Inshallah colossus will be broken
IP feels meh to press, I press it cause it's optimal

Okay but spamming revenge will kill you
It would be kind of cool if Prot had a similar talent like what fury has with whirlind, that say we hit thunderstrike the shield slam its all the targets
Hey I kinda like that idea
The beauty is managing both
but then it kinda ends up like druid I guess
why didn’t they just increase rage cost by some % and then increase the effect of those abilities by the same %
that fixes apm

There's many solutions to the problem
why did the pick the worst nommy
druid is press raze as much as you can while keeping ironfur at the bare minimum to live

Because people like to spam everything even if it doesnt proc
if revenge was ogcd it'd be press revenge as much as possible while keeping IP up enough to live
Mfw high key build doesn’t even talent raze

I haven't played druid since df so idk
point still stands
Nerf rage gen from strategist procs
Nerf strategist proc but give 2 SS charges
Make IP cost 35-70 rage
Ykno
Problem solved
Why you guys talking about revenge off the gcd, when goal is to reduce apm?
I brought up variable rage cost on ip and people hated it
it should be current rage-current revenge cost(which ig doesn’t matter now)
Or 10-60, can't remember
They brought that up
90% dr too 
And said it was ass
nah my point isn't that apm = bad, it's that 20%+ of your APM being IP is bad (imo) because IP FEELS unimpactful
Then make revenge off-gcd, no more IP spam 🤷♂️
but yeah sure it's blizzards reasoning but blizzard never knows what they're talking about when it comes to class balance decisions
god
But all the changes are driven by the purpose of reducing apm. Why discuss impact feel that is subjective?
Just make revenge do so much dmg and bruvit work without ip up and revenge off gcd that it’s never worth to press ip

Fixed prot warrior
because we weren't talking about ideas with the goal of reducing apm?
I was simply talking about why the average player doesn't like prot warrior
it's not because of the APM but it could feel like that for them
Just put everything on GCD, and increase GCD to 2 sec. I solved the CPM issue
ok final fantasy
Wonder if the post was meant to put the prot warrior community into a tizzy to get feedback to try to figure out what to do lol.
could of just made changes to thane and colossus independently
honestly
full spec changes are genuinely so bad for this spec
autocorrect is tweaking.
I like IP and that spending rage reduces CDs and having lots of rage but I don't like how the rotation as it is railroads you into pressing IP since your SS/Tclap are up so often and you'd never press revenge over them. Not to mention it's happening CONSTANTLY so you have a natural minimum of like 15 CPM on IP lol
maybe I should just play colossus though
they already got few weeks of feedback mostly criticizing these changes 🤷♂️
The issue exists that we don't have any spenders besides revenge ip and execute yes
But
Yes
The solution is a way bigger thing than just touching the current set of abilities we have
And nerfing strategist mid xpac is not ut
And then not give us a full rework like many other classes have received
Blizz can make "both sides" happy with Colossus being slower and Thane being faster, just make Colo more competetive in defense matter and Thane in offense
But that would require undesrtanding differences in both hero talents and how they impact rest of the spec
the answer is give prot rampage
And my whole point was that a newer/worse player might see themselves spamming IP and not understand the CDR part of it and this is the majority of the feedback blizz receives
hence the shitty balancing ideas from blizz
I was a little confused that warrior had more rage gen than at the end of an expansion with how thane was but I feel like I’d rather spam IP and hit shield slam and thunderclap more than spam revenge
But colossus is right there
This is coming from a non career prot warrior so maybe a “new player” take on it
But Revenge actually feels like trash for thane
They just didn't consider colossus at all
They gave up before the xpac
Ya but wowhead says to play thane so colossus doesn’t exist for most players
It's so bad
And it didn’t feel good to press really at all for me in DF
Yeah you can see messages from me going back 2 years complaining about revenge sucking
I think I've been fairly honest about hero talents on wowhead
wet noodle ability
It just feels like revenge would benefit from being an ogcd as a spender
Or something
it just feels so clunky in the rotation
Tbh I was just using “wowhead” as a catch all for meta
Bring back focused rage
At least pre hero talents
I forgot you wrote the guide lol


