How is the wax trinket treating you? I've heard it's pretty good by folks in some places, but it doesn't show on any of the major lists (WowHead/Icy Veins) or even on Azure
I think I’m one to press ignore pain too much. It is usually my top casted with shield slam 2nd.
I tend to like getting it to 3m. Or is that not necessary?
I did 3 +9 dawn breakers earlier.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/MfPNFkRKLgxmchB3#fight=2&type=damage-done
i think I could have done much better job with shield wall, but in a 9 the dmg doesn’t seem that bad unless I over pull.
I think I’m getting rage staved because I’m spamming IP.
ever since I switched to Thane
I am IP capped
about to run my Grim Batol 12
idk what to bring
oh well this 2.9k resto shammy can tell me instead
It's a nice net in pugs but, should I take impenetrable instead?
for grim batol, 2nd boss, do you guys clear all platforms before pulling boss or is just first platform enough?
Meh, don't notice it really
YIKES I did not know that okay yep swapping to that
Anyways with 2 shield wall charges and HR I had that glorious 23s shield block and I was doing way better
this is so unhinged LMAO
he was signed up, i didnt eevne decline or anything
bro immedaitely text this
there is a serious mental health crisis in this world
This feels like a dumb question to ask, but icy veins and wowhead prot guides both say the crit-vers shoulders from necrowake are BIS. Shouldn't it be the crit haste shoulders from city of thread?
honestly doesnt matter much just get highest ilvl shoulders you can
i meant assuming i have both at equivalent ilevel
I guess haste is generally wanted yes
they probably sim higher assuming you have all other gear on that bis list
how is that possible? I didn't think we had nearly enough haste at this level to start reaching diminishing returns like that
I do the first pack lava fist, then go on the other lava fist pack in the roundish thing, the boss pass, I do the 3 dude pack(shadow flame slash one) with/without the boss
it's how much damage you do compared to the average prot warrior for that fight
Out of 100 prot warriors, you can beat 24 of them
higher numbers mean you are performing above average, lower numbers mean you're doing poorly
And 75 are better than you based on your damage in those fights
I’d go read the rotation page on wowhead!
I guess that's a bad thing huh
Of note is that specific page will also note the percent at the time of your best
So if you performed better early on in gearing, but performed worse as people go geared, it'd still say your best was 95th oercentile, even if the damage in it would now be like a 70th percentile
how is everyone ddealing with the double guardian packs in Mists?
they are absolutely dunking on me with anima slash and melee
just bricked a 8 cause of double guardian shaper tender pack
SR and then Spell Block/Shield Wall/etc
The cast is reflectable, so you should only get one stack of the debuff
your casts are fine
awesome thanks i thought that too but i thought it was a melee so didnt think of reflect
can someone share their grim batol route pls
nah its rly hard to pug 12s
dungeon is almost linear man
not as hard as having all my pres online at the same time tho..
is anyone crafting gloves
Hello guys
Can someone take a look
I don't understand why i take "la bite" as we say in french.
I'm taking a lot of damage.
You have to look at the COT
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FThAtQn3mDL8pG2k#fight=last&start=9254509&end=9322446
https://raider.io/characters/eu/elune/Yoyö
I took this pack (see screenshot) and got totally obliterated
I have 96% shield block uptime on the pack, wall shield was on CD (i used it on boss during the AOE)
"Dernier rempart" The PV upgrade CD in used
Spell block was on CD, and up during 10% of the fight
And don't say something like "you suck".
I know, but that's not the point.
I mean, i don't know what i did wrong
Thank you ❤️
And i take a lot of damage anyway on all the dungeon
do you go 2x duskthread/dawnthread or are you supposed to go 1 duskthread 1 dawnthread
The shit I am experiencing in this 12s/13s is breaking me as a person
I want to see the pack pulls. Coz a healer just blamed me for pulling those fire guys with other pack to try to time th key after a wipe. Thing is, i could easily handle it but that guy died for standing in frontal -_-
and we wiped and the key bricked. They were like you never pull that guy with another pack, etc
It like literally doesn't matter what you do with them
They're basically equivalent
anyone got a good potion weakaura i can use?
If you had 5 mythic track vault slots, a mythic shield but no mythic weapon; are you opening as prot or fury?
Are you still opening vault/loot end of m+ in prot or did you switch?
Is a potential myth track Ara trinket better upgrade than a 639 wpn? Prob wanna sim that
finally
sorry if this has been answered before.. but is there a reason ppl are saying authority of the depths is better than radiant power? .. looks like radiant power sims better in aoe.. e.g. M+..
i setup my plater to only display important debuffs from myself. which debuffs should i track as protection warrior
If you exclusively M+ go radiant. If you exclusively raid Depth.
