Just making sure cuz the campaign had been a snooze tbh been having more fun doing the dungeons
I played all through DF with the "welcome to the dragon isles" quest
ya will be fine
thats fine
if you care about the story at all (which was decent at the start of tww and then became very mid after that and throughout) you can just do it later
discord is currently very slow, might be an outage
Ih shoot i misremembered it being ss with revwnge
god i hated the start of the tww story lmao
dalaran's destroyed!! i'm sad -- oh wait never mind. the coreway. the most boring dwarves they've made yet. maybe spiders. whatever
With that macro qhat if you need rage to push shield block but you used your macro and ate up rage with ip first. Guess that won't happen bc ss gives rage? What if your ss is not in rage and you're spamming the macro?
you don't replace shield slam with that macro
you only replace IP
Guys, if i win arm in raid and shield in raid, hero both, what should i craft?
Omg I read it as "this is your normal shield slam macro"
the exact opposite of what it actually says
it's debatable whether you should actually use it anyway this tier
Why not use it?
since you want to use outburst on thunder blast under certain situations
classic
-# I only have him ignored because he was spamming a server I was reading the other day, nothing against him
the conversation that got us here was next level pepega, lemme tell you
Ss is on the same gcd as these higher prio tho so idk about that macro
yeah it takes some finesse to use it
4-set goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
when I’m going through CDs I stagger IP inbetween the gcd
so. probably don’t use it
Tbh just make better bindings and don't macro things together
Feels like it doesn't conform with priority list so not gonna use. Only makes sense if ss is always top prio
Anyone here have a good understanding of the Araz fight?
The pillar phase is wiping us and I'm not sure precisely how the adds help to negate the aoe on the intermission phase
if you use the ip macro smartly it can definitely have value, catches some SS resets that human reaction speed wouldn’t
Even if it catches a reset it can still cause you to use ss when you should be going something else
is it worth to make 1h/shield this week or wait another week for vault?
It's a dice throw
It's worth it until you get a lucky vault
Sometimes you never get a lucky vault
Usually worth it unless you're a mythic raider
Early weapon/shield this tier
720 crafted shield with Writhing Armor banding (and hero track shoulder tier, then finally 4 set) or 723 shield High mastery low versa Priory Shield (and crafted 720 bracer with writhing/dawnthread and no 4 set yet)? 🤔 decisions, decisions.. For M+ only, I don't do higher than HC raid atm D:
ilvl > all on shield
these pugs are so so so bad
myth track shield
myth track shield and crafted weapon
theres no decision
if i already have myth weapon equipped and myth shield in vault do I just craft 2 duskthread for off pieces?
the SS/IP macro is so that when you spend the rage on IP, if you get a SS proc, you insta spend it
yup
you move on to the next in prio
great thanks
so embelishments
I don't like Thane anymore 🙁 How far behind is Colossus?
considerably
And no buffs coming?
Do these additional targets need to be less than 20% (35% hp) to get hit?
Can somebody explain me how i got 2 melees that did way more damage than the rest? Eventhough i had the same mitigation
Talking about the melees that cheated me ofc
its only ahead if you have 4pc
What Colossus?
thane dude
Yeah I got 4p today
you only just got 4p today and you're bored of thane?
fractilius tank buster makes it so your physical dmg intake is increased by 500%
youre allowed to be bored with thane
its the same playstyle since BFA
i feel the same way
but i aint swapping to colossus not when thane is so far ahead
no
you can reverse funnel with it
meaning you can execute an executable target and hit the 2 others
I expected this was the case, thanks for confirming!
yes and you should be doing it
Lotta damage
I have been, that's why I was wondering if it was working the way i thought it did
above 7 targets though
you want to revenge over it
anything under is execute time
under the target count
Oh i thought it only increases the damage from the next tankbuster by 500%. ty

So you push ip and you get a ss proc. When you spend the ss proc that puts you on gcd. If there is something higher on the priority list that is also on the gcd then wouldn't it have been better to just use ip normally while also pushing the highest prio gcd ability?
I removed SS from my IP macro, feels way better now that there might be spells in higher priority
Talked about it earlier too
My IP is on mouse button so its not like my left hand is busy hitting it
general consumable question, everything says to use secondary stat food, is it just always better than stamina food?
stamina is garbage
in the past, the only things higher than it in prio were CDs, and I'd just stagger my IP casts slightly behind the GCD to avoid using SS by accident. but once I have 4set, I think I'll drop the macro
Yeah I sometime had back to back bad spellqueues with the IP macro
Does it make sense to update the macro from /ip /ss to /ip/highest priority ability?
not really, you'd be changing it around between st and aoe
and the main reason to use it is due to unpredictable SS resets
Honestly just get rid of it
no
sadly, the best thing to do is to get better at playing protection warrior in world of warcraft for personal computer
I was thinking about putting Thunderclap on Avatar macro, since it refreshes Thunderclap, but might be not worth it anyway
Meh not that bad imo
no no no
Since sometimes might mess up when charging and using avayar
help please, what crafted embellishment goes on my weapon?
