debating between buying a tome and a weapon on the bear
already went myth tome for warr
i need to get nitro just to make it my pfp lmfao
lmao
i did my first time ever tanking in tw level 58 
almost died 
should i use last stand if i go big too or rly just when my health drops and i realize i need the 30%
there isnt really a specific case, but the latter might be a good pick
its also good to use victory rush / impending victory during it
since its HP based
and IP since its cap goes up with total HP
i didnt play prot in s2 of df, did ppl like the last stand based tier or nah?
it was fine? pretty strong
yeah it was decent
not exactly rich gameplay, you just played bolster and pressed last stand on cd
last stand is inherently not a good defensive
requires a bunch of external stuff to make it decent

it's a relic of old world tanking
just wondering if baking that bonus into a talent on the tree would make LS more interesting overall or if it would just be a bandaid on a bullet hole
i don't think we need more medium cds we press every time they're up
press em in order like ffxiv
i actually want them to be empower spells like evokers have
anyone know if there's a way to hide cell if youre on tank/dps ?
and each one buffs the next
or where's the option to do it
hmm
Apparently Quazii's cell profile has some code for it
yeah but quazii's ui is running only on it
im using it on healers, but i have to manually disable it every time
for tanks and dps
ah gotcha
hmm, then yeah idk
i dont know if theres a native feature to disable for certain specs
how much harder does time walking tanking get at level 70?
Just checking, is House of Cards and Tome our two go-to trinkets, with Bomb Suit as our defensive option in harder content?
tome + pace
or HoC + pace
or pace + bomb suit
HoC is in the dinar list because its not farmable, except for once a week
Any general guidline when to pick House of Cards over Tome vs other way around?
Tome is better in ST
they are interchangeable though
HoC is better for on demand burst, so any bosses that have damage amps favor it like Vexie in raid, or Momma, Voidstone, Coin Operated Crowd Pummeler, etc
Platinum Pummeler, etc
and read the explanations
I do have the explanation up, but it really doesn't give very nuanced information when the only words of value you have to go for is "extremely potent"; "very powerful"; "the best"; and "extremely powerful"
Sim does say that House of Cards and Pacemaker are my best options for AoE, and Tome + Pacemaker/House of Cards are essentially identical in single target
how are you simming AOE
5 bosses 1m30sec
And single target as 1 boss 5m
right
Check the layout options in cell and disable it for non healer roles, right side of the tab
Layouts can be chosen for roles, spec and content you are in
i can get myth track seaforium would that be better to get then Heroic House of Cards?
likely
its higher on our list in wowhead, so yes
means it sims higher
found it, thank you
Why not use it as tank too? Just curious
i have everything set up on elvui
i dont want to migrate stuff
really dont need it
i just started healing again after a huge while so i figured i would move to cell since vuhdo is a nono
or outdated
Fair point
gettin back into tankin, I should build up colossal might stacks before sending demolish right?
Send it!
is the different in rage generation between crit/mastery/vers noticeable?
is there a weakaura to track the magic hits rixxa fluxflame, she's super scary when i play prot
look at ur health bar
if it gets chunked u got hit
hope this helps
all her hits are magic damage
Who is rixia flux flame
Third boss motherlode I reckon
at 630 what build shud i run to do those +10s?
what ever build your comfortable with
ah ty
isnt there a more defending build?
i managed to tank ++10s was abit hard đ
farming those crest is anyoing at low ilvl
just notice i dont have the 658 rnig đŽ
what quest in the island is for the ring?
sim
is this right
yes
isnt that pre-nerfed Legendary Skipper and didnt we swap to highest secondary stat gem?
Hi everyone I usually play tank DK or DH sometimes paladin too. I'm starting to approach Warrior protection.Following the guides sometimes I run out of rage or any Skill to press. I apply Always be casting to every class I play. Is the warrior different or am I doing something wrong?
is this viable
While still leveling prot does it make sense not to have high uptime on SB or am I missing something
Yeah, leveling is ultra scuffed for a lot of specs, most tanks included
What specifically makes level 80 have 100% uptime possible?
