#

Which ability is that?

real fossil
#

I’ve shifted completely away from damage towards helping the healer basically

radiant path
#

I see its one that mistveil defender does, but I can't think of the actual ability

real fossil
#

At least in pugs

lucid bough
#

they nerfed rage generation...

tulip oar
#

The first boss in NW you can intervene the puke and not stand in the blast.

radiant path
#

Right sorry. I meant is it one of the green circle abilities? Is it noticable?

radiant path
simple drum
#

Yes Mountain Thane is broken now

radiant path
#

Well I'm outta here. Thanks all for the advice!

tulip oar
#

Just means we can't spam ingore pain all day, but that much more damage... damn.

solid cargo
#

I already felt broken playing mountain thane lol

tulip oar
#

They really want Warriors as Prot this expac.

smoky anvil
#

I’m here for it. Friends trying to gaslight me into dps to get into heroic raid. I refuse.

night oracle
#

is mastery really gd for colossus?

sweet summit
#

it's good yeah, all stats are good

night oracle
#

because of the lack of rage gen we rely more on crit blocking more to compensate maybe?

#

so not as many ignore pain would have to be pressed i guess?

green bronze

#

can someone help with talent builds? what is the "safest" talent build for pushing +10 keys

raven steeple
#

Hi hi, I have two questions: All things being equal, but I can only choose one, should I upgrade my sword or board first? (I have two same lvls now, and can make a 12 level higher crafted one, but only one). And also I had a read but couldnt work this out; why does Mountain Thane make taking Champion's Spear better?

merry sluice
#

the safest talent build for pushing +10s is getting a healer duo with a braincell 😭

#

or a dps with one kick bound at all...

trim basin
#

i got a healer, just want to make it efficient

#

yoda for example plays like a totally different thane build

#

how important is shield ilvl to us?

#

should it be priortised?

raven steeple
#

from what I understand, its super important, not sure if its more important than wep though 😅

real fossil
#

I still don’t totally get why people play double shield wall instead of the rage+time reduction one

night oracle
#

so tru

#

all the supposely kicking abilities not been pressed by those vast vast M+ enjoyers

jagged gust
graceful maple
#

excuse f-ing me i just checked the Top1 Heroic Queen log and wanted to check why mine is at 50% - the number 1 prot did over 1million DPS on queen? and in a 9min boostrun too - what i cant even scratch like 900 on sikran

jagged gust
#

it is what it is

lament prawn
#

Guys I don't care about my shield block uptime, I just want to do big fucking damage how do I go about this

graceful maple
#

same actually 😄

#

i want 1mil dps on queen too

Don't tell me what to do

somewhat hidden part of that ability

appreciate ya'll

#

do sims consider the 33% damage nerf of dd trinkets?

lone eagle
#

Are those new changes reposted hotfixes?

#

Namely these ones

lusty grotto
jagged gust
#

Or the first paragraph

dark cosmos
jagged gust
#

SC made some stupid change so now it's spamming my notifications lately with shit like "That random chick from the bar just posted a new story"

neon elk
#

Tfw when u tried to understand what has Shield Charge and some random chick from bar in common ..

wanton oak
#

Inexperienced Prot here - stuck at 70-75% max SB uptime

jagged gust
#

when talking to women I always open with shield charge, that way she knows I brought protection

wanton oak
#

Any intermediate rotation tips for increasing that?

jagged gust
#

Press SB and spec in to HR to put it simply

#

A problem a lot of new tanks have is tracking their SB buff, they'll let it fall off and forget to press SB until their HP starts yoyoing

#

Find yourself a WA to track the buff and put it somewhere very close to your character so you have a harder time forgetting

wanton oak
#

Ok thank you

real fossil
jagged gust
#

And that's why it's not recommended here, because that situation doesn't currently exist

#

but people make their choices, and some people need their security blankets to feel safe

#

it's like stacking vers

south zealot
#

the issue with double wall talent is that its just less shield wall uptime

#

when used correctly

#

i dont think ppl quite get that

#

if you understand youre losinf wall uptime, go dor it

lone eagle
#

Am I right in thinking that?

winter shard
#

Is there a situation we'd take the second node point of Endurance training? I assume pushing hard keys.

