since im not welcome in my home anymore
Remember guys, Just because you're living at a house, it doesn't means its home.
And everytime i see your face.. the moon should be jealous
Don’t try to rizz us, get out and see people
Yes father.
ngl i joined the hunter's discord, it was filled with mom baddies
tried rizzing them and got banned in 15mins
Sorry it is Google translated, in France we have that chart
HEHE my age isnt there
You are under 18 ?
He is a Lone Warrior
Im in no bracket it’s a virgin chart lol
If at 25y old you are still virgin you are a lone warrior
Well but once you achieve a title, unless it upgrades you have it, right?
Yes it’s only upgrades
That's crazy, what is the discord link so I know to avoid it
let me find it rq
It comes with no surprise that women in this game wanted to own fluffy pets, does it?
If you are interested to learn some French for culture
This is a good point 🤔
Now I know why my friend was asking what the meta hunter spec is
Did you reply him that you forgot hunt existed ?
im into thailand girls

how often should i be using whirlwind?
As in how long?
is it a lower priority than revenge, do you use it a lot on normal pulls?
You can remove it from your bars
Slam too
haha, it has a slightly longer range than other abilities right, so it's useful when leaving/entering a mobs range?
have a question about swarmlords authority, since i saw it Kirawarr playing it. is it badly simmed?
It’s a defensive trinket
Sims are damage
ah okay so is it goot to have one dps and one tank trinket?
If you want to be super optimal you can use slam on strictly single target but thats about it. There is 0 reasons to ever press whirlwind.
Ofc if you need a defensive take one, just all def trinkets are kinda shit but swarmlord is good in m+
I don't understand this macro. I tried to press it instantly when SS resets mid-GCD but only IP casts, not SS, I have to wait for GCD to end for SS. Is my understanding wrong?
thanks, tanks
okay so if i feel comfortable without one i take two dps, like i don't play above 5 right now, going 10 max
You have too much rage : pressing shield slam will overcap, if you press shield slam and quickly ignore pain you will consume the rage before capping
It’s very minmax macro
Not niche since it happens very often
The macro also helps by trying to shield slam more often so you miss less resets too
It doesn't have to do anything with rage capping because IP is first
mfw im spamming ip every global above 60
Yes I was talking about how you would do without the macro
I would just press IP without the macro, but rage capping is not even the point here
You know I can read the description
Im trying to say what I do with it, where it helps on the side
No
Desc is written like SS resets can be "sniped", as if SS can be cast off GCD like IP
That's how I understood
Both are correct
It isn't casting a shield slam off the gcd
The macro is for cases were you have another button in queue, and you get a reset from devastator and the macro shifts the queue to shield slam
So you use shield slam instead of the button you may pressed before. Also it can help if you have slow fingers and can’t spam 2 buttons same time
Which is why IP should be on a mouse button, nobody @ me
Left click
Scroll wheel is big…. But losing the cam options is bad 🤣
Alright that kinda makes sense
Put cam option on ctrl or something + mouse wheel
Cam options on [ and ]
I don’t use it on wheel because year long muscle memory forbids
Haha
I literally can’t switch my buttons without total fuckup gameplay
Well mouse wheel is stances for me because I’m used to my keybinds not using mouse wheel
Use the key binds which work for you.
I changed the keybind not too long ago so sometime I roll down to dezoom, I keep an inoffensive thing on it until I get used to it
The Strg cam thing is a good idea though, never thought about that
But I always had alt+roll down for extra action button, like shooting with the cannon on second boss of boralus
MwD kick 🧠
should i use vers or crit flask ?
choas
how much dmg is "normal" for a tank. have like 500k ovr in m+ with 605gs is that fine?
Depends on pull size and How Good the dps is
Do you have logs?
Asking "how much dps should I do" isn't really anything to provide help from, too many factors really
But if you have a log there's some easy things to check
CPM, Rage wasted, etc
casual keys +9-10 I pumping around 800-900k in overall
ye there are too many factors to really say a number
In a +10 SV I can get out with 1.2M average where as in a siege its like 900k
anyway our job is not to do dmg primary...so any number is fine if you live and key is timed 🙂
Good damage comes with a good route
Idk about any number is fine, cause your dmg does sort of impact your survival also
Rage gen = defensives
And your dmg helps your rage gen
But certainly not your primary directive, it's just to enable the dps primarily
I want to say, you don't need to minmax and sim your dmg...if you play correct, you live = you pump...thats all xd
How important are weapons?
im thinking i should just craft a 1h and shield and just use it forever while gearing my arms spec out
fairly
Important, but less important than shield
yea good shield is #1
weapon #1
I need help with city of threads second boss. There seems to sometimes be an overlap of the tank soak and the purple ground circles
And for whatever reason I get absolutely clapped
Am I missing something ? Is it people not soaking fast enough the tank group soak ?
idk i just wall every single one and save full ragebar to spam ip
This overlap always happens on the second one. You need to just chill on the first one. And then pop a defensive on the second one, you can also ping to your group where you are moving out of the circle as it's coming out, so you all stay stack and don't panick split.
dont even pay much attention if people soaking or not
Okay thanks. I feel like when I was doing it on higher keys my wall wasn't up for every single one of them but I must be wrong
Spell reflect too gives DR don't forget
y
Always a useful one
So baby why don't you please me now.
wall+SR with full stacked ip i barely take damage

I've got so much i can give to you.
