.................

restive oak
#

should i just send second craft belt? i have a myth weapon, crafted shield

ionic nimbus
#

Tome…

lusty grotto
#

you gotta be fucking kidding me

rough egret
#

haha

restive oak
#

and my bracers are good stat hero track with socket

lusty grotto
#

no

#

do crafted bracers

rough egret
#

you can sim

restive oak
#

yeah, but the socketed decent bracers made me question that choice

lusty grotto
#

there's no question

lusty grotto
#

sim it and youll see

restive oak
#

true

rich solar
#

In pretty sure the delve belt is pulling extra packs in Dungeons

#

I just cant prove it yet

#

Doakes.gif

lusty grotto
#

it will be if youre running it on the wrong power

#

make sure its on spark burst

#

and/or critical chain

#

those are the only good for warriors, of any spec

#

charged bolts WILL PULL

#

and its no bueno

torpid dome
#

Do you take an embellish on crafted weap?

vivid thunder
#

when do we replace that belt? is there an ilvl threshold it becomes less desireable?

lusty grotto
#

you can

#

you can just swap it afterwards

lusty grotto
#

but probably not right now

torpid dome

hasty quest
# ionic nimbus Tome…

isnt bad choice btw? i saw a video from yoda that best trinket are gambit stats and raid with crit

fierce cradle
#

Do we craft belt and wrists?

spice iron
#

I haven't sent any crafts yet, what's the reason we don't send both crafts into gilded weapon + shield if you're still stuck with hero?

torpid dome
#

Craft prio
Shield > weapon > embellish > low ilvl pieces

fierce cradle
#

why tho, loomithar drops shield

torpid dome
#

Crafted shield > hero track loom shield

#

And shield is the biggest upgrade we can get

#

Eventually

lusty grotto
fierce cradle
lusty grotto
#

and can you guarantee that youll get the shield?

#

have you killed it this week?

spice iron
#

We didn't get Dimensius down last week, so we're still at least a week or two away from mythic I'd wager

torpid dome
#

When you get myth track shield from some source, you switch to crafted bracers

vocal roost
#

Im crafting shield cause i dont mythic raid 😎

fierce cradle
lusty grotto
#

even if you mythic raid

#

the only downside to crafting a shield is losing the 1st spark

torpid dome
#

Yep

fierce cradle
#

and if it drops im likely to get it

lusty grotto
#

you get discounted on a myth shield for 5/6 tracks

spice iron
#

So just full send both sparks into 720 weapon and shield?

lusty grotto
#

free upgrades

torpid dome
#

And you want that 720 shield anyways for myth raiding

lusty grotto
#

thats the crafting order

#

unless you can guarantee that you will get first myth boss (for weapon) and 2nd myth boss (for shield) AND get the drops

restive oak
#

belt is like 30k ahead of crafted bracers for me

lusty grotto
#

the longer you wait, the worse it will be

#

then go with what the sims say

restive oak
#

in dslice

vocal roost
#

Is the 701 delve belt still atttainable?

lusty grotto
#

dont fucking do dslice

#

youre not new here clapnoth

#

you know full well the APL is not optimized for dungeon slice

lusty grotto
vocal roost
#

Is it better than any belt till we get a myth track one?

lusty grotto
#

probably up until 6/6 hero

#

but its hard to say

neon elk
#

Either high hero or myth track

vocal roost
#

Perf, im only 670 ilvl so its a nice upgrade

neon elk
#

710 with socket was siming better for me few days ago, but aint no way im spending glided on hero belt to get it to 710

rustic sequoia
#

Mountain thane prot warrior makes no sense to me... so much rage gen u just spam ignore pain a million times even tho the absorb is maxed. Feels clunky as fk

lusty grotto
#

you must be new to warrior

frank surge
#

hey guys, any input for this? atm i only have tier legs, but i got 2 upgrades available, so im leaning towards taking shoulders and getting 4p, crafting a 720 shield+onehand
(i only do m+, very limited raiding)
Only thing im contemplating is the shield since its myth track

lusty grotto
#

thats how it was before rage gen got nerfed

lusty grotto
#

100% shield

#

and then skip crafting

vocal roost
#

Did i make a good vault choice? I picked mythic legs and catalyzed it

lusty grotto
#

on to weapon

torpid dome
#

Yep shield is the way to go there

frank surge
#

really 😮

lusty grotto
#

yes really

torpid dome
#

Myth shield > crafted shield

lusty grotto
#

they dont even have crafted

#

so

frank surge
#

at max upgrade its only +2 ilvls of crafted shield though isnt it? and it isnt bis stats unlike crafted shield

lusty grotto
#

thats moot

frank surge
#

ohhh they dont?

