the slow no
but my brain is mush from job rn
ffs man u couldnt give me the loot right above the other ;-;
deserved

Haven't seen many dragon specs that aren't the augmentation class running around
That was part of patch?
Haven't seen any dragon races that aren't the augmentation class running around. That was part of patch wasn't it?
I actually have that trinket
and I think its not awful in m+ but not sure how I rate it yet
it is 1.5 procs per minute+ haste
hasted ppm at that
the main issue with it is theres no str on it and it does no dam
guild i am in is talking about the new mount
90 bucks is basically an ounce
actually more since CAD conversion
1.5oz
believe it or not, no, i was not infact sitting on 200m gold on my account
to instantly buy it lol
I'm ok with running back and fort to the AH. Its good cardio
i think i would get it mostly so i can open AH in places with nobody around
so it doesnt lag out or drop frames cuz i want to buy a potion
city details level would be a nice option or its tied with raid
any time game detects more than 40 players nearby, it switches to raid graphics peroid
unless you tell it otherwise
new to prot tanking ~ im having some trouble gathering mobs up when doing semi big pulls (the 2 slug groups after the first in mists for example) is there any specific strategy i can use to get aggro more consistently before im frantically taunting
Standard clap, leap or charge w/o showing back, avatar and tb the next pack
Charge into first group, TC, Heroic Leap to next, Revenge, Demo, TC. Should stick em to ya. Or any variation of that. 😄
Tips on getting aggro for 8+ keys?
619 mark of khadros or skyterror?
any of you beautiful people know if Sudden Death is haste'd? ie. running 40% haste build gets more ppm compared to a 20% haste build
@strong forum I searched various keywords with "in:protection" but couldnt find anything definitive
also is it purely off off white swings OR also off abilities like SS/clap/etc? If yes, can IP also trigger it?
It is hasted.
How do u tank on +12 and higher the dmg stacking guys after the first boss on stone vault? Do u have a max stack in mind before u jump out?
I get slapped sometimes because of too high stacks. And it happens in 1 sec
Even with 100% shield block uptime and spending basically all rage on ignore pain I get beaten up lol
While my Ilvl is 614, my shield is only 606 and I don’t have a def trinket
That the reason l?
is it better to craft 2nd weapon 636 ?
In m+?
Yeah, on this warr alt I am currently doing 8-9 keys
Demo shout? Blowing CDs? Positioning? Reflecting? Healer sucks?
I use all available CDs and have a reflect WA, healer varies probably.
That's easy possible. With 615 I had some +11 already. Besides good CD management u can't survive when ur group sucks. So it's maybe not ur fault
Just wondering how big of an impact will be a 636 shield over 606?
Was gonna say, DPS not melting quick enough.
That 30ilvl on a shield wouldnt hurt for sure.
*Caveat I haven't pushed keys in quite sometime, but those are all the usual culprits. 😄
You don't, you kite them.
We have no def trinkets somehow 😅. I run 1 from delve but that's not a game changer
Defensive trinkets aren't going to save you or change what you do for that pull.
Is it not so important for pwarr? I want to have swarmlord maybe
Oh okay. So just go in with CDs and stuns, spear them and out + kite
The intent isn't that you sit there face tanking five mobs stacking a damage taken debuff, you just get in (with a defensive already up), establish aggro, run them around in a circle until you drop the debuff, repeat.
Demo shout on gcd also feels super off
Ofc. That was not my question anyway. I asked for a max stack before jump out. But it's fine. I just try to get max aggro as possible and then /dance in the background
2550 tank alt 2750 main
Oh, I don't know that I would focus on a number, depends on what defensive resources you have available.
I mean melee is going to really start hurting even around 7+ stack mark, and five of them are hitting you, so it won't be for long.
But that pull should nonetheless not be a difficult one - you know it's coming everyone knows it's coming, it's the one deliberate kite pull in the dungeon.
the thing is
he didnt say anything
about it
like ask for bl say what youre gonna do
now im stuck with a fucking +7
wdym? You missed the kick? The BL or anything else iddn't matter.
cuz this tard alt f4'd
You kicked the wrong mob
fam
Oh I was talking about the 5 forgemaster pull in sv.
it didnt matter.
might a recommend a focus macro
it did not matter
It did matter? That's the only thing that killed people
the pull was shit anyways
Standard pull though. But in an 8 people don’t know this probably and also cannot think themselves about “I should press BL” without announcement
holy fuck its always the lowlings who come w their excuse
you just needed 1 kick
I mean two tremors went off that no one even attempted to stop, no one lined the knockback on the pillar he was tanking against.
you dont expect people
the lowlings with their excuse? You're theo ne making excuses for missing your kick
wtf
to read you
???????
There was so much damage people took that they didn't need to
you posted the video of you
LIKE MY KICK WIPED IT LOL?
kicking the wrong mob
YES
The mass tremor wiped the group
2 missed mass tremors in a row.
Make this macro
use it
mass tremor goes off
and wow
look
people are DEAD
They instantly die to any follow up damage.
