Which is why you don't need to track it
Shield Block is our primary mitigation tool and is the thing you need to ensure you have 100% uptime on (while tanking, but whenever possible when not tanking as well for damage)
What if... magic/bleed dam? 
anyone want to make a joke out of this, cmon gang
what is this? legion?
indeed we must spam IP, then IP some more, chargeweave IP
yeah of course I am gonna have shield block 100%, its the initial big pulls that burn through your IP so damn quickly
thanks for the info though, I will be more mindful about this in my gameplay
thankfully we also generate the most rage on pull
you also generate a lot of rage in big pulls
so by playing by the same rules, you naturally put up a lot of IP anyway
yep
It's almost as if... it was designed to be like that
Question is, by chance, over many itterations, each slowly improving to this point... or, some dev actually put thought into it
you know the answer
they just stumbled upon it while redesigning shield barrier
and heavily nerfing legion's version
and adding a gcd to it in BFA
and then removing it
put that shit back on the gcd
RIP off-GCD demo

that one does still hurt ghash
A GCD of no damage hell yeah dude
Tbf they did actually increase the duration of basically everything that got left on GCD after they reverted some of it
to accommodate the empty global
Give ignore pain a 24hr cool-down so we can make old people jokes
Always weird to see you here Mez, howdy
Howdy good sir
Good to be back tbh, taking off S3 kinda sucked
Wish I’d chosen the warrior life sooner too
!ip
i will slap you
If I do a slash I see spoiler and wordle
We have a wordle command?
Or is that just discord
It's a wordle bot it looks like
If it's a discord command, it will say built-in on the far right
I’m sure lots of people play wordle when they’re taking a slash
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Would it be visible to everyone
i am very mad about this image
Or just the person using the command
Everyone
is that charles kirkus?
ready to watch ppl get emotional
Dang you got got
It's probably usable in off-topic or something
┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
Trinket tuning
Just hit
im bored
@steady karma why you guys baiting us with wordle bot when you can't use it anywhere 
i dunno how badly i want to send a 192 paladin into zeros lmao
i mean
what one
if it has big number and small cd its good
if its has long cd and small number, it sucks
if it heals, it sucks
tbh i prefer the one where you find the relation between words
im not confident he will live
Or otherwise, do the 5 minute void zone campaign for pre raid
Gives a ton of 214 gear
Healer won’t be bored
Just don't mongo and gg
decided to swap into Sus prot since its only a 1k dps difference between thane at current ilvls, will probably swap back once i hit 10s during the first few weeks but man, i love pressing demolish too much to care about the performance diff
you can tank a m0 comfortably in 180 gear, you will be more than fine
I did m0s as 150 ilvl no problem
its not a massive difference, play what you want
it really wasnt hard just push ur buttons and kite. not any hard than shadowlands s1
same! fresh 90, just make your own group & watch the 240s roll in, feels great to tank
shadowlands s1 so aids kite all day
when they make a tier set favoring one or the other, then that's when we'll flat out recommend the one
definitely! if all goes well when s1 drops ill just stick with Sus, i did the same in season 3 tww & made it to 3k with almost zero burnt keys
Bear, go in with all CDs, slap for 5 sec, rush out - go boomie for the rest
gg ez pz
SL in a nutshell
wat that mean sus prot
so tomorrow do we get daily m0 resets?
yes
excellent
well in NA at least
yea, NA
yea
Anyone else get a weird bug where you try to fight the last boss of the tier and your games crashes? Unsure what is going on, but it seems like some kind of L'ura Error.

But if we're already ilvl 240+ and have access to heroic crests, why farm M0s?
id say you answered your own question

IM STILL TRACKING IP!!!!
you do you
fuck thats good
first time we get there i'm alt+f4ing and using that
I had to reread it three times to stop reading it as LUA
hehe!
what ilvl do the world quest weekly things give
this one
220
do i have to do it
🤷♂️
i wonder if i even get invited with 200 ilvl
just make your own group yogi
do we have a spell reflect list for this season coming up? 😄
sense is working on it but there's one in maxroll
Nimchip I pray for the blizzard devs to give execute back after this week
I shall come back later if I’m doing something wrong. 😑

