Guys, whats the gap between colosus and mt in st and aoe?
In favour of colosus?
Oh ya colossus up in aoe
Like in yesterdays raid I got owned by 2nd tank, a blood Dk where last week I owned him by far
Dunno why actually
Thanks for info nonetheless
Can someone link me the spell reflect WA for this season, if theres one up!
Thank you!
Thank you!
we cant know either without logs
nerfs presumably
only 5% in st
tier set procs
maybe
but need logs
i showed last night, u can have a 300k swing in dps completely outside your control
because fuck you, your tier set didnt proc
MMMMM gotta love a rng uncontrollable tierset
What happens if I don't kill shaynemail? Is dailcry harder?
nope
Why wouldn’t you kill shaynemail?
or proc during Rik intermission, or right when you are going into the ball on Stix 
cause u dont need too if u dont want to
u can bait her the other side
so u just do 'easier' trash for mob count
Efficient % so sparse in the dungeon mini bosses are actually efficient % especially since you can pull them with other mobs easily
When pug does not understand to spread on her, its easier to skip her eventually
I basically do her with 12 footmen
if your doing balls your not getting a parse anyways
Yeah, im the main ballroller. BDK is taking meltdown
what counts as getting a parse?
if youve hit a boss with logs turned on
u have a parse
maybe not a good one

blizz dont seem to want 1 tank in the raid to get parses anyway
your ither a bdk
or an off tank doing other jobs
because they cant make good interesting tank mechanics
i was more thinking of what you meant by not getting a parse if you do the balls
well in mythic
if your the ball tank
u dont touch the boss
outside of the first 20s
so u arent gunna do any damage
so u arent gunna get a parse
what are you doing the rest of the time when youre not rolling the ball?
its only like max 50% of the fight that youre not hitting the boss
its more
sure its not even close compared to if youre tanking the boss
this is my melee dmg from stix
doesnt look like less then 50% to me
but ye, compared to someone who's hitting boss and adds all the time and not rolling the ball, youre gonna do less dmg
but most prot warriors who have killed that on public logs are ball rollers im pretty sure
so comparatively you can still parse decently
is there any specific reason for that on mythic, to make 1 tank ball roller (except the consistency), or its fine to tank like on first week on nm/hc?
mythic doesnt overlap the tank debuff at all
because u need a bdk to grip all the adds
and its just easier if you have a dk tank do the boss all the time
otherwise u would run 2 bdks
plus keeping the same guy who knows what to do with the ball is nice as well
well the bombshells once they are broken
its gonna be interesting for me and my VDH cotank 
nah
ppl just have to have a bit of a brain, shouldnt be THAT different
its horrendous and really broing
Hey guys, what up.
Considering my current gear, what would you craft?
I have a spark and a gilded enchanted crest available for use.

as i now have to wait for ppl to learn it properly
and I already have more exposure than everyone else
and dont understand how its hard
at all
because it isnt
the fight is garbage
unfun
ball things are decent, and you can have more control over it and can help your team better on the ball 👍
and shit
pun intended 
the main shitty thing is if the bomb spawns right next to boss under all the clusterfuck of adds and weakauras
I want to play WoW, not Katamari 
but you can definitely carry quite a bit when doing all the tank rolling
much more than if you were just hitting the boss
yep same with me i actually want to press buttons
not afk
but nah stix afk
thankyfully we have a druid that afks rik
afk sprocket because overlaps with the debuff
do you enjoy just doing your basic dps rotation and sitting on the boss? 🤔
afk on onearm because u have to move out all the time
afk on mugzee so u can run around and drop stacks
afk on gally so u can run around and clikc bombs
yer fucking nice mechanics bliz
have you thought of playing dps?
actively taking away from the fight isnt fun
think you might enjoy that more
interesting
i dont mind not hitting the boss at all, if im doing something productive and helping the raid kill the boss
no thats fine one if my favourite tank mechanics of all time is socrather in hfc
but you were actually pressing buttons
like actively doing somthing else
just pressing W to run 100 yards somewhere and then back is boring for sure, but anything ive encountered so far up to p2 on sprocketmonger has been fun
rolling on a ball or standing out of range of ppl isnt interesting at all
just running around to click a bomb
i hope you can find some fun in the raid
im not pressing buttons or thinking about what i have to do next on the ball
cos that sounds stressful and not fun what youre experiencing
wiggling my mouse around looking for trash on the ground
how is that interesting at all? i dont have to think at all
do i have time left ? pick up trash
is bomb in my zone? no pick up trash
u have have 3 second left? hit boss
yer really engaging
hi jakey
More like they’re too afraid to do that because 85% of tanks would just fail because they can’t even be bothered to press a fairly simple rotation
socrathar u had to think about what ability in the robot u used on the portals u had to time the ccs correctly otherwise the mobs broke and got to the boss, all while also hitting the boss as much as u could. it was a great mechanic
so why make them afk at all then make them learn to use their rotation
ive had enough of bad tanks in content when im pugging on other things because they cant be arsed to learn
i got told to stop taunting in lfr today, i was doing 1.4mil dps the other tank was doign 140k
like what?
