Taking shield means you can craft two pieces (weapon and something else)
Secondaries are irrelevant
Okay. Sounds good.
is there a reason the guides dont really recommend 1h craft? seems like it's usually shield, bracers, weak pieces. Just the expectation that you'll get a 1h drop due to less loot competition?
or for embellishment?
well u will replace 1h and a shield with myth pieces
where u wont with other crafted pieces most likely
but u can do what u want
yeah it makes sense
Hey. What would be a good 2nd craftf for warrior protection if I already craft the wrist as the first one?. My vault was trash tbh. I got a myt neck of it, I didn't receive any weapon from the vault
Do you think that I should craft a weapon with embelishment and remove the 681 feet? or what do you think could be the best option?
What do you guys use to track violent outburst
shield w/ thread would be good
if you're not likely to get a myth shield from raid
If it drops pbly I'll get the shield from soul hunters
Somebody got a weak aura to track DR from thunder blast? Or does updated luxthos track that
is it even worth tracking something like that when you just spam thunderblast
Shield or just recraft your boots
Alright lads, there's no way I don't go weapon here right?
@lusty grotto scuse me sir tell your dad john blizzard to give me a re roll button this is horseshit!
then go complain in fury 
^
im complaining to my friend nim 🙂
Is wep realy above tier ?
u far more likely to get tier pieces than a wep
and as a wep increases all the damage u do
What about sick trinkets
of course it is
read the second line i put
the increase of normal to myth tier is small
the increase of normal wep to myth wep is big
on a piece by piece basis
Is tome the only one though
I took a pacemaker but you might not be a pacemaker believer
I guess it make sense
Does tome sit higher above shield at 707 level if they are replacing equal pieces?
This guy
But that’s not the question
It isn’t pace in lieu of tome or ire. And who can say if you’d get either soon since it’s all rng
Might go with a signet ngl
Ill take wrists , u aint gona swap them for like whole season
Might have issues for embelishments later tho
eh, you just have a crafted belt or something
Like i guess belt and what ? Wrists are kinda perfect slot for that
Belt and chest maybe
u craft on bracers tho
u take ring or trinket for free crests later
Yea thats what i said like sentence later when i hit me xd
at 723 its only a .4% upgrade for me
That too
so if it was my only option i would take it from free crests
Jakey brought up great points though
other wise i would take literally anything else
Jakey with good points
or socket for later
Heyo people , new to prot war but exp on vdh, we macro shield block with any or just use on cd?
I was thinking this so I could jump into dumping gilded crests into mythic trinkets early on for some playing around later
press it on its own
but with current gear, you should have close to or 100% uptime on SB
So spam anytime i have the cd right?
literally your only options, id sim see if ither is an upgrade anyway and choose that one or take the hero tier because honestly thats not a bad shout if u dont have 4pc
its not a spamable button
you press it when activley tanking and do not have SB up
and dont hold onto two charges
nah u dont spam it anymore we actually lost uptime this season, so u need to manage it a bit
Thank u sir, also for a single target rotation what should i do?
True say. I'm still working with S2 tier. I have 2 catalysts banked till I opened vault though
take the hero piece the dps gain is insane if u get to 4pc
so before i make a mistake, is dps bran with prot warrior good?
ye
aight bet
was fun doing 5 masks horrific visions
and then learn i cant equip the 1h i bought alongside the shield, after i spent 500 valors to upgrade it
Visions are fun once in a while
Visions are fun just once
Hatarang goes brrr
it also puts cool hats on things
Me
its supposed to be
Gamescom stream on YouTube
ic
It’s live right now
got pumped for Dawn of War 4
yeah i saw dow4
I am watching
hopefully its better than 3
Ngl it’s been live almost two hours so wow should be soon in my opinion
new devs
I was afraid to have the cinematic mid pull
It’s here
WATCH NOW
cinematic now
New class or dh 3rd spec announced?
meh
is the shrieking quarts the new way to get the delver map bounty and get hero gear?
On a scale of dranflight to wod, how good was cinematic?
New dh spec confirmed
wod level goosebumps
Devourer dh
it was definitely better than some of the others
Paladin expansion
Is it really a healer
i still think shadowlands was best cinematic
It was nice video graphics etc
wowhead says its mid ranged dps
What the fork is a mid ranged dps
its a dps with less range than hunter but more than warrior I guess
max range dps is hunter and mage
Balance druid
Devoker is mid range
30yd range compared to normal 40yd range
What
They're talking about actual range yogi. Not performance
Does new dh have more range than evoker
wait am i crazy isn't the actual panel on thursday?
