is there any weak aura to help know when to use spell ref

wicked pollen
forest spruce
#

thank you

round cliff
#

is mashing out 8 zekvirs optimal or should i be trying to get maps

#

or can zekvir drop maps

forest spruce
#

the othere on was was woundering if anyone had was a WA to help keep track of shield block times

native flume
#

I really wish colossus had some kind of buff to rage gen, feels gated behind higher gear levels since it’s so much more rage starved at 610

simple drum
native flume
#

My itemization also isn’t ideal for it, but damn the pack damage on it feels so much better

wicked pollen
simple drum
wicked pollen
#

did you read what i put before i linked the weakaura

#

or

simple drum
#

The ‘getting better at routes by doing them’ bit?

wicked pollen
#

its mainly used for dps

simple drum
#

Spell Block is?

wicked pollen
#

spell reflect

#

its a spell reflect aura

simple drum
#

Okay, so you misunderstood my question then

#

When I ask why doesn’t it go both ways, I’m asking why Spell Reflect has a weakaura that tells us when to use it, but Spell Block doesn’t and we should be ‘checking the spreadsheet’

#

Wouldn’t it make sense to have a weakaura for both spells regardless of whether it’s for dps or not?

junior patio
#

i would like that

#

How do you pull the extra pack through the wall at the start of the mists maze?

#

Ah thanks

velvet knot
#

Question. Is it the tanks job to get all the crystals on Skarmorak? Because the dps were ignoring them outright

round cliff
#

no lol

shrewd ore
#

no ofc not

hoary pivot
shrewd ore
#

but prot has decent dmg on them easy to swap

velvet knot
#

I was hard-focusing the shards and we got overwhelmed by them.

round cliff
#

how am i supposed to split crafted gear between the 2h i need for raid dps and the prot shit i need for dungeons

velvet knot
#

Then they raged at me for not killing the shards.

shrewd ore
#

from what i saw some ppl only kill 2 per wave

#

and then just burst the shield

round cliff
shrewd ore
#

if ur good with coordinating the dps buff

#

im stuck on race xD i prefer bigger characters instead of dwarfs, is the racial really that much better?

zealous goblet
#

pog cheers may many women swoon over you and your enemies burn

round cliff
#

if u like a diff race better pick it

#

stoneform is good but not as good as looking good

velvet knot
#

It was a very sketchy run, the DK kept pulling stuff and wiping the group because I wasn't 'pulling enough'

round cliff
#

and report him for breaking tos

zealous goblet
velvet knot
simple drum
zealous goblet
#

so basically just play what looks cool

graceful kite
#

but it's not a dealbreaker

thin pecan
#

Can anyone reccomend a w/a which plays an audio ping if I take a melee to the back or while SB is down?

round cliff
#

the ping is ur character dying

#

gg

round pendant
velvet knot

wheeze

round cliff
#

SB is 100% uptime dont let it be down

graceful kite
#

recipe for disaster

#

just pick crystals and save cds for shield

Just begging for a crum of help on the crystals

bad idea

Hello! For new born protwar, can you explain if I need to use macro shield slam + ignore pain? Or it useless?

round cliff
#

its ur active mitigation

elfin garden
#

thats spell block

#

shield block iis up 100% of the time

velvet knot
simple drum
#

Spell Block yeah

graceful kite
velvet knot
graceful kite
#

so you minmax not wasting a proc

zealous goblet
#

just send an ignore pain when you hit 70 rage

round cliff
#

its easy to not rage starve

#

u just have to be smart about it

velvet knot
#

Just dont spam revenge like a monkey

#

And you wont rage starve

round cliff
#

^

graceful kite
#

you don't have to be smart to play protwar

zealous goblet
#

i just meant using that macro

faint maple
round cliff
#

yea, the macro doesnt make u rage starve

velvet knot
#

I personally find the macro very useful.

zealous goblet
#

then i must be missing something

round cliff
#

the macro makes u rage minmax

#

because ur not missing shield slam procs

faint maple
#

Thank you:)

velvet knot
#

Put the shield slam macro where you usually put ignore pain.

