thats fine, the nerfs are in the weekly build, lower dps is expected
hoursss
is this week our 3rd cata charge or next?
Gods work
kind of
I got no charge
I had 3 last week I think?
ahhh kk
We’re still g
Still top ST tank by a bit of variance and 2nd in aoe to BDK, which we kinda already were outside heavy burst
i think we need the "really, right in front of my X" meme but the x is the pin 😄
Is that sim showing lower dps with swords up more then without for some reason?
I am wondering if our Custom API got kicked too. These are pre nerf, post nerf, and APL
that's what I;m thinking too
wdym by custom apl getting kicked out? Also, 100k is large enough that it shouldn't be variance just of the amount of sims ran. Can you get a full html report for these? That shows the variance in there
Yeah, it can’t be possible it’s lower because trinket didn’t get nerfed, nor did our auto attack speed.
Maybe, 100k in 5mil isn’t a massive variance.
100k is only 2% of 5m too, well within normal bounds
I can run them all weekly again or weekly/nightly
I feel that nightly tomorrow would have better returns from today's
sounds good guys
latest
i usually sim latest
weekly is fine though
just keep in mind changes are pushed at different times
heroic house of cards from weekly dung box, good?
Is there a script to run dropimizer on crafted for different stat combos?
yes
guys
the wowhead guide
has a WHOLE SECTION on trinkets
it was a brag bro 😦
Guys, you know what trinky I should use?
platinum plating all the way
too many "is thane better than colossus questions" today
well IS IT?
With the nerfs, is thane better?
i like bursting more anyway
mean while im just trying to figure out whioch of the C/D tier trinkets are worth using
I dont care what them guides say, colossus has 5% size increase and that's BIS in my books anyday
ngl im 99% sure that the size increase isnt real or is way less that 5%

it's hard to tell on my dwarf
same
Hoy, americano pwarriors. How is your DPS looking?
Chug some noggenfogger up x10 then slap avatar. It's there.
i get more of a size up from Noggenfogger select up than from col
anyone have an up to date season 2 stoneform wa
Show meter

@valkyirrr
im on a kul tirean and i cant notice it
snitches get stitches funky
im working atm
i did some crap afterwards :p
well
in meetings but you know what i mean
Hello, I would like to know what is the best tank build to do heavy DPS in raids? Thank you.
uhh go to warcraftlogs
if only
rankings
so how bad are we now with the changes can we still break 2m overall in a 10? 🙂
this one
but its like a colossus jugernaut build
youre welcome
You could break that with 639gear, so yeah
pretty much
next question
we need a bot that just tells all these doomers its all gunna be okay
?Disrupting Shout? I mostly play with 2dps/1 healer and a pug dps, I still find the talent a must pick. I just hit 2500 and it just seems like people struggle with interrupts as a whole (could be a lot of overlap of CDs I suspect) Does anyone else pick that talent or am I wrong in picking it on that tier?
You clearly did not see BDKs
i pick it most the time
i know my dh feels like it has babyhands
So, where are my meters showing us doing good dam?
if your playing with 2 dedicated dps. you need to org you kicks better
i only take Dis shout on affix week
Its always a nice to have
Affix week? There are no affixes
the orb affix that needs to be kicked
?
its nice on those packs of mobs that just start casting at same time to group
Ok so I got particularly bad vault options except one (Footbomb Championship Ring Myth 1/6 Haste/Mastery) I know mastery is the "worst stat" for prot, but from what I'v read it's on the guides its not that far behind the other stats, and my rings are 1/6 Hero (crit/haste) 2/6 hero (haste/vers/speed) respectively is that ring an upgrade? I can't find any kind of stat weighting for it in terms of survivability.
its not badge butyoud way prefer crit haste ring
i love when people surround their items with brackets and parenthesis, like we cant read
but i mean if your vaults garbo your vaults garbo
haste is good
and include the stats!
sorry mb XaLaThAs BaRgAin....
What dat
talent sucks
be nice choco 😦
its true, and we do need to do better. I just feel like some dps are stubborn. I played with some higher rated players and sometimes I find myself not using mine as much because people are getting the spells. I dunno sometimes it feels like dps aren't worried about it as much and I am bitching too much lmao
the talent is subpar
it doesnt suck, its placement just sucks. Its competition is just better most of the time
Would any one have any recommendations besides the cloak to choose from the vault
Raidbots.
thats a sim angle lmao
its proly the cloak tho
that vault looks almost as bad as mine did
😦 yeah its a dps loss for sure and I assume in better groups and most weeks interrupts are a non-issue vs average pug group.