Meh honestly fuck multiple spell macros
But tc is not all that high on prio?
Well TC is the same key as TB
You mean for Col?
Here is the mt one. See tb and tc low. When I look at that i think that it is better to push whatever is higher than tc than to get yourself locked in a gcd with lower prio ability
anyone, no guides tell me what embellishment to put on weapon craft
ascension, or none and do 2x threads instead
MFer i just told you, THERES NO WAY TO SUBSTITUTE THAT MACRO
stop looking for ways that dont exist
ive had it with the pepega today
Bro I was responding to sinur3d
yeah but hes pretty fucking dumb today
He's the one that said macro tb and avatar
Guys, if i win arm in raid and shield in raid, hero both, what should i craft?
I never said to do it was just thinking about it 🙁
is the recomended first craft the weapon or the shield?
Also most of the stuff of your priority list are CDs that are above Thunderblast
In our usual combat rotation Thunderblast is the highest priority
so I can craft both this week
Where do you see that?
Really? and should i use embellishments? on sheild and weapon? smth like ascendance?
you can craft both this week
you can but you will recraft it out later
Nimchip do you track Burst of Power buffs or just track VO and Thunderblast charges?
I check icyveins mt and col for st and aoe and don't see tb as highest priority
Because stuff usually happens through decent gameplay anyway?
i dont track anything
it shows up on both the TC and SS buttons
outburst, shield block, thats it
whatever is on the Nome WA
Meh maybe I should search for another weakaura guy since my wa don't show charges of BoP or TB, or maybe I should change them
Nome has a WA package ? Mmh
Aenar weak aura I like
Awesome gonna check it out
Where do you see where it says tb is highest priority?
I mean there are 5 spells above TB in the priority list
in the rotation picture you posted?
outside of CDs you TB first before anything else
Yea but if you macro avatar with tb then you're gonna get gcd locked even thought they may be higher prio things available to press
Yeah I figured it would be stupid
I like nimchimp already said. Macroing these not work good sadly
Feel like you intentionally want to but head with other people sometimes xd
Nuu i just wanted to see if possible to macro something and do better or have easier time
All good mate, I think it's not needed though, putting IP on mouse button 5 is more than enough I guess
I made an edit to Afenars weakaura package to include both of these in the #ui-addons-manager channel
Check this post and the one under it
Thanks for the link gonna check this out too 🙂
I hit 3k last season well before the turbo boost event with SB macro'd to SS... you CAN do it. This season with the reduced button bloat I knew I wanted to kick the bad habit and I have SO MUCH MORE CONTROL over my rage
So what you’re gonna wanna do is macro Ironfur into Thrash and Mangle…
Oh wait wrong discord
Good sir can you pls help me understand the value of having this info tracked instead of not?
Truly, theres not one. You should be pressing tblast every time its up, regardless of if the tier set procced. Some people just like to see it, and its been asked for enough that I just made the edit for people
Basically, the benefit is "your lizard brain gets to see a proc happen"

I went into nome’s weakaura package and made some changes to some conditions where specific things weren’t showing up because after the update ig it messed up required talents
Super easy to do
But I felt like such a hackermans
is anyone else's shield absolutely getting DESTROYED in ecodome? tonight and yesterday while running it striaght up broke before the second boss, rest of gear is fine and went into the isntance with 100% repair
Fuck shield getting clobbered so much
Cost like 120g each dungeon just to tank
Fuck this
indestructible on shield best tertiary 
Whenever you block, your shield loses 0.01 durability, to fix this let mobs hit you from behind from time to time 
keep in mind town vendors are cheaper to repair. If you use your mount its about 30% more
But you will take more damage if you get hit from behind
both are equally tanky
Slayer? Wrong spec
colussus i mean
which 2 slots are best to use embellishments? obviously wrist but for 2nd cant be cloak, there is a boots that boosts reshi cloak and we have that overcharged belt. which ilvl a new belt is better than that overcharged belt?
belt
of course a 720 belt will be better
when we talk about crafted we exclusively talk about GILDED btw
its fine to craft bracers with the free runed for now if you already used on shield and weapon
dont do runed on belt though
do you have shield and weapon?
read above
do you have myth track shield and weapon?
and/or a way to guarantee you'll get them this week
@left meteor
i feel like people are super resistant to make a belt because the DISC is still better than a similar ilv belt
what
Hey folks, quick question, I am on Prince Hm, and sometimes I can tank all the p1 tank buster just using cds, and sometimes i get overkilled with 40millions, any idea why ?
do you have a log
meow :3
you cant soak the same ability twice
but without a log, there's no way to know if that's what youre doing wrong
the combo has only a handful of combinations
Well You can, I just did
But sometimes, you cant
thats not the way the mech is supposed to go
thats why youre dying
do it correctly
because
For the sake of understanding
youre doing it incorrectly
do you want to understand why? link a log
it aint hard
cheat is likely proccing and/or you are reflecting 2nd vanquish
would be my guess as well

is this like when people would solo tank guardian in sanctum of domination
are yall doing the pull to first miniboss in 10+ ara pugs?
except... way more lethal lol
yes but you need to tell them to help with kicks
Pull number 3, Around 1 min, I take 2 stacks of conquer, and 2 stacks of vanquish, I don't die
if they dont, you communicated
yeah but they never help with kicks even when I tell them lol
I know how to fix it, i am just iching to understand
meowser
at a certain point tho it becomes less their fault and more my fault for doing the pull over and over again even tho it doesnt work
Right now, I am pulling the boss alone, and I can tank the 4 mechanics alone with Cds
a few message before, Sometime I can tank everything, sometimes i get overkilled by 40 mill
whats the tank buster on saladbar effect?