torpid dome
#

Get that thing to 6/6 and then never worry about it again

lusty grotto
#

you did say "crafting a..."

torpid dome
lusty grotto
#

so you dont have crafted shield

#

but even if you do

#

you pick shield

frank surge
#

yea

#

okay thanks for the input guys

vocal roost
#

Should i still craft weapon if i got heroic?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

we're very serious about ilvl > all

#

especially on shields, especially on weapons

restive oak
#

they within 5k of eachother in patchwerk

lusty grotto
#

i would 100% go for bracers dude

#

but ultimately its your decision

restive oak
#

it does have more stats

rich solar
#

Craft a cloak

restive oak
#

5head

torpid dome
#

Can we upgrade to cloak lvl 5 this week?

restive oak
#

to 720, if thats level 5, i dont know

torpid dome
#

Alright, noice

#

Remember, you can upgrade via Macro, no need to go to npc

rich solar
#

But i need to got to the npc for the weekly quest for transmogs 🙁

restive oak
#

but if i craft bracers i should just use my free crating rune crest on it probably and save my gilded for good stuff until later probably

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

you should

#

100%

torpid dome
#

Dont you want gilded craft on bracers anyways?

lusty grotto
#

eventually

restive oak
#

like the last thing i do

#

pretty much

lusty grotto
#

but not right off the bat, you wanna save gilded for other stuff

#

there's a big constraint of the gilded cap

restive oak
#

or once i have more than i can realistically spend on mythic pieces

eternal ivy
#

How important is the crafter belt bonus?
In vault I have mythic belt or tier gloves what you think 🤔

lusty grotto
#

man i forgot how garbage reset day is

rich solar
#

Hahahaha

lusty grotto
#

im kinda tired of vault questions

#

someone take it away

frank surge
lusty grotto
#

im just saying in general

rich solar
#

I can take over for a minute

restive oak
#

i took bis dungeon weapon over sac, cuz i'd eventually be looking to replace sac anyway

lusty grotto
#

the tl;dr is sim

rich solar
#

Just gonna reply "Craft cloak" every time

charred lagoon
#

Is the Ring from Dimensius worth it for the proc?`Sounds pretty bad at first glance. Decision is between the Ring (Champion) and Tier legs (Hero) Wouldve gotten Tier anyway, but Legs is a Champion -> Hero Upgrade

restive oak
#

bis dungeon weapon is forever

elfin cosmos
#

what you guys think.. D:

spice iron
#

How much do we realisticly care for Ringing Ritual Mud? Got a myth track one in the vault, but I'm generally a bit iffy on what to pick

frank surge
restive oak
#

i mean if your pushing like a super high key maybe

#

but probably not

elfin cosmos
frank surge
mighty valley
#

yeah take time

#

tome

frank surge
#

based off what ive read id say tome is best though

viscid lantern
#

Isint Tome with Floodgate trink the 2 BiS for Prot?

rich solar
restive oak
#

from dungeon

lusty grotto
#

Vault TL;DR:

ilvl > all, sim otherwise, pick myth track shields, myth track weapons, myth track trinkets (especially Tome, Pace, Idol, Sacbrood, Soleah's) over whatever else - if youre not sure sim.