Haste
Haste, this talent helps until that point
Also the +2 seconds from Enduring Defenses
your mostly likely overspending , or doing somthing incorrectly
but cant tell without logs

I'm just following the Archon prot build and that one has "Into the Fray" instead. I guess that's mostly for higher key levels?
gm jakey
you play that with haste and tier
Jake it til you make it
All you really need is hr talent.
how do you log e.g mythic+ dungeons etc...? so i can check my parse?
ty
Basically you enable something in network, then you type /combatlog to turn on (we mostly use an addon for that), when you finish your dungeon if you donât live log (I donât) you open wcl in your game and upload the latest log
Dontâ Forget to delete your logs on your computer after uploading them / or once a while, because they can take a lot of space
that true, thank you. I want to see when i start doing m+ and raids how well i play the spec đ
Anyone having issues with resto druid hot aggro when gathering larger pulls? Had some issues when I canât tag all mobs immediately that they instagib the druid due to hot aggro before I can catch them
Not really, and I donât think Resto HoTs are crazy aggro generators, so even if they started healing me earlier than necessary and a couple mobs aggroed onto them, seems like a tclap or a roar or even a revenge would solve the problem
You donât necessarily need to log yourself for the raid because there is always a government spy among the 20 dudes, but for m+ you have to log yourself bc almost no one does
Are you noticing it all the time or only in really big pulls or what
I got FD 17 and i'm no NELF. It's imperative to start using skips at this level, right?
Maybe if the Resto has Natures Vigil up? đ¤ But yeah shouldn't be an issue any bigger than other healers usually
Imagine your route takes 10% more time bc next key lvl, if you had 10% remaining in 17, you will time the 18
Fighting shit like bubbles on 17 would be troll af. Or mini bosses in top.
You scrap time by removing pulls / if you canât find somewhere to delete a pull then bubble skip it is
You also have to account bubble will do 10% more damage, maybe your healer will cry if you do bubble then sleeping guy with the casters after him
No, but if other dps are going in while gathering and the Druid is not standing near you they may overtake on the gather which is what I expect youâre seeing
Aka the âstarfall dilemmaâ
But one tclap should be enough to prevent that
Only big pulls where I canât hit everything with tclap or roar. For example first room in Workshop
Donât really have that issue with dps as the ones I normally run with know to wait until theyâre somewhat gathered. Itâs only specifically with resto druids and rolling hots during large pulls
Charge first pack, clap, charge second pack, revenge, leap to third pack and clap, body pull fourth pack and revenge/clap as you converge to center
Roar as they all close in
I usually aoe taunt there too
I resort to aoe taunt to ensure the healer doesnt die, but optimally I would like to keep it for bomb casts. I pull similarly to how you say, but thereâs usually a couple of the further back mobs which are not hit with clap or roar
That pull in particular is pretty shit, I usually bring a mm hunter for work and flood
But you can get it all you just have to be aware of your tclap range
Doing it without getting hit in the back is the hard part
You can mass stun if you really want to secure aggro, keep the mass kick for the casts
I just did it last night without a hunter and it wasnât bad but I can see how it might be tough if you donât have a lot of gather experience playing colossus on war
It can also help if you tell all your ranged to stand on a marker
Thatâs how we handle floodgate - ranged stands in one place then packs all converge to a known point and itâs easy for you to get all the threat because you know where theyâre going
Yeah, guess the hots just highlight any flaws in my pulls better than direct heals
if its up to me, most times i take a priest or paladin healer
depending how well they hit time hitting fade/bubble
doesnt druid have some drop aggro shit? could just be rogue brained lockpicker
but i think druid >cat > stealth> vanish?
