you have a high uptime on it bc you have too much rage to spend if youre following your priority
the primary purpose is reducing CDs, Heal, get more uses of IP, more outbursts
Thank you for the real answer lol
my answer wasn't real 
There’s differences between the purpose/intent, and the outcome of said intent
i know something that proc outbursts really fast too, it is yours to take
Nah your answer was good, I was just confused
violent outburst doesn't do anything to execute who cares

Violent outburst gives more rage for more Revenge, Execute no aoe
bah that's what the braindead dps classes are for
how do I add warning for trash skills?
Pin that shit for the people in the back. 😄
it may be a situation (+12 Mists)
I pray for peoples common sense.
😂
Hello.
assistance plz
wehjre dmg
Hello!!
meowdy
you need to frame your question in such a way that we know what to actually answer
so for the mythic dungeon weakaura, that shows the boss skills countdown, I saw some people have similar timer or voice telling them of trash incoming skills as well
depends on the weakaura pack, and in addition it depends on if you've installed the sharedmedia sounds it would be looking to play
if you look at the weakaura, and see the speaker icon...
something in that group is trying to play a sound, you can drill down, look at the actions or conditions for that weakaura and see if the sound file is populated in the field
if it isn't, and it's selected to play a sound, you're missing some sort of addon that has the audio files in it
I did install the sharedmedia sounds
I'm personally not familiar with that weakaura pack, but I use Naowh's dungeon weakauras and shared media for my callouts

it looks like this one? https://wago.io/twwdungeons
did you do:
I have this, I did the steps, but it only shows boss abilities, not trash
4th place
good
Is that 1.2 million dps? That doesn't sound legal unless gb distorts dps numbers
nah its regular dps
can't even beat an emo e-girl smh
im ashamed of any key i end up below 1.2mil
so this is good
ig city and siege it is allowed to be 1mil
I'm proud of you dad
archon says max dps pray is allowed to do is less than 1 million
now upload the log and see what it is after all the travel time is added into it 
Archon says it uses 95th percent to get dps number so that means he is doing like 40% more dps then the top 95%
those data aggregator sites are gonna bring no joy to your life dude
the dps jump between a 99 and a 100 is often times bigger than 90->99
Tell me the clever use of game mechanics to get #1 dps pls
play with 3 priests and get cycled PI
Like the outlaw rogues had a clever use of game mechanics recently
just hit your buttons
Play with 2 tanks and 3 healers and pull all trash packs to the boss
thats not how you get big overalls
More % of your time spent would be cleave
you get big overalls as 5 tanks, or a normal group that can do bigger pulls
nah agmius that aint how it works
cuz your key is gonna be SLOW AF
But during that slow period, you are doing 1.5M dps kekw
trash will die
I bet the bosses would live long tho ye..
stuck with boss for 4 minutes
seems pretty on point to me
Need an arcane mage slave doing ST
the gap from 91 todays parse and 99 is 30% more dmg on sikran
I bet I can get massive dps if I go to a m0 with a full group. Is that the clever use? To beat up on low key lvl
Wouldn't rank on the logs
Or it might but it'd be silly
That says highest dps is 800k for gb not 1.3 mill
damage parses in low keys doesnt matter bc nobody does them
Yeye same idea tho
More time spent cleavin
Bruh with the citations
people don't want to read that's on them I guess
I am illiterate
I don't understand. Archon data matches what you sent yes. But I'm talking about the pwar doing 1.3 mill not 800k
And I ignore all reason
Wcl isn't just combat time?
Bruh that's so dumb in m+ you have running time
what does it matter
its evenly applied to any log so you're only punished if you're having excessive downtime and that's a group problem
If you have 1.3 million combat time qhat does that translate to when it shows on wcl?
depends on the dungeon usually
and if your healer had to stop to drink
or your dps had to afk because they needed to wash their naked mole rat
Look even here it is over 1 million and on wcl
nom would need to answer what exactly that is a screenshot of because it isn't clear to me
Ohh I guess that is in the realm of possible if 95% = 800k and 100% = 1 mill
WCL also sometimes filters out damage to certain mobs details doesn't
like the affix orbs I'm guessing WCL purges but details doesn't
similar to Rash adds
But that's still like 20% more than the 95th
Here I'm comparing wcl 95% to that 100%. 800k vs 1 mill
all I can tell you is his highest public log in WCL for GB is 820k
what that screenshot is of, I have no idea, it has no identifying features really
Sir is this for the gb?
nom is very very good, he's going to 99-100 parse basically everything he does
I asked him what the 1 mill is for
but he's not going to do impossible numbers either
If the 1 mill is for the gb then he 20% above the top log on earth 🌎
yes its gb
i send a screenshot of public logs of warrior grim it depends on which key lvl lol
I know, I'm referring specifically to nom's public not general public
5 dudes public log 15s
poor guy did 757 overall in a 15 and got a 0 parse
and yes bosses and prio targets last a very long time in high keys
what's even more amusing in those logs
for the 10s
a 99 can be both 1m ds and 850k dps
you see 10s they do more dmg than in 15s
mine was 11
What is max dps log for 11 gb
948k but remember almost no one take m+ logs / or put in in public
noms now if he makes it public 
So that means he did about 15% more than highest log on earth 🌎
it's not like raid where you are 100% sure there is always a gov spy in the corner who is logging you
But iirc that don't mean all that much I was getting 100 m+ parses in shadowlands because sample size low
no one cares about m+ parses, if you can do 100 parses in a 20 why are you not rank 1 in rio score
warcraftlogs doesn't even have a dps stats page on m+
Not gonna lie my super casual 621 pwar was doing like 600k in 10 ara-karak
there is not even an option to see damage parses in stats
If you go to archon you can see the tier list
just check archon. looks like ppal does like 200k more dps than all other tanks
we just showed you where they found the number at the right, dmg parses in m+ is not what matters, it's score
So why is ppal showing up a lot higher? Because they do more damage or some other reason?
