it's fine for a first pass at changing keystones but hope it gets some passes, i ain't no dev so ain't gonna armchair
That's fair
Sorry, Sense. You’re a dev now
having something for alts at a lower key level would be pretty nice tbh
Well yam, I know before resilient, a lot of people wanted something like the greater rift system in d3
seems like its basically like diablo GRs but without the infinite levels/scaling? maybe i'm not fully understanding it
lol yeah
Your idea sounds kind of like that
Maybe something like 3 charges on the key before it depletes.
never played d3 so
Basically you go into a grift at say level 50
yeah it'd infinitely scale
gotcha yeah
You complete in time, you can now do 51
well blizz already invented the perfect system then
idk why they don't just use that
Or if someone who has unlocked 70 brings you to one, and you do it in time, you can now do 71 solo
hmm
Ig you could make it so you can't join keys you haven't unlocked the potential to run yourself
blizzard took a few years to make diablo 3 fun (it became really fun) and then forgot all those lessons for diablo 4 so i cant say its surprising
general opinion on your proposal notwithstanding
they also often have their own perspectives as developers as to why things should be a certain way in wow even if players feel differently
"you think you do but you dont" type of thing
I like d4
i've heard it is much improved now but when i played it on launch i was personally disappointed, but im just some dude with an opinion so nbd lol
personally keystones in general could go completely imo. Just let me go to whatever dungeon I want, select what level I wanna do it (up to +1 from my highest timed) and do it however many times I want. Challenge modes didn't have this weird "random roll the dungeon you wanna do and only get 1 chance" and they were super fun. Doing record level CM runs was insanely fun because you were always doing the craziest version of the dungeon you could come up with and trying to optimize every gcd of a given pull to make it possible.
hi, recently started my warrior again. everything feels slow (11k haste maybe?) how do we setup pulls/get aggro at start now? my thunderclap has 5 seconds cooldown now and im confused...can someone give me tipps or direct me towards a guide or something? thx in advance
is there a consensus on Pacemaker vs Tome in keys (assuming my 2nd trinket is mud or bombsuit because im scared)
Personal peference really. Are you confident managing Tome verses? If you keep it crit + damage I've had it do 7-10% of my overall which is pretty strong
If you're missing verse changes constantly then maybe go pacemaker
Tome is a lot more work to manage but I think it outperforms pacemake if you can keep on top of it
Agreed
I use this to track it
i dont really have an issue with managing it, i have the weakaura
i just saw a number of top warriors playing pacemaker in some dungeons
We're they playing pace + tome though?
I use tome and Pacemaker pretty much all the time atm
Especially since I got tome in my vault this week 🙂
Niiiice
some were, but some were playing pace/bombsuit
Maybe just depends what people have had drop, took me 56 runs on priory to get tome on my DH
Heroic throw at one thing, charge another, Thunderclap> Avatar > thunder blast > thunder blast After that revenge frontal damage should pick up anything else in melee range.
Avatar resets Thunderclap CD and gives you 2 charges of Thunderblast if you're running as Mountain Thane
how come druids cant shape shift ape
i know wolf is forbidden shape shift for reasons
also dont forget to just let bad dps die to aggro
By default I try not to 😄
But if you start pulling stuff "for me" you are 100% on your own
some ppl just need to die a few times to aggro cos they blew their load on the first 3 mobs that are close to each other
The consensus is use pacemaker and tome together until you get to a high enough level to need the defense and then imo it’s a wash
I personally keep tome because it’s more controllable
im working on 16 resil right now, dont feel very comfortable running double dps trinkets, which was why i was asking
Oh then yeah, imo keep tome because you can control the proc to keep the crit (and thus parry) rolling
With pacemaker you’re just kind of at its mercy
could probably still get away with it in certain keys like workshop or motherlode where very few things actually do much tank damage but playing it safe just seems better, we rarely deplete to low damage
If you’re at 16s I don’t think the damage diff from a trinket on a tank is gonna impact your overall
As much as you getting gibbed on a pull or getting blasted by some bullshit rot
So for what it’s worth I’m with you
yeah most of our depletes are either dps trickle dying over the course of a dungeon and racking up 2mins of death timer, or i get smacked in the back and die instantly gathering a big pull like an idiot
Charge will also get you hit in the back I find
yeah super annoying when you charge a mob and it runs THROUGH you to punch you in the back while you're traveling to it
I started backing up immediately after charging and I stopped getting clipped so much
Or if I can I’ll leap over a pack and then charge back to the first one so I’m back to “in front”
But yeah that’s super irritating
thx
ill try that
are you playing mountain thane or colossus?
will try thane
it's easier to play, good for getting used to it
then can switch to colossus for the big damage
Guys should i use slam as single target dmg in m+? or just revenge even in single?
Correct
do I even need to do skips for cinderbrew +12
Nope.
yeah pugging
You can tag the patrol into 7.
whenever I've tried skippin that corner pack in pugs someone dies and then pulls it running back
so I just don't wanna do skips for 12s lmao
Hi @ionic fern ily hope you're well
Heei,hope you are too.