Speaking of wowhead, where is our "11.1 Changes Reviewed - Guide Writer Feedback"? 
lmao
That would be cool, no way they will ever do that.
Bring back glad stance xdd
no
I think nome going to give so much positive feedback 
what about 2-charge revenge oGCD
🤔
and reskin it when in thane to be a lightning effect
and it goes ZAP
pogging
Btw. Blizz said "We feel that reducing Shield Slam’s prominence in the rotation will allow for Revenge and other abilities to fill the rotation and serve to consume excess Rage."
which "other abilities" they actually mean? Like they want us to use rage on slam or what?
Got no clue
I scratched my head at that too
Speaking of stances is it just me or does battle stance just feel like a shell of what it was
It kinda feels stupid to just drop 16% dr for like 2% dmg increase
It made more sense when dstance had a 5% modifier reduction on it
Corporate talk
They should just remove stances
Yeah I know that’s kinda what I mean
I still sit in bstance as Colossus, crits are beeg
Yeah I just wish it did a bit more
But yeah they completely fumbled stances
I don't think I've used bstance in tww
You can't do stances well
did somebody say stances
It's just a macro if you go back to ability limits
stances would have to actually alter abilities or something to actually be a meaningful thing i feel
If it's not a limit, we get DF
And if they're too shitty, we get tww
There's no winning
remove stances 2025
battle stance turns ignore pain into focused rage xd
Battle Stance + Colossus + Fueled by violence on mythic brood with adds.
D-stance makes sw longer duration and blocks more powerful, and alters IP to leech more from dmg output
Idk
That's too complicated
Blizzard would hate it
Tanks have to be dumb
Yea, and that would be meaningful choices that they say they want to give us
Our mythic + in the future is going to be packs of 1 mob roaming around.
You mean this
My mythic+ as tank in S2 will be 4 weekly keys with guildmates, more only as dps 

Dude our m+ right now is hold W because you have enough count in a key to skip either pack 1 or pack 2 and that’s it
it’s so lame trying to do any routing
Dude
even as prot though! You hit all the adds, your dps will cry lookin at details. Wish I could get Pi
We did a 17 ara last night, and I fell off the first web bridge while gathering
and we still time
Yeah I wish I'd get to play tank in mythic
this season is hilarious
not in my pugs 
Arms is good now?
Always has been
Arms has been awesome
I liked it in prepatch when it was busted
I should try it again but fury is so effortlessly decent
that I just default to playing fury lmao
I don't really think the spec is super well designed or anything
but if I just want to turn brain off and hit mobs
If I want to turn brain off I don't play vidya
Me as arms on ovinax
Or me as prot everywhere
Just perma vibin
just feels bad when you mistime by 1 minute cause some guy's been throwing the entire dungeon
I'm beyond stressing keys
I try to go to 12 and stop.
I just say NT and go next
it only really feels bad when you’re pugging
once you get a static group depletes feel less bad
thats true
our group is vibing and we’re playing a scuffed ass comp
even tho we deplete
even if the singular random guys we had to take repeatedly grief us
The best comps, cuz you know everyone is enjoying what they're playing
oh for sure it’s insanely fun
brew pres outlaw feral sham
fun to have to think outside the box
I don't know why we're failing +10s tho
hell yeah
it's kinda insane how big of a negative impact ONE guy can have on the group
shaman doing 750k dps and dying repeatedly in GB
mistimed it by 45 seconds
That's impressive
Do you check their Io score?
Can't even be mad
yeah they were like 2700
Okay but, logs
if you want my opinion as someone who actually vets people for stream keys
I don't invite pugs that arent atleast 4/8M
if you’re inviting a meta player
you check logs
if you’re inviting off meta
io is more relevant
yeah I wasn't in charge of forming those keys
Honestly the 4/8M is already a good indicator, cuz any capable player who does care about the character does pug 4/8M
It's just nuts how one dude is the diffference between a 25 minute time vs a 35 minute complete shitshow
that’s true, can hit some wildcards though who don’t raid for some reason
Yeah but those are special special
I haven't pugged mythic since s1 df
ran into one of the best dps i’ve ever played with and she was 2.7 so i’m forever gambling

