i dont focus on it, but rage and i have 80%+ uptime

warm plinth
#

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)

cerulean tusk
#

What if... magic/bleed dam? monkahmm

mighty valley
#

anyone want to make a joke out of this, cmon gang

lusty grotto
cerulean tusk
#

garms indeed we must spam IP, then IP some more, chargeweave IP

hallow sentinel
#

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

mighty valley
#

thankfully we also generate the most rage on pull

lusty grotto
#

you also generate a lot of rage in big pulls

mighty valley
#

so by playing by the same rules, you naturally put up a lot of IP anyway

lusty grotto
#

yep

cerulean tusk
#

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

#

yep you know the answer

lusty grotto
#

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

daring marlin
#

put that shit back on the gcd

cerulean tusk
#

Dont remind me of GCD push era

#

those were some dark times

daring marlin
#

or take WoG off gcd

#

some bullshit

warm plinth
#

RIP off-GCD demo

lusty grotto
cerulean tusk
#

Demolish off the GCD

#

sick

lusty grotto
#

that one does still hurt ghash

daring marlin
#

A GCD of no damage hell yeah dude

warm plinth
#

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

cerulean tusk
#

They should make execute off the GCD; so you get to chose - exe or IP

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?

I shall come back later if I’m doing something wrong. 😑

lusty grotto
buoyant sparrow
#

Just leveling my warrior now. Are we slower? Or is it just because I’m leveling as Prot / low haste?

warm plinth
#

We are slower, both because we have less haste (lower gear levels relatively), and because Anger Management's effect requires more rage now.

buoyant sparrow
#

Awe. I missed the crazy button pressing 🙁

lusty grotto
#

which is normal on an expansion release

#

youll need more haste rating to get back to what you had before

buoyant sparrow
#

Ah. So not as bad at 90

lusty grotto
#

make sure you swap to Heavy Repercussions to keep SB up

lusty grotto
#

so it can be worse at 90

buoyant sparrow
#

Ah ok

#

Thanks

lusty grotto
#

and maybe up until s2

gentle quest
#

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?

lusty grotto
#

theres no difference

#

there hasnt been one in like 6 expansions

#

damage is normalized

#

it turns into AP

gentle quest
#

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

My crusade in the druid discord was referring to apex talents as OATs instead of WG or WiGu or anything else

shield or wep first craft?

sour dragon
#

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.

undone beacon
#

No

#

Do not macro SB to anything

#

Also SB and Revenge are both spenders

lusty grotto
sour dragon
mighty valley
#

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

lusty grotto
#

you will burn a lot of rage in one button and being rage starved is bad bad bad

undone beacon
mighty valley
#

while we're here, IP is also not an uptime buff haha

lusty grotto
#

yeah managing rage is core to warrior, but especially important to prot due to AM (anger management) and VO (violent outburst)

sour dragon
#

I see, thanks

sour dragon
lusty grotto
#

no

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

warm plinth
#

HELLO YES I WAS SUMMONED?

lusty grotto
#

mayhaps

mighty valley
#

god trying to keep IP over 80% cap at all times would absolutely kill you

sour dragon
#

Wow, thank god we dont have to track it lmao. I was having a stroke checking my buffs

mighty valley
#

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

lusty grotto
#

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

tribal wharf
#

screw the dungeon, i can just go gathering instead

sour dragon
#

Also for apex phalanx, is it optimal in aoe to thunderclap first then shield slam?

But Astalor has been around for a while

lusty grotto

really

#

interesting

#

oh shit

#

i had forgotten all about him

undone beacon
#

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

lusty grotto

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

go back

lofty glen
#

are the prot buffs good?

lofty warren
#

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

lofty glen
#

yes but does this make us better than other tanks?

chrome falcon
#

ok i haven't been in here since launch

#

is anyone else finding this spec just miserably boring

pallid quiver
#

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)

jagged pier
chrome falcon
#

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

lament tinsel
#

Hello fellas'

#

Hope u all doin' great

chrome falcon
#

you can't even dump triple shield slam proc you have to weak TCs it's so bedge

lament tinsel
#

I started to learn prot war in midnight, it's been a great experience but i still have some issues

chrome falcon
#

the wowhead guide says that we play tough as nails over massacre for raid? holy fuck it's so over executebros

jagged pier
#

yep

lament tinsel
#

The main issue i got is about Shield block,

#

Is it possible to maintain it at 100% right now ?

