I’ve shifted completely away from damage towards helping the healer basically
I see its one that mistveil defender does, but I can't think of the actual ability
At least in pugs
It's called "Expel"
they nerfed rage generation...
The first boss in NW you can intervene the puke and not stand in the blast.
Right sorry. I meant is it one of the green circle abilities? Is it noticable?
Mmmmm, that will make my healer happy. Thanks!
Yes Mountain Thane is broken now
Well I'm outta here. Thanks all for the advice!
Just means we can't spam ingore pain all day, but that much more damage... damn.
I already felt broken playing mountain thane lol
They really want Warriors as Prot this expac.
I’m here for it. Friends trying to gaslight me into dps to get into heroic raid. I refuse.
is mastery really gd for colossus?
it's good yeah, all stats are good
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?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/ChdgvGDWArMbN7LH#fight=last&type=damage-taken&source=2 managed to get 94.73% blocked hits, but got tilted mid key, could have been a little higher
can someone help with talent builds? what is the "safest" talent build for pushing +10 keys
i see so many different builds on raider.io
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?
the safest talent build for pushing +10s is getting a healer duo with a braincell 😭
or a dps with one kick bound at all...
i got a healer, just want to make it efficient
yoda for example plays like a totally different thane build
The one with battle scarred veteran instead of ravager and with heavy repercussions
from what I understand, its super important, not sure if its more important than wep though 😅
I still don’t totally get why people play double shield wall instead of the rage+time reduction one
hahahaa omfg u had me dying my guy
so tru
all the supposely kicking abilities not been pressed by those vast vast M+ enjoyers
It’s easier to play
people make choices, not always good ones
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
it is what it is
Guys I don't care about my shield block uptime, I just want to do big fucking damage how do I go about this
play bear
Play Arms
Don't tell me what to do
Play Arms
play arms
Is anyone else getting a tick of obsidian beam every cast, no matter where they stand?
Because sometimes you need two walls in quick succession, these are just completely different talents timing wise. It's not like we're basing it off a 10 minute how many walls can I use sim, that's not how tanking works
the initial hit is a tankbuster
if it hit u for liek 5 m its tank buster
yes
somewhat hidden part of that ability
appreciate ya'll
do sims consider the 33% damage nerf of dd trinkets?
#updates-midnight message read the title
Or the first paragraph
Any good snaps?
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"
Tfw when u tried to understand what has Shield Charge and some random chick from bar in common ..
Inexperienced Prot here - stuck at 70-75% max SB uptime
when talking to women I always open with shield charge, that way she knows I brought protection
Any intermediate rotation tips for increasing that?
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
Ok thank you
Yeah this seems very dungeon specific and not a great default option for most of the player base /channel
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
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
The breakdown talks about Arms and Fury, for prot I'd expect these to be positive changes as well as the rage nerfs are pretty small and we're drowning in rage generally
Am I right in thinking that?
Is there a situation we'd take the second node point of Endurance training? I assume pushing hard keys.
Was wondering the same thing. Seems like a pretty significant rage nerf to me though
But I’m kinda dumb so idk
Defensively we're usually overcap spamming IP anyway just to dump it
its generally a buff
Offensively it would slightly impact Seeing Red/AM but I don't think that much
the rage nerf doesnt means much
Sick
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
spending a talent for for 5% stam sounds god awful
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
Spell Block 30s now
Xalatath sent me feet
Your question was 'i don't get why people do this", I said why people do it
😩
is this enough haste
no
figures
need at least 60
if your shield block does not have 6 minutes duration after a 2 minute fight you need more haste.
real and true
Real warriors run 0 haste
real warriors apparently like getting onetap clapped in 13s
Does shield block have a max duration?
triple its base duration, yes
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
Does binding of binding count as an embellishment or not
you guys cant lie, shit looks nice
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?
How good/bad is the heal from Siphoning Lightbrand?
U don't have engineering combat ress keybinded?
Goes hard to heroic leap on the corpse of my fallen healer and do the warrior ress
tbh i have never heard of that
last time i did eng on warrior was in hardcore at lvl 60 with training dummies lmfao
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?
ew
ui check rn 😠
Its not symmetrical so my ocd hates it. Also consider making your buttons wide-screen ratio instead of same boring normal square that takes up too much real estate
can you give me an example of the buttons
Isnt it like few sec cast?