mystic stag
#

But I’m kinda dumb so idk

lone eagle
#

Defensively we're usually overcap spamming IP anyway just to dump it

lusty grotto
#

its generally a buff

lone eagle
#

Offensively it would slightly impact Seeing Red/AM but I don't think that much

lusty grotto
#

the rage nerf doesnt means much

lone eagle
#

Sick

lusty grotto
#

MT added insane rage gain in this exp

#

we were already swimming in it in DF which means without it

#

so its whatever

#

means nothing

#

damage buff, so overall buff

jagged gust
lone eagle
#

Yeah that was my take Nim

#

I feel like current Pwar would roll over DF S1 pwar

#

Rage gen is NUTS right now

#

Demo is strong, d stance is strong with minimal downside

Good SRs

dont make me get back on the job

long bronze
#

is this enough haste

south pond
#

no

long bronze
#

figures

round cliff
#

need at least 60

south pond
#

if your shield block does not have 6 minutes duration after a 2 minute fight you need more haste.

long bronze
#

real and true

rigid yew
south pond
#

real warriors apparently like getting onetap clapped in 13s

rigid yew
#

Sheeeet I'm getting clapped in +7s

#

I'm still rocking some greens

round cliff
#

well

#

thats why probably

#

consider not having greens

lusty grotto
#

just run greys

#

no armor piece will be able to hold your massive balls if you do

sharp epoch
#

Does shield block have a max duration?

lusty grotto
#

triple its base duration, yes

pallid quiver
#

So 18 base, 24 with enduring defenses

#

The latter of which you should almost always have

#

The only time you don't grab it is if you're doing an execute focused build in raid

edgy bone
#

Does binding of binding count as an embellishment or not

wintry gate
#

you guys cant lie, shit looks nice

neon elk
#

That poor E button must have a lot of pressure on it

#

Also wtf is that f8 and how is it comfy to press ? Mount i guess?

heady cobalt
#

How good/bad is the heal from Siphoning Lightbrand?

deft mortar
#

Goes hard to heroic leap on the corpse of my fallen healer and do the warrior ress

wintry gate
#

last time i did eng on warrior was in hardcore at lvl 60 with training dummies lmfao

deft mortar
#

I want to make it target nearest player too up next

#

Becomes rly hard to click

#

Oh it doesn't require engineering, it's a consumable

#

Made by them

oh shit fr?

I'd rather cast for a few seconds than risk wiping lol

#

My healer is a resto druid so if he dies I must cr

zealous goblet
#

i'm not sure how it is in retail

#

but in classic you can't block/dodge/parry while casting/channeling

#

so i wonder if brezzing with cables is fucking dangerous

#

aside from the obvious "not casting other stuff" part

ornate thicket
#

Not on but some screens i had saved

#

Unfortunately omnicd i haven't found a way to wide ratio but weakauras and elvui you can easily

deft mortar
#

But also it can I think fail and kill you (it did in Drsgonflight)

#

I had the embellishment to avoid that tho

#

Also it's a 2 sec cast so heroic leap and cast it's fats

deft mortar
#

God I miss this

#

Ignore pain auto applying from dmg done

inner wren
#

what classes u guys reroll now that war is dead?

neon elk
#

Ppal , cant be worse than it was till now so its a win

stray knoll
#

Wait why is prot warr dead

neon elk
#

Is not, its a joke

dark cosmos
grim vapor
#

what are the thoughts on the buffs/nerfs for prot?

lone hearth
#

guys can anyone send me their protection weakaura, also a weakaura or doc that tracks this expansion's spell reflects, I'd appreciate it

neon elk
#

Pins and/or guides has both

#

Well not sr wa i guess but sheet is there for sure

hardy snow
#

but nothing signifcant

grim vapor
#

bet,

#

im guessing consensus would be stay thane for keys upt +11. Then twelve swap to collosus for the tankiness

neon elk
#

What? Xd

#

Thane is still tankier than colo

#

No matter key lvl

#

Also idk if saying "more dmg less tankiness" is exact , as less rage affects both dmg and tankines .

warm plinth
#

He meant colossus is getting tankier relative to colossus now, not that it's going to be more tanky than thane

neon elk
#

What? Read a message above

warm plinth
#

I was responding to the guy you were responding to?

lusty grotto
#

overall buff to both

#

whoever was asking about the changes

neon elk
#

I didnt respond to anyone specific cuz iwrote 2 different messages

neon elk
grim vapor
#

moral of the story is stay thane then

#

thats all i really care about

neon elk
#

No?

#

W/e

steel mist
#

how are ppl failing simple mechanics on NW

#

i dont get it

neon elk
#

Cuz they arent people

warm plinth
#

Yes, which I assumed you were responding to, which is also what I responded to

steel mist
#

man the quality of m+ people has fallen

neon elk
#

Thats a huge difference

steel mist
#

im getting the bottom of the barrel

inland raft
#

11s is the farm key level now

#

below that much more likely to find people who dont know what their w key is

warm plinth
neon elk
#

Like that whole statement was bad and even if that person ment it the other way ( 12s up thane till then colo) its also wrong..

lusty grotto
#

has anyone gotten delve maps from ? zekvir?

