no way its real
bro pressing alt 5 in the span of a stonevault despoiler tankbuster cast
Ain’t no way you are doing alt 6 homie
one sec
id uninstall
Literally insane
ill log in and screenshot
ye believe it
i need to see what sorts of movements your hands are capable of
My thumb doesn’t do that
World’s youngest arthritic or giant handed freak
alt modify is one thing, but alt 6 for our most pressed spell
You decide
there is no way alt-9 is pressble by humans
quick, noob here: if my vault gave me the choice of 4 set (I have 3 rn) and sacbrood, which one do I take?
i simply dont believe you
you need to use right hand
SS on 1 and TC on 5
Bro must be pressing the right alt key with his right hand
take off mouse press alt 9
Lmfao
oh so hes mouseless i see
Who hurt you
@strong forum
doom style

Yo which do I take?
Are myth track shoulders supposedly rare?
This goes to everyone not just Nome
Is Larynx not cracked?
No that’s hot garbage
myth shoulders imo
sim honestly, 4pc isnt that good anyway
The BIS list is really poorly written then
If you don’t haven’t shoulders I’d go myth shoulders
Oh sorry for Prot it might be alright trust nome before me I’m just a frequent chatter
It’s shit for fury no doubt
Ya Idrc about fury anymore
They kind of fucked my favorite offspec on it
shoulder is not that good for prot? but still a sim question
i use em though
myth
Either way I’d pick shoulder if you do not already have myth shoulder
cause both arms and fury like it
if u mythic raid i would take trink
hell, this weeks key affix must be fun for a BDK
shoulders drop from rash anyway
timing everything at 11 now
those shoulders in particular in his vault you mean? i agree but nothing in that vault is that good imo
cuz they can heal like crazy
meat hook is good
hooks ok
they are bad
but yeah should sim i guess
kraken = octopus = siege
the problem is there is a better shoulder
siege bad
the ones from CoT
Also better trinkets no?
sim, at best
Does Prot use hook that much?
its ok
its replacable by mythic raid trinkets
yeah thats my point
Exactly
so i would pick shoulders tbh
That’s why I recommend shoulders personally
Gear ilvl > trinket ilvl
i mean if youll truly never get a raid trinket maybe hook is good but even then id need to look at them all
still i say shoulders
Specially for tank
True
its, skill trinket
That's where I'm in agreement
its a toss up
Skill is never an issue with me
I'm leaning shoulders for what yall are saying
i would send sim, but there's a big caveat
cuz, no main stat all the time buff, and you have to get stacks, that dont reapply the buff, which grants you all the damage
larynx and hook simmed the same there
and so, if you use it wrong time
your fucked
you have just equipped carrot on a stick
Woop didn't actually see that, the icon is so small
Tru
like imo hook stands up against all trinkets apart from mythic raid trinkets, and shard/khardros
i guess the only way to answer it is, which one would you take advantage of more right now
you can think about those trinkets vs other beter trinkets too
if u dont like larynx get hammer and sac
Hi chat what is this thing should i use it
like ya you dont have a sac right now but you could
and then you put this trinket in the garbage
feelsweird
I mean hook rn
Obviously
feels best
a new trinket to replace the RAM?
then send it
what do u have now
compared to what
and have longevity
i mean dont just have an unequipped trinket slot, if thats the question
there will be other vaults i guess
ya the shoulders arent bis either to be fair though, although definitely not bad
id take shoulders personally
basically i have nothing i am just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it
you have 2 choices for off-set shoulders, CoT and those
so
pick shoulders, then hope for trinkets again
its not good but if its the best u have use it
the effect is mid, vers is mid, use it til something better comes along
is colossus more competitive for raid now (or does it still lag behind for m prog)?
@strong forum hi
Went w shoulders
gzgz
dont catalyze em
Colossus is always better in raid
Oh dw I know that much
Hot fuckin garbage itemization on those shoulders
bring back reforging
They'll never listen to you
when did that happen
Since beta
logs change
like i told Scatter, week 1 logs dont mean shit
Colossus does perform better
but beginning of a tier
you will always encounter unreliable data
in logs

so here's a question, how are you guys simming so low versus a 20 year old boss? you know i heroic throw patchwerk for 20mil right?
ok
haha get it patchwerk is a naxxramas boss
that one made me laugh
gotem
That's clever
here you go 🪙
fling enough shit on the wall and eventually something sticks
that or you drop your standards enough to enjoy me
You should apply to be the new warrior class dev with that mentality
3 hunter key, i wonder why
8% buff lets gooo!!
