The effects of those two decisions have had impacts and reverberating effects we still have not even fully felt or experienced yet. Which is not to say they’ve already had glaring effects in regards to class balance so far with the disgrace of aug situation and paladins becoming even stronger utility wise than they already were (top utility class as it was)
"Declined" in 10+ pug I guess
it’s been over two years, I think we’ve felt the effects bud
oh damn the huge edit
The effects of those changes live on currently
And will continue to plague the situation for a long while
Who knows how long it will haunt us
Probably forever
Thankfully Aug was taken out back of the shed.
For now
i would posit that battle res is a vanishingly small portion of prot paladin’s reason for viability
To say brez has not aided prot pala is also just a lie
Yeah see
You and I just disagree on fundamentals
Honestly, as a prot warr I'll always pick a prot paladin for my alt char key over a warr if they're both same rating 🥺
I've invited a ret pal to a group over 30 other candidates because we all said "yeah whatever just get a brez"
Giving a brez to a class that already had the most utility forever shifted the situation and blizzard cannot remedy it
I'd rather a druid, but I like the group vers buff
The druid is a boomie pressing starfall 50 times
As a warrior tank I prefer monk healers, they're right there with me every step of the way
Can't squeeze a brez in between sadly
Meanwhile a new class that also had an astonishingly high amount for utility (evoker) lust on top of it is indefensible
Those two decisions.. we will be haunted forever
And the game suffers on
Honestly monk should of gotten brez and warrior lust
why would monk getting bres be better than paladin getting it
No one will deny that it's dumb that every other class/spec seems to have more utility and dps than Warrior. Those two choices you mentioned are still not the two biggest mistakes by Blizzard thought. At least in my opinion.
I agree, Monk could get brez thematically, and Warrior is obvious lust choice.
Paladins have the most utility of any class. When they got brez that was one of the largest spits in the face of the honest players within the community I’ve seen in my wow career
Anyone honest with themselves that thinks that was a good decision
I cannot respect them
From these warriors, 3 are Thanes and 47 are Colossus. So guess where prot warr is going now after the nerf
Going to be in the same spot we always are lol. Like 4th-5th most played tank
Not much will change
Millennials like prot wars, genZ plays VDHs 
true chadis
We will stay #4
I’m fine with the damage nerf, but they just should’ve gave something back in return.
Overall we’re decent, we just will still be decent but do less damage now.
Probably a little lighter on the aoe nerf would’ve been nice, I’ll run some sims once it’s live and see where to go build wise from there.
We will still be top dps ST tank, just below BDK on aoe by the look of things.
we still play colossus also with the nerf of we go thane?
Colossus will be fine
but now theres a less of a gap betweeen than and col. That extra beffyness is gunna look nicer the high you climb key wise
Quick sim will find out
Does anyone by chance have the image with the presence of the tanks in the m+
?
during all the old season
Off the top of my head MT might overtake colossus for pure ST/raid
Will be tough for MT to be colossus in aoe though
do we know yet if the changes make us want to go mountain thane?
If you wanna do less damage but be tankier
colossus dps still pulls ahead in aoe so if you're still surviving there's no need to swap
Good morning. Im New to tanking this season. I did a darkflame cleft 7. I did second most damage overall with 1.4 Billion. Was my dds bad or im just good and my warrior make good damage ? What is your Overall damge in low keys
if you did 1.4 billion dps, you're cracked and probable engaging with a little bit of the cheat engine
If you're talking straight damage dealt, it doesn't tell too much of the story, since there's technically only so much damage to go out
What you mean with cheat engine ?
just did a heap of sims, collosus will still win in all circumstances.
i think you're thinking 1.4mil
good to know, sortry i was in a key haha
No billion
i like both so was just curious
Overall et the end of dungeon
ahhh, dps is more relative.
he's talking straight damage dealt, not dps
Yeah
total damage doesn't mean too much
But i was mugh higher than the pala and Firemage
Only unholy make more
And they got way better gear
you're not going to get a real answer until you give a DPS value and a dungeon
I will look next time
There is only so much damage to go out, and you could have done it one singular mob at a time; we can't tell
On boss Fights i did 2,4 million dps
Your DPS would be terrible if you did that, but you'd do the same damage overall
Ah okay i under stand
But its cool as tank to make more damage than most random dps in m+
And i didnt even try to switch stances cause im New and Afraid to Die
I doubt the 2.4 mil DPS without adds, since prot wars in raid aren't even reliably breaking 2 mil without adds
and they have a full suite of raid buffs
this is incorrect ,else you are playing kids' key level at 7-9 , go higher keys 12+ and show me if you can outdps a real dps .