Just leveling my warrior now. Are we slower? Or is it just because I’m leveling as Prot / low haste?
We are slower, both because we have less haste (lower gear levels relatively), and because Anger Management's effect requires more rage now.
Awe. I missed the crazy button pressing 🙁
also leveling makes your stats have less value
which is normal on an expansion release
youll need more haste rating to get back to what you had before
Ah. So not as bad at 90
make sure you swap to Heavy Repercussions to keep SB up
it doesnt really get better until myth tracks and hero tracks show up
so it can be worse at 90
and maybe up until s2
The crafted weapons have a weird damage skew, any reason to choose one over another? Or are they all interchangeable with no difference in performance?
theres no difference
there hasnt been one in like 6 expansions
damage is normalized
it turns into AP
Okay sick thank you for the fast reply , I made sure to check pins and search'ed before I asked lol
Are we pretty much safe to spend veteran crests at this point? Guides were saying to hold onto them and craft but as I understand it that's not the plan anymore
Considering Champ gear is plentiful next week, and M+ is the week after, yeah
Preseason optimization is also a lil silly
Lol yea, it's always fun to see how far you can push it but it is a bit silly
I've sent all my vet + adv crests, most things are getting disenchanted next week anyways haha
Go crazy
I just wanted to have a funny abbreviation for colossus prot
I will not cease until Sus Prot is the communally accepted term
You will die on that hill my friend
As a true warrior shall
My crusade in the druid discord was referring to apex talents as OATs instead of WG or WiGu or anything else
you getting ready for HoF eh
mines only 15
and that was just doing the alt delves
i started at 13
shield or wep first craft?
Hey, playing all the tanks right now. Just getting used to prot rotation, isn’t it optimal to macro shield block to revenge and slam since SB and IP should always be up anyway.
read the pins
Yea, but I mean SB always comes first, and it has a cooldown unlike Revenge. Just wondering if there is a reason not to?
Sometimes your SB duration will be plenty healthy and you need to save that rage to spend on e.g. Revenge to fill a GCD
You just need to be conscious of all rage spending
you will burn a lot of rage in one button and being rage starved is bad bad bad
You dont just slam SB whenever its up, Sometimes you just want to revenge. Fucks with your rage economy, which is the most important part of playing Pwarr
while we're here, IP is also not an uptime buff haha
yeah managing rage is core to warrior, but especially important to prot due to AM (anger management) and VO (violent outburst)
I see, thanks
Ah, I saw a post saying keep it up >80 at all times?
no
50% dr seems important?
Nope
I'll let Nim do this one
oh god you've triggered the nim wall
Get your copypasta Nim
😆

tldr: press it when your rage is over 70 and you'll be fine in most situations
but it is worth reading to understand the reasoning
HELLO YES I WAS SUMMONED?
god trying to keep IP over 80% cap at all times would absolutely kill you
Wow, thank god we dont have to track it lmao. I was having a stroke checking my buffs
it's good in high end content to be able to glance at it in specific situations
but yeah, don't hurt your brain trying to keep it up together with sb
tl;dr as a prot warrior you want to keep your rage bouncing between 30 rage and 70 rage at all times
70+ rage you IP
30 to 70 is rage used on revenge if you need to proc a shield slam and if thunderclap is down
30 rage for emergency shield block use
Thanks! great info all
Also for apex phalanx, is it optimal in aoe to thunderclap first then shield slam?
Who wrote that wall of text originally?
grok
I don't think maximizing phalanx is worth disrupting the rotation for but that's a gut feeling and not backed up by science tbh
I see
Cool, prot is much simpler rotation wise than I thought then. That’s a good thing haha
🤞
Easily top 5
One of the tanks of all time fosho
Heck a bdk
i swear to christ if Astalor ends up being Sire Denathrius
I dont think he is Sire Denathrius but I can see a link back to Revendreth or Denathrius
They already set up a light vs revendreth thing in SL
But Astalor has been around for a while
Yeah, the whole Ember Ward part of Revendreth that was all fucked up was because the Light directly attacked Revendreth, and in Sanguine Depth we rescue the naa'ru Zi'rali
And Astalor (iirc) was like best buddies and a close advisor to Kael'thas
i remember that, i just forgot about astalor
He was a big fan of sucking the light juice out of Muu'ru or whichever naa'ru they chained up in the basement
nerd dragons
yeah im going over the wow wiki cause i had forgotten all about this guy
i love that everyone's just cool with astalor being around
just got a weird freak dungeon where he's doing experiments with Anguish
tf do you mean prison
and everyone's like "yeah man keep doing your thing"
I mean that’s our boy Astalor everyone knows he’s a freak but he helped create the blood knights so like
do we consider that a good thing or
no kink shaming in silvermoon
Yes

