Rav on danger/money/prio pack I assume?
Mainly the sketch pulls are in NW with the fkn harvesters
The first one?
Best advise is you write to people "don't attack,doing big pull".
Heroic throw the left pack,heroix throw right back,charge into mid pack,heroix throw middle pack in the back,move into harvester.
I do miss AoE heroic throw.
as dps main, i can confirm this doesn't work
covering ur ass isn't how u keep dps from zugzuging, you have to put the fear of god in them
if you don't give me time for aggro you'll die, maybe even in irl life
Yeah this is gonna be a great help for me, it’s exactly what im looking for. Thanks for the tip!
Jai!
Thunderous Roar better than Champion Spear in Grim Batol right?
TR also generate alot of threat also deal more DMG.
It's certainly better than CS.
1 point in Uproar it's 45s
CS is still 1:30 it deal more DMG more threat less rage generate less mob control.
Hitting all targets with Roar is also easier than Spear, so you might want to consider that if mobs are not packed
Ya CS only shine in Mob control n rage generate.
Roar gave more threat n less cool down.
Ty for advice.
mwahi live coaching 
Wish i could coach myself.
heya does IP anything about the absorb on feast ?
or rather can i help with something else then victory
Which feast?
But roar also needs at least 1 more point
And that's only if you only take the reduced cd
Otherwise it's 2 and one of the endgame points
doesn't last stand technically heal us? Not sure if that would be wise there but maybe
IP is not a heal, but indom is. IV and LS also heals
Press shield wall
After that pray to healer to heal you.
I think if you take TR you want to take Bloodborn (2 point) so you cant grab Enduring Alacrity & Armored to the Teeth 2/2
The rare items. 1 from sikran (neck), 1 from rash (cloak) and 1 from ansurek (ring)
It absorbs damage while shes meleing you
ye but basicly i need to trust my healers to get the absorb of me
and i brealy can do anything right
kk
She does no damage anyway
yeah, just keep shield block up and let your healer do his job
🙌🙌
Would anyone be able to give me some advice on what hurts in necrotic wake and why?
People don’t play mechanics
where
and hurts who tank or your team
things that might kill you are mobs called bonecarver b4 second boss
they reduce your max hp with every cast and it stacks
fuck nw btw not stepping foot in it
It was one of the best…. But now…
reanimated mage or whatever frostbolt volley is scary big dam
marauder cleave can be scary for dps players
marauders also have a fear cast that needs kicked
harvester/collector drain fluids or whatever needs kicked
also goresplatter from harvester/collector
gatekeeper wrath huge group aoe damage healer mechanic innit
bonecarvers as txr mentioned
and lastly you should intervene the target of the frontal on 1st boss (don't leave intervene range) (you can also spell reflect it (?))
everything else we kinda just live
how do you guys analyse logs, if even? Or are we green if we simply survive?
you should keep an eye on necromancer reanimate dead cast to atop it asap (stun or fear it)
Yes intervene + reflect, cause sometimes you can’t get out so fast
Wasted rage, sb uptime etc
generally look at blocked hits%, wasted rage and CPM
if there's anything specific you struggle with just lmk
so nobody compares for dmg done logs?
Not a struggle really, just wondering tbh. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/antonidas/mackzim i mean be my guest if something stands out.
check for wasted rage, amount of casts (wasted cd casts), missed reflects, wrong rotational priority and stuff
interrupts and all that
ah logs in raid are done to flex
thats what it feels like :kekw
(actually to check who's failing mechanics 5 times in a row but stays silent)
i get it for dps players tho
in the end u wont get that sweet 100 without pi and sugarcoating evoker, but still.
im memeing tho logs are helpful to check gameplay and mechanic failures
I did 1 round of raid tanking got 99
do people log their m+ nowadays? I check my uptimes with details
gotta fix purple stuff next week and be gucci
I have a general rule for myself that if I'm under purple log I'm misplaying heavily
details don't show you if you get hit in the back or things like that
wtf is actually do, how? i never logged, so someone in my group?
on anything other that a healer
ppl log in pugs
look at damage, not points, and you'll see the logged runs
I'm glad I decided to log mine tbh, helped me spot some bad stuff early on before the habits set in (tho I'm sure there's still more)
pad on adds, pray your side gets more add phases
i dont like that drop
tanked these are like 613 in an alt run
gotta fix that
well im not a main tank too
should get logs now
im a bad fury war
im 11ilvls higher

raid leading is annoying as dps
hc are better tbf
but i never said i was a good dps
so

hey all, i just got to 35% haste without buffs, am i good to swap to into the fray? or should i stick with heavy reprecussions?
