so that's what matters šŸ˜‚

undone beacon
#

Just important to know it doesn’t work on bosses or CC immune mobs

#

Because it’s 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

The amount of nerfs it took was crazy

I know it was crazy but god damn

I heard it cant hold threat

Well Bear always been bad at holding threat with specs that does insane AoE burst

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

fringe mural
#

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

sharp gale
#

It doesn’t really change anything at pushing, just higher key lvl, and spread players is bad, but it is cool for goobers to do 10s yes

drowsy comet
#

this +9 WS key ended in less 4 minutes lmao

#

how tf do you wanna heal when the tank cant handle his pulls

Any good recommendations for a platynator or plater profile ?

Why brown nameplates

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. I’m getting 17 gold and 33 silver

I use my own now but i think jundies is solid

lean frigate
#

Thanks I’ll check them both out

calm plaza
#

I’m 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 don’t think I can survive just mounting up and running in)

#

(this is for a big bloodlust pull)

outer willow
#

And then I scream at the computer till I have aggro

lean frigate
#

Wait for the mosquitos to path to the right then go left first

sharp gale
#

At some point you can’t stay mount up yes, you need to be on foot / no backshots at all time

undone beacon
#

It’s a hard dps check now

outer willow
# calm plaza thanks!!

I’ll warn you, I just pull and pray. My healer hates me when I’m gathering, but I SW and then lock in

#

I’m so sure there’s a better way

daring marlin
#

Funny to be able to get KSM without even doing all the dungeons

sharp gale
#

What UpToWolves said is the better way

To do algethar first pull

#

They literally jump to new spots

outer willow
#

And then the pools form where they shuffle?

sharp gale
#

Yes

outer willow
#

That makes sense.

undone beacon
#

The pools form where un-silenced ones are yes

outer willow
#

Damn.

sharp gale
#

That’s where you need to shoot next

undone beacon
#

So if you do the fight correctly, you silence, 3 pools, silence, damage amp

outer willow
#

I always started running to where we silenced one, but if they shuffle I’ll just have to keep eyes open.

undone beacon
#

If you miss silences, the first phase gets longer

outer willow
#

I see. Ty

sharp gale
#

Basically just pick one after the spin lasers and sit

undone beacon
#

My least favorite part about that fight is the boss room itself

#

It’s on a weird angle I hate it

outer willow
#

Agreed. Have to pull out of that little cove down a half step. My camera hates it

daring marlin
#

Too cramped

#

reminds me of WCM last boss room

undone beacon
#

Whole dungeon is so open and then the last boss is in some shitass cramped ruin

tribal wharf
#

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

we wipe

#

if its the first one its fine, cuz we just nuke it

drowsy comet
#

ah nvm forgot i just did a +6 Seat lol, 2000 is so near xD

daring marlin
#

tbh all the bosses in KR are annoying

#

but eh

#

Being melee and constantly getting slime first boss

tribal wharf
#

all of kings rest is bad

daring marlin
#

or getting tombed on second boss repeatedly

tribal wharf
#

the more i think of it

daring marlin
#

makes me wanna headbutt a brick wall

tribal wharf
#

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

daring marlin
#

Think I'm gonna make my AA a 12 and do that

tribal wharf
#

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

That’s what happens when you hang out with Jakey in Skyhold

#

You get locked the heck in

rocky crest
#

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

undone beacon
#

You dont just lose damage dropping VO, you lose survivability too

#

As you generate less rage and lose the free IPs from VO

daring marlin
#

3k is only a mix of 13s and 12s

#

neat

#

second wind is dog ass

solid sun
#

What’s the tier list on asses

undone beacon
#

Second wind is bad, and Indom is incredibly lackluster, especially compared to VO

I just use plater with MF plater profile

#

How are yall getting gear wtf

solid sun
#

I will not be searching for such foul name calling

lament osprey
#

I’ve done like 40 keys and barely anything

tribal wharf
#

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

solid sun
#

We run dungeons and open the chest and then beg people for gear they don’t need because we don’t get anything

tribal wharf
#

red yellow green

lament osprey
#

Mine is yellow, grey, green

#

Kickable, unkickable, some else

tribal wharf
#

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

lament osprey
#

Ahh

#

Mine is blue and pink

#

Pink is no aggro

Cotton candy pink to be specific

Just cause it pops out really well

what about, pvp prey

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

Pit has a health reduction debuff

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

but would that impact my survivability?

solid sun

Yes

#

Incorrect rage management is crippling for pwar

loud rune
#

even if my shield block is permanently up?

