Prob dumb do to anything lower than champ I suppose
Or even hero if I start doing higher keys sooner
ideally you'll want 6+
Ok
of course the most efficient are 10's
but 10's week one might not be achievable by a significant amount of the community
Ya I’m sort of taking it easy this season anyway myself
no rush season is long
I usually get aotc first week pugging etc. I usually rush
no reason to rush
i always get my wow friends annoyed when I say season is long guys there is no rush
so yes cap was blocked on runed and gilded last reset like in the last 2 seasons
it's disgusting how strong brand of ceaseless ire is
even on normal
hey guys what build we using with old tier
colossus
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/overview-pve-tank
https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/protection-warrior-pve-tank-guide
ty
2P2P or 4P of new tier?
4pc
sorry, 4P of old tier
Even with large ilevel upgrades?
yes, you can sim if you want the numbers
even going from s2 myth to s3 myth is not enough to break old 4p
so you have to go 4p to 4p
What's a maciucarus?
it's a play of homo sapiens
mmmmm....sim is telling me that my old tier's ilvl is so dogwater, it's better to just equip some higher ilvl stuff, even with no tier bonus.
combined with my avatar it makes more sense
what ilvl are we talking about
if the sim is telling you that, then follow the sim
keep in mind that with s3 tier you will need more haste rating to run ITF
652 helm and 658 shoulders vs 684 helm and shoulders
19k at a bare minimum, if you dont have that you will play heavy rep
then follow the sim
Man. On the one hand, it's nice to have all this gear I'm getting be actual upgrades.
But on the other hand, it just makes me realize how cooked my gear was in general
oh well
Leave some haste for rest of us please , have mercy
Oh it's not that high lul. Alchemical Chaos must've been on haste
the more accurate number
good good
Checked the guide but doesn't say. Are we breaking 4p for 2p/2p?
Brilliant. Thank you
Hero track shoulders or hero track mast/vers shield?
If we should be waiting for 4pc, I’m feeling shield?
The biggest question right now, do i just send a shield craft or do i wait for vault
Oh, cool
I got a two handed weapon drop in my delve.
As prot.
I even checked my loot spec, why did I get a two handed mace as prot
tier shoulders
cause you should be crafting a shield
yeah - tier is gonna be the biggest upgrade you can get, i'd grab every piece you can
then down the road, you can slowly upgrade with catalyzed myth pieces
hero shield is completely replaceable by crafted
streets feel hard to time
It's probably the hardest, imo. Timer is tight and its better if people know what's going on.
which build is the play without any tier set?
No season 2 tier, either?
yeah, sadly no tier set at all
I would say mountain thane, since you'll eventually want to play that with 4pc. Although, either works right now.
Hey quick question, my alt prot has full 650ish s2 tier, got a few champ track drops at 681, are the stats worth it to replace and break the 2 n 4 set?
We were just hanging out in a +2 streets and three of my buddies had never done it before. No real mistakes or wipes or anything just a chill run and as we were running to the last boss we noticed all of a sudden we had less than 6 minutes left lol
Is the Spell Reflect WA updated w/ audio ques?
i was using moutain thane for gearing my warrior (m0) i will keep it then, thanks
is it best to craft a shield week 1 if your guild isnt planning on doing mythic week 1? or wait for vault? 
is it worth it to choose a set piece from the vault to complete the 2p? i currently only have a 2p from last raid, but that would also replace it
I crafted a shield today. And I don't even raid. But, to answer your question it's up to you. It's probably your biggest immediate upgrade, but not necessary if you just want to spam m+ and do heroic raid for gear and wait to see what you get from vault next week.
It is the best upfront upgrade, but if you feel you can delay it for the value roll... I see no reason why not.
Just makes this week unnecessarily harder, if you do content
New tier is great. Now, if you got two options in vault you feel are equally good - you can wait with picking a reward till after you done the normal/HC raid. Then grab tier if you didn't get it from the raid 
Yeah my sims told me to break my 4pc from s2 with a hero track tier piece from s3. All my s2 stuff was 658ilvl
Sorry if this is asked or dumb, but is there anywhere to check what loot spec loot what delve trinkets?
the rest is pretty bad tbh, maybe ill just go for the 2p then
If this is for vault opening u should go arms lootspec it lowers the loot pool increasing tier chance
Otherwise u can see on droptimizer
Enjoy, it's the first week pre season vault, so any non tier is likely replaced quickly either way
What are you guys doing for crafted gear?
Weapon.
