It worth haveing 1 of each diff gem with a algari Dimond?
not really
for damage prolly not but for fast you gain a bit of fast so that's cool
kk ty
the effect is super minimal
i'm missing 1, the kill all enemies you literally killed everything ?
yeah the part i didnt know about that one is
if the toymaker, bike, guys guarding the other mask counted, rat, etc counted so i just killed everything
even the ground tumors
i did it with the bolstering mask
thank god this shit is warbound holy shit
I dont care what anyone says, the yellow undermine plate mog goes so fucking hard
oh i can buy your favorite item, happy
loollll
what a piece of shit
kinda sad its only weapons for these vendors
im pretty sure we can do 5 masks this week easily
well not easily, but with the elite extermination tribute
getting it maxed is still a grindfest
i have level 2
so i guess not a grind fest after all
any twilight dev enjoyers in chat
i really want the champion one, time to grind my lvl 1 elite kill thingy
i found the mask of kill everything
i'll try a 4 mask now, to see if it makes the grind shorter
did you have to kill everything or just the enemies inside the areas?
thats the part im not sure about
idk i literally killed EVERY SINGLE MOB just to not fail
i don't remember what was the crystals for
i member collecting all them i don't remember why
it's random each run the good potion
yep i member this trick
Hey folks, would you skip getting a myth upgrade for your gloves from heroic and replace your already myth wep with a leech wep? (In the hopes that I'll get the gloves from second boss sometime soon)
Basically this:
I'll take ilvl upgrade
ilvl > all
479 leech is less than 1% if I remembered the ratio, so not really worth than more armor, stamina, stats etc
Fair enough, I was thinking myth 2nd boss is ez puggable and I won't see a leech wep again
But I think you're right
Cheers mate
Do the raid and then pick ☺️
Yeah that's the reasonable thing to do I guess 😄
just do it without picking up potions

i guess if u going for a 5 mask run if u want hero weps

shame really hoped they would be a little more challenging

You can clean the raid then pick 😉
good morning, what is the head enchant taht we are choosing??
Yeah im curious what enchant to purchse for m+ twighlight devastation big Beams?
nope still ritual
can i do all 12s at 650 ilvl prot? 😛
sure if your comfortable doing the content at that ilvl
It’s not based on the week
It’s based on each run
Whatever color is next to the dead alchemist is the bad color, and it’s randomized
Just pick up the WA and type in the color of the potion and it tells you which is which based off of the bad one
Well they can’t be making player power difficult for the no thumb Andy’s
You guys did 5 masks already ?
no cause its pointless but u could
Oh
Would I be better off upgrading the shield to G0-4W4Y Crowd Repeller? Or upgrading Heroic to Mythic track Wick's Golden Loop?
DPS sim goes for the ring but not sure if shield iLvl is that big of a difference
Shield Ilvl > all
Expected as much, I'll go against the sim today then and put that vers on another crafted item! Thanks!
If you sim something replacing an embellish don’t forget to add another one on another slot
Yep, came out with the ring in DPS, but I've opted for the shield :)
Thanks for the heads up ^^
Okok it was to be sure 
It's appreciated :D
ill assume nothing changed from yday to today and we go void ritual still?
okay ass beams do sound better than stats
which one would i have to pick for ass beams
twilight dev?
yes
Aight ass beam it is, ass beam convined me im an ass beam believer
unfathomably based
it's time
What is the difference in performance for void ritual and twilight dev? Cus void ritual is literally the most boring corruption
Mainly m+ wise