As a tank, I would leave after this pull when I see, that no one cares about the caster near stairs casting around for hours 😅🤣
That macro is wrong
because you kicked the wrong mob with it
use a focus macro
set your focus with mouseover
You're hitting the lieutenant, which is good, but you didn't set the earthcaller as your focus to kick the tremor, which is bad.
you do that instantly at the start of every single pull
ur mythic kills
what u got
the whole point of the video
was to clown a monke
sayiung "oh maybe bl"
and you clowned yourself
when he didnt call for route
so
Dear lord
sure the lowling speaking
the monke did in fact get clowned
pls get a job
Zen stop arguing with him, he's just mad
Tbh BL might not have saved people getting almost 1 shot twice in a row
Bro is pissed that he can't mouseover the correct target before pressing his kick and refuses to use the macro that every single m+ player uses to simply set focus at the start of every pull.
yep
idk cuz maybe people
kick different adds
in pugsd?
even if u focus
there 2 casting
gj you kicked one who was already interrupted
so easier to glance and kick
since u alkready using mouse
The real macro is the one I posted, with a marker attached to it to "claim" a target.
who kicked a mob that wasn't casting anything
because you target the wrong one
And you're trying to cope about overlap?
But you're absolutely getting nowhere arguing this point, it's always the people who point exclusively at others who see nothing wrong in themselves, just look at his spam in messages, it's just raw anger
yeah
Yes, that wipe would have been saved if literally ANYONE kicked that mass tremor
no it is the fact that one guy clowned my fucking key
it's not SOLELY your fault
alt f4'd
but it IS your fault
Every single person could ahve kicked/stunned that cast and didn't
Where is this macro it’s actually hella smart
oh now you are talking of other person
but you posted a video specifically of yourself having kick off cooldown and kicking a mob that isn't even casting a spell.
Skill issue imo
He alt f4d the key cause you wiped, which you and the others could have prevented, yes. Now shut up
????????
uhhh I think Quazi had a video with it recently iirc?
can probably find it there, or just google might have it
"he didnt call the pull so i cant kick waaahhh"
not thje fucking kick
This is beyond not the problem in that video lmao.
you monkey
the whole pull
my CDS
ARE FUCKEDXCD
cuz i didnt know
it was gonna be that pull
It was the fucking kicks.
It's just adding a second line to
-HERE
with /marker @mouseover
If two of the five people in your video bothered to kick either of the mobs casting the giga aoe damage spell, you probably wouldn't have wiped.
IT WASNT JUST MINE
THATS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT
You are one of those five people.
Your CDs dont matter when you're dead cause kicks didnt happen
but the smart macro also checks if there's currently a marker on the target and doesn't change the marker if there is?
I never knew of this macro ( tho I haven't played in 5 years before TWW) that's freaking awesome
It wasn't JUST yours, but it WAS YOURS.
IT ISNT WHAT CAUSED THE WHOLE WIPE., IT IS 4 PEOPLE
You're almost there. Yes, it wasn't JUST you, but it was ALSO youj
WHO GOT FUCKIN CAUGHT
IN A PULL
THAT WAS SO RANDOM
AND SO UNEXPECTED
AND THAT HAPPENED
WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE TANK DID NOT FUCKING
That is an extremely normal first pull for that dungeon.
COMMUNICATE HIS PULL
and you showed yourself making the gameplay error, which I tried to tell you how to fix so it never happens again. But you're coping and malding instead of being reasonable.
This guy doesn’t pug
Tanks who can’t kick are just ppl who weren’t good enough to play dps spec
Why would he communicate THE NORMAL STANDARD PULL THAT EVERYONE DOES?
Do you communicate every single pull you do?
okay
pull 2
I'm 2 packs
next pull
lemme stop
tpying
uhh I'm pulling 3
NOW 95
Just kick the tremor cast and line the knockback next time so you aren't a menace for your healer.
Yo @cosmic olive this discord isn't wow, you can actually just overcap rage instead of dumping it here with word diarrhea
okay wait
zen is typing...
"wait I pull next pack slow"
monkey
okay moves forward
Why the monkey insult? Curious
That IS the safer play
In pugs you almost always wait for the pat to walk to you because people aren't going to line kicks correctly to move both earthcallers together, letting it pat into you is safer and still gets both packs dead about the same time because the dragon has more health.
You're literally mad about nothing.
The normal safe pug way to do that pull IS TO WAIT for the patrol to come back
sure
the tryhard pull is to leap forward past everyone and tag it insta then run back, and that pull is significantly messier.
He came to vent and gets clowned lmao
and you kicked a mob that can't cast spells
Is that a common pull? The 3 pack or the 2 you mean
all i know is i do better in raid or m+ thats all taht matters
the cold hard fact that you kicked a mob that can't cast spells
"Monkeys"
lemme tell you sum
i did 12 and didnt do that pull
go explain that
:))
i did gb all the time, never seen it even
and you can't kick a mob in an 8?
if you dont care then why do you reply to everything?