#

i want to spam it for chipadin but delve maps would be solid

neon elk
#

Not sure its even possible to get it there, but then again ive seen 2 maps in total so its maybe just me

lusty grotto
#

hmm

neon elk
#

But last week i did like 5 kills on him and got nothing

lusty grotto
#

i forget the name of it

#

i just dont wanna do bountifuls

#

zekvir goes fast

heavy sparrow
#

doing a mythic tank run raid

#

what potions do I need other than

#

Algari Healing Potion"
Cavedweller's delight

lusty grotto
#

dont use cavedweller

#

they share with combat pots

#

share cd*

heavy sparrow
#

I thought those 2 don't share

lusty grotto
#

algari healing pots dont

#

cavedwellers do

heavy sparrow
#

I have someone in my group with an AH mount

#

what should I buy

lusty grotto
#

whatever you need idk

#

guides have a consumables section

#

whatever you use for keys

neon elk
#

Hp invis combat not much u can use realy

lusty grotto
#

invis?? you guys dont have 200 DF invis pots?

quiet zenith
#

What invis pots are we using BTW

neon elk
#

Its still invis pot isnt it ?

#

Cheapest ones u can get

lusty grotto
#

whatevers cheap

#

which is probably DFs

#

hushed zephyr

#

4g each in NA AHs

#

idk about EU

neon elk
#

Last time they were like 7 iirc

high wyvern
#

Did anyone sim how much increase damage we will have?

neon elk
#

And tww ones were around 20-30 i think

lusty grotto
#

im sure nome will at some point

#

its probably not huge, but a buff is a buff

warm plinth
neon elk
real echo
#

does anyone have issues with intervene macro not working when hovered mouse is hovered over a raid frame?

/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Intervene;Intervene
warm plinth
#

Kaia seemed to misinterpret Jawor's message as colossus now being tankier than thane

#

I was attempting to correct that misunderstanding

lusty grotto
real echo
warm plinth
#

Yeah other than the macro being character heavy, it should work.

lusty grotto
#

you have intervene twice there

#

why

real echo
#

ive tried so much syntax

warm plinth
#

Because ;Intervene makes it so it'll intervene his target if he has no friendly mouseover.

lusty grotto
#

just do /cast [@mouseover,help,exists,nodead][] Intervene;

warm plinth
#

It's the same as []

lusty grotto
#

yeah

neon elk
warm plinth
#

But it should still work

lusty grotto
#

just add the empty condition

warm plinth
#

Well I assumed that they were using the +12 affix as the cutoff

lusty grotto
#

macros have been fucky

warm plinth
#

of wanting to be tankier

lusty grotto
#

remember when i had a problem with not having empty conditionals

warm plinth
#

I'm gonna give you an empty conditional here in a second

neon elk
#

But even then she would mean that thane 12s and colo up to 11s which is also wrong

lusty grotto
#

elvui is probably to blame but its an easy fix

warm plinth
#

What? This says thane up to 11 and colo after

#

Which is why I even commented in the first place

real echo
#

ive never had this issue before

lusty grotto
#

thats certainly strange

#

are you using base game ui?

warm plinth
#

Question

neon elk
warm plinth
#

Do you have other macros that work? Like other mouseovers

#

I really don't

#

People are welcome to think that you want to swap to a tankier hero tree when keys gain a jump in difficulty

#

And some may feel more comfortable doing so

#

It's not wrong; it's just an opinion

#

Obviously it wouldn't be a consensus in here though

neon elk
#

Nothing wrong with people wanting to play tankier one in higher keys , but there isnt any reason to not play tankier one in lower keys , so she/he shouldnt advice that

#

Also thane is pretty much dame dmg than colo wheb played incorectly which tbf most will do

#

And on top of that opinion isnt consensus ..

warm plinth
#

She wasn't advising that; she was asking if that was the consensus.

#

I literally just said that sir

neon elk
#

But there isnt any question? Xd

#

She wasnt asking it, she said it

warm plinth
#

I mean you just ended a sentence with a space and two periods. People don't always type correct syntax.

#

Like this is the most nitpicky shit ever idk

#

She said "i'm guessing"

merry sluice
#

honestly with how cringe blizard are

warm plinth
#

Which generally is asking for confirmation of the guess

#

in this context

merry sluice
#

i would've expected them to make df invis pots not work post 70 lol

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's weird they didn't

#

One of the enchants works past 70 too I believe

#

The boots one iirc?

neon elk
#

W/e , my point stands but we arent geting anywhere

neon elk
lofty warren
#

does it though?