At work, just curious and looking forward to come home lol
Okay thats pretty balanced for a change
So basically do what u want unless u wanna minmax and push 20s
House of Cards vs Pacemaker for keys if my second trinket is Tome? All Myth track
i had 2 mythic kills but my vault was hc ? how can that happen o.O
did you actually kill both or just enter on cauldron and get id for first one?
killed both
then you shouldve gotten a myth vault
It spelled demolish, revenge and shield slam weirdly your details
its not listed on io and no one logged, called a mate if i dreamed that we killed them, but no we did
i did try and warn u
atleast tdev looks cool
it does
it's time
Hey its said that echoing Is better than ritual only on Pure st But it sims more on aoe as well for me bait or real?
Is there any reason why people ask to pull the 3 packs to outside the church AFTER first boss in PSF?
The Paladins start casting consecration and you need to kite around. One way or the other you will pull the inside paladin packs in a non controlled manner. So easier to pull outside until the acolytes die
Then you can chain into one of the packs or even both with BL if DPS had CDs rdy
You can also Los smites and fireballs
Which is high value considering the effort to pull them outside is zero
So Visions is literally BFA with timegate inside timegate
Prob all Devs moved to next expac
And interns working on Shrine of the Storm for S3
Shrine of the storm, Tol dagor, spires of ascension, and seat of the triumvirate
S3 gonna be a banger
Iron docks with some giga pulls would be nice
Just run ritual it’s more consistent overall
If I photoshopped a wowhead article saying those were the dungeons do you think I’d create mass panic
Well, I said it earlier this season that it's a void theme season, so lots of void & bandage guys
HAHAHHAHAHAA I LOLed
ALl i know is i got the enchant and stopped doing. No reason to do anymore this week. But i can see another kind of player enjoying it.
thers mounts
I got the first mask but I didn’t do anything after that
I’ll probably hop back in tonight
not bait, ritual is the pick
echoing better in pure st but theres barely any fights or enocounters that are pure st
see my handy nickname 

Do we get the greater enchant next week or at the end of the tech tree thing
Oooo how mysterious
i think everyone, myself included, is hoping that it will just be available next week
it's time to try
ye im trying soon too
When you got your first mask, which was doing the full run in one go
How many orbs did you have to use
i took any one other than 50% sanity
thank god it max stack at 10
i died once because of bolster mask
yeah its just damage not HP like the not-missed affix
Yall must be zooming
When I did the full run with no masks I think I ended up using all my orbs
yeah 50% sanity is kinda aids this week
i zoom
tbf no, i just did 3 or 4, 4 masks full clear
Have you been doing them as tank or dps
tank
How do high level healers even do these? The NPC helper is a trap
i do them as tank like in bfa
pretty easily
i did them as hpal in bfa
as in my paladin was hpal
obv wasnt my main
Yeah, it's just slower because you usually don't have access to AoE tools, but you just play the game
you didnt have an npc helper in bfa anyway
Also wanted to dodge as many mass caster pulls as possible because those chunked your sanity so fast
theres an npc helper?
Yeah in the usual blizzard fashion
It's some shit that works basically as another player as far as scaling goes, but it's like a worse brann for damage/contribution to the run
well no, it didnt work, it just got updated yesterday to support them
different zone id after all
Yes but you shouldn’t use it as a tank or dps. Can’t speak on healers
i failed

/mdt
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/stormrage/Garshmog So I had a crafted shield with embellishment but pulled a Myth track shield from the vault yesterday. Would you guys recommend crafting a 681 neck? I know it can't have duskthread lining but it's definitely my weakest slot. If so, what embellishment should I use?
the helper just give free double hp on enemies, don't take him
craft neck, embelishments are super minimal, you dont have to have them
fucking mage quarter bugging still
this happened in BFA too
you kill portals too fast, cant go into boss
you go there first ? i go dwarf first
okok i planned in my head what i'm gonna do, but each time i get hit by 1 thing and insta die
mage last for sure
(from sanity)
just go dwarf and round
but its aids if it bugs
hogger counts as an elite btw
so you can make him pop to get sanity back
and i checked what you need to do for the bots, you need the train toy
yeah just like bfa
i didn't remember the bots
thats cause most classes had a cc
and could split them
but we cant as warriors
best you can do is fear
and get a few hits in while shield bot gets back
i was brew so maybe i used to just rop them
and para probs
What does the train toy do
they give 100 sanity
does it increase enemy hp/dmg if we take a helper?
go faster 
ok how the speed pot is called this expac
Mount up
cheetah something
I don't think it affects enemy damage, but it does increase their health massively
And what you gain is a badly coded 200k DPS
reborn cheetah
I know they're super duper minimal, but I can have one more. Any idea what is the best?
ah, didnt know that, thanks 😄
actual joke that ritual is twice as much dps increase than Tdev in aoe
cloak, bracer are usually the best slots since they have the lowest stat pool, then belt and boots
thx i hope "dazed" is like 1 sec
Folks we go With Twilight enchant right ?
Twilight dev or bust!
mug ?
soon brew soon
read nickname
lmao jakey
we survive those crawlers mine but so many deaths on his charges but the 4 gaol jails with 13 ppl are cringe
yes just have to be enoughj ppl alive
I’m going to “forget” and kill the boss with my 15 jug stacks
and 5 can die on the soak
... Mug intermission does something if people don't literally stand in the clear blue circles and die to stun?
With the 3% buff and 1% from helm enchant
I bet boss dies about the same time as 4 jail set
We might 3 heal now also
Skip the 3 set in p1
We skip that with 4 healing 
what was your dps near the end ?
TRUE
Yeah but do you lust pull?
Have to actually stop DPS for a while because if we don't actually get the gaol debuffs the WA breaks and cba
Yeah, because it doesn't matter at this point. Last week otherwise we were 1-2% off and it wasn't worth minmaxing
We were stopping dps for the finger gun and pushing during the finger gun cast once the adds were hit
And that’s not lusting pull
that's what we do
Yeah that's what we thought we were going to do, then we pushed the boss before finger gun accidentally
684 ilvl back with CRIT/MAST or 681 crafted with CRIT/HASTE?
Then we just kinda said to send, skipped gaols no lust
But when we tried again it wasn't consistent
So lust it is
with everyone alive
I mean we Zug pretty well and there’s no way we skip 3 jail set without lust last week 680avg ilvl
This week going down to 3 heal and the buffs I bet we skip easily
Hold lust for p2 still
Maybe even skip last jail set or the 4 people who get it commit*
Don't know what to say, people procced for a pull
But as I said, it wasn't consistent enough
this happened to me 5 times already today