Heres a meme I made in like 2 mins
Did you draw the speech bubbles in paint?
I think, if you did, it really reveals some stellar mouse work
You must be aces at fps games
Astalor is sasuke
No it’s from a meme from a few years back
Oh
Well I tried giving you some flowers
You're so honest you denied them
Now you get new flowers for honesty
Has there been any sims done to know if going into raid tomorrow which hero tree comes out on top with the upcoming buffs?
I haven't been paying close attention to here
thane is ahead by a tiny bit

https://x.com/i/status/2033685433670848709 Gaze nerfed again wth
How is she in higher levels? Doing finally something good or still a useless bitch?
idk i will wait 45 before trying
it is not fast at all
yea i saw it got fixed
But wouldnt higher delves be better for xp?

God damn Alnseer nerf.

wth
preparing for high delves i guess
btw have u guys seen the new DLSS 5?
are the prot buffs good?
12% damage. some would say that is good
but they moved the 5% dr to 4/4 apex instead of 1/4 so its harder to only do 1/4
yes but does this make us better than other tanks?
ok i haven't been in here since launch
is anyone else finding this spec just miserably boring
I don't think it's much worse than most other things in the game at the moment but, uh,
I haven't even hit 90 yet because I just keep playing other games, so
(Not that I really intended on playing this season much until after mid-April; have other things to hit first)
welcome to the new slowed down version of prot
it's just strictly less fun than last tier i think, like yeah our tier set was pretty cringe rng but at least i had to use my brain sometimes
shit not even my brain, but i had to use my hands sometimes
you can't even dump triple shield slam proc you have to weak TCs it's so bedge
I started to learn prot war in midnight, it's been a great experience but i still have some issues
the wowhead guide says that we play tough as nails over massacre for raid? holy fuck it's so over executebros
yep
The main issue i got is about Shield block,
Is it possible to maintain it at 100% right now ?
but check icy veins wowhead not the best anymore
Wowhead is also no longer written by Nome, and iirc is kinda a side project or something
even less haste yippee :DDDDDD
Not shade on the writer, since from what I know Pumps is decent, but just isn't a dedicated PWar player
I didnt even know going 1/4 In apex was something we were doing lol
its not
Pumps is very good but i've never seen him on anything other than druid or
There was just a large shake up on both the structure for guides and in writers coming up on Midnight
personally, i think the icy veins stuff as a whole is generally better than most of the wowhead guide setups atm just aesthetically
What do u mean by HR ? Sorry i'm a beginner on that manner ^^
Talent by the name of Heavy Repercussions
It's on a choice node with Into the Fray
It gives a ton of extra Shield Block duration at the cost of not really giving you extra damage like the haste from ItF gives
Oh i get it
Makes your shield slam give more rage too
If you don't have enough haste baseline to maintain Shield Block enough for your needs, you use Heavy Repercussions to shore up the uptime; it's more important that you can not die and pull bigger than optimize damage
I guess since we don't have enough haste this early in the expansion it's better to do this
Ok ! Seems clear enough
If you ever gear out of haste to get ilvl in future patches, as well, it's good to keep in mind.
or you just grab itf anyway and say healer issue
if everything dies before you have a gap in SB uptime, it's no problem, ez
i think the recommended raid build is maybe the most boring collection of talents i've ever seen fuck you blizz
why are they incapable of balancing the execute talents properly
yeah that's what i mean
and made ToN completely overpowered
the only decision we can actually make in our tree
is whether to go execute talents or not
but it's not even a choice because they're so dogshit LMAO
nah your choice is now
4/4 apex or 1/4 + LS + indom + BSV
u can run BSV with 4/4 too
if u like
you can just -deep wounds +BSV from the recommended build right
u drop the focus rev one in m+
but the raid build is kinda set
if u want to press execute at all u have to basically take deep wounds to make it worth while
i guess it's just insane to me that tough as nails is more dps than massacre
in raid
like how is that real
because execute hits for nothing
i know i just can't believe blizz lets it be that bad
I had to do like 20 preys or something like that at the time 😂
I can; I'm pretty sure Blizz just hates Execute's entire existence and having to consider it at all, just based on how they talk about the button in the blue posts over the years. I think there was even a time when they basically said it wasn't a high rage cost ability meant to do high damage or something like that
Think that one was when they hit the Colo talents and made it no longer stack Demo?
reason #17845
I was hoping I could at least play guardian and have some options in my talent tree/hero talent selection but now I can’t even do that
And my co-tank already yoinked playing brew
It’s so over
Yeah it sounds like you just shouldn’t play right now lol
I also think execute is in a weird spot rn. Our spec tree is pretty tight and blizzard wants their apex talents to be used. If execute is too good you might skip apex points
Idk why they didn't just make the new points apex points.
Same
RIP tablet
i cant be 100% sure but i think it totally die
not accepting ressurection (charge from wall)
and the screen all fucked up from time to time
Rip
it had a good run, 5 years
might repair it upon getting replacement
use it for some bullshit like camera
So, play prot war?
ya the 4/4 apex was dealing 150% dmg when it was supposed to be doing 100% for bear lol
so it got smacked
game is still fun even if the class is boring and awful + hard to take a break when raidlead 
Everything just slowed down
I preferred the spammy gameplay over what we have now. lol
but I am still doin prot war and guardian druid
im just pissed off that day 1 they add "farm for 120 days in a row,, 4 months EVERYDAY," to be able to have the best profession gear
could have waited 12.0.5 or 12.1
i still only did eversong and half of ZA for side quests
not touched a single quest in harandar or void place tbh, like a few hand ins, thats it
so i cant even do the blacksmithing event nim was CLICK IT TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS cuz ur asking it
sojourner burns me out
and there was a bunch of world quests on alts that i have to do parts of story line or some quests, and its like, i just want to run the wq and claim the gear
im gettin annoyed slowly
I think you're right. They even yeeted HoW.