You don’t have to pull that pack in 9 away from the door
You don’t have to use any abilities or consumables to walk by them after killing the boss
Idk if that counts as a skip or not but y’know
How is prot warrior doing overall right now?
good
To be honest, pretty much all the tanks are sitting at least at good territory at the moment
Unless you're optimizing for some real edge content (Pretty much high M+ keys only afaik, don't think raid hard requires classes that bad right now), you can play whatever and should be fine.
community perception as a whole is that we're dog water and can barely limp across a +(Insert random key level here that person perceives is low) since we're not the meta #1 pick
No I’m not planning to push or anything I just want to not be trolling my group
The only way to troll your group as any tank atm is to just literally fail the content
lol that’s good to know
As long as you are playing the content, you don't even have to play any tank spec that well. Once you go higher, you need to start playing the spec decently enough, as well.
Setting stuff up for Warr, are there any meaningful procs for Revenge or Ignore Pain that I should track that would actually change how I play in the situation?
Track violent outburst, spend it on SS
gives ignore pain, more damage, topn of rage
only other proc is Revenge!
which makes revenge free
Yeah but I kinda assume that the free revenge won't really change anything, you'd still just send it if you're going to revenge and having it cost 0 wouldn't really change much?
wait vo gives ip
It costing 0 rage can actually hurt sometimes, technically

me when i dont pay attetnion
wtb SL addition where pressing Avatar instantly gave you outburst
which means it also gave you IP
ah, banner warrior. Those were the days
it's probably the second best tank in keys
I do like the idea of big damage as tank
I like warrior mobility. I had heard prot was pretty good for damage but idk
Will read the pins. Thanks for the input
never had a problem with that pull
I just pull in the other knight once the other one aoes once
it's not opti but you can do it like that yeah
yeah I just wanna time the key and I ain't going higher than 13s
I feel like knight + miniboss is harder than that way with the knights
not really
yeah you are right but not working for higher because you lose a lot of time
the disrupting part about the knights is very annoying
do you grab an extra pack of shooters with the miniboss then?
let me find a route i do
No, just not the middle one but the top one
i might explode trying to do this a phone
prob the pull 5 is risky too but doable
most people avoid going down stairs
and do the guys to the righ of the miniboss
idk i cant do this on a phone
gg
I don’t like double holy elemental thing
Double purification laser and double heal circle seems risky
miniboss only rly does damage to tank
but double knight fucks mortal men
sounds like a caster problem
Been spamming priory for trinket at 7-8 , so I may have got a bit complacent when I went in at a 10.
All the pulls I did were fine. But second boss hurt me more than I thought.
And last boss pugs were telling me little adds have an aggro table. But I couldn’t seem to get them off ppl.
Any tips?
thunder clap does aoe damage to everyone
It gets uncomfortable in higher keys
healer problem ig
Pugs be wrong
They fixate on random people and have to be CC'd/DPS'd down on last boss
Second boss shouldn't hurt too bad unless you soak multiple times without proper CD prep
They also die to a dot they have so if your group has the ability to hold them at bay (like ring of peace or vortex) they kinda just fall over
really almost anything other than "Run directly into the adds" is a valid solution
pro tip
if you have a shaman
have them root the adds downstairs, they die by themselves
or if you have a monk, put RoP at the base of the stairs, does the same thing
or druit with vortex, or monk with RoP
if properly timed
Good to know I’ll stop stressing when I see ppl dying now.
I was just using shield wall when I soaked , soak 2 and shield wall. I didn’t die. But i did feel very squishy. Like one mistake and i was dead. On lower keys i was just laughing through the fight
or dh with Sigil of Misery
any cc really
thats aoe, obviously
there's options out there, people just don't always thing of em
oh shit Rhino mentioned it
Lmao
burn'
True
Tbf I literally just figured my message wasn’t clear enough
“I guess my message sucked cause they’re both just repeating me.”
lol
lmao my priory +13 route was so scuffed
cause of the patrol timings I didn't know what to do
so I just winged it
4 min under timer ezpz
died on first boss right at the end cause healer was struggling and my shield wall was like 1 second from coming off cd
then I look at the casts and he only pressed pain suppression twice in the entire dungeon
Hm, does Prot have no way of breaking roots? Avatar/Shield Wall because it procs avatar?
correct
and there aint no way youre using those to get out of a root, unless youre in mortal danger
ara kara
the one with the sucky suck black hole lady at the end
yeah
I like how you just knew
well sometimes youre expecting ret paladins to freedom you, but 80% of them are oblivious to it
so i just leap/intervene out, but in a pinch you can just avatar
I can remember one instance where I had a ret paladin actually use that shit
it was so nice
i beat "we have doom 2016 at home"
gz yogi
honestly thats what it is, or "doom for kids"
Sometimes I’d try to leap out of that black hole and I guess I’d miss time it because she’d suck me in
game is amazing, you kill things and they blow up paints the entire room with blood
Thankfully I never pushed too high so I could live the black hole
Any yall still run mountain thane? Or is it basically dead comapfed to collossus?
