I am wondering if Blizzard is going to allow to to reach 800 item level this expac before the impending squish they have planned for Midnight. I would imagine they will just draw out TWW in a S4 end of expac system as usual

@undone beacon Oh really ? Ok well thats a change

lusty grotto
#

right

#

this is the last season

undone beacon
#

Yeah, they want to roll right into the new xpac since they're on a whole three xpac arc now

lusty grotto
#

or so the rumor goes

#

midnight is going to be announced in a week

undone beacon
#

Our fated season will be legion remix, easy

frigid valley
#

i would assume we get a 2-3month longer season than usual then remix shifts over into new expack

That being said I wonder when they are planning the stat squish then

And had a small amount of work to do this morning

And wowhead kneecaps me

Not really

Arms has been removed and put in the DH class

It is still doable

Not do it

Huge difference

lusty grotto

its the principle of it

I'm only hoping they fix Brann and him making it actually harder for us

It's like when I went to NL at the end of Legion specifically to spell reflect dargrul. It wasn't about doing the dungeon. I just wanted to see giant drogbar go yeet

Now whenever I actually start doing it at some point and complain about some part of it Jakey is gonna taunt me by telling me to spell reflect the daggers cause that’s what he did

In other news : Shield Block is too complex and difficult to determine when to correctly use and on what attacks so it will be removed and replaced with a new talent.

lusty grotto
#

i cant wait for the tier nerf to just land early as punishment for this

frozen furnace
#

What matters is I tried to do the exploit before it got nerfed

warm plinth
# blazing shuttle What even is that.

The nemesis is what they refer to the big bad in delves as (e.g. underpin). There's not actually a race and I read that comment as being heavy sarcasm since that exact phrase has been used for RWF shenanigans.

Oh man can you imagine if the nerf hits now

lusty grotto

lol

DOA

That's what you get for stepping out of line woyers

I just tried to do it like 10 times, the Daggers ignored spell reflect

We've decided to remove spell block again, that's right, again, dont ask how that is happening, due to the sassy ass brown class behaving like asses - Blizzard

warrior can no longer spell reflect spells 😭

Eat that magic like a man.

lusty grotto

let me re-phrase that

warm plinth

Might as well just rename it to Spell Deflection

remote tusk

On the floor.

will just be changed to spell deflect

Damn my luck

waxen cradle
#

You can't reflect the daggers anymore... they want you to die, thats the way they feel warriors should be

lusty grotto
#

you know

remote tusk
#

Spell Reflect doesn't work anymore, instead of just changing it to Deflect, they just removed the possibility to do anything against it.

lusty grotto
#

im gonna be honest

#

lol

#

if it doesnt even deflect, thats gonna be...

#

expected as punishment i guess?

#

a little bit fucked tbh but its blizzard

blizzard gonna make are shields out of paper next just you wait.

They "could" make the daggers a blockable effect, but thats in a world where they did not take away spell block so who I am kidding

Does execute deal its damage when you press or after the animation?

#

The numbers appear after the animation but but I swear I’ve seen stuff die as soon as I press it

lusty grotto
#

thats a strange question

#

just check the combat log

plush tendon
#

the extra int helps me train weapon skill faster

rigid hull
#

also why this season we are skiping most of the defensives talents? is the overall damage taken reduced @lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

like what

frail ibex
plush tendon
rigid hull
lusty grotto
#

indom has been trash since TWW

#

started

plush tendon
#

the vast majority of players dont need to become the michelin man

lusty grotto
#

enduring is heavily nerfed

#

no longer has 8% armor

#

and went down from 8% stam to 5%

rigid hull
#

ye i guess 2% haste isnt worth it either

lusty grotto
#

no longer worth

#

FttF also got nerfed

dusky canopy
#

If your talents don’t make you live long killing the targets faster is more betterer

lusty grotto
#

every defensive talent you see either got gutted, or nerfed

"spellbreaker" seems lit

rigid hull
#

oh xd

harsh trellis
#

for Kyveza, when the 3 things come out. What is the trick for that?

