is Throngus's Finger any good? Drops in Grim Batol
No
ty
Got this from Timewalk Ulduar, is it any good?
I hear for Prot Silken chain weaver is very good for M+ , as i got lucky with a heroic drop of it. Wondering how good? im starting to get use to transmitter for the most part now. But i i start to reach +10s would rather play it a little more safe, if silken is that good .
Ive tried trech transm and its strong if you utilize it properly but sometimes you get no value from it
Favorite so far is mad queen as I often use it to execute mobs that need to die quick or the mob with the highest hp
random question from my offspec adventures, when do you actually press the swarmlord trinket? am i correct in saying that all of the defensive part is passive and the on use is just a single target damage effect?
how do u guys handle the triple pack in stonevault that gives u stacking damage taken? i managed to time a 12 by pulling all 3 insta, blowing my entire kit and kiting
but that seems wrong
that is the only pack that causes issues for me in the entire dungeon
just kite to drop stacks when you feel like you need it
well in my case i feel like instantly dropping them cause i get to 10 really quick
help guys
I just joined a key and someone said
this is oce, you good with that
what do they mean!?
Oceania server, you might get higher ping if you're playing from US
WHERE is list of things to spell reflect and spell block
Original WA: https://wago.io/IkerOKywU Tells you when to reflect in Dragonflight dungeons and raids. Triggers only when
instead of no problem ive been trying to use glad to help or something that doesnt make it seem like it was an inconvience
im particular when it comes to communicating in wow
always GG after timed key in chat no matter what
where does it show up? on top of character?
in the middle of your screen
is that the best place for it? usually my character is in th e middle
the best place is where you are going to see it and it wont obscure crap
sometimes windows capture doesnt get a good snapshot
should i macro my dwarven racial to any defensive skill?
when you do a screenshot or snip screenshot
what do we craft for m+? shield with vers emb?
check #protection-faq
what do you guys do about the pulling of first boss for threads, cuz when you agro him he pulls in, so you only get 1 chance to charge, or you have to pre avatar or some crap
cuz then, i notice, on that fight, i get hit melee unblocked first 10 seconds
so, when i try to run it on a 10
Hi all.
Just joined the discord but been playing prot warrior since DF. I've been super enjoying colossus, is it a viable hero spec? Everytime someone sees me play it, its like im treated like a crazy person for not going thane lol.
It does the big damages
oh, you are col
i dont play that much, i didnt like missing the last big hit cuz trash died to first 1 or 2 hits
id imagine its only worse in keys
wdym
I do love them big ignore pains and demolishes
u dont get the dmg
i like col, but demolish drives me crazy
Nah, been 2 chesting 8s mostly just to start farming up the crests since I gave up on the DK.. š
i want to like vampire bdk
I dont mind it š
most enjoyable tank ive played is blood followed by vdh
havent played bear brew or 2nd prot pala
until you get meleed for 100% of your hp
ehh thats DRs and purg
possible (probable) skill issue too lol
bdk for keys is hidden gem
Its same with pwar
You look at their defensives as a healer if they have none you pay attention to them
Id say bdk is harder yer
kinda, the harder part is they have sw and its on very long cd and then after that basically nothing, maybe lichborne
Pwar is so forgiving
Bdk is very easy too but when 1 tank has to worry about melee swing sync and being oneshot its objectively harder
BDK just gets to a point where u get globalled and then no amount of self-healing will help u
but they have deathstrike and AMS AMZ
And you have shield block
amz is whole party magic protect
And Ignore Pain, and impending, and. and. and.. š
well, targeted area
Bdk pwar and bear are all very easy
Other tanks are harder
Not sure about brew but i think its harder
a noob would have fun playing a bdk because its simplistic in nature
run in and attack the dudes with your sword
People just think that dk is fine just deathstriking
In the FAQ, there is a War Within channel that I can't access, is this normal? #1230018936427515924 message
But ib reality its the same as pwar
yeah thats fine
You dont press a defensive before big thing you die
Btw mythic raid does no damage wtf is that
ty
It is viable but its eorse than thane in keys for defensive reasons
As in less rage generation
You still have your class kit and its what makes you strong
Ij raid you literally need nothing it does zero damage
Brew rotation is so smooth its a pleasure to just play it
the heroic silken court still quite hurt though at least for me.
Dunno i tanked it on friday both bosses in battle stance
i think brew is prob closest to dps
I got bamboozled with no crits in dage amp phase
Well they have dps buttons in tank spec so yea
Is thane that better defensively?
Other tanks just press different stuff
If you arent doing very hard 12 and above keys youre fine
I cant give you numbers its feelycraft for me
Im up to 10s at moment
But you have less rage
Youre fine in 10s
Olay whatever you like
Base prot spec in insanely strong and will carry you even with no hero talents
Until you get 3 anima slashes and a bite and youre not a dwarf when you will need an external probably
But it will be same with thane
Well.. I do hope we got some juicy ravager improvement talent. Althought at this point I also doubt we have extra point to take it.
I dont like pressing ravager
finally got enough guilded crests, do i recraft my shield or replace my hero track duelist dancing steel?
general discussion chad group general discussion chat of this server
Hey, why is the armor leg enchant prefered for prot ?
cuz armor increases str by a tiny but amount
ahh okay ^^
Long version from nome
is wow analyzer updated for prot?
good to know ^^
Whats duelist dancing steel
Id recraft shield tho i still have a 619
But im just greedy
is haste vers the best stat for prot or is haste crit better?
