Ah ok. Thought I was doing something wrong lol. Thanks!
the cone is baited on dps
SV cloak dropped, but not for me
some dude in blues
i think thats the best one we can get from keys
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?
Ye exactly..
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
nice, thank you
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?
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.
are you thane?
Yeah I'm thane
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
you press IP
IP is the de-facto rage spender
more IPs = faster rage consumed = AM resets avatar
So if shield slam and thunderclap are on cooldown I shouldn't hit revenge between ips?
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
cuz they copy
jesus christ
Yeah I just hit copy on the top runs
all the top players are using it
40% versa or gtfo
(reffering to bfa keys corruption)
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
Dejavu? Felt we just had this BSV incident few hours ago 
drop bitter immunity and grab piercing challenge
drop Defender's Aegis and grab Impenetrable Wall
a large part is your talents, youre copying some dogshit build
why would you take BI
you already have tons of DR and healing
raid boss that needs it i guess
But yogi, explain what this shield stampede will do. AoE skills?
TLDR its dragon charge but you arent drunk
your gameplay is not perfect, but its kind of decent, Kengfa, just tweak your talents and dont copy paste without understanding them
DC you weave in and out of traffic and would be pulled over by police for illegal lane change
thanks for the tips
hi guys, is it worth to play thunderous roar instead of speer in m+?
sure if you make the correct talent choice to get it
its not optimal to pick roar but absolutely playable
whats the good or the bad side of playing roar? cause i think its more dmg in aoe then speer?
this is the forbidden shield stampede we cannot have
is there a weakaura that makes a sound when shield block is about to fall off?
alrighty ima just go back to mountain thane if its the better choice
defensively it absolutely is
ah ok
is shield slam always highest prio on mountain thane?
its pretty fucking high up ye
or does having procs on thunderclap do something
yes
also whats up with this i cant click on the war within

feel free to read my rotation guide on wowhead
TLDR its this
could upgrade with cataclysm from 2/4 set to 4/4 set (all hero pieces)... should i wait for wednesday in case of im receiving a mythic or go straight ahead for 4/4 hero 619 pieces
its sunday
yeah wait for vault
tierset isnt that important that you NEED it right now
do we craft weap with embelish ? same as dps ?
we do not
Anyone know how much rating you get for completing a +10 shortly after time runs out?
so after shield 636 is there anything important to craft?
i got 323 for a mists in 26 mins, and 303 for a sob 10 1 min over
oh shit damn what shield we be crafting
I need 8 points.
Is Colosuss Prot the answer? o.O
wdym answer
Is the 3% leech talent working properly?
I have 1325 leech from the wrist enchant but that's currently all I have on the char stats
Tank was 2nd in DMG overall in a Stonevault 7
you should have 9% leech on your character sheet
ilvl 618 ilvl overall with the 639 wep
or slightly higher
I'll check it out
Hey, going to make a prot warrior next after my bdk and bear. Prot seems more fun. But.. what race. Is the new earthen any good?
dwarf bis if you're not after aesthetic
whatever looks good with an xmog on for you
is shield 636 > weap 636?
yes
based
defensively absolutely
Even with the 10% more armor racial?
Can someone come kill Zekvir for me before I punch holes in my wall, thanks.
Ok well come kill it for me, thanks.
Base armor from equipment, is that not all our armor?
I simply cant kill the cacoon fast enough and kick all the heals and spits
This makes the Mage Tower look like a joke
we have an armor mulitplier
and its only the base armor that gets increased, not affected by our mulitiplier
ye
I don't think it's possible as prot RN idk
Got it down to 20% as fury opposed to 80% as prot haha
150 attempts
615 ilvl
Who
the other warriors that have completed it lol
Oh shet
I think I'm going to play wow again, anything fun to look forward regarding class design?
