delete one or the other

#

the fuck do you have a talent slot in there for something nobody picks anyway

frosty mango
#

I’m fine with either just make it so the other is gone and balance the class and talents around it properly

chilly brook
#

I agree

#

and make 1h transmog available

#

for the people who care

frosty mango
#

Smf has been meme tier for EXPANSIONS

#

It’s honestly egregious it’s still in the game

chilly brook
#

wtb glad spec

frosty mango
#

I mean I would love it

#

Give me hoplite lol

chilly brook
#

I wonder, if they end up doing a WoD classic, if they'll actually bother trying to balance Glad Stance

frosty mango
#

I doubt it

mighty valley
#

delete titan's grip and let us transmog 1h to 2h just so we don't need to deal with the 2x2her headaches lol

#

not gonna happen but i can dream

frosty mango
#

Because if they did it properly then everyone would want it in retail

#

Imo just make it a spec

#

Let it use war glaives

chilly brook
#

I mean I agree

#

just give warrior a 4th spec

frosty mango
#

1h shield inc glaives balance around damage spec and make it highly mobile with some ranged skills

#

Like spear throw and shit

#

I dunno I’m not a class designer but they got billions of dollars, make it work

chilly brook
#

I'd really like to see a spear added that isn't just a 2h polearm

#

like a legit spear weapon class

I'd like warrior to have cool dps options

Maybe a boxer

gonna go one handed fury

just to tmog thunderfurys

no one's gonna notice anyways

#

Best time to meme around as fury, no one expects you to dps in the first place

nocturne spindle
#

too bad i have negative mastery and only heroic 2 handers

solid sun
#

It's probably time for another tank spec

#

I wonder how many of our shield brethren we'd lose to a new tank spec

jagged gust
#

its time for the blue warriors to rise up

limpid tide
#

just make baseline like TG is wth FingerGuns

round cliff
#

i miss bfa leech stat

round pendant
#

just make warrior 1 shot every mob in the game

#

that's my suggestion to blizz

narrow jay
#

I got mythic sprocket prog and I'm taking every bomb should I swap all my enchants from leech to speed? And run the movement speed gem as well?

mighty valley
#

the difference is going to be extremely small either way

solid sun
#

In heroic we just took turns taking a party pack

coarse latch
#

Heroic Throw but it throws a weapon at every mob in a group - and it's damage is increased 1000%

solid sun
#

Why in mythic do some groups decide one tank should take every one?

dusk ice
#

It lines up well debuff wise, consistency, tank comp def easier to get out and back quickly on some classes. Probably not one overall reason.

Do you guys hold demolish for a bit later into pull? I find if I rip it too early I lose aggro until my final demolish swing

polar cloak
#

whats gonna do more dmg for Mountain thane overall spear or dragon roar

#

M+

frosty mango
#

depends on the key and how you pull

polar cloak
#

cinderbrew and aggressive

frosty mango
#

for thane typically spear would probably do more but in a cinderbrew roar may edge it out

#

it would be close

#

its close anyway in general

mighty valley
#

At this point i feel like they’ve just decided difficulty gathering should be a unique weakness of prot warrior

hey guys

#

do u think i should craft myself a 681 ring or keep the hero jastor

Cinderbrew Stein or Bomb suit

#

So do we pop Tome of Lights Devotion on pull since it takes as long as the CD to build up anyway?

#

Nub prot warrior, apologies.

frosty mango

But generally yes if it’s in shield you’d press it to put it in sword with the bonus on the start of a pack

#

Is gearing for more damage optimal for survivability as well? Or is haste/crit usually the way to go defensively?

delicate sparrow

haste for rage and crit for aprry

#

Anyone else having problems with adding the 2 box mobs in floodgate to Momma? I tried making them go left and right, but the other groups aggro when they pass. This used to work, but now it seems to be a 50/50 gamble. Am certain that i‘m not bodypulling the others.

patent scroll
#

Eventually if you run into survivability issues in the 17-18s your doing, then look at it again

#

Upto at least that point it's just ilvl and gameplay

fallen lichen
# patent scroll Just sim and follow that <:okayge:917646812519739433>

So recrafting my neck from crit/haste to versa/mast is worth it? 0,5% damage gain according to sims. Did 6 out of 8 16s now but have champion weapon and shield. So some packs are kinda hard. Wondering where I can gain a bit of survivability.
Next week should be better with spark, vault and dinars.

patent scroll
#

Yeah I mean the obvious solution there is to use not champion gear

#

But yeah you could do that recraft, why not if it's telling you that the item with vers is better

fallen lichen
#

Yea that was the question. It’s obviously better damage wise, but can’t sim tankiness

patent scroll
#

You're swapping a single item

#

It's +-0 go dig into logs of a few days of your M+ runs and try to calculate the parry difference

fallen lichen

I’ll mess around with topgear, might switch some more around. Thanks.