all i want to do is log into the game and press buttons and do things immediately
example, right now, i would want to play dk, he has ilvl 80 gear
so im stuck doing solo content
dawg it'd take you no time at all to be 220+
yes for sure, but say i want to do the pvp area quests in void place
i have to do some kind of quest to see the monster
same with i had same exact issue on the eversong adventurers 220 box on paladin
so i took a 30 minute detour to do that
I’m not understanding this rant
Are you upset that you need to do certain things to boost your ilvl up?
that i have to do them, and then it makes me do a story mode quest just to be able to access doing that quest
Follow The Arrow is actually such a great leveling addon. While yes the route might be known already, but overall its a really good alternative to things like Zygor or RestedXP
i just dont want to have to jump through a bunch of hoops, lol
@toxic pewter what spec should I que solo shuffle to 1600?
did we get last embelish tunings yet?
In my opinion fury is stronger right now
Than Prot!?
But things can change today after tuning
Oh I don’t really play prot in PvP but you can def queue prot and reach 1600
It’s def possible for sure
Maybe fury is the play just brain off Zug gg go next
Yeah like I can’t deny
I usually play arms in PvP
But fury is actually just like wild right now with its apex
And just go in and you’re unrelenting
Don't prot, you'll have more fun as Fury, or arms. Fury is more steady damage, Arms is more burst. Go Fury its looking better than arms unfortunately.
@lusty grotto will the rng gods bless me with tier from lfr today so i can have 4pc next week while I’m off work for the key farm?
Plus all tanks were nerfed for pvp
Yah tanks took heavy nerf today
Tyty probably just send fury
mhm
I wish with how bad Arms is atm even with buffs they would just go ham on it for pvp to at least give every spec an outlet Id be okay with that.
Arms getting 15% buff today and it’s gonna be really good
Yeah its far more playable but its not as good as fury which the community looks at when pick and choosing.
Thankfully im prot lol
Yeah
I called for a 45% and people thought I was crazy
Take it up and bring it down slowy > start in hell to crawl out of hell into hell.
Nerf cleave, buff ms/exe by X amount, and then aura buff up to 100-105k like everyone else
Lol
I don't want homogynized specs, but the numbers should be closer.
Good morning
Arms sims almost as good as brewmaster after those amazing buffs 
Whoa no way!?
I think early sims for arms were like 88k? Top specs are 120
But who knows, we’ll see soon enough.
that spell breaker shelter kinght commanders palisade crafted shield might be like ultra giga dead
cuz the effect doesnt look good on paper
and it shares appearance with the other one
one of them will be anyways
What’s it do
interesting
if it goes on cooldown for 45s or a minute or so its probably really bad
those amounts def seem kinda low
1.2k absorb shield
Kinda sad how weak embellishments are.
add another zero to it's dmg and shield and make the cd 10-20 seconds max and then its good lol
kinda sad how this made it to the final version of the game lol
ya lol
maybe it has a .5 sec cd? 
Maybe someone just missed a 0 like said above 
that and havent we already seen 10 billion trinkets and effects that are "boom shield"
how THE FUCK is it possible that I get slain by the same FUCKING ROGUE 4 times back to back, I thought I somehow got rid of him, why cant I just level in peace with warmode on 
its like the monster that teleports behind you every 4 seconds while you are doing a quest, and hes an elite, so hes supposed to be scary cuz you dont know what hes doing
but its just annoying to fight the quest monster in reality, dies in rotation or two
wouldnt be the first time, math isnt their strength, besides MTX
nothing new
and theres about 50 quest all with the same friggin guy
Random shields don’t achieve much anyway, unless they proc all the time and sum up to crazy numbers at the end the dungeon.
shields that come with embellishments are always shit
Straight facts lol
this piece of shit
They had to buff it and it was still bad
especially compared to the other choices
i just remember there was alot of talks about it back in those days
yeah, a lot of "don't craft this piece of shit"
lol
live your best life brother
"should the shield be breached before it expires" my brother in christ an open world non elite mob hits for more than 1.2k.
i believe at some point now blizzard has said "transmog is the real end game"
so, that makes my desire to collect old transmogs correct
but often if i go to solo old raid i will get lost or soft locked on some boss
People catching my shenanigans fast round here
what are those embelishments I keep hearing about?
every embelishment kinda sucks ass
they are little lies if you will
I kinda suck ass
stop sucking ass
Heck no u don’t
I do i do
an embellishment wants to be a trinket
but its 1/2 or 1/3rd of a trinket power at best
Embellishments are gimmicks to force more engagement with professions
And theyre fine, kinda dont care about them, could be more interesting i guess
But nothing’s really interesting anymore, trinkets have no flavor either
wanted to say suck something else, but that would be weird

