Same when i get back from gym
my question was why you suggest the extra 30 rage when COL is lacking rage from what I ve read
thats in raid build i assume
and in raid you dont need the CC picks so you can go into the rage
for more potential poomp
Watcha using for wpn?
im charge blade 1 trick
Longsword for me but its my first mh game so gunna try more

But gelled with longblade most on beta
ah okay, thanks, i m not used to play 2 builds, i only play mythic builds cause i m too lazy to swap each time 😄
😄
from the comments of yt vids where ppl played prot warr col, they all say its getting nerfed
i hope they dont nerf the dmg
for once its nice that we have a pay off playing a tank with not much utility/self healing
im loading it up right now
perks of still having 1-2 days remote and being friday
she might wanna try a saftey blade on her razer...
1.66M overall in a GB10 
youre late
cause arms was big before people discovered our output
idc about output my dude
its just fun
was running around the goblin zone as a FDK/UDK
was kind of meh
went there as arms
10 times more fun

Is either of the hero talents better for X scenario in raid or purely preference
Cuz this is kinda a lot to take in
the guide says which
play w/e releases more dopamine
but tldr colossus for everything
Col will be more dammies (most people will default to Col this tier me thinks)
MT is more rage
basically the TLDR
Gotcha
Which in my book translates as: Colo for normal business, Thane if I need extra help no die
Roughly.
hmm

colossus is not a paper tank
Nope,better than s1.
But I'd wager MT still pulls ahead slightly in the defensive part.
You can play Colossus super defensively as well and send more Rage into IP,but that puts a dent in your DPS.
yea
but MT is kind of boring
really doesnt change anything about the spec... its basically BFA prot war
Col plays more like SL Warrior
true
SL prot is baked into thane a little bit
was late on the train
due to IP spam (banner), Outburst and Shield Charge (reprisal-like)
I played BDK in SL for obvious reasons
What does "Raid Council" means?
I think maybe he is referring to the builds on Wowhead - I would classify it as a boss encounter with 3+ primary targets
ye ty
last season it was court
that was only 2 boses
in DF we had council of dreams, forgotten experiments, primal council
it had only 2 but is considered the council fight
common sense dictates you use cleave specs there
or 2 target cleave
brood can be considered a council fight since its an ad fest, but is mostly considered to be pure AOE
brood would be a priority target with large add aoe bursts right?
Didn't play palace
Well don't council builds normaly sacrfice priority/single target? Sorry not too sure about this, and right terms
for the most part
Would it be good to remove Champion's Bulwark and use that point for Enduring Defense?
but in our case, there's not much variation
Or is Bulwark still the best option
@strong forum the Season 2 page has some outdated season 1 stuff/gear on it still
Question is why
can you rephrase your question?
huuuuh
wtf+
This is fine. We're fine.
Use the build of Enduring Defense plus Champion's Bulwark feels like smooth like before the patch.
its been funny seeing all these people who don't know how to play havoc/AR havoc and do such small damage
I just want to know why people play it
the only reason we dont play both is when we go full execute
im just confused where not having both is coming from
Champion's Bulwark is always taken. And onlytime Eunduring defense isn't is in the execute Ashen Jugg damage build
hence why i asked which build
Those players must’ve been really bad
they probably are
What is execute build?
yes
oh, is this col or mt?
most people running keys rn are testing their changes and/or grabbing some gear here and there
yeah I think that was just a 9, I was just tesing colossus, never played it last season
what build did you run that didnt use both Champion's Bulwark + ED last season?
fixed it
A personal tweaked build that left off Enduring Defense for Bloodsurge. I still used Champion's Bulwark.
It was Thane.
bloodsurge kinda unneeded as thane but
its your subscription hehe
and there's no reason to run bloodsurge now due to the nerfs
I enjoyed have the rage when I needed it for whatever. I don't play Warrior like the top guys do.
I currently don't.
well you press SS for that
vastly more important to maintain SB uptime than last season's bloodsurge rage gains
the people here are so friendly...must nicer than in any pure-dps discord ❤️
or archeus bdk (shhh I didn't say that)
I know. But now I feel like I don't have to rage for SB when it's up while also having rage for other abilities outside of SS and it's proc.
