Dummies are not a good tester for trinkets. A lot of trinkets either don't work at all or are very shit against dummies.

graceful kite
#

i hate it

#

I really hate it and hate its design

#

that stat fluctuation is horrible losing stacks on use is horrible

sweet summit
#

i don't hate it

#

you have huge uptime on the strength buff

#

and the on use is spread damage so i only use it on bosses

strong forum
#

larynx is basically ara kara sac

#

but without static haste and instead the on-use dmg which gets buffed by 20% per stack you had of the buff when consumed

#

on average in sims the trinket consumes 4 stacks of its buff

tranquil charm
#

Swarmlord's Authority trinket is listed as C tier on wowhead trinket list but all top prot warriors use it
is it correctly rated?

shrewd ore
#

its the best defensive trinket right now

lament zealot
#

For 10+ keys is leech or avoidance better?

warm plinth
#

Avoidance is basically never better than leech for tanks. That being said, the only time tertiaries should come into your gearing decisions is if you're comparing two identical items

shrewd ore
#

leech

potent tree
lament zealot
#

Thanks. Mostly asking for the few enchants that give it

warm plinth
#

Ah, then yeah leech 100%

mr nome ive been playing with bloodsurge and i feel tankier okayge

It's the only tank trinket this season that does anything but it's still not a whole lot of useful things

Is this for M+ build? I think I just got rid of intervene for it and use the multi stormbolt

sweet summit
#

intervene owns

#

aoe stormbolt blows

bleak breach
#

I don’t think I’ve used intervene once, so dropped it.

strong forum
#

Aoe stormbolt 💀

#

Don't do that

warm plinth
#

In the words of my generation, intervene rules, aoe stormbolt drools

strong forum
#

Start using intervene it's op if used well

wicked pollen

insane external

wooden widget
strong forum
#

3 target stormbolt is useless 98/100 times

bleak breach
#

Hmmm, I might give it a go. Just didn’t really use it at all so was a wasted talent to me

sweet summit
#

it's always useful on first boss NW, can intervene the frontal to remove damage from the person targeted

strong forum
#

I use intervene on cd as thane

sweet summit
#

and with storm shield it's a great lil external

strong forum
#

Free magic absorb every 30 seconds

sweet summit

yeap

bleak breach

Who do you intervene? Just anyone?

wicked pollen
#

healer

bleak breach
#

I found it anyone to hit intervene then click the player.

sweet summit
#

whoever is in more danger

bleak breach
#

Annoying*

sweet summit
#

mouseover macro owns

wicked pollen
#

or someone being targeted with magic spell

bleak breach
#

Might be stupid, but will hitting intervene then clicking their party frame work?

sweet summit
#

ye

#

can also use target of target frame

#

for that

bleak breach
#

Okay, I will give it a try. Might make a macro or 2.
I’m sure it will be okay once I get used to it.

strong forum
bleak breach
#

If I intervene the other tank in raid during the tank buster do I get the debuff? I.e liquify on queen

strong forum
#

Yes

bleak breach
#

There goes that idea then, so more of a keystone thing

strong forum
#

Don't intervene your cotank unless you specifically want to eat their mechanic/melees

bleak breach
#

I could intervene to help with the dot after though yeah? Like with the magic shield

strong forum
#

Yeah

#

But it's just 500k absorb

#

Doesn't do a whole lot on a tank with 10mil hp

#

Is more an m+ help

bleak breach
#

Ahhh yeah, so better to save a healer or dps with.

#

Thanks

#

I will try it, just with how I was playing the other was more convenient for me.

proud dock
#

does intervene help even if something is already happeneing to the internvene target? like is someone is getting channeled on can i intenrenve after the channel start and itll still help the person? or is it only worth if u do it before hand?

strong forum
#

Magic channel, teh absorb helps yes

proud dock
#

got it thanks

strong forum
#

Phys channel, also helps if it's intervenable

inner wren
#

intervene is giga but i only know of the intervene tricks from watching people, do we got a list somewhere

strong forum
#

No list

zealous goblet
#

@strong forum mr nome sorry to ask you directly but i didn't get an answer and you're here now, does shield charge have a target softcap? it doesn't say on the skill "deals reduced damage past X mobs"

bleak breach
#

Here’s a super Chad question.
If I intervene a spell and spell reflect does that work?

inner wren
strong forum
#

SC is softcapped to 8 iirc

zealous goblet
#

cheers

#

one of the few 8s left eh

strong forum
zealous goblet

poor thunderous roar

bleak breach
#

Oh yep yep

strong forum

So unless that physical hit is reflectable

bleak breach
#

So it’s just for the magic absorb shield.

