on 2nd I run right and repeat
First boss of cinder is easy
I don't like the pwar changes ngl
Healer needs to plant feet and heal
Oh? Not a fan of gigantic on-use CD?
The healer CANNOT do beer runs
goated advice yup
Disc has literally no problem healing 1st boss. Other healers depend on range etc
1st boss isn't the dangerous one
IPA is
IPA 
IPA? Not done it on a 10 yet - what is the problem?

Yeah
First boss similar
You skip the corner packs, and ^ that
On hallways
I personally just do not accept cinderbrew as a real key
yo lads, most of the stuff ive tanked was pretty ez, but first priory bleed just dicks me down hard, how do you guys handle that?
I find the 3rd boss sucks more the bee dude
Man, even stackin Shield Wall + Spell Reflect and sometimes even Demo Shout for Thunder Punch, it still trucks super hard
It’s the only damage in that fight for you tho
Yeah
He does like nothing else
Still trucks, tho
I did an 8 and it was sketchy AF
Just don’t get one shot and you’re cruising
More stamina down the line will definitely make it more cushy
It will, till you go up some key levels and are back to start
true lul
anyone know if 2peice procs immovable objects Avatar?
unfortunately not
ist it normal revenge is on 2nd place in dmg meter with colossos in m+
if im playing colossus is it normal to have a small amt of downtime on shield block or am I playing wrong
you need more haste
that doesn't math
Anybody know a rough % of the 2pc proc rate? or if it has a internal CD
into the fray
rgr ty
run HR or a haste flask for now
not a great start to the season, true suffering
thats kinda low
it's really low
tbf its offspec gear so I have a ton of mastery
usually a good neck and ring will fix it
i have crap haste myself, but thats cause i haven't gotten any new s2 gear with haste
target cinderbrew for neck and top for ring (bloodbath signet)
you can also craft 629 haste/crit stuff for basically free
you want like 17/18k before you dont run into block downtime
12k is nowhere near enough
Hey, which emblishments do we want to upgrade? I'm currently on linings, but just saw that quite a few people upgraded their weapon + asendance.
embellishments are very much a joke, a lot of people will opt to craft weapon/shield early
so ascendance for raid is alright, but embellishs dont scale with ilvl
so go big ilvl upgrades first
thanks 🙂
aka weaon/shield
you guys got a spell reflect weakaura? torkal's weakaura isnt working which is sad cause i've been using it the whole s1
Afaik that is the only spell reflect WA. Torkal is working on getting it updated.
damn sadge ok ty hopefully it gets updated soon, really a good weakaura kudos to him
dont need a WA when they nerf every spell reflect 

literally
0 spell reflects
fucking rename it spell reduction already
it LITERALLY cant reflect anything
yeah thats the only saving grace
and ML last boss
my favourite is just "thunder PUNCH" which is a physical PUNCH is not blockable
yall about to rile me up again

I should be able to reflect any spell that targets me
just make it do reduced damage back to the mob if that's such a big bad thing for us to do
name another ability in the game where you need to have a spreadsheet open to know when to press it
garbage design
100% this...such bullshit, what's even the point of the ability at this point if they keep removing everything
Good compromise
if they don't want dmg to be our utility they could give us real utility :p
i think druid would really need it
fury of the ancients
oh wait thats evoker lust
at least i won't have to type LUST while im doing other things

honestly paladin really needs lust
How much do y'all intervene? I feel like I could put that talent elsewhere...
I commented on this before, Nome, we live in a post Gen 4 Pokemon world, that's a special attack, not a physical attack
intervene if your a good boy
i mean you can use it to reposition too
but if you not pressing it
Isn’t gen 4 the one that made thunder punch scale with regular attack and not special like it used to? Really this is Pokémon’s fault.
it is, yes
this man's breaking my gaslighting smh
Since Gen 4 decided splitting move scaling based on type was silly, so did it by individual move
Honestly good change though
absolutely necessary for the health of the game
And gave them more actual freedom for mons, too
it is just me or m+ scoring is completely cooked?
i got score for a timed key like i depleted it
despite the fact that i timed the key with around 3 min under
seaforium is giga
strenght and around 50% uptime with high crit
very good feedback loop with decent crit
is that bloodmallet? i can't see it updated

can someone help me figure out why this execute wa for jugg execute builds isn't working?
It is
would the effect of heroic titan of industry make up for the ~10 ilvls lost from raw stats on a crafted shield option? guild wants to send upgrades/crafts and push for aotc/early mythic next week, so getting a heroic shield wouldn't be an impossibility. just want to make sure i'm not wasting crests. i think it'd definitely be worse defensively and i just need to sim it for dmg?
sims seem to favor gilded craft by a decent chunk fwiw so i guess that answers my own question
we're not allowed to have fun, pally get broken interactions time and time again, we get fixed within weeks
double checking, but mythic crafted will be better than heroic gally shield right?