trinkets are prolly bigger short term gain tho, but you gonna be looking to replace them, really depends on how you wanna play it
I simed it cloak was up by 15k on single and 6 target didn't know about the trinket
to me that means it sucks
Ngl, it stings extra when ppl decline you for a "13 cant deplete" key
It just got that extra ouchie
at the end of the day, imo an AOE kick wont make or break a key. Now haveing your aoe taunt on CD because you had to use it for a kick might just brick your key
Got the mechagon crit haste sword on myth track today from vault 🙏🙏
gz
Is reverb basically just a haste boost and that it?
yes
Is there a too much haste point for us, or is this just a sim yourself bait
and we love haste
once your GCD has reached 0.75, you gone too far
no and yes
pick the cloak
not the hero tack trinket
reverb radio aint all that
thanks for the opinions on disrupting shout, I will probably keep it because I have trust issues lol
you do you. If it makes you time keys then it works
why you gotta say that in frount of the best trink i have atm 😦
Nome, why ppl not invite me? Plz respond
your immersive SCK wa doesn't work
it def works
true. I just wasn't sure if others had issues of people not interrupting at least important cast in their groups. It just makes the healers job so much harder.
just tried it, it works
might be your edit lol
Do people ever use Battering Ram in keys and then swap out bloodsurge for instigate --- I'm not really sure on the amt of rage gen
But seems like a good feedback loop of potentially proccing more SSs which is more SC.. etc
u should be playing BR the moment u get 4pc
and bloodsurge is worse rage gen and instigate in general
Yea I just got it and I'm looking at talents
so no dont do that
okie okie cool
snagged this from the 4 mythic dungeons, ❤️ haste
is heavy repercussions not necessary for maintining 100% shield block uptime?
or does prot just not care about 100% uptime as much now
the 4p keeps up shield block very easy
i c
New to retail/tanking, is 620 too low for entry Mythics?
nope
Ty ty
Any opinions on what to pick here?
id take jastors
Can you do the first skip in ToP with mind soothe only?
yes
Noice, gonna try mini boss skip tonight too 🙂
Yeah, I was kinda leaning towards that as well. The trinkets seemed decent as well, but I suppose the ring would be the most difficult to obtain. Thanks!
this nerf fucking sucks
is prot paying world first tax on this 5% nerf
5%? Sure, lets call that RWF tax
Rest of it is "you are a warrior and doing too good for our likeing" tax
We had a strongpoint in m+, that is not allowed
last week I had a rookery 10 at 2.3m overall on WCL, this week avg of two 10 rookery is 1.9m overall
400k down the shitter
Good sample size
see i'm confused cause I've been maining my bdk this season and it slams just as hard it feels like
was warrior doing that good that it needed to be looked at before venge dh?
Bdk is not as easy as pwarr
But also pwarr definitely was doing more than vdh
And pwarr single target was an outlier
aldrachi vdh dps is meh
Plus less rng reliant than bdk
Fel scarred is still well behind pwarr
I see I didn't know it was doing super good st as well
Well idk about this week
Yes, BDK pumps equally as hard. No, it wasnt a necessary nerf.
It is just we are warriors, so we get nerfed. It is how it always is.
I feel like San ST has to be similar though? And it's not that much harder
Die rat
It’s rng
ok you have canned fish tax
San ST isn't
where is it!
Blood beast is so little of your dmg on ST
Pwarr still 100k above Sanlayn on sprocket (the only ST fight this raid)
Prob never will be, it is the only thing making BDK usuable
Tell that to Stix
I'm a m+ brained player so I'm only talking from that view 😭
Okay well it’s a single target boss fight so
?
You said ST
ye ic though
What is your point Nish?
That pwarr st was an outlier, not neck and neck with BDK as was asserted above
anyways tanks should be allowed to have fun (do damage) blizzard bad
Bdk likely now will be the outlier
yeah
But I’m not John blizzard I don’t control how bad they are at balancing
seems like it
So you take someone elses statement, then pull it over mine. Aight.
?
Or you gonna tell me in m+, as is the context of the convo, BDK and Pwarr ST isnt on a similar powerlevel?
alright you 2 need to sort it out in a 2h tanking vs bleed support challenge
Question: Do I take these gloves and turn them into tier (avoidance bonus)
or hero pants and turn them into tier
The only thing I said to you is that Bdk is good on Stix bunkjunker
Bleed support clears
I would not disagree?
they called me bunkjunker in highschool
Dont want context, but ok
funky r u ok
Not at all
we love u
oh dam
time for a break, Pwarrior deadge
blizz will give another aura buff to pally and call it a day
What are you supposed to do on 2nd boss of rook? Specifically whatever bs randomly puts arrow on me and makes me big
cry about being a melee
the answer is in your tier lists
bump
So NA fellas, how u feeling the nerf ? Noticable much?
