Does anyone know of a guide or simple list of best times to look to use Rallying Cry in the raid?
The correct thing to do is talk it out with your healers. Else I just send it whenever I know big AoE is incoming.
This is also true, transmog is very important.
You gotta look good to be good.
You ever go to the store and see a car with flame stickers? You just know that baby is fast. Same premise.
So true
I roll into a 17 and the healer has a shit mog I just kick them. If you can’t put some effort into your looks how can I expect you to put effort into keeping me alive
Exactly

My monk looks like if Chuck Norris was a night elf
So you know his roundhouse kicks gonna hit just right
Sets the mood
Encourages victory
Jakey is def a non mogger. You strike me as a non mogger Jakey
Jakey in that raid looking like a yard sale 100%
i mog
Jakey do you have a tmog mount
Now that we've rated UIs we should rate mogs
Or do you save gold by letting everyone around you mount up instead
Jakey flexing his dps and his wallet
I’m out of coffee so I’m about to go unlock my car
And get more coffee
the new one
its a mog of all time
thats for sure
but u might as well get tmog roulette if u guuna do that
I call it "chilling at the gates of honor hold"
really evokes those hellfire peninsula vibes
all my characters are wearing pyjamas
Yep
That tracks
:)
You understand the importance of striking fear into your enemies
no it's just impossible to make a decent transmog because every single colour has 1 bajillion different shades and nothing matches
but sure
Gotta lean into it like me
New pfp who dis
that's why I use pre made sets
solves all problems
they should re-do all the models in the game and set them up to support dyeing
then add dyes
That would cost us like an entire expansion
its coming for housing u can dye furniture at least, well the new model. they are appretnly working on the old models
i doubt it comes too armour
as u get colour variances
Over twenty years of armor to make compatible with dyes, I don’t think it’s ever going to be a feature lol
Simply don’t transmog your gear and just wear what you have, easy
Spoken like a Druid
“Who needs mog I got a sick bear form”
Can any healer do dawnbreaker above 15?
They have the resources
It just has little return on investment ig
I swear they are all incapable of healing the first boss
since it's just making the game better rather than a feature that will sell more subscriptions
most people just either don't mog or mog tier sets
Dawn is so much easier if you have dps that can stop dmg for better phases . If u have issues surviving between intermisions thats another story
Every one I run over 15 is immediate brick
Every healer just falls apart on the debuff dispel
Like even before the key this one shaman was playing healing stream and I was like “hey man, prob need to run cloudburst” and he’s like na
Sure enough he can’t heal the debuff off
Is there a bug or something with Tome, or trinkets in general, dropping in Priory? I'm about to do run #53 and still no Tome. I've not even seen a Signet drop.
nope
My loot spec is Prot, so no issues there.
thats called rng baby
thats how rng loot from m+ works
Yeah, no.. I have gotten 4 signets, but still looking to join the book club.
Okay, just making sure I didn't miss something and I'm bashing my face against this dungeon for nothing.
Nah, you're just unlucky like the rest of us
Oh I'm taking breaks and playing an alt. I've got warrior to 3k and shaman to 2500 trying to get the Tome.
I got it in 3 runs and haven't seen it drop since
It's much rarer to see Tome drop than Signet because Tome only drops for tank specs. But getting them yourself is 50/50.
i thought id get sacbrood before i went for the tome but seems RNjesus is just as nice about sacbrood as he is tome ...
The silverlining with a trinket like Sacbrood is that as the season goes on it gets more and more likely the other people in your party can give theirs away. For Tome you're on your own.
true, might be better off grinding tome for a bit. the haste from sacbrood is so nice though
Kinda wish they had a system where you got 1 dungeon-specific currency each time you do it and can buy any of its items for 20 or something.
But I guess that's kinda what dinars are meant to do as well.
yeah after 20 attempts or something can just purchase the item you so desperately need
Would be nice. At that point you statistically should have gotten it, so it kinda gets old at that point.
I liked the combination of the pacemaker and sacbrood though, it feels nice. i know tome is S ranked trinket but it seems like the haste and str gain works good with warrior. Am I terribly off and should focus more on tome or is it a depending on play feel kinda thing? just getting back into tanking after several years of break
I would say Tome is clearly better, but Sacbrood is still good. But what Tome does incredibly well is ST/prio damage, so it depends how you value that.
What a lot of people do, however, is drop Tome for Brand. So you run Brand + Pacemaker or Brand + Antenna.
awesome thank you 😄
ooooo we talking about the probability of a item dropping again 
Just take 4 other tank eligible guildies
And you’ll get it four times faster
4head
sure
hit that
but then theres a gcd u havent pressed SS when u could
and u kinda dont want to miss a SS cast
bloodmallet says Idol does the most damage, but i dont know how would the interaction between that and avatar works
It does a lot of damage, but be careful as the channeling stops you from blocking and parrying and stuff. So you probably wanna Shockwave first.
i meant the Cooldown wise
I have no idea how it interacts with Avatar. Just wanted to put that warning out there because not everyone knows.
And you do 0 damage if you die.
it doesnt
avatar doesnt increase trinket damage
the damage u do with the crit it gives u will be effected tho
anyone knows how much gain the heroic boots are over raw stat boots?
dps wise? nada
even defensively, not really
so do you just dont play them?