For 99% of the playerbase crit/haste. Prots clearing 15s right now seem to start stacking haste/vers to survive oneshots i guess.
maybe a dumb question but, is the Generals Heart on Hero Treck worth to take it?
i currently own a void pact stone Hero Track and Oppressive Orators Larynx on Hero Track.
Generals Heart seems quite weak, but want to get clarification
sounds quite shit
thats what i thought, reducing physical dmg on proc and only around 44k, but just wanted to get clear
Yep
Hey guys, sometimes i Forgot to refresh my ShieldBlock
Do you know if a WA exist with a voice alert like « Raise your Shield ! » ??
Wouldn't be too hard to make one: aura missing shield block, load in combat and make it play the noise
Haven't seen one tho
Sikran 1 hand str sword I think
Hey not sure if I'm missing something, how are people playing into the fray without bolster and maintaining shield block?
you have to got enough haste that's how
if not enough haste then heavy repercussion
i keep hearing 35 40 and 42.xy% haste for take itf
i believe it was, take itf at 42.xy% due to, it brings you to 50% haste which then you would have 100% uptime on block
i say 40 to keep it simple, first number i heard, i dunno how ppl are getting 35% though
clarification would be nice, maybe its different settings?
Man I'm already at 17k haste, I geuss a bit more must make a large impact. Fair enough, thanks!
Is that addon for checking diminishing returns on stats? Whatās the name?
is there a spell block addon similiar to spell reflect essentials? which instances should I run spell block over bolster?
the raid haste crit sword
any way to turn off so i dont hear roar shout every time i use an ability?
U can stack it to 24 seconds so just stack dat sheet
Bit of an odd idea that I am too dumb to work out myself.
I want to create some sort of WA that shows castbars for mob casts on my party members. I want to make them clickable, so that I can intervene the target of the casted spell by clicking. Does any1 know if this exists already as either a WA or addon?
... or if its even possible?
I assume it's possible, as the functionality isn't far from the healbot addon for healers
I realize there is a channel specifically for this type of discussion. I will post it there
Does liquify tank buster scale with raid size on heroic? My RL is concerned about it
I'm not good of a player and still finishing my 10s but IMO I can't see myself to drop spell block. Most dungeons have those unavoidable hard ticking magic AOE's that are completely trivialized by spell block. I've seen some ppl drop shield charge to take BSV and then take bolster for the additional SB charge tho.
Iām curious too
But I'm not running BSV before 12s, at 619 I still feel pretty much invincible at 10s and the only times I get close to die is if I really messed up on my cds usage
Heās asking about an addon for Spell Block though and I think thatās the #1 problem with Spell Block.
Thereās a TON of resources and addons/WA packages for Spell Reflect, and almost 0 resources for Spell Block right now besides āmemorizationā.
I stopped taking Spell Block recently since utilizing the talent at 100% efficiency is extremely rare
yeah the reason I dropped spell block for bolster was that i wasnt sure how to utilize spell block well, plus additional SB charge was useful. but now i rather play spell block, just not sure where and when still
any scary pack with spell blockable damage.
for example the shadowwalkers in dawnbreaker that cast void rush, very scary, and blockable. last few packs in SV also, cast on the tank alot.
there are a lot of examples, remember to check the pins for Sense' reflect/spell block sheet
Yeah I checked a spreadsheet for bosses abilities as for packs I just pop when there's a lot of caster
The exact same resource we use for spell reflect also includes spell block info
Thatās memorization though
Which is?
I mean, what you are saying is that you need to remember what is scary and what is not, that's the same for all tanks
check the pins
Oh, youāre 100% wrong then.
You use addons/WAs/rotation helpers for Spell Reflect since itās a dps increase.
You use a spreadsheet/āyour brainā for Spell Block
what am i wrong about? š
you dont need to use any helpers for spell reflect at all, and frankly i dont think thats good advice
Sure it is, if I donāt have the time or patience to remember every mobās cast per season, and an addon exists for it
I'm still waiting for you to tell me what I am wrong about, since your only argument is you are too lazy to bother to learn this stuff
If you want to be a successful tank you need to know what is spell blockable, what it is important to save SR for.
if you just send SR whenever a WA tells you you're being targetted by SRable damage then you are gonna be caught out A LOT
It hasnāt happened yet š¤·š»āāļø
should i be switching to radiant power for m+ high keys?
My tldr is that I'm not dropping cuz for me it feels like a 30 sec shield wall in virtually all bosses. That and I'm already running 3 SB charges with SC so no need for another one.
when I see videos of high keys with a prot tank they're doing like 1m hps, how the fuck is that possible? does details count ip absorbs as healing?
yes IP is healing
yes
Indom + IP + leech gives us a lot of 'passive' HPS
oh ok that makes sense then
BSV healing amp also counts as healing
or is it the healing amp? i am not sure honestly, some component of BSV counts as healing, and I dont imagine its the DR
True Stat Value or TSV for short
the one with 500k downloads
Hi, why do we play with Champion Spear with Thane Build pls ?
yo lads I feared the fire elemental spirits in grim batol 3rd boss in hopes of protecting my group (obviously not a smart move in hindsight) and I am almost sure that this caused the elemental to re-fixate, causing a wipe. Is information on this known?
anyone here play brew at a decently high level
i would assume brewjj
it might be a no but the DF crafting stuff thats trash now hmm
Anyone messed with tanking 10s as Colossus?
fear/blind makes them instantly change target with no cast
damn. alright
I know nomer fucks with colon war from time to time in portal keys
any good auto markers gang?
wago has at least one 
anybody have a sense for how much haste is enough haste?