needle in a haystack type a vibe
Ye I always gamble with off-meta, I prefer inviting off-meta people just for the fun of it
Be the good you wanna see in the world type shit
Still, even depleting is fun if you're with friends is what I noticed
it’s usually pretty sad
Love me some ww monks or spriests
so many off meta players are so good too
just actually oppressed by this tier list shit
I've noticed most FOTM players are actually awful at the game
Cuz they know how much effort pushing is
the best guy I played with this entire season was a ww monk lmao
And it's mostly not worth it
actually no, 2nd best
Correct
best was an arms warrior guy
well our spriest put it into words
in df
he pugged into a full meta comp and went from having to use every defensive perfectly with us (no aug) to literally never having to disperse because their aug kept him alive permanently
full meta just facilitates lazy play almost always
in non r1 keys obv
and it trickles down
Yeah
I only care about 10s (12s next season), I invite based on if we need lust or whatever
I played my first high key together with andys group in DF S3, everbloom +25 2 chested it. It was so fucking easy and comfortable to blitz through it
I'm too lazy to check logs most of the time tho and I kinda feel like I shouldn't have to for 10s
10s are so easy
Meanwhile with pugs or my own group it was a massive fucking struggle to even 1chest
Eeeh
Either let the booster afk
And 4 man the key
Or just... Do more dam
Don't CR the buyer
Bosses are insanely slow with 2dps
Eh
at 10s?
Not if your group is capable
that just means your damage is low
Yeah
what's good ST dps 🤔
A good dps does 1.2mil+ dps
10s with an afk boost is about a 2 1/2 min boss still
I do 1.2m-ish
but I never see other people do like more than 900k
over a whole boss fight
yep
M+? Yeah, too much downtime usually, because of tank movement and what not
when I play dps I mean
if your healer and tank do relevant dps and your 2 dps aren’t sandbagging
you still 2 chest almost 3 chest most 10s
You 2 chest if all DPS and you do 1 million, so don't worry about 10s
Imma good dps then 
This is just not my experience
You know the context was ST dps
usually it is one DPS at 2 mill, me as tank at 1-1.5, and DPS doing less than 900k

all dps doing 1m overall isn't enough
oh, sorry, I thought it was about M+
St in m+
I love doing like 500k as a 610 vdh on bosses and then looking at details and I’m in second

me dumb 
i’m a dps alt and I do 2m overall
dps mains should do around 2m+ overall usually
1.2m st
tbh my st damage is bad as prot
dps doing 1 mil overall for the entire key?
got any logs?
the logs are so scuffed cause the overtimed keys just make it seem like people are doing 0 dps
thats ok, 1 should work

Rogue was 629 btw
It is yes
And not afk
That's just fact
your face a is a fact
Need a fact checker on that one stat
Sort by bracket, and show ya meanie
Then cope
I think on logs I average like 600k on bosses
that's bad as thane right
maybe 650k
lol
Like our m+ st dmg is pretty whack
600k is what I normally see, as I presume we talking st
sure would be nice if my holy priest friend would dps 

Imagine asking a hpriest to DPS. If they wanted to DPS, clearly Disco would be the play
the biggest issue I see with puggers is just a complete refusal to pop CDs
he refuses to play disc 
he loves holy
it's weird tho cause on ez packs he'll dps and do like 700k
and be like
LOOK AT MY DPS 
Chad tank wdm
Chad under the bridge 🌉🌉
Just grip in the adds, dont be bad
My DK friend loves to argue
I'll say "grip in that add"
there'll be one add off in narnia
he says "which one"
what the fuck are you talking about which one???
THERE'S ONLY ONE
and he'll argue saying I should use the ping system and that it's not his fault he can't read my mind
am I insane in thinking if there's only one mob that's not grouped it's kinda fucking obvious?
Seems obvious. I never have to specify with the DK I run with. It’s probably also a good idea to prioritize the crossbowman too since the mages can (and should) be kicked and are likely being focused first.
Just tell him to interrupt 1st mage and grip 2nd
Crossbowmen always spawn a stutter step from melee tho, I just waddle so it get cleaved 
Mages tho, mages scare me 
I've very rarely seen people handle the mages properly
DK is a must for that dungeon tbh
a must in the sense that it just makes it almost impossible to fuck up
not that it's necessary to time the key
good for pugs 
true
I try to make sure I carry the interrupt thingy into that boss running it with pugs or my reg group also.
I usually say this at the start:
DPS X, you are on right handside Maur and first spawn mage. DPS Y, you are on left handisde Maur and 2nd spawn mage
Usually sees it done
Yep. Interrupt orb is severely underutilized on that boss
Disrupting shout works insane too
Does colossus take show of force or Thunderlord for m+? Seems to be about a 50/50 split for high io colossus pwar
show of force time
idt thunderlord is that great for colossus
a lot of people prob talent it cus it’s rly good for thane
because you tc significantly more than colossus
& they expect the same value
can u still get the brontosaurus mount the one for 90 bucks
I don't think so. Anniversary event ended
fml ty though
I have a question regarding Blood Scared Veteran. In what circumstances is it taken of Ravager?
Only if you feel like you might die during the dungeon and feeling unsafe with just your normal CDs, generally in higher keys
https://youtu.be/u2SKVcHVWkk reject prot warrior embrace blood dk
https://twitch.tv/yodatv - come watch me live! I stream all the time.
Me when I’m stupid ^
Oh sick I needed a new tier list to base my opinion on