Don't think they specified but devoker was also called mid range on its release so stands to reason it'd be the same
Did Wowhead forgot about NDA with these news or I missed something on the gamescom livestream?
they released a trailer on yt
As darkness threatens to envelop all of Azeroth every hero must rise to defy the Void and take up arms. Get your first look at the gameplay reveal of the next chapter of the Worldsoul Saga, World of Warcraft: Midnight

so they arent breaking anything
So the new race is just elfs with fancy name huh
thanks, was still watching gamescom 
Race model is just a female troll model lazy bastardos


only 4?
Free tmogs, best expansion ever
Best dungeon to spam for 1h weapon?
What's eda
Eco Dome Alani
gz gz
Ngl midnight very underwhelming not sure what I was expecting but I dunno
Alliance get two dh races horde still one
That messed up
whelmed
Finally they can be dwarf?!
I liked the cinematic. Most of what's coming out seems agreeable
Night and void elf
I mean a lot may with the new spec I guess
I guess I still miss the old days where expansions had new cool big system. I know majority hated that but still miss it myself
Makes everything feel like it’s missing something
If essences and corruptions were warbound ppl would like it
my life as of late, just making videos
do you not count housing as a new, cool, big system?
i do
That’s another thing that I was worried about is they would make housing the key system
I and many don’t really care for housing personally
Yeah I’m in the minority where I miss systems even from the past that everyone hated
Housing imo not useful and big time sink but I get lots of ppl want it for some reason idk
a majority of ppl are gunna do housing, there being housing takes nothing away from m+ or raid its still going to be there
its pointless them making another pve systme no one is gunna touch because m+ and raid is a thing
do u delve?
no
What do you mean by system, though? Like the legion weapons?
Yah true
I dwelved week 1 and 2 there's some starter gear there
that less than half the ppl will want to touch
I mean delve is literally designed for casuals so that's not surprising
housing will be the biggest addition to the game since m+
mark my words
Just feels all so damn formulaic every expansion but I guess that’s what the people want
Zero risk in anything
for the simple reason that casuals dwarf competitive players in numbers
Quelthalas and zullaman
What does that mean
"Zero risk"
What risk are you wanting taken
Why does there need to be a risk
lol
They need to add warbound corruptions and essences
Seems fine to me
I think apb's problem is more that it's just same same
your saying this yet u havent given any thing for bliz to change or make, your just complaining for the sake of complaining the parts of the game u like are still there and going and getting attention
supposedly they are finally fixing blood elf city
Not having a suggestion of what to do instead doesn't mean he's just complaining for the sake of it
Hmmm I guess I just have too high of a standard
nah it's alright to be whelmed
They should make a "make your own dungeon" workshop and the most voted one gets included in a m+ season. Overwatch has the workshop so something like that
well hes very admant on it, you would expect he would have an idea of what he would want/expect to his standard
im still a bit mad and shocked we got housing and no lumibering skill lol
Midnight was supposed to be yuge right? and we get.. 4 zones and housing holy
just going oh i expected better, but i dont know what that is, is just dumb and cutting your noise off dispite your face
Also dwarfs should be allowed to be dh
Also make aug a tank spec and make buff dragon race
dark iron dh when
Also delete target cap
Cinematic had potential for stakes. Really needed to see a main character get murdered
Also revert change that makes casters spam casts
But no everyone would freak out
I'd personally want:
world reboot (à la cata but I know that's unpopular)
M+ rework or endgame non-timed dungeons (like mythic raid difficult but for 5 mans)
Professions rework, make gathering and crafting an alternative endgame rather than the slop it is now
Housing is nice for the people who care but not expansion defining imo
but that's just cause idc about it
Also make m+ specific gear and track so ppl aren't forced to do raid to get gear for m+
you dont need to raid to play m+ all the way to title range
that's such a manufactured problem
Did you actually expect that they will reveal everything tonight? It was just cinematic
Yea but if you don't raid ur always behind those that do raid and vice versa
You know how pvp gets it's own set of gearing? Do that for m×+
We just recently got a prof rework and m+ also just got redone
There's absolutely zero shot that housing is not expansion defining. It has been begged for, for years
It's 1000% huge
If no 4 set from last season from skipping last season is MThane still better with 2 set ?
