i feel like the hurdle hasn't once been my survival or pull speed
just, oh damn,t here went 3-4 minutes in deaths...

oh hey, someone decided to stand 40 yards on Izo

#

then ofc the ONE TIME they decide to stack on tank is during the tank aoe...

#

or you know "what if I just aimed this cleaver through my party instead of the trash?
rando dps dies
"HEALER???"

lusty grotto
#

just be ranged and never come in for tank soak on fangs 😉

merry sluice
#

i was on fangs on my dkr ight
said i was gonna ams the 2nd knife

noone comes in for the first outside one melee

#

EVERYONE STACKS ON ME FOR THE 2ND

#

WTF

round pendant
#

I've only fucked up a few times in all the keys I've done so far

#

mainly due to not being familiar with the dungeons

#

like using my spell block and then the next pack is giga spell damage (like the casters at the end of SV)

#

those dudes hurt like hell

#

or double pulling because I falsely assumed my group would kick properly :^(

merry sluice
#

or 3 deaths on first boss

south zealot
#

@lusty grotto have fun with this

lusty grotto
#

how could you do this to me

#

have you seen this channel lately?

south zealot
#

not much

round pendant
#

who's yoda

lusty grotto
#

people want BSV by removing ravager and when you tell them to drop SC/Champs instead and grab bolster they tell you that you're trolling

#

they name drop yoda, dorki, kira

south zealot
#

high io key pusher

#

multiclasser

plush tendon
#

I find Yoda's build to be weird

south zealot
#

honestly idc if u drop shield charge or ravager

lusty grotto
#

they run ITF, which is fine, but then have to drop their 2 cents when you tell whoever asks that its recommended they wait for 35 to 40 haste

south zealot
#

ur picking bsv so you dont give a fuck anyways

round pendant
#

I like it because no spear

#

I hate spear

#

spear sucks

#

(if they doubled the radius it'd be fine)

plush tendon
lusty grotto
#

its been a goddamn circus these past few days

south zealot
#

2 - You can drop Cruel Strikes + Thunderous Roar for Endurance Training and Champion’s Spear talents, however IMO the damage loss is not worth it because prot warrior is almost never dying to 1shots so stamina is less valuable.

#

this is insane spot to draw the line

#

is roar+uproar even more damage than spear talents literally ever

plush tendon
#

which makes me cringe

south zealot
#

with no thunderous words

plush tendon
south zealot
#

dropping punish is criminal af

lusty grotto
#

lmao

#

punish does such a fucking huge difference vs invaders and shredders

#

in siege

plush tendon
#

for Tyran bosses also

lusty grotto
#

especially without poison dispels vs invaders

plush tendon
#

and losing alacrity

#

is just... why

violet ginkgo

2% haste, 8% stam, 8% armor (which is also some bonus strength!)

lusty grotto
#

choco seriously you need to see how many people name drop yoda here during the day

#

like hes right about everything

plush tendon
#

I like Yoda, but that build is cooked like a well done steak with ketchup

merry sluice
#

do i ahte myself

#

enough to look

round pendant
#

isn't his rotation also kinda scuffed

lusty grotto
#

its funny cause yoda was the one streamer that shittalked prot in beta

#

dorki didnt, kira didnt

#

yoda did

#

and yet

merry sluice
#

if i was taking hella backshots the whole time

lusty grotto
#

in:#protection yoda in the search see how many name drops this week

round pendant
#

I've never even heard of this guy

#

so how have all the noobs

lusty grotto
#

he ranked prot dead last on his first tier

#

... prot didnt change at all

plush tendon
#

I knew Prot would be strong

merry sluice
#

prot not being strong early expac is like

#

a cooked as take on its own

plush tendon
#

but I also think 4/6 tanks are all very viable

look

"AOE - Thunder clap > Revenge! proc > Shield slam > Revenge"

#

isn't this wrong??