If you do both then up to you
is there an easy way to handle multiple item sets when u get a new item
that u want in both
cry that you play fury and only it can dual wield 2Hs
That's a pretty wild pull. All of those mobs do some sort of phys dmg move. 11x of those mobs have a stacking phys dmg debuff and 2x of them have a stacking bigger tank hit.
no i mean
i have multiple item sets
i get a new item
now u have to equip it, switch set, equip it again
switch set
anyways i almost bricked a 5 ara-kara ama
yeah no other way i think
memorizing routes gotta be the thing im worst at
wasted a ton of time with my yolo swag route
which dungeon are you struggling at
i wouldnt say struggling, if u had me do it again i know my way around now
ara kara
like i know it NOW
3/8 10s timed, 5 to go.
you are a demon for doing it this late
Just quit out of a 10 NW with 270 deaths, I guess I ain't timing that one this week
was earlier tonight lol
wtf is that
270...
my condolences, my sweet prince
you'll get it next week
my worst is 105 in AD +18
Is anyone else Getting absolutely hammered in Dawnbreaker? I am struggling hard to stay alive on some of these packs. Not all just like the house LT and its mobs and the air ship spider packs in the beginning.
no
do you have a log
because saying that without context is not useful information to diagnose a problem
Air ship spiders genuinely smack at higher keys, needs interrupts
I saw nomer get his BSV popped through SW in a 12 after a missed kick
I do not have a log. I will log it next time just curious if it was a common occurrence people had.
I dont run BSV but maybe for that one i should.
I am still doing baby keys so may just be a skill issue.
what key level, bud?
Yeah definitely a skill issue, nothing truly starts to hurt until you're past 10s
But like at a 4 i struggled and rhe other dungeons i dont take damage.
4 is a pressing button issue
if you're thane and mauling your buttons the way you need to, you'll have wall for both, and avatar for both
make sure to rotate kicks and reflects on the bolt and you're bing chillin
Maybe it is a kick issue. I will have to log and let yall see if i am doing something wrong fundamentally as well.
do u have a plater profile that highlights important kicks in an impossible to miss color
you should if u dont
if you're getting mauled in a 4, there's 100% more on your end you can be doing
in a 4 you shouldn't be taking much damage from anything, if your hp is yoyoing you might simply be taking unblocked hits
you should be invincible in anything below a 10
yes
That means they got to my back right?
yes, I take tankbusters for funsies to not get bored
especially if you charge on the middle mob, you'll take double back hits from the adjacent enemies on either side
like my shield is a veteran 609 and i still take frontals to the face if i feel lazy
it means you dropped shield block
get a WA to track shield block uptime
make sure you keep it up
Ah ok i will do that.
if u dont already have one, id recommend u get a WA pack that tracks everything
at least 4 me its easy to literally forget i have abilities unless they're in a WA pack and displayed to me
I think i need to modify the one i have to make certain things more noticeable.
Is there a noce clean wa pack yall recommend?
i use a super customized version of luxthos'
Oh and i use a spell cd on plates WA.
its mine, so that makes it the best
Awesome so better WAs and logs. Thanks peeps i appreciate the help. Been a blast so far tanking.
you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
smh
same
huge prot war pvp meta
2700-2800 io bracket is hell
I'd have all 12s timed today if 12s in LFG weren't polluted with people who were never meant to be carried past a 10
I fucking can't bro

Forgive me that's vent posting
I just legit cannot stand the fact that 99% of the playerbase puts in 5% as much effort as the other 1%
and if you don't push with a group/log for several days you're just ass-out and have to put up with the tryhard bracket catching up
at which point you can no longer pug with good LFG players because they've kept up and surpassed the curve
So you're tormented with the knowledge that you don't belong in the IO bracket you're in
but you can't break out unless you get a group to line up
What’s the main damage generator for prot warriors? Just started playing one tonight. Timed a couple 7s but i only do like 300-400k damage. 623 ilvl (basically my fury set + sword/board). feel like I’m rage starved often and spending it for defensive
SS and TC if you play thane.
Ss and Revenge if you play colo
Rage starving? Do you have a log
Nah, just goofing around with it tonight to see if I could figure it out. Playing thane. SS is likely what I’m missing. Thank you sir
Literally went from doing delves to timing 7s because I realized I I couldn’t learn it in delves. Needed to be thrown in
Felt bad because I’m 2650 rating, and people thought they were getting an awesome tank
And had no idea what I was doing lol
RIP
for the last boss in grim batol, can i run through as many tentacles as i like while i have the spell reflect buff? or just 2?
As many as you can
ok i was worried i would get stun if i pop more then 1-2
Yeah SS is big, dmg and rage wise
have you looked at timed keys leaderboard?
Literally the best tank rn for pushing high keys
In pugs Veng / Prot pally actually still pretty good cuz op silence
Yes
Can acknowledge it's worse this season than ever before though
Most top-end M+ players have acknowledged it
brah majority of players are hard stuck at 7s
Ya
Half the people doing 12s should be too tbh
It's somehow more frustrating than the player base in Shadowlands
well the player base in shadowland were the poor poor souls who actually enjoyed the game and more dedicated to it
so in general they were better
Idk, people got pretty spoiled by not needing a healer then so there were even issues at that point
but I'd tend to agree, now that I think about it a little more
calling me out frfr
xD
Dw it never gets better
🙏
dw ik
it got worse actually

we had all these squishes
maybe its time for dps players squish 
how do you get declined as tank in 8's - i even got invitet to 8 mists on my 595 gs brewmaster last week 😅
Last week, also kinda depends on day of week and hour
I have dps friend that prefers to play in odd hours cuz its easier to get into groups than during peak hours
as dps silly
0 invites for 10s for 30min. Do a single +10 mists, group invites me to go do 10 GB, then do two 10 Dawn since I'm now past the gatekeeping wall. Just like/beg/steal/bribe your way into a single 10 then the queue game changes instantly if you time it.
