oh, you including the other stops
yea, Idk how many I get
I just know how many kicks
Yes if we’re talking just details ints I’m usually 50-70
I also dont play fear anymore
I go for the heroic leap CD and move speed
been such a Quality of Life
But my point is paladin isn’t necessarily “better” than warrior
People just look at details and think “big bar more gooder”
idk, I think Paladin is better, but Prot War has a great tool kit for stops
as well
just cause one is 'stronger' doesnt mean the other one isnt strong
but its more subjective
Zug zug
I play fear
If we’re talking group synergy pala def wins bc they have far less Dr overlap
mind sharing your talents roid?
I play fear as well, it’s insanely good
I use the wowhead weekly builds and just swap the leap talents for fear
thanks!
And in the push build I swap bsv for massacre though I would not recommend that for everyone
And honestly I will prob flip back to bsv at 17s
I like going fast especially in AK
Because some of those pulls are sketchy as fuck
Can be yeah
I just play the push build everywhere
but I keep the CDR on leap
I like jumping
Don’t we have like three target stormbolt again since we’re thane
Whatever that talent is
Uh I don’t run it bc of the increased cd
And I also don’t like syncing shit unless I’m gonna follow up with a disrupt, I can control what I hit with shockwave, stormbolt is indiscriminate
But I think that’s prob personal preference
I also send storm bolt a lot on stragglers or mobs that are about to cast to extend so I can get my kick back up
Like in AK if revolting volley has 9 seconds left and my kick has 11 I’ll stun it so I know I can kick it
yea, the triple stormbolt talent is a bit troll
at least for dungeons
prob nice in 3v3 though?
I like it
random stuns are bad
It’s ok I’m bad too
we're all bad
^ that’s my primary issue, I don’t want to dr something unless I have a specific purpose like what I outlined above bc then I will dr stun and we may miss a stop
Like shaman and their stupid ass cap totems

Every shaman ever as soon as you get to a pack drops cap totem and I’m like nooooooooooooooooo
^^^^
Most of the time everyone else’s stuns are already sent while I’m gathering so
Stormbolt sees little use anyways
yea, just DRing and sending stops for no good reason
then you actually need to stun something and, what do you know, it doesnt work cause they are DRed
greeeeeat
Full cast shields in priory
Fuck DR;
its why I love the knock up from Col
knock ups are so fucking good for that reason alone
its a pretty antiquated mechanic
I generally prefer Col
And yet it remains.
Thunder Blast goes brrrrrr.
They could still use it but just have the maximum amount of DR on stuns be like a little split second mini stun
So at least it does something
As opposed to just a full resist
yea, if they set a min value on the DR rather then give immunity
Id be onboard
or just have DR affect player characters
not NPCs
In other news I think my raid squad accidentally imploded because of life. :(
Maybe no aotc this tier

time to find a new guild
its a long tier, youll get AoTC
I believe

The last time I tried to join a guild it was one my friend is in and they declined me because I wanted to dps and all my raid logs are as tank
And they don’t even raid mythic
:(
can also pug heroic at this point
as a DPS
or find a lower end mythic raiding guild
they always need people
just need to go to the recruitment discord
and find one that fits
unfortuantly, it doesnt look like the guid recruitment discord has a section for just AoTC
it does
but a guild progging 1-2 mythic bosses would prob be around the skill level you are looking for
I may just be blind
Hello
greetings
Uhm, am I crazy or does shield charge sometimes bug out when I'm mounted? It goes on cd and does nothing
while would you use it while mounted
Why would I not use it while I'm mounted?
Well, in high keys I'd rather have shield block as soon as I enter a pack so they don't yoink me to death or 10% hp
Been using shield charge as an opener for that reason
or you can just charge + avatar and sb
u can charge SS and SB firs global
Not really, depends on the situation, some packs are scattered
and then SC after since avatar will be up for more dam
Arak first pull, PSF first pull, etc
Hmm, I'm not touching avatar until I'm planted with all packs within range for max damage
your double charging those pulls which enough for SB on its own
let alone TCing the pack as u go past them
Aye, this seems like a better idea, cheers
The SC bug while mounted still sucks tho.
If you do this on every pull you're literally throwing away avatar casts
avatar is such a short cd lol
Not gonna lie was in a Dawnbreaker last week and charged off my mount on the little ships you have to fly to to kill adds and fell through it... would have been bad but landed on a invisible edge and lived
I think that when we use Avatar, we should go bald, and be able to bend the elements of air, earth, fire, and water!
or we should become blue cat people
one or the other
awww, but also, lol, that made me lol 😄
i know stats arent everything but i was wondering what would be better for defensive value? im currntly creeking into 20% DR on haste so im not 100% sure on the belt craft yet
what is your rating
1.8k, why you ask?
current is got to 3k on this guy, ususlly i finish around 3400 to 3500 previous seasons. just trying to see how far i can take the war this time around
haste rating
haste is currently 24k roughly 20% dr
awesome. thank you
Perhaps a frequently asked question but I am torn on what to craft for my first item. I have a couple of hero track items but none at myth lvl. I can craft my first 720 piece. What gives the preference?