You'd fit right in
if they read auto mod i'm fucked
Colossus is also better in terms of damage profile because of the fact that not only is sustained damage higher, it has way higher burst
and specifically on add fights, that introduces a large amount of control
it doesn't stop you from using cds, just from moving
or uh, a frontal, rather, not a tank buster
i feel like if you're worried about that you're at a point in prog where you also need to survive
Ya just don't cast it when you need to move
yeah i meant to say a frontal
shoutout to the 2nd pack of siege pulling all my teammates in into a frontal with no reaction time
most based way to brick a key
Not always, but I'm not raiding this tier so I'm operating as a spectator
oh yeah, would never find myself in that situation after having 2 entire seasons of practice with a similar ability, nope
so the bit of extra tank dmg with colosus would be outweighed by survivability
bro was I your tank?
Ya I mean as with everything it really just depends on how fast your DPS kill shit, and how well your healers play
no im the tank
but literally all my dps died lmao
i had heroic leap i was fine
like the 4 ez bosses are about 65% colosus, but broodtwister and beyond is 100% mountain thane atm
80% of the bottlekneck you will experience as a tank player, historically speaking, comes from your healers
Dude
Scroll down
@merry sluice need you to hit me with that mists pull ss
scroll down?
To see your top 100 on broodtwister and kyv
Hah I read that wrong, thought you said 2nd boss, a fdk literally just yanked both adds into melee and blew the entire group up
Whether that's because they're compensating for DPS not killing shit fast enough making them heal more, or DPS getting hit by stuff so they have reduced resources to allocate to appropriately heal you as a tank, or more simply, your healers routinely make mistakes, that's your bottle kneck
what do u mean sorry
If you're not bottle-knecked, Colossus is better
Only 2 war prot are logged on broodtwister and 1 on kyv
I don’t need to explain what a statistic means when there is only 1 or 2 dudes
i mean im curious what the stat would be if all the private logs were public
On kyv almost exactly the same than sikran since it’s the same dmg profile
you think so tho? cuz kyv is much easier
id expect more mountain thane at this point in prog
Why ? It’s the same dmg profile than sikran why would it change ?
(I’m not counting tuning ofc since logs are outdated now)
i mean harder fight = more raid damage = better to have tankier tank to allow healers to focus on raid more
it is on high keys yes
Is that worth running over Reactive Aggression Module?
its the best tank trinket
Got it
I'll try it on this 11 mists
Is it less dam tho?
because I'm not really struggling to live stuff
its used for the shield so ofc its less dam
RAM is too is why I ask
I figure RAM is only better because it's a str trinket and not secondary
Still, why would it change statistics on dmg, top 100 stats just show top 100 dmg stats so it doesn’t give a shit about raid healing etc
What about the little damage note on there?
I take it that's flimsy
because probably only 100 warriors have done it, and 99% of them will have run mountain thane for the mitigation
that will change
agree
yeah i agree, im still seeing top parsers running mountain thane tho on the earlier bosses
so it doesnt seem like colossus is blowing thane out of the water
its not a massive difference
For now we can say « he » since only 1 is public logging kyvesa lel
just min maxy to go colossus
yea lol dont worry there will be more logs soon
RWF has been over
yeah
gunna have to wait til lower end guilds get to that point in prog
You know if it does 1% more from just switching talents they will go for the 1 %
Hey guys, does prot warrior get buffed with the new mountain thain buffs as well?
Aww, was hoping big buffs. Ty
a buff is a buff
no reason to be sad about it
its around 5% to 7% in aoe, napkin math numbers though
im sure nome will chime in with the exact increase
5 to 7? Damn I'll take that. Prot warriors seem pretty meta so that's great
They look meta because of comps not because prot has something magic this patch
yeah our damage is pretty mid
it could get close to higher dps tanks though, slightly
Choose two:
- 626 Mad Queen's Mandate
- 639 Larynx
- 626 Sacbrood
It’s the same reason dh tank was meta bc magic dmg comps
One yes sry but it’s just to illustrate with an example
This is probably a super noob prot question but I'm learning cos it's a PITA to get into Fury keys rn lol:
For bosses with lots of adds (eg. 2nd boss of NW), how do you grab aggro for the 2nd group since mass-taunt is on CD?