Any recommendations on best use of weapons for 10 NW?

I'm running double-on use in keys rn

strong forum
#

You can use 1 arcane orb for nerzhuda

#

To keep it interrupted

#

And maybe 1 orb on 2nd boss aswell on intermission to interrupt the casters to gather them up

graceful kite
#

use shields btw

strong forum
#

But beyond that you want all 3 spears for the 3rd boss

shields are good now

I’ve never really used mouse overs. So it literally just goes at who your cursor is on yes?

warm barn
#

saves a click/time in the long run

lusty grotto
#

just point the cursor at the party frame

bleak breach
#

Like if I’ve got the intercept/charge macro it will charge the enemy my cursor is on or intercept the friendly?

strong forum
#

You just press your charge button on party frame of your choice

bleak breach

And your intervene goes out

smh my head nome

target= can be changed as well

strong forum
#

There's a few redundancies in there but

#

Doesn't really matter

wooden widget

Just be careful you don’t miss your intervene and charge your current target at a bad time. That’s happened to me a time or two

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

has there been a loadout for highest dps for when i just want to blast content? i mean literally highest dps, no defensives needed.
"go dps!" i've never dpsed nor do i feel like learning i'd like to perma sit prot because i'm lazy but i need to do shit like:

i'd imagine colossus first off

And then just play ITF + 2 points in bloodborne

ye but i can drop shit like spell block and something else for extra bleed damage for example

thats literally it?

Thanks guys

strong forum
#

There's no "tanky" build that doesn't have good dmg

#

Unless you decide to do a stupid build

#

🙂

#

Tanks, except prot pally, are made so that your max dps loadout, is also still very very tanky

shrewd ore

actually picking all dps talents in pretty scuffed on prot war

and playing full dps

god i hate colossus

like being naked with socks on

Is there really a huge damage difference between colossus and thane in current build?

i like it

damn, I knew Guardians in Mists trucked, but this is kind of absurd

Not huge

for 9-10s its fun

But it is there

zealous goblet

i just hate how the rotational differences feel

tropic tangle

I think we had 5 in our maze, and they accounted for 18% of my damage taken

feels wrong to use revenge so much

hope they accounted for your damage dealt 🙂

Ok. I’ve played both but enjoy colossus more but haven’t seen too much difference in dps.

tropic tangle
#

yeah, good amount of it spell reflected too

lusty grotto

ye

strong forum
#

I mean I do over 1mil dps with both, but colossus is fun in the sense that it's just alot more Zug zug

Plays more like a dps than a tank

And it's fun to compete with dps

Why take thane over colossus if colossus is more dmg?

strong forum
#

Cuz thane is alot tankier

colossus in raid just feel kinda bad if you never have rage for ip for anything that deals dmg xd

Especially vs magic dmg

uhh not a lot of room

are you speaking about ST

i can only think of dropping rend since tclap is low on colossus rotation

just go to the talent calculator and pick this

Pray that your dps do their job aswell

my dps doesnt do their job well in most cases

i'm not soloing it exactly, and it's for stonevault mount. needs 3 trinkets. 1 from stonevault (dps)

make sure u move boss to the crossbow guy, only mob that doesn't move if u dont have dk

when reprisal return

lusty grotto

just stand at boss

and kill

not on shield charge

zealous goblet
warm plinth
#

I usually take the boss to one of them

#

And then dps have to actually turn their brain on for the other

lusty grotto
#

not your fault if they dont, go next key

cobalt wren
#

i usually taunt the melee and charge to the crosbnow guy

lusty grotto
#

change teammates

cobalt wren
#

so boss comes with me

lusty grotto
#

thats doing too much

#

dont coddle bad players

zealous goblet
#

yeah at a point you need to literally just trust your dps to do their job. even if you take disrupting shout that handles ONE pack out of like, the five that are gonna spawn. you can only coddles so much before individual responsibility is mandatory

south zealot
#

alternatively bring a dk with a brain

#

just need 1 person to play

cobalt wren
#

yeah i swaer i wish to have the blood dk grab in that fight everytime

#

i am puggin no teammates :D

lusty grotto
#

go next key

zealous goblet
#

just be the constant in your keys. say 5% of players are monkeys, then be the part of the 95% so you can do the keys more often on average

lusty grotto
#

ez

zealous goblet
#

you are 1/5ths of the team

#

and then make friends with people you deem human

cobalt wren
#

:D

#

i am a new player so i have 0 network in this game

#

its been like one and a half month

lusty grotto
#

yeah well

zealous goblet
#

ye that's fine, as i said, just work on being a constant good person so your keys are statistically more likely to go well

lusty grotto
#

your job as a tank is not to do everything, people have to pull their weight

#

if you coddle bad players they will climb keys without knowing what to do

#

i know it feels bad, but just go next key

cobalt wren
#

idk why but i feel a lot of responsibility tanking

lusty grotto
#

your responsability is routing and not dying

cobalt wren

deft raptor
#

as someone fairly new to tanking, im starting off in low level keys, is defensive stance something i should only go into with big dmg points or is it better to be in it all the time?