- **shield **(unless if you have myth track)
- **weapon **(unless if you have myth track)
- **bracers **(with dawn/dusk)
- **belt **(with dawn/dusk)
hey, can someone tell me is there any break point in stats when i stop getting haste/crit, i mean there are some higher prot warriors in m+ that take haste + vers?
okay so i even go over the -10% penalty?
thx
Any tips to getting to 3400? At that middle point that pug vs. premade makes all the difference
Play the game, its not much more than that
The higher you get, the more attempts you need at it
3400 is all 16s and all dungeons are doable in pugs at 16 currently
best thing you can do is have good routing that limits points of error for your team
just do the keys
do your homework on routes
and dont ego pull
how's everyone surviving dailcry when going left? keep getting punked on 16
we dont go left
think the oddball that went left in 19 on raiderio took ret paladin and a resto druid that key
for sac / ironbark
how are you guys coordinating kicks in a pug setting with 1st boss going right?
put a ranged kick on boss
rest rotate Duelmal
if they can kick left side trash, they can kick a single mob
do not put SPs on boss
silence is longer cd than other ranged kicks
SPs?
but a regular range kick can handle the boss solo (mage/lock/hunter/evoker)
shadow priests
if i go left i ask for lust on boss else i run out of cds which sucks cause i rather lust the next pack after which is what i do when i go right side
i agree forsure right is easier
the mini boss on the left side is also cancerous
this season, hell no
reflective shield is 😮
yup
dh dieing to reflective shield due to funnel is pfunny xD
this is why we go right
wtf how do I do good damage in raid
parsed a fucking 45
5:20 loomithar kill in heroic tho lmao
everyone sucks
tbh I don't know the mechanics
I'm just yoloing it so idk what's actually happening
can't dps properly :^(
are you shaman?
really slow kill right?
you didnt know mechanics and are expecting to purple parse?
yes
😬
Too many revenge. Plenty of other stuff to improve. Post in log reviews and we can deep dive
sure
check out my unechanted, non-gemmed, undergeared, resto shaman damage parses
Also, don't d stance Heroic bosses you goober. They do no damage. Just full send in b stance
I haven't bothered trying to do good damage on bosses since s1 df
SD is free though so
I hate raiding
im kind of blasting
it can go either way
I usually send the SD proc right away. Idk which is correct but its been doing me right so far
just play SD like arms, and send to not overcap or w/e
Ye
That's my thoughts as well
1 stack? can send SS over it
keep in mind though
execute does hit harder than natty SS
Thanks for the advice re: right side, boys
they are only tied when SS is outbursted
it's almost like healers are bums and don't press damage buttons
🧺
broooo
I know right
this is my first time ever healing
walk into a heroic raid and Im like 'yea bros, im ready to spread Riptide, hit healing wave and pump heals'
but theres literally no damage being taken
I just throw down spirit link once a fight
and hit lightning bolt and lava burst
how high can prot warrior survive left side till on priory
i swear to christ what is with priory left side today
easier for pugs
just wanna know how high i can go till judgment pierce one shots
im coming from prot paladin
feel alot more invincible so asking if i can do left on priory low keys like 14-15
i dont care for the moans
just want this rat to get 3200 so i can start a real push
when i spend crests
im bing chillin 705 till i max out gilded
Just try it and let us know, you can probably do it but kind of a clencher, and might not have anything for next pull
my dps players kept asking to go left, I did it once, they never wanted to go left afterwards
sometimes you gotta let them suffer
(or the healer rather)
Left side is generally slower too
Left side is best side
Bring Fury, DH, BM, BDK and a rando healer
dance all the way to timed key
I go left because most people seem to prefer it. It's not even bad. I'm chillin the whole time even in 14's. Health bar doesn't even move.
nobody dies to fireballs outside of pounces
in anything under 17
so why bother
its not easier for pugs at all
you know whats easy? not having to interrupt a million wizards in trash
17 fireballs indeed one shot your ass
playing priory as a paladin is peak torture
How so
judgment
, heavy shoot packs
, consecration always being reapplied
being made of paper
low prio
just not a fun dungeon
Little help please, have simmed and trinket is higher by a small margin, however i would eventually replace with antenna or buy a pacemaker with dinars whereas the wep i guess i'd never replace vs my current crafted option?
I do clear hard mode + first 2 mythic every week
why wouldnt you take a free dinar now
Tbf if you play paladin you can go right and avoid judgement
Ya idk, i just play right on any tank
it can go either way, you do the first 2 so you also have a myth weapon, and only antenna in vault, so i would say pacemaker -- like i mentioned, why wouldn't you want the extra dinar for something else since you can pick it now?
Pally kicks and util keeps random deaths a little lower in pugs
i just think priory is designed poorly
i dunno paladin requires alot of healing
so its not playable with shamans
limits your comp choices
Priory is my least favorite by far, but i have run that dungeon without dks for more than with
I hate sharpshooters
And pally last season sucked because left side
requiring an external as a tank is just poor design tbh
why are we talking about ppal in a prot warrior channel
priory rabbithole
Idk
take it to hammer of wrath
ultimately wouldnt i want to replace pacemaker with antenna + keep my ire?
sure?
