Were you not tanking boss next to lantern?
1000% gamesense
However
Thats the fate of trying to pusk
Few weeks into the season
Missed the good players who r already on the 17 18 19
Now youre stuck with that
Hello, im pretty new to prot warrior. Just curious, how much does ilvl make a difference for shields in terms of survivability and damage.
survivability a lot
damage, depends on secondary stats but we dont focus on those
the most important thing about shields is ilvl only because its our only piece with block, so ilvl means bigger block value
and strength, and armor+stam
any trinkets in the chat?

Imagine getting 3 trinket options but not tome or pace 
i dont understand why this garbage keeps getting reset to 60
Guys why is floodgate such a stinky 18 to time
I don't raid, surely I go gloves yeah, my crafted shield does just fine
did raid with no luck and did a sim and my current equipment is top gear, so it sounds like im going to cata the shoulders i guess, and hope ire drops next week
shield
Maybe he is really scared of ghosts, and a ghost chasing him made him panic
can i pre avatar before putting a key in?
no
you can only:
- Last Stand
- Rallying Cry
thats it
cds that you can do that that reset have to be cooldowns of 3 mins or longer
Hey y'all trinket question, i just picked up a pacemaker, i already have an antenna and tome, but from what i understand tome is being overestimated in sims? is that a thing?
no
its not a thing
quick question, if I have 2 stacks of thunder blast and avatar comes off cd, do I try to spend them, just send or spend at least one?
spend one

To what nim said, u can also pre pot in key if u are into kind of "min max"
socket angle 
yes, pre pot is clear. didnt know the 3min+ rule
Hey it’s Zeppe
In my good warr discord
Guys give me a good episode of simpsons to watch with dinner
Mr Plow
U already have antenna?
nope
Anyone have a bug on Hylbrande where the runes just disappear? We just had to call it because twice in a row we had no runes to fill the consoles. Like they all spawned at the start, people put them in, and then we were just missing one (2 the second time)
Nah never happened to me
What are u using where antenna isn't an upgrade? Ire/antenna is massive

i always get told to sim and the sim said the antenna was a dps loss, so thats why i asked as i thought that was the play
perhaps your sim wasnt set up correctly
but to be fair
Tome will outsim it in pure ST
depending if that's what youre using in place of antenna
How hard is antenna to play as tank with the movement? I guess mostly not too bad? I’m also not doing giga keys
Hey guys why we play brutal vitality over fueled by violence? wont it do a toon of healing? just asking out of curiosity im new to pwar
no it doesnt
not with thane
it does with colossus + tier
brut vit is a lot better for thane due to rage intake
I see thanks, i saw the conversation yesterday about the shield spec that i was not playing, tested it on a key rn and on yea i got baited into streamers builds
many such cases
quick google search shows 2 things
1, in raid, you see other players so kekw.exe
its not hard
nah you dont cause you play essentials
so other player's shit disappears
and 2 , it looks like something you might confuse as chasing you and trying to kill you because its a purple floaty thingy that follows you
apparently you can just miss getting the buff
transmitter was harder
antenna isnt a big deal to get the orb
can use a WA if you need to for announcing
im sure there is some /say "get the ball you dummy gives you power" wa on wago
and this shit is important
some things never change
need?! NEED!!! need? do u need it, plz give it to me i could become the best player in all of wow if u give me (item, lets say arakara sac, pre-nerf)
Did i miss some changes about gambit ? At dragon boss mobs are at different location?
unless they pushed something today, nothing has changed
Weird , it was like 10ish hours back but kinda firget about it till now
at least in NA as of yesterday
Gotta check today after reset, maybe it was just some silly bug or something but honestly it was better that way xd
so like
soleahs should beat seaforium assuming you account for the buff you give to the other person
its just more overall stat
right?
hmm
The buff for the other person is pretty small
Idk how big the gap is on personal sims
yea but its like 2003 secondary stat total for soleah
and average 1757 for a pacemaker at 710
Maybe someone triggered rp early or didn't trigger rp
trying to brain a reason it shouldnt be better
ohhh so thats what he meant
i thought he was talking about the adds during the fight
Guess i should be more specific , yes thats what i mean, and hinestly im not sure about whole rp thing
you just take a step in
before going down
and the RP triggers
this has been that way even during SL
Somebody usually triggers it while you're fighting the previous pack
okay yea im not crazy
soleahs should "techincally" beat pacemaker
aint no way that 200 stat aint like 6k dps
I mean that looks like margin of error
yea it is
but then account for giving some dps a tiny bit of stat
thats whta i was asking
well in theory, pacemaker is better in burst windows
i did a super long sim
overall though
cause i think overtime it averages
i think that the sim speaks for itself
That's not really relevant
Not really relevant in a sim though, you sim for personal damage
yes but that wasnt my question lol
And DPS missing a global will be a bigger loss than no soleah buff. Just a nice to have thing
Default locations before RP completes is one left, one right, one far end of the arena. After RP, the far one moves into the middle between the left and right packs.