For your love, i'll do whatever you want
Guitar Riffs
So tell me what you want,
And i'll give you what you want.
Babe. Tell me what you want, i'll give you what you want.
Can you judge my transmog?
Yes
4/10. I see what you’re going for but the color matching just isn’t at all there so it doesn’t look cohesive. Chest is also way too low res and looks out of place. Same with the sword. I think the chipped blade (might be wrong name) from an old trading post would be the perfect fit for weapon though
Also the left shoulder with the horns just does not work at all
Wait they both have horns
Your character’s left, not image left
:(
For gloves check out heroic dungeon gloves from legion
I think they’d maybe go well with the shoulders and boots
The pants idk, the color matching is pretty off. Try to find something that fits better with the boots imo, or go with something basic and unarmored like some of the shadowlands pants from Korthia/reps
Or the new mogs you can get with crystals
Don’t see how that’s relevant but ok
I’m never really a fan of dh mogs though, all dh gear looks the same
No. mine is different
We’ll see
im planning on switching to female dh cuz of the metamorph look
1sec lemme mog it, i got new pieces on it
you will Love it
Most of my characters are human female. But my warrior is dracthyr male now. Still working on the mpg for it
Yeah but my main choice for race/gender is based on how the skeleton works for mogs
Which is why I default to human female
Plus I’m an alliance Andy
I’m curious what mogs you have cooked for humans then, do you have a gallery somewhere?
I will take a look when I’m on my PC then
I’ll try to grab them and put them in one message here
No need I will look for your posts in that channel, should work fine
I’m looking for something new so any inspirations are great
@waxen frigate
Wait do you have the shoulders clipped to your bare nipples
Whats the name of that white tabard with gold fist?
Not sure but it’s from the tyr’s guard quest line in dragon flight
Doesn’t take too long
@waxen frigate here is the real one
Lighting is shit but at least an 8 from what I can see
Looks dope. I got the white shield with silver fist. Maybe same quest
Yes it’s the same
The shield comes about halfway through it
Tabard is at the very end
wait let me fix the lightning
Ahh
Get Narcissus and use the turntable function
It’s how I took the better pics in my gallery
Since a lot of those are pretty old pics
Narcissus is an addon, right?
Yeah
kk 1sec
My only question with that is how many pieces from diff sets do you use
Not at all my style/taste but it’s cohesive and has clear vision
Belt, gloves, shoes are 1 set, Shoulders are old tier set, head is a diff, pants are old tier set i think
swords are this expansion

I think the belt is the only thing I’d change but idk if there’s a better one
So I’d say 8.5
YIPPIE
Up to a 9 if there’s a better belt
am i a mog god now?
Yeah that’s much better for lighting at least
Play around with it and you can take really good pics with different poses and animations
I don’t use instagram
when will u teach me how to make a vampire set
Vampires suck
Yes, they suck blood
Nah, that's a myth. They do the scrape and lick
They glitter in the sun
moonlight is light from the sun, why dont they die?
does blizzard default ui show you sudden death procs?
no other than execute lighting up on bar, I made a wa for them myself
hi, i have a question that might be on the stupid side. On the trash on the left as you go to the last boss on ara-kara, how do a warrior deal with that slow/stun combo? (I come from a dh background and we have many jumps, as warrior I have only 1)
is it good to make 10k gold an hour?
really? or are u joking
really that terrible
50-60k
impossible
20-30k semi-afk
be better
guys how wtf

20-30k is insane tbh
yer gunna give my secrets away
50-60k is biased
nobody makes 50-60k an hour unless u buy tokens with irl money
and consider that per hour or smth
lul 50-60k isnt even high my man
theres ppl out there that make millions in an hour
Nah.
Enable the combat UI maybe it shows it, I don’t use it personally tho so I don’t know
Happyjoufllu help 😭
?
source: i made it up
I make 400k in 1 hour each week by just throwing my heroic id
everyone lying here 😭 😭
get herb/mining, do routes in isle of dorn and easy 30k/h with lazy mode
Gotta click faster on those heroic raid VIP boosts then
Or those 4x8 plate stack boosts
Like right now I see a juicy 4x7 plate stack 100 k cut
where to find the routes
im ready to learn mommy
I think it's called Euro
Yes I saw you in goldshire on an Argentdawn char
I wonder if weird French bad words are autocensored
Oh they don’t I guess I will delete that myself

I witnessed the gatekeeper pull but as dps pov for the first time
Glad my friend 3k3 Rio is screaming « Huh » and coughing when he did it in front of me
so how u die?
Any add on or WA suggestions to track other party members major CDs?
Proc 436 cheat deaths, I said to him nice bro
both offensive and defensive
ty
I use omni cd to track my own cds
Happy tried that pull, I lived longer than he did cuz dbts


This tbf.
No stops, dps fault, it was fine in 11, I have not enough insert stat name, lag
Incredibly based
Im searching others bad faith excuses help me
Nothing i love seeing more than being in a 14 ara kara and seeing every crab's cast bar wind up with a big tank buster
Extraction Strike
Ohno it's 4
tactical nuke incoming
You also see only crabs in ara ? You also did too much ovinax so now you didn’t turn it off ?
