i mena wow isnt good for the first like 100 hours

strong forum
#

There's 200-300hrs of content

#

You played like what

#

The solo village quests?

#

Which are quite literally just made to show you the ropes

#

You then got the hub quests

#

Low rank, high rank and master rank

#

Takes about 60hrs to get to master rank

If you aren't speed running it

This ain't dark souls where bosses die in 2min and you're only supposed to defeat them once

The rampages were an acquired taste

In low rank they sucked

High rank were alright

And stopped existing in MR cuz lotta people didn't like em

I take it there's little point in running m+ this week for next week's vault?

Cool, so not worth it in my case then, thank you

How strong are arms and fury baseline once patch goes live?

#

Eg if they do 1.5m st dps today, how much it shoots up to tomorrow?

2m?

#

Icyveins has prot warrior in s tier for 11.1 did something change recently? I thought warrior wasnt looking so good

jagged pier
#

literally nothing has changed

#

ppl that make tier lists suddenly noticed we had 2 hero trees

#

and one of them does damage

dark barn
#

The 30% demolish buff was the game changer

hardy snow
#

I wouldn't trust a guide from someone, who doesnt know the spec hmmNod

jagged pier
#

wasnt intended for us anyway

#

so dont get excited

#

bliz also forgot we have a second hero tree

#

as all the original changes were based on thane to begin with

dark barn
#

Blizz will nerf pwar damage... they always ruin the fun

hardy snow
#

It will be such a mess if Blizz decides to do something about freshly discovered 2nd hero tree during the season

jagged pier
#

look its easy just make demolish buff only effect arms

#

done

#

but that will take time, because code is spaget

#

and they need to make a new demolish spell for prot

dark barn
#

Its probably what they will fix (was a unintentional buff bla bla)

hardy snow

Looks like pwar didn't get buffs to save it from bottom tier? deadge

I would 100% suggest to read wowhead guides or icy-veins, how I use them is I get the basic info for the spec I’m learning (first I take talents and I READ the author comments, I READ the rotation) and I start practice in keys and I’ll go back on the guide if I need more

jagged pier
#

i just press buttons

sharp gale
#

I wouldn’t be able to guess the rotation, I don’t read talents

sharp gale
#

God cat

#

And I don’t read talents : i don’t read them at all before I did few keys (i got the info if I kinda like the spec im trying)

raw parcel
#

Okay, patch is settled, haven't been keeping up super close to the many changes... how we holding up, as prot warriors? WoWhead's A Tier ranking accurate?

hot orbit
#

more than not understanding the class, I'm afraid I don't understand the mechanics and tactics for dungeons fast enough. In S1 I saw many tanks get flamed (even in M2) because they did something wrong.

#

okayge Awesome, thank you! It's my favorite spec, glad to hear it.

#

For the first couple weeks it might help (really as tank it’s the first couple days, you get ahead in Rio to play with the people ahead of Rio)

raw parcel
# hot orbit more than not understanding the class, I'm afraid I don't understand the mechani...

Learning dungeons takes time, and even if you know a dungeon mistakes will happen. (I got patty caked more than I should have even when I had that place on farm).

If you're with pugs, just look at them as semi-defective robots there to help you get to the end of the dungeon, and sometimes these semi-defective robots spout profanity. You're a tank, if the group breaks up, there's always more semi-defective robots to replace them with.

sharp gale
#

And for making up routes day 1, it is just from experience (you mostly need a lot more healer mech knowledge)

raw parcel
#

Difficulty wise, how does this coming season compare to season 1? Season 1 was a bit rough, not gonna lie. :x

sharp gale
#

I didn’t look, I don’t usually compare difficulty patch to patch since the past is dead forever

raw parcel
#

o.o Well damn, that's dark.

