How is Colossus prot doing after the recent buffs?

jagged pier
#

Fine like it always was

sweet summit

#

What's colossus dps like relative to dps specs?

#

I heard all the tanks are doing like 1/3rd

#

which just sounds unfun to me

cerulean tusk
#

Like 1/5-6th before buffs

round pendant
jagged pier
#

We will get nerfed, the top end tanks will beat the low end dps, the dps will complain

#

Tanks will be nerfed again

ionic fern
#

Why are you comparing yourself to DPS'ers?

cerulean tusk
#

Not all

#

Monk got 15%, DH got a bit more

#

Spreading lies

#

smh

round pendant
#

then our impact on the damage side of the keys is less

#

which isn't fun (imo)

cerulean tusk
#

You mean 1/5th*

#

Tanks did 2m ish on PTR, DPS did around 6-8m

round pendant
#

I highly doubt it's 1/5th

ionic fern
#

Eeh,as long as I keep aggro and do decent DPS comparing to other tanks I'm fine.

round pendant
#

yeah your math ain't mathin

cerulean tusk
#

Fair, it is closer to 1/4th, as I was kind to round up tank DPS from what I seen

round pendant
ionic fern
#

Play DPS.

round pendant
#

sorry I like being able to run more than 1 key an hour

cerulean tusk
#

Ngl, if tanks do no dam, I am not enjoying it. As the less impact me minmaxing DPS matters, the less I am motivated to do it

round pendant
ionic fern
#

Tanks do damage..but comparing tank damage to DPS damage is absurd.

round pendant
#

You're missing the point

ionic fern
#

Explain the point.

round pendant
#

I did already but sure. If we go from doing 2/3rds of a dps players damage in a key to doing 1/3rds in the next season then our impact on mobs dying is literally halved?

#

that feels bad considering we've been doing big dam for 5 seasons now

#

I like being able to compensate for shit dps players in pugs too

#

but if we're just doing peanuts compared then it's just less fun for me + like FunkyKitty said it's less engaging since optimising it becomes less imapctful

cerulean tusk
#

Not really, the % on overall, matters - if tanks are 1/10th of the DPS, then nothing matters. 1/3rd? Kinda matters. 2/3 now it really matters.
If you want the tank to feel they have impact in keys, and they are supposed not to be all about how well they can live.

Basically, just want me pressing buttons to matter.

#

Not to mention: Bigger numbers is more fun

round pendant
#

god I wish this discord let me use other server's emojis

ionic fern
#

I can't see why you'd think we're going to be doing less damage all of a sudden..the keys I've done on ptr look pretty much the same as now.

#

ToP 10 as MT...and I messed up a lot

cerulean tusk
#

That is live amount of DPS?

#

the hell is that DPS?

#

it low AF

round pendant
#

are the numbers not going up next season huh

cerulean tusk
#

That is less DPS than ppl do on live keys

#

what the acutal hell did you link

ionic fern
#

Not sure if you guys know what downtime is and how much walking there is in ToP.

cerulean tusk
#

Hm...

#

hmmm...

round pendant
#

Either way, Dorki said in his video tanks are doing 30% as much as dps (before 20% nerf)

#

but the last 2 years I've been doing almost as much as the worst dps in my pugs

#

so I don't want that to become even bigger of a gap personally

cerulean tusk
#

Depends on how you pull it and what skips you do, but a lot overall. Why?

round pendant
#

I don't think I would even play tank if I did healer dps

cerulean tusk
#

We are far from healer DPS on PTR, dont worry

#

That wont be an issue, if there isnt a broken DPS trinky

#

On the beta there was this weird on use, where you healed this thing, and it did a bazillion damage

#

But - if that aint there, ya shouldnt worry

round pendant
#

Tank is pretty easy but what satisfaction am I getting from just handholding a bunch of zugzug pugger dps

#

I get the reponsibility of dictating the dungeon and none of the fun of big dam? no thanks

cerulean tusk
#

Tank should never be the big dam

#

Should just be impactful dam

round pendant
#

yeah ofc

#

I think tanks doing 1/2-2/3rd is ideal

cerulean tusk
#

I dont have my details data anymore sadge

jagged pier
#

I think doing more is ideal

#

Mop was peak

cerulean tusk
#

2/3rds seem fair, and it is important that the tanks moment of glory doesnt dwarf DPS

#

I get depressed as my Fury AoE burst peaks at 14m, and ppally does 20m, no bueno

urban bane
#

god i miss mop days sadge

sweet summit
#

I need to do more than bad dps players

#

I need to put them in their place

spring cedar
#

doing 2/3 of damage of DPS classes just means that you are a buffed up DPS spec

ionic nimbus
jagged pier
#

Random procs off gear is not peak or interesting

ionic fern
#

I hated that crap so bad I quit raiding.

cerulean tusk
#

Twilight Dev was a ton of fun as a final season trololol thing

#

I did find those beams that deleted giga packs fun

ionic fern
#

Playing your class super well in a raid? Get rekt,some random who played the class partly afk got a better parse cause his TD procced on adds.