Cold
cuz im bored waiting for people for the 7 lmfao
yep my bad im so bad
Cause he cares
i cant'; kick adds in an 8
I always do the 2 pack in my 11s but if it’s not super hard that 3x seems cool
I like the way doom and lost ark does things, the stronger the weapon you use, the greater chance you have to "pain state" the enemy (basically stun lock)
aint nobody gon use your loser ahh macro
just sayin
nobody knows it cuz nobody uses it
do all y want
Except everyone but you does.
sure bud
"haha look I'm making myself look like a dumbass and now I'm gonna pretend YOU'RE mad instead of me so hopefully no one sees how overwhelmed with my own frustration I am"
and i like that you can take the risk to attack hard enough that the boss becomes stun locked and doesnt do the attack or doesnt do it at full strenght
Is the common pull 3x, then casters with big guy, then last pack with the 2 pack?
it's called the internet
welcome
dark iron dwarf or basic dwarf for warrior tank?
words != mood / attitude
right yeah surely
can someone link me a good high key log of warrior? trying to see how often stuff like revenge is cast, uptime on certain spells, etc
Like 1+2+3, 4+4.5(patrol), 5+6?
shong
Sup
since the drake is shit to deal with
people tend to just do the first 3
then pull big and run down the adds in front of drakes
Yea I usually tank drake in door to make los easier
exactly
but we got here the scientific rio warriors
talking about some normal pull shit
Ohh
Don’t pull the first 2 packs
Oh I see thanks
2 can be done fast or slow
fast pull all 3 packs needs a lot of aoe stops, but you can pull the 2 packs by the dragons together and slowly add the last pack as you've killed some of the casters.
you can break it down further or work with cds and cc, i USUALLY just chain them to each other
oh look
they are not pulling all the adds together
lmfao
its just the FIRST THREE
anyone else tried playing with molten furnace? in lieue of any other damage aborb trinkets in the game i have used it in some 12s and have felt more comfy but the healing/mitigation done on details is not impressive.
at what hp?
at what HP?
AT WHAT
HP?
AFTER
HE
CASTS
HIS
FUCKING
AOE
NOT BEFORE
:))
I bet your heart rate is going crazy right now as you type really hard
I must repeat myself and write in all caps, I'm not mad tho
you suck, just accept that and improve
when i see u in any leaderboards
only way to improve
He doesn't care what anyone says
LOOK
HAS THEM CHAINING
ITS AT 60
cazy
okay i guess i will take relevant tanking questions to another forum since this seems like a limp glizzy wagging contest in here atm
Do you have friends irl? Chill dude
sure
literally your clip where he did
It's just one dude tbh
exactly what you just said he's supposed to. What the video you took a screenshot from does.
sure
Unless you talk to the actually good people and theorycrafters, all class discords will have this type of shit, classic class discords are even worse lol
Straight up tho from what I seen prot warrior has one of the nicest XD
Warriors are always nice to people who aren't coping out of their fucking minds.
I thought it was the same dude arguing with himself. I need some lunch
it's really funny to post a video of yourself fucking up in a +8 with the whole squad at 625
Wait tf
Why are they doing 8s

PART 1 - INTERRUPT MARKER MACRO
/focus [exists][]
/run if not GetRaidTargetIndex("focus") then SetRa...
Oh yea ig, figured he’d be pretty far into gilded that he wouldn’t have to farm them. I’m 625 and only do like 10-12s cuz none of my friends even have low keys to farm
There, knew it was one of his videos that had the marker part.
Will take a look thanks
tl;dr
/run if not GetRaidTargetIndex("focus") then SetRaidTarget("focus",5) end```
I'm actually excited to use it tbh
"multiple tremors and a knockback and other avoidable shit hitting us cant kill us cause tremor does 2 mil and we are 625+"
I love new macros XD
deletes video
xD
doesn't realize it gets saved automatically
not mad
Yea seems super good, I have noticed I will sometimes kick wrong mobs with a mouse over
Yeah personally I use 1 hotkey for focus kick and 1 for mouseover kick.
I have done that a few times when things seem hectic
It takes a couple hotkeys but basically completely removes your chance to kick the wrong target, no matter how low that chance might be for your personally it's still never 0.
are any of the BRD trinkets worth using?
Personally I kick a random mob so that anyone using a kick tracker sees that I'm on cooldown so it wasn't my fault.
Not really, they're options if you don't get anything else, Golem Gearbox could be something not useless... Heart of Roccor would be a stat stick I guess
Have guys run into pugs thinking tanks will always kick a specific ability? Like the marauder fears in NW?
4 minutes in to the video and he still hasn't gotten to the point 
That dude is a master monetizer
Fr, with the interviews too
Lmao
Yeah I find it hard to follow him sometimes cause a lot of it feels like fluff
he covers some good stuff in his vids but i don't want to click and reward his thumbnail strategy
But honestly, he does make good some good resources especially for new players in a game that has a LOT of base functionality "missing", even if it is a lot of bloat to monetize.
Am I the only one though who just mouse klicks the relevant target that I want to kick
The focus macro seems interesting though, gonna try it out
Nah I'm a fucking casual too... I just kick Mass Tremor
why, it's only millions of damage to the whole party. doesn't seem relevant
I don't disagree, but him and Tactyks have the same problem, they'll drone on about some irrelevant shit for 5 minutes and I'll realize I stopped paying attention halfway through the video
Exactly cause we're 625+
It's just significantly more efficient to macro it because you reduce the risk of an unforced mistake. Is it necessary? No, just as much as boss mods and stuff aren't. Just 1 more way to reduce mental load.