whatever you are comfortable with
well here is the thing, i dont know much about prot warr as this is my first time playing it
then stay HR until more comfrotable
people have said before to get 35-40% haste and then use it
its not a one fix
u still need to pay attention to SB with ITF even at those haste levels
with 35% and into the frey i dont think i get perma uptime on shield block
with HR u can just forget about needing to think about it
You need to grief
at this point I dare not even do Mythic as a tank, cause I've only done it as Arms as well
, think I'd end up griefing haha
I played colossus
mythic as a tank is jokes easy u can just pump damage
You need to grief + short kill timer ofc
yea im not sure if you need def stance for mythic until later bosses
i tried tanking without block up and it was still fine
but its more damage
Mmm fair, have never tried, only done heroic as tank, tho that was chilling more so than dps'ing tbh
well yer thats where im struggling with stuff actually kills me and im also calling placing markers etc for the raid at the same time as well as trying to do a dps rotation. as tank it wasnt as hard just taunt when u need and afk calling
ill get there
1 day and be a half decent dps
is the 2 best embelishments for warr the duskthread and dawnthread for the vers and crit above 80%, or should i be looking at some other ones?
got one of each atm, but not sure if thats good.
thats not as good as double of one of them
so u just pick your favourite
and double it up
because it doesnt go on wep
got one on my shield, and one on my wrists
yah was gunna get a good log on queen this week but my healers didnt heal me once in inter so died to wrest didnt even get eaten
lets forgor i could have pressed something to live

tbf im not that bad i know around the health imma die at 20% of the time its like a 100k over kill or somthing
just tank brain going do i need to press something, but need the habit of a dps to press it anyways
Smh
you need to teach me the way on queen, i can't find dps (i never played fury) and things dies so quickly
press buttons on adds
and my brain was rottin because we tried for 30 min to "boost" 5 guild members to see if we can boost
they die in 1 sec bladestorm deals 1 tick
Idk I just send stuff on cd, then alternate stuff for webs, then send on 2nd platform and send again on 1st adds in p3
If you want good parse you need to pad on the bridge adds
queen logs are cursed
Yeah
we have 4 rets in raid and a small raid
theyre so happy discussing who freedoms who
okok, ye on p2 i was going straight to the shielded add since we were training to boost, i should pad on these little cute spiders
The roar nerfs are in. 5
is it worth going over the 30% haste from secondaries threshold as prot?
I'm in a key GB +8 rn
i did some keys with roar, i don't know what to think about it
Yes
Guys, yesterday we killed Mythic Rasha'nan, as a prot warrior progressing to Ovi'nax, seeing 5 logs and having my Raid leader asking how's my BDK gear at... Any tips for this boss as a Prot warrior? Seems tough but I think is manageable...
I think hero talents are no doubt, mountain thane... But anything else?
F
maybe you will 3 tanks it just because you don't have 2 mass grab
get real good at communicating with your other tank, work on positioning to contribute stuns/interrupts on worms/parasites
hitting a shockwave on a group of parasites when they spawn really helps the DPS out
Yeah... Mythic+ build pretty much...
it's also the only way to interrupt their infest cast
but i've found with my group they tend to drop them pretty fast if they can keep them grouped
on the 5 logs only 1 they 2 tank the boss with a prot, maybe just focus on that one to see what they do
Will try today with some utility build, giving up some damage
what do you mean by that btw
how do you get out
also my healers tell me they like when the tanks call their taunts out loud and don't just rely on WAs because they like to know when to heal
might just be my group though idk
you don't need wa to know when to heal, you have the debuff = heal tank or wipe
and why need a wa for taunts
like I said, could just be my group, but they say it helps when the tanks call it
you need specific healing care just to tank melees ?
please don't ask me to understand how healers work. I play a 0 int class because I am a 0 int person
I hit things with a shield until they die
sometimes there's lightning
What type of cursed healers do you run with..
Its just they every frame default and addons has stuff to track a person who holds aggro and debuffs to heal
I didn't ask so I can't explain
I dont get why would you need to call things out
we did it when I was learning the fight and it just kind of became a habit
Can the targeted frontal from NW 1st boss be reflected?
we actually had a healer who said he wont dispel debuffs at queen intermission because he cant be bothered to check it
and I still dont get it cuz you know
its a debuff on raidframes
you can block it
with spell block*
yes with spell block
Great
never hurts to also send reflect
Sometimes I intervene folks who aren’t close and get clipped
free dr
I normally have little space between boss and last greenshit, so i intervene instantly the target from spit and move through boss again. But if they stand wide sr will do the job
and when you dont have Spell block, just SR you will never die from that
you can send whatever you want that boss doesnt do damage to us
1 tank ability and its a blockable melee attack
actually it doesnt do damage at all with pwar in a group...
and a dps/healer targeting ability will not kill a tank
On the subject of intervene, does intervene not do a charge if the target is close to you? I have been super confused by certain intervenes I’ve done before
Seen the spell go on CD but no charge towards the target
you can always intervene, it's not like charge
im... a bit lost, apparently Sikran Endless Arsenal is a bis raid trinket according to wowhead but.... i have shadow-binding ritual knife and concotion of death and they sim higher.