BM Hunter S tier tank in thumbnail is elite clickbait
Huh did BDK even change a tiny bit?
nope lol
Weird
No bro but this tier list isn’t like the other tier lists it’s better!!1!1
Trust me bro!!1!1
Reroll!!
I can only think of dungeons have a stupid amount of magic damage to justify this
yoda just really likes bdk and ppally he says this every season
Everything else just got worse
If its not just clickbait
and every season bdk just falls over at high keys
hes just played a lot of bdk and it felt relatively fine in 12s-14s on ptr
the argument he brought is that the healing check is so high that the pulls will be small and the best tank will be the one the healer doesn't need to care
Which is fair until you go super high I guess
they always seem good on ptr lmao
that’s fair yeah
so pally, monk , druid and dk
he specifically said that blood dk is always good on ptr and that this time might be different
This changes everything
LMAO
i could see his point regarding enhance staying meta
saw that spec doing 40mil bursts in cinderbrew while everything else was like 10m
but idk about bdk
it hasn’t fundamentally changed and you don’t have a infinite parry button yet again
It also doesn’t matter until 11.1.5 balance changes anyway if your goal is just play the meta tank to push title
Destro and fire mage also burst hard as hell
yeah let’s be real
But there will still be lots of tuning
11.1 comes out bdk meta 11.1.5 comes out prot pally reworked again and we’re back where we started
Like regardless of your goals in the tier, PTR balance is so irrelevant
Enh losing AG is massive though
ig maybe with dk wasn’t their set ass last tier
and it’s oker this tier?
only thing I can think of
their tier set is pretty ass next tier too im pretty sure
Ye idk
yeah it’s random ibf procs
d strike cleaves 2 targets?
Don’t recall off the top of my head
something like that
yeah idk
ye
the only one i saw and was like wow was brewmaster
brew gets insane ST off the tier set
Yeah
surely a matter of time before equinox posts a picture on twitter and gets an orbital strike
Play FoM with it
tale as old as time
Equinox 🤢

i think the only thing i’d feel might be cancer to play around is if you’re energy starved as brew
because of the bok -> tiger palm spam
Which is possible
As well as potentially being shuffle starved for once
well shuffle comes from bok
Due to KS dropping significantly
so you should be okay
Yeah it’s not an issue if you play well
But
If you miss a global (as many players do) you lose shuffle
potentially
it’ll be interesting playing non scalding brew again
I haven’t really paid too close attention since I’m swapping to DH off monk next tier to fill guild buffs
i am monke buff for foreseeable future
brew raiding is pretty fun tho hope dh is fun too this expansion
I’ve just been brew every tier since I started in SL and I was very bored this tier tbh
Like it was fun to chase all stars and stuff last xpac but now I just cba
Not that vdh is particularly interesting especially in raid
But it’s a change of pace
I’ve never played brew before this tier and it’s been fun learning it, shado pan flurry strike shit is exhausting though
Yeah
Like the amount of optimization I’d need to do for the like
1-2% I need to get r1s
Just isn’t worth
And it’s still rng

Yeah nah
I hate the rng we’ve had introduced this tier
Used to have so much control
Now it’s just Jesus take the wheeel
Next tier I spam soul cleave until RSI Kicks in
Only tank so far that has 0 dev notes at all
That video should be named 'How I make my PPally giga buffed again?'
super subjective, yes but what is currently the most fun dps class to play? Fun factor being the prio. Obviously dont want to be the bottom struggler but yeh.
I like feral

Fun being an engaging toolkit (sorta an answer to the problems), a rotation that is fulfilling (not clunky) and being an asset to, from raid cds, utility or just a fun group support
guildies praise demo gameplay too
Used to main lock before warr but tried destro and they had changed it so completely and so odd, i couldnt get into it at all
how is demo? still the pet spec?
this must be a bait, right?
ye and coming in season 2 I believe demo is one of few specs that are happy with their set
I commented his: How to tell everyone you're completely clueless and dont know how to play a single tank without saying it... Next?
Is it looking to be good/strong or OP OP?
good and fun
noob question, i see now both ally/horde players in my list, sorta like realms disapparead.
how does that work in practice? everything crossrealm and crossfaction now?
most things, non rated pvp and dungeon finder/lfr isnt crossfaction yet I believe
World content and queued content are not cross-faction
Things have been cross-realm for a hot minute outside of Mythic raids, which iirc are now cross-realm from the start? Don't hold me to that one
i have posted
nuh-uh
He leaves us forever
Blizz put Nimchip in a grave ;-;
We loved you
GOD I LOVE THAT MOVIE
punched a whole ass hole through a man

so having blue response in thread makes it official thread for feedback since blizz didnt make one themselves xd?
TY!
no u!
Pretty bad when we need a fourm for them to fix what they did to pwarr

