How is Colossus prot doing after the recent buffs?
Fine like it always was
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/how-to-use-raidbots-and-run-character-simulations-6050
it's quite simple once you get used to it, but can be very overwhelming in the start with all the options
check this wowhead post and if you have any further questions feel free to shoot
MT and Colossus are both fine in the new patch. 
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
Like 1/5-6th before buffs

We will get nerfed, the top end tanks will beat the low end dps, the dps will complain
Tanks will be nerfed again
Well,all tanks just got a flat 20 percent damage buff.
Why are you comparing yourself to DPS'ers?

Because if we go from doing 2/3rds to 1/3rd
then our impact on the damage side of the keys is less
which isn't fun (imo)
I highly doubt it's 1/5th
Eeh,as long as I keep aggro and do decent DPS comparing to other tanks I'm fine.
yeah your math ain't mathin
That's fair but I like doing dam
sorry I like being able to run more than 1 key an hour
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

Tanks do damage..but comparing tank damage to DPS damage is absurd.
You're missing the point
Explain the point.
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
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
god I wish this discord let me use other server's emojis
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
are the numbers not going up next season 
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
Depends on how you pull it and what skips you do, but a lot overall. Why?
I don't think I would even play tank if I did healer dps
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
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
I dont have my details data anymore 
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
god i miss mop days 
doing 2/3 of damage of DPS classes just means that you are a buffed up DPS spec
Twilight Devastation was Peak, disintegrating pulls by 3ple shower procc!!!
Random procs off gear is not peak or interesting
I hated that crap so bad I quit raiding.
Twilight Dev was a ton of fun as a final season trololol thing
I did find those beams that deleted giga packs fun
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.
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)
I just brought all leech corruption for m+.
So war prot is dead tank or not
I play war and only war but wow comunity are meta men so be taking in M+ with my warri is shitty annoying
As a tank, you should have no issues PuGing or getting a premade tho
so ya got that going for ya
S1 in high key i was refused or repalced with pala fucking prot i hate this class ><
Like this season you will get your invites to a certain level
Highkeys will mostly pick meta, but thatβs not a tank thing
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
At the beginning there is no meta, it takes weeks and gear to build the meta. It just says that Warri was not bad
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
And we were not outstanding. Guardian was pretty in the same state
I didnt see a lot of players playing gardian 
This is the copium I am looking for
You can with nitro π€
No, it's a server setting; they don't allow external emojis without being like a TC/Moderator level member
very third reich behaviour indeed
Move down armd
Am I dumpstering my raid's mythic prog by playing prot warr in S2
No.
Almost certainly not.
so your saying yoda plays prot war poorly 
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
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
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
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
If your not bdk your dumpstering prog anyway cause u cant immune very mechanic and grip every add just saying
hello fellow warriors, how does prot is playing at PTR atm? is it slower? not so much IP spam ?
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
Bit dated, but from what testing I did do: It felt kinda like live, only that you would have to pool your rage with more care. IP spam was down, but it was not slower if you played it correctly. Just a bit more punishing than before.
Now after the 5% add to SS resets, ontop of all the other adds, it should just feel that much forgiving.
Seems about right
i pray for a buff to intervene, would be cool to actually help the party with that
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
hm..ok thank you pal! I had hoped it would indeed be a lit LESS spammy, bec. my left hand, cannot handle the very high APM +playstyle+ so good :/
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
Oh yeah, real advice to reduce APM. Play with Crit/Mastery, don't go for the meta builds that wants to speed things up. You will still be able to do all your content, but with less strain and a lot less APM.
Play Col, and have most of your off GCD casts on a bind you already press. Shieldblock can go unto Shield Slam, and you remove APM right there, as an example.
Will it be 100% optimal play? No. Will you be able to do up to 15s and mythic raid? Ye, I guarentee it.
π thank you π
mastery? not verse?
Mastery grants critblock, between the parry and critblocks, you get a lot more value than from versa
Also, you hit harder
but vers makes me survivable
Is parry a 100% mitigation?
Parry removes 100% of the swing parried, ye
SB removes partial, up to 85%, yet allows on-hit effects to apply
but muh vers
looking at next season, lots of bleeds and dots soooo
Time to build 50% versa
bring back corruptions lol
haste corruption 
Do what the pug tanks I play with do: Run whatever stats dps needs, then after one death swear at the healer and insta leave
100% plus verse corruption
The classic Pug tank:
Runs in, pulling everyhing with no running dCDs.
Dies.
Leaves.
π
Though I did that more on my bdk. And I didn't play too much after corruption vendor came out. 2 TD lvl 3 then stat corruptions
Sometimes I wish I stuck around to see that stuff, but meh
It was more powerful mid tho, when it didnt have the damage/target limits
That was when you deleted half the dung with it
Full mastery bear tank
BAM
I only played BDK and Warr tho, I wouldnt know if that was glory or not
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?
yup yup
Especially if you got a BDK tank, or any non-warrior
Just micro kite when aoe stops are used till desynced
why you mean to us bdk/vdh mains? jkjk
tis true
VDH exsists?
pftz
Warrior tho - it is a diff from going 100 to 95%, to 100% to 80%
we dont care
I've once compared pwar to a piece of annealed tempered steel. It will bend, and deflect everything.... until it just snaps
I would rather compare it to a brick; it is solid, every chip, still solid - untill it is all dust
awesome, so whenever aoe stops, my tank just needs to slightly re-position to stagger out melee swings
Yep, standard stuff
and yeah, i never see prot war's, it's always VDH and Prot palls getting wrecked
sadly i think COL feels totally clunky...that one ability...that hardlocks you at 1 place..feels super meh :/ demolish or so
all these fotm reroller's getting into the 13 and 14 range now and mistakes like this start to matter a lot
but its so beefy
Well, thane is based around APM, and being GO GO GO, so if you cant play that. You out of luck.
If you want lower APM, then the ability with a cast should be a god send for you
Not to mention, look at the DPS meter when you press it
Ya will get dopamine
revenge go brr
Revenge goes brrr indeed
But col go BOOM
well, demo, but when I say demo
the ppl come out of the woodwork to attak me