Ilvl on shield always
am i missing something, when i go to BM its S1 items still
shit is easy
its only hard if dps cant do the bees
ive only done an 8 there so i cant say for 9 or 10
didnt feel like much of a difference
either way when i mentioned IPA i meant overall group damage not specifically tank
IPA is not difficult to tank
just gotta move the boss thats it
damnit
I logged off last night at like 42 in NA
back over 50 😦
nice nice
Honestly kinda hyped for this native support
yeah apb posted it
earlier
with screenshots
looks decent
very good for WoW to implement these
i might finally be able to get rid of was for my ui if they do a good job on that
its a good place for them to start farming real W's too
UI has always been a massive shortcoming of base game
agreed
plus added benefit of having them native is they're theoretically better optimized as well, so performance may improve vs base+addon
gotta also love that the current only comment is someone asking for a NE pally...
any1 got spell reflect wa for new udngs?
Of course, gotta whine somehow
its a sport at this point
i'm no stranger to complaining, but time and place... lmao
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yea, just doesnt work for most things 🙂
Should we just drop the talent?
can you spell reflect cinderblast?
zugzug
i did it
thats hot
wtf is this
a cloak that's been around since BFA
its a cloak with full stat budget on vers
worth using?, sucks no haste or crit on it
dogshit
thanks, thats what I was looking for
quick question is thane build still viable? and why does matority go colossul?
colossus is way more dmg
I use thane, colo is pumping dmg
thane is still perfectly fine
Thane is doing fine for me, i prefer it
im trying colo, but somehow i feel like im loseing that more surviabillity xD
just have to be a bit more thoughtful with your rage spending
true true
Healer problem imo.
🤣
always
crap?
nope
I play both. Mostly colo right now but sometimes I'm just feeling thane.
guys do we break 4p for 2p or do we wait for 4p ?
I broke my 4p for 0 just bcs of ilvl , go for 2p if u can
does anyone know if gaols gets enrage if all walls are destroyed before they die? HC mugzee
are folks stepping out and back in for spell reflect value on kultharok?
i gotta get my spell reflect hits where i can
nome you around?
do you recommend doing the 1h trick with fury smf or just saving for a 2h
idk if it works for fury
err crafting, sorry, not doing'
first boss in priory is not ok
25% of the damage in the entire dungeon is taken during first boss kekw
i feel like both cinderbrew and priory are grossly overtuned
lads i got a question i just got the bracers from workshop and idk if they are worth it
i cleared all my m0 this week but im only 7/8 on the vault, im assuming this is a bug, anyone else has experienced this?
cant even tell wich one was "not done"
open your calender and mouse over next weeks reset day, it tells you what ones you've did
see if theyre all listed as being done or not
Does /raidinfo still show all your lockouts too?
hmm that seems plausible
how do i properly use demolish?
Anyone know when us prot warriors switch out items from last seasons set?
Do we wait for atleast 2 set of S2?
yea
np
we using radiant power or Depths?
@strong forum or anyone else know how to do this?
anyone got a decent WA for showing if you're in combat with stuff that doesn't have rend on it
not sure if that's something we can even really do
just to know when we're actually meant to be hitting TC
damn look at all these nerfs in m+
especially first boss in priory third boss in floodgate last boss in floodgate
are the on use wrists for prot from mechagon any good?
radiant for M+, depths for raid
if you do both, just go depths
same as s1
im sure you can do a plater filter for it
true
Priory first boss nerfs 
yes
yes
its the best trinket from M+
any news on working spell reflect wa?
I guess any s1 aura can work, just need to update spell IDs list
does dual wield specialization stack with the MS blashphemite?
sorry that was the wrong name of the talent, meant fast footwork
oh it doesnt
ah damn
Shoot so I’ve been inting for months. Do I swap to culminating or drop fast footwork?
has these M+ nerfs gone live yet? or hotfix later today still
all i wanted was the 10% health nerf lol
even with the whole group doing 2m+ overall fights were still way to damn long
Agreed
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XJTM8zPHLftYgb7y?fight=last&type=damage-done i'm fucking blasting jesus
Except I'm the only one doing 2m+ DPS in my groups 😦
wait that was rank 1 in rookery? no shot
m+ parse% numbers always look funky, not sure why
hello, does anyone have a working weakaura for spell reflection ?
zugzugzug
My jealousy is intense, run the place at 6-7 like ten times now.
Just a cinderbrew +9
my guildies are asking what hacks im using xD
Great pad dungeon
ye
But its easy to do that damage in some other dungeons too
Also had 2.6M in priory and rookery
Had a 2.5m run in priory too, people hating on that place, but if you can keep the casters in check it's a fuckin blast
Its by far the worst dungeon
Unplayable for pwar at higher levels
Well, it was until nerfs
No shot, boss design in cinderbrew is garbage
First boss bleed is fucking horrible
But I dont get how people struggle in cinderbrew ngl
Every boss is so easy
In a late night guy, so my usual team is still stuck in raid while it's new, cannot find pug dps with brain cells
That's because DPS kills braincells
I'm curious as to why PWAR is so underrepresented right now? Looks like.. 2.3%? I don't think that accurately reflects how strong we are, at least not unless we just fall off a cliff 9+ (only up to 7-8 at the moment, don't judge me 😭 )
Granted, that's pre-nerf. I might be able to go a bit higher now. 