Is execute still bugged?
Is it worth having execute while it is bugged?
Well we’ll have it, just wont use it except thane st
Who said execute was bugged?
it all started in a youtube video by sha
he say it bugged in the video andd now everyone is saying that
It doesn’t do dmg, must be bugged, duh 
Didn’t Skyhold say there was no evidence it was bugged and is just tuned low
does he state whats bugged about it?
The tool tip has execute doing less damage than revenge. It was mentioned being a bug so I thought it made sense
The bug is in the dev team
yeah its not bugged
sounds just like when ppl were saying u need to cancelaura TB because the tooltip says it does less damagethan TC, when its a different type of damage so its not reduced by things like armour and give lightenin strikes etc
so that was also dumb
wat in the world who is cancelauraing tb
I think it is easy to confuse yhe two if something is that insanely undertundd
you get older
yeah no clue
i feel more lost everyday
what happened to just playing the game and pressing shit that lights up
It’s a new psyop
yes
ppsyop propaganda
lol thats what people have resorted to
I am once again asking for the bugs to be fixed
I love that Sense just randomly peeps prot discord and hits me with a rhino
It’s definitely one of my favorite things
Oh hey cam we need to talk
You don’t suck mkay

You’re very good very powerful
Very bad very weak
I spent all my gold and im poor too
Add it to the list
Are embellishments cheap
I forgot to buy one
What did you spend your gold on
It would have been so funny if you said you lost it in a death roll
gold rank ones not the cheapest
can be like upwards of 10k
Imagine
Rip
2000 m+ score is what level in every dungeon?
6-7