NO "BIS ITEM" is worth keeping over ilvls and/or numbers gained.

sim sim sim sim

elfin cosmos
#

I'm not even sure what tome does D:

restive oak
#

brand is bis

charred lagoon
rich solar
#

If your lazy Tome is D tier cause you have to press it sometimes

rustic sequoia
#

Brand trinket did 8.7% of my total damage in flood gate

lusty grotto
#

yes brand is turbo bis, we know

lusty grotto
#

no

restive oak
#

not really

lusty grotto
#

signet is dogshit

#

we're not a 2min class

#

we're a 1:30 class

restive oak
#

if we have an on use its 90

rich solar
#

Are we tho

prisma vortex
lusty grotto
#

only use it if you dont have anythign else

prisma vortex
#

sooo

restive oak
#

45ish really

lusty grotto
#

no, avatar is every 45s

prisma vortex
#

or less i g

lusty grotto
#

with proper rage use

restive oak
#

45x2= 90 tho

prisma vortex
#

fair

waxen cradle
#

If you dont have 4 set from last season does Colossus still pull ahead until 4 set S3 ? Or are they even

prisma vortex
#

is eradicating arcano really that good? it sims highest on 704s

#

i dont have seaforium yet

restive oak
#

yeah

lusty grotto
#

until 4pc

prisma vortex
#

idk when i looked at overall in dungeon on eradicating when i tested it i wasnt really wowed by it

#

not like brand ire trinket xd

rich solar
#

I lost count on how many times i died due to colossus

lusty grotto
#

skill issue

rich solar
#

Big true

restive oak
#

i kinda like colossus

#

mt can get kinda shield slam/clappy

lusty grotto
#

i prefer colossus

#

only cause thane gameplay is literally the same gameplay that we've had since BFA

restive oak
#

immovable object is nice too

rustic sequoia
#

My ignore pain finger is going to fall off playing mountain thane

rich solar
#

Pressing shieldwall for damage was fun

restive oak
#

i wish we got conquerors banner over spear

lusty grotto
thick dock
#

What stats/embellishment for crafted shield? Still crit/haste w/ duskthread lining?

lusty grotto
#

whatever sims best

prisma vortex
#

skipped shadowlands well because it was ass xd

rich solar
#

I started in shadowlands

lusty grotto
#

banner gameplay was pretty decent

rich solar
#

Game became better every since

lusty grotto
#

if not one of the best iterations of it

#

SL was a dogshit exp

calm hinge
restive oak
#

is beeg

lusty grotto
#

its revenge focused

rich solar
#

Makes you spam revenge for big numbers

lusty grotto
#

instead of just infinite rage

#

demands proper rage management

calm hinge
#

ah fun

#

fuck that

lusty grotto
#

good thing its just an opinion

#

it cant hurt you brother

rich solar
#

I feel like colossus had more defensive capabilities

rigid hull
#

IS Ceaseless ire a S tier trinket cuz of defense or damage @lusty grotto

calm hinge
lusty grotto
#

damage

calm hinge
#

its like good for you if you can do that coz it sounds hella more interactive

rigid hull
#

and it sims the more time u fight?

calm hinge
#

but im fucking ass

restive oak
#

what was the last s tier trinket that was purely defensive for prot war? :x

rigid hull
#

sims more *

lusty grotto
rigid hull
#

cuz i simmed on 1/5 min patchwerk and it was a loss

lusty grotto
#

yes

rigid hull
#

i see

lusty grotto
#

ceaseless ire needs 5 min sims

rigid hull
#

cool cool

high latch
#

Am I completely braindead if I pick this? It'll get me hero track 4pc immediately and I currently have 671 4pc from last season.
The myth track shoulders will probably be better long term, but...

rich solar
restive oak
#

well that yeah

lusty grotto
#

that wasnt s tier

#

not even close

#

it was dreadplates in s4

#

technically

restive oak
#

if you were pushing real high it was very nice

#

it's s tier in it's niche

lusty grotto
#

nah

#

it wasnt s tier period

restive oak
#

if you're going to raid, you should probably do that see what you get and then decide

rich solar
#

Cant think of any trinkets that were defensive focuses that were mega bis

prisma vortex
lusty grotto
#

thats it

prisma vortex
#

personally* unless ur some 6/8 M raider already

lusty grotto
#

thats the one

high latch
#

Yeeeaahh.. But 4pc though

prisma vortex
#

if ur that desperate for it

high latch
#

Not gonna raid this season

prisma vortex
#

ah

#

when is next catalyst?