No I'm just scared of spiders
Spiders but not mutant beetles ?
I turned arachno back on
I'll take a weird crab any day of the week

The Worst for me are toads
Like that gif I don’t like to watch it
Well I can’t explain it, it’s totally irrational and I perfectly know it, you can send frogs gif it’s fine eheh
Like being scared of X animal for absolute 0 reason like some are scared of dogs
It’s ok this one, it’s more looking for too long a frog
It devours my soul maybe who knows
Hey All, I'm working my way through keys, and I'm wondering if perhaps, im using ignore pain too much . force of habit from last patch perhaps. If anyone could take a quick look at my +10 grim. and let me know any obvious areas for improvement. it would be much appreciated . I don't take spear, mainly because i like having a snap aggro on a 45second CD. But when comparing my logs to others. i see my revenge dmg is really low. so maybe if i fix that, i wont need to do the roar. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/dX4YVqfLMDmbNRt1#fight=1 .
Are u dieng?
Kek, better to boost
What druid bring to farming except mount mining without having to spec into it ?
not yet, but its only a 10
nah it can only herb
u need the node for mining
Like what a sky golem do basically
U are tank not dieng is pri 1
But in gen i think ss and ip should be close to same
Your rotation is a bit off
Aswell as only having 37 avatars in 31 minutes
Should be closer to 50 avatars in 31 minutes
So you're missing out on rage generation
This gap here is a little weird
You activate avatar
Spend your TBs and then spam revenge despite TC 100% being ready
Similar issue here
You just afk for alot of time
Because you probably overspent on ignore pain, you didn't get SS resets so you had to afk
He rage waste too
how long is gcd is it 1.5 sec actually
ok
He's closer to 50% haste meaning his gcd is closer to 1sec
And is capped at around 0.7, Nomeratur can maybe say the number
I see, i never looked at my timelines, thank you for that.
For example here is my casts timeline
You can see a clear difference
In how much shit is being pressed
There's alot more going on in mine
Or here in a slower one of mine
Generally you have the issue of not pressing buttons fast enough or overspending to then have nothing going
Need to setup better keybinds or pay more attention to your buttons
Make sure ignore pain is on a VERY easy keybind like F or E or smth like that
My IP is on my naga mouse 1 , i think may too easy for me to press, so im spamming it
If you’re keeping your generators on Cd and not munching procs you kinda do have to spam it
but those dead periods i really wasnt aware of, ill think about it more
Im conscious spamming IP

Now that I’m decent at prot. I wish I could go back to shadowlands and play it
When I first started wow
When you got few resets of ss you can start to « overspend » but you need to be at around 50-60 to be able to revenge if you are in the need to chase a reset to restart the cycle
i wish i could mine while im still in my druid flight form
Any idea why sometimes my log looks like that? All encounters seem to be there, but it's not linked to the specific key and information is weird (buff uptime etc. doesnt match reality). I manualy start and stop the log file, can that be the reason?
you didn't enable advanced combat logging in wow settings i think
that search bar is a godsend
Is there a BiS gear guide that only includes Mythic+ and crafted gear? And excludes the raid gear?
if it excludes bis items it can't be a bis list
i mean there is one for m+ gear on wowhead
which is best items from m+
but bis lists are literally things of the past
no such thing really anymore
Well, if I don't do the raid in Mythic then the BiS list is useless ;o
I only do Mythic dungeons, not the raid.
Remember when Alliance had a different BiS list because of hit racial from space goats effecting non-space goats in the party
Yes just hit the droptimizer, and sim your vault
Don't know what that means :o
real lore
Is there a website as well?
Oh wait, that is a website, nvm
Thought it was an app ;p
It’s activated, and most of my logs are fine, indicating key level, parse, etc. Just sometime it’s « unknown zone »
No it’s raidbot but I’m on the phone
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7VmAhLb5FxGPKjwbgWzu4B
i don’t know if you can see this droptimizer if you are curious what it looks like, i did as fury but it’s same logic
Sims does not calculate survivability tho, def trinkets sims worst since it’s not their point to do dmg
It’s an old one I’m 630 now in fury
Old one, I read it’s just last week lol
I'm 627 still but lack gildeds and some upgrades
And I have gilded waste spent in two specs, 180 are 1 hand and shield, 90 are 2 handed craft
Any numbers on how much the patch effects prot?
I mean every patch/tuning im glad the warrior part has no prot sub section
Don’t touch anything blizz pls
not even touching with buff?
Not even buff because it can be followed by a nerf the next Friday night
running my warrior on prot loot while i wait for a hero shield to drop. still using my 590 shield and starting to feel it when i do +8
i have zero luck with shields
You can do a battleground and craft a 610 i guess if you really want a slightly less shit shield
ive been told that but ugh..
then craft it? I mean you have a free crest from the ansurek storyline
that is insta 619 shield
cant use spark on shield cuz my main spec is dps
And reputation free 619 if you are into that shit
We have 6 sparks total tomorrow
who said you can't use the spark on shield though
you got 6 by tomorrow and you can't even spent just 1 for shield?