feels apt
basically my destruction warlock, i literally press my buttons and i top dps, wdym you cant do it???
do we even press whirlwind?
no
"i can't dps because of my stats"
no really, thunder clap is our whirlwind
kk just for actionbar optimizatioons , thx
would you guys be mad if colossus replaces thunderclap by whirlwind ?
question: whats more important shield or weapon? because of craft 636, could craft only 1 item 636 right now
i would say shield, considering how much of a deal block is for us
pörobably shile def whise
but sword would be close second
dead tank cant deal dmg so its shield ig 
^ this, dead tank does 0 dps
you can sim crafts on raidbots
how? you add it like a "custom item" i guess?
oh nvm, i guess is in the droptimizer
top gear
droptimizer has an option for crafts
but how you add the embellishment in that case?
like any items in top gear
I think I will recraft put an embellish on my weapon, it will be a long time before I do something else
Did the same, crafted belt yesterday and removed it from wpn
dahell is this saved unsaved vip spam in services what does that mean
quit /5 channel
Unsaved means the raiders in the boost are also eligible to loot, meaning the boost itself will drop items like normal
its specifically for advertisement of carries
Saved means the boosters have already killed the bosses this week meaning the only loot that can drop is from the boostees aka alot less likely to have multiple items drop
Vip means the buyer gets priority to loot
vip also used to refer to when there is only one buyer for each tier and/or armor type
Ye
ty, im not into this types of things but i guess ppl pay for 8/8 hc and just happy to loot roll i guess
7 tier 8 delves today, 3 of which wont be bountiful
ppl pay for alot of stuff in this game
Delve boosts, raid boost, m+ boost, Tmog run boosts, lich king lockout, etc
I thought that type of things where banble offenses
No wonder the spam lol
you can buy whatever the fuck you want with in game gold
well some of those ads are for real money
Thanks for the clarification lol
but they usually stand out
One of the add-ons actually ignores them in the group finder.
@strong forum u killed queen yet
Is pull 12 safe to do in pugs in +11 keys? I feel like they would fck my 621 tank up 
That's a lot of kicks, not to mention the shadow flame slashes.
It would most likely fold your tank unless it's a lust pull, and prio dam is dropped on the stacking buff guy.
definitely not in pug
Do 10 and half of 11 together do 14 and 15 together scrap 12
you can reset the stacks rather easily though right?
any soothe or long-ish single target stun should do the trick
Soothe, stun and walk away.
There's like 10 guilds who killed queen
Breh
Lots of tricks, but it's more the casters that need kicks and the shadow flame slash that's gonna kill. Killing the big guy let's your tank stay in the fight without kiting.
Grats on top 10
What is the best status combination to freeze ovinax trinket?
Just go 15-15

You'll be let down, first 4 bosses are easier than queen HC
That brings my hope
My team likes to die to silly
Real
if they have the power of 2 human arms, you'll be fine
altho saying that, people apparently struggle with heroic so idk
maybe it's hopeless
that is wild
I'm sort of jealous tbh, like i'd quit the game if that was where I was at
I'd find zero joy in playing
they having more fun than most of us
Anyone can direct me to some fuide on how to male colossus perform in raid?
if you wanna grab a bear and chill with your mates in normal, hats off to you
that's the real way to play wow imo anyways
ya, in that sense i sort of wish keys were more like collective deaths based rather than timer
and then if the team collectively dies 25 times
fuck you, you guys suck, ejected no loot, depleted key
I no meme miss the Legion way of depleting cause it was too funny
just womp womp
your key is basically bricked that week
unlucky
depleting is a very very strong positive mechanic
makes people give a shit to try
without it i think key players would be way lazier
to me its the timer that sucks
Ya the -15s rn is brutal for sure
what if im doing threads and then i have to take GIGANTIC SHIT, RIGHT NOW
it cannot wait
or something similiar
Fill pants

thats what i mean, there has to be a pause game or rewind feature at this point or no timer
Hey all I am new to prot war, do we have a list of items that we should be crafting at first?
i dont mind having to try but timer is absolutely fucking maddening
I mean if that happens, you say sorry boys, I'm about to shit my pants and then alt f4
if you're not willing to shit your pants
you don't want it badly enough
fucking casuals
i think you should be able to pause 3 times for up to 3 minutes each time
minimum 30 seconds pause
yogi, you ever played dota 2?