If you have them its free extra shield but its not worth giving up ilvl for them
and a extra effect
Mtyh boots > hero hunters boot
There must be a language barrier because that is not what i meant. im asking how do we use idol when the cooldown is different from avatar's
on cooldown
You just... use it
if choose not to cast it when its up
then your loosing value of the trinket
and probably future casts down the line
you can just line it with roar or spear depending on what you play
and if avatar/ds naturally line up, then great
you shouldnt sit on either CD for long to try and sync em up
I’m not really understanding how avatar and idol are related at all
Yam said they hated me because of my pfp so I just google searched a new rhino with a cowboy hat
Mhm
I just had someone in a Streets tell me afterwards that it is generally expected that the tank pings which portals to take? Has that been y'alls experience? I always just kind of assumed that peopel can figure the portals out themselves
lol
Never. I assume people follow me.
Lmao
It happens that people don't follow me and they get some awkward downtime, so maybe I should ping, but it's rarely an issue.
My expectation is people will follow me. I also don’t really care if they don’t
Half the time when I try to ping a specific thing I end up pinging myself or something I’m fighting instead
I always just expect pugs to follow or make the right choice. Ive also had a pug get mad at me over not helping burn down adds at first boss of AK though ....
I mean it’s pretty easy to cleave off the boss right
I don’t think I’d be mad if the tank didn’t but t.blast has some range to it so you def could
Which dungeon was it
just a 13 flood lol
lol
That last boss in flood fucks me up more than I care to admit.
Spent all expansion as a blood dk and just AMS'd and Death's advanced all his mechanics. I'm getting exposed bad
You probably know already, but don't sit on Spell Reflect too much. That -25% magic damage taken is masive.
Just sit with your back to the console, Spell Reflect the dot, and leap to the enterance for sparks
90% of the time just going to the other end of the room results in your spark getting watered
YOU CAN SPELL REFLECT THE DOT?!
Like, the one from the tank buster?!
I don't think so. But it reduces the damage you take by 25% still
Oh, fair enough
It doesnt reflect it but its a 25% magic DR every 20 seconds lol
Yeah, it doesn't reflect. Only reduces damage.
Way to rain on our parade...
So you'll have it up for each buster dot
If it still trucks you you can run Hunker Down for another 10% reduction.
OR you run spellbreaker like a chad
True. Just get lucky.
Always reflect it, right?
I mean, nothing else in that fight hurts at all. Just Shield Wall it too 😛
That's what I do. Both wall and SR.
I personally love leaving my survivability up to chance 😛
Wall won't be available for all of them, but you can cover a few.
ye
You should be able to have spell reflect and impending victory up for both.
bro ppl keep dying in route pulls wtf
so tired of dps dying to dogshit mechanics
like random spell casts etc
Not saying yours is, but some routes do sketchy pulls
But yeah, sometimes people will die no matter what you do.
I go with whatever the pug-friendly pull is on google
There are multiple of those of varying quality
Alexa, generate a pug friendly route for dawn breaker 13
But it's probably not the route's fault, to be clear.
That's not great..
I had 17 (cuz shout) and all else 10-11s
I depleted Gambit 17, I had 47 interrupts, heal 19, DH had 17, Mage 16 and DK 12...
Sounds low in general, but depends on the dungeon and route.
we had like 6 deaths to casts
It’s when you have a free casting add outside the pack and your two ranged DPS are sat there with their kicks off CD and they don’t do anything about it and get bolted to death
ok wtf this group is 5 Orcs
IKR
Alway get a DK
ALWAYS
and hope they use their grip
Some keys I gotta beg
for a grip
wait like 20 seconds before it's gripped
The worst feeling is having one or even two shamans and them not using the best kick in the game
Makes me cry a little
cause he's too busy doing damage
Hi! This is my first time writing! Does anyone have any Raid talents that get the most damage out of them? I want to beat my friend DK Blood. xD
The builds the Wowhead guide recommends are really solid.
Check out warcaft logs
to see what players play on different bosses and different difficulties
That's good advice as well.
Great thanks I'll check it out
Is there a more pug friendly version of this pull
Every time I've pulled this, it's just been a wipefest.
yer split it into 2
So just a three pull and leave the mini alone?
Yeah that looks better
Lust pull 2, ofc.
Gives space for people to move because somehow dodging beams is hard
They can actually be hard to dodge. It's random if they spawn on ranged players or melee, so you gotta pay attention and reposition.
If you mean the spinning beams.
No I mean the straight lines
Ah nevermind me then.
The ones you can press S for
no funnel for boss 😭
I only do keys up to the 3k range for now, so it doesn't matter for me
DPS pugs hate this one trick!!!
lol
If I was running with a group and comms I'd do it but with pugs sometimes its just easier to let them focus on one thing at a time
Maybe if the keys were higher but it's been rough the past couple days just trying to get the last points for 3k
So many keys bricked from bs
u can't get 50k though
That's a lot of good boy and good girl points

whats the haste cap for 100% shieldblock ?
You can't get 100% with ITF. You can only get that with HR.
how many should i go that is considered enough for m+ ?
To run ITF you want 21-25k. I have just under 25k myself and get 94-95% uptime.
Practically speaking that is about as much as you can get.
