Ah ok wasn't sure because I know the buff icon has a delay
at least I haven't noticed any that would impact the choice of embellishment
if you raid a lot, then ascendance weapon is also good option if you don't want to use threads
Got ya makes sense
just got ara kara trinket.. just how good is it anyway
yes
feel like my mark of khardros is better tho?
yeah I guess i will unqeuip my organ
yeah, one on use and one passive
can't comment on that, don't have organ and never simmed it
Awesome thanks for the explanation, I'll have to check this out
will sim it
you just send organ with lust so it stacks up fast
then mandate after, since the target will undoubtedly have lost health so it does slightly more damage
yeah I really like organ but I guess I will switch to ara kara
there you go then
both do nature damage maybe my queen ring like it a lot
aoe sims probs are close anyways, i'd just use sac + khadros
khadros mastery will beat it
yeah I think just gonna use sac and khadros for now
oh, i just saw the news that gilded crests drop from +8s now
yeah thats why we were talking about alts earlier
๐ข
they can't fool me, i've read this before
everything happy is actually sad
I am happy

You never learned to read?
11 NW, yes, bsv, i'd like to read mainly how much work defensive trinkets actually did, and how many times BSV triggered on unneeded spots
only classic logs, which is reading casts and thats it p much
dmg
lmk what you fellas think
general advice welcome
Use a better tabard
with roar I sim alot more in AoE over spear
roar better for colossus
hey there anyone knows how to fight 3rd boss in city of threads?
tried doing a 10 and everyone (except me) dies when he pluses the second time
there are orbs coming andif anyone grabs it they most certainly die during the pulse
my point is do i tell people not to grab orbs during the pulse?
everyone should be grabbing orbs
zero orbs want to reach boss
but I guess you as tank should take as many as possible
first triggered correctly
but your shaman wasnt healing
mm well let me list a few things
my team was
prot warrior
mage
warlock
dh
and a resto druid
we practially only have 1 invul to absorb the orbs during pulse
and even when i drop shield wall and SR i was almost dead due to the pulse
while my healer and 1 dps was almost certain to drop even without picking an orb
top row is the last heal he did on you
2nd to last row is when it proc'ed
well there's a riptide in row 4 i guess
the affix doesnt seem to help either
im not sure if its the resto druid fault or what not
and im not even sure if i can tank any more orbs beyond the first (stupid tank buster gives -30% healing debuff)
yeah i did
we bricked a 12 like 10 seconds before
we keep trying to do the gorilla pull
into the gatekeeper
btw it only proc'ed twice the entire key
a guildie just said people pay 15k gold to be carried in timewalking dungeons.. is this true or fake news
the note is your shaman isnt healing and that you should press healing pot instead of a mit trinket
this one is a questionable proc
for real
was your shaman dead? let me check
jesus fuck
idk who he was healing but it wasnt you
nope he def wasnt dead
anyway have fun paging
00:38 and 10:44
Soloed Mythic 3 SoB first boss lol
I'm using what I believe to be the generic wowhead M+ talents, but I'm looking to drop something for Bitter Immunity this week, any suggestions on what I can/should cut
bitter immunity is a 3 min cd, are you sure you want to do that?
cheers big man
Am i sure? No. Am i tired of healers in low keys just not doing the affix on me? yes lol
if they aint doin it on you then they probably aint doin it on everyone
so its still goin off
i suggest you IV and/or health pot instead
That's fair lol
I kinda thought this might be the answer since i literally couldn't see anything that i'd want to cut for it, but I figured I'd ask thanks ya'll
i know swarmlords is like, bis defensive, you think the taunt one did anything or is that a hard no
based off what you read btw
is Swarmlord trinket good? seeing alot of people using it
its ok
not the best, but the better one is not exactly farmable
so probably the best farmable one heh
someone offering me 50k should i sell
up to you
true, thank you!
just get hero version of it week 1 like me
Iโve just been using my fury trinks and been vibing.
all of this is hard to say
as a prot warrior what do yall do about the arcane slash in mists?
I canโt get a timed mists run and it hurts me
do you mean anima slash?
from the maze people
reflect it and spell block it
is it blockable
And hope to god my healer looks at my bars.
__spell__blockable, anyway you can find more in the sheet thats pinned or 3rd link in #protection-faq
has a full list of blockables, reflectables, and spellblockables
Oh my god, Iโm terrible at this. I didnโt know the majority was spell blockable
youre not terrible, you just didnt know