Can you explain without being condescending please ?
could be a mitigation drop or it could be doubling up on stacks
Is Beledar's Bulwark a worthwhile shield to craft? Or am I just lying to myself and should craft a normal shield with dawnthread
(At 720 ofc)
Do you use shield wall early and often or hold until ur actually hurting? Feel like sometimes I'm not even taking damage but don't want it sitting at 2 full charges
2 vanquishes, 2nd with wall and spirit link
no
everforged only
I don't like sitting on two charges of shield wall unless I know I'll need them both soon.
I prefer to keep a charge rolling
the reason youre surviving is what anda said, its heroic and youre loading up on externals and defenses and the unmit damage is lower on some cases due to soaks being done
@cedar walrus
that's about it
no externals + wall/sr = you die
What % uptime can you get with Shield walls?
less than last tier
Not gonna lie I have it sitting with 2 charges either my healers are hard focusing or I'm not pulling enough i guess
all devouring nucleus any good?
I just use sw on most pulls to smooth out the gather unless I know I'm gonna need both charges soon
Got weird interaction in raid tonight :
I fell below 30% HP, BSV procced but not the cloak, they fixed this ? I thought both proc in same time and thats why we dont take BSV anymore
That's the conclusion I reached as well, thanks for the proper answer
Shield wall is super nice at the start of a pull, I agree
and with how much CDR we get for it, it feels like a waste to just have both charges sitting around waiting
CD must be used when needed. I dont really care that both charges are up, i'm glad to have them when needed
if you have a specific need for it, sure. But if you don't, then just sitting on them is a waste
no they dont
we're not using 1hr cds
and our cds reset with AM and other talents
using it when capped on a big pull is good value
dont save defensives for the next key
they are there to be used regularly
Their cooldowns wouldn't be so short if they were only meant for a rainy day
Don’t want to fall into the trap of saving defensives for “better opportunities” and end up rarely or never using them
and a cooldown you save for the perfect moment will still get less value than that same cooldown used 6 or 7 more times
Heck, just getting one more use of a cooldown tends to pull more value than trying to save it for the perfect moment.

Ah if you mean in M+, yes
I was speaking in raid mb
yeah in myth raid your CDs are generally spoken for
in heroic raid? last tier those SWs were four seconds of avatar only
(slight exaggeration)
Is it okay to ask for vault gear choices in this channel? Like what people think is a better choice?
slayer or MT if i got 2p old set + 2p new set?
slayer??
colossus my bad :))
4pc old set with colossus would be better if you still have it
nah this is no longer the case
Sorry guys is this trinket any good otherwise will pass to other tank for ilvl boost
oh, what changed
maff
How do i deal with those mobs in ara last room to the sides? The ones that drop purple and slow u till u cant move
Can i do anything
Avatar 🙂
just care with itf
mid, it has a cheat tho if thats ur thing, but in general if you aren't worried about dying dont run it
I do but then they gib me after avatar ends😭
leap once, avatar once, get dispelled once
get dispeleld
or dwarf
or freedom
the real strategy is panick, get stunned then proc bsv and live
step 1: don't take bsv
step 2: don't get dispelled
step 3: die proud
Bsv, cloak , pop wall 😄 and get killed by the circle
or just leap
Oh whats bsv
Ahh
So I've got 4 set.. I hate MT - Can I realistically raid Mythic doing 0.5m less DPS than I would with a different hero tree.. Fuck
yes
your dps will not be the make or break for your boss kills
but if you like seeing big number... it won't be as big
My parsing goes to shit too I guess
(until inevitable nerf)
yeah, if you like parsing high, you gotta take the higher damage option haha
Looking forward to the nerf already, or rather the compensation buff
pretty doubtful it'll happen
if we get nerfed I doubt it'll be to thane, probably just ability tuning
didnt happen to colossus in s2 after the mini nerf
probably wont happen this time eithert
yeah I agree
I think blizzard likes the spot were in rn, so when theyres tank tuning itll probably be to bring the other tanks up
the mini nerf already happened with thane tier
yeah the 4set nerf a week ago
hey i just got my 4piece, anyone got a talent loadout for mountain thaine M+ (and one for raid)?
wowheard or icyveins guides
I've already had to solo the end of a couple bosses. Tank dps matters and you can't change my mind.