because yes i can go on a +2 with my colossus build take everything and do 2m overall, that doesn't matter at all
Both are max key 17
both max keys are 17
and prot pally does the most dmg
thats just fax
prot pally does the most dmg of tanks, by a landslide
but the more important is not dmg for tank
Is ppal super squish?
lies and slander
why dh or monk is not above war ? because they didn't timed a 17 thats it
ppal is not super squish
If ppal is same defensive and has more utilities and does more damage then it goes higher on tier list I would think
this conversation is giving me brain rot
to clarify
all tanks are viable and decently close even
if prot pally can survive the key, and their dmg is not abysmal, they will be the meta tank
that will always remain true in this day and age
and it so happens that prot pally now also does god tier dmg
^
How are they defensively compared to pwar? I did some very low ppal stuff in 11.0 and felt like I was made out of paper
its always been about tanky enough
You bring the minimum tankiest tank that does the most damage or provides some broken utility
and best buff
which does count towards utility
Buff is a function of damage
there are a whole lot a caveats there but basically yeah
ye
If ppal is pulling 200k more than brew
Who cares if brew is buffing your physicals by 5%
Ppal can click off ret aura and still be contributing more dps
for most people being on a tankier tank is way better because it gives you more room to make mistakes and your healer doesn't need to be very familiar with you
How ppal defensively compared to pwar? Don't matter how much dps if you dead imo
They are more vulnerable to white hits
And bad play can send you down to a death spiral
but tier lists are not made for the common man, the people who make them are people pushing the highest level on content, that have an excellent group to play with that changes the calculus A LOT
a pally needs to play alot better than a pwar does
^
cuz pwar is autopilot spec
it's more than 200k dps on a key a buff, brew is just not tanky enough because stagger is designed toward raid
and SR is extremely good defensively this season
aswell as spellblock
there are very few things that hurt a pwar
I’m just giving an example
but that doesnt matter if your group cant survive
Im saying that buffing your team is no different from doing more damage yourself
^
When the first boss on daw beaker sends her beams out she hits me for like 90% hp if not using defensives
yes every phys dps are either doggo shit or can't live
you don't parse as a team you parse as an individual 
this is why you use defensives when bosses use tank busters 
Every other ap class has significant magic
yes and are they good ? hunter is doggo shit AND can't live
rogue doesn't exist I guess 
What is the correct defensive to stop the beam lady? Idk if it's magic damage or what
all of them help
You dance between SW and SpB optimally
It's exactly when she sends her beams that she hits me hard and that's what I want to stop. Can it be spell reflected?
On higher keys you may want want to hold off a demo to line up as well, with SR being up for each cast
ironically warrior doesn't have a purely physical damage defensive
Sin and sub are both half magic
It’s called shield block
that's not what I would consider a defensive
it is?
Prot warrior pressing nothing is tankier than most tanks with their rotational defensives on
thats why warrs are so strong
If ppal does more damage than pwar the only question is how much less tanky is it
Your entire philosophy of prot war is mitigating spell damage because we passively reduce phys damage through our kit
I open Discord and it autoput me to see truth, so I reply, this
there is a place phys dmg hurts a prot war
Same thing also goes the otherway, too. Whatever gives the group the most damage, however you get it, is absolutely the best
nw first pull x)
if somebody says this, it's not because they aren't using shield block lol
its because they aren't using A DEFENSIVE
like DS, SW, SR, etc etc etc
DS* not DR
I’m fairly sure no tank has a purely physical defensive
fuckin hell I mean SW not SB I just fucked myself
By your definition
If I use spell block then will that help against beam hit?
i'm sure too i can't think of one yet
Most cd based defensives mitigate both
I'm actually trying to sit there and think if there was ever a defensive CD that was listed as physical only in WoW; closest would be an older version of die by the sword iirc, since it used to only give the parry I feel like
I guess someone needs to know what kind of damage beam hit is
And that's not even a tank defensive cd
its magic
It can be biased for physical but not completely physical
SR helps yes
So you can spell reflect the beam tank hit onto her?
But yeah, you can spell block the beam burst. You can actually block two if you time the activation right
usually phys mitigation is in each classes "mini game" like stagger, bone shield, whatever dh needs to maintain, ironfur etc
do your basic rotation = give armor or block
blood shield too
yes i will not cite every thing
I have weak aura that tells me when something is coming that is spell reflectable but it doesn't show on the beam hit
because its not literally reflectable
It should be mentioned this is by design, since it lets them tinker with magic damage (and bleeds, which are effectively magical phys damage) as the way to leverage tank damage intake that actually needs management
but SR is also a magic damage reduction is it helps
This is part of the reason I don't advocate SR weakauras, since it encourages people to not think of SR as a defensive with the 20% DR
Ohhh. That weak aura is broken and doesn't show big damage incoming that I should use spell reflect for. Anyone have one?