buddeh
press buttons
i would say the same thing about spamming shield slam and revenge, and hoping for resets or procs
afk in brain hitting boss is boring af
rolling the ball at least youre doing something a bit different
i was thinking about that fight the other day, it was pretty fun getting to pilot the mech
i wouldnt mind if they added a bit more rotational complexity as an option in talents for tanks
managing the adds and also just suckerpunching the boss
Or you could just like…make more stuff like Jadefire Masters
Where you hit boss, AND have an active tank mechanic
maybe its just cos its my first tier ever tanking that im not finding some of this very boring, but i never had issues doing some mechanics that others thought boring cos it took them away from hitting the boss
Any comments <3?
I would sim myself and craft anything which stuck out :)
besides trinkets, shields, and one handers, is prot loot spec any different from arms loot spec?
is it better to go for a stat weapon like the haste/crit one from rik reverb, or the extra effects weapon like the gold knuckles from mugzee?
Yooo mans out here with the DF S3 numbers
Always fascinating
XD
If I'm crafting a wep to jumpstart my tank practice is symbiosis a trap
for the generic armor pieces they are all the same
so yeah you got all the differences checked out
rings and necks the same too?
do engineering crafted items count as an embelishment for the 2 limit?
I want to craft pure crit bracers
but worried I'm gonna waste my spark or something
rings and necks are the same for every spec in the game
my guild trialed a backup tank and he couldn't keep aggro off me
and he didn't kick anything in m+ either
then he left
the inner machinations of his mind are an enigma
Sorry to bother you but how exactly do you do this water/oil skip in ML that you talked about?
does the priory first boss do anything different depending on what general is alive? or is it just the general casting their spells
I feel like the tankbuster trucks like 5x harder when you go left for some reason
because the general casts a dam vulnerability
it's dispellable
healer issue
Its more than just that, it just does straight up more damage too
word?
you just run across that plank in the water and then hug the left wall, there's a rock you can just walk straight up out of the oil and into the earth elemental packs. It just gets you by the 2nd extractor pack
where are u pulling extra to compensate?
By 2nd you mean pack 2 here?
pack 3 there, we combine 1 and 2 then do the skip
you could skip both 2 and 3 if you wanted though
hmmm ok
not sure what the normal pug route is in motherlode, but we do 2 pulls at the start, skip over the wall, do one pull there, then do 2 pulls before first boss. we do one extractor pack with the 4 pack near it, then we skip the 2nd extractor, and then we do 3(?) pulls on the way to 3rd boss and get the rest of the count at the end. the war machines are super efficient, even factoring in you cant pull much with them
so if ur doing wall skip AND extractor skip then ur just making it all up thru 2 extra war machines?
i think we do 3 war machines solo and then the double war machine at the end
but u could also just do another pull in the mastermind area instead of one of those probably
i could totally just construct the route myself
ill look into it later
can u edit existing routes on keystone.guru
personally, with triple melee dps, the extractors are by far the worst pulls, so we opted to skip after the first one because almost anything else (besides peacekeepers) was a better option for us
yea extractors always suck
One thing I don't get is why people say that the trash in that section is some of the best in the dungeon for count and ease to kill. Like, pugs always die to extractors
if you have a bunch of ranged its probably easy
but id still rather just make my healer suffer fighting a war machine than have to manage 2 casters while dodging a million circles with 4 people in melee range
im straight up about to route that shark in
he's in contaminated water. it's humanitarian
it dies 100%
https://www.twitch.tv/saiyoran/clip/KitschyRudeMagePeanutButterJellyTime-h6d_nvFbaNhYfjt8 here i made a clip
oh thats interesting
can also go faster but i think the dps were waiting on me even though we had a good shark patrol
if you have a bad shark patrol just taunt it while you're on the plank and tank it for a sec then you can leap to the rock when your friends are across
I like skipping a lot so lust on first boss. Do two double war machines at end.
