love games that get good after 20hours 
i mena wow isnt good for the first like 100 hours
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
guess i got filtered out
Ye
i quit after the tower defense thing
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?
Lol
how would we know this is #protection channel
Icyveins has prot warrior in s tier for 11.1 did something change recently? I thought warrior wasnt looking so good
literally nothing has changed
ppl that make tier lists suddenly noticed we had 2 hero trees
and one of them does damage
The 30% demolish buff was the game changer
I wouldn't trust a guide from someone, who doesnt know the spec 
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
Blizz will nerf pwar damage... they always ruin the fun
It will be such a mess if Blizz decides to do something about freshly discovered 2nd hero tree during the season
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
Its probably what they will fix (was a unintentional buff bla bla)
that's why Im afraid of their "solution", as I guess they will come with idea of something that can be done immediately by some -X% nerf
do you have anyone to recommend?
Looks like pwar didn't get buffs to save it from bottom tier? 
I would recommend guides on wowhead or icy-veins.
Ok man. Ty. I just want to main pwar, coming from years of demo warlock 😆 so any advice and guide are welcome. I ve played pwar on the end of S1 but only in low low keys.
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
I wouldn’t be able to guess the rotation, I don’t read talents
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)
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?
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.
thats just the issue of playing with other people, its best to play with guildies or something 
We are definitely strong and holding up.
Awesome, thank you! It's my favorite spec, glad to hear it.
OC. I was saying in cases where there are no guild members online
It comes with experience maybe, when I’m in a pug season (a season where I start as pug), basically I do keys until it fails and when it fails the next time I stop the group before the moment and explain what to do
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)
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.
And for making up routes day 1, it is just from experience (you mostly need a lot more healer mech knowledge)
Difficulty wise, how does this coming season compare to season 1? Season 1 was a bit rough, not gonna lie. :x
I didn’t look, I don’t usually compare difficulty patch to patch since the past is dead forever
o.o Well damn, that's dark.
The golden age of Season 3 Dragonflight still lives. In my heart.
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
BRH is my all time favorite dungeon, I think. Though almost all Legion dungeons were bangers.
I don’t remember season 3 I didn’t play DF a lot (just the curve in pug weeks)
Idk what were the dungeons
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
My favorites for the season were Waycrest Manor and Black Rook Hold, also liked Galakrond's Fall.
Thrones of tides is bad but you can’t have a pool with only good ones
I mean, you could, if Blizzard wasn't allergic to fun. 
Nop there will always be a bad one, because it is relative to others
Always be a last
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.
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
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.
I liked SBG for vault 
i still remember people tried to calle SBG SMBG and then i saw SMB super mario bros and i got a little triggered
I loved the snaps so much. It added so much to tank knowledge and even skill expression to some degree
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
me too, but even if it was easy, i know it is so bad as a dungeon
if you compare to the vault fill easier dungeons from other seasons
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
i got the feature
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
there is no more "some weeks"
honestly the bad bad affixes are total nothings if you have a party of 5 voice chatters
but i get for the mana food it is true that it's painful
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
What spec changes should i expect going from yesterday to tonight?
probably a lot less durability but a lot more damage. less rage but more irl rage.
Colossus about to get really juicy
Big dam
Heard
Demo gonna hit giga, hopefully they leave it be and nerf revenge if tuning must be done
Ive always preferred thunderlord.
Will it be super bad in s2?
no
Awesome
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?
because we want crit with tier sset and we can have a better stated chest from m+ i would presume
heya in the current guide on wow head there is no ravanger instead both side nodes on shieldcharge why is that?
tier set
huh?
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
I know
Then why huh
that just doesn't exist anymore, so I wasn't sure what they were talking about
tier interaction with shield charge is too good.
from the 'some weeks' thing and mentioning necrotic bop it just seemed like they hadn't logged into in the game in an expansion or so
Yogi do be like that. Just be glad he ain't talking about DooM mid sentence
welcome to yogi
pretty sure i havent heard 1 sane sentence from the deathray guy
lmao okay, thank you for the clarification
So we want the off tier piece in s2 to be the chest?
Depends on what you get, Bad. But ye, chest be on the off on the BiS theoretical list
while learning the new dungeons, what would me the most disposable talent to remove for BSV?
ravager
yeah i put that somewhere else
oh this is not my tree lol
hold on. everything changed this morning lolol
yeah, i undid my tree to go through and learn the new talent stuff. i have no memory of this place
if you click through these builds
you can find an array of talent builds suggested by me
if you are scared of the new dungeons and will make mistakes, you can play this build
i hate spear and love bitter immunity. your MT M+ is roughly the build ill be using
is colossus notably better in m+ now or just competitive?
play bm hunter
also, does this discord want typo reports ?
The guide doesn’t include a tier list
i found a few. very smol errors.
SMH
I thought I found something but I realized I was dumb
i have no shame in admitting mistakes so send it all
why take the MT shield if no intervene
i removed intervene because this because i assume the person will not actively or properly use intervene if they remove a point in the 3rd gate to pick up bitter immunity
veteran vitality "youz"
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/abilities-talents-pve-tank
youz kind no like?
yes but storm shield over storm bolts if no intervene?
me luv youz. luv zug. 'ate mages.
due to 10sec increased CD of stormbolt
thank you for your infinite wisdom
truly though. i have perma warr brain. and correct. i do not use intervene properly.