I tab target and pray
But first you need to set focus target right
Seems kinda same effort than clicking target for kick
Yeah, you do that as you run towards the next pack / while fighting it long before any of the kicks start happening.
It's the difference of doing it in a more relaxed timeframe
If you have a set rotation or a mob you know you specifically want to kick, it's easier in the heat of the moment
vs having to rush to do it within a 1.0-1.5s cast time.
Wait you guys don't have macros just to focus a specific named mob?
You can hotkey setting a target as focus, so
second only to the library of letourneau
do i have a gcd when i interrupt?
no
damn. then there is no excuse . ok ok
Finally ovinax jail is no more
Is spell block still bugged?
Just had it do absolutely nothing on the tank buster portion of Obsidian beam.
Been that way for the entire xpac; shields are clearly meant only for healers
I don't know if it gives the same message for heal specs
ok so seems like a bug, I was wondering whats wrong with the shield lol
I know it gives the message for Prot Pal
bruh it will do this but not tell me that my staff has int on it on my feral
did you point your character model at it, and have shield block up ?
both things are required ontop of having spell block activated
xpdll block alllows you to block spells, but you still need 100% block which comes from having shield block active
Yes
I had all of the above rolling and still took 11 mil from that thing.
have logs?
Sadly, not anymore. We just ran it back on the 10 and crushed it. It was only the one time.
Just pissed me off cause I knew everything was coming. Hit spell block, shield block topped off and bam 11 mil.
Heyo
How u handle big pull in COT after 2nd boss? Mobs just crushing me even with all defensives up, like im starting to kite almost at the moment i grouped up a pack
How to facetank them a little longer than 5-10 sec? 
Spear and kite.
Use Ravager to help with agro while you either leap or get out of dodge. Too many stacks and you gonna die.
they stack a debuff on you. just go in with cds, spear, and then kite them / stun them
Is it necessarily a bug though, or maybe it is just not blockabke anymore
They are doing these stealth nerfs often
On the 10, the biggest it hit was 4 Mil
This was an 8 SV, just wondering should my end of run DPS be much higher or does it seem about right? Im at 615 ilvl
seems a bit low to me though
Warrior's had it's time in the sun, as is tradition we must now swap roles with Paladins for the rest of the expac
Any1 has a good & clean UI setup to recommend for a prot war lost a disk of mine so setting everything form scratch :S
SV my overall is generally 850k ish +/-50k
I'm sure some chads are knocking out 1mil+
But also that pally is melting everything
Might be artificially lowering your overall
What ilvl though?
I also still have a 606 weapon, not sure how much it contributes
lemme check my last logged, I haven't touche SV in a couple weeks
616 last I ran >.>
Hmm
weapon is by far your biggest dps upgrade
True yeah but it’s pretty good dps when I test on dummy
In M+ I rarely use it, mostly spamming IP
Yep, that's optimal, revenge is used purely as a source to reset SS cd
If IP is your rage dump that's good gameplay
log your next run, check how much rage you're wasting
I have to admit, I need to get used to revenge only being SS fish. I feel like I'm starving for no reason for using revenge too much
Sometimes you wind up having to revenge 2, even 3 times very rarely to fish for a SS reset, that's why you should pool your rage until ~70
I also need to drop a log and get flamed a bit. Started playing again this season so need to get set straight.
Logging is the best way to find your weakspots
Some people are a little vicious but we try to keep it civil, I just want prot warriors to look their best when gaming
Last time I logged, I gave up on the group i played with. But yeah
shield slam is low
Hell yeah, only took this many weeks.
Kinda yeah, though 275 hits? I try to press it on CD in packs <4 or so
alwyas on cd
Does wowanalyzer work for prot keys? Like to help understand uptime and defensives or only logging and having u guys read it? I dunno really how to read to improve in my keys aside from recording and watching back
I'm adding gems to one of my rings
Should I use the "Culminating Blasphemite" or "Deadly Emerald"? ;o
Like, should I get 2 Deadly Emeralds or 1 Culminating Blasphemite and 1 Deadly Emerald? ;o
Normal dwarf stoneform if you sweating
you wouldn't pick either race for those traits
Which race then?
think you'd pick DID for their dispel/mainstat, but dwarf with passive crit dam bonus and regular stoneform is better
Stoneform will save your life more than any other racial. It's busted
Does the 10% Earthen armor bonus help with armed to the teeth add dmg?
is this ass for prot
Is there a certain amount of haste or any other requirements to mantain 100% shield block uptime? or is it something you should be able to do like as soon as hitting 80
Heavy repercussions talent is 100% uptime
I guess when one has enough haste, can take into the fray instead
ah okay, great - ty
for when you can take into the fray and still mantain 100% uptime?
correct. there's some way smarter people in here that have said its closer to 40% im just repeating what they've said
makes sense, that would prob be why the big key runs all have into the fray - they basically just have good gear that enables it
they are very haste stacked
Yeah
I have 20k haste I think and I can play ITF
okay cool, i only have 11k right now
but I just finished campaign and bought some blues off ah so prob run the other one for a bit
Just play ITF
You can flask haste if you want
Gnome gang 🔥🔥
I Have 50% haste when chaos flask goes into haste it’s really nice
Yes when bl / affixe it’s kinda annoying
besides I remember twinking with MoP greens on my low level character
I can’t spend all that rage
Haste was useless when you had 300%
With my gnome hands
in stonevault, after first boss there are 2 entrance packs. i see that most ppl play them together, but the Void Bound Despoiler left pack is hitting me with 6m dmg shadow claws while im trying to get them together. how u do it? is that somehting i can reflect ?
ye u can reflect that
feels so good to reflect it too
if u pop reflect really early on I think you can reflect each cast
otherside just wall one reflect the other
And the despoiler does his group dmg only if he do his first claw (i don’t know if it changed), so basically you taunt left pack and go right
is the spell reflect sheet accurate for Kyveza currently?