Notche, stop being a dick
I said +7
at every waking moment
you think we are kindergarden simming at +7 , if you have a slight dignity you won't mention such a key here
Notche, get over yourself. I don't know why you have the absolute psychological need to shit on people trying to improve themselves or be happy with their progress
not really i am empathic and i love people , but i don't like the prag mentality of ''hey look at me tank outdpsing a random dps at pug ''
But like actually, piss off with that attitude. We don't need to be the average WoW player here; we can just be happy for people trying to enjoy themselves and to help people improve.
This is fucking cap
Notche, don’t make me compare logs
Chill guys. Im just Proud ofmyself that i did a few +7 and 8 . Tanking is really hard to learn if u only Played elemental shaman and Mages before. Its a totally different play style
Dont argue becsuse of me
Ozzy, if you topped total damage it means you also beat them in dps, which is good and bad.
Really good for you, but bad for them as it means they got beat by the tank.
Yeah this is what i wanted to know
ya Luerce i love you ya luerce but i don't get it when i want to show deep reality even if it's brutal i see you as a white knight trying to put me down into submissive position
Csuse when i play shaman no tank beats me in dps before
Generally we use dps as it’s easier to examine
I.e if you’re 660 ilvl and you did 2mil and another 660 PWar did 2.5mil we can be like okay they did that differently
Total damage can be that you wiped a few times or that you pulled extra pats
ya sokraxx you are beast playing with 20 ms latency near paris servers and i know you are good
Huh? I’m Tasmanian
ik why
keep typing two words in each warriors' channel , go sell some fake hats ya gio
On top of this, like I mentioned, your overall damage is just flat limited by the HP of mobs; If a boss has 100 HP, the total damage of your group is only ever going to be 100 combined
mad?
It doesn't help anyone see if you're optimizing your damage, how efficiently you're doing damage, or anything like that, hence DPS is a more useful metric for WoW's setup, particularly since M+ is timed
So the faster you do that damage, the better
I just wsnt to Tell you. Never before i got so much fun to play another class than shaman. Warrior is really king
It’s good fun, the more damage you do the easier you live.
if you liked prot you will like arms , just keep away from fury it's for mashing kids with low latency pings
Is arms better in m+ than fury ?
yeah check Critcake youtube videos ' he is the king in here and he has been playing arms all the way
Fury is target capped, so when larger pulls come in, it starts to fall behind
I will thanks. I try to get a 2h but it Never Drops in m+
Critcake generally prefers Fury, but there's a lot of dungeons that have real big pulls past Fury's target cap, so
Luerce you been playing much so far?
sorta, I just play when I feel like it
I've hit a few 10s, but haven't bothered to step into 11s yet
Been mostly playing with friends
Yeah, I’ve played a lot more than normal.
Haven’t really pushed yet, gonna start next week.
Some are gear capped and have rough times in those 10s, some are skill capped by 10s, but I've just been chilling mostly
I've just generally been vibing, watching everyone explode around me
pretty fun overall
Times all 10s and a few 11s.
We got 8/8h and 1/8m this week plus I finally got 4pc.
So gonna have a crack at push.
i haven't even stepped foot into H raid yet
I told myself I was gonna this week
then i just got lazy
ya luerce what is your guild name
Got a few top 10overalls, think I’ve been knocked out of them now though.
I've been guildless since MoP, boss
hi bring back s1 prot
I can't be assed to play on a schedule
so you only pug since mop ??
why did they remove execute giving cm
Please
You’ll make me cry
Although we would be busted in ST if it still did as there’s a bit of a gap for us and other tanks on ST as is.
I sometimes play with friends, but yes
blame arms
They wanted Arms to not press execute and press Mortal Strike instead
Can't seem to find the info online. When is versatility applied? After the final damage subtracted after your mitigations? i.e. after Shield Wall?
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but.. since DR in this game is multiplicative, the order doesn't matter (?)
Could sim the changes
5% was napkin math, 12% sim result?
need it now
so initial numbers are normally napkin math before dedicated sims pop out
where my instant gratification
what is the big difference on colossos and thane tanking?
More revenge+a Spell that roots you or more IP and TC
Are we back to thane ?
okay then ill change my question. i am not interested in doing tonns of dmg. what is the best herotalent to survive more
We survive as thane and colossus
Thane is tankier
do we dropp ravager for bsv on higher keys?
Thane feels abit easier to play imo.
Yeah, Thane's easier to play and also a non-determinate amount tankier, since it has higher rage gen. How much so is very difficult to tell, but if playing properly, you'll mitigate more damage. Colo is harder to play, but has a much higher damage ceiling in AOE
help me out real quick, so prot gets nerfed by 5% and guardian gets a 4% buff, even though their raw sims are basically even?
