well 460k (so far for me) magic shield seems...barely do something during raid, I am not asking double like 920 but about 600k-ish should be nice at this season?
Surely we will get 600k later on at s2 or s3 but... the damage also getting bigger at that point.
make it bajillion times multiplier, but it only lasts for half a second
The main thing with the intervene shield is that you get it every 30s
More than it has been recently but I wouldn't make a definitive "this is meta tank" statement for any tank rn
the intervene shield is really more of a consideration once you get to the point where you whip out notevenclose.com from my pov
So it adds up to a lot of value very quickly; the issue with it in raid is that said damage doesn't
happen that often
yeah that too luerce 460k every 30 secs seems a bit low. maybe increase a bit will be nice.
In my case it's more esoteric "This isn't exactly relevant to gameplay but I want to theorycraft x for the fun of it" kind of thing is discouraged
idk if esoteric is quite the right word but im blanking
ok real
There's been a few cases recently where it's been better about that, but the default culture is to assume people are coming here to try and improve optimally as a start. We recently tried to help someone, I think was it you, Scatter, who wanted to try to optimize funny talent builds for something
what if it gives both of you lightning shield, simliar or identical to shaman ability, 50% power
double true
holdup yogi's nick changin again 👀
storm shields this is
idr i have alzheimers probably
😱
The closest in terms of the eyes of pubs from what I notice is Bear, Prot War, and loosely VDH.
Kinda overall just not Prot Pala, though, tbh
time to give weird gif to eagle again then so he will be nicer
i'm always nice just dangerously dumb. i eat mattress tags and palstic bags
I've just moved from corner to corner, since by the time you return to the original corner, tornadoes gone
that was actually the most fun ive had here in a while, I'd like to see that kind of comradery encouraged more often
Stats haste > crit = vers this is true?
NOT EVEN HALF AN HOUR LATER
Yeah, haste is the best defensively and offensively, and crit and vers are close enough that it doesn't matter too much
What is it that makes prot pal such a paperbag this season? Every time I run with one on my alt their hp just seems to yoyo
Technically stacking crit after haste will give you the most optimal performance, but it's not a game changer
cuz they have on demand ACTUAL dont die spell
i'm gonna get a max mastery gearset, clear all +2s with it, then come into discord and ask people for the hard numbers on haste survivability
to compensate
It wasn't just for throngus, was just showing my trinkets I had 🙂 vs what I had in vault dw
One of their hero talent trees makes them give up a defensive, and WoG doesn't really heal them anymore
Those are the two most notable parts
There's a few other issues that kick in to help contribute, but those are the two more immediate factors that hit them
They can still live and all, but they're defensively behind the other tanks.
tbh at max ilvl i could see prot pala bein the goat with how much damage they poop out
Leech stacked prot pal coming in hot
pretty sure brew does more
Ogres?
brew does boatloads too
what was killing you? I tend to feel rather safe in GB
the moh build has insane prio damage
oh yeah the brutes are tank busters
Ogres, the Spellblades, and Overseers getting stacked with each other are the main things capable of killing tanks
mh so i need to actyually be scared?
If it was Ogres then probably people not using soothe
what do overseers do?
get your pubs to soothe ogres, or you stun them and kite
They put out a roar that can be soothed iirc that buffs damage of all mobs around them
The ogres people are talking about increase attack speed as they hit you, so stun and kite
Paralysis having a soothe is goated man
Spellblades just use an ability you reflect or CD
is thane or slayer recommened atm?
slayer prot
slayer prot

We don't have Slayer unfortunately
bro we'd go so hard with a juiced slayer exe
whatever its called the colossus one
thane for damage mitigation, colon for DPS, cant go wrong either way
Both are fine, but Thane is realistically better since it gives you defensive ability instead of takes away defensive ability
what defensive ability?
keep your feet on the ground
thinkin bout going colossus full time in 10s since theyre so chill
Hey. Should i pick weapon heroic 3/6 or the shadow binding ritual knife 3/6 hero ? raidbot is telling me that the trinket is better for dps
Colossus incentivizes you to spend your rage on Revenge very heavily, so you lose out on rage gen and Ignore Pain uses
8% DR, 50-60% uptime as fury, never tracked it as prot but it's a good chunk of DR
someone said rage gen buttons always higher prio regardless
Also, Thane's defensive benefit talents are also just better than Colossus
If you do that in AOE, you lose the damage portion of why you're playing Colossus. You do that in ST
And the highest damage on Tank in M+ is in AOE
It's more the rage you lose from not pressing TC outside of rend application reducing your rage, and spending more rage on revenge leades to lower IP usage
@jagged pier did you lie to me
on top of the loss of KYFOTG
I'm pretty sure Jakey said similar
nah he said rage gen = good
I could be wrong, though
cause more rage more avatar
Rage gen is pretty much always good, but Colossus can make that awkward; it's also part of why we don't recommend Colossus is because of needing to balance those
If you're pressing Revenge, you're not generating rage, meaning you get to spend less
how much screaming should i do as i slam my revenge button?