prot isn't the best tank rn
according to tier lists anyway
But I've been doing high delves and barely take any damage
survival isn't the issue for any tank at the moment, and damage is close enough, as well
So without any other info, I'm kneejerk guessing most people in M+ are going for BDK, Pala, and their tanks they're raiding with
Because BDK is just generally popular among most tank players, Pala because it has the perception of being the best for keeping the party alive, and the last because
well, hopefully that doesn't need explaining
Pwar will struggle at some point but we are not close yet
As a whole, tank players also don't like playing Prot War, since they just copy what streamers do, and most major tank streamers don't like Prot War
Well I love prot warrior and I ain't no FotM Andy.
ZUG ZUG
DK mobility is just so trash tho. gimme a sword and shield any day
Yeah, but you can't argue that they have some of the most agency when it comes to their own survival due to Death Strike mechanics, even after changes
yeah, self sustain covers for a bad healer in lower key for sure
Every tank is self-sufficient outside of telegraphed "Tank has bad time" moments, but BDK just simply can struggle past some of those, even
I don't "get" VDH, haven't been able to get into the playstyle. Kinda a bummer to see VDH on top again after the last two seasons of DF.
you don't even need a healer in some higher keys
Someone on the design team is an Illidan fangirl.
In most pulls yes
There are some pulls where you sadly need a healer
ye
There's not a tank that won't have that issue except sometimes BDK
and we even have to say sometimes now
(Farewell, the times when BDK could simply last forever through stacking dots)
What makes vdh so good ? Why is every streamer rating them S tier?
assume it's better self-sustain/agency
and comparable damage
cuz it buffs magic dmg
and they got decently buffed whereas pally got slightly nerfed
and it brings aoe silence
we can AoE silence with challenging shout fwiw
obvi you know that but
i feel like somie people don't
wait what? TIL we have aoe silence
That's cuz it sucks
gotta spec it and it's a tough node but good for some things
i think it's good /shrug
helps first pull of workshop
You can't pre-set it, like you can VDH, or catach some casts and prevent others
If they're not casting when you send it, it does fuck all
ah i see, yeah a bit less useful then agree
VDH sigil is an actual silence, so it'll just work
it's a 4s silence and our interrupt locks for 6s fwiw
there are def some upsides
having it go insta is cooler in a lot of ways than having to wait for sigil
i play both classes, there are some advantages to the warr talent
yeah and at the top end I can see how sigil is way preferred
It interrupts
all i'm saying is we have comparable utility that some folks may be surprised by
Rather, it's not a blanket silence like VDH
ah yeah the spellschool shit
is frustrating when you stop a cast for mob to just start a new cast
It's literally not a silence, and is an aoe interrupt. On top of that, because of that, it only affects a single spell school, like interrupts. While silences stop everything.
If you want to compare utility, that's fine, but you need to be careful to not peddle misinformation to do so
We have a lot of utility, as we bring some of the most hard stops available to a tank spec. With most builds, you already have Shockwave, Storm Bolt, and even Shield Charge available as hard stops.
You can even add in Int Shout if you want to grab that, as well, even though it's target capped
Our main utility problem is that system changes have directly hurt hard stops by making them do very little; most mobs and casts will just instantly recast
castable at range is also big for sigil
for sure
TIL i'm a misinformation peddler for deigning to use "interrupt" and "silence" interchangably
i'll turn in my warr card at the exit
no
being wrong about things is the main thing you need
to qualify as warrior
It is an important distinction, because they're different mechanics.
There's no reason to be mad or anything about it; just fix it in the future. It hurts people's ability to play the spec well and understand the game to do so.
Peddling it as an AOE silence gets people to think it's an AOE silence, which prevents it from becoming an AOE silence, which would be pretty handy
aoe kicking 4 mobs out of a consecration in priory? yessir
I think it's really good for workshop pull 1, likely decent in priory as well
good for this affix as well
Easier to grab as Thane, but it's an option you can take, especially since our hard CCs don't do so good no more
Matta giving up damage just for disrupting smh
They're both similar, but Colo does more damage
noooo i'm having fun on colossus i just strted playing it
Thane is slightly tankier, but with how that is to evaluate, we don't really know by how much
i like colossus now because i like big dps numbers
I will have you know I am actually an attorney IRL, and chortling to myself because y'all jumping down my throat for using inexact language exactly how I would in a contract or some shit
its easier to grab as colossus
cuz you dont give up anything but a bit of revenge dmg
it is, but muh damage
oh i was dropping enduring defense for it
that's probably trolling without tier set
It hurts more emotionally to pick up as Colo than Thane
Enduring affects all sources of SB, so that's a never drop unless you're damage parsing
for me it's more like, colossus I sometimes just end up with absolutely no rage and no way to get it when I need to pop some defensives, especially in single or double target
thane I always feel like I can avatar and stomp for some juice
and cd on stomp higher/faster
so drop show of force instead? i guess
i'm not dying in 10s without enduring but
probably trolling to play without it
you just gotta adjust your mental model of when to IP with colossus
I wager you'd drop either TL or Instigate as Thane, but I haven't thought about Thane trees too hard and what casts Thane gets in S2
@strong forum am i right or am i dum
I dropped instigate on colossus but you definitely feel it
I'm assuming S2 tier, as well, for the record
ig thane could drop instigate ye
You definitely don't want to drop instigate, since it gives a lot of rage over time; the only realistic choice is SoF, since it's just damage
but like i said, muh damage
i cut in at a funny time
don't drop instigate as colo in comparison to sof
disrupting shout has rarely any application
pretend it doesnt exist and your life will be of better
I just want it to be an actual aoe silence
It wouldn't make much sense thematically, but it'd be a much nicer pickup
can you link me this WA?
