Pug DPS barely get a cd out I'm not babysitting them
i have fixed things i ping everytime on a lot of bosses, has really improved pugging
It's a +8-+11 know at least the FUCKING basics
If you wipe in pug on something a ping would have prevented it’s 100% on you
Nah
as a tank, kind of yes
people expect you to lead
Yes
This
and groups perform better the more things are called
world first raiders have a person who is literally jsut there to call every single thing, even though it is the same all the time
Your GS is 20 I lvl above what you need
allow people to tunnel and to get
Exactly world first
audio queues
Not m0
It’s not especially you leading, if you have a button you can press to prevent something bad happening, not pressing it is a mistake
You cant
That's not how pings work
Also world first myth guilds don't make the tank ping before he pulls the boss 3m to the side
on any level, providing clear visual and audio queues to your group will help them to focus and remember.
M+ packs and bosses have like 1-2 mechanics
Yes but doesn't help me play better
I literally tell my group "tell me what to pull cuz I have no clue how much we need for count"
Xd
I ain't leading shit, I'm just tanking shit
they kind of do, instead of the ping sound they have someone calling it
thats totally fine, but the reason you do that is to make clear that you dont want to lead
which is expected from the tank by default
i mean sure. if you have found a mindset which makes you happy about that, more power to you
Uh huh look at the adults "I'm responsible for everything if my DPS just dies it's my fault" so good mindset
Post some logs let's seer
I mean in pugs I will lead cuz I don't trust them to know how even spell their own name
But in pre-made I sure as shit ain't leading, im lazy like that
^
i dont think it will make you rage less about your pugs though. they will not change, you wont change. everyone can be angry.
we are takling pugs. premade in voice, you find your system and stick to it. depends on your friends and social dynamics if there is any leading at all^^
Yo that's a nice myth helmet
Yep
trin vs myth track set pieces (still have a chance for it from weekly HC chest event and didint clear raid this reset) , opinions ?
I just wanna see your dmg And if you run with 4x 3k guys or actually pugging 
I have that thing since week1 and didn't use even once
kk , thanks for the help. Was checking some logs and m+ setups but havnt seen that trin verty often , will get it from the raid eventually anyways
then add that to the list of things you can be angry about^^ i will not start an argument about some abstract authority levels. all i am saying is, if you want to be happier pugging, invest more mental resources into leading pugs to help them. if you want to keep raging about them dying, then keep doing that, its your sub, i dont blame you for it. do what is fun for you.
mandate is just too nice
also i had champion trinket f that shit
replace sacbrood ye?
Or do 40 ara Kara 7s

Not sure what's my sub 🤷♂️
But yeah I disagree on a meta level, if you go pugging have your buff food, flask, Mana Stone.
Know the dungeon and what you have to do.
And then just play
I don't have to give you that stuff because I'm the tank, and I don't have to hold your hand (of 4 RNG people) just because I wanna run a dungeon
You either know your shit or you dont
Nothing of that is on me
your sub = your subscription, you pay money to play the game, it is your choice how to do it and you dont need to justify it for anyone else.
thoughts on the trinket Throngus's Finger? if its not listed on wowhead i assume its swamp?
that is totally legit.
bad
Arguing that nobody should take lead of group? Lol wtf
I prefer to give me the best chance of having a good time in pugs
I think a lot of people dont have the mental bandwidth to make calls and play their class.
Yes I dont
But it really helps for someone to be pinging or vocal
(Im grateful pugs ping the good image on second boss of mist lol)
As someone that’s new to retail, I definitely don’t. This game is hard. Pushing 12+ dungeons, and I can’t manage it all, but I’m trying. Love it when someone else in the pug actually knows wtf to do
It's like a 15% debuff to care for the whole group, I don't care about those people.
Why sacrifice my logs for those losers and hen imagine they EXPECT it LoL just to blame you and leave after they wipe
Wait
People get really angry when someone has a bad run. Maybe it’s just me, but I do find this game hard (that’s why I play) and sometimes you’re just not on your a game
Do you actually care about dungeon logs ?
Guys i have crafted shield 636 and vault gave me a 623 upgradeable to 639, or i could take a chest 623 upgradeable to 639 (i have 610 chest). Which one do i take? my concern is if those 3 ilvl shield will be more powerfull
It will be
can you craft a 636 and then catalsis it into a tier piece?
stats of hield are haste versa crafted vs haste mastery vault
Id take the myth chest
Not about stats ilvl more important, you can get the shield now up it and know u got the best or you go for chest and you have a better solution for right now
How do we feel about one vers embellishment then the weapon embellishment?