You can just slam it any time there's a spell targetting you and get sinilar results
No, it's working as designed
It's meant to only show you want can be deflected/reflected, not what to mitigate
Yes I want one that shows all 3
The WA for the big damage are boss addons and dungeon WA suites
the wa i think it's more designed around Spell reflectiong stuff for not dying (designed for dps)
Yea but those big suites don't specify if the incoming is magic or not?
knowing if you are targeted by a bolt that will oneshots you as fury on a pack of 20 mobs good luck
reflecting it is the hard part
just hit the button you sy
then it gets eaten by 50k bolt
example, do the rock men reflects in SV
Almost every tank buster this season, and in DF as well, is magic or has a magic component
you often reflect he 1-2m spells the dwarfs cast
That, like I mentioned, is by design
Ain't Noone made a weak aura that shows what to reflect if it is a big spell damage that can be mitigated, a spell that is reflectable and targeting you?
Anything they want you to interact with on a deeper level than automatically hitting your rotation has magic or a bleed attached to it as a tank
50k bolts on you but oneshots a dps, that's why i think the wa is more for dps spec
Like I said, that's what a oss addon like BigWigs/Littlewigs/DBM is for
Rock DBM and press it when it shouts "Defensive" at you
SV rock boss, all dps are always supposed to take the damage amp clouds or wait exclusively for the shield
Can you link me profile/weak aura/whatever that does what I'm looking for pls? @pallid quiver
we wiped to him somehow
Every big income damage is spell? That seems like too much?
Not at home at the moment, but you'd just run your SR aura and grab the DBM addon of your preferred addon site
There's literally like three tank hits in the game that are only physical right now
Ansurek Feast, specifically the Exploits on Sikran, and the Piercing Strike on Council
Well it says big hit. I want it to say "big spell hit" or show that it is spell incoming on screen
Every other one I can think of has some magic component
Bruh just play the game
what talents are we M+ with. Colossus?
And if you do toss SR on a physical hit, especially on a boss,
Oh well, it's back in 20s
If the boss is casting something
Is the big hit from first boss nw a spell? He literally raises his axe and hits you on the face with it
Press spell reflect
Sure no one will kick the cast you are trying to SR
Same with the fat guys om 3rd boss nw
If it doesn’t sound physical then it’s magic
And like he said if you whiff one who cares
Up again in 20
Feel sad that there isn't wa that just shows it properly. I guess I'll have to guess if it's magic or not. Like is the green ball from last boss ara-karak magic or poison
Look at the dmg number with and without your defensive
Poison is magic
Everything no physical is magic
So everything that isn’t a sort of slice or a bleed
If everything is magic why are there different kinds of dispels?
Because they are sub variations of magic
Everything is magic damage
But slashes and bleeds
Something like gut slice is physical
So slashes show up as a purple number or is that only magic
Do
On default floating combat text
Idk I don’t use combat text
think of those are subtypes of magic based damage, they are magic, but also poison magic etc
If I have a magic dispels and then I get a non-bleed dot sometimes the magic dispels don't work
blizzard isn't the best at consistancy when it comes to debuff classification
there are many magic damage debuffs that are not dispellable
savage assault from rash for example, does magic damage and you can't dispel it
You are just confusing yourself
Magic damage doesn’t mean magic debuff
I remember I was on healing priest and I couldn't use my magic dispels on some dot. Then when I was on my evoking I could dispels the same dot but with a different dispel ability
They made it this way so you actually have to play the game instead of dispelling dot
Magic damage can be a poison, curse, magic or whatever
Ohh so within magic there is pure magic, poison magic, shadow magic, etc
Spell reflect increase dr against the parent magic and all it's children
Yes
Learning so much
Does spell reflect stack with other Dr's? Like if have sr + dwarf dr + shield wall then I will dr 100% of incoming damage?
Multiplicatively, not additively
So 20% dr × 20% dwarf dr = 400% dr
No…….
yes 
pepega has the perfect profile pic
Multiply the damage by 20% then multiply the remaining damage by 20%
Uh yeah
u guys mean well but heck man do you fumble
If one dr is 20% and another is 15% how does it choose which one is used first?
^^^
on account of Maths
I forget the name of the property; is that the transitive or another one?
Hold on I don't think that is true? Let me try
I don't formal math enough
We teaching arithmetics today boys
commutative
You're like a math major or something, right? How does this feel?
me a dum dum
hello dum dum
Feels like job security
Ohh he is right the order doesn't matter
But aren't there some defensives that are flat number
Those are rare
Flat reductions apply at a different point in damage calcs
It’s on some trinkets
very few of them and they make people come here and ask about them every time
They go at the end
and the answer is pretty much always “bad”
COLOSSUS GO BRRRR
Only C-Tier tho
yeah...
Why collass spec when everything says mountain thunder is bis
cuz dam
cuz thane is infinitely tankier
i got my ass ate this key
did not feel safe at all
oh my
He is cos playing as ppal. Do big damage and be squish
so you got to RP as a ppal very nice
I'm not sure how I feel that pepega and I had the same thought at the same time
1.4 is nice dam, sheeesh
does shield block do anything against magic?