but now you know and knowing is half the battle
Nah, I just bricked an 8 earlier bc I died to some of those mechanics lmaoooo, got my 2k regardless tho
Can you taunt rashanan during the cast
sorry,
If you taunt during rashanan's tank swap cast, will he still hit the other guy then swap to you for next swing
Yes
1st pull of NW... just ur avg mage player
hmm. if i use swarmgland, should i replace taunt refractor or swarmlord's i wonder
open to ideas
wait, like taunting as soon as the 1 min cd isu p?
you complained about losing agro to one of your friends didnt you?
aye
i use taunt since it's short cd
cause youre activating the trinket with that taunt is my point
and save shout for oh-shits
so its never going to be up when you need it
does that make sense?
so in your specific scenario, swarmlord might be better
and explain to me what might make taunt better
i thought i'd want to use it on cd
which now i say it out loud seems a lil weird
well its a min cd
do you trust yourself with taunting to grab threat and activating refracting due to this
i think so, yeah
actually, i have a log, and it happened once this dungeon, so i can see why!
i lost aggro during the 3rd pack into the necropolis, i can see what he casted, and what i casted
activating when you least need it because you had to taunt
do delves
get a silken chain
replace those 2
๐
trying. i need to do bountifuls when i can
i want hero track or not worth
u can pray from vault too
yeah but
that trinket aint being picked with full myth slots
maybe later in the season
best way to find a map is to not try and find a map
true and real
damn well... have to wait from vault or map.
desire sensor? 
to be fair
whats important about that trinket isnt really track related
so champ is also fine
to be fair if you want to keep your legs old man you'll stop being so smart and tell me what i want to hear
"your pretty. you did nothing wrong. yes, anthrax needed to be express mailed to blizzard hq"
Oh while nim is still here, if we using mandate's active... can we still block? during that about 1 secs channel.
oh shoot means have to be careful on the timing for using it.
wrong. send it. flame healer
I see I see.. btw am I crazy if I use it for first pull during raid? like timer on 1 secs then I start casting, when timer 0 and pull I dealt the damage.
M Rasha'nan:
2 Prot Warrior tanks
Thoughts on each eating a 2stack and atlernating that way? I find it lines up better with defensives
you usually stagger it valk
cause it does more damage the less hp the target has
but
its fine to send it as you pull
does anyone know how stacking % damage reductions work
multiplicative
so if i take 1000 spell dmg in def stance with spell reflect its 1000 x 0.9 x 0.8 = 720?
ic ty
let me double check my math though
i play arms but i figured the prot channel would know lol
hey sorry i gotta ask, is there youtube channel i can watch for a +10 break down on all keys and bosses?
where they explain what they do etc
found myself not knowing how to complete let alone timing alot of these bosses
hi guys
I just did a +10 grim batol
i took a lot of damage and it hurt a ton
someone help me out???
what am i doing wrong here.
yeah thats how its calculated
is that shield block uptime?
im sure im misreading that
ty
actually no i was wrong
Press shield block
if this is 30% shield block then ye press shield block
nvm im gaslightning myself
its right lol
its fucking late haha
maintain shield block yea
but i can't press shield block when i have a 2h on
hmm
are you a dps?
should i always be wearing a shield???
please use a shield
But then my damage won't be so high ๐ฆ
ok well, youre not doing anything wrong, carry on
500% perfect breakdown and uptime
(for legal purposes that was very much not my buff summary)
but that was in a 10 grim batol
with a tank who was not wearing a 2h
did u time it
genuinely may have been the single worst prot warrior i've played with in a real key
apparently there's a lot of them
because someone linked a reddit post today with some garbage ass prot also in it
to be fair, many things are not clear for new prots. i say this as someone who had their mind blown like 4 times.
ignore pain stacking and purely being a rage dump
shield block stacking at all
i was exhausted because i used to think i had to track 8 sec shield block
true
he was almost 2500
thats on whoever accepted that guy
Now youโre a based god and have a shield block + ignore pain macro
wrong
i dont use ip sheild slam macro
im in my prime
the craziest part is like
he didn't even press avatar
i think he actually didn't press it once
haha
no shield wall
guy is deffo playing a different game
yeah its a reddit post so its very unlikely
anyway yeah, goes to show yet again that io isn't indication of anything
not that 2.5k is high but still
right
im not against io in anyway, just to be clear
but no system is perfect, is my point
nor absolute
there you go lol
i hate it here