Surprised you can't sbock her combo
It is categorized as physical
I guess then taunt left, spell reflect on and then go right? Because my problem was he ranged killed me with that 6m shot 🤣
Is spellblock also working? Maybe that would be better
As start
anyone have any tips for that miniboss in dawn with the 2 tacticians, i keep landing and getting owned on bdk and war
that's not from the guide, that's the item name. Guessing something changed in the recent patch and it's now using the wrong id?
should be everforged belt and bracers with duskthread i believe
both duskthread?
believe so
ok thank you
im a brokie on this game so i wanted to make sure before i spend on crafting
duskthread or dawnthread?
i like crit and i got more crit in my gar rn
gear
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/qJVQP7d1xyXM39rC#fight=last&type=auras
Looking for log review of this M+ run. (First timed 10 this season)
dawnthread, sorry
Hey y'all, I'm having a really bad issue on my queen ansurek prog right now in raid.
On P2 anytime we are crossing bridges with the skitter's, I thunderclap to get agro and there is literally a 50% chance my game disconnects me. It's not a crash (the window does NOT* close) it disconnects me to the login page
anyone else experience anything like this? literally killing us runs and it is a terrible feeling
so i am confused about something everyone says defensive stance reduces dmg done but mine in my abilities doesnt tell me it reduces my dmg at all what is going one with that?
and i feel like i do more dmg in defensive stance then i do in battle stance
wut
if you're a dps war it reduces your damage dealt
and classic d stance reduces it too, but otherwise they might just mean using it is a dps loss vs battle stance?
i was just curious cause i got yelled at cause i was playing D stance over battle stance i am a stance dancer and i got told i was playing wrong
The numbers on your abilities won’t go down because defensive stance does not technically lower any damage output itself
It’s just a slight loss of damage due to battle stance granting 3% crit which you lose out on when you’re in defensive stance
ok so stance dancing is good?
Anyone that backseat tanking you just don’t play with them anymore
If they’re in your guild, type /gquit
Yes myself and many others stance dance
I would recommend reading the wowhead guide portion on stances
oh i have played prot war sense vanilla i have always been a stance dancer i was just really surprized when i got yelled at for it
Ok yeah many people don’t understand the intricacies of prot warr let alone any tank now that I think about it
i apprieciate the help thank you for everything
No prob gl
any point me toward the answer whether the heroic anniversary raid trinkets are bis (for dmg)? (excluding Mythic Ansurek trinket)
I don’t believe anything from BRD is good enough to seek out for us
Just run it for fun if you want
It’ll add it’s loot pool to your heroic nerubar vault tho, so be mindful of that
BRD fills the vault ?
Im not touching that shit on my characters lol
Imagine my mage dropping brd trinket but not spymaster
get amythicvault
Well it’s my alt
buy 6/8 for gold cap
I don’t need to buy soon
I am free of ovinax
Killed it yesterday
Hey, just did this route on SV, how do I get on the cart after boss?
Aggroed the pack right beside the cart
You don’t or you shroud/soothe
Thanks
Yeah you need like imprison or soothe otherwise you run back
It’s not too much time loss
You lose in 10-15 seconds
Like if you deplete it’s not that little jogging the reason
generally what has the highest value forr upgrading to 636 in crafted slots? wep/rings/shield?
1 more question, everytime someone talks about BSV here they are trashed, but Quazii and Plka are playing with it in high keys, why?
Shield, better block %
because theyre doing high keys
Some have too much ego to protect here sorry
They take BSV because they need it, that’s it
If you need it, take it too, play like you want don’t be pressure on by ego players, but remind yourself if it proc it means something bad happened and will surely happen again before the 3 min cd
why do you keep saying ego players lmao
Because a lot of people here every time someone ask about BSV that’s how I see them
u basically do not need bsv until youre doing 13+, on low keys you may get 1 proc of it during a whole dungeon which makes it bad value
How I see people responding*
1 proc is enough value
-1 min 15 if you didn’t have it
or u could have ravager and have infinite rage for infinite ip and not be in that situation in a low key
You have infinite rage without 60 rage every 1 min 30, but I get what you mean
war is just so innately tanky, esp in low keys if youre playing right youre just not getting low enough to proc bsv unless your whole team is already wiped
at least in my experience
doiing 10s at 605
Tbh I only take bsv for necrotic wake or when I want to try something
Im just explaining to him to not be pressured by people short answering « you don’t do 15s don’t take it»
Bsv is fine its comfy, you dont need it on lower keys but your not a bad player if you take it. Losing ravager isnt the end of the world 60 rage per minute contributing 5% dmg per key. you will make up far more dmg and rage perfecting your rotation. If bsv prevents potential 3 mins lost on a wipe its done its job. To be honest if your blowing a key due to a tank not having ravager there is other problems with your group
It’s only what I found on wowhead sorry
Hmm
Well might be worth if you want to save crest upgrade on another weapon if you didn’t craft one
If saving crest is a thing with 630 cap
the proc is a bit over 2x the normal strength budget so if it's 2 ppm then it'd average out but you'd risk it not having a proc under avatar or burst
Friendly gamers! What would say is the ilvl needed to attempt mythic ulgrax
I’ve never done a mythic boss at all yet so I have no point of reference
Is this trinket good
how do i sim stat weights in raidbots or which stats to aim for? so i know what stats to craft
Decent If u like candles on top of your head
hello new prot warr here, quick question about talent trees, i cann see most played are two choices, either champions spear into champion's might or thundreus roar
what the difference to be honest?