I try to intervene when I lose aggro on a mob
i am also not noble.
when i play thane i actively intervene on CD whenever magic dmg goes onto party member, it doesnt do much but yeh
very smol lack of space after intimidating shout.
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/abilities-talents-pve-tank
acquired skill from past expansions
this is what keeps me from being a good player and good warrior.
i do not acquire skills from the past.
fixed both typos
So what's the rotation now we're not spamming ip
rotation is the same
Still the same shit you just don’t blindly spam ip
you just have to do step 13 a bunch more
actually, should i be sending these in general chat? i feel like im being aggressive but i promise im not lol.
if youre ~640ilvl
it does 1.2mil as thane
and 1.5mil as colossus
previously did 900k as thane
interesting
and 1.1mil as colossus
why so much more on col?
colossus gets 20% more
Ahhh
Is this build only for m+?
I forgot to ask
That's what I'll mainly be doing with my tank
i just want to let you know, the only reason im getting deep into the details of your guide, is that its been like a bible and key saver for me.
it does more dam
thane is minimally tankier
but colossus does significantly more damage
ty
is specifically for Ironkid m+

otherwise you can also just find my suggested builds with a few notes here
oh yeah I read the shit outta your guide lol
I have to read it like every time I forget my rotation
which is a lot cause I have short term memory loss 💀
hits the random button
time to build muscle memory
and just 
ive got muscle memory of specs i didnt play in like 6 years
when i login i just press a button and then realise what ability should be there

when I play my vulpera tank I always have what does the fox say playing in the background
on a loop