kill shark for %
lol
what do you do here? I know you jump over that wall, but then its kinda vague based on what you said
im not joking i think this is the future
didnt even know you COULD go right
ngl
after the 3rd pull, we backtrack around the left side
like most groups do, where u run along the wall and behind the house
how are u stealthing thru all that
So you wait for the mec, but how do you avoid groups 6/5 there and 8/7 exactly? I know 7 can be out ranged by going all the way to the right of the path there, but then the mech is there
https://www.twitch.tv/saiyoran/clip/CooperativeVictoriousSquidTinyFace-WvgWWFvF766Xu31v ignore the shroud it was just for move speed i guess
everything important sees stealth
(we do the exact same route without a rogue)
yeah, u sometimes have to wati for that peacekeeper by group 6 to leave
he runs around
also a lot of groups dont even do that 3rd pull i have in my route (group 4 in your picture), they just go straight to the peacekeeper after the wall jump
reminder for myself to go back to this
just depends where u wanna make up your count
im not at home rn so i cant open the game
just wasting time at work lol
open wow at work
dangerous
guys what should i be crafting as a prot war playing mainly m+?
shield/weapon ideally
im gonna wait til vault obvi but assuming nothing relevant
my only 2 champ pieces left are shield and boots
craft shield craft boots duskthread on both ez clap?
🤔
yet another shaman rager
c:
LOL
they died and we ran it back, i pulled again and the patrol didnt agro, weird
i guess i should have played their characters better
asked are you sure after doing the pull
thats when he raged with the mdt shit
So many dudes backseat tanking these days. It’s actually out of control
im just gonna rename this route to "Blacklist Dreadtote-Dalaran"
Happened to me today too, like one pull didn’t go ideally and he started harassing me
Sounds about right
yeah
same as any season
its back to shaman ragers i guess
after being absent for a couple of them
Mine was a mage who I was doing same amount of damage as
It was in theater of pain and I was a bit slower than usual grouping those green spirit things around the corner
Just dumb to ruin timeable keys
Good mages are gods
Bad mages die to everything they can and alter time at 7% and rage at the heals when they get their guts splattered
if vdh doesn't take sigil of chains what utility do they have other than sigil of fear/silence
Unfortunately they are also like 90% of all mages
yes that also will never change
raid buff
kinda
counts
Chaos nova, darkness, 3% increased magic dam, prob more crap I can’t think of
like why vdh on stix instead of smth else
what makes them fit into the stix comp
silence?
yea the mythic stix comp is bdk vdh isn't it
i mean you dont really need them, you can just ball them
bdk is cursed in stix
no bueno
cant slappy hands
isn't that what was run in rwf
We got nerfed cuz of race to world first
but yeah yipz was playing bdk
you just cant do that with other people
yipz is a gamer and knows when not to grip
im the vdh (maybe) not the bdk
im trying to justify my alts by hyping up vdh to myself
shrug
i dont think VDH is required for any fight
havoc probably better in a comp
but whatever, that fight is cursed for melee anyway
are u using double cursed haste
no 1x radiant haste 1x radiant crit, i honestly thought 46% with flask and ITF is alright
y'all don't have 50% base haste yet?
Gripping my balls
Yo boys, has anyone been trying MT in 12+ keys, how does it feel is better at surviving and how much lower is the damage?
Havoc is very strong so yeah idk why you’d play vdh if you’re in a guild with good havoc players
(I say, playing vdh)
first time hitting 2k!! ty everyone here for helping this noob
gratz bro, go for 3k this season for the mount ❤️
hahah i think ill stay at 7s for now. its like the perfect balance for me
yeah just do it at the end of 11.1.5 where everyone has 675 ilvl and the corruptions
Really thinking of swapping from nelf to dorf. Someone talk me off the ledge
Why
are there really that many things you can dispell this ssn with dwarf racial? i never felt like i need a dispell this ssn
Bleeds are really chunking me this season idk why. Might be an IP uptime thing but grass looks greener on the other side
but what bleeds? i can only think of motherload that one miniboss before elemental boss
but idk it's one additional cooldown. not worth looking like a dwarf to me tbh
idk ive timed priory on +12 and never felt like the bleed hit me that hard, just cycle defensives
i'm 5'6 in real life, why be even shorter in my video games
yeah i HATE how dwarfs look tbh. earthen are sick tho
Colossus vs Thane for M+ after nerfs?
collo
100% not a fan of the dorf aesthetic
There are like 2-3 bleeds where u totaly dont need to be dwarf , its nice to be , but wont change anything realy
stay nelf brother, rating is temporary, drip is eternal
I love them small buljy dwarfs, full jugernaut gear on them and bigass shield
i play void elf for the drip
You right 💦💦💦
play orc
orc is strong
honestly mechagnome is BiS for warriors, it synergizes so well with our cheat death and the +main stat is crazy
based
Undead warrior for life. Prob my classic days staying with me.