It can still do content fine, it just does less damage
A lot less?
Ouch
Too much less lol
Shame, im a fan of the flavor
Closest thing to our retail shammy tank xD
saw somone say in arms its like 1.5% buff st lol
stupid thats what. And frost mage buff is strong too. All 3 mage specs are gonna be meta level
yeah i dont even know what theyre thinking with paladins, its been 3 weeks of buffs
They gotta appease the masses of the most played spec
fairly large in aoe, and probably gonna hit blood dk too
Can someone explain the spell reflect tech for mechagon workshop final boss?
but its a st buff I think
his autos are reflectables in p1
but he only does 2 nukes in between mechs
same as it was in BFA
and DF S4
so spell reflect on CD?
BFA dungeons are always good for reflect
uhh no
you dont wanna do that
you wanna just look at his cast bar
nah they got rid of that in sl, or df. I remember prohet Skitra on nyalotha with mastery stacking prot pal
doesnt mean i come back yet

apparently is chance assrock mobo fry 9800x3d
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
maybe wait for better board.... use this one for budget build
but, i never have those types of issues typically
it was all over any pc builders communities and tech jesus also did a vid on it
like i only ever one time had to return a motherboard
i hear they crap out all the time for others
ive actually never had a bad mobo
ive had some that didnt last as long as others, but not day 0
i'll get a 7500f and some cheap ram call it a day, i have a case ready to go
kinda
i have too many computer
i have always liked asrock board
sorry it was twice i returned mobo but that was cuz it was causing issues with rgb
They're buffing ret in preparation for the 1 button rotation
conflicts
to counter the 0.3s gcd nerf
1 only ever died, and i never had a fantastical gpu or cpu or psu explosin
so its like, this shit doesnt scare me for the most part lmao
but i like to wait till i have the parts
literal just a am5 frame im waiting on
yeah just let them do fucking everything and do top dps and be unkillable
thats the blizzard moto, buff the paladin
and we give them charge.intervene as well
restores 20% mana
i might just use my current pc guts in this cheapo case i got
till i have board i feel safe on, probably build it but never turn it on maybe, who knows shame about it
have brand new 2024 psu for it, so probably safe
I think Paladins should be able to reflect spells, but it only reflects onto allies for 300% damage
that could be peak for holy paladin
spell gets targeted at you, you reflect it, reflect negates it and turns it into magical healing falls on everyone
no i mean it fucking kills your party mates
thats redirect then
after minimal decision, ive decided to award you my upvote
and when like, you do spirit wolf as a shaman, they are overpowered as fuck
REMOVE TARGET CAPS
like in wc3
like, thats what i want its like, you are like overpowered wc3 hero
and you got a few buttons so like half what we got right now, discussed it in past
no, its buff the mage or warlock
druid
no
4 specs
its buff the mage or warlock
no other class in the game has 4 specs
doesnt matter, blizzard moto is still buff the mage or warlock
and a bunch of special modes for the transforms
look at dragons and dh to lesser extent for who got screwed on the transforms
still buff the mage or warlock
what has warrior ever got exclusive
i would say give us super sayan but we got ss1 with avatar
and its very temp
i have a question, when crafting a 1-hand weapon*, does it matter which one i craft? mace/sword/axe?
no
love how playing alts when none of your friends want to be the tankbitch is just impossible
Looks like it's the gun for you
they already have this
The joys when you want to play Dps for once
its called tempered in battle my hpal cohealer kills me with it at least twice a raid night
do you not notice yourself doing shit dps in real time
your damage meter should be huge and directly in the middle of your screen, so you cant miss it
like this
🤣
If it’s 3 am in your local time I can be a tank bitch, I have vaults to fill 
My ass rogue always wait the weekend to kidnap a friend to tank 8 dungeons
question, been fortunate in drops ive got a 665 eye of kezan and 665 improvised seaforium pacemaker. i just got a 658 tome of lights devotion. thoughts on which ones to run? i had been running the first two and now contemplating the tome since it seems really good.
new to prot but having fun
Fixed a bug causing Shield Charge to deal damage extra times or to targets near their starting position.
