Idk ur mum likes them
Incomprehensible without context I love it
Is this a cryptocurrency graph
yeah
Where do we hodl
yeezy coin
BUY THE DIP
I just make everyone drop their shit as far back into the cubby as possible and pull him out for sinlights
Just tell them why they’re wrong. Prove their stupidity. Or punish them.
When dps in my group kick my reflect like on last boss in psf I shadowmeld on last few % 
If people drop where I’m going tough shit for them
nono, "most tanks bring him to the middle"
i'm like how fucking SHIT are the tanks your'e playing with brother
“Most tanks” can eat my ass find another tank then habibi
precisely my approach
I move that stained glass piece of shit all over the fucking courtyard
If the dps aren’t being forced to move it’s wrong
Ruin their entire psyche
i'm legit dropping pools in other pools and i'm the bad guy
Is wrecking throw ever pressed if it's not on a shield?
xDxDxD
It’s literally such a simple dance but people are silly goobers
not talented even
No
Thanks
only place i can see it being remotely useful is like eco dome?
idk what else has shields lol
I do the cubby stuff btw and drop pools on pools
But if someone gave me grief you best believe we are going on a field trip
Streets Oasis boss has a shield, uhhhhh
It is satisfying to drop pools on pools
I've just copy pasted the raid talent and it has it, I usually only m+ on warr but we're missing a tank
its used on a few things in raid das it
When u go left in tazavesh and you're crossing that bridge with the guy who drags you in
and also its the best button to press when your ranged so
A healer once gave me sass and said "I have the power here"
there is that
Yes it is longer range than charge
So I ran around everywhere so he had to run non stop
I use it specifically on people who get MC’ed on Nexus King
We have all the power, comrades
We had a hunter get MC’ed P1 last night and the game made him lust
It was… something
Lmfao
Did it lust the boss?
Like did he just start turbo blasting because that would be sick as hell actually
It was sick on Jaina when you lust she ice block
lol
Well, as im not mythic raider i went for 720 shield for easier tanking and made it with crit lining. Do we have any diffrences for crafts for m+? Or just making wrists with another crit lining is safest option?
I went shield (crit lining) -> weapon -> bracers next I guess
That was my 2nd idea for 720 1h as 2nd craft and just opening every vault in fury. Btw is there any other crit haste weapon outside the raid? Or its just from nexus king or other stats?
Crit haste weapon in Streets and Dawn I think
Also, if you no longer care about 1h weap from vault, open it in Arms in stead. Fury can still get 1h (or, maybe that changed? Didn't play S2)
Oh right. I always mess up which spec gives 1hs and which does not. Wasnt really war player for long 😄 thank you
Very true. We're just another class spec, not dungeon navigators or bricked let tourist guides
one terrible solution to tank responsibility anxiety: all dungeons are on rails
all violet holds forever baby
Ingame mdt with a default route are good enough rails I think
yeah i'm interested to see how far they go with building replacements for common addons
Im really fan they finally delve into it, they can even make it work across each other, you create on icon by just clicking on the trash abilities on this trash mob dungeon journal
same but interchangable
with exception of if done on fullscreen map the effect is larger and lasts longer, 30/60 seconds
guys intervene have any good utility in m+ this season?
not really
thats why our recommended specs are going full storm bolts
one day we'll get safeguard back
Is it worth increasing the cd of stormbolt?
for an aoe stop?
Guess that’s a fair point
i dont see why the increased cd is a bad thing
not like your chucking storm bolts left and right anyway
I ass thinking in terms of DR if it stuns a mob you don’t need to be stunned
Yeah true
right, so increased cd works in favor of not having a very fast DR
if you find a dungeon where you don't want to stun more mobs, you can just take the intervene talent without intervene
Storm bolt gcd = dps loss
Imho if they made something like build in mdt that will also highlight mobs in gamr for you that are supposed ti be part of pull, that could help
Even more if it contained some smart warning like " are u sure to pull those together ? There is heavy aoe" etc
Did you read the talents
You use heavy repercussions when you don’t have enough haste to maintain SB uptime
Into The Fray results in more damage and rage generation if your haste is already high. Heavy Repercussions makes shield block 100% uptime trivial to achieve regardless of your haste. The specific damage difference varies a great deal depending on your current stats
You'd have to sim the two to see the difference
holy
24k should make ITF very safe
21k-22k is a ballpark for when you can switch without meaningful sb gaps
They can still happen though, you do need to be more intentional with when you press SB when you're on ITF
HR is true brain off
oh, americanism that just means "rough, nonspecific number"
I’m at 17k haste and it’s a lil more sketchy with ITF but I still do it
Damn that can’t feel good
ITF is ~6% more damage and rage
Guys, do you have a weak for Spell reflect? that calls it so the DDs dont kick in
than HR
its fine
dear god... someone start a haste gofundme for nim
if only shit dropped lol
ITF isnt more SB uptime
It will be ignored tbh
time to do some gambit for a neck nobody will trade me cause it wont drop for me
only time HR is better is if you cant guarantee more than 1 stack aka 1 target no melee friends
yeh
that's smart, a lot of people go straight to ITF with low haste or low familiarity with dungeons and die lol
with your massive amount of haste
you aint trading anything
ye thats when you HARD stop
like HARD HARD
yeah
at 19-21k is when you are bing chilling
should ideally be already balanced out at 20-22k crit there aswell ye
max profile seems to have 14k crit and 20k haste, 10k vers 10k mastery
so like
fucking just have haste
and rest is yolo
ye
right, im just sayin that what the simc profile has for ST damage
sims do be simmin
?