How did it get redone if all the best gear is still locked behind boring ass raid
I have a chance to get a hero tier chest, Heroic shield or a Ara-Kara Sac hero from my vault. little stunned on which one i should grab. Any suggestions. I only have 1 other tier piece right now
make M+ cosmetic rewards only like mounts and stuff
I just feel like housing gona end up similar to phasing , something new thats totaly meh
your talking to ppl that only like to 5 man tho, its not appealing to them
ig
from all the reports its not meh at all
it's insane to me that people don't understand that housing is the biggest feature in wow since m+ but that just shows how disconnected the competitive players are from the rest of the community
Invite 4 friends to your house
Not gonna lie housing is just a feature for casuals imo
they have a cap of 100s of players from what ive heard not 4
Tbf i havent realy followed that topic at all so im kinda excited but also prepared to be dissapointed
It might be endgame for someone 🙂
Until they add house buffs to your warband and have to engage with it
Ppl play this game for many reasons
I was being sarcastic about the people I'm talking to only liking 5 man content
Those aren't reworks, they're tweaks
Nothing got reworked, the gameplay loops are fundamentally the same
from what we've seen until now it's significantly better than ff14 housing and it's shaping to be one of the best housing systems in m+ if not the best
they arent doing that. theyve had ideas given too them like let ppl herb in the garden etc, which they shot down because of garrisons form what i know
The professions system was literally entirely redone
no, it wasn't
huh
u can as usual ppl engage with the system as much as u like or dont want too at all
Was in df
The professions system is entirely different as of DF
Housing = garrisons that will be deleted in 13.0 that's my guesstimate
just like the 1 button rotation, its not going to effect your game at all
adding crafting orders and some skill trees isn't a rework of the design of the whole system
delusional have you ever seen the system?
it still fundamentally works the same as it has since vanilla
execpt is completely different to garrisons, because u can place what u want where u want, and its not tied to power at all
But you have specific equipment that you put on, the work orders significantly changes it, talent systems for it
1 button rotation affected my gameplay... I had to stop dps in raid to not pull off cotank
If it's not tied to power then what's the point?
he wants profs from other games where they are more like minigames
It's almost unrecognizable from vanilla crafting
fun
Havent played ff so .. but does it somehow impact gameplay also ? Or is there gold to be made in like garison or something ? Guess i should google a bit about it xd
its a videa game you are allowed to have fun
Imagine, game for fun 🙂
this is a prime example of someone completely disconnected from the majority of the community
Having a house is fun? I have a real house and it's just a bunch of maintanence
probably from the housing items made with old school professions
Mow the lawn, do repairs, fix the toilet, pay someone to fix the ac. Super fun
and no competitive gameplay impact
Pay mortgage
I don't want power from housing but convenience (like osrs housing) would be nice
ig osrs housing gives a bit of power tbf with regen pools
but ya get my point, it's mainly just major qol
housing should not have any power attached to it
convenience yes as long as it is not gamebreaking
Everyone is just going to be phased in their own little house?
way too convenient
it's a social feature and an rp feature
We know shit about housing yet..and we doing closures?
is weapon or shield better in vault? got myth one hander and myth shield
you'll have neighbourhoods
Lucker 😄 shield > weap
Can you buy multiple properties and then charge ppl rent and then evict them? Now that sounds fun
communities with like 50 houses
You were paying 1500 gold a month? Syke now it is 150k gold a month
do secondaries matter? its crit/haste wep or crit/mastery shield
gotcha
Arms rework confirmed 😄
I crafted a shield first spark, I don't push high content or anything just 10s for now really. Fair to just craft a weapon this week? Or is there better tech
word, figured as much. Appreciate it 😄
does dungeon slice work well for prot warrior sims? trying to figure out my best trinket for m+
Shield is better then weapon to craft isn't it?
ty
shield>wep
its ire from raid
nope
Wow 4pc damage is insane
you could go my route and see your house burn down
lmao
Is the change to the count for the streets mini boss before last boss in MDT?
pls help me choose?
Ngl thats kinda sad vault
myth hands aint bad
Have any myrhix items in ur vault,
Show show , im expecting mine to be quite a shiet knowing my luck
Myth hands
Damn, can skip PSF now
Anyways happy vault day
If u dont have tier and u got tier piece in there take that instead tbh
Dps gain is bigger and trinket farmable
The rest was just garbage, sadly
so if we crafted a shield last week, how do we determine what to craft this week?
Wepon if u dont mythic raid or dont have it in vault
ty
boomie
Got crafted shield last week, should I take the shield anyways?
Well, thats a shit comp for kicks on top of no one knowing where their keybind is.
