Dude calls myth shield meh, smh

frosty mango
#

Taking shield means you can craft two pieces (weapon and something else)

#

Secondaries are irrelevant

timid crater
#

Okay. Sounds good.

mint shadow
#

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?

jagged pier
#

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

mint shadow
#

yeah it makes sense

jagged pier
#

but i dont craft really till week 3

#

see what im missing etc

vocal pecan
#

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?

proud schooner
#

What do you guys use to track violent outburst

mighty valley
#

if you're not likely to get a myth shield from raid

vocal pecan
#

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

real fossil
#

is it even worth tracking something like that when you just spam thunderblast

#

Alright lads, there's no way I don't go weapon here right?

jagged pier
#

wep

#

shield > wep > tier

#

i guess tbh i would snag a tome if i got one in vault tbh

nim has friends???

neon elk
jagged pier
#

u far more likely to get tier pieces than a wep

#

and as a wep increases all the damage u do

solid sun
#

What about sick trinkets

jagged pier
#

of course it is

jagged pier
jagged pier
#

on a piece by piece basis

solid sun
#

Is tome the only one though

#

I took a pacemaker but you might not be a pacemaker believer

neon elk
#

I guess it make sense

jagged pier
#

why would i take pacemaker

#

didnt even get it in myth last seaosn

buoyant olive
#

Does tome sit higher above shield at 707 level if they are replacing equal pieces?

jagged pier
#

ire if far better

#

and tome is better

#

those are the trinkets i want

solid sun
#

But that’s not the question

mental scarab
#

Obsidian blast on the first boss in dawnbreaker

#

is tht grp dmg?

solid sun
#

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

heavy sparrow
#

Might go with a signet ngl

neon elk
#

Ill take wrists , u aint gona swap them for like whole season

plush tendon
#

yea, those are ideal wrists

#

slot=done

#

perfect for a socket also

neon elk
#

Might have issues for embelishments later tho

plush tendon
#

eh, you just have a crafted belt or something

neon elk
#

Like i guess belt and what ? Wrists are kinda perfect slot for that

plush tendon
#

or ring

#

who knows

ruby musk
#

Belt and chest maybe

jagged pier
#

u take ring or trinket for free crests later

neon elk
#

Yea thats what i said like sentence later when i hit me xd

jagged pier
heavy sparrow
jagged pier
#

so if it was my only option i would take it from free crests

plush tendon
#

Jakey brought up great points though

jagged pier
#

other wise i would take literally anything else

plush tendon
#

or take tier

#

if you still dont have 4pc

jagged pier
plush tendon
#

or socket for later

tranquil thunder
#

Heyo people , new to prot war but exp on vdh, we macro shield block with any or just use on cd?

heavy sparrow
plush tendon
#

but with current gear, you should have close to or 100% uptime on SB

tranquil thunder
#

So spam anytime i have the cd right?

jagged pier
plush tendon
#

you press it when activley tanking and do not have SB up

#

and dont hold onto two charges

jagged pier
#

nah u dont spam it anymore we actually lost uptime this season, so u need to manage it a bit

tranquil thunder
#

Thank u sir, also for a single target rotation what should i do?

jagged pier
#

not much

#

but a bit

heavy sparrow
jagged pier
#

take the hero piece the dps gain is insane if u get to 4pc

small garden
#

so before i make a mistake, is dps bran with prot warrior good?

jagged pier
#

ye

small garden
#

aight bet

plush tendon
#

always go dps bran

#

other brans are worthless

small garden
#

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

plush tendon
#

Visions are fun once in a while

vocal flame
#

Visions are fun just once

plush tendon
#

I did my two 8 masks before the patch

#

but you can still buy the mount

small garden

might just do to get warbound champion gear

for alts

ok bran does great dps.

im happy with the cinematic

is the shrieking quarts the new way to get the delver map bounty and get hero gear?

it was definitely better than some of the others

Is it really a healer

i still think shadowlands was best cinematic

rough egret
#

It was nice video graphics etc

cedar egret
lofty warren
#

What the fork is a mid ranged dps

cedar egret
#

its a dps with less range than hunter but more than warrior I guess

tribal wharf
#

max range dps is hunter and mage

lofty warren
#

Balance druid

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

mid range is like, i dunno, probably warlock

#

shaman

warm plinth
#

30yd range compared to normal 40yd range

#

What

#

They're talking about actual range yogi. Not performance

lofty warren
#

Does new dh have more range than evoker

wooden spindle
#

wait am i crazy isn't the actual panel on thursday?