If you have less than that you want to swap ITF to HR. Then you have 100% uptime easily.
alright thanks for the help
How much haste before swaping to other stats
With ITF it's typically not recommended to go much higher than 25k. I've heard 27k, but I only recommend up to 25k myself.
When you have enough haste to keep decent Shield Block uptime you just sim yourself to see what you wanna focus more on.
sry what is ITF
Into the Fray, a talent that increases haste based on how many mobs and players are around you.

There is a time in every person's life when they have to sit down and reflect upon the important things, such as the best TREES in World of Warcraft. The time for me to do so has come as well and even tho...
when lumbering skill
Yogi don’t ever change
ya okay right but when lumbering skill
if I craft 720 legs and then use a catalyst charge on them, do they convert to myth track tier or something else
you cant catalyse crafted items
Ah gotcha nvm ty
Didn't we have lumbering in wod?
noat evergreen
dfoesnt count
never has never will count
well, only in wod
which i didnt play anyway
- house is made of like 70% + wood
if someone goes offline
and everyone abandons
do they get punished
tank just dipped lmao
he pulled like a clown, wiped us twice
then leaves
If you voted abandon it's all good. If you left the party you probably will have a +1 to the leaver counter.
I assume there's a thing where a DCd player will get kicked after a while, but that's probably like 5-10min. Assuming such a thing even exists.
Seems like a no-brainer to me, but who knows. Blizz hasn't really explained how it works.
random thought
during the last boss of priory of the flame, is there any way to jump from the low ground to the higher ground?
like the portal warlocks can place
Yes, you can leap and warlock gate, but it's very precise
I don't bother with it and just leap to the top of the middle stairs.
Cus you lose more time than you gain if you mess it up.
do you have any clip at hand?
you leap ontop of the fence
Just clear it in a follower dungeon or wait until you've done another Priory key then stay behind and practice. You'll figure it out.
But it only saves you 2-3 seconds.
you need to position there
the arrows are stairs
the small rectangle is the top of the fence
nice
position downstairs is the imporant part
yup, got this to work
ye
no
if someone leaves before, everyone else can leave after
they take the abandon, the rest dont
why does prot warrior have a super laggy response time between all of their offensive abilities?
dead ass, im at 36% haste, and it feels like im waiting on cast bar to get the spell off.
its 100% on your end
no, because i dont have the same issue on my pally tank nor VDH, i do have the same problem on my Blood DK
same everything.
and just to be certain, youre talented into devastator?
i am
i dont have Weakauras on this toon
As a test you could try to temporarily disable all addons and see how it feels then. Could be an addon?
Personally I also feel like it's sluggish sometimes when I try to get many abilities off and I have a couple of things queued already, but not as bad as what you're describing.
ye thats just shitty spellqueueing
cuz we are a fast class
so you need to spam your abilities
i lowered the spell que window and it felt like it helped
so that it actually cast what i wanted if i switched buttons
How low do you have it? I'd like to test that
150
it highly depends on your latency
Also do you remember the console command? Else I'll just google it
so one's settings might not work for everyone
its still the same
the rule of thumb is
Sounds correct. Let me try.
many things feel fine
I didn't know you could set your spell queue, holy crap
yeah dont worry we've been over this
any chance you can provide a recording/clip of your gameplay on your warr vs your pally?
I'm on 350 which should be default. My ping is 25. I'll try both 150 and 125.
See how they both feel.
Yeah, it's /console
Thanks guys, hopefully that will help in my case at least
Dunno about Thicc though. Maybe try the same?
thats alot of work, but yeah i can.
the only thing that occurs to me
is them playing ITF without the required haste
but even then
what i HAVE noticed is that between a SS press and the rage showing as going up, it take like 200ms or so?
it shouldn't result in feeling like a "cast bar"
i think it's only visual however
because if I SS+IP insta at max rage, that SS does not generate any rage
idk about default ui, but i havent seen that in any WA
do you add up the world ping and home ping? Or just use your home ping?
same with thunderclap/thunderblast
You don't add them.
home is fine
In my case both are identical.
unless you live in OCE and are playing in NA servers
Oh wow, default spell queue window is 400
For slow classes I'm sure that's pretty nice actually
but if you dont spam fast enough it can queue the wrong spell
Or casters.
and casting revenge instead of SS is quite costly long term
Hmmm....I do play DB blood, and that class is quite slow
especially compared to prot warrior
almost everything is slow compared to pwar
shouldnt matter tbh
i play all tanks in some capacity and i dont really see a lot of, if any, drawback from my 120
but certainly dont go that low
can also combat a long spell queue window by having high prio spells on a macro that clears the window beforehand
🤷♂️
but spam button fun
the tank is the one who "left" by going offline after his abandon vote failed
so
idk what happens there
It is very interesting.
I'd describe blood dk gameplay as like....spinning plates. And letting any of those plates fall kills you.
Prot warrior feels more like trying to empty the water out of a boat that has several holes in it so you don't drown in RAGE.
DK requires me thinking several steps ahead so I don't fuck up.