AGREED ^
Maybe I need more practice.
likely
not u, ur wrong, agreed with Badkad xD
we have played 2 SB-related talents since DF
ED + Bulwark or ED + Bolster in DF S2
SB is that important
except in raid settings where we want to parse with execute builds
and where SB uptime is not as important since youre 1 of 2 tanks and wont be actively tanking all the time
I know SB is important. And to keep uptime I have to stutter and hold rage for it and not use anything else.
stutter?
you just need to press SS more
Not pressing buttons.
and not rage starve yourself with IP spam
so your overspending rage
what trinkets do we aim as tank? i did no check to much tbh
I do press SS. but there are times when it's on cd and no proc to refresh.
devastator (auto attacks) reset SS
Thunderclap reset SS
Revenge reset SS
as thane you also have Burst of Power
check dm i sent you
And I have encountered a non-reset of SS and that hurts.
Thanks, I did 😄
But I will do some practicing and see where I'm failing.
well you just press TC
Thanks for the info all
as thane
TC generates rage too
and if both SS and TC are down you use revenge
just watch your rage bar and don't go below 30 rage at any given time
that way you have an emergency reserve for SB
but yeah like i said: always run 2 SB related talents (ED/Champs Bulwark/Bolster)
except when youve graduated to ST execute raid parsing
I remember when I first learned pwar. I was a baby player in patch 8.4 (Ny'alotha tier) learning prot warrior and blood dk at the same time. Twas fun when there was no guranteed 100% SB
and remember we're gonna be swimming in SB uptime anyway due to Shield Charge (with Bulwark) resets + tier
Are we the only tanks doing goofy numbers rn or is everyone cracked due to the +20% aura
All tanks are doing good damage. Except bear maybe? Don't know about bear and does anyone really care about it? lol
jk
My cotank for this season is a bear x_x
gotta get that vers buff
well bear also has catweaving for raid so not sure if it holds in that situation
everyones cracked
So we personally don't have to fear a heavy handed nerf bat
maybe just a reduction in the tank aura buff?
not at all
only change might be reverting demolish buff to being arms exclusive
which would be approx 2% in st, and 4-5% in aoe i think
Idk if I'm just a skeptic but I'm expecting giga tank dam to have some
Why would blizzard, after saying tank damage is too low and not a state they like, proceed to single out one tank that's not super duper far ahead if its ahead at all?
im sorry nim
they're gonna leave it alone and tanking gonna be fun 
Plus, blizzard has data, sims, and stuff they collect from ptr etc. There was a reason they gave all tanks but brew/prot pal a 20% aura buff, and 15% for those other 2.
Ya where’s our verse buff Augusto?
we have a cat!
I no bear

besides you shouldve beared... instead you copy me and play VDH

I can’t believe you would fob your responsibility onto a poor feral Druid
They have enough problems
where were u previously?
Boys... is prot crashing out 😦 I keep getting rejected from 10 keys
@lusty grotto hey why does yoda not play the recommended wowhead build
If I had to bet he keeps a better build to himself so he can top lmao
gives wowhead the 'average overall "meta"'
VDH THE PEAK NOW??????
true, we should trust yoda
Ive been high on VDH for a while
ever since they did the +2 seconds on demon spikes
demon spikes isn't real
He’s got you there
rejected bc our damage is too good 😔
5'2" dps peasants afraid of their 6' kings
good question
I like both
but prob Tauren for War
and Highmountain for Druid
cause moose
LET ME IN
but super low dif
I do have trouble surviving
is that thematically? or racial wise
theme
Antlers a little on the nose for a warrior me thinks
and I like the normal Tauren horns
especially with the Black Temple set
Minotaur mhm
peak Tauren War
so peak
slap a bulwark of Azzinoth on that
ooo baby
Racial difference between the two also isnt huge
hey all,
just a quick question:
Is there any point when we trade our current 4P T-set into a 2P and 2x S2 Heroic gear? or is the old 4P T-set online till we can swap it completly?
Sim it or something
Fucked up this species of warrior tank is extinct now.
😔
2pc is big
thank you 👍
Guys, question for prot war Masters, currently trying colossus build on ptr and it feels nice, but i am not sure, if it is mandstory to use your demolish always after thunderous roar or it doesnt make any benefit for min Max
I mean you know that it’s live right?
is there any way arround ravager? i hate that talent
Just press your buttons on CD don’t think about it too much
you will swap out of it and into battering ram with tier
what do you mean on PTR, dont you mean live?