<@&257983573498265600>
If you did 500k less dps to the boss and as a result couldn't solo it, then you'd have a case. But chances are it would've just taken you longer to do it.
That’s what they said about me in college
of course all dps is important, but in most non-rwf mythic kills, no one is playing truly optimally anyway, and one player being sub-par is really really really rarely the difference maker
and in anything below mythic, it's not like you're gonna berate a player to switch classes because their current one is in the bottom half of dps rankings
So is tough as nails bad currently to use?
worse than basically every other use of the points
More or less, yeah
Which is a shame cuz it’s a fun idea
you have to path through a lot of meh talents to get to it
and it itself is pretty meh
they did remove the ICD on it with 11.2 iirc
yeah at level 58 it’d only do around 1.1k physical if i were to get tough as nails rn
Yeah they removed the icd and increased the damage but it’s still not worth
It’s in an awkward spot on the tree
oh do whatever you want while leveling
Leveling talents don’t really matter honestly
Scaling is so goofy everything pops like a blister
Or one shots you, no in between
Not really awkward for thane tbh, but the other options are just better
Well doing my leveling through dungeons I haven’t died since like mid 30’s
But I’d want to get my skills in order before 70
its very hard to die in leveling dungeons
Idk I find all nodes that lead nowhere to be awkward lol
Like the execute nodes, good but awkward
there's just very occasionally a mob that time forgot that's oneshotting for some reason
for the most part, impossible to die
execute nodes not being together is criminal
Some random dot that’s doing like legion damage numbers
Instakill
i mean my health is decent now so i don’t really see too many times I get low health but im still adjusting trying to use multiple keys lol
you need some level 10 arcane mages to fight back
So my rotation is awkward
Take your time habibi, this is a place where we stress over the minutia of max level content. Take leveling at your pace, pick talents you wanna play with, and worry about optimizing when you’re capped and comfy :)
I know I won’t be some cracked player like the ones who’ve been playing for years but I’ve been enjoying it so far tbh
Yeeee prot is fun. I like hittin dudes with a shield
thunk
between thunder blast and shield slam, what do I exaust first??
TB TB, SS, TB TB ?
Is there any videos on how to lead raids by chance?
been trying to do a pub raid but no luck lol
TB first
Blast, SS, Blast, SS
if capped especially
perfect, thank you!!
I know it’s not optimal but god sometimes you get them lucky procs and just go TB TB TB TB
The dopamine optimization is crazy
Raids aren't really a thing til max level
That explains why I was declined from one lmao
Btw when people say pull as tank it’s pulling aggro correct? From mobs or bosses
Yeah, they're telling you to get your ass in there
pull usually means starting the group/boss
get in there and piss those mofos off
Oh I’m always in there
but I wasn’t sure if regular taunt is enough
The 4 set says it has a 35 percent chance to call down a strike but I can go multiple pulls without seeing a proc is this just me?
Yeah depends on context, they might be trying to say that they've pulled other mobs by accident
and want you to save their asses
or they're trying to say "pull more"
you should have an AOE (area of effect) taunt called Challenging Shout too, as well
for the most part, you just hold aggro with damage, saving taunt for stragglers or something that a dps got aggro on
(or, later, tank swap mechanics in raids)
Yeah I don’t have that one on atm just regular taunt but I wasn’t sure if I should just swap to that instead of regular taunt
Ah
challenging shout is on a long cooldown so it starts off as an "oh shit" ability to force everything to attack you
like Harrow said, you abilities will usually hold threat for you. the AOE ones. (area of effect)
Yeah like thunder and revenge?
in max level content, you generally take the talent that turns it into an aoe interrupt for caster packs
yep
your basic rotation is just prioritizing shield slam > thunder clap > revenge
while keeping shield block up
Should I just save shield block for oh shit moments basically
I don’t use it like super often unless I genuinely need it at a moment I have like half health
correct me if wrong, but shield block should be ideally up all the time, no?
I usually just use ignore pain
yeah, shield block is the one you want to try and keep up as much as possible
well in that case I’ll be using it more often lol
Hello fellow pumpers, In raid I have the issue of swapping aggro from pali by dmg. Any experiences with this and how did u guys handle it
it should also buff your shield slam iirc
Is fueled by violence worth taking over brutal vitality btw? Or is that coming down to when I need to choose between thane and colossus
I’ll probably need to change one of my keybinds to have it closer then to use often lol
tell him to do more damage
go first so they get the benefit of your burst after the first taunt swap. if that's not enough, try and get them help to do better damage. if that doesn't work, i guess you have to hold back on damage. but that sucks
that is a good idea. check out a weak aura that tracks your Shield Block uptime, too! It helps me a lot
The thing is I randomly crit 70mill on shield smash so the burst is random
Sadly, this is not like ff14 where you can like...turn off your threat gen or anything.
If your fellow tank is struggling to hold aggro, or you're struggling to hold aggro on them
Oh well, sucks to suck
the difference between these two is very small and the better one changes every time they retune it for some reason. so don't stress it
maybe just watch the threat meter and be careful around 80%
Any idea of what a better tank would be to tank with?