#

or lets say 95%+

undone beacon
#

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

loud rune
undone beacon
#

Start logging your keys

loud rune
#

which addon would i use for that?

#

or is that the same as for raids on warcraftlogs

undone beacon
#

Same as raid logging

#

Just make sure to have logs running when you start the key

loud rune
#

kk will do that later

undone beacon
#

But it’s hard for us to just go on ā€œwell 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 can’t know that

loud rune
#

yea ofc understandable

undone beacon
#

May be a talent issue, may just be a healer diff

loud rune
#

talents i use the ones from icyveins

undone beacon
#

See again that’s great but not useful without logs to see how you’re utilizing them is my point haha

loud rune
#

but i feel like i should maybe swap for the mythic one this one in

loud rune
#

yea ill log after dinner and come back

undone beacon
#

Perfect. Give me a ping and I’ll be happy to look, or some other nerds will look or something if I’m not around

It looks like some of your runs were logged but not posted publicly, as you have parses recorded for a few dungeons

night heron
#

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?

undone beacon
night heron
#

Yep

#

According to sims it's a 1,6% damage loss to drop 4 set

undone beacon
#

Then there you go

night heron
#

I guess a lot of our damage comes from thunder blast even in ST

*thunder clap

pit is not bad imo

spread the rocks out correctly, dont get chased, freeze casters

I’m not a fan of AA

I’ll do some keys with you roid

I’ll carry

frosty mango
#

My dps is heavily suspect lol

#

I did a fury key and was like 85-90k overall

ebon geyser
#

if i crafted shield and sword, should i open vault in prot or fury?

frosty mango
#

And are you getting a mythic vault

ebon geyser
#

no no mythic stuff yet

frosty mango
ebon geyser
#

im doing a normal

#

run

frosty mango
# ebon geyser sword and shield 259

If your vault isn’t going to have mythic gear then I would personally open it as arms so you don’t get scuffed with a bum trinket

#

Heroic weapons and shields are farmable

#

That’s an opinion tho

ebon geyser
#

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

undone beacon
#

if you dont need it just dont roll need on it

ebon geyser
#

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

cold pilot

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

you have to go collect them all

i hate that dungeon alot

ornate palm
tribal wharf
#

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

ornate palm
#

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.

tribal wharf
#

end result

#

unless boss is meant to start like that? pretty sure its a solo boss fight

ornate palm
#

Oh yea man, that’s 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

tribal wharf
#

im just annoyed that it pulls 2 and not 3, if its acting the way im thinking it does

ornate palm
#

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.

torn gulch

tre are some pulls in there that will delete you if you re not careful

no

So what classes do you think is weaker?

undone beacon

Prot is very solid. We don’t do as much aoe damage as like a ppal but we also aren’t made of glass and sugar

#

Prot has never been about good heals either

You thrive on upfront mitigation

Yeah prot just doesn’t 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 you’re boned

And the damage it puts out is very respectable

undone beacon
#

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 my block management is bad

undone beacon
# loud rune https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/cr7F4LfVXpNzCt9B?fight=last

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

tribal wharf
#

and i assume my cast are low

jagged pier
#

The tldr is press more buttons

#

Like literally u jist arent press buttons

undone beacon

Ironically most of what I said to Mou applies to Eroise here too

ty

tribal wharf
#

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

undone beacon
#

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

tribal wharf
#

vo is likely 100% of my wasted rage on SS

i just send when it comes to ss

# loud rune alright, ill take all your feedback into account and try to focus more on my rag...

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!

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
