“you will be doing way more dmg than before”

#

icant

tardy abyss
#

Please tell me he is not aware of the previous nerfs

cyan bronze
#

he uh

#

did a video on it

#

and now seems

#

unaware of it

#

so idk???

tardy abyss
#

Might wanna drop a comment

#

Baiting people into this is really bad

#

I’ll have some yoda Stan shitting on me now

#

but w.e

tardy abyss
#

Who cares

#

I can't imagine him having a lot of fanboys tho

#

Really boring to watch imo

dark barn
#

Maybe the class feels slow and sad but actually works... sha did +12 floodgate and posted a video about. And he did it before the last buffs

pallid quiver
#

We've said that

#

the entire time

#

As long as 100% SB uptime is a thing, the spec will be fine

#

Block is ridiculously strong. You can have literally zero IPs and still live in even M raid as long as you block

lilac basalt
#

maybe they want us to use IP before a big dmg instead of having it all the time?

pallid quiver
#

That's their stated intent.

None of their adjustments achieve that.

#

So if you take what they said as their reasoning for changes at face value, that's what they intend, since they want you to think about when you use IP more instead of just sending it so often

#

As it stands, you still really make the same decisions

just slower

#

IP also isn't really good at reducing single big hits, aas the main benefit of partial absorbs in the vein of IP is to help slow damage intake over time so that other functions of the spec can recover (Indom, FbV if you have it, the leech in class tree, etc)

lilac basalt
#

yes and even though I tried to keep it up most of the time, I sometimes decided not to refresh it but spend rage on execute or something when there were only a few mobs left (in m+). I might be wrong to do this but still, I didn't feel forced to spend it all on IP

jagged pier
#

If he actually thinks this, it just shows he doesnt actually understand the class, and how the changes have fully effected it

#

or that VDH is a thing and ppal is a thing

jagged gust
#

I mean

#

we knew that already

jagged pier
#

I dunno man been told alot hes correct because he has big io

jagged gust
#

The title is just bait btw, he barely even speaks on protwar

#

"Is protwar good? They got buffed but idk lol ppal still go brr"

#

in essence

cerulean tusk
#

Ye, what he says aint wrong - it just gets a bit out of context due to clickbait title

#

Do we do more dam with the buffs on the PTR, over the build before? Ye, sure. Will it make us meta? Nah, ppala still a thing - gg ez, seems to be the gist

mighty valley
#

i really don’t care if we end up meta, i just hope it doesn’t feel like ass by the time they’re done with the patch

cerulean tusk
#

Well, it likely wont feel much better than what it does right now. They kinda want it to be like this, so meh?

#

Just number tuning now, and that wont make it feel better/worse, other than in dopamine brain numbers on screen

#

Maybe we get another 10% stamina buff to compensate, who knows

mighty valley
#

rage number tuning can affect how it plays though, right

cerulean tusk
#

Ye, but they dont want us to have more

#

It is supposed to just barely get you through the rotation, and giving you a little drip of excess rage to use your IP stratigically around

#

Atm, it kinda works like that

mighty valley
#

that sounds fine tbh if they actually land there

#

but if i experience a dead global

#

I’m calling my representatives

cerulean tusk
#

You only do atm, if you didnt pool your rage

pallid quiver
#

don't worry, next update will remove SS for you specifically, Harrow

mighty valley
#

it’s gonna be a while before i can play anyway on account of my house burning down

#

so idk why I’m even invested right now

Once a warrior, always a warrior

hoary glen
#

well i think i'm rdy for wednesday

jagged gust
#

such a pretty vault

hoary glen
jagged gust
#

Looks like the highest vault loot you have unlocked is heroic tier, prot would be nice if you don't have a heroic or better shield, but fury will remove all tank trinkets which you really don't want. But in the end everything at that level is farmable from 7 and up m+

hoary glen
hardy snow
pallid quiver
#

I mean, blockable tank usters generally just makes it on the table that Prot War might be able to solo tank the fight

#

And Blizz hates solo tank strats

#

Just look at this last race, where they instantly adjusted Court after Princess was solo tanked to avoid another fight being done via solo tank strats

#

The only reason they didn't adjust Princess eas because it would have been unfair for the other groups

hardy snow
#

like they did with silken

#

I guess they learned after Kyveza/Court and will be doing tankbuster debuffs like this on regular basis.

