@strong forum You hyped for visions returning? Because I'm hyped to see you do them with -1000000 fucks given again

strong forum
#

i hated visions back then

#

and ill hate them this time around aswell

warm plinth
#

I know, but it was content for me keks

strong forum
#

i just did the grind session to get the backpack and mount

#

fucking 3hrs of speedrunning visions

warm plinth
#

At the end of the season I was like I should probably try to get the mailbox mount

#

Got it in the third mailbox I ever opened keks

strong forum
#

ye

warm plinth
#

I was surprised at how much grinding I had to do for the 100k memento mount though considering I loved visions and did boosts all the time too

strong forum
#

ye i had to grind like...

#

23 visions?

#

in 3hrs

warm plinth
#

🤮

#

I loved visions and that's still too many for me in a short period

#

I'm annoyed too that it doesn't seem like we're getting any more versions either

#

Just gonna be Org/SW again

#

I dunno why'd they go and nerf tank specs when tank players are already not that common. Is fun doing 2.3m+ overall in weekly keys. Being a dps main is just a lower threshold to tank when u can do big numbers

strong forum
#

cuz people cried

#

and heroic logs are inflating "how much ahead" we are

#

Yet dhs are solo healing basically 😂

#

Silly

thats why our nerf isnt large

Hi Jakey qt

amber wedge
#

Weird

#

i get that you want to stack as much haste and crit as possible, but does versa become useful at some point as well?

strong forum
#

not rly

jagged pier
#

U cant get vers to any lvl to be useful

#

U need to get to like 50% vers

torn gulch
#

I am tanking with 5% vers and it's fine

#

versa was good in bfa when you had 100%

strong forum
#

1% here

warm plinth
#

No way, you need 13.63% exactly to survive high keys. This is the law.

strong forum
#

vers is flat dmg reduction with very little return

floral bronze
#

aight im running 12k crit, 16k haste and 12k vers atm, need so swap a ring to get more crit

jagged pier
#

It was lucrative ppl couldnt do them

strong forum
#

even if you get to 20% vers, which you need like 20k vers for, its "only" 10% damage reduction

warm plinth
#

Yeah, easy gold

strong forum
#

at the cost of massive investment elsewhere

#

and a huge dmg loss

sharp gale
#

Twilight devastation gave me plenty of gold to death roll

floral bronze
#

alright ty guys, will swap some vers to crit when i get the gear

toxic pewter
#

is there any world where we want basically like 25% crit just to satisfy 4pc or is that just kinda dumb thinking

strong forum
#

colossus relies on crit to do big pump

strong forum
#

that part is pivotal

toxic pewter
#

like doesnt crit lose value after 25%

strong forum
toxic pewter
#

lol

#

ok so I am thinking of it wrong

floral bronze
strong forum
#

just sim it or

toxic pewter
#

crit does so much outside of 4pc anyway

strong forum
#

colossus gets 10% crit amp

sharp gale
strong forum
#

shield slam has a 10% crit amp

#

spear has a 25% crit amp

toxic pewter
#

yeah i forget about that crit amp

strong forum
#

shield slam crits generate 2 stacks of colossal might instead of 1

#

4pc crit reduces SC cd

#

crit grants you higher uptime of wild strikes

#

shield charge has a 20% crit amp with battering ram

#

CRIT VERY GOOD

toxic pewter
#

yes

#

with trinkets i get to like almost 50% crit lol

"low self sustain"

Just rock and stone

its not a bdk or paladin

ret paladin is by far the most popular dps

not a lot of people out who enjoy the brawny zug style

they want fancy shit

Good points. Zug is life tho

toxic pewter

demolish prot warr pretty fun and even us doing solid dam still not that popular

vocal flame
wide charm
#

Who cares about tank damage

#

when you can have a VDH aoe silence a pack for 8 seconds followed by 2 additional AOE stops (fear and chains)

#

is that 20-25% more tank damage really worth the utility? Clearly the community doesn't think so