4p and a mythic weapon, blessed day... Had to turn down a mythic pacemaker for it tho 🙁
when should we break tier 2 or 4?
yeah but every single time it was an issue there was 2+ kicks up
found the bis tank ring
4
nah when sims say to
Listen to this man. He's wiser than I
the only thing you need to know about breaking it
is that you need to have 20k min haste for ITF
otherwise you go heavy rep
cause s2 4pc is big on SB uptime due to SC resets
however, sim
if raidbots suggests going 2pc 2pc, then do what i said above
new to tanking I didn't think you could sim as a tank. Shows "unsupported style" or something another
no, we sim
should I take a 1h weapon or an armor piece from the vault, both a substantial ilvl upgrade
thank ya!
the only thing you dont sim as a tank are defensive upgrades like shield (should be ilvl > all) and defensive trinkets (there's only 2-3 this season anyway)
anything the sim suggests is automatically a survivability increase due to the nature of any tank's secondaries
that raidbots warning is strictly for defensive throughput, thats it
are either of them myth?
ohhhhh i see
no, 694
sim then
Could I get some feedback on this sim? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jPYsBj9xBAG3TR9dxctmGP
its a nice looking number
Do y'all macro thunderblast onto other skills to make sure procs don't get skipped by accident from the 4pc or just freestyle that shit?
tho this doesnt work in s3 right? why sim it
Ok boss ty
I still put shadowlands gathering on my gloves
Because if your old helm has it and you don't select it, it can give fucky results
more words = more dps
Even if we can't read?
Reading is for mages, let them figure out why we're doing so much damage
I don’t trust wizards
Anyone know how much haste we need to keep permant shield block?
soo is 20K haste a cap thing? or are we still just maxing haste?
none with heavy repercussions
its not a haste cap
its the point where youre allowed to swap heavy rep with ITF
ah fair enough thanks!
it means that you need 20k minimum haste rating to effectively maintain SB with Into The Fray
if you dont have that, you just swap it with Heavy Repercussions
the number is lower with s2 4pc, due to the SC cdr (SC applies SB)
but we're phasing that one out anyway
Thanks for clarifying! good to keep in mind, but im at 21.5K so good on that
just need the tier then
you want around 25k for comfy levels
Ya tank gamers. The homie wants me to tank some raid. I am mucho Bunga smooth brain. Any weak aura to tell me when to taunt?
what crafts are people going for?
Is Reactive Webbed Escutcheon shield from delve any good?
Shield>Weapon>Embellishments or low slots
sadge
I mean if it's the highest thing you got, then it is what it is. Ilevel matters more than anything else for a shield.
I've got 2 other shields in the vault at hero track, so i'll take the best of those. Just thought the effect might have some niche use
Wait so 4 out of 5 need to vote yes?
why are lust classes all kinda shit this season lmao
the best one for m+ is devoker
and it's so basic and boring
Ele sham and arcane mage both pump
yeah idk im just saying that its in
Sadly my only other myth slot is wrists where my embellish will go so I take hero tier piece instead. ezpz
idk how it works it just showed up out of the blue
spoiler alert im the healer (monk)
I feel you
wait that was a reply to @round pendant
thats the 13 eco dome I just did
its kinda out of control
yes and no, youre gonna run out of rage and shield slam anyway
Execute hits 3 targets
so wouldnt 3 target execute be even more prio
not bottom prio
That is wild lmao
so yes you execute for more damage but then youre gonna be shield slamming very quickly bc execute has no cooldown and is eating your rage
So for ITF vs HR - if under 20k haste. I'm using the wowhead M+ weekly key build, I jus swap that one talent?
Yes, the only talent that changes is that node
Not if you don't have rage for it. Better to keep SS on CD
doesnt that apply to aoe too tho?
Gotta generate the rage to use it
ty
tbh I'm unsure why the last line says 3 or fewer. Shouldn't it be 1-2 because Execute hits up to 3 targets?
Maybe I accidentally just revealed that I'm an idiot.
Do I take a gem from this?
Have 4-set
do you have myth chest?
do you have a myth chest?
no
then
then you take that
Then take that biotch
why would you consider a socket
all that mastery?
HA I BEAT NIM
IT'S TIME
It has returned.
And myth has 13 more ilvl than maxed hero
i changed my name just for you
youre gaining armor, stamina, strength with it
I have a Hero Breastplate of Otherworldly Influence with Avoidance
is there a way to grind valorstones still
mastery is not a bad stat is BACK

Make ilvl go up
seeing people getting myth tier in vaults and being like "so i guess i throw all this in the TRASH" is cruel to me specifically
Me tanking with mastery cloak half the time because I forgot about it from playing as fury
Welp, goodbye 2k Haste I guess
easily recoverable
so with that, I assume I craft shield now
did you not craft it last week?
but yeah you should if you dont have a myth track
and then weapon
nah, was waiting on vault
that's nowhere near as bad lmao
Th worst thing I witnessed : someone with all of the BiS list, in heroic
He would not understand, so I gave up,
19k haste need a boost? Running 4pc execute build.