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
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
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
I pop cds usually for it
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
Should be same, otherwise demolish specifically noting that you can is weird
God I miss this
Ignore pain auto applying from dmg done
what classes u guys reroll now that war is dead?
Ppal , cant be worse than it was till now so its a win
Wait why is prot warr dead
Is not, its a joke
prot pal #1!!!
what are the thoughts on the buffs/nerfs for prot?
guys can anyone send me their protection weakaura, also a weakaura or doc that tracks this expansion's spell reflects, I'd appreciate it
more dmg, less tankiness in thane, more dmg and more tankiness in colossus
but nothing signifcant
bet,
im guessing consensus would be stay thane for keys upt +11. Then twelve swap to collosus for the tankiness
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 .
He meant colossus is getting tankier relative to colossus now, not that it's going to be more tanky than thane
What? Read a message above
I was responding to the guy you were responding to?
I didnt respond to anyone specific cuz iwrote 2 different messages
But this is what i was talking about
Cuz they arent people
Yes, which I assumed you were responding to, which is also what I responded to
man the quality of m+ people has fallen
But colosus is geting tankier isnt same as colosus is tankier than thane , is it ?
Thats a huge difference
im getting the bottom of the barrel
11s is the farm key level now
below that much more likely to find people who dont know what their w key is
That's what I said: colossus being tankier doesn't mean it's tankier than thane.
But the person literaly said that and even used specific key lvls where to use what , which is also completly wrong . U can play low or high keys as both its up to you
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..
has anyone gotten delve maps from ? zekvir?
i want to spam it for chipadin but delve maps would be solid
Not sure its even possible to get it there, but then again ive seen 2 maps in total so its maybe just me
hmm
But last week i did like 5 kills on him and got nothing
doing a mythic tank run raid
what potions do I need other than
Algari Healing Potion"
Cavedweller's delight
I thought those 2 don't share
whatever you need idk
guides have a consumables section
whatever you use for keys
Hp invis combat not much u can use realy
invis?? you guys dont have 200 DF invis pots?
What invis pots are we using BTW
whatevers cheap
which is probably DFs
hushed zephyr
4g each in NA AHs
idk about EU
Last time they were like 7 iirc
Did anyone sim how much increase damage we will have?
And tww ones were around 20-30 i think
I'm very confused what you're talking about at this point.
Its w/e , point was that there were 2 statements and both were wrong
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
Kaia seemed to misinterpret Jawor's message as colossus now being tankier than thane
I was attempting to correct that misunderstanding
no, but i dont use target=mouseover i use @mouseover
still doesn't work 😭
Yeah other than the macro being character heavy, it should work.
ive tried so much syntax
Because ;Intervene makes it so it'll intervene his target if he has no friendly mouseover.
just do /cast [@mouseover,help,exists,nodead][] Intervene;
It's the same as []
yeah
Yes , but even then , what she said ( or misunderstood , or even meant ) will be wrong , because even if she tought it correct thane tankier than colo, then the key levels she used would be wrong, u dont play one in that range and this in other ..
But it should still work
just add the empty condition
Well I assumed that they were using the +12 affix as the cutoff
macros have been fucky
of wanting to be tankier
remember when i had a problem with not having empty conditionals
I'm gonna give you an empty conditional here in a second
But even then she would mean that thane 12s and colo up to 11s which is also wrong
elvui is probably to blame but its an easy fix
What? This says thane up to 11 and colo after
Which is why I even commented in the first place
this isnt working either 😔 , i don't understand bc this syntax works for a decurse for example but if I plug in intervene it only works if my cursor is over the actual character but not the raid frame
ive never had this issue before
Question
Yes , and even if she misunderstood and mean it vice versa it would still be wrong , do u get it ?
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
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 ..
She wasn't advising that; she was asking if that was the consensus.
I literally just said that sir
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"
honestly with how cringe blizard are
i would've expected them to make df invis pots not work post 70 lol
Yeah it's weird they didn't
One of the enchants works past 70 too I believe
The boots one iirc?
W/e , my point stands but we arent geting anywhere
Boots and chests still works
@lusty grotto it's bc im using m5/m4 keybind, something is wonky with those
i see
but the macro works as you provided
i suppose yours will work too
Oh, yeah WoW doesn't like those buttons
ok... pugs sucks
Just use your mouse software to rebind the button to like ; or something
and it should work
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?