Damn i had it other way around the whole time or am i slow .. guess we learn something every day
A lot of pugs will trigger the rp so it's common that it's already done.
My war just surpassed my pally in ilvl cus i investes in Tome 723 only to get 723 Pacemaker on the next week.
War is 714 and will bê 715 after a few dungeons. Pally is 713 and will end at 714.
Pally is 4 16/4 15 and war is gonna be resil 15 this week.
Kinda late reply, but if i always have them way back does that mean nobody ever poped that rp?
Yes
You have to run a decent bit forward for the rp to trigger when you're fighting that pack on the hill
And then you leap down and fight two packs and it hurts everyone forever
I was today years old when I realised that I needed to actually raid in order to have the vault chance at Brand, fml.
Been doing M+ and the T11 delves only and hoping it would drop D:
Is there any interaction between Violent Outburst and the tier set TB procs? Just getting back on my pwarrior for the first time in ages, I know it wouldn't be worth holding ever to line it up just kind of curious.
🤔
Delves only give delve gear in vault. M+ only gives m+ in vault, raid only gives raid gear in vault. All can give tier pieces
Yeah I thought it was just increasing your slot and drop il chances, didn’t realise the items were exclusive to the content (tier being the only exception).
Figured it was 3,6,9 x vault chances sharing an equal chance at an item, just differing item levels.
for M+ this may be a dumb question but we are always in dstance right?
yeah
i mean, in the few places you're taking no damage and are really trying to sweat it out
it's technically free to switch for 3% crit
but it's basically never worth the mindshare
does 3% crit matter for any procs?
nah nothing meaningful
any time!
is it possible to get out of a mindshare or is it like a timeshare where you're locked in forever
You'll get all the details if you'll just join me for this free* breakfast and presentation tomorrow
Where's the fine print!?
Look under your seat
There's nothing there but how crazy would it be if there were
What level should I ditch my DISC belt at?
Sim but prob 710
damn 15 min wait on raidbots.. longest I have seen in a while..
thinking the chest.. but that ring is nice too
the ring sims almost the same as the chest.. but a catalyst chest is the highest and that could be any chest..
I will take the ring without any hesitation if you really missing some hatse/crit
Thats the idea, you can get any chest later on and cata. But what are the chances to get a good ring?
doesnt matter
rings are minimal and have no Strength
biggest stat pool = chest/legs/helm
not only that but armor/stam/primary stat
picking ring over chest is a bad call
ESPECIALLY that ring
which you can farm in hm taz
True i agree we always aim for main stats / armor.. etc, but i dunno my point of view in this game is always pick a rare item over something i can have easily later on if i really need those 2 stats crit and haste… i dunno this is my thinking ..
yeah rare item picks are fine
its just not in this particular pick
and the ring is farmable weekly, so is the chest if you do myth raiding but only if you do myth raiding
With crafting, Rings from vault lost a lot of value overall
hey anyone else using TWW dungeons WA + causese anchors? it seems to be freezing my game D:, anyone else with this isssue?
normal soul hunters boots would not be worth dropping myth track boots for right?
not even close, no
didn't think so
@round pendant a hpriest just healed my 16 halls and crushed it, maybe theres hope for your friend after all
You wouldn't cata that one. It's the off piece
You don't cata a haste/crit chest
how do u guys sim warrior, just patchwerk 5 minutes?
Yes.
Good morning ppl, what to be bootsh heroic from raid with 40%, legs myth or shield myth?
I would take myth legs for catalyst
You have crafted shield not worth taking myth shield
I was thinking for boots heroic with 40% effect more for back no?
You can get them from heroic I wouldn’t bother taking hero from vault
Its shield, myth shield > that everything
Ye but not when you have crafted
Crafting a shield is temperary until u get a myth shield
Is 4 week and dont see boots
And he’s missing lots of myth pieces
Usually sim it if you are unsure
But I’m 90% sure its gonna be shield or legs
On max upgrade ofc
If you don't myth raid, take the shield
I dont do myth only heroic pug or buy raid
is this trinket good considering it has a channel and should I swap the pacemaker for it?
no
is tome of light's devotion good for us? And should we always switch to the crit version when possible with it like on vdh or nah?