So against first dawn breaker boss when she sends her beams then don't touch shield block unless doing spell block too
So complicated
Hee, I've been losing aggro lately on a big pulls like 10 mobs + or even on smaller ones sometime Rouge/Pala or DK take aggro form me. like one mob or smth. I am using heroic leap/charge and thunderclap ASAP and then demoshout an w8 for another thunder. It is getting harder when i have avatar on cd. Can someone explain me what I am doing wrong and how to improve it?
do you hit revenge? And where's your shield charge
Ok last thing - what happens if you have shield block and then you push it again?
dont wait for thunderclap
the duration goes up
send a revenge in there
i send revenge
then idk
i dont have threat issues
only when i try to do fancy shit and im not actually in the pack
duration stacks up to 3x standard duration
shield charge is a problem here (i sometimes forgot to do that) but even with revenge i cannot hold it thight like onee mob or so
If you use 2x shield blocks then does that mean you'll have it recharge twice as fast (since each charge is recharging at the same time)?
to be clear, the duration goes up, you are not punished for stacking uses of SB charges
no
charge systems are always 1 at a time
its not like runes on DK
Facts. Fancy pulls with mobs that are pos and just wanna cast when you’ve no LOS or DK. Otherwise, dat shit mine.
I see. What is the legal maximum % uptime on shield block? Don't think it's 100%?
100% is possible with heavy repercussions
100% is absolutely possible
the goal is % blocked hits not % uptime, they are obviously related though
So as long as there is currency to spend on shield block I should use it because I can have full uptime
that's a fair statement yes
Ohh I've been mixing ignore pains with Shield blocks
unless you know you're not going to be tanking for a bit and would be effecively wasting that charge
so bassicly i do the 4th pull on grim batol (4 mobs near drakes and i pull 2 adds extra on the way forward) I dont know if u understand. And on that pack i loose one or 2 mobs
like at the end of a pack, dont refresh shield block unless you're about to be in the next pack instantly
If you are always taking damage then you should always spend your shield blocks. If both are cd then spend on ignore pain
just keep sb up all the time and use IP to prevent capping rage
this will result in you using plenty of IP
I'll have to reread the wowhead to figure out shield wall vs ignore pain priority list
Sounds like ip much less useful than sw
they’re completely different
like so
you mean shield block right
Yea
but on that chain pull u do
IP is the only thing that’s off-gcd and always available to spend rage
so you press it a lot to spend all that rage you’re getting, and as a byproduct you reduce a lot of damage too
50% dr on ignore pain doesn't seem that bad. Not sure about it overcapping
rage capping is worse than IP capping
overcappable
you can basically pretend the IP cap doesn't exist
just press IP when you have >70 rage
and keep full uptime on SB
that's 99% of it
If you press ip and then rallying shout and then shaman give you 20% hp then is it on current hp or hp when ip was created?
i wrote u on private
i believe the ip value is just chosen based on your max health at time of cast
this is small beans stuff though
But you can increase you hp with last stand and rally cry and shaman gives you 20% so it sounds like a decent amount if IP is getting snapshotted?
yeah it helps a bit, we have a decent number of other effects based on max hp
more stam does give you bigger IP yeah
But is it snapshot or current hp?
but in practice you’re never like, holding rage to wait for a bigger IP, rage income is too spiky for that
if you're doing content where that would matter the ip would evaporate instantly anyway
So if ur gonna raise your hp wait to push ip
this is one reason why certain m+ talent's guides who tell you stam talents aren't useful are full of shit
no because you’ll almost certainly overcap rage in that time
you just press IP when you have > 70 rage
no other conditions
keep it simple for yourself, determine nuance later
you will go so far if you boil down prot warrior to a couple simple rules rather than thinking through these minutae lol
I'm just thinking if I'm already going to raise hp and ip at the same time then try to raise hp first
Thx
yeah you’ll realistically end up pressing it before and after
is there a haste breakpoint where we can take into the fray over HR
35% before any itf stacks
thanks
you'll have some gaps but i'm managing like ~95% with it
like in this stonevault I generated 21000 rage
ignore pain is 35 rage
you press it A LOT
why some people suggest putting that shit on your mouse wheel
I have a weakaura that turns my rage bar yellow when it htis 70 rage, when it turns yellow I press IP.. warrior requires a simple mind 😄
mine glows 
sometimes I get lost in thought and spam it, but it happens 🤷♂️
good news, youll be at cap again in 1 second
yeah lol
r u colosus?
thats the funnier part nope
damn how are u finding time for those reveneges, lol
it’s never too much revenge (unless you’re pressing it when ss or tc are available)
thats the point, I dont have time to revenge hardly lol
certainly am, I'm a bit
for certain
i had 288 revenge, 36 demolish and 339 SS in the GB i just did
I understand more if ur collosus
but brain does as brain wishes sometimes
I'd probably benefit from switching my revenge and SS keybind
trick my pesky brain you see
but now that I've typed it out, it'll know
always watching....