speaking of custom tailored builds, thank you Nome for building my build lol.
so until i get 4set i can just take the point out of battering ram and put it into ravager and not change anything else and we should be chilling?
ye
bet
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
imp wall got nerfed
baseline SW cd got reduced to 3min
so with DA
its 2min base CD with 2 charges
which makes imp wall, which no longer grants extra rage gen, obsolete
imp wall used to increase rage gen of SS by 25%
now its just the CDR, killing the talent
ah right, no more extra rage. god, i really, and i mean really loved, the high octane playstayle of former prot warr.
thane is still quite fast
mouse wheel keybind go brrrrr
oh no sht?
thats really good news.
right when i was about to give colossus a try for the first time, thunder dwarf brings me right back.
yeah i wanna see a multimillion hit on a dungeon boss at least once. but im addicted to playing dance dance revolution on my mmo mouse.
Is there a DPS penalty for Thane?
yeah been trying colossus out yesterday in a 10 siege just dicking around and the dk dps i was with i was competing in dmg with at points lmao
its kinda fun
fwiw, yes as colossus with IO + DA + tierset we have 30% uptime on SW
thane just felt more durable, but im not skilled enough to put money on declarations like that.
thane is more durable, especially in magic heavy dungeons
that is a fact
but colossus has closed the gap significantly more in s2
you guys heard it from the man first.
god, i hate magic everywhere. i want my armor to put in its gold's worth.
So about 60g worth a piece?
yeah. but against magic its near 0
Well, 60g wont do much in this echonomy
wont even pay for one repair round
I would argue, your armor do in fact put in its gold's worth
more so, even
Torn atm, geared a DH veng up before Xmas because I wanted a more engaging DPS spec.
Enjoying DHV but Pwarr is a lot more forgiving when I get intermittent lag
Oh, if you struggle a bit with lag, warrior is the go
i tried out and leveled a VDH and geared up, ran through all the dungeons. so fun, visually pretty. then went back to pwarr
I do really enjoy my Pwarr but find the DPS specs a bit meh
i accidentally fell in love with Fury, when trying out Havoc.
there's nothing like bonk
even though the secondaries dont quite line up for us in offspec fury, it just felt, right.
@strong forum Colossus or thane for less keybinds? Was playing thane in s1 but havent touched colossus at all ❤️
eh, it shares alot of mechanics i know
thane has 1 less keybind than colossus!
required line of sight
Lol
Colossus it is, thank you 🙂
Iove how all three of those messages were edited for clarification
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
very few of it is about raids
or its, i died in raid wtf did i do wrong
i tried to get the trinket for the mount about 100 times in a week on paladin LFD
and then i quit
It's cinderbrew I hate
cinderbrew is,.............. castlevania...... doom..... ghosts and goblins, contra, dark souls
its hard as hell, but i would want to sit through it and go through that painful experience
So I played MT all last season and didnt touch Colossus once. Can I just slam MT again this season or is Col. that good now?
my biggest fear of cinder brew is
we get there and its some rediculous key lvl like a 13 14 i dunno spitballing, and then its the very first pull and they go "................. why didnt you pull the entire (bar) room, thats what they did in TGP/MDI"
Those hired muscle are kind of the limiting factor in pull size. Blizz got rid if a lot of lethal kicks, but they replaced it with shit tons of leutenant mobs that are seriously legal when stacked. Very annoying. Also that's a lot of bleeds
Thane will do fine, if you experience big damage fomo you might want to try colossus though
m0s opening today ?
wtf
well its not the new season
:thistbh:
Most of my time will be spent in keys so I was just wondering if there was a huge difference between the two. Mainly just tankiness vs dmg.
Im just staying in Thane this season for everything
good for you
Thats what I did last season but colossus dmg looks kinda nutty
I just never picked colossus up enough to figure it out. I would use it on reclear nights and I still didnt quite understand how the rotation worked.
the dmg was insane and it also was funky on mythic brood when I would spike in dps and end up with dps mechanics the tank was never supposed to have.
the encounter
tanks should never get the rings to break eggs
How does prot feel 11.1 ? It seems like Jan/Feb has been ups and downs 🙂
very good
U got rings to break eggs because dps were dead
Not because u went colossus
I progged ovi as colssus didnt get egg break once expect for when dps were dead
I spent all of season one as thane - how much harder is colossus?
Not harder at all just different
If I mess it up can I still blame the healer
if you want them to not group with you, yes
blame healer typically a pretty bad idea
your healer will abandon you
and I like to give him shit
you will miss ce/aotc/ksmksh
I'm going for ksm this season on my prot warr
is easy to pug this stuff if you are willing to
I'm going with a guild group
if you can be bothered to at least i cant some days lol
sorry no, dps wasnt dead
Were you dpsing
everyone DPs's I was in prot spec as I main prot
It is being asked in every chat, on a 15-30min CD
you can get some dps mechanics if you have 3 tanks in group
yeah just me and a blood dk. It happened once, and I swapped back to thane and called it a day
but it has nothing to do with chosen hero talents
Well it happened when I was in colossus and I went nuts on adds and topped the charts
Ended up with a ring wasnt on the egg and so we called a wipe.
this was in phase 1 with all dps up
Are they any mechanics to cheese with demolish blocking movement effects that it should be saved for?
https://www.wowhead.com/news/patch-11-1-undermine-d-official-patch-notes-373971
..so we knew about these right??? its nothing new for us??
None u have leap and charge to cancel knockbacks etc
U dont save demolish ever
okie
another question, i dont see clapping to apply rend as a prio in the opener with colussus. is that accurate or still apply rend somewhat fast
Knockback = dps increase
the best is when they do the foot ball field goal kick pattern
up and back
and then you just charge,
this is the only weird change. Since they want us to hit shield slam less and now execute with not giving Col Might we only really want to shield slam on boss fights
yeah like
this change makes no sense
execute is the only hard hitting rotational ability
for both arms and prot