A buff for us and a nerf for Ovinax would be nice
Well tbh I would not spend a single spark on a spec that doesn’t interest me that much
it's not about interest happy, I think he is forced to do prot because well nobody accept warrior dps in M+ now
Not really, you can already 2 tank the boss with only 1 mass grab
so the problem is. i dps on my friend group. we got everything including a tank but when i pug i like to tank lol
ok guys time to see how much money i made from mining/herb in 50mins
Mommy calculator is up.
Don’t’ craft a shield then just wait you loot one
yep have been and the wait is long
You don’t need a thick shield to do 10s so anything you can upgrade to 606
I am on the opposite on this one, just craft shield. Boots kind of everywhere, because shield will impact your tanking a lot more than a boot. Way more.
Do you have finished the delve season bar ?
yeh
Where you can buy 584 items
yep
I don't really understand the website ;o
It says I need Premium to sim all dungeons
Maybe you can buy a shield and upgrade it to 606
Massive L
really?
ye
That’s so bad
i mean i was leveling them, they were lvl 0
didnt know thos upgraded to 606
You can make like 100k/h by boosting keys
im sure with t3 mats they'll be way more
ill grab one in a bit
how do i make more guys
Oh yes sry I forgot, basically it shows what I need to loot to have a dps upgrade
i want to make my first 1mil gold
Then start flipping in the AH or boost people
I can't boost, no team 
Sell carries
You dont need a team tho
do people really buy dungeon carries
You only need 60 € in EU
Think you could run a sim for me? :o
yes gib 60
he can't
I mp you
Yes
Yes and they pay a absurd amount for one dungeon boost as well
because simming from blizz profile is not accurate, sometimes it's not updated fast. You might be better addon simcraft to your game then copy the code and sim it yoruself.
Prob depends on the community
This all seems very complicated ;o
Like 2800 to boost a 10
But you should have 2.7k at the very least
Depends on the community
I just want to know what to grind on m+10, vault and crafted x)
i assume prot warrior would be easier to reach 2.7k with than a vdh, right?
yup
or do vdh get more tanky with better gear
Whatever you’re good at will be easiest
Invite wise warrior will get picked more on average
i mean i enjoy vdh more, but if i want to survive on my own i do it better as a prot warr
yeah
To be fair this is just my assumption
everyone does
only reason i like vdh is cuz of the self heal tbh
its pretty much insane
but having a shield is way better
Why not BDK then
because 0 mobility
They ruined bdk imo
but this assumption kind of correct no? If those youtubers/streamers make tier list "Prot warrior on top today." even the +4 will want prot warrior when there is multiple tank apply.
- same with prot pally
prot pally wotlk-cata was fire
retail its meh
Yeah exactly
Average pug brain blindly follow YouTuber
Yeah pally sucks since it got holy power back
but ngl, vdh as a booster class would lowkey be good since it pumps more damage than warrior, no?

prot pal
well, you gotta make up for a missing party member no?
@ that point
And yeah prot pal is the best choice if you play it correctly
For context we timed a 10 aka with a tank at 1M dps and two dps at 1.8m
Didn’t even need the 3rd dps
idk i tried prot pally, its so boring
usually they play with you
On mine it’s 2k700 to see the boosts 10s but the advertiser choose who are picked (you are not picked in a 10 if he doesn’t know you and you have 2k7)
vdh/pwarr felt the best for me
how's this boosting then 
But even if not, you can easily time 10s with a missing dps
they just pay for a guaranteed time?
for a complete mostly ye
Not all, but most from my experience

i'd only waste my gold to see Yam happy
Well, nobody forces them to play
You will go crazy that most people who took boosts it firsts weeks actually played in their boost
Like 2 days ago we easily +2'd a +9 SV as 4, would been 2 chest in a 10 too
I just don't see how it's any better than pugging at that point
run your own key, be picky on who to choose
do people actually buy boosts for +10s
Guaranteed high rio players
thought the money was selling title boost
You need to have a ton of free time on your hands to actually make gold from boosts, you basically sit in a lottery trying to get picked for a boost run and most of the time you just sit there not getting picked
Nobody wants to be boosted by 2.5s but usually take 2.9+

You’d be suprised
I would
People buy anything really
theres a market for everything
People buy everything in wow
theres people buying delves
but the margins are worse
Well imagine you are hard stuck but think you are good player, you can pay to play with top 10 tank, top 10 healer, 2 top 10 dps (it was largely the case of boosts in the first week)
Levelling services too
Nothing is only earned anymore
This is harder to get into
All you need to do is prove youre competent
You can even buy M+ title
You prob need a tw character
No idea, never checked strats
But likely yeah
i think im joining the dark side guys, and going vdh
I have a friend who does it and he leveled me for a bit
I could do that but I ain't paying 300k for it
are we talking +11 or just the +8s?