even thought that is wrong
If the healer is getting aggro to the point they die itâs a tank problem
also name
ok yogi
im serious
shield charge in dark ages vs oof my head
which by is like 80% the way there anyways the 2nd one
The only case where healer aggro isn't your issue is on the first pull of Priory if some Boomkin/Hunter decides to camp at max range and manages to get the sharpshooter jumps there
Genuinely still not an issue tho
Just heroic throw them as you move in
The dps might die but then theyâll be back in you
Hunters do be max ranging though
Iâm forever pinging hunters
i have had more hunters come to melee than any mage or ele shaman
in the past i would agree with you but idk what changed lately
I wish I could say it's because more people were playing survival but it's not true 
How big a loss is not playing spell block nor spell deflect? (I hate them)
Massive
huge
spell block is a huge defensive
its so big, that you shouldnt use wall with it
crit spell blocks can be 100% DR
Spell block is worse ams but still crazy good
Well maybe not worse ams bc it has reflect
oh
i mean its a 25s cd
vs 1 min
and can reflect, 20% MDR without reflecting
so i wouldnt exactly say its worse, its just different
they can
depends
MDR on SR does
reflecting depends
if it has travel time it always works for reflecting or deflecting
Spell block, it depends if its spell blockable or not
hi i played a fun build yday
but most dangerous shit this season, if not 90% of it, is spell blockable
can take a look at our sheet
which is pinned
which fun build lol
that being said "hating" SR or even spell block... is a new take
i dont think ive heard it before
why would you play that
why
ego
no battering ram with our tier
what is tl
thunderlord
it aligns still
big modifier
what i swear it never aligns without
look at your cds
i also havent spammed prot
demolish comes up first and demo+avatar are literally less than 10s behind
without TL
usually its other way
that shouldnt be
demo like 5s before demolish
untalent TL, talent battering ram
im prob doing bad
youre scuffing yourself, our tier is built around SC
HR instead of in the fray is a dps loss too isnât it?
no
its only DPS loss if youre talenting it when you already have the required min haste
but its not if you dont have the min haste
talenting TL is a dps loss
the only reason you want it, is for the DR on extremely high keys
Nome did the sims very early in the season
our standard build is the highest dps
for aoe at least
eh not using spell block isn't a huge loss until higher keys
I don't use it enough and I do fine
huh
oh you mean the other convo
they might as well get used to using it, its a defensive
Yo, at any point do we need to skip the pull before azerokk? I got super destroyed bc i never drop stacks (my bad obviously) but it was just a 15 like how tf do i live this in a 17
i cant really pick much else for more damage
ps and kite
but there's lots of keys where I just don't press it cause I'm bad and never bothered learning those spots
and it's still fine
and soothe
but not recommended even by me
soothe
Im nelf
ik i have enough sb uptime with hr alone
pretty sure dropping 2nd wall is a lose if i use with demolishes
Im at 2% versa hahaha
This season has so much spell blockable stuff but most of it is targetted stuff that just tickles the tank anyway
Aight will do!
spell block is massive enough that you should respect it
surely more demo roar uptime is better in aoe vs battering ram
that and the SR MDR is the reason we're not "weak to magic" anymore
What are some of the most important spell block spots in your opinion
for me it's like
cinderbrew
big momma
big momma
big momma
Big momma
i think thats the only time i press it lol
shield on second boss priory
final stings
huh
but that hardly hurts us anyway
We almost had a big momma Yahtzee and you guys ruined it
wdym 2nd boss priory
Big bots in ML
youre not doing high enough keys yam
you can spell block the castigator's shield
theres no way thats relevant damage
Spellblock is also huge in work
can also spell reflect it tho
some uptime but it griefs the shit out of the healer getting the dispel
No it doesnât thereâs no dispel during the aoe
Rixxa
If the healer hasnât dispelled you by the time the aoe comes out they trollin
Iâm pretty sure I only survive Rixxa because of spell block
Spellblock is goated
leap -> dot -> aoe, if the healer has trouble topping people up they can be a lil late on the dispel
what is rixza
3rd boss ml
If the healer is struggling to top people after the leap in a key of any meaningful level then they shouldnât be there
Yam may be a little skewed on the perspective because they have been doing a ton of keys with a holy priest
No shade no shade
Offering context
nah I only gained this perspective after healing at 630ilvl
Holy priest may be the only healer that struggles there
But holy is dog water for m+ anyway
It struggles everywhere
nah it's fine
No itâs terrible, objectively
Itâs the only healer who has a mastery that has zero functional impact in m+ and youâre basically playing your spec with one arm because of it
You have no kick, no dr mitigations, no group wide recover, you have to stand still constantly, your main âcooldownâ is shit, I could write an essay about how garbage the spec is in m+ comparatively
Just because Jeff Gordon can win nascar gold in a go kart doesnât mean a go kart is great for nascar
Similarly just because a few savants do well with Hpriest doesnât mean the spec is fine in m+, the data tells us overwhelmingly it isnât fine
what do you define as "do well"
3400+
lol
But playing it at any key level, while viable, doesnât change the fact that relative to other healers itâs just poop
Completely lacking
so holy is objectively dog water because it struggles in the top 1% of content?