M+ context
got a myth one in vault. I just started gearing my prot warr so I don't have the ire on it yet
https://gyazo.com/d128b2b101712807d89344f0f5c0ba5c
send help, i have 704 chest, and 720 crafted ring what do i pick lads?
I feel like it isn't in Sword mode enough, I'd rather just have some like the Pacemaker, being consistent pull to pull.
What to choose? (Got 720 crafted weapon and 1 720 crafted ring)
(Weapon sims the best)
sword
u sim
highest damage is the biggest defesnive, becuase it mostly means its giving u more ilvl and thats the biggest factor in suviving through gear
because mostly surviving comes from playing correctly
For AOE m+ I sim patchwerk 5 boss targets 40 seconds ?
And ST 1 boss target 5 minutes ?
So ST 1 boss 3 mins ok and AOE 5 boss 1:30 ?
is shield our most important slot or main hand weapon?
Thanks, that is what I was thinking as well 🙂
shield
kk ty!
a trinket question pls , i have hc ire and hc tome and hc seaforium , got myth track antena in voult or myth track sholders , is there any obv answer w/o simming , my content is myhic raid (4/8) and 12-13 keys so far
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2UgqTEgU87SSz9RozfpvVh lol everything is on minus @jagged pier
well your not fully upgrading them???
Cant do it because website tell me I dont have enough gilded crests
One moment
thnx @jagged pier I redo now
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uuFFSagwJT8AdYMiLLMCLY look @jagged pier
if I take chest, I should keep that as off tier..? or catalyst..? catalyst simming about 0.3% higher with my stats..
@jagged pier after sim kinda shield is bad comparing with legs
i could have told u off the bat legs would sim more, but shield is your biggest defesnive value gain, and not taking one is kinda silly but thats up to u, u also didnt replace the emblishment is has on any other piece so of course it dramtically simmed less
So u say the 3 ilvl is so important more then 13 ilvls from legs that give more ilvl/stamina/stats hm ?
yes because its the only piece that gives block
man fk block
a fair bit, for instance dropping shield spec talent is like running a 700 ilvl shield instead of a 723 in terms of how much more DR u will take
3ilvls on a shield is a fair chunk of DR versus blockable damage
anyone has an idea when haste/crit value diminish ? or do you just prioritize that over mastery/vers regardless ?
when sims tell u
Srry what is DR ?
damage reduction
I asked it YoDaTV and him say same legs is better then shield
xD just go with fkin leggs man
horrible vault
dw i still have dogwater trinkets and the game doesnt give nice ones
ill pprobably juust get legs and make them tierset and call it a day
if I take chest, I should keep that as off tier..? or catalyst..? catalyst simming about 0.3% higher with my stats..
I know alot ppl ask this,but what is best % of haste to have ?
should i get the myth helm here or the myth shield? i have a 720 crafted shield and a hero helm
Oh i see there was a discussion above about a shield. So i guess the shield?
Pretty sure ill get some random myth helmet in the vault again that i catalyze anyway
I refuse to take myth shield since the second it does the fucking loomithar one will finally drop
Only exception would be as weeshy said, if you are doing Myth raid. I would go Shield even with 720 crafts, as you saw in ealier messages, shield craft is temporary and you aim to replace it with a 723 anyway
Sound good, ill Grab the shield then. Thanks!
long live the shield
So I have this severely undergeared prot warrior and I am not sure about my vault. Trinket or Legs?
legs
Alright, ty.
hey guys, I have a little issue with mt
I overcap on range a lot in dungeons or range
press ignore pain
and have to spend it on ignore pagew
just about to say it
😄
but ignore pain is already at full
yeah u press it a lot
it doesnt matter u overcap
doesnt matter. u spend rage to get avatar back
u just send
is it worth it
ofc it is
when you use the soleahs sim option in raidbots, thats just picking what stat you're getting from someone else, not you being given one by someone else right?
@elder oasis in this case you don't care about ovecapping IP, you are spending rage, which translate into Avatar CD reduction, so more avatar 🙂 and you generate rage with SS/TC/TB so you can spam more IP to use more rage etc...
whats the "haste soft cap" for Into the fray guys? around 22k?
Good morning everyone. I have a question. Do we need to find a critical softcap? Or if you're going to push high keys, are you just going to use cele versa? Thanks!
Gem question : if we only use Haster/crit gems, we don't get full profit from the diamond since it's "per different color" ?
Yes, you can use diff colors if you want to maximize diamond effect.
I’m having trouble generating rage, what abilities do you guys hit most to get rage? Shield slam and thunderclap?