#

But keep shield slam on your bars too

velvet knot
#

Heres mine for example.

zealous goblet
round cliff
#

u wasted a gcd on not pressing shield slam

#

so u press macro right before pressing smth else

zealous goblet
#

OH I GRIEFED i inverted the order of the casts in my head on the macro

round cliff
#

if shield slam HAPPENS to proc in that exact moment

#

then you shield slam instead

#

of what u planned to do

sweet summit
velvet knot
zealous goblet
#

and was thinking "no fucking way you'll go into rage debt because you generate 21 and spend 35"

#

yeah i get it now

round cliff
#

so what u do is

zealous goblet
#

like i said i misordered it in my head

round cliff
#

say u want to press shield slam, then tblast

#

u press shield slam as normal

#

in the later half of the gcd u press IP macro

#

then you press tblast as normal

wicked pollen
#

as a tank

round cliff
#

if god blesses u with a proc, you'll press SS because u pressed IP macro before tblast

#

while not actually wasting gcds

#

or reacting

#

u understand?

graceful kite
#

you can write a reflect weakaura for yourself

#

its just not needed

velvet knot
#

I actually might need some help modernizing my prot weakauras, are there any new procs we need to keep an eye out for?

graceful kite
#

seeing red, outburst, revenge

wicked pollen
#

luxthos aui

round cliff
#

luxthos ui is goated

#

i got luxthos UI and then de-slopped it a bit

graceful kite
#

luxthos is bad for fps afaik

round cliff
#

because it tracks a LOT of slop

round cliff
zealous goblet
graceful kite
#

I can't remember exact numbers but I think in chonked like 20

zealous goblet
#

here's what i recommend

velvet knot
#

This is my WA setup right now that i made

zealous goblet
#

and use

velvet knot
#

Oh I make all my own

velvet knot
#

I dont like using others

round cliff
#

BLADESTORM?

velvet knot
graceful kite
#

and elvui in raid chonks up to 100 fps btw

round cliff
#

you cant just say "i make my own" and then put bladestorm on a prot WA

velvet knot
#

i made a fury raid one too lol

round cliff
#

i will judge u

violet ginkgo
#

Prot bladestorm! I want the spin

velvet knot
#

the bladestorm replaces reflect when in fury

graceful kite
#

True meta is actionbars in the middle

zealous goblet
velvet knot
graceful kite
#

make your shield slam big and cool

velvet knot
#

oh i dont take outburst

zealous goblet
#

i wonder what the highest key a prot warrior can do if they switched their entire core rotation with a grieftation. devastate, slam, and whirlwind

zealous goblet
round cliff
#

i got luxthos and then moved shit around to the left/right and cleaned up the utilities bar on the bottom

#

everything makes sense

zealous goblet
#

even if you don't track if for shield slams its yuge

round cliff
velvet knot
#

Oh okay I was told it sucks

round cliff
#

???

#

u got griefed

zealous goblet
#

execute whoever said that

round cliff
#

outburst is SPEC DEFINING TALENT

This was the build the 2700 warrior i was asking uses.

sorry to inform u

zealous goblet
velvet knot
#

Alright what do i change here then. This setup feels very rage starved and slow

graceful kite

code it a code and if its badly written it will suck on every rig

#

Is wowhead considered a good source of information now then? I typically try to avoid written guides and just ask the top players i know.

graceful kite
#

yes

velvet knot
#

Okay ill get on that

#

ty

round cliff
#

the prot guide for wowhead is our very own nomeratur

tender reef
#

Based the balls to say that in the chat from the guy who made the guide

round cliff
#

yea lmao

#

mans runs this chat

velvet knot
#

I have no idea who that is sorry lmao

tender reef
zealous goblet
#

its probably because hes from classic. if he is. i was from classic. wowhead for classic and icyveins is actual pig slop