#

does it REALLY?

real echo
#

@lusty grotto it's bc im using m5/m4 keybind, something is wonky with those

lusty grotto
#

i see

real echo
#

but the macro works as you provided

lusty grotto
#

i suppose yours will work too

warm plinth
#

Oh, yeah WoW doesn't like those buttons

plush tendon
#

ok... pugs sucks

warm plinth
#

Just use your mouse software to rebind the button to like ; or something

#

and it should work

plush tendon
#

me and my friend do our first pug 10, we get a couple of deaths on a pull and key is dead apparently?

#

what is this game?

carmine rain
#

That's how higher keys works these days

carmine rain
#

People are there for time to get score because most don't need the loot.

lusty grotto
#

i mean it happened in DF, the only difference now is that it happens sooner because of the 15s shit

#

instead of in 17s, it happens in 10s

carmine rain
#

Yeah basically

neon elk
toxic pewter
#

I kinda like how it costs 15 seconds per death makes the stakes higher and if a group doesn’t have what it takes it ends the run more efficiently

plush tendon
#

a death of two here or there doesnt make the key untimable

neon elk
#

Ofc it doesnt, but are u going to explain that to some randoms?

plush tendon
#

naw, they are cringe

neon elk
#

Ive timed 10s with ~10deaths

plush tendon
#

im just dumbstruck

spiral ridge
#

anyone have that meme that was sent about the learning curve for m+ i keep telling mates about it. how it was a straight line for the 1-20 system now it has spikes

fossil glade
#

im sure this may have been answered already but whats the better spec between colossus/MT or is it just play style preference?

quiet zenith
fossil glade
#

heroic raiding and mythic + thats 10 or higher

tawdry herald
#

i havent even tried colossus

toxic pewter
#

I’ve been having a lot of fun with colossus in heroic raids

tawdry herald
#

MT just feels way too good

#

also heroic raiding is a joke compared to keys right now

toxic pewter
#

Yeah not sure I feel comfortable enough to play colossus in like 10s right now. Maybe soon may try though

tawdry herald
#

you can play whatever you want but you want MT in high keys, i think its a lot more durable

#

id rather walk into a heroic clear at 580gs than try to time a 10 key at 620 ilvl

#

the latter is noticeably difficult and the other is nowhere close

deft mortar
#

failed to time a NW 10

#

got blame from healer saying I didn't pull enough packs together

#

I am doing 1M overall dps

tawdry herald
#

yeah dont you know youre supposed to chain pull the gatekeeper and double pull the marauder and miniboss?

#

🙄

#

people get on the internet and become subhuman i swear

neon elk
#

Would be curious what other dps looked like or how many deaths there were if u had 1m as tank and still didnt time

deft mortar
#

They already died 11 times to rando mechanics before my first death on a trach pack before the 3rd boss

#

and that happened after some1 pulled another pack from impatience

neon elk
#

Yea thats probably it ..

tawdry herald
#

i'm a firm believer in blacklist addons

marsh otter
#

blizzard really buffed pala tank damage

#

and reduced ours

#

pala already does a lot of damage

deft mortar
#

Pala also doesn't have the resource trade-off between survivability and dmg

#

I mean I guess Thane players don't have that

#

More avengers shield = more aborb

#

absorb*

neon elk
#

Yea but pala has a talents tradeoff

scarlet stone
#

Last CoT 11 I basically had a balance druid dead 50% of the run and we timed it lol. 7 deaths in 15 minutes then another 3 by last boss.

deft mortar
#

true

neon elk
#

He can either live or do good dmg

deft mortar
#

I love how one of our class talents is just like

#

Here's 5k strength

#

its form your armor

#

Wonder what % dmg increase that is

neon elk
lofty warren
neon elk
#

Or ? Is it crucial to get lower ?

#

Not sure

lofty warren
#

why the fck we get nerfed

hexed fox
#

You know why.

neon elk
#

Nvm u need it for spear

deft mortar
#

seems like just rage nerf

#

sucks but not like

#

(tbf i didnt use LS generates rage talent anyway)

#

ik everyone does

lofty warren
#

how much of a nerf is this

#

aka is pwar dead?

deft mortar
#

no wtf

neon elk
#

Its either nothing or slight buff for thane*

plush tendon
#

yea, prot war is dead

#

reroll prot pal

lofty warren
#

how is it a buff

remote frost
#

dmg buff

neon elk
#

They are buffing dmg ?

lofty warren
#

ohh but they are also mega nerfing it too?

neon elk
#

U loose some dmg on rage gen u gain some on raw dmg buff

lofty warren
#

Mountain Thane: Thunder Blast generates 8 Rage (was 10).