What io are you
That’s a bold claim
hey people, new protection here - LOVE IT
is the play just to fill out lowest ilvl pieces for crafted gear
or is there some pieces that are by far more worth it than others ( shield etc )? seems like the top players are running the same crafted pieces most of the time
is Duskthrea lining x2 not stacking?
45 wipes
u need to reset the buff
hey guys! Do you guys have a list about what warriors can spell reflect/block in dungeons?

hey first timer here what is the avergae uptime of shield wall and igno pain from a good player ? ^^
How you guys going in raid?
We got mythic Rash lastnight. Was a setup from the other 3 output wise
idk and idk
ip uptime is irrelevant, you use it as a rage dump.
shield wall is more situational but effective cd is like less than a minute with am and the other thing so you have it quite often
Depends what content you’re doing imo
oh my bad not shield wall, shield block
Mountain thane your ip will be very high uptime and you should have shield wall for every pack
first timer again xD
Shield block will be close to 100 on raid bosses
You playing heavy repurcussions?
shield block uptime doesn't tell you a whole lot
ideally you log and look at blocked hits%. where the goal is as close to 100% as possible, more realistically 95ish%
i played just a standart build dunno lol
i took the same mountain thane build from yodatv
i recommend using the thane m+ build from wowhead
Ignore pain is 100% required to be up
that is not true
Thane is much better then colossus if you’re new
Think of it as a commanding shout or like a rogues bleed
Better overall anyway, but colossus can be fun for the frontloaded damage
Gotta get those 8 stack 1.9m Crit SS booooyyyy
He plays builds that are specifically for super high keys because they need to be played differently, you're better off not using them for now
Is anyone else getting destroyed by the last pack in the maze in Mists?
nope
Spellblock
double guardians hurt u need to use defesnives correctly
That is not true and people will sometimes be rage starved if they try to follow that
Ok cool, really good to know. Will get good!
see u in top 10 soon then
if it dies slow you will take huge damage. but with spell reflect, shield wall and spell block in your arsenal you should be fine. with only spell block up the dot still fucks so you might just be at the mercy of your healer
I was yesterday, healer blamed me I didn't use SB before pulling 
Is there a list of dangerous trashmobs? Like shredders and guardians or is it just learn by die?
trial and error mostly
A lot about wow is just experience
Whenever sounds like "fire slash" "frostbolt" "shadowflame rend" and has a castbar and is directed at you, be it interruptable or uninterruptable those are usually the dangerous things to look out for and use CDs or spell reflect against
Anything slam, crush, smash, strike is usually just physical damage that is blockable
They often make the dangerous spells sound dangerous I feel
Yeah
Shadowflame Rend, I'm shaking reading that
The name alone is oftentimes your biggest hint when encountering something new
My first reaction when seeing that ability and it being an uninterruptable cast I was like "oh okay this I can probably reflect"
And voila, it is
Haha
Literally instinct to pop SR on casts I don't know
is web eruption on broodtwister deflectable?
That's an aoe
So I would say no
Aoe
its able to be completly negated by freedom and pre ams
Yeah cuz it prevents the application of the debuff
Spell reflect doesn't prevent debuff application in 98% of cases
it is a directed spell on you isnt it.
"Cast on you"
Without ifs or buts
also, you can reflect/deflect princess lines. that certainly isnt directed on you mr
2775
It works, and sometimes doesn't
AoE isn't cast on you, it's cast on the area
Hazbuk
That's why it's Area of Effect
That thing is a direct spell on you.
and ive mentioned examples within the same raid, where you can deflect aoe effects that are not directed to you
the only logical anwsner was given by nomeratur
Yeh SR is different case by case
the sheet doenst mention the spell at all
Then probably can't be
maybe you check first before advice
y but sometimes you can reflect aoes and sometimes you cant on targetet abilitys - its a lot of test and learn or reading spreadsheet 😉
the sheet is directed towards tank players.
The web eruption can only be obtained by healers
and dps
I've progged as DPS and I wanna say if you're pre-sr the game just says "nah I'll give it to someone else"
but I don't have proof
It's just feelycraft
Well, ive bladestormed it, which is as you mentioned, the same reason not to get teh buff as with freedom
Not like it matters much as slayer dps cuz you have the charge thingy
Where you just leap out, and charge removes it for you
ideally you woundt want to run auto of meele at all and save leap for other things, right?
theres no real reason to not use leap, you are right.
but i still wonder, if dk's can pre ams it.
If warriors could deflect it
Try it out?
Can't confirm or deny without scouring all my logs to see if I got Web with SR up
Memory doesn't serve me well
well, if you pre ams / freedom. You are not getting the application at all. Dunno how you would figure out in the logs.
our dk/pals are doing it. i am pressing SR aswell.
By checking if I got Web with SR up
the good thing about it is it gets rid of the disspell so noone is rooted. thats the big thing about it
Yeah
So does pre-bladestorm
Bad part is
Getting Web 0.1s before you bladestorm

exacftly, but pre-bladestorming isnt an option right?
i mean there is only 2 overlaps of adds and web if i remember correctly
Happened multiple times on first adds
but you never wanna bladestorm for that mechanic, right.
as you said as slayer you already have the tool to be not reliant on "stupid" healers
But for exactly the reason u pointed out i would have wanted to know if its deflectable. so i dont fuckover the raid with a bladestorm. Since that certainly has happend aswell... once or twice...