rigid hull
#

such fun trinkets as prot war

lusty grotto
#

100%

high latch
#

Next week, right?

lusty grotto
#

next week yes

#

for catalyst charge

high latch
#

Actually yeah. Getting 4pc one week early by skipping a myth item sound stupid. Thanks.

restive oak
#

glad we could help

rich solar
#

No damage to it.

restive oak
#

lol

frosty mango
#

thane is back and im here for it

rich solar
#

Look at me, im the dps now

blazing ridge
#

What key is this?

frosty mango
#

this is a carry priory

blazing ridge
#

Nice

#

I think my IP / SS macro is messing me up, probably need to take SS off of it

lusty grotto
#

why

#

just dont use it to SS

#

as you should

#

you only press it to IP

#

if youve been pressing it to SS, youre fucking yourself

#

the guides specifically say not to do so

blazing ridge
#

Nah I am not

#

Probably spamming it too often sometimes, and then me missing Violent Outbursts on Thunderblasts

lusty grotto
#

technically

#

if youre on gcd

#

the SS never goes off

#

but it does get queue'd

#

so it depends on your latency and skill SPELL queue settings

#

but i understand what youre saying

blazing ridge
#

I think thats what might be messing me up

#

But obviously skill issue

lusty grotto
#

might be worth a try to just put natty IP there

blazing ridge
#

Yeah

rich solar
#

How do i increase my skill setting

lusty grotto
#

i dont think its a skill issue necessarily

blazing ridge
#

Just gonna give it a try later with clean IP

lusty grotto
#

yeah go for it

pearl storm
#

sitting on 0 pice with 2 catalyst charges.

What to pick from Vault (all myth track)

  • shoulder (crit/haste)
  • helmet (crit/vers)
  • pacemaker
mighty valley
#

the macro started seeing use when there was basically nothing other than long CDs that you’d want to press over ss

blazing ridge
#

Or maybe just put Thunderclap on it? monkahmm

lusty grotto
#

absolutely not

lofty glen
#

wanna die...... have 720 shield....

need the set for 4p. fraktilus boots are in there too

mighty valley
lusty grotto
#

and you freely upgrade it to 5/6

#

due to your crafted

lofty glen
#

but 4p is so crazy strong no?

lusty grotto
#

youll get 4pc next week

rich solar
lusty grotto
#

or by other means

lofty glen
#

and shield is vers mastery

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

#

shield is myth

#

thats' all that matters

torn gulch
#

shield is more important than anything

#

that's a piece you'll have all season now

lusty grotto
#

the only stat that is important on shields is block which is only increased by ilvl

torn gulch
#

and you only pay 15 crests to upgrade it which means you only "wasted" a spark which is not that big of a problem

#

season is long

split kiln
#

What is best to craft with 2 sparks?

lusty grotto
#

shield and weapon

split kiln
#

Shield + Bracers or Shield + Weapon?

#

Ok wasn't sure if Bracers was better for Embellish

lusty grotto
#

its not

#

bedge time

lone nest
#

I'm pretty sure Blizz is just trolling with these but what are the Vambraces of Verification actually used for? Do their stat budgets lose any value because of this (seemingly irrelevant) cantrip effect?

#

I'm intrigued if their stat budgets (+leech) are the same as normal bracers since this is my biggest upgrade. But would love to hear from smarter people here

#

I have 2pc and can easily grind out hero gear in m+ so it would be between the myth/hero wrist and champion level astral antenna

hearty cipher
#

what a depressing vault

#

no 4pc for me and i have sac brood and pacemaker right now

#

but i guess its signet

rough egret
#

Socket

hearty cipher
#

the worst feeling option

#

🙁

rough egret
#

I was there last week

torpid dome
#

I think socket might be an option in your case yeah 😮

#

maybe signet?

rough egret
#

Nah its not good for us

torpid dome
#

I have still shit tier trinkets

hearty cipher
#

I have hero sacbrood and champion pacemaker I could probably replace the pacemaker for ilvl but yeah signet not really great trinket

torpid dome
#

rocking signet & swarmgland rn lmao

rough egret
#

Socket is good option save it for belt and wrist craft

#

Next vaults will be good

#

Surely

torpid dome
#

hopefully next vaults I get some decent trinkets from them lmao

humble pebble
torpid dome
#

I'm wondering tho, is there a reason why we pick mainly dps trinkets over defensive trinkets as prot warrior?