but you dont have an antenna
and you dont kill loomi
so youre relying on chance
take the pacemaker
well i dont see myself not killing loomi at some point
dont we have dinars soon
you are more likely to get a myth 1h on a plexus kill than a myth pacemaker
turbo boost is coming soon
dinars dont come out with the patch
sucks
they are "later on"
once turb o comes out though
bosses become jokes
finding a pug for first 3-4 will be normal like aotc is right now
sure, except when one has one shot mechs
every boss has one shot mechanics but pugs learn at a normalized pace
tbh ive seen loomi pugs up
and finished
Idk, the pugs ive tried doing 2/8 on alts with cant beat plexus most the time. Wont be any different with gear
doesnt mean gear magically lets you ignore beams or web breaks
web breaks probably ngl tghey dontg even one shot you rn
Ya, the only ppl pugging 4/8 after dinar are the people that can already do it
Guys i know maybe this has been asked before, but whats the optimal sec stats? Cuz i dont wanna go beyond the cap for each one of them. Thank you so luch.
meh im in dimensius hell rn and wont see any other bosses for 2 weeks wish me luck
i go do alt stuff
the hard stop for haste is 27k, the rest you sim
there's no specific numbers
just sim
and yes sim work for defensiveness
higher sims = more secondaries = more defensiveness
Cuz i wanna make my first crafted item which is the wrist, and dunno if i got crit/haste or haste/vers and of course the threadt would be the versa
crit haste
and no the thread wouldnt be versa
it would be whatever sims best between the 2
just sim it
both things
haste + stat
and both dusk/dawn
and go with that
its that simple
Would do thats much appreciated. ( still not familiar with advanced simming thats why I asked)
ty

new pfp 

Dw HS will probably return soon, but axe weilding cat 
wtf
New jakey pfp before gta6, wild
ES6 when!?
Never
Cause they need to change so much for it, cause starfield was terrible. They have to design their systems from thw ground up again
They could use a “modern” Skyrim engine and flop it onto a new world and call it a day
People would go nuts
Nah i mean like they way they do quests the way characters talk to you etc etc, also choice doesnt seem to actually matter too, lioe alot of that needs to change imo.
Bethesda has been coasting on elder scrolls since 3
Every game they make is literally elder scrolls
Just progressively shittier since Skyrim
Like every game the make is just the same game reskinned
Starfield would have been taken as an ok game but they hyped it up so much and then didn’t deliver, they got high on their own supply
hey Mates,
Big question, are veteran BIS boots (from raid with the 20% more uptime on reshii) better than BIS stats boots hero track ?
Or are the boots from the raid mandatory ?
no the reshii effect is minor for tanks
useful in keys doe
Seems usefull but pretty useless as 20%.. :/
Thanks for your answers
What the heckin flip
no
use higher ilvl always
the only way those are bis is if can myth track em
otherwise, theyre not
Oh ok didn't know that, thanks a lot
Fellowship is wow with the bs or a scam?
what
oh i asked this before but i didn't get a response so i will ask again
in delves with brann as dps, should I just spam ignore pain?
how do I keep myself up, besides the obvious like, shield block and demoralizing shout and such?
no
same way you do in any content
you mitigate
our gameplay does not change between content types
you keep SB up
you face mobs
you press IP at 70+ rage
failing any of the first 2 will result in getting slapped hard
failing the third means your rage play isnt going well, and you wont get as many Avatar/Wall resets or outburst
ok, i can do that! thanks Nimchip 😄
Fellowship is basically m+ the game
From my experience it seems to be well done
Granted they basically just stole everything good about m+ from wow but you won’t find me complaining
How much are they charging to not have to deal with bs?
There a pay to win thing?
I dunno how much it will be but I don’t think it’s p2w
It had no shop or gacha vibe to it
its a one time buy, no sub
Not being penalized bc i can't raid seems good. At the very least it may force blizz to respect m+ ppl
If ppl want to buy appearances I'm fine with that just not thay you buy winning
In fellowship if you stun a casting mob will it continue to spam cast?
I’m a big fan of buy game + appearances shop
Totally fine with that
Subscription model blows
Pay to win blows
Could someone explain how this rage generation source works? Sometimes it generates a lot of rage, while other times, it doesn't generate all that much
https://www.wowhead.com/spell=195707/rage
Gained Rage due to taking a melee attack. In the Uncategorized Spells category. Requires Warrior. Added in World of Warcraft: Legion. Always up to date.
You get 3 rage every time you take a melee attack but capped at once per second
So it's just gonna be time in combat and length of key that make a difference
My biggest issue with Fellowship was the server instability, which they will almost definitely be able to fix. The classes are fun and seem fairly balanced, rotations are involved but not insanely challenging, dungeons have fun fights in them. I wish you could queue for specific dungeons without a full group, but that seems to have just been for this playtest, because you used to be able to
From what I could see, all the cosmetics were earnable via in-game challenges. Obviously, thats subject to change (and I'd be shocked if they didnt add purchaseable cosmetics in the future) but for now, there are none
@frosty mango how far r u in m+ pushing now? U got resil 17? Do u make your own routes or where do u get them? Keystoneguru sucks and threechest has limited and weird routes
Also, is there any benefit to going right in floodgates first pull?
people go right on floodgate?
lol
but why
i thought that was a week 1/2 thing last season and then never again
To pick up that pack at top of stairs and bring into the normal first pull
But the snipers usually end up pulling cuz of slow people and they pat around. Just wondering if it's like safer on tank or better for route to do that since they're easier for %
it just means you tag em and wait until they're cleared of the snipers
Yeah not all the way right, but just right path to that platform with the shredinator dude
the more you pull into the lust pull the bettter time wise
but honestly
you can just pull em in pull 2
if its too uncomfy to do
those fuckers dont hurt at all
Yeah true. My gear is getting so good on my prot warrior. Time to push up this week!
and there's more than enough mobs to funnel pull 1
at 17s/18s you def want to do them on first pull
just to cut time here and there
flood is a pretty tight timer
Nims mom has a tight ||timer||



I only did 5m DPS on priory 15. Do I suck? Or i need more DPS talents?