Not sure if this helps, but I checked some logs of some guilds progressing the boss, and there are warriors taking damage from Sticky Web (which I think is the direct cast element) while Reflect is up
so looks like it doesn't negate the same way AMS does
Hello guys, as new warrior ilvl 600 whats the best item i can craft rn? One handed or shield?
Guys is the Spellreflect sheet up to date? I don't see the Trash Faceless Corruptor on the Grim Batol list
Shield
Whats a good overall uptime on shieldblock in a m+dung?
and im pretty sure its channeling ability is reflectable
You aim for effective 100%
Of course, but thats not the question
Since SB cant be extended with the M+ talents i dont see how thats possible
with HR and low haste you should be 95%+
?
Question is incorrect because its not about uptime its about blocked and unblocked hits
with ITF and high haste you should be 95%+
ITF?
Hr extends shield block, haste from itf cdrs shield block
Heavy repercussions and into the fray choice node
On the left closer to bottom of your spec tree
Is there any logs around showing that high uptime?
lots of them
It should be but It might be an oversight
can link some of mine even
Id test it but its real late into the dungeon and tanks dont get targeted by it
sure
It is reflectable you just have to do it before the cast goes through
my pb 😎
IF YOU HAVE RAGE PROBLEMS I FEEL BAD FOR YOU SON, I GOT 99 BLOCKS BUT A HIT AIN'T ONE
need to check recent logs, think I'm at 95 with ITF now
i always glance over logs after a session to see what i need to improve on 
I've gotten lazier now cause I think I'm doing okay-ish

I still need to use Wall more, cause pointless having the CDR and then not using it
may as well run the 2x Wall if you're not gonna use it practically on CD
(tho ig the rage is very good too)
plan you wall, either in m+ or in raid
pull more agressively or just use as is to smooth/reduce damage
you should maximize your casts while maintaining coverage during important phases
When do I start using cheat death talent? It seems insanely good, just started pushing 11/12s on my alt prot war
you're an important phase
Up to you
cheat death is usually good when you need it otherwise it's useless
yeah, but what would you be losing to take it
if you consistently die without making mistakes, then cheat death can save
You lose dmg and tankiness by trying to get BSV
everything - gary oldman
11s and 12s are not where you need BSV imo, especially not after the nerfs
The choices are dropping Ravager or Shield Charge + Champions Bulwark
Every 13+ key I've seen prot war, have it everytime without fail
the "safer" play so ofc
so around 13/14+ def take?
and they're playing with a team
yea
cheat death is an answer to
a. low skill
b. extremely low gear
c. extremely high risk plays
It's not a def take
I mean, definitely is a strong word
You pick it when you want to take it
understand on which point you are
but first time you clear it, maybe you wanna take it as a little crutch in case
but maybe not
Makes sense I see what you guys are trying to say
context matters
heal issue with pugs?:)
there's just an argument for both the way I see it, I ran it with and without in a 12 Mists pre-nerf and couldn't really tell the difference, my healer claimed it was easier cause he was less worried about me
but that is psychological imo
Then that means that you're not gonna time the key anyway
^
If your healer is the one being bad
anyone else having pug groups dispel the affix on tank last tho 🙂
or it's still point a.
Everyone will die
Heal issue will kill your group
low skill isnt just yours
This season is about dps players getting chonked
but honestly (idk if it's still the case) bad dps are worse than bad healer
this season is more diff for tank, with pugs no interupts hurt too

Idk, dps are always the first to die
Bad healer is worse because you have 3 rolls for a good dps
having pumpers in the group makes healing less important
more dps = better average
In a 10 you need 1 good dps to be comfortable (except nw probably but im not stepping foot in that shithole)
And if you can time the key with a shit healer, it just means the keylevel is too low and your own talents wouldn't have mattered anyway
anyway i would play cheath death with pug even on 12:)
sir, i respectfully invoke the damage meter
There are premades failing 12s
aren't all groups "pre" made though
got'em
about 12s btw, i got flamed for following the route that raider.io suggests in my grim batol 12 the other day, are those routes not good enough to time 12s?
Its always the tanks fault when he dies 😈
People and complaining about routes
what was the route?
Best route: press W
'my faourite streamer doesnt do this route' REEEEEEEEEEEEE
xD
can pin this too i give permission
ig it's more which packs you pull together
and I've seen people spawn the dragons for example
which is mental to me
😂
just the weekly routes from raider.io
i always spawn dragon to skip 2 before 3rd boss:>
At least it's not the Shadowlands S1 affix (prideful)
smh have I got to look it up myself? 😭
this?
if you literally pulled as the numbers say, then ya
Yea
I leap over chasms and laugh at my dps trying to catch up while i aoe packs
34 pulls 
If you can call it a route
ya idk, I'd expected to get flamed if I was doing the packs like that ngl
haha
yep true :p
well, i paired some of them, but not much
I made this one its alright
in 12's is really 2much pulls
ya this looks a lot better
think I do something very similar
I’ll try this too. Thx
halleluja, gotta love a buffed dragon from the overseer
i play this one
It does nothing and you can los it at bridge small stone thingys
So if its alive just move it to the next pack
this routes you guys linked, i think i might struggle to survive some of them lol)
Its not about the dragon dmg tho
you get a full hp dragon
with low hp mobs
taking time
You move it to next pack
isnt that way over count?
so better is play pull 25?