#

more dmg == more rage generation?

rough egret
#

Because offensive is the best defensive stat

#

They cant hurt you if they dead

#

Also the defensive value from the teinkets is not worth

rich solar
#

Apart from a big fck off shield from mudblood, most defensive trinkets offer us very little

rough egret
#

Crit is a defensive stat too

torpid dome
#

hmm alright

rough egret
#

Even mud trinket is not that usefull this tier as the bosses that we were using it for got nerfed

rich solar
#

Oh yeahhh

torpid dome
#

was wondering since some of the ppl in my group were doubting my decision that I was pushing for dps trinkets lmao

sharp merlin
#

Tanking has changed that damage = defence

rich solar
#

Also more dmg = more threat

rough egret
#

Tome+Brand is the way

#

With Pacemaker as filler

torpid dome
#

alr

#

then I'll aim for that...

rough egret
#

They both gives Crit, which makes parrygod happy

torpid dome
#

I guess if I get champion tier brand of ceaseless ire from raid, that goes over the trinkets I have rn lmao

rough egret
#

Yes most likely

#

At 704 its still very strong

torpid dome
#

signet/swarmgland is what i got,
Swarmgland has gotta go but I need to get a decent alternative

rigid hull
#

is ascedance emblishment good? @lusty grotto

#

im gonna craft a weapon today

#

need more damage

rich solar
#

Think hes sleeping but yeah

restive oak
#

if you're crafting weapon, probably yeah

#

but sim to be sure

tall tide
#

Hey folks myth pacemaker or mud?

restive oak
#

pacemaker all day

#

every day

tall tide
#

cheers mate

restive oak
#

its one of t he best dungeon trinkets you can get

torpid dome
#

Only bested by ire and tome

blazing ridge
#

I think I take Pacemaker here or? Already have Hero Set Head..

restive oak
#

yeah

#

easier to hit another myth helm

#

Hello fellow shieldbearer !
Got almost a shitty vault but MAYBE this waist can maybe replace the delve one. What do you think about that ? Idk if the proc of the delve waist is very relevant or a flat stat is better.

restive oak
#

belt is usable long term, just not exciting

weak spade
#

I am so confused on what to get

restive oak
#

probably tome

torpid dome
#

100% tome

restive oak
#

you can craft a weapon

torpid dome
#

Myth track trinket is your biggest upgrade you can get

#

Just craft the weap yea

Or triceps

#

I have it too 😄

rough egret
stone ice
#

just took a look at the damage breakdown for a moment. is it even worth pressing revenge on thane at all?

#

it seems marginal and basically a waste of rage that would actually be better spend being an IP or something, its 2.5% of the sim

rough egret
#

As a filler

restive oak
#

like procs somtime, like you cant press tc or ss, to reset ss

#

but not very much, no

rough egret
#

Also rage dump on 8+ targets iirc

#

<8 you dump execute

#

Ive got a hero 1hand bis stats and crafted shield. Do I craft a weapon or do an armor slot? Is crafted weapon being 10 ilvl more that much bigger than a maxed hero wep?

has anyone attempted 5 tank hardmode? or are dispels an issue

I would prob go for the myth track weap

im only one who needs 1h str wep ill wait till mythic reclear

torpid dome
#

yeah then it makes sense

mint shadow
#

whats the best use of gilded after crafting? next spark is in two week so just spend and send it all on upgrading any mythic gear?

torpid dome
#

What are your crafts?

#

I think it's Crafts > decent trinkets > Mythic gear pieces

#

flatlined

jagged pier
idle copper
#

Sanity check. I have hero gear (in my bag) for the tier slots but currently only have champion tier legs.

I have x2 tier tokens currently

My mythic vault gear was a belt and trash

But I have chance for tier hero hands

I have 45 guilded (+this week's 90) and full rune crests (already crafted guilded shield)

I take the hands and tier x2 hero slots to get my 4 piece yep?