So uhhh
- how long has this existed
i am upset that this new prot player has everything ive been wanting all season
- how much impact is that
anyways tome is better in st than aoe
eye of kezan is better on long fights OR if you chain pull in dungeons
pacemaker kinda good always
you have our 3 bis trinkets and only 2 slots to run em. unfortunate
suffering from success
i play arms and fury mostly. also have 665 capitol punisher and 665 best in slots lol
just been trying to learn prot some and do it mostly in delves and baby keys that are forgivable
in delves u can just pull the whole damn instance n be fine
yeah
wtf does that even mean
genuinely wish they'd quantify this
ive just been lucky with drops
Are the tier lists updated with the upcoming tuning uet?
i noticed it since the patch, when you charged it would play the animation where you started from and did damage / would also do it where you ended
and then if you cast shield charge from range you would get an extra hit as well
so just something with the .5 patch then?
would explain people asking about SC being bugged
and i was like uhhh
"do you mean when you collide with objects or z-axis"
and then they said nothing
holy
Just figured that i can not pull the same way as dh bc some mobs walk past me and i have to position differently, first pulls of meadery are tricky to group at least from a low experienced pwar perspective
Watching sense's videos helps figuring this out but i still need to actively think about it, end of my non asked war update hope youre having a good night
idk first pull of meadery feels fine?
Dh has better kit unfortunately
only pull that I feel is awkward really is like first pull of Rookery honestly
First pull yes but left after chewie not much but i was in a bad spot
That too, up to now right pull coming to me is based on hopes and dreams
Checked Sense's 16 on rookery and felt validated since he basically does the pull the same way I do
just feels particularly meh
For that kind of stuff, about pulling and not about rotation or whatever maybe i should record myself? I guess that helps in a review
btw it will help you with VDH too
cause you cant parry from back hits
so you will mitigate a lot more when RNG allows it
maybe not to a huge extent but you will likely notice it
the only drawback is youll probably overheal a lot more but thats not really a drawback tbh
Yes but as vdh i can tag groups with glaive or sof and at leaast they run to me, backhits have never been a problem really, i get more as pwar for sure as im less comfortable
yeah not having SoF is felt sometimes
yeah im just saying it will help with all tanks honestly
i would say to a noticeable extent, but not huge like since most of them just have armor active mit
block, parry, dodge all have the same positional requirements
so improving on prot war will influence positively on all other tanks you play
Yes that makes sense
btw nimchip i did my first 12 as pwar and i think it was way better than before, still a way to go in SB but all the other stuff you told me i think were better
do we have a preference between scrapfield and bombsuit?
bomb suit is best defensive trinket in the game
scrapfield's a decent stat stick with an ok fallback defensive mode
bombsuit is the best at its clear role
it's just an extra IP
it's like practically nothing
theres a lot of times i wish i had an extra IP
dont tell me you've never managed to rage starve on priory 1st boss
well im still a scrapfield enjoyer (never got anything better than hero track scrapfield)
it's got mainstat, it's mostly got haste
sometimes it gives you an ip
totally serviceable trinket
thats fine
my vault simply refuses to give me trinkets and i cant craft them
im never getting the 675 achieve
i feel ya
ig it doesnt help that ive only been getting 2 vault slots each week lately
roster boss means no 2 myth raid slots yet
i prob got the vexie trinket at some point tho 🤔 maybe i need to upgrade it just for the achievement
thats myth track right
yea ok
restored
what are some of the best physical comps with prot warriors? just 2-3 examples would be great
Prot-Monk-Feral-Hunter if monk is heal get rogue aswell
i thought most still run UH dk
yeah you want a UDK instead of a rogue
just cover lust and brez, mystic touch, and you got a pure phys comp
hunter is the only ranged that can fit it
rsham are also probably required for it
need that skyfury
or any shaman fits really
not hard to figure out
Go to bed Nim smh
I'm sorry. Hope it's not too painful.
even though we're not even deep into mythic
oh its going painfully alright dont worry
XD

damn and i thought me waking up at 9 and it being 1:18am was bad
idk why but I thought you were in Cali
where east coast tho
thank god i have absolutely jack shit to do this weekend
are u in east central florida
no
damn
dude is trying to stalk you Nim, careful
not even close
not me being kicked from a 15 cinderbrew because i can't skip double hops... can i even do that as non NE?
do you have a vid of it getting done via death skip?
i just... have never done it, so i have no idea how to properly do it
i mean you do the same thing as meld, except for meld you die
the problem is if you have no way of stopping the patrol, youre kinda fucked
as in, your group
your group needs to have a way to stop the patrol
no, paralyze works for that
that stops the patrol at the corner
they rop after
to the side
do the hops like, follow the para target?
yeah, i just wasn't sure they would go far enough to sneak by
good to know i can get a monk to do it though
you don't need a priest for that?
i guess you prolly can't soothe the hops anyway
so irrelevant
How to skip double hopgoblin as monk. Don't need shroud/invis as long as everyone hugs the wall.
sure or more than that
without the hops it's fairly safe i'd imagine
this changes a lot lol, really good to know
i like monk for ipa anyway so, yeah
Healer monks are the underated Chad's that stick with the war which is nice
Hello, in Motherlode when playing the Machine + Specialist with 3rd boss, is there some "trick" to bait the "swirlies" away from the group? Does anyone know how exactly the Specialist ability works?
i only pull the machine, not the specialist, so not sure
i pull the machine, wait for charged shot to start, then into boss
Is it because I'm bad, or is there supposed to be one to three seconds of downtime in shield block every now and then?
almost never when you get 4pc in my experience
From what I have seen if you pull the one with the specialist you either root the specialist where it is or hard CC it until the boss is basically dead and there's a big safe spot.