pallid quiver
#

They also made Silken's persist through death, as well

#

Since the main plan was using the b rez totem iirc

hardy snow
#

Prebuffs main plan was simply - just use one tank, cause debuff isn''t strong enough during phase and will drop off during intermission, Blizz added persist through death as they watched RWF on Kyveza and learned that brez totem exists keks

jagged gust
cerulean tusk
#

The solo tank issue is easily solved in raid by just adding mechanics that counter that strat. Just hardcode "you die on 2nd buster, though luck" if they hate it so much

#

no need to nerf warr and BDK

#

:(

jagged gust
#

At least BDK still has their niche which secures their slot in raid

cerulean tusk
#

gladge Raid is nice, as you overgear it so easilly

#

BDK feels alright in a 12, BDK feels "why am I here, just to suffer?" as you kite in a 14

pallid quiver
#

Just ask all the pugs

quaint sinew
#

quick question, whats better, ironclaw weightstone? or algari mana

#

for consums

cyan bronze
#

what

cerulean tusk
#

He aint wrong, if you play it right you wont have any rage issues. Not sure about the damage going up tho, it is hard to point out with my sample size and testing. Still, damage was "ok", I held threath. So, yay?
As long you play around having a bank of rage, warrior works fine - it just isnt as much fun

#

1st pack in Prior is likely soloable, sure. Not sure if that includes what you chain them into, but also not a falsehood in itself. Danger is more often to your group, not you - warrior is still tanky against white swings, it is when the threat is magic dam and bleeds you really struggle more than before.
As with the miniboss in the same dung, the forge thingie, that I just used my CDs and then kited back to start :v

pallid quiver
#

I think he might be wrong, since iirc getting hit for rage has an icd

onyx vessel
cerulean tusk

Thanks, I hate it

onyx vessel

cyan bronze
#

yoda fanboy comments are wrong

oak ivy
#

are we slightly less doomer after the most recent warrior notes

pallid quiver
#

Not particularly, since dooming was related to the playstyle change Blizz wanted

thiugh performance wise we're still worse off

#

Pins for more indepth

oak ivy
#

Would keeping us as we are currently but make IP cost more for more absorb make sense

cerulean tusk
#

Their goal is not to reduce the amount of casts, but force thought and have us choose to use IP. They aren't that far off on the PTR to do that. At the moment you can chose to use IP once per CD rotation, so where you push it "matters", if only it mattered.
It just plays a lot worse. Having to play around a ragebank could work, if procs suddenly didn't overflow you and force the IP either way.
It just kinda don't work with current design

hi all im really new to warrior and wanted to ask i know we need teir set of 4 do i buy helmet, shoulders, chest and gloves?

lilac basalt
#

Quote from wowhead guide;

Due to their itemization, Protection Warriors prefer equipping tier pieces on these slots:
Head
Chest
Gloves
Legs

narrow prawn
#

Prot is back?

urban bane
#

naur it is deadge

#

memes aside check the pins and read chat a bit ; the buffs bring the tuning closer to inline, but gameplay still bad and in need of hawk tuah

hearty narwhal
#

should I craft a 636 shield for more armor or 636 ring for more haste?

wicked pollen

shield first

#

more defensive

north atlas
#

Guys there be a guy cooking in fourms rn abt a rework give it a read

tribal wharf
#

you know what wow really needs that would get me back, not so much wow but blizzard games, and i say it after experiencing it from steam few weeks ago

#

in launcher game recorder that records only the game and nothing else

#

doesnt record my desktop or browser or external sounds overlays n shit

#

so that way always have a clean recording, and dont have to think about it too hard

#

im not smart enough with OBS to be able to manage multiple sound sources switching, instead use overplay or nvidia( that was first thing i started to use)

#

works with whatever game is on the launcher

#

too many times i have recorded a key, and its riddled with asmongold talking in video or some streamer, or some terrible yt video

tardy abyss
#

Why not google the problem and solve it

#

Takes 2 minutes

tribal wharf
#

eh, sure i guess, i already got my obs set up perefectly to record ps5 or whatever through capture

#

so i dont want to mess with those settings

#

nividia is okay, but basic, outplayed is pretty good, but its no where near perfect

#

i'd just rather it would be part of the whole package and i never have to think about can i do this (record) it just does it, seems really nice on steam

#

something something unregistered hypercam 2, activate now we evolved past that way back in 2005 or so ago....... i hope...