#

Mekes seems aight aswell

#

Man used outburst on shield slam instead of thunderclap on a big pull cuz there's 1 big prio add that needs to die and the rest was just pad.
That alone tells you he knows what matters

vital pelican
#

is greater rune of the void ritual our go to or should i be looking at something else?

idle copper
#

yep, but the lazer finger one looks cool and is minimal dps loss

strong forum
#

All things considered, you can run whatever you want since they all do kinda the same

#

It's minimal performance difference

#

And if you ain't pulling literal 99-100 parses and 3+mil overalls in keys chances are even higher that it matters even less

patent scroll
#

The damage procs are technically better the less damage you do peepodrive

#

But yeah not sure anyone should care if you gain 2.5 or 2.2% from random effect

ocean smelt
#

I like void ritual because it's also a bit of a defensive bonus to have those stats tho

bronze delta
#

Is 90-95 parse good in keys 12-13? Trying to figure out how i can maximize my dps.

stoic pilot
patent scroll
round pendant
#

Yeah that page is useless unless you click the sword icon at the top right but then it shows you your 99 parses on the +2s you've done instead of the highest keys

#

(but you can just click a dungeon and see all your actual parses for that key)

#

but key parses are more dependent on your group as a whole than actually playing right imo

#

well, after a certain point

patent scroll
#

Yeah, it's routing, team, your gameplay, roughly in that order

round pendant
#

You can't exactly do the giga dam routes with pugs either

patent scroll
#

Well, technically routing is also your gameplay but yep

#

I pull an extra pack in floodgate, the least offensive dungeon to pull big in

#

and get called weird

#

😔

patent scroll
#

I kinda like the place, I can just open MDT and just click on the funny circles and it works out

#

Well, besides pulling bombcrabs

#

Fuck those

round pendant
#

Floodgate is a great dungeon

#

well, until the tunnels

#

the tunnels part sucks

patent scroll
#

Yeah

#

Bubbles ragey

round pendant
#

yeah bubbles existing is such a

#

but why

#

moment

nocturne spindle
#

That's why you skip bubbles 🙂

patent scroll
#

Even then

round pendant
#

cba dunno how

patent scroll
#

Just remove bubbles, let us choose what we don't want to kill

#

And don't make a mob you just kinda have to skip

#

After one of the three hard to heal bosses

cerulean tusk
#

Bubbles is supposed to be there as an "bring ST DPS" option route

#

Sadly noone ever does

#

Why?

#

Cause 90% of the dungs are always mass AoE

round pendant
#

it's still a super inefficient mob that's kinda forced on you without doing weird unintuitive skips

#

bad design imo

cerulean tusk
#

Just inefficent cause ST dps group brings is lower than the AoE option

#

Design is 'good', as it is supposed to give you the option. You can already skip it.

cerulean tusk
#

Bubbles should grant 90% of the dung count gladge make ST comps great again

slender bison
#

Bubbles is about healer CDs management not dps

cerulean tusk
#

If DPS higher, bubbles die faster

#

faster bubbles die

slender bison
#

Healers come dry from Swampface

cerulean tusk
#

less healing is required

slender bison
#

So that's why UDK is king in that dungeon. AMZs everywhere

#

To balance healer off cds

cerulean tusk
#

Or Fury Warrior, just SR, BT and SW dance

slender bison
#

Plus grip inspectors though I am working on a inspector-free route

cerulean tusk
#

Meh, I just hope the devs manage to force ST to be more important in some dungs. Even in ToP you can skip most of it, just AoE instead sadge

slender bison
#

Top is ST heavy dungeon. Only exception is Gorechop wing giga pull, where AoE needs to go big