lusty grotto
#

you do not want to rely on RNG

#

hunker down is an option though

frail ibex
#

Hunker down seems pretty giga tho

lusty grotto
#

so is BSV

#

and FttF kind of even if nerfed

#

so those are the only 3

plush tendon
lusty grotto
#

yeah perhaps

rigid hull
plush tendon
#

but a 8% chance to reduce damage is just not reliable

frail ibex
plush tendon
#

in any real content

frail ibex
#

nvm

#

I found it

vale escarp
#

Just give it 100% to reduce 8% Magic damage and it would be finde

lusty grotto
#

lol

plush tendon
#

honestly, prot warrior would cream for something that helped deal with dots

#

like bleeds

vale escarp
#

And? It would be fine for us

lusty grotto
#

yeah but bleeds arent magic

plush tendon
#

I know

#

Spellbreaker is just flawed at its core

kind glen
#

bleeding should make us stronger

plush tendon
#

should just be sent to the scrap heap

lusty grotto
#

trust, i posted very early on the feedback thread how it was gonna be a dead talent

frail ibex
lusty grotto
#

and all they did was put the version that exists now

#

which is still a dead talent

plush tendon
#

heck, if Bitter Imunity cleansed bleeds

#

that be pretty cool

lusty grotto
#

it was what? 1% for 100% or some bs?

#

5% for 100%?

#

i cant remember

lusty grotto
kind glen
#

4% for 100% I believe lol

#

Laughably bad

vale escarp
lusty grotto
#

yeah like i said

#

the warrior dev doesnt play warrior

woven perch
#

4% chance that you didn't believe in magic keks

kind glen
#

but that 4% chance though. could have been epic

plush tendon
#

tanks hate % chance to reduce damage

#

unreliable mitagation

vale escarp
#

Such a stupid idea having a def talent which is just rng If you die or not

lusty grotto
#

defensive use shouldnt be rng based

#

thats why spell block was perfect

plush tendon
#

most of the time youll have a CD running if its dangerous and it becomes overkill if a defensive thing procs

flat tundra
plush tendon
#

like, great, I got a spellbreaker proc but I have SW running

harsh trellis
#

so Kyveza was patched

plush tendon
#

what a waste

woven perch

still trying to figure out why protadins get to block spells all the time and we don't

lusty grotto

yes kyveza was fixed 10 mins after the wowhead post

woven perch
#

the so-called "masters of blocking"

harsh trellis
#

still.. with the 3 mobs that spawn... youre supposed to face them but I do not see the red beam they put out

#

is that bugged now?

#

cause in the videos they show a red beam youre supposed to face

lusty grotto
#

dunno

woven perch
#

i just look for the void effect on their spawn and turn to each one in their spawn order

lusty grotto
#

they had a red beam when i did it

also its not 3

#

its 6

its quick af too. and you better not be 3degrees off

its crazy fast yeah

# jagged gust It's a delve achieve

doesnt matter what it is, its the precedent of letting people abuse an unintended game mechanic, but the worst they'll do is remove kil credit and rewards because its not like the rep abusers during palace wf race

agile elbow
#

They shouldn't have added it to the spell reflect list if it wasn't intended. clueless

woven perch
#

they dont even know what goes on the list aand what doesn't

lusty grotto
#

its in the spell reflect list because thats exactly how it worked on Nerubar Palace

woven perch
lusty grotto
#

and then turned into a deflect

jagged pier
#

not our false they forgor

woven perch
jagged pier
#

they didnt with zkevir

#

and i doubt they will with this

#

They'll just patch it ASAP and keep everything that already has it

woven perch
#

depends how much publicity it gets

jagged pier
#

as its already fixed

#

very little

woven perch
#

did whatever abuse on zekvir get wowhead coverage? i never seen anything

jagged pier
#

nope but it was fixed just as quickly

agile elbow
#

Oh did this already fix this one?