#

What do yall do to self evaluate and improve? If a dungeon goes poorly sometimes it's hard to poinpoint why exactly

north atlas
#

lots to look at, i dont have a strong enuff pc to vod but i look at details...lookin at ints dmg heals buff time times etc

tribal wharf
#

which partially ties into the recording thing

broken shoal
#

you just press a hotkey, it records and isolates the game sounds

tribal wharf
#

oh, well, i'll have to look into how it works

#

its just another tool i can learn from and if its by blizzard, its one less thing i have to think about tinkering with etc

urban bane

#

Good morning, guys. English is not my native language, so any mistakes are possible. I followed some player analyses saying that the Protection Warrior will be terrible in the 2nd season. Is that really the case? Will it fall behind all the other tanks?

tardy abyss
#

As of right now pwar has taken a pretty solid hit. It will be good enough for your weekly keys, but you will not have a good timing pushing high keys

urban bane
#

It is now more in line after the most recent changes. The gameplay is still bad. Better, but many think the changes shouldnt have happened in the first place.

tribal wharf
#

i just recall when i was setting up the capture card in terms of sound it was really finicky, so i didnt want to mess with the obs settings again

#

its capturing console games, good enough

#

it works so im never touching those settings again without expert help, or im streamer

#

Yogi, the world is your oyster. And you are allergic to shellfish. That, I think, is what your problem boils down to. My condolences.

tribal wharf
#

in ideal world i would have a secondary computer that does all that business end portion of it

north atlas
#

Again goto fourms abt 1.1 ptr, there is a big thread pls voice ur concerns and or ideas....someone is cooking on that thread rn imo

tardy abyss
#

Who is cooking

north atlas
#

Griel

#

Has a fresh concpet ive not seen yet i kinda dig it

tardy abyss
#

These suggestions sound kinda shit

#

ngl

north atlas
#

Why

#

No rage cost for sb or ip

tardy abyss
#

Because rage just becomes completely irrelevant

#

So might as well remove it

north atlas
#

Used for revenge and execute

tardy abyss
#

Revenge feels awful to press

#

And it would take forever to use all rage

north atlas
#

Not if the nerf happens

tardy abyss
#

But point still stands, it makes rage pointless

#

And the IP suggestion sounds somewhat decent on paper but would feel bad in practice

#

Unless the value of each IP gets amped a ton

north atlas
#

Why, can maybe tied to revenge

#

Yes i think thats the idea

tardy abyss
#

I would rather keep the current flow of the spec

north atlas
#

Massive value increase

tardy abyss
#

Instead of reworking it

north atlas
#

Do you think its gunna happen tho?

tardy abyss
#

No, but it is possible

north atlas
#

They wanna rework it, give them a better rework then whats going down

tardy abyss
#

They dont want to rework it, that was not the point of the changes

#

All they wanted to do is reduce the rage gen to lower the cpm and they thought buffing IP to compensate would be enough

#

But theyre still missing out on anger management

#

And in return some buff to our base tankiness would help as well

#

If we have way less rage for our AM

north atlas
#

Less avatar

tribal wharf

#

They reduced sw cd

tardy abyss
#

IW was like so much better than aegis to begin with

tribal wharf
#

forum madge

tardy abyss
#

So they nerfed IW to the ground (with the indirect nerfs with SS resets) and now we are supposed to act as if the buff to aegis is decent

#

When it is still a bad talent imo

north atlas
#

Meh I use ageis with my thane build

tardy abyss
#

Live IW gets you an active wall cd of like 45 seconds

#

That is so much better than 2.5m per stack on ptr

north atlas
#

But besides agis they still reduce sw cd by 30 sec i belive

tribal wharf
#

part of why im bitching about the recording thing is cuz while i was learning to get good at tank i post video and they have all these stupid noises and voices

#

i wont infect other discords with that type of stuff

mighty valley
#

what’s the ptr reality of imp wall now? it’s gotta be so much worse with the overall rage reduction