Not for Prot no.. We're the only class they havent touched since launch
colossus is a nice break from playing thane
and i hate our 4pc
Skill issue I guess
I'll check his yt now
so you get some variety
Thanks, I've barely read anything, ppl are going thane as it is def oriented is my take?
thanks, I'll give it a try
hey guys
just tried my first then which was ara kara
and the boss fucked me like i was paper
any ideas =L
i was thinking maybe its my build
nah build is fine
just pop SW for tankbuster
aka the vicious bite shit
does like 0 dmg to me
hey boys, as a returning player, just running for old Mogs atm, is the Burning Plate of the Worldbreaker still able to spawn or is it no longer available since we cant get artifact power anymore?
also make sure to actually have block up
its a rare spawn in a cave
look for the comments on the wowhead page
ye i did the pre requisites as it said to do in legion to read the tablet, but no spawn today. So now it is just a random spawn on a daily lockout/spawn?
ty alot ❤️ appreciate it!
WHYS MY SHIELD KEEP BREAKING
What pulled the other pack here? I've watched this about 6 times can't figure it out
no deahts tho
then repair more often
but only my shield

that patrolling commander there i think just got pulled a little early
so he socialled
and it takes a while for them to pull
it has happened to me aswell
but that pull is generally fine
This is why I don't use SB
Blizz aint tricking me in to spending my gold
based
Imagine if you could craft extra procs and tertiaries onto crafted pieces
Speed stonks go up
I would be zooming
Also question, would NW be a good contender for swapping in disrupt? I'm coming across 3 or 4 pulls that are giving me issues with gathering groups of casters and I can only kick so much, especially on the necromancer mob with his army of mages and crossbowmen
If I get an indestructable shield I will never replace it.
can Ara-Kara Sacbrood drop for protection warriors or we need to go other specc in ara-kara +m ?
nah it drops for all specs in the game
ty
whats it do
Guys quick question.. On Queen Ansurek, what is best to use on the "Feast" to prevent more HP lose? Shield wall and Ignore pain? Any tips?
delete the timer
nah but fr whats it do
a fuck ton of dmg
usually happens in at least one dungeon per season/expac
and if they do kick they overlap 'em

spell block
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
🙂
It's quite literally every single piece needs it, minus one if all your speed gear is above champion level
But boy is it fun
ah
just goto his lair in spider place
Yeah he has his own delve, I just figured this out this week lol
ive not seen the fight yet
hold cds for "egg" and gg?
for ? It shouldn't matter, but for ?? absolutely
Also he hits like an absolute monster
healer brann req?
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
any other slots besides weap/shield worth spark crafting?
leap doesnt remove slows
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
yeah it's lfr difficulty
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?
We have the best tool available for something like that
you literally would have to insta taunt
Ofc
Won’t have spell block for both sets up
at what haste % do we swap to itf?
yes you will
whats everyones thoughts on running Into the Fray over Heavy Repercussions? Is it just a how much haste % you have?
spell block lasts 30s
whats the effective cd of shield block
20% afaik?
Still does dmg and still is an interesting thing to be able to pull of, no?
of course
you need to run bolster with it afaik?
Dawnbreaker scnd boss the tank slam is shadowmelt able. And he doesn’t recast
So it’s huge for the one overlap
But basically don't touch itf before 35?
not recommended no
I just tried it with 23% haste and the shieldblock downtime definitely felt noticable.
So pretty risky ig
What about Bloodsurge v Disrupting shout?
you pick what you need
Bloodsurge for just overall more rage generation + more ips over control?
not by a whole lot but yes
its decent
too dumb to play?
i can barely manage 1 resource in rage
heartstrike and deathstrike till cows come home
managing 2 resources in runes + rp is crazy
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?
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?
revenge is essentially filler you'll press nearly any button in your kit over it
I get that but in pure single target shouldnt the filler be slam instead?