Yeah as thane u can still spam ip abit etc. Dont have to care as much for mistake. As colossus i also had problem keep shield block up as long time. But i just into the fray as colossus so probably not enough haste yet.
guardian had a moderate hit to their single target from the catweaving nerfs
Warrior got hyped via RWF and some crazy numbers from m+… this we got a nerf
If warrior is performing good at the beginning of a season, at least a small nerf is safe
Overall we should be happy that we did not get totally rect…
yes, I remember DF season 1
but the raw sim dps is borked anyway, isn't it? because of execute?
or rather unrealistic
No
Sims are just playing optimally, so if you keep your defensives up and do your rotation correctly you will be very close to your sim numbers
if you learn level 1 alchemy do your flasks last longer?
Nope, you need lvl 25 to unlock specializations
Flask specialization gives you 50% duration through 2 different "milestones"
Level it to 25, pick all alchemy treasures (wowhead the list), put points on correct specialization
Can be done in around 15 minutes
I love how to post about the nerf first said it should be a 2% ST and a 5% AOE for the a week then 24h before the change, it's now 5% ST and 12% AOE
Its longer than 24h since update and the 2/5% was a wild guess few mins after after nerf was announced without any real math done
because nome hadn't gotten around to actually simming it; the 5% was pure napkin math
Yeah archi even specified “napkin math” in the update
Does tome of lights devotion just not sim well or is it not very good?
I'd been using it and it felt really strong, I just wasn't sure if all the other trinket buffs made them pass it up or something. Didn't figure so.
I'm tome/kezan in raid and tome/seaforium in keys
Any “eureka” moments you had for Stix mythic as prot? I’m a DPS main but not a terrible tank and I’m covering mythic as our main guy is off for a couple weeks. Or is it pretty much heroic for us?
Just learn the ball and chill pretty much afaik
Our team is BDK/Prot pala and the pala does all the balls on “right”
Suppossed I get invited, 10s are more than doable at 641 with 2/2 tier and gallywix tank trinket
Yeah I hoped that’d be the case lol
If thats a question then yes
I listened to Rollin by Limp Bizkit on repeat for the entirety of prog
Does tier set work with the immovable object talent on prot?
No
Toxic healer friend rant. We are doing a 10 Rookery, he stands in the tank breath when the boss is 10 percent health. He dies, we wipe. He logs off immediately. Comes back on bnet . Tells me his sub ran out. Says good luck, logs off bnet. Logs back in bnet, logs off bnet. Gone.
I don’t say anything because I’m just stunned at the behavior. Woke up this morning, still stunned
Bnet never logs you out, even if sub runs out
Gives you a grace period
Until you log out yourself
Yup. I knew this as it was happening. I’m just…so shocked at the weak mindedness. Like ok you fucked up. Whatever man who cares. Next key.
The pugs were flaming him hard so I guess that contributed
As prot mains are we supposed to be topless 😂
Get your chest out jakey boy
you barely even play the class
most of your time is rolling
and there's nothing class specific about that
That’s sad
have fun being better at the mechanic than the rest of the raid after 5 pulls then waiting for everyone else to catch up 🙂
Can one tank do all rolls on mythic too?
yes
you tank the boss basically the entire time you're not rolling
hold a shield wall for every demolish, you won't always be in melee range of the boss when he casts it
I’ll probs just volunteer all the balls and let my main tank do boss and adds then
take disrupting shout, if you pick up 2 scrapmasters then hit a bomb you can kick both of them with disrupting and they get into melee way faster
who's your co-tank?
Vdh
No he’s on holiday lmao
It’s who I’m covering for, awful timing
We have an unholy DK 🙂
that's something at least
tell your dps to learn to taunt, we found it pretty useful
melee dps taunting in bombshells/scrapmasters that afk outside on ranged who cba running in
That’s probs a good tip tbf I can pass that on, thanks
i think mountain thane might be legit decent after the patch
(((This is entirely anecdotal and your mileage may vary.))) For me, in 1T 5min patchwerk, Thane sims at about 1.5M and Colossus is at 1.7M
wut bout aoem+?
How bad is this nerf gonna be my fellow warriors?
pins
i dont think the changes are live in sims
but if they are
highly doubt it, tried nightly and latest
but i could be wrong 🙂
I think it may be updated based on this, could be misinterpreting tho
If u play thane the nerfs wont matter too much right? Shield slam reduced dmg but some mountain thane shield slam damage up should compensate abit?