jagged pier
#

but check icy veins wowhead not the best anymore

pallid quiver
#

Wowhead is also no longer written by Nome, and iirc is kinda a side project or something

jagged pier
#

yes

#

u use HR

chrome falcon
pallid quiver
#

Not shade on the writer, since from what I know Pumps is decent, but just isn't a dedicated PWar player

narrow jay
#

I didnt even know going 1/4 In apex was something we were doing lol

jagged pier
#

its not

chrome falcon
#

Pumps is very good but i've never seen him on anything other than druid or

pallid quiver
#

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

lament tinsel
pallid quiver
#

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

lament tinsel
#

Oh i get it

narrow jay
#

Makes your shield slam give more rage too

pallid quiver
#

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

lament tinsel
#

I guess since we don't have enough haste this early in the expansion it's better to do this

#

Ok ! Seems clear enough

pallid quiver
#

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

lament tinsel
#

ahaha

#

thanks a lot ^^

pallid quiver
#

if everything dies before you have a gap in SB uptime, it's no problem, ez

chrome falcon
#

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

jagged pier
#

well they nuked execute

#

and buffed other spells

chrome falcon
#

yeah that's what i mean

jagged pier
#

and made ToN completely overpowered

chrome falcon
#

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

jagged pier
#

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

chrome falcon
#

you can just -deep wounds +BSV from the recommended build right

jagged pier
#

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

chrome falcon
#

i guess it's just insane to me that tough as nails is more dps than massacre

#

in raid

#

like how is that real

jagged pier
#

because execute hits for nothing

chrome falcon
#

i know i just can't believe blizz lets it be that bad

dusky canopy
pallid quiver
# chrome falcon i know i just can't believe blizz lets it be that bad

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?

chrome falcon
# strong forum 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

just take a break

ez fix

solid sun
#

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

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

daring marlin
tribal wharf

all i want to do is log into the game and press buttons and do things immediately

so im stuck doing solo content

daring marlin
tribal wharf
#

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

solid sun
#

I’m not understanding this rant

#

Are you upset that you need to do certain things to boost your ilvl up?

tribal wharf
#

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

Oh I don’t really play prot in PvP but you can def queue prot and reach 1600

#

It’s def possible for sure

dusky canopy
#

Maybe fury is the play just brain off Zug gg go next

toxic pewter
#

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

chrome cipher
#

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

toxic pewter

Yah tanks took heavy nerf today

chrome cipher

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.

toxic pewter
#

Arms getting 15% buff today and it’s gonna be really good

chrome cipher
#

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

toxic pewter
#

Yeah fury seems stronger to me at least

#

So far

dusky canopy
#

Should have been 30% from the start

#

#

Yeah

#

I called for a 45% and people thought I was crazy

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

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?

mighty valley
#

first off, our stats are all relatively close together, so ilvl increases are almost always worth taking regardless of stat spread

lime shale
#

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

mighty valley
#

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

jagged pier
#

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

daring marlin
#

I miss BoM

lime shale
#

ohhh that makes a lot of sense then

daring marlin
narrow prawn
#

they nerfed gaze of the alnseer again

#

damn

lime shale
#

is tough as nails something i want for mythic +?

jagged pier
#

yes

mighty valley
#

good damage for one point

lime shale
#

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

jagged pier
#

id follow the icy veions builds

lime shale
jagged pier
#

but yer LS outside of very high keys has no place

#

and your other flex point is bloodsurge

pastel summit
toxic pewter
#

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

lime shale
#

could you show me how your talent trees look like? :3

toxic pewter
#

I just run icy veins colossus build cuz I think its more fun

lime shale
#

i kinda got the impression that colossal is not so good for m+?

#

cause of the lacking aoe stuff

jagged pier
#

its fine

#

technically its more damage

mighty valley
#

it's more annoying to gather with but the two are overall close

jagged pier
#

but dps have to hold their damage

toxic pewter
#

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

pastel summit
#

Not having juice on the pull don't feel great.

lime shale
#

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

jagged pier
#

thats not how it works

#

its tied to SW

#

u use it before damage

#

u dont use it as a heal

daring marlin
#

member bolster

jagged pier
#

u have a heal

#

IV

#

is 5% less of a heal than LS

toxic pewter
#

if you really, really want last stand I guess drop bloodsurge ?

jagged pier

and on a 25 second cd

So playing with that could lead to some scuffed habits.

lime shale
#

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?

jagged pier
#

well thats what impending victory is for

tepid sparrow
#

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

jagged pier
#

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%

jagged pier

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