Still run it in keys no?
wow stole taurens from doom
Why did pwar going from best to lower tier list tank in 11.0 and 11.5? I don't think they got nerfed did they?
yeah until we get 2pc
this game is vrtually medival doom so
thats awesome, do you think i can play it without tierset too? only doing 10s weekly currently
Nom’s key build doesn’t have it?
not recommended, but you can
if the build has battering ram its a build for when you get s2 tier
Yes that’s what I’m saying his raid build includes it but his m+ build does not include battering ram
yeah i mean those look fine
ravager for M+ until you get 2pc
he will update when the season is live
right
you want battering ram with 2pc due to SC resets
but that's the flex point for BSV as well
ravager is only worth it now
i think i just macro ravager into my one use dps trinket
because we dont have 2pc
Pretty sure 4p is the reset 🤔
Also; when the season starts the vault is reset too (Ie we don't get to do M10s now and next week open up a vault of myth level gear for undermine)
yeah youre right
Yeah, live, but i test ptr Keys so far. So wanna know this
but the 15% damage amp is good regardless
looks like highmountain is >>>>> tauren
vers is great, and the knockup doesn't DR with your stuns
what does thunderous roar do to benefit demolish?
tauren's stun DRs with shockwave, and the stamina bonus is negligible
it does nothing but it aligns with demo + avatar which are your big damage amps
so
ideally you want to use SC/Troar/Demolish with Demo(BV) + Avatar
so demo and avatar buff troar
Protection Warrior has a ton of attention leading to the next season, primarily changing the spell priority and the focus of the class rotation (with the bread-and-butter basics staying the same). Luckily, the compensation buffs that came, (% flat damage adjustments, stronger Ignore Pain Icon Ignore Pain, and better self-sustain thanks to more Rage) which makes up for all the other nerfs. In addition, a new recent build has been discovered, making their single-target and AoE damage the best among any other tank DPS, which immensely improves their performance. Although you can have durability troubles at time (especially against continuous magical damage) your damage profile offsets the negatives, making them one of the best choices starting in Season 2.
troar has no direct correlation with demolish uses (it's the other way around)
if anything you want to demo first in that window
so it takes 10% more damage
I love that everyone's tier list is all over the place
will they keep hero talents into 12.0 and beyond i wonder
Yep, it is evergren
imagine answering a question and someone posts a million screenshots of tier lists
like they matter
100% this. Feel like a lot of people aren't taking into account the after demo dmg amp in terms of maximizing dmg windows
Where you get this list?
Those 10% windows will add up to a LOT more dmg if utilized properly over the course of a key
yup, so to specifically answer your question @main edge you want to avatar + demo then demolish, then troar/sc
and NOT demolish AFTER troar
like you mentioned
tldr: other way around
most realistic tierlist
and unbiased pally might have moved up, i just fucking hate consecration
new tierlist just dropped guys 😏
nice nice
thanks, i was curius just about it.
Where all these tier lists come from? They wat different from the one on wowhead
dont listen to tierlists
how many stacks of ITF do sims use?
max stacks
both bdk db and sanlyn has execute
db through soul reaper, sanlyn through increased DS dmg on low hp target
Correct list. 🙏
I just like how hard we’re cranking. Asserting dominance on dps feels nice.
I think next expansion they will add another hero talent tree to save on tuning headaches
How will adding more help
Adding other lines of existing talents trees give a billion more headaches than adding a another thing
They will just rework and rearange whole thing i guess
Bring back corruption with vendor
That’s the first point of hero talents in the first place, they didn’t want to add talent points in class tree or spec tree
Some talents are useless. Like wow you give me ignore pain as a talent
Or like wow you gave mage blink as a talent
That’s tree pathing, it is to tune how many really useful talent points you can use as choices
Cranking with maxed pvp neck thingy, crit damage corruption and max Lego cloak
Or cheesing with twilight devastation at 48% of max hp dmg
Fact: 8.2 (essences) and 8.3 (corruptions) were good aside from acquisition
Plus pwar was kinda good then too
Fury was a blast
What % uptime on avatar and shield wall is possible now m+?
is there a reason to track colossal might or am I sending demolish on CD anyway
hmm usually demolish cd is up long after you have 10 stacks
so it might not be required
that being said most warrior WAs track it
and on the pull u just send it naked anyway right
i personally send it yeah with demo/avatar
yeah thats what ive been doing, good enough for me
but that depends on the fight and/or if there's early damage amps etc
Is the spell reflection sheet updated?
yes
Out of curiosity, why are builds saying to drop ravager? I'd have thought the threat and rage gen would keep it a valuable talent. Or is survivability that rough we have to take more tanky points?