you mean parry value
yeye every stat DRs
theres no time frame
so idk what you mean, you can infinitely parry back to back to back
its just mathematically unlikely
but there is no system in place to prevent that
might be a dumb question but w/e. Does execute cleave at base without the heavy handed talent?
nope
no
yes
the more youre being meleed the better parry becomes
or rather
no yeah
the more often youre being hit, the better parry becomes
it sucks vs 1 target
is amazing vs 10
enemies dont have parry haste anymore
why does the wowhead guide specifically mention 6 targets when its talented?
oh i see
thats all it is
who ddosed eu servers
was it @tribal wharf
bannable offense
I summon the lord
OUT
yogi's using a gamecube to ddos europe
im literally just spamming IP is that bad haha, i have a scroll on Shield Block and IP (with shield slam) and i just scroll up and down on everything as if i was playing guardian druid
its terrible as colossus
as thane its more playable, not advised to do but less of a detriment
should I go 2P2P as MT in M+ ?
idk do you want to thunderclap mob bussy or hide behind your shield
i'm just asking if new 2P damage is better than old 4P damage or not
I think you gotta sim
At the beginning of the patch we said 4pc for 4pc but now I think it depends on your stats and how many upgrades you’ve gotten
Any suggestion on how to use the Unyielding Netherprism (Fractilius drop) trinket?
When should we switch from col to Mt? Thoufht it only when you have 4pc
Probably just use it with Avatar as Thane or Demolish as Colossus would be my guess
im gonna take the bait, but yes at 4pc on AOE or at 2pc on ST
so since you dont raid
the answer is at 4pc

That isn’t even you
More floodgates nim
i wonder how many ive done
I got dimensius trinket. Is it any good?
im actually doing keys for fury sadly, gambit is like #1
my neck is so bad
and doing dawn right now cause i need a fury ring and a helm
@night scroll This is where you can learn how to tank
Don't believe him. We have no idea what we're doing here
zug zug
if only
ANYTHING DROPPED IN THIS FUCKING GAME
i might just ragequit into dune or something
So either Nim is your one friend, or you don't consider Nim a friend. Which is it?
and i get invited to groups, i port, people leave
We played on different servers
retire have a queit life
idk what blizzard has my character tagged with that its completely banned from getting loot except after an x amount of runs
yeah sure
Stores are putting Halloween decorations out, it’s time
Hocus Pocus this shit and let’s get some gear
i wish i could just die in the key, that helps with loot
wait he got a point
die on every boss for good measure
then the game knows u need help, so gives you gear

Undeniable
true
You’re a blacksmith

yer a blacksmith 'arry
It’s true
All these weird things have been happening to me
Being a blacksmith is the only explanation
Did you ever make anything happen when you were hurt or scared?
Yep
Definitely a blacksmith
I’m an endangered animal. I live life scared
Your mailed invitation to the Smogforts School of Bellows and Forgery confirms it

Lmao
We really have some sick lore getting started here
Bet we could write a 7 book series

When housing comes out we can make our wing of the neighborhood Smogforts
Yeah except I'm doing 21 movies instead. I've learned that any 400 page novel can be made into 3 movies (coughHobbitcough)
lol
so spamming IP is bad as thane? i dont revenge other than if it procced a free one
breh
Just had my first key where 3/5 wanted to leave but 2/5 didn't so we were all sat there hostage, very poggers
how about 7 books, 11 films, and a tv series tho
you should spam it, but on purpose, don’t macro it into something else
And a theme park
also you don’t need to pay attention to revenge procs at all, basically meaningless
Yeah im spamming it on purpose, I have it macro with Shield block (as in shield block is after the IP) and I just scroll wheel
don’t do that, have separate binds for each, and know when you should push them
for IP it’s basically any time your rage bar is >70
That's the recommended macro
no it is not
where is that macro recommended?
