I did try a 12 SV and it wasn't ever scary for me, even the bigger pulls

Only the stacking debuff pulls can be a bit scary, but just need to have wall and kite a bit at end.

SV is chill until the last pack, where you just have to pray your dps kill totems T_T

Also the shadow claw pumps and you can't reflect every one. But that's just basic "rotate your CDs to live" stuff

The most notable defensive trinket is the silken chain from delves, since it slows attack speed by 15%

so it's pretty much a scaling DR based on how hard things are swinging at you

Does rallying cry work if not at max hp? For example does it heal someone for 10% who is low on health?

deft mortar
#

Nome woke up

#

Nome wake up, Nome answer questions for 16 hours, Nome go sleep

deft mortar
#

I think

#

It works more like a % dmg reduction maybe?

cobalt wagon
#

So there’s no value in clicking it if someone is already at 30% hp and about to take another tick of damage ?

deft mortar
#

1M hp becomes 1.1M HP. If something hits you for 110k, your health is at 90%. Rally expires. Your health is still 90%, but falls to 900k from 990k

#

But if it hit you 110k at 1M hp without rally, you'd end up with 890k hp

#

Is my understanding at least(this is probably wrong)

winged slate
#

You gain HP underneath of yours, when it drops, you lose it off the top

long bronze
cobalt wagon
#

What happens when someone uses rally while you aren’t topped off though? Like if you have 1m hp and you’re at 30% and someone clicks rallying cry will your hp go from 300k to 330k?

winged slate
#

So if a player had 3m remaining health out of 6m health, you could use rallying cry to put them up to 3.6m health

cobalt wagon
#

Ok ty

cobalt wagon
#

So it is basically a temporary heal

winged slate
#

It's stronger, because when it falls you don't lose the hp

long bronze
#

rally would be basically unless otherwise

winged slate
#

After rally drops, they would stay at 3.6m/6m

deft mortar
#

Ohh

#

Wtf that's exactly the same as last stand

tropic tangle
#

yeah, it's group Last Stand for 10%

deft mortar
#

Should have heal wording that last stand does as well then imo

tropic tangle
#

would be extremely ass if you could die from Rally fading

some other utility like mass reflect also welcomed.. maybe?

#

LMAOO MASS REFLECT

pallid quiver
#

I come back and look at this just to see a man speak the truth

winged slate
#

If the temporary health was taken underneath when rally fell off, then rally could kill people

pallid quiver
#

I think we should have full reflect like from legion, and also mass reflect it

deft mortar
#

Mass reflect in pvp would go extremely hard

pallid quiver
#

pop spell reflect, your entire RBG team is almost immune to spells for 5 seconds

cobalt wagon
#

It seems like one of the stronger group externals for m+ is that not the case? I feel like it would out value amz/mass barrier

to actually answer your question on indom healing diff: you took way less damage. 541k dtps vs 712k dtps. you were overhealing twice as much because of your superior mitigation (17% vs 37%). if you include overhealing, the indom healing diff shrinks a lot down to 88k vs 80k compared to 73k vs 54k. beyond that, a bit of a stam diff could make up the rest.

You can only very loosely get feedback as to what you're doing from details breakdowns, so a log would enable us to properly help you work on what your damage is.

This is due to the fact that damage breakdowns are heavily skewed by dungeon, pull sizes, gear, and rotation/optimzation, and it's difficult to tell what needs to improve in order to get higher damage numbers without the extra context that details does not provide

turbid shuttle
long bronze
#

the "this hurts more than I remember" and checks buff uptime at end of dungeon and see 75% battlestance feel

pallid quiver
#

So, first immediate thing is that you're not catching as many SS resets as... you...

#

did you ever press revenge?

long bronze
#

hah

pallid quiver
#

alright, back to the start

final radish
long bronze
#

that'll do it

final radish
#

not for this season

pallid quiver
#

So your base rotation is SS > TC > Revenge; you should always have rage to press revenge, as it'll reset SS

#

So you get more rage to funnel

long bronze
#

you get a free revenge at the very least from champion's bulwark

pallid quiver
#

You pressed a solid literal 0 revenges, which speaks to the ability of the Thane tree that you still got 14.1 CPM on SS

#

This is also not helping you leverage your rage, which is why you wasted 1842 rage throughout that dungeon, which is the equivalent of 18 and a half full rage bars