100%
lol ok
Highest I've gone with coloss is 8's
Swap back to MT for 9's and 10's
Guys, for protection shoulders its good ?
shoulder tier set has the worst stats no?
You guys rerolling prot pally?
I think they cast a quick spell to fixate. Don't CC them while they're casting? But tbh if your dps wasn't careful enough while they still didnt have a fixate target, it's on them
Watch nice game and millions of other World of Warcraft videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Damn you have it clipped
I think the one that spawned later just didn't have a fixate target set yet
Love and hate it when they spawn so close
Ez cleave but fixated melee becomes a risk
yea u can't use disorients or immune the fixate debuff. it will swap to closest target most likely
Fr they drop it from CC? That's mad
not stuns
That explains I don't even have fear talented lol
You can have 2 duskthreads right? For some reason its only showing the vers from one for me
Oh sweet ty!
Guys i seem to struggle against the second pull on dawnbreaker with the commander ritrualist 3 cursed blades and a shadowmage
bl it this week on high keys
Any tips to help? seems like the cursed blades and the tank buster from commander are just decimating me
lust it
ah okay
Ass dungeon
3rd boss is pretty rough without a dk or dps war
First boss is a pain in 10 and up
I just timed a CoT 10 by 2 seconds after wiping on the last boss. Pretty close to 2-chest.
Tbf had it smooth first boss but it's annoying to tank it
The run before was a 2-chested as DPS.
3rd boss is annoying
+15 necrotic wake is crazy
I can barely do my weekly 10s here
Idk about prot warr for this fight but for other tanks subjugate needs a big CD every time to not die, and itās cast like every 15 sec
And I don't like dealing with moving the last boss alot
Why are the lowest stat budget pieces prio for crafts? I must be missing something about how the stats on crafted are compared to drops
because in "bis" you have full myth track gear
Oh it's magic dmg I think, Prot warrs have it easy hahaha
it has magic and phys part no?
Between wall, spellblock, spell reflect, laststand, stacking full IP, and demo shout
Every subjucate we got smth
Never noticed physical which speaks for its self I guess
dawn 2nd boss is the one that starts to gape me at high enough key levels
those tank slams hurt
I love that as warr because we can charge and get free rage
And boss doesn't move
If it's big issue can sacrifice like 5-7% overall and stack the 2x stamina talents I guess
i'd rather take double wall at that point
you can get plater packages that change the cast bar color of something if it's reflectable and being cast on you
Wonder if it knocks back Blood DKs at all
deaths advance
Or if they have ams every hit
Yes I know, what about if itās Spell Blockable?
I should get that
But meh too lazy, I just memorize with trial and error
I wish there was a 3k score achi
title 
There is?
.1%
my personal opinion
is that the ground mount you get for 2k, which i hear is 7s all around
and then when you do all 10s, you get the flying mount
and then if you do the ultra hard modes, probably 15s by end of tww, you get the super duper elite gladiator ultra mount
Title is prob gonna be like 3.2 or 3.3
title needs to give you the super duper mount
Idk what it is rn
to get more players to get title
it's like 2850 atm
Yeah nobody is pushing yet
pika doing 15s
Theyre gearing meta classes
hes in NW
And raiding
for one
At the season end or at any point? Sry for the Qs
seasonal
end of season
TLDR ur gunna have to go through fuck loads of pain if u want that title
13s n shit
Ez
a bit more than just 13s i think
As long as it ain't like 15s
elo is there any good tips or tricks for queen HC? so a tanko can help the group
It almost certainly will be surely? People are doing 14s rn and we're 15 ilvls off the cap
might be late to the party but did they nerf spell reflect in any capacity on some bosses?
could prob do the same, like see how that spell is setup for reflect then recreate it with a different tint for blockable based on the spreadsheet?
there's probably a lot of overlap there
so you could just isolate anything that is reflect: no, block: yes and make entries for those
Does anything show if you are in 0.1% at all
u can check the cutoffs on raider io
ppl elite playes pay attention to players that can get that alone but basically nobody can
really no clue if someone already has a plater download like that out there, but generally this is about learning what's dangerous and what you can do to mitigate
the resources are out there
Nice nice
when 2x on-use trinkets (its all I have atm ) , raidbots uses 13 and then, once off the internal cooldown, slot 14?