Is there a known reason why the top Chinese prot warriors seem to value orc so much when it comes to m+?
chinese players races dont get tracked
so its defaults to orc
Maybe its just the race he likes the most, which helps dealing 1% more damage
oohh that actually makes a ton of sense.
yea theres no api access like for eu and na
raid prog for example gets added manually
No racism in China, because China numbah one!
If you ain't kul tiran you ain't kul tryin
what ilvl should i be for each key level lol
oh well ill get all +2s
just got 640 so that should be good enough
oh btw
have any ideas on a "joke" weapon i could tmog my weapon into?
and or shield too
dont have to match
i currently use Cookies Tenderizer lol
Good players can do 10s at 640, if you don’t have much experience just go at your rythm, knowledge is more important than ilvl at that point
oh
thanks!
ill stick to lower ones for now
i dont feel confident
i want to try all tanks exept guardian ||dont liky furry||
ok all +2 done
man im so used to wait 30m-1h per dungeon
this is crazy
i dont think ive waited more than 1 minute
i thought people were exaggerating
tank privilege
supply and demand innit
nice, move on up to 6s
o
isnt it best to farm 7s? for crest and hero gear?
need those 10s for vault
Sure but they need runed crests and it's basically impossible to cap on gilded at this point if you're only just starting
i dont think i will see any +10s the next 2 weeks. im super fresh on my warrior
ig you could trade gilded -> runed
is a myth ring better as cyrce's circlet?
Are Capo's molten knuckles any good for prot (assuming you dont plat ascendance embleshiment)? or is the lack of secondary stat the reason no one is using them?
ezclap
Defensively yeah, the lack of stats is bad, and part of it I'm sure is that it drops from Mug'Zee so a 675 crafted is better unless you have a mythic one, and even then, WW, rogues, and dh are higher in priority for it in most cases because they can run it in off hand for proc
what ilvl do you have`?
I've been testing the waters on my BrM and its pretty cozy, +2 a 7 db at only 630 ilvl
I should try my brew
did they fix the button bloat on brew?
somewhat
Rushing Jade winds isn't really taken, so thats one less
I think there were a couple others but not 100% familiar with the changes
anyone else having freezes when tapping in or out of the game?
I think even a fully upgraded heroic ring is better
Gotta sim it of course
Thanks! 🙂
depending on stats/gems but you should sim it with the ring enchanted and double gemmed on simc for most accurate
642
im considering returning that motherboard for something better
after i hear more horror stories, now believing the item may be cursed before i even try it
just return it and get a good one
the one gpt reccomends
cost as much as the damn cpu
im think about return it, aint hit the button yet
gpt is just
idk man
im not sure id trust it
it might be good at some things but
not everything
Baby prot, do I craft a sword, shield, or both first?
shield to live sword if ego
Hmmm.. I am a god...
craft a new brain maybe
If someone asks you if you're a god... you say yes.
no
So in seriousness, looks like shield first then sword likely, as I'm not raiding
Shield has a big dps impact too
Armor conversion to strength on the talent tree makes shield both a defensive and offensive gain
Because it has a ton of armor
thats less than you imagine over weapon dps
meanwhile i dont care that much about my damage as long as im invincible lol
can anyone explain to me how does tome of light's devotion work? xd
you click it to swap stances
and over time it auto swaps
stay in sword as long as possible for damage
You read your enemies to death
i still dont get it xD
If you’ve ever been to a catholic wedding you’ll understand how reasonable that sounds
can you dumb it down a bit more
not anything
It's really that simple. If it's on sword, leave it. If it's on book, swap if possible
It’s got two modes, book and sword, each mode goes to 50 stacks. At 50 stacks it changes modes. The on use forcibly changes it to the opposite of its current mode and doubles the effect for a bit. Sword mode = crit book mode = magic shield
TLDR when book mode activated press trinket to go back to sword
me when i said that in 3 short sentences
ah me understand now
me need weakaura for it to ooggaa boogaa in dungeon
i am at 30% crit with pacemaker its giga
It's a pretty annoying trinket in dungeons. Get stuck on shield a lot
does the bugfix for shield charge actually affect our dmg?
ret pally dies to boiling flames
0 interrupts
”no rally?”
He said he wanted it easier but really he just needed my wall of text
It’s never on shield if you track it with the wa
not unless you were making it a point to shield charge from range
mr sense is thane becoming the move to parse as the damage buff increases
as adds will evaporate
lmao
most people doesnt seem to interrupt or use defensives
I was considering marks or ret to do all my 10s for dps but I might just craft a 2h and do it as arms
And then rsham for the healing one
Gonna do Roid proud
I have it, just sometimes you get to pulling a lot of stuff and it switches over in the middle of the 2 min cd
So I'm getting trucked by last boss in Rookery, when the wave and the circles comes at the same time I have to choose, which one should I choose?
