust
#

A guildie of mine who generally parses 0-5 got invited to a full clear and the group one shot the entire raid on heroic, meanwhile this guy thought it was normal the entire time

warm plinth
cobalt wagon
#

All the spells that don’t cost rage have cds though right? What’s the filler spell that costs no rage

warm plinth
#

There can be small periods of rage starvation outside of cooldowns on single target if you overspend on Ignore Pain

#

They have cooldowns, but short ones

restive plaza
#

can you still clear tents on last boss in grim batol with spell reflect?

toxic pewter
#

The better question is why you are out of rage

glacial eagle
#

90% of my shield slams reset shield slam cd. how are you out of rage

warm plinth
#

And Shield Slam gets reset frequently through auto attacks and the usage of every other rotational ability except IP

#

Well, it's not Shield Slam resetting it; that's impossible.

cobalt wagon
#

I said earlier I’m sure proper gameplay means you don’t have rage problems . I have less than 2 hours played on prot but having these awkward gaps where I’m not even clicking anything in single target just waiting on one of my rage generators to come off cd. I’m level 70 with no hero talents as well

warm plinth
#

Proper gameplay does mean you don't have rage problems

well the issue is ur lvl 70 xd

Sometimes I don't understand prot warriors lol, everyone in the discord is saying drop sc + buff and then take BSV and bolster, but on WCL a very small amount of people are doing that and instead opting to get rid of ravager for BSV... I feel like we need 1 more talent point or something just to appease everyone

toxic pewter
#

wat who’s saying to drop sc

shrewd ore
#

ur not dropping sc ever since ur running itf, ur dropping ravager

for bsv

#

Oh to get BSV yeah prob drop sc

warm plinth

They're saying you CAN do that to run BSV

turbid shuttle
#

if you're going to get bsv, that is the way they say to do it

warm plinth

It's not a recommendation

shrewd ore
#

u should run bsv in high keys so if ur doing 11s+

warm plinth

No, you shouldn't; it's completely unnecessary

I haven't tried BSV yet and I'm in the 10-11 key range. It really feels like I've hit a survivability wall that requires me to consider using it

warm plinth
#

So let me make sure I'm understanding you here.

shrewd ore
#

there's a reason basically everyone doing wf keys is using bsv

warm plinth
#

No seriously, hear me out

torpid merlin
#

I'm listening and very interest 🙂

inland raft
#

That wall is 12+ though because of a massive spike in difficulty

#

10-11 no reason for bsv

shrewd ore
#

key dependent but ya agree

warm plinth
#

You honestly think that the deciding factor between being able to do high keys or not is an 8 second defensive that requires you to fall dangerously low (which prot war doesn't do with proper play). And that extremely dangerous 8 second defensive has a 4% uptime.

torpid merlin
shrewd ore
#

bro no one cares about uptime

#

its about having a fail save where u would die otherwise

#

tank death = key gone

warm plinth
#

Play properly, and you don't die.

shrewd ore
#

thats such a bad take i don't even know xdd

warm plinth
#

The talent isn't enabling high keys with that logic; it's enabling you to fuck up and maybe not die because of it.

shrewd ore
#

exactly

#

and ur losing basically nothing taking it

warm plinth
#

That does not make it required for high keys.

shrewd ore
#

no one said that it's req

#

i said most are using it

warm plinth
#

You are saying you should run it, which is the same thing in WoW terms.

warm plinth
shrewd ore
#

Yea, should

#

not must

warm plinth
#

Now you're just arguing semantics. If you're gonna say something dumb, at least stick to your convictions.

shrewd ore
#

ur doing the same thing

warm plinth
#

Lol, when you come into a class discord and you say "you should run x" and people read that, they do not read it as "most are using it"

#

You just said that "play properly and you don't die" is a bad take so idk why I'm even entertaining this conversation anymore.

shrewd ore
#

I mean have you never made a mistake?

turbid shuttle
#

it is a bad take

#

even the best players in the world make mistakes all the time

shrewd ore
#

the price in keys for that mistake is u dying

#

= bricking the key

#

that talent could prevent that

turbid shuttle
#

lol just never make a mistake. easy peasy.