south zealot
#

yes thats just wrong

#

revenge proc means fuck all

#

shield slam is also just better than thunderclap

round pendant
#

it's glowing, that means you gotta press it!!

lusty grotto
#

is that in the list

#

i dont wanna open it, i feel my IQ will drop

#

significantly

round pendant
#

yeah that's in that doc he linked

lusty grotto
#

jesus fucking christ

south zealot
#

well i think his idea is that revenge is good but you dont want to spend rage on it, bc ignore pain too vaulable defensively

merry sluice
#

fuck it

im going in

merry sluice
#

so that's confusing

#

its like

normal kelp

is thunderous roar just not good anymore after nerf?

lusty grotto
#

dont consume rage to make wall reset faster guys, or to fish for your RAGE GENERATOR

#

holy fuck

#

hes recommending defender's aegis right?

#

cause we had a couple... today

south zealot
#

yes

#

he says its preference

#

but he prefers it

#

which is a fine thing to say i dont think its terrible information

lusty grotto
#

yeah i guess

plush tendon
south zealot
#

wall is better for sure IF youre using shield wall on cooldown (you should)

lusty grotto
#

i hate the fact that people come in here with questions about his build

#

i just dont understand why they dont just go to his disc

#

or twitch chat

south zealot
#

i dont want to play prot bro im so bad at tanking please dont make me get high io again

#

so ppl listen to my information

merry sluice
#

i just

round pendant
#

It just goes to show succeeding is more about just playing properly and not how you build your character

south zealot
#

yoda is much better as a tank than me

#

living things is not my strong suit

round pendant
#

You can do everything wrong and still succeed if your group kicks things and you don't just not use mitigation

merry sluice
#

i just dont get "why does guy build x thing"
let's not ask guy, and instead ask wariror discord.

"We don't build that"
"UGHHUHH JUST TEL ME WHY HE DOES IT"

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

thats what i meant

lusty grotto

Gearing feels like a chore this season

Feels wack seeing trinkets do like 2% damage

trinkets are the highest prio bc i play dps

compared to df where they'd do like 7-10%

wicked pollen

im fucking suffering without them

lusty grotto

but not having rings and cloak after so many runs this week hurts my soul

Keep SB up more. Press buttons more

#

Like..all of them

south zealot
#

your cpms all around the board are low, cast more spells

ionic fern

You wasted 1.9k rage which is A LOT.

south zealot
#

i have about 15cpm on shield slam in about every key

shy frost
#
  1. Press more buttons
  2. Spend more rage
#

nice. thanks! 😄

south zealot

also make sure you have shield block up always and youre facing the enemies

Realistically, you will almost always waste rage.

is there an estimative ammount of crit haste vers that we want or its just how i feel better?

shy frost
south zealot
#

as much haste as u can legally get

neat parrot
south zealot
#

after taht go equal parts crit and vers and youll be fine

neat parrot
south zealot
#

thats rgeat

#

great

neat parrot
#

but i started getting more vers haste gems cuz i started feeling squishi

violet ginkgo
lusty grotto
#

hes sacrificing ilvl

#

which is iillegal

neat parrot
#

so basically i want to keep haste at 40+ and play arround with crit / vers numbers?

lusty grotto
#

are you full myth?

neat parrot
#

no, hero, except a ring and a neck

lusty grotto
#

link armory

neat parrot
#

1 sec im on the phone

lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

weird

#

it says 27% haste there

south zealot
#

stats are good keep getting more haste

neat parrot
#

i meant with into the fray

#

talent stacked

lusty grotto
#

thats not

#

unbuffed haste

neat parrot
#

who tf got 43 haste

#

raw

#

omg

lusty grotto
neat parrot
#

with fb and inti the fray im 43-45

lusty grotto
neat parrot
#

got it

lusty grotto
#

you dont have 40% haste

#

buffed haste doesnt really count

#

i dont play ITF

#

cause i dont have the haste for it

neat parrot
#

in pulls with into the fray? i do, but i didnt know buffed haste doesnt count

lusty grotto
#

the more base unbuffed haste you have

#

the better ITF is

neat parrot
#

but tbh it s scary to add more haste since i will drop on vers, and i tried 2-3% vers which felt ugh horror movie