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
If you have rage to slam you have rage to cast ip
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)
Ahh okay that makes sense, i wasnt aware that revenge had a chance to reset shield slam I thought that was just autos
Somebody damaged 2 of the mobs. If you look closely you can see the front 2 are 99% as they walk in but the back 2 are 100%. I can't really see anything that hit them but it did.
fracture must be really fun on a +10
yall ever been kicked from a key becuase your weap wasnt crafted
think i dodged a bullet there
i mean
what
i cant think of any line of logic that would lead them to think that way :S
how good is pain and gain in m+? I see some top parsers grabbing it but it seems neglible?
i dont use it if that means anything
i forget the reason we dont get it
Its neglible
becasue it s u c k s
Better options then a heal that often procs as overheal too
plate repairs are expensive man
instantly
destructible shield maintenance
common yogi W
Whats a good setup for Brann for solo delves? im able to solo t8 at 578ilvl, just want to optimize a bit more
i just go in with keys build personally for thane
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
I like porcelain and amorphous I think? The crit and +/- size one
that was for 9
cuz i was dying LMAO
i also liked streamlined, rage filled and porcelian, i feel like streamlined will be meta once delves are completely speed run
how good is prot set ?
i think the 2pc has more value than the 4pc but its not alot of dps
2pc okay, 4pc sucks
oh
what about m+
same thing
isn't 4p better for m+ ?
cuz your dps doesnt really change keys to raid, you still hit same buttons same order
um actually no because heroics dont hit hard enough for shield wall so!!!!!!
🤓
im jk pls no hurt
you have to crit with the SS to get the 10% clap dmg, and we are trying to spam hell out of SS
we can have as many as 3 to send in a row
so im not entirely sure youd get as much value as you might imagine you would for claps
lust PI and skyfury the SS procs are endless sometimes
oh, didn't see that ss had to crit, that sucks so hard
SS double hit rogue and pwar and skyfury would probably go hard in a key
triple SS? that would be insane, has to be
in this imaginary key, i would also like a dps monk or dk (doesnt matter spec for dk)
Aren't the extra hits from windfury and shit like that just white hits?
im pretty certain combat rogue outlaw get value from just white attacking somehow besides poison
They get energy procs from offhand strikes
ROFL. you def dodged a bullet. 4 of them.
blade flurry and killing spree is lethal
i remember my pally being kicked from an atal in s3
bc i wasnt a dwarf
even though it meant nothing bc i could just bubble and bop+taunt throughj the bleed
just had a 10 nw meltdown on the final boss.. worked hard to make the run smooth.. then we get to final boss with 7 minutes left..
and the team just melts down.. no pun intended i guess
never seen a group throw so hard
Final boss is like, the easiest, wut
nw and CoT, fucking hell in pugs
but last boss is like brain off so long as they dont insta dispel
Yeah I literally typed “what’s going on here” “are you guys serious”
A dude died down below
I struggle on the mobs in nw tho
So we are 4 manning it, 3 at a time on boss cuz a dude is down below
Then it all fell apart
Yeah I was doing some great plays and pulls on trash
To make sure we had time
tbf they only time in in danger on mobs
is when dps decide to throw a fucking cleaver at my skull mid fatty pull
and NOT the trash
sometimes they pick the healer :D
Specifically the necromancer, that guy is just not a fun time
But imagine the throwing on the final boss
Literally easiest boss perhaps all season
Without a doubt
Weird things happening this week
Ironic considering he was the hardest last time we saw the dungeon
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
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
Not all of our spells cost rage, and you're never forced to use IP
All the spells that don’t cost rage have cds though right? What’s the filler spell that costs no rage
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
can you still clear tents on last boss in grim batol with spell reflect?
The better question is why you are out of rage
90% of my shield slams reset shield slam cd. how are you out of rage
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.
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
Proper gameplay does mean you don't have rage problems
well the issue is ur lvl 70 xd
That shouldn't matter
He's got all his core talents; we didn't have rage problems last expansion either.
stop using ignore pain so myg
much
yes
Anyone know why Yoda runs thunderous roar over spear? https://raider.io/characters/us/illidan/Yodawr
Nobody knows why he does anything
I kind of want to try it
Ok ok ty guys just wanted to make sure that warrior didn’t just naturally have some gaps like that lmao
Is the conventional wisdom that you run spear now because of rage generation?