SS in prio yes, TC/TB then
Shield block to keep up as much as possible
Revenge only to resume SS CD basically
And IP to use rage, around 70 rage to not use too much but also not losing rage
Ah alright gotcha thanks mate that’s very helpful
The theory is easy 🙂
when do we rplace delve belt?
hey guys if I do this i am droping from 27kish haste to 22k shy, meaning i won't be running ITF, while also having 35% mastery. Do I go for it?https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7jZtLY8WGUqgbuydxs1mKL
given that i don't raid nor want to, should i go for Peacemaker here or are HC trinkets still better?
I like Pacemaker/Ire for keys. Not always the best but mainstay and 50%+ uptime on Crit buff.
myth track should be beter, but you can sim yourself to check your situation
cuz i got a mastery vers belt in vault
yeah that's true
My belt simmed better at 704, the belt from Floodgate for example
quicksim tells me i should take Cursed Stone Idol trinket, while i also have a mythic chest in vault, do u think it´s wise to take the trinket?
Yea, I was also back then simming higher on 704, but now im running embelish720, thats easy solution
its in A tier on wowhead
even if that means i havent completed my 4 pc set?
You should be able to transmute some pieces to tier no ?
depends on your preference and current gear, you can easily complete 4pc with hero items, myth would be better, but chest isnt best piece either, so there is no simple one to go solution, if you have decent other trinkets you can go with chest, if you prefer trinket thats fine as well
i see ty for ur help
guess ill go with the trinket and transfer the other items ❤️
Assuming you are playing Thane, 4p is quite insame. So even if you don't have heroic gear, as you should have some transmute available, i'll make 4p with what you have to get it.
And you'll upgrade later on the pieces
did they change resilient rules ? i got my 16 resil yesterday. keystone still says 15 resil
heard it's a bug with resilient keys going around
Got codex of the first technique in vault (other 2 I already have). Is it useful? Read that it still can pull enemies within 100 yards
Otherwise I take socket
it's not
Guys what to upgrade at max legs tier myth or pacemaker myth ?
you can sim that but pacemaker should be a better item to upgrade
will it deplete or is it just visual bug
not 100% sure about the details of it
I know the rule is sim yourself but...
I'm really unsure.
The idea of a new shield that is not crafted sound just too good to pass on.
As a helm will be easier to get.
Golden rule is shield first 🙂
What I thought. I'll just need to tweak some stats later on, then.
Yes vers/mast not the best but they are not to be avoided at all !
I personnaly might not have enougth of those 😄
I feel like I'm getting too much Mastery.
It's nice to have someone else reminding us to do the right thing 😄
You get a myth shield, and you don't have it yet, good vault 😄
We can't always have very good luck ^^
anyone on this?
heyo. got a question. what is a good amount of haste/crit to go for?
You want enough haste to keep shield block up with in the fray talented, so 25-26k. It’s down to your comfort level
After that just sim for best stats
Why would you go for 140k upgrade and then untalent itf which gives you like 8% or so dps.
Is myth sacbrood any good for us or not really
kinda torn between hc boots or myth helm/shield from vault
sims say helm is the better for dps but idk, im still wearing veteran boots
Myth shield if you don't have one already
you can get any other hc boots easier than myth item, and as Yam said - myth shield is prio if you dont have one
even if i crafted one at 720ilvl?
does prot play very different now compared to DF?
nah
sick
just picked up my dusty lv 75 warrior, time to polish it up
660 ilv for starter, what i could get without breaking the bank. Surely sufficient for 6 keys
good enough for 10s if your group isnt clowning
723>720
i thought u wanted bootS?
I finally got hero boots and I still don't have myth shield
so it's myth shield
was wild tho, 5 weeks basically to replace my 684 boots lmao
vers mast on shield is just a feelsbad moment tho
now I need to decide
upgrade my myth legs this week or craft a belt?
since my thread on my shield is going byebye
flip a coin
🪙 here Yam, I can share mine 😄
Maybe a recurent question sorry, I know the target for haste, but is there any recommended minimum for Mastery / Vers ? I changed things up and upgraded few things and have no really any left :x
2k Mastery and 1700 Vers ...
Shield barely have any secondary stats and there’s nothing wrong with vers or mastery.
I know this
it shows the wrong icon
that's actually a crafted belt, strange
I think I am keeping my myth shield, also isn't blizzard going to let us upgrade it even more soonish?
wait no it's not 
god sims jsut don't work properly sometimes
no idea how it's showing disc belt is a 1.2% upgrade over.. disc belt
Ya my delve belt with the crit proc sims higher than any belt I can get
Can't wait for them to nerf it
I'm just confused because it shouldn't be a gain over itself
lmao
oh I had top gear selected nvm I'm stoopid
Hell yeah
You are siming in your mind already no need for simbot 😉
I think your sim was changing your belt proc and that is why it simmed higher than itself cause it out a different proc in
nah I just had top gear selected and didn't realise
guys, how good is Band of the Shattered Soul, got it in the vault, heroic track???
any thoughts??
wouldn't take that over myth anything tbh
Same.
as every wednesday, so many vault questions that could be answered by reading this: #protection message
Its not anything insane
sent the gloves and saved the link from @fathom oasis
was expecting a better chest this week, but this will do as well
another slot filled with a M track item, so we are gucci!