You never want to waste rage, so yes
Hey guys is crafting a shield our best expenditure of one of our sparks or do we still lean towards bracers/belt/cloak and what not
Apparently the highest recorded scream was from an elementary school teacher yelling quiet at 121 decibels, so try to match that
Depends on if you can get a Myth track shield or not; if you're hitting M raid, crafting a shield is of sketch benefit
Since first boss drops a shield
yeah was thinking that too
Luerce type so fast, I was about to say that too.
have a heroic shield and weapon and soon will be hitting heroic raid so it feels like a waste of a spark
Im sitting on 2 extra sparks rn, don't worry about wasting them
ya same, cant be bothered to go farm out 45 runeds
well if you already have heroic shield can just upgrade it to 619, saving gold cost on crafting and so on
and im sending them on gear as well for ilvl
i don't have the crests to craft things, so i just have things sitting around
cuz all my shits champ or hero now
well still setting on shit boots and dont want to have to craft them but its starting to look like I might need to
it will be very long time or cold day in hell before i get myth gear at my rate
sitting on champ boots and a champ ring
hero, no god damn problem
so what kinda pulls can we do on fortified, like on mists can i still do the double first pack?
myth, thats gunna be hard
depends on if your DPS decide to die or not
its a +6 with mediocre ppl
Fort/Tyr shouldn't affect your routing at all considering how many mobs you generally need to hit in each dungeon
its pug
Should I be running colossus for raid if I’m going for more damage
scared of double pulling and wiping unecesssary
might just yolo craft a neck or something, i'm never getting that sikran neck
Colossus will do more damage in raid if played properly
You really can't miss SS resets or catching TC on CD or you're going to lose out on rage
alright ty
Could anyone please give me some tips for singing steel and stinging venom in siege of boralus? I can't figure out the best way to avoid the former and not sure how to deal with the latter after the stun changes
they're gonna stand in ground swirlies and not stack without interrupts, never not seen a sub 10 pug die there
1st time getting into prot warrior will i suffer if i have a bunch of mastery from rolling fury the 1st month of the expansion?
y
If you weren't religiously preventing all rage from being overcapped, it's technically only a buff
Well we got a DPS compensation buff, so its fine
no. high ilvl shield and the rest is not important unless youre doing giga high keys
Realistically, all stats are close enough for Prot that it doesn't really matter
Like Has said, get a good shield, strap it on, and go
Awesome thank you!
fury still has a high haste prio so it works
haste does feel good tho, even if it's not that much better numerically
Just wait until we can use ITF, then haste value skyrockets
@edgy bone not to stir up an old conversation but i did some math here for you since you asked :)
-Block dr 639 is 40.7% vs 636 at 40,3%
-Armor dr 639 is 59,3% vs 636 is 59,2%
-"total" dr of 0,5% of blockable physical damage
-secondaries 639 is 1Â 076 vs 636 is 998
-total secondary gain of 78
-and 52 extra strength (excluding attt)
lmk if anything seems off 
Ya us gamers gotta mash these buttons
doesn't feel different
protcake?
crit is prot now?
weirdge
oh
well in that case yes, thane fury is amazing
i don't like thane fury
More DR with 50-60% uptime, steady aoe damage output, decent ST
slayer feels better
Slayer feels better to me simply because ravager is weird
where do people find normal routes? all routes on raider.io are crazy multipull routes
True. Was raiding earlier (haven’t done key this week) felt like the rage still flowing nice, at least I don’t feel any difference.
I mean if you’re just learning and want to single pull stuff you should load up mdt and just hit packs to see em
Really, just hold W into however many packs you want
Outside of Dawnbreaker, you need to kill most if the mobs in each dungeon, so
wasnt thinking single pull, but more like Raider.io has quad pulls and shit
hmm i guess
i can send you mine when i get back from the gym if you remind me in like 90 minutes lol
Only need to look up routes for dawnbreaker, siege, and necrotic wake. Other dungeons are hold W
Siege is honestly pretty close to w as well
Yeah once you know it
I had no idea where tf I was going my first time, since I didnt play BFA lol
that seems standard. maybe split 1st pull in 2 if you want
Wtf, yeah that’s cursed
How difficult would the first raid boss be in mythic for a pug? Would be so much nice to grab that shield and saved the crests
what are thoughts on swarmlords authority (trinket from silken)? I read that it looks amazing balls on details (which it does) but also the numbers are negligible
I am using mark of khardos now, but I have that thing in my bag, just torn on it
it's eating healing/absorb from IP/Indom and leech. it's not as good as it looks
i just took 610 skarmorak, cus i was like "hell ye bis trinket" then i realized my 606 sacbrood and 616 quickwick candlestick is better... 🤦
what do you mean it is eating healing from those?
I am not sure I follow
My adventurer sacbrood still out specing my hero trinkets 😂
yep same here, mine is Veteran 8/8
Anyone know how to avoid singing steel in siege of boralus
it's absorbing damage that would be absorbed by IP, and/or healed by indom or leech
also is this a normal 1st pull in SV?
hell no
i feel like the routes are ultra relyant on interrupts
Oof
getting thr 4th pack ciuld be scary
"this weeks top mythic+ routes" 😄
https://raider.io/play-like-the-pros
just do the 3 packs
keystone guru has community routes
if anyone have a link of just normal 100% routes, that avoid mega cringe adds, then id be happy to see
I would look at those and then tweak to your liking
ty
do triple pull in the start, and then split all three, you can chain them as well
if you pull this in a pug, you're likely to brick the key and then lose group. maybe make it a blacklist or two
yep exactly xD
Ive seen coordinated 12 groups do that stonevault pull. I wouldn’t have the balls to do it in a pug with someone else’s key
Just use the weekly route routes, not the play like a pro
do the hallway, then pull one group. once that group is down, pull the double golem (once you kill these it will start the RP and save 10 seconds). then pull the last group before boss
weekly routes on raider.io are a little hot
for sure
This is the way
Routes are more around some pug constraints assuming people will not use personals to save themselves and there will not be assigned interrupts.