You drop Ravager once you get tier.
The extra SC'es make BR a better choice in most situations.
That said, you can still play Ravager - it's not bad.
Also when did people swap from the rage reduces cooldown of shield wall to the double stacks of shield wall?
Really just nice for an initial pull at start or where stacks have fallen off from long travel time somehow. Otherwise pretty useless imo
11.1
They reduced the base CD of SW and also nerfed Impenetrable Wall to not give Rage anymore.
I'm assuming not but does immovable object interact with s2 2pc tier?
No.
The double SW on 2min cd actually feels better than previous, maybe that’s just me.
the effective CD with imp wall and last patch's rage gen was pretty comically low
but this is a decent happy medium of being able to do back to back walls when needed and a pretty low cd
this was a NW 12 and all the dps were "cant wait for them to nerf you to the ground" yeah gl finding tanks next season with that attitude
but yeah prot is a bit too stronge
As we are currently beating most avg players on DPS, ye - nerfs are coming
justified? Probably not
You should have asked them why they weren’t doing 4M overall like other pugs you played with
That’ll teach em!
well as one of the buffs wasnt supposed to be for us

Bad DPS players deserve to be beaten.
im just tanking for shit and giggles cause i heard prot was strong
but honestly i dont mind if tanks do hell of high dps next season as long as we get more ppl playing them
I mean, there is enha with 1.6 overal in NW while having augvoker .. ofc u gotta beat that , nothing to do with class balance
I was sitting at like 3m overall in a 14 Arakara before it died on the 2nd boss

theyre all missing the tier set, ours does nothing dpswise right?
oh
At least better than the current one
i hope they bring other tanks up to prot warrior instead of bringing prot down to them
bigger numbers more fun more tanks in lfg
colussus arms buff leaked to prot colussi
Am I reading the guides correctly - Col is doing more DPS but Thane is either - is more tanky [survivability] or at a minimum still "playable" in M+?
Both are perfectly fine
Im doing just as much on my VDH as Pwarr
Fel scarred or the other one?
"playable" is a understatement. MT is still great in M+.
lmao prot warrior isn't some insane damager dealer. Its about on par with all the other tanks
um ok? My message wasn't to you
Thane did like 1.9m vs Col at 2.2m last few runs I tested em in CoT (active DPS)
Yes?
Reinforcing your point
hi gamers, which spec would you say is the "tankiest"? ignoring all damage/utility aspects, just based on survivability
brother I'm making a joke
Thanks for all the info mate!
Probably still Thane.
out of all tank specs i meant
depends on damage profile of the content
Well, that's way too vague and impossible to answer.
which tank ends up being the tankiest is often a literal dungeon-by-dungeon metric
What does "Tankiest" mean? Self sufficient? Least damage intake? MOst consistent damage intake?
Even then, there's still points where their kits are weaker, and like Mwahi mentions,
There's a lot of things that go into it
that depends on what content and what you mean by tankiest
My gutpunch feel of tankiest, is Thane. Tho, I cant say I felt that much different from Col.
Honestly, prob all placebo and healer diff
like in raid brew and bdk are often called the "tankiest" but they literally work in almost direct opposite ways
There's no tank spec that'd be entirely unable to do content, though, at pretty much any level. It'd be possible it's harder on some specs than others, but that's not always due to how tanky a spec is
It can often be access to meaningful interrupts/damage/DPS defensive help
All I got to say is: If they nerf Pwarrior, I really hope it is flat aura nerfs, not Demo targeted or similar. As it being a real impactful ability is super fun
I hope if they nerf pwar they nerf the rest as well, we might have broken dmg but thats pretty much all we got
We are not even that far ahead on dps.
Tbf i dont even know how we are compared to rest of tanks
A bit early for nerfs when the season hasn't even started. 😮
Wont be first time
!!!! New tier list dropped!!!