He did brazy time walking dmg
my condolences
300k ? It’s was one more 0 for a boost 12
8s
for real ppl buy +8s? O_O
yeah delves boost is crazy to me
was talking about 10s mostly
I haven't timed all 10s yet
it's fine grouping if I tank but I wanna play fury :(
I mean +8 sure maybe a bit long if undergeared but... there is no timer and anything
people buy anything
some people cant be bothered to find a group. Or they want a armor stack
and to get more loot
It is 300k now, it was over 1 m the first week
makes sense if you spend a lot of your ingame time playing the AH or crafting
but delve armor is not tradable right? or is it soulbound but tradeable in the limit time?
some people have multiple gold caps... what else they gonna spend that gold on?
spent on bruto
You get egirls with hero title
TRUE
100%
ngl i'd boost a girl for free just so i can be near her
nothing personal kiddo
GET OUT OF HERE.
my egirl thief..
Hello gentlemen, I am new to tanking and wanted to get your help. If you can analyze this log please let me know what I can do to improve.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/nHgKFv2qc6JD7aNB#boss=0&difficulty=0&type=summary&source=80

Is there something specific you are struggling with?
Analysing m+ logs is kinda vague.
Your blocked hits is fine - 87%, can always improve on this, but it's not disastrous.
You wasted 3k Rage, that's a lot. Be sure to use IP (it's off the GCD) to avoid rage capping.
Can't say much about casts, as NW is a big travel time dungeon.
Thunder Clap does seem to be on the lower side.
I guess just anything general you see. I started tanking maybe a week ago so everything is still new to me. Also new to pve in general.
What do you mean by wasted 3k rage? Is that just capped rage?
you generated 3k rage while at rage cap, therefore not getting it
so could've had close to 3k rage worth of more ignore pains
I died around there i believe. Just messed up on mechanic i think
just standing in a swirl?
also didn't purge/spellsteal dark shroud
also, why dont you press your racial XD
Oh, no I didn't die to that guy. What does the log say happened there?
Is there a wa that tells you which spells are reflectable/able to blocked or just use the table??
Ah, i switched macros and forgot to put it in. Good catch! thanks
died rom Death Burst from Narzudah
Im using a WA, I hit reflect every time it pops up
in the future though, for sure have Spell Block for that guy; looks like you casted it 1:20 before you died so I assume you used it elsewhere?
Learning the abilities and everything will def help know what abilities to use and when
I try to use rage for defensives, but I guess I need to execute more.
Jundies nameplates has an indicator that something is sr’able
the other death looks like you took a necrotic bolt to the face
then got cleaved 3 seconds later
If it’s both on you and able to be reflected, and spell reflect is up
The cast bar will be a dif color
you want to always prio Shield Slam and Thunderclap
its ok to spend rage on revenge and execute
What's the name of the wa, I'd prefer not to mess with my nameplates if possible
but a lot of the time you will be pressing your generators and will need to dump rage to stop overcap with IP
He got necrobolted while being boneflayed ? I’m on phone I will not check logs on phone today sry
I got the WA called spell reflect essentials. I am using Quazii's nameplate profile
👍
Original WA: https://wago.io/IkerOKywU Tells you when to reflect in Dragonflight dungeons and raids. Triggers only when
It’s a classical death
I tried messing with one from df and said it was outta date hopefully this one works lol
Sup boys
Looking for tips and tricks to get all my 14s timed. Any small tidbits of advice you think I may have missed?
Even small tactics you're using during certain keys that have helped you a lot
When the tank is finally using cooldowns #worldofwarcraft #warcraft #thewarwithin #warwithin #mmorpg #mmo #gaming #wow
i seen this shit the other day, i love these type of wow shorts
Never let your health fall to 0 😉
no, i dont know which movie that dude is from
Great tip man
the zoolander sequel
thought so, wasnt sure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DPTkCaTKPI speaking of tips, i have just the tip for you, for castlevania
How to get down the hallway before the Grim Reaper in Castlevania
#nes #mikematei #castlevania #retrogaming
that one pain in the ass hallway
i need just the tip but for keys in wow
Just tanked silken court, you taunt swap on the big boys piercing strike, but the other tank you just taunted off of is supposed to take the little guy right?
Is prot paladin actually a lot better than prot warr in keys? Everyone I get in my 12s just dies every run.
I feel like I’d rather have the stability of prot warr
People just like them because it means the rest of the group has to interrupt less. And the average player base is lazy and greedy
Prot pally does more damage and is at least as tanky
But also harder to play so finding a good one is hard
It has better utility and does more damage
Gotcha that makes sense
But you need to filter good players and mindless fotm followers
Yeah I feel like it is infecting tanks at all key levels, so there are a lot of bad ones right now
from what I’ve been told from prot pallys, it’s a bit squishier than warrior
Which might be tricky, like picking the good arcane mage before
Surely they would ever admit theyre playing the best tank 
If squishier but survive the same packs it’s just better
I mean
Tank survivability isn’t an issue
Doesn’t mean it can’t be squishier
Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive lmao
Pal just brings better utility for the group
Yes if both can do same packs, but pal prot is squishier but more dmg and utility pal prot is better tank overall
Dunno, in high key streams it doesnt look any squishier at all
Pretty much the same
Not like it matters anyway
Is there some mechanic to Umbral Rush in Dawnbreaker? Sometimes it absolutely trucks me and other times does nothing
It’s funny pugging 12-13, I swear like 80 percent of the keys are bricked by tank deaths
Really? I feel like it's always bricked by dps not pressing defensives
ppal mitigation is weaker at its core and their cds are comparatively a bit weaker outside of bubble
(Heal main perspective)
I don’t think between guardian, war, pal there is a actual tanking issue, I can’t talk about vdh, and monk I know…
Healers I talk to often say that tanks die super often
Nah... tanks are fine for me
I think the problem with tank deaths is you tend to full wipe if it happens
Which is close to auto brick
Dungeons are really harsh on tanks but if they die super fast, switching between all three I said will not change that much
I have a prot warr alt that is around the same keys as my mage, and I don’t die that often on it, like you guys said, I think the fotm bad prot pals are a huge bait
But there’s so many people playing it
There are also many bad pwars
Happens
Just like you will sometimes see an rsham that cant heal any mechanic
Yes because pwar was fotm two weeks before
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ran a 10 last night while playing fury, ppal walked in to a pack, flops over. brez, flops. we reset and try the pull again 2 more times
flop
flop
Was funny as shit
Active mitigation not bound
Can anyone recommend a full max dps prot build for low m+?
