You should be fine. Can always Shockwave or defensive if you think it's sketchy at the time

I mean, they're myth bracers with haste, they can't be bad

Not horrible

where do you even get disarmed this season

#

first boss streets if one of your dps dies?

ornate thicket
#

yeah thats just it, its my 2nd dawnthread embellish

half jewel
#

in the dead game mode, pvp

ornate thicket
#

but i jsut started playing again a few days ago so my bracers are the free story mode rune crest (704) and will be 720 after a few more keys

#

others options are good gains, but hero track so not long term keepers

weak bronze
#

So basically switch to thane at 4p or can 2p2p work?

ornate thicket
#

on wowhead it says to stay collosus until 4p

The endless vault questions, it's here!

@lusty grotto are we mythic tome haver friends?

mint knot
#

Quite surprising bloodborne and ravager generated almost 5k rage, pretty sweet. I consumed about 27.721 rage in this run. Assuming I'd run indomitable without dropping ravager/bloodborne... that'd be around 27.721 / 20 * 250k (25mil hp with indomitable) ~= 350m self healing extra from indomitable. Had 900m healing done, that'd be quite the survivability boost. What talent cooks do we have with indomitable + bloodborne + ravager?

mighty valley
#

Now calculate how much damage would've been reduced by shield spec

jagged pier
#

how much extra healing would have provide per second?

#

u also mean bloodsurge

#

because bloodbourne has nothing to do with rage gen

#

and shouldnt be picked as thane

#

its like a 1% increase

#

someone simmed it yesterday

lusty grotto
#

why do people want to make prot warrior a bdk

#

"self healing"

mint knot
#

Hmm

lusty grotto
#

jesus christ

jagged pier
#

whats funny is, if u run shield spec

dry skiff
#

yesterday i proced battle sacred veteran, at the end of a dungeon 2m healed overall
one dungeon later at dawn i felt like i'm ok all the time, 200m healed
any ideas ?

jagged pier
#

if would probably reduce more damage than they would heal with indom

dusky canopy
#

I just want Prot Warrior health bar to never move

lusty grotto
#

shield spec is 5 upgrades x 3 ilvls worth of block value on your shield

round pendant
#

I was self healing like 2m hps at one point in a key yesterday

mint knot
#

Shield spec seems fake ngl.

round pendant
#

well, "self healing" as in the number that showed on details

#

not real healing innit

round pendant
jagged pier
#

but your not self healing your putting a 50% absorb on yourself

lusty grotto
round pendant
#

it was funny tho cause I never see numbers that high when I play with my other healer friend

#

cause he just pads on me

nova monolith
#

why is it not recommended to craft ascension onto a onehander?

round pendant
#

god can someone write an essay on why block value is good?

nova monolith
#

i see everything recommends dawn or dusk lining?

round pendant
lusty grotto
#

ascension is only a week1/week2 embelish

nova monolith
#

ooooh ok, thanks

lusty grotto
#

you just remove it with a recraft

#

Was it nome? someone said how not using shield spec is like wearing an ilvl 700 shield instead of a 723 one

@lusty grotto Time for the only vault you care about, bear vault!

mint knot
# round pendant wrong

In that psf I took 2.5B phys damage. Shield spec would’ve saved me ~75mil. Yeah, seems fake to me.

jagged pier
#

so going indom would have given u an extra 90k HPS i think, but from just the melee alone if u had shield spec u would have taken 185k less per second @mint knot just based off the numbers u gave of 350million more healing u would have got

is myth signet worth taking for offspec vs +haste/vers weapon when i have crafted haste/vers weapon?
currently waiting on sim and i know myth weapon > crafted regardless of stats, but always hear signet being a sought after trinket for dps (have myth pacemaker/heroic tome)

block value

read block value

#

do you want the formula for block too?

mighty valley
round pendant
#

yeah shield spec is not fake

#

it's huge

jagged pier
#

i mean i just gave him the maths

#

350 million more healing over 32 mins of 185k less damage taken per second (ish)

#

slightly less casue crit blocks etc

lusty grotto
#

here you go, the current k value in myth raid is 4840, so have fun

#

now calculate block gained by ilvls

jagged pier
#

i mean it kinda simple u just multiple the blockable damage he did by 16%

mint knot
#

Cheers

jagged pier
#

that gives u the value it would have stopped

#

and i only did melees

lusty grotto
#

stop trying to make prot warrior a self sustainable tank

#

it never will be

jagged pier
#

not that there much else in priory to block

lusty grotto

thats not what we are

If I'm reading #protection message right, I have Myth Tome and Hero Brand. I have myth antenna in vault, but would not be worth taking?