round cliff
#

is it

#

thats funny

tender reef
#

Classic is pig slop too

round cliff
#

is there somehow a way to craft something for fury, arms, AND prot

#

that has stats that all 3 like

graceful kite
#

no

round cliff
#

how tf do i split my sparks

#

😔

tender reef
#

Stats don't matter Item lvl does

graceful kite
#

you craft for whatever you raid in because it has logs

tender reef
#

Do wrists or belt

wicked pollen
zealous goblet
#

wowhead for classic had mfers tanking in glad stance or berserker or battle and dual wield tanking for SOD and consequentially bricking raid lockouts because surprise pug healers kinda... coin flip. pug dps.. kinda coinflip

round cliff
graceful kite

arms

round cliff
tender reef
round cliff
#

might have to deal

zealous goblet
# tender reef Welcome to retail m+

yes, but no. retail isn't telling people to perma sit in battle stance and taking into the fray and double bleed talents or some crazy shit

#

parse culture is fucking nuts in classic

hoary pivot
tender reef
#

No it's telling them to play mechanics and interrupt, but that doesn't happen either

#

And the complain about route you told them before. The run and call you brain dead

zealous goblet
#

the wowhead guide?

tender reef
#

Then leave

zealous goblet
#

im talking about wowhead guide

tender reef
#

Nah m+ pugs lol

zealous goblet
#

ok i see the miscommunication lmao

#

mb

tender reef
#

Yeah but classic doesn't matter lol 😂 "stand here for 5 min and press 1, okay next boss"

zealous goblet
#

yuo'd THINK THAT

#

I WAS THERE

graceful kite
#

I really liked classic warrior

#

tho I liked most of warrior iterations

#

classic leveling tanking on a warrior was insanely fun

tender reef
#

I did lvl tank warri in wotlk

#

Was great

velvet knot
#

Ok i adjusted my talents ty

zealous goblet
#

all classic would need is mythic+ and i'd eat like a king. i dont fucking care about raids and stuff

#

i love dungeons. i love them.

#

i'd like to play classic dungeons on a higher level.

tender reef
#

But classic dungeons suck and are not made with m+ in mind

graceful kite
#

I'd prefer classic dungeon to siege of boralus

tender reef
#

Also would get bug abused without end lol

zealous goblet
#

no of course they arent made with it in mind, but i'd like to push them to their limits

#

with minor fixes too

graceful kite
#

wailing caverns or deadmines m+ over siege all day

tender reef
#

Yeah that's too much work afaik

#

Siege is nice lol

zealous goblet
#

probably. 's why it's a wish

graceful kite

all dungeons now are hold w anyway so no reason to cry about planning routes

What tank buster ?

graceful kite

I'm looking now and most classic dungeons are banger

Oh it's literally just called 'Revenge!'

I think I'd only dislike gnomer maraudon and maybe dire maul

#

and there are 13 other dungeons id like to do

zealous goblet
graceful kite

I think it wont be good as an m+

zealous goblet
#

maraudon is racist design tho

#

built to enslave people'

people's minds*

graceful kite
#

I never did maraudon after first trash pulls

#

even when I was a little boy I went in Maraudon travelled to it for like an hour seen the inside and just left

tbf mara felt like a freaking mega dungeon back in the ol days

bigwigs or dbm

strong forum
#

Bigwigs if you want just timers

#

Dbm if you also want the timer to tell you what to do

zealous goblet
#

im just gonna try bigwigs for a small bit

#

i just wonder what everyone uses

strong forum
#

The higher you go the more people use bigwigs

#

I was a dbm user until I had severe performance issues on a boss because of dbm

#

Stuck with bigwigs ever since

#

This was however 3 expansions ago and surely these things don't happen anymore

pallid quiver
#

Bigwigs as a whole is also much more customizable

zealous goblet
#

oh actually while i have your attention mr guide writer

pallid quiver
#

So if you're willing to put the elbow grease in, Bigwigs is better overall

zealous goblet
#

do you happen to know off the top of your head how much rage an execute needs to outdamage the various parts of our core rotation

strong forum
#

APL says 70

zealous goblet
#

what the fuck is apl

strong forum
#

Action priority list

zealous goblet
#

oh

strong forum
#

On single target, the highest dmg outcome was sending execute at >=70 rage

zealous goblet
#

gotcha

#

because during some boss fights i get a little greedy

#

and neglect thunderclap

strong forum
#

Ye

#

As thane execute rotation can be a bit tricky

zealous goblet
#

and the question seems a little dumb, but for some reason half of my yellow numbers just dont show up so i dont get to see live feedback of bad choices. i miss half of my execute yellow hits

strong forum
#

You're only showing crits

#

Maybe

zealous goblet
#

i just have to log review, but i only see the average hit, and not if say a 20 rage execute was me being a dummy