You could sim the crafted item I guess
Why don't I get the Impending Victory reset after using it? 
Roar got target capped this week so it's not as good as it used to be, but roar is easier to use but at a damage loss basically. i think colossus prefers roar still maybe?
you need to get a killing blow to reset the cd and have it at 0 rage cost
you don't sim stat weights. you use top gear (i think you can add crafted gear there now)
it's really good but stuck at suboptimal ilvl
What should I craft? The weapon is champion, legs are veteran. Else mostly hero
hey guys im thinking about talenting bsv instead of ravager @ me
@barren oar
Weapon maybe?
weapon and shield are good, can also do wrists for 2nd embell
First time I tanked the boss at 613, i didn’t need to def cd the tank mechanic just the adds in p2
Would you say weapon first? My shield is hero
Not upgraded yet though
sure
Alright
Thanks! Hopefully I’ll find a group that’ll take me fight doesn’t seem bad at all
Any thoughts on the BRD trinkets for prot? Anything worth chasing?
What’s the cheapest weapon for mats?
Should I just take revenge off my bar?
no
As tank nothing changes you don’t do anything as in heroic it’s really you watching everyone doing stuff and then you tank some adds and some people die from the charge
If there is no warlock just leave already
Looking forward to that
It is hasted
There’s an item for that?????
TIL
Yes you don’t need a macro anymore
It is sold by NPCs. In the Other Items category. Added in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. Always up to date with the latest patch (11.0.5).
Nice thanks gamer!
I’m playing Zandalari Troll race, and wanted to change race.. was hesitant between Earthen, Dwarf & Orc. What would most of you suggest? Racial wise
But when adding crafted gear, I need to select stats and I can’t just run with all the stat combinations. That’s why I was asking
When doing M+, nothing beats dwarf due to stone form
most likely you will want hast krit or haste vers
I know that due to guides but I try to understand how to find that out myself since stat weight sims aren’t a thing anymore
is there a macro im missing to do heroic throw and ravager @target?
Noooome I did race and name change, how do I make my Rio and logs on the new char ? xD you told me that's possible I can't find a guide
for example blood dk states that all 3 stats are good, so i don't know which stat combination i should put into droptimizer when going for crafted items since that asks for a prefered stat combination
Cleaning up UI to get better view of those mounts lining up
@violet ginkgo wonder if token is peaking right now or gonna rise even more?
you can add crafted items in top gear and sim their variations.
(at least that's how i do it)
ahhh, so droptimizer to see which slot is best and then top gear the variants. that's a neat "trick"
thx!
regarding stats, there are certain breakpoints for warrior like with haste for example, u sometimes play different talents for more shieldblock uptime below 20% haste, theres a indepth guide on prot warrior from yodatv, idk if it is still up to date tough, you can also just copy ppl on murlok.io
xd
What about the 10% armor from earthen? Wouldn’t it help in m+?
i mean it's better than literally nothing but it's far from groundbreaking
it's just base armor
not all armor
Shield first, 100%. its your biggest defensive upgrade.
At least I won’t have to be a filthy Alliance
based ????
racials don't really matter. don't pick a class due to it. the benefits are miniscule outside of the absolute highest level of play and even there they are "niche"
Dwarf are considered the best race for M+ only due to the debuff / bleed dispell on stoneform
But if you arent trying to push 17+ keys, and even then, it's whatever.
Pick the class you enjoy looking at since that what you will be doing most of the time anyway
lizard goes kinda hard tho ngl
i would play earthen just to have free food ;D
They should trash the reasoning that most people are taking it, rather than trashing taking the talent at all. It can be quite strong, but people are acting as if it's a magic ability that fixes everything due to being a cheat death (which it also isn't by definition, but that's a relatively moot point on both ends).
What it is good for is acting as a strong defensive that can help you with defensive CD rotation, which can be strict on some bosses this season. It hasn't been proven to be so far entirely necessary in any of those high keys that they're running, either, with any logs that we've seen. It can help cover for issues in play, which is the main thing that we've seen. Since this Discord is mostly focused on optimizing Prot Warrior gameplay, it's not recommended baseline. There might eventually be a point where it is necessary, but it's also possible the party's dead by then.