Dragon is free count
yep
Might give it a go
What keylevel are we talking here?
12+
Massive kap
If it was really 12+ you wouldnt be suggesting pulling in a fullhp mob within the first area
Do they still tank third boss in the little corner in high keys ?
Because I like to skip the 2 lavabenders pack tbh
Yes still works and even if it was sorta fixed its still superior to the alternative
yestarday it works
Do you want a vod with people pulling it?
And even in worse circumstances
this is what I've been doing
Not if it works, do you get one shoted by the frontal at some point ? Or it’s still fine with def cd ?
notes 1 and 2 are prio for flight
No because i know itll just be inefficient
Why
i didnt die so i guess was ok:) 12 key
You move dragon and have to stand still for 1s once every 20+
And just kill packs along the way
I'm mostly confused that the guy who was asking about block uptime and asked for evidence that over 90% was possible is now an expert on +12 keys lol
Why even bring in a 165mil hp mob, into mobs with half HP when you have free mobs in section 3?
not saying I disagree with him, I don't pull the big dragon either
Like right after the 2nd boss area is done you should have 2nd lust up for example
Chainpulling with mobs with higher hp is efficient, if you reach the boss and he is still alive maybe at this point you can call it inefficient
Doing a huge pull with lust with the ascension guy
As you dont need or want lust on the dragon boss
or anything along that way
If you lust big pull after 2nd boss you will have it up for last boss
So its the play
Big as in i pull asc guy 2 mobs on the left and 3 on the right
Bl fist pull is more to have 3 bl
Meanwhile you can still have 3 BLs if you lust a big pull @ dragons
its risky pull where u cant los aoe or im wrong? never did it
If youre aiming for +2, it doesnt matter, you wont have 3 either way
++
2 chest
why would you tho? the 2 packs + patrol
Getting to the flying dragons doesnt take 4 minutes
of course
Considering the pullsuggestions here, this is Stier
it's not
timed an 11 on his Pala tho so he'
s decent
I don't think pulling big dragon in there is the play tho either personally
Dont forget the overseers buff the dragons as well
def think lust first pull tho, the doorway + dragon + patrol is decent enough for a lust
tho I have waited before and lusted the dragon packs
depends how good dps are with kicks tbh, cause the dragon packs can be bad if not enough stops
very bad even
we'll see what the real sweats come up with at MDI anyway ig
Ok this guy is trolling
hahaha
On the only guide i found about colossus in raid i found it scales a lot with versa
Is that correct?
You just sim
“”””ye still me asking about colossus”””””
Thanks
Ill sim as i get home
Does someone has some tips on how to play it in raidv
do the rotation correctly 👍
Hi Experts,
I have a struggle where I would like to get some tips.
When I am pulling trashpacks in M+, and there are some serious dps I just cant take good aggro when pulling a pack. Lets not talk about time where they pull it instead of me even...
But I just charge in, use some abilities and 1-2-3 mobs start to run HOT sometimes and I am trying to get them together with everything I have left to taunt.
What can I do wrong and what should I do when pulling a pack to avoid this situation?
do you skip the first pack?
I am no expert but the only thing that can happen really is that you use your first thunderclap too early when you charge in and it misses some mobs, so before the second thunderclap hits they are already running to dps. So just make sure your aoe hits them properly and maybe wait like half a second to make sure all the mobs you want to pull are going to get hit.
outside of that its just gear one tclap should be enough unless you play with dps that have like 15+ ilvl more than you have on your tank
Im no expert either, what i do on packs that have many mobs and i know the dps will full zug zug it, i save avatar to have extra Thunderblasts right at start too, helped me.
Double Clap via Avatar works, Clap into Revenge works (but not at the cost of surviving), AoE CDs (CS, SC, Rav) work, AoE taunt works and being aware of gear and burst and talking to your DPS also works
Charge TC Avatar TC TR Ravenger
5 mythic track vault slots. Have a mythic shield but not weapon
Would you open as fury or prot?
fury
Throw in ravager right before charging if you have it, charge and use avatar while you’re charging. Slam thunderblast as soon as u get there. Then just follow priority. You should never lose threat this way
If avatar comes up right near the end of a pull save it for the next pull, you’ll want it to secure threat since its extra dmg and 2 guarenteed thunderblasts right off the bat
If the pull is long and you use avatar twice, and then its not up for the next pull, you have aoe taunt to hold you over
if ret presses all buttons right after your charge they will still probably get aggro no?
Idk ive never had the issue
Only time a problem comes up is if you misplay and get the timing wrong for avatar
And dont have it for start of pull
Having aoe taunt up for double/triple pulls is nice too incase people start zugging before everythings grouped up
Is the swarmlord's authority trinket damage prevention PER SCARAB?
How do people have 90% uptime on SB and IP during m+ runs?