I got hero pants in vault so its either turn those gloves into tier or pants
it is (are they off limits?)
no, i just dont care too much about them
haha
I looked at tier list didn't see
sadge
sim angle
is that all you got in the vault?
its probably gonna be pants
bigger item budget
depending on what youre upgrading from
its hot pototo covid
arrow on your head? you got covid
it auto passes to closest person
dps should not get it twice
it jumps 4 times
Feels the same, AOE we took a hit, rest of the dps just have to zug harder now
so make sure you go next to whoever has the arrow, then pass it to someone, then take it back
You can feel it, but you are still pumping so it's not really a miss. We were doing a LOT of damage before.
How to prevent dos from getting twice
they cant be closest to whoever has it
its a them issue
if you have it just move away from them as best you can, but you cant really babysit them there
my prot dps cinderbrew +10 drop from 2,5 to 2,08
that seems fair, now you do lower DPS than my 645 BDK
did we swap talents at all for M+ build as a result of nerf?
ST still seems good though at least!
why the fuck did they have to make drums so expensive
can't fit a lust in my premade cause no one wants to play any of the lust classes
looks like dks have taken the damage throne now
they got much better utility than we do
obviously blizzard listened
im joking of course
trying to guess the next conspiracy 🙂
Feel like they need to make rallying cry better, give it the boosted treatment when in a group
we can all agree on that
like bump it to 30% or 25 at least
Not sure how that would help us in any way, but it would be neat
just dont bring it, take something else instead
I understand, i just think it could use some love
There is no world where warrior gets love
Is wowhead updated for trinket tuning?
Even the Sims not change after tuning?
no they are still all utterly swamp ass
why should they, dmg proc still suck
But some suck and little more than others
just farm floodgate and priory for the trinkets and never worry about them again
Like that pure defensive shield trinket from some m+ from bfa don't remember which
I see some trinkets in a+ tier
Noggenfogger is simming crazy high for me
27 runs holy shit
When i look here i see some higher on tier list
Thank you for pointing out where the S and the F tier are, appreciate it mate
Ur welcome 🙂
Ok it sounds like the meta is to sim and not blindly look at tier list for correct choice. It's super important i be fully optimized to deplete +10 dfc
correct, but you can also just run a ton of floodgates and priories and get the 2 BiS trinkets
I dislike flood gate
trinket tuning only affect direct damage trinkets tbh
so
i dont think they will move up or down
sim angle
In ST a D tier hero trinket outsims a max myth S tier trinket for me
dangers of using lists
which trinket
Noggenfogger
It's a ST sim in my m+ build, but still
is there a haste cap to aim for
was checking r.io for reference towards gearing and i see the top like 3 CN guys using slightly different stat prios between crit/vers/haste assumed it was due to some softcap
its their crafteds
you do what the sim tells ya, it's all minute differences in the end
I think I spent 50k gold recrafting last season for a 30k aoe DPS gain
yeah i dont know if it'll be consistent
seems like sim bait
noggenfogger isnt even in this list
noggenfogger mob can die
🙂
sometimes forgets to attack
oh wait here it is
and just does nothing
i cant imagine that noggenfogger (1615 crit) out dpses pacemaker (5188 str, ~1700crit avg)
The little pirate does fat dmg
especially bcs pacemaker lines up with your dps cds everytime
Oh, so like when my ravager decides to chase a bat up a wall on Broodtwister
ye kinda
good thing I had a myth 1h locked in already, sim bait almost hooked me
tome and pacemaker are such good trinkets its crazy
my dps in m+ skyrocketed after i got em both
it FEELS like a 20% dps increase compared to my old trinkets, idk how much it actually is. tomes onhit without the crit factored in does like 3.5% of my overall dps in a dungeon and its only 658 atm
is mechano-core sim bait then?
floodgate is a fun dungeon but I'm already getting traumatized by what the pugs are capable of butt pulling at this point
yeah the bombs just get pulled every time lol, i just accept it at this point
maybe I should've taken the trinket so I won't have to farm lol
do yall use spear or roar in keys?
spear in ToP/workshop, roar on the others
ty
are either of these trinkets worth taking myth track? heard some people say the mud is good
I do need a myth helm too though
okay great thanks 🙂
Can the roulette wheel be Big Haste Small Crit and big crit small haste?
Or is it just locked to one?
Oh jeez, so BiS stats on that ring is 1/4 x 1/3 chance.
Has there been any of big crit little haste?
unfortunately got a big 2h, but red button apparently buffed/sims high and devotion sims so low now. do i take button or a mythic track legs?
already planning my vdh comeback
how do i get lots of warbound leather
to send over
you do like 4 delves and get more gear than any amount of warbound shit
delves on a fresh 80?
no balls
is colossus m+ hosed? Time to swap to thane again?
no and still does more damage than thane
time to hit the sims
yeah when i simmed, thane is a 15% dps loss
In thane i feel waaaaay more under control on keys than colosus tho
opinion
legs
I heard that the nerf from 10% to 7% was actually to 5% or at least implemented that way earlier today. Was it l? And has it been fixed?