It isn't the worst. Of the melee DPS; only retribution, fdk, udk, enh, ass, sub and outlaw is better.
If you ask if you should bring one? Always pick the better player above class.
Still, there are better options spec wise
colo big fun
Good to know. This was one of those cases where the better player above class situation
I'm shocked 626 ara kara trinket doesn't beat my sikran 639 and ulgrax 639 trinket
Show talents 
Thanks babe 
The one you picked was the SV
Not even 100 
Looks
to have tclap so low
Idk I could be doing something wrong, I've done probably ~10 keys total as colossus but wowhead has TC under revenge in prio for colo
Blame @strong forum he doesn't play colossus
Colossus is fun in raid other then when you instantly rip off cotank
Better in what way?
In terms of utility SV is really good and it deals more damage than some of the specs you mentioned
While also being fairly tanky
not enough
not enough demolish
or too much demolish u maybe not sending at 10 stacks 🤔
When playing Colo, your goal in AOE is to only press TC to get bleeds rolling; it's an awkward balancing act, but you want to pull big enough and pace yourself enough so that as many casts as possible go into Revenge, with you pretty much leveraging outburst SS to keep yourself rage'd up
Bloodsurge + CDs + Outburst should be able to carry you, with Revenge providing the main amount of your survival via leech/bru vit value
In ST, since you're not getting stacks of demo from Revenge, as well as the lack of rage, is where TC starts to exist again
haha u suck @chilly brook
Thank you all for your feedback! It’s valuable and heard. Protection Warrior requires a very high APM to play currently, and we feel that the APM requirement is too high. High APM, especially from frequently pressing abilities that are off the GCD like Shield Block and Ignore Pain, can be uncomfortable or even painful for some players. One of ...

I know I'm three days late, but holy fuck that was painful to read
"we're just gonna write down all the things people like about pwar but make it sound like a bad thing because some people can't manage the apm, enjoy the nerfs"
Funny, I have never had issues with the prot warrior apm. But my wrists hurt whenever I try to play fury warrior.
I Like fast gameplay, this is why i Play Retail and m+….
My favourite part is "You won't have excess rage, but at least you won't have shield slam to press, so you can use excess rage on revenge or other abilities" 
so I don't spam shield slam as colo?
phew that's what I thought
Know it's an m+ question rather than a warrior one, but what key level do you reckon doing the middle before the last boss in Arakara is?
I had a group last night tell me it was fine in an 11, and it was, but I haven't gone middle since I was doing like 9s so have no feel for it.
left can be aids too if you get slowed by 400%
but as warrior you should be fine there
left is aids but middle is cancerous
when i first read that I thought you were talking about politics 
yea they're insane
like revenge is a good and satisfying button to press
please make your dissatisfaction known on the forums, we at least have to try 🙂
ha no lol
unfortunately I'm eu
Yeah I've never had an issue going left except the first couple of times getting used to dealing with the slowes, but once I got used to holding avatar/intervene as well as leap it was fine
regarding the feedback thread
I understand they want to reduce the apm, at the same time aren't you afraid with more stats from S2 and S3 gear it would be near impossible to not waste rage ?
increase in stats next season wouldnt make the spec that much more wasteful than it is now
It doesnt work for me, still can post despite reaching lvl 10 yestarday 
but I'll post feedback on EU
we never waste rage, always can press IP 
if u havent u may have to leave exiles reach to be able to post
i couldnt until i left it
Thanks, will try
At some point we would just stop stacking haste and stack the other secondaries more
tbh I don't even mind them reducing the apm that much, it's just that, as always, it's a half assed unclear rework which solve like 20% of the problems while introducing new ones
Due to DR
It has gotten a lot better than what it was previously with the initial changes.
It's still worse than what it is currently, but strength wise it's getting there.
The gameplay just feels bad compared to now to me personally.
what is the biggest offender you would say ? shield slam number of casts ? avatar uptime ?
Definitely ss numbers
some dude on the wow forums figures we can get 442% attack power dmg from revenge
442% of 0 is still 0
yeah I'm just making a joke