#

and aegis gets you the flat reduction, plus the power of two back to back when that’s relevant

north atlas
#

I think so

north atlas
#

Col build is dead for 11.1 imo

#

Stupid phone typing

tardy abyss
#

Did I miss out on something

mighty valley
#

oh I may be conflating two things lemme check

tribal wharf
#

imagine they put back in banner or reprisal

sweet summit
#

shield charge is reprisal

tribal wharf
#

well, its also for intervene, reprisal

#

cant sheild slam friendly

sweet summit
#

i don't think reprisal should come back
we have great block talents now so it's not necessary

mighty valley
tardy abyss
#

all g

mighty valley
#

“we’re trying to make the spec easier and less hectic. also let’s bring back reprisal”

tribal wharf
#

is it going to be as bad as 8.0 or 9.0 though?

mighty valley
#

i don’t think the power gap will be as big but it’s gonna be less fun

Damn ok, my pwar is up to 625 now and I only have 14-16k haste. Depending on flask/food

tribal wharf

haste is always measured as when you have no buffs

Getting enough haste for ITF in keys is pretty hard

#

should be ezpz next season tho

tribal wharf
#

then you just say world buffed or whatever you call it

#

even with static long lasting effects such as flask or weapon stone

#

Right... with the rage nerf next season, guess we can't press execute as much anymore? 40 rage quite costly with the rage nerf.

round pendant
#

you guys are pressing execute?

tardy abyss
#

yes

tribal wharf
#

execute is the warrior thing to do

round pendant
#

Actually forgot about that button after coming back from a few months break

mighty valley
#

it’s just better revenge with one target

#

or a prio target

although idk maybe we’ll need to truly maximize our ss reset chances next patch

round pendant
#

I might have to switch to paladin

#

Sucks cause the only thing I like about prot paladin is avenger's shield

violet ginkgo
# round pendant you guys are pressing execute?

Yeah we press it but next season will be awkward for both thane and colossus.

For Thane: right now we are swimming with rage and execute is a really nice rage dump, on GCD yeah but still better than you pressing IP to avoid cap. Next season? Rage gutted so you will press execute way less.

For Colossus: The changes where Execute no longer give colossal might stack is weird..

Except for Fury, which generates some resources

If there's a cast bar, you can press spell block or sr

#

You can’t get it without giving up some meaningful power

Okay thanks, that's what it felt like. I'd like to have it in NW and SV for the first pulls but doesn't really seem like its worth it if I gotta drop ravager for it

how much damage should i be doing as a prot warrior in mythic plus? i'm 620 ilvl and i usually average 400 to 450. i feel like when I heal most tanks are doing far more than I am, albeit at a higher ilvl.

mighty valley
#

Varies between dungeons but double that would be a good start

torn gulch
#

some dungeons like stonevault you normally pass 1m dps

remote anchor
#

depends alot on how big you pull tho

if you play colossus you go even higher to like 1.5m

#

yes

mighty valley
#

400k is low even just for hold W route single pulls though tbh

torn gulch

but 8-900k is a good start

again depends on dungeon and pulls

My only wishlist item for col, is that Demo hit for a lot more on that single hit - 3-4mill aint releasing dopamine when SS hits close to that

#

Could just be BDK that ruined my brain tho

Just need the right WA to track it's damage

Ye, but it doesnt release the same dopamine as a single number of your screen that shows 14mill

that is just the legendary addon that kinda made your mind justify pressing the button - didnt make it feel better

so do we play colossus in 11.1

or does less rage gen make colossus feel even more rage starved than before xd

Nah colossus is less affected by the rage nerfs as most of your rotation already did include revenge

#

Thane however will have to send a lot more revenges than it's used to

whys that? ive been out of the loop except for the veeeery basics of the changes

So you'll have less of the whole "ss>tc>ss>tc>ss>tc" gameplay

i might just play collo

unless its bad

strong forum
#

It's not bad

round cliff
#

bad being 1% or more worse than thane

strong forum
#

Can't really quantify it

#

Cuz thane probably still remains the more defensive option

#

however

#

Due to less frequent IP usages and the opening up of 1 additional talent point in the 3rd talent gate, there's a real chance that colossus can be rather powerful in m+ due to 20% larger IP from hero tree and the ability to pick up immovable object for a very minor dps loss

#

But potentially immensely powerful defensive gain

#

unstoppable force not still bis for colossus?