get him
It do be the true though
67 seems really low is that true
https://mrmythical.com/rating-calculator?runs=ARAK071 this seems old as hell but it might still math
just do your weekly keys, you will get your score goals
i can't wait to get shittalked by multiple people in M+, always a nice experience
Why would you be shit talked
According tjay you need all 7s except for 2. A +7 is going to be pretty easy to do unless they massively rebalanced like they did s1 tww. They didnt do that right?
They arent out, so we dont know. Unlikely
Anything with cam in it will be easy
"pull more for god sake"
"why are you pulling this group"
true cam is gamer
and stuff like that
just ignore them
i learned my lesson last season lmfao
For the casuals, this might be hard
dont be such an elitist
This is a seasonal goal for quite many
lol
The only thing is that if there is some dungeon is a mega giant pain in the ass bc its bugged or overtuned.. then doing a +7 is not worth bc they gonna fix
i think i can reach 7-10s, starting with ilvl 243 is not so bad
dang that cold af
my only concern is pit of saron
i hate this dungeon
so much
and maisara caverns too
Heresy
pit of saron may be my fav one in the set this season
Is disable your chat window
Good thing you have a whole week to bump that ilvl up!
Get rid of it
I havent done the reworked version did they mess it up or is it still good like it was?
Pit of Saruman is the one with the ice giant right
And there's the professor with his slave

I’m not worried about it. Anything I don’t know APB and cam and pash and Nimchip and cat will teach me
i am concerned that I did not study routes but I am sure the best ones bubble up


Routes are for nerds we hold W in this house
Very very very few people did, dont stress it
I wasn’t in the original list Goodluck buddy
Listen just ignore the RouteLords dude
Just do your route
the followers will follow
That’s because you got a special mention earlier brew
How do you get restored dwelve keys in midnight
Apparently week 1 10s will be 200k cut
What does that mean
For boosting
Carries I presume
jesus
Buying a week one 10 sounds... miserable
Which discord do you use? I've been meaning to find one
lolwtf
bruh
Title teams
I can
To fund consumables for pushing
I'm sure a group of guildies and I could carry a 10 next week no issue
Basically already do depending on who is with us
I dont
Pm me the discord you use to get cuts pls

Real lmao
Y’all are so powerful
How did it become known as being the helmet
Idk
lol
WOOO RET BUFFS

Ret stronk
who here getting 1600 in pvp this rank for tier charge
How many times have I unknowingly been the helmet… 
do it elite set looks sick
Didnt ret just get their buffs slightly nerfed?
🤮
yah ashen verdict 30% down to 15% iirc
yeah, 110 to 108 on that spreadsaheet
lol
Well
Ret keeps getting changes
But pwar bugs can’t be fixed???
I’ll never let them get away with this
we gotta shut it all down
I think my mage is bugged too tbh
Fuck
DISCORD STRIKE
It really did stop my entire world
I stopped everything that was going on to watch it
Did u stop the pipe laying?
oh right the pipe how'd the pipe go
I did I had a pipe halfway in the trench and halfway out
Watching the rets strike
And everyone make fun of them
can't really unring that bell either
Cant unpipe the pipe
I had some friends ask me to help them out yesterday so I couldn’t continue leveling my warrior. For the first time ever I hit raid launch without my warrior being max level
new slayer rotation
Oh what are people talking about then
Maybe people still bringing up the changes before
I think the OP was edited?
Oh maybe
i had a surgery but i finished like 2 weeks ago with a pr on bench and skipped leg day
no lifting for a month
Hey @daring marlin I saw something that made me think of you
What was your pr?
305
Someone put these Pokémon figures in their bathroom but they were like powerlifter versions. Since you like anime and lifting
LMFAO
Def need a powerlifting charmander bathroom buddy
I cannot fucking believe they buffed the bottom specs more and just said fuck arms??? Hello
I managed 315 for 10 strict reps yesterday. That was pretty sick.
gotta chase 315 next big dog!
That's an insane amount of weight to me lol. I have no idea of my bench press capabilities but I imagine it's like 100 lmao
I have a buddy the same weight as you doing the same. I go super early now so I don't see him much anymore.
too risky nowadays. hit the big 40 and just trying to stay healthy
Ahhhh I'm on my way there too. 36. 😂
least we have good habits now
Yeah good habits
I just went to whataburger and I chose not to eat the entire breakfast bowl
Did you really
mmmm whataburger breakfast
I really did