It is Demo, and they know it
still have PTSD from zekvir lvl 2, killing me with demo in his big AOE π but finally i got him down ^^ as prot
You haven't done enough timewalking as a non-tank, then
I've seen a Prot War die through BSV somehow in there
I died in tw on my dwarf pwar earlier
(my shield broke and I didn't realise)
then the dh in my group just went and solo'd the final boss
weirdest experience of my life
how do we feel about the nerfs chat
am I switching back to Arms
is prot DoA
should I force my M+ team to find a new tank
hmmm, i liked the idea of collosus but seeing how much worse it was compared to MT this patch i kinda like the idea of giving collosus a go
<@&257983573498265600>
Stip clicking the fucking links for one god damn day
stip this
Was a bot here?
Still gucci, lotta bleeds tho so I hope you're a dwarf with an aug friend
pog
I'm dooming about S2 pwar
Why?
fun
Madox is still betting on an arms angle next season
Which is also pure doom from my perspective
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
Yeah I'd prefer not having to play the uncooked tofu of melee specs next season
So prot it is lol
When warrior is top, we Zug Zug. When warrior is bottom... we Zug Zug.
guys dont doom honestly
the streamers are giving us a bad rap because theres more than 1 bleed next season
^ this.
The fewer streamers playing protwar the better
As long it aint another Temple boss, I will deal with a few bleeds
I'm still seeing Yoda's day 1 build in pugs lol
Warrior is goated idc
A lot of the bleeds are avoidable and hurt at high stacks
People are taking the tier sets way too seriously
I just feel like warrior gets shafted
meanwhile vdh has 1 season of being meh
and instantly rebuffed to be S tier again
my CCs don't even kick anymore
I do zero dam and have zero rage
what's the point boys 
Even when VDH is meta, it's still just a leather wearing emo lad in the end
Warrior will prevail
aoe kick needs to not be such an awkward point
and bitter immunity should be baseline
aoe kick would be goated if it was easy to take
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
AoE interupt would be goated if it instead was an actual silence
Good, that means I can keep destroying the dmg meter
Cuz oh boy
Most of the streamers don't really play prot warrior very well so I'd take what they say with a grain of salt.
I've seen a really good bdk, lose to healer dps consistently
They dont play BDK either, dont worry
When the starts align, the blood beast will giveth, but when they are disjointed, it will explode after combat ends
BDK dam almost pure Death Strike; only the uneducated go for Crusader and pray for RNG
inb4 nerf hammer week 2
In pure single target, rune of sangination is better damage, but if even 1 target is added, you want fallen crusader. In m+, this involves a weapon swap on basses
At least for san'layan
Depends on rwf guys
Trust me, dont swap out sang, trust
for deathbringer, Fallen Crusader is always better
is Col damage looking really good now, especially after the 20% buff?
actually not 20% better π€
Well and demolish is buffed by 30%
I mean, in comparison to other specs/classes
True, 30% demo is prob fun big number
I don't know what other tanks are at
I mean people are still using Thane like yoda
But we're well past the 2mil mark π