Just charge/run to each one and pick em up?
My friend seems to go mad tagging 12s as fury but maybe it’s just the 12 hell in general
If you are tanking the boss in a corner to bait adds spawning you can clap to hit them all + simple taunt if you miss one
Yee, learnt the corner taunt trick
Do we use mad queens mandate on cooldown?
Does it matter if it's stairs corner or the other corner?
When they spawn you can already turn and start hitting them
Is it better than larynx or sacbrood?
I don’t know I tank him in corner in front of him maybe someone else know what is best
yeah, I tried this but I'm also super undergeared as tank so it was hard to get aggro with just clap
I think some of it was just exprience, it's intense when they're all up and you're a noob and panicing haha
what ilvl is your weapon
thats the most important one
for threat
oh
its fine, its just got issues
Oof
does loads of dmg
yeah youre gonna have issues hehe
BUT I did get a 1H from a NW Fury 10+ run where i set it to Prot Loot spec
and I pugged Normal Raid and got a better shield first boss lol
So I'm on my way
Funniest was I forgot to switch out the dagger stats trinket
ok so why arent you using it
I only just got it!
oh
How's meat hook? Is it an alright trinket nowadays
yeah larynx is good
And at one point my vers got the -1500 treatment, and the boss was chunking me 😆
meat hook is good as well
thats not vers
vers isnt making you hurt
or lack of
its your gameplay
hmm, maybe I missed a tank buster or something
I kept it too long to be reasonable on his performance
636 weap or shield a better first craft? same ilvl increase in both slots
hmm, first boss of SV I think? was a 6+
depends on if u wanna surviva or do dmg
I'd imagine meat hook would be decent enough on big trash mobs or bosses in 10+
are you spell blocking the buster?
and/or walling it when spell block is on cd and not on
ahhh, yeah that'd do it
Is it just spell-block or can you reflect as well?
plus it was my friend off-healing so he was prob missing the debuff
also make sure SB is up as close to 100% of the time as you can humanly do
spell block without SB up is leaving it up to chance, just FYI
gotcha
ngl spell block aint it
nothing is reflectable there, but the magic DR helps
that reminds me, need to go get a WW spell reflect weakaura announcer thingy
You can spell block the first boss tank thing ?
@lusty grotto why the hell does my iphone shoot lasers all over the screen and vibrate when I type “pew pew” in a text lmao
that was super useful even as fury in DF and SL
Oh that
no clue im an android guy
lol
Okay wait
I’m like????
nah
Is it really taht snatched?
Pew pew
you didnt cause you have a lot of trinket options
larynx is good but its not "i should uninstall the game cause i didnt pick it" good
It has to be the default messaging app
tried helping out people on their NW 5 key
heyo i wanted to know how the hero talent No Stranger to Pain work? im not really understanding if it add to 15% the mitigated damage from ignore pain or simply buff 15% the shield you get for it
increased shield size
it increases the amount you add up to IP by 15%
How is the affix for us
like it doesnt exist
Victory rush enough?
cause its a healer or hybrid problem
thanks for the answers guys 😄
And I love kisses
How often does the affix go out
I guess same as others
Can see a pug missing a few and 10% healing on a boss sounds roughhh
Okay 11 mists done
Normal swarmlord def pretty decent
Makes you invincible after use
Don't ask what that druid was doing idk
Pretty decent, if it's outpacing Indom
he has under hpal dmg lel
Idrc ab that man it's the healing that matters
Couldn't do a basic double pull because of it
was probably dealing with the affix
17 deaths
Does that not show up on details??
if i wanted to track taunt refractor how would i go about that?