Doing 16/17, were on hold till turbo boost
I mostly use the common routes you would consider pug routes, I do modify them slightly depending on comp sometimes but I don’t do anything crazy
The higher the key level the better right gets bc healing the boss aoe is booty at high levels
I do prefer left as a tank but as a healer I prefer and understand why right is just….easier
I am notoriously anti-degen/risky route lol
Nah you're confusing priory and flood. I meant going right to pick up the top of stairs adds into shreddinator
For first pull
Oh
I just drag the shredder with us left lol
But going right and waiting for pack and pulling the shredder is common and imo fine
Ok I'll try it out some more!
You don't have to wait at all if you're quick
Is there a point where you have too much haste?
Above 27k its not realy optimal to chase haste anymore and its better to go other stats
hey is it worth doing normal soul hunters for boots and trinket? Running Myth soleahs and Hero Pacemaker
of course
wasnt sure how sims work with taking dmg
you just need a 5 min sim
How do you snap crocs in floodgate before duo?
Have party stack at top of stairs, you've already heroic throwed 1 croc and you heroic leap to the top of the stairs and charge into the boss
I have a question.
Does someone have a Macro where u can use thunderclap/thunderblast and demo shout on one button?
no
that doesnt work
those are 2 gcds
you cant do 2 gcds in the same macro
it'll never work
at best you can cast sequence and you dont want to do that
Which means
shout with slam or ignore pain works?
slam?
we dont use slam
we use shield slam
you shouldnt have slam in your bars
also dont macro ogcds to gcds if you dont know what youre doing, youre gonna rage starve yourself and thats bad
I think u can still do the IP one with shield slam right? But that's the only one
IP with SS can be macro'd, but not with the purpose of reducing keybinds
it'd be an additional keybind
you don't want to have SS always dump rage, because sometimes you'll be at 10-20 rage and don't want to spend it on IP
shout "can" be macro'd with IP, but most of the times you press IP you are already on the GCD, so it won't go off
or it'll get queued and feel wonky
No, it's IP macro with SS added to it, not other way around
There's never any harm in pressing IP to rage dump and using a SS proc with it
well, technically it can have a negative impact from time to time since you can trigger an outburst with the IP and immediately consume the outburst with SS
Oh so should I not use the macro anymore? It's carryover from Colossus from last season. Outburst only with thunderclap/blast right?
that guy isnt really asking about that
the context seems to be that he wants to reduce keybinds
Oh I see
im just reading between the lines
he wanted to make a macro with 2gcds, that should be clue to it
or asking about it i mean
There's already not that many keybinds required imo.
Also bad when go into avatar, as you want to spend one TB charge before SSing
Yeah but my first global into avatar is always TB anyway
I'd never avatar into IP/SS macro
Sometimes you avatar while burning rage with IP tho
If CD comes up mid combat
As avatar itself grants a bit of rage
So is it better to not have this macro anymore? Like I said, it's just from when I played Colossus last season. And should I closely track outburst to always use on TB?
It's less optimal, but if it helps your gameplay and concentrate on other stuff sure
I track stacks so i kinda know when it's coming
I guess using outburst on SS on a prio target can't be that bad either. Just slightly less overall DPS over course of a key
I'm so excited to keep pushing keys now that my warrior is geared. I feel close to invincible in most cases
I was just saying that it can potentially have a negative, not that you shouldn't use it. It's not the end of the world to send outburst on an SS
Yeah that makes sense
the only way it sends SS is if you weave late
anyway
meaning at the last half of the gcd timer
if youre quick on your IPs it rarely goes off on resets
cause youre overwriting your queue with a different gcd
its stupidly min maxy though so i dont really care
Agreed
Dont you run a really low spell queue window, too?
I mean the rat
Always seemed like a pvp thing to me
i run 150
i was running 120 but
fury forced me to up it
plus i did consider what Nome said that you should never go below it
I don't change my spell queue window. A lot of the guide writers in other specs told me not to
I remember the first time I saw someone talking about it was Xaryu back in like...MoP or something where you would actually lose the fraction of a GCD needed to chain stuns on rogue
prot warrior has high apm, so having 100+ping number is acually very beneficial
Hence why PvPers care about it a lot
i'd imagine it benefits ppal as well
What are the highest apm tanks? Guessing ppal and pwar
yes
yep
Cuz sotr and IP off gcd
by far and wide
The moment i hate spell queue is when an auto resets SS as you were queueing a revenge
What defines the interval between IPs?
IP's icd
0.5s?
For dropping tank puddles in mythic plexus, do u ever drop it behind the wall? Or u just drop in back of room? I think I need to start pugging first 2 mythic for extra gear
Yeah tank bomb
So max theoretical APM would be 60 (1s GCD) + 60 IP/s + 5 SBs = 125 APM if you had infinite rage
Plus the occasional oGCD defensive you might need
are you at 27k?
Yeah
hmm.. then yeah you should be close
Char sheet was saying 0.98s GCD when flask went into haste
Ik ik
0.75 is the cap
Aah
oh really?