That's how higher keys works these days
People are there for time to get score because most don't need the loot.
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
Yeah basically
Tag it as weekly run, so people that need score wont join and those who need vault will stay
bru
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
a death of two here or there doesnt make the key untimable
Ofc it doesnt, but are u going to explain that to some randoms?
naw, they are cringe
Ive timed 10s with ~10deaths
im just dumbstruck
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
im sure this may have been answered already but whats the better spec between colossus/MT or is it just play style preference?
In what content and which difficult
heroic raiding and mythic + thats 10 or higher
i havent even tried colossus
I’ve been having a lot of fun with colossus in heroic raids
MT just feels way too good
also heroic raiding is a joke compared to keys right now
Yeah not sure I feel comfortable enough to play colossus in like 10s right now. Maybe soon may try though
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
failed to time a NW 10
got blame from healer saying I didn't pull enough packs together
I am doing 1M overall dps
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
Would be curious what other dps looked like or how many deaths there were if u had 1m as tank and still didnt time
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
Yea thats probably it ..
i'm a firm believer in blacklist addons
blizzard really buffed pala tank damage
and reduced ours
pala already does a lot of damage
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*
Yea but pala has a talents tradeoff
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.
true
He can either live or do good dmg
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
Simmable i believe
OMG
why the fck we get nerfed
You know why.
Nvm u need it for spear
seems like just rage nerf
sucks but not like
(tbf i didnt use LS generates rage talent anyway)
ik everyone does
no wtf
Its either nothing or slight buff for thane*
how is it a buff
dmg buff
They are buffing dmg ?
ohh but they are also mega nerfing it too?
U loose some dmg on rage gen u gain some on raw dmg buff
Mountain Thane: Thunder Blast generates 8 Rage (was 10).
this is like a 20% nerf
oof I just read the updates so we got some rage reduction on MT, but extra damage.
quick question on mists
the pack before the second boss
TRUCKKKKK
can someone explain them?
they do big dam
spell reflect anima slash, the other anima spell block it
It's a wicked quick cast, so try to have spell CD on nameplate or a reflect WA for it
it will prevent you from getting fucked
if you manage to reflect a slash it does a decent chunk of their HP
What iLvL do yall think is needed for m+ I’m getting from +4s at 608
similar to reflecting Shadowflame Slash from the Flamerenders in grim batol, but their ability is much stronger
590 for anything up to 7
i was running 7s at 580
Only shame they are always desinced
I guess people are just picky it’s crazy
prot warr is very strong and with proper CD usage you should have 0 issues in anything below a 7
@rugged sable and @tawdry herald I think he mean about if pugging, ppl just don't want to accept 590 to 7
I wouldnt either tbf
if you have "decent" score for the key level people dont care about tank ilvl
he asked what ilvl to be on +7 comfortably aka you don't have to get rejected too much
pugging it's always get as high as possible as their usually is a few with 610+ now
"needed" to me means "what do i need to tank this successfully"
if youre asking what you need to get invited
Should easily now be able to get to 606 with delves and upgrading.
just depends on whose key youre applying to
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
tbf as they would be
run your own key and make friends
I need to start getting people added
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
just queue for 5's / 6's and get your score up IF you already have everything on 4 IF NOT play your own key as high as you can people will join since you are a tank anyway.
just accept that you wont go from timed 4's and 3's to getting invited into 7's and 8's
no?
too much
that talent should not exist
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
the default m+ build takes pretty much every defensive talent already
i dropped shield charge for bolster and disrupting, never going back. 2 min LS with 20 seconds of shield block is just too good.
Tbf whenever we can opt for more dmg means we should just tank higher keys lol
i just wish there were more defensive options in our class tree
30 sec every 90 sec is weird
i just keep a good tracker for it
I mean pack would last 30 sec anyway
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
30 secs is good though I mean rarely we see defensive that is powerfull and last 30 secs
does this update help grind down web terror on zekvir ??
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?
wym by this
grind down web terror?
nm ill just test it myself
you make it sound like you cant drop BSV and keep bolster
im having trouble understanding why you would ever drop below 30% as the tank
hm? not sure if i mistyped, hang on
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*
there are likely a few high value talents youre not running if your choices are BSV and storm of steel
share your prot tree
i have never run BSV and ive been timing 11s
why does your friend think you need it
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
Theres nothing wrong with bsv but theres better ways to spend that point
there is no issue chief
well you asked for advice on where you should put that point
just a misunderstanding
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
all g
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
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
The amount of times I've wanted to SR something and it's 1-2s left on CD kills my inside
what did you drop for it
This is what I run for m+
which talent is that
the default build takes sidearm, that looks like the only difference
Probably swap bounding stride out for M+ too.
i havent even looked at sidearm damage to see if its worth
I seen sidearm was so low on % damage that I just dropped it for utility
yea i should really dump bounding
lord knows i aint got hotkeys left for stormbolt tho
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
guys is it worth to drop enduring alacrity for bolster? starting with +12s
I don't think so? I mean that is extra armor and health and haste that is always on
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
it just feels like dropping a fun talent for necessary ones imo
went on an alt and into a shitter +2 .
Got called a hacker for suddenly appearing in front of the dungeon by someone trying to summon me
lmfaO