You may be confusing shield block and shield slam
shit you're right
ah yes i am
Its Shield SLAM with IP sorry
thats the macro i have, and i just spam IP which sometimes triggers my Shieldblock too, and never use revenge other than if it procced
ignore revenge proc, just press it when you have an open gcd and literally everything else is on cd
you dont do that espically as our SB ptime has reduced this season u need to actually manage it a little bit
u cant just send it whenever
Dont do what exactly, sorry im not following
don’t mash shield block constantly with a scroll wheel
no yeah thats me confusing the names sorry jakey haha
I mean my IP triggers my Shield Slam
lerler in here messing with our minds
Im sorry haha
huh
Well, to a point you have to as thane
Because you generate a buttload of rage and you don't have time to press revenge with SS and TC/TB off cooldown so often
yeah thats what i was thinking
But you should still be aware of when you're spamming it and why
So it's definitely not a brain off kind of thing
Oh yeah i do kinda stop when i can execute altho i took away the execute talents LOL
so all you’re trying to do is… press something every GCD (cds > ss/tb > tc > revenge), never overcap on rage, and keep sb up always
if you ever spend so much on IP that you can’t revenge or execute and everything else is on cd, that’s when you’ve spammed it too much

but yeah, most of the time, you gotta spam lol
i was checking wowanalyzer (altho its not updated for this season) and it said i was messing up melee uptime!!
which is crazy
Nice man
i wish i was pushing
instead of running these dogshit 10s for loot that doesnt exist
i find it so hard to actually start pushing keys because i get overwhelmed learning the keys lol
but i do kinda wanna go in knowing every pull is my dilema
Don't do that
thats just never going ot happen
Just W the lower keys for a bit and get a feel for where everything is
your already over thinking stuff
you learn by practice
before u begin
this aint raiding
thats the fastest way to fail
There's a ton of resources for routes
im pretttttty dumb tbh, but ill use Quazzi routes and make small changes
Going into a key knowing every pull, as a total beginner, is like going up to a piano for the first time and expecting to play Chopin
You'd learn where the keys are, the fundamentals, first
Same logic with keys, with anything in life really
ya but you should follow a good route tbh dont go in there blind xD
Going in blind on lower keys is fine though tbh
what constitutes a good route?
since DF
If you go in blind you learn what works and what doesnt, that's how you learn
what do u mean ?
Are you saying learning before going in will lead me to fail?
easy said follow a good route, how do u know one route is a good route
not going left in priory
anyone with a nice route for street of wonder they can link? 🙂
compared to another
Yeah i think i over think a lot
press w
There comes a point when u just gotta try things out, reading gets u only so far
That's true
just pick a route
I know routes now for like only 5 dungeons haha ive not done a single eco/ hoa / tavesh
Go into a key, fuck up a bunch, identify what you're fucking up and then u have a way forward
Record vods of your runs if you can
Just open MDT click some reasonable packs close don't do so much click a bit until boss and then maybe change a pull here or there to get 100% is what I do mostly idk
but as a tank u kinda do have to know no?
okay ill send it
the only u thing u need as a tank is to not die and press w
u can just make count at the end if needs be
Enjoy being bad at something! It's a great excuse to try crazy ideas
You can type "sorry im new" after
You're IMMUNE brother
Embrace it
in low keys people (maybe including you) are gonna ass pull anyway
and you’ll handle it just fine
The ass pulling never stops xd
Wish I could pull some ass
What triggers me more is little pets pulling pats from narnia
And people kicking 3rd boss in HoA
ass pulling is eternal
you gotta wait until the homies go by
pets dont pull unless you pull 1st
While combat they pull
once a pet class gets into combat their pets stop being invisible to mobs
yes thats exactly what i said
I mean when we fight and some pets stand a bit back they sometimes aggro pats
Ele shamy has some spirit that has like 100 yards cast or we
ive seen those fuckers run to africa for some reason
Yeah xd
i love ppl pinging mobs that i should pull buddeh if u wnt to choose the route play a tank
im getting very annoyed tho, every fucking streets i end up with .56% left to get, every fucking dps % we need % tank %. YES DUDE I CAN SEE IT MYSELF, killing 1 mob is faster than kill 3 fuck sake
they go get some oj, milk and ciggies
engage brain for 2 seconds
jakey lol
i did a dawn like 2 keys ago
where the group just left
the cath
and they never came back

I am also fed up with people telling me how to tank bosses and what ever it's just just roll tank dude
and i was like "oh can you guys link route"
they never did
so i went "well who do i follow"
Lmao xd
and this rsham just started pulling shit
that is probably the first time thats ever happened to me
That's why I just share my route even in trashy 10s
its like they decided to do their route and just discard what i was gonna pull
without saying anything mind you
some boss strats are more solidified than others. Any specific one you're getting flamed on?