bad pug tanks
this is the reason we always ask for logs
and we instantly check effective SB uptime
???
no i didnt know funky was griefing on purpose
he did it with fyralath
but it was just vault keys
in DF
not in TWW, or so i hope
its a good meme
i enjoyed it
Someone said in the comments how details shield block/ironfur/sotr uptime looks lower for others than it really is
Idk how true it is but yeah
Apparently goes from 80-90 to as low as 10-20
Nah those comments don't go looking for that info
Buggy
nah
They started complaining about the most dumb shit
i havent seen anyone linking details here with garbage uptime

i would notice
just that reddit post and whatever werhammer posted
no
Oh ok
neither does
Build it up so high then go into next pack with shield charge
Details is entirely in combat
Thats why damage is higher for example
Than on logs
Oooh right
Pretty hard to have poor uptime on block nowadays
logs cut off after a timeframe
not immediately
but they do cut off
either way logs have effective uptime which is what is most important
i had a fun tank feedback moment in a 5 today
this week is poison totem affix wdym
the cd affix was dogshit
Last week was the good one
its not bad its just the worse one

cringe activation
and dr instead of just stats
which doesnt apply to all cds
like ravager
why
Dispel yourself
you must be trolling
Yea he seems clueless

Why not
Cleanse
Because the time it takes to kill that stupid girl, destroys every benefit
Yeah why not no shaman do it yourself
no you have no shaman

Yo can do it yourself with last stand + iv instant. But itโs not an issue
So using a cd for it
Which bitter immunity isnโt
Bring another
the affix is
It cleanses and heals after
pay 25 bucks and swap to dwarf
You are as sharp as your discord picture sorry to tell u
non issue?

nah
Do you guys ever feel like weโre posting at the bottom of an infinite ocean of text. With weeks and weeks and months and months of posts above us
You could scroll forever
And weโre at the bottom

sometimes
and yet, life found a way for you to type that
which embellishment for sword damage one or the stat increase
Do you mean focal lens and dusk/dawn?
you cant do linings on sword
ya
You should check the faq
what is IV short for
Yeah so go for lens if itโs sword.
Inpending victory
Lens is only single target increase
Alternating stone form and IV+LS ๐
I was in a pug with two shamans and 0 poison cleansing totems ๐คก

You canโt even fathom
On another note would say the main issue getting into 11-12โs you see the weakness in prot warrior start to become noticeable
๐ค
Or let em die while you laugh 
Unblockable damage is gg, and poor self sustain in higher keys
rotate cds
The main weakness is getting invited to a pug and it has nothing to do with class
we have like a bajillion of them
wonโt have cds up for every pull
i wonder how prots are pushing 14s then
i hope you do
But you do!
with subpar talents too
shield wall is 50secs long, last stand, rallying, health pot, spell block
Not alot of unblockable attacks if you add in spell block properly used
i think he means bleeds
Aug abusing
first pack of grim batol wants a word with you

Couple siege pulls are kinda ass too
Well 12s are about to get alot easier will nerf to affix unless it got reverted
necrotic wake gatekeeper wants a word with you aswell
atleast itโs getting nerfed finally
Spell block!
you mean for the 3rd time
was overturned as shit
not really finally
And alot of them are using bsv
wall every 45s unless you playing scuffed double wall
deals very well with bleeds outside of dwarf
Don't need damage if your ass is gonna die
yoda plays double wall
thread over
howโs it scuffed
alright im heading to bed
Yoda also did a colossus run on a 13 dawn
There should be a yoda exception
yoda also made the most troll fucking guide in the face of the earth
i mean isnโt he considered one of the best why not copy his talents
wat am i missing
Where link
best doesnt mean at his class