#

anyways thanks for your tme

#

always a pleasure

#

i'm coming for your job

gritty eagle
#

its not worth doing delves for vault right? not really interesting from them i mean?

strong forum
#

If you can get hero track or above gear, yeah delve loot useless

zealous goblet
#

the higher level you get brann the easier zekvir ?? gets

gritty eagle
#

i meant for vault, i dont need 610 gear anyway

#

i will go for zekvir when the season "calms" down

zealous goblet
#

just remember to do it before the season ends

#

for that glorious

FEAT OF STRENGTH

not to be mistaken for Xal's feet of strength..

tawdry dirge
#

why is mark a dps trinket

#

and shard also a tank trinket?

zealous goblet
#

hey anyone else have tremendous issues contributing in a meaningful way to this week's orb affix? feels like i do more harm than good by moving the mobs around

gritty eagle
#

to make us think about loot spec

tawdry dirge
#

the basicly do the same?

gritty eagle
#

@zealous goblet y, sometimes its definately helpful to try and get them, and othertimes both adds/orbs start to act erratically when you move

#

generally speaking, i get the ones that are coming from the way im tanking and leave the others for the group.. and in certain scenarion when you have to step in shit to get them... ill do that

#

.. and if you play with a ranged group that dont care, you might have to get more than you want to 🙂

zealous goblet
#

i have to fight the voices in my head to try and help with cleave mobs especially

#

"do not spin the skeleton marauders.."

jaunty jacinth
#

Wait, does 2x Duskthread linings stack?

gritty eagle
#

y id assume so

jaunty jacinth
#

I'll relog, might be bugged

gritty eagle
#

bsl (pretty much the same), staked in df

#

you df you had to die for it work

jaunty jacinth
#

the buff's tooltip says otherwise 😄

gritty eagle
#

when you had 2 at the same time

#

i mean, just the first time

jaunty jacinth
#

ye

gritty eagle
#

@zealous goblet y, i sometimes have the same issues where i want to do everything myself and just end up messing things up, gotta learn the balance

jaunty jacinth
#

yup, it needs a health reset 😄

gritty eagle
#

y, same as df then

wheat rivet
#

if I have access to 619 shield but only have 606 weapon should I craft 636 shield anyway?

orchid gulch
#

Yes.

gritty eagle
#

do you have myth slots in your vault? might want to wait since reset is around the corner

#

otherwise, yes

orchid gulch
#

Shield is the most important piece of gear you can have, and where ilvl matters the most.

zealous goblet
#

I FINALLY GOT THE STUPID PORECLAIN ARROW HEAD UPGRADE. IT EXISTS

wheat rivet
#

ye that's a good point, I will have 2 myth slots

zealous goblet
#

100 DELVES LATER

gritty eagle
#

i would've considered going prot loot spec for vault then and crafting shield on reset if you dont get a shield in vault

wheat rivet
#

sounds good!

#

but would I pick myth shield over myth tier?

orchid gulch
#

Yes.

gritty eagle
#

uuh, yeah

zealous goblet
gritty eagle
#

tier kind of sucks

zealous goblet
#

so unless the actual armor piece is a big upgrade, then shield is ss tier

orchid gulch
#

Shield is always ss tier unless you have a myth track shield.

wheat rivet
#

ok, I know what to do now 🙂

violet ginkgo
#

You farm myth track shield now and upgrade it to max 639 ilvl

zealous goblet
#

friendly reminder 1st boss is piss easy and drops a shield

#

so try to send a mythic raid every now and then

#

the secondary stats aren't great though

gritty eagle
#

yeaah dont remind me, i guess even if youre pugging its time to start doing

violet ginkgo
#

Is myth raid already open to public aka pugging? I remember in DF i was few weeks before we can pug or that changed in TWW?

gritty eagle
#

oh i dont even know

zealous goblet
#

i saw mythic boe farms week 1

#

but im unsure how much that matters

orchid gulch
#

Yes,mythic is cross realm day 1 now.