Likely only using the free hc crest from dimensus this week
But I will get mythic weapon + shield in raid surely
I was thinking shield and bracers
My bad I thought it was #fury
But yeah for prot it is shield then weapon
(If you don’t loot a weapon)
What if you get lucky and loot a main hand and get a shield from the vault?
Ahh gotcha, shield and weapon. I know as soon as I craft weapon ill prob get a weapon drop haha
Don’t craft at all then 🤷♂️ bc what if you don’t loot one for the next month
Fair
You will have plenty of sparks to remake your gear when it will be more complete
Very true! I always get sus about crafting but forget how many we actually get
Every 2 weeks you will get 1 craft
So, you can have a shield now, next week, you open your vault, weapon = take = skip crafting the weapon ofc
so i got the tome trinket, are we using it for the armor and absorbn
Thank you for the advice Happy!
Im not playing prot in raid this tier, but in S2 it was only used for the sword mode
It was a big dps trinket, you can find a weakaura to tell you when you need to press it
oh yeah, when do we want to drop season two 4p?
Yes you want most likely 4p -> 4p, unless ilvl
And if your haste is too low you don’t want to break the set
Like above 18k is a minimum, because under you might need to switch the talent Into the Fray -> Heavy repercussion to be able to maintain shield block
(Which will be a heavier damage loss)
feelsgoodman
plus if i win any gear in raid
ok cool yep just got the WA, i didnt understand how it works but now i do lol
If you want a sum up on what it does
oh cool it's only 60 to craft an item now
bout to do the same 💪
I wish we could name our crafts
Happyslayer's Bastion of Ultimate Fuckery
Held in off-hand
How does the delver journey work if you do delves on multiple toons? Can you earn more if you do multiple?
you can only get credit from the weekly on one char, but you should be getting journey prog on every alt you're doing bountifuls with
although, i'm not 100% if they've put caps in to how much progress you can make each week
Heyo, what to craft this week ? im not M raiding and have Hero track shield
yea
shield
gilded shield
otherwise hold until you got 60 gilded crests for it
should we switch to 2 piece once we get it or use 4 piece from s2?
nah all mythic
yeah 4pc for 4pc
ty
what about 655 s2 tier
no, as shadow
we're in the prot channel
what do you think i mean
and of course it works
all our recommendations are simmed
our secondaries give both offensive and defensive value, so sims give you a good idea for both
the same applies to any tank
I have no idea why I thought running sims as prot gave errors
except for shields (which should be ilvl > all) and the only 2 worthwhile defensive trinkets in the season (mud and cheat)
but thanks
yeah kyveza achieve got removed even though killed it properly after, was instantly re-awared it on login tho cos i killed on diff char
good one blizz
chest again
Well Dimensius was cool
wich one guys??? for raid and wich for m+
2p+1 catalyst, just need to hit 2k tomorrow and Ill be bing chillin
read nickname
😂
i know all other is stupid. i have to raid 1st cause there a 2 set pieces
yeah thats a good idea
i was meaning more the other guy
linking the trinkets
neither of those are good
plus you wouldnt go for them even if they were
2/8 done with heroic, likely to only get 1 more done with my guild this week.
I rolled this weapon..... should I just go craft a shield at this point? 🤔
time for 4 set boissssss
Usually better to craft shield over weapon anyway
So it's all working out for you
dope, thanks might just send it. didn't know how long people were holding off
I'm pretty slow so if I haven't seen one by the time I've got the gilded crests, I'm recrafting
Didn’t see any tier drop from raid today 🙁 hopefully heroic has better luck
well
is MT still the best hero talent?
For crafting, is there any reason to not spend all 90 gilded for the max ilvl craft?
or is there some min-max thing to only use 60 and hold onto the 30
This shield even any good?
can someone explain this to me, why do jewelries have priority for crafting because they lack strength and armor?
You dont lose as much stats as for other pieces
that is the priority when you've finished gearing up
go shield first
then weapon, if you dont get any myth versions, which will replace both
and then do those
We only raid 2 hours. Ended up going 6/8 and not touching the last two bosses
Great visuals in the raid
we did 5/8 in almost 2 hours, had lots of fun and prot tanking feels good on raid so far, did +4 and it was also good
we did a full normal clear split
and 1st one from heroic
gotta do next split tomorrow
sadly i got no loot on the raid lol
How much dmg los is 2p 2p ?
sim and see for yourself
Is this trinket good ? https://www.wowhead.com/item=246944/mind-fracturing-odium
This green trinket of item level 610 goes in the "Trinket" slot. It is looted from Nexus-Princess Ky'veza. In the Trinkets category. Always up to date.
see for yourself https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/bis-gear
Would you recommend crafting gilded wep or shield this week, for a tank raid focus
scroll up
why is this game so fucking bad icant
yeah apparently cloaks werent removed from ulduar's chest
Did a 7 AK this evening before everyone went to bed. Some of the homies are still kinda under geared so the bosses each took a year lol
Was concerned we might not time it but the good guys won. Keys free as heck except Streets
gz
Finished normal 8/8 heroic tomorrow then mythic Thursday
I have 0pc
you didnt get a piece from the vault?