Overall, it's not like a bad talent, but you can pick it for bad reasons. Grabbing it just because someone pushing 14s is grabbing it without considering why they are is a bad reason. Grabbing it to help ensure you don't die is fine, even if it hasn't been entirely necessary, since at the end of the day, timing the key is the most important.
Thought about that, but food isn’t that expensive anyways, Runes are what I try to avoid, so expensive!!
mods pin this

You all bought the mount yet?
I'm thinking on it real hard
If you do it,i'll ban you.
can someone explain to me why so many people choose Champion Spear over Thunderous Roar?
more damage 
from what i've seen CS does 533k damage over 1.5 min CD vs TR whcih does 400k damage over 45 sec CD

meaing you would have 800k damage over the same 1.5 min cd time
That's not how it works.
Spear has additional crit modifiers.
spear aligns nicely with avatar, shield charge, demo shout, some trinkets and ravager. which boosts it's value through bottom right node idk the name
Thane can put in more burst damage into the crit increase windows
spear gives rage
So it ends up pulling ahead in damage over time
race choice should be a heart and not a math thing. pick what you enjoy most and don't let people tell you otherwise. Outside of RWF it won't matter
You’re right, I just get bored of looks, so I change race every few months just out of boredom 👀
won't atomic recalibrator just fix that for you or
How much damage are you guys doing on avg. in dungeons? im at around 650k in avg. at item lvl 623. cant figure out if im to low.
i don't have it, does it have a turbo long cd or something?
depends, aoe packs I can go up to 1m+ dps, on single target bosses it's naturally going to be lower
over sv im hitting 680k avg over the entire dung at 618 ilvl
depends on dungeon and key level really. you do more damage the higher the key is and some dungeons are easier to pull big in (nw) and some you might have to do mamy smaller pulls (cot)
i know for dps its quite easy to check the logs and check your 'parses' to have a general guideline about DPS performance, but how do you look at things like that on tanks usually?
|| first one to say that they drank water I’m buying them the Mount ||
I drink water?
Pog
@torpid dome dm me your bnet
kinda just look at casts per minute. aiming for something like 17 cpm on ss, checking outburst usage and tc/tb casts i guess
wasted rage is also bad as that means less avatar
Also you can check how many melee hits got blocked by shield block gamer man
Trying to figure out how i can improve my m+ logs. can someone give me some pointers: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/86569126?zone=39
those are points aka key level
need to select damage at the top left
hmm I still have quite a lot of wasted rage relatively speaking I think, lemme check...
For cpm im usually top of the party, around 64 cpm or so
yeah it depends, sometimes im around 70 as well
Ah i see, i have forgotten to upload or run logs on some runs it looks like.. i gotta remember to do that i gues 😛
shield slam is at 12,7 cpm, so guess there's some improvement to take
Which Ilvl should my team have to time a +10
Whichever you need
People were comfy clearing them at 590-ish on week 1, but your group may need more ilvl in order to feel comfortable based on skill
timing with 590? i kinda doubt that
there were a few +2s at 590
If people are pushing 15s at all right now with the gear we're at now, then it's definitely doable there, since keys start scaling real hard after 12s due to the affix change
im gonna try to complete my first +10 key this weekend, not necessarily timing it but just for the vault slot. Curious how it will go 
Anywhere from very roughly to smooth sail
With the gear ups people have gotten, and enough time to brute force IO, there's a large skill difference in players that are hittings 10s at the moment
yeah that's true
are weekly routes even good for timing 10s or should i take a look at different routes?
I mean I dont like the ara kara route going to the sides in the end
You've got Timmy who just rams into keys and presses any button on their keyboard that's not bound to an abilitity who bumbled their way into running 10s, and you've got Chaddicus on the other end, who would pull 10M DPS overall were it not for the laws of this land, who could solo 14s or somethin'
You can take 10s one pack at a time and still be comfy on time
Just don't really wipe, and you'll be good, since that's a minute every time the party goes down
even if you don't go down, still a minute off timer
I dont mind the hauler and the double overseer, but those packs on the side always feel like chaos to me lmao
and if you wipe, wipe and let the pack reset, instead of keep feeding deaths to a pack that got pulled wrongly 🥲
I've not once ever gone down the sides, but I also haven't run a key in like two weeks
yeah holy hell with deaths hitting your timer as hard as they do now, that's the fastest way to throw a key
yeah the keystone routes all go over the sides
but those packs feel so chaos
while the hauler and the overseers in the center feel controllable
I guess it's faster, when all ppl are alligned how to handle the sides
but ill keep blasting middle lane there lmao
what i am missing when tanking is seeing the same dungeon being done in different ways, since i am the one pulling. as a dps you would see so many different strategies
Yea I also prefer middle, I would recommend that unless keyis so high that big bug one shots group with his aoe
Never wiped in center so far
Wiped 3 times when going on the sides

Yea, also have this issue sometimes, watching videos from some famous tanks could help, or just going as dps got few runs
not being invited there is the problem 😄
Hey guys, new to tanking, to sim do I just do stat sim or something else to see what I need to craft
Me neither, but Aoe from big bug is ramping up and unavoidable so I am assuming that on really high keys you would probably not take him
Yeah, kinda hard with pugs. They need to burst it hard and cc it. Safer but longer is going middle.
to start logging my self with wow logs, do i just use the overwolf companion and start /end the logs there?