Weirdddddddd
but at 10 stacks KINDA comes out at ~70%
so tooltip bug?
1ty
How the hell do they do that? Lmao, gotta love spaghetti
any idea why tome of devotion is simming so low?
Did you put the custom apl from the pins?
cuz youre not using the apl that min-maxes around it
no i dont intend to put in the min-max APL into base sim
cuz only knowers should sim with it
if people dont know how to play the trinket
its not good
if you do know it is good
so if you want to sim it correctly, you use the custom
Honestly it’s really simple. How do people not use it right?
how many players do you think have read a tooltip in their lives
its not even that
the trinket doesnt tell you 50% of what it does
so how are people supposed to find out unless theyre curious
I'd wager the tooltip doesn't even change when you put it in the other mode
No it does
I'm impressed by that tbh
But ^^^
or dont even press on cd
and then expect it to just magically work
this trinket needs some modicum of thought
please tell me you just learned this
such a good lil edgey trinket
lol maybe :shifty_eyes:

I probably read that, went “neat” then never read it again tbh
so it goes
right along the lines of tome
forget what?
Who knows
how many going over to vdh
Watch, nome or someone else mentions this in 6 months and I’ll learn it all over again.
The joy of learning
never
i played exclusively prot warrior from the start to finish of shadowlands, there's no balance state they can throw at me
What about df
Blizz team cracks knuckles, picks up the "Turn Prot into a DPS spec" hammer
well yeah i played it there too, but we weren't considered dumpster tier by the community in DF
I've got Thane simming slightly above SUS
simming 1 patchwerk probably
how many targets
If you're not bottom tier community perception, are you even playing prot warrior?
This
If you got 0 crit on gear thane will sim higher ye
Colossus requires crit
You're not really playing prot war until your average pug is amazed you lived a pull involving more than one pack
ah thank you
what is the preferred aoe sim fight style
I've started a compilation of pugs glazing me
Generally we don't
I've gotten glazed once, but I also only full pugged once
Received 3 friend requests...
Sadly gotta pass on that
Do we get another crafted piece this week?
I'll accept if they're a healer
Ye
I want to be Nome's friend
Nah, I don't accept pugs tbh
Cuz like, I play with title players mostly
And Hof raiders, so randoms will never get invited
He's gotta get carried through his insane shenanigans somehow
They'd just be a name on a list, harsh as it is
Ngl even the rare occasion I've added people, I've put notes, and then I forget who they are anyway
Of course my notes are very specific like "ret pally from that one time"
Yeah
I recently deleted a dude who I added during pre-season 1 in bfa
Like, we never played again
Except that 1 evening
Rip that guy
So like xd
Fair lol
i need someone to invent something that mutes bluetooth speakers
ok let me be specific
really loud bluetooth speakers on a tuesday at 7pm
that i can hear through my headset
not all of them 😉
Noise cancelling headphones
I think that's what a paddle is for
Because that sounds like it deserves a paddlin'
Knock on their door, ask to see those crazy speakers, take a shit on them right in front of them to establish dominance
hmm is it better to replace the champ tier shoulders with heroic shoulder tier or heroic helmet tier with myth tier helmet
Also did everyone else get the new discord ui/interface rollout?
Haven't been on desktop discord yet today
Must be a trial/test group then
Myth
oh there it is, its darker
Generally they don't release to everyone at once though and I have never gotten one of the limited rollout things before
thats what I thought. Thanks for confirming
OH I FUCKING HATE THIS
Oh no luerce is madge
I saw that, decided to hit the funny green update button
just go grey
this is feel bad zone
doesnt seem too bad
I use a theme anyway so if it's just coloration then I don't think it'll matter to me
oh
this text is for ants down there
yo guys fellow prot warrior here, are we dropping warrior now?
no i cant unsee it
and your profile section at the bottom left is just fucking there
If you're a true prot warrior, you never drop prot warrior. You must choose now your path.
Ye instead of 3.5mil overall ill only do 3.1mil
It's not separated; it just hovers over everything
ofc. time to go bear
Pwar dead
fuck it i was a prot warrior with thunderfury on classic
nobody is gonna stop me
That's my boy/girl
classic was like 3 years go lol
5 actually
Nimchip played it
i also played vanilla

c:
Me too, a little bit
i was 5 years old on vanilla
I was 12 uwu
Yeah but I'm old as fuck
washing cars
Gonna be 37 this year 
Was 20 yrs old working for an ISP in launch of classic wow. Took my PC into work as I had the keys to the office. Played it on the projector lol
ok this guy is ancient
i cant remember how old i was
Maybe I'll die soon. That'd be nice
tells us tales of the yesteryear, elder
Anywho, 40 min drive home activate
well you see son, we used to spin a wheel to put numbers on a telephone
Still have that PC
56k connection
monster 3d gang lets go
I'm only 20
is it worth crafting 675 shield with another spark? I'd replace a normal version of gallywix. Or should I just wait for a heroic gallywix?
gilded shield > hero gally
675 shield is better than heroic gallywix shield, up to you if you’re likely to see a myth ilvl shield elsewhere
ilvl on shield > all
I suppose I can get a myth track shield in m+ but what else would I spend my spark on, bracers eventually?