dunno bout league, but the pause mech in dota 2 is so fuckking annoying and stupid
because you pause, and people are always going to spam unpause
its bad in those games cuz its 2 teams that are pvp
i dont think it would be an issue in keys
I mean true, but you'll have people who want to unpause so the timer runs and people give up so they can just go next
gives me 30 seconds to type out some shit about the boss
especially if the run is questionable
nice bait
and when i read it doesnt read like .... "OK GUYS u have to moje e bss wayw fom cirlc or he hels 231323131414q3eqqe3reed qa"
cuz im RACING to type it
i dont WANT to have to type that shit out, but often i do and i have to make multiple route notes
early league, before season 6 ish, was really really really good game
2-5 fucking goated as hell
thresh and lucian, that was the coolest thing ever
i'm a sucker for edgy shit

like, obviously, you dont need pause in raid
cuz 100% of time you arent fighting the boss in combat, is this
jokes aside, wouldnt allow pauses mid combat
or it would have to be all 5 players agree to pause
question on siege last boss, who should do the turrets? I guess anyone can, but I feel like the tank needs to be on the tentacle to make sure it doesn't do its aoe slam, not sure when that starts going off kindof strange
Yea people just start charging and out range the healer at the part in pugs get really messy
Tank can do it if you're fast to get to the platform
just someone that will get in, fire, leave cannon really
its more about the speed of doing those 3 acts in succesion, but if everyones fast, just the lowest dps
Yeah
cuz the high dps kills the alive tentacl
Yea i can do it as tank and have but no 1 got in it last time and i was out of position and went for it, and then by the time i got to the tentacle it was aoeing
is there a downside to having one dps sit on gripping btw?
I guess the aoe slam would just keep going off
and that dot is brutal on higher keys
or keep going off for logner
longer
slam hurts and its difficult to solo tank stop all the slams
can be done with stuns fears
but its not good for mental health
was the way in bfa
you can stop the slams?
stuns, yes
reallly?
it stops it for the duration of the stun
they recast but it means less of them get off in total
Hmmm i never knew u could do that, I guess you could maybe shave off 1 slam since the DR would hit pretty quick
3 times per target, due to CC diminishing return
full value, half value, 1/4 value, nothing
so, whatever stun has the longest duration, send that first, then low tier ones
i never knew u could stun it, i guess that could come in handy if someone is about to die for sure
i just stop the first 3
You could stop it in bfa, can no longer right now
Unless they re-introduced it again
why were we not making the tinker bracers btw?
i have no idea tbh, too lazy to open wow for mdt
I haven't played since they've been a thing, so no clue what the benefit even used to be
brez
In DF it's just an item again everyone can use
Cuz it was dumb as fuck to lock CR behind a crafted item
Well, my thinking is, it's the same amount of 2nd stat no? (or roughly) and can stack all of 1, so like all haste or crit and then get the bonus of whatever the tinker sockets give
or if we want +1.5 X of (stat but lets be real haste or crit)
cuz only budgeted for 1 secondary
Sure but we kinda want all stats
but amped to make up for it
ya fair, are the tinker sockets just that irrelevant then?
Yeah
maybe as a distant 5th crat
Which shares cd with healthpot
shares CD with?
i would do bracers
is it better to craft a 636 or use crests to upgrade a mythic item
but im still struggling wtf to do with 4th
Upgrading a myth track to 639 is cheaper on gilded.
Depends on your gear pepega, but I will likely not craft 636s
But some slots don’t have easy alternates at myth track
I'll stick with my 619 bracers and 636 weapon
im gunna get 612 615 gear i already creeping up upgrading with runeds and VS
Rather use the crests on myth track gear
so, wtf lol
Depends on the content you’re doing and your comfort level in that content
Yeah
Spending 90 crests on a 636 when I can spend 75 to get a 639 is a clear answer in my case
On some slots even less than 75
But you gotta spend 1 full weeks worth of gilded crests to draft a 636
even embelish?
i think you only craft 636 as a source of "myth" items right?
i spent entire wow token on a cross class dk appearance helmet recently
it was, i had to have it helmet
if you dont mythic raid, it is the only source besides the vault
wasnt an option to let it pass
In my case, I crafted 636 weapon with 619 bracers for the nerubian embellish combo
75 to go to 639 ilvl seems better than 90 to go to 636
Rest will be spent upgrading my myth track gear
If you dont mythic raid, yeah then probably crafting to fill out slots is a play
it went with vers shield 
i dont myth raid. fck that
which is most players tbf
gon fill the other one ig
First 4 bosses offer incredibly potent loot
tbh out of the first 4, the first boss might even be the hardest lol
2 insane necks, 1 good ring, bis cloak, and ofc tier tokens
shield and 1h too
A shield a 1h weapon, a 2h weapon, good boots
yuge value for sure
Literally full set of gear from first 4
stonks
Time to learn to raid tank IG
for pugging keys, you almost have to go versa, because in the tool tip for versa without any addons, it says that it "reduces the damage you take"
simple minded puggers for keys read this and then see a tank, who is supposed to protect them, and then ?????? and then "tank you need more versa"
so if you equip the versa gear, then it puts thier minds at ease for some weird nature geographical video reason.