Meh was just this boss last boss on gambit he was like spam pinging the corner for the assassin to spawn in I just think it's like not needed adds die so fast and our healer has to run through the whole map for the soak
But we was writing in chat what is this shit positioning
He was*
Kinda obnoxious
the SL corner
That barely makes a difference man, they spawn so close anyways and if you kick them why does it matter
DPS will care about shit like that but ignore everything else
Do people actually use their mic’s in pub dungeons? Like from my whole journey from level 1 to now 71 I don’t think I’ve used my headset once in any dungeons
no
Do they in pub raids
no
Most ppl you played with in this dungeons probably had children running behind them screaming and they were watching YouTube videos while in the dungeon with you
pugs generally don't and friend groups are just on discord
Sorry just to ask, about to craft a shield. Darkmoon ascension on shield is correct embellishment? and either duskweave or dawnweave on a wrist?
nah
is it okay for me to sim 5m5t for dungeons?
if you're a DPS not slamming shitty trance are u even gaming
what is correct embellishment / missive for shield ?
dusk/dawn
buff sword embellishment if you have that crafted
but that embelish will move
if you can get a myth track shield
since myth track > gilded
but that doesnt mean you dont craft it btw
i don't mythic raid so i'm just optimizing these items to start and will swap shit around later if my guild decides to carry me xD
me? yeah my gear is ass overall but i'll just recraft if i have to later
okay what stat did your ascension give u randomly in your top sim tho?
but its whatever, you can just recraft yea
cause if in the sim it gives u crit, it will favour other stats else where
yeah thats a big point
i think it cycles multiple over the course of 5 minutes, or does it last forever against a raid boss
in any case i'm not overally concerned cuz my vers was poopy and any DR makes pugging slightly more comfy imo
but its fine i guess
well mayb eless i dont know how much vers equates to 1%
I have raid tonight. I wonder if my crew can clear normal this week 😂
so put duskthread or dawnthread on shield and then the other one on wrist ? (sorry for questions, trying to wrap my head around all this, it's my first full season)
well regardless i was just showing the dude a crafted item option xD
appreciated it
no, do you have a myth weapon?
I have crafted sword from last season :/
then upgrade that
forget about bracers until next spark
bracers are very minor in comparison to both shield and weapon
so i have 12.31% vers which is 9.6k rating, so that's 779.9 rating per 1% from 0-30% and then 10% more every 10 or whatever it is
which disappears on a key up
ya i'm not trying to argue "build vers" just more as a point of info
Okay thank you 🙂
@lusty grotto game good yet?
Appreciated all help and advice, many thanks
same old
Wild that sims wants me to change cloak fiber to vers, im already under 19k haste 😄
just don't and be like 'i can't play as gud as sim' and add haste
what are the best craft slots if i have both myth track weapon and shield?
Anyone know if the shield is worth to craft this season? And if so which one?
sims will put you under the required haste cause they do a perfect rotation
so take that always into consideration
So just do perfect rotation
you will always need at least, and i mean that: at least, 1k more than sims as a bare minimum
true
the same one
and yes
shield > weapon > embelishments
Graci!
everforged, just bring that one up if you crafted it in prev seasons
Didnt know if beladar was worth it.
Well, does it matter what type of weapon do we craft? Im going to craft 1h after i crafted shield and i don't know if it changes anything.
Any WA that announces spell reflect dmg?
it never has been worth it
no you can craft any
just make sure it has strenght lol
Haste/crit im assuming?
right
Also i have little dungeon question, well do we have any other ways then freedoms from paladins or avatar to escape this root from mobs in arakara in last boss room? Im trying to learn rpot again and well today it was hell on that for me
As a heads up, this apparently can drop your FPS!!
Spell Reflection damage https://i.imgur.com/eCNXsnr.png
careful that WA drops FPS
Does it? Very good to know!
I haven't had any issues with it, but I'll keep an eye on it
Edited the OP to make sure to warn people in case they click blindly
Do you know of one that doesn't drop FPS nim?
Would you guys recommend Prot to DPS players? I've seen Prot is doing really well and doing a lot of damage so I was curious 😄
Prot is a great dps spec for sure
You'll notice that certain meta dps specs will out-shine you
But every now and then you find a horrific dps player that you stuff in a locker
Prot best DPS spec
That sounds good ahah. I've been wanting to play a DPS but I don't enjoy the long queue times so was curious if Prot was a good alternative to combat the queue times
Is that AoE or Single Target?
Either way that's crazy hahaha
iirc it doesn't prevent you from leaping so you can dodge one cast that way
but besides that and avatar, you're just wanting to get well timed dispels from your healer
That's overall in a Halls of Atonement
Full dungeon
when the team interrupts loyal beasts and you can freely blast
Did they stealth nerf prot s damage
Yeaah, still i somehow got it messed up. Im trying to find ways for stupid stuff like this. Today was a great day cause i got hero sacbrood, crafted shield +1h with 720 and got my hands on 4set so im preparing to tank something above 7s and i don't want to get random 1taps lmfao. Im trying to find weird things like this. Cause i dont know if its me rolling defs or some dungeons have more magic damage or something cause i feel immortal in some and then i go to aldani and i think like im running with half broken armor lol
the arcane slashes or whatever there are brutal, want to watch for those
no
Tell me more of this mythical parallel universe where such things happen
Is there no pin for crafted gear? Wowhead best source?