👍
after nerfs are we still colossus?
not sure what this is for i just got home and asked a question
Does anyone know the rough breakpoint where I should craft duskthread over dawnthread?
I'm not familiar with how to apply embellishments to a sim
https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/garrosh/ilyamurometz I'm running a sim but if anyone has advice I'd be welcome to it 🙂
add both of them, then you can sim
thank you, never knew that existed!
no problem
Is it ever worth taking bitter immunity for this weeks xalatath affix?
Last season I just victory rushed it and it was fine but idk if anythings changed since
Question about Embelishments, i'm seeing alot of warriors running ascendance is that the better option this tier?
no
threads are slightly better but embellishments are overall so tiny
that people who crafted weapon early for whatever reason slapped ascendance on it
i watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFrLNgYbPVY&pp=ygUHdGV0dGxlcw%3D%3D and he said pwar was mega nerfed. did it get mega nerfed?
This week in M+ has brought some interesting class tuning and a potential shake up in the M+ meta game. There were also people who got the M+ title that probably shouldn't have, calling into question the integreity of the game.
You should watch me live on Twitch:
▶ Stream https://www.twitch.tv/tettles
▶ Discord https://discord.gg/hhFJcRBN...
without a doubt yeah
yea prot war dead. move to Brew
not convincing. i know brew sucks
Community spreading anti-prot warr propaganda as usual
i cant wait for next week when the doomers have all done VDH/Druid
and its just vault Qs all day
we're more about vault complaints over here
Ive had to turn down heroic mechano core and funhouse lens for 2 weeks in a row now
for what
myth chest/1h
it's truly unconscionable
could be worse, you could have had to take tokens this week like me
I just want a seaforium pacemaker..
i traded mine to a dps in my reg party. He was 37 runs in without it
Man.. isn't that thing like s teir for prot?
sure
its S teir for every one, but at the end of the day it does more dps on the dps
its my lazy ass s tier
nah never in a pug
or a guildy
i a wall without it, they lose like 400k dps overlal without it
Oh forsure. I'll give my buds Anything. At this point I'd pay someone some gold to trade it to me. Haha
fortunately i got it early so i couldnt trade it
ask @dusky canopy
he was in the run lmao
and i still feel bad about it
that happened with the priory signat for me lol
i got it 4 times week one before i could trad eit
my regular dps were crying
Trade restrictions in this game are so weird..
Idk.. Just sucks not being to give something to someone if you don't need it. I've had very bad Trinket luck and I finally got some pants.. broke into the 660's today
it only sucks if youre hyperfocusing stats from the get go
when you should be hyperfocusing ilvl over everything
getting declined from +12s
Is colossus still the move or is thane worth it?
"Tome of Light’s Devotion damage effect no longer triggers for non-tank specializations."
😦
fuck im an idiot
you right super dum
and now i feel bad for people that got it in their vaults too many colossus or thane questions
thats kind of a garbage good change from blizzard's part
why
why indeed hello darkness my old friend
kinda hurts more than the prot nerf tbh i misread
dps specs were cheesing it when it clearly says its a tank trinket
are you reading it wrong
want an alt, what m+ tank plays the "most similar" to pwar?
fuck i gotta farm it still
I mean bears also use rage and prot paladins also use a shield so maybe those two I guess
wtf is this shit on mobs before last boss rook
did u have shield block down or something
im reading it wrong, ty for being correct
Any ideas?
would take the trinket I guess unless u need a shield?
oh, my bad, someone asked about a tank alt earlier
all good
idk those are unbelievably low ilvl so whatever sims best
well my trinkets are the trinket that drops out of cleft and a WQ trinket
so not high or nothing
and my shield is 597
dont think it maters
whatever you want
if youre serious about the alt, you can just farm delves or 7s
and you can craft a shield with the free story mode crest
ok so im confused here
icy saids go thane but before season started people said go colossus
I have a dh because I really like veng 😦
for M+
Gearing my prot though, might make the arms weapon first tho now >.>
both are good
Is the full damage build basically dedge at this point?
hero track 9001 vs champ track funhouse lens
i think i run the scrapfield to make my ilvl look good
Something like that.