lusty grotto
#

yes

woven perch

could easilly be the difference, dont underestimate people's ability to cry, bitch and moan when they see the wowhead post and see its finally been fixed lol

woven perch
lusty grotto
#

cry bitch and moan when they see spell reflect numbers, you mean

#

all in all it wasnt an exploit

woven perch
#

it wasn't, but it clearly wasn't intended

lusty grotto
#

you SR'd the daggers in kyveza anyway

woven perch
#

there's no argument, it wasn't intended

u can say that about a lot of things

lusty grotto

even AFTER it got turned into a deflect

There is nothing to gain from delve 11s this hole fight pointless

lusty grotto
#

yeah pepega is right

woven perch
#

pretty much, it's just to unlock them for next week

lusty grotto
#

its a cosmetic and an achievement

#

power wise, you gain nothing

#

so in terms of "exploiting", it does nothing negatively for the game

#

and i put quotes there, because i dont agree its even in the same level

harsh trellis
#

OHHHH

#

the adds make sense now

#

I got it

woven perch
#

technically all the shit they nerfed on remix gained you nothing, you could get all the cosmetics and mounts without doing all that

lusty grotto
#

seed farming exploits did

#

in amirdrassil

#

but even then it wasnt that huge

#

you only reduced time to get the rune thing

woven perch
#

see though seeds gave you shit for upgrading your character, im equating ?? kyveza to remix because theres no character power gain there either way

lusty grotto
#

spark exploits, rep exploits that awarded you enchanted crests, those were more severe

woven perch
#

but they clearly gave a shit about people doing things too fast in remix

woven perch
#

i'm not bitching?

lusty grotto
#

seed farming gave you rep, which you needed to buy the endless rune in DF

woven perch
#

havent even said people should get it taken away, i'm just saying dont be surprised if they do

lusty grotto
#

echo got people banned for it

#

cause they got it in week 1

woven perch
#

they did it before for things that are just cosmetic

lusty grotto
#

short bans, but still

smoky pollen
#

I can say that undoubtedly as a player, I was never going to get the stupid Kyveza achievement anyway. I don’t think I’m alone in that sentiment

#

So any sort of punishment Blizzard does because they can’t test things appropriately, is stupid.

jagged pier
#

its 4 mechanics on repeat?

u cant do that?

u know exactly what mechanic is coming next

harsh trellis
#

Seriously its not bad and im bad .... go practice on the regular version first. we are a day into season 3.. also with better gear later on you can get it... The reason so many people got it already was because you could rush in, hit spell reflect and get the achievement

lusty grotto
#

i dont think they are complaining about doing it or not

scarlet vault
#

hello how do i get the back if i skip the campaign

lusty grotto

they are just saying that if there's punishment, its stupid

They might have just forced you not to be able to use the 2 together because it’s pointless and bugs out the animation anyways. Shield charge is only really used in melee range preferably with damage amps up.

I guess, I most definitely wouldn't say it's pointless xD There are times
Seems like an odd thing to "fix" I never noticed any animation issues

plush tendon
#

they always hide stuns in M+ and raid

dusky canopy
#

It is very strong especially during progression raiding

rose flame
#

Which is more important to keep up. IW or SB?

plush tendon
#

I assume by IW you mean Ignore Pain, and its 100% SB

#

shield block is busted

#

IP is a rage dump

dusky canopy
#

Are you asking if it’s important to maintain shield block

#

?

rose flame
plush tendon
#

its always Shield Block

#

thinking about IP uptime is dumb

rose flame
#

okie dokie

dusky canopy
#

You never want to let shieldblock fall off

rose flame
#

I'm just looking at my binds to make sure that I'm putting things in the most convienient spot

plush tendon
#

espeically when we play MT with tier

#

you will have so much rage

#

that youll be spamming IP

#

to just not overcap

rose flame
#

Also, why the hell did they make it so that you have 2 charges, but it doesn't add the time if you use both. I've fucked up and accidently wasted time on my SB so many time :/

plush tendon
#

it does

#

you can have up to 18 seconds of SB duration

dusky canopy
#

You can have 3 full duration shield blocks at a time I thought?

solid sun
#

24 seconds

rose flame
#

did it always do that?