Nope
oof
Not in vault and warrior tokens didn’t drop at all in raid
I got a couple pieces I can catalyze but don’t see a point yet until I can make 4pc
yeah thats the right call
Thats what I did catalyst 691 shoulders for 4 pc
Hows your bear doin?
Managed 6 heroic bosses in our 3 hours
Some of these fights gonna be scary on mythic to heal
The demon hunter boss was wild
Not bad for the first day huh
not bad at all
Need to see what some folks' Halls routes look like. That dungeon feels so wrong to me now
Though the one big pull after the first boss I did split bc I got spooked lol
Timed Eco, Prio, and Gambit on +10 and completed Halls on +10
We’re pushing tomorrow and aiming for all 12s
Don’t think we’re gonna get there but we’re gonna try
Nice!
I don't have anyone to push with unfortunately. Just been pugging with a friend all day
Beats doing it solo though even if it's just one more person
Solid first day, you coulda thrown that last 2 for 2k lol
Don't judge me
I have not done much in the way of Dawnbreaker or Ara because I was not really around for S1
So I have no idea what I'm doing in there
The only dungeon I struggled with healing was last boss of eco dome bc no one did the mech
4m hps kmn
oof
I was surprised everything seemed quite easy compared to last season
i did like this for cd management and everyone was mega fine with this
thanks, that helps a lot
Last season trying to heal 10-12s day one felt way harder than this season
I think bc turbo boost
we lusted 1,9 and 15
Felt harder to me anyway
but again i didnt heal
i have the feeling that i take the same dmg like last season.... (running sam gear on smae key lvl)
I only went up to 10 on war today and at no point did I ever feel in danger whatsoever
How are you doing miniboss?
I feel like that room is way worse than it was in SL
and the underpin behind himn
Which mini boss
the one before last boss i guess
i tend to los him to left in next room and let the adds come
Played him where he is and thunder clap/roar mobs
Lust und last boss is scam so we lust this shit mob
So you are not clearing adds as priority? You just pick up the aggro ones as they spawn?
and focus miniboss otherwise
I've been trying to do it like we did in Shadowlands but there seems to be way more of the aggro ones than before
Have your group stand in the podium
You tank at bottom
All the adds have to funnel past you
And the group can spread w their circles
That’s how we did it and it was simple
Good to know, thanks
Also fwiw his wicked bolt reflects back very hard so you can gib him if you catch the right one
14-20m
Depending on key level
Just funnel the boss thats right
Depending on your single target it may be faster to aoe down the adds then do boss
If your single target is good just melt the miniboss
Took the kiddo out to look at the meteors
No meteors
She was nonplussed
Now it’s sleep time
So do you get count for the 3 mobs in front of 1st boss? I see MDT has count on them but doesn't the boss kill them?
If you get to them fast enough
You can kill tgem
If you’re in combat when the boss hits 100 tho I think they all respawn
That’s how the ptr worked
my dh desperately needs a neck and it has weathered achieve
dammit I knew I was forgetting something today
On a scale from 1 to 10, how lucky am I?
sure but its a hero piece
this is what real luck looks like
yeah its a good roll for sure
Hope y'all getting good vaults too
I cry
Hey all 🙂 do you recommend going into raid today to use our previous 4 piece set from LOU or should I use my new 2 set from mana forge?
s2 4pc with s3 4pc
ok thank you i picked you up wrong there
clear cache
im able to equip s2 2 piece and s3 2 piece as their different slots
so i have both buffs
we dont 2pc 2pc
from 1st set bonus
again
you replace your existing 4pc from season 2
with ONLY 4pc from season 3
you cannot combo them, you will lose a lot
bro i get that 😂
I can combo them is all im saying, but ill just stick with s2 4 piece
ok
Might be a stupid question, but how do I do that?
ctrl + f5
OK THANK YOU
Guys should I combo my tier pieces?