I wouldn't worry about performance metrics, they will get there. Question is solely on if you like the new gameplay pace or not
no
having dead globals could arguably be a performance metric as well as a gameplay pace issue
Colossus already has lulls on single target, so I imagine this will only be worse
it isnt too different since you spend most of your rage on revenge anyway as colossus.
but just by feels on ptr it still is noticeably slower
like 60ish compared to 70ish cpm in a key for colo
Was sending at 10 😦
innit 4?
odd i dunno my demolish was doing like 50k more dps than yourself
Even with the higher haste or it’s just the strategist nerf that ruins the gameplay ?
I enjoy the fast gameplay - smashing buttons,not having a empty GCD. Strategist nerf and the overall rage reduction messed all that up.
pressing buttons fast, yes
mindlessly mashing buttons, no
92 or whatever the hell apm
approaching mindless brain rot
literally an input every 0.5 or 0.75 seconds
no room for thought in game play like that
I mean, have you ever played an instrument?
Kinda similar concepts in terms of some people's interpretation of joy
is there a stance macro floating around that includes berserker?
Tbh it’s similar smashing as other melees spec, it’s just the buttons you smash cast a spell bc it’s an off gcd
You know everyone spam the next gcd during the gcd
So it’s more playing with fingers than smashing
yes it's in the pinned post. For fury you can just rewrite battle stance to berserker stance.
we weren’t tho
What if they happened to only look at Squeak! logs for APM and made the decision based off of that 
honestly we should all just edit logs to make our apm appear 30% slower so we get fixed(this is a JOKE do NOT do this this makes peoples jobs more ASS)
Logs apm are not keyboard apm
I think when blizz talks about apm, it’s the real physical apm
Why look at logs apm at all, as it includes procs and what not 
Most of that is filtered out nowadays
Idk for prot warrior specifically rn though
Even if it didn’t include procs, it is not real apm
Hasn’t been that way in a long time
Assuming you’re referring to souls counting as casts
Yep, good old BF and A
RL was angry at me, cause my APM was too low compared to his
?
I dunno
Hello guys
Hi 
What stat u prefer on prot crit or versa ?
Thanks a lot 🙂
Pve M+ im playing
And i feel week sometimes especialy gb
Keys like 12 13
Crit is completely fine for thane too
Playing m+, you do.
GB trucks tanks, but use spell reflect and stops correctly and it is a breeze
Doesnt make a difference in terms of tankiness really
But just like Funky said, the few things that are really dangerous can be reflected
...as well as the enforcers if you think you can facetank 10 stacks 
In a 13 you can facetank em just fine
just don't show your back at any point
My BDK cant even handle them well on a 10
I just run away with DND
Stupid sexy white swings
if they buff the hell out of vampire survivor, im all in
not even i hate pwar, just, its been too long since i've been healer and wait times are too long as dps
so that really only leaves tank for what i play and enjoy
hunter was THE thing i was good at in BFA
dunno how or why, had never played a hunter till then
You know, once you taste the healer/tank queue….
yes, but same can be said for me with rogue and hunter
you get geared on one of those turn into killing machine
helped ALOT that i had heroic font and was troll for haste and crit mega buff
i could do the dual buff trinket and beseker racial
So what doom client you discussing? CBA to read the wall
I’m playing dps evoker or Druid just bc the m+ queue next season
dps evoker aka aug
I have a regular guild (the ones where you play what you want)
Ofc we try to have raid buffs
jokes on you i was actually playing doom recently
OG, for now, or well, kixeye official remake, whatever the hell this thing is
Are you excited for the new one
Lol
Lmao even
"Warriors in wow are physically 'painful' to play, that's why blizzard is changing them"
shocking
oops I posted this in the wrong section originally
for prot..
Need some help.. three options in vault at myth track and I am not sure what direction to take. Myth helm (currently hero track), myth track skarmorac shard (currently heroic MQM, Sacbrood), or myth track Earthen Nullification Aegis shield (crit/vers/speed - currently using hero track shield)
Tough choice this late into the season
Cause everything gunna be replaced in like 5 weeks
Depends what you goal is i suppose till the end of the season
tanking keys mostly
Shield then or trinket for damage
Patch probably early march due to raid testing being dealyed
Plundy ends late feb as well
So second week of march i suppose
Would be my guess for season start
12s?
all 10s is like 2600, 400io from 2 levels?
maybe that does sound right, like 25io per individual key level
gonna push two and a half lvls more next season then 
I've found guy on r.io that has 2999,9, so it looks like half of dungeons must be +13 in a decent time
March 4th/5th is the likely guess
Or the week after
I guess patch on 26.02 and season week later
they are prob going to wait for tw to end
& then give a grace period week
then patch, then season
all of those keys are attrocius to run
the ones he needs
unless he wants to do 14 mists prolly easiest
Would they announce a raid date less than 1 month before?
Theyre all ez
siege and ara seem harder to time due to time length requirement
cuz you got extra pulls, extra boss
HARD pulls,
i wasnt much a fan of running that one