lusty grotto
#

vers wont make you survive

#

not at the numbers you're talking about

#

that's some placebo shit

neat parrot
#

might be

lusty grotto
#

nah, not might be

#

is

neat parrot
#

used to play bear and stacked haste vere

lusty grotto
#

thats cause bear prefers it

#

we dont

neat parrot
#

ye thats why i like vers gotta adjust

lusty grotto
#

keep stacking haste

#

youre not there yet (or will be)

mild swan
lusty grotto
#

into the fray

mild swan
#

Wait, i thoght that gives you flat haste

round pendant
#

ITF isn't affected by diminishing returns

#

it's a % increase to your unbuffed haste afaik

#

so if you've hit DR and then get itf, you just get a fat amount of extra haste

#

it's multiplicative also

lusty grotto
#

yup nodders

round pendant
#

so I think you actually end up getting more than 2% per stack

lusty grotto
#

its 8% max now remember

#

not 10%

#

like in DF

round pendant

yeah so sad

lusty grotto

its called tactician on arms

Thanks 😛

Was searching for it but couldn't find it, figured that was it, had to double check

south zealot

i dont recommend yodas guide

for what its worth

That guide is one of the first things I read today and now my day is ruined.

peak light
#

I was reading that sadge

south zealot
#

yeah i think theres some pretty bad information

orchid gulch

Stick to nome's and mwahi's guides, I'd say. They're pretty solid advise.

Mind linking those ones?

south zealot

nomeraturs is wowhead mwahis is icyveins

Ah 😄 Ye I'll read them now

Time to start another argument..

#

WHY ARE TOP WARRIORS RUNNING ITF??

#

(M*me)

south zealot
#

i use it too i refuse to give up that talent

#

feels to good

zealous goblet
#

Or how about...

#

Well shit there's not much to bicker over fuck.. Uhh

#

Disrupting shout was a popular talking point, still is?

orchid gulch
#

Nah.

Comes up once in a while but it's essentially potato / potato by now. You'd have better rates of success by arguing where to get the point from, I reckon.

violet ginkgo
lusty grotto
#

thats the current argument

#

its not even "should i use BSV"

south zealot
#

i don’t care what talents ppl play anymore

lusty grotto
#

its the whole thing you swap to take it

south zealot
#

too much work

#

well

#

i don’t care as long as ppl take the insanely good talents

#

enduring alacrity? insanely good

lusty grotto
#

and they take BSV without Ravager WITH ITF BECAUSE APPARENTLY ITS MORE DAMAGE

That's how failsafe our tree is

lusty grotto

i guess i should take a page from your books

just press both battle and d stance buttons at the same time to no-stance, ez

I use warpdeplete, took a few guildies who only do m+ at like 4-5 lvl to a Stonevault 10 for the weekly chest, and, if you didnt know, the timer can overflow with that addon

You pull based on what your group can live

that was their intention for this season

anyway, dstance in trash pulls isnt anything you (or i at least) would do

what’s the purpose though

5 target capped classes rise up. Fury rise up!