That explains why it feels like lust makes me go faster
Yes, half of the base of 1.5
oh yeah you right
Energy specs are static at 1 second though, with the exception of outlaw rogue during AR
Yeah, I imagine most would hit the point where you'd want something other than haste before you would drop your GCD naturally to sub 1 sec
yea makes sense
Is that a goal, 27k? I think I'm at 26k haste
I feel like anywhere between 24-27k is fine
its just the stopping point
it can be within the range nephtus said
if you can manage sb gaps well with 24k that's good enough
yeah honestly I barely think about SB at 24k beyond just not wasting it at the end of packs
prot warriors should call their rotation a protation
would you guys catalyze this crit/haste chest or keep it as the off tier?
congrats dude! you did 8 dungeons
Wow you did not do anything from yesterday morning @fallow fern ? I would keep it tbh you never get the dream stats
Dont do that. Its really gonna affect your health in general. It is just a game. But again as Nimchip said take chest for all the value you get from and you can farm any accessories later.
oh im already sold on that.. just wondering if i catalyst it or not
Keep it for now as is if you already have the other 4set imo.
if i keep it i would have to catalyst my pants.. which have the same stats as tier haste/mast
Same here. Got a myth helm in vault I could catalyst over my hero-with-speed one and plexus weapon. Wespon again did not drop yesterday (did only on our first kill where another tank got it) and I‘m not there next wednesday when we kill it for thexsixth time. Now I‘ m stuck in between „any myth helm can come every werk in the three m+ slots vs its a first boss item where I‘m the only person in the raid has need on“
I think Dawn and Streets ones are better weapons compared to first in the raid, no? Unless youre unlucky either the vault for the mythic track.
guys should i craft neck or ring or upgrade my belt and wrist ? both myth
which one is would be better
anyone have a WA to track upcoming dungeon tank busters?
I just use a WA timeline
Arent we supposed to take shield spec talent? I’m looking at Murlok an arcon builds and none of the top players use this talent ?
im just starting my push in 14's now. have a flood log that was pretty decent if anyone has some time to check for some common mistakes i'm making:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/zjBcHnhAtMDxR6m1?fight=1&type=damage-done&source=3
would really like to start pushing into 16's next week so want to correct any foundational mistakes
Goes to show you that doing top keys doesn't make you always right
Should I drop battle scarred veteran for it? That also feels really good for noobs like me
Or bloodborne I guess
Bloodbounre
In low key usually you only get to trigger Scarred Veteran because you are taking too much damage, that are limited by Shield Spec 🙂
Or just run the push build from wowhead if you are worried about dying
Yeah I want a safe build to learn the spec and dungeons
Can always try a dmg spec after
Looks like you are already doing pretty good ! I'm just wondering if you spam SS enougth. 307 SS agaisnt 500 TB/TC cumulated.
I'll take a look; might as well since I'm up at 4am for some reason 😭
wooo ty. yeah im thinking i hit too many revenges tbh
why is your shield slam casts so low
Yes, you are. XD Noticed that immediately.
does so little damage wtf
Your under pressing SS
Your over pressing revenge
Your underpressing thunder blast and tc
Your wasting a tone of rage
No literally no world should your ss damage cast and damage be, below revenge
yeah true. maybe i just train myself by taking revenge off my bar for a key lol.
You need to dump rage into IP and not Revenge ^^
switch the key binds put IP on Revenge 😄
i only press revenge if shield block is up and ip is 100% and im nearing 100 rage
Thats a dps loss as thane
The only time u press revenge is to fish for ss procs as thane
That is it
Otherwise everything else does more damage and has a higher prio
If u are near 100rage u still ip
Because it lets u gain more rage for rage cycling
First pic: rage waste
2nd pic: low blocked hit %
3rd pic: Getting hit in the back
4th pic: Looks like you aren't really monitoring your outburst and are just sending it on what's up
Oh it didn't paste the 4th pic, smh
Eh high 80s is fine this season
I didnt looks a VB but theres enough for him to work on anyways
You're not running shield spec, but you're not running execute build? Makes no sense
Most ppl using it wrong anyway nowadays
i have no clue. i just copied this build
Hed take about 140k less dps a second with shield spec
Did not know you could filter for that like this, good to know ty
<@&257983573498265600>
is 1644 a lot of waste? what's a decent %?
thoughts on this tiers cheat death trinket
Ill just mention it here agane cause we had this discussion the other day with nomer, u basically only send VB on Tb if its been buffed,
Close to 0
Which is very achieveable
In my worst key, my total rage waste was your top line
Yep, and will be more achieveable if you are not spamming revenge
Since you will be dumping mostly off-gcd, especially not playing exe build
So only revenge when IP is 100% and TC and SS are on CD is that correct?
IP doesn't matter. You press Revenge when you have no other offensive abilities to press and you are not at risk of overcapping rage
Yeah I mean, you're still going to press Revenge. It's just not going to be one of your top casts. In my 14 flood, I cast it 6.7 times per minute (running exe build, so without exe it would've been a little higher)
Yeah ok and in big pulls you’ll generate way more rage so you’ll press revenge less
Thats depends if u got bloodsurge or not
And how mnay targets
U only get 3 rage a second from being hit, ts not like the more mobs hitting you the more rage u get, its locked
Some Bosses do melee slower than that so u will get slightly less on ST but not much
Yeah, it's usually more whether you're in cooldowns or not. And without exe build, your Revenges don't really take the place of Execute 1:1 because you don't prioritize revenge over generators
like you do with exe
do we get fucked if we channel cursed stone idol in m+? like will I just get melted
Depends on what you're fighting I suppose, but it does put you at a bit of a risk while channeling it
Since you can't block for the 1 second you're channeling
(or dodge or parry)
guys when reflecting do we get instant %25 reduced mdmg or if we succesfully reflect we get ?