lusty grotto
#

the first one

#

but

#

as you climb keys

tribal wharf
#

first thing he was doing was trying to travel to the furthest north south east west points on all of the map then he went to top of sword with some guy

lusty grotto
#

you will probably be in dstance more, and swap to battle stance when there's no damage

cobalt wren
#

i should start doing

lusty grotto
#

its very minimal min maxing, you dont need to do it

shrewd ore
#

if ur new just stay in def stance whole key

its relative

cobalt wren
#

i thought you said 10s low you got me worried there :D

deft raptor

especially in pugs 😒

lusty grotto

10s is low for some of us

so fully relative

deft raptor

10s as fury im fine, 10s as a new tonk nono xD

cobalt wren
#

i see

lusty grotto
#

dont look too much into it

#

what high keys and low keys are, is full on relative for everybody

#

its a moving target, very personal to your character

#

and experience

#

of course, 14s are high to everybody

#

but that's beside the point

cobalt wren

i see

#

what is like max for now

#

15s?

lusty grotto

14s

14s are the highest key right now

globally

one last question, is there a website for finding teams like guilds or is that something i have to do in game

there are several discord servers

plenty of options

Do you ignore tc when you need to dump. And still shield slam on cd?

#

Got a question about siege. I've done like 20 runs and just wiped and bricked a key, DPS informed me that you need to walk on bombs before they explode on the first boss but the never had to do this

cobalt wren
silent sphinx
#

Should I be doing that? Have my teammates just been doing it and covering for me without me realising

shrewd ore
warm plinth
#

Well, ideally you kite the boss into the bombs when he's chasing the people

shrewd ore
#

dps can do with def cd or you do it

warm plinth
#

You meaning them

#

But if they won't make it, you should take it

#

Otherwise it does groupwide aoe

shrewd ore
#

I'd even say it happens nearly every fight if the spawns aren't really good on the first fixate

silent sphinx
#

People must have been absorbing it with defensive CDs without my knowledge

#

Honestly not been an issue this far until this specific run

lusty grotto
#

you dont need to walk into bombs

#

you can just kite mobs to it

#

and they take damage

#

its a better approach for this version

#

since they didnt take damage in BFA

shrewd ore
#

pretty good indicator is if the first fixate didn't trigger a bomb then you most likely have to trigger the 3rd one

lusty grotto
#

which results in chunking down a big add

#

especially if dps arent hitting them

silent sphinx
#

Heroic leap over a bomb to get one of the mobs into it then

lusty grotto
silent sphinx
#

Alright cheers

lusty grotto
#

if no adds are up though, by all means just walk through them

silent sphinx
#

Also you guy's dps also keep randomly pulling that first boss?

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

it happens in pugs, just reset it

i bought the hand mount from the traders

normally i would got for a shield but that one was too good

normally if i dont get a mount its cuz the mount is pretty bland or way over priced for what it is

hey guys, can someone share their stonevault route? for the speaker boss, the adds before him, do you clear the upper addds for the vers buff or just go straight through? Do you not clear the adds near the cart?

2nd of all i think you need mining or some shit

to actually GET the vers buff

im hearing warrior as well

is it weird if my cds arent lining up correctly for the raid collusus build?

No Colossus just sucks ass like that by design

i honestly think that colossus was more designed as a last minute think for arms mostly :S

more than prot

no u

maybe i'll play arms in raid, if its good dps

zealous goblet
#

hey guys humor me can anyone here find instances of a single trinket upgrade leading a raid to securing a kill

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

a single upgrade?