That was 1 is still working when below 80%
nop
dang
Post your logs if you don't care 💅
when do we use the mandate trinket
rash cloak or sac, what has more value for m+?
offensively, defensively.?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/dalaran/happywar?zone=39#metric=dps
i don’t take logs since I don’t care
i think sac is the way to go tbh
Sac is bis trinket
i feel the same. sac might stay until the end of the season while the cloak might be changed for a mythic track one
yeah thats my logic too. i dont think yo ucan go wrogn with sac
so ballsac+mandate is bis?
probably depends on the content but i think theyre definitely both amazing trinks
noober
my number bigger
if youre pretty good with mandate killing stuff in m+ i could see it being a good damage increase
Oh you talk about my fury mm lol
so im better
Def way better then mine
so how you 5x find 62x people to run 10er lol.
I never played fury before I saw the first boss mm
I don't think you have to tell them anything to blow through that
join me
Is there an addon that prevent ppl on my ignore list to join my keys?
is there any haste breakpoint to pick up into the fray?
+40%
You can haste flask (insert streamer name use haste flask)
I have this global ignore addon it tells you when ignored people join group
I'd have to check at home the name if you for it in about 3 hours
that's the one. thanks, kenny
Maybe I’m joining you on ovinax I don’t know if 3 m is good starting first set of p2
Is that the name ? I don't know 
Otherwise I have to check later 
I was in pug this priest joined I got the message "priest is on your ignore list" I post in group "oh priest is on my ignore that's not a good sign" you have been kicked from the party

hahahaha
so i need 40% haste base before into the fray
that seems a lot, is that even a goal to strive too?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/lightninghoof/kelzor
My logs are terrible. It feels like I'm not getting good proc rates for mountain thane, and I'm probably using way too much revenge because it's a bad habit from Classic. Anything about these obviously wrong?
Unfortunate that an addon is needed. This whole time I thought ignoring people automatically made it so you couldn't see each other's group listing etc
I have an addon to have a note on people personally
Too much rage waste and that you should log yourself most your dungeons don't have logs.
Or you meant raids then I don't know 
meow . sweet reset
I Will be last prio for the neck in guild raid 
Fury's don't get healed 
More it’s shit stats for fury
How does this make any sense:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hGa4CbwPEngotUCeq6fiDS
Larynx at 639 is still an 8K DPS loss compared to keeping my two Champion trinkets (which suck by the way)
AoE or ST?
Aoe it looks like
had a similar situation above
AoE, 5 targets, 1 min fight, all buffs except BL
Larynx can also highroll which makes it go brrr hard
Just go into fray
But muhh SB uptime 😦 mfs are weak
It gives u uptime anyway
Also consider if that 8% haste results with 8% more SS casts
You get 8% more SS rage
Whereas 2 / 19 is about 10.5%
Idk if thats right interpretation
But you get 8% more TC rage as well
Yeah it does. 21K DPS increase on ST. Thanks 🙂
you guys rockin with the sikran's endless arsenal trinket? how does it fare compare to the rashan trinket for m+?
Is mountain thane less dps than collossus? None of the top parsing prot warriors are mountain thane based on these logs with no thunder blast.
seems like it does no damage over the course of a run unless you spam that button on CD, even then its pitiful
according to sims thane is ahead after the recent changes
Giga doubt that's the case for AoE
Does anyone know if [Throngus's Finger] is good or crap xD cant find anything about it so i guess crap?
Because Thane ain't doing 1M revenge crit spams
And I act sim and play more overall as Colossus
saomething weird with colossus sims? my char i simming +15k more dps patchwerk os MT
Altho I play Thane for serious keys, the additional survival is far above my rage starved BT colossus build
nope
Obvious yes but less tanky
in m+ after the changes they are still about the same
in ST thane should now be more
🤔 but collos was buffed too no?
colossal might should buff execute damage
Was playing thane recently
or even shield slam
npc robot players in normal dungeon lol
sitting at the mine cart
trying to get the trinket for quest for moun almost gunna give up
Can you get the healer trinket as warri?
if its wue yer
Uwu?
what healer trinket
no
i ran that for 3 hous last night
Welp do another 3
after i saw the comments and 5% drop rate i turned on the clown music

knew i was in for an experience
Mountfarming ain't for the working class
It’s also SV lmao…dying on Machinists bc people are eating crayons is an experience
@strong forum the wowhead guide is inconsistent regarding flasks i think (Consumables section vs Hero Talents section)
if im like 623 as fury how much are my stats gunna f me over as prot when doing keys over a 10?
you dont even know how bad it really is
They dont
not at all
I lvl is king
oke so having barley any vers is fine?
Everything else is worthless
yes
Vers is for nerds u need haste
haste is best to survive, but you will be fine with that ilvl anyways
so might switch to prot for m+ whiles its good
Enjoy the wiping twice as fast
i just get OCD with min maxing thats all
get good at the gameplay, you will manage
what u mean haha
is there any detailed Infos/summary on trinkets for prot beside the ones on WH and IV?