@lusty grotto what do I need to make sure I do in the stormwind version this week?
Isn’t there a mask that requires something from both?
get masks
sw specific masks
use a single mask, clear old town
use a single mask, clear mage quarter
use a single mask, kill hogger and LOOT THE SHARD
use a single mask, grab mask the cultists are worshipping
i think the others are not stormwind specific
That seems rather simple
it is
Cool beans thanks
there's 2.5 ones that are org specific so next week
so you can only get 5.5 masks this week
edited cause i forgot the cultist one
you want the bike mount ?
If it’s not annoying to get I’ll do it ye
Like I’m not wasting my time doing 40 hours of trash piles in undermine for example
Lmao
how the fuck does he have that u need org to do that
you buy things from AH, you have to do 1 engineer command
i just am an engineer
(it is way faster than what it looks)
so you will have to grind out the mask for it first right?
i mean its not a grind at all
Damn, almost had the 5 mask run
Is there a mechanic I'm not aware of that heals the guy in mage quarter ?
not the wing boss but one of the elites
He was low then got back to full so had to use my last sanity regen ball
Fellow Warriors,
What should i take?
I have Tome & Pacemaker on 684
Not doing any Mythic-Raiding
Low key i always loved Tol Dagor
wowhead or icyveins both work
ALMOST
mage quarter bug?
portal doesnt work
anyone have links to mdt routes that are good for each dungeon
are you talking about the soridormi construct?
the npc / like bran that can "help" you in visions
Trying to find a decent guild that's willing to teach me tanking and the dungeons. Nervous as hell lol
Though the only thing I'm really nervous about is not knowing the dungeons
You’ll struggle to find a guild to do this, I suggest just hopping in and asking questions here as you go
my 5 mask runs are ruined
The wow made easy discord will be a good source of stress free runs as you continue to learn
That's true
I just miss how things use to be in the game. I Officially quit like 10 years ago. Have just come back here and there.
Trying to get the feeling back
Just be prepared that as you learn and you’re doing like 5s-7s you’ll have a lot of bricks and a lot of toxic people and that’s a reflection on them not you, they’re gonna survive their incomplete 7, promise. Just don’t engage with them
That's why I definitely need a solid group of people lol
yes don't interact / answer ppl talking shit
Ohhh. Question. Should I focus on delves??
Focus on your mechanical play first, shield block uptime, blocked hits - you can just walk through dungeons with no real route in mind up to like 15/16. Raider.io and wowhead offer basic routes for all dungeons.
Then focus on the meta of the dungeons. What can you kick, what can you stop, where can you Los. What’s important to kick vs what’s ok to let go.
They seem pretty cool
if you have fun why not
sure delves are fine for starting out
Delves and visions will both help you gear up quickly
BFA content
I didn't see this. Tyvm
that got put back in just this week
Sooo many changes in this game
The most important thing to know about pwar is you must spec fueled by violence over brutal vitality always. Not doing so could spark another debate that might collapse the game and the fabric of the universe itself
(This part is sarcasm - use the wowhead recommended spec)
Mud is giga in floodgate and priory afaik
do not pay attention to this
Makes me wish I never quiet the game. Then id have a clue what's going on in it lol
I said it was sarcasm!
Like the mess that has become professiona
You'd be down $1.5k tho
New professions are a big improvement over old ones
They are not as complicated as they seem
The crafting system stinks tho imo
They were so straight forward back in the day
miles ahead of that outdated garbage
They still are
They don't seem it lol
maybe cause its a lot for you to take in
but they are
both straightforward and better
True. It's overwhelming
The only difference between this system and the old system is this system enables everyone to craft their own gear, if they wanna. It seems complex but it isn’t
i would suggest what roid mentioned aka the WoW made easy discord for non prot questions btw
as in general game advice
they are probably more prepared to answer it
The discord is pretty non-toxic and you’ll get a lot of good help
It’s like the FFXIV of wow
lmao
the good side of xiv you mean
Ya, I'm too old for toxicity. Though I was a huge part of old barrens chat
Ffxiv has really chilled on their toxicity crackdown
Full of people engaging in toxic positivity?
not really Roid
Actually wme is pretty solid
its still hardcore in savage/ult PF
Toxicity or their crackdown on it?
yam got it correctly
"toxic positivity"
but its more like its just 2nd hand comments and garbage
I meant the Gms banning/suspending you
oh i mean, sure
I got a 3 day ban in arr for asking someone if they were having a stroke because they started like spinning uncontrollably all bugged out
lmao
The context of the chat showed it wasn’t toxic but I got the ol boot anyway lol
those are some angry reports then
FFXIV community is way worse than anything I've experienced on wow, ffxiv community just feels very disingenuous
maybe it's better nowadays but jesus
The raiding community is, and the balance discord especially is
its not
But the game itself just general play I find people are far less toxic than wow
Tbf tho I think wow gets a bad rap
roid is correct in that generally you dont see these people if you dont engage on this content
i think so as well
its all overblown
for both games
There are far more people who aren’t toxic in wow than those that are
Haha some of these world quests are fun
yeah reddit hypes up wow toxicity
every day there's another karma farming post about how op always gets flamed and kick from heroic dungeons
Also the wow class “community” in general is almost fully not toxic
I’ve never been in a wow class discord and seen someone be flamed for asking questions
Go on over to the balance and ask something simple and you’ll catch on fire for how hard you get flamed for not reading pins
it always pulls upvotes so any bots getting prepared to astroturf on other subreddits can easily farm upvotes there
"got kicked on timewalking" copypastes a screenshot
instant karma
I feel like the hyper moderated ffxiv communities are significantly more toxic than the random person on wow calling me a slur
i woudnt say more
Not saying people should be free to insult people on ffxiv
I have multiple (hundreds) of high quality posts on Reddit - both blogs in my professional space and supporting the azure and aws communities with qa. My highest karma item by far is a comment on the wow subreddit on someone’s mog that said “blursed hulk hogan vibes”
just different
but it just feels so fuckin odd how everyone's so happy and cheerful on ffxiv but the moment you slip up you get jumped instantly
lmao
I have yet to play that
yeah thats just how it is, and its fine, just dont say anything