How bad would his build have to be to not time it with his group
Hypothetically
Say a 12
i dont wanna link it, but you can search for it
with his group so i assume you are saying his group are all top tier players
would be giving more hits to that absolute garbage
it means you are looking at something and blindly copying something instead of trying to formulate why he could have done something different
๐
they are all top tier players, that doesnt mean he plays warrior correctly though
His group is also consistent with great players
you can play wrong talents and still complete content
I'd never follow his strats
you are a ๐
You can be a good, even great, multi class tank and play an odd build
if he can survive with whatever garbage build he has and time the key, that's enough
It is possible
i mean i timed 12 batol with his talents so

I play with shit talents and I time keys

whats your point
yes thats what i said
They are shit talents
Until you can tell me when the 2nd shield wall charge is used, you donโt know why that talent is chosen
Less wall; less rage

WAKE UP SHEEPLE
๐
What are good stat weights for prot

stat weights are outdated sim yourself instead


Stack haste and not mastery

Mastery isnโt bad, itโs just last
Iโm mastery heavy cuz of fury gear ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Master baited

hard to differentiate them nowadays
yeah youre not wrong
Someone told me this 
@onyx vessel alright man stop trolling now youโre giving us real trolls bad rep
christ
double shield wall in your talents for sure
Not a troll was viable
sounds like shit ngl
Nah ain't that troll always got the right one cd on block
Ain't running thunderlords tho
So I'm trolling

its time for some rizz
im gonna try it in pugs if it sucks ill leave the key
Extra button

Good Morning Boys. Im getting abused to tank the M+ weeklys for my Guild.... Which Dungeons are scary ? Only ran Mists so far and there was literally only one scary Thing.
ive bricked so many pug keys ngl following yodas so called strata once i started running colossus i timed keys
feels good to be out of rio hell
depends
Are you running colossus

dont forget Defender's Aegis
Ran both Speccs and liked MT more because of endless Rage.
What key level we talking here baby talk to me
ok chill guys
Just 10s
Just 10s
no dungeon is particularly scary, just take a look at the sheet that's pinned, so you know what to use on what hurts
Oooo disrupting shout over thunder lord
Better then me
trolling aside, MT is vastly superior
What are we dick measuring about now?
Move over bub
Should be dropping the stam for disrupting
All small versus yodas defending aegis

Why arenโt you running Thunderlord?
Doesn't matter what he plays he's going to time the key carried by group
Oh thx ! I will have a look.
kek

Nim what the fuck
Cuz dumb
the only scary part about dungeons is not knowing
โฆenduring alacrity?!?
Ye
Okay but itโs numerically superior in damage and survivability
thats the true yoda man
Don't need armor if you gonna die to bleeds
Generally bloodsurge dropped for disrupting
Best way to time a dungeon is to int that dungeon and then not do the bad things you did
dawnbringer trash is pretty scary imo but thatโs up to you to decide
๐๐ผ

Shoulda dropped earth ele on cds
grim batol isnโt that bad after running it everyday since m+ launch
How does this Weeks affix wirk exactly ?
cba with df dungeons though they are some absolute dog shit
Its fun spell reflecting and running into all the tentacles
ah you can take multiple tentacles with spell reflect?
hm
What is reflect able
Last boss tentacles you can reflect them
You donโt ask questions about spell reflect interactions
Doesn't proc it
Can run into a bunch
So many questions
Probably
They do 0 damage and as many as you can hit in 5 seconds
Didn't check
It's on the reflect thing in discord
why does that work
Well known
You do not ask questions about why spell reflect does what it does
Like how you can intervene spell reflect the first boss of necrotic wake
Kinda dumb but yeah reflect balanced
And it does no damage
Knew about this one yeah
Doesn't it do dmg to you
Very op
Never tried it
I donโt think you can spell reflect it though? Just intervene and the damage will go to you obviously
Spell blockable
Not enough damage to be noticeable if it does. Idk I donโt ask questions I intervene spell reflect
is there a spreadsheet with intervene uses
Saves the squishy dps from getting damaged
i knew about some but you never know there are some weird sht with warrior this season
Safeguard
friendly tip! dont forget to intervene your melee bros in NW while a marauder is casting his cleave so you can give him a crucial 400k magic shield from the casters!
cleave = downtime cast!
(meme)
Yeah intervene the melee behind the cleave guy gets him killed 
yeah so the 400k magic shield can block one spell
Cleaves the rest of the group
u dum?

