Just important to know it doesnāt work on bosses or CC immune mobs
Because itās a silence, not an interrupt
Coming from playing Guardian the amount of utility that feels impactful is just awesome
Guardian has a lot of tools but just doesn't feel as good
Bear is in a weird spot rn for sure
Well Bear always been bad at holding threat with specs that does insane AoE burst
You should write an article about that maybe
Let the people know
no make it harder and gatekeep gear reeeee
love pug pwarr who think they can pull the whole room and handle it, and then give everyone else the fault when we wipe lmao, Windrunners aint that hard man but dont fucking pull everything
how dare you see reason
the people complaining probably dont want others to achieve anything at all in m+ content so they can feel superior
classic
It doesnāt really change anything at pushing, just higher key lvl, and spread players is bad, but it is cool for goobers to do 10s yes
People think they are good and have such an ego, those are the ones wont pull way too much, dont kick and give everybody else the fault. Self reflection, nah overrated
this +9 WS key ended in less 4 minutes lmao
how tf do you wanna heal when the tank cant handle his pulls
šÆ
well people with low self esteem feel pressurized into pulling too much by people flaming them because they do
Any good recommendations for a platynator or plater profile ?
with yawn emotes etc
i couldn't care less because i am GroĆmummrich, Teacher of Strong
i even gave up my immortal for that title
it's so good
initially i thought it was only temporary like the one from bwd
I grabbed Luxthosās platynator profile during prepatch, had worked well for me
Why brown nameplates
Thanks I was using quazzis platy but been having issues with it including name plates not stacking
Ive always been a jundies fan for nameplate profiles
Man my luck this week is shit. All the homies who mythic with me are getting bis. Iām getting 17 gold and 33 silver
I use my own now but i think jundies is solid
Thanks Iāll check them both out
Iām learning to tank this season to make up for guild shortages and having a blast, BUT:
how does prot do the first pull in Algethar Academy? I am struggling to get everything cleanly without at least some of the little plants getting on somebody else (and I donāt think I can survive just mounting up and running in)
(this is for a big bloodlust pull)
I charge the closest pack and then leap to the furthest. When I land I spear a group (I know, spear isnāt the optimal choice..) and then charge the final.
And then I scream at the computer till I have aggro
Wait for the mosquitos to path to the right then go left first
At some point you canāt stay mount up yes, you need to be on foot / no backshots at all time
thanks!!
Honestly unless youāre confident in your dps, Iād split that pull. Itās much harder than it was in DF
Itās a hard dps check now
Iāll warn you, I just pull and pray. My healer hates me when Iām gathering, but I SW and then lock in
Iām so sure thereās a better way
Though I did luck out in the Skyreach I did last night. I got hands to replace 250s and a helm traded to me so I'll be ready to catalyze stuff.
Funny to be able to get KSM without even doing all the dungeons
What UpToWolves said is the better way
Madlad
To do algethar first pull
I'm not complaining tho
I got KSM without stepping foot in skyreach
The goal is Seat hands eventually
Was poggers
Windrunner for me
Pit
DK was a champ in Skyreach
I still have adventurer ring. Waiting for that nexus drop
hpal somehow died on the trash near the end
DK kept himself up and I kept the boomie and myself up
Through the laser bs
Im spamming triumvirate for so long i forget what are the other dungeons
GIMME THE GLOOOOOOVES
Seat and Nexus hell for us all
surely
20th still no gloves
Split the pull
Yo is there any rhyme or reason to the big circles on the final boss? I thought they form wherever you blast a symbol
AA for me as I want puzzlebox too
Yea I think beyond 7 Iāll have to. Itās dicey otherwise
Ah
I was assuming 10s
Unless ur dwarf you wonāt survive I think
Maybe Iām wrong
You assume Iām that good. I am but a lowly nub
Idk, but sometime it is tricky safe spots if someone fail the first
After you blast a shard they shuffle
They literally jump to new spots
And then the pools form where they shuffle?
Yes
That makes sense.
The pools form where un-silenced ones are yes
Damn.
Thatās where you need to shoot next
So if you do the fight correctly, you silence, 3 pools, silence, damage amp
I always started running to where we silenced one, but if they shuffle Iāll just have to keep eyes open.