nope
So if you play like idk Brew master, too bad lol
theres always one of each spec that gets title
its just rougher for the 'non meta' specs
i mean if your going for title by pushing your just asking for issues
At 639 full BiS can see it be like all 15s timed
Proba like 3.2-3.3k like someone said
Yeah it's all same ppl tho
Kirawarrior at 3,240 score is 626 ilvl
13 more so idk probably all timed 17-18 then
bring in the pally buffs and 14th mage rework aswell as enha rework
and itll be even higher, just not on pwar
:^)
Rly wish they made it by spec
World highest ranked tnak is a prot warr it seems
rn doesnt matter for shit
Yeah but they're a team I think
I mean it's kinda cool where they pushed to with mediocre gear and before the 20% nerf
Their rogue is also world #1
and they'll reroll when meta is decided
rogue is always good on the right player
My fave dps rn are Spymaster Balance Druids
With PI and Aug on them
Popping like 10M with BL on first 3 packs in Stonevault
They died before my wall fell off
i could care less to have boomy in group but whatever
as long as they dont stand in crap
Casual is a pumper, i used to push keys with him back in Shadowlands, we were faction locked so nobody else was playing Alliance
Big pumper
if possible, i like to stick to classes that are vanilla so to speak, such as hunter
shoots things with bow gun and does lust, sometimes pets
the silence beam is super nice sometimes tho
aoe silence only nessecary if you have to giga pull
like, 3-7 targets you can get by just fine with just kicks and stuns
Doesn't mean the guy will stay prot warrior
long as they arent ALL casters
The top people will just be playing and gearing everything
Yeah but they'll definitely occupy 5 spots in top 0.1%
And there's mdi boys who haven't even bothered to try a 15 etc
And adding to that all the other teams
Tbf cut off isn't top 100 players, because it's across all specs , right
Practice idk
A lot of them aren't is my point
And you don't really practice on live, tournament realm is where it's at
Is there a meaningful difference between the FBV/IG talent node? I feel like the bleeds don't heal for much, but it's recommended everywhere
is there any big difference between prot mountain thane and colossus? i feel so much stronger in colossus personally
thane more defensive, colon more damage
colon spam revenge, less IPs and no 8% DR
But big numbers
I can't think of any reputable guides that recommend FBV
Im sorry, not guides, im looking up raider io top players and like 4/5 have it if im not mistaken
f.e. Shuhwar rn
check #protection-faq
it doesnt matter pick one
Common trap people fall in to
We're a month in to the season with shit ilvl, many skilled prot wars aren't currently trying to push keys
That line is from preseason and hasn't been updated, but the embellishes at the bottom are correct
sim to be sure
generally haste/cit, but again you have to sim to be sure, stat values change based on the values of other stats
haste is almost always correct for prot until like end of S2/S3 but the other secondary tends to flip flop
I feel that, then go vers embellish and haste crit and don't worry too much
I've seen weapon stat embellish now a bunch. But I do like the vers since it increases max HP hit survival.
At how much haste should i swap Heavy Repercussions for Into the Fray?
45%
i think ppl just making it up now
Easier to say "Don't swap to ITF unless it's S2 or you're raid tanking"
thanks
Does anyone know of an addon that displays Ignore Pain damage/duration left and shield block uptime?
You don't need to track IP, but most WA packages will have both
weakauras
10-4, Im running Zperl and it makes seeing IP remaining a little difficult to see sometimes, but everything else is nice..
Tracking IP is useful if you're running very high keys and tank buster abilities have the possibility of 1 shotting you, but that's about it
Tracking IP is also useful when the majority of healers that i get pugged with have a hard time breaking 200k hps.
lol
The funny thing about healers in a prot war group, their heals are gonna be quite a bit lower because we're simply not taking any damage if played well
but yeah I think it took me until week 3 to see a pug healer in a sub 7 break 500k hps
I just mean mostly when I'm sitting with a flashing red screen
I'll obviously try to self heal/mitigate when possible.
but sometimes I sit way lower than I like for extended periods of time lol.
pwar ehrps is ridiculously low even in 13s/14s
if i was a healer i would fall asleep
with a pwar
my pwar is at 90%? it will take him 25 seconds to fall to 40
Yeah after like 15 wipes I decided to just solo the final boss of Arakara on an 8 a couple days ago, don't even need sustain when you don't take damage
Can someone clarify for me, is it all tanks/pwar specific/skill issue that sometimes i lose aggro from mobs when tanking?
Is it a thing to focus 'tanks target' or should i tab target often to hit all mobs with slam to generate more threat?
anyone knows a nag wa for shield block?
anyone know how do i get the debuffs on top of the nameplate?
Skill issue, either on your end or your dps not holding CDs while gathering
DPS should be cleaving off prio targets, and so should you, and in that case your aoe threat gen should be enough to hold the rest of the pack. Sometimes you'll see a random mob rip off of you, but that just means someone in the group is failing to prio the right target
does spell reflect block the first hit of liquify?
Understood, thanks
no it isnāt bc you use it the same regardless
you should focus the main enemy 99.9% of the time
main enemy is highest hp target which is almost always most dangerous
Skill issue
You should also have CDs up enough as warrior where itās never really a problem to start a new pull with nothing. Youāll probably at least have avatar
Yeah that double TB on pull is aggro city
you should just do your aoe rotation
if you start losing aggro on a specific mob in a pull taunt it it will give you 300% threat bonus

I mean its a general advice
if your aoe rotation is the same with your st rotation it still counts as an aoe rotation
I was saying that ironically since not a whole lot changes
Well the other guys were saying it doesnt really matter, I wanted to be able to track it easier because sometimes I dont notice when it falls off. Hence why we're talking about it in the first place, because I would like to have it up whenever possible.
you know we're just joshing ya
actually in large pulls you san say there are differences especially early
some revenge spam if you've got pumpers might be nice
it being up or not doesnāt change how you press it
But the thing is, IP is your main rage dump ability, so simply by executing your rotation it will always have the highest uptime possible
Then again Iām not the best guy for this anymore cuz now I throw kegs
Instead of clapping
i wanna be a kegboy
I generally try to dump rage in damage if IP is up.