Yes do it
Guys anyone know if i can take a chest tier piece out of vault ?
you guys think its worth farming taza for the bis items (shield and sword too)
or would you insta build shield? las season 1st myth in vault was a shield
u never craft season 1
so wait week 2?
you can wait until next week if you will have myth items available
so farming hero track shield is worth
frens, mud + tome + hero head tier piece in da vault!
sure but you will replace it very quickly
read nickname
yes but its the best item to get higher
why would u take trinkets that have a farmable ilvl?
yes yes tier > all!
just need a bit luck in lfr/normal/hero...... only 1 piece i need
not if you have a craft line dup
thats just a waste of runed
What ilvl are people clearing their +10s at?
some streamer played ther key to 10 and farmed tehm insta after 2h
we have plenty of people here that did all their 10s already
no need to look at streamers
Never played start of season before, always pop-in for a season in the middle of it or towards the end of it - hence the question. I suppose I will play my key and hope for good PUGs.
yeah dont be afraid to push as far as you can
and try to make some friends along the way! so you can play with friends!
I just tanked my first key, press W
Somehow got 100% right at the last mob of the new dungeon
well till 10+ there is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much time that you even could do 120% XD
Imagine key lvl is warband same as delves
sure. so that every idiot jumps in on 10 with his alt that are not even able to play 6+ XD
toxic as fuck if people expect to be boosted XD
its just 1 time you play your keys up
I know i know
or run hardmode taza so you get a 10
Can you run it 8x? 😄
it gives a 2
yes?
ye
only if you do dethless?
Credit to vault as +10 but you get key 2
well then you have in week 2 a 10+ from vault 
Ez
The timer on streets is crazy tight. I don't remember it being that way in shadowlands though 🤔 literally have the cleanest run everyone is blasting you feel like you are going to 2-3 chest and suddenly you are out of time 😅
Question for new prot warrior, do yall have the toggle stance on bars for raids?
Just switch offense when off boss and defensive when on boss?
theres 0 reason to change stance
thats cause of mob hp. they have compared sooooo much life that it is realy crazy
can tier set dropp in timewalk chests?
no
sad
getting a shield in my first 5 dungeons of the season feels good
Tazavesh M0, is that what they advertised as "the new hard mode" ? Or just free 694 as the dungeon journal implies ?
just jump in and activate the hard mode 😄
Can I "not activate it" and do a regular M0 ?
yes
I don't see how. It seems I'm forced to talk to Aldalil and activate it to even strat the dungeon
not gunna lie the hyperdrive mount is fucking 
would you take it or wait to try and snipe it on Hero?
i wouldnt take trinkets that are farmable at all
thought as much
the two hero rings in the 2nd row are pretty neat
ngl
Crit haste
noice
I dont have any M ivl tier from S2 what ivl Do i change them now for non tier gear🤔
Is it normal for my shield to be breaking in dungeons WAY faster than anyother gear? I repaired before a 10 dawn, and died 1x in the dawn and my shield went red. I know for a fact i had repaired before going in but im wondering what is causing the duribility difference between shield/armor
they're making me tank 
Yeah man blizzard why does pressing execute on prot feel 3 times better than it does on arms 
Well fuck me.
dont complain i got a cloak
Hey, just to be sure, do we change tier set when we get 2p + 2p, or do we wait for the new 4p ?
Fuck me as in: "Damn luck."
Crit/Haste chest? Yes please!
4pc
Do we catalyst only on myth pieces, or should we cata hero pieces in the meanwhile?
I know, it is stupid.
Oh okay, good to know, thanks
nvm got a cloak on next char too...
anyone else getting like 7-8% dmg increase on 2p/2p?
Here. But everyone says dont do it. Idk XD
7-8% in what scenario? You doing damage or you simming. Single Target/AOE
st, sims
Link sim
Youre playing mountain thane thats why
even with 27k haste? 😛
had a few questions
i need help with macro for charge mouse over i tried the one in the server and wow head and doesnt work
and what is prot warrior DR
the macro is for intervene mouseover
not charge mouseover
also trinket bis list is adjusted for the 3 different last minute trinket hotfixes ...
cuz its too hard to push them during the actual testing cycle..
this makes more sense LMAO
doesnt this mean we wont have full uptime in s3? losing that tier bonus without gaining anything else to gain more sb?
not really an issue right now if you're decently geared (684ish)
Very unlucky with the keys as we got basically the same multiple times while getting them up
I have tier in my vault what do I do guys
Someone think for me
Should I sim it 50 times just to make sure???
of course
Excellent
I have 4pcs of tier in my vault
Take them all 
All different slots
Hero Chest and Helm
Champion Gloves and Shoulders
so u take a hero piece
This is very upsetting, I got excited when I had tier in my vault
Now to hold lots of decent gear for ages until I can finally get 4set
Hmm
I only started the prot warrior life less than a month ago and I played MT anyway as it was said to be "safer"
I didn't trust myself not to demolish in awkward situations and get myself killed
Then you can go for 2P 2P
The "keep your 4P" thing is mostly assuming you play Colossus with the S2 4P
Ah okay, that's nice to know
Not too bothered about max possible output, my skill level is more of a limiting factor than simmed potential
Would rather sort that out first tbh!
got shoulders at least
i dont see in faq, are we crafting something with first spark or holding
oh i get it now
isnt it /disband ?