Happy vault day for all of my fellow NA gamers
happy vault day I am hoping for the weapon from mythic rika rika reverb
I'd like a myth track tier piece to replace one of my champion track tier pieces
i would also be very happy with the chest from Cinderbrew
big pref on the weapon though cuz that'd be a hard lock in until M Mugzee
uh
we killed myth rik
hense hoping for the weapon
currently my 2nd best simming, 1st being mugzee Myth
yes\
Fair
the difference between the 2 is so little
I'm hesitant to take it even if it does appear in my vault, we'd more than likely rekill on thursday and I am the sole 1h STR user in our raid
its kinda wild that collosus can receive a 12 percent nerf to aoe and still be ahead of thane
I'd have to hold my grab til thursday night, cuz LC shenangans and there are 0 other people it could go to if he drops it natty
Should i open the vault with tank spec (i crafted weapon and shield) to maybe see a tome?
May all of your vaults be fruitful NA bros
and yours as well, bro of unknown region
🙏
i usually still do prot vault
1 hand wep and shield still good and a lot of tank lootable trinkets are good
like u still have the floodgate trinkets. priory trinkets
With the nerfs to colossal today will MT be better at dmg or just be evenish
slightly better in st
no change otherwise
that's strict ST, if there's adds, colossus outpaces it
Even in ST, aoe colossus still turbo blows thane out the park
i see
suggestions, open vault as prot or arms tomorrow? 😄
i dont got tome trinket yet, but i also sometimes play arms and my 2H weapon is 658 champion track
aight aight ty
Let's hope we get that one item we need that apparently doesn't exist in the dungeon from farming
That's why I don't farm them
Learned that lesson in shadowlands
Farmed the dos shield trinket 38 runs and got it at higher ilvl in the very next vault
I have hero track tome and the chest bomb trinket from floodgate. Whatever it’s called. Also have 675 weapon and shield
Am I a prot opener or an arms opener
I think if it were me I would still open as Prot because I would want a myth tome or max ilvl myth shield
That would mean a wasted craft/crest in your case
If you do any sort of offspec at all fishing for a 2h with arms loot spec is probably best
i just had the world's shortest dmv wait
i didn't even get to sit down and relax for a minute
after walking in the doors
holy shit, it's a 12% aoe nerf?
correct
that's a little over the top no? blood is doing uncapped aoe with blood beast and we here catching strays
in my biased opinion i would agree yes
in actuality i couldnt tell ya but what i can say is majority of top runned keys are vdh so idk prot op i guess
BDK can do 3M overall with bloodbeast procs but we cant do 3M overall that’d be unfair

To many tanks are playing so they want to reduce the number of them.
Didn’t I read a mention in here that Prot warrior popularity was like 4th or 5th out of the six tanks??
Only thing thats gona change is comunity perception
getting into keys is gonna be hard
good effing lord, I did not think they were that far apart
people either want meta tank or brez tank
Obligatory FOR MY CHARACTER WITH MY STATS AND GEAR Colossus is more than 30% more damage than thane
gyat
that will be played now, Colossus or Mountains?
Thane damage is effectively unchanged. Colossus got like a 12% AOE nerf. Colossus is still more DPS. Thane is still more tanky/easy. Play what you want.
Both entirely valid choices
community hates warriors
Just asking - were there 12% nerfs to VDH in any capacity since its rank #1 by a long shot?
they got some 5% parry nerf or something thats it
How about a better question… last season prot Pally dominated with 85% representation in keys 13 and higher…..
Did they ever get hit with a 12% nerf?
what capacity
were they top aoe dmg?
were they top st damage?
yes prot pally has been nerfed
thane gets storm shield which is very useful. i wonder if the ease and tankiness benefits of thane warrior will make it better for high keys
depends on the dmg diff of collosus to thane
Not last season . They dominated the whole season
youre grasping at straws, blizzard only nerfs numbers
in what capacity would you nerf VDH?
the damage is too big
they arent top damage
kinda wild
Btw
collosus is more than 12 percent dps ahead of mountain thane?
Yes. We don’t need to be doing +30 keys
Throws the whole balance out if you have 1 outlier
Rather than buff 5 underperformers
and you didnt think we were the outlier?
even though we're 4th
we were VERY CLEARLY an outlier
tank pop doesnt matter for balance, and shouldn't matter
brother what
Vdh and prot pally
S tier and A tier
those are 12 to 17
look at the parses
you really REALLY didnt think we were an outlier?
the data is there
i hope you dont go "but 17s are low keys"
lmao
Def need to nerf the b tier
its not just M+
Those are who we need to be concerned with
link a tier list
in response to
my parsing data
???
holy
taken by warcraftlogs btw
no, it doesnt
Yes it does
tier list is literally just popularity
You clearly don’t
and shouldnt EVER BE VALID FOR BALANCE
^
I'm late to this but,, yes,, by far
you keep droning on about the same thing
tank pop should not matter for balance, tier lists should not matter for balance
the numbers are there
Damage =/= Meta
HNMmmmmm why would prot warr get nerf 
Prot warrior has to do more dmg than other tanks - we bring less utility - no?