shrewd ore
#

let me just tell echo to not make mistake

#

should have gotten wf

turbid shuttle
#

or you could have a safety net for the occasional mistake, and give up a small amount of rage and damage for it

warm plinth
#

It takes a very fundamental mistake to die on a prot warrior

turbid shuttle
#

says the 2k io rando

warm plinth
#

It's not just oh I pressed this one wrong global

shrewd ore
#

xd

warm plinth
#

It's oh I didn't press the thing that is core to the entire spec

shrewd ore
#

surely u dont just get completely deleted in a SV +11 15 mob pull if u stay in for 1 sec too long or sth

#

never happens

warm plinth
#

I don't need to be 2900 io to know how to play the spec. Nome and Mwahi write the guides to the spec and neither of them are 2900 io, but we trust them because they've proven that they know what they're talking about. I don't spread misinformation and my time in this server has proven that. You can choose to listen or not listen, but I won't let you spread misinformation if I'm here to call you out on it.

shrewd ore
#

Shit sorry didn't know I'm speaking to the guardian of the server, my bad

torpid merlin
#

Does Defender's Aegis give you more shield wall uptime in a dungeon? I see people running it over Impenetrable Wall and I'm curious if it just equates to having it available for more trash pulls

turbid shuttle
#

"play bsv if you think you might die" is misinformation. lmao...

warm plinth
#

No, it doesn't.

#

That's not what he said. Don't be an idiot.

shrewd ore
turbid shuttle
warm plinth
#

He said and I quote (again) "u should run bsv in high keys so if ur doing 11s+"

shrewd ore
#

well high keys kinda implies that ur in danger of dying no?

torpid merlin
#

Thank you both that makes sense. I can think of a couple dungeon pulls where it would be nice to cast back to back.

#

because none come to mind for at least stonevault

shrewd ore
warm plinth
#

No, why would it be? Think of how that defensive works

turbid shuttle
#

+30% damage taken. just play better. ez pz.

shrewd ore
#

why would it be? lmao did u read the affix

warm plinth
#

You have to go from being fine to suddenly being under 30% with no other alternatives to use

waxen frigate
shrewd ore
#

u need to get baseline tankier + tankier for spikes to have the same survivability as in idk 10s

odd delta
#

a guide said intimidating shout is good for m+. wouldnt it potentially pull nearby mobs though? wondering why it's considered good

inland raft
#

It breaks instantly

#

Its a stop

odd delta
#

ahh gotcha

#

similar to storm bolt?

lusty grotto
#

oh boy, another one of these convos

jagged gust
#

storm bolt is single target, shout is aoe, but yes same purpose, different scales

odd delta
#

cool. saw wowhead's opener suggest taunting during the charge. what would that do?

lusty grotto
#

its good practice

jagged gust
#

good for bosses/prio targets, as many classes will have big burst and sometimes trinkets that do insane instant damage

lusty grotto
#

since the mob will be stuck on you until you set up the opener

#

it helps for pressing gcds that have no immediate threat gain (like demo shout)

jagged gust
#

That being said, there's nothing I'm willing to give up to talent in to it

tepid reef
#

Are +6 and +7 supposed to just be bashing my face in right now at 611?
Like, i rotate through my cds and all that, pulling 2 packs seems to generally require shield wall etc

lusty grotto
#

no, you likely are not maintaining SB

#

logs would help us see what is happening

tepid reef
#

Okay i will focus on shield block a bit more

jagged gust
#

Back hits and not using spell block enough are also some of the regular offenders for spiky damage intake

pallid quiver
sharp gale
#

Finally got curve in pug

smoky anvil
#

Getting better at spell block usage is big. Really helps some shitty pulls.

tepid reef
#

I mostly press it on cd in packs where i see a spell being cast :/ which is... obviously not great

jagged gust
#

it's definitely a start simply using them at all

#

but yeah, if you want to push, you gotta study up on the mobs a bit

sharp gale
#

Like if a specific pack hurts you go on mdt to see what they do

high wyvern
#

is there a reason why all the top rated IO Prot Warrior run cheat death talent while the guide recommend Ravager instead? how do I know when to use which talent

tepid reef
#

Cheat death = saved two minutes on your key because you killed the pack instead of wiping