Weakaura
because its not an onuse so my weakaura dont pick it up
should, under dispels
not an on use though
unless he was healing it
remember nome has a trinket tracker too
14 dispells but like
rdruid
idk, i havent done keys today
i didnt see it
Had a healer 500k hps overall on mists 0 deaths, overall hps means nothing, big hps means something went wrong
when i looked around
Because we wiped on a pull that I do routinely
must've missed it
twice
im not exactly sure how the affix is affecting overall healing and damage for heals
but obviously it will affect it
Could anyone explain why mad queens mandate is good
highest damage on use
if your charging something it should be being thunderclapped and you should have agro
taunt should be saved for mobs that get away
because if you taunt something your hitting you will not have taunt for the thing you are not hitting
if im gonna use refractor im gonna want to get that shield up
which is way more likely to kill a dps
naw if that happens thats on me for not thunderclapping or something or challenging shouting
Out of curiosity, what's the rational behind playing spear over roar this teir.
also its literally recommended in the opener to taunt as you charge
In the opener in ST raid setup
Sorry I hope there is enough nuance to this question to avoid the "just sim it" response:
I currently have 619 crafted shield with embellishment.
There is a 623 myth track shield in my GV. Sim shows the 623 shield as a 0.5% decrease, but do you guys think the added defensive value of the armor (+600) and stam (+520) make it the right call? Also helps the ilvl a bit for whatever we want to deem that is worth.
If you don’t have aggro on 1 add and it kills someone, yes you are right it’s on you but because you had taunt on cd
u will definitely want to get a myth track shield eventually and even if u upgrade ur crafted it will be lower than a natural myth shield will go
would prolly take it and upgrade to 6/6 asap
Myth track shield
if u are likely to kill mythic ulgrax u can maybe leave it but its probably worth grabbing
☝️
It’s cheaper in crests to upgrade a myth track than to craft
That's the only nuance
Appreciate the input everyone. Unfortunately it's crit verse, but I'm finally just about at the point I should be able to start banging out +9s and get these gilded crests
Whether you can reliably kill m ulgrox or not
Just mouseover taunt a mob with lowest aggro
It’s off the GCD
Just one button press
Don’t tie it to charge
Do you guys use whetstone, mana oil, or oil of deep toxins?
The stats don't matter as much as the ilvl
Mana oil you can find consumables in the guides, see #protection-faq
I use mana oil
word, Thanks chads
is colossus better with the mountain nerfs?
thane wasnt nerfed
difference is smaller but thane still ahead
ty bros ❤️
Okay warriors! Do I take Bitter Immunity for the affix? Or, do I just let others handle it? XD
🤔
I'd like to fee--never mind 
id drop stormstrike for it probably
but only maybe
maybe intervene
probably one of those two
Intervene is my wee little shield for buddies though ;~;
I wouldn't take Bitter Immunity unless it drops bleeds again
yea just be a dwarf instead
actually
dark iron dwarf stonks through the roof
free dispel for strength
imo, slam victory rush and healer can cover other 30%
I'm not a dwarf, I don't wanna look like a bearded toe.
your loss
but putting a talent point into something that you can only use every 3 mins is not the best idea, id say
let the healers and/or rets, ehn, ele, mages, boomies, sp, ferals or ww handle it
did i forget any hybrid?
warlocks can dispel themselves if they run imp, but good luck telling them that
oh lol true
how do i regain threat when my enh/frostdk still rips me 3 mobs after mt?
aoe taunt
taunt -> leap + taunt
since leap resets it
also
pump harder
get a better weapon
ur right ill craft one and vault sackbrood instead
Question crit/haste main hand or haste/vers/leech mainhand?
prius
i was never dispelled once
I know it will sim higher, but I guess I am wondering if the leech is worth it
literally just went off every time
also they are same ilvl
Tertiaries are never the deciding factor on gear unless you're comparing identical items.
if u would rather take the one with leech its not he end of the world going for haste vers over haste crit
is that trinket good enough? Im using spelunker and wax plating atm.
this shit is driving me crazy
the pants would replace 593
true
i havent been in BDF since cataclysm holy fuck
i wonder what is causing it
Altoholic or some datastore addon?
yeah sorry about the HDR
i nuked the datastores recently
but i guess ill try again
after raid or something
its only happening on raid for some reason
i think it read its very mid, and me personally mastery bad
the trinket is a nice chunk of str but so are the pants
anyone wanna help me with vault?!?
wrathstone good for prot if you don't have anything else?
is the damage of this any good in m+?
No
sacbrood or wings of shattered sorrow? I have bad trinkets.
what was the difference between the 2 enchants
bis enchants
depths and radiant
one was aoe?
I'd lean towards Wings as it's a rare drop, whereas you can farm Sacbrood
Wings, can easily farm a hero sac
Depths is pure ST, Radiant has benefit in both and procs strength so a lil more survivability
ty @bleak breach and @errant widget . agreed -- seen it drop a few times already.