If you miss silences, the first phase gets longer
I see. Ty
Basically just pick one after the spin lasers and sit
My least favorite part about that fight is the boss room itself
Itās on a weird angle I hate it
Agreed. Have to pull out of that little cove down a half step. My camera hates it
Whole dungeon is so open and then the last boss is in some shitass cramped ruin
only scary part of WCM at all is the poison debuff by witches
2 more
and then the bramble aura witch phase
trio was such a disaster shitshow boss every time for pug lol
its not as bad as it sounds :p
and then the reflect by lord waycrest
missing that hurt like a son of a bitch on over 15
didnt hit it on 20 you die lol
itās not I just got ksm before ever doing it
I still need to get my Caverns portal but I donāt like Caverns that much
im at 1795 rating ;( pugs bene spanking my ass
and do 10s day 1 they come out
(im healer)
cuz, with exception AD KR
i know all of those dungeons completely inside out
and enjoy them
but i got 3 hero track pieces today, so i cant complain :D
TD sucks, but its skill issue
AD sucks, KR owns
/roll is both a blessing and a bane lol
nono, its the axes boss on trios on tyranical
with pug
that moves into them
panics
we wipe
if its the first one its fine, cuz we just nuke it
ah nvm forgot i just did a +6 Seat lol, 2000 is so near xD
tbh all the bosses in KR are annoying
but eh
Being melee and constantly getting slime first boss
all of kings rest is bad
or getting tombed on second boss repeatedly
the more i think of it
makes me wanna headbutt a brick wall
there was the trash monster after third boss large troll model
if you didnt run out, it would fling you 100 ft up in air and you die
i remember thisw well cuz you could get inside the top shelf
but on a 10 or whatever, it was a 1 shot anyways and it was really annoying to pull
final boss is really simple
Think I'm gonna make my AA a 12 and do that
they would have to make the trap part of that random to make it modern
cuz you can just cheese it every single time even most brain dead pug
cuz there is like a 15 second delay
and its just you stand out of it, then go to where it cant spawn
it would be easy with retail wow stuff
I need a maisara caverns
Anyone got one for me
@tribal wharf surely you have a Caverns key
How much dps gain is the tier this 1st season? I tried to find this information but couldn't get any
About 7% on st
At least 7
Damn look at me
Zeroed in
Thatās what happens when you hang out with Jakey in Skyhold
You get locked the heck in
I feel like when I dropped violent outburst ( yeah I know I lose dmg ) and picked up Indomitable with Second wind giving up Honed reflexes, gives me more surv on 13 and above . Dunno if it just suits my playstyle more but that's my two cents
or maybe I play with unseasoned healers
You dont just lose damage dropping VO, you lose survivability too
As you generate less rage and lose the free IPs from VO
This is straight trolling
second wind is dog ass
Whatās the tier list on asses
Second wind is bad, and Indom is incredibly lackluster, especially compared to VO
Is dog ass worse than cat ass
Pawgchamp
If you donāt feel like you need it, you donāt need it.
If you feel like you need it, you probably still donāt need it tbh.
Since I'm woefully undergeared and pugging I am, but as soon as I have a bit more ilvl i'll be dropping it
with secondary stats at what sort of % do we get diminishing returns just I was simming myself for a trinket and it's simming Idol of the loa vet over heart of wind HC, so i was curious
Stat breakpoints and DRs arent something to keep tabs on, just go with what the Sims say
If idol sims better, run it
Okay thank you
Does anyone use Platynator?
haha
270 damn
Actually no
I actually low key love the new set
yeah I thought i'd be in the minority it's my smooth brain
lol I'm just trying to find a good profile for tanking that shows colors when I have threat and almost lose threat and clearly shows casts that can be kicked
I was joking with Billiam
I donāt mind the new set
A little too heavy but meh
I just use plater with MF plater profile
MF plater profile? link plz
Go wago and type MF in search bar
Why
Should be first thing
Thatās heckinā rude
the one i have was preinstalled since lord only knows
How are yall getting gear wtf
I will not be searching for such foul name calling
Iāve done like 40 keys and barely anything
and when i go into any keystone, anything that casts spell that i can kick it turns them teal before i pull it
then it turns it to standard stop lights aggro system for me
We run dungeons and open the chest and then beg people for gear they donāt need because we donāt get anything
red yellow green
so, i already know what the casters are so half the danger is gone
maybe its not green its just caution colors red yellow on alliess/dont have aggro
Ahh
Mine is blue and pink
Pink is no aggro
Cotton candy pink to be specific
Just cause it pops out really well
Ok so, im super confused. Does nillus gives mythic crest weekly or just on your first kill
I keep hearing yes kill him weekly for free crest and no
Maybe
ppl that are 270 are likely doing all 5 wow things
delves, heroic raids, 12 key x 8
pvp and like prey i guess
Lies cause i am that
what about, pvp prey
Again dude
Loot items and equip them
Thatās how ilvl goes up

get to work
press your buttons
what keys are you pushing ? I feel like it's a life saver for me atlesat
The first kill on ?? per character gives 30 uncapped hero and myth crests. Each weekly kill gives 5 capped hero and myth
Ok that's what I thought. I kept hearing 30 crest every week and I thought that didn't sound right
Nope, 5 weekly, and those are capped. The 30 is a one time uncapped bonus
Ok cool ty
You canāt equip the same item š¤
Itās probably a life saver for you because you got rid of VO and picked up second wind
No need for pushing itās just 10s, easy and efficient
hows your guys survivablility in higher keys like 9-13? at which gs
i feel like im missing or doing something giga wrong, even with cd's pulled, on 2-3 groups on pit of saron or xenas in a 9-11 key i get smashed, shieldblock up, ignore pain utilized, demorilze shout and my other cds all pulled
full facetanking, nothign in the back going down even with a really good healer
Do you have any logs
Without logs we can just give generic info
Like grave blades fuck
Pit has a health reduction debuff
If it isnāt cleansed youāre gonna die much quicker
The leaping guys stack it up
i got some mad L logs on raid, but for raids i dont have issues with staying alive
only for dungs i have issues
May I inquire as to what a mad L log is
Xenas is a lot of unblockable magic damage you just have to be particular about how you path if you have a weak healer
Are we flaming ppl?