this is like a 20% nerf

neon elk
#

20% on one spell

#

U using only TB to get rage or what?

violet ginkgo
#

oof I just read the updates so we got some rage reduction on MT, but extra damage.

sonic crown
#

quick question on mists

#

the pack before the second boss

#

TRUCKKKKK

#

can someone explain them?

rugged sable
#

they do big dam

tawdry herald
#

spell reflect Anima Slash

#

press Spell Block

#

youre welcome

violet ginkgo
#

spell reflect anima slash, the other anima spell block it

rugged sable
#

It's a wicked quick cast, so try to have spell CD on nameplate or a reflect WA for it

sonic crown
#

so spell block

#

well fuck them?

tawdry herald
#

it will prevent you from getting fucked

#

if you manage to reflect a slash it does a decent chunk of their HP

small comet
#

What iLvL do yall think is needed for m+ I’m getting from +4s at 608

tawdry herald
#

similar to reflecting Shadowflame Slash from the Flamerenders in grim batol, but their ability is much stronger

rugged sable
tawdry herald
neon elk
#

Only shame they are always desinced

small comet
#

I guess people are just picky it’s crazy

tawdry herald
#

prot warr is very strong and with proper CD usage you should have 0 issues in anything below a 7

violet ginkgo
#

@rugged sable and @tawdry herald I think he mean about if pugging, ppl just don't want to accept 590 to 7

tawdry herald
#

fair

#

i wouldnt either

neon elk
#

I wouldnt either tbf

remote frost
#

if you have "decent" score for the key level people dont care about tank ilvl

violet ginkgo
#

he asked what ilvl to be on +7 comfortably aka you don't have to get rejected too much

rugged sable
#

pugging it's always get as high as possible as their usually is a few with 610+ now

tawdry herald
#

"needed" to me means "what do i need to tank this successfully"

#

if youre asking what you need to get invited

rugged sable
#

Should easily now be able to get to 606 with delves and upgrading.

tawdry herald
#

just depends on whose key youre applying to

violet ginkgo
#

ok so +7.... what ilvl and what rating?

#

on average

tawdry herald
#

if you got a late start you probably wont have any luck in 7s below 610 and ~2k io

#

people are picky

#

and everyone has more gear than you

stone moat
#

tbf as they would be

tawdry herald
#

run your own key and make friends

small comet
#

I need to start getting people added

tawdry herald
#

WoW is a social game and requires socializing if you want to grease your experience and get the most out of it

#

make friends, run keys with them

#

join a guild

neon elk
#

Go to goldshire spend gold on hoes

#

Or not that kind of socializing ?

remote frost
#

just accept that you wont go from timed 4's and 3's to getting invited into 7's and 8's

heavy sparrow
#

hey big chad sexys

#

what tips do you guys have for Ulgarx mythic

lofty warren
#

is this a dead key?

#

im only 615 ilvl

stone moat
#

no?

urban portal
#

that talent should not exist

tawdry herald
#

you will need to rotate wall+reflect and a healer external+reflect for the 1st boss for every beam

#

2nd boss will need the same for every tankbuster

#

rashanan is basically just a healer fight

#

should be doable at 615 but youre gonna get chunked, make sure you know how to press impending victory

#

make sure you have spell block for the trash pulls in the courtyard, and i recommend disrupting shout if you dont talent it already

deft mortar
#

It's ez dungeon

#

Just get more defensive talent if worry about dying

tawdry herald
#

the default m+ build takes pretty much every defensive talent already

deft mortar
#

Idk tho I got 11M hp

#

Cruising through mechanics

tawdry herald
#

i dropped shield charge for bolster and disrupting, never going back. 2 min LS with 20 seconds of shield block is just too good.

deft mortar
#

Tbf whenever we can opt for more dmg means we should just tank higher keys lol

tawdry herald
#

i just wish there were more defensive options in our class tree

deft mortar
#

Spell Block feels so bad

#

It's so awkwad

tawdry herald
#

i wouldnt say that

#

33% uptime

deft mortar
#

30 sec every 90 sec is weird

tawdry herald
#

i just keep a good tracker for it

deft mortar
#

I mean pack would last 30 sec anyway

tawdry herald
#

pop it on caster packs like you pop wall

#

by the time you notice its gone the mobs are dead

#

i dont even think about it anymore and just press the button on cd on pull

violet ginkgo
#

30 secs is good though I mean rarely we see defensive that is powerfull and last 30 secs

vapid relic
#

does this update help grind down web terror on zekvir ??