Are you guys taking bitter immunity for the affix, and what are you dropping?
no
I’m taking a resto shaman for the affix
I’m taking a resto shaman
yep
if i don't raid and only get gear through m+, do i pick up a +16 ilvl shield or +39 ilvl boots
Both myth track?
both hero tracks
Just take boots and craft a shield
gotcha thanks. I'm assuming crafting shield prio over sword if both are same ilvl?
🫡 sounds good
I'm sure this has been asked a bunch of times, but is swamlord's authority actually that bad for us?
im not seeing this anywhere is it any good
not very good but if it's your only ilvl upgrade I'd take it
It goes extremely hard to pull 5 packs while wont you fly high free biiird yeah drops
Lot of high ranked prots are using it in high keys if that helps answer your question. But i dont personally have one to test or do math on.
It does enough that I'll do more research into why. Thanks
i have a similar ilvl upgrade and my trinkets arent great but 26k of each hit might be big, 260k hits its 10% i was thinking but idk
hey, does anyone have the macro for targeting target with intervene?
You don't need a macro to target your target with Intervene o_o
how do I do that without swapping target?
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] Charge; [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help] Intervene; Charge
This is what I use
Are you wanting to target your focus or what?
yes
just mouseover a target and it will intervene
works on frames
and shares keybind with charge
#showtooltip
/cast [@focus]Intervene
target of target
is what hes asking
bro its wild the difference in players you get from a 10 to an 11
for target of target it's
#showtooltip
/cast [@targettarget] intervene
griff i thought you were doing your 4 tens and then quitting
Nowhere did I say that
but go off king
besides I need to do at least 12 more keys to cap

it does the damage reduction before mitigation from armor etc so it ends up not being much
I know it’s early but any initial thoughts about any of the Blackrock Depths gear for Prot Warr?
Some of the one handers + trinkets look fucking cool
Well I feel 100% useless on this affix.
hi folks, do we have any guides on the talent after the nerf updates?
what the % uptime of ignore pain should i focus to have? in raid
probably depends on the fight
in general ? if i have something like 50% if not enough?
stop
caring
about
IP
This isn't Legion anymore
IP is just a rage dump
im asking cause im dying on queen in heroic and the other tank told me my up time on IP is too low and that why..i should focus to have 90%..i found taht too high
He doesn't know what he's talking about
We'd need logs to see why you're dying but it's not because of IP
love them taking adds off logs on Rash'anan, filling in for our tank this week and our raid leaves them around for a minute straight and theyre biting me for 5mil a second
if you have logs post them
@chilly brook of a wype on queen or a kill of tonight?
Should have both in the log no?
@chilly brook https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1rAWYQLNZJpCdKzq
First death, why do you have the boss when you have the liquefy debuff? That's 1000% increased physical damage taken.
You're also not blocking everything
no blocked hits on this pull
Or the one after it
Consistently throughout all the pulls you're at 70% or below blocked hits
That's bad
By making sure you have this up anytime you're actively tanking the boss
And also not turning your back to the boss
more shield block?
ah shit i think that's what I've done a couple times
Anytime you're actively tanking the boss it should be up
i had 90% block uptime but only 75% melee hits blocked for a fight
ty for helping me figure that out
you have really low shield block uptime
@chilly brook it is possible to keep it up all time even iuf its 13sec CD and uits 6 sec duration?
Most of the time yes
Not 100% of the time
but a majority of the time
You and the DK should be swapping who gets what tank buster tbh
8s duration?
do you not have enduring defense?
He should probably take liquefy and you should probably take feast
no he took massacre
I would probably swap that back to Enduring Defense
yeah i will
You're struggling with the basics, I wouldn't be going max pumper build
i will make a weak aura to track my shield to be sure to see when he goes off
You're also making it harder for yourself
You're sending Shield Wall randomly
If you're going to take Liquefy you should be using it on every Liquefy
shield slam casts look really low
On the 3rd wipe they just let you rot out
Anyways, TLDR you need to be blocking every hit you possibly can. You need to work on pressing shield slam more. You need to try sending your defensive CDs in spots where it makes sense, i.e. right before the big tank buster. You really need to work on your ABC's (always be casting)/sending your offensive CDs as often as possible. You're not wasting rage which sounds good on paper but that also means you're just not generating anywhere near the rage you should be.
well ok..i will check that! thx alot!