I once moved SS from 3 to 1 and my brain suddenly could not compute
this is the most warrrior conversation ive ever witnessed
ironically my SS is 1 my revenge is 3
I believe that makes us rivals
or maybe here me out
I'm just being an idiot by NOT being colossus
is brain telling me what it desires?
hmmmm
1 more keybind? I dunno fam

i was setting up keybinds to play uh
I'm up to 38 keybinds 
I have a foot pedal, thats how many keybinds BDK has
it was legit 40 binds
brother I always wanted to keybind to a foot pedal, shits metal asf
doing the nuclear missile launch sequence opener (blood deathbringer) with the optimal 5% haste is so fucking ass. I'm glad haste isn't a pariah stat anymore and san'layn is actually viable
I play sanlyn now, I love it
i use 1-5 f g v x e q 2 mouse buttons shift ctrl
blood beast go BRRRR
My cotank is complaining about the swap to sanlayn, brother can't handle anything above 5%
I played with regular mouse for 13 years. I decided to try UDK out as a main in DF, I caved and got an mmo mouse for the first time
shits full on my dk, other classes/specs I have two binds on it
san'layn full haste still 15 less APM than prot warrior
the annoying think about bdk vs other tanks is setting up equivalent binds
SB on war = ??? on bdk
etc etc
Personally sb, one could just bind it in a macro to pretty much all keys and still be able to tank pretty well.
anyone tried this? https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveWoW/comments/1g5j52c/double_dipping_gilded_crests_a_cheeky_way_to_pump/ and got free upgrades on shield?
Since it stacks if recast before it runs out. And if you have enough haste and/or hr
Currently sitting at 10K haste/vers and 7K crit (+ w/e mastery) and about to craft neck 636. Torn between haste/vers and haste/crit.
Curr neck is 2k haste/mastery
OVerall ilvl 611
What is the general suggestion for stat prio on crafts as warrior? 🙂
Wep>shield>boots>waist
If it worked the same with shield wall, it would offer more value
or you are lucky and get waist from 1st raid boss
I have hero track on shield/weap already but neck is 590 so am gonna craft it :p
good neck drops from city of threads
the only competitor for that neck is resto shammy
Haste\crit
go for 17k haste and you will see magic
yes this works
ayt bet thanks alot u tried on wep also. just coming back
the only caveat I've found is it doesn't work if you craft it yourself (on that toon)
the item needs to leave your bags and come back
which wont happen with personal crafts
Does the BRD raid pollute the raid vault slots? I don't want to get brd loot on reset 
yes
get that mythic gearbox POG
is this any good?
hey im new to prot and im starting to get into 14's rn. Just wondering what my statweights should be? Im about 12k crit, 21k haste, 8k mast, 4k vers? is my vcers too low?
nope
just do what the sim tells you to do, haste is your best defensive stat until an absurdly high amount of it
so sim may say, replace haste with crit, because it's more damage, then it's up to you to decide if you want to do that or keep the haste for the gameplay feel and defensive value
most of the time though you're not going to see any appreciable difference between stats, they are all good, haste is just generally better
Why is your leech subpar
How can i find the route used in 13+ ?
I'm having trouble to understand which pack i'm supposed to pull at the beginning of mists
Those are my current pull but my team just die on pull 1, and pull 2 isn't better either
Boys
How do you avoid all the BS around the minibosses in Arakara?
The little green exploders
Can I walk away from the minibosses or will my party get meleed?
I swear I see more deaths around minibosses than I do anywhere else
Fellow warrior friends i have a question im looking for a rasy tank to push m+ thinking about warrior and bear ( I currently play blood dk atm)
Either coordinate knockbacks to get them out as they're about to pop or pull with the intention of not pulling them in to the miniboss
I need ur opinion about which tank is better to push
Either warr and bear are simple but I don’t see many bears doing higher keys wondering what’s the reason
the best tank is the tank that you or the active tanks are best at and are best for the content
Either or, there's currently no limitation between the two
me, im half way between protesting keys and not
once i get the mount im outta her elol
I have 2700 on my blood but it’s hard for me to get into even higher pug groups cuz they take Prot warr or bear or paladin even with lower gear
i hate the timer in keys, its gunna drive me crazy so i refuse beyond whats nessecary
rogue dc for 4 minutes
in a timed event
timed at 31 minutes flat
comes back sorry
i cant do it any more
So I need ur advice which is better to push
whats my leech supposed to be at?
Wrong answer
Hold shockwave for explosion possible
Play Prot war
Man
Hero track gear feels absolutely fucking useless
Why does champion overlap with 4/6 hero levels
it's so dumb
I’m not sure why they did only 6 on hero and myth (between those 2 it works okay) but difference between veteran and champion, where champ overlaps at 4/8 veteran is okay. So it’s only due to that switch from 8 to 6 that it feels “bad”
Could u pls explain the differences why Prot warr has always a spot in m+ instead of a bear?
They’re just performing well atm and easy to heal
Champion should be nerfed next season imo
6/6 for the last 3 tracks
Druid is always solid because of their buff
I guess more CD’s available, with spell reflect on a really low cooldown. Due to thane were even more tanky naturally. Shield block has been and is the best mitigation to physical damage and thanks to spell block we’re doing good against magic damage as well. Warrior was usually the smoothest to heal and easiest, unlike something like blood dk getting spikes of damage
what's the total spark count at this point? like 5.5 or something?
so i was doing the 1st miniboss in DB, the church one. he did his tank smash terrifying slam. that showed up under avoidable dmg though?
that’s fine
Yo who did I have beef with in this discord
let's goooo
need 1 dps and 1 prot warrior for a 4 warrior sv 10 right this moment
We can if you like
guys, any way to macro shield block? with something else,
I've tried Ignore Pain and Shield Block, but it just doesn't seem optimal
not really
Yo 2 min gift of the naaru kinda sounds nice
No, you want control over the buttons that spend rage
Vulpera racial buffed nice
80% slow someone I wonder if that will work in PvP. I do a lot of PvP
is this the right place to post a sim discussion for vault selection?