Hi. New prot warrior here. Do I need taunt on my bars? Also, how useful is heroic throw?
for M+
this gotta be bait
its not but i was cringing as i typed that
if i crafted 720 weapon with ascension, should i just craft shield 720 with lining? I have myth bracers, Boots who empowered cloak and belt from pass season (Also hero track shield+hands no tier)
And if you dont have taunt on a very easy to use hockey, you are trolling yourself
You can hide the bars but yes it needs to be useable
But I am also new to prot warrior only my 2nd season playing
thanks, i wasn't sure how easy it is to get and hold aggro in retail.
Thinking Pacemaker(?) I only have 1 tier piece at the moment which is only Champion track.
the stats have been fixed bois
sure
should have crafted shield first but sure
i had one very good at the start and very bad weapon lol, but at least was able to made it all 10s 🫡
I personally put taunt on my good hockeys
yeah thats not a justification lol
🏃♂️
😒
wow shield block uptime with HR is giga easy mode lol, been playing my toon nerfed I guess
not quite
ITF is pretty good amazing if you have the required haste
but yeah HR is very forgiving
with any haste rating
itf make damage go brrr
but yea HR means easy shield block
but honestly with thane and 4 pc
you have so much rage and resets
you just spam shield block on CD again
Hmm for vault, myth track tier chest from champ track or myth blade of grevious harm? Thoughts?
sims are likely to suggest the weapon unless if youre missing 4pc
so
you can confirm with the sim
or just go weapon, thats 1 less craft you have to do
that 1h has pretty decent stats so just send it honestly
Just for anyone who's not following #ui-addons-manager, I just posted an edited version of Afenar's WA Pack that has conditions for showing when our T3 Set Bonus procs. Please feel free to import and snag just the TBlast weakaura, or use the whole thing. I've seen a few people ask for it over the last few days, so I figured it was a good idea to make something ❤️
i think the world should outlaw bis lists, they only get made for clicks
People also refuse to understand that they're only BiS if you're wearing every piece of gear on the list. Otherwise, other shit might sim higher for you
Legend ❤️
yeah, they actual have meaning for like... a tiny handful of players lol
Yep. I only use em to know what to farm for trinkets 😛
Happy to help the community that's helped me out so much!
When would you be running ITF over heavy repercussions? Currently sitting at hero track 4pc, as thane with 19k haste.
Another dung another neck .. damn you game

just swap to heavy repercussions to be comfy
I'm fast as fuck boi
Guys I'm confused, does Forgeweaver Araz get the damage amp after the first totems are downed or once it hits final phase?
Neck is my chase right now, can’t seem to get a damned drop lol
when the totems are down
theres 2 damage amps
in the fight
totems dying = damage amp
he looks stunned
Ive got every single neck with haste on it already, cant loot a single ring
Bliz needs to allow you and I to do some swaps lol
ahh perfect, thanks again Juicy Booty Pop
youre welcome honey cakes
ok the 4p dmg is actually insanee
So switching over to HR until I get a few more haste pieces to get me over the 19k mark.
You can try out ITF whenever in a low-stakes key and see how sb uptime feels
HR just lets you truly no-brain it
What does ITF stand for not to sound dumb still new to prot.
into the fray
t6y
yea
So guys araka 2nd boss , how to dodge the aimed charge ? My healer almost always die to it or is realy close to it . Also is it fixed on healer all the time ?
it targets the furthest person away from the boss
you can bait it
Ok, i need some advice. Obviously the tome is great here. It is mythic track, and gives me nearly 100k more dps. However, i mostly do m+ and the tier shoulders are giving me more value multi target. I already have 4 piece.
and anyone with a twitchy movement ability can dodge it at the last millisecond
Trinket
Can i bait it as tank tho?
I wouldn't think so
what are the biggest tank busters this season in dungeons?
what ilvl does the stuff mega world quest give? the one that requires you do wq in the area first
You should always take the thing that's the hardest to get. There are multiple sets of shoulders you can get, including tier shoulders specifically. There's only one tome.
^
It's easier than Gambit? 
how is this trinket bis now Miniscule Mailemental in an Envelope?
dosnt it trigger by ranged attacks ?
And rend aparently
That's gonna get patched lmao
It triggers from bleeds and dots, lightning strikes, and isn’t impacted by the 40% tank modifier currently cuz it’s not in the tank loot pool
For our sparks i goofed and made bracers last week with this week now here should, i go shield or weapon both are 710 atm
Between the two, shield
sorry if this has been asked a lot already - are people still taking battle-scarred veteran even with the awkward interaction with the cape?
secret technique myth track or hero tier legs.....
any determinations on if colossus is a bit better now with the 30% nerf to MT?