undead is valid
Based
how fucking is brutal that fury slayer guys? ^^
where is this 46% before ITF value coming from? Assuming you are saying it should be this unbuffed (no flask or food, etc)... seems a bit much
i made it up
😮
priory, ML, cinderbrew, darkcleft
cinderbrew first pull, darkcleft 1st pull and creepers
🤷♂️
plenty of dispellables too
its fine to not like dwarf, but to say it doesnt have uses idk what game youre playing
Yeah it’s still imbalanced
Op
Shadowmeld is strong too though no real reason can’t find value of shadowmeld while you’re nelf
Can prob meld bunch of mechanics and crap
yeah
kinda feels like he was 1guying for quick answers to dwarfable abilities
Feels like with meld u gotta be kind of carefull and its realy not that usefull in pugs
yeah
Ny vulp drip on point these days ngl
melding missile in ML last boss is giga cursed
is col>MT dmg stillthe go to in M+ and Raid?
lol
i wish we could get a notification everytime a tip in a username prevents someone from posting a question
a little thank you ding goes off
Just @lusty grotto every message
Poor fella doing gods work and u wanna abuse it
Nim looking into crystal ball do I kill stix night?
yes
Eyir sucks
fuk u @warm plinth
eyir 8ball

I didn't deny
I’m doing a pirates of the Caribbean movie marathon with the wife
I forgot how much I enjoy these movies
Nice
they fun
I've only ever seen 1, 2, and part of 3
I just rewatched final destination 1-3 and tomorrow gonna watch 4 and 5 for the first time
He's going full destination
i watched the 1st one, it was fun
Final destination was goated at begining , like first 2-3 , then it went to shit imho
Hi guys, Which is better, Scrapfield or Vexie's Pit Whistle? (In terms of Tanking M+)
but also made me paranoid at simple shit
Kid has a vision of plane crashing, gets off plane with a bunch of people, plane crashes, then death kills the survivors in fucked up ways
2nd or 3rd one has a big pileup on a motorway due to a logging truck
Ye 2nd one
Ohhh that’s right it’s the movies where people die to freak accidents the whole time right?
yeah people cheat death, but death is a sore loser
That movie taught me not to follow trucks way before i even had licence ngl
The weights crushing that guys head is forever imprinted in my mind lmao
Idr witch one it was in but it’s there
both are decent, sim
That's the third one
I love that one because you know something is gonna happen and it still surprises you lol
Gruesome man
would you believe there's actually meta spoilers at this point?
i saw final destination 3 on dvd and my friends insisted on turning on the special feature where you got to "choose the outcome"
it was
SO bad
just the most jankily edited thing imaginable
You know a franchise has lived too long when the "Gruesome death simulator" series has fucking lore
Lmao
holy shit, interactable DVDs?
You see the new season of Lost bro?
dvd menu screen on loop at the party for hours... peak


yeah its called Silo
c:
and/or Severance
not really but they have some relatable things
Yeah Severance has that distant cousins kinda feel to Lost
I was super excited about the new release of the extended LOTR trilogy like a year or two ago
and somewhere in the process of opening the box I realized I haven't owned a player since the mid 2000s
The One-Armed Bandit : if i click on a pylon/coil, it triggers it but it's removed, right ?
whats a good 675 craft after shield, weapon?
If I'm at 13k haste should i funnel haste (haste enchants etc.)
does tome sim correctly? eye of kezan is simming way higher
have u seen white lotus, its my fav along w severance
its on hbo max tho
Doesn’t feel any tankier than Colossus to me and it’s a lot less damage
Use custom in pins for tome
white lotus is so good this season lmao
uncomfortable ALL the time
You need like 17k to even run ITF so yeah
Do we not go ITF until that breakpoint?
You’re not going to be able to keep shield block up before that so yeah you’d go HR
ive heard good things but the premise doesnt really interest me
Thank you
maybe ill give it a try
Choose your own adventure. Goosebumps ftw
I couldn't stand those, I kept getting my ass murked
Maybe you should have better decision making
did you watch succession? there’s a little overlap in that you won’t like any of these people
that’s a dealbreaker for some people lol
it didn't die
Damn thats sadge
i did, and i liked it
white lotus isn’t that level, succession is an all timer for me
but it’s good if you like fucked up people being awful to each other, especially this season
if not masterpiece level outright
i dont really like people being awful with each other but when the characters are compelling and well-acted, i cant turn away
Just bricked a key on Priestess in Priory - lusted to blast the shield down and interrupted quickly but all the adds went straight on healer and insta killed. I used challenging shout just after and they didn’t seem to come to me. Was it my fault?