I've had terrible luck on soul hunter boots and I'm still rocking champ track. Should I swap to Myth track regular boots until I get Hero/Myth track soul hunter boots? I had boe myth boots drop last night in our raid, deciding whether to equip them or sell them
Does antenna count as a dps trinket? I'm asking for the vault loot spec pinned message
Like does loot spec matter to maximise my chances?
you would if the stats sim better
Brand, 1-handers and shields all require prot spec
Antenna is apt for every spec, no spec has more chances because it simply is considered an apt item or it is not (afaik)
You could look into how large the item pool is for each spec, and choose the one with the smaller pool if everything you care about is getting antenna
Tome too, which is one of the best single target trinkets for us
Myth/crafted boots are better than hero reshi boots
definitely replace champ track ones lol
Sick, good to know. I hadn't seen that mentioned anywhere before, every list just says soul hunter boots are bis
At similar tracks, sure
That was my thought honestly. I'm not really struggling with damage taken at this point so was feeling dumb just rocking them for so long
There is a point to be made that hc boots arent bad in m+, but still myth track ones just have much more stats and cloak passive is only defensive
curious, what do yall use as your nameplate addon?
I was fucking around with my plater last night; trying to find good ways to better track important mobs in big pulls
but maybe there is a better option?
plater
plater
do you guys just download a profile?
yes
I was experimenting with some mods to change the color of mobs in dungeons or resize the nameplates for important mobs in pulls
we just download a profile, yes
there was also one that removed all nameplates if a interruptable cast was going
IDK if thats reasonable XD
a lot of people use AUI or Naowh
or quazii
yeah thats a plater script
dorki has it
I just helped my DK install naowh because he was playing with plater and no profile
thats it
he had no clue what the fuck was going on in the dungeons but seems like thats enough to clear 15/16s as a DPS
ima take a look at this
I think id prefer something for resize
thats not a profile
first pull Ara Kara and Gambit have been so messy
its a mod
i know
i know theres a lot of people here that use Jundies
ive almost exclusively used atrocity before early DF and then naowh after that
so much of this game is just fighting nameplates tbh
ngl... pretty much
should I just take mythic head over hero brand/rare boots? I pug heroic every week
so much of MMOs in general is fighting nameplates
boots arent a big deal for tanks
you can also buy them in prob 3-4 weeks once dinars come out
but Myth Items, especially for non Mythic raiders are harder to come by
ye figured
maybe do hardmode first
I havnt taken my vault yet until I do first two on mythic and HM
Myth gloves or weapons? I can always get gloves from raid as i clear 2/8M weekly but man it feels awful i have champion gloves atm
weapon drops from first boss though.. so sad
but will it
do you have a lot of competition for gloves?
even though i have a crafted weapon i should go for a weapon over gloves?
run HM and Mythic raid first
then decide
ilvl > all on weapons
yeah i just did raid and sadly no tier from 2nd boss
Gloves also drop from second boss
how about HM?
I dont think i have a good group to run HM
i swear to christ augusto is the only person that runs HM
I usually just clear 2/8M weekly
I do it like 2-3 times a week
not this one
yea, i just have friends who are also alt aholics
but people pug it
no reason not to try
in NA? LOL
I mean, its either do with group, try with pug, or dont do at all
if you dont have a group, trying it with a pug is better then not doing it
if someone dies, its done and you gg
its fine
you think i didnt try to farm HM in DF?
i know how it goes
NA is crickets land
nobody wants to fucking do it
I think its wasted opprotunity
its wasted time spent in the group finder
but whatever; if you dont do HM, then just take wep
wasted time is worse than wasted opportunity
I waste plenty of time bricking keys in pugs
btw guys, can i start using crest to upgrade hero gear atm? As turbo boost coming in two weeks, should we still only use glided on myth items only or we can send it now on hero
its fine, part of the game
yeah well at least youre doing something
I would hold gilded
group finder sim = doing nothing
but wont it be uncapped in two weeks?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eU4Etwnw1F23gMq2PefRJv - Could someone help me understand if im going about gems/enchants the correct way. Its showing mastery as what I should be using on my back. I always thought that mastery was our worse dps stat? Should i start using a mastery flask?