Pugging is cancer and everybody blames you 
Others expect you to do everything for the others because you're tank and that's normal
When wipe always your fault
Even fury's come in here and demand that
yeah i probs should do more keys with guild but sometimes i dont have that option thats all
Same
pugging is so aids
I like necrotic and cot
ive sat ina group finder today and yday for over 30-40 mins
The rest is history
and i just cant play the game
That also sucks
Need matchmaking que
but i cant even get a dungeon for a 9 mists
A guy posted on Reddit, great odea
a group that is
Like dungeonfinder but for m+
yeah probs idk theres negatives and positives to both
Well can't get much worse
Take the mmo out of the mmo!?!
we just have to much info on people
i think is the main issues
people will see of theyve only done a 7 mists
no way they can do a 9 mists
Push up your own key and be selective about who you invite
yeah your late to the covo its cos im a fury main and cant get groups so switchng to prot in m+
wouldnt want it any other way, had way too many encounters with (mostly) dps who just ignore everything on the floor, frontals, what not, and to be fair, dont have time to waste on them
The problem with solo queue m+ is queue times outside of the first 2 weeks of a tier are gonna be gargantuan
^
that too
they just need to remove some of the information
have a rio score
but i guess websites would just track it anyway
you cant win
You need to use the info yourself or it’s a bad time
Be part of the problem!
idk maybe they should show general % of avoided damage, interrupts taken, stuff like that - maybe it enhances people to perform well on these subjects. rio doesnt say it all - you could have been carried, you got the score, now all of a sudden youre good? nah
score is somehow holy
because it infers info, but its not guaranteed
Have you listed your own key recently or do you mostly pug into groups
No healer signs up?
nah
True. maybe I'm just lazy but I also don't want to parse through all of that info per applicant tbh
same
i did as best as i could for princess. no way am i beating the 100s lmao
How often were you pressing ignore pain on that pull? I'm brand new to prot and it feels like unless I'm overgeared enough to not need the defensive rage spending I do 0 dam
Do you have globals to spend on dumping more rage into damage?
Probably has a pumper group too
Hi, do we use Swarm trinket on cd or there's moments to hold it ?
Faster the fight higher the overall..
Question for first boss of dawn breaker do you guys use reflect on shadow bolt or when she does the lines? Is it worth to save for lines rather than reflecting shadow bolt?
for the lines it is just another defensive right?
Yeah but I feel like our defensive are a bit too long for when the next lines come up or we just get smacked if no defensive is up
I'm not sure exactly what you mean but I think the answer is no? I press ignore pain when I'm not going over the 2.5m limit or when it's about to expire.
For Mountain Thane, you want to dump rage above like 70 into IP always, no matter if it is capped or not
But we should have enough defensives with Shield Wall, Spell Block, Last Stand, Demo Shout
doo we looot vault as fury or prot
Oh shit okay, tyty
always goood too get queen hc ring out oof vault 🙂
Anger Management, Indomitable and Violent Outburst make it so we just want to spend as much rage as possible
I mean shield block is 3.5 and spell block is 1.5 with last stand 3 mins, not sure if smart to pop all 3 big cds for it lol
I've done a 13 dawn where I live with just a full ignore pain
Usually you have demo shout for it too which is good enough
Shield Wall as well and that has a very low effective cooldown
The 11 to 12 jump is crazy, when you have all 11's timed and some of them 2 chest and you dont get invited, its like wall you gotta break till you do 1-2 12's, just me or anyone else hit this wall ?
going from 11 to 12 while 10 ilevel undergeared and not playing tank is a nightmare
Just gotta list your own key if you're below the curve
im 625 2.744 io and i dont get a single inv in 12's. with 4 11's 2 chested
its crazy
Not very good in ST, the proc damage is pretty weak
Just checked my log on m+ its around 30-40% uptime
so its very low
not worth
(tryed with a lower one)
Is there a spreadsheet for abilities that should be intervened?
beste race rn for m+? or where can i find info for the differnces and how big tthey are?
Dwarf
anyone else have the issue in siege with the 3rd boss teleporting you to him during the waves intermission?
Tanks, dwarf. DPS, nelf as usual. Melding mechanics is just too broken.
soon Dracthyr xD
Yeah for dps nelf is big
Ass tank can be good for the lulz aswell
so dumb
Despawning Boss is much worse
i also hate how they overlap those fucking mechanics
like wh yd othey do tidal surge with the aoe at the same time
i feel like these devs do not think about any of this
like theres no reason for that aoe splash to overlap with the tidal mechanic
Skill issue. Be aware of where you're pointing so your group still has room during the overlap
Least terrible boss in that dungeon tbh. It's kinda good even.
how much haste do you need to make into the fray work?
I always use it
I just started to play tank for the first time and went with prot warrior cus they are sick af. My vault is not super nice so just wonder. Is this trinket good? Found nothing on wowhead so dont know what to look for 
do you have 100% uptime? in combat
Just run HR. If you run ITF you will drop shield block like a bad.
no
Aight
Uptime of what ? SB? Nah more like 90-95
can i put dawnthread lining on a shield ?
So for this weekly Heroic Cache, do you risk opening as prot for trinkets? (M+ only enjoyer) w/ crafted shield
does cache give myth track items?