Its not tank its player
all raid tanks are within like
500k of eachother
they just need to zug zug harder
Also gimping yourself for sake of not riping aggro is a realy weird and bad fix , probably best u can do is tell him to go to his class discord, post logs and learn to press buttons properly
bear is super easy
not dotc
but elune bear
the basic strategy when there is a big damage differential is that the high damage tank wants to use taunt when he bursts to maximize his aggro generation for the other tank to inherit, while the low damage tank wants to taunt as close to the tankbuster as possible to minimize chances of aggro ripping
70 million shield slam huh
link the log
just don't stand in the group on dimensius and then it doesn't matter if you rip
Yeah but it happens on every single boss
Any specific ones? Or just any weak aura mod should do
Ur not even doing that much dmg compared to him to be riping that hard ?
i ran a heroic for fun and this trink is my second highest damage, is this awesome or a trap lol
I just started using this one and i like it. tracks your shield block uptime + ignore pain shield amount remaining too.
dang, it does so mch damage in delves
itll get hit with the no tank trinket allowed nerf
I’ll def download that as well I just got one of the max dps helper mods as well so I can start being more consistent with my rotation
overall its the same, but i just rip it everyboss multiple times
if you are pulling off him every fight then he needs to switch to taunting right before his tankbusters instead of right after yours
damn... you have similar parses and yet there's a 500k dps gap on fractillus lol
nice, yeah man dont be afraid to sit on a target dummy too for a bit or even train in higher level delves for your rotation / watch youtube videos. I like YoDaTV he does some good tanking videos
Yeah well try that
https://medal.tv/games/world-of-warcraft/clips/kWbbOvmKeiDX6GLIo?invite=cr-MSxvcmIsMjI2NzIxOTQ2&v=7 wouldnt work here tho xD
Watch no tauunt by HermitTheKing and millions of other World of Warcraft videos on Medal. Tags: #worldofwarcraft, #shadowlands
which Embellishments should I use for 1hand crafted sword ?
ignore hekili ive only been playing for a few months
The visual clutter looks insane on his screen lol
i'm pretty sure dimensius is one of the bosses that doesn't have taunt DR so he should be taunting at 1s before the tankbuster every time so that the tankbuster comes out during the taunt fixate window
we had to do that last week cause i'm a prot war with tier and im tanking with a bdk without tier yet
I come to thine prot warrs with hat in hand and humbly ask: please provide your HoA routes lmao
I fucking hate that place
I’ve tried like three different route variants and they end up feeling like shit every time
Dammit yam that’s not a HoA route
sure lemme get you my route

it's prob not the best
It’s now my perma route ty
pull 8 during boss rp
Anyone know if streets/gambit loot is completely intermingled or if it's just certain items?
He has new four set tho, and im stuck on 2-2 xD
That would be because they’ve made the dungeon worse
sims have me going to verse haste gems T.T goodbye my haste/crit gems
I don’t remember Halls being quite this miserable
its seperated
Bro I got you
Give me like 5
Is it tho because I got the streets neck out of gambit
Ceaseless is siming lower then my Sacbrood or astral Antenna as my second trinket is that a sim issue or am I better off trusting the sim and sticking with sac
thank you
You got an Ornately Engraved Amplifier?
Or a Cabochon of the Infinite Flight?
Uh
I don’t remember bc I traded it but I do explicitly recall it was from the other side because we all talked about
Need some comparisons as I push j to higher keys with 4 pc as thane. How much damage should o be doing?
Some of the items are either dropping in both or are in the wrong dungeon though so that's why I was asking
e.g. both necklaces have dropped for me in gambit, despite one coming from streets. The offhand has dropped for me in gambit, despite coming from a streets boss
I am topping meters in a lot of pulls but that’s because I’m apparently playing with recently lobotomised damage dealers
How’s your overalls looking?
huh, weird. Not what it used to do but blizzard will be blizzard
I’m bad at the game so don’t use me as a reference
Yeah, I was wondering if maybe it was part of some of those itemization changes they did where they added some items to a couple dungeons
That’s actually close to what I pulled as colossus last week. I’m wondering if we should be closer to 3 mill overall.
I think I was like 697 there and it was a pretty cursed run overall so not truly indicative
I do like 3.5 mil as colossus (no 4pc yet 🙁 )
I’ve never been able to pump as a tank. Been called ass for it in pugs. So you’re not alone brother
Hell yeah
I don’t mind being bad, it means I have lots of ways to improve
Newbie gains
I did over 4M overall on HOA 12, but havent paid much attention for it
Nice 🙂

carry keys are wild rn
are the eviscerators on right side that much worse than the reavers on the left?
i hate right side bc people ass pull always
high risk
gotcha
Remember reading about this earlier today, this is not a "bad" trinket right (dps wise)?
Just no Tome/Pacemaker I guess?
I have 60 gildeds and a myth 1/6 tome... i think i know what to do
Its good rn cuz it procs off bleeds and isnt hit by tank modifier
what are the conditions for using Outburst on TC as thane again?