#

The golden age of Season 3 Dragonflight still lives. In my heart.

sharp gale
#

But that golden age is a combination of dungeon pool, tuning of classes, tier sets etc, and your IRL situation at the time

#

So a unique combination

raw parcel
#

BRH is my all time favorite dungeon, I think. Though almost all Legion dungeons were bangers.

sharp gale
#

I don’t remember season 3 I didn’t play DF a lot (just the curve in pug weeks)

#

Idk what were the dungeons

raw parcel
#

Black Rook Hold, Atal'Dazar, stupid water bullshit, Dawn of-

#

Yep, those!

sharp gale
#

Yeah it was kinda cool dungeon pool (I’m not huge fan of atal bc I’m biased with bfa, I hated the mob tp bug use)

#

The snaps

raw parcel
#

My favorites for the season were Waycrest Manor and Black Rook Hold, also liked Galakrond's Fall.

sharp gale
#

Thrones of tides is bad but you can’t have a pool with only good ones

raw parcel
#

I mean, you could, if Blizzard wasn't allergic to fun. clueless

sharp gale
#

Nop there will always be a bad one, because it is relative to others

#

Always be a last

raw parcel
#

I'd love to see a "greatest hits" season someday for the last season of an expansion, where it's purely beloved dungeons.

#

There'll always be a worst one, but some seasons are still better groups than others. It'd be pretty rad if somehow Freehold was the "worst" dungeon of a season. That'd have to be a pretty awesome season.

sharp gale
#

Yes but a season is a unique combination, so you could explain the good season just bc of the tuning fitting YOUR personal experience in THESE dungeons

#

You could have a pool with only best dungeons and just with tuning of everything else be bad

raw parcel
#

That's part of it, but I do think some dungeons are just fun. Freehold is just a fun dungeon, I loved catching the pig, I didn't love it because it was easy. Shadowmoon Burial Ground was basically free, but I don't really like the design of the place, so it isn't just about tuning.

sharp gale
#

SBG is an awful dungeon

#

Freehold is my favorite dungeon, with underrot

hardy snow
#

I liked SBG for vault hmmNod

tribal wharf
#

i still remember people tried to calle SBG SMBG and then i saw SMB super mario bros and i got a little triggered

small steeple
# sharp gale The snaps

I loved the snaps so much. It added so much to tank knowledge and even skill expression to some degree

tribal wharf
#

that and its 3 bosses, and the only thing that remotely hurts us in there is shadow claw or something, entire rest of the dungeon is hold W skill issue fest

#

maybe its 4, but its extremely simple and short

#

is what i mean, hardly any affix there was scary

#

the one double pull of the death casters before the void boy boss

#

only hard thing in there,

#

the snake boss is impossible to fail at, first boss is borderline impossible to fail at

#

2 and 4 do from what i remember very easy attack patterns to avoid

sharp gale
#

if you compare to the vault fill easier dungeons from other seasons

tribal wharf
#

what i think they should do is add in before a key if your are on mythic and the dungeon is in rotation and someone in party has an appropriate key for it there is a vendor that pops up at the very start and its like, oh, i can buy health and mana and stealth potions

#

but they are like, the weaker versions maybe

#

cuz i recall there was one affix set you had to stealth past the first blueberry basically very start

tribal wharf
#

you cant mount inside reeeeeee

#

but what im saying really is if blizzard is designing these dungeons that some weeks you might want to invis

#

it should be easily remindable, noticable, this type of thing

sharp gale
#

there is no more "some weeks"

tribal wharf
#

honestly the bad bad affixes are total nothings if you have a party of 5 voice chatters

sharp gale
#

but i get for the mana food it is true that it's painful

tribal wharf
#

oh necrotic, paladins gunna bop you, plz remove it mr yogi tank

#

okay make sure to taunt and clap for aggro again

#

or like, ah shit i think the rogue is gunna die, never mind, i freedomed him, from the paladin

#

im not sure if mages mass invisibility came DF or TWW, but it seemed like they were going to use that change to push more stealth an skip routes in keys

Checked out the new bis list and saw we were using the helm over chest. Both have mastery but the chest has haste over crit. Wouldn't we want the chest then?