trust me ive gotten in trouble often since 2.0
yall know i dont beat around the bush in here
0 sugarcoating
i just dont type shit in xiv
speaking of bans
How does one get chat banned in wow
I didn’t even know that was a thing
It's hard
racial slurs will do it
but
now people just mass report
especially the trade mafia
and/or bots in a zone
We invited a guildie to alt raid and then couldn’t post the group because he was chat banned and I’ve never come across that
or yeah, just offer free crafts on a popular realm
Uh I don’t think this dude is doing much crafting lol
last game I ever got banned from was runescape back in 2005
How did you manage that? Lol
I got scammed and in my saltiness I stole someone else's item after asking to borrow it
I got banned from wow a few months ago for three weeks for “rmt” - my account has never had more than like 100k gold. Took me like a week to get it overturned
Lol
9 year old me was dumb and deserved it though
I've been banned a few times lol. Even lost my account with my Warlord title. Was going to sell the account for big money too
😔
I found some bots in DF farming elementals and I joined in and I was just looting while his bots were killing. The bot guy saw me and mass reported me. Got muted for 1 week
I was in need for gold for M+ repairs 
No, the one with storm/water elementals for them regeants close to the city
oh nvm you said elementals
yeah i know what youre talking about
same thing with the skinning bros
its a lot less apparent in this expansion for some reaosn
Yeah insane
there's certainly a whole lotta druids going around gathering but less mega spawn groups farming
Delves are a big source of mats
probably cause there's no elemental drops for crafting etc
This expac I killed a bot mining in war mode with me in hallowfall. He then went "enjoy your ban". But never happened
i do my profession knowledge weekly, since DF
and some of those are drops and/or straight up RNG from gathering
so i see a lot of them
Wow. Underkeep.is a looooong delve huh
youre gathering a mob and suddenly a druid bot dives down, gathers with gathering speed gear and follows his path
it was ridiculous in zaralek caverns with the spores too lmao
😆
Ohh joy.. just did a bountiful delve but dint have a coffer key fit the chest
Yay typos
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i am 100% bugged
I can fix him...
You broke the game
and obviously if you kill portals, the umbric one doesnt work
cause they are 5/5 for whatever reason
I'm just gearing up my warrior for the first time as protection I'm a bear tank with timed 12s which cyrcles cyrclet gems provide the most damage?
wowhead.com has a list
in the protection guide
but its basically the same ones as everyone else
wasn't sure if the discord believes differently
well Nome writes the guide
and Mwahi writes the icy veins one
they are our mods
we're not like dreamgrove which has different wowhead writers
that would be if dreamgrove for bears was run by squishvegan and pumps that's great thanks!
Can anyone give me ale advice on starting Mt delves grind?
and dreamgrove.gg etc
I have full tier one I got from catalysing sirens isle gear which hero talent will be the best for be to get into mythic zeroes with?
mountain thane has a lot more room for error so its good to start with
okay thanks :D!
colossus is our best, but requires knowing rage management (which you should know if you play bear and do not macro IF to everything)
squishvegan macros ironfur lol
can I build full rage gen and just macro shield block >revenge > ignore pain ?
would shield block >ignore pain be a safe way to play baby warrior at first before i get more comfortable?
Not really
Builds bad habits
You will just rage starve yourself constantly
rage starving is a NONO
I'm having a hard time finding the delves
If you macro sb or ip (especially ip) you will run out of rage
Quickly
IP is really simple
Just press it when at or above 70 rage
Instructions unclear, too busy revenging to ever go above 70 rage
Thane is super easy mode anyways, press shield slam on CD>thunderclap>then maybe revenge. Other than that press your other buttons on CD like avatar/demoralizing shout/roar/spear.
Press shield block against anything that swings a weapon or shoots at you. Press IP when at or above 70 rage to prevent rage capping. Gg
are visions easier as tank?
compared to what
How does everyone handle the first pull in Cinderbrew on Fortified?
god i love watching yoda play warrior
and shockwave -> back off if you need to reset bleed stacks
so the mean mug bleed seems to last really long. how/where do you kite to reset the stacks
okay. at what stack count do you usually back off
Idk like 4 stacks
yeah
Sometimes more sometimes less
I see. sorry if this was a bad question I am new to tanking/tww
not a bad question at all
sure it will get better when it will be a greater enchant
Last night on the mini boss in a 17 ML I went up to 9 stacks of the bleed without realizing it