I have been used to having other ppl run the logs.
You just ultimately need the wowlogs software to upload the logs and a way to generate the logs; you can manually enable logging with the chat command, or grab an addon like Loggerhead, MRT, or I think DBM all have auto-logging parts that will automatically turn it on for you
Just remember to turn on Advanced Combat Logging on in WoW's options in the menu first
you just go to here, name your parse and live log
or else they won't upload properly
Ah nice thanks, did that and requested the merger from warcraft logs

For tanks do we just craft the gear that's the lowest item level other than weapons
what's a good way to find regulars / people to run M+ with?
Guilds
No Pressure discord
Where do you guys get routes from? Pug friendly routes for m+
Thanks
Thanks!
Yeah it’s horrible, I go middle
what do prot warriors do for queen ansurek? can u spell reflect anything cool?
if u are collosus, u can use demolish to not get sucked in intermission
or heroicleap/intervene
u can use spear/shockwave to make sure ads in p3 dont move much
whats the go to on brood when you want to gather 2-3 big spiders but don't want to pull the boss
seems like I can either aoe taunt and grab boss or taunt 1 on cd and hope to dmg others
for taunt
Stand on 1 taunt the other
just normal rotation?
cant remember if I could cc them
was trying everything
similar to dps in M+ unloading before gathering all mobs. ig dps could have unloaded on big spiders early
I think aoe taunting works best in this scenario
I think most tanks have 1 single target taunt to use, no?
not sure
im alt tanking rn
whats soft cap for haste? 19,800?
I believe im soft cap'd with buffs without our haste trinket, should I invest into crit second? its like haste->crit->vers right?
no u dont care about what your haste is at u just stack it
Interesting, you go past soft cap?
so pushing 55% ish haste?
what are u unbuffed?
im not sure what 19.7k came out to I think it was 45% ish percent
would be like 48-49% with trinket thats bis
for missives you want haste/crit?
You never have enough haste
Like for pushers do it like haste=verse>crit. If you ask me what is better, I said that with 17k (30%) haste, 10k (11/12%) vers and 7k crit (15%) I feel myself better then I was when I had haste > crit > vers. 😊
All unbuff
yeah I was looking online and from what I gather it starts to diminish past 30%, so im assuming thats the soft cap
cant find anything to confirm in aside from user post
was told 19.8k last night by a high ilvl prot warr main in game
Yeah, closer to 35% would be better coz les gcd, but before you doing that watch on other stats. Like I said once I took crit and a bit haste to vers I really became more tanky
yeah seems like im getting hit really hard even with shield block up and no castable spells hitting me so im just confused
I'm thinking im trolling with vers being like 3% and other stats really low with haste through the roof
this was in grim batol today
nope after haste stats do next to nothing in terms of defence
surivability comes from play
i run 2% vers completly fine here
whats the play if shield block is up and you have magic reflect up and still getting hit hard
just gain more ilvl?
not squishy but def taking good amount of dmg when pulling the standard weekly routes
gathering some big pulls
clenching a lot of moments
making sure sb is up during those moments
front facing
Elite hmm... here is the thing let's say your vers now is 3% right then you somehow swap few gears and make it 7% vers, that is only extra 2% DR.
it's not going to magically somehow make you tanky with extra 2%
yeah might be a crit issue
I'm pretty mastery favored rn due to rng
its weird that grim batol with regular attacks were doing dmg when I had sb up though
I thought it was 100% block to white meele attacks
do u know how block works?
block isnt a 100% DR
it reduces damage based on the block rating of your shield
no
hmm might be my 619 shield then
armour reduces them as well but its seperate
need to get a 636 crafted
well I mean armor also affect the damage reduction but that is like combined later after the block and so on.
i mean thats not gunna fully help but as it wont change stuff too much
I got a few bad pieces left also, might be total armor
no not really
let jakey see your armory maybe or at least log
will do, I logged off for the night awhile go since it got so late but i'll log/gear tomorrow
whats your char name? trhen we can see gear online
It's certainly not a gear issue
Some pulls just do hurt even despite shield block
First 2 pulls cuz of rive
And then the enrage dudes after 2nd boss
45% haste in season 1 is crazy
That does not sound right
45% isnt unreasonable rn
meanwhile, jesus I need to pump more haste then
Well armoury doesnt show your talented haste increases afaik
Hey just swapped from mage to prot warrior because cba to sit 40 minutes queueing, is there a website similiar to magehub with useful info on what to spellreflect and general dungeon plays you can do for warriors?
I'm sitting at 50% in game but 38% in armoury
the wowhead prot guide has some pointers per dungeon and boss
this calms my heart a bit
oh then i was to stupid to find that, thanks 🙂
there's a pinned sheet in this channel too with a list
oh yeah right. Thanks alot
It does depending what you logged out with

Armory is not an indicator how much haste we have
Random question, Blessed Weapon Grip, does anyone know if it procs basically instantly on first combat? (not asking specifically for my warrior)
20k is closer to like 27% in raw haste
Idk what blessed weapon grip is
embellishment for weapon that's like opposite of Ascension
procs secondary stat x10
loses stacks
over time