#

I feel like last patch they clipped and overlapped

plush tendon
#

been like that ever since I started playing Prot War

#

which was BFA

rose flame
#

Okay, I'm just imagining things then

#

Is ther a point where I'll want to rage dump into revenge over IP?

compact obsidian
#

Can you keep SB up 100%?

solid sun
#

Yes

#

When you have low haste you talent into Heavy Repercussions

#

When you have enough haste you talent into ITF instead

compact obsidian
#

Hmm wonder if there is a WA that tells you when it’s about to expire also when you have rage to dump into IP

solid sun
#

I recommend perusing wago.io for a WA suite you like

#

Showing how much rage you have and what your SB buff's time is at are pretty standard components of a pwar WA suite

compact obsidian
#

they say you wait for like 60-80 rage to dump ip?

quiet pagoda
solid sun
#

I tend to dump at about 75 rage

wide charm
#

I mean I hardly ever look at my buff for shield block -- just glance at your stacks. There really isn't a reason to not consume your sb charges if you are in combat unless you know the fight is about to end and you aren't going right into another

#

and keep in mind shield charge grants a charge of sb as well

quiet pagoda
#

I have one that also tracks the rage spent and turns green for example so I know when next shieldslam will be empowered

#

When back behind pc I can find one and share

compact obsidian
#

I’ll look into it. I wanna give MT prot a go this season but juggling all the buttons intimidated me

wide charm
#

Have you made a ss macro yet?

compact obsidian
#

This is coming from a Gdruid who uses like 4 abilities lol

#

No?

wide charm
#

So you have Shield Slam but you should also have a separate button for Ignore Pain+Shield Slam

#

especially as mountain thane, you will most definitely find it extremely useful

#

Apart from managing your cooldowns, rage management is going to take a little while to get the hang of

dense cradle
#

Is MT already more damage than colo

#

without new tier

wide charm
#

And there are a LOT of times when you need to shield slam but your rage is kind of high

#

so you should be hitting IP

#

and it really sucks to have to hit 2 separate buttons for it

solid sun
#

Unless you just want to play Thane for fun

#

Which is also very valid

dense cradle
#

👎

wide charm
#

There really isn't a time, ever, where you'd want to hit IP but you also DON'T want to shield slam
that scenario doesn't exist.

dense cradle
#

fun is more dam

#

clearly

wide charm
#

So macroing them makes the most sense

chilly ermine
#

would u reco colossus or mountan in season 3?

wide charm
#

I mean, I'm just returning after a 4 month break so don't take my word as law, but MT looks insane right now with the set bonuses

solid sun
#

MT is the play for both m+ and raid

woven perch
#

I recommend thane period, but especially if you're new to prot

solid sun
#

currently

#

Once you have the new 4pc

#

If you still have old 4pc, Col will be more damage.

wide charm
#

I don't think it's worth it to get use to Colo then swap

#

especially if you aren't already very experienced

#

just stay thane, you'll have 4pc in a week or two

solid sun
#

MT is just standard base pwar

#

And is easier than Col

#

So learning Col really shouldn't negatively impact your ability to swap over to MT imo

wide charm
#

The rage management is wildly different

#

but meh, I've played both so doesn't bother me

strong forum
#

Added execute cleave to rotation page

south sandal
#

yo is prot a good spec to get into tanking? i've played bdk before but that was ages ago

strong forum
#

Prot is one of the easiest tanks to play yeah

#

It's got a slightly more involved playstyle than bear but similar in how to use cds