#

cheat death is very very very good

high wyvern
#

hes running a much different build than what I was recommended

Oh no ravager AT ALL, thought you mean the follow up talent.

that may help you make a choice

lusty grotto

i dont run BSV

tepid reef
#

huh, im dropping ravager then lol

lusty grotto
#

its not needed

lusty grotto
odd delta
#

i dropped ravager cause im new at tanking, rather have the safety

lusty grotto
#

drop Shield Charge and Champions

high wyvern
#

so both ravager and BSV are good? just personal preference?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

BSV isnt needed

#

unless if youre very inexperienced

high wyvern
#

how about this I also saw some prot warr running this

lusty grotto
#

drop bloodsurge for that

sharp gale

#

how much haste before we switch to into the fray?

so i guess either ur new or running very very high key, then run BSV. But ur weekly 9s 10s probs dont need BSV?

odd delta

why is ravager considered so important?

lusty grotto

rage intake

more rage = more spending = more AM resets and outburst

ah i see

high wyvern
#

is it the same argument between cheat death trinket vs dps trinket for tanks last expansion?

lusty grotto
#

eh

red otter
lusty grotto
#

its kinda different i suppose

high wyvern
#

people kept telling me if u played well u should never need a cheat death talent / trinket

torpid merlin

Nim, any thoughts on why Yoda is running thunderous roar instead of spear?

high wyvern

but i do be making mistakes sometimes keks

If you go from 31% HP to 0, you still die

red otter
#

And like you see people like that on these class discords but I feel that good cheat death trinkets are keysavers.

#

But really your choice

high wyvern
#

ye if a dps die its w/e, if a tank die the key probs brick most of the time

#

but then i guess if u never proc the talent its kinda a waste

tepid reef
#

It procs all the time because I'm bad :P

red otter
high wyvern
#

same tbh

turbid shuttle
#

if it procs all the time you should probably keep it, and then analyze your keys for when it goes off so you can play better

#

if it never procs then sure it's free to drop

red otter
#

I was playing blood last xpac, and the blood discord was always going off on people for having it but it remained popular among the class regardless.

tepid reef
#

What are the best "tank" trinkets for m+?

high wyvern
#

when i asked if i needed most of the answers were: "just get good u dont need it" 😦

red otter
turbid shuttle
#

this is extremely common in tank discords. "you don't need it", despite all high level players playing it. "yea but you're not playing at their key level". No, I'm also not playing at their skill level so 🤷 . it's mostly gatekeepy nonsense from good-but-not-great players.

sharp gale
high wyvern
#

i take this even tho its not the "optimal" talents but I cant bring myself to trust pugs to interrupt lol

sharp gale
#

I didn’t get the swarmlord in guild raid forgot to change loot spec so I rolled as off-spec lol

turbid shuttle
#

the argument for keeping ravager (to drop sc) is also super weak to me. sc with champ bulwark gives almost the same rage as ravager over time, plus a free revenge and shield block. if you count the implicit rage from those (which tbf doesn't count towards AM etc.), it gives more.

rocky kraken
tepid reef
#

I generally trust people to interrupt, just not to interrupt the important thing

rocky kraken
#

all my dps died and when it sent me up boss was still at 20 and dps flew up to boss

#

20%

tepid reef
sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

because ravager scales with haste

#

and target count

#

SC doesnt

turbid shuttle
#

ravager scales with target count?

warm plinth
#

RIP Kris Kristofferson 😦

turbid shuttle
#

I checked logs it hit 5 times even in aoe

#

sc with bulwark gives 40 rage per cast, every 45s. ravager is 50 (60 with lust) every 1.5 mins. sc with bulwark gives more.

#

bulwark alone gives almost as much

#

plus the free block/revenge

lusty grotto
#

sc with bulwark is 2 points

#

vs 1 from ravager

#

err bolster

turbid shuttle
#

bolster also gives less shield block than sc with bulwark

lusty grotto
#

if the difference is that small, why would you put a talent point

#

no it doesnt

#

cause bolster ignores the duration cap

turbid shuttle
#

15s every 3m vs 8s every 45s no?

lusty grotto
#

with HR you will have SB for days

#

if it ignores the duration cap

turbid shuttle
#

ok so you agree that sc+bulwark gives both more rage and more sb than ravager + bolster

lusty grotto
#

allowing SB to refresh more often within the window

#

no i dont

turbid shuttle
#

ok then go look at the numbers and get back to me lol

lusty grotto
#

why are you ignoring bolster bypassing the duration cap?