I feel like I am constantly pressing them when they run out but am sitting at like 65%…!?
Are you running the mythic plus talent build?
Id say uptime is basically 100%
Dont think I ever have shield block drop
Going to be my first vault on my prot warrior. Going to craft a weapon and shield soon so what spec would be best to open it as?
I don’t see builds in the pins, are you referring to wowhead m+ builds?
Do you press shield charge on CD ?
if you're thane you can do clap avatar clap for quick snap aggro
usually when you have your cds you should be fine with aggro unless we're talking serious pulls with people 10m-15m dpsing
you can use aoe taunt when you don't have your cds, can spam some revenge to get quick aoe threat instead of shield slamming
hello guys i am a new protection warrior :). is there any good build for mythic + u recommend? I started them last night, until now i have been raiding and accomplished 7/8hc but ,i feel like myhtic+ requires a different build.
or run double on use to make your burst higher
wowhead has good build for m+
okay thank you. do you use a fixed build for mythics or swap for each dungeon
fixed
thank you once more 🙂
Flashback to when we did the big pull on NW, our dps waited like 2-3 seconds until I said go and the enhance blasts 40M+ damage with his first two globals and cries about aggro 
But honestly the only dps that really cause aggro issues on pulls are enhancers and rets
Face a good DH… demonform eyeboom and the shit begins. Depends sometimes but in packs Like mists where you have to survive > dps… can a bit wierd imo… had more issues with DH then any other class 🤷♂️
dropping shield block is not nearly as dangerous as i thought it would be
seems like the only place you really never want to drop it is in big pulls against phys hits
depends on how big the melee abilities hit for really
only been hurt on the path to the double boss on SV when we do that big pull in hallway
vs non elites, normal elites, whatever
boss or fat elite, uh oh
but especially against bosses i dont seem to gain any significant benefit using it
granted did not test all bosses in m+
From using what
Don’t forget you are overgearing 10s and if you are 620+ ilvl
You still have a chance to block things
Its just not 100%
you never want to drop it anywhere
Even when it’s dmg window of first boss of mists you maintain sb for dmg on shield slam
its a huge dr its dumb to drop it if you're able to not drop it
I intervene them
Thats smart, I havent thought about that
How mich of the Overall heal from the Header should i get as the tank ? In +10s
If tou maintain shield block and use defensives, then however much needed to keep you alive
All there is to it, if die in a 10 theres a good chance you misplayed though, prot doesnt take damage
Kk ... its Not like im dying i just want to make IT as easy as possible for My pug Healers 😅
I don’t really check overall heals, like 500k in mists 10 maybe ?
Check current hps when something happens, because if the key goes smooth and it’s not a heavy hps dungeon (CoT) nothing happens
You could do Healing Done / Damage Taken * 100 and check how much of the damage you take is covered by yourself
Cot isnt even bad outside first couple pulls and spellblock works on those mobs
Im talking about healer, they don’t have spell block to heal the group
True i was thinking specifically tank healing though since was his question
Overall hps is useless without context
Like you don’t maintain shield block or you just naked eat anima slashs, yes expect a bigger hps on you
cot has a shit ton of unavoidable damage, I feel like it's a bit of a nightmare for healers, a bit of a snooze fest for tanks tho
I know it’s right, I’m not the one asking about overall hps
if you are looking to cheese the heal meters i may have forbiden yogi build and gear guide
its illegal warcrime stuff
anyone know?
Wanna know if I bother farming it or not
part of it, really surprisngly
was the sv RAM trinket "heals" quote unquote for a fuck load
it was doing 1million healing per 1 minute, that was at like 603? 606? but i have it 610 and it seems to do about 1.3m h p min
it only has a 1 minute cd and goes off on taunt, something you do alot in a key anyways
Is Colossus viable to pug low keys with, I just find mountain thane super boring
yes its fine

Okay great cheers guys 👌🏻
What part you have trouble with ?
is the damage prevention number PER SCARAB or?
i would imagine so, but i would check again too
do we even want the sikran trinket, even for dps
what is the best embelishment to run in M+ is it vers or crit or a third one ascension? i'm so confused about it what is good for the embelishment
behemoths looks really bad as well
you don't die you're fine
you die you should look at specific moment
overall heal means nothing
Hps>dtps = good
you can drop hp while shaman spams chain heal and they get hps on you even though you'd cover it
or they start casting some heavy crap in you and you just healthpot
so you get hps they dont
basically when you die you check your death log
if you're rotting away and getting nothing its probably healers fault
but it might be that you screwed up while your group was taking heavy damage or smth
ranto rant: I got no embellishment or tier 3 enchants etc. because I got like 2k gold lmao
Blizz won't let me buy a wow token in EU and I am Canadian
Due to currency shit
time to fish
And all I do is log-in: spam M+ log off
Oh i thought you couldn’t find 20€ by not eating this month
hallowfall blood in the water
Wait what
600 gold per shark
or you know
secret ways of obtaining gold
on specific websites
yeah can't use CAD or Canadian bank to buy wow token in EU
idk why some blizz bs
they also have better rates
Just use a credit card
like 40euro per mil
They won't even allow credit card
How do you pay your sub lol
I don't even have a wow token button in my game man
What embelishment will you guys run in M+?
Weird, are u in eu servers?