#

Also cross faction.

gritty eagle
#

i would guess 2 boss kill pugs are up and running at this point

strong forum
#

If you can kill 2 you can kill 3

#

First 3 bosses are nearly identical in difficulty

zealous goblet
#

i feel like 2nd boss is a comm check

#

not DIFFICULT, but if your raid lead or tanks blow chunks then you're in trouble

#

*at social skill

strong forum
zealous goblet
#

shrug one more time frog boy

#

and i'll..

#

well fuck what do you consider a threat

strong forum
zealous goblet
#

warrior players are pretty robbed of any meaningful fear, and emotion

strong forum
#

No I think that's depression

zealous goblet
#

nome do you pug your keys or do you have a ring of cronies

orchid gulch
#

Depression is meta for warriors now?

strong forum
#

If you exclude S3 of DF, I've proper pugged less than 20 keys since bfa

#

I refuse to pug

#

S3 of DF was diff cuz I got ahead of the curve and actually enjoyed pushing as dps

orchid gulch
#

I also refuse to PUG, but I got no friends either. sadge

#

So I begrudgingly PUG.

strong forum
#

I would just quit

#

Or find people

orchid gulch

Okay, I've got no good friends. keks

Need to yap more on discord then

zealous goblet

make some

i can use some

i'm delightfully mentally challenged i can be court jester

strong forum

Yeah I've noticed

pallid quiver

I peek in just to see Nome takin' a swing

strong forum
#

Nah but do you think wowhead is freelance work nah fam

pallid quiver
#

my issue with just yapping in discord is that almost all my wow focused yapping is in this very specific channel

So I happen to meet a lot of people who also are playing Prot War.

The other issue is a lot of the people I like and would be able to play with are on the other side of an ocean.

blizz revolutionize international networking so i can play with eu no lag kthx

who needs a brez

zealous goblet
#

i aint going to your fucking corpse melee range with jumper cables

pallid quiver
#

you've got 5 tanks

zealous goblet
#

statistically speaking

#

one out of five tanks hits the paint fumes too hard before dungeoning

pallid quiver
#

Those are the most capable tanks

#

You simply need to find five of the paint fumers

zealous goblet
#

i know because some dungeons i look at my screen mouth open while a frontal is casting and go "oh!"

#

and i pop shield wall and eat it

round cliff
#

ok so if arms likes crit haste

#

and prot likes haste crit

#

does that still not solve my splitting sparks problem

graceful kite
#

it does if you craft armor and not weapons

round cliff
#

well u craft 1 weapon w/ a thing on it

#

and u need an armor for the thing that buffs the thing

#

right?

graceful kite
#

I don't think crafts are that important

#

if you're doing 10 vault keys you don't need anything

round cliff
#

im not doing 10 vault keys

graceful kite
#

I haven't done my 3rd craft or upgraded my shield from 619 cuz who cares

round cliff
#

wym 10 vault keys

graceful kite
#

8 +10 for vault

round cliff
#

ive not gone above a 6 yet

graceful kite
#

ah

polar bridge
#

+10 starts to be difficult, even to be grouped if you're not 615+ min ilvl @ 2400rio

graceful kite
#

nah

#

I'm still not 615

polar bridge
#

I just finished my 9s , the only 10 Ive been accepted was a COT and... those values... 😮

graceful kite
#

especially this week since you only actually get more damage intake on fort weeks

gritty eagle
#

@graceful kite if you only have m+ vault as source for myth track and dont craft stuff.. its a long grind

green bronze
#

even a +6 can be nightmare in a bad group. IMO anyone who is invested in prot warrior enough to be in that discord can do 10s, just make your own group and be very picky

gritty eagle
#

or rather.. why not craft? to save gold?