No itâs objectively dog water for all the reasons I listed above
I mean it's objectively not built for m+ and should be buffed/tweaked because it's weaknesses are awful
Fair. More so I guess Iâm saying when people who are at that level or point to that and say âitâs fineâ thatâs not valid
Healer balancing is always scuffed but it's like saying pwar is unviable because we were like 3rd or 4th in a couple seasons
Yeah but Hpriest isnât the same as pwar
There's fuck all pwars at 3400 too compared to vdh
Itâs mastery is breaking the class for m+
And blizz canât buff it without Making the class completely broken in raid
Thatâs horrible design for a healer and itâs why holy has been poop in m+ for like ever
I am a certified holy priest hater btw
I just don't think it's not viable
it just feels like shit
I didnât say it wasnât viable
I said it was relative to other healers poop
How do we measure âfineâ if not relative to other healers.
though I guess it feels bad if a spec isn't doing so hot because of numbers and not because something else is seen as the meta
like pwar vs vdh
pwar is more than capable at doing 3400 but all the people wanting to go that high just pick the fotm
đ
Holy is just playing on hard mode
Tbf thereâs 10 times more pwars at 3400 than Hpriest
I think that's just because hpriests can just change spec
rather than making a whole new class
I donât think so, maybe a little
But itâs been the least represented spec as a whole in m+ forever
yeah I mean holy sucks
Pres may actually be lower currently
but for like kujo leap before dispel
I struggled at 630 in a +7 to top people up
and the tank los'd me
As holy or disc
You shouldnât struggle there even at 630, unless it goes over 4 leaps in which case I guess maybe
But thatâs in a 7 and Iâm talking like 16+
ye I mean I'm objectively bad at healing
just saying I felt like I was getting a bit griefed by the tank by him sitting in the aoe
Just need more gear to carry your dps brethren
If the tank is eating the aoe and needs healed then yea heâs griefing you lol
My friend got bottle service on holy btw
0 issues ever since
They simply need to make that ability a holy priest ability
Trinket is goated for m+
For every spec imo
Itâs super nice on mist when you gotta get out of melee
It fixes the major weakness that holy has
you can move and aoe heal up rot damage
it's so nice
It does an obscene amount of healing with high haste
holy feels like it's just missing one cd (espescially if you don't play oracle)
My monk has 30k haste and with the focus tea haste buff Iâm getting like 30-34m healing
giga
IMO they only need to change three things
Make divine hymn channelable while moving
Change the mastery to be dynamic, so it applies echo during evangelism and does something else while not, like flat healing increase or renews or something
Give holy a choice node to make chastise a kick
The fact that a trinket is just divine hymn with a lower cooldown and 4x the healing is kind of nuts
But I digress this is the prot channel not the holy channel
yeah I agree
my friend refuses to play disc yet complains every season about how holy always sucks
lmao
but it's not like it matters, none of us care to go further than the rewards
Hey there was at least a season in SL where holy was good
doesnt holy deal big damage atm? atleast at +13 the look fine
big dam, terrible burst aoe heals (poh being decent again helps a bit), runs out of gas super fast and has terrible mana issues
Probably the most of any healer but you have to stop healing to dps
Which can be hugely problematic
would be nice if holy fire had like a penance-like thing
where it'd spread heals to friendlies
maybe cast holy fire on friendlies for a nice hot that spreads damage to enemies too
could be fun!
I think the primary issue is holy nova is your main dps filler and requires you to be in melee
honestly, delete holy nova
has anyone here run 17+ ML with a MW monk? i've done 17 ML to help friends a couple of times now and never died to third boss, but i had a MW and i could not stay alive, i even had to overlap wall, last stand, and bombsuit for one phase of autos...