Nope
Who knows tbh
they aren't tauntable
Tjey are fixated , u can help with slows dmg and cc on them and thats it pretty much
Can interv also but that saves like 1 hit
you can shockwave, intim, or 40% slow from tc, but everyone should have tons of cc. dps just weren't using it
It also can help if u drag boss to other side of that "balcony" so they have to run longer way
Ooof. That makes me feel better. Not a problem on my DK as I abom limb but my warrior love is making me go again
I did one yesterday where my monk buddy put a RoP perfectly in the middle of the platform
Where it affected no one
@jagged pier you are so right, third night on stix i never was so tilted on a boss since i restarted to play the game, 100 pulls i want it to end, i'm so much in a ball and people still don't understand how it works
It was beautiful
There is tons of stuff u can use there , i kinda like good hunters and their traps there
Hi guys, what do u think about thrinket Scrapfield 9001 ?
it's decent but there are better options
last I checked (about 2 weeks ago) it doesn't work in sims though
it should basically jsut be considered a 30% uptime haste stat stick
the absorb is very negligible
Ok i see
thanks
because i dont know which one equip between :
Scrapfield 665, Radio reverb 658 and Mister Lock 665
i have ¨Pacemaker in addition
Scrapfield is almost certainly not the play
I'd just sim the other 3
Reverb is kinda just a superior scrapfield, serves a very similar purpose
but afaik has better uptime
scrap is better if you take no damage
damage taken is completely irrelevant to the trinket's uptime
at least according to Nome
i have done a pretty considerable amount of testing with it
Which is silly because it’s really just the same as heroic just you have an assigned quadrant and need to hit a mastermind/bomb if it’s there and there’s more bombshells to avoid
the uptime is basically 30-35% in any given content regardless of damage intake
70% uptime is definitely incorrect
but that was also a post made during PTR
i have a pretty considerable amount of logs on VDH using it
is Suspicious Energy Drink sim bait or solid?
Nom was saying it’s good on live not just ptr
VDH tho
that just isn't possible given how the trinket works
the 20sec period doesnt start until after the 12sec haste buff
so maximum possible uptime is like 37%?
ish?
if anything that should reduce the uptime because my damage intake would be higher
That’s the point
my point is it's not physically possible to have 70%
that isn't how the trinket works lol
i did the ball 48 times i'm just forgiving what my char looks like
https://fr.warcraftlogs.com/reports/PVQBGX2fJd4rx1bN?type=auras&boss=3012&difficulty=5&wipes=1&spells=debuffs&by=target&hostility=1&ability=465346&source=23
maybe it was on PTR but not on live
Idk group wants to do some keys today so worst case scenario I confirm your findings, best case I find out it’s not
¯_(ツ)_/¯
honestly i just wish it simmed properly
i don't know how to submit a PR or whatever to fix it
just needs custom apl or w/e
ignore my name xdd
no, the trinket just isn't implemented in simc
interesting
here is a pwarr log from a 13 meadery
32% uptime on haste
which is very in line with my observations on vdh
yeah it literally just sims as like
flat mainstat nothing else
🤷♂️
APL wouldn't work because all an APL is is an action priority list
it just determines how items/abilities are used
but if simc doesn't know what the item does, using it is moot
im aware
how should i feel about this dps? good or bad
if you're the mage or shaman you should feel very bad
tank
otherwise pretty decent
Depends on dung and key lvl
9 FG
Well u did fine, so did dk for that key
route impacts a lot in floodgate
but yea you did fine
any key where you're breaking 2mil is solid
like you're very much doing your job
but can't really say anything more without logs in terms of how well you're actually playing
Sham and mage could defo be higher , and so should that healer , sub 200k is afking half the time or idk ..
mage was 639 he was DK friend and shammy was rando 662
Well then mage did rather fine
it was a fun key i just saw 3k i.o dps and was like "lets just pull hard" lol
i can fuck around with pulls and stuff
Confused by sims, out of these 3, would do we reccommend? Bomsuit, Energy Drink, Scrapfield
bombsuit will not sim high
its primarily a defensive trinket
the best defensive trinket actually
so sims will not give you any data for that
or rather, it will be lower than others
since the offensive part is just a nice bonus at best
idk what the fuck is energy drink
and scroll up for scrapfield talk
which results in not simming correctly at all
Its mastery proc or something iirc from delves
yeah its some mastery proc shit
Scrapfield just feels weird
Eye of Kezan seems like sim bait more than anything. It takes 4 minutes to get to full stacks
scrapfield does not work in sims at all
It also just seems weird in play too
absolutely not
Eye of Kezan has value even if not at max stacks
its not sim bait if it sims well at 5 min patchwerk but takes long to ramp
if u want to sim for short encounters then use 2-3min sim
Just have to maintain combat or close enough to it, which isn’t difficult.