15 cinderbrew, failed a million times, i died during first pull last night, MW monk. i have done that pull with disc priest, hpal, rsham, and been fine, but MW monk couldn't refill my health faster than it drained. is this a me problem or a him problem?
i did the same thing i always do
I think you'd have to show a log so we can see your rotation/opener. If u have a better healer, they could be covering your mistakes easier. MW shouldn't have any issues on that first pull though because they excel at healing in aoe
i ravager the middle pack, shield charge to it, throw the left pack, roar to aggro the remaining 2 packs, demo shout, and i roll defensives. i only overlap last stand with shield wall
my health bar literally just drained, i didn't get like, globaled
can see if i can find the log
obviously i avatar on pull to get the free SW
The healer prob wasn't great then. Not a MW specific issue though
i really don't know how MW works, i just know bubble
i've had one really good MW a long time ago, on a 9 priory on week 1, "sweggles", dude was doing over a million dps on bosses
is all their healing just smart heals via dps?
They still have their CDs like floating Jedi and green bubble, but yeah a majority is smart heals
you likely didnt parry / reset bleed stacks, should look to back out for a few globals / shockwave to make sure it drops
that would be unlucky, i have 37% parry (i thought pacemaker increased my parry but does not seem to be the case)
but i have definitely seen myself at 10 stacks of the bleed
Lol that guy is one of the best MW
Which ones do the bleeds?
patrons
The most generic looking bastards, too, which is the worst part
hello everyone, having warrior on max lvl since this wednesday, did some dummy testing and im curious, why under casts i cant see use of Shield charge (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/z48FPfG1hbHV6m2a?fight=last&type=casts&source=12) even tho on dmg taken of dummy its visible dummy took dmg from this ability? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/z48FPfG1hbHV6m2a?fight=last&type=damage-taken&hostility=1&source=14&ability=385954&view=events
shield charge is bugged right now
it has weird issues with damage
thats why they are fixing it on tuesday
oh and thats why i cant see it in logs?
i was worried whats going on since i was 100 % sure i used it
im not 100% sure, but its likely
i see
yeah shield charge is fucky atm
anyways - any of u here does log reviews? I know its only dummy but im trying to see what to improve - ideally i would love to know what should i check in logs? I log review my BDK no issue but pwas is very new to me. I usually check:
- if i overcapped resoureces
- SB and IP uptime
- If ui used DMG CD on CD
Would probably prefer them not to be dummy logs though tbh. Dummy logs can be super weird
agreed
how come? I was told that in raid i dont need to have it up if im not active tank but i thought in m+ or if i actively tank on boss i should have it up?
dummies are not representative
IP is not your active mitigation
its SB
as long as youre using IP when over 70+ rage, youre good
its uptime doesnt matter
we do log reviews on dungeons and raids
so if you have those, feel free to tag us
IP ends up being pressed a lot as a rage dump; you don't need to consider it much beyond that. If your'e doing really hard content, it can be a good idea to use it liberally leading up to a dangerous hit, but that's niche
understandable
me, Luerce are usually good to check depending on what we got going on
:)
well - ill be fully honestl with u, my war is 655ilvl and i was extemely suprised how smooth class feel. Im coming from BDK which i play for years and i just dont get how pwar is stable. I did even +12 today on mentioned ilvl and it felt SO EASY
its stable due to SB
I’m glad you’ve chosen to be honest with us
I lie a lot
Lmao no don’t do that
honestly - my guild disbanded and i got offer from pretty high WR guild but they want me to have alts rly and they offered pwar and pwar was always quite close to me somehow
im last 8 years one trick BDK so this whole experiance is quite crazy to me, i dont understand how ppl can swap from shield tank to no shield tank 
have it open somewhere
so you know whats blockable and whats not, whats spell blockable and whats not, reflectable etc
its always updated
oh ye, i saw that - i deffo will go trought it
Never


Has anyone been following the mdi
yeah im watching
How’s it been with the new rules?
and watched the latter half of friday's
the new rules properly take effect tomorrow
what new rules?
so far its the same old TGP
Gotcha
classes are banned tomorrow
fri-sat all teams have virtually ran the same meta comp
so
new classes tomorrow
ah i see
100% tank changes for sure
How many days is it
3 days, 4 groups
Oh well
so 4 weekends and then a final weekend
reformed echo (naowh + gingi) played this weekend on friday as Wunderbar
I assume they're just gonna cycle through tanks and healers and 1 dps spec and end up on vdh and disc lmao
Oh interesting
some prot pally dungeons today, but they far behind VDH
well i saw bear tank and i think resto shammy healer
i dont get prot, brew .... i hear its in rly bad bad spot
its not
brew is perfectly viable
if anything bear is the underling cause their damage fucking blows
that doesnt mean they arent capable
i mean, all tank are in the end
whats the haste cap for prot warrior? Ive heard you want 25% crit atleast, then haste but is there a number or % where you rather go mastery/vers?