But, raidbots is not taking any of that into account I assume?
what are the best trinkets rn?
it does
which is why it sims so well
Tome, brand, pacemaker, mailmental
Is the mailmental not a like sim bait ?
hey fam! new to the server. curious about the disc belt. would a good stat myth track outperform it?
Yep
Sim to find out exactly when
just had a rogue do 9m overall in a +10 priory
highest I've seen this season
why can't all my groups be like that
What are we meant to do when our other raid tank has taunted off us? I’m close to ripping threat back just with auto attacks
Tell your cotank to figure out how to do more damage/also play a cool tank
Can BDKs not keep up with us well?
okay that's what i was thinking. too bad sims arent working right meow. i want to choose my vault. haha
But yeah we’re a step ahead of the rest
They work if you have simc installed
i do. raidbots says blizzard api is struggling
I think that only affects armory calls?
i cant even open simc in game to copy the stiring anymore
oh wild
update it, i had the same issue after the patch at first
guys, does it matter on what amount of rage we use execute in raid or not?
like arms that is 40>rage only
must do more dam
Woo!
nah it scales linearly
Dawnbreaker got hands
Nice job
what does lineraly mean
its like a line, but early
40 rage does double damage of 20 rage
This fucking guy
But I mean ideally you want to send on 40 rage for gcd probably
question, saw this trinket: https://www.wowhead.com/item=246941/symbiotic-ethergauze#comments
how good?
This green trinket of item level 610 goes in the "Trinket" slot. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: The War Within. Always up to date.
Pro tip: If you ever see a trinket with stamina, there's a 99.9% chance of us never using it
was wondering cause of the proc being on block, which is 100% for us
so if i spam execute on any amount of rage under 40 is ok?
Correct
Uhh I mean it's probably not the best idea though
It's the same damage per rage regardless
You don't wanna end up with nothing to press cause no rage
ty, i know when i'm safe to do it was just wondering since its the same execute as arms do we treat it the same but now i know we dont
Yeah, use caution; I had to adjust so I didn't fuck my SB usage by draining rage too fast with exe
its the healers fault if they can't keep up with you
I usually end up spamming exe>SB until I die or they die
IP is for the wind
Raid, M+, PVP. We brawling here
There's something satisfying about those times where you just sit there alternating between SS and Execute for a bit.
if a waist sims better than the disc belt we ditch right? I have floodgate hero belt that says it sims better
Yep
So last week I didn't craft a shield or weapon, and this week I want to craft one... Which is the better choice? For context current weapon is posted and current shield.
craft both
If I had the resources I would, but I am not particularly clever or good.
🙏
It was 3 for me 
how many was it last season? like 40 or some shit
49
every time you do a DH run, your drop chance goes down
lmao
im not gonna rush it, it'll burn me out more than i am already with splits lol
normal people doing splits… something’s gotta change
Splits aside, how’s the new guild going
Nice
god I haven’t mained dps for a season since like…… legion
That’s true
there’s usually like one fun tank fight per tier lol
I just hate trying to gear both
And even if I did no one I know is ever willing to take over the reigns
I’m extremely zen about raid tanking though
yeah i mean
Just pressing my little buttons and trying to parse while everyone else is learning or whatever
if I have two charges of thunderblast charged up, I should send one of them instead of using shield slam so I don't waste a potential proc, right?
correct
Should I trust sims on trinkets sacbrood beating everything except antenna for me
im confused
didnt you just say it was simming better than anything else except antenna?
tome should def sim higher, so yeah that's accurate
Sorry as my second trinket I got a myth tome
must be nice
Yeah sorry


If its like last season I also got a myth tome week 1 of M+ vaults then had like 3 misses on vaults after
well myth tier isnt a miss
so at least there's a high amount of getting that in the first weeks
depends on haste like always
i don't want to drop ITF but not sure if we just drop block and fucking explode
39% without ITF
that has to be more than enough right
rating
my health never budged on 13s from melees
What's the number
24.5k
24.5k should be more than enough
If you can keep up SB w/ ITF you're good
yeah you should be fine matta
The cloak boots or normal boots?
normal cloak boots
They're pretty good
shield does do a good amount of healing
More procs more shield so
Wouldn’t drop major ilvl for them but otherwise it’s gravy
yeah they equal to my other boots in ilvl
do we get a catalyst charge next reset?
5.3m dps in a floodgate 14
probably could go higher but
went BSV over massacre
BSV procced once so idk hm
who should get prio on sou lhunter boots? tanks, healers, dps?
Shoulder or trinket ?
I have 3p
Shoulder
Its myth track tier. trinkets worst case you can buy in .5 patch.
what should i craft next? i have 720 shield already
Bracers I would say
or weapon
Weapon more than bracers
Wowhead suggest bracers and belt crafting if you're fully optimized
yeah im not even close to optimized lol
Weapon less important than belt/bracers? really?