round pendant
#

ST isn't fun in dungeons

#

top is the worst dungeon by far this season

cerulean tusk
#

AoE isnt fun for ST heavy specs either

#

so meh

slender bison
#

Idk, but WW doing 6M to Xav is fun

#

Funny enough ToP is free dungeon for Prot warrs

#

First dungeon to do when you move M+ bracket up

patent scroll
#

Well yeah

cerulean tusk
#

Just bring a MM to snap things from platforms, and ez pz breezy

patent scroll
#

It's all either physical or almost irrelevant

#

Then you go on there on BDK and parry bad on flagboss or get chopped

#

And it's so over

slender bison
#

Yeah, ToP full Phys is always fun . Melt everything and warr finishes with 50 intereupts

round pendant
#

I don't understand you guys

#

ToP is 😴

slender bison
#

Prot/Rogue/WW/Hunt/Disc or Sham giga blast

slender bison
#

Top has lowest chance of dying randomly, so easy key to get in order to get invites to next brackets

round pendant

S: Floodgate, Priory
A: Motherlode
B: Mechagon, Rookery
C: Brew, DFC

how easy the key is doesn't factor into how much I like it

Rookery bosses are so boring thout

slender bison
#

If you're not doing rookery bosses in Battle Stance you're doing it wrong

nocturne spindle
#

That doesn't make them less boring

round pendant
#

Yeah they're not great

That's why it's in B

because I hate it less than the last 3

slender bison

I know, at least you get some crit s to keep you going

round pendant
#

could prob swap brewery and rookery tbh

#

but they're kinda close

slender bison
#

Dfc is super fun, just for the cart part where you sync with healer and grab everything ahead

#

Healer is dispel bot

nocturne spindle
#

Dfc makes my interrupt count go brrr

So its fun

Giga interrupts from disruption

#

how do you guys handle the miniboss before 2nd boss in motherlode?
i'm starting to get into 17s and that miniboss is quite deadly with his bleed.

sometimes it ramps up so quickly that suddenly i have like 8-9 stacks, which is hard to survive.
Do I need to kite even more? A class with a enrage dispell is must have here?

mighty valley
#

I think high crit helps there? It applies on auto attacks iirc

#

otherwise enrage dispel helps, cauterize helps if anyone has it, racial helps if you’re a stinky dwarf, walking away to drop stacks if you gotta helps

yea my crit is kinda low, can improve that. thanks

I’m guessing you los’d somewhere

I didn't los anywhere because I didn't actually intend to pull it

He yeeted me into something; I didn't know he did that keks

it's bad if people don't kick the casters ig

#

Picturing your reaction is making me laugh

#

“Oh no, I wish I had known that was going to happen”

warm plinth
#

Well, the initial pull was calculated; I was gonna pull the side but around a pillar so everything would come in

#

And then someone pulled a bunch of smallies off me and I panicked and went to pick them up, so the LoS part never really happened

#

and then the big guy knocked me into the top left part, and then somehow the pack across got pulled

#

We didn't technically wipe

mortal cypress
coarse latch
#

when you all do priory do you always do this first pull?
I feel like in pugs when im healing casual 10s its always this - which is fine because i have bl, but seems kinda spooky if you didnt peepo

solid sun
#

Not me

#

I pull that but not the pack directly in front of the water feature

#

So it’s a four pack instead of a five pack and if suleyman is still alive and the knight is dead and other stuff is starting to die I’ll pull one of the three caster packs and use the stairs and ranged interrupts to bring them in

frosty mango
#

I also pull dfc like a madman

#

I pull first pull then entire left side down around the wall to Los

Once all the mobs get to the wall, shockwave and drag the big guys out

So when they shout, all the mobs just go into the wall

Omega brain

#

PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND SHOUT

frosty mango

Also shockwave knock up stops the kickback so no Los necessary

You're a pillar

Of truth

Justice

cerulean tusk
#

1st pull? He talking about the wall as you walk from room 1 into room 2, the cove to the left.

In general you can always move the big guy from the pack without much problem, as casters gonna cast when gathered, so you can aim the knockback by having the pack and big guy spread controlled by your hitbox.
Aka: Pull it a bit from the pack, run through its hitbox, this will make it step away from you - as it doesnt want to stand inside of you, having it split from the pack with minimum movement

solid sun
#

How in the heck do you run all the way down the corridor on the left

#

And all the way back

#

Without showing your back to stuff and not wasting like all your defensives

#

Is there a teleporter I’m missing

cerulean tusk
#

Ya mean 1st pull?

solid sun
#

Yeh Roid said he takes the entire left side

#

Plus the pack guarding the entry to the second room I’m guessing

cerulean tusk
#

1st room is easy, you just throw, and taunt - shieldcharge the big guy, leap into room 2, heroic throw the casters as you pull towards the left and LoS, wait for them all to gather on you.