You’ve inspired me to git gud
The bosses are beyond simple to tank
"40% versa or you cant join bro, top tank used it, u have to too"
It's literally swap on 1
this makes me sad that I'm currently forced to dps with my semi-pug group 🥲
Only done raid once and the offtank managed to make it look like rocket science
I'm forced to heal on my shaman and dps on my dragon
When it's the other way around that I want to do it
Xd
lol ffs
A classic
between angry whispers to taunt and etc, healer whispers and not being able to communicate with them period language issues
ya, raid just not for me for tanking it
hellll no
the down side is just too big
ehhhh
i never rly get any of that
maybe a whisper from other tank asking who taunts first

im not sure if lfr or tuesday/monday normal raiders are worse
if you go at 8 pm monday night u see some real winners
around 1 am players get better again, but its usually still degen
ya na, na raiders are nuts
just yesterday we spent 10 mins trying to figure out who wants to do webs
cuz ppl either dont speak english or dont ever look at chat
this balance druid was quite the specimen too
straight 4 mins of asking them if they know how to do webs
finally an answer
"?"
it's a real challenge for Americans to stay silent is probably part of it also
in m+ do i rotate defensives like i do on bear or do i only use a defensive for a big hit
lmao
yap mains over the pond
you have shield wall every 40 so try to use that on cd
some of them its more they are just really aggro all of the time
but other than that im fine? save the other ones for tank busters?
yeah also use demo shout on cd since its a dps increase
you can also delay shield wall for a buster in an upcoming pack
Hey guys can anyone explain how the intevene on first boss of NW works
do you have to have the hero talent?
Im at 38% haste and I am getting rage starved. Rotation feels slow at times waiting for abilities to come up. Am I doing something wrong?
U are colossus aren't u
Drop talents frfr
Most of the time you need a shaman to prevent yourself from being rage starved if your Colossus. I've gotten better about it as time has gone on and now its rare for me to get starved.
Sorry for such a broad question, but what would you craft next? https://raider.io/characters/eu/stormscale/Ueno
Americans and Russians are the eternal yappers in pugs
I'm glad I don't even see any Americans
Debating belt or wrists, wrist stats are a bit icky
Nah Russians outright don't speak
Russian DK comes in pops 99% parse says no word
Never leaves through wipes etc
At the end leaves party when jobs done
errmmm no im not. Guess I fucked myself lol
Colossus feels faster too
I play colossus with Barbaric Training at low keys
1M each revenge crits
Feels insanely good
Basically can't click IP tho
That rage starved
Only enough for SB and revenge spam
Fr
classic russian coinflip. either 99% parse or literally smoothbrain
i wish u good loot n stabl connect)
Funniest experience I had was this rated BG, we were getting demolished on Eye of the Storm so hard that we had like 5 players left. I checked the map and somehow we still controlled Blood Elf Tower..
Russian DK tasked with holding that base had like 12 killing blows
In a like 5v10 BG, bro just held his tower
Alone
Not typing a word in chat since being invited
Can you macro sb and ip in one macro where if you just spam that button it should do both sb and ip ?
no
I mean technically yes, but the times you want to press both Block and IP at the same time are very infrequent, so it would just be an extra button somewhere you press very rarely
U intervene the retch target and stand on them in melee range
U take the retch damage and they don’t
Anything special I can do with flamerenders in GB? Dot is nasty...is it pretty much be fast AF with my reflects?
Having enemy spell cds visible helps
Yeah I try to watch them just sucks when the CD is coming up so I pre cast reflect and they don't use it 😭
lmao
I never really played plate and now my warr looks like shit, is there some nice set i can get in an hour or so?
just buy some random pvp set
You can buy firelands set literally for gold
From the old valor vendors
Same with the lfr set from icc if I remember correctly
Ya my warrior is in mostly black hand gear from BRF would recommend
Can also go to old Dalaran and buy some of the PvP sets iirc for gold
or were they raid sets
Something you could buy there
so nw 1st and 3rd boss , intervene usage is good, any other bosses you guys do know for?
Was it so that you can spell block every liquefy cast?
The fixate on 3rd boss?
yesterday I tanked a 7 COT with my 588 warr and it didnt even feel dangerous
yes
is there any other bosses where intervene value is just op like those two?
I can't stand doing lower keys
At higher runs, DPS will yell at you for not pulling multiple packs (for good reason)
At low keys it's the other way around
Last boss mists intervene the fixated person as well, helps to keep the mobs grouped since they can stand still
Does anyone know what the colossus talent no stranger to pain does? It says increase the total amount of damage prevented by 20% but nothing in the tool tip changes.