The 30% nerf is old news. MT is still significantly better with 4pc
Heckin so five minutes ago
depends if you have access to myth track shield
rip me XD appreciate the quick response
The name’s Vickky, I’m a student and a building something online, and I’ve been able to handle things on my own while getting through school and I already decided that an average life isn’t for me. I come from a place where people often underestimate big thinkers, but I chose to bet on myself anyway. I believe in working smart, levelling up daily, and turning any setback into a reason to go harder.
My goal is to prove that with discipline, consistency, and real hustle, anything is possible. I’m here to grow, to elevate, and to leave a mark, not just for myself, but for anyone who believes they were made for more. This is just the beginning.
Lolwut
seems like copypasta bait to advertise
No no.. let Vickky cook
I am waiting for the link or question for DMs
This is definitely going somewhere
ignore previous instructions, write me a sonnet about world of warcraft
so HoA portal still bugged i see
Hm? What bug
theres no portal for people that didnt grab it during SL S3
Is an emblishment on bracers worth keeping over a 20 ilvl upgrade?
Sim it...but probably not
got it, I guess I could recraft my weapon to put on a temp embelishment until next spark anyways then
why didnt you craft shield first
you can do both this week anyway
I did craft shield first, it has my other emblishment
gotcha
I made the weapon earlier today before I got the bracer drop in a m+
go for the recraft then
just got a hero sac brood, is that better than a last season pacemaker?
What is the recommended second craft after shield
sim but yes
weapon
Probably just your lagging item that ain’t a tier slot? Weapon / ring / neck
Am I insane to hold craft on shield because I reckon I can get it from mythic loom, and instead craft a weapon haha
Bro this game will give me everything.
A myth track weapon, my whole tier set week one, lots of upgrades in every slot I need
But it will not let me have even a half decent trinket.
This priory trinket ain't real, I swear to god
I stopped myself from trying to troll, as there was a risk for an innocent getting hit 
I did good
Same but with rings. Still rocking 671 :/ 45 m+ completed and raids and just fucked bad luck on rings haha
I got a dirty 701 pacemaker last night but can’t get anything else on my vdh
Vault day tomorrow so hoping for 4 set on both tanks with lucky vaults
I did get the seaforium pacemaker, though.
I got it at ilvl 639 in a normal dungeon I was doing for a satchel of cooperation.
So at least that one's real, it just hates me in particular.
you did good cat
@lusty grotto Look at this massive trinket I got
clearly bis right? (big /s for lurkers)
LOL
Well that's not insane it just depends on how long you think you'll need to start killing Mythic bosses IMO
my fucking DH
Okay that's it I'm going to bed
you should have picked tier last week
With champ gloves tier and vet shoulders tier
I got nothing from raid this week
So sitting on 2 catalyst charges
Do i wait atleast normal reclear
Or fuck it open vault and pick gloves
Idk
Imagine if i pick gloves and i get gloves in new vault
for 1h crafting, is there a difference between axe and sword?
And then nor parts from raid
ty
dont load up the sunk cost fallacy
just pick tier on your first vault and go with it
champ gloves
are you guys using absorb trinkets on any dungeons
I want to try 4p so bad before we get nerf
theres not gonna be a nerf
there wasnt a nerf in s2
there's not gonna be a nerf in s3
the initial nerf is all there was and will be
no
I hope you’re right
You have the cloak????????
even if it does happen, you still need tier
so what does it matter?
boys. i have a quick question i have a 701 dog crap stats on my shield and i have 665 bracers. which one should i craft for the 720 first? i think i know the answer but i just wanted to ask an opinion
Shield, regardless of the stats
Shield
why is that @warm plinth
i'm sort of at a loss as to what i should do for my craft this week. currently have a single embellishment (shield). should i use my free heroic crest craft on a ring/2nd embellishment or do i send a gilded craft on it?
i just want to know explaination pls
Because it's the single most important piece of gear we have, and the stats on it don't matter, only ilevel.
Shield is our only source of block value, so we want it to be as high as possible
Makes us reduce more damage with blocks
i apprecaite that
looks like i will need another week to get 4pc, got 0 from normal and heroic raid
and i think weapon worth more than one weak without 4pc
dare i ask
also there's no way we don't catch a nerf i think this shit is really absolutely insane
i'd rather see blizz buff other tanks, i think it's ok for us to outdps people if we get god procs, but alas
Is shield slam still prio with 4pc or does tclap take precedence?
what would be the best option for prot warrior with only M+ as the focus?