Prot warrior is just constant bedlam. Managed chaos. I'm not thinking, I'm reacting to the pretty buttons that light up while trying to stop the red bar from maxing out
this is what i mean:
there's a tiny tiny delay between the button press and the increased rage showing up
yeah default ui
seems to sync between WA and default frame
like i said i dont use default ui
im sure there's an option to remove the animation from it
it's both in this clip
default frame on the left, WA resource in the center
this might be what @mossy kindle meant
i dont think its the same at all
and i have no idea what that WA is
but it seems minimal anyway
works fine with me and Nome's
Idk, I think the amount of extra “planning” required for blood DK is highly exaggerated.
I think it’s a bit of an illusion, because your health yo-yo’s so much and you get to see a uh number on the healing meter, it feels like you’re doing a lot more.
Prot warr is definitely on the easier side for tanks, but defensively all of the tank specs are pretty close IMO (and brew has a lot more to manage offensively).
Is the Antenna in the prot loot table as well or just dps specs?
Got 2/8M now and want to plan for vault
yes
you can also double check by opening your dungeon journal
Asking cause I just closed the game lol
fair
To be honest, I'm not even looking at my health bar most of the time as blood. If my screen goes red, I reflexively hit death strike, but otherwise, I'm just doing my rotation.
@potent anvil they didnt want you 🙁

You get so much runic power, you just hit death strike when you have enough RP. Which you are constantly generating because you need to spend runes. But you gotta make sure you keep your bone shields up and spend exterminate stacks when you get them. And pop dancing rune weapon on CD. And make sure you're standing in death and decay, so when you use bonestorm and tombstone, they do maximum damage. But don't use them if you won't get max value out of the CDR for dancing rune weapon. And don't forget about your blood boil charges.
And this list just goes on and on and on
With prot, I'm just "HIT DA BUTTONS. DO NOT LET THE RED BAR FILL UP."
never said it wasnt
why do you know what he was complaining about x)
i dont
thats why i said "i think"
or to be specific "i dont think"
which is often the case 
I wouldn't even necessarily call blood's rotation harder than prot. But it is significantly more punishing if you fuck it up.
Same
Prot warrior feels invincible
If that's the case, why can I see it?


That’s just a tuning thing though, and isn’t inherent to the classes. In shadowlands it was the opposite where you needed to play pretty tight to keep SB up and if it ever fell off you just got flattened. And blood DK was invincible in shadowlands S3 and S4
the wonders tiersets enable
notably was also the most fun pwar has ever been in SL s3 and 4
Oh so that's why my bdk friend quit
youre describing s1
BDK is currently the only tank thats fuck in m+
how's guardian this season? I heard it wasn't that good either
I was not here for Shadowlands S3 or S4, so I wouldn't know.
I just know that blood's always been a plate spinning spec. You have like....7 things to manage all at the same time, and letting any one thing slip will typically fuck up the rest
pwar is the same
1 mistake and you cant recover
its just that they dumbed pwar down every patch
more and more
Prot doesn't feel like a plate spinner to me, tho. At least not this patch.
It feels like a game of whack-a-mole
the plate spinner shows in terms of damage output
not in minimum requirement to be tanky
A very fun game of whack-a-mole
But I am I not planning anything out beyond my CDs
or thinking ahead at all
just playing the spec as it comes to me with all its procs
ye thats thane for ya
Yeah, I was thinking s1 + s2, I know pwarr was significantly worse than BDK and prot pal in S3/S4 shadowlands but prot warr wasn’t as intense then
we were not significantly worse
in those seasons
thats just community perception
we had banner
pwar was 2nd best tank in s3 and s4, but 10x harder than anyone else

and bdk was just insanely overtuned
But the broad point is that how punishing a tank spec is when messing up defensives is more a function of current tubing rather than a spec being inherently more forgiving than another.
depends on forgiving, bdk gets fucked up by everyday hits, pwar gets fucked up if you dont use a defensive on X mechanic and then needs the healer to pick up the slack otherwise you just die straight up
regardless i understand what they are going for, im just clarifying the state of this class during SL
bdk has more leeway vs mechanics as 1 deathstrike takes care of it again like nothing happened
Indeed.
As long as you survive a hit as blood, you're fine and can take care of yourself.
But it's also why maintaining lots of runic power is so important and not wasting it is vital.
For prot, I've found as long as I have shield block up, I'm good for 90% of situations. And we have spell reflect, shield wall, even last stand and victory rush in a pinch.
I have noticed though that its far harder to survive if my healer goes down, tho. As blood, I don't even notice. As prot, all those tiny hits start adding up.
that being said, i dont think blizzard's current philosphy is to make tanks so punishing
and thats probably not going to change
if only they realized the other important part that they seem to be missing: tanks like to do damage
^THIS.
Yes, I do like feeling like an invincible wall of iron. But I would also like to deal a reasonable amount of damage. Not even an insane amount, just...you know, if I hit a button, I'd like to see the health bars of my foes move.
And not struggle with aggro cause this ret paladin just blew his entire load on the pack the instant we engaged.
For prot, I've found as long as I have shield block up, I'm good for 90% of situations. And we have spell reflect, shield wall, even last stand and victory rush in a pinch.
the only problem with this statement is that these are proactive measures, not reactive (also why is LS there, its garbage)
"in a pinch" does not apply
you do them before damage comes in
I dunno
free health pot is free?
not after the fact
If I have to choose between pugging the rest of the season and unsubbing, does anyone know what I can buy myself for £9.99 as a treat
idk they are worth more than free
TBH, the only thing I've used last stand for at this point is the free health pot value.