Wasnt we already?
Nop
Huh, I am disapointed
We were at 1.7mil before the buffs from yday
I am just going to be in denial, and say you didnt play it well enough
This is sims
So how we looking stacked up against all the other tanks friends?
So 0 ip used
Is this pure single target?
Pure ST yes

No clue
In aoe
Haven't seen other tank Sims or performance
we are on the top 6, as always.. which is good tbh
St is probably dog
Pwarr is top 10, all is good in the world
Well I prefer not knowing then, as I am aiming to be prot warrior. But guild is seeing if they need to rearrange me for mythic prog and give buffing to a arms.
Prot warrior is still like bugs eh 
idk anything about pally, but vdh only had the wounded quarry making souls bug left, and that is now no longer a bug
For mythic prog, ya prob want monk and BDK either way
think last one for vdh is fixed
or?
https://mimiron.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kgJYj4N9McQMnFbsaiWwkb/simc
surely something here is wrong or
wq is βfixedβ 
*For Mythic prog in top world 50 guilds
Fuck is this
Cute
Duh but who made it/where is it from
i made it
Ah
vengance needs AR comparsion in there, it will realllly rival FS in pure single target
Pwar talents and gear aren't entirely correct
But number is regardless of that correct
the gear is what I got after optimizing twice
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
like top gear > droptimizer > top gear x2
Howd you sim multiple classes like that at once?
Multiple sim sets
druid?
i reckon that other tanks need to do a lot more APL work than us
dru what?
But like, how do you get them combined, and how do you get the gear/talents for the sim without simc string? Did you use the actually simc app?
Simulationcraft engine/GUI. Contribute to simulationcraft/simc development by creating an account on GitHub.
Jd is hiding bear, cause bear is sleeper broken
I heard they do 3x the AoE of anyone else
Simming for tank dmg 
you can REALLY cook with druids
i will NOT entertain myself with the thought of ever playing druid again
Sorry to interrupt but, at we looking at Colossus for Raid and Thane for M+ or will it just be a Colossus train all the way (As it stands right now/subject to change)
Just use a healing pot bro