the free shield block on entry and the big rage is so nice tho
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
any good explaing why roar over spear?
For raid?
m+ sry
oke so not the rage generation for higherkeys like +12
I go roar because Im an idiot and aiming is for chumps
just put it on a @cursor macro so you can cuss and scream when you place it on a wall or ceiling
Or put it in a @player macro
Rly feel mous cursor macro is the best for spear
whens prot getting nerfed
how much dmg reduction is vulpera racial anyways considering making a vulpera resto shaman
Get straight out of here pffd
Brann inturpts and/or u literally dont press avatar until u get a spit.
what trinkets u guys use for m+? i see skarmorak shard is high in more targets . and many ppl talk about arakara trinket
What's haste % for 100% shield block uptime?
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
Sitting at 24 here and I don’t have an issue keeping it up 😉
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%
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
So am i
35-40% unbuffed
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
They loose a lot of damage for it
We aren't close to 35-40% haste yet without basically dumping all other sec stats
U basically dont chain pull
^
Gice them 2 seconds to restealth if they dont thats on them
Or omnicd to track their vanish
I didn’t think Omni cd
That's why some pug rogues such as Zerocool go for double vanish even though it's technically worse
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!
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

Ty Ty
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
got 2k io at 600 ilvl 
Trying to decide what stats to put on my crafted bracers... crit/haste sims slightly highes dps.. but not sure.. currently at 10,465 Crit, 10,633 Haste, 1,988 Mast, and 6,241 Vers... what are you guys doing?
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
Stats after haste dont matter pick what u like, but apart from haste there no certain % of any stat we really care sbout

Includes smallies but still

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

TL;DR: not chaining to let the assa rogue restealth not worth it according to assa guide author
yea... this is simple case of the dude playing the spec wrong
at least the fix is easy

Way to much revenge instead of tc for thane
i have to watch more than 30 seconds of that video. this is 2024, attention spans don't last without a fmaily guy clip on one side, and very bad subway surfers gameplay on the other
in fairness, hes not playing Thunderlords
45 second cd
with the move
Hes under using everything some check the sheet
Anything spell blockable ither
Cause he aint pressing spell block at all
He wasn't talented into it for most of the night
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
tell him if he cant live, you need to find other options at tank
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
Change talents, he needs to mitigate stuff properly with proper talents that might help
But he still needs to play correctly woth them
What does spell block work on for that boss?
I asked someone to check
your tank cant be the 2nd most dead person
Pinned spreadsheet
dope
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 
If he just presses everything it might help
I dont think execute talents matter a lot
Just give him the tbane punish build from wowhead for raid as he should really be running that for prog
hes dying on Rash
It does on rasha if u going for damage
Problem is not using cooldowns and literally not blocking
But he shouldnt ve going for damage
and no punish
not keeping Shield block up
he just needs to play basics and stay alive
Looks to me like he doesnt understand the fundimentals enough to be going for dps builds
As in core gameplay problems
whatever it takes for him not to be floorpov
What cooldown can you effectively get shield wall down with the 6 second decrease from using shield bash?
there are two wolves inside of me, one loves tanking, other one hates learning routes hhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrr
With proper play around 40-50secs
Just press w
Will cover u for a very long time
Since the beginning 👴
Your name + how you speak reminds me of someone I met in a guild on Azsune back in cata
was a fury warrior main
Wouldnt have been me
damn imagine
Id rather not 

