I stack intellect

because I want to be a smart warrior

tribal wharf
#

in vanilla someone claimed int = faster weapon skill

drowsy narwhal
#

and ice veins and method.gg were putting crit = vers for 2nd

neon elk
#

btw there was discussion yd ( i guess) about ms talent not stacking with ms gem, but for some reason in my char stats , using dejacharstats addon , it shows them as stacking, is this addon bug, or do they realy stack ? im not sure default char stats shows speed

drowsy narwhal
#

i dont know what nome had for 1st season in his guide

plush tendon

#

so at worst they were put as equals while mass of players were favoring vers over crit

do we play now colossus over mountain thane?

if our dmg is as broken as it was on ptr i guess so, (just came back from work and tryin to see if all changes made it to live)

simple atlas
#

I tried looking back in here and checked wowhead, but is this weapon not good?

royal marten
#

Lack of secondaries is a hard sell

simple atlas
#

gotcha, didnt know if the proc was good

royal marten
#

Probably depends on how it ends up simming. "High chance" is doing a lot of heavy lifting

#

On the other hand, it does look cool, and that's what matters more

chilly brook
#

lack of secondaries doesn't matter

#

it's all down to whether the proc is good or not, we've had several no secondaries weapons be our BiS in recent history

Well technically

#

Forgestorm was not actual bis

#

It just simmed high on average

Emphasis on average

on average

it was severely rppm based

Last season I was running talents to increase shield block uptime and I noticed this season with the m+ colossus build some different talents are suggested. Making this change to my talent build, I assume I should expect gaps in shield block? Or through haste and proper play should I be expecting no gaps?

anything we can do by now except questing?!

flat wasp
#

is there a good article or video on the pros and cons of thane vs colossus. Im new and never ran colossus before.

From reading the talents I see:

  1. Demolish on a 45s CD as a mini defensive CD at start of pulls?
  2. more AOE dmg
  3. Better IP
  4. Fewer shield slams available so more attention needed to maintain Shield Block

Mainly concerned on any downsides Im missing and where Demolish should be used.

Demolish should be used almost on CD

battering ram = with new tier

Damn, gave Colossus a clumsy spin in a key and my damage was waaay higher. Is this an across the board thing because of the prepatch, or just us?

Both I guess

lf help re demolish: is there a WA to track charges? I know it glows at 10 but id like to track charges

lusty grotto
#

any WA that tracks colossal might stacks will work

#

Demolish has no stack data in itself, its all through the Colossal Might buffs

#

so just wago "colossal might" and youll find some

#

or make your own

#

most warrior suites have colossal might tracking also

mighty valley
#

whenever i played colossus it hit 10 before the cd was up basically always

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

in both seasons too

mighty valley
#

don't really need to think about stacks

lusty grotto
#

the first cast is usually with less but whatever

#

after the first one every cast is a 10 stacker

mighty valley
#

yeah i'm not sure what was optimal on pull, i usually just did usual rotation + CDs while gathering and then hit demo with however many stacks i'd naturally picked up by the time i was good to plant my feet

#

sorry. shouldn't say demo

that being said with rng walls from tier + IO + DA, youll have a lot of Wall uptime so probably not at the weekly key range

I was wondering, is there a way to track my shield block uptime without weakauras? ie dragging it down into my FOV. I have a large screen computer with default buff frame

worn basalt
#

its in details

#

under the auras tab

lusty grotto
#

closest thing in game is what he said

supple meadow
#

no I mean like, when I press it, and it's in the buff bar, how do I bring it to the level of say my health bar

lusty grotto
#

but most accurate is logs

#

oh

supple meadow
#

I have my health bar directly under my toon

uncut sparrow
#

You move that buff bar in edit mode with stock UI. It’s a mess though.

supple meadow
#

oof

#

I figured

lusty grotto
#

yeah that's called the power bar

supple meadow
#

I just dislike weakauras idk why lol I know everyone swears by them but

lusty grotto
#

sorry

supple meadow
#

They just irritate me

lusty grotto
#

"Personal Resource Display"

supple meadow
#

yeah, I figured blizz wouldn't make it easy

#

ty anyway

lusty grotto
#

there's no default way to track it other than looking at the buff, and there's no buff management as part of the default ui, so you cant actively separate one buff from the others and move it, etc

supple meadow
#

yeah that's what I was wanting to do

lusty grotto
#

can i ask why youre so opposed to weakauras?