#

Peak competitive design.

cerulean tusk
#

I am sad you did not find it to be fun for the content you were doing

#

ya missed out

#

Doing boosting keys, solo, with twilight dev was peak casual fun

#

(not as fun, was the whole getting the corruption process, as I was only getting versa procs ones... but oh well)

ionic fern
#

I just brought all leech corruption for m+.

distant flame
#

So war prot is dead tank or not

cerulean tusk
#

Far from dead, depending on content you are aiming for

#

Meta? Probably not

distant flame
#

I play war and only war but wow comunity are meta men so be taking in M+ with my warri is shitty annoying

cerulean tusk
#

As a tank, you should have no issues PuGing or getting a premade tho

#

so ya got that going for ya

distant flame
#

S1 in high key i was refused or repalced with pala fucking prot i hate this class ><

ionic nimbus
#

Like this season you will get your invites to a certain level

#

Highkeys will mostly pick meta, but that’s not a tank thing

distant flame
#

If war tank is dead no one will play it and i think we will have the same scenario of the pala tank in s1 that was shit and after buff it becomes god tiers

ionic nimbus
#

We are much better then Paladin before rework

#

That was disgusting to play…

distant flame
#

Yes

#

At the begining of s1 war prot was high tiers

ionic nimbus
#

At the beginning there is no meta, it takes weeks and gear to build the meta. It just says that Warri was not bad

cerulean tusk
#

Start of expansion: Warrior need a shield, we fully geared and ready to go. We look strong!

#

a few weeks in, we get nerfed, we looked strong - but, others already going ahead of us, as they gotten their gear that matters

#

end of expansion, we close to useless, so we get nerf reverted to the point we started at. To then repeat the cycle

ionic nimbus
#

And we were not outstanding. Guardian was pretty in the same state

distant flame

I didnt see a lot of players playing gardian okayge

#

Am I dumpstering my raid's mythic prog by playing prot warr in S2

ionic fern
#

No.

urban bane
#

Almost certainly not.

ionic fern
#

If you play the class poorly..yes.

#

But that goes for all classes.

onyx vessel
#

so your saying yoda plays prot war poorly keksquad

undone beacon
#

My raid lead asked if I was okay swapping to another tank if needed and I was like... am I missing something

#

Didn't know if a certain tank was demanded for any of the upcoming fights

plush tendon
#

only reason would be raid buff

#

Prot War with all the buffs and colossus I feel like is gonna slap in raid

#

do some silly dam

undone beacon
#

Yuhh

#

Luckily I finally found a team with a full suite of buffs

#

I don't have to be in mage jail for another tier

tribal wharf
#

even though i have alot of nasty things to say about blizzard and wow

#

protwarrior is still S tier in my heart

#

and its not even really close

#

if i had all tanks at 2500 3000 even lets say

#

i would still play protwarrior first, or like, to survive first.

#

if they say the key is hard,

#

less potholes in the road as protwarrior

jagged pier
#

If your not bdk your dumpstering prog anyway cause u cant immune very mechanic and grip every add just saying

formal elbow
#

hello fellow warriors, how does prot is playing at PTR atm? is it slower? not so much IP spam ?

tribal wharf
#

grip is almost as good but more situational

#

and a bit one and done for some pulls

#

cuz its like, pull dude into kill pile

#

done

#

still try to use dark command as thought it was taunt and im on pwar

#

more than grip, for its taunt

#

prot paladin is simply too many buttons for me to be enjoyable and other tanks i associate as being not as durable due to no shield and weaker base armor

i pray for a buff to intervene, would be cool to actually help the party with that

cerulean tusk

We simply need more bosses that work like 1st in NW, and I am not sure I really want that

#

Currently you can absorb a lot of random shots that matter in prior, and shit like that. But it is just busywork

#

APM was never really reduced, we always filled our GCD, just a minor down with IP spam.
If you want lower AMP, you need to go for a class that isnt haste scaled or is a caster

cerulean tusk
#

Will it be 100% optimal play? No. Will you be able to do up to 15s and mythic raid? Ye, I guarentee it.

cerulean tusk
#

Mastery grants critblock, between the parry and critblocks, you get a lot more value than from versa

#

Also, you hit harder

brittle owl
#

but vers makes me survivable

small steeple
#

Is parry a 100% mitigation?

cerulean tusk
#

Parry removes 100% of the swing parried, ye

#

SB removes partial, up to 85%, yet allows on-hit effects to apply

brittle owl
#

but muh vers

cerulean tusk
#

vers great if it is magic dam killing you and/or bleeds

#

That a healer job tho

small steeple
#

looking at next season, lots of bleeds and dots soooo

cerulean tusk
#

Time to build 50% versa

small steeple
#

bring back corruptions lol

brittle owl

haste corruption peepohide

It was more powerful mid tho, when it didnt have the damage/target limits

I only played BDK and Warr tho, I wouldnt know if that was glory or not

fresh valley
#

warrior bro's, i've been healing this season, and I keep getting tanks getting clapped by melee swings lined up, like 80% to dead insta. I remember when i tanked way back in BFA i had to be worried about resetting melee swing timers and having them sync up and clapping cheeks, is that still a thing?

small steeple
#

yup yup

cerulean tusk
#

Especially if you got a BDK tank, or any non-warrior

small steeple
#

Just micro kite when aoe stops are used till desynced

cerulean tusk
#

It is reason #1 you dont throw your AoE stops willynilly

#

you will kill the tank

small steeple
#

tis true

cerulean tusk
#

VDH exsists?