2nd question:

I have a 710 hero 1H (upgraded for free by getting a 710 2H drop)

I still craft my 1H with guilded this week ?

rough nest
#

I'll craft weap+shield this week but for vault IDK. Bracers ?

#

What are we using to sim? Is there certain settings to check on Raidbots for tanks?

Got mythic Sacbrood and 2 trash stat necks in vaults, but already got Hero Peacemaker/Idol in my trinket slots

#

Already got 4P, if I pick gloves can't use them til next week

#

And of course they will be in GV 😄

jagged pier
#

thats fine

#

u arent ever going to replace them when u cata them

#

u will replace bracers with a crafted emblishemnt

vale escarp
#

would be great to get a myth set part...

jagged pier
#

u do

#

right there in the middle line

#

stop thinking for just a week

#

think into the future

#

u get a cata charge next week

#

u ahve a myth piece right there

vale escarp
#

still only got one set from the last boss, will wait until I finished this weeks ids

#

but atleast its a token so I can chose freely

Hey, does anyone else think that M+ sub 12 is too easy? There are already a decent amount of 3k or sth rio people after a week in the patch

torpid dome
#

in general M+ becomes easier with ongoing seasons within an expansion, due to power creep

torpid dome
#

S2 it became easier to achieve

and S3 it will be even easier

no, they've actively tuned m+ to be easier starting with last season

I got 701 Wep and 704 shield. Still running 671 shoulders from last season. Is it worth to craft shoulders or is it a waste in the long run? I already have 4set.

I crafted 720 shield already, didnt get wep in vault. so i guess its a wep craft now is the most power gain 🙂 ?

question: so there was a weapon upgrade bug last week that took 60 of my gilded instead of 30 (as if you upgraded both slots), meaning that atm I can upgrade a shield for free to 710. how much of a power difference is in 10 ilvl for the shield? should I stick with my 710 shield or blast through another 60 gilded for a max crafted one?

jagged pier
torpid dome
#

Ilvl > Stat prio, espec if you crafted weap + bracers and have no option to craft shield rn

torn gulch
#

we need a pin of some sort that says that stats don't matter on a shield

#

except ilvl

so, blow through another 60 gilded for the shield and maybe upgrade the sacbrood I got from vault with the rest of mah gilded?

none of the stats are bad

1st shield mythic

SHIELD > WEP > TIER (OR CATA PIECE) / TOME > brand if nothing else > trinket / rings for free crests > unluck anything else

for chooseing gear from vault

ever

#

doesnt matter in what content

#

its not better than shield or wep

rich pulsar
#

Putting cata piece over bis trinket feels short sighted

jagged pier
#

its not over its /

#

meaning its a choice

sudden grotto
#

i would take bis trinket 1st

jagged pier
#

u can also just buy it later

best wep and shield are from raid so if u dont raid mythic u wont be able to buiy them anyway

not bis

bis is from nexus king

@jagged pier Thanks for the Help

should you craft shield if you didn't get it in the vault and no hope for killing 2nd boss this week ?

because u are going to replace it eventually

always craft stuff you wont replace first

the crests you spend on crafting shield go towards 5/6 myth track free upgrade anyways, only losing out on a spark

opted for the hero track helmet, to use a catalyst on it for my 4-set bonus

My fellow warriors.

I simmed both the shield, and belt. Both crafted at 720. the belt gives me far more DPS. However, for survivability's sake and the such, should I get a shield instead? I have a 701 shield 3/6 Hero. Priory's Shield.

wich one guys??

for raid tanking

shoulders imo

untold minnow

no trinket?

torpid dome

myth track tier set piece is big imo, sacbrood is decent, but drastically nerfed this season, so it's not bis anymore

basically you will never replace the shoulders

#

but you will replace sac brood as soon as you get heroic ire or tome in vault

I was also deciding between myth legs for next week's catalyst or myth pacemaker

because myth pacemaker might sim worse than arcanocrystal + tome

I'm not doing mythic anytime soon so for me a shield craft first was the best choice