#

Since block barely works on anything these days

south sandal
#

okay, thanks for the input, does it have a decent ceiling or is it pretty easy no matter what?

strong forum
#

Depends who you ask

wide charm
#

There is a very big difference between a bad and good prot war.

south sandal
#

assuming the resources to become decent at it are within the dsicord?

wide charm
#

I mean I don't feel like the class is overly complex. But there are several defensive CDs to manage as well as rage management.
It's extremely easy to do either of those poorly and believe me your healer will absolutely notice.

dusky canopy
#

It has a skill ceiling just like any spec does, but realistically you can get very far by simply pressing shield slam on cooldown, maintaining shield block, and not overcapping rage as best you can with ip or revenge

strong forum
#

A bad pwar will die 24/7 cuz we are not good at recovering from mistakes

#

A good pwar will not have his HP move

wide charm
#

Ye, this tank is primarily about damage smoothing, not "oh shit let me fix that"

solid sun
#

I feel like the rage management portion of the calculus will be significantly less of an issue this season

wide charm
#

It's kinda easier as MT, but people overcap a lot when they are newer to the class

dusky canopy
#

IMO it still matters because you want to fuel the machine

wide charm
#

so MT kinda makes it harder for newer players to the spec imo

dusky canopy
#

And wasting any rage at all is less than optimal

solid sun
#

huh

#

You drown in rage and send IP

#

boom done

wide charm
#

You'd think lol

solid sun
#

Way easier to not make a big oopsie as MT than Col

plush tendon
#

yea

#

as Col you are incentivize to press revenge

#

as MT much less so

is there an updated APL to properly sim tome of light's devotion? The one in the pin is broken because of the new talents

compact obsidian

I macro’d charge and shield charge together I’m assuming I shouldn’t do that?

violet ginkgo
#

you shouldn't

compact obsidian
#

Okay

plush tendon
#

treat Shield Charge like a dps cd

compact obsidian
#

I won’t

plush tendon
#

use it on CD

compact obsidian
#

Okay

#

Like already grouped up mobs use it?

plush tendon
#

ideally yea

compact obsidian
#

Not as a mobility use

plush tendon
#

in rare cases you can use it for movement or to stun a mob

#

but ideal use is after you pop Demo+Avatar

#

for big dammies

compact obsidian

Just trying to minimize button bloat

It’s more than any tank I’ve played lol

Monk has even more buttons than we do

vulpera or highmountain then ?

Vulpera still has that first hit reduced by X% or whatever

Vulpera, period

willow delta

Gnomes are pro

dusky canopy

That’s pretty goated

Maybe I just have stuff on my bar that isn’t used

Exactly due to the reason brew said

Highmountain Tauren will give you 1% Vers which means you take 0,5% less damage 🧠

Yes I remember someone putting some logs and/or details breakdowns of something like that

dusky canopy

Gamer math

dense cradle

isnt kultiran also 1% vers

or something like

Kultiran is alliance though

dense cradle

i forgot people still cared about factions

df and onward

lusty grotto

Bar none, the best horde race for prot is vulpera, there's nothing else

But also, why are people even playing horde anymore

compact obsidian

This is mmochamp's doing

yes they are still up to date

also last stand is garbage

it was always bad outside of vanilla/tbc

its a relic of the past

as you should

Gally was a hard wall for my guild

Today I swapped to battle stance after long while

You should just treat defensive stance as a defensive and sit in battle stance majority of the time

thats how we did it in DF

thats no longer the case

heroic gally was your wall

I mean if you aren't dying why sit in defensive

and youre thinking about parsing?

lean tangle
#

Brother i was orange parsing on every boss but Gally. And even on Gally i purpled

Once they hit about 8 they get real sassy and logical, you gotta watch yourself because they twist your words against you those little devils

so something doesnt add up