#

If you in theory wanted to pull all of room 1 and 2, (all the way to the boss), you simply run to the left-side pillar, wait for the kobolds to jump down and clap em, then run on following that wall. Then run into that alcove to have them gather.

#

If people dont LoS roars tho, I can see em die quite easily

solid sun
#

Maybe I’m just tryna go too fast

coarse latch
#

interesting

#

i like this pull because theres so many options

next pasture
#

why would one pull the first wing of gorechop after 1st boss in theater of pain, then backtrack to xav's wing and clear there? is this not the exact same timing as just going straight to xav wing and holding lust for gorechop? except you don't waste time backtracking?

frosty mango
#

All the way to the end

#

In the boss area there’s a wall you can walk around to the left

frosty mango
#

I grab the entire first area, run down the hall, charge the wicklighters and then disrupting them as I move to the moleherd pack

#

I drag them back to the door and it all stacks there with just

#

I use shockwave to stop the knock back and they’re all dead before the second

#

If you Los the first pull you are also losing your healer which can be problematic because you’re getting shit on by wicklighters before the group catches up

toxic gyro
#

anyone have a nice wa showing all group's aoe stops ?

frosty mango
#

So you can have lust for boss which would not be the case if you’re skipping minis, so doing first section of plague gives you an efficient pull to align your lust timer

#

That’s the only reason I can think of

#

I always do xav last so we can lust gore chop and pull trash into boss, imo lusting xav is a waste because you’re losing uptime constantly

Attaches to your raid/party frame and you can customize it

Guys does anyone know how can I get to have more visible attacks which I have blocked. For example on my unit frame where is your char portrait you get incoming heals and dmg and also it shows dmg which you have blocked. But my problem is that too many heals are overwhelming the frame and you can't really see what did you block and that moment. Anyone has anything to track or see attacks which I have blocked or how to remove incoming heals on frame. I have check blizzard options but I can't find anything. I am using standard wow unit frames

round pendant
#

you need the advanced interface options addon

#

and you can disable incoming heals, etc

#

but ideally you'd just log and check after a dungeon/etc

#

if you're reacting to not blocking anything you already fucked up

lofty wren

I get you but I am not interested in checking logs don't have time for it. Will progress tru dungeons and see where and how I take dmg

Idgi

solid sun
#

You can take out a mount with multiple seats

#

And just sit there with open seats and let party members jump in them if they fail to get up on the ledge

#

Even with that it’s faster than slogging through those two mini bosses

solemn current
#

Mounts don’t work in DFC

echo egret
#

Well well...

#

What trinket to buy now ? I have none on mythic track. (and no mythic raid done)

#

I have a tome of light blabla on hero track

jagged gust
#

theres nothing that's truly remarkable

#

tome/pacemaker are good if you can max their ilvls and dont have hero delve trinkets

#

jastor is good if you can maintain it

echo egret
#

i can't buy jastor

solid sun
#

Myth pacemaker

echo egret
#

I have a Funhouse Lens that's high on my sims

solid sun
#

AFAIK the best two trinkets you can get outside of raid are myth track pacemaker and tome

#

With Mud being the defensive alternative if you can’t get a hero track bombsuit

echo egret
#

(I sim for mythic+)

solid sun
#

Idk what that means

echo egret
#

That my Funhouse Lens (where's that from ?) at max hero track beats other myth track trinkets

solid sun
#

What kind of sim are you doing

echo egret
#

Patchwerk 5 bosses 1min30

#

plus the script for Tome

solid sun
#

Sounds bad

#

Myth pacemaker and myth tome

#

Ez

echo egret
#

I thought that was the general consensus on how to sim for M+

solid sun
#

Sure

#

It’s the best we can do since there isn’t a legit m+ sim

#

Could also do 1 minute instead of 1.5 minute

#

But I’ve never seen anyone here recommend funhouse lens over some combo of pacemaker/house of cards/tome/ bombsuit/mud

echo egret
#

... and yet "sim yourself" is the usual motto 🙂

solid sun
#

And the sim shows a pacemaker

#

Which was my recommendation :)