At least up to +12, I haven't even needed it
a lot if you add up the months
176g! What a racket those alchemists are runnin
Yeah but rank 2 isn’t that much worse honestly
I should probably buy actual health potions.
but god dang it, I don't wanna
Flasks, food, mana oil, unreasonable repair prices, goblin jumper cables, drums
That’s a good solution if you want to spend more time playing or have the capacity to do so
I don’t want to gather herbs and brew potions like some LARPy ass wizard, though
Weapon durability can actually get fucked as well
What’s the point
I sadly cannot spend more time playing WoW than I already do
I don’t want to spend more time playing, I have other things to do!
I’m old and have responsibilities 🙁
I play the game very little relative to most people and I have no issue with any of these things
Like most things in life people are bad at actually doing
You log in for 2 hours, you spend 90 minutes of that not actually doing anything
Increase your time efficiency, not your time played
You might be a bad time manager. You might be great. You just said you were bad though so I’ll believe you
🍻
I have 2 character. A main and an old main I still log into occasionlly
This is all I got
Just be more efficient, Cobat
I don't wanna be more efficient, I just wanna have fun in a video game
Not allowed, sorry
Spreadsheet of every minute spent so you can allocate gathering time
😭
I think you’re completely missing the point lol
🍻
why are the top people not using ravager or passive ravager?
By top people you mean yoda and Kira?
yes
and I think you are vastly underestimating your ability to make good use of your time in WoW.
Like, I got days when I don't even log into wow
so what build should i go for?
wowhead's vault key build
and then swap in certain talents as you meet damage checks
To be weird, idk
Several weird choices going in their builds
I believe it's because they don't have trouble surviving, aka not needing much rage to keep up their IP that much
the main idea of getting ravager is to generate rage
Instead of that they go more execute talents for Prio and ST damage
Loving prot this season in m+. The aoe interrupt feels like i bring actually useful utility and feel so tanky, barely even need shield wall in a 14 i did
Anybody else not having best time trying to keep first arakara boss for dps to cleave ?
feels like its mostly dependent on everyone else not being apes with their adds
You can just heroic leap right next to where they will be, but yea ive had people freak with those, maybe not used to the new spiders
Ive literaly had a pala demand me to stand close so he can cleave and then he decided to stay in middle of boss and was shocked when he ate them..
Yea thats exactly what i mean lol
Like at that point im thinking about just standing like 10meters away and watch dps suffer
Its for such marginal cleave gain, but i think people will get better at it
just tell them before run that the spiders don't do damage anymore and they can just tank them
it's not marginal at all
its a lot of damage
Its a lot of gain for nothing but i feel like thats recently my highest reason for bricked key , like people either dont know how they work or dont care/ brain lag
How much more dmg is the execute build vs the push build
people stay in direction of boss
so, spiders go to the boss
and u have to move the boss
which kinda fucks up the cleave
Yea and then people dont focus on adds hard enough he starts to chanel puddles and its gg cuz add gets eaten
uhh
adds dont get eaten unless the people fixated go into her hitbox
or through it
thats on them
not on tanks
you can easily maintain funnel through baits
Thats exactly my issue
it's when spiders
get into her hitbox
she eats them
This message
he should stay
behind where the adds have spawned
so that adds do not move in the direction of the boss
that's on them
and trust me, even people in 16s do not know
how to do this properly
Yea had people in 15 rage just to realize they dont know how it works
But its so weird , i either get flamed for not doing it or they brick key xd
Thats exactly what i said
no need to ackchually me
reading comprehension
the way you articulated it
what could possibly cause the spiders to go into her hit box??
youre not moving the spider into them
if you are, youre inting
sounded like you meant that if players fixated are in her hitbox makes the boss eat the spiders
yes im addressing the root cause
i dont patronize people thinking they dont know mechanics
Lommatik has been here for a while
Dw i understood what u meant
Why is execute @ 6T a higher prio than execute at 3T. When it's capped at 3 w/ the talent shouldn't it be the same damage regardless?
Just wanted to vent and see how others are dealing with it
execute is prio in LESS than 6t
youre reading it wrong
and the reason why there's a target number is because it just hits harder than any other spender
even if its capped at 3
anything over 6t, you revenge
does that make sense?
It's in comparison to the other buttons you can press; also, the rage it spends is situationally nice for sniping outbursts on the proper ability, as well
also because if you're looking at the wowhead guide, you'd never hit the 3 or fewer targets priority option for execute because of the higher prio execute; it's mostly there if you don't have AOE execute
Nome could make it so execute disappears when you have heavy handed selected, but it's probably not a major concern or issue
Can't make exclusion prompts sadly
that's whack
Yeah
well, there's the ultimate answer
And yeh the answer is simply, 3t execute Hits harder than almost all abilities would do on 6
Like, a 5t revenge hits for like 1.5mil combined for example, but the 3t execute Hits for 4.5mil combined
It hits ungodly hard
Wowzers
Yeah ty, was just confused over the extra execute at the end.
Wouldn't you hit the last execute priority if TC is on cd, and you have. < 50 rage?