Sorry posted this yesterday but only got 1 response I think and still haven't chosen one... this is for Prot and I am currently 3/4 tier with no upgrades left to get 4/4 this week and have Hero ritual of mud trinket + hero secret technique trinket
ara kara no brainer or chest?
4p
How does colossus perform in M+ like 12/13 ?
Is it really that bad compared to Thane ?
If your concern is living, you're fine. It just does notably less damage
I hate sharpshooters and I hate obliteraters. For larger pulls like priory how do you like los them
You mostly don't and rely on your group not running off into the middle of nowhere for no reason
Hmm, so Incorpreal Essence Gorger is a delve trinket that -- isn't sold by the end of delve vendor?
Whatelse am I going to spend my coins on lol
only 12 ive done ive done as thane so donno
is that cos tank cloak effect still sucks?
... riiiight... so how do we LoS them /s
You don't
you face them either on the pull of suleyman
or after
you just hope everyone will come melee so they jump and
can be dps
why do some prots have ascendance crafted instead of dawnthread
barely matters
cuz they crafted weapon
Shield and weapon are first recommended crafts. Some folks want the small benefit of embellishments at the same time, and you can't put dawnthread on a weapon, so they put ascension
Is this tier supposed to be ''easier'' - ''faster paced'' ? It's only 2nd week of raid and people allready have 723 weapons and almost bis gear
Vault is shit. Was better when people had to clear multiple times shit to get a trink or w/e
what are the best prot M+ trinkets we should be going for?
We only did soulbinder and plexus on hc yesterday.
The logs are after getting 4p hehe (1st time raiding as tank)
do we have the soleah apl snippet?
i think i missed it
nvm its actually simming correctly now
except there's no indicator on which stat its set to lmao
yes
or raidbots
but thats not in this time
yeah in raidbots there was an option back then
i dont think they will tbh
they didnt do it with tome etc
maybe it just defaults to your highest stat?
hard to say without the report
which im working on right now
alright i see it in the report at least
why do i see logs of prot warriors using miniscule mailemental in an envelope? :p
cause it fucking owns
i see that
and procs from bleeds
why didnt i know
it'll get nerfed though
i mean if they nerf it it will be right after i get it
you just gotta make friends with casters
and i think hunters also get it but i could be wrong
healers dont, for sure
Realy? My hunt sold it the 5th time on hc cause noone needed it
hardcore, duh
No hero track
hc means heroic
i just looted a void pactstone which is simming about 1.8% higher than my Brand of ceaseless ire for aoe, should i listen to the sim or just keep brand on? my other trinket is the book from priory.
yeah cause it has to ramp right
alright lemme try 5min then
I got ire on champ track how good is this?
is there a lightweight addon to show item levels in character panel like it did when i used elvui?
you must be memeing
XD
every single time
i actually never even seen this pactstone trinket drop or ever knew it existed
maybe i should just go back to my natty nick
Mine looks like this hehe
i cant tell if im being trolled by people anymore
well yea its through text, hard to decipher sarcasm through text
i assume neither of you are trolling cause i would recognize your names from last season
and thats where it took me 49 fucking runs to get it
and never get a myth version
is recognizing my name a bad thing
i... what?
I got it in vault 1 reset after i purchased it through Dinar XD
last season, Mr Priory Count: 4 went through a great deal of struggle to try and get a tome to drop
folks who were around last season might remember that and make fun of him by saying things like
do you get it before the dinars were added?
"should i toss this good trinket the gods don't want you to get in favor of something worse"
ok but have you tried
i'm using pacemaker brand currently
maybe?
says person using two s tier trinkets on that list
well its right there with the stone
someone didn't recognize the power of the voidpact
idk, i think the original question is fair
"this trinket people think is good isn't simming well, what's the deal"
could be bad sim, could be situational, etc
most people wont know it needs the good ole Anvil/Cataclysmic/Kezan ramp up
it did sim higher on droptimizer than i thought it would before i had good trinkets
im sorry i triggered your ptsd @lusty grotto but i genually thought it was the alch trinket and i never noticed the 2 same icons cause i didnt pay attention to the c tier
now that you know
im never being serious about it
you can come back in the future and poke the sore spot on purpose
hope you get the book soon 👍
instead of by accident
"this stam trinket from delves looks good, should i toss my myth tome"
that sort of thing
the 46k stam one?
for real though, im using nethergate on my dh and it kinda slaps
oh god
maybe one day they'll change everything about tanking enough that stam trinkets are good
but not today
im almost at 20mil with that trink on
oh shit YES
I didnt know tanks chase specific gear like that haha
I just wear whatever highest ilvl cause Im just a meat shield 🤣
Tanks are like everybody else.