Jakey are you doing good

when i lived in chicago there was a bbq place that had brisket and eggs that was open at 7:00am so I could grab that and walk to the office
Sounds awesome
love brisket
it was a real good deal because it wasn't like lunch prices
That sounds incredible lol
allo greetings, im relativly new to wow and am getting ready for mythic + and so on. some things are understandable just by browsing through wowhead and looking at things but i dont quiet understand why.
for prot warrios the stat prio is
str > haste > crit > versa > mastery
but why is mastery so low and crit so high. i mean understandably that crit is good for damage and heals too but the crit parry chance doesnt seam to be so good of value by looking at it in defensive prio compared to mastery who makes our blocks better?
first off, our stats are all relatively close together, so ilvl increases are almost always worth taking regardless of stat spread
yea thats what my friends also sayed, always go for ilvl but non of them play warrior so needed to find a place to ask deeper questiosn xD
part of what mastery does is increase block chance, which is literally worthless when we have shield block up all the time. so then you're just comparing crit fully negating an attack vs. crit block reducing some damage from an attack
it's not really a big deal though, and mastery got better this season now that we can take Tough As Nails
well its also all our mit and normal shield block takes u close to damage cap already
so making it just block more damage to the damage cap doesnt do as much DR as just full up stopping attacks through parry
I miss BoM
ohhh that makes a lot of sense then

is tough as nails something i want for mythic +?
yes
good damage for one point
the alst time i checked wow head it was like this, the only thing i changed was on the right side that shield wall gives more health
id follow the icy veions builds

but yer LS outside of very high keys has no place
and your other flex point is bloodsurge
Ye, it's quite nice.
some people run crit mastery build even its more rare but some people like it
may not be the 'best' but some people enjoy slower more heavy hitting style
could you show me how your talent trees look like? :3
I just run icy veins colossus build cuz I think its more fun
i kinda got the impression that colossal is not so good for m+?
cause of the lacking aoe stuff
it's more annoying to gather with but the two are overall close
prob best to stick with thane at the start yah
but one day you may want to try colossus just for fun and see how you like it
Not having juice on the pull don't feel great.
mhm, what else would you say on the prot warrior tree, i could remove for tough as nails?
cause i do kinda love "last stand"
for the panic button heal effect of it
thats not how it works
its tied to SW
u use it before damage
u dont use it as a heal
member bolster
if you really, really want last stand I guess drop bloodsurge ?
and on a 25 second cd
Ideally you're not reactively panic walling.
yea nah u do be right
Yeah Shield Wall should not be used as a panic button. Prot is a proactive tank, not a reactive one
So playing with that could lead to some scuffed habits.
that is very fair 😄
alrighty, yea i have been using shield wall since midnight basicly prepull to get into them. wich felt nice. i think now that you say it it does make senes, the 30% bonus health probably wasnt to much impact until i start generating my other stuff
but sometimes mid pull when damage was low it was nice to have a second one up to heal me a little bit but normally i guess it shouldnt come to that right?
well thats what impending victory is for
piggybacking on this but I know that like there's some interaction between leaping charge and taunt or whatever for traversing and grabbing threat. can anyone put that into words
there are cases in very long pulls with lots of rot in very high keys it can be used, but thats for the top .1%
leap resets the cooldown of taunt
mhm nah that makes very much sence what you guys are saying 🙏 thanky very much for the tips. i shall put them to good uses next week on reset
Question: how bad is playing Col over MT?
not really
you just play differently
and your group has to play differently around u
I do not agree with the premise of your question
lol. Sorry. Was just saying if I play COL am I hurting my group. I just really like it over MT
No you're not
Play what you find most fun
if your actions arent leading to the group getting killed fuck em
Nah I’d colossus all day if you prefer it
I dislike col bc it has a manditatory cast
dps starts to matter more when you are getting to, if the vualt is 10s, you are doing 15s
then its time to minmax
with survival vs dps
Is there an M+ spell reflect sheet again?
yah the demolish channel has always been a bit controversial
ye its on maxroll
Maxroll?
yer wolfdisco has done one
Why would 10% DR while still being able to block be controversial
so its on maxroll as they are affiliated with echo
🤔
Melee hate standing still
I mean I am inclined to agree personally, but some people really dislike it
generally, GENERALLY, spell reflect works best on (frost/fire/shadow bolt), single target typically magic or curse debuffs (DEPENDS)
i will say demolish really does block all displacement effects now, in the past it was sort of hit and miss
and does NOT work on explosive fire nova
for the actual reflect portion, however you may wish to activate it for spell reflects DR
few dr attached to it in talent
ADADADADADADADADADADADADAD
before pings in keys we had ADADADADADAD
lolwtf
well if nothings happening to you, nothing needs change, boss position etc
you stand still kill boss
shit goin wrong u gettin debuff and boss pointing at u dps
they gunna move make you notice
Jump as you cast col :wesmart:
you can actually leap while demolishing i think it wil lfinish the channel
hungry
Unrelated to this discussion but I love this shit when looking up guides or builds in any game
lol
Just a whole fucking thesis on why not to buy this one upgrade
Only to counter the person's whole argument with: 'yeah but its fun to play lol'.
I'm trying to get better at this game but the more I learn the more fearful I am
"Finally," then continues on for many more sentences
Theres so much metagaming
My favorite maneuver, dragged straight from corporate HR meetings
that game seems very daunting to me
Highkey I spend more time in hard bot matches than vs actual players because I'm not confident yet to not throw a lobby
"and lastly" continues to yap for 20 min straight
wow thats alot of words
Honestly, pick a char you find fun, play normals and vibe. Learning builds doesn't really help if you're not familiar with the game's other fundamentals yet. You think little timmy whispershouting slurs into his mic or mike coming home from his 9-5, zooted out of his mind care? There's no stakes in normals.
Hope you can use this in conversation sometime. Thanks for watching!