shield > weapon > embelishments
We going for shield/jewelery?
unless if you can guarantee myth tracks on the first two
Ah okay so we do go for weapon
after shield, yes
Do you know the weapon embellishment ?
it doesnt matter
cause youll replace it after with proper embelishments slots
so whatever sims the highest
how do i get my last spark? i ran entire normal raid and did 34 mythic +.. it is still 3/4 ? how do i get it
Spark comes from weekly quests pretty sure
Yes
Hey,
short Prot Question. What would be the prob best 720 crafts?
shield has highest value, weap for swag
<3 thanks
its like 10 lines up
not for swag, weapon increases the damage of your abilities
big damage = big agro
fair
you do the weekly from dorn, the arathor girl, also the weeklies from karesh have more of a chance to spark then the old content
are you on catchup?
or do you mean this week's half?
cause arathor lady gives it out guaranteed
yeah, the quest that gives you a choice of four, that’s the one for the new spark fragment
yup


where is this lizard coming from
Funnee maymay
am I doing raiding right
needs more Thunder
Execute does more DMG to the three targets it hits than another ability does to 6 targets.
But, not 7, there it drops off.
That's what that execute prio means iirc
Yes, cause the DMG on three of those 6 is higher than a thunderclap on all 6
we're even worse than ret?? close the discord boys
Ehhhhh there are 7 players to beat/sabotage still
Let's say execute does 300 damage per target to 3 targets, for 900 total damage. Then let's say Thunder Clap does 100 damage per target. That would mean it only does 600 damage to 6 targets, which still has Execute 300 ahead
Execute isn't hitting every target, but it's still doing more total damage
Hence the higher priority
this is the part I think is causing me confusion personally
That reminds me of what my friend Nyt always ays
*says
yes
exactly
thats where my brain is glitching
it makes no sense otherwise
on 3 targets it would be the same prio as line 7
8
Just learned this season is the final one of the expansion. No final fourth yolo season. 😮 I guess midnight is pretty close.
Yeah they’re trying to speed up the release cadence
And legion remix is lining up pretty well to take the place of Fuck Around Season anyway
I feel like Doot is trying to answer us, Tom the kitten
It's just taking a while
But I have faith
Hm?
doing hc fractillus on my alt tank, we wiped 3 times in a row because the monk tank doing 450k dps with 695ilvl was losing aggro to my undergear tank, and i was the one to got kick
dumb question. if shield wall is on cd for both charges, do both the charges get reduced cd time from anger management
Nah, one at a time
I'm one of those people who kind of fixates on weird side notes in sentences, so maybe I'm just the odd one here but I think it's kinda funny that we received the dps and ilvl of the co-tank you were running with but your numbers were left out
I forget guys whats our hand stop point for haste
679 bear, 1.5m dps
Hard stop? Like 26k
Yeah at 27 need to hard stop LOL
It’s not like it’s harming you but if you simply you’ll see bigger gains from other stats
Yeah true
is just with what gear I have now
will change as I push towards 4 set as big sad still not have
Until we receive an expert's opinion on the matter, I would correct the last line of that priority list to read "Execute at fewer than 3 targets"
It's so far down the list anyways I doubt it would have much of an impact on our damage even if I'm wrong, but if I am leading you astray I apologize in advance
i lost the focus, does Sudden death worth it on m+ with execute build or are u guys playing with Bloodborne?
Question: if I get B-tier trinkets (or lower), should I keep them just for the sake of being raid trinkets or yeet? for example, the Perfidious Projector (from Nexus King)?
You’re a perfidious projector
What do you mean by keep? Like keep them in your bags? Use them?
bag
Are they simming worse than what you have?
I have a Brand of Ceaseless Ire (S), an Astral Antenna (A), and was considering taking the myth track ara-kara sacbrood from vault despite being A tier
since the antenna sometimes needs me to move, thought it might work nicely with the brand, or maybe I could wait it out and spam priory for the tome? got some tier pieces I can upgrade on other vaults
don't take the tier list so seriously, sim it if you want to minmax but you could also just leave brand and antenna on for the entire tier and i doubt you'd ever regret it
both those trinkets are amazing
so, no sacbrood?
sacbrood is good too but you can only run two so...
sac is myth track though if I take it
other two are 704 champion upgraded to the max
ya but you can just go farm them at hero track
personally i would only take the sacbrood if you have nothing else good in the vault
take it
mostly hc tier upgrades, other myth option was blegh
witch are the best talent protection warrior in m+?
Why are some of the top prot warriors on Archon running Mountain Thane while still wearing S2 four piece. This is for keys.
I assume it's a 5 stack with far more intricate CD management than I muster with my pugs. But I was curious if MT is just out performing Col even without the season 3 four piece.