#

is what it is

strong forum
#

smth smth the grass is always greener

wide charm
#

Yep but I mean VDHs have such high utility that there are routes specifically for vdhs

unborn dragon
#

And prot isn't exactly lacking in utility itself

wide charm
#

Yea but you can do way more group damage in keys with unique pulls and those aoe stops

#

that's the thing, the missing dmg from vdh doesn't really effect anything due to that --- the rest of the group gets to blast more in a lot of circumstances

toxic pewter
#

plus that 3% extra magic dam.. still stronger than battle shout

unborn dragon
#

That is 100% dependent on group comp

toxic pewter
#

well with fire mages and sp's and crap

wide charm
#

To be clear, I love my prot war -- VDHs by comparison are hilariously easy to play

unborn dragon
#

Bring a havoc. With Aug being dogshit you have a lot more flexibility in group comp right now.

echo egret
#

The underpin ?? - any way to bait the adds in certain positions ?

toxic pewter
#

yeah tank boss along the wall I went clockwise

#

if he leaps to you that is sweet

#

basically kill adds then go further along the wall

jagged pier
unborn dragon
#

Like we press three main buttons to survive whereas VDH is constantly rotating like 7 different things to survive.

wide charm
#

Sure xD... but playing it right is definitely more complex.
I have easily double the buttons on my UI with prot war vs VDH --- now, I haven't played VDH in over an expansion but I doubt it's changed much based on what I see

#

Saying we press 3 main buttons on a prot war is cap AF

toxic pewter
#

I always thought vdh is considered a bit more unforgiving than prot warr

cerulean tusk
#

Is this normal ST in your guys experience?

unborn dragon
#

It is

cerulean tusk
#

Seems very very low

wide charm
#

that I could agree with I guess

toxic pewter
#

st i can do like up to to 2 mil i think obviously I may be wrong I cant remember for sure

wide charm
#

if you drop demon spikes or pull incorrectly you could just pop sure

unborn dragon
#

My highest st is 1.7 mil but I also live in Dstance in raid.

#

Or keys I meant

toxic pewter
#

ok yeah maybe around 1.8 mil

#

is more accurate

small steeple
#

Which is even easier now with how much longer demon spikes are

wide charm
#

Just because you can explode if you fuck up on a VDH doesn't mean it is as complex as prot war

#

Unforgiving? Sure-- more difficult? Absolutely not

small steeple
#

For some people, because vdh doesn't really have an active mitigation or a group of big defensive cd's, they just can't play it no matter what

#

Can't get their mind around it or something

wide charm
#

You have to be prepared to kite more --- but again, with glide and your leaps you have the strongest tools to kite

toxic pewter
#

are they kiting these days though

warm plinth
#

Kite?

small steeple
#

As someone who played vdh up to 3k last season, that only very very rarely happens. Same as prot warrior

#

Almost never happens

warm plinth
#

I would recommend playing VDH before you compare its complexity with prot warrior

toxic pewter
#

honestly since df they make prot warr a lot easier imo we may even be training wheels tank

warm plinth
#

Prot warrior, while it can be very unforgiving, is not a particularly complex spec at its core.

unborn dragon
#

VDH is definitely more complex lmfao anyone saying otherwise hasn't played it.

floral bronze
#

do you wanna use demolish ALWAYS with other cds up (demo shout, avatar, roar) or send it as soon as its up? sometimes it comes up like 8sec earlier or so and im wondering if saving it fo cds is a mistake

small steeple
toxic pewter
#

ya

mighty valley
#

prot warrior is a little unintuitive for new players but once you know how it works it’s one of the least complex tanks

toxic pewter
#

we training wheels tank

warm plinth
#

We press basically one button to live in the general sense. VDH has multiple that they have to press at the right time

small steeple
#

I like to compare vdh to an onion

#

It's got layers

#

or a cake...

wide charm
#

That's cap AF -- you won't live through shit with just shield block up

toxic pewter
#

lol

warm plinth
#

what

small steeple
#

what

toxic pewter
#

98% of shit is like shrugged off

mighty valley
#

plus you can press sw if you’ve got one for IO

wide charm
#

Give me a break y'all are tweaking if you think you don't need to cycle demo shout, shield block, etc
while using lots of IPs