mfw no shield slam reset after like 4 revenges
(i know this is a rare case i'm just having some fun)
I dunno
spear just does more dps
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
wat who’s saying to drop sc
nim+nome have commonly said to drop sc for bsv + bolster, instead of ravager
No one in this discord is saying to run BSV
Oh to get BSV yeah prob drop sc
They're saying you CAN do that to run BSV
if you're going to get bsv, that is the way they say to do it
It's not a recommendation
u should run bsv in high keys so if ur doing 11s+
No, you shouldn't; it's completely unnecessary
yeah sorry that's what I meant, I meant that in a way that IF they want to they are doing it that way
2% tank dps dont matter if u can pull bigger
Playing without sc feels very bad. Lose a lot of rage from it too over time
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
So let me make sure I'm understanding you here.
there's a reason basically everyone doing wf keys is using bsv
No seriously, hear me out
I'm listening and very interest 🙂
That wall is 12+ though because of a massive spike in difficulty
10-11 no reason for bsv
key dependent but ya agree
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.
Objectively I get it, but it FEELS like I need it right now. Maybe it's just an ilevel thing, but it definitely feels that way
bro no one cares about uptime
its about having a fail save where u would die otherwise
tank death = key gone
Play properly, and you don't die.
thats such a bad take i don't even know xdd
The talent isn't enabling high keys with that logic; it's enabling you to fuck up and maybe not die because of it.
That does not make it required for high keys.
You are saying you should run it, which is the same thing in WoW terms.
You literally said this
Now you're just arguing semantics. If you're gonna say something dumb, at least stick to your convictions.
ur doing the same thing
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.
I mean have you never made a mistake?
the price in keys for that mistake is u dying
= bricking the key
that talent could prevent that
lol just never make a mistake. easy peasy.
or you could have a safety net for the occasional mistake, and give up a small amount of rage and damage for it
It takes a very fundamental mistake to die on a prot warrior
says the 2k io rando
It's not just oh I pressed this one wrong global
xd
It's oh I didn't press the thing that is core to the entire spec
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
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.
Shit sorry didn't know I'm speaking to the guardian of the server, my bad
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
"play bsv if you think you might die" is misinformation. lmao...
total uptime no, but can be good if you need multiple uses in a row or have pulls planned around it
it gives less theoretic uptime, but times you want to press shield wall aren't equally spaced. if you think you're going to need it 2x in short window, then not for a while, it could be useful.
He said and I quote (again) "u should run bsv in high keys so if ur doing 11s+"
well high keys kinda implies that ur in danger of dying no?
Thank you both that makes sense. I can think of a couple dungeon pulls where it would be nice to cast back to back.
I probably wouldn't bother unless you have a specific use case in mind and a good reason for it. just imo. your talents etc.
it's pretty rare but it does occur sometimes yea
in 99% of situations you would prefer the CDR
No, it doesn't. Because of the nature of that particular defensive, there's no situation where you go from not needing it to needing it because you passed one arbitrary key level line.
I'm specifically thinking of siege and Stonevault
isn't +12 exactly that keyline currently?
No, why would it be? Think of how that defensive works
+30% damage taken. just play better. ez pz.
why would it be? lmao did u read the affix
You have to go from being fine to suddenly being under 30% with no other alternatives to use
just to reiterate: double wall should only be played if you are using it for specific mechanics that you cannot otherwise play around without it
but these alternatives are dwinling in high keys, that's the reason u see ppl use tank trinkets, spec stamina talents, etc
u need to get baseline tankier + tankier for spikes to have the same survivability as in idk 10s
a guide said intimidating shout is good for m+. wouldnt it potentially pull nearby mobs though? wondering why it's considered good
oh boy, another one of these convos
storm bolt is single target, shout is aoe, but yes same purpose, different scales
cool. saw wowhead's opener suggest taunting during the charge. what would that do?
its good practice
good for bosses/prio targets, as many classes will have big burst and sometimes trinkets that do insane instant damage
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)
That being said, there's nothing I'm willing to give up to talent in to it
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
Okay i will focus on shield block a bit more
Back hits and not using spell block enough are also some of the regular offenders for spiky damage intake
There should only be specific mechanics that chew into you at all, especially if you're in def stance
Finally got curve in pug
Getting better at spell block usage is big. Really helps some shitty pulls.