#

and only being 1 talent point?

#

look at the numbers

#

im putting it plain and simple

#

1 talent

#

1 talent point

sand pebble
#

Jumping in on my lunch break - spending rage on Sb > extending it fir free cause rage spent = better for am/indomitable:)

lusty grotto
#

with minimal difference

turbid shuttle
#

sry key

lusty grotto
#

and ignoring SB duration

turbid shuttle
#

cap doesn't matter

lusty grotto
#

why not?

#

if youre extending SB with HR

#

why wouldnt it matter?

#

it means you press SB less

#

so overall you will have the same availability and uptime

#

WITH ONE TALENT POINT INSTEAD OF TWO

#

if youre doing BSV, you do not care about dps

#

you care about surviving

#

the argument that SC does slightly more is inconsequential

#

and this conversation is fucking tiring

#

if you want BSV

#

you drop SC + Champs Bulwark

#

and you pick up BSV + Bolster

#

thats it

#

there's 0 numbers in favor of dropping ravager

#

and "because streamer did it" is not a reason

quasi pivot
lusty grotto
#

or because "i copy pasted from an aggregate site"

simple drum
#

What are you even trying to say here

lusty grotto
#

honestly i just fail to understand why they even join discords if thats how they think

#

thats the 2nd time ive heard something along those lines today

#

if their choices are good enough and they feel that way about discords, why join them in the first place? they have their answers so whats there to talk about?

simple drum
#

Also what does the skill level you play at have to do with what you need/don’t need compared to what a better player needs/doesn’t need

#

Like, if you don’t need it, you don’t need it

#

Other players who are better wouldn’t change that

inland raft
#

If anything it doubles down in why should pick the discord recommended build. If you arent at their skill level then you arent doing their key level and you dont know what their mindset is inside their group that influences their deviation from the recommended build

#

But also at the same time. Taking it or not taking it doesnt matter tank dps varrying by 2-5% isnt going to make or break a key so play what you want

simple drum
#

So it helps me way more lol

high wyvern
turbid shuttle
# lusty grotto why not?

everything you are saying is wrong. let's compare sc+bulwark to rav+bolster.
on rage, sc+bulwark gives 40 per 45s, or 80 per 90s. ravager gives 50 per 90s (60 in lust). winner: sc+bulwark.
on shield block uptime, sc+bulwark gives 8s per 45s, or 32s per 3 min. bolster gives 15s per 3 min. winnter: sc+bulwark. (you also make some point about HR which is irrelevant, since it applies to both).
the only thing left is damage. ravager gives more aoe, but sc gives more ST. whatever.

lusty grotto

ok

lets tag Mwahi and Nome

#

@ionic fern @strong forum can you take a look at what Papashlapa is saying? on: dropping Ravager for BSV vs dropping SC + Champs Bulwark and getting Bolster

#

no i just dont want to get into it

#

you already said your piece

#

about class discords

#

so convince the mods

turbid shuttle
#

ok which part is factually incorrect

#

maybe I am mistaken and sc doesn't give 8s of sb per cast. I dunno.

lusty grotto
#

tag the mods

#

and convince them

#

do you want to change the general opinion of the regulars here? thats how

turbid shuttle
#

ok but you are personally adamant on this point, so much so that you flame anybody that says otherwise, yet cannot defend it.

lusty grotto
#

i already said my piece

#

why do you keep baiting a response

turbid shuttle
#

ok fair enough

high wyvern

anyone have a weakaura for seeing red/ violent outburst together?

onyx hearth
#

I know yodatv is a great player, but isn't you losing a lot by not taking alacrity? Isn't losing 8% armor huge?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

it is huge

#

just remember rank 1 players are not theorycrafters

onyx hearth
#

So why does he choose too?

lusty grotto
#

some of them have theorycrafting people

#

others just pick and choose on a whim

#

and do not care about the math

hollow hill
#

Is mad queen's mandate affected by the whole dps trinkets being nerfed for tanks?

lusty grotto
#

yes, but its still pretty massive regardless

warm plinth
#

If it does damage, it's affected. If it gives stats, it's not. I believe that is the rule.