- Don't pull more than 1 mob that has big scary unavoidable aoe.
- Don't pull more than 2 casters.
- Don't pull packs that rely on careful positioning to not ass-pull other packs or patrols.
If you follow those rules you get a press-w pug route.
Hey guys, quick question, is wowhead info good, deciding if crafting my shield first for the 636
i didnt do the pull thank god
shield to 636 is a valuable craft, can only be beaten by a myth track shield
cause i dcd and reloaded in middle of it lmao
wowhead guide is good 
Yeah i really think the investment is worth.
anything to watch out for in siege this week
scared of keys now that i got turbo nuked in grim batol
People pulling 75% of the first area
but that's every week
I hate sniper pack 😦
all you can do is stun one individually, but then someone will aoe stun anyways
is it bad to aoe stun?
have you managed to kill him before he aggroes the pack on the left?
had 3 sieges today and 3 times we had to kill that pack (
consistent inconsistent 
do i wanna equip one of every gem type for the extra crit?
except the stamina gems i guess
the only thing you have to kick on this pull is 2 fear casts. It is a totally managable pull
I know the secondary prio is haste - crit - vers - mast but is there an upper limit to each? I feel like my vers is crazy low?
or is it literally just max haste crit whenever possible
Not currently, no; Prot War can still get notable value out of stats no matter how much you stack this season
There will be a point where getting other stats is more beneficial, but it's currently not possible even if we're assuming you have every very rare, max ilvl Myth track piece
I've got heroic raid weapon but a few unused sparks. Should I just go ahead and craft 636 weapon or prioritize lower ilvl armor pieces? I already have the 636 shield.
Wep will be more of an overall increase on your damage output and give survival as well
so even if my vers is like 2% i am still gemming crit/haste?
Even for gems I believe, yes; you can always double check by simming your char, since stats defensively are close enough that it's not worth min-maxing them and instead sim for damage
That's what I was thinking too. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious. Thanks.
any tip
If you face them away they only shoot you
for kyveza
our tank is lagging today
so I'm tanking it
it smacks so hard
am I on the mercy of healers
guys for enchants
is authority of storms better than authority of depths when you have queen ring since it procs off nature damage?
Hey guys i was wondering for ring enchants, do we go Haste? And is there a % of haste where its too much haste? Im currently at 42% and im debating if i go Crit enchant on rings instead
I'm assuming Myth raid, correct?
ye
I figured I'll do sw + spell block
for first one
and then just sw for 2nd one
I thought they're more often
Remember to SR for all of them, too
can also sr lines but idk if that doe sshit to tank
i know you don't need to be told but
ye ik
I played it as dps
last raid night
Not really, but might as well
I'm just tanking today
The most notable thing that I'm seeing glancing through logs is that the tank swap mech is pretty much the only notable damage on tanks, so you can comfortably send what you need on them,
And each cast you would need to take looks to be about a minute apart, so you should be able to SW each of them
Playing war now after maining guardian. Guardian needs a cd every pull but the cds are short, how do big pulls work on war? Shield block and ignore pain enough or do we need cds?
Shield Wall has a CD closer to Bark than Incarn, to give you an idea
I mean
I didnt know how often they are
and they hit
insanely
fucking
hard
yeah they do
But the cd is much longer no?
Shit still kinda hurts on Heroic, too
That’s what I don’t understand
After AM and other SW reductions, it's about a 50s-1m CD
rash 3 stacks if I pressed sw my hp bar didnt move
idk I think I got the gist of tanking it now after 5 pulls
i didnt tank it on hc
yeah i think Kyveza is the only boss outside the last two that can hurt you if you do things right
why is swarmlords trinket c tier on the guide? isn it topg in higher keys?
And even among the last two, they don't really hurt Prot War that much unless Mythic really cranked their damage; you can still solo tank beetle boy on Heroic as an example
because it good looks on the meters do the run it
Come again?
Weird question, I'm trying to hit 619 in every slot to remove runed crest req, my sword and shield are 610. I randomly won a 616 bow with an xmog roll. Will levelling that to 619 and equipping it give me the achievement and remove the runed req or no?
It's something you can track on details, iirc, so it's easy to see a general impact of what the trinket is actually doing to help
Contrast that to the trinket that reduces enemy attack speed; how much damage is that preventing?