I mostly press it on cd in packs where i see a spell being cast :/ which is... obviously not great
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
Like if a specific pack hurts you go on mdt to see what they do
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
Cheat death = saved two minutes on your key because you killed the pack instead of wiping
cheat death is very very very good
hes running a much different build than what I was recommended
Yoda lol
Oh no ravager AT ALL, thought you mean the follow up talent.
here's top 100 heatmap
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.
that may help you make a choice
i dont run BSV
huh, im dropping ravager then lol
its not needed
dont
i dropped ravager cause im new at tanking, rather have the safety
drop Shield Charge and Champions
so both ravager and BSV are good? just personal preference?
how about this I also saw some prot warr running this
drop bloodsurge for that
They run keys you would very likely get one shoted by something it’s your preference
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?
35-40
why is ravager considered so important?
ah i see
is it the same argument between cheat death trinket vs dps trinket for tanks last expansion?
eh
io is a metric to see how much you no life the game rather than your skill level
its kinda different i suppose
people kept telling me if u played well u should never need a cheat death talent / trinket
Nim, any thoughts on why Yoda is running thunderous roar instead of spear?
but i do be making mistakes sometimes 
More likely that builds are personals so do whatever you want
i cant answer for yoda
Common misconception, BSV is NOT a cheat death
Most of them they're not very good. Stonescales was very good last xpac however.
If you go from 31% HP to 0, you still die
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
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
It procs all the time because I'm bad :P
lol, you should aim for that not to be the case but backup is always nice.
same tbh
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
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.
What are the best "tank" trinkets for m+?
when i asked if i needed most of the answers were: "just get good u dont need it" 😦
yeah the blood discord is really toxic
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.
Ara Kara and swarmlord in my opinion
i take this even tho its not the "optimal" talents but I cant bring myself to trust pugs to interrupt lol
I didn’t get the swarmlord in guild raid forgot to change loot spec so I rolled as off-spec lol
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.
had last boss of NW bug out and send me down https://medal.tv/games/world-of-warcraft/clips/iMqGq0Wz4voGXxEyI?invite=cr-MSx2M0UsMjU2MzU5OTIwLA
Watch NW tank on down phase and millions of other World of Warcraft videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
I generally trust people to interrupt, just not to interrupt the important thing
all my dps died and when it sent me up boss was still at 20 and dps flew up to boss
20%
ceaseless swarmgland or sacbrood?
Sacbrood and swarmlord authority
Felt that one in my soul
no, it doesnt
because ravager scales with haste
and target count
SC doesnt
ravager scales with target count?
RIP Kris Kristofferson 😦
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
bolster also gives less shield block than sc with bulwark
if the difference is that small, why would you put a talent point
no it doesnt
cause bolster ignores the duration cap
15s every 3m vs 8s every 45s no?
ok so you agree that sc+bulwark gives both more rage and more sb than ravager + bolster
ok then go look at the numbers and get back to me lol
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
Jumping in on my lunch break - spending rage on Sb > extending it fir free cause rage spent = better for am/indomitable:)
with minimal difference
sry key
and ignoring SB duration
cap doesn't matter
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
Tbh being able to group up nasty multi-caster spread packs by pummeling one then shouting the rest is really nice
or because "i copy pasted from an aggregate site"
This is some of the silliest logic I’ve ever seen in a class discord
What are you even trying to say here
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?
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
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
Yeah of course, it’s the reason I take the double Shield Wall talent even though it’s technically worse, I’m just not that good of a player and I know I’m not
So it helps me way more lol
!plater
Isnt that what he's saying?
wherever you feel you need it
its like a pseudo aoe grip lol
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.

ok so you have no rebuttal. got it.
@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
ok which part is factually incorrect
maybe I am mistaken and sc doesn't give 8s of sb per cast. I dunno.
tag the mods
and convince them
do you want to change the general opinion of the regulars here? thats how
ok but you are personally adamant on this point, so much so that you flame anybody that says otherwise, yet cannot defend it.
ok fair enough
anyone have a weakaura for seeing red/ violent outburst together?