#

It could be that tome holds extra value for single target damage which isn’t necessarily reflected in an aoe sim

#

Could also be that HoC outperforms lens in aoe so it never gets added to the list of recommendations. Iirc lens is a delve trinket which means it caps out at hero track?

echo egret
#

Aye it is

pallid quiver
#

So, even for DPS specs, simming for M+ ultimately involves some form of feelycraft since the encounters/instances aren't scripted and pre-set the way raids are.

mighty valley
#

yeah, if i super care, i do some mix of 5 target, 8 target, 1.5 mins and 2 mins, and also take ST into account

#

and just make a call that's probably pretty arbitrary

pallid quiver
#

The only way to get a real sim for your M+ would be to already have an idea about how your route is going to go, how long things will take, and account for all of those factors.

#

you can also just gear for max ST, as well, since bosses are the one thing you can't really gameplay around to go faster

#

while trash throughout the dungeon you could pull more mobs together to suddenly make whatever you have just do more damage and effectively go faster

quiet gazelle

Hi all! I'm dabbling in prot warrior for funsies atm, don't know how serious I'll take it, but figured I'll give it a shot. I got my 3 puzzling chips and I'm wondering what to get - I'm primarily going to be in M+ and not raid, so I'm leaning towards the Chromebustible Bomb Suit because I won't be raiding and the Mud/Pacemaker is farmable, but the Mud looks pretty comparable to it and the CDR looks interesting? Given the fact that I'm SEVERELY undergeared (fresh 80, 612 ilvl with no tier), what do y'all think I should pick up first as a starter piece?

mighty valley
quiet gazelle
mighty valley
#

Especially since our mastery is generally low on our gear

#

There's no stat that's horrible for us anyway

quiet gazelle
#

True, and I'm sure it's better than this random green PVP trinket 😛

mighty valley
#

yeah, with dinars it really depends if you're more interested in getting close to perfect by the end of the season

#

or just want a big upgrade now

#

and if you're only going for 10s, really can't go wrong with just a decent heroic stat button

quiet gazelle
#

Just need a little boost for now, I'm playing alts while I'm recovering from surgery so I'm exploring other options and trying to give myself the best experience in case I end up really liking something else in this downtime =]

solid sun
#

Figured that was it

#

Everything going swell now until the pack before rexxar/rexxar

#

Once I get that little section down I get to try out 8 mask thrall

warm plinth
#

Pro tip: pull pack before Rexxar down a little and stand uphill from the large dude

#

Headbutt will barely move you. Also, focus the swarmleader; he's the actual danger.

#

He gives all the small guys a big haste buff, which makes the stun poison stack much faster.

jagged gust
#

you can skip like 3/4 of rexxar's wing

warm plinth
#

(You can also spell reflect headbutt, which is big funnies)

sharp gale
#

Or you can skip the pack

#

With leap

warm plinth
#

I do Drag>Honor>Wisdom>Spirits. Once you clear honor, it's over

#

Just a matter of time after that

sharp gale
#

Yep I prefer to have the fail moment quick rather near the end

warm plinth
#

The first time I got to Rexxar (died mostly to either stuns in Honor or being impatient on last boss of Drag), I cleared it. Rexxar himself was pretty chill; I just slow rolled him til first two adds were dead, then bursted

jagged gust
#

its the boar knockback into disorient into shadow trap for an instant -800 sanity on that fight

warm plinth
#

I would recommend not standing anywhere near a trap. I fight him where he stands. Then move across to the other half after 2nd add dies so they charge over there + I can see stampede better to dodge

#

Could also try the funny haha strat where you pull him out of the building then immediately demolish on reset before his health catches up to the mask scaling

#

I haven't tested to see if it works yet this time around but I have the feeling that it does.

jagged gust
#

the only thing actually killing me is my overconfidence

#

"I know there's 5 mobs in this pack that can stun me and gammon spawns in 4 kills, but I got it this time"

warm plinth
#

Yeah, it was tough to get used to with multitudes; so many scarabs

#

The stun comes so fast

#

Hmmmm

jagged gust
#

dbm made a visions addon, and there's also some handynotes plugin

solid sun
#

Gotcha

#

Ill try focusing the swarmleader when i get back home

#

I was doing the other side first because I check to see if the blacksmith dude is up