You get the damage reduction for the full 5 seconds. Doesn't matter if you reflect or not.
thank you
npnp
It is possible to play fury as a dps spec when we main prot war ? Even if fury is full mastery and war prot don’t really like it ? Or we are destined to play arm because arm like haste and crit like prot ? 
Depends how often you play the DPS spec and how important it is for you to be optimal when playing it.
If you need to be optimal, you can always stat for the DPS spec and you will still be a perfectly viable prot warrior
Especially since both DPS still like haste
Yeah you are right
ok I'm going back to bed
still got a couple hours before I need to be up for work 😭
Hey,
I've seen a lot of prot warriors being split between Bloodborne+rage generation vs. Sudden Death execute builds in M+ enviro.
Whats the deal here? they perform similar and its just down to players pref ?
The execute build do more dmg and the rage génération make you more tanky, you çan play both until you reach really high key when you can’t really do the execute build anymore
Yeah, so you basicaly confirmed to me what i was thinking to myself is happening here.
Thanks bud
Np
thx for checking my log as well! gnite. im off to bed as well and 3.5 hrs before i have to be up too lol
how big is the dps difference roughly?
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but do you guys have any advice for me?
I don't raid myth (just tag along for HC clear), so myth track pieces are hard to come by and therefore don't really want to take the trinket. (cause I will miss out on a myth track slot)
The guild will do 1 or 2 more HC clears and then only focus on Myth. No one in the guild needs brand anymore, so if it drops next week or the week after I can have it.
My main focus is M+ 16-17 range now.
Would you guys get the trinket and just lose out on a myth piece/ilvl? But know I will get it for sure before Turbo boost (where I will buy it anyways)
Or get the belt or neck (which isnt that good I dont think) and risk not having the trinket, but having the ilvl. (And probably replace the belt during Turbo boost when I buy cantrip boots n use belt for emblish)
There is the BIS belt there. I would take it. I got mine last week with a gem slot got lucky. I mean its your BIS and best stats. I would go with the belt imo. Trinket would be easy later on according to your statement that is, but mythic bis belt is hard to get.
You gotta consider
Brand is busted af
I say clear heroic
And see if u get it
Totally agree, farming brand some weeks, i finally got it yesterday and man it is always at top 3 most damage in my overall. I always try to hunt rare/hard to get items before anything else.
is this talent viable?
Not worth
Hello! 1st pull floodgate, why do I not see more streamer use shield charge on first pack. All I see is charge-clap-move on. Why not SC for the insta SB?
Why would you need it?
You can have SB up after one GCD if need be but as you said, you don't stay in the pack, you move on and gather the rest
Ignore streamers and do your thang chief
Charge + slam is enough as you edited plus you also get 6 rage from being hit during the span of 1s
But more importantly pulling with shield charge is a net loss of rage
I think that's the more important point
Because you can shield charge in melee range
Rage loss because Shield charge can be used at point blank.
So you can Charge > Shield Charge gain rage and gain shield block, you can IP and SS instantly to gain rage and start building IP.
Yep if you open with shield charge instantly you deny yourself extra 20 rage.
U have charge and avatar on first pull of fg
Why shield charge
You just waste rage u can double charge and avatar is enough for sb
Hi guys i played fury week by week as an alt just for delves and some low keys, actually I’m. 691, what keys should I try to do? 6-7 are doable? I’m not good with warrior atm
Does it matter what kind of main hand we use? mace / sword / watever else ??
could check log to see if any spell is flying through the walls and tagging it
i dont know that. im saying its blizzard game
so something is tagging it
Idk sorry and depend on the dungeon
it won't snap for 0 reason imo. somehow you are managing to engage it but it might not be able to snap before you hit the mini boss room. do you know if it is the gargoyle near 3rd boss or from the courtyard?
if it is near 3rd boss i could see someone sending something flying when the gates open back down as you enter mini boss room
log should tell you what dmg or [non dmg] debuff it took first and at what time stamp. this way you can at least exclude if it is some specific ability that is flying through walls
It's not that far technically speaking, last room is somewhere above 2nd boss. In SL there were some shenanigans with the Ragnaros minipet + paladin thorns on block where you would pull the last boss from there, opening the doors of the last mini-boss room and shrouding past it straight from boss 3 to 4
All that to say that with some z-axis issues it's not that far fetched to pull a gargoyle there imo
I refuse to believe priory right side is better without prot pala and without comms aka coordinated kicks. Am i crazy? People be dying with defs up and blaming route. +17 btw
You can assign kicks without voice chat, but it's rough. Don't have to get to 17 before you just get 1-shot if a fireball goes off, which was always my concern with it
You can control how many kicks you need at any one point even going right yeah?
holy, I really got Brand out of the timeless walking cache xdd
is this game fun
I did a 17 without a cast going off
So idk
Pugs fault ig
what are we doing if we dont find a m+ team and getting ducked by randoms?
trying to time some 14+ but every heal i got was like total dogshit or the dps where to dump to use def cds
Keep trying. Sometimes you get shit players. Be more picky about who you take in the future
Thats why you push
In the very beginning
While good players push
After that its subpar playets
Do I craft belt and wear it over the proc belt or not yet?