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?
ask for external if you have no cds left

Its ash from the burning nelth did in cata

maybe orc just cuz they look good in armor compared to the smol races
Whats your ilvl tanking it? It kinda sounds like you're eating liquify + feast and the other tank is like "lol full hp"
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
I don't think the other tank is slacking because he's killed this boss before and most likely knows what to do.
I have 612ilvl.
I just cant imagine you popping active mitigation and getting deleted from a liquify at 612. It'll still hurt but it shouldn't evaporate you
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%
Colossus already swaggy though
I press demolish
I wildly dont understand warcraftlogs as prot
Is this implying there's prot warriors out there doing 600-700k dps reliably or some nonsense
Look at the big number
All padding on whatever they can
So if I'm not actively padding I guess I shouldn't give af lol
In relation to demolish; just saving every CD for adds
In raid or what?
That's a m9 ara for example
Oh
Then yes people do a lot more in m+
I have no idea how if I'm deadass
That's fine
e.g. shield slam is never sitting off cooldown/etc
Link the log, will help
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 
Just for comparison of Ara-Kara's over the weeks
Could be your ilvl too tbf
There might be some of that. If I had to guess the obvious I'm overusing ignore pain
Boss dying speed can also influence dps overall but now I'm just being nitpicky
No I'm 99% sure it's a me issue lol
Avg person in an 11 could be twice as good as ppl in a 9
617 atm.
I doubt it's ignore pain personally, I favour it over revenge often
yes
I was doing 100k-200k more dps than you at 595 ivl but that's dungeon dependant
False
How did choco get a streamer tag 
620+
You're not the average player
Details is wildly inflated I feel
This guy is doing 400k at 617 he has way more to learn than lol just do 1m overall
im the best colossus m+ warrior streamer west of the rocky mountains
Idk where people get 1mil from, I'm like rank 50+ on some keys, and I don't think my details says 1mil tbh (but maybe I'm just not looking)
He's spouting nonsense
1m overall ??
can you link this log
Me when I exclusively play with 2700 io ppl that do every pack perfectly 
I suspect I'm misusing rage
At the quickest glance you're not pressing buttons
Press avatar on CD
my shield slam and thunderclap keys are literally falling off my keyboard from use I dunno LOL
wasnt trying to hit a nerve my fault
I have like 120+ casts on every offensive ability you pressed
80 more shield slams
I also lashed out sorry 😔
Maybe it's a haste thing? I feel like my haste is kinda shit
Are you pressing ignore pain as if it's on the global cooldown?
hit more abilities
even as colossus your shield slam should never higher
as thane it should be SIGNIFICANTLY higher than revege
revenge
What to do if my phalanx hurt from too much spam
can someone need weakaura on spell reflect alert? so i know what and when i should use it??
I have ignore pain on mwdown on a macro that'll shield slam in stead if it's avail
I can't speak on that as the concept of using mouse wheel as a key shuts my brain down
But I also press like 60% of my buttons with shift and I hit shift with my left thumb
mwup shield block mwdown ignore pain 😂
I tried it when Kwazii (spelling?) suggested it on a YT vid and It just stuck
Quazii also man I love that guy but that's gross
I need to log my keys 😔
If you have an ability up hit it
Whatever it is
If it's a cooldown hit it
did quazzi suggest ignore pain macro keybound to mwheel down? 😄
If it's shield wall in a pack hit it and then just do damage
So takeaway is try and keep avatar off cooldown more and shield slam more. Could this be a function of haste? I'm only at like 20%
What is teach me
no idea
@teal laurel thunderblast/clap more
Stop over thinking kt
15cpm should be your goal for shield slam
Genuinely my man just hit the buttons
Never think about it
No clue, 33% less casts seems a lot even for haste
dont overcap rage, use shield slam whenever possible
Lol I suppose. It's less that I'm overthinking and more just having shield slam/tclap on Q/E and I mash those like they owe me money every fight
Do not put pain on E
?
You want to be able to press it simultaneously
I'm very biased
Tryna press 2 keyboard buttons at once
Yea? I can hit E and any other ability in the same global
Not optimal
My tanking is mwup/mwdwn + q/e spam lol
That makes you sound like an npx
i have iPhone on x
No wonder u don't deal dmg
Hahaha
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
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
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 ❤️
me about to bind avatar to literally every key I swear
😂
It might be worth making a sound WA for it to prompt you
I did that with defensive because I was under-using
Now I don't need the sound
I get where you're coming from but this is a non issue for me personally
I'll make sure I log a key tmrw so I can see my cpm 🖥️
Big spider hands
Not even
why do you care about children per minute
yoyo guys
No reason ..
how to gear my 560 ilvl prot warrior fast?
Toxic but I hope it's a green log for the memes
make a 590 weapon, buy a 400g 577 darkmoon deck, do delves
Do mythic 0s and press every button you have to avoid ending up stinky
100% fair hope I don't blame u
Hahaha
bountiful delves if you have the keys are good as hell
should i do delves as group or solo?
send it solo
560 can solo t8?
I would skip delves asap
there's a small learning curve
Tea has done 9s on vdh
Jump straight into mythic 0s
I found the problem and you're gonna think I have brain damage
Id also like to know
I'm so excited
Spot the problem
I had my dysfunctional crappy macro in use when it wasn't supposed to be lol
So in moments where I'm not mouse-hovering it wont fire the shield slam
Now what if u just pressed shield slam Normally
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?
I found this because I was planning on just slapping avatar on shield slam lol
If you do 1h and shield, yes
😂
Functionally it should be the same but because I require my mouse over a target for it to fire with this macro. In moments where I'm not doing that my Q/E spam wasn't working and I was too potato to realize
ddoes that then let me upgrade 2 x 2h to 636
I need to clarify I am a giant hater of how you play and believe it's directly leading to the 400k overall mindless pressing buttons and scrolling ur mouse wheel with weird ass macros
Forgive me that's just my honesty
same with trinkets too right?
I don't think I have a single mouse over macro outside of intervene on my warrior
Tryna think
They removed any item slots shenanigans in TWW @potent herald
yeah
You make it sound like I'm just spinning my mousewheel up and down rapid fire. The Q/E mashing sure hapens but not what you think, I think lol
holy time to take a break
ilvl 571 in 20hrs playtime lvl 80
Beast
ok imma make delves group
What is on q and e
Got one of those unlocked scroll wheels, and just set it spinning from dungeon enter
so if u upgrade sheild
it upgrades off hand wep
hopefully i wont die at 560 ilvl
Why are u not doing keys
Put ignore pain on E and this will solve so many problems