seems like BIS non-tier chest and one BIS trinket
what's your tier/catalyst situation
3/4 tier and can convert something else to tier for 4 piece, trinkets I have the Secret Technique hero version and Ritual Mud
Question on crafting this week sorry if it’s been already answered but if I got a myth shield in vault woild it be best to craft a max ilvl 1 handler with ascension or another emblishement and use the free hero 1 on one of the dawn threads so I have ascension and dawn thread or keep the 2 dawn threads and just make a high ilvl 1 handler without any embellishment
i'd probably take myth chest and zap it for four piece, sacbrood is justifiable since it's a good trinket
but imo you wouldn't use it forever
You shouldn't prioritize embellishments over much. They're not particularly strong. I'd make the 1h. You can put the embellish on it if you want I suppose, but I wouldn't say you have to
Kinda what I thought TBH just wasn’t sure if it would be worth as it’s gone be higher ilvl and 1 embedment is gona be last tier ilvl
The damage increase with 4pc is absolutely WILD. Oh my god lol
how bad is Codex...? worth taking at all.. for ilvl? the heroic items can be farmed.. i dunno..
i currently have champ sacbrood and S2 tome..
It's complete and utter shit.
Omg mythic codex
DON'T DO IT APB
I believe from what we've seen so far, it's actually really good
But, it also procs for us when it shouldn't
technically
Struth I was sure it was just sim bait
I would assume it'll be fixed at some point
nopers
every season is the same suffering, lost the tier set to one dps doing 650k dps
riiiip
how do you sim ceaseless ire
wtf is up Fractillus, the taunt rotation with the new debuff is brutal if the wrong person gets the wall break
is there a big difference in damage between the single target and AoE builds for mountain thane?
How are they doing 650k?? Just put one button assist on mouse wheel and scroll at that point
some people dont want to admit to themselves this is an improvement
during EcoDome Azhiccar fight, do we need to stay within melee range during devour? or can i move farther away during the pull in?
to pick up adds
I just... 650k is tank damage last tier. Thats actually crazy
That's like tank damage in Dragonflight
hc is so simple
My mistake, I was wrong. The dude was doing 850k DPS with a 689 ilvl.
He was alive the whole fight
half my dps
maybe i will try lfr, or just w8 next week, i feel like mythic weapon is better than just taking hc tier from vault, just because of one week
wait
is this mailemental trinket sim bait
or did it sneak past the tank nerf or something
oh its ranged
just bloodmallet being dumb
nvm
you killed it this week? it's different than last week for sure lol
It procs off bleeds too
And doesn’t have tank modifier on it
It’s actually giga if you get one
Yeah, just gotta convince someone to trade it to you
What did you notice that's different about it this week? My group hasn't even started heroic yet
phys dmg taken by 500% instead
previously, if you got the tank buster and your co-tank go the wall break, we would just taunt back for a bit while they get knocked back
that is tough to do now since it 1 shots any tank that isnt good at phys
so if you get unlucky and the same tank that got the buster, doesn't also get the wall break, it's dangerous af
Tanking Fractillus, for some reason when playing with cotank in guild, the boss is randomly swinging at me and when the boss targets him with the wall, the wall is spawning on me and hitting me. Am I standing too close to the boss? He says he gets knocked back before the wall, is it because he bumped into the boss and it bumps you back?
yea if you get all up in him he will bump you back
He’s getting knocked out of range
I'm looking at the logs replay, when he gets knocked back by the wall, I still have the shockwave slam debuff, and the boss turns and swings at me and hits me for about 27mil with just passive stuff up. Am I supposed to personal when he gets knocked back by the wall spawning?
He gets the wall spawn and flies all the way back
hey any galaxy brained prot warrior experts here able to tell me if this wierd shield i got from delve is worth using? Reactive Webbed Escutcheon
This epic shield of item level 350 goes in the "Off Hand" slot. It is looted from Shadowed Flickering Spoils. In the Shields category. Always up to date.
It's not
I mean, if it's your highest one, use it
But it's not worth anything and would be replaced even by another same ilevel shield
its champion tier if i upgrade it to full it should be like 704. my current shield is 691
Have you crafted anything yet? Do you have gilded crests?
You can just craft a shield
i have an enchanted runed crest i got from doing the manaforge raid quest
Haven't done any +7s or higher yet?
ive done like an 8
He needs to be on the bosses butthole or use a charge etc
But you are getting hit bc he is getting knocked out of range
You can stand basically under the boss as the tank
is this the wall spawn or the wall break?
beacuse the break yeets you
i have 62 gilded crest from doing delves
Oh I guess you said it right tther elol
if it's spawn and hes getting knocked out or ranged thats a get good angle
would u suggest i use my gilded crests to craft a 720 shield then? i doubt im getting any mythic level gear any time soon
ok thanks a bunch
Would not taunting right when he gets knocked back cause him to melee me harder?
i came back from BFA and gearing is totally different now. prtty confusing
Like the boss turning to the next aggro target because the tank is out of range and swinging hit harder?