You don't see that in details as healing or damage prevented, since the damage is just coming slower
So you have to evaluate the damage taken for melees and contrast them to damage taken without to get a direct numerical estimate as to how much it's helping
also just cause its giving u an absorb doesnt mean its giving u at the right time to stop anything
can someone help me figure this out
private log
yeah this is my cast even log i think? kinda bad at looking at logs
after the demo shout i died
first time struggling living in dungeons so im not sure whats going wrong
it fucks + kills your haste
am i supposed to cc them instead of the other buttons?
press big defs
thats the only thing that hurts in that pull
gutters
so just start with sw
so ravager > avatar > sw > shield wall > demo something like that?
with a shield block inbetween
sb asap ye p much there
Yeah, you started pretty low from not having shield block up early enough it looks like
You got slapped for like 20% from one melee beefore the tooth breakers started coming in, and that's a bad way to start
well i dont have rage before the pull now do i
charge + avatar
You get enough rage for shield block from charge + avatar
So you can have SB up before ever touching the first mob
think i did, maybe i jujst clicked it late
You did end up pressing it about half a second or so after the very first melee you took shown in the death break down
but you need it up even earlier than that, since melees actually kinda hurt
hey guys, are we supposed to constantly play in defensive stance ?
or switching using it as a "cd"
You can play in it entirely if you want, but it's helpful to think of it as a defensive CD so you think about where and when damage is happening
If you're doing anything outside of keys in the land of 10s and above, there's nothing really hitting you hard enough to force you into D Stance for extended periods of time unless you're just not using the CDs and defensives you already have
you cant block spell cast at shaman, by intervening with spell block shield block up, but you cant block melee with just shield block and intervene
right ya
all these fotm prot warrs got some majorly busted talent trees
my shaman ate multiple web bolts to the face in threads
i was trying to intereven i belive it was him alot of the key, but he took so much dmg feels like
It's been an alternative as long as you're fine losing survivability for damage
thanks for taking the time to answer, i'm asking because i see some streamers non stop in d stance above 12s
yeah things kinda start to clap, especially in 12s
Since your funny ha ha beneficial affix just becomes "okay fuck these guys in particular now"
Dying at all in a key that high level also normally is likely to brick the key, as well, especially a tank death since your party mates are very likely to follow very quickly after
Since each death is 15s off the count and things got a lot of HP to chunk through
It's mondo fine to lose damage to ensure you can survive, especially if it means you're able to pull bigger, since the trade off in damage will win out from having more things to you can hit without dying as compared to minor damage optimization
The trade off is very small if u want ti be in d stance all the time its conpletely finr
3% crit is so much less than it used to be
Even while D Stance cost you damage, all the above was still true; it'd be an overall damage gain if it let you pull bigger, which really drives home how fine it is now to be in D Stance all the time
I would say in general b stance in raid as nothing can kill u there
And d stance in pugs or 11s up
except kyveza during tank buster, she kinda hurt tho
I run d stance in most pugs just cause i dont trust healers
Is there a good progress bar ignore pain anyone can recommend?
If IP times out of duration, you haven't been hitting things for seven years
ya i really only stance swap in raid
I mean more the amount of ignore pain I have as progress bar, brain likes bars more than numbers I can’t read I play ret
So, does ragenerf hurt?
no
Nope
i dont really notice the less rage tbh
Literally nothing has changed
Most people weren't even managing to spend all the rage they were getting, anyway
How much survivability are we losing?
And how much dmg are we gaining by picking colossus?
A notable amount, since your goal is to try and spend all the rage you generate on revenge; you also clap a lot less due to no UF, so there's less rage coming in as a whole, and you don't get the 3 SS in a row perk
U loose some if play incorectly in keys cause of changes they are probably about the same now in terms of dam
it's hard to define survivability in concrete terms due to it depending heavily on damage profile
Thane kinda gunna win ST now we thinks
I'd wager Colossus would still be ahead in AOE, but I wouldn't know by how much
I haven't really looked that deep into it
Maybe but it probably less than before
No one has because it really has changed very little
Bro ngl, Ky'veza fucking hurts
I only saw spitball math beforehand on how much Colossus was ahead in AOE from Nome mentioning things early on, so I wouldn't even be able to spitball off that
Literally the only thing in raid that hurts outside of 3rd boss missed tank swap, that kinda hurts
Just started progging it tonight on mythic, both my BDK co-tank and myself were surprised with the tank buster difference compared to other bosses
I'm pretty sure it's 100% magic, as compared to almost every other tank buster having some kind of physical component
which contributes to that
The tank buster itself is mostly physical mixed with a smaller amount of magical dmg
I'm a damn dirty liar
- also leaves a 4x stacked DoT aswell
Part of me wagers they intended for you to taunt swap halfway through, and only take 2 stacks each
but i'm pretty sure it's cast every 30 seconds, and the debuff is 35 seconds
I disagree, I think it's working as intended but it just hurts a lot :D
The thing that makes me think that is the fact you can taunt swap mid-way iirc, plus the duration of the debuff being as low as it is
I think they changed their minds mid-way through designing the fight
That's not something we'll ever know, though
where is the spot you can see reflect damage in wclogs?
thanks fam
isnt that a stacking dot?
do we care about getting max benefit from the crit meta gem?
i use speed 
That's a nasty trinket
is this st or aoe?
you charged the enforcer, who is in the middle of the pack. charge the frontmost mob, not the middle mob, in general. you got clapped by all mobs hitting you instantly + backhitting.