#

shield block does not keep you alive unless you are slow pulling

#

gtfo

small steeple
#

guess I'm tweaking

floral bronze
unborn dragon

Apparently people use demo shout as a defensive cooldown? news to me

#

im telling you man

#

pugs need hekili

unborn dragon
#

I promise you'll realize it's harder.

warm plinth
#

Half the damage you take in every dungeon, if not more, will be blockable damage. I'm not suggesting Shield Block is our only mitigation tool. I'm comparing what we need to press at minimum to survive, vs what VDH does.

wide charm
#

I played a VDH for a very long time all through legion and BFA, was 3600 in legion on it as well -- I know it's been a minute but again -- class seems more or less the same

warm plinth
#

VDH has to press multiple abilities to survive, while we can survive most with just one.

#

VDH is literally completely different from then to now

#

COMPLETELY

small steeple
floral bronze
#

also i think vdh is a bit unintutive bcs you need your dps abilities for def, like sigil of flame for the +parry, fel dev/meta for demonsurge

mighty valley
#

we obviously press other buttons as part of surviving but we can generally just Send That Shit and it works

small steeple
floral bronze
small steeple
#

Also wasn't BFA vdh literally a 1 button spec? Just hit shear

mighty valley
#

also all of m+ has become more complex since legion/bfa lmao

toxic pewter
#

this convo making me want to level up my vdh

small steeple
#

for soulmonger

floral bronze
#

prot warr is VERY intuitive, but you need to cycle your defs pretty well and essentially track 2 buffs at all times (SB, IP)

wide charm
toxic pewter
#

screw healers

warm plinth
#

I don't think it's worth continuing the argument because he's arguing with only half the information.

small steeple
warm plinth
#

It's a pointless discussion when one person insists they know what they're talking about, when (no offense) they don't

wide charm
#

You have to cycle and layer your CDs on prot war as well xD

#

If you overlap your defensives too much you'll either die or have to pull much slower

small steeple
#

The point is that is all vdh has

warm plinth
#

I strongly suggest you go play the current iteration of VDH in some keys and then you'll see that it's a lot more complex than we are.

prisma echo
#

I currently done most 10's on my warrior and all 10's on VDhH so i can compare both. They are just different i agree you need "press more" as VDH. War feel more "intuitive" from tank perspective.

#

VDH have big selfheal which give you big sort of stability you dont have on Prot but on other hand prot i think will do better on higher keys and will be easier

toxic pewter
#

wat does intuitive mean

prisma echo
#

also its much much easier to make dmg as prot then on vdh

warm plinth
#

It means it can be understood without a lot of outward direction

plain island
#

Hello , i started playing prot recently , what first 2 items i should craft with my runed crest?

prisma echo
#

Generate/Spend use active mitigation buttons

warm plinth
#

Like you can look at it and understand mostly how it works

small steeple
#

By high I mean top 1%

#

if not higher

mighty valley
prisma echo
#

wont argue cuz not competent in that matter 🙂

warm plinth
#

Yeah, Harrow explained that better lol

prisma echo
#

By higher i mean 12-14 when you cant just zoom pressing all defs as vdh for just damage

toxic pewter
plain island
small steeple
#

so don't use runed to craft

plain island
small steeple
#

Then shield

plain island
#

do i just use my runed to upgrade my stuff and farm glided?

cerulean tusk
#

Just start with the gilded version, the heroic track shield will last you till there either way. Use runed to upgrade all gear to 658

small steeple
#

Unless your gonna get a myth from your vault, thats the best your gonna get outside of myth gallywix shield

plain island

and whats the 2nd item should be?