but youre skipping a myth track pace?

in hopes of getting antenna in coming weeks, or at very latest dinar

lusty grotto

why would skipping pace

restive oak
#

cuz you're not gonna wear pace/antenna

lusty grotto

give you any more luck getting an antenna

#

yeah but you dont have antenna

#

i dont understand this line of thinking

#

youre betting on something you dont have

solid sun
#

Why won’t you wear pace and antenna

#

The antenna might give the pacemaker better signal

vivid spade
#

unless what you're picking instead is mythic track, "the item you're going to wear with full bis" - the argument is moot, because what you're picking will be replaced, same as mythic pace

Antenna is over hyped man

Wait until you prog soul hunters

Or saladbar or dimi boy

#

Run away from the orbs constantly

lusty grotto
#

antenna being good or not isnt the point

#

the point is

#

he has a myth track pace in his vault

#

and he doesnt have antenna

#

picking one will not block the other

#

so just pick the fucking myth pace

solid sun

I would pick pace because I agree with both brew and nim

Oh mahgurd sim says antenna is bis at 0% miss rate by 20k I MUST HAVE IT

#

but yea

mighty valley
#

part of me wants to craft a hasteless jewlery piece

round pendant
#

that's psychotic

plush tendon
mighty valley
#

but the second i do that all my myth vault stuff will have no haste

plush tendon
#

maybe choose after raid?

#

one of the raid trinkets on heroic is prob better then Sac?

lusty grotto
#

yeah i will probably do that

broken crater
plush tendon
#

I actually didnt realize that Sacbrood is number 4 for Fury

#

still, if you get trinket off first or third boss, youd prob use that

#

I bet first 2 are 100% puggable this week

fluid merlin
#

Man I just got Myth tome and hero brand from raid dropped for me guess im a prot main now

lusty grotto
#

im running the reclear with the guild

#

so idk if im gonna get stuff, if it drops we will see

icy haven
#

If theyre all at same ilvl, is best m+ trinket combo a brand and antenna?

lusty grotto
#

brand is a hard lock

#

the other one is a toss up between antenna/pace/tome

#

which is also your flex slot for nucleus

#

if you need it

#

so whatever you prefer

icy haven
#

Because theyre all close in sims?

lusty grotto
#

all of them have specialize in different situations within a key

#

tome is huge for prio targetting and bosses

#

the other two are good for overall

icy haven
#

I see, so probably tome on streets then

lusty grotto
#

streets can be also bad for brand

neon elk
#

I wouldnt realy say its a per dungeonc choice

lusty grotto
#

so yeah you can mix and match

neon elk
#

For tome i mean, more like adjust based on your team

lusty grotto
#

yeah Lommatik isnt wrong

round pendant
#

there's no reason I can't mix-match dawnthread and duskthread right

lusty grotto
#

you can

#

but im guessing sims like x2 of the same more

sleek mulch
#

anyone know if MDT is updated for HoA changes?

undone beacon
#

I really booted up discord and it went "We have custom themes now!" and showed me this

#

what the frick

lusty grotto
#

lol

sleek mulch
#

that is bright and awful lol

round pendant
lusty grotto
#

and i have the most current version

#

MDT devs are EU

#

so

#

it'll be a bit

round pendant
#

I might get the speed enchant on my wrists

#

yknow what tho, I wonder if the avoidance enchant works out to be more mitigation than the leech?

#

anyone done the maths on that?

lusty grotto
#

uhhh

#

i dont think it'll make much difference

round pendant
#

yeah it's minor

#

just curious

nocturne spindle
#

for us?

#

i dont think theres any aoe hits that really hurt

#

avoidance is specifically aoe reduction right?

lusty grotto
#

yes

round pendant
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

the only one that comes to mind are bloodwarpers but

#

thats just such a unique case

round pendant
#

shards, bloodguards

lusty grotto
#

you literally only fight one

round pendant
#

uhh

#

nothing that hurts us as the tank

lusty grotto
#

bloodguards you just skip

#

shards are w/e

round pendant
#

speed might be nice for m+ just for that slightly faster movement

#

but I'll just go leech again ig

fuck it i picked the sacbrood, with my luck im probably not gonna get shit this week from raid

agile cairn
#

gg guess im simming for the rest of my life

lusty grotto
#

your answer is #1

#

hope you got a crafted shield

agile cairn
#

i have mythiuc antenna and hero brand

round pendant
#

that's 3 tomes

#

guess I'm definitely not getting one tomorrow

agile cairn
#

thinks it worth swapping brand for tome

round pendant
#

thanks guys

#

thanks a lot

lusty grotto
#

go shield then

lean furnace
#

focusing lens or ascension for a crafted weap??