warm plinth
#

Don't think they specified but devoker was also called mid range on its release so stands to reason it'd be the same

hardy snow
#

Did Wowhead forgot about NDA with these news or I missed something on the gamescom livestream?

they released a trailer on yt

#

Out ain't nobody wants void elf

toxic pewter
#

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

tribal wharf
lofty warren
#

If essences and corruptions were warbound ppl would like it

tribal wharf
#

my life as of late, just making videos

solid sun
jagged pier
#

i do

toxic pewter
#

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

jagged pier
#

right but what system do u want

#

u have m+ which is what u like doing

toxic pewter
#

Yeah I’m in the minority where I miss systems even from the past that everyone hated

lofty warren
#

Housing imo not useful and big time sink but I get lots of ppl want it for some reason idk

jagged pier
#

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

solid sun
#

What do you mean by system, though? Like the legion weapons?

jagged pier
#

only casuals delve mostly

#

its not worth blizzards time making another one

toxic pewter
#

Yah true

lofty warren
#

I dwelved week 1 and 2 there's some starter gear there

jagged pier
#

that less than half the ppl will want to touch

round pendant
#

I mean delve is literally designed for casuals so that's not surprising

jagged pier
#

i like delves

#

they are chill

torn gulch
#

housing will be the biggest addition to the game since m+
mark my words

toxic pewter
#

Just feels all so damn formulaic every expansion but I guess that’s what the people want

#

Zero risk in anything

torn gulch
#

for the simple reason that casuals dwarf competitive players in numbers

rough egret
#

Quelthalas and zullaman

solid sun
#

What does that mean

#

"Zero risk"

#

What risk are you wanting taken

#

Why does there need to be a risk

toxic pewter
#

lol

lofty warren
#

They need to add warbound corruptions and essences

tribal wharf
#

Seems fine to me

round pendant
#

I think apb's problem is more that it's just same same

jagged pier
tribal wharf
#

supposedly they are finally fixing blood elf city

solid sun
#

If the void wins we all die, apb

#

is that not risk enough

round pendant
#

Not having a suggestion of what to do instead doesn't mean he's just complaining for the sake of it

toxic pewter
#

Hmmm I guess I just have too high of a standard

round pendant
#

nah it's alright to be whelmed

lofty warren
#

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

jagged pier
#

well hes very admant on it, you would expect he would have an idea of what he would want/expect to his standard

tribal wharf
#

im still a bit mad and shocked we got housing and no lumibering skill lol

round pendant
#

Midnight was supposed to be yuge right? and we get.. 4 zones and housing holy

jagged pier
#

just going oh i expected better, but i dont know what that is, is just dumb and cutting your noise off dispite your face

lofty warren
#

Also dwarfs should be allowed to be dh

#

Also make aug a tank spec and make buff dragon race

tribal wharf
#

dark iron dh when

lofty warren
#

Also delete target cap

toxic pewter
#

Cinematic had potential for stakes. Really needed to see a main character get murdered

lofty warren
#

Also revert change that makes casters spam casts

toxic pewter
#

But no everyone would freak out

round pendant
#

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

lofty warren
#

Also make m+ specific gear and track so ppl aren't forced to do raid to get gear for m+

torn gulch
#

you dont need to raid to play m+ all the way to title range

#

that's such a manufactured problem

rough egret
#

Did you actually expect that they will reveal everything tonight? It was just cinematic

lofty warren
#

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×+

solid sun
#

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

waxen cradle
#

If no 4 set from last season from skipping last season is MThane still better with 2 set ?

lofty warren
#

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

The professions system was literally entirely redone

huh

u can as usual ppl engage with the system as much as u like or dont want too at all

rough egret
#

Was in df

solid sun
#

The professions system is entirely different as of DF

lofty warren
#

Housing = garrisons that will be deleted in 13.0 that's my guesstimate

jagged pier
#

just like the 1 button rotation, its not going to effect your game at all

round pendant
#

adding crafting orders and some skill trees isn't a rework of the design of the whole system

torn gulch
round pendant
#

it still fundamentally works the same as it has since vanilla

solid sun
#

That's wild

#

Yeah it has skill points

jagged pier
solid sun
#

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?