#

But being affected doesn't immediately mean bad trinket

onyx hearth
#

But to achieve high keys you have to be optimized for a certain point right?

warm plinth
#

Optimized for a certain potion? What do you mean?

onyx hearth
#

Point* sorry

warm plinth
#

Well, yes and no

#

Tanking is about surviving in the end. If you're doing that, then you're generally going to do alright.

high wyvern
#

top io players arent always right, but they probs pick the talents on purpose its not like they do it for no reason

onyx hearth
#

Yodatv by not taking alacrity, he is sacrificing a LOT of survivability, right?

warm plinth
#

He's losing a significant amount. But if he's not dying because of it, then 🤷

#

For tanks, and pwar especially, pressing the right buttons at the right time is 95% of our survival, if not more.

tepid reef
#

It looks like was prioriting defensive cd uptime and aoe interrupt/silence over the armor in the protection tree, which is a reasonable choice to be making if that's what his group needs

#

I wouldn't do it because im not pulling that big, meh

high wyvern
#

ye im sure it was a conscious decision not like "pick these talents for fun"

onyx hearth
#

Yes of course, that's why I'm trying to understand why

lusty grotto
#

at lot of the time r1 players pick what they need, not as much as what it offers

#

in terms of raw stats etc

onyx hearth
#

For my head, the armor from alacrity is huge

high wyvern
#

it might not does max amount of DPS, but it can esnsures he will never die (cheat death talent), or more interrupts on demand (disrupting shouts)

lusty grotto
#

yeah pretty much

high wyvern
#

mathematically it probs not the best min max DPS build but he probs choose it for a reason

lusty grotto
#

to be fair

#

the armor does go into strength that goes into parry

tepid reef
#

Thoughts on the champion spear + roughly 10% strength vs 2% crit and roar?

lusty grotto
#

so its not as simple as that, but i suppose it sums it up

tepid reef
#

Does the 2% crit on tree buff parry?

lusty grotto
#

rating buffs parry

tepid reef
#

ah okay thank you

lusty grotto
#

cruel strikes shouldn't, unless im mistaken

tepid reef
#

you're correct

#

10% strength is roughly 10% increased damage across the board right? Just everything scales with it?

lusty grotto
#

everything scales with AP

tepid reef
#

Gonan be honest, attack power isn't on my default character display

lusty grotto
#

and strength turns into AP

#

yeah its kinda not important

#

str to ap should be 1:1

#

so largely unimportant to have something labeled as AP

#

so yeah youre correct in your assumption

#

depending on how the attack scales with AP (and hence STR)

#

why would you be annoyed with an op spell

some do nothing

# turbid shuttle everything you are saying is wrong. let's compare sc+bulwark to rav+bolster. on ...

I did not read further up too much,so maybe i missed some points,but..
Bolster makes LS into a 2m CD.
Using SC as a "let me keep SB" up CD means you are going to be sitting on it..a lot. You want to send it on CD for the damage and rage part which in turn leads to potentially wasted SB up-time from it. We don't naturally have a lot of SB down-time right now,especially in m+ with traveling between packs giving time for SB to recharge. Bolster on the other hand can be used specifically to cover SB down-times when needed as we don't send it randomly on CD. You're not "wrong" per-se tho. 🙂

i almost timed a 10 gb 3 times in the first week, but the healer kept going full fucking ape mode on last boss

#

doing the dumbest shit

#

Couldn't get in a hc raid with my friend (605 ilvl, fdk + holy priest) because we're 5 ilvls too low apparently

#

so sad

lusty grotto
#

people hate priests right now idk why

#

disc/holy i mean

#

my friend needs to group with me to do keys

#

and hes a god-tier healer

GB last boss can be spicy indeed. It's kinda horribly designed from the point of having to pickup adds coming from every direction while getting knocked back and trying to avoid tentacles at the same time.

merry sluice
#

i hate priests bc im tired of watching bad ones get oneshot constantly

but im personally against shitty fotm shammy and pres re-rolls personally

I just like how ranged dps players are like

repelled from everyone else in the group

#

they have to stand at 40yds from everyone

#

or they feel uncomfy