scrapfield is good
how bad of a craft is boots
doesnt seem any different from ours, except you swap indom with battering ram when you have 4pc
thats just the build, not a full damage build
and no its not dead, thats literally what we're using
not bad if you need the ilvl and embelish
well, cool beans then
Leveled as that and liked it a lot, didn't really research it because I wasn't 80 yet.
show of force->aoe kick or tl swap is prob a bit less of a loss now
but
idt it’s good, but I see quite a few people doing it
right you just swap 3 talents for utility or whatever
SoF into Disrupting, Battering for BSV, Instigate for Bloodsurge, thats it there's very little variation
everything else stays the same
I just need to see a good clip of a prot warrior going ham post nerf tbh. Does Pika still stream?
and no indom for any of them
no idea
watch Sense
it wont change a lot post nerf
just slightly lower dps
what's his channel? Sense isn't giving me anything
Thank ya.
is this week a spark week?
yes
is it better to craft for armor slots or jewelery (if dps gain)
On alts I just do some m0s and then spam 6s (for runed crests) and then 7-10 when I have enough ilvl

M0s are too hard 💀 at least plugging them
how
Ppl don't know the mechanics I guess
(i do pug them too)
At this point you have higher odds of running into casual players instead of people leveling their alts --- or just alts of casual players --- higher odds they haven't seen the content and... naturally... don't read the dungeon journal
Maybe I got unlucky but i had like 4 in a row where ppl just left
idk i was just saying i never step a foot in delves for gear bc it is not really time efficient compared to m+
is colosus still good after the little nerf it got today? or does mountain thane pull ahead in M+
sims suggest colossus is still higher m+ damage but the gap is smaller
you’d be forgiven for playing whichever you like better
the community at large has spread it's anti-warr fake news propaganda so we are basically the worst tank right now
lol
it's funny since only damage got touched
you know it's bad when peetko has viewers
That's funny shit right there
been getting nonstop declines since servers came up
I swear like halfway through DF wow youtube went from shit to tremendously shit.
I think the last good wow content i watched was this really wholesome mistweaver guide back in legion
all the useful stuff is on twitch nowadays.
at least for me, I get way more out of watching someone insane like critcake play over any guide.
that's how I got 99 parses back when i mythic raided in SL lol
We running thane or Colossus for raid now?
I was playing Collossus pre nerf just wasnt sure if its worth swapping now
the other part is
if people just want an excuse to play mountain thane
sure dude. do it. it does a billion more percents if you want it to
yeah i mean
thats quite alright
except most just go "ARE WE SWAPPING TO THANE?"
and i swear i answered "theres been no change" like 57 times today
no change meaning, if you wanna play thane go for it, but its still less aoe damage
i went with chip cause theres like 12 Nims in here
LOL
you know i've seen so many "thane now ?" today, i'm logging on my war to sim the difference lol
yea
is Big Red Button any good for us? its that or mythic shoulders.. or a ring..
kinda a shitty ring tho.. no?
vers / mast
yeah i wouldn't take a non-haste ring unless the rest of my gear had bonkers haste
and prob button not worth using..
razdunk's isn't a high tier trinket but it depends on what your other options are
havent simmed but ranked as C on wowhead
the shoulders replace hero..
prob gonna pick those
that's a safe option
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sHzogWqaQMSeV9kwdLt4sr
if you have 2 2handed weapons, col does 40% less than thane 
loll
so should we be swapping to thane?
lol jk jk
do you win a prize to be the 100th person to ask?
perhaps but, to be fair, i've lost count
5 minutes, thats a long 5 target sim
do i really need to look further 
i suppose not
My vault was three trinkets. Three. ._. Anyone know the odds on that? I feel like I just got bent over a barrel in the most statistically unlikely way ever.
better than 3 boots, or 3 necks
anyone got a WA that tracks the tier set buff?
if I currently have ascension on my main hand.. is it better to craft my shield with armor band.. or go for duskweave still?
are you planning to replace that weapon
Well only one of the trinkets are even usable, Signet. The others are C or below.
eventually if i get a mythic.. but not anytime soon since i dont raid mythic
unless i get lucky in vault
it's not that expensive to recraft your embellishes i guess
cause really the ascension was just on there since it was first craft and why not.. but in keys.. i feel like the vers is alot easier to play around vs trying to stay in combat
yeah you just either want 2x weave or ascension + band
so it depends on your other crafts
not that it's a huge deal, embellishes aren't that powerful
You can’t have 3 myth necks in the m+ row
If you’re running ascension may as well get band
Anyone got tips for priory? Have a decent handle on the other dungeons but that place chews me up for some reason.
not this season
which embelishments would you recommend for prot?
is our shield any more important than any other piece of armor?
Today's nerf makes my ending overall a sad panda.
What's the general consensus on the Eye of Kezan? I've seen conflicted math from different sources.
its bis for everyone
including us
it tends to drop off in keys if you dont manage it well though, kind of like anvil and signet from amirdrassil
anyone knows what's the soft cap por prot stats?