I know yodatv is a great player, but isn't you losing a lot by not taking alacrity? Isn't losing 8% armor huge?
So why does he choose too?
some of them have theorycrafting people
others just pick and choose on a whim
and do not care about the math
Is mad queen's mandate affected by the whole dps trinkets being nerfed for tanks?
yes, but its still pretty massive regardless
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
But to achieve high keys you have to be optimized for a certain point right?
Optimized for a certain potion? What do you mean?
Point* sorry
Well, yes and no
Tanking is about surviving in the end. If you're doing that, then you're generally going to do alright.
top io players arent always right, but they probs pick the talents on purpose its not like they do it for no reason
Yodatv by not taking alacrity, he is sacrificing a LOT of survivability, right?
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.
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
ye im sure it was a conscious decision not like "pick these talents for fun"
Yes of course, that's why I'm trying to understand why
at lot of the time r1 players pick what they need, not as much as what it offers
in terms of raw stats etc
For my head, the armor from alacrity is huge
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)
yeah pretty much
mathematically it probs not the best min max DPS build but he probs choose it for a reason
Thoughts on the champion spear + roughly 10% strength vs 2% crit and roar?
so its not as simple as that, but i suppose it sums it up
Does the 2% crit on tree buff parry?
rating buffs parry
ah okay thank you
cruel strikes shouldn't, unless im mistaken
you're correct
10% strength is roughly 10% increased damage across the board right? Just everything scales with it?
everything scales with AP
Gonan be honest, attack power isn't on my default character display
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)
wait to take big dam before pressing defensive button (ie ignore pain) instead of before. Press uhhhh runetap or something as walk into packs (im sure there's other buttons to),
its not that hard
you build 7-8 stacks of bone shield, and then alternate depending if you have or need runic power
between heart strike and death strike
thats the basic
how do you single pull the mobs at the end of CoT
Charge, interrupt, back up to doorway. Or have a range kick it.

no rune tap
bad
build runic power and spend it
spending runic power gives you hp and a shield
Hey guys, on Heroic Nexus Princess, whats the timing of cooldowns to knot get insta gibbed
u gotta play the tombstone minigame tho
Is it when she starts the stack of the tank debuffs?
and reaper's mark minigame now too
BDK has three reasources to manage; Runes, Boneshield, and Runic Power
screwing one up, screws up your econ for the others
but you should have plenty of boneshields to spend on Tombstone and Bonestorm
DRW gives 5 for free, bonestorm costs 5 (but gives 10 back over 10 seconds) and tombstones costs 5
plus exterminate casts are marrowrends that give boneshield for 1 rune
Just press demo shot while boss is casting the tank buster is enough to live through it.
but also alternating wall/last stand is good
The tank buster is that spell she stacks 4 times?
Thank you so very much
anyone know how many shots it takes to kill the packs in the first area of grim batol?
I tend to only fire the big dmg on the way back to not overkill,
it doesnt reallllyyyy matter
is it possible to kill all
kinda annoyed at spell reflect in some of these dungeons
why would you be annoyed with an op spell
cause its just so inconsistent
some spells you can reflect to just block the damage but it doesnt do any damage back
some spells do insane damage if you reflect
some do nothing
welcome to prot warrior
also unless im really stupid you cant reflect on 2nd boss of necrotic
since its always targeting you even when the spell isnt on you
also i didnt play prot in shadowlands, was the attacks from last boss always blockable?
yes
at the very start of s1 it wasnt
but
they added the blockable part sometime after
and it stayed as is for all 3 SL seasons
and then this version has that
damn i didnt know this, thats actually pretty nice
that is the prot wariror experience tbh
"oh this is cool"
"WHAT THE FUCK WHY DOESNT THIS WORK"
"OH THIS FEELS SICK"
"fuck this class"
i have no idea what just happened on this siege
fury and mw monk died twice to 3rd pull frontal which i was aiming sideways
2 wipes
keep going
clearing boss room, they pull boss
i run out to reset
they stay?
then they kick me from group, without saying a word
lol
i guess i dodged a bullet
mwahi can you take a look at what i tagged you with earlier?