Good Evening! I got some upgrades from doing dungs etc and it is simming replacing my 4pc set and the result is increasing DPS by 75,141. Maybe cause the ilevel has such a huge difference for each pc? Edit: its an avg of 15-20
15-20 overall item levels is massive lol
ah ok, I wanted to follow what Nom said with the 4pc 2pc 2pc but I think mine were just bad lol
Yeah that’s more aimed at people who were pretty much geared out in s1
ooo ok, thank you!
anyone have a Light's Devotion WA?
As prot I fully replaced my tierset now with basic 649-655 non-tier
Mine was around 610 replacing with 635 I think lol
i didnt do much S1
any idea why it would sim so much better without the tier? maybe i have the wrong settings
S1 tier not that strong, 25 ilvls very strong, that’s all there is to it
Cuz the s1 tierset is generally awful
It's a 2 time conditional with extremely minor gain
5% SS dmg if it was reset 
10% revenge/tc dmg for 8 sec if SS crit

That's like almost 1% dmg gain!!
would you just say screw it and pop on 645 gear
cuz i got lot of 645
screw it im just gonna do that
So the nerfs today, effectively would that mean that keys will feel like a level lower now? About that?
how do i get rid of the red circles in the water in flood gate?
I know this is still a lot wasted but so much better than I used to be. Over 1k+ lol
Thank you for this info ❤️
same, and it was a considerable dps + stam gain
yeah I did and it was good
And I had 639 in every tier slot for the most part
yeah feels good to me too
mightve been asked but havent looked in here in quite a few days; when is it worth for us to break season 1 tier set? is it worth even for just ilvl upgrades?
yes
actually though..?
right but like hero chest and hero legs worth breaking 4 set for?
idk how many times i have to say yes
it just feels like bait
then why ask the question
lmaol
Sim it and the sim will say “yes”
yeah thats what made me want to ask the question cuz it is telling me to swap.. appreciate the inpuit
its because the S1 set is just really not good
is it worth to wear 636 embellishment (crit lining) wrist/tail instead of 652/655 pieces?
655 will just make your more tanky through armor, str and stamina - so I would just go for that. Crit lining might be optimal DPS, that would be a sim question, but more mainstats just will be my go-to just make life easier
ahhhh okay that makes sense
0 warrior tier pieces from normal
0 dropped
we're doing heroic tomorrow
feelsbadman
Do some m+, I will send you some of my loot luck
i mean if only i could get another hero slot
i have some hero gloves at least
not even sure if i should burn both cata charges
I wouldn't, I would save them for the overtime Mythic gear from Vault upgrades
HC gear you will prob just get from the raid this or next week either way
so pretty meh

90% of my catalyst uses last season were for transmogs
season 1 tier suck ass no one will miss it
i already forgot wat it did
another season, another me ripping aggro off of pretty much every pug tank
some things never change
Crazy they nerfing m+ actually
Thought this was probs the easiest of the last 2 expacs
lmao wasn't dfs3 and dfs4 super easy?
are dk's doing bad damage these days or what? im doubling the other tanks dam right now
in m+ or raid? either way not really
heroic raid
can anyone show me the stats on ToP and ML shields since wowhead is ass to scale up to good levels? nvm i got the filters from nome's guide
or maybe im just stupid
oh
they added an M+ level
nice
ok this does nothing
crafting wep is the way to go right?
awe
we've never gone crafted weapon first
big dam no?
sure but the other slots are better
if youre not likely to get a myth weapon then go for it, but not having a myth shield can hurt you pushing keys
or progging mythic
all 3 slots are important so its entirely up to you
just simply craft a weapon shield
true
Swap racv for it
Anodized bracers are doodoo?
hello tanks ! for this trinket what dose it mean "increase vere's effectiveness " and do i need to have more vers to make it better ? currently have 8%/4% vers :/
It’s not referring to Versatility, don’t worry
It’s just flavor stuff — like it’s talking about verses of a poem
yeaaah i read it wrong, i do need more vers than that tho right ? having hard time on +7 s with tyranical
i imagine i will have more trouble with foritifed @_@
Nah, stat spread isn’t that important, a lot of people gear haste + crit and do just fine
yeaaah ... i just gotta get gud ._.