It is well known that blizzard highly monitors all tier lists.....always put warrior bottom.
lmao,. where is this one from?
guess were evading the nerf today boys 😏
Dont put pally up top, I play that too, avoiding the nerfs, I hear bear and brew are S+++
wink wink
put em all in d
this just in straight off the press
perfect
100%
Are mobs just blowing up too fast for dps to get going
Pwar does most dps?
probably, all the data is kinda junk right now though
yes, colossus in m+ is the one people are freaking out about
Don't see it on archon. Where can see this?
sims and anecdotal evidence people are sharing
In here it says 1.3 pwar. Is that it?
can we take ppal off this
i don't really know which logs archon pulls from, plus it's garbage time in the season so i'd take everything with a grain of salt
but yes, colossus pwarr is doing big aoe damage, don't think that's disputed
hi
can we not?
whats your st damage
archons data is usually not the best
i mean
that’s not even the issue here
it’s the fact that
it’s wacko world data
any data u get for this week is useless
yeah and everything is currently fake
i did an all tank and i was like 35% ahead of everyone else :x
popularity is also a huge factor in archon's final score lol
SL? and rune of sanguination?
15s currently feel like 10s, lol
guys
I did the math earlier, 14'2 are about 2 below, so 15s are roughly 2.3 below in scaling
ppl r saying meiko isnt the meta tank anymore
how does this affect the s4 meta for next expac
Fellowship?
ye
Meiko and helena are only 2 ive played so far
how will this affect s4 next expac
Brew will be meta
kk i will gear one rn
Sup yall! We think TR or Spear is better right now for M+? Saw both on wowhead, is it just a preference thing?
Preference.
Thanks!
I like the roar myself!
imo i think spear is rather better for timing keys
but not enough to play spear if you hate it
roar is better when i have gajeel charging in before me
yea
that would matter if i cared
if some1 insta bursts on a pack and i need to run roar because of them
i am blocking them on all communication platforms
stares at ret paladin in my group
i cannae stand da spear. TR all the way
🙂
its just a thing of
large burst every 90s>smaller burst every 45s
& spear util
but very miniscule most of the time
tho if u pug
prob just roar--rets cannot be trusted
🤷♂️
sir, thats 3 days ago
we're hunting monsters now
hammer main here AMA
are u hammered
god ive never wanted to be dem monsters more

instead of bat we use this

Ngl I might try one of the gun weapons this play through
I’ve never even equipped a gun weapon
look at how they massacred my boy.... they made him into a stripper twink
you can't even be a fighter pilot anymore
unplayable
what talents are we using for m+ next season ?
only gunlance, all other are noobs.
colo for damage, thane for safety, execute for parsing and punish for more DR
Ye I think I’m going gun lance
I like slow heavy hitting weapons
Is the new dung open yet ?
its so good, been using it since it came out. was regular guy lance since 2004. good visuals, strong but slow hits. big shield. gonna miss bullet barrage though.
yes, normal only tho
I wouldn’t know the difference so I’ll probably be content
Damn thats bit useles, wanted to at least try some mechanics , guess i have to just watch a vid
I'm sorry you can't be a fighter pilot
At least they didn't completely gut your favorite weapon
i didnt want to be a twink stripper pilot, so mobile artillery battery it was.
I didn't even buy wilds
I can't stand the fact that they made him a twink stripper
I want to fly
I'll just play rise or worlds
At least I can still be a fighter pilot there
Hello, if any of you strapping protective lads are looking for a guild that focus on AOTC from Tuesday/Thursday 9-12 est dm me okay? Okay bye
Hey Jeef,I hear ANCIENT is recruiting folks for AOTC
try to name a character
taken
try to look up who has the name
inactive
i hate this guy
whoever he is
Newish player quesiton: Im testing colossus in Dorn and I am struggling to keep shield block up. I never have that issue with Thane. I know its more difficult to maintain, but there seem to be built in CD gaps, even with plenty of . Am I not doing something I should to reset the CD on SB?
I did this once
And I opened up a ticket and talked to a GM and they released the name so I could have it
lmao what
i wanna try
what should i say
they say they wont on the support page thooo
what is your haste, and are you talented in to ITF or HR?
You sure you're running the same shield block talents on the specs
oh and enduring defenses is necessary
Enduring defenses, ITF with enough haste or HR without, and SC on CD will keep your SB up, once our tier set arrives it'll be even easier to keep up with all the CDR on SC
Thanks, for replying
haste is 26%, 36% with ITF (unflasked)
Spec'd into ED
I think I need to keep SC up on CD, I tend to sdave it for the next pull in M+
Should I switch back to HR? I had it last seaosn but wanted to try ITF for the rage generaiton and DPS.
play hr
got it. I was wondering if that might be it.
You will have gaps of shield block uptime otherwise with low haste
what haste % can I switch at?