They didn’t like that people weren’t pressing MS on CD
"We think using hard hiting rotational abilities is core of colossus, so we make change that you will want to use hard hitting ability less"

And applied it to prot
but we did tho
nobody played it in raid anyway
but ye
Didn’t colo also wait until 2 stacks of tier set?
its not like we could spam execute any way, you only got 4 ish uses befor you had to go back to rage genning
Pls
it makes 0 sense
They think we execute spammed because it applied demolish stacks??? Lmao
I’m pretty sure colo waited until 2 stacks of tier buff
that was early sims
Before MS in execute
my only working theory is that slayer is about executes, and they only want dps aka slayers to be big execute , so it doesnt fit for col or mt
which they are doing now
MS is getting a 66% dmg buff
You don’t talk like that!
its just a weird sucky nerf to colossus, thats 8-12 sec off the CD of demo were not getting in exectue phase now
Make execute absolutely nuke and dump rage and feed am
I mean your demolish is also hitting way harder now
So
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
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.
Some of us are still recovering from losing heroic strike.
anyone have a link to an updated s2 spell reflect wa package?
what would be the purpose of this package?
oh just like it displays a spell reflect icon when a reflectable cast is going off
the jundies plater profile does a pretty good job of identifying reflectable spells if you use plater
it had a s2 update recently
thanks i do use it ill check it tonight
if i recall reflectable spells show up as pink. hardest part about reflects is getting your group not to kick it 🙂
thats perfect
well as long as it doesnt go off i suppose its a win
jundies is fkn op
how is the colossus prot build looking? never got on PTR myself but saw it get some last minute attention from some of the streaming community
can anyone tell me what the news is regarding that we are bugged?
read somewhere that they were gonna buff arms, and ended up buffing prot aswell, and that we might get nerfed again?
execute specced col prot is kinda dead now due to Execute no longer granting Col might. Otherwise it was buffed overall dmg wise. Will probs have the highest single target dmg and highest dmg for 3 or less mobs. Over mountain Thane, which still arguably makes you tankyer and better dps at 5+ mobs.
Can someone post only the mod for copying in my profile ? or tell where can i find it
tbh with the m+ scaling changes i doubt we will see Mountain on top at any level since nothing will live long enough for Mountain to get rolling
I'm having trouble reading this, but
Did you just say that Thane has more AOE damage than Colo?
That is so inaccurate if so that you just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Colo works
mountain only when you get 5+ mobs and they live long enough for the bleed/t clap sustain to catch up to the bursting from Col opener, which tbh isnt that often this last season.
and will be even less often this season
not really. execute build raid col still does the most single target. AND what you said later is also blatantly wrong as far as I know. Col pwar will do more damage at any target count @strong forum is this correct?
the opener isnt what makes colossus especially truck and sustain
it is