Most of your survival comes from play. If you do have issues, just getting ilvl at all is the biggest gain gear wise. Optimizing secondaries is miniscule in comparison
Also, for gear, shield ilvl is the most impactful as the only source of block value
play >> ilvl >>>>>>> stat optimization
100% i'm gradually getting better at surviving as i learn the dungeons, but first boss priory of sacred flame i just couldn't servive that, and trash pulls in floodgate
i'm ashamed to say i even changed to the last mid talent the one that procs on dropping health, and yet i couldn't survive the bleeds
so i thought the trinket would help me with that
but halas, it was i who was the estupido
First boss priory is a bad time, since it's one of the few times where there's both tank damage and party damage going out
they're supposed to, like, not do that
It's still possible to go through since it's not "the tank is fucking dying" tank damage like other tank heal checks,
They just did some big nerfs, not sure when they went in
But it'll absolutely pressure healers and tanks who aren't fully ready
They were hotfixes iirc so already
i tried like 3 hours ago
then gave up and went back to finishing all 6 timed
once i got the trinket from a +6
it’s week 1 and this season we’re more reliant on healers in some situations than last season
everyone’s learning the dungeons and gearing still, everything will get easier
The problem with that before hotfixes is the party also often needed healing at the same point
depends on the lieutenant you leave alive ofc, since some do more damage on tank
dps players take at least 30 wipes to a boss before they learn when to pop defensives
if these changes were live before i tried floodgate and priory, i'm sad
Well your supposed to killl all the ppl first so there arent 2 of them
well yes
that should be expected
if you don't, you mega die now
They buffed the group buff iirc if there's more than just one during PTR
yeah i always go left and leave the little mounted dude with the boss
So there should be boss + 1 lieu, generally one of the ones with the long CC casts since Shaynemail is annoying to not pull; you'll generally go right because it's the easiest to deal with as a whole
And u can sr cinderblast
^^^
i will try that then
Left side puts extra tank damage on, as a heads up
not so scared to try again now that i have a new strat
thank you i appreciate you both
have a good day
Also, going right makes the group damage avoidable instead of unavoidable
Just domt listen to pugs i was in a 7 where the healer refused to go right
that healer is crazy
i listned to quazi T_T
The only thing I don't like going right is the trash around there pats more iirc
Can you still get a tier token for each
2000 M+
Heroic Galli Kill
1600 rating
U get a catalyst charge now
What do people consider the best defensive trinkets for this season?
I'm only a part time tank so my priority is making sure I don't die.
Keen to see people suggestions from m+/delves as well as raid
you can also see the grading for trinkets on wowhead here: https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/bis-gear
Is there a decent prot warrior that streams m+ and/or raid just to get a feel of what some smarter players are doing?
Mainly things like gathering pulls and movement in new content
Nome probably. Idk when he streams tho
touchpadwarrior is pretty good and does m+ a lot.
Hey guys are the weird bracers from mechegon any good?
those bracers suck
I simmed them super low @wooden widget no clue how good they are defensively, but back in the day no one used them.
Just timed first 10 TOP, it's nice when a group is solid and blast through stuff. Prot feels really good right now.
When playing colossus is it worth unbinding ip to ss? Im finding myself extremely rage starved in some pulls
you're
you're doing it the wrong way
you throw SS on your IP bind so that you snipe shield slam resets from time to time when you press IP
you attach nothing to your SS bind
That… makes so much more sense
Does demo shout also generate threat?
Im struggling to build threat on pulls properly
Playing colossus
It used to way back in the day, it may even do so now
it is not at all a meaningful amount if so, like an auto from a mage will outpace it
You should almost always have access to some CD or other at the start of a pull as Colo between Rav (assuming new tier yet to be obtained), Shield Charge, Demolish, and even just slamming revenge since it does so much damage as Colo
You can fill for times you don't have those with an AOE taunt use
If people are pulling aggro while you're gathering, really, that's on them
if their tank flying off in a direction is not a signal of "I don't really have aggro", they're the type of person who would have been eaten by a bear were it not for modern convenience
Is the opener on wowhead still true for aoe opener?
Our rotation as a whole doesn't vary too much in ST or AOE due to SS being so important (you can opt to send revenge over TC in AOE as Colo as the only real notable change), so yeah
You'll throw ravager once you're ready to settle down
Do you still want to use tc for aoe rend or is revenge deepwounds just better
So say you're gathering three packs:
3
1 2
You'd aggro 1+2 somehow, and ravager on 3, dragging them into there
You still use TC as colo in AOE since it applies rend,
But if you're optimizing like that, you mostly only use TC to catch you up on rage if you get low or to reapply rend
Colo buffs revenge a large amount, particularly in AOE, so you're heavily incentivized to press it in that way
You can still be just fine following the standard SS > TC > Revenge once you've gotten aggro, though
Yea im still juggling when to use ip over revenge, a stacked ip doesnt feel that amazing over just doing damage
In large scale AOE, Colo sustains itself off of the revenge damage; with brutal vit, that actually fuels your IPs, as well
Since you're spending rage to get outbursts, which also apply IP when used
So you're still going to have IP if you don't press it; your prio is to always ensure you have no dead GCDs by having enough rage to keep sending Revenge, allowing you to get more SS off. That'll end up giving you more IP over time, as well
If you're looking for WA stuff, I do recommend just hijacking at least the logic behind Nomeratur's weakauras
It's even adjustable between Thane and Colo and pretty much walks you through what buttons to press and when
All you need to do is actually manage your rage at that point
did someone already update the spellreflection WA? seems like it doesnt get loaded correctly
Anyone remember what the good Keystonetimer weakaura is called ?