supple meadow
#

I have a 23inch screen so it's kind of far outta my fov

glacial lynx
#

Just count outloud

cerulean tusk
#

But you can move WAs around as you want em?

lusty grotto
#

you can scale stuff around

cerulean tusk
#

Either way, there is a personal recourse bar in options

lusty grotto
#

aka resize

cerulean tusk
#

activate it

#

and then hook on buffs

#

should show shieldblock, wall and so on

supple meadow
#

I try to use them, and they just feel like... in the way? I know that's the whole purpose

#

but I guess it's just cause I'm autistic lmfao

lusty grotto
#

maybe try what funky is saying

cerulean tusk
#

It is the blizzard bar, so when you move around, or mobs move around you - your bar moves around

#

it is horrid

#

but it is baseline in the game

supple meadow
#

having autism is annoying sometimes because it's irrational bullshit

lusty grotto
bronze locust
#

They should just add #showtooltip buffid for macro and let it slot in on some bar button

Why they dont anchor it, I will never know

#

like hating weakauras even though it's like literally the best option

lusty grotto
#

Turn it on for a sec

then find some dummies, move about

i would rather use blizzard action bars than bartender or some total ui conversion

While I get where you guys are coming from, blizz UI aint there yet

supple meadow
#

it does exactly what I want lol

tribal wharf
#

i wish that they had passable EVERYTHING addon, addons that matter like dps meter, threat meter if you go tank mode in retai l

cerulean tusk
#

I am glad you enjoy the wonky recourse bar - it just gives me a headache

tribal wharf
#

doesnt have to be amazing, just has to be passable for average noob player

it'll get there eventually

#

who just wants to install vanilla and lesgo

lusty grotto
#

just dont hold your breath

cerulean tusk
#

I wont, I given up on blizzard, as it seems to go at a snails pace - when ppl can mod/addon the game in a fraction of the time

#

First season playing prot, do we have to go back to not playing into the fray until we get better gear once s2 starts?

lusty grotto

ehh

#

most of us just swapped already but if you have low haste you might wanna stick to HR

celest glacier
#

Thanks, that answers it

tribal wharf
#

this was in response to they kept wanting him to learn the books for spells

neon elk
#

Is s2 dungeon pool better or worse for us ? Like bleeds non blockable dmg magic etc etc

tropic ferry
#

oh and is the way to engage a pull still something like charge slam sb tc revenge eventually ip yadda yadda? i read something around thunderclap not being used as much anymore but i was wondering how that applies after opening, is it just not high on the priority if we go into revenge slam rotation and keeping up mitigation?

drifting hull
#

Public opinion is yes, s2 is much worse than s1, but unless you are pushing for title, you will be perfectly serviceable

lusty grotto
#

under rotation

#

its very handy

#

you WILL still use TC

mighty valley
lusty grotto
#

you will need to reset SS at certain times, and apply rend

tropic ferry
# lusty grotto wowhead has an opener section

yeah i have that opened, i was asking more in the trash pull direction, where snap threat on multiple mobs is important and

Beyond applying Rend, Thunder Clap falls mostly out of the rotation in AoE.

just confused me as in how tc is applied further but its just lower on the priority and to apply rend yeah. sometimes it takes a bit to digest these wowhead guides, cheers

neon elk
lusty grotto
#

you will rely more on troar for snap thread

#

since tc will hit like a wet noodle

#

and has baseline range

#

since we dont play Crackling

#

if MT prio is SS=TB>TC>Rev, Col is SS>Rev>TC - essentially youre swapping the prio between Rev and TC

neon elk
#

Where do u spend talent from crackling ? No pain no gain? Cuz icy veins m+ build uses crackling iirc

lusty grotto
#

well

#

Nome's build doesnt play crackling

#

regardless TC is not big snap thread, so crackling doesnt matter

#

as colossus

#

nome's uses intervene

#

and rumbling

#

either is fine

neon elk
#

Yea i guess thats where the extra point went compared to mine , i got rid of fear for interv , was not too sure about crackling

lusty grotto
#

its not doing a lot for you

#

at least as colossus

neon elk
#

Well looks like rumbling it is, nothing else realy makes sense there

lusty grotto
#

yeah basically fear, rumbling, intervene are swappable

#

and crackling (which you dont want as colossus)

How can I get rid of the 2nd number in the corner? I only wanna see the cd

it was put in this patch

im sure someone will figure out a way

Okay nice 🙂

mighty valley
#

you mean duration, not CD right?