Is there any tech for the sikran trinket? or just send it on CD?
i have never heard of that trinket so i assume it's not great and the tech is to use something else
Good point thx
i see, the damage difference between in d stance or not is not that big, right ? i feel sometimes like i'm loosing in beginning of pulls in d stance
He’s talking about the purple arsenal trinket
Also ravager+avatar didnt seem to be enough for shield block last time i tried it
charge avatar is
Not anymore; you're only missing the 3% crit now, and the start of pulls are the most dangerous
yeah that trinket, sorry haha
you block 1 hit before dying, out of 16. you were getting back hit like crazy. Though even the first 6 you didn't have shield block up.
dumb question: does shield slam do any aoe component? or it's just for fishing for the thunderclap proc thing?
Anyone used Foul Behemoth's Chelicera? Any good in m+/raid?
How do you approach a pack when shield charge/ ravage / spear / avatar are all down and you have almost 0 rage and and shield block isn’t already up? Is this something that should just be insanely rare? Or is it totally fine to be starting pulls like that? Talking 12+
It’s ranked A tier so it isn’t bad. You can probably use it on cd
Charge and Shield Charge then TC?
don't get in that situation in the first place, but shield charge 1st if you have to.
I meant to say shield charge not shield wall
it's just ST damage (maybe it can proc lightning strikes idk i don't read)
it's high prio for rage generation sw cdr basically and great prio/st damage
also it gets cooldown resets but not your other abilities
then we're all the way back to don't get in that situation in the first place. bank some rage between pulls.
At a stretch heroic leap but if you can use charge to get rage at least you can TC
so even in aoe, shield slam is highest prio to press right?
whats the proc called where u sometimes get 2 free shield slam charges? do u use a WA to track it?
its called burst of power
So it’s very dangerous to be starting pulls like that? I will be more mindful of holding some type of rage generator for start of pulls just wasn’t sure if I actually had to
burst of power. you can just add the count of stacks to your existing shield slam icon on your WA so you know when it procs
outburst TB on 2+ targets > outburst shield slam > outburst TC on 8(?) targets > shield slam > tb > tc > revenge for damage iirc
i track this yeah
burst of power
oh ok thanks
does it actually add charges? that's kinda neat
I assume you don’t really want to use shield charge at the end of pulls or at a timing where you wouldn’t get it at the start of a hard pull right ?
technically it makes your SS not incur CD, rather than adding charges, but these are close to equivalent.
if it's already on CD when it procs, you don't get an immediate press, but when it comes back you'll get 3 in a row.
oh like that, sorry, i misread
Charge + avatar -> ravager mid charge + shield block -> demo shout -> spear -> shield charge
Something along those lines, you could shield charge earlier if you need more sb
Hey guys defensive stance we just loose 3% crit? i remember it was some more dps
but idk if they changed it
yep, it changed going in to tww
they changed it
most people just default to perma dstance
so battle stance totally not worth it?
BIG D all the time basically
if you know you arent taking damage
its free crit
yeah
but not an important amount of damage like before
if you are already feeling saturated on things to do its the first thing you should ignore
and did a lot of dmg, so i was wondering if was the stance of dps givin me a lot of it
or just execute is op on rasha'nan
just execute things on rashanan

hello, i am wondering if anyone knows how much haste i should have before i stop going for haste? if there's a haste cap 🙂
mmkay
35-40%
unbuffed <-- this was for the recommended ITF swap
oh
before you stop going for haste?
never
never this season at least
!macros
hehe thank you
what macros do you need help with
idk i just started playing prot and was seeing if there were any essential ones
there are none
especially if you're new
because there's one, but its not recommended for new prot players
im new to prot but not new to the game lol
the more i think about using the ip ss macro the more i think id hate it
I am so confused whenever I get declined and a Blood DK or Vengeance DH is invited
There is like no benefit whatsoever
They're not even real tank specs
BROS HAVE NO SHIELD
vengeance brings magic damage
?
has more value than bshout
hate to break it to you
I bring me
they dont know or care
i mean that depends on the comp
because it def does not have more value if the comp has an FDK
AP > all
Only real tanks are prot warriors and protadins are OK as like a off-tank spec (nothing will change my mind)
how are people +2'ing 11 mists is there a route that is needed to do that
i don't even have a stake in this race, but warglaives dum
everyone does 1.8M+ and it's +2
you wont +2 pulling small and doing 0 damage
10% stat buff and skipable mechanics on 2nd boss makes mists piss easy
yeah people just did like 1.3-1.4 in my group
1.3 is low for a mists
must of been too small of pulls on my part
could be combo of both
oops 1.4 to 1.6 i mean
how long were boss fights
Tbh there are few usefull even if u are new, i wouldnt bother with ip/ss one for now , but head to wowhead there is section for it.
What i see as usefull is , charge+intervene macro .
