super yikes

#

why tf is warrior still not button debloated, I thought midnight would remove stuff now Im sitting at 3 bars full of stuff (I know its depends on situations what to press but wtf)

lusty grotto
#

they removed LS as a button and troar

#

so that kinda counts

ashen shale
#

still fully bloated

lusty grotto
#

we never were the tank with most buttons

ashen shale
#

I suppose its monk?

lusty grotto
#

sure

ashen shale
#

I play druid, warrior, dk and pala but never tried monk

coarse bay
#

I dont think monk is really bloated anymore

lusty grotto
#

yeah its kinda tied with the rest rn tbh

coarse bay
#

As simple as all the other tanks now

lusty grotto
#

vdh does have the least buttons now though

ashen shale
#

it feels stupid compared to paladin, dh, druid and dk tank..cant say anything about monk

lusty grotto
#

i suppose so, but we're used to it

ashen shale
#

midnight removed 2 buttons but gave us enough talent points to make up for the 2 that are gone

lusty grotto
#

warrior? nah

#

unless you count wrecking blow i guess, but that was already bound on my end since forever

ashen shale
#

I count wrecking throw thats maybe on me then

lusty grotto
#

1 to 5, r, f, c, x, z, q, e, g, r, v
shift +
ctrl +
fits anything any class has

daring marlin
#

100%

ashen shale
#

ye thats correct but I think I made a mistake by playing dk and paladin for a while thats why Im feelin butthurt about warrior...

coarse bay
#

Idk like what buttons do you want pruned out

#

Any bloat would be movement and utility but thatd suck to lose

#

I guess delete execute xeos

ashen shale
#

lets remove ignore pain and make it kind of a passive and delete execute from prot

lusty grotto
#

that wouldnt work

#

it would fuck Anger Management and Outburst

daring marlin
coarse bay
#

I think pally HoW pruning is weird af, and dk still feels clunky even with removing those awful buttons

daring marlin
#

no bop, cleanse, freedom, sac, etc

lusty grotto
#

the only way removing IP wouldnt fuck AM or VO, is if they made a different existing rage spender off-gcd

#

i dont think its a good move

ashen shale
lusty grotto
#

but hey an offgcd revenge would go hard

daring marlin
#

truly

coarse bay
#

I dont think there’s much diff between all the tanks

undone beacon
#

Also don’t run spear that removes a button peepo

#

Take rend, slam, whirlwind, hamstring off your bars

ashen shale
lusty grotto
#

not really

#

the other 3 are better

#

you only run spear for the movement speed while leveling

undone beacon
#

It’s really not great yeah

daring marlin
#

you don't even need ravager on your bar anymore as it appears you take whirling blade now

#

I'm so confused

#

someone help

ashen shale
#

we are talking about champion spear right?

lusty grotto

@ashen shale so this is my quick attempt at just class abilities i have bound, pally has 1 more because my sac is clickcast

I feel like this expansion has been cheating so far

Because so far the entire time I’ve just been revisiting areas that I remember fondly so the nostalgia is peaking

If they never make a new zone again and just revamp old zones like this I’d be happy

some of the dungeons seem like theyll be painful in m+

i over pulled it, fine, and then they pulled it to the respawn

Is blood mallet still a thing?

#

Just don’t see anything on it

coarse bay
#

i think a lot of specs are still working on apl and sims

mighty valley
#

bloodmallet charts only have so much utility anyway

bleak breach
#

Was just curious as I couldn’t see anything at all about it

glad magnet
# bleak breach Was just curious as I couldn’t see anything at all about it

blood mallet basically just takes the profiles on simulationcraft and runs them through their own sims for trinkets and shit, i believe, so without all the classes having profiles uploaded and updated on simcraft it wont really be there or do anything, then again, mostly useless cause just sim whats in your bags or a top gear to compare loot on your own character

What abilities were removed with midnight?

thunderous yelp

yo ik this has nothing to do with prot war but i was seeing if anyone knows how to get rid of this highlighter color chat cause its driving me insane

If I wanted a 2H for fury and a 1H/Shield for prot I'd need 2 blacksmiths?

undone beacon
#

If you want to do it all asap then yes

glad magnet
solid sun
#

I was gonna say that but that’s a total of 4 crests and depending on how fast you acquire a crest it might flow with how you’ve put prof points in?