m+ timer
Prot is actually cranking, especially Colossus. Playing itf with low haste feels rough though
Yeah, I am still playing HR over ITF just because my haste sucks with the gear I have been getting
Might not be the right call, but having to think about when to let Shield Block drops doesn't sound like zug or zug.
Its supposed to be the play?
I really wish execute still gave colossus might stacks
It'd be the perfect hero talent tree
I like leaping into 3, charging back to 2, Revenge, Charge to 1, all other AoE stuff.
Tome of Light's Devotion when i use this tr at 50??? only
Hello how do i deal with the corridor creeper in darkflame cleft?
You can spellblock, leap, wall, spell reflect. Hope for parry’s hehe. also move him away from dead corpses cause every dead corpse nearby is 10% damage increase
i will try thank you for the answer
Shield slam damage are coming from shield and demolish from weapon ?
how feel about wrists with use'
Crafted gear count for crest discount?
How do ppl play the Creepers in the last part of DFC? Making sure they're not buffed is easy, but the dot still slams like a truck above 10 stacks
i did come back to a +8, went right side it was a lot easier for first boss, timed it and got rewarded with the same trinket + leech lol, thank you again for help you and @jagged pier
On Droptimizer it is showing me as the Knuckles being by far the strongest 1h weapon and raid upgrade in general), but in the BIS section of the guide it is not there (or for the Puzzling Cartel Chips later in the season). Is dropping the secondary stat just not worth it or is there something else going on?
Corpses give a damage buff
In top first boss who is best to kill first ?
dmg buff or not, the dot slaps - especially with the double pack(s)
Why do I get rejected from 6er/7er keys with ilvl 642? Could't get into 20+ groups straight.
Because you’re not a vdh
could be your server too
Morning all. How friendly is prot warrior for a newbie ( long time tank, first playing warrior)
are we using tome of lights devotion for the crit portion?
in raid yer
it's pretty easy, you can take a bunch of extra defensive talents if you suck and die a lot
but then transition to playing more aggro
there are a few noob traps but mostly it's pretty common sense
Thank ya!
I don't apply. I do my own keys always, so I don't get frustrated because I'm not a vdh or pally
What server? I've had no issues getting 8s and 9s at 634 ill. The tank drought is real lol
At what point would it be worth breaking my s1 4 piece tier set for some big non-tier s2 upgrades in tier slots?
From s1 2 of my Tier pieces are 6/6 Myth (639) and 2 are 4/6 Hero (619) pieces. I have a few s2 (non-Tier) Champion and Hero pieces I could put on (e.g. new s2 Legs could go to 658 easily)
You sim until off pieces provide more dps. There is no other answer. Make sure you dont waste crests upgrading low heroic path or something, upgrading to 645 uses trash crests that can be thrown at basically anything
are Mecagon wrists any good?
Naah near 1800 now did some 6 and 7 keys.
Got instant invites in S1 every time
Arthas
That's a good question. I would bet it's trash but I'm no scientist
Don't know if it's been mentioned but last boss in ToP, her Reaping scythe ability. Did they intentionally change it to not trigger spell reflect? We had some good damage on that fight in SL
I bet this was mit intended in SL
anyone know where i can get a serviceable shield if i am arms but off tanking is it worth just using first spark to craft one shince shield is so important
how much faith should I put in bloodmallet for trinkets?
Sim ya selg
just for a general rule to farm for
kk
What trinkets do we want for M+
I am seeing all of the top performers run colossus, is it because of the extra DMG maybe?
At what point/ilvl do we replace the old mythic tier with new gear/tier?
first boss prio with the ember guy is rough. any tips?
can I reflect his judgement or something?
Nop
Just get healed
That fight is extremely healer dependant
Use your SWs for overlaps, tell healer to dispel you 0.1 of judgement
If u have competent players at interrupting stuff, you can always go right and face boss + caster. So it's like zero damage if you do that if I remember well.