I realise this is a bit off topic, but I reckon you mob would have a fair bit of understanding on both sides:
Whats soloing as a dps like trying to do m+ pugs, compared with tanking them? I enjoy the easy access to groups but I'm a bit over tanking all the time and wanna pump big numbers
(note, probably as a pretty meta dps, not warrior sadly)
it's better to piss in the sink than to sink in the piss
people who are against sink pissing aint worth shit
Y'all breaking 4p for 2p or sticking?
guys is prot good this patch
if dps is as bad as im hearing was thi nking of trying prot
go to youtube and be absolutely assaulted by content creators making tierlists
I miss indomitable 
the use it
I will just yell at the healer like a man
I know its not as good, but fuelled by violence feels really nice for trickle healing on colossus

Is 2p / 2p fine as Thane?
Isnt soulbreaker sigil a super strong trimket?
50 ilvl on 2 pieces or old 2pc? dont have old 4pc at all
from what i can see our bis trinkets are from m+ so easy to farm but i'm not sure about soulbreaker's sigil
why not the shield? most important as prot
trinkeds are farmable and having a shield on hero will help you much more
yes you're right that's what I'll do. I just wanted a tier piece 🙁
feel bad for you. would giv you 1 cause i got 2 XD
i got on 4 out of 5 chars hero set XD
:(((
What’s our first gilded craft?
Looks like easy access to mythic wep and shield first couple bosses. Worth sending it on wep or just do the suggested off pieces
u just wait
heyooo do we use old tierset or higher ilvl ?
i like how this is the only question thats being asked here
Only a matter of time the community realizes prot warr is not actually meta. This happens every season
Old 4pc until new
Is the main thing our dmg, so if that isn't what people want we're out?
It’s all fake news
classic
been happening since I started playing again in df
It’s all a psy op to divert attention away from actual meta specs to utilize a bit later when the keys actually require more utility
and then it's ppal or vdh
these dungeons feel so easy
Well yeah wait until they hurt
Won’t see a prot warr to save your life
Trust
It’s all according to the play book
Did they change something with key reroling at end of dung or is it just bugged ?
I hate streets
he says running +2s
is it feasible to get 60 crests for a shield this week? I won't be raiding mythic, and i'm guessing i'm not gonna be pushing 10s week one
ive got 21 from delves, and i will get 15 from the keystone. Did visions drop some also?
+7 keys
oh shit is that all!?
thanks, it is doable then 🙂
extra question, do we have a trinket that can rival tome this season? its gonna suck hard if im stuck using same ones as last season
I've done 9 10s bunch of 7-9s and only failed one dungeon
The tuning is definitely pretty easy
Do you guys think there is anything at all to gather (in terms of meta) from the current tank leaderboards on raider.io? Lots of pallys and brews on the front page. Obviously it's incredibly early and is probably also influenced by what people are playing for raid.
no
hmm which build is the go to with MT, the one in here differs some from what i thought was the best with the massive execute slams
Ngl streets feels like kinda overtuned compared the rest ( havent done eco yet)
what are people crafting rn, got my gilded and thinking a shield
Probably shield is strongest craft but im personaly gona wait till next vault with crafts
im not raiding so wont be getting the shield from there
Same but still 3 chances in vault for shield aint nothing
theres no real crit/haste shield in m+
So, WoWhead says go Colossus for raid until you get new tier, but top parses seem to be majority MT
Yeah I feel like I'm missing something. Just simmed with season 2 tier, and it says it's a 0.7% dps loss to go MT. People in here were making it out to be a HUGE damage difference. Are the sims wrong or something?
And just saw warcraft logs. Like 60% of all top parses on Normal and Heroic are MT. What am I not understanding here, gamers?
Until new 4 set, right?
Brothers it's normal/hc, play whatever you want.
for m+ is everyone using whirling blades or sudden death
I might end up crafting a shield this week as well but fwiw ilvl > all so you'll still take a myth track max level shield over a crafted shield
ive looted a 697 void pactstone, is that better then a 684 mud from last season?
any rough idea on how much ilvl increase is better then embelishment? i will sim but just direcitonally curious
They do completely different things
You don't use a new spark every recraft right? I know it' s adumb question, just can't remember
You need a new spark to go from s2 to s3
yo guys should i play colosus when i have s2 set or should i switch to thane?