Their biggest upgrades are weapons, tier, and trinkets.
and we get excited when we get any of the three
there is no greater feeling than beating a dps in damage, and this tier it can happen fairly often
my personal vote for trinket I thought would suck but actually isn't horrible
I'm just shocked there are actual good tanking trinkets this tier. Usually, they're pretty bad
ethergauze is just like a very mid dreadplates
so its ok
its just far from the best
Ether has made pushing p damn easy. its absorbing about 65% of what my ignore pain is. and absorbing over double what my cloak is absorbing
I need my Ire. but this is p good in the meantime
its a full absorb, it'll drop fast
so the shield is pretty meh
its DF levels meh, and that was an expansion ago
a 3 mil shield is nothing
me: makes post about a trinket that has actually been performing. as 25% of overall damage mitigation that I have besides blocking
you: 3 mil shield is nothing
i wonder if at some point you'll have a positive thought lol
Im not sitting here going S TIER TRINKET GUYS SLEEPER
im like "oh this trinket is actually doing better than I thought it was"
you did say it made pushing easy, and that aint it
its not the trinket, its your gameplay
thats a compliment btw
Im fully aware its my gameplay. I'm simply saying that on pure numbers. the trinket is doing FAR better than I thought it would be doing
because you're right. a 3m shield really isn't anything in 12s
except its blocking over 200m damage a dungeon
which means its got a giga proc rate
🤷♂️
god i miss dreadplates
same
im trying to figure the stats for my crafted MH.. H/M, H/C, and H/V are all simming as sidegrades.. which should I choose?
this one
is there a point where you have too much crit?
im at 40% (23879)
its week 2, you got a lot of upgrades left
true
stats will shift around
ok, thanks
ive gotten 2 sackbroods and a pacemaker since week 1
what ilvl addon is that homie?
Like the entire char sheet?
ye just where u can see the item names + track + ilvl
Wago is being wago right now but it’s a weakaura called chonky character sheet
ty
is your name real, what about mastery rn
Is mastery a stat?
i think its a stat that only exists for casters idk
good thing i have 300 mastery
thats a ton
As long as we have enough haste to meet shield block uptime needs (about 22k with new 4set) it doesn’t matter what stats we have, they’re all good stats
You can sim your char to see which specific piece of loot is better at a given time
how much of a dps increase is 4p compared to 2p? currently 703 with only 2p, doing like 4m overall, idk if thats good or not
I don’t know the exact math, probably 12-15%
sounds like a pretty busted 4p since it can infinitely chain thunder blasts if lucky
It’s a pretty sizable increase because of how ionizing interacts, also ionizing strikes are a pretty big portion of single target
cant wait, quit raiding a while ago and started tanking, been pretty fun but miss having 4p prio xd
since then ive realized how boosted some dps players are
thoughts on the Antenna trinket?
Also, as someone mostly doing m+, getting it cant be worse than... I guess my alternatives are 4piece today instead of when i get 2k rating later this week
We switch from 4piece to 4piece right?
HOLY FUCK BROS I GOT THE PRIORY TRINKET
gratz
Understandable crashout
Got 4 set last night, spreading them cheeks and I’m ready to clap
I do NOT RAID. M+ only should or shouldnt we stack haste heavy into DR? is going past 20% wasteful if i can have crit or vers instead?
my record is 7 consecutive globals of thunder blast
We dont care about the dr until u hit 30%
That being said once u hit like 25k rating may aswell go crit
Just remeber there is no lvl haste that give you the sb uptime we had the last 2 teirs as tier set doesnt gice block, so u need to actually manage sb a bit
cloaks alr crit
what about crit DR?
running seaforium and priory trinket sends me fairly well into the 10% too
I dont like vers because you cant hit any lvl relevent for it to actually do anything, so personally i would just keep stacking haste and crit and not care about the others
But thats a personal thing
Theres no lvl of any stat thats going to make or break any lvl of content
Tankiness comes from play not stats
Damage comes alittle from stats but mostly its just play too
mobs cant kill me if theyre dead 💯
my biggest parse from raid night yesterday, on Naazindhri 
ok am I playing rotationally poorly or is this trinket just insane (+11 Priory)
thats with 4p?
yea
jesus the difference is insane, my shield slams are 2nd, only 2p
I'm still hitting it a lot!
U are pressing revenge too much, but that trinket does do damage
what i was about to say, barely hitting revenge in a key, been told thats how it should be idk
691 trink btw, dropped from LFR
but if you're capped on ignore pain and hitting max rage, you'd be revenging right?
or shield block ig
but yo, execute?
It is as thane, everything else is prio as thane
I'm running the more pillowsuity talents that don't take the exec buffs but I can prob move off those
U still press it, but it should.not be above ss
execute, tclap and ss is huge dmg for me at least, tho dont push very high yet so have a lot more leeway to press it lol
just farming 10s
would imagine you wouldnt be comfortable pressing execute that much in push keys
Hey, most Discords dont like this kinda stuff but can you guys give me some help/insight on my vault selection? I'm kinda new to prot, so not really sure
Nah got trinket nm and sticks in second or third place in my dps meter
I suppose it isn't somehow good trinket, right?
You can share your vault and stuff to see what can be the best for you
i have to choose between myth track egg / mast crit shield, can someone give me some suggestions 🙁
Man I haven’t had any luck with any rings dropping. Had two drop from streets, crit/haste today but didn’t get them
This is my vault