Warriors are too wholesome to flame
Damn i wanted to get flamed just to feel warm again
We only zug
Zug we zug
guys do you use main stat epic gem or the one that gives crit based on other gems?
Oh boy
I havent had the pleasure to tank much of raid atm, just salahar, heās a joke
One main stat gem, rest haste/crit gems
get the SR addon working yet?
Would you say your play is pretty similar in dungeons as it is to raids, @loud rune
ty
Never said you had to
i dont think it is, in raids i look much more out on the mechs and leading part
while i focus more on aoe, taunts and not having any mob in my back in dungeon
i just started wow 2.5 months ago, never played it before, i try to follow up as much as possible with the guides but i feel like im not as tanky as i may could be and wonder if its playstyle or something im missing out on doing right
Well
when i look at this, my hp would be already when pulling at below 40% instantly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8J2FDj6_IY

Midnight Season 1 - All Dungeon Important Dispels
https://docs.goog...
Iām looking at your chimaera
Right at 9 minutes
17 IP casts
80 revenge casts
It kinda looks like you arenāt pressing your buttons enough in general and also you arenāt prioritizing buttons correctly
Iām on my phone so itās kinda weird navigating the logs as well as Iād like to
This is not the paladin discord. We wholesome here
Mobile logs 
Itās rough dude
I got banned from there twice š
Only once from here though
I love ut, i was just love baiting
Love how we all rally to the wholesome
oh yea that was the first run, second one was 23k dps but wasnt logged but yea
Fuck you buddy

yea i changed the last days my keys setup to fix that, used way 2 much revenge
Iāll kill you Iāll spin your block Iāll Swiss cheese your grandma
but would that impact my survivability?
Are you certain you're keeping it up
The problem is raid logs dont do much to help us diagnose an issue for M+ survivability
Using too much revenge can absolutely impact survivability, as inefficient rage use leads to rage capping, which leads to waste and stalling the rage machine
i got the cdmanager blasting me with tts SHIELD BLOCK on cd even, i think only way for me to check is after cooking dinner to play a m+ and record it and check the vod
Start logging your keys
kk will do that later
But itās hard for us to just go on āwell I do X and Yā without any real data is all
For example, you may have shield block up but still have a high percentage of unblocked hits due to positioning. But we canāt know that
yea ofc understandable
May be a talent issue, may just be a healer diff
talents i use the ones from icyveins
See again thatās great but not useful without logs to see how youāre utilizing them is my point haha
but i feel like i should maybe swap for the mythic one this one in
true that
yea ill log after dinner and come back

Perfect. Give me a ping and Iāll be happy to look, or some other nerds will look or something if Iām not around
It looks like some of your runs were logged but not posted publicly, as you have parses recorded for a few dungeons
Canāt be done
just one thing left, to understand shield block right if i stand like that infront of a group of 5 mobs, which part is covered by shield block exactly
They blocked literally every game api

Tried for 2 hours
180 degree cone in front of you
anyone else just really hate maisara caverns
I havenāt done it on m+ yet
nothing can beat the hate for saron
the bosses in saron are cool and fun
i enjoy seat of trium kinda the most ngl
and WRS
AA worst dungeon this season fight me
Hello! Just a quick question:
I have unlocked 4-set but one of the pieces is LFR and I still haven't had a catalyst charge drop. In the meantime, I was wondering : on ST, is is worth going back to 2-set if that allows me to equip an item that is 16 ilevel higher?