I've dropped a hero weapon, should I upgrade it 710 and do a 720 shield or 720 bracers ?
I've looted sorry
If you don’t raid mythic, getting a shield crafted with gilded is going to be a big uppie for you
Shield first. Then weapon
Ok
Specifically for prot
Is 2+2 set worth? Or have to wait 4?
Pretty sure it's wait until you have new 4pc
Damn
The best option is S2 4P Colossus then S3 4P Thane
But if you wanna play Thane right now then you are fine going for 2+2
REALLY? Oh boyyy
How much dps is 2 piece thane?
Not much tbh but the S2 4P for Thane isn't that big of a loss, much more impactful for Colossus
The fact that you can go 2+2 is more because of that than because of the S3 2P being great
Guess it would also depend on how much ilvl you are gaining on those 2 pieces
Yeah I'll worry about min max when it's mythic prog. Right now, I'll take a 7% dps loss on aoe to play MT now. I just prefer it over colossus
Everything is playable 🙂
Playable, but not everything is balanced like that. For instance, if you wanted to play Elune's Chosen for Guardian Druid in raid, you're catching a 20-25% damage loss. If it was like that for warrior, I couldn't justify that to myself
People were making it seem like it was that big of a damage loss for warrior too, between colossus and MT
I will not talk about balance when our 4p is 40% dps
it is
Ok now I'm confused. People in here are saying 2 different things
its just that that gap is shorter due to the introduction of aoe execute
people in here might not know what they are talking about
thane is playable
and also you dont go 2p 2p
its either 4pc or 4pc
Ok so In aoe, we're talking a 20-25% gap, but in single target they're close?
no, colossus is still ahead on both without 4pc
it was around a 19% loss before the talent rework
we just couldnt be bothered to sim for the talent changes, given that we'll swap to thane at 4pc anyway
Yes, but by how much is the point we're discussing. I simmed myself, and it's like 0.7% loss on single target, and up to a 7% loss in pure aoe
Then do what you want, it's old gear that won't matter in a few days.
right
Gotcha. So long story short, wait until 4pc to swap
the window in we'll be at s2 4pc is so short
its just what a couple of weeks at worst?
3 weeks, 4 with bad luck
I simmed col/thane yesterday on my char it was 5% loss in AoE, so I’m doing my keys as thane
Bc I like it, but damn you get so much rage
no one in the entire universe except for you would ever know or care
so do what you think is more fun
rude
how is that rude lol
???
Still worth syincing Avatar and Demo Shout every time as MT right? Not just a colossus thing?
Both on CD, unless you need demo shout to not die to something.
cause you play TL
you only sync if they are close by a couple of seconds
Played warrior as an alt until this tier
How do i prioritize execute phase in thane during avatar? I literally never have GCD to use execute
pathing last stand to tl makes my brain itch
just swap the positions blizzard please there's like 5 other talents I'd rather have than ls
you just replace TC prio
TB > SS > Execute
if your next SS is gonna cap you, send an execute
you play it like colossus
which is why
its actually helpful to play colossus
for once instead of the playstyle that we've played for 4 straight expansions
I want fervid back
banner
I can't believe they reworked the prot tree and didn't put a fervid talent in there.
banner, safeguard, reflecting plating
fellow prots
The thing I'll miss most about colossuss if def Mountain of Muscles and Scars
5% size is bis
collosal tank with 2x 2pieces is good idea?
what should i craft, a shield?
no (on the 2pc 2pc question)
Hopefully midnight adds another talent row and they put fervid in our giga capstone.
s2 4pc gets replaced only with s3 4pc
no
yes
kk thanks
For me it is this
directly with big crest, right?
With gildeds ideally, yes
yes with gilded
Honestly so real. The giga shockwave on short cd is goated
I got a hero shield out of my first 7 but im sending that juicy shield craft
Im a partisan of switching rumbling earth and earthquaker talents
is it a good idea to craft something already, or is it better to wait for mythic piece from tazavesh
you can craft
Just craft something
It'll be easier to not fuck up a hardmode tazavesh with better gear
you will replace gilded crafted with myth track anyway but
what pash said, and its also rng until you can kill the 2nd boss
but niiiiiim whats the point in crafting then??!?!