And stuff like ravager spear etc on cursor ( might not need macro if u play with that option iirc)
U can't safely stack the bugs
U skip alot of the first packs
What big pulls are u talking about brother
useful is not equal to essential
Just asking
Is prot warrior better at tanking liquify or feast on ansurek?
and he asked for essentials
True, mb
3 bugs then bugs to right with flying guys and i think bugs on next area is the pull
its a good pointer, just stating the difference
where you can save a lot of time
And how much mitigation must i use for the buster
Is demo shout enough of a mitigation?
do you know a way to find this in a log
skipping the 3 bugs saves a lot of time too
spell block
Like i would love to have cursor macros way earlier than i started to using them ..
check details
you can spell block liquify
and go to the boss fights
then u can go straight to the double and pull in flyers when theyre low
That's 1 pack bruh
and you can wall in between spell block cds
In my head atleast
1st- 2:05, 2nd- 3:23, 3rd 2:34... had some trouble on 2nd boss
which i trust you're already doing
Ok i can spell block liquify but is demo shout+ shield block a good enough mitigation for it if i want to?
what are you holding wall for
yo
remember it has heavy CDR
thats 4 packs?
ara kara first boss adds
Idk just incase LUL
dont hold it
when does he eat and when dont?
I ain't pulling more than 1 of the fat bug
when the adds are close
its a 50s cd if youre using rage correctly and slamming SS
The aoe will kill dps
no reason to hold wall ever
if they dont kick yeah
this aint classic
It's unavoidable
Then when do i send demo? On cd or
or vanilla with 1hr cds
so how is that one pack in your head...? there are 2 big caster bugs there
you can use it if you need it defensively, but using it on cd should be fine
As rage gen or as melee reduction
I mentally assigned it as good DR
for damage
Ah ok
the first 3 has the big bug and the next ones on left have a big bug
2nd pack after the little girl boss and patrol flies are like 1 pack the
I have 0 name memory lmao
me either
i just see them in my hesd
but if you want to save time
you are doing that pull
But ye idk I timed 11 Mists which is far from +2 but wouldn't do that pull
I think I cleared little girl boss to fat worm boss in 3 pulls
Did boss then did 2 pulls
Was like super chill tho, no stress whatsoever
Was desthless until healer started drinking instead dispel rogue
🙂
has anyone played colossus since the changes this reset?
But em if im tanking feast
Is it harder for warrior to do so?
harder for warrior compared to what
Once my party goes way higher and I get shit tons of free revenge procs, I may even use Barbaric Training
Idk monk/dh
Is there a limit on that, guys?
There must be a parry chance% where Barbaric Training outperforms sidearm on colossus builds
I am afraid to tag Nomeratur
every tank gets railed on feast
i have not seen a single tank that doesnt
there's no better or worse
What is feast can u remind me
colossus is already kinda rage hungry, barb training would hurt... maybe with insane haste
Describe it like a caveman
Thought feast is easier to heal for warriors over other tanks
Idk which is the harder tank buster
But my co tank states that they always left feast to dk so i thought maybe i should do feast and it would be easier
brew handles it the best i think
they also have an absorb shield
you get feast - stagger it and get heal absorb and while youre getting healed you pop an absorb shield
You mean feast and liquify?
but yea war should take liquefy
I feel like we handle liquify or feast equally well. perhaps feast a bit better since its physical
but spell block owns liquify like its nothing lol
I tanked hc ansurek for a bit and actually we can manage tanking with debuff for some time if your healers struggle to top feasted tank
atleast I did
5m blocks are fun too
My first 3 pulls of ansurke is instantly dying asa tank
how
Pulled oped cd i constantly rip aggro
yeah aggro on her can be a bit tricky I recommend tracking threat tinythreat in details at the start
other tank should utilize their taunt
yah thats jus the other tank not pressing buttons well
They did
cap
I was doing 250k more damage than them
they can taunt
so they get 300% threat
It was a brew? Idk what they do
lol
Who plays brewmaster
all taunts give 300% threat gen buff in a window now
Bros ONLY good expansion was MoP
literally the best raid tank
And that was only for Challenge mode
yeah but taunt doesnt do much if the tank isnt actually pressing their buttons well
natty 1 mill ara kara 😎 idk if this is good or i should be doing more
especially if other tank is out dpsing them like crazy
on heroic queen we switch but either liquidfy or feast i feel safe. if shit hits the fan i last stand on feast and im good.
Yea ive got no clue
Im thinking maybe prot warrior does to much damage
No.
Big doubt, I have 55% armor, 45% block, 15% parry, and 10M HP
Im very very geared compared to my raid
And BMs do what.. Spin and take their dmg later?