you'll only have to kite to drop stacks if your group is low dam
Pretty much
do you play thane or col?
col
Col
every regular here pretty much plays colossus
Is there any reason to push past the quest that gives you head enchant?
Cosmetics, a challenge and, if you find it fun
What does "doing a mask" mean?
anyone knows how to actually not bug the mage quarteer portal=?
i have now had buggy portal for the 9th time in a row
yeah we're perma bugged now
apparently you can unfuck it
found a temp fix: 2man someone else be leader>go to mage area do that area> kill boss> kill sylv> fixed. it worked for me as long i wasnt the leader
thats how
is bloodmallet accurate for protection dps?
no (but only because it isnt simming Tome correctly as per the pins)
There are 8 masks you unlock in various ways. Each mask adds some sort of difficulty to the run. Stuff like adding mobs, giving mobs bolstering, reduced max sanity, etc.
Each one adds a stacking mob hp/damage buff as well, but also increases the number of mementos you receive
What is needed to get the good enchant next week? Thinking of just doing the minimum to get that
Hi! Ist there a certain target count for when I can execute a low-hp-target instead of spending that rage for revenge? Or do we only use execute in single target?
Perfect! Thank you
anyone do a 5 mask run yet? With the ones limited to us, I think its a bit hard with long night mask
Afternoon Gents, If we're not inside a damage amp window or a boss weakness window, Do we send all CD's on Cooldown? Should I wait for Avatar before using DS and Demolish? Is there a rule for the wait (say 10s or less)
entirely possible, we're working on it
For my defense, I spend the whole S1 not looting trinket bis on my lock and enh x)
I mean
I haven't been spooned anything good since like DF s1
actually I got bis shield from vault a few weeks back nvm
its dwilight dev we go for?
sigh
send everything on cooldown most of the time, I'll wait a few secs on Demolish if Avatar is almost back but that's about it. remember you can also get a cheeky free avatar by pressing Shield Wall if you've got a free charge and nothing dangerous is coming up
ok hopefully this is more visible
ok but is thane the play after the i am shot in the head by special forces snipers
that one say as alternative on wowhead not BIS tho? 😮
you sure about that
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/bis-gear#corruptions i wonder what this means
if youre undergeared, echoing void is better
nah Nome put it up on the cheat sheet is the problem
im pretty sure its cause of undergeared people
in the cheat sheet
just lost a 5 mask run because i didnt look at my sanity bar i had 2 orbs left in the mage area