graceful kite
gritty eagle
#

alright, fair enough

graceful kite
#

Wel there's no NEED to craft

#

I actually picked a 2h from vault

#

So I got nothgin from vault as prot

#

but 10s weren't hard last week just the transition from 9 to 10 wasnt as smooth dmg intake wise

gritty eagle
#

is your goal to push further later on in the season?

graceful kite
#

nah I'm just playing with mates when they want to play

#

I'll quit once they quit

gritty eagle
#

alright, sounds reasonable, personally i kinda want the juice now

#

i probably wont push high anyway, so rather feel strong now

round cliff
#

ok so ive cracked the code

violet ginkgo
#

Myth track vault values

gritty eagle
#

@polar bridge if youre pugging, mists and ara-kara are probably the way easiest to start your 10s with

violet ginkgo
#

also what code you cracked?

round cliff
#

prot wants 2x duskthread lining, on the weakest armor bits
arms wants duskthread lining on cloak
my weakest armor bit is my cloak
both want haste/crit

#

so i make a cloak, with haste/crit, and duskthread lining

#

gg?

gritty eagle
#

if you have 9s on everything, you should have no issues getting invites as prot

polar bridge
#

I'm quite picky too, don't tag in sub 2300 grp

#

doesnt help

gritty eagle
#

i thought mists and ara @10 was kind of easier than some 9s

round cliff
#

what happen to my hands

#

why are they glowy

hey, I just recently started prot tanking and I love it. The only complaint I have is about getting rooted.. So the only way how I get out of snares is with avatar cd or the avatar proc from thunder clap, revenge or execute proc - which is 25%.
How do u guys play the last boss in ara kara city of threads where u have to get rooted. Just save the avatar for the first round of snares and the 2nd u just use all cds? Ofc if u got a pala than u might get hands but if u dont ...?
Is there another way to remove roots?

graceful kite
#

in city of thread you can reflect the root or or just dps it down, or get a paladin

ionic fern
#

Even an interrupt gets you out on ara-kara last boss.

graceful kite
#

arakara root is a mob that casts a channeled root on you

violet ginkgo
viscid bloom
#

maybe a dumb q but with cc u mean just hurl a hammer at the boss eg?

violet ginkgo
#

no just a pummel will do

viscid bloom
#

ok

graceful kite

at the blob that is under you

violet ginkgo
#

pummel at the jelly under you

viscid bloom
#

I m talkign about those purple pools that drop when u kill the mobs

#

oooh

#

ok

violet ginkgo
#

that is what we talking about too

gritty eagle

@viscid bloom you dont have to get rooted on last boss arakara, you can heroic leap at end of the cast

I m bad with the timing

take the safe way don't risk it like netto

viscid bloom

😄

graceful kite

can screw it up and make your group sad

gritty eagle
#

i had no issues doing it like that

graceful kite
#

better leap on a bloodworker

viscid bloom
#

u a better gamer

graceful kite
#

works 100%

viscid bloom
#

aight

gritty eagle
#

i effed up jumping into a puddle tho, it despawned while i was jumping

#

😄

#

after that i start doing it the other way

viscid bloom
#

xD

graceful kite
#

I'm talking about jumping on a bloodworker

#

that spawns a puddle

viscid bloom
#

they just get oneshot y?

graceful kite
#

so you don;t take up any melee or ranged puddles

#

yes

gritty eagle
#

ok, i always aimed for a puddle that was already there

viscid bloom
#

easy

graceful kite
#

leap damage kills them

viscid bloom
#

the more u know

graceful kite
#

and you don't confuse your group by taking their planned puddle

viscid bloom
#

yea

gritty eagle
#

y that too

graceful kite
#

SO yea I recommend leaping on a bloodworker

gritty eagle
#

that was also one of the reasons why i started doing it the other way, but now i know you can also jump on a worker

viscid bloom
#

will do that, thx!