(dont hurt me)
am i stupid if im for real asking this xD
nah im just being a dick lol
In the early season its best to get as much power out of your crests as you can
You're not spending gildeds on anything else right now, and crafting a shield for those 50 ilvls will do a lot for survivability
I still have 0pc! It’s been a whole day!
and drops arent certain
Eventually you'll be full mythed out but you can get lucky and get a myth shield in your first vault or be like nim and never see a tome drop ever
hello all ! wondering if there is already an obvious choice with trinkets ?
The rat has changed his name to help those that were fortunate to receive any tier in their vault.
I, on the other hand, didn’t receive any good options
But if you wait week over week because "maybe ill get a shield" you're gimping yourself for no reason
no tier?
no, veteran chest is my third delve
i see
Both trinkets are kinda dog
and here i thought i could hit jackpot day one ! 😄
yeah most delve trinkets fall behind farmable hero tracks
How do yall do damage as thane?? People always say my damage is ass especially in higher keys
Am I feeding my friends bad advice by telling them never to catalyze champ track since hero track is farmable
welp, thank you
hmmm what to choose
tier
you play colossus until 4pc, that's how you improve your damage, otherwise we'd need to see logs
Must be nice
do you have 4pc from the new season?
read nickname
id say probably legs though
always remember helm, chest and legs have the biggest stat pools
not that it matters since you wont use it until you get 4pc
ye choose the legs had a extra speed stat too
It’ll start with colossus and go for them.
But I don’t think I have issues fundamentally. When in tanking I dint think. I just put up SB, IP, and zug zug until either falls off
There
ip at 70 rage
prio outburst on slam (unless if thane where you do it on TB)
outburst management is the most common dps loss that we see here
Only at 70 rage? Do you stack it to 100?
Also, I’m seeing a lot of talk about whirling blades over ravager in that the play now?
IP's status doesnt matter, its a rage dump
you just send it at 70+ rage
yes we only play whirling
check our builds in wowhead/icyveins
Did y’all see the macro to wrap your reshii from anywhere
Just wrapping it up on the go now, super helpful
just burrito yourself
Ravager is 8s of uptime per minute.
Whirling is 20s of uptime per minute.
Whirling is 120 more rage per minute.
The damage of ravager was always negligible, losing control of when it is cast is functionally unimportant, it's just more rage, even if it is not always rng'd into optimal times.
Hey guys question
Is it me or …
HoA is either overtuned
Or Eco needs to be made harder
Haven’t encountered anything yet that seemed overtuned
I can tell you Streets is definitely the tightest timer in my experience
You kinda need to skip last mini boss too or it's way harder
Also, he is horrible to play against
Tbf idk how most people are routing it rn
I did the route I remembered from SL
Bridge mini boss to menagerie boss through corehounds and animals
Fought miniboss guarding the last boss before mail room
Then mail > trade district > last boss
Question: is the ring from dimensius that shields cosmic damage shielding all non-phys damage (since cosmic I believe is all magical types) or does it ONLY shield cosmic damage and nothing else (ie useless)
read the short text behind it
it reduces all cosmic dmg by 50% or until 6xxK+ have been absorbed
so it absorbs all magic schools
and phys
even if its not cosmic

Can someone link the ring please
when should we make the swap to MT>Colo
whenver u like
never, this season we play slayer
Ran raid last night and dropped 2 Ceaseless Ires, let's gooooo
Yo do I suck at English? I would have expected that absorb to be specific to cosmic damage not be for all damage
Same
The only keys I had issue was streets and the first boss of ara Kara smh
In 8-9s
Cosmic damage is Arcane+Holy+Nature+Shadow
Right but nome said physical too
the way i read it
Not to question Nome but are we sure? I'd love to see some testing on that because the ring really reads like it prevents up to 418554 cosmic damage
Never question God King Nome!!! 😱
P sure he doesn't care, he just wants the correct info out there
its missing a comma
reduced cosmic dmg by 50%; for 20 seconds or until X dmg prevented
@daring narwhal the mini boss is planets next to the telporter. How is skipping it possible?
Which like, eating a bit of (most) magic damage on top of your normal wrap proc is nice
its free absorb
prolly just wait for possible drops out of first raidnight, but most likely shoulders
not gamechanging but its a nice lil bonus
they buffed essence gorger a good chunk last night
in sim it came out on top yeah
ye is one of the better ones now
but id wait with picking vault for a bit
atleast until after you done heroic and normal
not wait, read nickname
no waiting nome!
4pc or bust
you aint getting 4pc if you pick shoulders immediately from vault
you can skip it with a jump on the fence next to the thing you click
not everyone has your god tier RNG
you will be 1 step closer though
also btw
idol should move to S
and sack below
on the guides
i dont have the exact numbers after the tank penalty on sack, what was the tank penalty again? i forget
Think it’s 33%
I thought 20 at first but then did a quick google search and Reddit says 33
reddit...