unborn sable
#

what should I craft as a reroll for raid prog. guild boosted me heroic and normal full clear and not a single weapon dropped haha or decent trinket. I've got 5pc luckily

lusty grotto
#

idk about that scatter lol

mighty valley
#

uhhhhhhhhh in all of wow's history it must have happened once

#

but i don't think there's been like

#

a high profile race decided by one trinket lol

lusty grotto
#

yeah but thats like finding a needle in a haystack

#

if it has happened its cause the overall dps fucking blows

zealous goblet
mighty valley
#

like every kill that happens 1s before enrage you could theoretically argue that one item would make the difference

zealous goblet
#

by all means

mighty valley
#

but it could be any item

lusty grotto
#

LMAO

zealous goblet
#

go as far back as you can if you need to

lusty grotto
#

you cant

zealous goblet
#

for the sake of an argument

lusty grotto
#

cause the upgrade system only showed up in DF s2

#

so thats like what

zealous goblet
#

my friend gave me cancer over me telling him that a single trinket lost is not going to make or break a kill

lusty grotto
#

3 tiers, and one awekened tier?

zealous goblet
#

in a raid setting

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

holy christ haha

mighty valley
#

yeah like

merry sluice
#

Scatter

#

I know you do well at this point

mighty valley
#

one player being more awake and having marginally better dps uptime is more important than that trinket

merry sluice
#

The moment you fucking asked that I knew you were asking over a friend /group argument

zealous goblet
#

i got timed out for 1 min for bad language oops

#

and yeah because it genuinely frustrates me that someone can be so adamant on something so silly

merry sluice
#

What’s the context that leads to this discussion

zealous goblet
#

random gossip about top guild drama that i really don't care for

#

about loot

#

i was just trying to say that one person getting mildly griefed on a singular trinket will not make or break a kill and more than likely it is the sum advantage of like, gearing over a week that will probably push it over

#

on several people

#

on top of just getting more skilled at the fight

edgy bone
#

Guys how do i pull throuygh the mist in tirna scythe? in the maze

zealous goblet
#

its weird

#

also mildly unsafe if people do it without comms

#

because obviously they're gonna have initial threat and you need to get the pack

mighty valley
zealous goblet

oh

lusty grotto

loot drama, so a dying guild

zealous goblet

probably

cause loot drama doesnt regularly happen in good guilds

zealous goblet
#

it's inherently dumb

Bet it was a heroic trinket.

yeah having loot drama in 2024 is wild

but i guess people havent experienced it

its happening consistently every time i pop avatar

tell them to not suck

void skiff

and not with one person like with everyone ive tanked with so far since starting the warrior

lusty grotto
#

shouldn't happen

#

they all just suck

#

warrior isnt something special, our dps is middle of the pack

#

if its happening they are just bad tanks that cant press their buttons, thats it

nothing to do with the class

Never really had that issue on the DK. But to be fair their initial opener damage isn’t front loaded because you have to wait for mark to pop so you don’t have a lot of snap.

For fresh prot warrior, should I craft 619 weapon or 619 shield?

lusty grotto
#

shield

wicked pollen
#

do not tank keys with a 545 shield 🙂

carmine solstice
#

Ok, I figured that, just wanted to check.

void skiff
# lusty grotto ilvl is not equivalent of skill

I see them having decent ilvl and tank io over 2.5k and I just seem to ignore the fact that being able to tank a key does not directly equate to being able to properly manage being 1 of 2 tanks in a raid. 🥲

carmine solstice
lusty grotto
#

when you see someone 2.6k rated in a raid

#

and they are not holding threat

#

150% of the time

#

its cause they are in M+ talents

#

500% of the time, i should say

inner wren
#

fact

lusty grotto
#

similar to having 2.7k rated dps doing dogshit dps on ST

violet ginkgo
wicked pollen
#

as my healer

#

but me dying was me not using cds because I had no idea how to play prot

I just got my third warrior to 80, so figured I’ll focus on tank optimization instead this time lol

I was doing 8s at like 600 maybe 605

Yea that sounds about right for a decent group

chat do i hold off on crafting 619 shield for chance at Heroic Queens dropping tonight? Had to reroll so i'm in very scuffed gear lmfao

#

Currently using a 580 shield 😉

wicked pollen
#

you might fall to queen

carmine solstice
#

I had enough Warbound gear to jump up to 587 instantly

#

lol

#

Queen definitely can 1 shot you at 60X with a 580 shield

carmine solstice
#

If you don’t want to use the tune, just make a 606 and recraft if you have to

farming gildeds on alts sucks ass

got like 100 more gildeds left to cap out on my alt warrior

unborn sable
#

should i craft haste/vers for raid prog as a fill-in tank? will be fine for m+ yea?

wicked pollen
#

haste crit

#

i dont think going for 1% vers to get 0.5% dr is worth

merry sluice
#

have to find a group that can even comprehend how to a single boss in the dungeon

wicked pollen
#

wdym find

void skiff
#

When I look at a raid log vs an M+ log what should my target uptime be on my different buffs?