you have the ST loadout selected
Running mask of no eye holes because this man is blind
meanwhile me:
meh im just having fun pulling the entire dwarf area in 1 pull
and pressing demolish and watching everything die
fix my bug jakey

i want to do this
should still be able to complete
Every run I've just closed them all
youre not understanding
you HAVE to close them
or else the umbric port doesnt work
but if youre bugged, like me
they are closed before touching the packs
Right but it shows a portal still open
It was doing that to me where it was 5/5 closed but there were still objectives
correct me if im wrong but I believe there is more than 5 portals
ive tried 6 times now
no
theres just 5
2 alongside tower, mini boss in screenshot, room beside him and through a shop
always been 5 total, since bfa
At least your character isn’t stuck perma rolling
Is there something like breakpoints for attack speed with haste and stuff? Does it stop increasing my attack point at some point?
why are you asking
any specific reason?
the cap should be the gcd cap
but we cant get there
If more haste doesn't do anything for my aps or my gcd, then the stat doesn't matter and i'd rather gem socket crit/vers
its not a dps thing
its an SB uptime thing
you can use other stats after around 20k rating
with 4pc
Yeah, more haste, more rage, more procs, more uptime on SB
Okay, so is there a spreadsheet that has that information
thats a gameplay issue not a stat issue
is earthen a good defensive/offensive race for protection or should I race change soon
its whatever
I literally just spotted this, but almost 95% or so of your rage gen comes from the kit alone, not secondaries, for Prot at least
I have zero idea the context
yeah thats what i meant
If you're feeling pressed for rage, the two most common are not actually sending SS on reset and oversending on IP
A third factor is not sending outbursts on SS, which is something neglected when trying to push even further with the spec
a faster swing timer will give you more devastate ss resets, that's a lil something
wouldnt make a difference if they arent managing rage correctly
sure, just saying "more haste = better rage gen" isn't a totally harebrained idea
are hares particularly dumb
why is that the word
well i didnt say it wasnt
Yeah, hence why I didn't say all; haste has the most affect on our rage gen as a whole as Prot War iirc
how much wasted rage is too much wasted rage
i'm taking luerce to court over that number
what if it's 93% and you're spreading DISINFORMATION
fuck i didn't think about lawyers
embarrassing. don't ever show your face round here again
:(
smh
dang
lmao obv this is fine. the main thing i'd look at is the ones that are more easily avoidable
(It's technically possible to reach zero rage waste, but it's not the easiest thing to do while also playing well and doing content reqs)
like you charged at max rage at some point
you lost 3 revenges, but thats pretty decent management
if not what people should be at more or less
this is on rik
i be charging to barrels
sometimes my shield slam is what kills a barrel then i charge at max rage
happens
yeah it's not the end of the world
just when you're LOCKED IN you can kinda see that coming and smack IP
Honestly, with rage waste that low, all you do is say "smh" and move on
its good rage management
but i wasted 6 rage on shield slam. im a failure
SIR
THAT'S THE SPIRIT
you. are. not. a. failure 👏
you shoulda had 63 rage from rage but you only got 60 rage from rage. take a look at your LIFE
Time to retire because you're as washed as the old rag your dad used to use