I mean you can
prot didn't change whatsoever this xpac, so you're still gucci griff
But like
are you playing mountain thane
At a certain point youāre sending IP regardless
yes
revenge is bad damage dont use it if you can thunderclap or shield slam
But hereās a cool fact for you, dumping rage into IP is damage
More rage spent=more avatar
Revenge is used only for triggering a SS reset
only use revenge if you can use neither of your other buttons or you have to apply deep wounds
I know SS/Tclap do more damage. I see what you guys are saying.
rage spent = damage boost for ss /tclap
the times I have forgotten Deep wounds application surprises me to this day
70rage and under if you have a free global feel free to send a revenge
Or something
over*?
No if youāre over 70 just send an IP
Or at least I would
More breathing room to not overcap if you get a slam reset
fair enough
But like thatās just my opinion man
Nah, I get it, I've been doing decent damage for tank, holding threat, my biggest issue was making sure I had IP up. I felt like revenge/slam were better rage spent for fights if its up, and didnt consider rage overflow on SS/Tclap for procs.
But this conversation actually helped further my understanding.
Unrelated but, howās vengeance these days?
never use slam
Perfect time to fuck with it as an alt then
Never use slam, even if deep wounds is up, SS and Tclap are on CD, IP is up, and only fighting one boss?
correct
Wait prot has slam?
Revenge procing SS is better. 10-4
under no circumstances do you press slam and whirlwind
Today I learned
yeah baseline warrior ability
Yeah your entire kit revolves around spending as much rage as possible, which means using your builders as much as possible , and when you're generating so much rage, IP is the only way to dump it without capping (overcapping rage leads to horrible things happening)
Yeah I thought it got replaced with something else but I guess not
I never hit whirlwind.
Also helps that my warrior was max before the talent rework so never had to level it with slam
it would make sense for revenge to replace whirlwind
you'd be surprised how many warriors dont

Itās the same ones I watch fall over in a 9 to melee damage
I played wow hard from vanilla to halfway through cata, stopped, started on mists, hated it, didnt really play again till shadowlands at the end.
then didnt really play a lot for a while
then came back for Dragon flight for a bit
then stopped
then came for S4, and played a little harder, then full force back in on TWW
So generally, theres a fair bit of residual game knowledge.
I mean I used to tank on dial up back in TBC/WotLK
Iāve played every version of classic thatās rereleased, theyāve all been subpar compared to retail overall tbh
They're definitely more simple mechanics in fights
but I enjoyed the leveling in older expansions/original than current.
but I like the end game here a lot.
lmao, Well, im trying to get my wife into it. And OG was definitely more about the journey. Where retail now is about the destination.
But yeah 100%, I'll cap out in 2 days IRL with work lmao
I think a majority of the classic player base was about the destination as opposed to the journey tbh, it turned out to be more toxic and elitist than retail
which is crazy bc retail is infinitely harder to be good at
Heck all the gold buying and GDKP I think supports that
i never got into classic bc i dont like leveling
Had a raid leader who was playing demo in WOTLK who would get pissed at me anytime I swapped to destro (while I was topping the meters and he was like dead last in dam)

Like man let me have some fun, aff is cringe sometimes
Okay, so, Thanks to everyone. because if it werent for you guys, i wouldnt have figured out that IP only applies like 30% of its max value every cast.
and now i feel dumb as shit.
Sucks when people actually do read the tooltips
and the tooltips are lacking so much information
Yeah no kidding, when Im not just fucking around on an alt i just leveled for a prof or whatever, I actually read the tooltips
and IP doesnt say anything about the actual amount it gives per cast
what was the rule behind HR vs ItF? i get 99% SB uptime with HR and 88% with ITF, do i stick with HR?
yes
100% effective blocked hits is the goal
Question for Heroic Queen. Taunt right after Liquify and straight into an extra defensive on top of Shield Block right? and then basically leap away right after the swap to get the boss to move enough right?
is using battle scarred vet a bad idea?
if u feel like u need it, use it
but if you dont proc it, then its not needed
done keys with tanks running it in like 7s and they are proccing it once
so its pointless
and if you proc it, i feel like im fucked anyways
nither of those should be an issue
a healer shouldnt relaly focus u outside of certain packs or mechanics
oh ok ty
do you guys ever feel like you have 0 haste?
just did stonevault and it felt like i had very low haste when im comfortably at 50%+
do our protection and battle stance have some kind of charge? casue I dont see any rason why kira has this WA
oh it shows ignore pain nvm
only when you missplay
cuz then you sit afk with your dick in your hand
waiting for better weather
for prot is wild strikes or endurance training better?
Wild strikes. You should read the guide on wowhead or icyveins
is mandate bad in keys
What a way to put it, lmao
pretty bad ye
i hope they make the s2 trinkets less dogshit
then why is it s tier in your gear guide! š¤
For thane m+, frenzied enrage or powergul enrage?
sorry im blind
I'm always parsing super low in healing in my keys, like https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KCa6kdDJmQbvZPqz#fight=3&type=damage-done not sure why. I mean, I don't die, keys are timed, healer doesn't seem to overheal me (I think). Am I missing something ? Am I doing too small pulls maybe ?