#

But someone smarter than me should fact check that because I don’t trust myself

ivory barn
#

I haven't put any in

glad magnet
#

Or sparks or something

solid sun
#

Sorry sparks

#

Not crests

glad magnet
#

Multi class weapon crafting kinda rough early

undone beacon
#

You can eventually level all the trees but you won’t be able to craft prot AND fury weapons together for a while because of spark limits for the crafts themselves

torn gulch
undone beacon
#

Shield/1hander is 2 sparks each and each 2hander is 4 sparks under the new system

torn gulch
#

so 8 sparks as we don't have half spark anymore

solid sun
#

Woah woah woah

#

Double the amount of sparks?

torn gulch
#

still 8 weeks

solid sun
#

Oh

torn gulch
#

no we don't have half spark anymore

undone beacon
torn gulch
#

you get a spark a week

solid sun
#

Gotcha

torn gulch
#

but it cost double

undone beacon
#

So instead of half a spark a week you get a spark a week yeah

solid sun
#

I was concerned

torn gulch
#

same timescale related to the old system

solid sun
#

So that’s 8 weeks of farming prof points

#

Including however many you discover through treasures and whatever else

#

Speaking of, handinotes still available?

torn gulch
#

yes i use it

tribal wharf
#

den is a good dungeon

coarse bay
#

youre the only person ive heard say that

#

everyone ik hates it

torn gulch
#

that wind stuff will be interesting in m+ next season

coarse bay
#

is den in s1?

torn gulch
#

by next i means s2

coarse bay
#

i havent looked at the rotation

lusty grotto
#

also it depends if they have rerun the sims

#

after mwahi and me updated the APL

undone beacon
#

Den of Nalorakk? I actually think it’s kinda neat. Gives me Brackenhide vibes and tbh bracken was a great M+

bleak breach
#

Yeah same

lusty grotto
#

which reminds me the AOE one still needs some tweaks

#

also btw Spore is simbait

#

enchant

undone beacon
#

Everyone said bracken was gonna be hell in M+ but it turned out to be a real solid dungeon, so we’ll see

torn gulch
#

first part of den is very similar to brackenhide

#

same structure

undone beacon
#

The last hallway is going to be a key bricker for sure I see it already

#

But I enjoy it thus far

#

Tbh I’ve enjoyed all the dungeon designs so far, other than maybe MT feeling a bit claustrophobic

torn gulch
#

you can compact pulls behind some corners in that hallway

#

space is kinda tight if you pull 2 bears

#

but it's manageable

#

the problem is in the wind part where you have to hide behind some small stones and you get huge aoe from pulls at the same time

#

that will be nasty in big keys if it stays like that

undone beacon
#

Don’t say too much now

#

Gotta let the non EA’ers enjoy the first time experience

#

Guesss I'll make my Own 2H and have someone craft me a shield

glad magnet
solid sun
#

You won't be able to do them at the same time, so you might wait to see what your crafting looks like by the time you get to your prot set

lusty grotto
#

fuck you

#

also im most def not poor i just dont support the practice

#

and i stick to my guns

coarse bay
#

literally nim

ivory barn
#

Nimchip would you craft your own 2h or shield and have sone else craft teh other

lusty grotto
#

if im dpsing in raid i craft 2h

#

and i did during TWW and halfway through DF

#

but sure you can only spec so far early weeks

ivory barn
#

I get that, was trying to figure out what to do

lusty grotto
#

if youre going for shield, go shield

#

because weapon crafters will be more

#

well thats considering prot pallies and FDKs (this is kind of up in arms cause they used 2h in Manaforge) are looking for them

solid sun
#

Well it's going to take you 4 weeks to obtain the necessary sparks to craft your 2h

lusty grotto
#

and/or rogues, dh, etc

solid sun
#

Or is it 2 weeks?

lusty grotto
#

yes, thats always the case Rhino

#

its 2 sparks

solid sun
#

It's double the number of sparks

#

but the same amount of time

lusty grotto
#

right

toxic pewter
#

@tribal wharf i am a lumber man i jsut chopped down a tree.. Iim getting itno the decor bizness!

solid sun
#

Anyways what I'm trying to say is you need to consider how far your prof points will be by the time you go to craft your own 1h or shield

#

if you do a 2h first

ivory barn
#

yeah, I'll just craft my 2H first

solid sun
#

You won't have enough sparks to craft your own 2h and have someone craft you a shield/1h simultaneously

lusty grotto
#

time is not a factor

solid sun
#

So since you gotta wait on the prot stuff, you might just look to see how your BS is looking. Maybe you can still craft your own stuff

ivory barn
#

I should have enough by first raid to craft that 2H tho

lusty grotto
#

a 2h, equipped as arms, relogging, makes any upgrade in hero track shield + 1h free