Rage you gain as part of base mechanics
like, being hit
You get rage for being hit still iirc
thats exactly right
damn i thought that shit was gone
I believe it is also auto attacks if arms
it's extremely minimal and normalized
Hence why crit gives arms more rage

back in my day, you just stayed at max rage from damage taken (until your gear got too good)
lmao
season 1 i sometimes wished i could spare the points for it
but on colossus now? nah
now im dissappointed fruiter, how dare you talent that
i had it talented this entire time until yesterday
🗞️
it was comfy! i like being able to accidentally grossly overcap rage and it's fine actually
i'm in favor of being able to take Laziness Talents but our tree is just so tight on points
i lived without big clap all this time
but i traded rage for big clap ystdr

yeah even big clap is kind of a comfort talent
but it actually affects gameplay
it's not just "lets you be slack"
IM FIXED
how you fixed it ?
it could have been blizzard
but
i invited a friend, he took lead, started vision, rushed mage quarter, forgot he had to solo it so it looked bugged, tried portal no go, so we just killed alleria to end it
i zoned in to try to get some mounts while he came back from afk, checked mage quarter and the bonus objectives looked like that
nvm
it was blizzard like i said
What r u guys doing
you can unlock 5 this week
well, 5.5
Are people doing 5 masks full runs is it possible
yeah
there is one you need to kill every mob of the vision
Interesting I don’t remember seeing that I must of missed it
multitudes
Yeah damn I guess I didn’t read the part to kill every enemy lol. Oof
Must of skipped over that part for some reason
Is Ogrimmar scenario next week?
wt corruption thing should i use?
should be, they alternated week by week
back in BFA, i mean
so we're assuming it'll be the same way here, no reason why it shouldn't be
corruption wt i pick?
Stats.
Corruption win trading?
Read my name
ok
hi, quick question, should i prioritize the craft of a 681 weapon or a shield ? (both are currently 658 ; sorry if the question is stupid i'm new as warprot)
Shield first
ty mate
Np goodluck!
Weapon right after shield though
ofc, i should be able to do weapon tonight
Not a stupid question BTW, no need to apologize hehe
i just feel so lost discovering prot, didn't tanked since bfa bahaha
Hello Gamers, new to gearing my prot, mainly playing m+. Is still as listed Jastor Diamond the best option for dinar or is pacemaker mythic better? Seen a lot of prots using it
(Since simming damage isn't the best option here imo) 😄
only if myth track
as mentioned in the list
and that last part is incorrect
because it is 100% the best option
Ah thanks, i was just looking at this discord here
simming is only NOT the best option when it comes to shields (which should be ilvl > all) and purely defensive trinkets (like bomb suit)
thats about it
we're always simming otherwise
But isn't it that if i prioritize different secondaries (exclude def trinkets like bomb suit etc.) that it has more impact on damage or defense?
it has impact on both at the same time
thats why simming is essential
a stat shift that sims higher for damage results in being better for defense
its not "or"
its an "and"
So higher Damage usually = Higher defensive?
usually, except for the cases i mentioned
Doesn't make that much sense to me at first but i believe you that you know more about it than i do 😄
just hover over every secondary
it has both an offensive and defensive counterpart
crit provides, well, crit, but also parry
versa provides, damage increase and damage reduction
mastery provides attack power and crit block chance
haste provides lower SB cooldowns, and hastened hits and GCD
the latter being the most important secondary, mainly for the SB cd being hastened, but obviously for the offensive reason as well
Also rage
More haste makes you more angry which gets you more rage (more autos/devaststors)
I really never thought of it that way but makes perfectly sense
appreciate the answer!
sure thing
Basically, all secondaries are close enough defensively that differences are negligible. In addition, defensive strength is dictated almost entirely by damage profiles, as well. Things like parry become useless if literally 100% of incoming damage can't be parried, for example. As such, you can't really super optimize for tankiness too generally, since it heavily depends on how and when damage is coming in, which is determined not only by the encounter/dungeon, but by your comp, play, etc
They all have good defensive effects for us, so you might as well sim for any non-unique gear slots (Mostly trinkets in the defensive end, like Nim mentioned). You can't even really go wrong by just throwing in highest ilvl
also, simming for survival is basically impossible due to the infinite contexts, so like
gotta make a decision somehow
Alright, i see
Gives me a bit of a different perspective
Maybe i am just damaged because i played prot pala before (What are defensives?) and now going to a fairly tanky spec
does arterial bleed basically do nothing if you always demolish on cd?
arterial bleed does nothing cause bleeds were heavily nerfed at the start of s2
Wtf is a horrible vision tribute
thats it
I spent so much time out in the sun going over measurements on this new build
I thought I was gonna go home and crank out some more visions but I’m legit gonna pass out and sleep for twelve hours
sounds like a good plan
i saw someone, i think yoda, running FBV in an 18, but didn't note if he took arterial bleed or not. i would've figured the two would need to be taken together to get the most out of it
Yoda plays vdh now
is ther any pro warrior on i can talk to
yeah idk, i was considering it for more snap threat (lel) but idk how useful it would be in practice
congrats
Had a freeze on Alleria
ill be getting it soon
Could have went wrong a second later 😄
its 5 masks
5
"The most horrific" is the 5 mask achieve
new to pro tank feels like i am always ready to die in myithic plues
are you keeping SB up?
shield block
are you facing your targets
you cant block from behind
other than that we would need logs
and/or for you to be more specific
Are we equipping three twilight devastation or is that too much corruption?
you mean 5x versatile right?
scratch that, it was 7
7x versatile
12% each baby
the only season where versatility was good 🙂
dont @ me
I played BM Hunter back then and juiced crit and I think vers or haste or smth
Was crazy how much damage such an ez pz spec did
Had a tank alt with t dev which was pretty fun
TD was actually toxic because the other tank could just rip threat out of nowhere and eat a mechanic
And wipe the raid
I feel like
I might have not been in the casual bracket in BFA
99% of you guys mention TD
But not 7x versatile
You didn't run TD on high keys
I suppose it was way common in chest keys
Dont lie u had to run full vers or u werent getting into any key