Maybe at one point DPS will dust off their spellbook and find an interrupt in there.

south zealot
#

idk man dogshit change

lusty grotto
#

blizzard hates big pulling, thats why SL caps exist

zealous goblet
#

i don't blame them. it's a lot easier to balance around 1 pack pulls. instead of expecting tanks to have 2 massive aoe silences that they need to compete with, for example.

south zealot
#

ppl like bigass pulls, blizard does not

lusty grotto

thats why they overloaded mobs with abilities in DF

you won’t time high key if you do one pack pull at a time

i dont play it in arakara either

alright

round pendant
lusty grotto
#

if 1 pull at a time is blizzard's intention

gritty eagle
#

for the highest keys, people will obv find ways to pull bigger, but it definately feels like you pull smaller in this season

lusty grotto
#

and people do not time keys

vale bolt
#

Disrupting is weird. It's not really a valuable aoe silence for the point it costs to take, but in some dungeons having it allows you to easier group a pull together. I used it to great effect in the 1st boss area of Everbloom with those caster packs. Allowed me to double them up very easily

Get a group who can pump damage and not die and you can do like +12s with single pulls

glacial skiff

Anyone know how you can quantify the damage reduction from Ceaseless swamguard in logs?

lusty grotto
#

they are dead set on 1 pack at a time

strong forum
#

Can't

#

Cuz it's a debuff based dmg reduction

#

You'd have to reverse engineer logs

glacial skiff
#

Is there an aura applied to mobs or player?

strong forum
#

It's a debuff on the mob

#

So it likely reduces dmg done by the mob pre-mit

vale bolt
lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

thats a good point

#

but still

#

the "you wont time high keys if you do one pack at a time" was a weird comment

#

because it insinuates we're advocating for it

strong forum
#

Hence why I chose to ignore it

when what we're saying is that its blizzard's intention

Y'all getting one guyed

lusty grotto
#

yeah ig

round pendant
#

all the dungeons feel super designed around single pulls tho

#

hate it personally

#

except maybe stonevault

vale bolt
#

Not that weird. A lot of players think that is true. When in reality it's not the 1 pack pulls, it's the 14 deaths that's depleting keys. But people don't press kicks or defensives so 🤷‍♂️

lusty grotto
#

yeah its pretty doggy

strong forum
#

Stone vault you can frequently triple pull

round pendant
#

yeah SV is the most fun dungeon for me so far lmao

strong forum
#

But outside of that, very pre-scripted linear single pulls

#

At best double pull

#

Cuz overloaded with things that kill dps/healers

you cant equate "pulling 1 at a time in DF and before" with "pulling 1 at a time in TWW, because its what blizzard wants people to do"

Only with mega pumper enha/havoc

so they need to play it perfectly

to get threat

Not noticed it on the baby keys I've done on my warrior yet

it's got me wondering if i should go shout purely for threat, since it'd be available every pull roughly.

I use aoe taunt

Very frequently

At the end of the day, dps can't keep it in their pants for 3 seconds long enough to let the tank group everything. But then somehow they don't factor dying to threat into their overall aspirations 🤷‍♂️

As its a massive dps loss

You only press TC as filler and to apply rend

Outside of that rotation is almost exclusively revenge/ss

Revenge hits over 4x as hard as Colossus as TC

That's true. I suppose that's just the trade-off of running that build you lose uptime on demo shout

Colossus is all about maximising colossal might and demolish

Thunderclap is anti-synergistic with that

Yea when I play I tend to not press TC a lot. I just never thought to drop thunderlord tbh

And revenge just hits too fucking hard to press smth else in aoe

You also drop unstoppable force

If you didn't see

On that though, do you recommend holding your first demolish until you have 10 stacks? I have been sending basically a few GCD's in to my first pull

3 stacks

If I'm getting slapped around as prot does that mean I'm not keeping SB and IP up?

Yep

If you are getting slapped around it means you're not generatic and cycling through enough rage

Do you just full send CDs are prot?

To clarify, he means damage cd's* Don't overlap your defensives unless you know you can't live without stacking 2

Keep in mind that after demolish you also do 20% extra dmg to the mobs

Yup, I've been delaying shield charge and ravager for after demolish

Ravager you can send just before as the first hit of demolish already applies the dmg amp iirc

You're saying bsv triggers on the margin ? if I have 1kk health, takes a 1.1kk hit -> BSV will trigger "into that one shot dmg" at 30% hp, and save me?