Key parses donāt matter
That being said most of your healing is rotational
Only thing to optimize is keeping iv on cd
ive never once looked at healing for key logs ever
if youre timing the keys and youre not dying thats good enough in my eyes
it looks like you are getting healed more than i usually do
oh wait that was a 7 i looked at
nvm it looks about right
idk
Alright, that 14 parse is strange but I guess as long as I'm alive, it's fine š¤·āāļø
(on the down low, is sacbrood in the same boat idk all trinkets kinda feel shitty in m+)
i've literally been trying every combo
so far swarmgland and swarmlord feels aight
sacbrood is bis everywhere
Mandate is Stier because itās by far the best ST trink in the game.
fuck
si
Description on the Wowhead says it
tome of light would be S+ tier above mandate
finally got my mark yesterday
btw fuck whoever made mark a dps trinket while skam shark is all
Question nom
At base level level Mark is slightly better then skarmorak shard. But if youāre consistently killing mobs and chain pulling does skarmorak beat it?
Or do sims account for the 2nd bonus for killing mobs?
so shard isn't a bad on use for keys?
never was
they both a tier slots
shard is turbo fine
i use shard + transmitter in keys
cuz double on use owns
have a CD trinket for every pack
what tanks are looking really good for 11.05
ppally
pwar gets a small dmg nerf in the form of roar target capping
aside from that pwar doesnt get any changes
dunno about the rest
i use swarmgland swarmlord when im progging keys with friends
im open to suggestions for more tankiness
we doin 11-12s rn
wrong again, prophetic stonescales still bis!!
epic memerino
so laugh i forgot to funny
i actually wonder if there is a single edgecase yet where a 10% health revive cheatdeath could be used
no because the cheat death doesnt work if it gets overkilled by 300%
si
fascinating
there was a log recently where someone was 1shot THROUGH BSV
because it was just that much dmg
a 16million hit, twice, because shieldblock was down
itf enjoyer?
si
figures
That's brilliant haha
But it's a cheat death smh
It's close to at least, a 16mil hit is not super common let's be fair
what gets rid of curses
if i recall it correctly they are the hardest type of removable debuffs to remove
mage wasnt decursing sad
Mage, druid, shaman and evoker every 1min
Hero track haste crit gloves?
I'm trying to figure out which rings to choose. Is there like a ballpark haste amount we are looking for by chance. I got a heavy crit/low haste with leech on it and have a haste/crit equal. I'm using the leech, but not sure if I want to push towards a higher haste value. kindof a newbie prot warrior. I gotg 13.6k haste currently
About decurse, the Third boss in GB needs a decurse
something like that
probably just champion for now but hero if i get it in vault sure why not
As much as possible
Ok, maybe i will forgo the leech ring. Not sure how much i get out of that 1% leech, obviously doesn't hurt but probably pretty miniscule in the grant scheme
Leech is always a nice stat on a tank imo
Just sim the rings
If the non leech one is WAY ahead then swap, otherwise don't
Leech and other tertiaries should not be factored into gearing decisions
Unless you're comparing two identical items.
Identical is a bit of a stretch
I mean, if one item sims better, you should use it
If two items sim within like <.1% of each other
Leech is irrelevant
Depends what content you're doing
Okay but that's like margin of error level sims and the sim would even say it was a sidegrade.
š it's easier to say identical than write a paragraph every time
Perfectly possible for the up to so small that you'd rather the tertiary stat
And again, depends on content as to how irrelevant or relevant it is
The players goals etc
Mehh idk what I am getting in with trying out for that 0.1% achi
Feels like I am gonna have to track it and stay in the range for months
And srsly coordinate
Some dungs defo need voice for interrupts
Mists first boss probably one shots with casts
At higher keys
I could just grind League again
Got a premad healer and dps but 2 will probably always be randoms
Doesn't hurt to try?
Yep
Getting m+ title is either "spam like 100 keys in 2-3 weeks at the end of a season with a really good team" or play all fucking season long
Obv the real worry is you're not too shit and ya, end up having to play a ton to stay up lol
or you buy an account that got title for a bajillion dollars or whatever like a coward and a criminal
Or, just join friends for 8 keys who are doing title level keys at the end of a season

"friends"
what are friends
How much do these friends charge?
If you know alot of people it's easy to "quickly" jump a few hundred score
Kinda sussy when you check the rio the following season tho surely? Like when you're doing a heroic and see home boy has a single Curve kill where he parsed a 1
šµļø
There is probably a community/discord for it honestly I'll just check later on
Nobody gives a fuck rly
If you're boosted you're boosted, and you only "look cool" to people who have no clue
Aye exactly
And if you join friends to skip ahead a few keylevels and stay on those levels
A good portion of the title people in your region will know the other title people; you start running out of people that high up as you get up there
Nobody gives a fuck either
Knowing people on this game definitely helps, in all aspects
I remember S1 of SL RBGs were super useful
God bless knowing people instead of having to pay to get carried
Idk, there's plenty of people I wish I didn't know
And even more I'm glad I will never know
But those lucky few, make it worth it
Can confirm, my unwillingness to know people kneecaps my progress a lot of the time
Haha
Had a blast in RBGs like a decade ago with this DK leader that was a screamer in teamspeak
He made everyone have target focus target macro, he'd grip a poor soul in and they'd instantly die
I mean same here, it just kinda happened idk
A good target caller goes a long way for sure
Anywho time for bedge
Enjoy bed, Nome

I know ppl but most of my friends aren't farmers
RBGs are fun, sharing hats of target calling and shot calling ime is very much not
Massive headaches after pushes

It's probably the better decision
What's even that
i like tradtional horror games
alone in the dark type stuff, or silent hill a little bit but its not my top pick
doom 3
How much value do we get on weapons, thinking about recrafting my mainhand but not sure if i should spend 90 crests there or on regular gear
Dead by daylight sucks
You canāt do anything
Friday the 13th game was 10x better, just didnāt grow enough.