Unfortunate rng on the drop, sim yourself for the 2pc question
Then there you go
pit is not bad imo
pit is all 3 boses are on the dps
spread the rocks out correctly, dont get chased, freeze casters
I like pit tbh
Iām not a fan of AA
Or Seat
Most specifically this first pull of Seat
Last boss AA is pepesleep
its sleep till u put boss on puddle and it vaccums
I got into the group finder for a 9 Seat and labeled it relaxed and this doofus was trying to race through it
and u have to be awake to remember not to do that while dodging
ppl love thier +3 chest for whatever reason
Time efficiency.
Iāve been doing 8s in my budget tier gear and thereās been very little thatās felt scary
Except the amount of dps people do
Or donāt do
I gotta catch up to the pack
if i crafted shield and sword, should i open vault in prot or fury?
Are they mythic ilvl
And are you getting a mythic vault
If youāre playing at 3am est when I am a few days a week Iām in
If your vault isnāt going to have mythic gear then I would personally open it as arms so you donāt get scuffed with a bum trinket
Heroic weapons and shields are farmable
Thatās an opinion tho
so for this normal run is it worth rolling on shield and wepaons
or have loot to fury
i just dont wanna need on stuff that i wont use
if you dont need it just dont roll need on it
reason i ask if i can run the raid as fury and let someone else tank
since theres 3 tanks
and i dont mind learning fury
Are druids bad at healing us in M+? There are times where I'm doing great and then I'll just fall over and I'm pretty geared. I'm keeping ignore pain maxxed and shield block up as often as possible. I pop wall on big pulls and demo shout but I feel like towards the end of packs I get clapped
I have REACHED THE HASTE THRESHOLD
i might run fury the raid and let this other tank that would need stuff more than me tank. ty though
druids are good healers tbh
at least imo
i think they considered the meta healer right now
sure then run fury bb
bb =|| bye bye|| or ||baby~~||
I'm trying to figure out why I get my shit pushed in on normal packs in 10+ keys
Prob some mechanic you are ignoring, like a bleed
what ur haste and r u running HR or ITF
other than that, you aint gonna be in any danger
Need more details which dungeon, lvl key and packs
my haste is 30%
rating
10 keys = just snore, you will be fine as long you know what adds bleed you
i mean it as baby~~ always
logs
we need logs
yeah ive never use bb for bye bye tbh
The frost knights do a tank cleave, that increases frost dam taken, mitigate that - you will be fine
or we cant tell you what you're doing wrong
That first pack has a aoe blast that needs to be kicked group issues only thing that hurts everyone. Plague hits on you on top of that reduces your health
log your keys
thx, gl hf, bb all
I dunno the way you describe it sounds like u may have shield block gap or something
gg tyty cy'all
baby, no, baby~~
but you do have a lot of haste it seems
baby~~ allllll
Hell yeah, that is the way, bb!
see ya
Anyone that uses bb as ||baby~~|| are weird, just based on saying ||baby ||in the first place
Gotta be some weird NA thing
yah it prob started in na
i mean typically calling someone "baby" is a pet name or term of endearment, whereas "bb" is more of an ironic/satirical thing
Whatever you say, love u bb
Meh, I will just keep calling ppl snĆøsokk
You are one
is this some sort of esoteric foreign insult im too dense american to understand
Pash is wholesome and helpful. if pash wanna call me a lamp ill be ok

never forgive
not very groovy
Plus I play shadow priest now
now last question and im assuming as prot, do we open that delve cache in prot spec
the 5 delve runs for that box
cool, ty
Icy veins and wow head recommend completely different enchants, what should i go off?
We recommend IV
Ok
so, in sky reach
2nd boss room
you have to go collect them all
cuz there seems to always be stragglers if just throw
i hate that dungeon alot
The room with the three packs total? Youāre talking about beam boss?
told them explicitly this monster does this spell we have to kick it
still went off
killed only 1
then stairs pull after boss got us too
seems like you can pull 2nd boss with the 2 trash monsters in back up
so i've done that twice, now i know for sure it always happens
I am confused. To me 2nd boss room means the room that has 3 packs in it. And once you clear them all the boss activates.
end result
unless boss is meant to start like that? pretty sure its a solo boss fight
Oh yea man, thatās odd. I have not seen that happen personally. I kinda slow play that room. Grab the first pack in front by themselves, then move on to the back two.
Like this
im just annoyed that it pulls 2 and not 3, if its acting the way im thinking it does
There is nobody still standing when the boss activates.
And yes, I share your sentiment. Skyreach sucks. It feels like a free key until you get to +12 and up and then it pulls the rug out from under you.
tre are some pulls in there that will delete you if you re not careful
pulls with bloodtalons in it
some birds that do fiery claws
bosses are ultra free
for tanks
That was my experience for my first +12. I was way too cocky rolling in there. Those fiery claw guys humbled me very quickly.