Chain pull, drop combat to let healer drink.
Once healer starts drinking pull, easy enough.
Big pew pew
Play with healer that dont need to drink
all healers need to drink, it’s the only way to cope with the pain
Havent seen monk drink yet ngl
You do, it is the channel they do once a while
Gimme break dude singular brain cell cant handle shit at that hour
the things I see when I'm not tanking a key
Anyone here lf premades to push?
I'm too sleepy I read that as 16% lmao
shadow
Colossus just better
thank u
Don’t need Thane at all for any situation
if it makes u feel better
he pressed LS 4 times
and only pressed shield wall 4 seconds after charging in
to his double muscle + chewie pull
lmfao
youre welcome, its not like its in my nickname or anything
idc i didnt pick that up i havent played warr in like 2 years
okie
u see mine
angry arent we
but yes, i can read
i didnt forget that by not playing for 2 years
hard to claim that if you cant read 🙂
read mine :>
stop typign 2 me
cute :3
who typing to you
It is not sim bait, it’s just a trinket for raid 4-5min + bosses
(Which last 3 bosses in mythic really likes getting hit harder after 5min)
i bet this has been asked numerous times but im new to the community.
what is the go to build after the Collosus nerf and Mountain thane buff, has thane become the better option now, opinions?
colossus still better in aoe
Resto druid lf tank to push keys, currently 2.7k Rio
this is not a matchmaking disc
there are other discords for that
@warm plinth link him the one
I've got a couple questions since I'm not super versed in Colossus, does execute with execute build completely eclipse revenge as a spender in ST bosses once you get the threshold, just resorting to SS -> TC for rage gen, using revenge only with procs, As well as in general I see the guide says revenge -> thunder clap for colossus, am I just only using TC as a last resort in ST with 0 rage + no SS available?
yes
do not use revenge with only procs
use it when you have rage
youre using TC to refresh rend
and/or if your SS is on CD and you need the rage to revenge
Okay so it's debuff maintenance for Colossus and a filler of a filler, got it
youre mostly going to be doing SS into Revenge into SS into Revenge
you can repeat revenges with procs, and/or if your rage is good
same rules apply: never starve, never cap
use IP when youre almost to the cap
got it, ty nimchip!
revenge pretty much maintains IP
with BrV and No Stranger To Pain
but keep using it smart as a spender when you cant use a gcd to burn the rage (i.e. revenge)
ty
It is too much, I join you
lol
Ffs got no mastery or verse so now it’s outweighting even strength per point for extra dps
Might have to change a ring or neck.
On heroic Gallywix. Is there a way to bait the bombs or is there a trick other than after the tank soak. everyone stacks together.
like if ranged went and stacked out would it target the furtherst away etc?
Think it’s just random
Ahh sorry, misread.
Thought you were talking about the duds.
The other bomb is just 2 random players, so tighter you soak the better the odds they are where you want them.
anyone else feel like shit in keys now after the changes? Doing 13s and 14s and it just feels awful.
I felt sad that I wasn’t beating the dps, haven’t really noticed much else.
I don't feel as tanky anymore
Might have to swap to thane
They didn’t nerf survivability, maybe slightly because of brutal vitality I guess.
Oh I know that's why I'm confused.
My gear hasn't changed but it feels like my haste is way to low now
its fort week
I'm doing 13-14 keys lmao
This week is worse because the healers are wasting all their mana on the constant dispels too
13-14s will be tough no matter what.
You won’t just dog walk them at our ilvl
Yeah I might just need to pull better around cds or swap some crit out for haste.
Does everybody here plays with Ravager ?
crafted or myth shield?
^
by any chance?
I do, if you’re dying a lot you could change it.
Ok I swapped ravager to BSV to have one less button to worry about as I’m learning
i think your better off posting a log and what not
yes
yall do that here right?
Rembourrage is right

we do
pog
are you pugging?
usually in #1347646810457636974 but its fine to post here
Keep in mind if you don’t run with a regular group. The quality of members (and thus difficulty to live) will vary greatly, agnostic of balance changes
Cherry
In pugs and smaller keys, would you then recommend using thunderous roar and ravager at the same time or pace them out pull to pull? People don’t really wait for me to gather they just blast from even before my charge is over.
use troar yea
its great for snap threat
but its probably better to wait until youve gathered everything for ravager
Troar is 360 but how many yards do you know ?
should be on the tooltip, im not in game atm
warrior friends, i wanna craft 1hand+shield...ascendence on 1hand? i have old bracers with +versa if above 80% hp
have alrdy hero track shield, but 1hand is 636 or so..so will do 1hand first then..on shield then better 2. time versa if above 80% huh?
oh, do whatever then
thanks friend
From time to time
Both 1h and shield are heroic ilvl. I unfort play all three specs atm. Mainly arms.