#

You're probably sitting on globals as a result, when Prot War should never have a single unfilled global

sharp steppe
pallid quiver
#

To give an idea, from AM alone, you wasted 184 seconds of CDR on both Avatar and Shield Wall

#

So actually 3 minutes worth of CDR, gone

#

And that's before counting the extra rage you would have generated

long bronze
#

and two procs of BSV which did not do anything to save you so you also lost all potential ravager + rage gen from that

pallid quiver
#

You should also swap to Imp Wall over Defender's Aegis, as that gives you more rage, that scales with Outburst, and you get more DR as a result due to the lower CD. Defender's Aegis is the pick if you have no need for Shield Wall outside of very specific moments of extended periods of high damage that you would need two back to back shield walls for

#

Since the only time that happens is when there's blockable spells around, you just press Spell Block instead

#

You also sent almost a third of your outbursts on Thunder Clap, which costs you a lot of damage outside of anything except major AOE

sharp steppe
#

Thought I had a perfect one in my first +12, then I noticed that Ravager trolled me sadgers

pallid quiver
#

You want to try and funnel as many as possible into SS or Thunder Blast; especially into SS on ST

Mad queen vs hold still egg man trinket for m+?

Technically you can even IP after tc/ss and not overcap. It takes a split second for the ability to go off and your IP will happen first. I just built a habit of "if rage high when press builder, press IP also" and rarely overcap

# south zealot yes

My guess would be because it messes with SC's funny implementation where it acts differently at range than in melee, where it can be used oGCD

edgy bone

Dude heavy repurcussions seems like such a huge DPS loss compared to ITF

~6-7% from my sims

edgy bone

Like MASSIVE, how could it not be

#

Yeah bro holy hell

long bronze
#

but it does free up brain a bit

pallid quiver
#

That's also optimally with all stacks at all times, so if there's melee on bosses, the benefit goes down even more. It's not like HR doesn't provide DPS benefit, either, since it gives you extra rage

As mountain thane

I bet HR on Colossus feels great

I have a question for yall I am not sure if I am doing somthing wrong but I am 620 and even when spamming ignore pain and having shield block up I can seem to tank 10s I am not sure where to look to improve but I just can’t seem to complete a key

not much you can personally do about a DPS pulling extra packs on top of the group

glass pine
#

@little lance If it makes you feel better I just swapped to prot for the first time and did a 2, topped the meters and barely timed it. 🙂

tropic tangle
#

I mean, obviously position the pull with other packs in mind, but if they're just gonna send Frostwyrm into a pack you haven't pulled there isn't much counterplay.

#

You can try to corral it, hope you have enough CDs to roll through enough to get it under control / hope DPS can kill the first pack off

intentional and coordinated kicks and stops are very impactful to your damage intake as a tank, keep that in mind

yea in this key it is hella low

not super sure why

frosty mango

If you are 620 and falling over then 99% of the time you’re not keeping shield block up

does this only count in combat

With heavy repercussions you should easily be 97+ and it should always be up when entering combat

Hi everyone, I'm just now starting to learn prot after years of only playing fury, are there any "training-wheels" type macros I can use to help with defensive uptimes? stuff that may not be 100% optimized, but helps simplifying the rotation/reduce keybinds (considering it's my first time playing a tank at all)

frosty mango
#

But it WILL work

autumn cosmos
#

lowkey think thats a horrible suggestion

south zealot

no reason to create bad habits when learning

nobody should ever go down that path

I said don’t do it

But it fulfills his ask

I guess is said to opposite styles of talents but i guess do u take battle scarred vet, heavy repercussions or fight through the flames?

u can take fight through the flames but if youre playing colossus youre already saccing survivability

Just watched the first pull of a sob 15 and yoda didn’t use shield charge until half way through first pack. Is that a smart thing to do so you can get some rage gen when it’s starting to slow down? I thought you always wanted to lead on packs with shield charge if it’s up

he just doesnt use that button as often as he should

go into packs charging and use shield charge after your charge has connected

hello all, looking to grab a tank alt. Looking at either druid/pwarr rn. Heard pwarr had some very high apm in higher keys? is it exaggerated or is it really carpal tunnel lol

Personally i dont think the apm is that high bit of a meme. I come from fire mage however. Just frequent ignore pain and shield block weaving as well as your ogcd defensives as well inbetween gcds to manage rage and mit.

Wtf is even apm