it will still probs be the highest single target it just feels really bad now since it doesnt feed into the demolish cd
go brr
demo will still hit hard without the execute cdr
mountain thane is not doing more damage than colo at any target count or fight length
yeah and you still shield slam bunches. it isnt like you have no cdr
Still tons of cdr on demolish. And this would only effect execute range. And then it was about 8-12 seconds of cdr in execute that we are no longer getting
Does tierset give demolish cdr? I thought it just was shield charge cdr
But it gives more crits right?
75% ss crit chance ye
For more more oh you beat me to it lol
Hey Guys, coming back from a 2 month long break. Hearing colossus is the way to go for M+ for season two. Anyone have a build i can take a look at?
Thanks
So in S1 with MT i barley hit revenge. I assume with the build @errant shell linked i am going to want to revenge much more often since we taking a lot of those talents
yes
wowhead guide has all the info ya need
Nome spoils us
Coming from classic, what happened to sunder armor? lol
did they take away colossus might from execute?
yer
It was added to devastate at one point. And later they made it so you automatically devastate on auto attacks. I have no idea what happened to the actual sunder
is there any special tech to keep shield block up 100% with into the fray? im trying my best on the target dummies, but after some time it just falls off for at least 1 or 2 seconds
have enough haste
The fuck do you mean bleed sustain
they both have the same amount of bleeds, and Colo has more support for bleeds
Colo is also the sustain damage spec; Thane bursts with Thunder Bladt. Revenge hits as hard as blast for when Colo, pretty much, too. Like, what?
Instigate and Battering Ram only after tier set or seem to be straight up better now with tuning?
4pc
@strong forum I saw you’ve still got MT as ST raid build.
Is it out performing colossus in pure ST?
real
either or
@urban bane is not me, lol. Understandable mistake though
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
demolish > roar > sc
ah okay its the text variant then thank you!
lmao
With all the peeps crying about col damage. Should we be expecting a pp slap?
If that happens we still running col you think?
most tank sims arent fully updated yet, so other tanks are looking lower than they actually are
About 4-5% aoe damage nerf, 1-2% for st I'd expect
severly doubt we will get a relevant slap for colossus to not be better dmg than thane
From my testing motherboard sucked more for me
@strong forum this isn't true right?
That's good once I got the hang of col felt pretty fun
Last I heard it wasn't actually that much
uncap soul cleave but what about us? sigil still uncapped no?
meanwhile in warrior land = 
soul cleave is hard capped at 5. We got soft caps
"whats uncapped damage"
i know that
im saying
consecration and sigil of flame are uncapped
immo aura, felscarred and sigils are uncapped
^
all our buttons are soft capped to 5
we have NOTHING uncapped
not felsacarred demonsurges anymore. Soft capped at 8 now
ah
well i guess spear is uncapped maybe?
spear is softcapped to 5
But until like 14 targets, its still going to do more damage it got such a large damage buff
well i stand by what i said lmao
All these 5 caps are from SL right?
nah roar and spear was uncapped
a lot of them, some put after
our 5softcaps on tc and revenge was always 5
I just remember SL s1 they wanted to make pulls small to put caps on like every ability
im pretty sure TC wasnt capped in early BFA
well obv in SL
yeah yeah SL caps
the great cappening happened
it seems they are dead set on targetted ground abilities not being capped
D&D, Sigils, Consecration
"dots"
but yeah "uncap soul cleave" just because its a hardcap. Which is super rare in the modern game, especially with tanks
dots arent capped
yeah they dots
cuz how the fuck do you cap a dot
more dots more dots
the game would have to scan how many active dots are up from you specifically
each time
Sounds like a huge packet issue
correct
so it circuvents the whole d&d/consecration/sigil thing
we dont pulse a roar for 16seconds
right
Give warrior accumalator style roar. I WANT RAGEFIRE
does anyone know of a resource like the spell reflect sheet but for shadowmeld? or is this the kind of thing that just becomes known throughout a season
ofc not as a tank really just in general
thats extremely specific
shadowmeld = everything targeted
good point
hmmm
got a healer friend trying to decide on pay for dwarf or stay nelf next season and theyre scared by the bleed list so far
How are the rage gen nerfs ? Did they actualy go live , and if yes then how impactful are they?
thank you anyway!
they are live, just lessened by other tweaks
was this in response to my request for an accumalator style roar?
And did u play with them ? Do they affect a lot ? Both performance and fun wise
Not home at my pc, are the servers live?
thats for shadowmeld
okok
we received numerous other buffs
no
to the point of almost not being able to tell that we have received a strategist nerf
thane notices it the most
colossus only in single target
Okej okej gotta try it tmrw , thanks
Only downside to colossus is now I’ve actually gotta track rend uptime 😭
Not really, you still TC enough to keep it up, to fill globals and for rage
But revenge go brrr
i do let it fall of sometimes ngl
yeah its mostly fine
im not saying its correct to let it fall off
but that it does happen to me
that i actually dont TC for 20 seconds
it def happened to me when i colossus mid season
not completely wrong
Happened to me on ptr as I was able to spam a lot more revenge with the changes to the refund and other features
As another Vulpera tank this makes me smile lol
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?
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.
initial hit DR
Like bouncback from monk tree?
but dps wise im not sure
I also use Vulpera potion for a minor speed boost or to heal someone in a pinch.
they got a speed buff? Sign me up
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.
im surprised apb isnt here to be happy about vulpera players
@toxic pewter oh thank god i thought he left
But yeah been doing fine as Prot/Arms all season, I just couldn't complete any 12 keys ;-; Colossi been fun.
Na I’m still here
Can vulpera be dk? Because my bdk has major wheelchair syndrome
Yeah they can
They can be DK yeah
I’ve been in the PvP world. Became the highest rated Vulpera arms warr in the world in solo shuffle
good shit my dude
Outstanding!
Has Heavy Repercusions lost value in 11.1? its not in the wowhead recommended build?
Its more than haste values are gonna be high enough at new ilvl that its not needed as much
thank you
How do you know your the highest rated Vulpera arms warrior in the world for solo btw apb? I not really touched pvp, but I have been curious where I sit in stuff like M+
Websites like seramate or drustvar
Track people’s PvP progress
For mythic+ it’s basically raider.io
Oh
^
Yeah prob not
wowlogs I don't think has it either, but its just a genuine curiousity lol
Race doesn’t really matter I’m just being sorta cheeky
hehe!
i believe in apb
🙏
Is it worth tracking Colossal Might or are we sending Demolish pretty much on CD?
I sending that shit on cd
3 stacks I think
colossus or thane ?
thank you , so worth setting up a weak aura for when im incombat, have x3 stacks of CM and Demolish is off CD
bot?
me too old
did i miss it?
gib v bux plox
wasnt that the hacked guy from yesterday?
the steam card dude
could have been someone else
oh lol
I’ve never once had demolish off cd without 10 stacks, although execute nerf might change that. But I’ve always sent demolish on cd
I didn't see it this time
but it was the steam card bs again
mwahi been scammed by the click here for free vbucks before i see
It light up at 10
Damn I just realized I shoulda bet @toxic pewter on whether or not they'd do MOP classic
Lol
That I would never bet against
In my mind I won the bet season of discovery basically what I knew they’d bring
So I am a winner even now
Always and forever