The tooltip is bad
The tooltip just tells you the cap of ignore pain
Not how much a press of ignore pain gives
Basically it just makes it so, for the sake of argument, instead of 100k from IP per use, you get 120k
That's it
Vene the fixate, shockwave the adds, leap the mind link
Big helps for the bois
amazing, thanks
so any fixate stuff its worth
even when its not adviced, is it possible to do a macro for 2 casts @ cursor for my spear and ravager ?
the 2nd cast in the list is always not working
You can make a cast sequence macro
But 2 gcds on the same generic /cast /cast macro doesn't work
I read somewhere that bracers are a good craft due to the poor loot pool for them but I'm really not sure
They're a low stat budget item so they're favoured slots to craft on
Boots and belt are in a similar category
Cloak this time around not so much because of the cloak from rashanan being extremely attractive
Took 4 myth rashanan kills before I saw any, and I mean any necks in my bags that aren't from delves
Meanwhile my alt war has both rashanan and the very rare neck
My shaman hc very rare neck and dragon myth rashanan (iirc)
There's only two cloaks in the raid 
I really cannot kill Sikran without dying at least once
phase lunger hurt after two exposes
So it affects the absorb shield amount, got it! Thanks!
Consider spamming "taunt" in say chat
Sometimes helps me with pugs
My main problem is that they're doing the mech perfectly
and then they just don't once
But the addon already yells "taunt" and thats literally all you have to do in most fights 
don't tell tanks that, then they start taunting at random, like a tank I had today on Blood boy
and then he yelled at me for not taunting back when he rammed the beam onto our group aggressively
On HC you can eat phase lunge once natty, the 2nd one you need the cds for
I think
I could be confusing it with LFR tho
Cuz I once had to survive 3 stacks
HC will barely kill you, iirc
Don't remember where
What should I do against the small slowing adds in the last room of ara kara?
Normal 100%
silken court you can have lots of stacks
Leap/avatar
I've gotten up to 4 on Normal
Hero I can definitely a double expose phase lunge and live
Although any more after that and I’m donezo
With CDs or no
Since we were talking just taking the phase lunge, no CDs, to the face
@cold wren

get pinged knt 
Hello guys! I geared my pwar a bit more and having a lot of fun again hehe
maybe someone could have a look at this if there is something bad going on
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jY4HWJbfVm3w7pG1#fight=last&type=summary&source=140

Hey all, I have a general stat question. I know the priority for Prot is Haste>Crit=Vers>Mast. I was looking at my stats last night and somehow have 31%Haste, 18% Crit, 22%Mast and a whopping 1% Vers. It seems like most of the mastery is coming from set pieces, but is this okay? Should I be trying to drop some Crit for Vers or will that really not make much difference? I started playing at the very end of DF so this is my first toon gearing and pushing keys/raids etc. https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/laughing-skull/kronotek for reference if that helps.
Nah you're alright. More secondaries is better than specific ones. You can steer more toward haste/crit or haste/vers as you upgrade but it's not anything that'll affect your ability to play the game.
bigger numbers always better
I'd say your defensives used amount is low but considering you didn't take damage who cares
@strong forum i think this is a pinworthy suggestion if i do say so myself
I can take a look when I get back to my desk in a few
does block value matter?
yes....
Does anybody know what is recommended to craft first using your sparks?
There's a reason shield>all
any reason hes running colossus in City instead of Thane? Prio damage?
Yes, it's our most important defensive stat but the only way you obtain it is a higher ilevel shield
do we ever swap from defensive stance while doing high keys?
why dont we play ravager for m+
yes
use def stance as defensive CD, use when needed
we do
so at base even for a +12, you'd run in battle stance until otherwise necessary?
in large pulls d stance
any boss tank buster d stance
its honestly mostly bosses and like
the big dangerous AOE mobs you can safely b in B stance
i mean as a CD makes it sound like only for busters and stuff
the 1.5% damage isnt really worth it on big pulls
ur not using enough CDs then
reached 80 first time this addon and asking myself if i can upgrade the epics without risking of huge wastes , or do i have to wait for some special items ?
for busters and stuff... that needs more defensivness 
wasnt talking to you, dont get so.... wait for it.... defensive 😂
so i should swap to b stance now?
if u dont feel like ur in danger b stance, if u do feel in danger, defense, thats the best way to "dumb it down"
im so proud of that dad pun btw.
im watching joker play it rn
obviously he aint prot warr main or anything
but it seems like unless you really know ur shit
b stance bonus doesnt really do anything in the long run
I stay in defense a lot personally, just for ease of play, i usually only battle in low keys
but thats not the recommended way 😛
dont worry, i have time
if u feel like u never gonna die play ravager for extra DPS. but cheat death talent is also insanely good.