Like 35% ish
i didnt switch over until like 38% because I hate having the gaps
yeah 35 will still have minute gaps, like 1-2 sec every 45 seconds
thats 38% raw, without ITF and flasks?
yeah
Yes raw
got it. Thansk guys
its around 20k haste
much obliged
Its just easier to play hr
This is an alt and new so the gear is meh. Hoepfully with S2 gear and secondary stat bloat Ill get up there
Oh without a doubt
I mean the 8% haste for ITF is sexy af, so I weanted to try it
Stats were somewhat reduced this xpac, but based off S2 of DF we were something like 40/40/20/20
The haste from itf isnt always 8%
well in most M+ pulls it would be, right?
wait or was that was S3
I guess not on bosses
Yeah but bosses are what are more important to me
fair. So bosses would be 6-8% depending on ranged?
Well it's not a flat 8% either, it scales with your haste
huh? The haste buff is buffed by ytour haste? Is it multiplicative?
Yeah
ahhh....that makes sense
It gets more value the more haste you have
should have realzied that its not additive
nah, blame it on the tooltip
I'm a bit late to the party but did they plain removed the "dinars" from s2 ?
no
I mean they could put the correct number in the tooltip base don your current haste
heh... it IS flat 8%, but that means its value changes depending on your current haste
complicated
yeah, best not to overthink it
right
more haste = good
Well hopefully I can gear this guy up this tier to get to the tipping point. Its an alt and Im new so Im doing low-mid keys so it probably doesn't matter much
I didnt push up past 10 in S1
it was an investment to get to the good haste breakpoint in s1 but it'll be kinda trivial in s2
I went from 23k to 14k going from ilvl 630 ->640, can't always control it
It's a very cozy talent
ITF is good numbers, but HR lets you breathe
Especially if you're like me and can't help but press execute with 2 stacks of SB unpressed and 40 rage 
lol
I mean thats what sheild wall is for, right 🙂
more executes
Thanks again everyone.
wtf, these dps dont know how to play xD
thanks
what is the context
always used thane, but apparently colossus is the way now, when is the best time to use demolish?
When you want to demolish the fools!
Basically: Whenever it is ready to be used, on your first use you wont have auto 10 stacks, but you will get to 4-7 while gathering
You can decide if you want to hold things for 10
yeah i see i want to collect a bit first with claps and shield bashes first before i demolish, but i guess waiting for 10s is just too far
All about what you feel is needed and how quick things die. Not to mention you got demo and ava running and dont want to desync them from Demo too badly
Dont worry, Demo destroys the meters when used - even if it comes out late
Just try to snipe the pad

Mmm. Mm ämmä.nnä87
that's SO true
dodge
We survived the class tuning
WE LIVED
Not as spammy but big number on screen make brain happy
dodged a nerf, huge
patch notes released?
damn, 15% to exe for arms, that's kinda heavy
yeah, just more reason for arms to play col over slayer in raid now
patch of the colossus
Does that exe nerf affect us just like colo buff afected us ? Or are those different "styles' ?
Nawr
prolly a dup
its always a dup
I haven't paid any attention to exploits for a while, but with how many people have lost items and currency through warbands...
prot saved given the patch note released with no nerf on us ?
They still might add more , or do a bigger balance week into season based on more relevant data
prolly unlikely to do big balance mid rwf
Raise a Shield - Warrior block chance against nerfs is increased by 100% until Tier List are set to C-Tier.
trying the new talents, how should i use ip and revenge now
same as always
IP to spend rage and revenge is still a filler
Though I'm really confused why the sims think TC has a 1.5s CD
It can have low CD with unstoppable force
yeah but I have IO talented
Bloodlust?
Looks like the first 25 seconds
How's it look further down the line past 40?
I'm still seeing about a minute in a TC cast every second GCD
even outside of avatar
Surprised Pwar got away with no nerfs 😆
If you compare us to other tanks, we aint that out of this world
we are strong, but not that strong
Yea but other brings more utility than us (imho) while still same tanky a pretty comparable dmg
On live atm its just a giggle coz my 600 ilvl Pwar is doing same overall as my 640 ppals
Not gonna lie, that means that paladin is trash tier
Paladins shred DPS atm
Maybe they trying experimental builds, or are semi AFK
but there is no way Ret loses to Pwarr on overall DPS
That's overall in a +10
Ye, that tells us they aint trying
or they just bad
Last time I trollolol game with ret, they did closer to 2.5m, and that was trololol
Not sure why you are linking sims
You where guessing sims so I sent them
Fair fair
Still, careful doing that much dps, ppl gonna screenshot it and post it without critical thinking on the forums and cry
"Omg opop nerf nerf"
ignoring the DPS clearly played...
suboptimaly
to be nice
Thats why blizz doesnt read forums
I think bliz actually go over stats not forums
If there is enough outcry, they notice, and they take action
Like ye we are strong but not that strong to outdps a ret ..