is anyone else in the same boat as me, where you can't decide which to play between prot pal and warrior? i heard prot warrior is doing more damage, is that true?
theres nothign to do this week so just try both
I'm like that with vdh and pwar
no I'm not in the same boat, just play what you enjoy
if you're making the decision based on which one does more damage or does some special snowflake thing even though you'd kinda want to play the other you're just trolling your own enjoyment
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
It is brick vs medkit
Why not do both?
Did they fix colossus with the crit blocks not actually being stronger?
@strong forum ?
Where pwar emergency buffs?
in my pants
Can i still get zekvir achiev before season or is till patch only ? Kinda forget about it
my understanding is that its gone
Shame on me
but its pre-season so you might as well make sure
Goes away on march 4th
there you go
@neon elk
Nice then , still time , thanks
good time to do it with buffs being live too i guess
Yea , maybe it will also be a good time ( or realy bad ) to do mage tower on few chars
Also, when did Immovable Object become cool?
just this patch?
Also, Defender's Aegis? wtf is going on now
they took the rage gen off've imp wall
and reduced the base cooldown
IO became cool when we got an extra point on the class tree and colossus has never cared about UF
Does the Shield wall proc from tier set affect Immovable Object then?
no
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?
But did they fix Martial Expert for colossus?
no idea on that one
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
unless it uses some garbage math for the "20%" increase
a nerf lol
It works, it just doesnt push the 85% DR cap of critblock. It does give you some value to get there. Other than that, it is just the dam portion
I reported it not affecting the DR cap mutliple times on PTR, and wasnt changed. So it is on purpose
not a bug
We are losing 1H specilisation talent or its been baked into something else?
combined into another node, the 2/2 node that gives dam and movementspeed
well, leech
as we prot here
Ah missed that thank you
o7
this is prot warrior?
no, this is wendys
damn I was looking for vdh
1 baconator please
coming right up
I had wendy's earlier
💖
yes, only 17 dollars
nice
ye, wendy's where I live is goated
There's an 85% DR cap of critblock?
lmfao damn where you live bro
murica
same
That's what I said
yeah fr
you can get a 20 piece, extra large fry and large dribk for i think 11 ish via the mcdonalds app
go to mcds and get 4 single mcdoubles and a large fry and large coke for like 8$ and eat all day on that
used to be
ye