@chilly brook should i stay in mountain to start in raid to leanr correctly everthing?
fellas what's the deal with silken chain weaver
the trinket from delves, seems powerful
I'd recommend it
@chilly brook is it possible to practice on a dummy for like 5min and show you the log to see if its better?
Probably not me, there's some better guys out here for this like @lusty grotto or @jagged pier, I'm not currently playing Prot but I know basic things to look for
@inner wren I'm using it because a 15% atsp slow on melee heavy packs is a huge survival increase. I just use it on almost every pull in m+
why did you @inner wren :D
attack speed slow
trinket or 2h sword

Please explain
trinket 100%
trinket would be cool, but I want Sac and Mark me thinks
but 2h would let me fury.... but who knows how many times Ill get to fury
@quasi pivot I need more explanation on your choice

it also reduces damage taken by a flat amount, which is a very powerful effect for prot
on 1 min cd
what's the ilvl on yours? i wanna know how high it scales if u can link a pic
Discord bug I assume, I was replying the the silken chain quest
Using a 619 one right now. hero 4/6
https://raider.io/characters/us/area-52/Imspecialier
the numbers seem legit
out of curiosity, does it show up on details? the absorb
Yes
how much % is it usually at of your overall healing after a full m+ dungeon
ballpark
It reads like it's an absorb per target, but it's an absorb on you that is removed in chunks by each webbed mob as they attack you
At least that's how the debuffs look
yea seems a little confusing
I think Blizz are too scared to give substantial shields or mit to tank trinkets because they could be used by off specs in annoying ways
is the "up to 952004" cap on each hit individually, or is it total from all sources?
Not sure, I'll need to test i think it's the total absorb pool, it's essentially a mini IP
Takes 30% of hits from webbed mobs until depleted
that makes it substantially worse than what i thought
But cant they do what they did to the dps trinkets for tanks. just reduce the shield for everything but a tanks class
too creative, fury warrior nerfed again
That requires effort xD after the purges I assume there is a very lean crew working on the game. I can't see how all the bugs, broken affixes, huge tuning passes etc would be going on if they had any semblance of an automated test system and internal QA
@quasi pivot ok lastly, how did u farm it?
T8 vault reward
Was a particularly bad vault a few weeks ago so I ended up taking it since it was a huge level jump over my 606 trinket and had an on-use that I liked the sound of
Sup all - any thoughts on this trinket? I know how to read blood mallet etc., so not looking to be told SacBrood is better.
Does the shield do significant mitigation over a dungeon? anyone test this thing? many thanks
nothing wrong with that
not significant but I mean nice QOL to have? doesn't need to be chain pulling because after leaving combat you still have shield and put a slight less burden toward healer.
Nothing gamebreaking but just nice qol.
Umm
wtf
any opinion on this? got hero chest, champion swarmlord trinket and hero trakc foul bemouth's
is refracting good enough for me to take it?
trinket is not good though.
No
I mean it only work for taunt and has 1 min CD? you usually swap taunt quite often below 1 min for raid.
this would be for m+
i personally was in the same scenario and took trinket to halve my crest cost for upgrades
since you need 2 at a the level to upgrade others for free
and used the trinket a bit
what's your opinion on this?
it was serviceable. but my trinkets at the time blew chunks
I'd take chest, chest myth upgrade is quite big.
i'd take chest too
i regretted my decision because of how quickly i got hero trinkets and that was week 1 of vault
should be even easier with alll this gear
btw fellas, for the 1st pull of ara kara, city of echoes, do you guys pull to the 1st spider miniboss.... thing? or no?
and lmk your key level
we pick that trinket right ?
I don’t in the group I tank for and the group I dps for also doesn’t. 10/11s
It's too risky
you're better off not doing it all the way
yeah that's how i felt but i wanted to make sure
I think a very specific comp of balance Aug unholy could do it crazy style even as pug
i'm doing 10/11s too
That pulls so fun as unholy
I need help understanding what’s happening on ansureks platforms and what the correct counterplay is. I’ve been flying by leap and charge and praying.
thoughts on which empowered gem to use? I see every guide says crit effect but i feel like move speed getting slept on? or is movespeed just unessecary
Do move speed. Swap speed enchants for leech. Take the boot in class tree.
