Is it charge tclap, charge tclap, leap tclap?

#

Are people just expected to know not to zug until they're clumped?

jagged pier
#

u can leave rav on the first pack

#

or throw is on the next

spark lichen
#

Rav on danger/money/prio pack I assume?

#

Mainly the sketch pulls are in NW with the fkn harvesters

ionic fern
#

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.

ionic fern
#

Je,but this way you cover your ass.

#

"i did tell you..".

fresh kernel
#

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

obtuse tide
#

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.

jagged pier
#

it deals less damage

#

and gives less rage

#

but gives more snap threat

lean bramble
#

1 point in Uproar it's 45s
CS is still 1:30 it deal more DMG more threat less rage generate less mob control.

celest shuttle
#

Hitting all targets with Roar is also easier than Spear, so you might want to consider that if mobs are not packed

heya does IP anything about the absorb on feast ?

#

or rather can i help with something else then victory

hoary pivot
tawdry dirge
tender reef
#

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

IP is not a heal, but indom is. IV and LS also heals

violet ginkgo
#

After that pray to healer to heal you.

peak pier
#

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

Would anyone be able to give me some advice on what hurts in necrotic wake and why?

woeful trellis

People don’t play mechanics

graceful kite

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

they should just remove weapons now and tune bosses accordingly

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

onyx pike
#

how do you guys analyse logs, if even? Or are we green if we simply survive?

sweet summit
#

you should keep an eye on necromancer reanimate dead cast to atop it asap (stun or fear it)

woeful trellis
#

Yes intervene + reflect, cause sometimes you can’t get out so fast

woeful trellis
sweet summit
onyx pike
#

so nobody compares for dmg done logs?

graceful kite
#

logs are done to check your gameplay

#

damage will come with good gameplay

onyx pike
graceful kite
#

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

onyx pike
#

thats what it feels like :kekw

graceful kite
#

(actually to check who's failing mechanics 5 times in a row but stays silent)

onyx pike
#

i get it for dps players tho

#

in the end u wont get that sweet 100 without pi and sugarcoating evoker, but still.

graceful kite
#

im memeing tho logs are helpful to check gameplay and mechanic failures

#

I did 1 round of raid tanking got 99

onyx pike
#

do people log their m+ nowadays? I check my uptimes with details

graceful kite
#

gotta fix purple stuff next week and be gucci

jagged pier
#

u have logs on keys

#

we also dont care about uptime

#

useless metric

graceful kite
#

I have a general rule for myself that if I'm under purple log I'm misplaying heavily

sweet summit
#

details don't show you if you get hit in the back or things like that

onyx pike
#

wtf is actually do, how? i never logged, so someone in my group?

graceful kite
#

on anything other that a healer

sweet summit
graceful kite
#

how do I do good logs on bloodbound tho

#

somehow I just do shit dps on it

molten gorge
#

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)

jagged pier
graceful kite
#

i dont like that drop

jagged pier
#

tanked these are like 613 in an alt run

graceful kite
#

gotta fix that

jagged pier
#

on a reclear when we didnt have one of our 2 tanks

#

613 ilvl again

graceful kite
#

well im not a main tank too

jagged pier
#

should get logs now

graceful kite
#

im a bad fury war

jagged pier
#

im 11ilvls higher

#

raid leading is annoying as dps

#

hc are better tbf

#

but i never said i was a good dps

#

so

eternal marlin
#

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?

jagged pier
#

whatever you are comfortable with

eternal marlin
#

well here is the thing, i dont know much about prot warr as this is my first time playing it

jagged pier
#

then stay HR until more comfrotable

eternal marlin
#

people have said before to get 35-40% haste and then use it

jagged pier
#

its not a one fix

#

u still need to pay attention to SB with ITF even at those haste levels

eternal marlin
#

with 35% and into the frey i dont think i get perma uptime on shield block

jagged pier
#

with HR u can just forget about needing to think about it

sharp gale
#

You need to grief

molten gorge
# jagged pier

at this point I dare not even do Mythic as a tank, cause I've only done it as Arms as well keks, think I'd end up griefing haha

sharp gale
#

I played colossus

jagged pier
sharp gale
#

You need to grief + short kill timer ofc

graceful kite
#

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

jagged pier
#

but its more damage

molten gorge
jagged pier
#

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

eternal marlin
#

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?