shy python

Yeah duration sorry

mighty valley
#

honestly in realistic situations, the duration won't really matter

it'll either get eaten up or naturally refreshed most of the time

it makes me be more mindful of it

lusty grotto

its great for default uis for sure

supple meadow
#

and that's exactly what I have lol

#

I just wish messing with the buff bar wasn't so annoying

mighty valley

i never really had a need to pay attention to any facts about IP, interested to see if that's changed when s2 starts

supple meadow
#

Idk, I'm just trying to be the best tank I can lmao

lusty grotto
#

yeah i barely track it with colossus anyway

#

back in s1 and right now

#

but it is welcome

#

unlike thane which doesnt need to track it at all

shy python
#

I found this WA last year and I really like it but it hasn't a duration

lusty grotto

seems fine

as long as youre not rage starving yourself with its usage and/or with revenge usage, its fine

you are

you should barely ever have a chance to press revenge on thane lol

lusty grotto
#

youre playing it like it was colossus

mighty valley
#

well more than before I guess with the slight decrease in ss resets

lusty grotto
#

thunderblast/ss should be your top damage

#

as thane

supple meadow
#

I was told to fish for ss resets with thunderclap/blast and revenge

#

I mean it hasn't not worked for me yet

lusty grotto
#

as thane you only use revenge when SS or TC are on cd

so

hmm

I'd have to look but that sounds familiar

#

but yeah i doubt it woud surpass thunder

supple meadow
#

it just kept working so I didn't question it

sharp gale
#

i'll try a key now as thane

mighty valley
#

in general you want to press generators over spenders to keep the engine going

#

colossus just gets such insane revenge damage that it changes the equation

supple meadow
#

yeah I mean I was only rage starved and very little times, in overworld content

#

like I said I just kept pressing buttons and it just kept working 💀💀

mighty valley
#

in the overworld you can do whatever

supple meadow
#

even in dungeons

#

any dungeons

mighty valley
#

but yeah if you want to maximize dps and living

#

maximize rage gen (on thane)

supple meadow
#

I do

#

If I rage starve myself it means I fat fingered a button

mighty valley
#

well you’re not if you’re pressing revenge over tc, right

lusty grotto
#

actually youre right, Happy

#

revenge actually did go up at least in sims

#

but it still doesnt beat blasts

supple meadow
#

idk man again like I said I don't even know

#

I just kept pressing buttons and it just kept working

#

everything was fluid and decent

lusty grotto
#

no idea what you mean by "kept working"

#

doesnt mean youre playing correctly

supple meadow
#

I don't even know

lusty grotto
#

the game wont auto close if youre playing wrong

supple meadow
#

obviously

#

I don't even know man. I just play the game

mighty valley
#

it’s all good! it’s just a lil weird if rev is your top damage as thane and this is prob a thing to get better at as you push higher

supple meadow
#

I can't explain it to you

I got that from nome himself

and BSV

no ravager

which im guessing you swapped out for BSV

also I don’t think it’s worth almost any ilvl upgrade to wear a non plate piece, grab a crafted off the ah

🤷‍♂️ idk man I didn't swap anything

youll sim lower anyway with those

in my talents in game

I have both

I got that one from nome and I have the one he put on the website too

he just swapped around talents

lusty grotto

shrug i dont know the context for what nome recommended

supple meadow
#

It was for another guy and I decided to try it out too lol

A/D feels more like mario kart and therefore better but my boost button is bound to my mouse so it feels weird not to use my mouse

@lusty grotto yo bro, when u said s2 dungs are worse for us , is it that bad ? Like will i regret going war ? Keys around 12-14 , also comunity perception kinda matters to me as i mostly pug

does free revenge take prio over tclap in st as colo?

revenge always takes prio

over tc, unless youre low on rage

round cliff

what counts as "low on rage" tho

#

70? 60? 20?

wind prawn

Low = can't cast revenge 🙂

anything less than an SB

you wanna cast TC when your SS is on CD and youre low on rage

On average I did 1.4-1.6mil dps as Colossus with my best being 1.8mil in s1

So it's not too wild to see people breaking 2mil, I just didn't expect people to do it day 1 :d

except for the fact that challenger's peril goes up (to 12, from 7 in s1) and guile has no more 10% flat hp/dmg

neon elk
#

Yea but first week 10s should be chill then

lusty grotto
#

the only change is after 12, key scaling is "slower"