Well rerollers are now learning to play pal prot so you might see some mistakes
Im helping my friend who got a prot pal alt, he might have the best group in the world still grim is a big no no, we burst to laugh each time
Is there a reason vers sims so high in multi target/dungeon slice? Because there’s like crit/vers jewellery pieces that Droptimizer suggests that are like 3% dps increases
best prot weapon enchant?
Send me the report
also looking for the same answer
im looking at wowhead but i cant seem to find anything about the enchant
ik its probably a minor thing
but eh figured id ask
found it
That’s crafted gear
i still have to do last weeks crafted gear
Why would that matter? I was just saying Vers gear is simming weirdly high for me and all that gear has crit/vers instead of crit/haste
You selected crit vers, every single piece here is crit vers
Yes and the crafted ring/necks (that are crit vers) are 2.5% dps increases from my current rings/necks (which are either crit/haste or the raid ring)
Give me 5 min to go on my pc
last sim because i noticed you have gathering cloud (wrong talent)
both are dps decreases in both dmg profile
Sorry I don’t understand what you mean
anyone have any tank alert weakauras for m+ for bosses ?
I resimmed in a top gear, and not in dungeon slice because like the warning says, it’s not built for prot war, the neck and the ring if you recraft them in crit vers is a dps decrease
And you get free 1.3% dps if you change a talent (don’t take gathering cloud which is in hero tree)
Hi. So I have recently returned last week, and I normally play prot warrior or BDK. (I generally play m+)Right now I'm torn between the 2 and have gotten both to 80. How is prots damage and feel right now? Is there anything prot can do that blood can't? Just general tank feel and balance right now
I’d say prot is now the go to unless you go prot pala, feels pretty smooth, cds are up almost all the time. If you look to push higher keys go prot otherwise whatever you enjoy more
prot warrior is notoriously stable tank when played well
the key issues with that statement is "played well"
I generally pilot prot and bdk pretty well, having gotten both to 20+ keys in the past. How is prot's damage?
Damage are nice, also we got a nice priority target dmg profile with SS
ppal is grossly overperforming, but all the other tanks are pretty balanced in terms of damage, if you're picking between bdk and prot war it's merely a matter of preference
i don't think "grossly overperforming" is true but sure
The damage is broken af
Compared to pwarr it can feel squishy though
Pwarr mitigation is op
Each tank has its own op-ness aspect
I mean if you take the absolute top performers average across say the top 10 ranked by DPS, there's nearly a 20% diff in overall DPS in some dungeons
The burst windows during wings are insane
Almost dps level
Just started gearing my prot pally, currently 619 and just pugging some 8-10s. When you do 4m DPS in some pulls, the dps players can barely keep up if at all
Except boomies and ele shams, nothing feels better than seeing me in third dps and those two tripling my numbers
Sorry to bother! A quick question: Can a Warrior also block magical spells from a boss like a Paladin, without using Shield Reflect/Spell Reflect? Since Paladins have that Holy Shield block passive.
Tbf, nobody can honestly say prot pala's dps is "fine". It's way higher than most other tanks.
But, I won't be calling for a nerf, they can have their fun 
spell block, 30sec buff with 90sec cd
dats it
Maybe it is to compensate for the squishiness though?
Make stuff die faster
so the tank buster from first boss in city of threath for example we cant block passively?
That one is half and half I think
oh thankyou!
So block works on the phys part only. If I'm not confusing it with another boss
A normal warrior “block” doesn’t block magic, for pally it’s a talent iirc
Oke thanks alot guys gonna check the google docs
But tbh I also expect their damage to be nerfed soon
honestly I hope not
Half a season of fotm was already bad enough
but dmg asaide what about the healing to teammates thats also nuts
if you gathers some stacks of that shining light and use that on aoe dmg and alike you can help alot
You can oom a lot too
Yeah but usually you spend the word of glory on yourself
Unless someone is about to die
oh ye i went oom indeed haha
true
most OP about prot pala i think is for example i did pug a siege +10 first time tanking in tww im usaly playing ret 2600 io and i could almost interupt everything myself 😛
Yeah that’s also very nice😄
healers are like were is that dmg lol
yeah, turns out slamming a shield in someones face only interrupts them if you also preach about the light at the same time
And apparently that's just OP as fuck
Good point yeah, they could make SS interrupt
Also if you use divine toll you have an auto interrupt every 5sec for 15 seconds
oh ye ofc thats cool
SS interrupt? Well there should be internal CD on that passive if exist, cause we be spamming SS like crazy with Thane
Yeah, at least Warri has a good aoe stun on a short CD
Might be too OP with all the procs yeah. Though maybe it would total into the same number of available interrupts as pally
paladins doing +18 now is see. Do you guys think its the dmg that they bring that makes this possible? if warrior is more sturdy but lags the dmg than that makes sense
Hmm I dunno. I still do more dam on war than prot.