I ran a 16 with a mw we bricked (but not because of him)
Rixxa is shit no matter what but he didnât struggle to keep me up there
I assume this isn't that MWs first time in high keys?
because if it is, the playstyle changes quite a bit for MW when you go high enough
because you have to actually use your amps
yes lol. i've done 17 ML before
okay just making sure
we also had no brezzes because he died twice during trash
but my health straight up was not going up, hence the triple overlapping defensives
If you werenât using cooldowns properly that would make it very hard for a mw in particular to keep you alive but at that key level he would almost certainly need to hardcast you during her damage phase
If heâs just slamming melee itâs not gonna be enough
yeah, i know for a fact he didn't cast anything
Well, depends on the health of the rest of the group
that's what i was wondering, like if he had to actually cast something
AT works kinda funny when you have less than 5 damaged targets it can heal
i thought target count dependency was fixed for MW
i pulled the machine with the boss so maybe that's why?? everyone else needed healing so i got none?
oh wait youre talking about friendly targets
Last I checked it was still in for AT, as in it will always heal 5 targets worth, even if there are less than 5 damaged targets
I usually rem>soothe>em>Viv the tank there but if they pull the other mob there too I always cocoon the tank during the aoe and chiji and dump vitality into heals
But yeah if the monk was not using brain it could be a very tough fight for you
Not to him
god I kinda wanna do higher keys but don't fancy pugging
need to get my 5man back together
listen you better be taking her to nice dinners
And some groups where the 3300 dps never kick and press no defensives and then flame the healer when they die to standing in consecrate in psf
Of course appledz special
In my experience pug healers are fine
it's always the dps players throwing
and then yeah, flaming the healer lmao
Ah, you haven't seen me heal
but then the highest keys I've done this season are 13 so
I have gotten some really good troll flamers lately
Yeah or me:
The best one this week is the guy/girl couple in cinder who said âthis isnât how they do it in the mdiâ when tanking ipa and I said âdps are also doing more than the tank in mdiâ
lmao
Poor girl she was very mad and said some mean things to me
I admit my response my toxic
I mean I'm up for some time trial/MDI pulls
I kinda just w-key'd my way to 3000 this season so didn't bother learning any skips or better routes
I think it's a reasonable response, someone throws shade, throw back
They always without a question end up with a dead team though
Tbh at this point you can probably w to 15s
I mean I didnât say shit the entire key, your boy is doing great dps Iâm down to carry you
But donât shade me
When youâre doing 2m overall at 675
The only thing stopping you from timing all 15s is not knowing what will kill you without a defensive
Can do W routes and time 15s
Just being a disc priest that does know
People do giga damage now
I'm fine for not dying
yeah
literally nothing has been hard so far
I donât think people really understand how much damage people are doing
Like itâs actually insane damage
A good mm hunter or dk is easily pulling 35-45m burst on a fat pull
And 10-12m reg
Trash literally just dies
You guys have puggers doing damage?
As the tank you have it made just form a group with a uhdk/boomkin/mage/or MM
At 12-15 yeah
my last key had a dude doing 900k overall
And theyâll turbo nuke everything
my last 13 had a guy doing sub 2m
Replace the boomy with mm for easy win
Canât lose threat when the dude misdirecting you is doing 25m dps
Are you doing sub 12
yeah that was on my disc yesterday
12s are the sweet spot right now
Everyone farming crests
Once you hit like 650 or so
12 might be tough at 630 because the tank is gonna yolo pull it
idk 650s have problems in 10
I pulled four packs with the last mini boss of priory last week the healer was very upset
I ain't going higher than 10s on my priest, just doing it for the chieve
i know cause nimchipadin has been dunking 10s and redoing 9s this week
I definitely feel my ilvl being low in 7s tho
with people not using defensives and kicking things
it's a struggle to pump people to full sometimes
If youâre oracle it can be
yeah I'm oracle
Donât be afraid to pop premonition and slam radiance if you gotta
wonder if VW is just easier til I gear up a bit
The heal spread premo with upen basically full tops
Then double radiance also can do some aoe work
And your weal stacked penance too
Youâll get used to the tools the more you play
it's kinda annoying how smite consumes weal and woe
The hardest thing for me as disc this season was understanding recover, knowing what to press to react
Like knowing I gotta send double radiance or people will die and then trying to unfuck the rest of my rotation as a result
This is why I enjoy pwar
Far less thinking involved
I hate bad tanks as disc
They take up so many of my shields that I could use on myself or a squishy dps
and make everything harder
See there's a very easy solution for that as disc
Just don't spend the shield on the tank outside of busters
If they die they die
You go next in 5 seconds

Yeah I'm slowly learning what to rotate and when
feels satisfying af when I perfectly reverse some aoe dam
but then other times the bars just don't move 
Heal priory 12+ first pull with Suleyman and knight, and you'll learn more in that fight than anywhere else
theres 0 reason to do that pull on a 12
Idk, good disc practice
It's a pretty easy pull though
the miniboss before the last boss hurts more and you've got to do that anyway
Did you do it or just theory about DPS and tank playing perfectly?