No cap
theres not a set number
Min 17k
just equip haste until you can comfortably manage SB
My sims put me at like 19k as highest DPS so
after that you can go for other stats
oh that reminds me - i assume u guys sim your gear same as BDK does ?
then its same
sim type will differ due to APLs
thats what i meant as to "how"
1 target, 3 min or 5 min sims are fine
we dont do dungeon slice here
if you want a proper aoe sim, you need to 5t patchwerk 1.5min/1min sim
but usually ST sim is fine
ty ty!
we do have a custom APL for tome though, which is pinned
gives accurate numbers for it
and eye of kezan sims will always have to be 5m+
but those are not very ordinary cases
i assume that custom APL assumes u keep book only on crit buff right?
cos i play book on BDK and have WA to use on use of book only when i swap to that armor buff we dont wanna be in
and yup i know eye is worthy only on 5+ min fihgt, thx ❤️
yes basically
i never enjoyed anvil, dreadplate was nice
we have a rageheart, its called Mud, still worse than the partial shield trinket (treemouth then, bomb suit now)
and we have a dreadplate
its called tome
tome isn't nearly as good defensively or in aoe as dreadplates, though
thats just nit picking
its an equivalent
and a really good trinket
same as v2.0 dreadplates
Loes
it was mediocre in ST, though
I think that's actually a notable difference between them, as well as how they get used
sure, same situation as anvil vs cataclysmic signet
It is the same "chain combat/long combat equals big damage" thing, though, as Anvil and DF Signet
Only difference is they made it harder to chain, since I wager they intended for those trinkets to be for mostly long raid fights and didn't like people constantly chain pulling in M+
Since iirc Kezan dies faster than Signet stacks
little do they know, that just means people who are using it will aggressively chain pull even harder
Will be interested to see what dungeons we get next season
Wonder if we see a dragonflight dungeon
Bring back atal'dazar
BFA AD
I’d really like to see de other side
not DF AD
Just so we can have iqd memes
DoS too long
Do you guys have a preferred general prot WA you use or do people just default to luxthos?
We need Vanilla BRD, full dungeon
Give it more bosses, too
We need a 2+ hour M+ dungeon
we default to whatever feels best for us individually
we dont really hive mind WA packs
Sorry we had that last expansion. With dawn of the whatever
More floodgate, less brd please
I built my own, personally, since this is my main. If you use a general class suite like Luxthos, you'll have to do the usual pruning to limit what it shows to what you actually care about
no you split those
And it still wasn't as long as vanilla BRD because you couldn't mass pull and there's a lot of fuck-all-nothing-happening running around
u do that in m+ technically then
Not really
well u cant make much mechanics for 5 ppl rly
Sure you can
You just can’t do much in the way of dividing the group
Single soaks? Check
Group soak? Check
Avoid swirlies? Check
Damage checks? Yep
Healing checks? Yep
We need more mechs that require you to sacrifice a party member.
thats harsh
idk, i wish some bosses in raid werent WA bosses
this tier its not THAT bad
its still cringe af
hashi is not following the memeing
It was funny during early Razzy G kills when someone would get the circle thing and have to run out into the bad area and die so everyone else could keep killing her
If it helps, I'm only half-memeing, because it's funny as fuck to me to always scapegoat the 1 friend
I have a pecking order, even, of who gets all the shit depending on their tier of "Everything is this one's fault and they deserve the greatest misery for the suffering they have caused me"
that's the important tier list
lmfao
I was doing a +10 floodgate
just killed bubbles
affix orbs spawned so I was like sure I'll get those
I charged to an orb straight through like 5 bubbles bubbles that were left over
dead
Charge and heroic Leap, unintentionally killing me since 2017
try surv and harpoon -.-
Sense occasionally streams on twitch.
i default to luxthos but i modify it
will happily share mine with u, if u like it
Hi am i tripping or wasnt there a procc or sth that caused shield slam to hit more than 1 target
I believe that was an old tier set
Could someone point me to a Ravager WeakAura that shows the remaining duration of my active Ravager?
managed to do 10s and had fun, this char might actually happen
If I don't lose motivation looking at the gilded cap
gilded cap goes away in 1.5 resets
that means you have to run infinite dungeons, nim
not on my warrior
You have to
Blizz is gonna send in the dungeon police
If you ever stop running dungeons, they'll get ya
And put you in The Room
Funnily enough I don't think I'll even get stuff to spend them on fast enough
I guess I could rat my way into some mythic runs to at least have a chance, but the first 4 are going to run out of drops eventually
huh
And before you ask, I've had turbo garbage M+ slots whole season, and I don't expect that to change
we arent in pre-TWW
you get a metric fuckton of gilded from keys
i cap in like 2-3 runs
obviously it depends on key level
Yeah but going higher at my current
ilvl isn't happening, so it'll be like sub 10 keys
16 per run? against the 810 cap or something?