remember if the tank die even once, the key probs bricked
yeah thats gonna get fixed once i do normal keys
whats the cheat death talent called
you choose between battle scarred vet (BSV) or ravager
oh thats really strong
3 min cheat death is pretty good
I take BSV over ravager personally as well
but if u doing a +8 and never gonna die, then might as well take ravager
@lusty grotto
it has saved me lots
ofc if u never make mistakes and ur healer is perfect u dont need it but, its a good insurance
i feel like tank dying is never the issue, but im only doing like 8-10s
tank die = key bricked
it didnt really feel like i need BSV even with 590 in +10s honestly
it's always dps standing in stuff or failing mechanics
590 as in ilvl?
ye
if tank dies its always the healers fault
how tf u getting in at that ilvl
First season on prot (Mr. Meta Slave) and BSV is definitely good as training wheels I think. Let’s you make mistakes without wiping out the party
was my key
i'd say if ur new, just save urself the headache and take BSV and never die
you should decline ppl imo, since there's a 5 app max, let's them list for something else
Didn't think of that, yeah I'll keep it in mind for future additions!!
👋 hello nome
Hello purple boi
also, into the fray or heavy repercussion
i changed colors 
I forgot if it was 30 or 35% haste
Get ready to change colours again, the prot pallying is happening
wait is prot pally the new meta
Technically around 20-25k haste
wont swap, too happy with pwar
If ur take heavy repercussion im pretty sure ur shield block up time is like 150% lmao
ya I agree same here
I take HR
Cuz I cba having to deal with micro managing SB to avoid 1-6s gaps of SB
Just for 6% potential aoe dps
Up to you
is there a cap on SB? Like as in it won't go above X seconds?
3x SB duration
Aka 24seconds with ED talented
18s without ED
Bolster bypasses that rule
got it, thanks
To avoid waste
I would never take into the fray until ur at least 25-30% haste
I ran ITF for the first 2 weeks, but the affixes since then aren't kind in regards to SB uptime and generally only have 15k haste, so I have encountered block downtime
im 28%
So I cba'd and just slammed in HR
wearing fury gear 🧌
tbh only thing that makes me reconsider tanking on prot
is shield block
feels so odd being completely squish if its down even 2s
Heavy Rep - easier, shield block always up, good QoL
Into the Fray - gotta manage ur shield block cd, cant just spam it. But higher damage. But if u run out of shield block and get melee to death im reporting u
@strong forum how does BSV actually work? if i have 1k HP and the hit does 900 dmg in theory do 100 of the 900 damage get reduced by BSV already? and is it actually good now or kinda sus still?
Wotn
Im a lazy pos so i run BSV and heavy repercussion
Literally like wotn
So the part that would be below the 30% threshold that would already be mitigated
The bigger problem is getting bsv
Cuz the only way to get bsv, is by getting squishier

Wait Shaene outside the DH discord?! Wut
So I just, don't take it
yeah i havent reached 30% a single time in a key
changed color hehe, dont tell them
Bro the 0.1% cutoff went up 140 ratings in 3 days
Well yeah
Really hope this shit stabilizes once all is geared up
Do we have any skill to clean affix from us?
Impending victory is my recommendation
cutoff will stabilize in like 2 months
Thank God.
You can also talent into Bitter Immunity
Save Bitter Immunity for when your healer etc. has no CDs tho
And by stabilise he means it'll only grow by like 20-50 per week
Phatt CD on that thang
It won't ever stagnate
And than shoot up 250 on last 3 days
Well yeah
They nerfed the dungeons and affix

Ofc it's gonna rise if keys get easier and classes stronger
Highest keys I've seen in pugs are 13s
Fav and less fav dungeon this season?
Yes and yes
literally what i thought
Always the case right? Season 1 of an expansion is the most difficult. You have less gear and Blizzard intentionally gates harder to keep people from speeding through all the content.
And 2.5k players can't handle the idea of 2-3 packs so I will have to run with my pres
I really dont like NW this season. Im avoiding it like the plaque
Ara kara is chill, mists is chill
NW might be less cancer, city I haven't done in 3 weeks
Stonevault is turbo chill as pwar
NW post nerf pretty chill imo
ive been taking a break, peacing out of the whole streamer brown-nosing and aggregate site garbage
Stonevault is awful in pugs
i need a build for M+ 7++
Always the case
2nd boss sucks in pug
NW post nerf is chill, I had my top DPS in that dungeon. The spears dont stack so you use one per boss. Also the abomb damage aura is WAY less for the third boss.
Not rly everyone knows that boss at this point
i've ran threads as a low key so many times now i could probably just jump into a threads 10 and maybe time it, complete for sure
ksm key,
If big problem get a DK in there
And a resto for additional interrupt
you can do it yogi!