lusty grotto
#

nothing

lean furnace
#

ohf r?

lusty grotto
#

since you can put dawn/dusk on shield

#

and on bracer

lean furnace
#

ah tru

lusty grotto
#

those are your 2 embelishments

agile cairn
#

hear me out tho we are killinmmg mythic loomithart already and its a matter of time for the drop

#

fuck me

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats true

#

you did mention you had myth antenna

undone beacon
#

Well then you can wait for raid and see if it drops and you get it

lusty grotto
#

just hold vault

#

if shield drops, pick tome

#

just to have it

#

if shield doesnt drop, pick shield

#

yeah what Pash said

#

honestly you have both myth shield and myth gloves available on your kills so tome is the only one that you cant actually farm

#

just hold it until then

#

would you use it over your combo? it depends, you certainly would for raid

#

and for keys it depends

agile cairn
#

i chain pujll craqzy i sit like 15 stacks on brand the whole key

#

probs wouldnt swap it ? idk

#

ill havew to sim

lusty grotto
#

not brand

#

antenna

#

thats your swap

#

tome will beat it in ST though, so you do want it for raid

prisma vortex
lusty grotto
#

ive mentioned this before but hero brand or higher is a hard lock

lusty grotto
#

2h as arms applies discounts for both fury and prot

prisma vortex
#

cool thanks! suppose if vault is giga shit with a 2h i can always take that

lusty grotto
#

free uppies to 1h/shield and offhand 2h

prisma vortex
#

thanks!

lusty grotto
#

right but

#

why would you not want a 2h

#

if youre opening as dps

#

you would be opening as prot if that wasnt the case

prisma vortex
#

im opening as dps for trinkets

lusty grotto
#

why

prisma vortex
#

got tome and brand already

lusty grotto
#

oh

prisma vortex
#

xd

lusty grotto
#

but you want a myth shield

#

and a myth 1h

prisma vortex
#

got 1h myth

#

ill get shield aswell from mythic raid surely

lusty grotto
#

ok then youre fucked you do want to open as prot

plush tendon
#

homie is just getting all the loots

#

he could open as Holy Priest and be fine

lusty grotto
#

he doesnt have myth shield

#

so not there yet

#

close though

plush tendon
#

if hes myth raiding, he'll get the crit/haste one from 3rd boss soon enough

Hey folks, what was the haste limit to use into the fray in dungeons?

lusty grotto
#

21k

obsidian girder
#

Ty

lusty grotto
#

thats the recommended minimum amount of rating you need to play it

#

otherwise its heavy repercussions time

obsidian girder
#

Yep, was unsure about the amount. Thanks for clarification

solid sun
#

Apparently there’s a guy in EU who sets up runs to kill Dimmy on Heroic to help people get aotc and he solo tanks the encounter

#

I didn’t even know that was a thing

#

I can just tell my group I’m solo tanking him

#

Because that’d be kinda sick

mellow bridge
#

it's a bdk if it's the guy im thinking of

lusty grotto
mellow bridge
#

he does it every single season if it's doable

#

hundreds of endboss hc kills at the end of the season

lusty grotto
#

there are 2-3 groups in NA that do it

#

perky pugs is done also a group that kalamazi joins in

#

yeah sorry, not specifically solo tanking

solid sun
#

Very interesting. I just assumed if you didn’t tank swap you’d get smoked

lusty grotto
#

and big dam

#

so the best of everything

solid sun

I can tell you that as someone who dabbles in monk

#

In keys, you can definitely fly too close to the sun

If you suck

And pull too much

It’s great

I was going to dabble in bear

tulip remnant

I decided to play bear and have some regrets with it

solid sun

But my good buddy Nimchip revealed the true nature of bear players

tulip remnant
#

As I’m now gearing both prot specs and brew

lusty grotto
#

dotc is super fun though

solid sun
#

I think the best thing about bear is you can give yourself one of the brightly colored skins

tulip remnant
solid sun
#

And then you don’t need a marker over your head

lusty grotto

just run white werebear

tulip remnant

I usually run Skunk Bear

solid sun

I don’t have any werebears

#

Because I never played bear

But I do have gummy bears

lusty grotto

its ok

Well, rarely

lusty grotto
#

you can get wooden werebear

#

and green werebear

tulip remnant

Or Fel bear

#

Haven’t done those yet ngl

@lusty grotto Is it true that warriors mitigation scales better than other tanks? Even tho they are already super tanky, someone told met that and wondering if true