was just speaking about the necessity of the pull
All pug tanks will do it after 12. So heal smart
Wouldnât you do that pull in a 12 to start practicing that pull
I did that pull the very first priory (think it was 8?) I ran on my warr
We're talking about disc pov not tanking practice
As a healer I've had to deal with that pulls ultrachad version already
Crazy 3 AM russian tanks
But it worked
What I'm trying to say to @yam is that disc is cool until you reach some specific pulls like priory here or big guys hall in rookery. And them you learn the hard way that you need more practice to heal
If you consume X2 premonitions too early your pug will most likely die
The whole group practices pulls though no
Sure others have figured it out by now but I can do Sidestreet Sluice in just over 4 minutes on t11. Which means 45 runed crests every 12 minutes which convert into 15 gilded every 12 minutes. Is kinda boring and grindy but works. Nice for when you dont have the boys on for +10s or higher
who was the person that was arguing with me about "mole people" again?
ah yes it was the cat
@cerulean tusk mole people reporting in
I donât even have +11s unlocked. I donât even think I have 6s unlocked actually
thats ok
funky was just saying mole people dont exist
wait till we have to get the belt lmao
Are these 'mole people' in the room with us now? Don't worry Nim, take your pills, you know they will go away again after.
Bro was shocked to see that people with Brann level 80 exist, meanwhile mine has been 80 since three weeks ago and I wouldn't even consider that I do a lot of Delves lol
#protection message what about this guy

just wait funky
you will have to become a mole person too
when the belt hits
Sounds to me like there are more than one person that forgot to take their pills
đ
I will never play delves
other than when I need to for the belt
but other than that, NEVER
Arbyâs coming for the gamers
is it enought to spam those +10 to gear alts? im 630
i did some rat 10s at like 620 on my alts
if you know what your doing in the role youll be fine
indeed
Oh I dont fault you it isnt the most fun. I generally do the 3 11s a week with the wife and thats it. But im needing some gilded crests and no one is on Monday mornings.
Its very easy.
yeah you'll probably have to run your key up, i imagine pug gamers are pretty picky at this point in the season
especially since massively geared people are crest farming 10s to TURBO BOOST
damn, thought there'd be an influx of alts this week
no one wants to work tank any more...
i had my key as healer for like an hour
waiting for a tank
then i had my key as dps for like an hour
waiting for a tank
on nimchipadin
because obviously im never doing consecration gaming
yeah it's insane how tanks just don't exist <10s
even in 10s
Re: mole people belt
I know⌠Iâm less than excited
Also I still tank 10s for weekly vault keys. If you need a tank just ping me
they exist for 4 keys below then they are spamming 10s
wait do we know what we have to do exactly to get the belt
Some kinda special delves
as long as I don't have to unlock more tiers
Overpowered delves or super juiced delves or whatever theyâre called
Overcharged Delves. Thatâs what theyâre called
belt stinky
no stats all damage
well actually has like
trinket esque procs for stats
but still hate it
how do you even know
The previews of it. I mean its still ilvl main stat gains.