We've been crying about Brew bring “bad” for agers but they keep getting nerfed lol
Brew is one of the best raid tanks
If ya talking m+, sure
So the point is kinda moot
By "we" you mean like 7 people playing it ? Xd
But everyone complaining about Pwarrior being stronger than DPS players - now that, that will cause a stirr
Bruse some egos
Yeah that's what I meant 😆😆
and the shitstorm will be unreal
Nah, pwar is stronger than bad dps
I mean, we out DPSd bad dps before the buffs - now it just makes it so much easier
We shall see
I just hope blizz dont overreact
Yea thats all we can do
Question: the ignore pain buff icon (top right of screen) shows a number on the icon. the number seems completely unrelated to the damage left to be ignored. What's the number?
the duration?
Its % of its max cap or something like that
whats the new spec were supposed to be usin
Vengeance
i thought prot was doing some damage
% of IP cap
colossus is doing the most damage but both are fine
do you have a link to the build by chance?
It’s in the guides linked in the faq channel
ty
Different options for different situations
That give any feedback on how to improve play? We aim for that number to be higher?
Nah
Ty ty
@strong forum does the Vioent outburst change =more or less?
Felt like I’m getting them quicker but maybe not
You're actually getting them ~5% less
Ahh yep
Cuz it requires now 250 rage instead of 240
What raid build would we run there is 2 exacute and Punsher
Whatever you prefer. Thane has the stronger execute and safer punish
Colossus has muuuch stronger cleave and burst
I'm rocking colossus but wanna know if Punish or execute
But if any work then sweet
Any work
If you're confident, just rock execute
Especially on normal/hc just fullsend execute
Done and done tyty wanna pop off dps anyway
Only reason I wanna play War is the dps
Thanks 😆
Tbf, other tanks will absolutely crank aswell. People have just been overhyping as of late cuz it was "hidden"
(it wasn't hidden they just never tested the other hero tree)
Atm (with out S2 Set) my Pala (640) dose as much overall dps as my 610 Pwar
And its easier

That doesn't make any sense
Pallys have been doing north of 1.5mil Pre-buff already
Don't know man 🤷
Eh, I did 1.6mil in GB Pre-buff already xdd
Your dps players just suck
Its just me being bad don't know I'm not amazing obly 3k ishh
Score says nothing about player skill
Oof
Nice!
My condolences
Why thank you Ima tank now
i hit 3k and proudly know im bad and got lucky runs
does it really have a stronger execute build?
I played Aug a bit in Alt raids 6/8M and my god...
It's so braindead boring
Infinite mobility, ranged, infinite defensive cds...
Yes cuz thane gets +25% execute dmg and has higher rage gen
Yes yes it is I hated Using a Sheet to min max ERT note telling me whome to buff and where hit rank 400 world
Colossus doesn't get stacks from execute anymore
But its so not real
hm so for pure single target thane execute might be my choice then
Phone on 8% so good luck peeps, time for bed so I can wake up early to blast more mh:wilds
Probably ye, im recommending thane for one armed bandit and mugzee as both are 40% burns and pure ST

i would be doing that but i don't think my pc could run it lol
Colossus for first 5, Thane for last 3
@strong forum you said all tanks are “close” in DPS before Yesh? Why is there “sims” saying Pwar dose 2m ST? 🤷 where rest of the dps are close to 1.6m? Is it coz of Cheese?
Depending on how gallywix plays
Cuz the Sims you saw are not even remotely correct
🙂
They were made before any tank, besides prot, had their tierset implemented and APL adjusted
vdh apl is super out of date
Ah sweet thanks we got any new
Ones then?