graceful kite
#

wiggle a bit after jumping if you do it late

gritty eagle
#

btw, before the casts finishes, it doesnt do any dmg getting sucked right into the middle, so i just stood there and pretty much aimed my leap for the last 1 sec (so a bit sloppy with my rotation not to eff it up)

graceful kite
#

puddle starts small and grows it takes like 0.3 seconds to grow but just in case

Yeah nah, that's a boss I would just to prefer to play clean

golden basin
#

Anyone know what makes the guardians in mists smack so hard? Is it a debuff or something?

strong forum
#

The debuff fucks, the mobs fuck, and they themselves have an aura that buffs their dmg output by 5 or 10% for each nearby mob

#

You can reflect every other anima slash

#

Rest is just "kill it before it kills you" type deal

#

And every maze route has atleast 1 pull that has a double guardian pull, so you have atleast 1 pull where your healer actually needs to look at your health

blazing condor
#

is that a new thing for mists or what

Why is haste so good? Is it just bevause of gcd?

earnest cove

kindred hearth
#

That makes sense

#

And that is around what point without the extra haste?

#

Hovering around 15k right now

#

Still really heavy on Mastery because of fury gear xD

stark jewel
#

ive seen ppl say on here that with 30% haste and itf they cant get 100% uptime on SB

gritty eagle
#

@golden basin guardians anima slash is also spell blockade if i recall correctly, so in the packs with 2 guardians, i usually spell reflect first, spell block for the next

stark jewel
#

so this season i doubt itll be possible

gritty eagle
#

then its very managable

kindred hearth
#

I see, i am not able to do it too

#

Maybe you could play with Bolster, but i Spell block is kinda nice

stark jewel
#

id say youd need to be close to 40% haste naturally before itf so itf can get 100% sb uptime

gritty eagle
#

spell blockable* (dunno how i wrote blockade)

kindred hearth
#

Yeah exactly

golden basin
stark jewel
#

also works for fury/arms

gritty eagle
#

@golden basin give it a glance, but mainly, go back to it after you notice you've taken a lot of dmg in a specific pull, check if something significant in that pull i spell blockable -> then use and see difference

golden basin

Ohhh good tip I’ll get that when I get home

both alright, colossus should be a little better but I haven't tried it out

halcyon umbra
#

just overthinking my performance right now 😄 sometimes i have problem when pulling with almost insta one shot me, i have 615 ilvl when going +8/+9

gritty eagle
#

@fluid iron if you havent installed the mythic dungeon tools (MDT) addon you might want to consider that aswell, so you can tinker a bit yourself with count

halcyon umbra
#

I just try to change smth

graceful kite
#

you must be doing something wrong

#

are you using shield block?

halcyon umbra
#

sure

graceful kite
#

shield walling on pull?

halcyon umbra
#

i use sw after pulling

#

there must be a point 😄

fluid iron
graceful kite
#

warrior is the sturdiest and smoothest damage intake tank, you shouldn't get oneshot

#

and 615 ilvl is a big overkill in terms of gear

tribal wharf
#

as long as you hit your buttons

#

but yes

graceful kite
#

other tanks can get oneshot even if they hit their buttons

#

slightly off topic. can someone help me with a wa for group filtering for m+ ? cant find the one that sorts players after rating

tribal wharf
#

i think its baseline wow now

cerulean tusk
#

It is part of the base game, no

tribal wharf
#

they added TONS of filters to making or joining keys

cerulean tusk
#

Or do you want only player in the 1200 to 1600 score range kind of thing?

tribal wharf
cerulean tusk
#

Blizz does set number and up, not set with roof

tribal wharf
#

this

#

so you can choose from any of those options, the only things they DONT have listed that i see and would want is brez and lust

#

cuz i am firm believer of 2 brez classes

#

for key and lust

agile elbow
#

Pre-made group filter is also a decent addon for filtering

tribal wharf
#

every key

#

2 brez cuz, if paladin dies

#

he cant brez healer 45s later

#

its not hard rule, but its what i like

#

i consider shaman standee to be 0.5 of a brez

#

cuz, its self only, and where you died, so its not really all that great

waxen cradle

OR give us vigilance back

#

I will take that too

tribal wharf
#

LOL i used to play as rogue in wrath and i would keep asking to have vigilance, but i cant even remember what the fuck it does now

waxen cradle
#

not shitty vigilance the good version before nerfed where we gave I think a 20% DR ?