But u have a lot to begin with
Are you coming at this from a "ease of pressing" perspective? e.g. hand position
my q and e are on the bottom
Don't listen to this man, I promise your keybinds are fine
JA CLAPPA

I was asking about the hand position thing because my mouse is on the left of my kb and I use wasd territory with my right hand 😂
Like look at this bricked setup
He needs to press IP and Thunderclap/blast at the same time
Panic ensues
middle finger on 3 first finger on e
Terrible
I bet I pump harder then you do ngl
How are you moving
We can take that Pepsi challenge if you want
If I'm ahead tho, it's not a good look, I'm fresh back from a break since SL Season 1, I've not played Warrior since Wrath and I have never tanked in retail in my life until now
i just hit lvl 80 today with warrior i got 5 lvl 80s lol
Then why you talking, we can't even compare 😭
i was maining guardian druid ilvl 615** 2200 mythic io but guardian druid is so fucking boring
2200? Lol
I'm 2.6k on my warrior atm
pressing 2 buttons at the same time is easy 4 me
prot tank?
do /played
I'm not at my PC
/played is pointless
includes all the afk time
look at lvl + played lol
this must be the weirdest flex of all time
why are u valuing this at all
just go to io
what the fucking shit
it will tell u
Good thinking
What embolishment u guys go for for mplus?
cause if someones been playing since M+ came out
double lining
"not pushing"
this is what a 8 year old would brag about at the playground
genuinely
what the fuck
Okay but you said "I bet you pump harder than I do" and I'm currently 69th All Stars for Damage
i mean im 2530ish form just filling vault
Pushing as in, I haven't even entered a 12 yet

Literally this