Any time prot is meta - we do dmg
about to link that
It’s always been like that
VDH does no dmg, casters just want chaos brand
this guy is an idiot
Sigil of chains
VDH has a Silence Sigil, a Fear Sigil, and a Grip Sigil
have fun everyone
All great things

you don't need it as prot warr, play melee comps
Prot War, WW, Ret, Elemental, Druid
dream comp

Prot warrior is only meta, if the other classes have no utility thats overly benefical, or it is seen that no other tank can live. Because ppl remeber SB exsists
Ill call it now
Start of next expansion early season 1
OMG PROT WARRIOR INCREDIBLE
then prot pala or something else can live everyone switches
Nothing to do with damage
blood dk will be meta, and it'll be stacked with frost and unholy DK just watch. ele shaman and disc priest just there to cheer DK on
DK rework 11.1.5?

Our utility is our high damage, thus utility removed. 
fools bets
Anyone speccing into fear instead of stormbolt as well
instead of stormbolt?
Seems like more utility with the dungeons we have
i would much rather they give us back something like gag order, if anything than "nerf by 12%" the meta tank like this guy suggests here #protection message, without giving any insight as to what specifically. Otherwise the nerf slinging continues, nerfing because you dont like the meta pick is fucking selfish and you should be ashamed of yourself if you think that way
It's an aoe interupt
Guys we still using colossus after this week update?
Yes, but it's okay because we will be speccing different in higher keys anywho so we will be taking a damage hit in higher keys on exchange for living
that's basically my guess. They are pushing DK power strong by simply not tuning san'layn yet. So either they leave m+ unbalanced until .5 patch or nerf it now
In 14s for sure
no
I feel bad for DPS DK, at least for raid
literally no reason to bring one outside of tuning
need grips -> play blood
Do you all play multiples of the same type of character so you reroll to a fotm, or just continue as normal. I do think about it but it's exhausting and I'm happier just to make my dude as good as possible.
But I'm also in a stage of life I can't really spin up multiples as a just in case
Like taking BSV instead of ravager is respecing
If warrior is close to be strong enough to be meta, even considered. You know we in an unbalanced state.
Why? Because all we bring is damage. If damage is worth more than the whole kit of others, then there is a huge issue.
As such, making sure warrior never is meta is good for the game.
And rally, don't forget rally
Rally is so huge it’s definitely worth the global it takes to use it
prot warr utility actually underrated
I agree with funky kitty. We're one of the first classes of the game and it does make sense the DK and VDH would be top 3 because they're expansion classes
I think 2 point shockwave is very nice for overlaps, def underrated
Saves everyone in a pinch for healers too
More complexity should be rewarded with meta spot. Hero classes should naturally be better at the job.
Exactly
rally needs fixing for 5 man content, i dont think anyone here thinks otherwise
prot warr training wheels tank
doesnt mean that their points are invalid
Warriors are like going to a restaurant and you're unsure what you want so you order the chicken
Cow tongue tacos are too advanced for me I'll order the chicken taco
Ngl I read a lot of what people type on the forums and many warriors you do not often hear from do not actually want any more utility
they do not want any responsibility
they dont want to be lust guy
or do anything other than 'zug'
that is partially why we do not have any more and blizz knows this
It's prot warriors anonymous here,
Let us zug then
I’m one of those types
ya
a lot of people maybe even the unspoken majority of warr players want nothing to do with utility
That's why they should keep overal tank damage high. We're already babysitting
overall tank damage should be high yes
More people play tanks when damage is high
If Zugzug beats high skill gameplay, the game is not balanced. As such, if warrior do too good damage, and you consider bringing one over another class because of it... Warrior do need a nerf.
Mitigation tanking is boring, it had it's place. We now live in an era where we smash people up and bring friends along to help us not the other way around
I still think mitigation tanking is fun
im still having fun
and we will still be toward the top in dps
and lets be real we werent being invited to +12s or higher anyway
we basically in same situation
I like to do as much damage as possible when I tank
I don’t give a shit about how much self healing I did
Or how much damage I mitigated
You are naive if you don't think we will get another DPS nerf.
why
If warrior do enough damage to be considered, it is too strong.
relativey some tanks scale better than others
Cya on the other side
how's thane vs colossus looking right now? if I am a n00b
same way it did before
Same
Colo infinite damage
Just play colossus, it's WAY more fun 😄
I'm waiting for nimchip to snap
I am actually happy they did not nerf demolish
That is going a bit far, we do ok dam. But we are far from BDK actual uncapped dam.