dont sim gems
couldnt figure out how to sim flasks or i wouldve done it too
and dont sim flasks
I honestly do know
if it is... then yea, just send
also thats a 5 min sim
but prio your myth pieces and crafts first
you dont wanna 5target 5 min sim
you wanna 5 target 1.5 min sim
unless youre comparing brand to something else
ive been so gilded crest starved for weeks with too many myth item upgrades to do
that I havnt even thought about upgrading hero pieces XD
Thank you!! ill re-run it. Should i be using haste or vers flask or something else then? i just do m+
you should be using alchemical
like everyone does
and tempered pots
its in our guide
Okay cool ill go re-read that then, thank you 😄
as for gems, you can sim them, but only haste + x stat (ideally haste + crit)
and yes
mastery is a good stat
we have no stats that we want to avoid
being last in the prio doesnt mean you want to avoid it
What about intellect
Does using an int weap make you smart enough to realize you’re using an int weap and unequip, only for you to then be too dumb to not reequip it, thus catching you in a vicious cycle of equipping and unequipping, unable to do anything else until you die from exhaustion?
I got a probably stupid question, but I am seeing conflicted answers on the net. Can I block while I jump around? I have the bad habbit to spam spacebar when I am just doing rotation.
yes you can as long as youre facing mobs
Okay, I was wondering because I noticed some spikes while shied block was up, and I was jumping.
I suggest leather boots too. Way more comfortable
jump height is important though, if you jump higher than the normal z-axis you wont be able to
for example when mobs are on a sub level below and you climb up stairs and jump down or something
I also hear enchanting your chest also makes it really comfortable
like adding a handwarmer, but for your belly

Just Spacebar spam while I do my standart rotations. I got hit hard by the orb boss in dawnbreaker for 60-70% damage from his tank hit. I assumed I didn't block but I guess it's just bad gear
would have to see logs
Yeah I should look into checking logs I guess. I am gonna do some research, thanks.
no
it only works with a 2 hander (and you have to equip as arms and relog)
otherwise 1 hander applies to 1 hander, and offhand to offhand
exclusively
Nah that’s not true
Myth legs in vault good enough
also make sure youre not jumping over the mobs
you can jump in place
and that will be fine
but if youre jumping over a mob, you will get slapped
i know that should be obvious given the example with jump height, but just in case its not
your character's hitbox should not ever be directly over a mob's hitbox, is what i mean by "over" them

remap spacebar to SS and you are good 😄
Handwarmer enchant for the gloves 😮
I got a question for all the fellow tanks.
Are you struggling in FG past 16 ? I feel like I just get eaten up alive even with SB / SW up.
n demo
On MOMA?
Moma is easy when you keep demo SR timings properly
I mean on add packs
like 2nd pull, big pull before momma
also 1st pull sometimes I drop down to 10%, guess I should move back abit from robot windups when shockwave is on cd
yo
here's 1 log from a 16 run. Died after MOMA
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/RVfFvMgdjyqKTHkP?fight=last&source=18&type=summary
90% of the time every time you dip its because of the dot stacks
Thinking of tank a raid first time tonight. Ive tanked mplus so im familiar. But for raid how do i know when to taunt etc?
Used to flying solo xD
Thanks for the answer, been trying out all kinda scenarios and I just cant seem to get it right. But yeah, makes sense since I struggle with the packs that have mobs that apply that dot.
@charred ivy Usually DBM etc tells you when to, also check guides. Good to know strat before hand
Dbm will do it auto or i need activate smt? It sense im tanking i guess?
floodgate is a really hard key to time
but I felt perfectly fine a couple of weeks ago when we did a 16 Flood
I havnt attempted on a 17 yet... timer in that place is so whack
^Same here, but recently it's just so hard.
I did time a 16 yesterday. the Rdudu was spot on felt so ez
tbf I like holy palas n rdudus over rshams
it's like gambling when picking rshams n mages
I just pug all day so, not in a team etc
I do both right now
try to get reps in/some score on my own
while the homies finish up CE
I do feel like I would like to get a team, but ppl are so easily offended and cant deal with couple of depleted keys
so it feels mainly like a waste of time
DBM will tell you, you still need to know the tank swap abilities 🙂
Though so is sitting in LFG and trying to get grp
so you can prepare for it and see them coming ^^
yea, Ive raided for a long time and changed guilds once or twice
or had friends changed guilds
so our group just formed from friends of friends
do keys one day with a homie, goes well, he asks his friend if he wants some score
and boom
you suddenly have 5 people
So I'm not crazy. The timer is just insane, even if you do huge pulls.
yea, that place is nuts
its 100% the hardest key to time
I feel like even if I oull super big I will have troubles timing it.