What would you say is better to use, a 639 sacbrood or 525 signet from priory? Thinking that the haste and strength helps a lot to survive
So you guys messing around with Colossus or is everyone still playing Thane?
pretty much everyones playing colossus
wtf is this
this trinket pretty garbage right? no pun intended
is 1.9 mil damage even any good on a 2 min cd
and gotta wait 10 sec for the shit to fall down lol
ehhhhhh
what a shit hero item to get
do we put loot specification on fury, even in m+?
reference this post regarding loot spec: #protection message
it basically applies to m+ or any content really and vault of course
Yes sir this is literal garbage
unlucky
Does anybody know a Working Version of this wa for s2 ?
did a Thane key today (forgot to switch away from Raidspec KEKW) and it was fine too
hello dear prot pals: 1 question: why does the colossus raid st/cleave build does not go into ravager anymore? would it be not nicer for aoe dmg then? https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/protection/colossus/DAOAVVBRFQhIVIpRUBANVUVFRERFVZVRQDVQAEFVVUBU
because Battering Ram is better with 4set but you can go for Ravager if you want
ah i see it, sadly i have no new t-piece yet..but that makes sense..thank you pal 🙂
But rav early = good ghen id guess
Hey y'all trying to pick up a tank for M+ this season and was considering prot warrior, how has it been feeling this season so far?
man prot slaps as colossus!! so much fun
Snagged Omni token out of raid but no other tokens, takes on sending it + converting a piece for 2p or wait two days for vault?
4p is the important threshold, 2p is negligible
I think people will stick with Ravager until the get the 4pc
Do i Change to battering ram when i have 4p?
yes
Yep
Probably hold for vault then, if I get literally any piece of tier I can force 4p with ksm
good plan, it's what I'll be holding out for as well
Cool. I hate rvager
I want this to be around 90% right? blocked hits
How frequent ist the 4p proc?
100% blocked hits is the goal, but sub 10% is a good starting place
@strong forum can you help me with this?
~1ppm
1ppm is 1ppm
means in 1 minute it will proc once
ok thanks 🙂
only 1 ppm? hmm... that is kind of low right?
ill have a look at it

try this
this is my sudden death weakaura but with just your sound added
yours seemed unnecessarily complicated
Looked at blocked hits not blocked damage
Thanks Ill try that out. I used the arms one as a baseline for mine
4 or 5 different triggers when you could manage it all with just conditions
prot is pretty strong
ekkelt
mustve been a giga pull priory route
Just consider it as a proc that resets the CD of SC once per minute. It's not game-changing, but it's nice enough
what? what im doing wrong, im sitting on 1.5-1.8 😄
cinderbrew
i still use 639 mainhand xd
shield too but yeah
Did you pull the whole first room at once? lmao
doesnt matter, u have to keep up that dps....
how u guys finishing dungeons dps wise
by killing stuff quickly
you keep high overall!
if your key is slow its shit overall
im still 645 equipped 0 tier no new trinkets
highest ive had is only like 2.6mil

I'm still trying to figure out if I like the capo weapon
Regardless of sims, feels funny
prot in good state?
.
i like the colossus hero tree, not so spammy as mountain thane
so what is the rotation when AoE'ing. Just press Revenge?:D Seems like dealing the most dmg for me.
SS>Revenge>TC if need rage basically
at what point do we drop our season 1 tier set bonuses? cant find anything about it in any guide
Right away
yeah s1 tier was like at most 0.5% damage if that
ah okay, thanks for the answer!
even over demolish?
Demolish is separate, those were the 3 rotational spells.
wat u guys craft
or you repeatedly mash your face into that same mega pull like fifteen times, lasting long enough to do damage, but not enough to kill anything, making disproportionately more of your damage be on mass pulls instead of an even distribution
Both are good. Paladin just has infinitely more utility.
how far off in performance is mountain thane from colossus in m+
Swapping over to PWar from brew for raid, im assuming wowhead/icy-veins talents are more geared towards having 4 set. Is there a string or something someone can point me to to see a decent set up for talents w/o set?
tyty!
tierset doesn't change talents when he was yelling us to swap ravager for battering ram smh
nobody been yellin
Also, it feels good seeing pictures of DPS above tanks. I keep getting told that Prot War is bugged and that I should feel stupid for playing it by pugs I end up with
Skill issue on the pugs and dps
It 100% is
mostly posting this so people can stop thinking that pwar is only tank doing damage
Like just because all of the fotm vdh don't do damage doesn't mean vdh doesn't do damage. They literally all run the lowest damage vdh build too
Well I feel dumb doing my myth craft pre-nerf xD I figured there was 0% chance I'd be doing a 10 this week. I was mistaken.
gears getting fucking cranked
😠
My envy is intense. Tried like 12 runs for either of those trinkets, gotten neither.
Instead I got the big red button. No one wants the big red button.
theres only 6 loots in priory it aint that bad to farm
i got Signet of the Priory.... good trinket but its not tome 😦
i won the trinket from rik at lfr..kinda funny trinket, lots of haste
2min cd feelsbadman
least we can cope with tome having been nerfed
I don't think I've seen nome use capital letters lmao
When are folks breaking 4 set?
Big red button is big red poop
as soon as you get something better
s1 tier is super poop
10-4 good bye tier and hello hero track m+ gear
I have to use the big red button, it's 30 ilvl higher than my old one ><
And yes, I know it's a big red turd. That's why I have tried to farm priory ;~;
2+2
miniscule amounts

Spellreflect Essentials is finally updated. Yahoooo.