#

But I guess I could just do that and then go over to the other side anyways

warm plinth
#

Well, you can still take the time to clear there if you want. Might as well get good use out of the first gamon

echo egret
#

Rexxar would be piss easy without a ceiling to block your camera

knotty mantle
#

why do we prefer crit when vers seems like it'd be a much more consistent stat for mitigation?

pallid quiver
#

it does more damage, and vers isn't actually that good for mitigation

#

Crit is also technically consistent over time

#

You have 25% parry, you parry 25% of attacks that can be parried over time

#

Vers takes a lot of rating to increase the actual value of that stat, and the defensive value of it is even half of what the offensive benefit is

#

On top of that, vers isn't the only way to protect yourself from things like dots/bleeds/etc outside of a vacuum; you're still getting hit by melees and other things that reinforce the threat from said dot

#

Overall, in realistic use cases for tanks, all of the secondaries for Prot War are close enough that as long as you have stats at all, you're good; the large majority of your defensive strength comes from play, anyhow, so most gearing decisions are made with maximizing dps from there

Am I right in thinking most of the time im just mashing SS and Revenge inbetween keeping IP and SB up? I feel like that’s all I’m hitting most of the time in M+

warm plinth
#

That's a lot of it yes

sharp merlin
#

I sometimes play Thunderlord too

#

And When VO is triggered so I always use it on SS?

warm plinth
#

As colossus, yes

sharp merlin
#

How come whenever I get VO triggered my SS is on CD for 3 seconds?

warm plinth
#

It happens. You can use outburst on tc if you can't avoid it but should use on ss whenever possible. It's OK to send a global or two on revenge to fish for a reset but after that you should just use the outburst

sharp merlin
#

That’s what I do, just Revenge till it resets

#

But then there’s an oopsie moment when you keep revenging till you’re out of Rage and suddenly you SB drops off and you don’t have enough to get it back up lol

Is there a reason why not TC? (Sorry I am new)

frosty mango
# round pendant I've never not gotten 3??

First set you get three, one bee takes out two barrels, second bee takes out the last. As the next barrels are about to spawn someone gets on the last bee and sends it towards the swirls. It hits them as they spawn and blows them up, then when the boss calls bees only one comes

#

Then you take that one bee and do the same for each set

#

Sometimes you can hit all 3 and you think you’re lucky but you gotta only hit two or then you get three on the next round

#

That was a big brain sentence

frosty mango
#

TLDR throw the bee at the barrels as they are spawning and if you blow them up fast enough no bees

round pendant
#

Oh

Hi all! QQ: Are we holding Demolish until we have 10 stacks of Might? I have been just sending at start of pack while in Avatar and Demo Shout, but seems like there are some sicko benefits to holding. It also seems like this might only be a start of combat problem, since you will always generally have a few stacks rolling by the time it comes off CD net

#

*Next

mighty valley
#

I send it with however many stacks I have when I’m done gathering and my feet are planted, then if you’re doing the rotation right you should hit 10 stacks by the time it’s back

Questio why aren't we taking Battle Scared Veteran? Or we do and in which situations?

pallid quiver
#

You do when it's useful; essentially, if there's a reasonable chance of you dying/getting low/mistake being made means key wipe, it can be a worthwhile pickup

#

You'd generally drop Battering Ram for it, though there's an argument for Ravager, as well

#

The bigger issue is that for the largest majority of the playerbase, it'd do almost literally nothing

The content isn't dangerous enough if you're pressing almost any buttons at all, and if you're not pressing any buttons at all and it procs, you'll probably just die after it wears off

#

since that means even your healer is asleep at the wheel

I don’t have the Mud trinket yet

Generally I save SC for when all the packs are gathered, no point in wasting dps

First boss is rough, even in a 12 I was rotating defensive a like a madman

#

SR the aoe and hope your healer is good enough to keep you up

solemn current
#

You can use spell block for the AoE and a couple judgments early in the fight as well and still have it back up for church pull. Best thing to do is to get shield wall on CD early (never let it get to 2 charges) and try to use demolish/demo shout and even use avatar defensively. When you don’t have those up shield wall if close to 2 charges or bomb suit to get it on CD. Ask for external from healer or pally if needed. Spell reflect when up anytime you’re taking a judgement or the AoE is happening.

frosty mango
#

Here you go @sharp merlin

#

Check the message I quoted

#

For big momma the cadence is the same but you can also use spellblock

#

For Braunpike you rotate wall/ava/spellblock but at a certain key level you’re spamming ignore pain and praying your healer good

#

Around 16/17 or so imo

#

Finally broke 3m overall in floodgate

#

I dunno why that was such a struggle

so if you use shield charge while you have SB, you'll get +8 seconds added on

And for the gear, it’s like in bfa with corrupted gear, you loot 1 per week and if you redo you get -1 mask loot until no loot

warm plinth
#

Idk where the gear thing came from though?