Or MW for circle and aoe stun
I have trouble getting threat in M+ what am I missing
It might sounds weird but siege after last boss nerfs are chill
ripbozo to anyone who wanted to download my +20 video and didnt
a better weapon as well
the log still exists but the video file and youtube account for it no longer exist
Try to open with a large dmg aoe spell immediately
Because your dps will
More damage. You can try tabbing around shield slam multiple mobs instead of shield slam only one mob
They won't even let you position xd
Speaking of threat Nom, I had the most threatening aura pwar in a key i did the other day on my disc priest
Imagine doing a 7 GB and seeing a pwar with 30 seconds of SB uptime by the end of the dungeon
what have you been doing sal
What a fuckin legend
Raiding as Fury and arms and not tanking 
Shield block is overrated
hes one of them haste mastery dudes i spoke of
Just tank the damage raw
same same
well im tanking keys but thats it
Gotta say, spamming flash heal as a disc priest is my favorite thing to do
dont need shield block if u have 30k mastery
10/10 experience
Wish Blizz published official cutoffs
i know its bad but i like the " " " 12 minute cd " " " (cant think of name version of Hpriest
For what? It only matters at the end of the season lol
its basically pwar for priest :S
Keep it live throughout
They do, 2 weeks before the season ends.
Nice nice
you cast ST heals you get st heal cds, same for AOE and every time u do it, it empowers that ability which is basically our indom but as an active
We'll not have like the bis specs but still good chance I think. Planning on Prot Warr, Ret, Frost/Uh, Resto Druid, and a pug Ele We also are weekend warriors with jobs/families tho.
Am I stupid if I go no Ravager?
Parrygodx van you tell blizz to remove the +7 affix nobody likes it
i like that one alot
Idk like proba 5% of your overall and big rage
Big rage during big pull
Goes hard imo
I miss it giving parry
You mean when it was dogshit?
The thing is that I want to play the build YoDa recommends, but I feel so squishy without the stamina nodes :/
The build yoda plays is special
Not sure how to fit in ItF, Bolster and Enduring Alacrity without skipping Ravager
In all ways of the meanings
It was? Always had it, don't even remember
Was it like SL talents
It was absolute ass until they buffed it's dmg by like 6000%
Lol
For SL
Avg Blizz rollout and balancing
same been practicing aug 
I probably picked smth else in the tree back then
shadowlands classic when
In bfa it gave 35% parry and a literal dmg loss of a gcd
Kekw
All that parry didn't even give a free Revenge proc or smth
Then again it's capped..
You can get all that, if you drop bloodsurge and bsv
Ah, is Bloodsurge droppable?
Yes
It's a great point, but the only droppable point
Dropping other things has bigger, worse, impact
Hey hey
cloud man are you saying HR is only 6% loss in AOE? I've not tried an AOE sim yet, but sim says nearly -50k going ITF to HR for ST for me
Okay
🐑
And how much is that in %
Ok, if we just put it like this, with these secondaries, is it even worth going for ItF?
what are you dropping bloodsurge for? to get bsv and keep ravager?
Im 625
To get bolster
6.7% 
🙂

Sounds almost like I know my numbers eh
Yoda build is still goated okay

@lusty grotto peep my rank 1 
Thunderous roar, BSV, ravager
I wasn't questioning I was clarifying I swear
you need to be banned
that one gross build
for typing that
is there a trinket list sticky or anything?
Yeah but dont you need more haste to make that smooth? I have 22%
Can I ask how exactly?
I gave it a quick look once, because it looked 'neat' but I didn't give it much thought because yoda's gear, skill and specially group condition heavily how/what he plays.
Did he write a guide or similar about it? If so does anyone have a link or similar?
I wouldn't go ITF with that no
Dont play yoda build lol
Ok, then Ill stick to HR 8-)
if you want to drop a point in the bottom champ's spear talents, you keep the rage one right?
Yoda is a very good player but his build is sus
piercing challenge vs champion's might
You can follow Kira build though
He's dropping 6-8% DR on prio target, 8% stam 8% armor and 2% haste to get a fake cheat death and play ITF, which also grants haste BTW
His choice to play roar is fine, the 45sec roar is alot easier to play but a decent dmg loss
there's no way yoda doesn't play these burnt builds just to mess with people
@lusty grotto
Yoda doesnt play Enduring Alacrity which is criminal
Also playing 2x shieldwall is almost never the play as you lose out on 26.67% rage generation on shield slam
And 40sec CD on shield wall
Just as cooked
Of all the things, ITF is the one I didn't question "big haste+more haste=more better gooder"
I assume the idea is that he has shieldwall for "every" pull and shieldwall grants avatar.
cuz of double stam points and 2xsheild wall?
They're high ranked cuz they play alot and with the right people, not because they're god tier at playing the class themselves or come up with "revolutionary builds"
When I got KSH on a different chat,
the double shield wall talent has been discussed for literaly years now and is a cornerstone of a fotm prot warr build imo
char, probably i cant get the hero item again?
without doing anything
You always have sw for every pull
It's a 40sec CD
You get it fucking twice per pull 
or it was for KSM
ah ok 😄