#

unless they removed that

#

but also it only applies to 2h, if you have both 1h and shield

ivory barn
#

my 2 2hders are capped ilvl rn

lusty grotto
#

that means nothing

solid sun
#

Your capped ilvl rn doesn't mean anything

glad magnet

#

nim is too fast

glad magnet
# lusty grotto good

jokes aside, i do think how they do it kinda sucks for the community, but is somewhat good for not nuking servers on release, but also a shit practice thats ultimately bad, but i mean, im a simp and i always buy the fancy pack

lusty grotto
#

well youre not alone

#

literally 99% of the regulars here bought it

coarse bay
#

while server condition might be a by-product, i dont think they care about that

lusty grotto

im probably the only one that didn't out of protest

coarse bay
#

its all $

lusty grotto
#

also during TWW

#

but anyway thanks for the final beta testing guys

glad magnet
#

been surprisingly good, a chill beta test

#

Nimchip you are not alone

lusty grotto
#

🤝

ivory barn
#

I wonder if I can still run this

lusty grotto
#

youre gonna get 1 shot

#

as a lvl 90

torn gulch
#

can you even enter if you re not level 80?

lusty grotto
#

you can

dusky canopy
#

did you test that at level 90?

lusty grotto
#

you just wont do any damage

#

we tested at key level 10

glad magnet
#

test it on a 2, do we get 90 champ track kek

lusty grotto
#

keystone scaling is in place so it applies it to lvl 90s, while 80s just flatten them in dmg and surv

#

so what the rdruid was telling me last night was correct

ivory barn
#

makes sense actually

lusty grotto
#

also

#

the scaling does not apply to HM Taz runs

#

we beat it, thanks to Cam and 2 other friends

#

big lvl 90 dps in there

#

but yeah that's about it, and raids i suppose

#

just don't do TWW keys

bleak breach
#

What you protesting about Nim

lusty grotto
#

early access for 90 dollars

bleak breach
#

Hmmm yes, I see.

near salmon
#

early access is toxic business practice

jagged gust
#

i still say its a net positive if you're a token enjoyer

lusty grotto
#

sure

loud rune
#

is it a personal preference between using whirlwind or revenge

lusty grotto
#

no

#

we dont use whirlwind

undone beacon
#

never use whirlwind

loud rune
#

is there a reason to it? i feel like pulling together feels easier with whirlwind

lusty grotto
#

we have very little talents that affect whirlwind

undone beacon
#

Whirlwind does less damage and has no active hooks into our rotation

lusty grotto
#

you may feel its easier now, but when you do relevant content and have people fulling threat just by looking at mobs you hit with it then you'll probably understand

ivory barn
#

umm.... 1 weapon is 4 sparks now

lusty grotto
#

use Tclap

#

and/or Revenge

undone beacon
#

we explained earlier to rhino

loud rune
#

got it

undone beacon
#

sparks arent "fractured" anymore, you get 1 a week

ivory barn
#

thats a lot of fucking mats

lusty grotto
#

like rhino said, its the same amount of time as the 2 sparks (4 fractured ones) in TWW

#

and DF

loud rune
#

and i just found out that shield block spell description says "blocks all melee attacks" but in reality only blocks frontal attacks, if we take it as 360°, are we speaking of 180° being covered or is there no exact data

lusty grotto
#

the only thing that changed is that you dont combine fractured sparks because valorstones/flightstones dont exist anymore

lusty grotto
#

you need to face mobs

#

othewise you risk character deletion when s1 comes out

#

thats always been the case for us

#

but also for other tanks because dodge/parry also follow the same rules

solid sun
#

I feel like this came up earlier today. Are we seeing an influx of new tanks? :O

lusty grotto
#

just as lesser extent

loud rune
#

when u say frontal, more like the yellow or pink area

We can use intervene but probably less than SC because intervene is more situational than anything but SC is very important.

Hey all

#

Im seeing the differences in talents on wowhead vs icyveins, and honestly im so confused by this as a new warrior. lol

#

Which one should i follow as a new tank

coarse bay
#

Any differences probably wont be major, i used the wowhead build personally

nocturne latch
#

Well, im only asking cause of certain talent choices (Storm bolt vs intervene)

coarse bay
#

Storm bolt has much more use

#

A lot of flex points for talent builds are for utility and can be swapped around for niche purposes or for personal preference

nocturne latch
#

They both have stormbolt

coarse bay
#

That’s usually where guides differ

nocturne latch
#

One doesnt have intervene i should say

coarse bay
#

Ya it’s just a preference in utility

nocturne latch
#

I wouldve thought second wind would be a choice, but neither takes it lol

#

So my theory crafting goes wooosh lmao

mighty valley
#

we're always taking damage, so second wind does not do much for us

lusty grotto
#

icy veins talents are generally better because Mwahi is a mod here

#

pumps is not really active here but i think hes around so idk if he can answer questions

#

but yeah second wind isnt that good

#

the builds in both sites should work, just take note if one of them does not go shield spec, we might not recommend it

nocturne latch
#

Does not go shield spec? o.o

lusty grotto
#

and also ITF vs HR

#

is important

nocturne latch
lusty grotto
#

youll go ITF in raid, and HR in keys until we figure out the haste required for ITF in keys