DB
and the hard keys are Priory and Floodgate
everyones got different routes in Priory
but if you can get through the first area clean, its GG
I still don't feel like I can go right.
but its getting there thats tricky
all your drops coincide with stacks
going right makes a lot of sense for groups
youre dropping in first pull due to something else though
since it makes the first boss 100% easier
since you reduce bad damage overlaps
and kicks are being done properly
And honestly.
like, we arent letting a single fireball through
The Judgement + the DoT fucking HURTS.
theres no reason to go left
if you dont have kicks, left will be harder anyway
and your healer will be miserable during boss
this is how my group is currently doing the front of priory
right side has minimal casters, and just a rotation on mini during boss
still making some adjustments
but overall, pretty happy with it; the only real point of contention is pull 2 and 3 honestly
so, in delves, as prot, I want to have Brann as dps, and I can mostly swing it, but i find that I can't really keep my health up despite using shield block every time its available, one use of ignore pain, am I supposed to be spamming ignore pain?
I have been wondering about that but I recall reading on the tooltip, something about how its only half as effective if its already up or something?
you kind of have to
can I trust pugs to go right? can I trust pugs to live left?
You just gave me an idea.
you dont need to trust pugs for right
you need to trust them in boss
right side is not the issue
yea, depending key level
if you dont trust pugs going right, youre gonna have a fucking miserable time with all the casters in left side
those fireballs will just kill someone
no counterplay whats so ever
but, its avoiable
depending on comp, we have range kick on boss
and then its tank plus 2-3 melee kicks on caster
Wish I was a protadin in this kind of case.
advice is to spell it out
SP.
in party chat
Yeah. I've started to go with the mentality of:
Spell out EVERY SINGLE DETAIL.
I write it in my route
Like, as if I'm with the kids I'm teaching.
so I title my HoA route "Dont Interrupt 3rd Boss! I reflect for big damage stonks!"
The fucking damages on that reflect.
if people dont know how to fucking rotate kicks on a single mob at 17s, they dont deserve to be there PERIOD
its massive
I'm not here, yet... I hope I'll reach it.
But for that I need to find a guild, or team.
Cause pugging is all good and fun but uh.
or 16s, or 15s
I'm getting too old for that.
15s it doesnt one shot yet
you can get most of the fireballs and be fine
16 itll be close
but gear is also going up
Yeah.
they shouldnt even be going off
they shouldnt, but they will at 15/16
it aint science, youre not kicking 3 different mobs
For some, sadlyu, it is.
There's sadly some... 'cases' everywhere.
17/18 is now where the 'just getting title cutoff' people are at right now
or working on some ez 19s
I think for title we will need like a 20 FG and Priory
and 21 across the board
with maybe 2-3 22
especially once we add 6 I levels
Oh you right
and Turbo BiS loot
And if they give us another item like the belt.
Q: What is the M+ best combination for these trinkets? Can someone help me analyze these? Thanks
("Brand of Ceaseless Ire" Champion 8/8, Is it stronger than other IL710 trinkets?)
God I feel like a casual once again :wheeze
Yea title cutoff "right now" is basically all 17s
brand+Pace
can also play Pace+Idol or Idol+Brand
So add like 4 key levels for turbo and full ilvl
well, top groups already are doing 20s
ty 👍🏼
I dont think theres a S4
just sim
Think we'll have a S3 that will be THAT long?
there is no s4
Midnight Alpha starts on Oct 1
Shit you right.
Legion Remix launches a week after
Alpha's soon.
this patch is super long
yea, Ill be playing a decent amount of remix
Same.
just for mogs and mounts
and once Turbo comes out I gotta get a nice Mythic Soul Hunters carry
so I can buy mythic brand+boots
Yeah I guess I could do that too..
you can prob buy it yourself
by the time of turbo, itll prob be a couple of mill
Yeah I might get back into boosting or smth at this rate.
the price of mythic SH is like 12 mill right now? I think
I imagine by mid October itll drop
For the record I want my cut in stoat photos

I made a mil or two
but Ill get you a stoat

A millions stoat pictures! 
Tell the dps/healers to stop trolling 
Trading mythic raid carry for resil keystones
Easy title carry for free Hollyy
Very lucrative right now
I made 70000 gold for four mythic zeros yesterday lol
250000 gold for a heroic raid sale
...........
45 minutes lol
Yep
do i pick antenna or myth track weap?
wep
Roid pm me how I make da cash money
I know its not the biggest, but which would be better? Ire trinket or the ring? (Same ilvl upgr)
Are you already using ire?
ok im gonna bust out my post again
ye, but only at rf
Anyone with knowledge related to prot warrior trinket value knows if netherprism mythic is worth on prot?