technically, with how it's written and placed, it's higher prio than anything, since there's no minimum target value
well, anything not CDs or resets or rage management
so like base rotation stuff
Since it comes before Shield Slam, outburst spends, or even clap being pressed, and you press it on "up to 6 targets", which doesn't say to not use it that high in ST
Might be reading it wrong, but it looks like it's only higher prio when rage > 60
yes its rage dependant after all
there's no rage mention for that execute line, technically
its a spender
it is simply press it on up to 6 targets
In reality, yeah, it's used to manage rage
Ah I was looking at the colo rotation
oh yeah Colo has different focuses, since it also doesn't buff execute as much/generates less rage
Which is what was confusing me a bit as to why revenge is better between 50-60 rage specifically
Rage gen and pacing; you don't want any globals dead
And if you press execute at 50 rage, for example, it'd consume 40 of that 50
and then if it doesn't reset shield slam, you're screwed on that global unless you happen to have TC available or something
Being left at 20-30 rage
After the cast
You just untalent devastator and then you always have a button to press 4head
stonks
If you also didn't know, execute scales linear wise with the rage spent, so if it spends less rage, you're not losing a whole bunch of damage or anything, hence why it's fine to send a 20 rage execute but can be rough to send a 40-cost execute while at 50 rage
What determines how much rage is spent?
how much rage you have
It'll spend 20-40 rage
If you have less than 40, it'll spend all of it
If you have more than 40, it costs 40 rage
I assume then since the rage condition isn't up for MT that MT rage gen is just large enough to ignore the amount of rage you send execute at?
There's a few things that go into it; for example, you also can spend outburst on Thunder Blast as a valid option. As Colo, sending outburst on Thunder Clap is very sad times
So the rage you spend goes into outburst fueling, whether it's Blast or Shield Slam
Thane also has hero talents that increase the damage of execute, off the top of my head
And you also are just sitting on more potential globals, since you have procs that do things like give you 3 shield slams with no real CD, back to back
Can you check for missed ss resets on a log?
hi just have a quick question. how much rage loss would it be if dropping bloodsurge for whirling blades in m+?
You don't take whirling blades?
ive tried doing target dummy tests but my details doesnt record rage generation for some reason
You should check out https://murlok.io/warrior
I just thought maybe whirling blades might give some extra dmg and still generate some rage but i dunno how much less it is than bloodsurge
Most poeple take both talents I believe
take a look at that sight I linked, you can scroll down on the Prot war page and see the talent pages for the top 50 Prot warriors.
yea im looking at it now
please dont
Did I break a rule?
and yes you should be playing whirling as thane not bloodsurge
no, we just have guides specifically for that reason, no need to link aggregate sites that we dont support
wowhead/icyveins are our guides
👍
That site is less of a guide and more like aggregate data from the top 50 Prot warriors based on score.
But on that note, what is the best way to see how much rage blood surge is generating? I couldn’t find its RPPM and I’m assuming the rage generation isn’t linearly increasing with target count similar to DK’s frost fever
If you just want the total rage generated by it, you can check a log
its normalized
its not as big as whirling
and does not increase with target count
resource tab on log
Example: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Dpctyzab4VdmPkfJ?fight=13&type=resources&source=373&spell=101
at least not substantially
Thanks, I was trying to look at some logs earlier but the resource tab wasn’t showing for them
probably because advanced logging isnt turned on
probably needed to swap from hit points to rage at the top
It might have been that, when I went to the resources tab I was just seeing a combat log
I want triple threat achieve :^(
thnx for all the info guys. appreciate it.
I love applying to keys as a dps it's so fun
Wild how the game is more toxic than ever with this abandon shit in place
people just anonymously vote to abandon and people agree???
1 wipe in a +10 after first boss hoa
instant abandon
classic
I think ten keys are harder than any other key level I do
I've unironically had easier 17s this season and easier 20s last season than some of 10s I sign up to for vault
actually insane the amount of routes I see that seem like they have no plan at all
What’s your route?
“Forward”
My biggest reason for swapping to prot war from rogue for M+ was that I thought to myself "Surely tanking cannot be this hard"
W routes are my specialty
yeah I'm just using my threechest thing for the screenshot
ignore the group borders
point is, he just let everyone die to G57 instead of picking em up
and then abandoned
fucking annoying after queuing for 15 minutes to get into the last 10 I need on my alt
I was pumping too :(
If you go around the south side of them I feel like you can
I want to say I’ve seen that a few times. Take out the greeters at the gate and go straight to g29
All the way down the south side
Idk yam maybe I just don’t wanna deal with em
Isn’t he cute
It's skippable by just walking past, but it's also very easy to buttpull or it gets pulled by groundskeepers
isn’t he cute
I see groundskeeper walking towards a slasher?
nothing personnel kid
kidney shot
I like fighting the slashers
I wish the knock wasn't as strong but they're whatever otherwise.
I get to do something besides get bolted
they just have lots of hp
Like it's super annoying to be knocked against a fence and it like lifts you up and still yeets you past it
I've still not seen someone do a route that I think is nicer than mine on hoa
Otherwise the dreary gloomy poo town starts to make me feel sleepy
I wish the whole dungeon was just the third boss
Spell reflecting the whole time
What are the funnel classes? I know arcane and vdh, any other?