jagged pier
#

pick which ither stat u like and run with it

eternal marlin
#

got one of each atm, but not sure if thats good.

jagged pier
#

thats not as good as double of one of them

#

so u just pick your favourite

#

and double it up

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?

sharp gale
#

maybe you will 3 tanks it just because you don't have 2 mass grab

fast oracle
#

hitting a shockwave on a group of parasites when they spawn really helps the DPS out

rough fiber
#

Yeah... Mythic+ build pretty much...

fast oracle
#

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

sharp gale
#

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

rough fiber
#

Will try today with some utility build, giving up some damage

graceful kite
#

how do you get out

fast oracle
#

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

graceful kite
#

wdym call out taunts

#

am I out of the loop of tanking

sharp gale
graceful kite
#

and why need a wa for taunts

fast oracle
#

like I said, could just be my group, but they say it helps when the tanks call it

graceful kite
#

for what reason

#

like to put stuff on active tank?

sharp gale
#

you need specific healing care just to tank melees ?

fast oracle
#

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

ionic fern
graceful kite
#

Its just they every frame default and addons has stuff to track a person who holds aggro and debuffs to heal

fast oracle
#

I didn't ask so I can't explain

graceful kite
#

I dont get why would you need to call things out

ionic fern
#

Okay,tell them "no.".

#

You're welcome.

fast oracle
#

we did it when I was learning the fight and it just kind of became a habit

marble night
#

Can the targeted frontal from NW 1st boss be reflected?

graceful kite
#

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

sharp gale
sweet summit
#

with spell block*

sharp gale
#

yes with spell block

marble night
#

Great

graceful kite
#

never hurts to also send reflect

marble night
#

Sometimes I intervene folks who aren’t close and get clipped

graceful kite
#

free dr

woeful trellis
# graceful kite what do you mean by that btw

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

sharp gale
#

and when you dont have Spell block, just SR you will never die from that

graceful kite
#

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...

sharp gale
#

and a dps/healer targeting ability will not kill a tank

marble night
#

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

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 dmg whise its weap?

idk about the dmg scaling tbh

vague abyss

but sword would be close second

ebon geyser
#

dahell is this saved unsaved vip spam in services what does that mean

graceful kite
#

quit /5 channel

strong forum
#

Unsaved means the raiders in the boost are also eligible to loot, meaning the boost itself will drop items like normal

graceful kite
#

its specifically for advertisement of carries

strong forum
#

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

cedar kite
#

vip also used to refer to when there is only one buyer for each tier and/or armor type

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

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.

its bad in those games cuz its 2 teams that are pvp

i dont think it would be an issue in keys

tropic tangle

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

not u or healer for obvious reasons

its more about the speed of doing those 3 acts in succesion, but if everyones fast, just the lowest dps

strong forum

Yeah

tribal wharf

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

sweet summit
#

is there a downside to having one dps sit on gripping btw?

left beacon
#

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

tribal wharf
#

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

left beacon
#

you can stop the slams?

tribal wharf
#

stuns, yes

left beacon
#

reallly?

tribal wharf
#

it stops it for the duration of the stun

#

they recast but it means less of them get off in total

left beacon
#

Hmmm i never knew u could do that, I guess you could maybe shave off 1 slam since the DR would hit pretty quick

tribal wharf
#

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

left beacon
#

i never knew u could stun it, i guess that could come in handy if someone is about to die for sure

tribal wharf
#

i just stop the first 3

You could stop it in bfa, can no longer right now

thats about it

strong forum
#

In DF it's just an item again everyone can use

#

Cuz it was dumb as fuck to lock CR behind a crafted item

molten gorge
#

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

tribal wharf
#

or if we want +1.5 X of (stat but lets be real haste or crit)

#

cuz only budgeted for 1 secondary

strong forum
tribal wharf

but amped to make up for it

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?

Time to learn to raid tank IG

tribal wharf
#

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.

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.