Why do u need the extra movespeed when you can charge/intervene/heroic leap
Cuz small movements sometimes are necessary. It allows your eyes and brain to hover on dps buttons a millisecond longer
speed is uptime
I mean if you believe that you need it then it's up to you.
How many mechanics are you actually avoiding with your main movement buttons
For me currently, there isint any mechanic where I think I need the extra movement speed so I feel that it is unnecessary.
hmmm guys,need your help again
wondering which should I pick
Meat hook or a +10ilv belt
current trinket is this two
my group has been but im playing with a bear so he has 50 seconds of incarn and aug so its pretty safe
ah nevermind i just check the WoWhead page
Skarmorak Shard vs. Mark of Khardros. Opinions? If you have both, hypothetically.
what key level
i won't immediately dismiss you i just want to contextualize the pull a bit in my mind
Do you have no melee?
bear is melee
11

Kappa
gotcha. im doing 10s an 11s with friends and our group eats shit every time
and we are playing bear aug enhance/ele frost resto sham
so i'm trying to piece together stuff
we are planning on pushing for title so 11 was just 1st time playing
We did that in 8/9s and when I was dps it felt horrible. No spear to keep them in place, no Druid for vortex. Idk. If you’re 3x ranged it’s probably fine. esp as bear you can just keep them out of melee as they die.
only problem in our group is that i showed up 20 ilevels below
Nice.
our problem is they all fall over, and i tried breaking it up into 2 pulls (i dismount, get threat, then leap to spider and 2 casters)
and we still fall over
are you getting kicks
Keychain goes kinda hard ngl depending on your current neck
the only thing we had to figure out in ara kara is how to do the 1st boss iwth 2 melee
and the aug skip
idk i was moreso looking for a damage profile, how much aoe chip damage and stuff is in that 1st giga pull
because as a tank i shrug it off
and i don't play dps
so like, im not sure what actually hurts for the lil guys
i just know i'm using MY kicks and stuff
off sims now MT beating colossus in all damage?
ngl i fall over just running to that giga pull so i split it >_<
on my sims MT is slaughtering colossus in all aspects. over 50k ahead for 3min ST fight
the only thing that felt dangerous was the poison spits from the spiders
but thats just pressing personal and healer being aware
hi new to prot what stats should i get on my crafted shield?
Sorry if this is have been asked before, but is Void Pactstone better then Ara-Kara egg? For me at least it sims higher for AoE and single target.
That is even with a 610 Void Pactstone and a 616 Egg.
then it sims better
anyone got a colossus build I could try in m+?
myth ara kara or the hc sureki ? if anyone can help
Sacbrood is mythic track so probs that
Mark of Khardros is one of our BiS trinkets?
cloak bait or not? Alt is not gonna take mythic version in many weeks
take cloak
How good is this tank trinket? Is it the only good thing in the chest?
It’s doggo shit
hahaha the worst chest in history
I’m opening mine don’t ruin my chance
jajajja
Stay away a second pls
i asume if you arent a mythic raider you always go for the myth track option i guess in vault right?
uu gg
your screen better start speaking normal people language
What ilvl u feel comfortable in 10s without getting totally shithoused on trash packs
Hahaha I got the worst shit
my vault doesn't speak french anymore 
Guys, what you think about Skarmrok Shard + Mark of Khardros as Colossus for M+ ? Can be rotated and used for every demolish as an AP boost through mastery.
615
Hey Guys I need some help here choosing for Prot Warrior : 623 legs or treacherous transmitter
Double on-use is iffy. I would prefer only one as you will lose casts over the course of the dungeon.
Legs
thank you
Im not sure i currently have swarmlords
and ara kara
I think only meathook is nerfed
every dps trink is nerfed. the corrosive organ is
i think transmitter is on prot table tho so u get full buff. i have it and it doesnt change value
am i dreaming or my crafted 1 hand prot weapon is giving me free upgrade on 2 hands
nieche trinket imo not often that you need the shield straight after taunt if u have other options i would go for that
helm has socket
I thought it was direct damage only that gets needed for tanks
Any thoughts? I feel cucked.
im not an expert. the corrosive organ is direct damage and is nerfed for me in prot. it also isnt on prots loot table have to roll as dps
transmitter is on prots table so makes sense it wouldnt be nerfed
eugh any thoughts - simming but trink is gonna sim low anyway
absolute trash
For now I never opened my vault as prot spec
if i can get myth track weapon from vault i basically always do that right?