Two days I've been more active here and fair play consistently answers through gritted teeth
BDK damage is pure RNG

its the same questions over and over lol
^
so how exactly does bdk do big damage?
they proc a blood beast at the start of a pull
what does blood beast do

It does damage 4head
stores a % of damage you deal and then explodes dealign that amoutn of damage - scales stupid well in AOE
oh interesting
15% chance on vampric strike, it procs fairly often .. but it only does giga damage if you proc it at the start of a big pull
You deathstrike on ST for millions of damage. On AoE you bloodboil for bloodbeast build up, with heart strike spam to get silly levels of haste
sounds kinda fun lol
It is
as a BDK main, it's fun ... warrior does more damage overall though if you have bad RNG : )
screw it let em have fun
My poor DK sat low level. I got the server first 85 on my Dk... Good times
Let's swap to bdk all, so it gets nerfed too
Combined, we would be 9% representation
Hell yeah
BDK has a 2H sword, ofc it should do mroe damage : )
big true, raid cool, m+ just not great IMO
What about 2h prot?
Did I read it right that there was 10k vdh runs in 12-17 keys lol
Everything else languishing
VDH is very popular, as they got dam, utility and survivability in the form of self sustain
We got dam
It is the way to go if you want to be in control and buff the mage comps
I really think vdh needs to lose a sigil. Yes literally remove a sigil from them. Let them pick which it is. (not a just damage one)
I want the other ability next to spell block to be viable where you smash them back for X dmg
That would be funny actually
Or they could just stop gutting other tanks
I like the thought of just smashing them with your shield as a f you
they could make utility accessible for other people ... like mass grip for DK which is pretty much untalentable
I am going to be sad when nerf hits, and my damage gets chunked. I will spend the rest of the patch trying to reach back to that point
... It always feels ass
Make stuns and fears irrelevant forms of CC and then wonder why silence sigil is all of a sudden wicked good
wild most people dont even talk about vdh also got chaos nova and a way to break out of snares lol

oh ok
they need to dumpster that spec
Atleast
As long as it's not VDH or guardian on top we are good ... guardian is the most borign spec i nthe game I swear
Get a bunch of 3k io bears pressing 2 buttons zzzzz
12% aoe nerf hurts but at least the playstyle isnt changing
honestly idk why people think prot warrior wont be invited past 12's. Mans on the front page of raider.io - people will see that think we're meta kekw
we may drop to lowest played tank after today
the community is already calling us very dead
meanwhile
servers up btw
the 2nd lowest played tank has a bear in the front page
🙂
of raider.io
think about that
yeah and i think bear is actually decently strong too
vegan is ALWAYS top even when bear isn't meta
its the same with holy pally being on the front page
GL with your vault us buddies
if youre a good player you can play what you want
The performance of the whole Team is impressive
Wish I had taken a screenshot of the guy in my guild saying that Vegan is braindead and carried by his team 
First week dabbling in prot what spec do you guys open your vault in? so use to playing fury but opening in arms lol
its a team game
They are insane players it is logic they are top charts the first weeks before meta gap in keys
still arms unless you need/1h or shield
literally why i just came here haha
As prot until wep+shield (tome trinket)

then flip a coin
dont open vault
what if im a secret shopper here to test if yall actually know what your talking about and already read the pin
ah sorry Happy i was being sarcastic 😦 I'm just adding to Nims pain
You never know
thank you tho
we should pin this image
im waiting for the best time to ask him how bad the nerfs were
and if i should be MT now
People not sarcastic compatible are more numerous than the others
Guys, should we play VDH now?
real tanks play warior tank
Your friends will leave you if you don’t
you're missing the trick you're called funkykitty
Question - Does No Stranger to Pain node in the colossus tree stack? This is the one that Damage prevented by each use of ignore pain is increased by 20%. Can you get this to 100%?
It means when you press ignore pain it does 20% more absorb
^
i was telling my buddy i was doing 1.4 mil overall last night with the nerf id prolly be around 900k with a hard guess
Monk healer damage
thats not how % works
thats what I thought.... the way its written made me think it stacked but never saw anything stacking for it 🙂
Oh shit
1.4m minus 10% = 900k
Warrior math
is a myth ring worth taking with versa mastery on it
😂
its not 10 percent?