60 - 70 dungeon runs, 25 of which specifically targetting helms, inviting plate wearers and even asking the mt oupgrade their helms to 3/6, and still no helmet. rocking season 1 helm still.
Season one helm? So what, 636?
good morning is there a softcap for haste for prot warrior? for like shield block?
~21k ish is enough to switch to Into The Fray with good enough block uptime
Archon and sites like it can produce self-reinforcing results — they see top tanks playing thane, decide they should too, regardless of what gear they have
if race to world first ends this weekend we getting thane nerfed prob Tuesday
Colossus prob be the best spec
Soon again
Yeah ngl I actually prefer colossus myself but even I cant deny those ionizing blasts are insanely strong
I don’t even have 4p yet, I want to play this busted thane at least a little
Then they can nerf it and I can colossus
there are softcaps but we ignore them, up to 25kish
It’s actually crazy in my opinion I do as much as some dps
anyone using this?
I can confirm its doing crazy damage but I expect this to get nerfed?
And if blasts are triggered back to back I can’t deny it’s fun. Sometimes got like 5 blasts back to back lmao
dont need to confirm
doesnt appear to have the tank damage 30% redux on it, and its not on our loot table
cant rip my iphone
Is that that mailman trinket I keep hearing about
sigh
apb out here making a summoning circle for nerf demons
liquid about to
question about ignore pain, is it highly recommanded to use it or it's secondary? i'm noob as tank and i'm having trouble to use it probably due to lack of practice
I mean blizzard should just make trinkets feel good
you use it at 70+ rage, your main mit is Shield Block
Rather than hoping they don't nerf one they accidentally made good
apb, race is about to be over
“feel good” = “does a lot of damage” right
don’t they prob need to move lust out of p1 to get this
feels like there’s still some prog to go here
Yes
so go as close to 25k as possible okay
around that mark, can be above or lower depending on how your SB uptime is
If I have low haste do you guys think colossus may just be better to run
Like imagine u had 14k haste
My crit is high as hell
I think I’m just swapping to colossus until I get more haste
sorry , season 2
can someone settle a debate for me please. How would battle scared vetteran work (assuming you are at 100% hp) ? 1) you take a hit that would take you below 30% health and the entire hit is reduced by 80%. 2) You take a hit that would drop you below 30% health, you take 70% of the damage and the last part is reduced by 80%. 3) It will only trigger on the next instance of damage once you get the buff.
I believe its 2 but I could be wrong
2
if you're just looking for excuses to play colossus you have my blessing
i'll write some nonsense math on a whiteboard
but i dunno what you're thinking would make col better than thane at low haste
Just cuz colossus gets 10% more crit damage
And I’m at like 34% crit without trinket buffs and crap
And like colossus feels better at lower haste
can sim the difference, just gonna be hard to beat thane 4set right now
Ya
Wait, we're being nerfed? ;~; I just got four set and started to love Mountain Thane, and now we're getting shanked again?
Na no nerfs announced
thane damage in st is gapping the other tanks so we would not be shocked
I was just making a joke kinda if race to world first raid ends we prob will get hit with nerf
but it's not a sure thing either
Yeah, we gotta stop being so chill. Paladins would be boycotting Blizzard and shitting on the table if there was talk of nerfing them.
you're right, we should be just as embarrassing as paladins
Nah, we just shouldn't be inviting nerfs our way lmao
"Oh yeah we are doing too much damage, def not surprised to a see a nerf headed our way come Tuesday"
it's completely outside of my control and won't actually affect my life very much either way
ergo, i choose to be zen
Should be more like, "I think tanks across the board could use some help."
We're in a good spot, no changes required. About time warriors dunk on those Illidan cosplayers after three seasons. 😎
It’s not even anyone inviting anything lol the graphs are all out there and the community already knows we do most dam
The data is all done
Irrelevant
The community's conversation would do all of the shield icons a lot more of a favor if the conversation was about buffing
As opposed to nerfing
lol
It's like the status quo is just set in stone and we're chill with it. Pwar doesn't need a nerf. Other tanks need a buff
We already have people of all tank flavors complaining about threat
So let's invite a nerf to pwar
Silliness
i don't think our little posts in our little discord have much of an effect on anything haha
I mean you make a good point, seriously. Nobody enjoys struggling for agro.
Yes I was just typing this
You never know, some Blizz intern could be lurking here and taking notes.
I think it's very probable that the class discords are listened to in some capacity
yeah its safe to assume so
lol
yeah, just... they don't act on our feelings
it's just one note of feedback
i'm down to blame apb for anything and everything
I am TUNING MASTER
Nerf actually would be good because would bring more balance to our hero specs. Thane still overturned
I may have to challenge you to some fisticuffs, apb.
It is done. I have spoken.