#

ehhh

#

depends on gearing

should be doable sure

#

but early gearing also plays a factor

earnest nymph

colossus is nuts in m+

do you just TC to apply rend and then not use it anymore after?

lusty grotto

and for SS resets

plus rage

TCing for an SS reset when low rage

dmg is nuts though. I know we got the like 20% aura buff to damage or whatever it was but my overall is like 60% higher than it was with MT prior to the new patch

Anyone know if there's any benefit to raiding/m+ by doing the new storyline or can I just skip it in it's entirety without missing anything besides an enchanted crest I'll never use?

im pretty sure you wont miss much

I read something about a new augment rune but not sure of the specifics or if it's tied to renown or anything

sharp gale

Idk maybe there is a story mode unlock after X week but who cares (the quest that gave us the thing to craft I don’t remember a lot)

lusty grotto

kinda early for a perma aug rune

its usually last tier

I can't even find any info googling it so maybe it was just another rumor?

untill the big nerf that will come warrior are prob the best tank for m+ high tier? (19-19)

No

We do slightly more damage than prot pala, and have none of its utility

Well worse utility

jagged pier
#

We dont even have more dps than other tanks, druids in ST right now do around the same

mild river

Id say they should wait a little until we all get our 4pc

#

And then nerf or buff

jagged pier
#

Ppl just blew there top seeing a screenshot of sims when for 4 tanks the sims werent even finished

#

Ppl have also forgot the reason why they put warrior so low and it was nothing to do with damage, its all unblockabke spell damage and bleeds next season

#

That hasnt changed

fossil shore
#

Quick question, MT oder Colossus, which specc is better in m+?

sharp gale
#

Yeah the damage topic is for other tanks too, it’s just the frontline is prot war for now it seems

#

And on top of the m+ scaling right now, average people do low keys and instant damage/whatever you call it specs shines bright

tulip oar
#

Did a couple keys as prot last night. Oh man I hate the rage starvation of Colossus. Great damage, but way too slow and a lot harder to maintain shield block and IP.
I hope Thane isn't as bad.

Thane is fine

#

But your over spending as colossus if thats happening too u

i just made a +13 and the colossus tank was doing more dps that our DPS DK

How many stacks of Colossal Might should I optimally send Demolish on? I think it uses 5 but I can stack up to 10? So should I always make sure I have 5 as a minimum?

tulip oar

Not yet, from what I've been told.

karmic plinth
hot orbit
#

Noobish question.
From what i ve understood: Colossus big dam but rage starving so it s difficult to have SB and IP always up. MT less dmg but more rage for mitigation. So, what s the point of playing Colossus instead MT? Is the dmg gap worth it?

karmic plinth
#

the dmg gap is worth it

#

col cant spam ip as much but it has a bigger IP and u have the extra DR and increased critblock

#

u will prio being able to send revenge over being able to keep ip up all the time

pseudo matrix
#

Did a stonevault +10 colussus prot needs a buff its kinda weak

hot orbit
#

They will nerf our dmg

#

It s impossibile to see something like that 😆

ionic fern
hot orbit
#

Right?

sharp gale
#

Basically you don’t have infinite rage anymore

hot orbit
#

Ok guys. Thank you all

sharp gale
#

You kinda have to practice to know when you can double revenge or whatever rage spend choice, with the remaining duration of shield block, your rage, the IP, shield charge remaining cd etc

it will def get a nerf bat probably next week

"Mythic+ Keystones Will Reset to +2 On Season 2 Launch" i don t understand what does it means...I know what it literally means... but I don't understand the meaning XD

Ah... maybe "if you have a key 10 in bag, it will become a +2 on season launch day" ?

Now it’s everyone gets a +2 (what I understood)

That is correct. Everyone gets, at max, a level 2 keystone next Tuesday.

Thats kind of the point of the changes, but updated builds can be found on wowhead or icyveins

Better always have overcap on block, than downtime

Think maybe swapping to a haste flask instead of crit could make up the difference?

You can swap to haste flask yes if you think you might be over the cap to ITF but not sure and do a key to see

tawny briar
#

Playing collosus for the first time since the changes, when going into a pull without any stacks do I hold demolish or just send it on CD?

sharp gale
#

Some dungeons have more than others, that’s why you can feel having harder time fo SB if you really have just reached ItF haste

cerulean tusk

I usually build some stacks as I gather and send, to get it on CDR faster