In high M+ scenario would that replace antenna or brand in terms of dmg value?
I dont have raidbots script to sim it max stacks, so it's hard for me to calculate value out of it
It might have some worth if you plan pulls around having big stacks
its really not worth for prot
let your dps friends have it
i know rogues salivate for it
but I feel like running Brand+Atenna/Pace is either equal or better in most cases
and requires much less brain power
I can see some usage on halls around big pulls
why not run idol in that case
But I just wanted to know dps value out of it
Well I get it, you do have a point around it
There is any script to sim 18 stacks?
Prism is nice because you'll always have stacks to throw with incarn so like
incarn is a pain to sync with things cuz of the cdr
maybe I should play some bear... but I already have way too many toons at this point
I gotta stop getting 4 keys done on everything and just do the one key magic
IDK
Weird place to say this ik, but sell protection warrior to me. As in explain why it could be better, or more fun, than blood dk in late game lol. I'm debating on which to main.
Blizz doesnt care about Blood DK
done
as someone who mained BDK (and still keeps his DK current cause its my namesake toon)... its been very neglected
whereas Prot War has been getting positive changes, does more damage, is tankier, has better dungeon util
and overall just plays better right now and has all of War Within
I personally hope they address BDK in Midnight
but Ive been huffing Copium for years at this point
I would run araz over prism if we’re talking not using brand, bc the only time I’d ever replace brand is if we needed very pointed burst dps
yeah i agree
And araz is going to do that better than prism if that were a wierd situation you were in
but honestly i would just use idol over both for pure aoe
for damage amps, araz will rock though
Ritual forge blasts for burst but there’s very few scenarios where it’s needed
how is prot warrior for carrying people (I only do it for gold not rmt)? I find that i like to do that for gold with dk and was wondering if it's viable on prot.
Actually, no scenarios
but you only got one boss in flood, 1 boss in street and ecodome for damage amps
We’re very strong we can carry a lot of shit
Huge muscles
if you are a looking to carry keys, Prot Paladin is the way
harder to play at higher key levels and is squisher, but its toolkit is insane for a weekly +12
mainly delves and kyveza tbh
oh then play whatever you want
agree 100% this, play both and it’s annoying pushing high keys on war because I can’t carry insane levels of dumb
I would love to carry keys but unfortunately don't have a group yet lol
my points only apply to like Mythic raid, pushing IO, and other top end content
“High level content is annoying because I can’t do it all myself”
Think about the silliness of that statement
but if we chilling with the bois in weekly 12s, delves and shit
just play whatever you like
and looks cool
doesnt matter; just get good at whatever you choose
yeah idk carrying delves and kyveza?
just do it with any class lol
Delve carries vert profitable
I made like 3m gold selling 11s week 2 lol
in any content
I've made over half a mill carrying kyveza alone on dk
high level keys? sure you just need the rest of the people
wanted to up my game
What about as Aug, in a 20
poor augs in the grave
it was a good experiment
you cant have experiments without failures
no
it doesnt really apply to you tbh
we're here to talk about aug evokers
play what you want and get good at it
honestly was just curious sorry to ask in the wrong place
Your ability to carry as a tank is gonna be purely based on your skill
true
You can go level a prot pally but it doesn’t mean you’ll be yoda
No I mean Kira
what has the most potential is what i mean to ask ig?
What you play the best is what has the most potential
Basically anything that isn’t dk
Think both pally and war have problems to overcome regardless at high level, on prot pal in 18s the bricks are either to me accidentally dying or some routing issue and rarely due to missed stops, on prot war its never due to dying and rarely to routing, moreso just missed stops
but prot war’s problems are easier to solve i think with just calling stop rotation in discord
You have like 19 stops as war though
Dunno never seen a pal out kick me
shield can almost entirely lock down two targets, prot war does not have a toolkit that does this
bad prot pal then
Well that’s not true I’ve seen a few very good ones
But usually I end a dungeon over 80-100 ints and I rarely see paladins do that
really?
the most ive gotten is like 60 (and I was farming interrupts on 2nd boss HoA)
I feel like hoa is pretty good for holy tbh
as long as the shards die in a reasonable amount of time
I dont think I see enough spell casts to get to 100
Let’s use a priory pull for example
You shockwave 3 casters, that’s 3 kicks, they sync, they come out of that and you disrupt, that’s 3 more for 6 seconds. They come out of that and you have aoe fear, that’s 3 more, they come out of that and you kick plus storm bolt, that’s 2 more, then follow up with a shockwave for 1-2 more
oh, I dont pull many casters in priory anymore