Arcane,havoc, assa, sub, ele, enhacement a bit, mm
shadow
is the top funnel
not sure how both of you missed it
well i suppose arcane can give it a run for its money this season
If my shadow priest friend does tank damage does that mean he sucks or I’m not pulling correctly
Cause it is not my favorite rn
it means he sucks
shadow's pretty hard to play well I think
the only shadow i invite is my friend
other SPs... ehh
they are usually little bitches that complain the entire run about some bs
lol he does think everything is annoying
Your friend just isn’t insane enough
how much of my damage is the 4 set?
20% ish
I'm struggling to do damage right now and I wonder how much of that might be because I'm only 2 set
tb is around 20% of an overall key
ionizing is about 12-14% of an overall key
if its higher than that
then youre probably doing something wrong
if its vastly lower than that, youre probably doing something wrong as well
it 100% is
you swap to thane only after 4pc
2pc thane is only good in ST
you use colossus in keys if you dont have 4pc speicifically for that reason
oh I see
I've been banging my head against a wall with MThane since I started lmao
i havent upped logs but this was a 14 HOA
bro ngl I saw the 30.9% crit % on Exe and thought it was the % of damage and my heart fell through my feet
lol
How much overall was that?
4.3M
not having ire is fucking me
but also
ionizing strikes should be higher
i was just tilted on that run anyway
I don't have a good comparison for HoA. Last one I did was like day 1 or 2 of the season XD
on pwar anyway
I've tanked HoA once this season
and i've literally never even been in dawn on my warrior
Damn is that warrior a 1 weekly key kinda guy?
i've just not gotten any dawnbreaker keys
The first time I even entered a dawnbreaker at all this season was on my Resto shaman at +12
and i think that was last week?
Yeah, we timed that bish though
Almost 2 chested 
Oh idk why I thought you were in the 13 I did. Was a different rsham
HOA is fine
what tilts me is that the other people get tilted for the most dumb reason
well, let me rephrase that
HOA is not fine, it does have way too many casters, but people just make it 500% worse
its like they go into it ready to get pissed
I did tilt in a HoA but it was on my hunter
And I was tilting at the tank tilting
because one singular cast of Loyal Beasts that he didn't even die to went off
lol
basically gave up on the 2nd pull of the dungeon; it was tragic. Told him to just abandon and get the fuck out of my key T_T
i also dont understand how people invite 3 wizards and expect to time it
oh yeah 3 caster kicks, i wonder what will happen
oh? and a priest healer to boot!
We had a priory like that once; 3 ranged kicks with 1 being demo lock
i did a priory recently that had 3 warlocks
healer said "its resil"
im like uhhh ok i guess we'll go left
Isn't left more casters?
gross
and i figured right side would be hell
and then probably get fucked at boss due to kicks
Do you know if it's true that sharpshooters won't pot shot people who stand behind them?
havent really made the test
is into the fray good for dimenseus?
It feels like I don't get to stand next to folks very often in that fight
fair enough
if you were solo tanking it, which i doubt its possible at this point, then i would say HR would be a better pick since you gotta stand away from people in 2 of the phases
it would be possible with ITF, you just gotta micro manage SB a lot like we used to do in the olden days, aka dont send it as hes casting etc
but yeah its really not a realistic scenario so
question for the pug enjoyers, what route you guys doing on priory? for +15's
right side
its not a question of enjoyment
its a question of do you want your healer to suffer?
cause thats what left side is
not as much as they will by going left side
Cn you post one please? Never did right before and getting closer to 15s (doing 14atm)
Ignore both sides and fight first boss with two mini bosses ez
Someone just vote abandoned my eco dome at second boss with 18 mins left
Said my route was bad
Then when the vote failed he purposely died
Why are people like this
Just look at what MDI are doing. Everyone knows thats the best way to pull 
Especially in pugs
And why cant we report sich behavior with context relatee information (text)
Do you leap from arcane slashes or still take them in the face?
I leap them unless were tight on space
in which case I wall/reflect
but its usually a nonissue anyway bc I try to play dk/arcane/dh there
so they die almost immediately
I'm more impressed u time a 14 by going left
Gm everyone,so i put Culminating Blasphemite and i put 5 different gems type on my rest gem slots and i didnt get any % of extra crit.Anyone know what i am doing wrong ?
I dont ever see any builds in M+ with intimidating shout, why is it a bad pickup?
It can send mobs into packs you don’t want to pull I guess is the main reason
thats not the reason its capped so it doesnt hit anything
it also doesnt work in some dungeons because mob type etc
but i run it
got it! Thanks
i like it, its a good stop
Is resetting the first boss in HM patched?
Not sure if meld/feign have both just failed
As said I’m doing 14 atm. did not tried PSF14 yet, but 13 was no problem. 🤷♂️
Yesterday I had the same thing happening after 1 wipe in a 10 lol, where we are all just farming an item and all over 2.7k rio...
Guy said he was going to afk to eat and would gladly come back after to loot the chest
The /abandon vote has been a great addition, in my opinion, but there needs to be a way for the people who ignore the vote to face some sort of consequences
I don't know how it could be done without allowing other people to abuse it and threaten legit players that simply have a bad day
But some system that detects (maybe vote based?) that you are ignoring the outcome of the /abandon vote, and marks you as a leaver in the finder, much like if you have left the key
You get critical effect, not critical chance. Theoretically, with 5 diff gems you'd do 0.75% more critical damage, which sounds hard to notice tbh
I think the consensus is that it's simply better to stack whatever stat you need and not worry about the 0.15% crit effect
Think left is ok but I’ve seen DPS blast CDs on the reflective shield one of the mini bosses does and kill themselves 🙃
Ok ty !