Trash is the worst, bosses are the nap times.
I like skyreach
Wellā¦
lol
Not I. But my curiosity is now piqued.
It's me, why?


whats the haste % for ItF vs HP?
good enough š thanks
skyreach sucks
but randomly dc until i close the window and relaunch
is crazuy
happens often randomly, game gameplays
but i cant cast anything every monster is frozen
and then im wasting like 30 seconds minimum
thats gunna kill it for me
Skyreach hates you obviously.
not when im on a fucking timer man
And it knows your weakness now. Every key you go into from here on will instantly port you to Skyreach instead.
Loving the easy vault keys this season, feels like the first time in forever I dont feel that first week fomo rush to climb the pugs & secure the dreaded one hour wipefest key
Ill never forget week 1 grim batol with that final boss prenerf
Took an hour & a half, I had to PAY gold to get in as a tank because my rating was doodoo lolol
Paying to tank a key 
Itās hard to imagine a world in which that was a thing.

this ring grind in nexus is something else
I feel like prot is the one of the weakest right now out of the Tanks we do just avg damage and avg survival/ heals anyone else feel like that
no
So what classes do you think is weaker?
Prot is very solid. We donāt do as much aoe damage as like a ppal but we also arenāt made of glass and sugar
Prot has never been about good heals either
You thrive on upfront mitigation
Yeah prot just doesnāt take damage idk lol
Prot is a tank where if you play it well you feel like a brick wall, but the second you let off the gas and let things fall off youāre boned
And the damage it puts out is very respectable
Can i ask why we don't take battle scared and indomintable for M+? seems in these early days of keys the surviability would be helpful?
Indom is very low value, genuinely not a very high defensive gain. BSV is a flex point, you can drop Tough as Nails to grab it
Itās very much if you needed it itās nice, if you didnāt it was a waste of a point
For context i'm just pickign up warrior (245 ish) and having some survability problems (reports fro mhealers) I'm sure 85% is my play, but just making sure everything else
Indom isnāt going to fix survivability issues
Your survivability problems are like 99.99% not because of not having Indom/BSV. You're probably playing incorrectly.
You take damage faster than you spend increments of 15 rage typically
This
If you can provide logs we can give feedback on your play
Yeah for sure, i'l do some keys when i get home and i'll see what i'm doing wrong. I'm 100% sure its mostly me, but i'm just trying to find any thing else i can do while i work on my play. That only comes with time, and that i get. But at 245ish dieing in 6's seems like its a me problem
appreciate your health
healp
omg.. Help.
i swear at this rate im going to re-roll dragon race
Do it drac is goated
so i can be the lust person
Me when I made a pandaren warrior in MoP wondering why I couldn't roll
But drac knockback cancel is kinda clutch sometimes
we had alot of dumb mistakes key i just ran
some that were completely out of my control like DC
and im not paying for nord VPN
Also highkey the racial knockback drac gets is so nice for first room of spire
Is last stand also in that area of "its cool if its needed but if you needed you probalby played wrong" bucket?
Correct
It encourages you to use SW incorrectly
Shield wall should be a proactive defensive, not used as a reactive heal
One thing with prot is that there are a lot of very high value talents and the tree is very tight, so not a ton of flexibility in builds
was a decent pug, died by a mistake not by pull this time, changed a few talents
but i could feel, im getting hectic a lot of time instead of playing my rota clean as i should
Might have been posted and answered before, but which 2 rings (if you even should go for the set) is best? Seat or Nexus?
Iāll take a look in a few :)
take your time, ty
I'm so ready
Very much so
More or less neutral in ST but a huge boost to AoE
Shadow is going to crank hard in keys
sounds like the inverse of what they did to ret
which is welcome
5% back to link is nice, but juicing apparitions damage is very welcome
The SW:D changes probably arenāt enough to change our builds, but are enough to make it worth pressing in execute
perfect spriest is coolest when apparations are crankin
Agreed
Itās also so satisfying to hit a tentacle slam in a big pack followed by a shadow word madness and just watch a trillion ghosts float forward
3rd shoulders
And the void twisted ones from the apex talents have like void form tentacles on them too
i hate this game
Looks sick
the only loot this game gives me is shoulders
dw, i only run xenas to get the rings, so far i got my first ring after 30+ runs
GIVE ME NOTR SHOULDERS
GOD DAMNIT
i dont need any more shoulders
i got 3 pair
if it was a head or pants or hands or something hero i could blast a catalyst on it at least lmao
I have some more shoulders for you buddy
i pretend to be angry about it
but not really
covers some of the repair cost i suppose
only need to keep 1 of them, should have given me some leech shoulder
then i can cata it,
Hellow, how (the f***) do you tank Maisara Cavern (8+) ? tyty
What u mean?