tribal wharf
#

legit cant even remember what vigiliance is (proper)

waxen cradle
#

same cant remember what original was

tribal wharf
#

no cd on taunt and 30% external dr single player

waxen cradle
#

a nerfed version for MoP was still OP because vengeance

tribal wharf
#

ya, it was so you could taunt without cd, but thats part of leap now, leap will reset your taunt CD

#

which is great cuz while taunt is active, you generate 400% threat (4 seconds)

#

great to combine with buffed SS or SC

#

lets your dps unload every cd and not worry about aggro

waxen cradle
#

I will still take my Phalanx idea for dual wield shields over it all

tribal wharf
#

okay there captian america

can anyone link me a dawnbreaker route that people apparently do

#

cuz some guy said my route was not good

#

even though we were making good time

harsh trellis
#

All of these routes are pretty linear

toxic pewter
#

sort of one I just kinda made up

#

go church house inn

waxen frigate
#

Then fly to second guy

tender reef
#

Boats, chapel outside 4 packs, inside big pack, Miniboss, front door chapel, then next Miniboss, 3 under house, next Miniboss, big spider, spider boss, back to ship , endboss

toxic pewter
#

yeah thats what I do.. then a dude said I should go into the back of the church

harsh trellis
#

Dawnbreaker after the first boss is just church, pull outside on the right, then inside, then I pull the back patio of the church, then the inside then the narthex of the church, then 3 at the inn and then the backside of the pub

toxic pewter
#

ok

#

I guess thats the main issue

waxen frigate
#

Land on the back balcony

harsh trellis

SO the nice thing about that is that you know that purple ring you get?

toxic pewter

oh ok I land in front of church

Just land on the side.

does the 2nd mini boss always have 2 dudes with him

harsh trellis
#

yes

toxic pewter

ok

do u fight him inside the house or wat

harsh trellis
#

you fly right into the pub you pull the 2 things with the dude

#

I fight inside

toxic pewter
#

yes ok thats what I did

harsh trellis
#

cause I like to wreck the inside of houses

toxic pewter
#

oh and you fight inside the inn?

harsh trellis
#

yep

toxic pewter
#

ok interesting

harsh trellis
#

I put the boss in the middle with the 2 adds

#

and we just blow it up

toxic pewter
#

k i will do all this going forward

#

I get the rest of the trash around the fountain then pull 2nd boss

#

is that ok or wat u guys think

harsh trellis
#

I pull just 1 half of the fountain

#

because people will aggro it regardless

#

you know how you walk up to the pub from the back, theres the mini boss, and then a pack to the right and left? thats about it. You will be around 93.4 and the boss back on the ship will give you count.

between two same dungeons, with the exact same group, but not the same key level and not the same route, it's already hard to really get something of value

I thought about trying thane again when I get to +10+

I change back to thane for high keys, but for low keys and normal raids I go colossus

plush tendon

Im under the impression that colossus is more damage

Hey guys, so I found myself quite squishy on higher keys 10, etc. so I altered the build for more survival. What do you think? Am I loosting too much dmg? : CkEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYkBAAAAzMzwMmZMLzsMzMzCGDTjxYMDgFGD2YmZYgZMDAAAAAAYmZAALbLAGGYDWWMmxMAmNsZmNA any feedback for the build?

but thane is easier and gives more rage (thus, more defense)

change that out if you want more survivability

sorry for late reply I was sleeping. the 2 min CD thing I forgot, which makes it 22.5s/3 min compared to 32s/3 min, still almost 50% in favour of SC. I also don't see why you'd need to hold SC almost ever. SB stacks up to 3 charges, and you're never really going to have 16+ seconds of SB buff without using SC, so you can just send it. Only time you'd hold is end of pack because you don't want to be sitting with long duration SB up between pulls, but you'd hold LS in that case too so it's a tie.