wicked pollen
#

wdym target uptime

#

like hitting a mob

carmine solstice
#

I would think similar because CD on CD kinda thing

#

Rend/Dw/block close to 100%

void skiff
#

Ip should be as well?

mighty valley
#

don't worry about an IP uptime number, it varies a ton based on how much damage you're taking and when

#

if you have good cpm and minimal wasted rage, you're casting ip enough

void skiff
#

I feel like I’m over casting it by using the wowhead macro of it and shield slam together

#

90% of the time it’s not an issue but then all of the sudden I’ll notice a point or 2 in a fight where I go from feeling like I have absurd amounts of rage to not having enough and I panic for a second because I can’t hit IP or SB.

jagged pier
#

That macro shouldnt do that

#

It replaces your ip bind

#

You should still have a seperate ss bind

Brand new tank here, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. In a SoB 10, I was having a hell of a time with the bleeds in the early areas and then a poison that quickly stacked to 5 in the giant boss room. Any tips on the best way for us to approach that? Unfortunately we had no poison dispel.

be dwarf for bleed

#

have evoker for bleed/poison

Taunt is equally effective in battle stance and defensive right? And each stance does equal threat? Sorry if this has been asked before

lusty grotto
#

have poison dispel for poison 🙂

#

be dwarf for poison 🙂

wait i think i asked this before but idr, can you dodge singed steel in sob?

Hey lads, I don't prot a lot. Is this decent? I just got it from Zekvir husk and upgraded it. Idk if I should be replacing it when I can though.

The specific spell school things makes me think it's not that great.

When we get the proc for triple slam, is it always just send all 3 or is there a priority that usurps it attack wise outside of overcapping rage

lusty grotto

whats the context

#

raid or keys?

void skiff
#

Either

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

no

#

can you be more specific

south zealot

dont overcap thunderblast charges

zealous goblet

how much dps loss is it if i don't track them too well (not a meme)

lusty grotto

track what

zealous goblet
#

i've had to make my own damn weak aura for seeing red

#

i don't wanna have to make one for thunder blast

#

thunder blast mr.nim

lusty grotto
#

why dont you just download a prot warrior suite

zealous goblet
#

fuck, i might aswell. guess i'll go dig out the fucking spell id

#

i did

#

the one i like doesn't track it

lusty grotto
#

and it doesnt track TB charges?

#

yikes

south zealot
#

get atrocityui

#

figure it out

lusty grotto

nome tracks it

i use this one, i like it very much because the rage reminder to use ignore pain, and it has trinkets built into it

dark cosmos
lusty grotto

choco i dont think he wants to sub/pay for it lol

void skiff
#

Slam procs buffed thunderclap, buffed thunder clap procs triple slam, after 1 slam I’m already getting another buffed thunderclap which I can either wait 2 more gcds to get the extra slams in and then send it or I can run the risk of getting another triple slam proc if I send it after the first slam and lose out on 2 free ones because I got another proc that over rode the first one

south zealot
#

probably not

zealous goblet
#

i REALLY like the one im using now, it really helped me learn prot in retail

south zealot
#

but $5 until it breaks and $5 more to fix it every couple months

#

worth to me

lusty grotto
#

tell the author to add it in then

#

in that Wago page

void skiff
#

I’ve noticed the slam proc getting over rode and missing out on the ones I didn’t use because I got another proc by sending a thunderclap.

lusty grotto
#

shouldnt be too hard

void skiff
#

That’s why I was asking

zealous goblet
#

do i need to make an account? i'm sick of how many accounts im needing to track

#

i do

#

FUCK

lusty grotto
#

do you know password managers exist

zealous goblet
#

that's racist as fuck

#

i do

#

it's still a colossal pain in my ass

lusty grotto
#

i see

zealous goblet
#

it's fine shouldnt be too hard to make a small quick one and slam it into the buff bar

lusty grotto
#

i cant answer it without knowing

#

there's no one size fits all for prio

#

you do not care about TB in pure ST

void skiff
#

Ok so then 2 answers one for m+ and one for raid

lusty grotto
#

even over capping

#

you just send SS

#

you want to TB to clear stacks, SS, TB if at 2, SS, TB if at 2, SS, TB if at 2, and so on

#

2+ targets you outburst TB

#

and forget about SS

#

like choco said you dont want to hit an SS with TB at 2 stacks

#

you will overcap

#

if RNG blesses your SS to provide a TB charge

#

thats gonna be a TB stack eaten

#

gone, dead, deleted

#

thats for aoe

#

so thats both cases

#

tl;dr
ST = SS to clear the triple
AOE = dont cap TB, so send TB

#

and remember to send any TB stacks before you Avatar

#

any and all