They wouldn’t lie to me
https://www.wowhead.com/news/blizzard-on-tank-and-healer-trinket-change-philosophy-in-the-war-within-342713 in this case they are right
so technically a 33% nerf for sack
ye which put it from S to C tier
but idol stonks to the moon
hey, im commin from arms... is there any auras to help track some procs w? like violent outburst
there are
but there's not a single one in particular thats recommended
so just browse wago
wow we're suprisingly not the highest 0-4p percentage gain
bm dark ranger 0-4p is 51.61% dps gain lmao
we're #2 at 41.73%
haha
the range is so massive spec to spec blizzard is gonna have to do a massive rebalance in next expansion jesus
some people's 4p is sub 10%, like fucks sake blizzard
Does that even make dark ranger the play?
I feel like they always play the other hero talent
Do i want to hold for full 4 set or break as soon as i have 2?
wait for 4pc
Man last stand is such a piss defensive
indeed
Like even with the 15 sec shield block and 50% rage increase its still meh; but only because of the rage increase methinks
Wait u play bolster ?
he shouldnt
Last Stand ❌
Empty keybind where it used to be ✅
It is for raids because better ST
Currently have a 658 s2 shield. I’m sure it’s been asked 100000 times but what’s one more. Is there any reason I shouldn’t craft a shield right now?
you can use the search
esp if youre sure
but no reason other than if you have a guaranteed vault shield
and/or can kill 2nd myth boss
are yall lagin in Eu as well?
yeah, huge lags right now on world boss
Will do. Appreciate the response as always. Only missing 5 Gilded then I’m going to send it. I don’t raid at all.
👍
senpai's - who is a good content prot warrior for me to get some confidence with some of the new/SL m+ routes?
any tank is fine
never played SL a day in my life
since we're not doing big pushes
hmmmm so maybe kira or yoda? kinda the only ones i know o.o
Pressing W is fine right now
lol
Truthfully I don’t recommend Yoda or Kira for beginner friendly routing
They’re skilled tanks playing with skilled gamers that will do things you shouldn’t be
well i didnt think they were beginner friendly what with how high they go, but i also know no other tanks really
why im here asking
quazii
ok got it ty ty
tactycz? idk his name
i just need something to give me SOME idea for the SL ones, bc i literally know 0 lol
eventually ill build my own routes and use the website or whatever
idk something like that i guess
close enough ty ty
Quazii has a lot of other solid content as well
Both have solid route info
Only thing thing that’ll be interesting is left vs right for priory
right now
how terrible is this
very
as terrible as SL
it happens after mit so its like less than 1% DR
ohhh a nice video on routes from quazii, ty ty 🙂
its bis for warriors learning how to read, esp if you combine it with tome
smart zugs
I ran it for a dungeon for memes I think its worse than it was in SL
I remember our ppal drooling over it the last time this dungeon was in the pool
wahhhh ppal is trash without codex wahhh
Did you mock them
They’re wearing codex you don’t need to mock them they’re already a walking meme
Btw roid
I got the squad to do the floodgate thing after swampface
Where you just pull that whole army and truck around the corner
Yes it’s the play lol
Across the bridge
Bonus points if you outdpsed them
Everyone except the healer loved it and then the healer realized I wasn’t also pulling the big shield idiot
It looks scary on mdt but I swear it’s not
And you could hear the audible sigh of relief
Plus if you play with a priest you can soothe skip the double caster pack right after
Which I feel like is a good time save bc those big guys are mega inefficient
Yep
What loot spec we running? Arms?
what to craft first as mainly m+ enjoyer?
I'm never lucky 😞
why is rallying cry on the gcd
Most group wide defensive CDs are on the GCD
I’m just sending a shield craft. Not many well statted shields in the pool as is
I’ll replace it with the Loomithar myth shield eventually
Doing the same so I can get out of Prot spec. It's so buns
Warrior
Protection
Mountain Thane: Damage dealt by Ionizing Strikes reduced by 30%.
how did they figure this one out? Did people get their sets already? lol
odd they why not do it at launch then
Takes a while to decide what to change and how
Whether they do it on launch or week 0 before M+/raid release it accomplishes the same thing, so why rush
The reason it’s funny is because they cited the first couple days of the patch being live
Which would have offered zero data about the set bonus
I mean, we're probably gonna get nerfed again.
Ah I didnt see that
We're doing like 10% more st than everyone else.
no we're not