I try not to hit execute if ima die but sometimes it glows 
tl;dr you take multiple simc profiles, (usually starting with [CLASSNAME]="[name]"
) and at the end you write single_actor_batch=1
Is there an easy way to set up the character string without activiely having the simc string output?
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
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
isnt this just for arms? in patch notes its under arms, usually if something for hero specs is in general, its in separate category (like for DH)
its not easy
but its not hard either
you take a baseline from somewhere else
then you modify talents and gear
both you can get from wowhead
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
are you okay
it aint under arms only
I mean patch notes, not wowhead's datamines https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/undermined-development-notes/2031155/12
D.R.I.V.E. Wheels now animate when you use a Boost and at a standstill. Fixed some unintended behaviors that occurred while attempting to drift while falling. Fixed a bug related to the Breakneck acting as though itβs falling when itβs really only going over small obstacles. Fixed an issue with Drift, when falling short distances, that would ca...
valhalla awaits me when i die 
demolish is shared between arms and prot 1-1
its just listed under arms cuz patch notes author aint always 100% the same as datamines are
So I know this is for prot, but I took your sim, and added another vdh to it for testing AR, but its saying my talent tree hash has a node unavailable to the spec
youre simming on non-ptr i assume
I dont think so?
11.1 has changes in the talent strings for some classes
you cant copy a talent string from live or retail wowhead
i used ptr wowhead tree
Weird, looking more into it, its running and has the correct talents selected so seems like a weird lil bug
Has anyone done raid testing on the PTR? I'm curious how PWar will be for the new raid
lmao so is prot pal
easiest war spec to do zekvir with?
whatever one youre most comfortable playing
how do i deal with the poison when the heal comes 8 sec after?
someone says that prot war already sims more than aff lock. Any links?
depedns how much affli is simming
and if it does
thats deeply concerning for affli
Do we know how many rage are we going to lose with those 11.1 changes?
ST has been prots weaknest since at least SL right?
you mean, after the yesterday changes? Are you aspecting more change for the class?
Oh yea, I guess I got it backwards lol
yes
we will gain like 30% ST dmg
maybe more
iirc aff sim around 2.1 or 2.2m
its from screens in lock discords, so looks like accurate
damn, if thats the case, damn
Is this aoe or st?
Pure single target
yeah warlock sims from what i heard are always sus
Do we have aoe sims already?
i could
nice, nice
and do you think that dwarf is gonna be needed?
Bro
depends how high u want to go
wtf is that build for aldrachi LOL
no af no sf
dwarf bis aesthetics
Jakey saying Nelf can't get title? Wow toxic
doesnt mean other races cant
u have the correct build for fel scarred too
the build for aldrachi is closer to m+ talents tho
in the sim I linked? Did I leave m+ talents? I was also getting a "talent hash code" error but the talents all looked right
bleeds ignores IP? noob doubt
no
make sense
IP works vs everything
but bleeds are dmg that only evoker can dispell
thats really it
u had a weird mix of talents
prob like 3-10% st to be gained on it
this is what it was suppose to be, is this what got ported?
Comin here just to disagree
ah, haven't raided on dh in a long time
uhhh, got it! and what do you think about bloodsurge? Gonna be mandatory? I mean, cuz of the changes
Iβm still an OG bent over orc
also I think bear is p high st still
yh gained about 150k dps. But I don't think AR apl is set up correctly rn either and needs changes with the new stuff. Meyra said they haven't worked on it yet either
just did a no spb build for AR and it was even higher, within 40k of FS.
Meyra said for damage in single target spb isn't taken next patch. (for AR)
Looks to me that pwarr needs a solid -30% Nerf launch week, to never be tuned again
& you still will take on some fights for paddington
good ok, or bad ok?
its competing with fury
Who doesn't
That's 30% behind where we're supposed to be
why is it so low?
What about a real AoE spec tho, hmm?
wdym low
xd

Kinda like saying
A run fast, he outruns the legless man
Actually, tanks should be #1 in DPS. We're the most threatening, after all
Lets remove threat multipliers completely
Maybe if we somehow scaled with the damage we took...
no they can't do that
And it could even scale our defensive abilities, too, to keep up with the higher intake
I rucking hate DH even more.
You've only added to my list of hate.
I can't believe they took not only meta from my Locks, but Vengeance from my tank
do you know why this is?
warlocks are less loud boomkins
Warlock and Ret, by sheer coincidence ofc, always undersell themselves during tuning
It is usually hearsay like these kind of things
Like the common dislike of a certain hunter, idk why
This was years ago when I was a rogue main but TC folks there always said the warlock APL is just also kinda rough around the edges and there's some interactions which aren't implemented well, too.
IDK if it is entirely malice or what
Donβt tell the doom and gloomers
@strong forum with the damage buffs is BSV worthwhile at all or still trash?
prot warrior c tier for sure 
Thought it could actually be okay if weβre cranking damage?
BSV being worth is up to you
no that talent is dead
Fuck it just let prot do more damage than fury what's the worst that could happen
Just having a 0 iq moment
Fueled by Violence is legitimatly bad this patch
most specs arent properly implenmented in sims
looking at all 3 hunter specs
havent seen anything in keys besides blue boys and hunters beating hus
but warrior as it seems now is going to be quite ok
I've checked pinned,
Can someone tell me if it's Thane or Col next patch?
What's the cookie cutter for the lazy man
Colossus
But both good
Thane probably slightly better if youβre nervous about survivability
My monk friends are sharing this single target comparison, can someone find a error? I cant believe in it
https://mimiron.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pL2gPMT6v1tEvTatKzqQZv/simc
what
monks never sim that well on paper
never have
they are more encounter and dmg intake dependant than any other tank
stagger in a key feels weirdge
has since bfa, tried it like once didnt like, basically same for 9.x
but i liked faeline stomp
i hated the NF thing so much for warrior
but arterial bleed change follows this patch notes structure, its 5% on arms and 3% on prot