You can full wipe 3x and still time it
yea, no way they start season when event is still going, the only question is if they do empty period between event and patch, or not, and if they do - how long it will be, a week or maybe two
Historically they have
next month, it dropped in +4 first keystone i ran
we are going to roll off your trinket, mr tank guy
all 4 of us have decided to roll for it and if you lose too bad give it to us
this 1st boss trinket thing was hilarious at begining of season/preseason
i swear i wish i had the footage of them rolling it
but i had opened some other game taht i didnt close before relaunching wow
so the program didnt recognize wow opened, start recording
another bs pain in ass thing i deal with recording but anyway
now to figure out what button to bind demolish to
Shift-F
Q it is
I think it’s 1 on mine if I remember
1 is charge >:(
C is charge for me
C is character screen 
I used to have pot on C, but I went crazy pressing C out of habit
Shift C is heroic leap
not easily
I am not going to fight over two decades of muscle memory, C is character screen
Took me 1 week to get used to not have zoom in / out on scroll wheel
I would need to put something I use very often on C, to rebind my memory
btw, shift-C is battle shout :v
I click battle shout
Yeah now it is at the raid buff place on my thing
Bingo, the coins :v
When do ptr patch notes come out like what day? And also when is 11.1 releasing? Anyone know?
either end of today NA or sometime tomorrow
Noone knows for sure, we guess mid-early january; notes gets dropped sporadically today/tomorrow
january I say, february
11.1 is either the week plunder ends, so feb 25th, or the week after, then S1 starts 1-2 weeks after that
it will be the week after plundy most likely
just in time for monster hunter wilds
Ok so still a lot of time for them to make changes to warrior 👍
or the week after terbulent timeways end which i think is the same week
Ye, I wouldnt worry about that - warrior will be in a decent place by launch
yer basically to match that
Playstyle is different - but output will be there
so players dont go play it
I just want warrior to be equivalent to guardian Druid at least
In what way?
Just in overall mythic + viability
You don’t want to be like guardian Druid
Well, warrior is already more viable than druid. Dont think that gonna change
That is "viable" in the most silly of terms, btw
The only good side of bear is : you can turn your back
Yeah fair wnough
I just saw a lot of people dooming about how bad prot was in ptr so I know it’s a low bar but I just want it to not be completely awful lol
I was thinking that brewmaster could surpass prot perfomance next season in both M+ and raid. I play a lot of brewmaster too and cant decide next main
Also I was curious how frequent stuns are in mythic + environment, I was maybe going to do orc for stun resistance because when I was leveling tanking in timewalking dungeons stunning was prevalent, is it relevant in mythic + or very rarely?
Stuns are very rare i play human and almost dont use my racial
Really unusual to be stunned and it’s not an AoE you can dodge or smth you can prevent
Bc tank stunned = tank dead usually
Stuns are only a punishment mechanic, so if you do a misstake, you get stunned
Saw a lot of 3 seconds stuns that can be avoidable. Not something problematic
And just : dwarf racial
Yeah I always see stuff about dwarf being op but can’t bring myself to play a lil midget
Play whatever you want tbh, but if you want to min max race, dwarf racial is really good
depends on raid comp; id argue bear>prot war for raid this tier if you need druid buff
and warrior dps is always pretty good
really devalues Prot War
for M+; it looks like its basically Prot Pal>Everyone else
like, doesnt even matter
We shall see, tuning hasnt hit yet
oh, Im just saying right now
i cant predict the future
my money is on VDH
for season 2
Tuning never ends AND never comes at the same time
Warrior ir one of the worst raid tanks unless you cheese the specific boss with spell reflect or block
I don't think there's such a thing as a "bad raid tank".
I trust in YoDa's tierlist, S tier is BDK
like, its solid all the way through
There's some just bosses which are made stupidly easy because of stuff like Mass-grip.
its just.... raid buff
Ill believe it when I see it
Play experiments mythic with warrior in aberrus 
I did.
S4 SL, it can happen, just need 100% uptime on DRW
🤔
well you dont need two mass grips
but double blood makes it super easy
can also use a VDH
I actually enjoyed experiments as prot.
I just remember the DoT shrekt Pwarr
Had to actually use your brain for once.
BDK just danced
And for most guilds you don’t need double mass grips bc it’s like 2-3 months after
I suffered like a pig in that fight and my friend dk just laughed at my face
I never actually played start of a season that was an xpac launch, so they do have a week or 2 gap between patch and season opening/starting?
Start December we started reclean ovinax with usual tanks (bdk brew) bc doesn’t matter anymore
yeah, think of it like a grace period for stress testing the new zone/dungeons/etc
Yeah. Dont know if was because of the raid buff but was easy to handle 3 stacks with bdk
I think there is always 1 week between patch and season no ?
at least when we got there like week 2/3, watching the fucker fly away and you are like 'I cant death strike!'
made me madge
meanwhile Prot War takes 3 stacks and is like 'lol, tickle'
also, being slow