#

i thought it was just that good

No

Hello everyone ! I got a question. I got a bug with the first boss of dawnbreaker. As a exemple you can see the bug at 8:30 on the video below. As you can see, battle-scarred veteran proc when his health don’t go below 30%… I got the same thing and I checked logs and I take (as full Life) 5.2m from the tank smash with 12m max hp and my veteran proc… did you have any info about that ?? 😕

jagged pier
#

because u took the hit unmitigated

#

it would have taken u below 30%

#

hence why bsv proc'd

indigo hawk
#

But normally vétéran should proc when your health go bellow 30%, after mitigated dmg no ?

jagged pier
#

thats not how it works

#

it works on the first instance of damage that takes u below 30%

#

the only reason yu dont drop below 30 is because the DR applies to that hit too

#

so taking the tank hit unmitigated will drop u below 30% so bsv applies to it

#

dr and all

indigo hawk
#

Sorry I’m not used to english in wow… DR and bsv mean ?

#

When I read that, it should never proc when my health is at like 50-60%

#

My Health is not brought below 30%

lilac basalt
#

DR stands for Damage Reduction and BSV for Battle Scarred Veteran.

tardy abyss
#

Because it would have taken you below 30% if it did not mitigate the damage

lilac basalt
#

A lot of times the wording of spells/talents is ambiguous at best so listen to the smart people here instead 😀

twilit trail
#

Why is the mitigated % 54% instead of 80%+ then?

indigo hawk
#

It’s really weird that veteran proc on the cast and only reduc by 53% the dmg… (i used spell reflect too so we need to add 25%)

tardy abyss
#

SR alone isnt necessarily enough

#

You always have wall and spell block up for it

#

You can even absorb it twice with one spell block

jagged pier
#

it might only work on the damage past 30%

#

who know

tardy abyss
#

^

jagged pier
#

it use to proc on unmitigated damage

tardy abyss
#

Think so too

#

By looking at the numbers the math checks out though

#

Taking BSV aside he would have been sub 30%

cerulean tusk
twilit trail
#

There was this line in the 11.0.0 patchnote, but I'm not sure I understand what it means:

Patch 11.0.0 (2024-07-23): When a damage event reduces your health below 30%, the portion of that damage event that would apply to the last 30% of your health is now also reduced by 80%.

tardy abyss
#

Based on the log that does not seem to happen

#

Which is not surprising lmao

#

But if that was the case it would make BSV even worse than it is now

jagged pier
#

no that might be right it could protion up the damage of a massive hit and just apply the DR to the bit of it which it decided took u below 30

#

what that note basically is saying is what i said

#

if something will bring u too below 30% bsv is applied to that damage too

#

because it didnt before

#

so u could go from 31% to 0

#

even tho the talent was so broken it often just proced at 100% to normal damage

#

because it applied pre mitigation

indigo hawk
#

I mean, there is no Logic to applie pré mitigation… I don’t care to survive to a spell that I will mitigate

jagged pier
#

thats how it used to work tho

indigo hawk
#

Yeah it seem that you are right... it make me sad that it work like that but thank you 🙂

tardy abyss
tardy abyss
#

Its just hard to notice from the log because the damage that BSV absorbs is so minimal

jagged pier
#

im not saying thats how it works

#

i have no clue i dont pay bsv any mind because i dont use it

tardy abyss
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fuck that talent

round pendant
#

mighty valley
#

I kinda know my ui is ass but it’s how I’ve built up my shit over twenty years so

#

I’m not gonna overhaul it without a big reason

#

Anyone else try to get into druid but get tired of the forms? always tend to miss my mogs

waxen frigate
#

i cant stand the class fantasy

#

zero appeal

placid frigate
#

Yeah i find myself feeling the same way, even in Classic

mighty valley
#

it was kinda fun to have all these different options when the game was brand new

#

but yeah Druid does nothing for me now

kind urchin
#

I don't mind druid too much. The hero talents made it kinda more boring though.

never was into parses and max level is too easy ... yeah you're right can't make up reasons