zealous goblet
#

problem, my healer friend pleaded for me to go BSV, so i went BSV and bolster and while i really don't care about BSV bolster is really feeling better than sex so what do i do

#

i hit like 36 seconds of shield block left and my dopamine receptors wouldnt stop firing off

#

do i take the point out of BSV and put it in like, storm of steel or some shit or just keep running bsv?

zealous goblet
#

grind down web terror?

merry sluice
#

yes

#

adds are way easier top kill solo

vapid relic
#

nm ill just test it myself

tawdry herald
#

im having trouble understanding why you would ever drop below 30% as the tank

i bit further down i ask if i should just take the point out of bsv and put it elsewhere, maybe storm of steel or some shit

#

a bit further down*

tawdry herald
#

there are likely a few high value talents youre not running if your choices are BSV and storm of steel

#

share your prot tree

zealous goblet
#

brother i'm saying i'd like to keep bolster

#

and drop bsv

tawdry herald
#

i have never run BSV and ive been timing 11s

#

why does your friend think you need it

zealous goblet
#

i feel like there's a serious miscommunication going on, i'm saying it felt so fucking good to see my shield block duration go so far up

#

and also idk

tawdry herald
#

you literally asked if you should drop BSV

#

yes

#

whats the issue

inland raft
#

Theres nothing wrong with bsv but theres better ways to spend that point

zealous goblet
#

there is no issue chief

tawdry herald
#

well you asked for advice on where you should put that point

zealous goblet
#

just a misunderstanding

tawdry herald
#

im asking you to share your tree so we can give said advice

#

if youre thinking about putting it in storm of steel, that's also a poor choice

#

but u do u

zealous goblet
#

im in a league game

#

sorry bro

quasi pivot
#

Anyone else notice that if you take the 5% SR/Pummel CDR talent you can spell reflect every anima slash, but if you don't you just miss every 2nd one?

#

I think that talent is criminaly underrated

tawdry herald
#

i havent even tried that

#

it would work for the timing on shadowflame slash too then, those are the same

#

fuck im switching right now

quasi pivot
#

The amount of times I've wanted to SR something and it's 1-2s left on CD kills my inside

tawdry herald
#

what did you drop for it

quasi pivot
#

This is what I run for m+

quasi pivot
#

Honed Reflexes,

#

I sub it out for Second Wind when doing world content

inner wren
#

o i always take that one

#

its pretty goated

tawdry herald
#

the default build takes sidearm, that looks like the only difference

quasi pivot
#

Probably swap bounding stride out for M+ too.

tawdry herald
#

i havent even looked at sidearm damage to see if its worth

quasi pivot
#

I seen sidearm was so low on % damage that I just dropped it for utility

inner wren
#

yea i should really dump bounding

#

lord knows i aint got hotkeys left for stormbolt tho

quasi pivot
#

Crackling Thunder is also a swapable one, I just like the extra range on it for spread out packs

#

I have Pummel on R, Spell reflect on Shift+R, and Storm bolt in Ctrl+R

#

So anything interrupt/reflect centric shares a common key

#

Pummel uses a focus macro, and SB uses an on-hover macro, for things like bolting the Freeze tag mob in mists etc

quiet zenith
#

guys is it worth to drop enduring alacrity for bolster? starting with +12s

violet ginkgo
#

I don't think so? I mean that is extra armor and health and haste that is always on

tawdry herald
#

i was advised to drop shield charge since its the most flexible 2 points we have

#

i honestly havent missed it at all

#

bolster + disrupting not being in the default m+ build is tragic, they feel almost necessary in high keys if you pug

#

the aoe interrupt just trivializes any difficult caster pulls

#

i feel like my biggest weakness is stacking pulls when you need multiple ranged interrupts and this just covers it completely in 1 convenient cooldown

inner wren
#

no shield charge is so sad

#

it's so convenient

#

but disrupting is really nice

tawdry herald
#

i have a pretty standard opener so i dont miss it

#

charge + avatar/demo/clap + block

#

the rage is nice but you dont strictly need it, it just helps stack IP faster

inner wren
#

maybe i'll mess with it

#

there are many instances where i wish i had disrupting

quiet zenith
#

any good explaing why roar over spear?

devout basalt
#

For raid?

quiet zenith
#

m+ sry

devout basalt
#

Spear for m+

#

Thane gets more from the crit bonus iirc

quiet zenith
#

oke so not the rage generation for higherkeys like +12

trim island
#

I go roar because Im an idiot and aiming is for chumps

tawdry herald
#

just put it on a @cursor macro so you can cuss and scream when you place it on a wall or ceiling

dawn sapphire
#

Or put it in a @player macro

devout basalt
#

You'd have to be standing on top of everything for that

#

Wouldn't recommend

quiet zenith

Rly feel mous cursor macro is the best for spear

What's haste % for 100% shield block uptime?