Nothing public
Roger APL not been fixed yet sounds good
Only tank that isn't around 2mil mark is brew iirc
Brew legit undertuned
Rest is a-o-k
both @midnight flame and @slim zinc have been too busy to work on vdh apl from what i understand
Makes sense though brew is hella bad fun as fk spec I love it but sad that dps is low always been its “nesh”
Neche
Niche*
niche
my favorite
Yesh can't spell For shit dyslexic
yet you spelled dyslexic right
/j
@strong forum thank you for the info mate
Yes coz I've had to spell it ALOT over the last 28 years 😆
damn i thought the circlet got replaced by heroic rings
do i need to go back and do the island?
still puzzled by this ngl
island is easy and quick
that is weird
arent the different gems locked behind weekly rotations
no
they cvhanged that right away
the bosses rotate between the 3 they each drop
you can get all of them prolly in less than an hour
what abt the ring ilvl tho
you can rock it out in 30 minutes
how do
like whats "the quests"
the purple triangle ones, right
you gotta follow the breadcrumb quests that take you there
Yeah vdh has big potential
The apl is just really bad atm
And I'm dumb so idk how to fix it
prot war untouched in class changes? oi we good
may have found a bug with the sim spell data
Unsure what else could be going on at this point
Yeah I was just about to write a wall of text basically saying "I dunno lol"
Where exactly does the APL pull it's spell data from anyway?
Like the last documented change I could find for TC was in October
So I doubt that's the problem but my brain is shrugging
looks like it is also on the bis sim profile in the spreadsheet
I wonder how long this has been a thing.
spell data is pulled from game but there could be something fucky going on otherwise cause obviously in game we're not seeing this ~2s cd on tclap. Hmm
whats max ring ilvl
658
i ran out of triangles again
ok
do the world quest
to trigger the ability to phase to storm mode
then a new one will appear
that asks you to go in
this 1?
and just literally hop in a mech
ya
you can just kill rares or the big bosses or the weekly quest to get a ton of progress
So we running Windsinger's instead of Legendary?
i did it
woo!
yeah, think theres a couple mounts too
start working on prismatic snapdragon now
its time gated
ooo
i think wowheadx has a page on it
i dont think that one is time gated. haven't looked into it
can you send me the sim?
curious
yeah your shits chopped as fuck
yea your shits chopped as fuck for real
only thing i can think of is that io is maybe copying effects of unstoppable force aswell as its own
but doubt
not an isolated thing, happening on others sims and live sims too, fwiw
I imagine if you sim your prot warrior it'll have similar tc use
someone else brought this up. i just tested it with the simc profile nome created to see if it was happening elsewhere
🤷♂️ people who have an answer or a fix are prolly bedge rn guess we wait and find out whats up

has thunderclap been baseline for us?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6hShmAExqUQkcCNC8yz71J not seeing tclap cast without tclap talented. ig that's a relief at least, but doesn't get an answer
so the effect of UF perma applied?
we should all band together and murder nome for this
but do it old school
where like we bait ravens into picking him to death
supposedly
but also
hes not sure
idk
maybe
but just looking @ what cd should be & what it is
its bout 50%
no theyre gonna nerf pwar again
True. Sadly 😥
Looks like the sim wizards fixed it @cyan bronze @jagged gust
I imagine our rage and dps simmed values will go down a lil but prolly nothin catastrophic. Unless... Maybe colossus now runs clapless rendless for AoE?
Do we know the currant tank sims for dps ?
The 'unintentional' buffs that prot got from the arms buffs that ive heard about, are they still in and are we thinking theyre gonna be sticking around?
still in
probably get fixed eventually, not a huge deal
very small nerf if it goes through
Ah yeah cool any links?
All tanks Quite close? Apart from monk
Roger
Yesh okey fair not as wild over the top like what people think Pwar that is ?
Roger roger
Very keen to see what tank is the top dog 🐶 dps size and happy that the “hype” is kinds blow up for Pwar doing Giga chad dps
yo, i kinda struggled to keep Sb uptime with into the fray, is that top be expected or just bad play by me
In m+ you should still have 80%+ up-time with ED and Bulwark.
Do you have abnormally low haste?
@strong forum tell bmj that he stinks af
real
31ish i think
33 actually
well prolly just missplay, first time i rly ran into the fray
played the other talent all of s1 so i was just used to comfiness i guess
Jeah,at that haste level it should be fine. Probably just takes some time to get used to.
You can still play HR if it makes you feel more comfortable,but I'd advise to get used to itf.
How should i use Spell Block in m+? On CD when pulling pack? Should I have a WA to warn me?
just did first key as tank. felt abit weird as used to spam IP etc i found myself ragestarved cause keep forget and spam it . xD
was playing MT even
whenever magic damage happens its good





Surely Pwarr must be nerfed