Do you lose the dr from spell reflect after it reflects?
Not anymore
You used to in the past, but now the DR always stays
Was wondering since the lingering buff after reflect says nothing about dr just spell reflected
And notices that it sometimes gets used even though no casts went out
Ah I thought some MMO
Ok imo: craft a 2H or fully upgrade a 2H hero
And then upgrade your shield and one-h with only valorstones
I mean can just craft a shield and call it a day
2 hander? I only play prot
But I think this would put ya ahead
Having a fully upgraded 2hander (because of arms) allows u to upgrade all weapons without crests
I abused tf out of this early on
Yea I already crafted my shield, I crafted sword and shield originally and upgraded my shield to mythic. I can do that with my weapon as well, and probably should eventually, just don't know how much I really gain by wasting 90 crests
Or u can just craft a 639 and call it a day
weapon upgrade is generally your biggest dps increase. just use the crests on it.
I am personally using my crests for 639 upgrades rn
it's not a waste. you're getting value.
75 vs 90 is nice
Alright u convinced me i will
I am curious why, does devastator scale on weapon dmg as well?
Cuz my melees aren't a large%
everything scales on weapon dps (except maybe shield slam iirc)
Interesting, I'll Google scaling breakdown, thx
Only the first one
anyone know if u can have the spel name instead of player name on omnicd bars/icons?
i cant seem to find any setting anywhere in the addon
did they nerf spell reflect?
like https://i.imgur.com/LjDl5Lv.png this is a cot reflecting 7/7 of splices
on a +10 and the dmg taken from party is https://imgur.com/ZNvz6m8
@shut summit i started noticing from lik 5pm onwards before i was seeing normal numbers on details aswell
i would be extremely surprised if they randomly changed reflect on one boss on sunday night, log a run and see
i should have logs sec
does anyone have a WA that gives a sound que whenever a major attack that can be spell refected is about to go out.
exp: Shadowflame Slash
if you do please DM or @ me
on logs the spell reflect is there but apparently details is getting only the first hit of the reflect not the entire dot
are you guys running haste/vers in high keys
timed my first +10, appreciate all the general advice you guys give
grats
hey guys, quick question
so i play VDH and im rerolling to prot warr, cosndering i only have exp playing 3 chars, warr is very new to me, what i need help with basically if people play vdh and warr tank aswell, can you help with like,,,,, equailivent of demon spikes is this and that
like rotation wise defensives wise
read wowhead or icyveins
keep up shield block all the time, use all your offensive CDs on CD, fill every other gcd with shield slam > tc > revenge, press IP to keep your rage under ~70
youre the best, this is what i wanted
thereās more nuance but thatās the tldr
just having them on the same keys will be helpful for your muscle memory
yeah im trying to have them as the same keys as VDH defensives
ye im tryna get to the ekybinding part yet
im not familiar with VDH but i have a lot of CD trackers that just pool defensives into the same positions so its helpful for understanding
active mitigation is pretty much the same between tanks though
shield block, demon spikes, bone shield, shuffle, shield of the righetous, ironfur
all kind of do the same thing
just want to maintain as near 100% uptime as you can
is there an addon that like, binds your spells automatically
no
just expect to rebind your keys after you understand how you need to use them
wat
is that a Shift+Spacebar bind
ye
i ran a norm dungeon with prot warr, i had no idea waht spells i was using other than just spamming buttons although i read some guides here and there
As a fellow shift-spacebar enjoyer
How can I figure out how much rage I spent in a fight? Does details make this available anywhere? Or maybe I can see it on warcraftlogs if I log and upload?
nice
yeah go to warcraftlogs and check rescources tab within a log then select rage
is Cursed haste or radiant haste the better choice for ring enchants?
just imagine u have feed the demon or whatever its called
where u have 100% uptime on spikes
ss = fracture. revenge = cleave. immo = tclap. shield block = spikes. avatar/shield wall = meta. demo = fiery brand. throw hammer = glaive. shockwave = chaos nova. storm bolt = prison. rally = darkness. ravagar = decree (sigil of spite in tww).
sorry what is ss
shjield slam
heyo, I'm first time playing prot and I'm seeing a lot of ppl changing beetwen thunderous roar and champion's spear in diff keys
what's the difference between those? I thought they were mostly personal prefence
Thunderous Roar is a bit better for AoE and Spear is a bit better in single target. That said the difference is small enough that you can use whichever you want.
Also Spear has added utility as a ranged snare.