#

pftz

#

Warrior tho - it is a diff from going 100 to 95%, to 100% to 80%

#

we dont care

small steeple
#

I've once compared pwar to a piece of annealed tempered steel. It will bend, and deflect everything.... until it just snaps

cerulean tusk
#

I would rather compare it to a brick; it is solid, every chip, still solid - untill it is all dust

fresh valley
#

awesome, so whenever aoe stops, my tank just needs to slightly re-position to stagger out melee swings

cerulean tusk
#

Yep, standard stuff

fresh valley
#

and yeah, i never see prot war's, it's always VDH and Prot palls getting wrecked

formal elbow
fresh valley
#

all these fotm reroller's getting into the 13 and 14 range now and mistakes like this start to matter a lot

jagged gust

Madox is still betting on an arms angle next season

#

Which is also pure doom from my perspective

cerulean tusk
#

Sounds likely, sure - I just want Fury to be more than "it can do the content" levels.

#

Worst of worst case, I will focus on Pwarrior for a season

jagged gust

Yeah I'd prefer not having to play the uncooked tofu of melee specs next season

I do zero dam and have zero rage

what's the point boys sadge

jagged gust

Even when VDH is meta, it's still just a leather wearing emo lad in the end

Warrior will prevail

round pendant
#

aoe kick needs to not be such an awkward point

#

and bitter immunity should be baseline

cyan bronze
#

aoe kick would be goated if it was easy to take

ember token
#

I would rather have Challenging Shout to be baseline and Disturbing Shout to be it's own talent in its place on the tree

#

We dont really need much attention to be fair, Colossus seems like a lot of fun and dam, but lacking utility wise heavily

cerulean tusk

AoE interupt would be goated if it instead was an actual silence

wdym. easier than writing /simc ingame?

Like, if you don't have a character/class. Can you custom build it with the gear combinations without all of that, and talent combinations

#

Sorry this is probably not the place for me to be asking this stuff

fresh belfry
#

i mean sure you can custombuild whatever you want but it's a lot easier starting with an existing character than writing everything manually line by line

#

once you have a character with the basic information Top Gear is very handy to just click everything together however you want it

hardy snow
fresh belfry
#

oh yeah thats actually what I came here for

#

is this intended?

#

i guess it is

urban portal
#

but its not hard either

#

you take a baseline from somewhere else

#

then you modify talents and gear

#

both you can get from wowhead

fresh belfry
#

i find it easier to just use top gear and then take the gearset/loadout you want and quick sim it

#

if you do that you have the character loadout in the sim profile and can just copy paste it

My friend's been healing a long time but that comes with bad habits from when healers weren't fighting tooth and nail to keep people alive every gcd

His main issue I'm noticing from looking at his logs is just CD usage

crazy how you can just not use basically any CDs in a +10 and do fine lmao

Yeah that’s what I had to tell him to just press convoke on every pack or even when is a little bit scared for example, you have shit ton time between things

#

And for the barksin I just told him to use it on cd whoever he puts it on

To get used to use it

If that can help, I tried first to make my friend used to press things before he understands himself why he needs to do bc no dmg in non push keys

Even if I could proof that DK is best or whatever. Actually one class change could change everything and patch isn’t out yet. We will get some tuning in the first weeks aswell. .. actually we got 2 very good tanks with Pala and DH. Dk will be pog for raid. And the rest is just open. Don’t bother about tier lists. Even if it’s a good one. 99% of the contents can easy be played with b tier specs. It’s more worth to improve the own playstyle than minmaxing classchoice

ionic fern
#

Jeah,MT is still solid in S2. Potentially better defensively,but significantly worse offensively. The changes done to Prot were great for Colossus with increased IP value and the BT change etc,but they did not bring anything new to MT.
The defensive part of Colossus is made up for by the tier set and playing IO tho.hmmNod

Seems to be a Colossus angle as a default build for your average players in m+ with MT remaining a decent alternative.

Which brings some needed synergies with talents (IO) and double SW which is nice

if they get stunned

they basically become syncd

cerulean tusk

All you do to counter this, is to backpeddal a bit, so the mobs dont all reach you at that exact time when the stun ends

Not that it matters much for warrior, just block it and smile

yes

jagged pier

#

if stun all of them at the same time, and they all break out at the same time

#

the 1.6s swingtimer of the mobs will almost CERTAINLY be synced up to be ready

#

therefor they will all swing at the same time when they break out

#

you can outplay this by, like funkykitty said, backpedalling

#

or you re-stun some of them, or use our target capped fear, or you dont backpedal and pop SW

#

having a good chunk of parry helps extensively vs those situations aswell

And on the swing topic, for trash abilities, it depends on pull and if you sync them again with stuns , ( like boralus you pull at the same time the patrol and the pack 2nd pull = you will get grabbed and cleaved at the same time)