that would fit main theme of TWW, quality control doesn't exist, everything is a mess 
the people who write the patch notes arent the same people who patch the game
hence why sometimes things from the patchnotes arent implemented in the game
or why something isnt in the patchnotes but its implemented in the game
like for example the magic stagger buffs in dragonflight
which werent implemented into the game
twice
despite the patchnotes stating they were
if only devs had some supervisor that would check if everything is correct π€
worried about all the bleeds in the upcoming dungeons π¦
anyone have any hope for some more changes?
Sounds like a healer issue
@strong forum what crit value do you think col should swap from roar to spear at? I know next season its probably gonna be that way, is there a known point?
is MT still good next season, i see people saying colossus is better
Everyone is saying to change race to dwarf or embrace the bleed hell
I just always play with an aug do I need to worry about bleeds?
I have no clue
Apparently there are some nasty bleeds next season, but that'll only matter for high keys
If you want to do good aoe, thane is not it
Colossus does absolutely disgusting amounts of aoe dmg compared to weak little thane
fuck it, Demolish it is
Like im talking difference of multiple million
Nome are you optimistic for keys as pwar
I always am
It wouldnt matter for him
I'm prob going for 3k since I want that mount
Easy
dunno how much harder that'll be from the usual 10s I do
Can get that week1
Key scaling is lower
Way lower
Like I was over 2.5k score during heroic week of tww s1
With hardly trying
You have gamer friends though 
Ig
My friends are playing but they're significantly worse than your buddies
good enough for +10s this season though
gotta try and push em to be even better so we can chill for the 3k reward every season
easier
Next season has less tank busters
and super nerfed dungeons/m+
I'm swapping to dwarf 
yeah I heard that too
god I wish my friend played disc and not holy
So should be gucci
holy is so ASS
Eeeehhh
Holy is just more 1 dimensional
But waaaayyyyy better for tank healing
And way better for setting up pulls
pretty bad aoe heals and movement
Cuz guardian angel is 1min cd if you don't proc it
So they can just send it on cd on you
Or rather, on pull
So you're always comfy
should I be telling my friend to use that on me every pull
Yes
I didn't even think about it cause it's not necessary
lmao
but that's a good idea
It's not necessary, but it's awesome af
I love when my healer pops their short CD external on pull on tank
Just on cd
It gets extreme value
Better than never using it, or using it poorly
Just on pull, on cd
(except on bosses)
tbf when he does use it it's usually clutch
but yeah I feel like this next season is gonna be like
healer check every single key and tons of aoe dam
No clue
I wonder if they'll buff holy some more

I can smell a long tank season for me
And I don't mind it since colossus is bangin
Maybe I'll get to tank raid aswell
And style on nerds
holy my friend uses guardian spirit 0-3 times per key
yeah I'm gonna tell him to use that way more
π
1min cd 40% more heals
Is colossus looking like the winner this time around? Would love to see it
Absolutely does yes
Not from a pure defensive pov
But overall winner
Does way more aoe dmg
And we get to play IO now
And 5% larger
I'm looking forward to it
just hope it's not as cancerous as the streamers are saying
Who in the what now
Don't pull the trigger on that
Everyone is always overblowing minute stuff like that
Stoneform is just useful af though
Go and see for yourself
better than orc racial
Before you spend money
Youβll take my HMTauren from my cold, dead hands
nah separate character
Stinky horde
*musky horde
Dorki, Quazii and Yoda (lol) all said pwar is C tier and bad in these dungeons
Good
Their takes are probably outdated
And only from thane PoV
So it's perfect advertising
Immovable Object does
oh fair
Also 20% larger IP
- 5% less dmg taken
Perma
That goes a long way
(mostly the IO tho vs the unblockable stuff)
And like they also self admittedly said (atleast yoda did) hes not that good at pwar
Which, props to him, is not something many are willing to admit
Shouldn't matter to me ig since I only want to do 12s/13s
but my healer buddy isn't tooooo good so if I'm griefing him by being fucked by bleeds it's just less fun for everyone
And have fun
Bro
You don't give a fuck about your healer
Trust
Your party does, but you don't
He's my friend and I want to play with him so I try to make shit as easy as possible for everyone I'm playing with
If you just yell at him at the right times
To heal you
Through X thing
That's plenty
Rest is w/e
god I can't believe he's not been using guardian spirit tho 
and yeah
I mean we have good synergy really
I never really feel like he's struggling to heal ME
If I can do +10 GB on a stinky alt warri with a disc priest who only did 350k hps when I did 1mil on my 610 prot
Surely
just group aoe fucks him in 11s/12s this season that we tried a few keys and then gave up lmao
Mh
Then try figuring out how to help you him to get better
Check logs of good holy priests
I need to play holy myself so I know wtf I'm looking at
isn't that exactly why hpriest is considered the weaker healer this season? It can't really deal with group wide damage right?
(never played priest before)
I wonder how many holy priests there are doing +12s this season
not a lot lmao
there's like 400 holy priests above 2900 rio
and like 7.5k disc priests 
Yeah they need to buff that spec
Fro mwhat ive heard, the rework/changes going into 11.1 make it have a better alternate playstyle for aoe damage, but its still worse than hpriest normal big spot/indivdual reactive heals
My friend also made the great mistake
he told me he usually pops his defensives AFTER taking damage to prevent himself from dying