#

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

torn gulch
#

housing should not have any power attached to it
convenience yes as long as it is not gamebreaking

jagged pier
#

thats a tight line

#

garrisons were too convenient

lofty warren
#

Everyone is just going to be phased in their own little house?

jagged pier
#

way too convenient

it's a social feature and an rp feature

nah when sims say to

#

oh lol

shrewd grove
lusty grotto
#

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

lusty grotto

no, we sim

hot gazelle
#

should I take a 1h weapon or an armor piece from the vault, both a substantial ilvl upgrade

main bone
lusty grotto
# main bone 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

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
#

its the point where youre allowed to swap heavy rep with ITF

crude spoke
#

ah fair enough thanks!

lusty grotto
#

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

crude spoke
#

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

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

I highly recommend having hthrow

For ranged tagging

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

wow shield block uptime with HR is giga easy mode lol, been playing my toon nerfed I guess

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?

lusty grotto
#

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.

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.

slow hatch

and anyone with a twitchy movement ability can dodge it at the last millisecond

#

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.

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.

Is an emblishment on bracers worth keeping over a 20 ilvl upgrade?

fair osprey

Probs not

#

I would take the ilvl for DR/sta alone

fringe burrow

got it, I guess I could recraft my weapon to put on a temp embelishment until next spark anyways then

lusty grotto

you can do both this week anyway

fringe burrow

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

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.

Guys im facing a dilemma

#

I have vault from last week

lusty grotto
#

you should have picked tier last week

errant leaf
#

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

lusty grotto
#

how long are you gonna sit on that vualt

#

you already held it for way too long

errant leaf
#

We raid tomorow (im eu)

#

So on reset day

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

#

you should have picked something

#

you dont hold a vault for 2 weeks

errant leaf
#

Imagine if i pick gloves and i get gloves in new vault

regal shadow
#

for 1h crafting, is there a difference between axe and sword?

errant leaf
#

And then nor parts from raid

regal shadow
#

ty

lusty grotto
#

dont load up the sunk cost fallacy

#

just pick tier on your first vault and go with it

#

Anyway do i take champ gloves or vet shoulders

#

I guess gloves

champ gloves

are you guys using absorb trinkets on any dungeons

I want to try 4p so bad before we get nerf

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

warm plinth
#

Shield, regardless of the stats

errant leaf
#

Shield

neon tide
#

why is that @warm plinth

neat wharf
#

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?

neon tide
#

i just want to know explaination pls

warm plinth
#

Because it's the single most important piece of gear we have, and the stats on it don't matter, only ilevel.

neon tide
#

thganks for your help

#

i will do that

warm plinth
#

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

neon tide
#

i apprecaite that

rancid sedge
#

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

chrome falcon
#

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

frozen berry
#

Is shield slam still prio with 4pc or does tclap take precedence?

spark cedar
#

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

mighty valley
#

what's your tier/catalyst situation

spark cedar
#

3/4 tier and can convert something else to tier for 4 piece, trinkets I have the Secret Technique hero version and Ritual Mud

agile comet
#

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

mighty valley
#

but imo you wouldn't use it forever

warm plinth
agile comet
#

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

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

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?

dreamy crag
#

yea if you get all up in him he will bump you back

frosty mango
late trellis
# frosty mango 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

obtuse venture
#

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

warm plinth
#

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

obtuse venture
#

its champion tier if i upgrade it to full it should be like 704. my current shield is 691

warm plinth
#

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?

You can stand basically under the boss as the tank

beacuse the break yeets you

i have 62 gilded crest from doing delves

dreamy crag
#

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

obtuse venture
#

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

warm plinth
#

do that

obtuse venture
#

ok thanks a bunch

late trellis
obtuse venture
#

i came back from BFA and gearing is totally different now. prtty confusing

late trellis
#

Like the boss turning to the next aggro target because the tank is out of range and swinging hit harder?

dreamy crag
#

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

late trellis
#

so when he spawns the wall and gets knocked, i still have the debuff