You can't argue vdh is simpler than prot warrior when you don't even know what half of its defensive kit is

#

ya spb suck

warm plinth
#

30-40%? How?

wide charm
#

These all sound like things that are passively being generated through your rotation -- it's like saying Punish is a defensive ability on prot war --- no one would bring that up

warm plinth
#

Isn't it like 1% per fragment for 6 seconds? or 2% with 2 points

small steeple
#

Ok sorry mathed wrong, 15-30%.

warm plinth
#

Lei honestly, you're convinced you're right. Either play the spec yourself in some keys and learn the hard way, or idk. I doubt any of us are going to convince you when your counterargument to facts is "those all sound like"

Yikes

warm plinth

It really is yikes, I agree

I mean you can't explain anything and just expect me to change my opinion lmao

small steeple
wide charm
#

Absolutely not? LOL

warm plinth
#

Oh go fuck yourself man. I'm not wasting more of my time on your willful ignorance. I tried to be respectful but now you're just trying to fucking condescend to me when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

solid sun
#

I think there’s some validity to the statement that core rotational abilities providing defensive value is simpler than a different tank that presses defensives separately from their offensive buttons

wide charm
#

If someone can't explain something why on earth would the other person change their opinion??

warm plinth
#

Go fucking educate yourself BEFORE you come in here spewing nonsense. It's not our job to educate you.

small steeple
#

So your saying we haven't explained anything. Have you read anything we said at all?

toxic pewter
#

fine this discussion has made me log onto my vdh.. swore I would not since shadowlands season 1..

wide charm
#

LOL

small steeple
#

@ionic fern can you stop this argument? I'm stopping myself before it gets worse

warm plinth
#

I've been very patient and tried to explain to you and you're just being an asshole about it.

solid sun
#

I haven’t seen anyone be an asshole

wide charm
#

I've been reading but when you guys bring up VDH has X ability I ask a question and you act like it's not worth your time to explain it

#

so it's wild you expect an opinion to change when you also refuse to give me information that I supposedly need

solid sun
#

He mentioned stuff being passively gained through the rotation. Did anyone respond to that? I didn’t see a response and now people are heated

warm plinth
#

I fucking answered the question you asked 😂 And even left ouf something that was completely passive.

I just saw/heard they have a power outage at where the sim computers are at

lusty grotto
#

kinda wild reading how punish shouldn't be considered a defensive ability

#

but ill leave it there

wide charm
#

I just meant that it isn't something you'd mention when comparing because it's a passive thing that should happen from your natural rotation -- you don't do anything special to apply it or even have to think about it

lusty grotto
#

well youre supposed to stack it on a prio target

#

so you ARE doing something

wide charm
#

Yea, that's fair -- but you should be attacking that prio target anyways

#

almost always

lusty grotto
#

i can think of a few scenarios when not

#

affix for example

small steeple
#

Barrels

#

Totems

lusty grotto
#

yea

small steeple
#

That’s all I got lol

lusty grotto
#

prio targets are more often than not because they kill the group, have more hp than others, not because they kill you

#

so i guess my wording should have been better

wide charm
#

So you'd hold ss to put on a more durable mob instead of sending it into a totem in meadery?

#

I wouldnt idk

lusty grotto
#

if affix spawns on gigazap

#

what are you more inclined to put punish on?

#

cause its definitely on gigazap

#

can just tab and execute the dumb ghost

small steeple
#

Just get a monk or 2 to touch of death it

im having simming withdrawals

mighty valley
lusty grotto

i think i just shouldnt have used prio target, because that can get confusing, you should be getting a prio target down sure, but there's always a different priority to save your ass / deal with tank damage with punish - so i wouldnt say it can be overlooked

yes yes okay

3% crit

depends on your gear, would need to sim

tribal wharf
#

this is why i say about the 3 rez thing

broken cove
#

can you do it in quicksim or how

tribal wharf
#

even though its supposed to be hardcore, which since d2 blizzard treats as "you die you die"

#

imagine you are the only paladin left alive after this

#

and you come back and you rez everyone

warm plinth
#

what 3 rez thing

tribal wharf
#

its just my belief with HC wow is, if you arent incenerated by lava, eaten by dragon, 1 shot by meteor

#

you arent 100% dead, and you can be ressurected

#

its on a timer

warm plinth
#

Idk what you're talking about. Did they add resurrections in hardcore?