c:
i warn my friends to stay away during the marauder pulls
i sometimes need that fucker spun because of awkward patrol routes

Pull a triple there
aye

i do
yea but not because yoda does
my healer and dps friend held me at gunpoint
i did it to make them shoosh
:c
i miss shield charge
i feel like a neutered dog
BSV is so fine and shouldnโt get the hate
You dropped shield charge for it
You mean ravage

Right?


It's not shield charge hits so hard and generates most rage
Ainโt no way
Hell no
Bro what
What level key are you doing??
dropping ravager or shield charge for it is ass
just drop one of the stat nodes
just wanna confirm but now that dstance doesnt have dmg loss, u guys sittin in d-stance for 10+ or battle?
Pretty much yeah, except some bosses I swap to battle stance for phases where no dam goes out
And I can hit huge crits
I have unbound my stance button because I canโt be bothered for 3% crit and forgetting to go back into dr mode
So do people actually drop bloodsurge for disrupting
No
some ppl do yeah
Lmao
you gotta do what you gotta do to live
i just hate dying in battle stance, feels like im throwing
Same
Legit so unnecessary
wdym it makes you less tanky to skip bloodsurge
if youre dying go to defensive stance
Only reason you use too was cuz -10%dmg
If this ever happens Iโd suggest unbinding it and staying perma D stance
+3% Crit
You also lose 6% magic dr
There are enough things to worry about and thatโs not one of them
Only if you skilled it

That's why I prefer collos
I prefer unbinding revenge
you never do that

Mountain Thane allows you to fulfill your class fantasy of playing like a fucking idiot /j
Then what do you spend ur rage on
Is there a dungeon people actually play disrupting shout or was that a meme
It's nice in COT ngl
IP and you just press your buttons enough and cast fast enough that youโre constantly blowing huge outburst shield slams
I do for every dungeon
Cuz lazy
And you dropโฆthunder lord?
Iโm finishing 11โs with like 1.1mil doing that
wdym lazy lol

cap
Without ever using revenge ?
you only drop bloodsurge for it if you want
but you shouldnt
you have to use revenge to apply deep wounds in aoe
I can do another 11 NW and take screenshots of it if you want
Itโs not hard
I havenโt felt the need for a like 5th stop yet
How do you manage sv last trash pack
Rarely pressing it yeah
dont pull them together
spell block
1.1 in tnw is light work lol
People pull those together? Lol
Yeah thatโs one of the highest damage potential spots here
Or pull bothwith disrupting
I could probably do higher if I had decent trinkets
Yea
by who
Just donโt pug those of dull brain
the talent sucks
enduring alacrity
yeah thats reportable

I told him that he doesn't listen

I've grown use to disrupting now though
I need help
can i see your talents?