#

Like what you were commenting on for that I mean

sharp gale
#

From the start : I told which masks I suggest to do 5masks visions with alts… you do visions for loot, so I provide context on what loot is given by vision

#

And if you struggle more for sanity, I wouldn’t suggest adding 10x more trashs to remove which other mask ?

love dying to what i believe to be the healer sucking, start to wonder if i'm the problem, see the healer is healing himself more than me in the overall dungeon, look at logs at same key level, and see other prot warriors get over 2x the hps io got from the same class of healer

#

cannot believe this shit happens in 18s, i am literally hardstuck

round cliff
next pasture
#

some should not be as difficult as they are for me, ML should be nothing, ToP should be nothing

#

but in theater, i'm not joking, everyone dies on gorechop to the leaps. on ML, all the healer has to do is see when i don't have spell block, and realize i need more healing than usual. (A SINGLE BOSS!)

#

dungeons like rookery, where there are 42069 casts a minute, yeah, that can be cringe

sharp merlin
#

@pallid quiver so it’s okay to press SB whilst SB has time left?

Where you are reliant on the healer

#

At least you’re not a blood dk

#

There really aren’t a lot of prot warriors as you climb

#

I tell every healer at the start of the key where I’m going to need attention because honestly most keys are vdh and healers are used to never healing the tank

Depends on what specifically you're dying to; sometimes it's the healer's fault, sometimes it's yours, usually it's a combo of both. Sometimes they're not used to where they need to give attention to Warrior, since where we struggle is different than other tanks. DKs generally don't have as bad a time with dots since their main mit is self-healing that scales with damage taken (to the point where solo-tanking raid encounters with BDK was a valid strategy before they changed Death Strike mechs), for example, so Warrior needs more assistance there. You generally don't need as much assistance at the very start of a pull as some other tanks do, however, due to SB, so there's less damage coming in. The biggest issue is that Prot Warrior is on the exact opposite spectrum of two of the more popular tanks overall (VDH due to being meta a lot and BDK is just traditionally a favored tank by a lot of players), so people don't get used to how it works and where it struggles.

Honesty as a disc main I can smell from a mile away which priests this season are FOTM and which are old disc players.

#

Some discs suck if you take away their VDH, since they are not familiar with the new damage intake profile of the prot warr

#

In Rook 16 last boss I had leap + SW CD off and the guy didn't heal because he thought I was gonna heal myself and was just smiting

chilly brook
#

?

#

doesn't smite heal?

slender bison
#

Not for spot healing

chilly brook
#

also you should basically never need healing on that boss

#

tank hit is avoidable

#

and blockable with spell block if you truly can't

#

you can just top yourself from leech and IV

#

healer healed me for 12m total on that boss in a 17

next pasture
#

mud + bombsuit trivializes big momma, or i'd also say that

slender bison
#

Exactly, but I had CDs due to bad positioning when chaining the boss with CDs off from previous void rock fight

#

Someone was too close and had to pull

chilly brook
#

you barely need CDs on that fight?

#

15 tank busters

slender bison
#

Damn, I should get Mud trinket at least

chilly brook

I only took 4

#

you can literally dodge almost all of them lmao

max melee range and strafe ez game

slender bison
#

This week is 3rd coin, so prob need to decide between Myth Mud or Tome

chilly brook
#

pretty big waste, heroic mud is fine enough, tome seems pretty useless in higher keys

slender bison
#

Don't even have heroic Mud keks

chilly brook
#

it's farmable 🙂

slender bison
chilly brook
#

I would definitely not recommend running double tank trinket

sinful copper
#

@chilly brook in rookery 17, do u think doing triple right pull as 2nd pull is feasible in pug?

#

With lust

chilly brook
#

Idk

#

I just do big pull first with lust

sinful copper
#

Ah I see. Do u do para skip?