Hey for Queen Ans.... Liquify/feast only happens 3 times, is that it?
i know playing off trinkets is usually the way to go , but i look for best defensive trinkets for me. is Silken Chain Weaver the only deff trinket from m+?
I mean it'll be heroic gear only so if you're not looking for a shield (because you have crafted) or a 1h, open as arms? There's always a chance you'll loot a spot that sucks for you (arms 2h, prot shield/trinkets) etc etc
you need 10 or greater for myth vault
2/4/8 finished for each slot
sorry its 1/4/8
y y, from the qeust?
Yo, for M+, what is the preferred embellishment? Some resources say Elemental Focusing Lens, while others say Dawn-/Duskthread Lining.
Kenny is saying you get myth track item from the complete 4 dungeons quest
The people recommending Lens don't have confidence in staying above 80%, which isn't the case even in higher keys; you'll still generally stay above 80% even when being hit hard; you'll just spike more sometimes.
The threads are better overall performance wise, since Lens is really only an ST option iirc
Lense does not do a lot of damage, embellishments are generally not very impactful. Go for the threads for some offense and defense.
Silken Chain isn't even from M+ if you mean the attack slow one. That's from delves.
Elemtenal Focusing Lens sims higher as well though
ah. true. are there any other except from raid?
There's Throngus' Finger, but it's not particularly amazing
Hi, I have a question: how important is it to have versatility as a tank this season? I only have 3% at the moment because I almost only have Crit has equip on. Should I change something about it or can I neglect it
Does not matter, secondaries are fluff. Haste is slightly less fluff.
literally just pick one you will not tell the difference embellishments are so low impact and so close to each other, save yourself the trouble and choose one, it doesn't matter. Thread has defensive value, lens has none
bis gear almost completely neglects it, since haste and crit don't hit any caps that make investing into other stats heavily worth it.
That being said, if you fucking hate crit, vers is fine, too
They're almost the same value; crit just averages more damage over time while providing a similar defensive benefit in most scenarios
Oh no you get myth track in vault
there isn't one you need to worry about
also the % is unless because you have talents that give you raw % haste that ignore any DR breakpoints
I have 20539 haste unbuffed and I want more

There is curentky weekly Q , complete 4 mythic dung( any diff) to get random HC item .
oh, the guy was asking about the heroic cache I think? that's why I got confused
cache deez
nuts?
balls
I'm not a very good catcher, though
Which loot spec gives best chance at queen ring?
Just close your eyes and let it flow down
probably arms
Probably arms, but you'd need to see what gives the least overall
I'm pretty positive it's Arms, actually, based on 1Hs and Shields in raid
True
can furry roll 2h?
finally a big boy shield i give up trying to roll for weapons in this game, shoulda just craft both weapons to start with 
Fury is never the call for looking for specific non-1H stuff
Wrong embellished
Delete shield start new
I got a fat box this week 🙂
i mean the vers thread is fine
Which one do I put in? without upgrading it currently
especially if it's cheaper
Threads are all fine
left neck clearly says NOT BIS, so use the other one
You can sim to find what you should rock with your stats
But it's a non-zero chance to be the haste neck
Right one says the same
but it's really a sim angle

@strong forum I'm looking to smooth out my gameplay in +13-14s. What are some of the biggest mistakes you see prot warriors making at the higher level of M+? What separates the good ones from great ones
Do you guys craft both weapons and shield?
U did 
???
M11 and M12
Gem laser
cant tell if im getting bamboozled
Ur not
What is m11 and m12
It comes before 13 and 14
What is gem laser
Duskthread lining is correct
Embellishment
What happens when everything is timed on +12
You already are great
But wowhead guide told me go craft duskthread lining
feedback is based on u alone and how u play we will need logs
You stopped reading too soon
It still say duskthread lining as the #1 option?
What about binding of binding
Surely that's better than a dawn/dusk thread
If you have a partner
Are you trolling? It says, literally right there EXACTLY what to do
I'm not sure its possible for it to be more clear
have you never read a single thing this guy typed before
It's not a ranking
yoda 🐑
And yes says right there
Ah okay
Whats your problem
He mad he put wrong embellished on it
Unlucky
@strong forum please consider adjusting the wowhead guide to have embellishments a bullet list and not a numbered list if this is something people are assuming
why is the reason i dont play as templar ppaladin
something to do with you die
but it was pretty vague
trying other tanks
spare
You give up one of your defensives (Eye of Tyr) to fuel Templar's main gameplay loop
what's my next upgrade here friends? the back, a ring or i craft shield?
cuz, its the shield slam they have is also shield block (im talking out ass slightly) and you cant let that buff drop like shield block
shield
get a big boi shield
Also, I'm not sure how you read 1. Dawn or Duskthread x2 as wrong embel
I literally can't see it
Threads are better than lens since they do more damage the instant a second target is introduced, and there's few fights right now that are pure ST
i strongly dislike having to enchant the weapon once per hour
and having to select other tartgets for the smith one
oh yeah
but i cant be bothered to storm sheidlsd internve
You can default to selecting yourself, and it will automatically give someone else the buff depending on distance and role
It's not optimal, but being optimal also requires you to know who swings the fastest
im getting mixed message about embel 
Threads are bis as long as your play isn't ass
Don't listen to anyone else who says otherwise, as you can sim to see the difference;
Like mentioned above, lens does outperform in pure ST, but pure ST is like, 2 fights this season in raid
since i do mostly M+, i would think threads are better
Threads are way to go , what stats thats on your sim, its kinda w/e as embels do very little tbf
With Sikran and Princess being the fights
thx for the clarifications
Yogi you know this is Skyhold and not Hammer of Wrath right?