Yeah. it's gonna be bis and a nice stacking crit or haste proc
Prefer belt slot over ring tbh
carls jr > arbys
None of it matters to me unless getting the belt sucks and if it sucks then I hate it
But after I get it if itâs bis and helps make me suck less then I will love it
god what's the fastest way to do the circlet world quest thing
Trick your child/nephew to farm it for you
I just do the quests while doing any events that pop up
Works for me
and buy the gems on main
You can also not get it and craft two rings
Idk how poor that strategy is but if you really donât wanna get it, itâs an optionnnn
I just replaced it with an upgraded hero ring, so yeah
Shoot my bear doesnât have it and I just been vibing in keys
Both of them are gross
most american "restaurants" are, yes
Basically all fast food is disgusting with the exception of a few things imo. Both Popeyes and chick fil a have decent chicken sandwiches, outside of that I guess Wendyâs has an ok burger but given the prices of these places youâre better off just buying a whole ass meal at a real place
here we go
America is goated for bbq tho cmv
Why is restaurants in quotes
bear doesnt have what?!
cause he couldnt type fast food
I've traveled the world, pretty much nothing beats American bbq
In America you either eat worm and dirt or you eat macdongle burger
woaw based
no, it was that like especially in the midwest, fast food chains are "restaurants" for some reason
american food in larger cities is amazing
i mean im just gonna be picked on now, so i will be quiet
âLargerâ
brother I dont contribute anything meaningful here unless someone starts talkin about guardian druids

:D
now im just curious
12% shield block uptime or i riot
THE 0/0
I was like, 12/22 damn thats not too good, then i kept scrolling
this has to be a bit
4
Good for them
See this is the average person's experience with warriors tho
We need to remember our humble beginnings
ngl this is a gold mine of a log
my favorite part
is i thought he was mountain thane
because theres no demolish damage
What does 0/0 signify
afk
it means they did bad in general and bad for their ilvl
and by bad I mean, not playing the game bad
Oh, the parses
Gotcha
at least they blocked
~70% ish, but still
i was thinking they wouldnt press shield block
was pleasantly surprised
still bad though
One button rotation can't come soon enough
how are you active for 99.63% of the fight and still hitting numbers like that
How did you come across this log
this has to be an alt run or something
avg ilvl 666.8, which i guess doesnt mean much anymore but
man, this made my day
thank u weeshy
One day I will be able to throw stones
I mean, I'm better than this, but in comparison to others I might as well be this.
how do we find amount of hits blocked ive been curious for a while now and keep forgeting
Well we don't
There's about 0 of it.
Stance dancing has been dead for years
Stance dancing is kinda dead
Other than minor optimization ig
No.
no
nah
Not since this xpac no
Just sit in Defensive Stance.
wait fr
Dstance doesnt have a damage penalty anymore
def stance all the way.
OH SHIT FR???
Yes.
damn wowhead get ur shit together
they removed all d stance damage reductions
@strong forum called out
you basically dstance unless your parsing
we... write wowhead
You can still min-max with Battle Stance if you want to.
Nome defend your honor
where did you see this
man, nothing galvanizes this discord like stance-dancing
everyone fuckin crawled out the woodwork
cover your asses
I like that word, galvanizes
hey
thanks, its a good one
i was here posting logs before this
Technically it is more optimal to be in bstance if you're not at risk of dying
"Camping in either stance permanently is typically not the right way to play. Instead, you want to swap back and forth as the situation dictates."
naw its very much implying you should dance
I'll dance on your stance
If you know what I mean
||I don't know what I mean||
which is not really true
but it's so minor and in higher keys there's basically no scenario where you wanna give up 16% dr
"when you're not actively tanking" is the key phrase here
which you "should" in raid or low keys
i agree it could be re-written to actually explain its a minor optimization now
and sometimes in raid
it should say that then 
thats just common sense
to be fair that is a bit of nuance that gets lost on a lot of guide readers
is there any moment in keys when you're not actively tanking?