I try to tank Maisara +9, adds burn me instantly even with all CD UP
Couldnt tell wothout logs, but seems like u might not be playing correctly
From Beginning to Boss 1, every monsters are blasting me
They do hit hard, but they are only white hits, so having sb and ip up is more than enough for a 9
its hard to say with out a log, but if you are blocking attacks and kicking spells should be fine
there is alot that gets lost in conversation like this that we think happened
can i post logs here ?
God even yogi finding the problems
Yer u are wasting a tone of rage
Your block maangment is basd
my rage management is now good
And your general casts are low
but my block management is bad
Few things to note:
-Not running Violent Outburst and Whirling Blade are two big hits to your rage economy, which means your survivability. Ironically dropping either of these for indom makes indom much less valuable
-Not running Javelineer is a mistake. A ranged silence is huge for a tank to have
-77.32% Shield Block Uptime, and only blocking 78% of melees
-~1,800 wasted rage over the course of the key
-Only 12 casts of Demo Shout? That is a very important button to hit both for survivability and damage
-Casts of Shield Charge, Shield Wall, Spell Reflect, all seem quite low.
-In general your casts per minute are lower than average. You are sitting at ~40 CPM, wheras similar runs and logs are closer to ~65
and i assume my cast are low
Cant manage rage on monk
The tldr is press more buttons
Like literally u jist arent press buttons
Ironically most of what I said to Mou applies to Eroise here too
And the fix is to pretty much press buttons
Prot is high APM. Hit your buttons. We have an off gcd-spender, meaning you can hit it in tandem or between other buttons
Wait that was to lou i actual thought that was feedback to eroise
I mean its not high anymore
It was
I mean its lower than it was but its still relatively high compared to some specs
not great rage management, but better than before
Yogi thats still not good management
Yeah i was looking at Mou's 9 Xenas
Well yes
i been out of it for like a year or more, gotta retrain to block 100%
So more :
- Spending Rage into IP
- SB used in better situation or more often ?
Sb if our main mitigation is should be up all of the time
Ip is our rage dumb u use it to spend rage even if its at 100
U are not spending your rage at all
You want as close to 100% uptime and blocked hits as physically possible
On shield block
my problem is same as always, i go to attack a monster, and i turn,m and i get hit in ass
Stop showing off your ass to the monsters then
The rule of thumb is that if you are close to capping rage (70+ rage), dump some into an IP.
i've always had problem with this type of thing lol
i actually have changed for that run vio and whirl to battle scarred veteran and indomitable to see if i would feel more tanky and i did, how much am i losing/missing out on playing it without the 3 spells mentioned
figured that with the low casts, when you say wasted rage, you mean like unused or overused rage?
ty
cuz in past most games i played were first person perspective
or they were single player games
so it never mattered if i did the thing or not
Wasted rage means rage that was generated while you were close to or at rage cap, essentially vanishing into the ether because you had too much. Thatās 1800 rage you couldāve spent on defensives or damage that simply vanished
Protection revolves around strong rage managment. Spending rage fuels Anger Managment for CDR on Shield Wall and Avatar, which in turn allows for more casts of our big defensive and big offensive, which feeds into more rage generated
Ravager/Whirling Blade generates 10 rage every time it deals damage. Over a dungeon it generates a lot of rage, which feeds the machine
VO makes it so the affected SS will not only do more damage, but generate 50% more rage and give you a free IP
Taking BSV is fine, but the point we reccomend dropping for it is Tough as Nails, since that is just a pure dps node
vo is likely 100% of my wasted rage on SS
i just send when it comes to ss
or, i want to
ok
And as for indom, almost half of your indom healing was overhealing
after doing AA on a 12
Which means it was completely wasted
okay i will try ty
why did they make the changes they did to the trash leading to and the last boss
garbage lmao
Because they hate us
DROP THE LIGHT RING ALREADY
when you play protection warrior well, you will feel invincible
i cant do it perfct
Yogi always feels like Superman
MANIFESTING IT FOR YOU BRO
drop the void ring for me, 30 runs to get the light today finally at least...