Really? Same ilvl?
Yes. 628
Then you’re doing something wrong with pally I think
I'll break a mil on both depending on key. But with evoker I've been over 1.3 on war. Can also break a mil on dh but dh is way lower ilvl just squishy af.
Maybe not as good on pally.
Vengeance has the biggest burst.
Also war has 639 weapon whereas pally doesn't.
Auto-Melee is not a huge part for pally but it scales big with stats
you have to be playing paladin wrong
idk
that class can burst for 4m at 600 ilevel
except wings is 40
Probably not that much, maybe one should look into Yodas runs on warri, pally and DH for exact same key
Then you probably have a comparison with very correct play for all
Even sanlaiyan dk can be in the over million range but they fall over dead.
I've been 1.2-1.3 on war in 11s but not hitting that yet on my others, assuming get there eventually.
U should outdps your war with palla, assuming u have equal gear skill , do equal pulls and have equal groups , as group dps affect yours also
Warri is very consistent dmg without huge burst phases imo
Pally you have big burst and mediocre off time
But overall should still be higher
Yea but as paly u have your burst so often that those phases without CD doesnt even matter realy
now that i rememberd you can LFR on low lvl for BRD bronze might be finished by tonight
what are you guys loot speccing as? I feel like anytime I set to prot all I get for loot is shitty tank trinkets over and over again
you are playing the class wrong
War and Pal DO bring the same amount of damage to a meta comp with enh/dk, thanks to bshout. But from self contribution paladin does a lot more damage.
Given that, is the only reason paladin is chosen for their group utility?
kicks
LoH, off-heals, immunities, damage reductions, kicks, …
the kicks allow a priest healer with no kick
and the PI increases group DPS by significantly more.
I see
The ppal burst also helps with larger pulls by taking out prio targets faster than warrior's more evened out damage.
As nome said, as long as pally can survive the key, and is doing reasonable amounts of damage, they are the best tank
Because of the paladin toolkit
Take away the toolkit entirely, you still bring the class that does 10-20% more dps
They live and do damage, it's not that deep
I have a question about siege of boralus. The shredder trash, is there any way to avoid their frontal?
Do you guys know of any streamers/youtubers that I can watch to improve my gameplay?
Sometimes there's good guides on the tube
From streamers you can only learn prot pally right now lol
They arent extra healthy so focusing them isnt probably worst idea if they give you hell and they can be stunlocked also , probably not enough to kill but long enough to reduce number of casts
Prot pally is a snooze
Hmm I’d say it’s more complex than warri
There are many streamers doing warr still, like kira, idk if nome still streams , "infamous" yoda still play war time to time
I'll rephrase. I personally find prot pally boring to play as.
Way deeper, Warri is spam SB, IP and use a def CD if needed
But watching a streamer in pro group that is oragnized and does almost zero mistakes wont help you much imho
Ah okay
The jumping and charging and intervening and is just so much fun in my opinion
True
If you're looking to improve at Prot War specifically, your main consistent options are Nome and Sense. Sense is mostly only vods on Youtube.
If you want to learn how to tank as a whole better, you can watch any of the higher key pushing tanks people mention, like Yoda, Dorki, etc
Just keep in mind that what you see in their runs is completly different game that 99% of people play
Sometimes Yoda goes pugging with his alts
perfect thank you!
Do we only use champ spear when avatar is available?
Unless u have like special use for it , just send
What's it mean in the FAQ when it says champion's spear is meant to be used together for unstoppable force?
Don’t take spear if you’re not taking spears talents
And the main reason for the above statement is that the top pushing tanks usually aren't the best at their given class; we've noted many notable mistakes or misconceptions they've had via logs. They're not oushing the hoghest level keys because they're the best Prot War; they're pushing those keys because they're doing the universally necessary things to time the dungeon the best in their groups
sorry i don't understand. Unstoppable force is the avatar talent. From that it sounds like they want you to pump the 2 thane thunderclaps while spear is out. Maybe we dont hold if there's desync but when they collide to make sure you hit that AOE burst?
Also just shows that at some point maximising class skill is not worth it apparently. Of course they are still good at the class though
If u can u pair them all together , like avatar, demo shout ( thanks to talents) spear ravager trinket , whatever you have , the more the merier , but u dont wanna hold spear because u have avatar in 20-30sec , or vice versa
Usually it’s also those guys getting the 100 parse and not the self proclaimed class expert
That's because they're the only ones doing that content oftentimes
If you're literally the only person doing something, then yeah, you're the best at it.
You're also the worst at it.