Basically yes or you vault can make you think of strategy if it’s a really good vault
its either myth track tier legs or weapon
so i gues sits weapon
nvm i crafted mainhang with heroic crest lol
so i guess its legs cause i upgrade weapon to myth
neck swims best but :<< do I take trink for living, currently running hero sac & hero meat hook
is the trinket from Stonevault good?
Weapon yes unless you have the crafted one, you can catalyst any other legs that could drop in the future
I have the crafted weapon+shield so I don’t need anything in vault as prot spec
For now
90 each week, but total cap goes up. So if you haven’t reached weekly cap I think it’s at 450 total atm
nahh - anyone know how borked ceaseless swarmgland is in sim?
with the changes to collossus today, hows it comparing to thane for warrior tank in m+?
Still the same issues as before compared to MT.
The issue now is the buff to Thane damage put it above Colossus in everything
So colossus really isn’t optimal for anything anymore.
Less survivability and less damage
Bitter Immunity worth for the affix this week? Feels like 3 minutes is far too long to be worthwhile.
as a thought experiment, what would you drop?
get a shaman to use poison cleansing totem or a priest with md
you are absolutely right on it being too long for it to be worth it
i'm just curious what you would drop
I'd probably drop Rumbling Earth. It's nice to have, but doesn't make or break keys. But probably not worth it to only get 1 of every 3 affix casts.
How much does it absorb on a 10?
I always try to bring a shaman in my group to some extent because of how powerful their buff is to us. So shouldn’t be too much stress for us
Way too much for us to meaningfully interact with it. 😂
Take the ring
Otherwise socket
I assume your 623 legs are myth rank?
no
u take myth piece tier
so i thought legs might be the best pick anyway
It's really neck if it Sims best, even with no primary stat? - ilevel is equal.
@jagged pier so legs -> catalyze even if i dont save any crests on that?
i mean u shouldnt have boosted hero track legs to 623 in the first place
aha y, went for quick upgrades (since it was +4 ilvls) last week
Yeah legs in that case, I’d assumed 623 meant you were running myth tier
alright thanks, y i wasnt clear on that
How do I even quantify the survivability benefits of the strength from bracer > neck 😒
For our gems, should we just go 1 Diamond and then full Haste/Crit gems? And not care about the "Unique Algari gem color" effect?
Seal straight up
Why is mastery so low rated when it helps dps and damage reduction so much?
because the others are better at both
what do you guys generally think about the sparks we receive at this point? seems you might aswell just dump all the crest you have into myth tier pieces rather than crafting 636, at least if you already have 2 embellishments?
yeah that sounds like a good plan
myth pieces* is what i meant btw

that means we might end up sitting on sparks quite a while i guess, feels a little boring
Did colossus get any DMG buffs besides the bleeds choice node
Is mad queens mandate any good? or should i just take the helm
sparks are way worse now because they cost so much
u should only really craft your emblishments
and thats it
y thats what i mean :/
its bis
Same question again 🙂 It got lost in the chat 🙂
swarmgland or chest? really cant decide 😄
Got another larynx in vault
yea but any myth track chest will be good later on
while the other tank trinkets other than swarmlord are pretty ass no?
they are all bad
Btw exact thing I was arguing about happened
Got socketed haste mastery bracers with leech in vault
shoulders with speed, nice
what 1H enchant do we generally want?
Are we still playing thorims might after hotfixes or are we playing the 30% more lightning strikes now
any thoughts on this? i have crafted weapons and i was thinking to get oppresive orator's larynx
there is no destinction between 1h and 2h enchant
you just get authority of the depths if you want damage, and radiant authority if you want combination of damage and survivability
Can we spell reflect the pulling-singularity ability on the last boss of ara Kara?
which trinkets do you have, shard is too good to pass on i think
we just leap after 1 sec left of the cast
no, but you can jump out of it on 1 sec and don't get hit by it
and always live
i am also here asking for advice!
Anyone knows this?
ara-kara sacbrood champion track and swarmlor'ds authority champion track
the neckalce sims better, but the mace is myth track, thoughts?