tribal wharf
#

should be i think, but ye lol

#

like we have divine intervention button in hc pretty sure

#

remind me what that does again

warm plinth
#

It's like a targeted bubble but the person who used it dies

tribal wharf
#

so you press a button and you die in hc,

#

where you cant be rezzed

#

sorry, i had to make the point on that lol

warm plinth
#

Yes, it will still kill you in hardcore

#

and you are still permanently dead

urban bane

not this conversation again

going right sucks, the miniboss there is harder than the miniboss on the other side, AND the mini you have to deal with during the boss fight going right requires more brain cells than the one you have to deal with after going left

lusty grotto

thats not what top rank keys think misread

but you do you

dispelling requires more brain cells than a kick rotation, hmm

mate holy fuck how broken is tome of lights devotion (658 ilvl)

just ran a +9 floodgate to farm the crit trinket and tome did 103M overall, equating to roughly 3.3% of my damage

Priory right = all the effort to not fuck up on the boss is on 5 members of the team.

Priory left = all the effort to not fuck up is on your tank and healer and dps can cleave target dummy style

#

I don't see a logical argument to go right unless mathematically the tank can't survive a judgement/bleed overlap

vale escarp
#

Maybe If you are 4 man premate and know how to kick but dunno how good your Pug-heal is? On the other way the heal still have to dodge the AoE and die even with good interrupts

young wasp
#

Even if you're kicking, you still have to spread and then the boss can leap onto someone mid fire rain and fuck them unless they fixed that overlap

#

Cause that was toxic, getting leapt on during fire rain and just getting globaled by it :(

lusty grotto
#

i mean i used to like right

#

cause you get to kill the group with fire puddle miniboss

#

cause that area is fucking aids

#

easier to handle him when he comes running over

#

but yeah i was shown the light

#

and its not that kicking @ boss is substantially harder, but why would you chose the more tedious path

young wasp
#

I think if anything its weird one side of the dungeon has the same mechanics but the other has two completely different ones

#

Left would be more challenging if the boss's add put a shield on both of them that reflected damage and exploded for wipe level damage if you didn't get both off

#

But instead you get a mini boss that does literally nothing and then a dispell on boss?

#

Meanwhile right side you pretty much get the same mob twice weird design choice

yeah, that's why the dps have to do their part, drag adds to tank if they pull, MD/FD/meld/feint yadda yadda

idk, but makes no sense to nerf something that is not the most OP

colo was the strongest damage wise among all tanks

it was only matched by other tanks specs getting major good RNG and high rolls

you can only block attacks from the front, if you weren't aware, which is our main mit

sorry to interject - How are you guys doing the Sprocketmonger transitions? Do you hold the boss until you get the party pack or swap at a certain stack of the debuff?

Question so with this nerf doesnt it also effect are def in big pulls alot because we lose the healing from leech?

toxic pewter

I mean yeah we will heal less via leach but prob won’t be that noticeable at least I don’t think

rustic epoch
#

Shrug its normalie atleasted 20% of my healing so i wish we got some flat dmg reduction out of this atleast

mighty valley
#

It’s roughly a 5% damage nerf, you really won’t notice the difference from leech

mighty valley
#

Oh dang

toxic pewter
#

So 13% of 20% healing

#

What is that

#

Like 2.5% less leech healing or somethin

Prob won’t feel it in my opinion

mighty valley
#

Yeah still don’t think it makes much difference to our ability to live

rustic epoch
#

Shrug i just worried about it since indom was nerfed do to rage gen nerf now leech do to dmg nerf means we need strong healers more if not same as a monk would

mighty valley

A lot of folks are just dropping indom completely and doing just fine

I miss the 6% stam from indom more than the 1% healing every 20 rage to be honest lol

I'm sure there are some fights current raid that make it worthwhile?