yeah why are you trying to blame prot warrs lol
you are overgeared you said it yourself
thats not true
I mean i have no clue
Im the prot warrior
I literally casually rip aggro on every boss
how is that the specs fault though
Try to not pump dmg while ur threat is at 100% but yelloe
It's like the game begging u
can you link logs
Idk big burst
Not explicitly saying its ours
I honestly dont know other thanks other than dh so yea
Vengeance is a dps spec
Wonder if i can isolate it
Blood DK is a healer spec
1 sec
You're 100% not accidentally hitting your taunt mid-rotation? My co-tank in DF had messed up bindings on his mouse and was taunting the boss off of me on CD
the other tank is not playing properly
nah, its possible, especially if hes colossus
i just wanna see how bad his co-tank is
demolish do be hittin hard tho i cant lie LOL
Yea
There was a pull where after the boss was ij my aoe
I avatar ravager spear and hands off
i know I press demolish and im like yep im gonna rip
gotta do it anyway tho.. never aritifically lower your performance for anyone
Literally away from keyboard
i pray for you
Gotta make the lowest dps stressed out that they will be below the prot warr ALWAYS
Makes them play better
One sec
sometimes though, you just giga rip as colossus, like that dude the other day
if u aint rippin aggro u aint tryin hard enough.. that is my motto
I admit second week I tried to pug ansurek to get curve, I couldn’t tank it bc aggro (even as thane) so I had to kill her in dps
i was watching my friend perma rip threat off a bdk as bear during hc ansurek prog
the brewmaster should actively be trying to rip from you
BDKs are so shit
idk bear cranks
what if both tanks are trying hard enough
bdk is also good
then that means THEY DOIN MEGA DAM
there's no tank that can rip as fast as a dotc bear
that is the equilibirim all tanks strive for
If they nerfed prot warrs to the level of BDK idk if I'd be able to continue the spec
if you afk, you're gonna get fucked
well yeah we only popular when we do the good/big dam
miss a gcd with a good dotc bear and you'll have to taunt just to match
it also doesnt help if you have a bear player who knows how to do his rotation
we arent even at the top but still competitive tho
We scale frfrfrfr
being middle of the pack is always the best apb
cause we get buffs, and no nerfs 🙂
look what happened to fury
especially if tanks damage balancing is decent
yep I cannot deny it is the best spot to be
Fury still slaps no?
They can nerf the warrior class, but they can't nerf the warrior player base
all warr specs in good spot afaik
Far too mentally ill to be bad
they can design raid to require 2 bdks 🤡
alright let me see
Im tanking feast and
First pull i totally didnt expect feast damage nor liquify damage
Actually even now lmao
I dont know how the buster work
Reading around
yeah your co-tank sucks
WELL EM
stop bullying the guy with 3 jobs 9 wives 20 kids
Ye I saw that he has dmg pike at 1 m and the other one as no dmg pike basically
How do you check 2 peopls dps time line,n
How do i click off total?
i just realized supreme got freed from ansurek 
Oh ah i oke
your co tank needs to go to serenity peak and get some pointers cause 242k aint it
hell
@waxen frigate and/or @chilly brook can probably give you some pointers so you tell him whats going on
And i once told the person u might want to do this route in a dawnbrealer
And might have pissed them kff LOL
since both play brew
hes gaming
Does spinning crane kick a thing on ST ?
Idk what any of those are
its not a thing anywhere
APM
its literlaly just for gathering
and casts

We were in a call
I heard
Your boss i guess
I replied
I clicked 3 buttons im literally not touching keyboard
Got liquified LOL
yeah uhh
literally he needs to fucking log out and read a guide
you cannot kill the boss with him doing this
might have to talk with raid lead
Hey
First pull
A close friend proposed me to play the talent to remove tiger palm bc I hate it and I hate WoOand I’m a casual brew enjoyer (i press spinning to replace tiger palm)
im looking at your other boss kills
you will not kill this boss with him
thats the only way to play brew IMO , palm sucks
you definitely shouldn't do that considering tiger palm is your biggest ST ability
and SCK is basically like whirlwind-tier
it does fucking zero dmg and doesnt interact with your kit at all
you definitely can if you're ok with being extremely suboptimal
Wadda ye mean
How bad is it
I mean tanking shouldnt be that hard right
but this guy is just straight up playing 100% wrong
dude

he didnt press the #1 priority rotational key
a single time
imagine like... if you didnt press shield slam
ever
that's the equivalent to what he's doing
Wad
I perfectly know, it’s more an alt bc I used to play brew in bfa and I still love it but I hate all these buttons, it’s more a hobby alt if you understand
and thats fine
im more talking about this guy who is talented into tiger palm
but is pressing SCK 15x per minute on other fights
when it shouldnt be pressed ever unless you are willingly playing the bad build that doesnt have tp
Yes bc I do more than 250k pikes with bad talents on my 600 ilvl brew
I
Idk mang she is a sub tank
I tried to give tips before and got scolded and since i dont know how to brew i just stfu
XD
blackout kick > keg smash > tiger palm
do not press SCK
might be time for new guild
But when she tanked with another tank and i was dpsing
We got to p2
If the other tank wasn't ripping aggro, you got to P2 just by timer
Just dps the fight I had to do it in pug/ and then my guild when we got to the fight
It was a dh/dk
So i assume warrior burst dps is stupid
she legitimately just needs to ask for help and/or read the guides
because she doesnt know the bare basics of playing brew
Idk im too socially inept with woman to bring up this case
Maybe ill send it to some guildie and say its a problem LOL
well at least they are not blaming you for ripping aggro
bring it up with gm/raid lead
No they are they are
Yep I knew it
Something is very wrong... its so bad yit had you questioning your very spec saying we may be the issue
This is raid leads problem
I kept thinking i taunt
But why would i i was dpsing
well at least you are not artifically lowering your gameplay for any reason whatsoever
nothing worse than allowing some numbskulls tell you to play worse
and then you actually doing that
Well yea
I kinda properly started learning the game in SL season 3 and 4
Learned that spending rage felt good
Really fucking good
I have /gquit guilds due ot situations you are in
APM WARRIOR PLS
I will never stop pressing my buttons at the maximum ability I am able to for any reason whatsoever
nothing worse than others trying to bring me down
you say that but as a dps player
if i "try to parse" on adds that need to die, im in the wrong
Spending rage is good
however

Yea funny how new thunderclap takes priority
Takes me back to bfa
Just thunderclap lmao
I am old school, if a dps dies due to mob aggro, I am often blaming myself tbh
You're just doing the mechanics, if that results in a good parse then bonus
I cream every clap
Sorry but made me laugh
But thanks
Yea i kept thinking im fucking up lol
Well i am on tank busters but
Aggro side guess not me
Okay if you want your brew to stop using spin, give them this Weak Aura!