Parsing in raid for the absolute top normally is deciding by padding, as well. You need to take PIs from classes that can get more out of it, you need the rest of the group to intentionally let you hit things more, and the like. What's more notable is the 100%s Nome's gotten with just a friend passing him PI
Like, again, they're usually not like, mega bad at the classes; tanks really are not that hard to play
Agree but let’s not forget that dps classes are often even dumber
But there's players better at specific classes who don't push because
They don't push
Looking at you 4-button boomy
quicker just to do the last wing of LFR on lots of alts get 8 per run
not really, you fill up by killing elites
inbetween all 3 bosses on wing 1
wing 2 not so much
and you kill and loot those mobs get 2 per loot
dno i spent a few hours jumping between my alt army tanks/healers and had 180 tokens
God damn
I have only 3 80s
629, 624, 619
Unfortunately I started this season on the class I kinda dropped now (the 629 one)
ye
It’s 8 per Ansurek? Or 8 per Thausarrian?
Ansurek gives you 15
once
the last wing of LFR BRD gives you 8. 3 for each boss + 2 for one mini boss
Alright then I know what to do tomorrow
and it takes like 10mins
If the char can grab the weekly near the anni zone, as well, you can eke out 3 more for killing Dagran from the quest
Playing itf even with 22k haste feels so scary
There’s a few times each dungeon where sb falls off for like…1-2s and im just clenching
Do keys just kind of feel awful this season, or am I misremembering previous seasons? A single missed interrupt on a web bolt in a 14 city of threads kills someone, and I don't remember individual casts going off ever being so punishing
nah that's about how it's been
It's just that there's even more mobs that do that now, and it's harder to stop them
Since a lot of mobs will just instantly re-cast if AOE stopped
I have been nothing but dps since I’ve played this game for 15 years and the last 8 years of that was all warrior. I’m thinking about getting into tanking and changing it up. What tips do people have for this?
blizzard things, it's their kind of "fun"
press buttons fast, don't drop shield block
The actual act of playing Prot War isn't really too hard, and you can hold W through most keys
The only things you need to worry about after that is actually using your defensive abilities to mitigate without overcommitting defensives or undercommitting
Ngl I feel like pressing all buttons very fast is probably not gonna get u a bad result as a prot warr
For some of the logs and people we see in here,
it would literally be an improvement.
i still have that horror btw
fast if i go as healer
I was pumping prbbaly 120-130 cpm the other day in GB 13 during BL while my wife and her friend were watching
They were like no way you know what buttons you're pressing
90 revenge presses but not one went off🤣
its an option select
revenge only goes off if he has the rage
lol thought it was just me who plays like this
i feel like its how the class works because i literally end up doing the same thing
and its the only spec that i do this with out of like 5 different specs i play
There are certain pulls where im constantly hitting ignore pain since it gets deleted so quickly
I prefer to just look at or “feel” my rage instead of randomly pressing everything at once 😄
Yeah warrior is super fun
lol ultimate male fantasy. Lucky man
But how are you able to see you CPM?
Just wild guess, definitely GCD is less than 1 sec and I was pressing way more than GCR
is there anything wrong with setting a "priority" on like SS, TC, Shield Block, IP, and Revenge and like strumming your keyboard?
like what if you just press 123 123 123 every gcd
It's less than optimal since you'll eventually clip your rage generation somehow
But it'd probably be better than how some people play the spec
The biggest issue would be that you're dedicated too many presses to just attempting to do your rotation that trying to swap to doing utility/mech related stuff will be hard
yeah i suppose a big drawback is you cant like
move one finger to your next gcd
while u are pressing your current one
I can't even play another tank at this point
Too much has become reflex
I put AMS on BDK in the same bind as SF
And walls the same I guess, BB instead TC works
Vampric instead LS
Bring back heroic strike on swing timer
this
Idk about that, but what feels really good on the fingers is having shield block on F2 and IP on F3, or just right next to each other
Idk if I’m wrong about it being on swing timer but I think there was a specific reason I used thunderfury on main
my current setup is (Q) SS, (E) TC, (R) Shield Block, and (F) IP
Mine is 2 and 5, because I used to play Protadin and 2 was my shield of righteous and 5 was my Wog
SB and IP on Mousewheel up and down. ❤️
Lmao
Right next to each other hmm
Fair, I actually also tried setting up “logically similar” keybinds for all my tanks but somehow deviated from that by now
A is shield block 3 is ignore pain
1 TC, 2 SB, 3 SS, 4 EXE, 5 IP, Q REV
Once you remember all, it doesn’t matter anymore anyway luckily
IP and Revenge should be next to eachother i think
1 ss 2 revenge 3 ip 4 clap
A is insan
i used to not have WASD bound to movement when i played rogue
But for example my IP is on the same spot as frenzied regen and word of glory
Good efficient keybind to hit every 10 s
Ironfur same spot as shield of the righteous etc
strafe left and right were M4 and M5 (no forward or backwards movement bound)
Q w e are my movement keys. Everything else is mouse
this is how i know u only play wow
league doesnt count
You're like the wow version of a manic pixie dream girl
who else F charge shift F taunt?
is this a compliment??
Same, I never tried putting strafe on A and D instead. I think I can’t get used to that
its good. it frees up your entire keyboard for binds