Secondary stats are kinda worthless and gem gives around 1.5% DPS so with 2 you got like 3% more.
If you are vers stacking then that's your thing and more vers obviously better but vers stacking is for nerds
Guys, I have 20k haste raw, just tried out the ItF+BSV-build.
I get that I’m losing two stamina-nodes compared to the HR-build I’m normally playing, but I just feel soooooo squishy.
Anyone else had that experience? My SB-uptime was good, about 90-95, so don’t think it’s that.
Could it be that the ItF-build goes Fueled by Violence instead of extra ignore pain?
This was in an 11
hi, i have 619 sac and 606 swarmlord trinket, do i take trinket or myth hands ?
The, uh,
what build?
to grab ITF and BSV, you shouldn't be losing any stat nodes, no matter how you go about it
Could be a lot of things, uptime doesn’t always mean blocked hits btw
you can literally just play the wowhead talents and swap HR to ITF?
Stam doesn't even make you feel tankier, either
Also that
How are secondary stats worthless ? Last time i checked ive had haste realy close to str , which is our main stat.
Also stacking vers meme aside , it may vary, my vers sims higher than my crit for example, and both crit and vers outsims gem on MT
You can directly ask Nome or sim yourself to see
it is worth it?
have you tried simming it?
sim say gems are slightly ahead on ST, but in AoE (which i do M+ for the most part), dusk pull quite a bit ahead
but not sure how to factor in dusk uptime
single target is only what counts
mega cap
I’m assuming it’s a bit of hyperbole, people tend to worry way too much about secondary stats
dusk also has defensive value
vers nerds 
which the lense does not
Especially considering how little Lens is ahead
bro there's a fucking crit thread
Your "lmao nerds" comment is pathetic with that in mind.
nobody uses the crit
sorry is this crit?
Yea worring too much about them and calling them useles are 2 completly different things also his takes are kinda .. well
just curious why only ST matters?
yes doent matter which one you take, but gem laser still ahead
it is worth it guys? I have to forfeit 5% haste for it..
because in aoe its the dps job to do dmg, you count in the bossfights
U already have it crafted right ? Go do a dungeon , u can check uptime after .
Also u said u do m+ mostly , ask yourself , how much % of your regular m+ is pure ST?
It's mega bis
when do you want to go into the fray instead of heavy repercussions?
Sim it ape
depends on your play style what you prefer
With proper play, you actually very rarely drop below 80%; it's a bigger threshold than you think, especially with Prot War's toolkit
its BiS for DPS, your call if you want to lose the haste from a surv standpoint for it
Brother when I finish an aoe pack at 2m dps I don’t think my damage in aoe “doesn’t matter”
it doesnt matter on the timer youre not going to be nr.1 in dps when that happens and if you do your team sucks
so there is no breakpoint for haste where into the fray performs better?
You also have trickle healing that should always be coming in from your own leech, indom, and healer hots like Healing Rain/Regrowth/Rejuv/Mists/etc
You’re not going to be number one on bosses either????
well yes around 30% haste is into the fray better because of soft caps, but if you play better with more haste you play better with into the fray at lower haste
That answer is stupid
how
Hmm interesting so you say our aoe dps doesnt really matter? Just let DPS handle aoe?
And of course it matters on the timer
Because the same logic applies to single target
no it doesnt
Yes it does
“It doesn’t matter on the timer” “you’re not going to finish nr.1”
Ngl im kinda sad for people that take your advices seriously
Literally same could be said on single target
and how much are you above 80% hp when you do a pull bug enough to do 2m dps
I’m not dying so who cares
you need to be above 80 for the vers lmao
My health is always a yo-yo tho because brewmaster
then what are you on about
That your statement is silly
which one
SMH I’m not repeating myself again
All of them xd
Let’s all reroll brewmaster
yeah lets go brewmaster so the 80% vers buff never applies but makes us feel better about our self
because big numbers in aoe
based
So vers is bad now?
nah its just not good
go have griff explain you how his vers only build is the best
lmao
Bro using some silly buff item to justify his shit takes
hes really smart
checked soem random key i did and it had 77% uptime so
Lens is good, dawnthread is good, dusk thread is good, their differences are in the noise of your damage. Just stop with this trolling, pick what you want, stop flaming anyone for not picking what you think is best
but did you do 2m aoe dps ?