oh my god
He pops Apotheosis twice in each dungeon 
the classic "oh shit button"
Introduce him to hekili..it honestly helped me a lot as a prot war with the new expansion when I haven't played since cataclysm
He's a healer
Thatβs how I helped my friend who wanted to try heal
I told him play rdrood bc idk anything about healers but I can do 10s on that spec
And I just tell him the combos I do for AoE pulses
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 thatβs 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
Hey si there a TLDR with Warrior next session with how slow it is how dose it fell atm and what not? π
Felt about the same when Iβve played
Colossus better, thane worse.
So we're colossus now
Aw yiss big dragon.
U are whatever u want to play
Understandable
Canβt go wrong either way
Colossus has a higher ceiling, but more punishing if you get it wrong
thats just playing incorrectly and probably initing damage doing that
wow he got to chained lucky jugg stacks
doesnt mean he couldnt have done more
literally could have had SS do 30% more damage for 30% of the fight
If you want to be in top logs, you must be prepared to some degen playstyle that you may not like
im not saying thats not how u get top logs
im saying they can still do more
like instead of spending on IP u spend on SB
ive seen tier lists of tanks for M+ etc, but usually that leans heavily into utility and survivability.....which tank has the highest flat out damage?

Not warrior, is that the answer you need?
None of them tested colossus (or at least with proper builds), so... π
Was just curious which it was lol
dont really know till patch
for low keys and such, just to blast
Tbf,Colossuses top-end key viability is still TBD.
Ofc, its too early to say but no matter what it does more than thane which everyone is testing on as it is a safer option
Even if I could proof that DK is best or whatever. Actually one class change could change everything and patch isnβt 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. Donβt bother about tier lists. Even if itβs a good one. 99% of the contents can easy be played with b tier specs. Itβs more worth to improve the own playstyle than minmaxing classchoice
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.
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
The good thing, in my opinion, is that now changing to Colossus with a new season is changing the playstyle. MT was getting boring.. happy to feel some changes
Jeah,I am a big MT enjoyer,but also looking forward to a season of Colossus.
myfic

the reason why IP uptime is low on kyveza is because the dot chews through it like butter
and the reason for "low SB uptime" is because of Massacre
but all these "metrics" will get fucked with s2 patch anyway
cuz everyone will get a massive dmg buff
How good is the 20% aura buff?
oh sweet summer child
I did some quick napkin math and i think its 20%
so pretty good
Instigate is getting a massive rage gen buff
we're gaining 1 extra talent point in the class tree 3rd gate
BFI is getting a dmg buff
Shield Slam is getting a +20% buff
we're getting a 3% aura buff + another multiplicative 20% aura buff after that
Demolish is getting a 30% buff
Colossus is getting +3 Rage Gen on Shield Slam
Execute is getting a 10% buff
Barbaric Training will no longer add +10 Rage to Revenge
so its NOT JUST A 20% AURA BUFF
Actually a 20% aura buff is a bit less than 20%

goddamnit, i always sucked at math.....
ah you one of those "ackshually you do 0.3% of your dmg with cantrip effects therefor its only a 19.8% buff"
ACKSHUALLY π€
Sure we can ignore the Melee part and say it's a low number to seem smarter let's go with that
arms will go from 1.6mil sim to 2mil+
same with fury
just from patch hitting
raid will be a turbo joke for a week
Weβre gonna legit have to tell OT when weβre about to use demolish, if it triple crits you may as well have just hit tauntβ¦
Honestly never thought I would see the day where we would pick BT
took long enough for them to fix it
Yeah, there was so little gain for the extra rage use
Although would still probably suck if colossus didnβt exist
nah cuz revenge plays a slightly bigger role for thane next patch
Fair
What is our strategist proc rate like in comparison to now?
Did they overall nerf but buff to devastator cancel eachother out? Or about the same?
Interesting
battering ram back?