Pulled 1.25M dps in NW 4 kekw
For prot? Sure
I got the Oppressive Orator's Larynx, High Nerubian Signet (vers/mas) and Axe of the Deadgrove (vers/haste) wep all on Myth track. I feel like they're all useless and I should just take the socket
but I want to make sure I'm not missing somethign w/ the myth wep; my crafted 636 seems just as good, so all I need to do is craft a ring
finally timed cot12, 2 deaths only and 53secs left, feels wrong lol
you'd have 3 embellishes with the ring+weapon/boots
naw I have copies of the ring in there w/ and w/o the embellishment
ah my b, I must be tired lol
since you're running ascendance, did you sim the writhing armor band?
naw; I know Dorki runs ascendance wep and duskthread on shield
may i ask why?
tbh I've never even seen anyone write about it in any prot gearing guides or vods
also I only do M+ just for context
Nomer covers it pretty well on wowhead
Plenty of sources in here for info
But tldr ascendance has an issue with reduced performance in m+, due to things like forced downtime from either RP, wipes, waiting on rezzes, performing skips etc., it's more suited to longer battles like you'd see in raids.
But if you do have decent uptime on it, it's often worth more to have it's effect doubled than to use another embellish.
That being said ilvl is ilvl, and on your weapon it's about the best place to get it for more DPS. ST there's often an argument to be made, but you're going to see bigger gains from weapon ilvl in aoe due to the damage scaling
That's why you see the 639 weapon winning in dslice whereas in ST the crafted weapon embellish does well https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uocU2WVtCwscbNnBQ3JpFT
Did you just pull the entire first room on the boss? lol
For ya'll warriors who are doing +12-15 keys, are you still getting invited to keys or have paladins completely taken your jobs?
what's a good talent manager addon
default ui tbh
need more
We are all meta slaves, we deleted our war and all play pal
has anyone timed a key and it the panda to swap key not pop up?
timed an 11 nw and the panda didnt pop up to swap mine out
Have you mistreated her before? Careful Pandas are quite sensitive, she might be mad at you
getting tired of this bug ridden game
Do prot warriors need more healing than other self healing tanks? Or should we be able to just mitigate enough to self sustain
we should not need a lot more healing attention, no
ive had paladins and enh shamans take over my shit completely
you mean you dont enjoy getting dced every 2 mins and 20 sec lag timers????
you dont like getting blizzconnected??
time to revert warrior buff and nerf it another 5 times just for good measure
None of them are good enough at heroic track to beat something mythic.
Can always sim tho
Like I think flame trident is a decent offhand for fury? I’ve not seen anything prot specific tho
Is "No Stranger Pain" talent in Colossus tree increasing ignore pain's absorb amount cap by 20% or increasing the amount of incoming damage that is mitigated by ignore pain by 20%?
the amount per cast i believe
ah, a 3rd option
Are most tank busters survivable with just shield block + spell block? Or would you need more?
Thinking about keys around +10
2nd question, could anyone help me on how to rotate my defensives? I'm still relatively new to The War Within so my knowledge is very limited.
Not much to rotate
Shield wall > spell reflect and spell block if applicable > shield wall
Avatar demo etc are pretty much sent on cd
Do you prio to use the longest cd first?
Is last stand more of a 'oh shit'-button rather then a defensive you wanna rotate?
I don't know your story but i like what i see
last stand i usually use when i don't have other defensives, because it is not as strong. when you have BSV proc it is a lay on hand though
guys whats a class thats similar to prot warrior but with more self heals
probably bear
but i hate not being able to see my armor :( it feels bad seeing a bear forever
you can turn into other forms when not tanking lol
It’s like you have an answer in mind, and wanting someone to give that exact answer, so you’re not really asking for opinions..
my answer was disc priest but its not a tank
thats why i had to ask
how were you finding disc similar to pwar
shields, health defensives, aoe fear
but i think what i like mostly about warriors that it's rage based
no mana bs or anything
im having trouble self healing sometimes, but i assume i need to focus on stacking ignore pain mostly
with my SB up 24/7
bear has all those except shield. but can CHARGE
druid has rage?
well yeah...
bears use rage silly
My bear is geared around 623ilvl, but haven’t been playing him for few weeks, so was focusing on prot war, after reset I tried doing a quick +10 grim Batol, and damn, I felt much tankier without having to press much things.. made me think I was doing something wrong with my warrior, coz warrior is definitely stronger

bearbear
think its fine rn?
Does someone have advice for me. i do a lot of M+ and i have Foul Behemoth's Chelicera but i wanna know how it is compair to the Molten Furnace from BRD Both on hero track
Very good, but it’s not for everyone, some people find him boring.. I like changing forms and shit
And the insta form change to fly form or travel form when needed is also fun for me
Several people I know who have ran bear has told me "I miss playing xyz"
I mained bear before, so for me, when I’m away from bear for a while, I miss bear
can someone explain to me why every prot warrior i have gets fisted by this add
every siege key my tanks get molested by this add is it that op or are they doing something wrong
does the magic pistol shot from first boss still hurt like a son of a bitch
i seem to recall in BFA it did a ton of dmg
How good dragon spec for pwar?
i have no interest to becom a trogdor any time soon
Is there any way we can cleanse the current m+ affix ?
besides DR yourself, maybe rally, maybe possibly storm shield
even those really dont do crap for the affix
DR?
ah I see ty
typically, it refers to something that gives ALOT of damage reduction
like shieldwall is perfect example, because it diverts so much damage
how big a difference will a 636 ilvl crafted shield make for tanking +10s and above in terms of survivability? I currently have a 619 shield that I can upgrade to 626 but wondering if its best to just craft the shield?