You switching from DH to prot warrior?
yes
Got a hardcore meta humper here boys watch out
From DH tank dfs3 to prot warrior now
Let me guess you're a Kansas City Chiefs fan too
Shield Slam
almost impossible to get invited to a single key at 12 unless its your own as vdh
Is cheat death best spec m+? I see a lot of people running it but wowhead doesn't have it on any of the builds
never
i dont think anyone runs it
I talk too much and you must have no friends if you rely on apping to keys and don't run your own push group
least used talent as vdh i believe
saw +15 mists prot war used it
this is warrior discord o.o
it aint even just that
vdh is extremely punishing if you do one mistake
warr is more forgiving
one mistake as dh and key = gg
one cd overlap = gg
chances of VDH being one shotted is extermely higher than warr being one shotted
You probably weren't spewing all this nonsense dragon flight season 3
i wasnt playing dragonflight season 3
idk why youre so toxic bro i just asked one question
S4
ticon
stop begging my attention
You the toxic one bro
is radiant power best wep enchant for m+?
I've been on vacation for 5 days
Partying and doing fun stuff in the real world
take a vacation from picking fights on video game discord
depends on what u mean by best
@buoyant niche ticon is a freak ignore him
Hey team, question. Do teams skip Nar'zudah in NW? Or eat a Gatekeeper 10+ keys
Lmao says the dude who hasn't been to the gym once in his life
literally went today
Nice let's see what you look like
still pretty fat rn
my self worth doesnt rely on me being super fit though
im sorry yours does i hope you realize humans have worth regardless of if theyre ultra fit or not
are u running 15s
if not u probably dont need cheat
if you think ppl are worth less than other people if theyre not shredded youre a TERRIBLE person
straight up
whatever wow ego you have aside
youre just actually a bad human being
figure it out
have u guys not learned to ignore ticon yet
put him on ur block and move on
dude is unhinged

bro how can these dps be 2.5k rating but don't know what to interrupt
2.5k is not very high
Damn you been in my keys too? Same idiot dps
Watcha guys think: 626 mad queen, 626 Skyterror, 606 Sacbrood & 619 Swarmlord. Which combo for dmg?
Damn if only there was something that could answer that for you.
mad queen doesn't sim the greatest in m+, but fuck does it feel good melting whatever you're targeting
Queen and sky terror
You talking m+ or raid?
raid. Sims do say that but i just wanted actual opinion as a why not
I assume the sheer ilvl of those would out weigh others anyway
Sacbrood would be good if at same ilvl, but not that gap.
Pure dps both those outweigh sac, but you donāt need to do anything with sac and also you have the icd of 2 on use trinkets if you go that way.
But yeah, unless you can get a hero or myth Sac just use both those for all situations.
Itās not too big a deal
Sacbrood is just the only decent passive trinket
Everything else you have to click so can stuff up
in grim batol, can you survive 4 flamerenders by 2nd boss, i know you can reflect one but it seems like 4 may be a little too much
just pulling a 3 pack is incredibly lame though
dungeon sucks
Man what's with this rsham obsession
Legit see no diff between any healer spec personally
But best healer I had was a Disci
then all your rsham's suck
Yo guys, is concentration char based or profesion based ? Totaly not a war question i know..
"Every profession comes with 1000 Concentration that is unique to that specific character and their profession" from september is the latest news I can find on it
For the non seasonal dungeons, can you go into them on mythic or nah?
no
anyone know what haste value we should have before we swap over to 'Into the Frey"
instead of Heavy Repercussions
DB?
Dawnbreaker i assume.
That dungeon has a lot of downtime,so SB charges can recharge
š
Can the haste debuff applied by Tooth Breaker https://www.wowhead.com/spell=256616/tooth-breaker?dd=23&ddsize=5 be removed by Dwarf Stoneform?
Cracks the target in the teeth, inflicting 2702931 Physical damage on impact and slowing haste by 15% for 10 sec. In the NPC Abilities category.
Yo dudes, decided to give tanking and prot a try since being a dps this season is aids. Does anyone know if there is any video/content out where someone is tanking and commentating at the same time what they are doing and why, like using defensives and what not. Ive watched a few video guides and read iv/wowhead but itās just information overload trying to get a grasp of everything without seeing it used in action and explained
Im mainly looking at doing m+
Not sure if there's anyone doing that for prot specifically.
I can offer you live feedback of your gameplay if you want to stream a dungeon via Discord at some suitable time tho.
I see, thanks. ill keep that in mind, I just got lvl 80 yesterday, gonna gear up a bit and start doing lower keys later in the week whenever I have time. Being an adult with responsibilities sucks 
Watch Kira's runs on Youtube. He narrates quite a bit in voice comms with his team for coordination purposes. https://www.youtube.com/@kiratank_tv
There is this service from Mwahi? Poggies.
Always has been.
Tattman on YouTube. Iāve been watching his prot war runs and theyāve been pretty helpful. He does commentary for them also. Hope this helps
hey guys, im hero track 4/6, and im trying to get aotc off queen
so i dont need crests, and i play m+ so i dont think i want mad queen's mandate
and i have swarmlord's
any other items i should keep an eye out for?
Thank you all, ive got some content to go through
Thatās definitely a made up breakpoint
Yea ,made up by people that did the math
Like u are free to run at it every haste % , u just wont have enough uptime , but u do u
wym
hey guys
I'll be screen sharing some mythic keys as a prot warrior and I could definitely use some feedback
I pulled a +8 COT lastnight
@ionic fern you an mvp

based statement tbf
Can anyone give me a brain dump of how to pull multiple packs without losing aggro?