Why didn’t you ask me

What the heck

I’d ask Nimchip, too

@solid sun pls see above 😂

Prot war is essentially mega aggron, If you’re cultured like that

Block is super powerful. Powerful enough sometimes blizz says “you can’t block these things”

And when that happens we are really sad

There arent really any tank that scales better then the others

noble mountain
#

New to prot in m+
For a really dumbed down version of dealing dps am I just spamming thunder blast/clap and shield slam while using rage on shield block and IP?
And only revenge with free procs? I think I read somewhere that we want to revenge once at the start to apply a dot or debuff?

tulip remnant
#

The clappa and profit

plush tendon
#

yea, the basics of prot are to press your generators on CD and to not overcap rage

#

Revenge is last prio

noble mountain
#

We don’t want to open with revenge at the start? Or if we get a free procs?

plush tendon
#

dont open with Revenge

noble mountain
#

Open was a bad choice of words, I thought it applied a dot or something that we wanted to get on there near the start

high latch
#

MT doesn't care about the free revenge proccs either

noble mountain
#

Oh that’s good to know about the free procs, I’ll stop tracking them lol

#

So the dot revenge applies is not important?

#

I don’t remember the name of it

high latch
#

It is, but it'll happen naturally as applying it is lower prio than SS and claps.

#

Deep Wounds

noble mountain
#

Ah ok good to know it’s low priority

#

Thank you 🙏🏽

plush tendon
#

Deep Wounds is applied by Revenge and Devestator

#

but its not something worth thinking about

noble mountain
#

Awesome Ty 🙏🏽

solid sun
#

Don’t forget to face your enemies

#

Giving them your back means you can’t block their attacks

#

Making gathering the hardest part and it will take the most practice

noble mountain
#

That goes for all tanks right?

high latch
#

Druid don't really care, but most tanks do, yes

plush tendon
#

bears do dodge a lot

#

so yea, keep mobs in front, always

mighty valley
#

it affects 100% of our mitigation so it matters more i guess? but yeah. good practice for all tanks

high latch
#

Yes, you definitely don't want to ignore their position totally. But bears don't get insta killed if they get a few mobs behind them fora couple of seconds like other tanks.

plush tendon
#

it matters for basically all tanks

high latch
#

It does.

Upgrading from last season diamond, would you guys chose a heroic logic gate alpha or a champion band of the shattered soul? Hard to figure out how useful the reishi wrap cantrip is?

mighty valley
#

i wouldn't drop ilvl for that effect

plush tendon
#

regardless, either upgrade is temporary

mighty valley
#

life is temporary

plush tendon
lusty grotto
#

myth diamond tends to sim very high

plush tendon
#

Hero and Champ track gear are basically the same in that regard

solid sun
#

I was going to say that!

lusty grotto
#

just a heads up

solid sun
#

I had to clean my hands from hot wings sauce dadgum it. Harrow too fast

lusty grotto
#

but its not worth dropping to that ilvl for it since it bugs out regularly

plush tendon
#

and the Demi ring has a lot of haste on it

plush tendon
#

reality is... its probably a long term socket angle regardless

#

unless you really struggle getting myth vaults

lusty grotto
#

you will if you havent gotten good myth rings

#

and/or if everything else is higher prio for picks

lusty grotto
#

at least not nowadays

mighty valley
#

"my spec scales harder" is a 20 year cope at this point

lusty grotto
#

we tend to have crafted shields pretty early, and the only thing that can boost it up is a myth shield which is 3 ilvls higher

#

Not entirely right

#

Like bdk really does struggle to live in higher keys

lusty grotto
#

our DR remains unchanged with gear

I think it just means by what we mean with that question

harrow is 100% correct

#

the scale thing is not really modern wow

plush tendon

I will say though; baseline Prot War at the start of a new expansion

kind of goated

n00b question: In Nexus King, you taunt while the ability is being cast on the other tank, and after the cast the boss turns his attention to you.

Is that normal? I've always assumed if you taunted during a cast, it'd screw things up. I always waited till the cast was over.