Typical furry
It's pretty close to on par with crit; crit just usually outdamages vers. iirc bis setup uses vers threads because it gains value when you gain enough crit, so the rating increase is a larger effective gain for less number

Also, for your question on uptime, this is in a random 13 SV I pulled from Sense's page
Bros you could go full mastery and I don’t think anyone in here would seriously give a shit
so yeah, it has a non-zero amount of uptime
How is it not good ?
I mean you kinda implied it wasn’t good
Hello! What should I get from my vault from these two? I play mainly M+
How important is damage reduction from vers? Is it kinda nice or useless
not as good as the laser gem
Not important
fuck you
but also
hard choice
Pfffffffffffffft, i'd say sim, both are mega bis, but it's probably the ring
you can call it kinda nice, but it is useless in the big scheme
You have to stack a shit ton of vers for a meaningful difference in damage reduction
isn't focusing lens like. literally purely single target
something must be wrong
Since ring will give more damage from the free proc on top of stats
sim it, both are very good, neck is what I would choose regardless because it's not giving up any haste and haste is based 
and what would you need?
Yes; it's also only a slight increase over threads in pure ST
if shield slam didn't also give rage and extend sb... sure
Or if it didnt do a fuckton of dmg ..
why are we acting like you're going to see a meaningful difference in your ST DPS with Lens or AOE dps with threads lmao
kenny........................................ are you actually trolling
Probably
why is everyone still feeding?
Most likely
for like an hour
we don't use execute with a bunch of targets already, that's the analogy lmao
point is its better to have more single target dps in a bossfight for the timer than you need "800" vers as AOE BIG PULL bomber
they tell me thats wrong
and stupid
and trolling
i think its the clearest and most obvious thing there is
Continues to misrepresent anything that was said, yep clearly trolling
The main issue is that there was someone asking legitimate questions, and the entity in question kept trying to effectively shout them out of getting the help they wanted.
and a pul big enough to pump numbers your health will be below 80% and destroy your vers buff
which makes their point so bad
i cant even comprehend
but they love it
so
let them
ima get food
If u are a lot below 80% as pwar then u do something wrong ngl
So play what you want, stop spewing your incorrect rheteric though buddy
does it make sense to craft a ring with the 4th spark instead of a main stat piece so I can get cheaper crest ring upgrades?
how is it incorrect
wow im back
what did i say wrong
rhetorically
I don't think crafts affect your upgrades, but I could be wrong on that. Either way, if your embels are set and you've got a wep/shield on myth track or crafted already, catching up gear with sparks is not a bad idea
that your hp is going to be below 80% regardless of the pull size for any significant amount of time
It should
if you're playing like ass maybe
its a "bug"
one bro posted 77% uptime the other 87% so ID SAY it is a pretty big downtime
you can literally simulate the uptime
you can literally just check your logs
What? 13% is a lot of downtime for you? Xd
This combined with the "bug" comment makes a lot of sense, since you can still roll on low ilvl items if you have a crafted piece, which is what I was basing it on
but maybe youre just ass
Im getting a lot of mixed messages about AoE DPS vs ST DPS 
If only sims didn’t exist and you couldn’t like oh idk see which one would be better in dungeons
Man
Imagine
ya apparently making a 636 ring then recrafting it counts as 2 rings
Yea there is that thing when u craft one ring it counts as both so u can then upgrade your next to 636 without crests, most likely bug, but its in game since start
so im wondering if using a spark on ring makes more sense than a main stat piece like boots/cape/belt
also funny how both people who crafted the vers embellish get so butthurt about getting called out
I craft vers embel 
yeah its no big difference
and if youre below 630 i lvl it doesnt matter anyway
you wont notice any of those
also i meant lommik the vers nerd and griff the i cant math nerd
just as fyi
It's really a shame how long this troll is going unmoderated
I sim and it say in aoe, dusk pulls quite far ahead. I assumed that in M+ single target isnt very important and the dps difference was quite small
tell me something i said wrong
What? Where did i said i crafted it ? All i said was vers isnt as bad as u make it seems , and that it is simming ON ME higher than crit
There's not really much moderation action unless it's really blatantly terrible stuff. Otherwise, it's mostly considered a personal issue
so you can totally ignore evidence and continue your false rheteric? Nah
Am i being trolled with this gem vs dusk 
you are
It may be different in other channels, but I don't leave prot land enough to know
you keep saying false rhetoric without providing evidence, you also keep calling me a troll while you do the trolling by stated behaivour @long bronze
git gut
very sadge pepego
What did i said wrong ?
i dont talk to you
Can we get WoWHead author in here to clarify 
U mentioned me before, so answer to it at least, if u have anything to say
You can feel free to ping Nomeratur if you'd like
i forgot
That's the Wowhead author, by the way, and our main TC
Mwahi's been a bit more silent this season
he sleeping you can DM him too but he will tell you too that it doesnt matter 😄 E;!i bet on it!