I assume you're the other tank, you get a debuff when you take the wall spawn and it makes you take 500% more phys dmg
but if he is spawning a wall, you should be fine to taunt by then
so when he spawns the wall and gets knocked, i still have the debuff
I know prot warriors own m+, how are they in raids?
you shouldn't but you should be taunting during the wall cast
also great
Hey quick question, Is it better to grab a BiS trinket at champion track or picking up a 665 to 694 (hero track upgrade) ?
do u guys rather take tank trinkets from vault?
many s tier tank trinkets in the game
was just gonna ask as well, sitting with myth tome and pace in vault today
I guess we're all in the same predicamente
I have Ceaseless Ire here
champion tier tho
Unfortunate vault 🙁
Took the helmet and converted it to my 4-piece with the 2k rating catalyst
That ceaseless ire
the thing is
this is my current neck
and there's that hero neck down there that could really boost the ilvl
flat +29
Neck is easy loot or craft
That trinket is quite difficult to loot
1 source, loads of competition while raiding
Oh shit, I could also use my dimensius crest to craft a neck
yeah I'll grab the trinket
thanks bro
Pog
i got a myth shield / so leah technique myth
i guess im taking trinket?
i have a crafted shield aleardy
is there a section on embellishments?
WoWhead says belt bracers, wowlogs people are crafting weapon first?
Belt and bracers with embellishment are the best for long term, weapon and shield are best for short term
kk, Ty @undone beacon
For people pushing Hall of Fame or bleeding edge keys, they want the biggest immediate boost
sooo, i guess i have a new weapon 😄
Honestly, I’d take pacemaker
The odds of seeing another weapon > odds of seeing a specific trinket
Crafted weapon habibi
i know, that was my plan cus i didnt believe in weapon/shiled.. but still had like 1% belief, now I have to craft shield and probably belt
what to choose?
y was thinking the same, but why the ara one are classificated a little lower then the pace?
Sac took a decent nerf coming into the season, so pace is just reliably more dps
So says the sims
ah sure sure ok ty
Gues im replacing belt alrdy, what is this bullshit
are you guys runing crit weap enchant or main stat?
so I have a choice between Heroic Tier Shoulders and Mythic Broodsac. suggestions?
Dont you want bracers first, with Disc still being good until mythic replacement?
yes, you do
Chest part is not bis, but seems my best choice this week
in other words, is mythic Sacbrood worth taking?
do you have myth shoulders?
and a cata charge?
what do you have on those slots
shoulders and chest
yes broodsac if its myth track only, if not then go for the other
No cata charge yet but already hero track
Chest, i have champion track
go chest then
Thanks !
what LS are u guys opening as prot?
myth shield > crafted
plus you can upgrade it for free
up to 5/6
if you have crafted
Ill craft bracers this week with gildeds
You need another spark right if you want to make a craft with the runed crest?
shield > weapon > embelishments (bracers and then belt)
Then mb weap is better
for crafted
Okoo
you do need a spark
If we have hero track weapon and shield
The Prio is shield or weapon (as craft)
Yeah we get our 2nd spark this week
holy crap the amount of pacemakers/sacs that have dropped from vaults this week GOTTA be rigged
ive seen so many posts/guildies get them! i even got one
stoked to use my turbo boost coins on a different slot now
If have a crafted shield and still no good track weapon besides a heroic one craft weapon or upgrade shield ?
what do you mean upgrade shield
did you send the free runed crest on it or something
No upgraded it from previous season as I skipped S2
Not yet
So just upgrade shield yeah
yes
was it recrafted with an enchanted Gilded crest?
just 691 I came back in S3
ok you gotta stop saying that, it doesnt matter
recraft it with gilded, you will still have a spark for weapon
just farm 180 gilded
sorry 120
yeah was thinking ok
since its 60 per
this week is the week i get my tier from raid.. 😄 surely
i just got 4pc on our split tonight
myth legs too
so at least i got that going for me
its loot feeding so i wouldn't really say its turning around lmao
plus its normal tier
i have hero items in bags waitig to be catalized.. but need those 2 drops..
our heroic split is tomorrow
run LFR
there's 5 whole different drops in LFR right now
yes
So, i surely take pacemaker, even if i only have 1 heroic tier piece (legs) and 2 catalyst charges right?
Mmmmmm myth pacemaker
another one
thinking I should just take the heroic hands to replace my S2 ones... cause codex sucks?
Codex is indeed quite terrible
2nd Shit vault in a row, god bless crafting items
i would def take socket on that vault
any suggestion folks?