900k is no joke monk healer damage in cinderbrew
1.4m minus 13% is 900k, happy?
wat u guys take my vault suck ass
no i mean like i thought they were taking a bunch of dam off revenge
like 25-30 percent
i gotta look again i just woke up my brain aint working
☕
Only suck ass if your gloves and chest already are 678
I'd be taking the chest and using a catalyst on it ( I still haven't even gotten a hero track chest)
both my hands and chest are myth already. LOL
do i take a myth ring with vers mast
jsut awful stats
In that case, rip
this ring suk ass
sorry they took 20 percent off revenge with the reduction on one against many and practiced strikes
I will use my joker card and not answer on what you should take on that dog vault
lol
I guess sim
Spare Tire for the transmog obv
would it be crazy to take hero boots im still using champion boots
So all responsibility is out of you
6 coins for 1/2 crafted item?
i actually considered shield for trannsmog
There is no half spark at the vendor in TWW
yeah I actually maybe would of done that
No? I am sure there is 
They added one in S1 like halfway through the season iirc
I know because I bought a spark instead of a socket on accident one time
Currently rocking a sacbrood and a champion track sigil
Happy lying again, shame on him
Also still have S1 boots
to the sims with ye
As long you don't take the pig liver, you are golden
No, because I could have a 2h wep on my dk so I checked if he sells it,
The vendor is next to the vault you can check
anyone know if the trinket changes were substantial?
They were about 20%
Both sigil and viscera are garbage so either the cuffs or maybe radio if it sims well for you
Cuffs do have haste/crit so they are nice to have, esp if they are preloaded with a socket
ToL or bis ring ? I already hit -10% penalty cap for haste
Tome
They are crit/haste, with speed and a socket
I have the revved up vambraces tho
champion scrapfield to replace my hero signet of the priory, or myth seaforium pacemaker to replace my hero seaforium pacemaker
Ofc tome
mythic pacemaker, youll never see that again
good point. Took that one
at myth track?
No hero
i opened my vault as arms warrior 
I normally do that honestly. I have a crafted weapon, and I'll craft a shield. At least opening as arms I can get alt spec gear if my prot rolls are bad
I am simming Signet of Priory vs ToL, I only tank in m+, so I feel Signet is more well-rounded
Considering shield or neck really, any tips? I only really pug normal for Gally shield, but I haven't used my 3 sparks yet to craft and that Neck is looking nice.
Any Myth shield is BiS AFAIK
I would go for shield, shield is the most important for shield tanks
Myth shield if it was me
Even if you crafted a 675?
What did you all end up crafting?
Me weapon and shield
yes which is why we say if your likely to get one in the vault or from content
dont craft 1
Makes sense, appreciate all your input!
then the wrists are worth
I made a neck week 1, the pool of necks this season is super shit and everyone is fighting over like, 4 drops
Good idea
I simmed on 5 target cleave, 1.5 min, signet does more dps than ToL
Is shield a better craft than 1h?
Yes. Shield is the most important item

nothing 
lol nice
Did you use the APL that optimizes Tome usage?
APL ?
It is better if you are unlikely to get a myth shield from content elsewhere.
or craft one
I am going to go with that you didnt then.
Basically, the sim doesnt know how to use the tome optimally, by keeping it in DPS mode, so it is going to sim worse.
hot diggity
ooo
can you teach me how to sim ToL ?
Praise be to Nome
Does raidbots not SIM circe's circlet right? I got a 2nd myth track ring from vault and it still wants me to keep my circlet over having 2 myth track rings at 665
it sims it right
Only way I’d get either is from M+ vault luck since I don’t raid ^^
Well, how many 10s are you doing? and do you have a Hero Shield maxed? and do you open vault in Prot Spec? Shields arent uncommon, but you do have to open vaults in Prot spec, which some people do not do.
yes
If there is a reasonable chance that you are going to get one from vault, some other piece
Its a good call to open in prot spec this season because of tome
and because dps trinkets drop for prot spec too
at least the good ones
only reason why you wouldnt open as prot is if you already have a myth shield
who the fuck shit in my vault
catching a giga nerf and a shit vault same week smh blizzard
And for Tome fishing, no?
sure
Blizzard: Vengeance are overpower, LET'S NERF WARRIOR.
ayo?
also my ST sim went down nearly 9%, 5% my ass
gz!
Which spec do you guys prefer to play next to prot for dps ? Fury or Arms ?
(or both ?)
That trinket looks mighty juicy
Oh that makes sense
Anyone elses demolish bug them out on world boss?