i miss seeing mwahi ;-;
there's more aoe than st in keys, and thread sims better there. however at the bleeding edge keys, it's possible that bosses become the real blockers and st damage matters more. idk i don't do them. either way it's really a tiny part of your power so don't stress too much about either one. the end
funny I already said it doesn't matter, you said it doesn't matter but flame anyone who doesn't agree lens is the best answer always
interesting
Yall argue too much about 1% of your overall
So now they doesnt matter instead of "wrong embel" interesting
im the troll here
I only remotely care because there's a player looking for help who's getting shouted out
Ur DPSers will fail you at the end either way
yes in the end nothing matters, gem laser still better
#protection message yep changed my story alright
i came in halfway through when you were saying that aoe dps doesn't matter lmao
But how is it better, explain
more dmg when u need it
how is that so hard to grasp
U always need more dmg
Whoever said that is a wrong
gg
U save more time on pack = u can afford to waste more on boss
And u are not always at ST
Yea and thread is better there
overall on a bossfight?
Just because u do ST in aoe doesnt mean it always wins , u can do execute in packs, u dont do that all the time..
doesnt make any sense of course you make more dmg in aoe
thats why you need to buff your ST
Yes
We dont?
i dont know any, coulndt tell ya if i tried
So if you take 5% dmg to what consists majority of your overall you will go ahead
It's basic arithmetic
so 800 vers is 5% mroe dmg ?
Where tf did 800 vers come in lmfao
Embellishment yapping
if youre below its 0
so how many AOE BIG PUILLS you got where your hp stays above 80
copium
lots according to the sense log we just looked at
88%
thats 23% of the dungeon with 0
thats 12% of the dungeon with 0
and at the times where yo need it the most
yall just mad you crafted it
that was fun i get some food
I'm with you
as opposed to spending the vast majority of the key with multiple targets with just a single target effect
Ah yeah idgaf about thats
Binding of Binding is the real best embellishment
my bad guys i started this
If you have a permanent duo partner
I don't give a fuck about crafting or embellish
gem laser is way less than 3% of your overall in a key
It's all some Minecraft shit
the real comedy here is the guy trolling has one timed 10 and hasn't killed a raid boss
Hi all. Weekly chest mythic track. Should I take chest or weapon? I pretty much only do m+ and want to optimise for end of season rather than right now (clearing 10's ok). Thought weapon but the one I have in the chest is engorged worm smasher (haste verse) so maybe I should hold out for crit/haste. And there are a lot more weapons than chests in the current dungeon pool, so maybe I am more likely to roll weapon again in the future?
In fact I also gem stamina because I also dgaf about gemming
If people are really trolling shouldnt mods do something
yep they should
Still prbbaly better than 99% of the tanks kekw
Myth track weapon way stronger than chest, long season, grab weap, do bigly damage, grats on nice pull
can't really prove it's trolling if it's someone just being annoying
question, is the sheild from black temple with the proc for armor really decent (hero track)
This is generally a key part of a lot of mod decisions; this is just part of the culture of WoW as a whole. They're not here to culture police, they're here to solve actual problems, like blatant bigotry being spread.
No. 😦
Hi everyone! Is 2 set worth rushing for the damage reduction? I'm fresh to playing prot and when i've went for hc i was literally 1shot by Kyveza if i pressed defensive wrong. I have 2 hero offpieces on me and now i have set chest in vault and thinking if i should rush it before doing any raids
not really, no
Shields with proper stats and setups will be better
like the hate you spread on me for being right
you guys should learn to accept being wrong
no, our tier is actually pretty poo poo
it builds character
thanks ❤️ thought i do a rain check on it
the irony is deafening
You'll just need to manage your defensives better for princess; it helps that you always have def stance, plus spell reflect will always be up for each tank buster you need to tank
And thats why you never feed the troll
Okay with how hes speaking
Spell Block also works on the dot left by the tank buster as well, as a heads up
thought the armor proc would be more benefitual for our armor role 😅 but thanks for the answer
Thanks! Will eat and have a think. You're probably right
whyyy are people still feeding
thanks for the backstab butterer wont try to help you again
enjoy your pro gamer friends advice
In fact check my Raider IO and get mad at my gems/enchants/secondary stats pls: https://raider.io/characters/eu/argent-dawn/Bigmuscleman
It's nice, but isn't up often and we have strong active mitigation tools, from SB+IP combo to frequent defensive use
uhhhhhhhhhhh
what trinket from court, i only really know them by name
the scarab? no
This isnt how you debate in a civil manner and you know it
gems are expensive, cant see anything bad
But it is what it is
why do so many people use it then?
I got haste/vers rings CRAFTED lol
wow thats just rhetorically incorrect statement nice try
I'd prefer to not see screenshots of ad hominem attacks, but I do respect calling such fallacious arguments out.