I pull everything,deal all the damage and then get kicked before the last boss.
Good times.
LOL
Soon'ish. Getting into work and a meeting right now.
ai generated avatar + bad opinion

ah yes morning monday meetings that could have been a fucking email, my favorite
you know whats my absolute favorite though?
What people don't seem to realise is +10s and below are easy enough that you can make half a dozen sub-optimal choices and still be fine
doesn't mean it's correct tho
Also: gatekeeping is good, actually
stand ups, in waterfall, not agile, maintenance, not new development, projects
i swear every morning i wanna keep myself safe if you catch my drift 😄
yeah same
😦
I love when people use project management styles and then use them wrong
pls dont say that yam, ill need you
the whole obsession with micromanaging in tech is super crinky crongemas
yeah
just shits on productivity
my current Project Manager is so fucking bad
and the worst part is, shes my PM on 3 projects because the company doesnt want to move me to other projects cause i have the most experience on these ones
so... ive been launching a barrage of resumes
It's why I gave up on programming
trust
Bajillionth useless fuckin meeting killing my flow
bad management is the bane of every single dev experience, and is the root of every single bad decision
but you know what the worst part is
GOOD PMs actually make an insane difference
its wild
How is Foul Behemoth's Chelicera trinket?
Currently using Siphoning Lightbrand and Quickwick Candle
Why is this more in depth and less passive aggressive than the actual bdk server. Skyhold is the best disc hands down.
some people say otherwise 😎
You guys just mad that someone actually wants you to work for your 500k salary 😂😂
Idk, ive been in here for a few years and y’all have made me a much better player 🤷
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. 🙂
Damn you're stupid
i wish i was earning half a mil
They can be
applying agile methodology to waterfall projects is
which is what i was talking about
Wut
exactly
yeah
What is this cursed message..
indeed it is cursed
Write your CEO an email get the guy fired
but alas its exactly as it sounds
lol
Do i have to agro any of the slugs during tred'ova
what's a tred'ova
yesn't
Really? I never paid attention to them..they used to be a fixate in a person.
they dont fixate before the first consume

yup
u need threat before first consume
that's how desperate people are for tanks
meanwhile my 620 bdk can't make a GB to save its fucking soul
i keep getitng passed for fucking bears
my GB is still stuck at +5 because I can't find a single group running it and my keys never reroll into it
Tbf, a +3 is stupid easy. People just overinflate itemlevel requirements for keys.
people overinflated ilvl requirements in general
I don't think i dropped low there ..ever.
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
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.
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
don't forget healer somehow positioning themselves directly in the middle of the adds and instnatly getting aggro then losing their mind
walk towards the tank that got knocked back? lol no
priest fade? never heard of her
"hey tank is it possible to get agro" after wiping 3 times
and im like... yeah if you arent standing in africa
mhm ;x
killed boss immediately after
I had a druid tank on GB instantly die to the adds when he did get aggro
no saving that group
my favourite was still getting yelled at for aggro on frog boss in hoi last season by a pres evoker
fucking diabolical lol
looked at the log, 30s since he last pressed ironfur
LOL
tanks disrespect the shit out of hatchlings too don't get me wrong
they have fucking hands.
But i'm tired of watching peopel immediately send aggro on them and instantly going TANK!1!!??
And the healer telling you, tank has nothing to do I have to heal so you go and collect addsthen boss knockbacks you in tentacle, healer leaves
This shit drives me nuts. Not on that boss, but in general. Ranged DPS would be just sitting in Narnia casting and then aggroing pats. Staying closer make things so much easier for healing, add control and not ass pulling shit.
treemouth brackenhide...
2nd boss dawnbringer
"oh adds targeted me? nah im gonna sit at max range"
xD
This is the way
but damn man, these past two weeks ahve been BRUTAL