Light ring overrated void ring has good stats for shadow
I have void ring I want the set
@loud rune You picking up what im putting down though?
the set bonus for the ring was about 500 dps
alright, ill take all your feedback into account and try to focus more on my rage bar to not waste it, perform my heal only when needed and try to even focus more on shieldblock uptime
and i think they nerfed it like 350 dps now
if this dungeon drops shoulders again computer is going in dumpster
Keep these things in mind going forward and try to practice them
-Rage is everything to Prot. Make sure you have a rage bar that is easy to see at any given moment. If it ever gets close to being full, spend that rage on IP
-Make sure mobs never, EVER get behind you
-Use your full kit. Demo Shout, Shield Wall, Spell Reflect, these are tools at your disposal. Dont be afraid to use them. You may mess up and send a defensive when its not needed, or not have a defensive when you need one, but thats part of learning to tank!
pretty sure dudes in my guild ran a 15
yeah but I haven't done it outside a 0 yet
where stuff does nothing
send it
lmfao
xD
honestly, my biggest issue with using the things like shout wall spellreflect is that i feel like my fingers are too low iq to press it quickly and accordingly, until 2 days ago i had my actionbar set so that my cds are all clickable and not bound to keys
Fair, thats a skillset you'll have to learn though to really master Prot. We are a proactive tank, not a reactive tank. Its about knowing what kind of damage is coming soon and preparing accordingly
Full group any tank for +12 POS?
This isnt really a LFG channel
Where is the lfg channel?
i dont think there is any
Skyhold doesnt do that iirc
ok np
we are tanks, we come wherever we please to
Best of luck finding a tank for your Pit
Oh uh no I was just trying to give you a nice send off haha
Since we arent really what you're looking for
yeah gonna need luck, been 30 min :S
@daring marlin few upgrades left to farm, (I have void already just didnt re export simc)
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9hg4cjH7vnHdZEG14B22R2
nah im in nexus prison until ring equip
yuge
I'll get 4pc on tuesday w/e
raid didn't give me shit I'm never going there again
guys what embellishment are we running for mainhand?
oh hey i actually need to add arcanoweave wrists or cloak to my sim
forgot i dropped my 2nd embh on ring
xD
Hunt, probably
ty
ya so looks like you need 7s foir 2000
i got everything on ti me on 6 and 1964 io
did 1 7
Skip 7,8,9ās. Go straight to 10ās for that juicy mythic vault. 
Question: I feel like my ignore pain drops off super fast then it feels difficult to get it back up
this is yogi we are talking about
you do not know
i assume
me tanking 10 will be pain and suffering for all
I no hear pain and suffering. Only zug and zug.
i fear not getting the mount
Ignore pain gets eaten through very fast, yes. We don't aim for IP uptime though
BROTHER IT WORKED OMG
you're welcome dude
love wins
Should I ever use Rend and Whirlwind? I apply rend with thunderclap, so I assume that's not useful to cast on its own, but what about whirlwind for AoE?
No need to cast rend since thunderclap is one of your two main abilities in rotation
Yeah, I just did another dungeon and really focused on SB, and opnly spending rage on IP when I was capped. was way snoother
ty
14 more pts
Figured, what about whirlwind?
No, you don't need to press Whirlwind either; take it off your bar
only wipe to some mysterious the add wiped on boss 2
#removewhirlwind
make it revenge for prot
same with other useless for prot spells
I think they made Revenge replace Slam this expansion already
Okay excellent, this frees up 2 keybinds
technically speaking you almost never cast hamstring
exceedingly rare situations
but it can have its use for being a high slow amount at a long duration
Is it useful for that new dungeon with the 4 things that run towards tank?
about how much haste is ok to drop heavy repercusions for into the fray ?
you have peircing howl and thunderclap just to name a few movement slows
I don't know if i seen someone running this or raider io was bugged but i ran it and ur basically unkillable am i grieving or
i use this personally but there is some small changes you can make
BSV take it or dont
overwhelming rage
aite ima stop cooking xD
playing protection warrior optimally means you take ~ more or less, zero dmg
by blocking attacks reflecting spells and having your IP and healer shield effect, keep you at 100% whole time
hp goes down, you are playing wrong, i know this seems weird
Is there some trick to Doragosa now? I remember her being free in DF
you cannot leave her on puddle that exists
must be in clear spot for vaccum
then, its more important to avoid the balls
healer shield?
oh
monk green bubble
aite thx mate
knowing which spells can be reflected and are important to reflect feels impossible
I've never even had to think about that

Theres no way to track that in game anymore, but there are external resources you can check to get an idea
maxroll.gg has one
But remember that SR is also a flat magic DR
So you can use it to just help mitigate magic damage
For all warrior specs, its a great tool people dont use enough
about how much haste is ok to drop heavy repercusions for into the fray ?
In theory, would macro IP in like slam and clap be a bad idea?