Yeah thats fair. I'm just dog at MOBAs and feel kinda bad but at the same time
This is literally me
It's the same with working out or starting to learn an instrument. We all gotta start somewhere. If people flame you in normals, they need to do some self reflection
Its part of the learning curve. Same advice we give to new tanks
i had a hard crash out about league of legends like 10 years ago
never again
that game i cant stand it
deadlock owns
I have played 1 (one) game of league in my entire life, was confused and did not have fun, and haven't played it since
Deadlock is fun though
Gun Warden my beloved
Been tanking for 1 xpac now and i still get tank anxiety for doing pug keys kekw
If you dont mind aesthetics you could also try out overwatch
never changes with pugs
Balance is doubtful at times but the game can be pretty fun
Cause what if im not doing the best route and the dh hopped on Adderall starts writing a thesis about how i should commit long sleep
Certified overwatch disliker
keep in mind normal puglogic for wow and you'll be fine
Gives me a migraine if I play for more than 10 minutes
IYKYK about pug logic
Quite sad but absolutely understandable
i dont even have to explain if you been there enough times
I thought only sense spell reflect was legal
Was going to give OW a try, but then they gave the 2b skin to kiruki.
Yeah out of all characters...
no i had a good time on overwatch lol
wat is 2b
its not for me but its fun when its fun
The type of game you boot up with friends every once in a while to mess around. Kinda like league arams.
i see
Fun game I completed it
Is mountain thane a lot better than demolisher? I thought it was the other way around initially
Thane has the edge on Colossus, but both are playable right now
what i like the most of all is gravity (wipeout and hi-octane[zero ppl from this chat will know that game likely]) and real-ish (gran turismo or forza anything, and especially when you can go like 200++mph
go fast is feels so good
the main issue with colossus right now is snap threat is really much worse
and gathering, etc
I love leaping max range to disruptive shout 3 casters and charging back in 1 picosecond
paladin mining and herbing was the biggest 5 head move i ever did, bubble gathering lol
increas mount speeed
seems good

so, today is "season 1" right
but there is no keys till 24th
so season 1 adds what?
just vualt progress? or
today is start of season yes.. 24th brings m+, mythic raid
vault progress starts today
so like ur first vault will be a week from today /tomorrow for EU
Everytime I open my fridge it’s like vault day
someone mentioned overwatch this is me
oh, i guess its 6 games of orissa, 67 kills
before the meme
never play ow again
overwatch owns
Mostly disappointment but occasionally full of so much of your favourite stuff that you can’t eat all of it?
i dont like that everything in the game has a relatively low hp bar
yes there is healers, but doesnt stop 1 shots, and healer has to heal you
Ingredient fridge 
Never underestimate a Rhino’s ability to eat it all
When doing the veteran crest crafts, would it be worth it to send one onto the shield for that momentary boost, or is it better to hold off? I'm going for the Let Me Solo Him achievement, and I probably won't go out and collect more sources of gear before I raid on the Thursday
I have seen some characters with 37 / 34 Protection talents.. how is this possible?
?
spec tree should only have 34 points at lvl 90
Sounds like raiderio being buggy yeah
When i look on raider.io and then clicked "open in talent calculator" I get this page..
Shows 37/34...?
Graphical bug, that build is only using 1/4 apex in reality