Yall going to be so mad when you see I have a stam gem equipped to get the extra 2% speed

It's a defensive trinket that shows up very well on the meters
Im putting stamina gems on all my slots from now on
Based
Embellishments are too ineffectual to give this much of a shit about. Prio DPS is worth more than aoe pad because it actually makes you progress the dungeon faster (killing smallies faster just to take same time on big mob is irrelevant). Thread gives defensive benefit not just damage. In the end it really doesn't matter. Flip a coin and it will never make or break any key you run.
what do you mean so many people?
mythic sikran for example
Based.
thats just trolling, wow
guys ignore this dude he says the same thing i did
hes trolling
It's a lot harder to tell how much something like silken chain, which reduces the amount you're even hit by 15%, is doing for your survival in comparison
Freaky fast
Oh, well :/ i have nothing fancy in vault so im taking the chest anyways will do normal in case of getting head/hands set piece. Maybe i will get lucky and get from 0 to 4 set
Some say what's another 250 stamina when you have 500k. I say that's 0.05% extra stamina
He likely means in high M+, where tanks can see actual scary damage output, especially if misplays are encountered
5 bps stamina goes hard
Im so close to 30% haste cant wait to switch to ITF
Number go up
Fr
based
Big health = good
I actually have 7k time walking stamina trinket that's 554 ilvl but I only equip it for special occasions
I'm that way with other stats
if i had sockets to socket things with, i ain't dropping 30k for gems
ah yeah its basically just because it's the only defensive option that shows on meters like @pallid quiver said
chainweaver is better from a pure defensive standpoint (by a lot) but its harder to get on a decent track and it's invisible on meters basically
do you have the stam trinkets 😉
I did Ulduar, didn't drop
So I got 554 time walking Stam trinkets
I don't equip tho
I also like ilvl to go up

At Mythic 10 City of Threads last boss I just take the hit
I ain't playing that root game
in 10 cot you can do that in battle stance i imagine lol
Tbh on that last boss I just reflect damage and instantly pop the roots for my team with my aoe
Aligns perfectly if you time it right
Wait I’m fury this is Prot chat

its kinda the same though
Lmao
He does some druid shit to live anyway
In Grim Batol 11 I spammed execute on our retri who got mind controlled
If you get hit by that I am not letting that slide
Ah mb I confuse those constsntly
last boss city of threads has a root too so took me a min
The one that succ u in and explode
What other mechanics are important to intervene on aside from NW first boss retch, and fixate mechanics?
I can't spell apparently
you can intervene bolts that aren't gonna get kicked if you're playing storm shield
Can also use it every now and then when someone has a magic dot on them
Wait like spirit bolt in Mists 1st boss?
I personally think storm bolts is the better talent until you get to higher keys unless you're actually intervening people regularly
is there a good haste level where swapping to into the fray feels nice?
depends on what you mean by nice
I dont know, i havent tried it yet, i just get worried those small moments where shield block isn't up i will get trucked
ITF requires you to be a bit more active, and you will have some SB downtime regardless especially if you have a ranged heavy comp on single target
you do have other cds for those moments
Agree
I play ITF and I have 20k haste unbuffed
Yea i'm at 15k
Storm shield is only 500k magic shield
500k your healer doesnt have to heal or could save someone
It should be buffed
500k is pretty piss
I still prefer it over sb talent
But 8% shield is funny
you lose nothing by trying it out and seeing how it feels
general rotational play, not using SR or SW often enough
Yea I guess i can give it a whirl
giving someone free magic absorb every 30seconds is quite sick if you ask me
500k is 10% of a DPS hp. A 10% external on a 30s cooldown is not bad, and there's a fuck ton of use cases in these dungeons
pls settle this gems vs dusk debate for M+, it was a huge topic earlier

somebody was trolling, there's really not much to settle
generally dusk/dawn for m+
elemental lense for raid
yeah thats what i saw
also its embellishs
theyre all piss weak this expansion
i dont have a single one as prot cuz mine are for arms raiding xd
i get em without embellishs dont you worry
naturally
Just an example, in dawnbreaker. Pre-first boss there's a magic damage channel. 1st boss has a magic dot when you dispel. After 1st boss trash has multiple magic damage channels. 2nd boss has a magic damage channel. Miniboss before last boss has a magic damage channel. Last boss has a magic damage dot.
Literally every phase of the dungeon has something you can use it on to prevent deaths.

and its literally free!
whereas triple stormbolt can fuck over others
- increased cooldown
unless you intervene somebody and get hit in the ass
GCD, but Yea other than that

thats a skilliossue
its offgcd
just wait 'til S2, where they overtune the hell out of a new introduced embel
it always is 
only to nerf it right before M raid release
Oh mb

Hey all, does anyone know the place to go to m+ teams that are recruiting? Alot of what's on raiderio is outdated
Find*
so what would be the 2 trinket we use in m+? raid is something like ara and sikran trinket?
court trinket ehhh
well on murlok its the second most used for m+
Maybe it has actual value in really high keys but certainly not for general keys
how did u know which mechanics to intervene? just experiences?