I'm a fury main but I'm planning to tank just so I can pug m+ quickly w/o waiting around
not likely
Jakey is my true love
constant uptime on this tho, no?
Could someone explain spellblock to me, i always felt like its only good against casts but does it also Block other abilitys
its blocks spells and magic abilities (if is coded to block) like u can block melee and ranged blockable attacks and abilities
There is a spreadsheet right
yep
i wish i could spread the sheets
Because i am tanking 12s/13s now, feels like i should know that kinda stuff
u should yep
Is there any written out guides for higher end M+ pushing?
So spell block has nothing to do with spell reflection but rather shield block?
i cant give a person a wow token that i bought with gold from the ah?
since it's soulbound?
nor can i re-sell it?
I think you needed to trade them the gold and then they buy it
fuck
Anybody have an idea on the name of the Weakaura that announces a party member's death and the reason?
i just bought 3x on my account thinkin i could give it them
do i turn into balance and gift them gametime basically?
ye I think that makes the most sense
should be able to cancel/refund no?
you cant refund bought with gold
aah, I thought he bought with bling. I should've read better.
Yes, with Bitter Immunity or dwarf racial or Last stand + Impend Victory
Oh cool, how does last stand + inpend victory work? I just see them giving hp? or does that somehow cleanse it
it just gives you the ability to block spells so you also need normal shield block up to 100% block the spells
Affix is a heal debuff so you either cleanse it or heal it. Both skills heal you.
Can even use heal pot for that matter, but all these are kind of last resort anyway 😁
Ah cheers ty ill prob lasd stand + impend victory so I dont have to retalnet into bitter immunity
Won’t be available for every affix tho 😉
You can't actually use a heal pot for it or a health stone
Guys, the 4th raid boss, is it usual that you get up to 10 stacks of the poison when moving to the 3rd location?1
That's a Details feature, can just enable that
Yes
spell block doesn't block poison ticks right?
It blocks the majority of non-bleed periodic damage iirc
depends if its coded too for that ability
the spreadsheet says Black Edge in Dawnbreaker can be reflected. I tested and it doesn't. now i cant trust it
I know there is a spreadsheet but is there any WA that will “show” the spells that are blockable and refelctable when you load into the dungeon. I know im asking for something specific and I can import to method raid tools for myself each time but if the work is done then I don’t want to reinvent the wheel
Y'all just gotta trial and error the reflects and keep it in ya head
You’re overestimated my ability to remember things
Zug zug to that brother
I walk out of the house without my car keys
if thats the case then tell sense with a log provided of it not working
so the resource can become better for all pwarrs
I noticed a HUGE difference going from the 619 to 636
I've tried to find a formula that shows just how much an ilvl increase to your shield works but I can't
Does that resource exist? I'm just curious
My healer says they definitely noticed — I also went from 619 crafted sword to the 626 bis sword. Two large upgrades.
weapon always matters
whatt flask are u guys using in m+ ? haste? chaos ?
Hey, is it correct that if I have shield block constantly up and press spell block, that the spell blocking lasts for 30s? And does it block all magic damage in that timeframe? Sounds way too powerful
Ok, but still for the 30s duration if you have at least 100% block?
well u need shield block up with it
and u need to face where the spell is coming from
Ok, thx a lot.
got a rotation question:
on single target, when i'm rage capped or will overcap rage if i SS/TC, ignore pain shield is 100%,
what do i do? just ignore pain anyways?
shield block is up and on cd
can i ignore emotional pain?
no

love bricking a key beacuse the adderall addicted DPS can't wait half a second between pulls but also don't do boss mechanics and wipe constantly
the trick is heavy substance abuse

You stand in the webs on ara kara 1st right? Haste buff.
killing skarmorak shards is a net DPS loss
so just ignore them
but also why did you only pull three packs tank is ass
No you point the frontal into the group in NW first boss for dmg buffs. I swapped from BDK to Pwar and these low keys are a nightmare with some of these dps. 12s are far easier than 7s rn for me and it has nothing to do with my gear being shit
if they were just degen meter addicts who are bad at mechanics, I could live
but don't tell me how to route and pull
and don't pull for me
Have people standing on me with shadow orb first boss cot for some reason.
They're probably doing it right. It's a much easier fight for us if the person with the stun is like 2 yards away
Does anyone use Causese's WA dungeon pack w/ the sounds. When i started learning tanking for the first time on prot warrior recently there's now a bite sound that plays and i'm not too sure what it is meant to be warning me of.
What's actual CD on shield wall? Like a min? Give or take
Fine, but how about 0 yards away
Just step forwards
depends on talents
I’m trying to paint the picture that it happens at the end when it goes off. Like little suicide bombers
Yeah I know, like perfect world what's the lowest it could be
Im not actually looking for an answer to the problem of bad dps play, im contributing to the anecdotes.
how much rage can you build and how quickly can you dump it?