Then again I'll probably be stuck for that amount of runs just in Priory
Gotta say I'm not a big fan of the nameplates
in Disc
Shit's gonna end up looking like MySpace eventually XD
i assume its dragon wow p,ayers who are lawyers or maybe its dragon age some mmo
they one blizzard "stole dynamic flying" from
tbf tbh i could see this being from australia too
for the what
oh prots
no
there is but you cant reach it
just stack haste until you can manage SB comfortably
that's about it
16k min for comfy SB uptime with ITF, if lower just swap to HR... at around 19 to 20k you can just keep stacking haste or swap to other stats
assuming you have 4pc, otherwise those numbers change
I didn’t wanna answer because I didn’t know what the ports meant
And I didn’t want to confidently say something and then be told I’m an idiot
yeah sorry for my misspell. not my first language and ty very much for the answer
Dpsed mythic as fury that’s not fun at all
So much thinking for so little dps
Why can’t they just give me a gladiator dps spec so I can live my shield swinging fantasy
Is it normal to be doing more damage with 664 war than 670 vdh? Did ws14 today as war and did 1.5M overall, when I did it as vdh I did 1.4M and I should be playing better vdh than prot, similar kill times and same pulls both
Yes that’s normal and 1.5 is actually pretty low
At 665 for most dungeons I’d expect you’d be around 2m min
Workshop isn’t a huge pull dungeon so 2m is prob par for where you’d wanna be
But there's literally no one in the world that has done 2M overall in ws14 in logs 😦
I mean I'll try harder hahaha, I could've done better I'm misaligning my CDs so many times
Yes, log DPS, I don't remember details dmg
Different things
Then yeah that’s still normal but it will be tough to hammer down an exact comparison bc most people don’t log keys
vdhs cant really match up
unless they are FS
aldrachi is like 20% lower than us
easily
Warrior is gonna outdps every other tank consistently
Bdk did get close with good rng but over the long haul we will win out
Raid
I’d never do a key as fury that’s gross
First 3
We needed war buff and I don’t have arms gear
yes you do, youre prot
Too much haste
I got a bunch of mastery heavy haste gear for fury
oh, gross
It’s really not
it really is
You’re always having to switch prio on fury depending on if you have enrage or marked stacks
I vastly prefer arms and find it much easier
yeah cause watching jugg stacks, rend uptime, opportunist procs, SD stacks, and tier procs is a lot easier than just pressing rampage
It is for me, lol
god forbid you play Collateral
besides MT fury is comparable
even have top 5 to 20 in the early fights
no reason to play slayer if its too much
hell MT fury is pretty much rik and 1ab, very little slayers
Angry man shout is very important
Can you still skip one of the bloodwarper box packs by doing the box in a certain spot?
Yes. Easier if you priest soothe before you heroic leap there
Just leap on the edge and micro move until box becomes interactable
Biggest weakness of war for me. I dislike war dps
I was wondering if it was solo-able
Are demon hunters straight up better than us at tanking ?
Kit and syng with party buffs vh is better tankieness and dps wize i beleave warrior is on top so i am told but there tool kit and dmg buff for magic dmg works better with current meta also doesnt help we cant self heal adding more stress on healers like attack power does nothing for boomkins mages and the like
Very new to prot warrior and just rolled the Colossus build as it seemed fotm but wondering about MT. If i get beyond 10s I'll be surprised & I assume CS vs MT at that level is inconsequential. What's the diff fun wise?
Colossus higher dmg less rage mt higher single target and in gen ezier for newer ppl to use due to more rage to play with but in gen colossus just big number
over all they about the same tho at lower keys
i'll give mt a go. ta
man i went back to dps yesterday and
i didnt have as much fun
maybe tank has secretly been my calling all along
i played 2 keys and was bored
but i played 12 in a row as tank with no issues

idk, 15 cinderbrew has almost ruined this game for me, not looking forward to pushing that one higher
that shit makes me wanna just dps
everything hurts, if anyone makes a mistake it almost always leads to a wipe
If you have 3K you're in the 6% or players. If you're doing 15s you're already cream of creams, so yeah you have to play perfect with the best pulls and skips
i mean, every other 15 i did in one attempt, and that one took a lot, DFC is the only other one that took more than one try
the difficulty difference seems insane
I'm in 14s, where do you have issues with DFC?
Its mostly a healer dungeon for boss 2 and 3 and you have as a tank to vanguard the cart area and pre-pick tons of mobs to stack with candle. Healer needs to baby sit you
in short yes by miles and its not close. Especially in M+. There is A LOT of reworking for prot war that needs to be done for it to be competitive in M+. Prot war is good for raiding ig bc of the dmg but id say they are being pushed out for a pally and bdk. Generally speaking imo Prot war is arguably one of the worst tanks in the game but has possibly the highest potential if blizz would take some time with it... Great dmg, Great survivability as long as there are no casters and you have enough rage to keep everything up but other than that they dont have much going for them.