Ow, this nerf kinda hurts.
we dont care about soft caps
but i can give you the numbers
anybody see tome is simming very low on blood mallet now? worth changing?
ty
See I assumed Eye was BiS as well, but that isn't what sims are showing. Droptimizer shows a 0% increase over Tome/Viscera even at higher ilvl, and sims put Tome/Viscera ahead as well for me.
Does Eye sim strangely or something like that?
sitting in queue all night getting declined for 13-14s when you have all timed 12s really sucks, is it really just a reroll season?
run up your own key
i dunno what to take from vault: i have not crafted anything yet: have so far hero shield...no good weapon..old with ascendence...and old bracer, would you take hero weapon from vault with crit mastery or hero t-helm maybe i should craft weapon+shield? ^^
yeah guess thats the only option, figured sometimes its easier to get score via queueing up for keys i need
but i guess "tank shortage" just means "vdh shortage"
it's just always a numbers game when pugging, there are tanks out there with a higher score than you, a higher ilvl than you, or a more meta spec than you
Got this from dungeon weekly quest
hrrrm. first craft went to shield, second to bracers, got a mythic weapon.... where to send third craft .... boots, belt, or jewelry ... hmm
for me I did boots because it allowed me to outgrow runed crests
if you're not getting myth slots then hero tier is kind of your bis, can craft shield and weapon and another slot this week
yup that tank is only doing smaller content..so i take the hero *helm and craft shield+weapon..thanks friend 🙂
is eye of kezan total garbage for m+?
Depends on key and how well you can keep it up. Some keys have too much forced RP and it drops a lot.
The funny thing about this is prot warr is the most tanky tank or at least tied for a close second. Prot pally is technically the second best tank but its actually a wet piece of paper rn.
and the "utility" aspect of prot pally is not that great in this season, seldom spell bops that are extremely important and WoGs barely heal other people now so outside of 1min sac and your occasional spell bops its just less tanky and does less damage lol
Ya playing on prot warr vs alts I feel so tanky on prot but I also could just be bad at my alts lol
yeah i have pretty much every tank at 650+ and honestly my prot warrior feels the tankiest
and it does the most damage, even after the nerf. tho my blood DK is kinda close now
but literally cant get into 13-14s cause im not vdh lol
Then people will complain on Reddit about tank shortages XD
I wonder, when you guys say prot war is the tankiest --- are you comparing your overalls at the end of keys?
I wonder what other tanks see with the whole dmg taken - healing done = X
in the 12+ area, I think I'm usually around 350-400k?
Is it numerically just more tanky or is the damage smoothing of the class just making it feel more beefy than it actually is
Yeah same my bdk does more actually but it’s all dependent on blood beast procs
just feels like i can live any pull tbh, and none of the boss tank busters feel scary at all but on some of my tanks im kinda in panic mode if i dont have anything for a buster
prot war always has something, even if i just have to spam IP
Prot warr doesn't have the same HP yoyo-ing like other tanks.
For sure, I think our damage smoothing is very good
you just get fucked by dots and no self sustain if healer is dead
The first boss on priory is rough🙃
If healer is dead, DPS die before you. This is a healer's season
not if you go right
I feel like everytime I go right the dps can’t handle the mini boss haha
This nerf is depressing, feels worse than I thought it would.
Prot warrior is the tankiest because no other tank can handle phys damage as well as prot warrior and we’re in a season where white swings ate powerful. There are little scenarios that there is magic damage for us to be worried about but it can planned around and plus spell block is wicked OP
which keys/scenarios are you taking spell block for?
Agreed. I believe they over nerfed us on aoe. Single target is fine
and what talent are you flexing for spell block?
Rookery floodgate priory almost all of them can have one found
Spell block is amazing for last boss of theatre as well
you can just spell reflect every scythe, you dont need spell block on last boss?
The nails one. It's basically barely 1% of damage. And you have enough threat
Spell reflect doesn’t negate as much as spell reflect doesn’t block the scythe
the nails one?
You still take damage from it. With spell block you can completely block it or at least 90% it
they made scythe unreflectable
Spell block is extremely useful I love it
Tough as Nails
What talent other than spell block are you even taking over there
Yeah those talents are bad
I can see an argument for bolster if you don’t have 4p
But other than that there’s no point not to take it
Worst of the sb talents by far tbh
Yeah but it can fill a gap when you have no 4p and low haste
yeah im running bolster
Oh yeah don’t do that
Spell block is great for tons of tank busters
Especially in floodgate when there’s nasty overlaps
3/4 of the bosses all have magic tank buster that spell block can block
can’t block thunder punch though… smh…
You can’t? I swear I felt some DR from it but probably placebo
yeah i guess you get like 2 per boss depending on when you use it, so could be worth
Yeah you save on shield wall and spell reflect isn’t really a tank buster defensive in my opinion
so if one is switching from mountain thane to colossus, where do i fit demolish into my rotation?