He is
Like how they know youre canadian tho, for u to not have a button to buy it even haha
did you try using eu vpn
is they dont show you a button to buy it might be a solution
Few things are weird with bnet, when they created bnet account my friend got his wow account on same bnet account of his brother and his father just because it was using the same card
well you can try using eu vpn if you can add money to account but cant buy specific stuff
id just buy gold somewhere else
yeah my account location is Canada but my WoW is EU (all my WoW friends are in EU including my premades so). Due to that, Iam not allowed wow token
start boosting 
Can you change your address and use vpn?
I wouldn't need to use a VPN but they ask for proof
Like an utility bill or smth
lmaoo
you can use vpn to buy token
so yeah my crafteds are 3 star because I did public orders with 50g tips lol
You can’t ask a friend to buy a wow token for you and you just pay him 20€ ?
Wait yeah hahahaba
I guess that'd work
They can trade me the gold etc.
In fact I can even buy them the balance
I can gift WoW to some1 in EU with Canadian bank but can't buy token
Which is insane
💀
Would be nice to recraft this stuff and have embellishments lmao
Gotta need to do some death rolls with that token gold to make a fortune
fr
Probably tax reasons as eu accounts are handled by eu entity and blizz is a b2c company. So they would need to fuck around with admin work of eu entity for a NA customer
I used to farm gold by selling conquest caps and 1550 rating achis back in MoP
Id suggest doing m+ boosts but its dead rn
When I could solo 1v2
Yo but wait you’re on eu servers, its popping off in eu
If you lose, just buy 2 wow tokens and deathroll for double amount
Yeah it's like 50k per run for tanks
Idk if they'd get me tho, I am 620 and score is 2630
Oh wow rates are low there
They all like I think 625 and 2.7-8k
Sylvannus wants 2.6k
Got a friend boosting 12s it’s really cheap lol
Whats cheap
Nice, yeah I could, if it matches my play hours lool
Wow crazy, cuts here are like 150k
shadowlands boosting was so good
ez 2 goldcaps for me
I guess something to do with blizzard ban hammer
after losing 5 mill rolling
150k if i remember
nah 10s are still selling for ok numbers
Like even 7s are 100k in NA
But there are like no listings
what a joke
100k cuts I mean
Delve boosts? wtf lool
should brann have a tank mode
I have a clicker friend (old lady) that I boost in M+'s for free
is the real question
She'd probably buy one
like for a solo player mostly but whomever wants to use it,
Yo btw are u guys getting invited to pug +12s?
yeah at 620 and 2630 score I do but have to apply to like 10
Had no problem til I finished all 11s
get more IO and gear is always the story
But I also play like very late for EU time so I think they're desperate
Problem is im 2.7k all 11s timed
625
Like I start playing at 3 AM eu time
On some weekdays there would be like 3-4 12 keys sometimes on LFG
Live in europe and play NA
anyone crafted this and can say if it is good or not?
could be intrusive, but you could ask groups why they said no
worst they can do is call you stupid and block you
Idk my guess is they want someone who’s timed a 12 alrdy
Just gotta get that first one lol
they might have a reason thats not a you reason
Ik some magic cleaves go for VDH
I just wanted to see if its a warrior prob
they want paladin for the dispel some crap
In general
But all tanks are prot warr or gdruid so
have to ask and find out, thats life
I guess couple seasons where prot warrs are good in a row, and alot rerolled
We need a shit season again xD I think SL wehad one
i havent had the "bad route" or whatever similiar guy in keys yet,
I did get the we timed it but tank is bad anyways ret
no flaming ragers yet
rets 
I mean I get it tho, cuz even if u pop an 11 que you see people with 2.8k+ signing up
he aoe bursted a pack of 5+ mobs right after i charged >aggro >ded >mad ret
Might have to run my own key for once, I literally never do that lol
like bro
It's insane because he can simply bubble
xD
Or even better, wait 2 seconds
or you could start with single target on the caster?
I had a boomie pop 10M with BL at the first 3 packs in Stonevault
and I didnt loose aggro because he waited until positioning
ah well though, ret paladins arent all bad
they have their hearts in the right place mostly
when i picture stun ability, i think hammer of justice
every fuckin time
Lmao I had a healer in SV run ahead of me
its such a great stun ability
And got smacked by the group that I taunted in
sv is.. uhh... fun...?
Reflecting shadow claws is the only fun thing about SV
im not doin 11 12 keys like you are, but i've seen it enough times
i can imagine its fun on 11 12 key
Are u guys taking 3 or 4 packs on SV 11+?
3
4 packs is only like if you are doing a key that grants KSM cuz thats like 7 or 8 lvl now
with a decent ish group
like pug wise
its too many mobs
We run with a hpriest (for now) so pulling two of the stone giants is too much
that or like 15s cuz it would be same, you would almost have to to save time
i wonder if we see any timed 15s MDI
Prolly
Arent they gonna have 630+ ilvl?
would be nice to see all of them maybe minus 1 on time
Also are u guys double pulling after 1st boss SV?
Has anyone managed to kill Zekvir ?? at a higher ilvl like 620ish? I'm giga struggling lmfao
yer its easy
Feels like it scales, I've been watching vids of people just smashing the eggs while mine live forever.