execute is at sepulcher levels, but not quite at antorus levels since juggernaut isnt uncapped like back then

these changes have been made with such care to leave our viability in raid untouched while impacting our cleave with revenge only in M+ that i am forced to suspect that they have been made with malice. there is (for there must be) some villain at blizzard who was, at some point, maligned by a protection warrior and now we are punished as a class (an appropriate term, i certainly feel like an underclassman when looking at my purple counterparts)

hello, i lurked in here but first time writing, there is a possibility to let someone check my log on a m+ run? i consistently do 1.8m on 10 and 1.4m on 12 and when i see people at 2.5m i ask myself how this is possible, so i think is an error for my part playing something bad

your overall dps also depends on the dungeon

#

it will be higher on brew than in ToP

twilit eagle
#

ii find it much higher in priory and absolute shit in theater honestly

But since you mentioned it, you can also drop it here

#

i probably know whats wrong but ill look anyways

pallid quiver
#

If you do ever make a topic in the log review section, I'd recommend mentioning it here as well, as a heads up, since Prot normally doesn't get as many log review asks

twilit eagle
#

ok i will let you know when i have the log, usually i dont use those sort of thing apart from raiderio, choco said it maybe have a clue though

pallid quiver
#

Logs will say exactly what you're doing, so we can tell you specifically what needs to be done to improve performance

twilit eagle
#

any tip o which addon i need to use to register them?

pallid quiver
#

Jakey has a good write up that can be found there on how to log

twilit eagle
#

ok prepared all, when i do some m+ i will post the log, thanks guys

Hello all, beginer question, i`ve seen on raiderio prot ranking, that some tanks go along with crit/haste gems and enchants and some go with full on vers gems/enchants. Is versatility a solid route?

pallid quiver
#

All secondaries are close enough that it doesn't matter, but you will get objectively more value from crit this season, considering you can guarantee SS crits with enough crit rating during tier set

#

It's got to feel absolutely horrible to miss a crit since iirc it's only 75% crit chance on SS when it procs

#

so if you can't get the other 25% somehow, you could theoretically not get a crit SS to reduce SC cd

sick halo
#

Thank you for this.

#

Do we have some cap values that i should try to aim my crit/haste values

Not really,no.

Reasoning to do one or the other remains the same

#

Should i have a 100% uptime in M+ to SB? Atm i stack at 80-90% since i switched my Talent to „Into the Fray“ because of the 8% Haste-Buff.

#

You should have complete uptime

#

Unless you run massacre for some reason

I’m the only one that fell it weird that the 4s of shield wall from the 2P don’t stack with the 8s from using the shield wall ? If you get a proc at the moment you were about to press shield wall, you will only have a 8s instead of 12s… For me the Logic would be that it cumulate like shield bloc. What is your opinion ?

wrong person woops

For me it could be so mush better for Warrior prot tankiness that is just stack… that would be a great up for Warrior durability and QoL

nop if you proc and then cast it it's just a normal 8 sec

Hi, with the recent class tuning is mountain thane recommended over colossus for m+?

#

Oh gosh on bdk it was a hotfix last week I thought war didn’t have the issue 😢

indigo hawk
#

Ah ! For you it’s a bug ?

#

Or they did it in purpose ?

steep condor

#

It's probably more beginner friendly, since your primary damage in thane leans more into Thunderclap, you don't have to worry as much about spending rage offensively

#

meanwhile colossus is huge damage from revenge but that takes rage away from IP/SB

steep condor
#

Thanks! Colossus sounds more fun 🙂

oak ivy
#

imo it definitely is

untold isle
#

Colossus is so much more fun 😄

Go Col, do big crits okayge

untold isle
#

untold isle
#

its not so much

steep condor
#

I thought the recent nerfs might have ruined it

untold isle
#

no

cerulean tusk
#

10-15% ish

untold isle
#

the main aoe dmg is from revenge, which is untouched

steep condor
#

Excellent news!

cerulean tusk
#

It stings quite a bit

untold isle
#

well ok, from doing 2,5m in dung you will go to 2,3m

#

still awesome

#

also demolish in m+ for like banner in ToP or for gun in Workshop is purely insane help to grp

cerulean tusk
#

That is cope, but you ain't wrong technically speaking. Does allow BDL to shine tho

steep condor
#

#

helps grp big time in ToP and also Workshop on these specifics bosses

steep condor
#

If I had shield irl I’d be smashing it with my sword! You guys have got me hyped to try it 🙂

untold isle
#

i havent been enjoying playing prot this much in a few seasons, the collosus and demolish is just awesome

#

once you learn a few tricks and how to pull, what to use when its just pure fun

And when not to cast demolish...