26% crit 33% Haste 28% Mastery 8% Vers 664 ilvl
Using HoC and Seaforium atm can't get a def trinket to save my life
about embellishments im confused, here and on wowhead it says: 2x versa if above 80% hp..but most very good tanks use ascension +the other one which double it..or 2x crit above 80%...what is better now...have to sim it?
craft a shield
shit will hurt less, it will be noticeable
at least as soon as you can
Yeah I'm working on it..... they keep flipping me back and forth for raid tank or not. So I'm praying a myth 2h drops from vault next week so I can craft one
most tanks rushed shield + weap so they slapped ascendance on it for the time being until they get more sparks for dawn/dusk, but yes its a sim angle, i used crit+vers last season, this season might be different depending on sims
how reasonable is 1.3 mil dps on heroic mugzee
ok thanks again
oh i just saw myth 1hand @ raid is at rik for prot warrior..na i guess i won t reach that..maybe 2. boss in the future, so 1hand craft is a good idea ^^
i opened the weekly dungeon event box on my alt guardian and got the eye of kezan heroic
gonna kms
it sims as a downgrade wtf
what are you simming
eye of kezan needs 5m sims
same deal as anvil and cataclysmic signet, from aberrus and amirdrassil
@undone beacon
Yeah I simmed it at 5 mins and it still showed worse than the Turbo Drain delve trinket
I’d have to go back downstairs to my pc to fuck with it, I’m gonna just use it cuz like I got it and my guild will hate me otherwise
Wild thing to pull on a fuckin alt
a lot of sim baits this season lmao
especially from delves holy
well i suppose that one isnt really sim bait, its 4ppm hastened
no im curious
i got that gally trinket on my mage too, its only good at very long fights kinda 7min or so..so kinda dead for hero raid ^^ and THAT good delve trinket =candle my mage never gets..sigh
hmm
hmmm
Worth noting it’s on a Guardian Druid, don’t know if the mastery on it skews things
Let me go downstairs and run it again I’m curious
sigh
of course I get eye on the one char I have that doesnt even fuckin want it lol
are you using ST talents
Slightly modified but yeah
well yeah idk
Mastery is largely a bunk stat for bear so I guess having a mastery stick that has to ramp mainstat just doesnt cut it over straight mainstat and dmg proc
Makes sense, just feels bad
Yeah I'm running a 5 target sim rn
not that its that realistic but yea
Might be worth dragging into keys where I can play more aggro
Bear chain pulling is super fun, moonfire everywhere
maybe there's some nature dmg modifiers? or versa factoring in?
talents shouldnt affect trinket damage but maybe a weird interaction
versa definitively does though
Maybe? Moon Bear cares more about arcane damage though but who knows
I'm sure it'll be better on my feral off spec or something
5 min 5 target 
thats one word for it
thank god im not playing alts this season
ive had that shit happen way more than once
Its always super depressing
My warrior got the mug'zee chestplate, which y'know is useless compared to my myth tier so
its like WoW gives rare shit to least played characters
fr fr
C'est la vie I suppose, I'll toss it in the bank and antagonize guildies with it

Actually WoW creates the character RNG seed on char gen, you should quickly test this on all new characters by trying to get a rare end of current raid mount like Prototype A.S.M.R.
Don't get it? Delete character, try again, that shit bricked.
Hey im pretty new to prot and tanking. Any tips for the initial rotation for gathering and getting aggro / threat when you have trigger happy dps? Like in the first room of cinderbrew for instance. I'm learning in colossus atm but happy to switch if thane is better
yo guys, how are you guys dealing with big momma on high keys? for me she's the hardest boss on this season, how do u guys feel about her?
spell block
if spell block on cd, wall
the dot isnt spell blockable though so have care
for both momma and last boss
what does spell block even do exactly
"you can block spells" ok whats a spell
fireballs obvi
but for momma the biggest danger is the initial hit (the part thats spell blockable)
gigazap you just cant spell block anything lol
anyway always check the sheet in the pins to plan your cds
im ngl ive literally never pressed spell block outside of the kobold mages in dfc
i genuinely dont remember pressing spell block in df
but i also didnt play prot in df
i played fury
so looking @ this spreadsheet it just looks like any directed tank hit w/ a partial/full magic portion can be spell blocked... damn..
ive just been using the magic dr from spell reflect
spell block can be stronger than wall at times
so sometimes SR isnt even needed
and just best paired with wall
or depending on how frequent the hits are, though i cant think of a lot of scenarios
yeah, but even using that its still hurts A TON, but yeah, spellblock def helps a lot. I guess sometimes its about the healing and not me maybe. It's a boss that I can barely press revenge, I need to use pretty much all my rage on IP
you can spell block group wide magic damage too?