If I was to find that every heal I get is bad, I would rethink if I'm playing properly, honestly
I've timed 14s with some fairly sketchy healers. It's rarely one person's fault a key wasn't timed.
Pretty sure left side +17 is straight up suicide
But idk, maybe if the heal is godlike
And with our now-somewhat-higher ilvl allowing dps to live through shield/boss overlap
I dont need heal. Heal and dps are dying like flys in strandard pulls
And if i take a look in details i see that everyone is sitting on ther cds
Hi, leveling a prot warrior,. Icy veins seems to suggest Mountain Thane as starter talents. Is that correct or is Colussus better before tier? (primary 5 mans )
Id just go Thane to get accustomed as you acquire tier
Thats what i was gonna say
allright, thanks!
Any rule of thumbs regarding ignore pain?
Like when to press that vs revenge in a bigger pack?
or do you not press revenge in bigger packs at all?
(talking 15+ keys)
Guys i'm dumb. I've read the wowhead guide and the icy veins guide. In aoe do you always prio shield slam over tclap, if you dont have tblast? What target counts does it change? I've just been alternating clap and slam but after rereading the guide i'm now thinking maybe i should be prioing spam more.
Slam*
TB > SS > TC
And is that true at high target counts?
You press Revenge when TB/SS/TC are all on CD and you need a SS reset
Its true at all target counts
During avatar also
Yes
Cheers. Thanks.
You press it to prevent rage capping, that's it
Some seasons might have a couple spots where it could be worth pumping it a bit but there's nothing this season tbh
Press IP at 70 rage
The end
SS > TC/TB > revenge otherwise (except if you have 2 charges of TB, in that case press TB to not overcap on TB charges)
Unless you have 2 charges of TB, it's SS > TB
TB?
Thunderblast
Gotcha
Of course the rate at which you generate rage changes from time to time, so pressing IP with the right cadence isnt as easy as it sounds
The theory is quite simple tho
Reverse that, right? If you dont have 2 TB charges it's SS > TB to fish the proc. If you have 2 charges of TB then TB is your #1 priority
Oh I read wrong
My b
You right
Grammatical semantics
Depends how you interpret the word unless there
Shröedingers sentence
That’s really interesting usually that doesn’t happen with the word unless
words hard 🙁
If you read the unless as a continuation of the last sentence then it’s reverse, but since it’s meant to be a negative conditional unless like “if you do not have 2 charges, then….”
English is poopy
Stuff like this doesn’t happen in most other languages
Sounded right to me but I'm not a native speaker
English are dumb
Troo
English has its quirks but I love it honestly. Verbs are just 1-3 words, no genus, can make any word into a verb, no declinations or whatever
(It's) Kinda annoying that you have to keep typing out the subject every time, but hey, small price to pay
Don't be that hard, not all !
I cant imagine learning spanish and having to decypher who the fk did what every sentence tbf 
In most other languages it’s abundantly clear what is going on.
English: the girl is in the blue car eating fries.
Spanish: the girl is eating fries in the car blue
The fact the English version is even considered valid structure is crazy
Is the car eating the fries?
Could be !
Spanish: (?) is eating fries in the car blue
Most of the time anyways, unless you are trying to emphasize something
Fun times for people that are starting to learn the language
I literally can't read it the "wrong" way, help
In Spanish it would it be “ella esta comiendo papas en el cache azul”
Because you are native or near native
hablo espanol muy bien 🙂
For new speakers it’s a nightmare lol
I wanna read it wrong!!
Usually you would omit the "ella"
Yeah if it wasn’t the first time it was introduced which makes it even easier
But depends on what you are trying to convey of course
I think it's because of the obvious situation .. a car cannot eat fries .. maybe you have strange cars in your country :x
Yeah
It was meant to be an extreme example lol
any of these worth picking up for the silly funny? I know nethergate has some funky synergy on bear
I wanna get silly in weeklies
Naughty
I know, but a nativ speaker here is a bit stuck on "how can this be wrong or confusing" ^^
But if you are not native and "translating" then ...
holy moly she's inside blue fries that eat cars?
blue car-eating fries
nethergate uncapped aoe, big dam
I wish it was 90s cd tho
I mean if you bring the fries into the car it's kind of consumed them in a way
But then the car eats the girl too ! so it's crime ! call the police !!!!!
I specifically love how German keeps you waiting till the end of a relative sentence before anything makes sense:
Did you know the girl, that yesterday morning in the blue car the fries eating was?
Nah, police eat donuts, whatch some tv duh 😉
Makes for patient folks
I'm not german and my wife is already doing this, I don't know what to take out of this though ..
Gotta be the worst language for those with adhd
btw do we press execute?