The sims are saying to take the Vers/Mast ring, the arms sims want the amplifier. This vault makes me sad
10 per week or so. Heroic shield isn’t maxed because I was waiting for vault or craft. I open in arms usually. Seems shield is best craft option tbh
ok I am still low gear for my tank. And a crazy myth ring dropped in my vault no haste but a bunch of crit and mastery with 1200 leech on it. Should I take that over hero pants?
wtb myth tier 😦
and I thought my vault was bad
shouldn't this be 100 and 70%?
sure, but unless nobody in your raid wants crit/haste you're probably not getting it soon
I'd take that insta
I'll go under 15k haste though without a rik/brewery neck
you can then craft your other ring and do the recraft thing to have two 675 rings
and yet
Surprise extra nerfs?
we did it with our monk, and it didnt
so be our guest to try
safe to say if it doesnt work with 1h it doesnt work with rings but who knows
It doesn't work on 1 handers for sure. I droped 50k gold getting my weap recrafted and it did not work
my best craft rn is a ring so I'm going to as soon as I get my 60 crests this evening
I'll report back
tried it 6 times just to be sure
my dk is a jc so ezpz
for science
so try with your ring at your own risk
yeah we tried it like 2-3 times and it didnt
let us know if it works with rings though
I will
the circe thing was unfixed but im sure everyone did it already
I need to craft it anyways to fix my haste after I take this dogwater chest from my vault
yeah in theory the cyrce's thing is the same mechanism
yeah idk what to do with my 3rd craft, i could up my belt or do boots
just going over loot tables to see
if not ring I was gonna do boots, I have socketed hero waist and belt already, and cape craft just isn't worth it yet
no haste/crit belt from the raid
yeah you'd have to vault one
no haste/crit boots either heh
vault flood waist, or vault ML boots
I'm not in a hurry xD
and these
I'd love to ditch cyrce's so I can stop having to remember to snapshot it, so I'm just gonna go ring
need to decide if I want to drop ascension for focusing lens
Do we have a speed cap?
too bad can't dawnthread ring
I can tier this right
sure
you wont lose the speed on it
I hope the speed carries over
it does
theres a preview too
Kk I'll check when I'm home
I'm actually shocked. Three trinkets. Three. How do you get three of the same fucking slot in a vault?
Can someone check if colossal might is really nerfed more than promised? Im not in home
Least worst one was Signet, so that's what I'll be running I suppose
hero eye of kezan is pretty good
anyone hit a key yet and see how the nerfs feel?
catalyst'd belt also has decent stats btw
I will craft the neck too, still rolling with sikran 639
why is colossal might only giving 5% per stack instead of 7%
Sounds like blizzard did an oopsie
seems they cut the bonus in half by accident
SO Tide of Battle nerf was bigger, so either they made an oopsie on the change, or an oopsie on the dev note. Lets hope its the former so they'll fix it
is a mythic signet worth taking to upgrade out of hero cinderbrew stein? they are listed as equal tier trinkets on wowhead, I sim more dps but dunno if thats better than survivability
post on the forums i guess
no signet is pretty bad for us
i would not take signet out of vault
and i wouldnt run stein either
theyre both very mediocre
if youre gonna post on the forums be specific, the 7% (which you guys are reporting is 5%) is "Tide of Battle"
dont say colossal might only
Saaaame
They lied
you need to be specific that the passive is tide of battle, not colossal might
is their a resource that would help me figure out if Jasper Diamond at champ track is better than a Myth Track ring? I tried to us AskMrRobot and I don't trust it
thats what i said
^ this
missed your message 🙂
Sims are what you go by, which is Raidbots for the casual user
no real crazy people will run sims on their own computer
There's a downloadable client iirc
clip it and ship it
literally said from day1 that i personally would not run stein
I know
I just enjoy beating this dead horse let me have this
I just got nerfed and someone left their turd in my vault
my sim was 1.733m last week and it's 1.59m today
btw it could be a tooltip error too
I cry, that's not only 5%
I've been personally attacked
correct
so... we will see
do some math will ya
myth tracked helm / shoulders over house of cards hero?
either way report it
It's more than a 1 DPS loss
cards
beep boop
anlaki
unless you rat out a cards from raid this week

blizzard took 3.4812% away from me specifically
good belt
maybe you werent in execute build

in execute build you lose less dmg because SS is less
I was not in execute build in either
that makes me feel uneasyh
yeah
lol same
squeamish
GASP
good
TFW tanky build gets bigger nerf than DPS build
it wasnt terrible
some mind bleach
but was uneasy
cringe
a dude using a deli slicer on his head
I have used the search button extensively so please no flame ❤️
Best M+ Trinkets combo is Tome and Pacemaker yeah?
hes coming onto you @cerulean tusk
where bot
but both of those are good trinkets
raidbot
ty
get your info and then sim vs other trinkets itll do it all for you
we need Mr Milchick to pen a strong worded letter to Blizzard about this preposterous Tide of Battle tooltip
I second this notion
Is modular plating trinket cheeks now?
Super nice blessed with myth track in vault 🙏🏼
First week i did only one 10 in war and got this super stonks trinket. I almost punched the screen
Is it better to drop ravager or indomn for battering ram? Finally got 4 piece lol
Ram for aoe. Ravager for st