tame locust
#

Will the upcoming nerfs to Thorims Might change the talent choice? Doubt it, but maybe somebody here already did some calcs

#

Don't quite understand why VDH is getting buffed and prot warrior nerfed though

candid yacht
#

Sitting at 24 here and I don’t have an issue keeping it up 😉

jagged pier
#

We dont work in uptime we work in blocked hits but its achieveable now with any % haste with the correct talents, with certain other talents u need 67%

wary karma
#

Oh, I was talking moreso for M+ than raid, I'm not at all worried about raid uptime. I just wasn't sure if there was a breakpoint where Into the Fray was gonna be a swap to make

jagged pier
#

So am i

tame locust
#

Wasn't the breakpoint in DF 35/40%?

#

candid yacht
#

Any of yall get gripped at by rogues for not letting them stealth lol I wish I could make a WA to ping when rogue is in stealth vs having to look for the frail undead character

jagged pier
#

They loose a lot of damage for it

tame locust
#

We aren't close to 35-40% haste yet without basically dumping all other sec stats

jagged pier
#

U basically dont chain pull

tame locust
#

^

jagged pier
#

Gice them 2 seconds to restealth if they dont thats on them

tame locust
#

Or omnicd to track their vanish

candid yacht
#

I didn’t think Omni cd

tame locust
#

That's why some pug rogues such as Zerocool go for double vanish even though it's technically worse

wary karma
#

That sounds a lot more like a later in the expansion thing than it does a current thing. Sounds like I'll be sticking with repercussions for now! Thanks!

tame locust
#

Also as warrior you want the rogue to stealth cause assa rogues can silence mobs out of stealth for 6 seconds

#

Since you don't have any pull ins, that can make larger pulls incredibly comfy

candid yacht
#

Ty Ty

tame locust
#

It can be annoying at first though, omnicd or communication with your rogue is important

#

Cause assa rogues can be extremely strong but if you don't know when you could chain pull, then you can also lose some serious time

Does anybody have a good prot war log for Mythic Rashanan as far as cd usage/ignore pain and shield block? Our tank war is having some problems living it. Based on my xp war tanking in heroic and m+ it looks like he isn't managing his ignore pain and other cds well. He's dumping a lot of rage into revenge and isn't boosting IP before the ads spawn. I'd like to be able to go through and point out some specific stuff to focus on. Here are our logs from tonight. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/bQ7vH3mzZNJAD2BL#boss=2918&difficulty=5&wipes=1&type=deaths

plush tendon
#

im sorry... what?

#

Prot War on Rash is just stonks

Includes smallies but still

#

if hes dying, he shouldnt be playing ITF and massacre

#

like, wtf dude

jagged pier
#

Not even blocking every svaage assault

#

No wonder it hurts

#

That deals unmitigated damage to the tank in the wound dont it?

#

Thane and not playing spear

yea... this is simple case of the dude playing the spec wrong

Yer so 4 thrn

#

It should be

#

unless lining it with adds

jagged pier
#

Hes under using everything some check the sheet

#

Anything spell blockable ither

#

Cause he aint pressing spell block at all

blazing dawn
plush tendon
#

also no punish

#

he needs to drop his execute talents

blazing dawn
#

I know enough to know that he's doing a ton wrong, what I need is what can I do to get him to do it right

plush tendon
#

tell him if he cant live, you need to find other options at tank

jagged pier
#

Well i suggest he doesnt run this cooked build or the actual execute build until he understands the class and the fight and how to mitigate and manage cds correctly

plush tendon
#

like, im sorry

#

but thats the truth

blazing dawn
#

Yes I've looked at his spec and immediately recognized the issues lo

#

l

jagged pier
#

Change talents, he needs to mitigate stuff properly with proper talents that might help

#

But he still needs to play correctly woth them

blazing dawn
#

What does spell block work on for that boss?

jagged pier
#

I asked someone to check

plush tendon
#

your tank cant be the 2nd most dead person

jagged pier
#

Literally on the big tank mechanics

#

Cause its phys and magic

graceful kite
blazing dawn
jagged pier
#

I mean giving him this info wont fix it evern giving him the correct talents wont fix cause i doubt he'll play correctly under the guidance