Maybe they should buff colossus so it's playable instead?
it's playable now
buff all other tanks
it'd be like you were playing one of the other tanks
but...
According to Archon we aren't even that far ahead.
dotc bear also claps
Yah honestly can be fine to just leave it all alone
does anyone know what the best weapon to craft is? is there a difference between 1h axe, sword, mace? And what embellishment would be best for m+?
why are you saying that like colossus has been top dps for expansiosn?
no cosmetic and just get dawn/duskthread linings on 2 slots
feels like 1guying
bruh colossus did rly good dmg last season, now thane doesa bit more
should i not put an embellishment on weapon for now until we get more sparks?
oh you dont say?
salt machine
how are we trying to develop stereotypes of hero spec players when these things have existed less than one expansion
This is what blizzard wants. Us at each other's throats
now do single target
i want to run for president so i can outlaw archon
lmao
lmao u guys need to touch grass
pot calling the kettle black
waaa wee waa my hero spec is slightly behind the other warrior one and in line with every other tank
I haven’t left my house in 7 years
what are u even yapping about
imagine thinking thane is some hot shit when its the same playstile we've had since BFA
what are YOU even yapping about
im guessing youre done
be tribal bout thane elsewhere
this aint the thane channel
its the prot warrior channel
so deal with it
werent you the one starting the discussion saying your hero spec isnt good enough
oh you keep going
you cant defeat me ratboy
hmm
idk feels like youre just slinging random shit so i would say i did win
if we were actually taking archon seriously, the gap is insane
however
can't really draw ANYTHING from 31 colo parses
just means every serious player is aware that thane is the pick
certainly not the dps meter

no its me
I mean mastery is still our weakest stat no?
Am I mistaken?
And we have several pieces this seaon with it on them
a lot of seasons, the big mastery steroid is the best dps trinket
partially because we usually end up with pretty low natty mastery
anyway, simming your own character is prob gonna give you a more accurate picture
right that has been the case in literally every season
even in DF
trinket with on use mastery = good
case in point: grim batol trinky, house of cards last season, even AA trinky in DF
its a chunk of AP
on a usually 1:30 cd, which perfectly align with our cds
I will become the world #1 colossus warrior
you do you apb
I will be the change I want to see in the world…… of Warcraft
i believe
I believe in you
You’ll be both first and last because no one else will be playing it
In all seriousness though I don’t think it’s far behind
It isnt
Demolish still feels 🤌
I will be the greatest as soon as I Get home

On the one hand, I love thunderclap. On the other hand, I know how it feels to have your favorite hero talent not be the one that's meta
it's one of the reasons I left blood dk behind
Sanlayn sucks and I hate it.
Hello at what % of haste (without Into the Fray) i can drop HR please ?
well, 31 is a large enough sample that you can start to use normal statistical analysis on it, even if its not large enough to be accurate
Thanks dude
brand is kinda stupid ngl
holy wtf its that good?
its really, really stupid
other tank should taunt right before getting knocked and then get back in asap
was part of some jank fix to try to stop 1tanking i believe
Anyone with 4 set and still sticking liking/simming collusus
finally saw my first deserter tag
Hey, just wanted to ask some questions I'm pretty new to Prot and I feel like raiding and ST rotation is ok but everytime I go into M+ I feel like I end up having empty GCD's even tho I'm keeping up Shield Block and ignore pain so idk, would love to hear some tips or if this is just normal
My other question is in regards to Shield Charge, I see a lot of people put it near the beginning of their opener casting it very soon after shield block and I don't see how that makes sense since I personally thought it was better to delay it to then have more upkeep on Shield Block but I might be wrong.
Having something to press every GCD is more important than having IP uptime
Most of the time, just press IP when rage is high to prevent overcapping and you'll be using it enough
Makes sure you always have rage left in the tank to press revenge if everything else is down
Ok so when nothing else I press revenge and IP is just for overcapping
I was constantly trying to track IP+SB to have them on at all times
like max IP shield
Yeah - making sure you have buttons to press gets you more shield slam resets, so more rage long term
running yourself dry by panic-refreshing IP kills your whole engine
you just want to get it on cooldown fast because it's a good button and you want to get as many casts as you can
its shield block just gets added to your current duration, doesn't super matter when it hits
It does but it’s like over double what you get from pressing the button once
which gods do i need to pray to to get a trinket to drop?
What have you tried so far? Probably Hindu
My stupidass got 2 brands already
I've tried Thor and Odin. No good from there.
Went with Zeus next, no luck. I gave Ra a shot as well, nothing.
Haven't tried any hindu gods yet, might give that a shot
There's also Krom. Haven't tried Krom yet
maybe the god emperor of mankind, too
Can I have one
God King Emperor, Lord Donald J Trump, leader of the free world
If I could I'd give u one
Hey any gamers around that can help me with my dmg idk what im doing wrong in raid
i did 7 gambits today
saw the neck drop like 3 times to people that cant or wont trade
banned from getting loot 
Hey guys i got myth tome of lights devotion in vault, is that worth taking or does the nerf make it far worse to pacemaker?