Did u do it as prot Jakey? before the SR nerf
Meaning like the packs from both wings that are in 1st boss room
at 611
WELCOME back to this week in M+. I've seen a lot of discourse on the competitive wow and wow reddit talking about difficulty in M+. It's been pretty unfortuante to see so many people strugglign in keys thusfar this season.
If you made it this far:
Pls watch my stream: https://www.twitch.tv/tettles
Pls join my discord: https://discord.gg/EvvTfX...
this ones on topic actually
looks like someone did it
colossus for me but ppl have done is as thane
@muted arch Thane
Yeah same, heard some people trying colossus
Why is he surprised the comp is augless tho
dragon just feels like another utility class
but it can swap between im a buffer or im a dpser
so dragons do dragon things i guess? they should know if they are wanted to do the buffs or the dps, and change accordingly i mean
I do it for lower keys
Pumped like 1M overall in grim batol 9
Tanked a couple 8s last night, felt good. 587 ilvl

So every 3 ilvls gives like
-4% stamina on the item
We'll be phatt asf at 639
And that's multiplicative
Also how are u guys doing dps wise on high keys as thane (11+)
900k-1mil depending on dungeon on average
Ahh the wedding ring
Damn daniel
Do you have like a details screen shot of your damage profile?
I do like 750k max
Like what fraction of dmg from each spell
Like are yall in battle stance all dungeon to be pumping 1m overall lmao
I know I could pump if I started hammering out revenge but been prioritizing surviving just to make sure I time for io lol
You can pump crazy dmg if you just prioritize revenge/thunder clap
But you lose tons of mitigation
shield slam does more damage than revenge and generates rage
then u only make sure u dont send a SS with 2 stacks of TB
TC
the only time u prio revenge is as colossus and that prioing dumping rage into it over IP not prioing it over SS or TC
Got it
No rage starve problems from me, just need any other skill use
LS or IV
will deal with most of it
then healer can just drip feed the rest
Yeah I usually just save IF for it unless its a crazy pack
prevent, no
colossus seems fun to play in keys but i cant commit to it yet on the harder ones
reactionary, yes
its more like you prepare for the affix we have had all week, and when it goes out you deal with it
no
Yes
impending victory
Always easy to keep IP up if you're raiding
So should we only use ignore pain in situations with lots of physical damage and against magic damage? I’m planning on running colossus and am wondering how much I should be prioritizing ignore pain with the large boost to revenge damage in the talent tree?
Mainly talking about mythic plus
nah just fkn spam it
Fk me some multi-pack pulls I get 1.5M dps sustained on me
But so much rage so
I giga spam ignore pain
you dont track IP or care about its uptime
u have more than enough rage to just spam it
if it gets eaten
it gets eaten
if not
at least its AM cycling
If not honestly it is what it is, it will get eaten at high keys
no its not always up
Is shield crafting a lot better than 1 hand?
espeically if u play colossus
So if ignore pain is not up I should always use it over revenge even when playing colossus? I’m mainly talking about once threat is already achieved.
Ahh yeah
you dont track it you dont care about it being up
I prefer collosus but the thunder tree is pretty meta
I do track how much IP I have relative to it's cap, but it's rarely information that informs a decision I make, just a small bar ontop of my hp bar that functions as a finger in the wind for incoming damage.
if your rage greater than 80 rage yes > press IP
if your rage is greater than 40 and u have SB up and u dont need to refresh it > press IP
you should dump rage into IP even if you have one up already as far as I know
literally just revenge for sudden aggro when clap is on cd or to fish for SS procs? for Thane that is
I can't help but have that song playing in my head while playing prot.
"I can make your hands clap...."
Lol
Sweet, appreciate the answers. Does the talent that provides potential rage from ticks from your bleed damage provide a noticeable amount of rage? I read on the icy veins guide that is not worth taking as it provides very little. However in the mythic plus talent tree for colossus they pick it.
revenge also applies deep wounds aoe
But the free procs should keep that up
I think if you’re in an aoe situation prioritizing revenge over SS does way more dmg, and just using enough SS’s to make sure you have the rage to sustain that
From pure damage perspective
Yeah the 1.9-2.3m Crits of shield slam are nuts. I wonder if other classes do that high
Hah true
So what I’m hearing is revenge is basically shit once you have out deep wounds
yer kinda
It serves a purpose, but it isn't meant to be a button that feels huge to press or anything.
i feel like i mistakenly hit it way more than i should just fishing for procs
sometimes i just stand there with TC and SS down for 3s
Which is exactly when you shoudl be using it.
You mean cuz you’ll get avatar back sooner?
yes
yeah i just find in higher keys it can dump too much rage then im constantly low. it doesnt happen often
I kinda wanna test
if both are on cd and u have extra rage that is fine but that is bottom of the prio list
just on those longer packs
I dont play like this
But if you alternate big pull small pull I’d wonder if the extra aoe dmg on big pull is worth having avatar up sooner
When would you press revenge? Are you suggesting not to press it at all?
use it when you can't use anything else and have rage to spare
do you know the concil trinket sould be use on cd or as a def cd ?
depends if you’re colossus or thane, thane uses it basically as rage filler, colossus leans more towards rage dump
Anytime you like just like avatar
Does some damage