Trying to improve and I see a lot of mentions of enemy swings lining up and that being horrible and all. But how do you keep track of that? Do you look at the animations or is there some nice way to keep track of it?
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
BDK tho, you throw down that DND and make sure not to get 1 tapped
will it replace ravager? 
yes

you expect it
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
Oh. Sounds easy enough. Guess that is not where I should dig in to improve then π
Thanks for the info
yeah its not all that common in regular play
to get globalled from synced melees
it is common for VDH and BDK tho
cuz they have notoriously bad raw physical mitigation if not ready for it
at 2. boss hero, the beam (not cone) aims at the tank that is not in the add phase right? and that tank outside the phase..should posi himself that the beam front+behind the boss not aim for the glowling stuff(were new adds will spawn) right?
boss shoots beams to his sides, so he must be turned properly to not kill group thats dealing with adds and give them enough time to do this, on hc I think you can just be on the opoosite side of where the group is, so beam shoots at 90 degrees of them
ok thank you π
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)
Not sure why he make a new tier list yesterday it's basically identical to the one he made 3 days ago
They should just undo all the garbage they did to pwar and revert it back to 11.0 build
Theres just a lot of bleeds and unblockable damage coming in the next season....which is not a good thing for prot warriors.
nah
I'm looking forward to colossus being better than thane
Crimes against Pres Evokers.
DH on top again? This is like rinse and repeat
So Prot Pala is different for you?
Good point
Is there a tier list we trust of the tanks lol
Well with the m+ changes they are all pretty viable up until the higher keys
up there its always meta garbage typically
BT? I donβt recognize that one
Oh is that barbaric training
lol
you are supposed to listen to the video
the tierlist itself is clickbait
to have a tierlist in thumbnail
lol he basically said nothing in the video
so it's just farming views that's it
I dont know how to do it myself. Can someone tell me the total dmg output for a dungeon of your choice for prot warrior col, thane and fury and arms for the next season?
i want to know vaguely the difference in dmg output
idk i usually double the overall of the previous patch to guess how much people will be around
The one you make yourself
i think thats the Idea
S tier tank played by C tier player is a C tier tank
but a C tier tank played by a C tier player is a F tier tank
Play what you want, if u want to play for title⦠play what u want and reroll midseason to meta
so they NEED to play the S tier tank
I have a Blood DK, Bear Druid & Prot Warrior ~ I normally push to 3Kish ~ I dont pick based on the tier, more so i like to read why they are at that tier and then make my choice.
Why is X class S+ tier, what makes them S+ tier type thing..
OOOOOOR, play what you want, find 4 friends and make them conform to a comp around you
anyone who says "utility" is coping

utilties dont change between patches
HAVOC DEMON HUNTER is good in this one tho
Warrior cant be lower than C
Not as long shieldblock exists and mobs auto attack

these streamers sleeping on Prot War
still on VDH hype tran
but Prot War I think will surprise people
VDH does a looooooooooooooot of M+ damage and utilty tho
Ive been on VDH hype train since the +2 seconds on demon spikes
Seriously, like they never even tried col at all. And only played pwar like 2 times on MT like week 1/2 of ptr
^ Col Prot War is slapping
it slaps right now
@limpid ruin you be doing big damage now
Slapping, sure - slapping hard enough to beat someone doing sameish dam and bringing AoE grips and silences?
Probably not
I mean, you can play aoe silence on prot war
idk, I just skim patch notes
still gotta be stopped tho
This is the way, look at Bobas, Sense, etc
besides, silence sigil aint S3/S4 DF silence sigil
Same sigil, not the same CD
First set of sigils probably more than enough value, compared to warriors knockup
We shall see, doubt warrior will take the crown. And if we do, we will get nerfed. Still, we will be a lot more popular in PuGs if we pump big dam
naw, I dont think War is gonna be the meta choice









is life