Second or third week our bdk started to tank second boss inside the pool
it was in pug I remember I was not in my current guild yet

week 1 tanking it on warr I remember the spooderlings were more dangerous than the boss
I didn’t myth raid the first week so I wouldn’t know
and than warcraftlogs excluded them from logs by like week 5/6 and suddenly they stopped dying and shreded through my cotank on farm

Has there ever been a point where shield slam has been AOE?
I know it dispelled smth before
Well, a tierset made it cleave, if I remember correctly. Nowdays tho, Revenge/Clap is your AoE tools with Shield Charge/Ravager as CDs.
I might just be bad at cleaving it or shit dead by time it comes back up
50k sounds like crit variance, without looking for context

no no u dont understnad, bdk can tank without defensives 
"NO CDS!!!1!"

Season 2 DF After Last Stand expired for 20sec ss was bursting fire aoe
they just giga nerfed weekly vault keys
if you just want your myth gear vault, be happy
Why would that make me happy, 10s already piss easy?
It did like a wave of damage or something in s2 df
Idk about prior
I just want to have fun playing
So play higher keys
not as a tank! whoo tww
also if you timed all 12s all 13s etc the key wont deplete below that anymore
which is huge
i never tag my key anyway
And 12 will have like 30% less dmg and health than now, the ladder to high keys will be much more smooth
it depends
I think 15 will be the new 12, something like that
The week 1 "12s are too hard" posts will be missed
I guess they just did what people asked with crooked lines, they nerfed all the numbers and removed champion's peril for the majority of people (a minority push plus 12)
So tank and heals will be easier for this great portion
they buff m0 too
You have to time it first?
I thought they got rid of the key depletion thing all together.
initial plan was get rid of depletation below 12 if you have X rio
^
Instead, once a player has finished all eight seasonal dungeons at Mythic 12 within the timer, their keystone will no longer automatically delevel below 12; once a player has timed all dungeons at Mythic 13, the new floor will be 13; and so on for all key levels at or above 12.
this is very cool

jesus christ
colossus is kinda hard
my brain doesn't work
brain says NO to revenge
Gear in M+ will be a piece of cake
Press when procs, and if you dont need IP, its ez
rage starving yourself is just part of the colossus package
Colossus feels like dragonflight warrior, just remember good old times when you didnt had the excessive rage of thane
I never press revenge over ss right
welllll
If the target count is high and you don't need IP to survive
I say let bloodsurge carry you to the top of the meters pressing 1 button
Hm, so now it is, if you timed all 14s, it wont deplete under 14?
If so that is huge - me like
but we were still swimming in rage in dragonflight
That's what it sounds like, Kitty
If so, me happy - will make PuGing a lot more enjoyable. Even tho, I prob wont PuG next season 
Hm?
colossus
Col got this nice static ish feel, you get used to it
I prefer thane more also unless I want to cheese trash or adds.
Rev, SS, rev, rev, SS, rev, SS, rev, rev
Demolish
Tanks aren't supposed to damage, though, otherwise it ruins the insecurity of your average WoW player
so then they have to go outside and start suplexing people's puppies
if the tank is having fun, no one is having fun
I know you joking, but urgh... my head
the worst part is i'm only half joking
I know
I know because puppies can easily be suplexed
I play tank, and beat DPS on the regular