damn wtf.
i feel like my third eye was just opened
just looked at the spreadsheet and damn i should be pressing spell block way more often too
I totally understand you... Spell block is a button I didn't press at all in the past... but its HUGE for some pulls
its pretty massive, its why we arent hurting from magic since DF
sometimes you can crit spell block for 100% amounts
its not capped like normal block
very RNG but it happens
do you guys have routes from high PSF to share? Want to see what prot warriors are doing
PSF for me is by far the hardest dungeon... 1st pull is hard, 1st boss is nightmare
so as like a general rule of thumb
from what im seein
if it does magic damage, theres a high chance that i can just spell block it
yoda has a nice route for psf imo. he did it a few times on his prot war yesterday and the day before if you want to check his vod
but even him get hit pretty hard on 1st boss
oh nice, I checked his youtube but there was no videos, I'll check his VOD, thanks.
btw, another question, do you guys prefer to run Instigate or Bloodsurge?
edit: when not running Baterring ram
yeah just check the sheet
i cant be peeping at it between every pull
every season theyve been adding more and more to the spell block list, in s1 of DF there were some spells but theyve made it pretty widespread now
when it was initially put in game
we could solo tank Sarkareth with it cause his bomb's ticks were spell blockable
the only thing that remains inconsistents is just that
what I did to start remembering the spells was before the dungeons, I checked which pulls hurted hard and which spells, then I checked the sheet to see if it was, so I was like "ok, I now I need to press on this pull" and started memorizing
some dots are, some dots arent spell blockable
I don't know all the spells that are blockable, but I know which pulls I need to press
im still not taking any damage in 11s except for the first ~5 pulls in cinderbrew tbh
yeah idk you learn it pretty fast
so my pressure to learn was small
repeated exposure
etc
makes it easy to memorize which is what
and how to outplay it
is it safe to say that every cinderbrew packs have blockable spells anyways. and the spell block duration is so long you can prob just send it on cd
yeah, in my case I "Learned" to press it when I tried my first flood12 and died to the Bloodwarper pack before the glider
in my case the thing that shredded me in cinderbrew isnt blockable anyways
the bee venom
uhh
but the bee last sting is iirc
dispel? dwarf?
dwarf <3
i mightve panicked and los'd anyone who can dispel it
who the fuck are you doing keys with that dont dispel on a 11
i mean 11 isnt exactly high, but at that point they should know
no they do dispel
what if I tell you that I was doing a floodgate 13 and the healer was like "I can't dispell the purple dot" LUL
well theres 2
they just play with my emotions and make me think they arent going to dispel
and then i panic and los them because im bad
I was talking about the "black blood wound" (the one which IS ) haha
yeah, he said that it wasnt showing to him as dispellable on his UI, so I told him to test dispelling and it worked, so he was like "oh I didnt knew" but it all worked out in the end
not by itself
but regardless its incredibly nerfed from DF so we are opting to not use it, the healing it does is very minimal and not required
anyway its every rage YOU spend
What's the general feel on Intervene? Does it need a buff? So far I've been using it in DFC at first boss when the adds fixate or as 3rd charge to run away from swirlies
And in niche places like priory shooters or ToP crossbow skellies, but it seems limited
its useful for those cases yes
If only it could intercept magic dmg as well but yeah its pretty rare someone else in party takes phys dmg
any physical damage thats targetted on group members is a use case
otherwise use the talent point elsewhere
The magic shield is like 500k, which is kinda worthless
just good to charge on an ally to get out of bad stuff on the ground xD
Yep, like at Xav aoe I rush to the healer to move easier
Guilty 😭
thane enjoyer
Is Capo's Molten Fist any good for prot?
youre optimizing the wrong thing
no
better on dps classes
the increase in dps for us is so little that secondaries have way more value
compared with a similar ilvl weapon (see: Rik's 1h)
or any of the 11 billion 1h from M+
Gotcha, was only wondering cuz it dropped and I wasn't sure to roll or not
Should you execute or revenge under 20% single targets on Collosus builds?
execute
execute the prio target
if way too many targets alive, consider just revenge
well, it's a little fuzzy
3-4 is the number
more than 3 targets you just revenge
less than you just execute
but also its very good priority target damage so entirely up to you
Got it. Asking more like boss situations to max ST dmg
sometimes i just send it cause i want priority targets to die to stop damage etc
on ST, def
I find you have to weave in revenges over execute when you're in that 20-40 rage range, otherwise I burn out when SS resets are unlucky