40% minimum
tbf i didnt major CnS
15s were hard for me in bfa
so i didnt cookie cutter shit
Was more noober back then
in sense liked that bfa didnt change keystones and ksm was the entire expansion long
those are rookie numbers
there was just some dungeons i really hated in all of that, tol dagor was one, underrot is another
im with you yogi i fucking hated TD
not only because of the reasons ive mentioned before, wall pulling, sanguine....
its a good dungeon for noobs
but because WoW cant handle narrow dungeons, fucking hate the camera in them
Got news for you, that part hasn’t changed lol
sanguine is, oh god i hated that
if i didnt have friends, i would have quit for sure with that
or you guys to help
i would have been another guy only runs +5's
nothin else,
wtf man
this pug dps I got in my group was using that potion that aoe's mobs
and it griefed so bad
just pulling random-unaggressive mobs
must have saw it in mdi
i have been against the MDI since the dawn of time i have always hated timers in vidieo games
timers are the lamest cop out, unless its professional trolling of making it take too long
i cannot stand game gives you limited time to make a move
my doom dark ages save game is corrupted right as i go to fight the devil as well sadly, so i would have to restart all over
Why is archon recommending punish/HR for Mythic Mug'Zee
when WCL has literally no one playing that
oh, interesting
I always though archon was top 100
it's top 1000
carry on I am dumb
The parsing build is nasty, drop all sb, SW and spell block talents
Do big deeps and ask for externals pretty much constantly
tbh with full execute build and with the ilvl we’re at right now you take pretty much 0 dmg still
I did them in heroic in the execute build, I assume youre talking about mythic right
You guys blow up the mines on mugzee?
depends on who we have
I always let other people do them because I’m staying on the boss
But you are the good dps
cope
fair
I pugged heroic yesterday and I was top 3 dps before I left, its a scary world out there
well duh
heroic does 250k dmg
mythic theres like 6 bombs
which do 2.5mil each
or some shit
we've already established im a smooth brain im just clarifying for the rest of my brethren
for future reference, the difficulty being referred to is almost exclusively mythic if no particular difficulty is aforementioned

But that’s the smallest subsection of raiders and also not what I raid
I need you to correct this
orange name = mythic, got it
Can we discuss how awful it is doing rik pillars as a warrior (on mythic)
time