Pacemaker is worse than tome
why do all prot warriors seem to get aiming for pacemaker ceaseless ire?
how does the ascendance nerubian embelishment work? does it give 800 tops stat to a random secondary stat or can it stack up to 800 stat for each secondary stat given long enough time in combat?
I got a Heroic version of the Gambit neck, but still fishing for that M version from vault
What I can't manage to get is a damn headpiece
Hi do we have any way track Shield block duration like circle or line timer ?
I posted my logs in the log thingy, if anyone could help i would appreciate it a lot ❤️ I'm just looking to see if theres anything unholy im doing that I should fix
as prot warrs do we just not care about haste cap at all? just fully send haste on everything? ;p
26k rating is a hard stop or the point where trying to continue pushing haste becomes specifically less beneficial than other secondarys
its just on the bis gear in wow head every single piece of gear has haste on it
Still not a hindrance to take haste just past that you get less back from adding haste rating then if you added another secondary
any one pls ❤️
i'm saying again but WTF THIS TRINK BRO
can you stop posting those
its literally all you do
also
i'd hate to say it but
your throughput is lacking in comparison
that trinket is doing a lot because you arent
did they nerf drop rates? I have 45 runs on floodgate and no neck or legs for catalyst.. Seriously considering ending this season they clearly nerfed the rates
well it is not 40% anymore atleast if i have gotten like 5 drops from that dung from 45 runs
where did you see it was ever 40%?
hoow much is it?
Same as rolling dice 🙂
and every dungeon instance is its own statistic
You have 50/50 chance to win all the time
x numbers of runs does not mean you will have higher chance on the next one
yeah il be back on midnight this is ridiculus
its not as simple as a percent
Dont expect different approach
Will still be the same
thats just for mount farming cause youre alone
its a chance of 2 pieces, which can have a chance to be different pieces, to two different people on a 5 man group
just cameback for s3, does mountain thane is doing really good compare to collosus right now?, i see everyone using it, but how much of a different roughly
and every instance is mutually exclusive
only with s3 4pc (or 2pc in ST)
2pc in keys or s2 = colossus
s2 tier*
4pc than better in keys than 4pc colossus s3?
by miles
i see, i haven't got any of the tier set yet, thanks
then colossus will pull ahead in dps for you
both are equally tanky as it was last season
once you get s3 4pc though, mountain thane wins
ah okk, i have another question about brutal vitality vs fueled by violence but i will save it for later
Hey folks. Anyone tested the new power through adversity talent that reduces damage taken b/w 10% and 40% in PVP?
- Do you feel a significant/ noticeable change in survivability in PVP with it?
What is the BIS trinket setup for prot?
every key 12-15% of my dmg as a champ track trinked
tome is a joke beside this one
Honey wake up its time run streets 
So I went to the 5 dummies in Dornogal and tested Colossus VS Thane. (Mythic+ Weekly builds from wowhead)
1x just spamming dps stuff
1x using IP to not overcap rage.
No use of Execute.
Thats the results for ~600k dmg done.
but that test just doesn relate to playing the game at all
and if thats the test u want to do
just sim it
with all due respect but sims don't relate to playing the game much less
Rotation question: I'm almost full rage and full ignore pain, I can shield slam or use damage that spend rage (revenge/execute). Should I shield slam even if it overcap rage?
both happen in sims
u press IP
Even if full?
yes
huh?
I AP and shield slam then
do you have 4 set
sims take into account that we take dmg?
What even are you trying to test?
of course
yes
it also makes no sense that you lost damage when pressing IP
thane generates so much extra rage the only way you could get that result is by over spending
as i said it doesnt represent how u play the class at all
yeah I swiched those to accidently
@jagged pier did I cook?

tryin to get ready with the void mogs for when I inevitably decide to try new shiny thing
Hey, do you know if and how one may track the HMT Rugged Tenacity dmg prevented in Details?
Make your own Weakaura for it. There’s literally a premade auras feature that’ll do it for you
Or use the built in buff tracker
so its 100k difference for your char
not 600k
for me for instance
thane:https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8gZZrWfLhvPWMruSWQf8e7
colossus:https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2vd1iSejV2QufYrCnopiZ9
300k swing for thane
Is immovable wall good or would it be better to just use unstoppable force?
I feel like I cycle a lot of avatar but I’m not 100% sure
Thats depends on what hero talent u use
Colosse takes immovablr object
Thane takes unstoppable force
Hi guys which weapon enchant is better authority power or secondary stat buff?
Sim
But is dps the most valuable thing for tank?
Yes because surivibiliy comes from play
And the faster things die the less they hit u
What’s the difference between thane and colossus?
Hmm I can check to see the difference thank you




time for me