wait she is spinning crane kicking a single target boss
yes
Weapons of order and niuzao 18 seconds into the fight half bloodlust is already gone
brings a whole new meaning to xalatoes
this is just one of those social problems of very mixed skill/investment guilds
the paths forward are basically either someone else tanks or someone trusted helps her improve
you know what must be done.. I will type it out for you.. all that you must do is copy.. paste.. and hit enter.. I will show you the door.. it is you who must enter it.. :
/gquit

i’m guessing there’s a social connection here, it’s just an aotc guild
oh..
I see you got paladins @queen hemlock they can BoP you on pull and she just taunt before ansurek cast liquefy
She takes the boss first, when she get liquefy you cancel aura taunt
And from that point she just taunt before every liquefy
you guys should 3 tank it
Why stop at 3

So he can rip aggro on two tanks
unironically 3 tanked queen last night just for fun and basically on final phase its not bad, 1 dude gets the infest runs away, 2nd tank takes gorge, 3rd tank taunt
LOL
Would love it
I’m always sad I have to not attack those adds because « huh you can just leap to get them far », fucking dks get all the cookies
Who has some good vids/guides to nerd out on
35% movespeeding towards them to steal my dps
well the guild is nice but they wanna push mythic and all
Mythic+ right ?
Right ?
im very very hesitant
i feel like its those moments where ill start screaming
you not parsing at the very fucking least purple
face turns into M+ 10
if a guild wants to push mythic it means they are at most getting 4 and quitting
yes
ah oke so ill put it out there
You must have been through some weeklys no leaver no poop no shower these past weeks, I feel bad
Finding a mythic guild as a tank 🗿
As a not bdk tank 🗿
im a dps main, i tank for fun because its fun
pretty easy too but not gonna lie, when people die or something i pin it on me as a tank
maybe i didnt position well
maybe i didnt move enough
maybe the ground markers werent good enough
i obviously didnt micro manage(look at sense progging)
Even when you're not at fault it's a good mental exercise to try and think how you could have played to change the outcome, great improvement mentality
I am Happy
the people are great really, the plays meh
not gonna lie i dont enjoy playing +9s due to how stressful they are
Even in pug ?
pugging is already stressful
with some of them
it's 100% not gonna time
Are you EU player ?
no
oce
Fuck would have asked you if you need help to « calm down » for few keys
ah nah i would have burdened you for sure
Not really, you seemed to understand and listen what strangers on a class discord, I don’t really mind not being with Jeventestv on his dogshit dk
Nothing says you're dogshit faster than having TV in your name ngl
are you guys doing t8 delves with brann as dps or heals? just gearing up my prot alt now
currently im just doing heals with porcelain + amorphous not sure if thats the way to go though
I love him but everyday I come to see his stream he is always in a pug siege 12, im glad he joined the thunder blast alpha enjoyers club
Nobody shit talked Grom?
what u pushin bud

get pushed out of the guild
LOL
"They're paying me in Gamer Gummies?!"
The professor is gaming again and nothing will stand in his way
full of bangers
someone give me the motivation to push keys instead of stopping once i get all portals like i always do
AHAHAH the queen pull
You'll be able to tell someone else on the Internet that you're better than them
Have you ever heard of the 12s pug hell ?
My sincere hope is that the reactions are for the views / content because he must surely know he's dying to stupid shit that is his own fault
And that's as someone who finds it amusing
But if he's serious, it's mental 😂
grom when hes not streaming is very fucking good
Ya as I expected, for the views then
i have a 12 NW that i dont wanna run 
Don’t do the gatekeeper pull even if they ask you
do it coward
2 mobs to kick drain -> ofc drain on healer when gatekeeper is casting -> ofc they all have all 11s 2k7 rio -> ofc half 2k6-7 healer will just not heal it
the colorblind mode LMAOOOOO
Ngl idgaf what the dps or healers think about the pulls or route
Bros come a dime a dozen
« Huh but if you take that gatekeeper you can skip 2 pack of 2-3 mobs you would do with other packs » hon hon hon
Hello dear tank mates 😉
My guild is at ovinax and i'm benched a few weeks.
Anyway.
I want to know if there is a cap on haste ?
Ty 😉
you cant reach it so as of this season: no
Bc he plays prot tank
Hard haste
I think it's 30% pure from stats
if dont learn dont listen how to improve lmao,
and honestly this discord helped me from a stupid grey parser
What is the correct stat value ?
thats also the first DR
which means nothing
its 10% only
we still go haste past that
stop gemming and enchanting when you get tooooo
there's no cap this season, again, keep going haste
25000?
I love spreading hate
whatever the first limit is
Haste*
we go up to 100% haste