#

I think 17s is when the skips and unique pulls are required right? Like bubbles skip, double hop skip, any triples with lust, etc

chilly brook
sinful copper
#

Do u do thunderer and big bird in first pull on left then?

chilly brook
#

yeah

#

4 pack on right everything in middle and the caster/bird

slender bison
#

I find easier to get 3 more sleepy void mobs in the big hall. Less risky that the big bird pull at start

#

Unless it's resi key

chilly brook
#

there's not much risk

#

don't eat balls

#

and don't stand in circles

#

casters melt

#

and you have aoe interrupt

earnest cove
#

In my experience the struggle was getting the caster in with pugs…

chilly brook
#

definitely

#

but I also tell a ranged dps to kick the mob before the key starts

slender bison
#

Yeah, need DK or you need to disrupt them at the right time with boss casters

earnest cove
#

Had the one standing literally on multiple stand there and burn the grp down, no one cared

chilly brook
earnest cove
#

IF the Dk notices that. Yeah… ppl are just Zug Zug often

chilly brook
#

it's really not rocket science

slender bison
#

That's why I prefer hall mobs, zero risk

#

I know dude, but it is what it is

earnest cove
chilly brook
#

mark the mobs before key starts, and assign it to someone

#

make sure they get the message and acknowledge it

#

if they can't bother giving you an affirmitive response just replace

#

that being said the more people talk before a key starts the more it seems to go wrong

earnest cove
#

True story

slender bison
#

Yeah, noticed chatty ToP people die to 1st boss frontal or failing to soothe rhino

chilly brook
#

anyone who starts a game of 20 questions before the key starts is like a red flag

earnest cove
#

Had lots of fun with the miniboss before 2nd boss in ML17 while nobody cared to remove enraged 🙂

slender bison
#

There's a new ToP tech - after first boss dies, challenge to pet battle and forfeit when the floor starts to open. Forfeit and skip chocking RP

#

Need to try this

chilly brook
#

^ you in that ML

earnest cove
#

Haha

#

Pugging is lots of fun

#

Hey guys, what does those % means for m+ ?
In damage done tab, I think it's like on raid boss your parse for dps, so it means for this key (floodgate 12) i'm only in mid tier ?

sinful copper

wispy moth
#

But I think it's a lot to do for these saves. If you're not doing 20+ it doesnt really matters

#

specially if you're doing in pug

chilly brook
#

1.7m overall is fairly low in a 12

next pasture
chilly brook
#

if you mouse over it it shows you

wispy moth
#

So I need to improve this

chilly brook
#

you're also like 20ilvl behind

#

so

wispy moth
#

And, how you handled first boss on priory ? Even in 12, at 664 ilvl without def trinkets, I've got difficulties to handle the dot without spaming IP and playing only in defensive gameplay

wispy moth
chilly brook
#

keys aren't separated by ilvl

wispy moth
#

Oh

#

Ok so I dont relly on this ?

chilly brook
#

looking at a damage parse in a key is only helpful to see how much damage you did

#

doesn't mean you're playing bad if you have a lower parse nor does it mean you played well if you have a high one

chilly brook
wispy moth
#

Ok that's what I did

#

But the dot dealing so much even in 12

ionic fern
#

It really doesn't.

#

Rotate defensives. Be sure you get dispelled.

earnest cove
#

Healer needs to dispel asap. Rotate Defs incl avatar

ionic fern
#

Be in dstance and drop rage into IP if needed.

wispy moth
#

Ah

#

My healer maybe never dispelled xD

#

Because always took full bleed

dispel is the damage amp

#

not the bleed

I never swap either. Just doesnt seem worth in keys for a measly ~3% damage

wispy moth
#

Taking note

pallid quiver
#

3% crit

#

that being said, if it's a 10 or lower in pretty much any season at any point, you're taking that 3% crit from my cold, dead hands

woeful trellis
#

Can anyone explain? We didnt timed it, cause of stupid deaths from hunter and heal, they didnt know what a def cds is.. or what proactive mean.
But why does a rogue does less Dmg than a tank, last boss cinder 🧐

ionic fern
#

First time?

#

A lot of DPS players are horrid.

pallid quiver
#

still higher than a dps player i ran into earlier

pallid quiver
#

it was an unholy dk

i'd show the whole chart and bars to compare, but his was so low it'd show his name

#

So all things considered, I'd say that Rogue was doing just fine

wispy moth
#

Already ran with an demo lock, his pet dismissed by himself and didnt sum it back

pallid quiver

the only damage he really dealt was pet damage and autos