I’d hardly trust it by itself
press it after all your opener CDs and then every time it’s up after that
On CD on pull and whenever it’s ag 10 stacks ideally with avatar and or demo shout
I feel like enduring alacrity or whatever is also really good on that side
You still die from the undead paladin holy dot in priory. Either healer needs to pump you, spam ignore pain or use spell block.
8% armour 8% stam and 2% haste
well yeah, but we take spell block to get there
Ye
Yes but every tanks struggles with that outside of maybe bdk
Prot warrior handles it better than prot pally ill tell y you what
I farmed the Cinderbrew bis plate chest (crit/haste) for 2 weeks. It dropped last night. Now I got Mythic tier piece chest from vault. Absolute pain
I'm curious how we stand with mountain thane in aoe now
Use Demolish on cooldown, spam shield slam and revenge, build stacks, reduce its cd, repeat. If you don't hit demolish when it's ready, you'll miss a lot of dps
I think someone said 15% worse than colossus
Try to have avatar ready before each demolish
is there a way to track stacks?
Get a weakaura from anywhere
Is there something I am missing with the Noggenfogger Ultimate Deluxe trinket? Sims are showing it should be doing 9-13M per cast (depending on buffs) yet with personal testing I've yet to see it do more than 5.3M.
18211 crit, 19508 haste, 4328 mastery, 1440 vers I've peaked
Is that crit with the Tome active?
apparently it's rather unreliable
2 weeks. 2 wep slot
DO people know signet of thje priory vs tome of light devotion? I have signet in vault but i guess it not bis?
Granted I only did 15ish tests, but it was always getting its 10 melee hits off, even if it wasn't always shown on details, it was there on logs, just doing much less than raidbots was saying it should per use. Good to know it has other issues then so I just go back to pacemaker. Thank you!
well now that is funny, maybe armor is playing a role in damage reductions
I tried vs Normal dummy, Raid dummy and The Underpin, seemed pretty consistent between them all, with Ava/Demo/Demolish up and without them and it was always doing in the 4.5-5M range
wow this is kinda depressing, 600k loss to overall in a 10
Another great vault! Always happy to pick a Belt that’s getting better with next reset (catalyst Charge)…
Question to the community. After the nerf of demolish and shield stammt and the slight buff of mountain thane - will be mountain thane again be more viable agsin ?
Slam
Both specs are totally viable.
I'm doing keys as both,and am enjoying them.
Literally nothing is hindering you.
Colossus will still do more damage than MT,but the difference is smaller now,that's about it.
But both were viable last ID aswell. The state of Colossus did not change that much, the pump is still real
I like the shockwave knock up from Colossus. When in Pugs everyone is throwing their aoe stun within the first globals you still have a functioning mass cc
Lads shield is no brainer here right? Even if i have crafted one already.
Rest of your vault is not worth to mention, take shield
You wasted a spark but not the crests. Upgrade for your shield is now cheapo
And sparks are not that good due to very weak embellishments
Be happy to have max shield
Yea you right my friend
Seems i don't understanding simming at all. I wanted to sim for my 2 trinkets upgraded from 649 to 655 and a 655 Pacemaker. Sim says even upgrading from 649 to 655 is a damage loss. How? (Dungeon Slice)
i go with tome yes?
Is the cinderbrew Stein ever good? Got it in myth track
tome is pretty fantastic, it does almost 5% of my overall just from the damage proc, not to mention it boosts all other dmg sources due to the crit. and on top of that it even boosts your overall healing via the magic absorb
and its very low maintenance to manage.
i took it, ty for the response
Mannnn I have lab in the morning I just wanna open my vault
hey guys. which pots and flasks are you using in 12+? i swapped 1 week ago from arms to prot and i am still using the arms consumes? still good or do you go crazy shit?
Haste, crit or chaotic. Depends on your gear
okay do we have any % that we want to achieve as prot?
For Crit you want 25% to reach 100% crit chance for shieldslam during tier procc
Haste depends on your talents and playstyle
There’s no point where say haste is fine. You simply have to ensure your shield block uptime
i play Thane and that are my stats
so i gonna concentrate on a bit more crit to obtain 25% right?
When you are able to hold shield block up yes
i am able. nice then i know what to do. mby i gonna change a bit. thx sir
I wanna puke I am facing taking a myth track piece from vault and not being able to use it for up to 3 weeks because it breaks 4 set
yes but still if i knew that would've happened i would've held on catalyst charge
yo how is this community not complaining about the nerfs, do we like to get the L every time
warr getting nerfed every patch
the colossus damage nerf was fairly warranted
it was doing pretty ridiculous damage