#

would just want to run prot in some dungeons and see the new content

tardy abyss
#

There hasnt really been a lot of new content

#

Siren Isle is not worth talking about

jagged pier
#

u dont like the new ring D:

sweet summit
#

ring stinks

tardy abyss
#

Stinks is an understatement

#

It is so pointless, really

#

It ain't true 100% but close enough

#

With less than 18k you can and will run into block downtime during active combat

#

1-3seconds at a time

What is the point if everyone gets more damooj 😦

strong forum
#

Some make more of it than others

tardy abyss
#

Fair ig

strong forum
#

A 5% increase of 1mil ain't as big as 5% of 1.5mil

tardy abyss
#

Is the error actually that big tho

strong forum
#

I'm talking player skill

tardy abyss
#

True

#

I sure as shit make more use of it than some career tank

tardy abyss

Your Sikran parse approves

Do we have any resources for best builds for MT M+? Or is it just copy what the big boys have?

cerulean tusk
#

Look at the big boys, think of why they chose what they did. Decide for you based on that

young gyro
#

Build changes at M+ 12 ish but you can use the copy paste of the big boys.

jagged pier
#

build doesnt change for 12s at all

#

ppl just copy from the top down

#

the builds nome or mwahi have made on wowhead or icy

#

work up to at least 15s

cerulean tusk
#

In pre 12 you can safely skip shieldblock nodes for dam tho

jagged pier
#

i mean i wouldnt advice it

#

but yes

cerulean tusk
young gyro
#

I was told you take BSV at 12+s. I only do 8s myself so it's just what I've heard.

jagged pier
#

I dont know whose telling you that but thats just incorrect

young gyro
#

It's been going around the ptb forums in the prot warrior nerf threads.

jagged pier
#

i mean see a lot of things on the forums esepically blizzard forums

#

that doesnt mean its correct

#

theres a thread there where ppl didnt even know shield block cost rage

young gyro
#

There was a discussion about how BSV was a cheat death. I just kind of laughed at the paladin making the claim

round pendant
#

Paladins never argue in good faith

jagged pier
#

it is both a cheat death and not a cheat death

onyx vessel
#

its a poor mans cheat death

jagged pier
#

but just because it is or isnt doesnt mean its just run at x lvl

#

if u want the safety blanket u can run it when ever u want

#

but theres no hard requirement on ever actually using it at all

young gyro
#

It's 80% dmg reduction and 100% bonus heal for 8 seconds which can save you but it's not a cheat death like cheat death, cauterize, Defy Fate or Argent defender.

onyx vessel
#

i mean bsv is good in pugs so you dont have to care if the groups dogshit

#

just solo the bosses

tardy abyss
#

Doesnt argent defender work similar as BSV

onyx vessel
young gyro
#

Honestly I normally don't run it.

unborn island
#

Yeah, I am rubbish so I've started taking BSV now I'm going into 13s

#

Mainly so when I fuck up I don't immediately splat every time

jagged pier
tardy abyss
#

Im not using BSV in 15s

#

No issues

jagged pier
#

so in that sense it is a cheat death

young gyro
#

Paladins BSV is something something of the golden Valkyr

unborn island
tardy abyss
#

Im okayish

onyx vessel
#

it helps when you have a 5 stack of gamers

unborn island
#

Yeah, I'm sure I'd be less likely to use it if I wasn't exclusively pugging

jagged pier
#

but usually prot warriors drop low if they do something wrong and once they drop low the troublesappened anyway so procing that is then wasted

onyx vessel
young gyro
onyx vessel
#

i drop low cuz i just facepull no mitgation to feel alive

jagged pier
#

no it procs on an instance of damage that would take u below 30%

#

so if u at 100 and get hit by DB beam without mitigation

#

that will proc it

#

but only drop u down to like 80% hp

#

cause it applies the dr to that hit

young gyro
#

Got you l.

jagged pier
#

well thats how its supposed to work

jagged pier
#

it better than it used to be

#

in DF u could get killed from 31% without it proccing

tardy abyss
#

Supposedly Immovable Object now works with the 2p on PTR

jagged pier
#

u would have to check with nomer

#

or mwahi

tardy abyss
#

Someone in #arms was reporting it

young gyro
#

Ya I read that too sadly I was playing an evoker most of DF till the end when I swapped back to my warrior

tardy abyss
#

Im a bit skeptical though

#

I could give it a check later

dark barn
#

gonna test it now