Itโs pretty much just Senseโs build
Sense sheep
Nah
Choosing the right sheep is half the battle
If he does something wrong Iโll say it
Thatโs why Iโve not said Sense is doing it wrong
He doesn't though
Gigachad
Not even glazing just acknowledging
Is senses build the one on wowhead or is it something else
Show for the people
Iโll post in a sec
Guessing like bsv and stamina nodes or something
Absolutely not
Err, that's the high key build yeah
But like
The Sense build we're talking about
Where you can be doing ~1.1mil with no mythic raid gear
It's different
his build is solid even for higher keys
high keys only refer to +12s or higher
This part
before then play whatever u want
I will admit that without raid gear, the hyper-defense build makes everything a LOT easier
And you can still do a lot of dam on it if you're good
Can someone pls post the talent build we are talking about
(in 12s)
So whatโs the offensive build?
Yes I am logging in rn
This type of shit
Because I check on murlok sense he is a mountain thane, kinda curious of coloss build
Colossus is raid build typically
streaming colossus keys rn
Screenshot
Itโs just a default build with itf am I missing something
Thatโs the default build yes
Nah
With itf
Shredders in siege shouldn't exist, any +13 and up routes for siege?
Oh lol ok
I got baited
- Correct
- lemme drop one
I basically run this and swap off ravager/revenge dam and bsv/magic talent depending on how Iโm feeling
Except I donโt have pain and gain I use bounding stride instead
Gotta go fast
Didnโt they change that or was that just a rumbling
They changed it and then reverted it
I havenโt used an invis pot this expansion
Because they are cowards
lol
I was gunna say the siege gun guys
Shredders are fucking brutal
Shredders need to be skipped if not running with aug + bleeding removes or eat floor
And the bleed
Funny thing, you can stop the cast but not out range it since it counts as a range attack (as far as I've tried lol)
is there a list of good intervenable spells like the frontal of the first boss in necrotic wake?
The ones who does that
Watch World Of Warcraft 2024.10.11 - 10.01.28.06.DVR.mp4 and millions of other World of Warcraft videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
was this a justifiable crash out

Scary things happens
No bop
Big red arrow is not enough sometimes you know
xD
Just almost 2 chested a 12 Mists with Bondd
Feelsgoodman
Only did 885k overall tho with the pussy build
nice job carrying an old man
Which pussy build ?
i love that build already! whats the build?
I donโt know what is the pussy build but I do want pussy
I mean I want the build for science
๐คญ
Wait until someone creates a bbc build
big burly collosus builds?
Maybe Big booty colossus build, I donโt know what would bbc stand for but I have a feeling it would be a colossus one
I feel like if I was a colossus I would love bbc whatever it would stand for
hey. i wanna tank some m+ with my warry. Played arms till now. how hard is it to get into warry tanking? i tanked with DK, DH and Monk so i know how tanking works but is it wort to try prot?
warrior tanking is not difficult
my personal experience of all the tanks minus VDH is that its the smoothest
its just keeping shield block up, having ignore pain up
difficulty doesnt matter for me. so you say i should give it a try?
yeah of course, if you dont try it, you wont know if you like it as well.
i also got like 615 gs dps gear so i shoud be fine in lower dungeons?
and trying is free
if its lower mythic plus dungeons, you can do them to try it out
the issue that you will face as a new tank in m+
is knowing routes, knowing how to fix if someone butt pulls
and which defensives to pop during which pack
but thats a tank thing, not a warrior specific thing
thats not the problem also not the problem with routes. as i sayed i am familiar to tank ๐ 1st season i tryed dps ๐
okay nice thx ๐ then i will give it a shot ๐ i also got a crap shield and crap 1h mace ๐ XD
ik warr was busted rn when I went into a tier 8 delve with freshly dinged warr and had easier time than on my 611 brm

if u are rich/desperate/lazy. can craft the 610pvp weapons/shield
yes thats the only think i tryed tank XD but i doont know how to obtain alot of rage to permanently shield block up and having ignore pain up
i am mor liek a grinding person. will grind some 3+ keys for weapons then ๐
its ok, prot warrior is swimming in rage
oh okay ๐
Canโt you free upgrade it to 619 ?
With my usual build this would have been probably like 1.1mil but alas
Was going for 2 chest route type shit
๐คจ
So I played with the default 12 route
should be swimming in rage yeah
idk. only have maxed 2h weps does this effect also shields and 1h?
the only times im in a sutiation where I have no rage for sb is when i go way too hard on ip spam

but even that is a personal skill issue
well the only time i tanked earlyer with warry was in classic vanillas as fury prot so i have to find out XD
yeah if u have a 2h at say 619, then any 1h and shield should be free on crests
until that ilvl
is wowhead good for m+ talents or do we have other sources to get a goot build?
its fine