#

into the fray

#

heavy repercussions

nocturne latch
#

Ahhhhh

mighty valley
#

honestly if you're v new, just pick either talent build and learn the basics til the season actually starts, not a ton of hugely impactful choices right now

#

def start with HR though

nocturne latch

got it

Thane is recommended to start? I know there was a season where it was Col until 4pc then Thane but that wasn't clear in the guides

undone beacon
#

Thane is ahead of colossus in general, yes

#

Might change with the tuning on the 17th but for now it’s Thane

Man now that I’m leveling my warr, I gotta say Phalanx just feels so whatever

#

Feels like they didn’t have a cohesive idea for what pwar apex should be

mighty valley
#

i haven't really looked at anyone else's apex talents

#

it's free aoe damage i don't think about

#

i'm aight with it

ebon geyser
undone beacon
#

I mean it’s fine it just doesn’t feel like the apex of a prot warrior

glad magnet
#

with our little earth animation cone on SS and our lightnings, im starting to feel like im the missing shaman tank

undone beacon
#

Like Bear you can feel because getting your ravages to echo has a tangible and satisfying feedback piece

#

Shadow priest feels cool when your apparitions are casting void bolts

#

Survival hunter has you swiping and slashing a bunch, it feels cool

#

Phalanx is like, here’s a little rumble cone when you hit SS that you can barely see peepo

#

It’s a thematic complaint more than anything but, what’s the point of discord if not to bitch and moan

solid sun
#

I think it's thematic

#

tbh

#

We're turbo shield users

#

We're like the most shieldy shield users

mighty valley
#

fair enough that it doesn't feel satisfying, i'll go play some other characters eventually and come back PISSED OFF

Could they have made us turn into dragons instead?

i dont think there's anything wrong with it, yes its lazy but whatever

it does need a buff though

undone beacon
#

Have you played with Phalanx, it feels so underwhelming from an effects standpoint

#

It feels no different than not having it

solid sun
#

I mean it's taking my shield slam and turning into a better shield slam right

lusty grotto
#

hence the buff part

solid sun
#

So I've become a better shield master

ebon geyser
#

waiting until the 17 is brutal for spec nerfs/buffs

undone beacon
#

Does taking Punish or Heavy Repercussions make you feel more like a shield master

lusty grotto
#

why is it brutal

#

we're doing jack shit until then anyway

solid sun
#

It def needs a damage buff and tbh idk what the effect even looks like. If it's not visually appealing that's sad panda times

ebon geyser

to long for buffs/nerfs

I'm just saying I do think it's a thematic fit

nah its not

its just right

im holding on my other toons because i wanna see how bad they fk it up

Rarely is a tank so bad it’s unplayable for the vast majority of people

i have been saying i wanna do war but i get anxiety since im used to pally, like IP, SW i dont know how to use them lol like i get panicked on pulls

lusty grotto
#

i dont think phalanx has anything to do with that

#

nor buffs to it

undone beacon
#

Keep Shield Block up, use IP to dump rage, SW as a defensive

#

Phalanx tuning doesn’t matter there yeah that’s just core rotation

#

And the only way to overcome that anxiety is to play it

coarse bay
#

Tuning is such a nothing burger in general for the last while

#

Blizzard is pretty good on balance

I havent bothered to read it in terms of crests because i dont care about gear rn

adventurer is the lowest type of crest

it doesnt matter

you can just do laps around quel'danas and get them

where you wanna save is in hero crests

Ya the only way theyd matter at all is if theyre capped, i dont even know if they are because ive never looked at them

lusty grotto

they should be capped

coarse bay

Either way theyre def just junk for sure

lusty grotto

yea

lusty grotto

just a heads up

yea i figured it didnt matter haha i just wanted to double check

lusty grotto
#

oh, then your officers should have it

#

im surprised they havent shared it with your guild

worthy karma
#

yee i had it, it just doesnt give specific crest strategy for early stuff, which I guess means it doesnt matter hahaa

coarse bay
#

Ya if something matters, its mentioned

lusty grotto

adventurer, and veteran crests usually dont matter

#

there are probably instructions for champ crests to skip some heroic uppies

but...

chances are you wont need to anyway because of keys

undone beacon

Once you hit crest cap the extra crests turn into Voidlight Marl peepoBlush

Before crest changes, we were going to avoid upgrading for like a month according to the guide

I didn’t want to do it bc it seemed unfun, but I’m sick of dungeons, they are not as quick as tww

It gets progressively harder as you level up.
Some real gamer moments in the 87-89 range, but I was still managing to pull essentially the whole place