#

63cpm seramore

graceful kite
#

If he just presses everything it might help

plush tendon
#

the advice

#
  1. drop the execute talents
#
  1. press buttons
graceful kite
#

I dont think execute talents matter a lot

jagged pier
#

Just give him the tbane punish build from wowhead for raid as he should really be running that for prog

plush tendon
jagged pier
#

It does on rasha if u going for damage

graceful kite
#

Problem is not using cooldowns and literally not blocking

jagged pier
#

But he shouldnt ve going for damage

plush tendon
#

and no punish

#

not keeping Shield block up

#

he just needs to play basics and stay alive

jagged pier
#

Looks to me like he doesnt understand the fundimentals enough to be going for dps builds

graceful kite
#

As in core gameplay problems

plush tendon
#

whatever it takes for him not to be floorpov

Hi guys.
Im not very experienced tank, so im struggling to tank Queen Ansurek on Heroic in 1st phase. Usually when another tank pulls the boss, after he gets [Liquefy], I taunt and immediately use [Shield Wall] and [Last Stand] to mitigate the incoming [Feast] damage and healing absorb.
So next, right before the upcoming [Liquefy], I should use my [Spell Block] to mitigate most of nature damage from that ability, and the other tank should do the same as I did before.
Am I thinking correctly, or am I making a mistake with my action sequence? Because I usually die right before or after the second switch of tanks, but the other tank seems to be in perfect shape. Of course there could be some gear and build issues, but putting that aside and just looking at the actions, is this the right approach?

so 1 question are the buffs on colossus enough to make it better in m+ than Thane is ? or thane will still be the go to

dusky narwhal
teal laurel
#

Do you have logs? You can easily see what killed you

#

I suspect it's something less obvious outside of the other tank getting you killed.

#

Standing in pool? etc

#

The other thing is maybe you're just not mitigating enough. Demo shout, spell reflect is another 25%

icy flax
#

I press demolish

teal laurel
#

I wildly dont understand warcraftlogs as prot

icy flax
teal laurel
#

Is this implying there's prot warriors out there doing 600-700k dps reliably or some nonsense

icy flax
#

Look at the big number

teal laurel
#

So if I'm not actively padding I guess I shouldn't give af lol

icy flax
#

In relation to demolish; just saving every CD for adds

teal laurel
icy flax
#

Oh

molten gorge
#

Then yes people do a lot more in m+

icy flax
#

Mythic+ is not padding

#

You're damage is stinky rn

#

Let's get that number up

teal laurel
#

I have no idea how if I'm deadass

icy flax
#

That's fine

teal laurel
#

e.g. shield slam is never sitting off cooldown/etc

molten gorge
#

Link the log, will help

teal laurel
#

I just can't really spot the active problem

#

one sec

icy flax
#

Ppl in here can review your logs to help a lot( I can't) but the biggest thing I can tell you and other ppl will is if you aren't pressing a button you're not doing enough

#

Are u pressing ignore pain when you're at full HP and not actively dying for example when u could revenge ragey

molten gorge
#

Could be your ilvl too tbf

teal laurel
#

There might be some of that. If I had to guess the obvious I'm overusing ignore pain

icy flax
#

Boss dying speed can also influence dps overall but now I'm just being nitpicky

teal laurel
#

No I'm 99% sure it's a me issue lol

icy flax
#

Avg person in an 11 could be twice as good as ppl in a 9

teal laurel
#

617 atm.

I doubt it's ignore pain personally, I favour it over revenge often

I was doing 100k-200k more dps than you at 595 ivl but that's dungeon dependant

Are you pressing ignore pain as if it's on the global cooldown?

hit more abilities

dont overcap rage, use shield slam whenever possible

icy flax
#

In a super casual guild I know they have a ppal that does that and he does about 80k st when they do raid

#

He genuinely just hits 1-4 with all his fingers at all times

molten gorge
#

Ya because they're all too close together to hit optimally

#

You don't want to use the same finger in succession to hit two back to back spells ideally

#

Like you wouldn't want to press E and R in a row with your index finger, because it's slower than say E > V

#

Etc

dusky narwhal
# teal laurel I just cant imagine you popping active mitigation and getting deleted from a liq...

It is quite difficult to determine the exact cause of death from the logs, because even though you were killed by [such-and-such spell], you still have to take into account all the buffs and debuffs, whether another tank was taunting before it, and so on. But as I noticed, I often got killed by melee attacks after [Liquify].
But I'm more interested in whether I have the right approach. If it's not a problem, I'll just try again and pay more attention to the details.
Anyway, thanks for the advice and comments ❤️

Guys I got a question re war within and upgrade system

So im a prot warrior at current and lets say I spend 90 gilded crests to craft my 636 shield.
Does that then enable me to upgrade my 2h weapon slot for fury to 636?

teal laurel

so I have to spend 180

IF i just do the fury 2h

teal laurel

ddoes that then let me upgrade 2 x 2h to 636