Back in the day, you used BoP to reset the affix necrotic, a stacking DoT that reduced healing taken and did dam.
BoP removed it, and you had cancelaura on all buttons to remove BoP to regain the threat lost

also, if anyone knows, is Defender's Aegis the go to now, instead if Imp Wall?

even with 4pc you can still stick with ravager

its 2min base CD with 2 charges

cerulean burrow

yeah thats nutty

#

was wondering between the 2

which makes imp wall, which no longer grants extra rage gen, obsolete

thane just felt more durable, but im not skilled enough to put money on declarations like that.

if you guys are talking about like say a raid, in retail, or even in old wow, i dont know it, or like, the new dungeon that is the candle and the cart ride and the darkness, i dont know that either, pvp, not really

but there is parts of the game wow i do know about

#

SBG is one of those, i ran it, i want to say realistically like 150 times that season

if i did raiding, i would talk all the time about raiding, but if you view my comment history

i wouldnt say it comps for the loss from the execute dmg

it was just nice to build for execute phase on col prot war and really pump with the extra demo cd while getting juiced executes in between. Thats kinda dead now with this change

cerulean tusk
#

Lets be honest, they just dont like execute as a button - There are two sides, the balance team and the warrior dev.
The warrior dev keeps doing things to make execute be a feel good button. Then the balance team, run by MrWarlock, looks at this and says "that looks like fun... I mean, unbalanced!" and starts throwing 'balance sticks' into the wheels of the execute engine.

just small question the "priority" for this in text has demo shout -> demolish -> THEN thunderous roar but the chart if im reading it right wants us to demo shout -> thunderous roar -> shield charge THEN demolish? just trying to gauge what the ideal opener would be theoretically if every ability was up

at the flowchart the demolish is supposed to be before

its as in the list above

dots arent capped

cuz how the fuck do you cap a dot

small steeple

the game would have to scan how many active dots are up from you specifically

each time

small steeple

Sounds like a huge packet issue

lusty grotto

so Troar bases its cap with the initial hit yeah?

#

makes sense

strong forum

the dot isnt capped iirc?

only the initial hit

lusty grotto

yea

thats what i mean

if the initial hit doesnt land = no dot?

correct

so it circuvents the whole d&d/consecration/sigil thing

What are the pros of Vulpera? Because like, Dwarf and nelf are super good, and I think velf might be the highest dps race along with maghar now?

Pro: You are a furry or like cute little fox things

Con: Not nelf

My Vulpera has been doing alright as a Colossi Prot for most the season.
Pros: Furry (if that matters), Nose for trouble is absolutely insane, and the tent is awesome.
Con: Smol.

but dps wise im not sure

It's only 4 seconds, can either throw it at yourself or an ally for 20% speed buff for brief time - or to briefly slow someone down.
It was in the same patch worgies got the Darkflight stackable with other speed buffs.

lol, it’s more like i’m trying to find advantages. i love them both for many different reasons. i especially like covering for my group’s interrupts with AS/DT, and for warrior i like the flow of the gameplay. much faster, it feels like. it’s not as shallow as “me want big dam”, that’s just like, a luxury

If you like the playstyle of paladin, warrior is far from it

just this patch?

Also, Defender's Aegis? wtf is going on now

they took the rage gen off've imp wall

and the 4p for pallys wtf

IO is good cause the extra avatar can be used with demolish

That's my arguement for it working

i.e. mini avatar

so shield wall demolish in that order?

lusty grotto

yea

pretty sure it doesnt work with the new tier procs but i could be wrong

But did they fix Martial Expert for colossus?

lusty grotto

no idea on that one

novel temple

since it seemingly wasn't working on giving us stronger crit blocks

it did have an update on the patch but im not 100% positive if it addressed it

Looking through the WoWhead guide (and not being anywhere smart enough to run the numbers), it looks like cutting Thunder Clap and Rend out of the Colossus build might not be too much of a DPS loss, could the Rend point be better spent elsewhere to close the gap even more (Assuming the point from TC goes in to Pain and Gain for pathing)? I'm EU so I've not had a chance to play Colossus yet but I'm always on the lookout for buttons I can cut to help my smooth brain cope :p

lusty grotto
#

well the problem is that TC is a rage generator

#

so you might as well get some damage out of it