"or the content you're tanking isn't dangerous" this applies to keys <10-12
it just needs a sentence at the beginning
cause there isnt
you got me
im a dumbass
the only scenario youre not actively tanking is on tank swaps during a raid
thats it
you're safe here, we are all dumbasses
true
I used to think you had to cover shield block downtime with shield wall, we all swim down here buds
not me
but yeah, if stance dancing is why you dont wanna prot, you dont gotta worry
I'm a god gamer
This seems like a fair sentence that covers the confusion here imo
yeah thats why i mentioned the key phrase thing
The person doing the tanking will have to decide if what they're doing isn't dangerous,
We can't tell them that because we don't know their situation.
i think my favorite part of this log is the two revenges
just at two random points during the fight they were like. "hmm i'll try this on for size"
I don't disagree, but playing devils advocate... people (esp those new to tanking) don't always understand what is or isnt dangerous, and dps brain compels them to OPTIMIZE BIG NUMBIE so they ignore the nuances
I've watched new prots stay in bstance all key and fuckin die
and refuse to swap
you're so real for that
Slip into bstance during the damage amp on first boss in motherlode. Last boss in rookery. Things like that. These things won't ultimately matter, but if you're wanting to be technical, they are more marginally more optimal
i actually only hit buttons that do damage so like
I only bstance in raid
ignore pain? never
shield wall? try shield slam
yeah. ignore stances til you're comfortable playing prot warrior. then when you've got room in your brain, find some free damage moments when you feel like it. why not
Last boss rook I just stand there with my thumb up my ass for 5 mins while the dps weep
im completely new to tanking so
"Sorry you're going to have an add" is my favorite part of the last boss of Rookery with my friends.
tbh for the longest time ithought it was just a visual
I started the key in BStance, died because I played like shit, finished the key and remembered that I had BStance on 
maybe ill try it in legion remix who knows
and it was always gonna hit you
I wouldnt try a new role in a remix mode tbh
I tried to learn healer in mop remix, big mistake
thats actually impressive considering the game auto puts dstance on you
huge gaming
yeh as others said, sitting in dstance you'll be fine. won't be missing out on much. if you get comfy you can do more with it but those gains are pretty slim
you'd think, but people are obstinate in the weirdest ways
Taught me to love shadow priest
shadow priest 
Its like boomie but somehow easier
grab a shield, pick an easy route, and jump into a +2. Gotta start somewhere, its really fun once you get the hang of it :3
im new to tanking in wow specifically
you're an ffxiv player
ive done it in FF and I've come to kind of loath it in WOW cause of enemy gathering and the aggro system
you already have an advantage over beginner wow tanks
ok i got this guys
(you'll actually press your defensives)
press shield slam always> dont take back shots>win until you have to actually learn some stuff at like 12+
wow does require more effort
It's kinda hard to pick up defensive usage at first
but in the end its the same
i play outlaw rogue so my defensives are off gcd
you wanna max dps as tanks in xiv
because i play the best class in the game
This is a fact
so fucking annoying
well i suggest you dont play tank
youll hate it here too
cause that's kind of the thing here
Classic aggro was a nightmare, fuck that shit
yeah for real
its not nearly as bad as classic
this feels like a troll
yeah bit of a bait
but its annoying on big pulls
what?
guy is in the balance so
so at least the xiv thing pans out
now thats bait
lmao
lol
alright time for my teams meetings
ignore nim

hes just trying to fight

he does that with everyone
anyway tanking in retail isn't much different to ffxiv
other than you don't pull the entire instance in retail
i only fight with trolls
not true, you fought with me
no you fight with everyone
im doing skyhold a service
shutup
he hit me with a newspaper
He did!
yeah nimchip the abuser
I saw!
@dense mango If you press thunder clap and your dps don't pump early you'll have no issues maintaining threat as long as you press your damage buttons in general
Guys were gonna get peepee slapped if we gif too much
writing the google dock on nimchip rn

???
the biggest threat issues I have is our guilds fury warr and ele shaman fuckin running ahead of me, blasting packs, and then getting confused when they get aggro
google docs are for every drama nowadays
well i guess youre right
Anyone else have questions or can we dive in to xiv drama lore
milk is gross
Milk with cereal?
you raw dog it?
i raw dog everything brother
Orange drink, obviously.
What about farts ?
Bombsuit hero track or mud mythic?
when i was a wee lad my go-to was dumping Honey Combs cereal into my coffee
Mud really good in priory and floodgate, not sure where else
typically bombsuit
if you killy gally h regularly
id vote mud anyway
prettty easy to get a bombsuit
i dont raid
:3
oh then bomb