Woo
has anyone done underpin on either difficulty yet
hilarious how Ignore Pain is not used for defensive purposes in this scenario, only to prevent rage cap
Anyone playing colossus in 10+? How is the micro/survivability?
is there ever a situation where one of the shockwave talents in colossus is better than the other
I can't even get him to half health. There's so much movement.
i've timed every 10 and a top 11 with colossus only and it feels giga free
thane might be giga free too but
colossus feels very chill unless you're pulling 5+ packs for a BL pull
I fuck up and get hit by the molten balls
you think Thane is better for omegapulling in priory and meadery?
idk about priory but meadery probably yeah
Honestly I didn't even realize you could kick the bombs at the adds until I did ??, I just aoe'd them down in ?
Makin me look bad, my best so far was just under 2.4m in Priory
bro why is your warrior bar that colour
This is not my beautiful rage economy!
Too many warriors in my raid so changed it
he's a pretty princess
im kinda feeling vulnerable without ignore pain up tho
ok based
Picked a color that wasn’t taken by any class
you’ll be more vulnerable if you overspend rage and can’t keep pressing buttons for ss resets
i need tier so bad man
i'm trying to push over 2m details
but i have no tier and 2 defensive raid trinkets
2 piece only for me
I haven't even got one piece of tier yet
But it seems like 2 piece is a pretty nice upgrade in terms of damage
i have full hero gear in every tier slot but i know if i send my catalyst charges i'm gonna get punished by vault
i mean ofc i try to prevent cap as much as possible, but not having some ignore pain in packs feels yikes
we're gonna have like 2 hours on gally tomorrow so i'm prayge we kill that and i can yoink a curio
And used one catalyst on gloves that dropped from a 10
Not spending the other catalyst charge until next week when/if I have 3 piece
i did 2.1M in priory and 2M in rookery as 642 with s1 tier
very doable
yeah i think i've hit like 2.1-2.2 in some of the pad keys but i'm tryna JUICE
i'm 651 i should be turbo blasting
Broke 2.4k io last night so tryin to climb
ye go pump
yeah i think i'm gonna go for 3k this season should be super free
pog spell reflect WA fixed
now that there's a mount and an achi
Man I’m like 645 lmao
i sent craft on shield
myth shield is from rik which might not die for a few weeks
and i don't wanna be using hero shield in 3 weeks like
I’m just going to be a token Andy for shield when it comes out
Since I’m dps in raid

isn't that ages away
or unconfirmed
11.1.5
Whenever that happens
In the meantime I’m pushing IO as tank with whatever I get
Just ninja and gquit, it's so ez
I mean more or less saying I’m stuck using crafts on DPS stuff
In the short term until crests aren’t so tight
Just hack blizz servers and modify your number of sparks and crests, it's so ez
play SMF and craft 1h weapon

Matta and me, shitpost extraordinaires
kinda cringe having a cantrip shield tbh
surely myth track shield is better than hc gally shield
so hc gally shield is just useless
and then idc about it when gally dies
so wtf is the point?
It is, yeah, myth track being better than hc gally
even if hc gally is more dps
I wouldn't be surprised if damage wise it's beaten out
gimping shield ilvl is griefing
My only issue is that it's stuck on last boss
Feels real bad if you're not a shield using character in a high-end mythic guild
That wording came out awkward
If you're a shield character in a guild that isn't high end mythic, it feels bad
Since if you only get access to it late season, woohoo
Love how peak hour happens and wow just shits the bed
last boss is dead, why do i need more gear
is it bad even outside the raid?
the raid was kinda crazy at like 6:30pm on wednesday
i think all the rep drops for warbands was kinda breaking the servers
That's a good chunk if the issue with having really good stuff off last boss in raid. Raiders give less of a shit, and it only affects M+ players and PvP players sometimes who potentially have to fuel the raid wagon to do the content they actually like
tbh i think it's kind of a unique issue for shields
a good cantrip heroic weapon will be better than a myth weapon, until you get myth cantrip weapon
same with trinkets and jewellry
but literally nothing matters on shield apart from ilvl, it's kinda the only piece like that
unless you pvp, in which case refer to my above statement
there are players who aotc raid but don’t do much m+
surely you can get 60 gilded for a myth crafted
especially now that 7s drop gilded and are so easy
you might as well say “normal raid gear is pointless”
What do ppl craft as first item ?
only m+ tbh
make a shield
Gonna wait for vault, if I get a shield great, ill make a weapon, otherwise Ima make a shield
Im personaly waiting for first vault at least
^ that's fair too
i crafted week 1 to push hard for hc mugzee/gally and first boss mythic but if you're just vibing then you should chill until vault
I sent my spark on my weapon because I want more damage and I do not fear god
(also it has ascension)
@lyric fern has ascended
on 2nd boss motrherload is there smt special tank need do there ? except like move abit so floor clear?
hi guys can someone send me their build for 2h prot warrior!
Did they change something regarding shield block? Im not having as much uptime as I used to in S1? It's not too bad, uptime is still 88% on a dungeon run but it used to be 95+ %
trying to import this rn, giving me an error decompressing
i have a build for 1 button prot war
This isn't Classic lmao
was that my question
please give now