yea the "meals" only work now if your splitting them between 2 ppl
it's bullshit tbqh
agreed
bro I went to subway the other day and spent $30 on two sub meals
for me and my wife
yeah its fucking wild
And the quality is worse!
nah fk subway. ever since they got rid of the chicken breast its been trash and overpriced
i miss quiznos
Ahh interesting, so with the extra charges of shield wall were kinda using it as an extra offensive with IO
chicken carbonara was goated
yeah it's pretty neat tbh
chicken carbonara is just goated anyway
Shhh, you’ll upset the Italians
oh, we going down the path that leads to blended chicken?
shh youll summon nish
The best way to consume protein
canned fish time
bended chicken = mcdonalds nuggets
well, drink
Ye, cause something something I dont remember, it is more efficent
lol
just think on how much you wil save by making protine paste insted of buying powder

they need to open the servers, were loseing it
maintenance gonna get extended- calling it right now
I'll riot at blizz hq
probs and it will be becasue of the new warband char select options
well prepare your torch
yes and pitchforks of course
Is there anything special to reflect in new dung pool?
the reflect sheet is up to date
if you wanna look at it
obviously some raid stuff might not be put in until afterwards
interested in dung, smh
lf dung beetle spec
the dung ball is our shield cuz we need to keep it infront of our self and its constantly deteriorating
I'm surprised there wasn't something in Nerubar related to that. I guess that'd be too goofy for the tone
There is in this raid
The way they roll stuff looks pretty cool. Beetles just look pretty cool
You literally turn into a ball of garbage as one of the mechanics
Yeah but that's more Katamari and less... Dung beetle rolling stuff up.
am i the only one that has had music muted since vanilla?
i have it on for the first few hours of an xpac, then turn it off again
i end up setting the wow music to loop
if only the music was ffxiv good, but holy
You should at least listen to some of the tracks coming this patch
They are absolute fucking bops
i dont know about that
i'll fight you

some of best music of wow
I don't remember a single piece of music from BFA
kinda all downhill after ffxiv
Most of it is all ambient music in WoW, which I prefer
i get that
It fits better to me than having actual themes as often
BFA had tons of memorable music
But also, did you actually catch that news post where they were listing some of the music coming up, Nim?
hmm no
Here's one of the posts
ok let me have a listen
Has links to youtube videos with some of the pieces
Then there's the theory that one of the fights has a separate theme that plays during a mechanic
https://www.wowhead.com/news/rolling-rubbish-soundtrack-on-stix-junkbunker-raid-encounter-in-patch-11-1-369859
that first one is pretty decent
Some guildmates are telling me that prot warrior dmg are OP for next season ? what is your feelings ?
servers up
if thats the case then they are taking a page out of ffxiv
Yeah, I had to ask again because I understand you play FF14, and they do have like good music, so it made sense to not know that they're actually cooking this time
where the music remains the same but changes a little bit with combat

still gotta play xiv onea these days
Me pushing you to 3k rating
ok i gotta admit these are solid
Yeah, I'm glad I ,got you to listen to 'em. I know WoW doesn't normally have like standouts in music outside of specific tracks,
but these are quality
Wdym? Wow has some of the best music from any game
Most of the tracks in WoW are ambient features
i disagree
They're good, but not standout, and that's by design. They're there to enhance the experience
ffxiv is for weebs and thats all it has
ah yes the bait
There's absolute truck loads of environmental pieces for every, like, Invincible and what not
its just a shape dodging game with housing
sure
Just me or are the servers not up?
anyway, sorry for interfering....i just think wow music has always created a great atmosphere, even though I inevitably mute it
tthey came up again
Theme of the final phase of The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate) fight! The track is called: Moebius (Orchestral Version).

stuck at this, idk why i try to play on patch day lol
yes yes, ive been there, doesnt matter....its just disconnected from the gameplay like the shape dodging
hmm
i had that for a few minutes, just got in
idk most savage and ultimate music fits the theme and fights pretty well
aight ill keep trying ty
anybodys elvui not showing their actions bars?
Did you update
i updated elvui yesterday
and yesterday was before a patch
on top of that, i have 13.84 for elvui listed as released a week ago
🤷♂️ I don't use elvui so
he got it
you mean for wow
Yeah
LOLS
its patch day everyone!
ui mending time!
lua error farming
remember as NA we're here beta testing for EU
🙂
Lmfao
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
well the problem is that TC is a rage generator
so you might as well get some damage out of it
even in the form of rend
Ah, missed that, makes sense
i got in and started watching a cutscene before it kicked me out again
aaaaa
I see noms notes, so we can decide between col and mountain? pretty similar?
That doesn’t sound right
Clap still does a lot of things even with colossus