Left is ok until it isn’t
On sub like maybe 14 imo left is just easier
But once you hit push range trying to heal that miniboss with the boss is heinous
Like we did whole last season and ppl timed it at 20?
they changed how the bosses work
so right is now easier
and they go right
in the high keys
im convinced left is easier if you aren't on discord calling kicks
the overlaps are way worse on the left, and i believe the mini boss before hand it a lot worse
but u need less inturpts
which at high keys isnt an issue
as you would make a rotation before hand
Jakey
Friend pal
Buddy
I’m thinking of doing prot warrior for Lemieux, do yall still scrollwheel ignore pain?
i dont personally
Cause full disclosure, I liked bear in mop remix, but like I could not scroll wheel iron fur for the life of me
Pog okay ty
I can't live without zooming in and out
nothing is on MW for me ever, only with modifiers
u dont just spam IP there are other rage spenders u do press
Oh? Arnt they both ogcd tho?
So like it’s the last one I’m priority or when u need
yes u press IP alot
Ah I see
but just not all the time
a lot of ppl atm have a tendancy to over spend on IP
its not the biggest issue, but it can turn into an issue
Oh
Okay I think I get it now
Ty fren
Now I gotta bother xeph if he has a prot warrior weakaura
If not I gotta make my own sound system
i use it when above 70 rage or when i wait for a tank buster/ heavy magic dmg etc etc. Like an extra safety
the easiest way they can do this is actually rework the useless report system.. theres nothing about trolling/griefing in there and something similar to what league reports look like would work
you basically only press IP if you are at like 70+ rage, because then u have 30 for SB when u need it
then just check the gameplay if enough reports were given
like ive barely had leavers/trollers in m+ this season but goddamn the ones that did surely made it sure it was the worst experience ever for everyone
They are never ever going to do that though
In the end, even if you actually abandon the key, the punishment is kinda silly
You get tagged as a leaver for a little while
I don't see why we couldnt just have a vote system for people that intentionally grief a key
true
atleast whenever i see a guy with leaver tag i make sure to never inv them lol
tbh id go as far as invite them and kick them as we are starting the key
If all 4 players send in a report for boosting/deranking on a grinder, they get removed from the group btw 
really?
Wut
wdym a grinder tho
Seems to be how it works, grief er is not a word
We all reported this one dude yesterday and it did nothing
:bearnotes:
Only options to report are inappropriate name or communication, too
Alrighty
Cause like I’m torn between fdk and prot warrior but on god, I miss playing my panda warrior
why not both, ones a dps that requires 5iq to play and the other ones is a fun tank
When I get the AFK/offline guy, I just started to ask everyone to report. When we do they disappear out of the group
They might be leaving on their own?
If we don't, they remain forever
Idk
If I had to guess, there is some sort of tag in the system when you go offline. But it doesn't want to punish ppl outright. So it waits for the little extra
I’m not gonna do 2 runs of lemix
le what now
speaking of, i had a shaman who died like 5 times repeatedly in a +10 floodgate who then went offline
Pretty normal
do they get leaver or not
Legion remix
i mean who said to do that
Also, if you play on EU, Kazzak server seems unstable. Every key with one from there, no matter how good/bad they perform, they just randomly go offline for 5 min
Ew leveling up a alt normally
Only if the system boots them, only the 1st guy to leave gets marked
Lemix you get cool transmogs
tbh i have very bad experiences with russians especially. i legit avoid inviting any of them
super toxic
my first 'griefed' key was done by a tank+heal ruski combo we invited
I got the opposite, they are the ones who invite me and are just chill
cuz i didnt do comparable dps to a destro lock in the 30 murloc pull as a fury lock in gambit
like.. bro
idk ive always had bad experiences with them since legion
Think you prob just got a mental sore spot for it, so are hyper aware when it happens. Brain do love making patterns and reinforcing it's belief in em
Every kazzak player is mentally unstable too so that tracks
To me it seems more like a technical issue of sorts. As they do come back and say sorry. It doesn't matter how they perform or behave, it just happens
On P3 dimensius, how do you guys deal with the pull ropes on the active tank? Tank swap immediately on it, and then have the tank with the ropes heroic leap to the edge of the arena to make sure that the DPS have an as good as possible angle line of sight to work with?
i never really thought about it until now, is there a buff that we need to react to ?
not when cooldowns get reset. like a buff that changes rotation
yer tier set buff and, violent outburst
tier set how, we gain tunder blast proc. what's so special
Big damage
i know but i already do Thunder blast > shield slam on highest priority. how does the buff change it
Thats not correct and the tier set increases the damage of the next TB by 100%, which changes the prio
SS always unless TB has 2 charges
if it has 1 u still prio ss over it
then the rotation changes depending on target count
and violent outburst
does this charge come with 4p ? because i still dont have it and i have no idea about any charge
aaaa, i thought it was like 2 charges cooldown
real men press buttons