In higher keys keeping most rage is spent on IP anyway I feel like
close to 1200 is like 11something
The spell reflect guide told me you can reflect the ambush from the wyrms in aa (you cannot)

1188
A very bad idea. Donāt do that
pog
i could retire right now
for what its worth
the final clean up adds the ones the cast holy something
that cranks
he just spams the hell out of the spell and nukes everyone
beware
Iām proud of you yogi
i should do a 10
You should
what is boss 2 pos hard wipe
clone explode something?
no idea
he just exploded my entire group but we timed
Anyone got any tips for surviving a bit better, im 255 ilvl just did a 8+ AA and the first packs are eating me alive, had a evoker healer
Or just any tips in general, new to tanking and im getting yelled at
Yeah i get that lol but the packs are just demolishing me before tree boss
you can cut the pulls in half if you dont want to commit lust
Always cast, use shield block and Ignore pain, and Shield Wall when needed it, not much to say
its good to communicate with team about your intentions of when you expect lust and other things
They leave a DoT, so you need to rotate your CDs and establish threat. Once you are out, you stun and leap away, till you are ready to go back in
Kiting is a key skill many ignore
Maybe you are not pressing that fast
shield wall is put it on CD for anything remotely scary
Really tho, I should use more Shield Wall, I rarely use it, even in 10s
With lower gear, you will need to play safer. Stagger step reduces a lot of melee dam taken, combine it with more frequent CC usage and you will feel less threatened
if you are running 6 and under where it shows the routes, you dont have to press shield wall ever
maybe once the entire dungeon
I have never seen it, how does that route show tool work?
Has anyone done a three tank dragons?
it just shows the route by highlighting all the mobs
No, but I heard ppl do it on paladins
Fancy, nice that ppl get that early on. Prob helps keys a lot
looks like this
getting hit in the back there
because of course the moment i chose from it is that lol
try it on alt
makes shit really easy to understand
encourages practicing large pulls, as the monsters are weakened in some form
I dont do anything under a 10 tho, pointless content when I need weekly vault fill and got limited time

I would do it, if you played with me
It is great for the ones it is intended for
100%
Got my stamp of approval
Now they just need to let us use that system to mark mobs and make our own routes
Would make tanking so much a less of a headache
my MBL doesnt clear the work makers properly
so i only use it for the icons now, probably disable that part of it
marking bar lives
I just wish it was easier to see % for routes without MDT
like I missed a pack, what would suffice
2 click marking/ world marking
its great
dunno why
but i dont think we can move this thing
still
seems to be the only thing in the ui nailed down
rivited in place
Get OPie ring addon, then you can make marking a 1 button experience
Both for world makers and target markers
that option they have for the world markers is great, but its huge and clunky,, marking bar lives is simple and sleek
i feel like my stats are top shit right now
any 3k pumpers wanna pump? (rdruid here)
80
What is 2500 and 3k now anyways
hero and legend
10s and 15s
I hit 2000 just now with 3 7s 1 chest and 5 2 chest of 6 key
for pure ST if we have a burst of power proc and 2 thunder blasts, what do we press?
(during avatar)
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/ba7My6Bz9DZJNQ4R
ok yes is a 2 but what can i do better
I'm thinking about going back just because.
hey guys, I've a sword crafted 285, and I've another 5/6 sword that ask me for 20 hero crest to upgrade to 6/6. If i do that upgrade I'll have free shield slot upgrades?
over 10% of all rage gained wasted
67% blocked hits is really low
What to do
stop wasting rage?
you pressed revenge almost 10 times per minute
revenge is a terrible spell
you only press it when blizz forces you to
you need to cast way fewer revenges
way more IP
way more TC and way more shield slam
ok
i was panicking a bit too lol
@chrome falcon besides that anything else messed up or just improve on rage
probably
but start by remembering that TC and SS are both way better than revenge
you should never ever press revenge if either TC or SS are up
in any situation
sorry bud not the same without the Raticate pfp
can't take you seriously
man that was a WHILE ago now
me neither this class is so fucking boring now there's nothing to talk about
Loving the prot warrior
His survivability is insane: timing +11 with 252 ilvl
Broken

Its nice, coudn't do it with my paladin
Colossus has any advantage over thane?
anyone knows of any youtuber that runs high keys on prot warr?
Any of you guys have a go to youtuber or something to watch them do high end keys to ape their routes? xD (Ideally one who does routes that don't require extreme tech, pug friendly ones)
That's a pretty niche ask. I can't imagine there's much availability of people doing high keys but not using high key routes (which by definition are going to be as extreme tech as required by the key).
awoo does good bear stuff

Best option is to go to raider.io and check whos streaming in the bracket you are curious about
Check multiple ppl and classes, you might learn something new
does Seat of Triumvirate hit super hard for anyone else or just me
I basically line up defensive uptime 24/7 for every pull
shield wall into demoralizing shout into shield wall and it still feels like mobs hit like a truck
its a rough dungeon imo
Yea I just timed a seat 10 at ilvl254 you have to be on top of it our youāll get stomped pretty easily .