I had one in my last key that was 50 seconds. Found another in my log of 43 seconds, and another on the first pull of a necrotic wake at 37
my razer mouse is dying and i see the new ones have new programmable buttons. anyone try to use numbers 6 and 7? are they buttons on the click/right click or do you need to move the scroll left/rifht?
Is grim batol much harder then any other keys? I do not have troubles on literally anything else and batol feels like every fckin single mob have 2 tank busters xD
The only worry is rive and the enforcers sometimes
But like even rive isn't enough to stop us from doing a massive pull
its jut the frontal mobs that you need to SR / SB / Defensive and the Enforcers that you need to stun or soothe
I use a Logitech one. But just push wheel to side :). I have keybind on both very nice xD
Whenever a cast is targeting you iirc
No, it's movember.
Double or nothing.
like a major cast? it doesn't do it outside of boss fights. I noticed it last night when i tanked throngus in grim.
Uuuuhhh
Dunno, cuz i have a soundpack that plays anytime I myself am targeted by any cast
How should I be cycling defensive for bosses that have alot of tank busters like first boss of dawnbreaker, Edna, etc etc. I seem to be struggling with those a bit
What level are you talking about dLux? Send a log maybe?
Depending on encounter length you wanna start with SW as it has an incredibly short cooldown
I'm at around 7s rn, while they don't 1 shot me, they get close I can only imagine higher keys can fuck me up
This is facts. I’m probably just thin skinned but being told where to go and having people pull for me in lower keys where I’m already zooming makes the demon voice whisper, “brick it”
On some bosses however it can line up better with multiple overlaps to use spellblock first
Well in 7s your healers are going to be awful too typically. But the final boss of dawnbreaker being a struggle seems really weird
oh you said first nevermind
You can shield wall every other obsidian beam guaranteed, and you can spell reflect in between
First boss
Obsidian beam
Can spell block the tank buster as well.
Don't forget that spell reflect is a 25% mitigation even if it doesn't reflect the spell
For 2nd boss dawn beaker you can do smth like this
I’ve been holding demo for it on our 12 prog and it’s made it a lot smoother for me. Appreciated this.
You wanna plan your CDs like this for basically every boss that is scary to you
Once you have your plan setup, you're Bing chilling
Have seen that in +16
Both SW charges and Spellblock ready
Nah fam we just proc BSV
Sr only is magic DMG reduction right?
No. Its NNN
NNN is the zoomer meme shit
Movember has an actual good movement behind it
That isn't just haha xd lol
no, NNN is the 2024 meta
You can map them to key combinations. For example, I have the Naga with the 6 buttons on the side. Those 6 buttons are not "mouse button" but rather macro buttons. So you have to bind them to something on your keyboard.
and then bind your spell to the keyboarrd shortcut (which is also a "mouse button" that you assigned it to)
What would you say the effective CD of SW is?
I know it varies based on rage etc but like an avg or something lol
40sec with imp wall when you play well
With defender aegis it's closer to 1min/1min15
As Colossus it's also longer than those
Thanks
spoken like someone who already failed
smh
guys can me and my alliance friend queue timewalk dungs together?
or do we have to be the same faction
I would suggest that you be proactive on this one and just not have friends on Alliance... Zug Zug my friend.
Any trinkets from BRD worth getting?
i met her recently, she might be a baddie irl
who knows, she could be my future wife aswell
qued content is no cross faction
so i cant?
correct
:(
appears to be changing in the next update
you can still do instanced content though
Ah my bad, thought it was something they pushed through and not a future update.
Are they incompotent or just annoying
Yes
They prevently said before the expansion, cross faction auto queues are something they need to heavy work on the code since it is hard coded, we get premade auto queues and PvP premade autoqueues, I’m fine
I don’t think they are delaying the day auto queues are full cross faction since they will be making more money, and we all love money
bros get paid $15/month by everyone playing the goddamn game on top of the expansion $$ itself
People make fresh fkn games for just $60
They win more money if people are buying race changes
Bricked an 11 Boralus because healer died first boss so WW and I had to duo the boss from 35% (ez I aint dying), then healer and mage died in last boss so we had to go again
I can isolate every key I brick to dps/healer errors
All my friends are alliance, for over 10 years
I aint folding
Greenest bestest
We just queue at the same exact second
That’s not about you and red>green
any good prot warrior streamers?
First of all 1) Shrek, secondly 2) Demon steroids
I like to see Kira's and Yoda's youtube M+ videos
But no prot warrior has a personality
There is nothing behind the armor
You got me with Shrek lol
Yes I don’t know any prot streamer who has a soul
But I don’t heavily search someone to watch on twitch so I think they exist
yoda went paladin...
LOL
I don't think my man streams often tho
Once a month
Since you are a pro on shreks what does it mean ? Wtf red shrek racial is
That's like the orc racial (idk its name, its in my avatar), but with more thinking
Attack Power is supreme
nice gave it a follow
One day I’ll do a vulpera and join a furry cult
Do you accidentally hit mouse scroll or mouse click while trying to push it left or right?
I was there, I was vulpera, don’t do it!
But gnomes can’t be shaman and I want to be smol
But Vulp transmogs are so ugly
nah Vulpera actually a solid transmog race, it is difficult to make a good mog for them
Vulpera all around a solid race
best quality of life racials in the game
Vulpera + mail armor type is the hardest difficulty selected
I have seen some cool vulpera hunters and shamans here and there
No you don’t