Yes
kk
Execute big dam
How much you press it changes based on your talents though
The wowhead guide has a good rotational breakdown for both main spec options
If we are at 70 rage and have SS up, do we press execute > SS, or IP > SS > execute? I always wonder
IP> SS > execute cycles rage faster, but execute > SS is big dam
I'm guilty of delaying my shield slams a bit in favor of execute when I run cleave execute
Numbers too big, zug takes control of my brain
The very least is Exec > Revenge since it procs SS too
Execute is higher priority than everything except tier proc TB at up to and including 6 targets
With execute build i assume
Yes
Execute more like sexecute
My sims for raid knocked me under 20k in favor for more crit and vers.
for m+
You should really lock haste on your sim to like min 25k
The sim is not going to account for your shield block uptime
do we want 25k?
You can start running ITF from >21-22k so that's the bare minimum
But ideally 25-26k
25-26ish because that’s going to allow you the proper uptime on shield block with in the fray talented, technically 22ish but for most people 25-26 is going to be functionally where you find it gets comfy
But after you have that amount of haste just use what the sim says
All secondaries are good for us
WAOW
Just reforge your haste away
7 rating, 7 percent, 7 eleven?
I use HR because I’m not trustworthy
I think I also don’t have enough haste anyways lol but even at like 22k haste I’d probably still run HR
7
When you are doing real content, do you guys macro potion into avatar, or press it manually when your judgement dictates?
You don’t macro anything to anything ever except for trinkets that align with avatar
and that one IP/SS reset macro
There are times when you may need to send your potion to meet a damage check outside of avatar
Like in streets when you’re popping that shield on the oasis boss after all of your idiot dps stand in the green circles and die
Not that that very specific example happened to me or anything
That boss is shit visually
I was macroing my pot to demo shout but then realized I was burning through them doing delves and shit XD so now it's on a separate bind
Everyone getting the SUCK and you get notes + green circles + white circles all at once
"it's only on the tank" I assume that's what they are thinking ^^
The slam is not dangerous and you are guaranteed notes during it. Let it pull you, dps yeet themselves out, ezpz
why don't they just hero leap ... stoubid DPS ^^
Question about mythic soul hunters, on the eye beam overlaps, I'm using SW/SR/DS and still either getting close to dying or dying. Is this just a get good angle or am I doing something wrong?
I've never seen that on a sim
help my damage. I don't understand exactly what I'm doing wrong here, but I'm doing like half the damage I should be.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Qy2GdCkXHvf9Vqpn?fight=9&type=damage-done
Lots of wasted rage
You're also not really playing a damage focused build
Sudden Death with no other execute talents is weird to me
This isn't damage but you've gotta work on this
Dont let the rat see his talents :x
yeah i also think skipping shield spec in high keys is goofy but i'm tired of that argument lol
In case you aren’t getting the notifications, Harrow provided some quick feedback
Probably stick to wowhead talent builds also
bruh if people can get away with 15s like this then why am i not even trying to lol
I'm stressing myself out for no reason smh
I feel that, Pash
I’ve been feeling the tanxiety a lot this season for some reason. Usually related to routing
so, use ip and sb more to spend my rage, pick up heavy handed in talents? or just drop sudden death for shield spec? I've seen a few different builds..
Sb should be perma up, get a WA if you need to
Blocked hits in keys should be 85+ at the bare minimum
95 for chefs kiss
You can use the execute talents from wowhead, but changing massacre for BSV
yeah, keep sb up, make sure you have enough to revenge when everything else is down, otherwise spend on IP to not overcap
all that rage could be fueling more outbursts, more avatar
So I wonder if we get anything in a week for the alpha
You should be using either the weekly build on wowhead or you can drop red right hand for bsv if you want it. Beyond that there's no real reason to swap talents unless you feel you can't afford to spend rage on execute because you need more survival. In that case you can swap to the push build. Some folks do kind of a hybrid where you run sudden death (since free executes don't affect your ability to press IP)
a high five and a compliment
Or just use the push variant, if you want to pursue a more defensive approach
I thought we dropped massacre over rrh?
Shield spec is a dumb point to drop for any purpose and I'll die on that hill. Taking 7% more blockable damage is stupidity, especially when you are doing it in a so-called defensive build
My feelycraft brain says massacre is a bigger damage gain than RRH but I could be wrong. It effectively allows you to execute nearly twice as often due to the higher hp threshold
I gotcha. so I'm wasting all this rage that should be dumped to reduce my avatar cd which gives me more thunderblasts..? It looks like i'm doing 15-20 less avatar's per key.. jesus. that's bad. I know my thunder blast cast count is low, but I didn't know why. This makes sense.
avatar is also just a flat damage boost haha
Remember, it doesnt matter if your IP amount is at its max. If your rage reaches 70 you press it
gotcha. I think this will help a ton. ty guys
Go out there and zug brother
I guess you could always sim the difference between RRH and Mass but idk how close sims mimic real scenarios in that case (e.g. sniping executes and such).
I don't think it sims different mobs with different HP that die at a different speed, at least on its default settings
Yeah i wouldn't think so
The fuck is this pull recommended on raider.io, i'm not doing that
tis a deathwish
Still summon ancient blood that do a lot of damage, and the aoes casted are nasty
3 overseers can be kicked by a tank and 2 melees
You should also take raider.io routes with a grain of salt. It very frequently confuses mobs and that could just be two pulls that were chained together without leaving combat.
Fair
i think that it's 2 pulls yaeh
Does it help if I tell you that route makes no difference before like 15/16
Just w key to victory and if people complain, remember you’re a tank and you can get invited to a new key in 10 seconds
i always find going middle easier in that last room of AK tho
That’s the raiderio expert route
