ahh ok, thanks, maybe he misspoke or something then idk, just wanted to make sure 🙂

fringe mural
#

Haste mastery gud if you switch to fury some

brittle bluff
#

i only tank so thats fine

mighty valley
#

prio haste til you can switch to ITF comfortably, then just sim

coarse bay
#

I watched that vid, maybe he prefers mastery for raid since he mainly raid tanks. It also lacking haste is a big negative

tribal wharf
mighty valley
#

maybe it was a big crit ring, which is kind of a big loss of haste

tribal wharf
#

hes speaking about this item

fringe mural
#

Yeah that item is not good

tribal wharf
#

crit vers item is like giga ass for warrior lol

coarse bay
#

Ya i mean itd sit in my bags over any haste ring

tribal wharf
#

youd use it if you had to

mighty valley
#

oh yeah, missing that much haste on a high secondary budget item like a ring does kinda suck

tribal wharf
#

but you really wouldnt wnat to

ashen shale
brittle bluff
#

ahh i see, that makes sense yeah

mighty valley
#

you'd still take it if it was a big ilvl increase and nothing else in the vault was good but

#

you're gonna replace that eventually

tribal wharf
#

still 220 crit with 50 speed

#

holy crap on a stick

coarse bay
#

Itd be crest save in my bags

#

Sadge

#

I got lucky myself so maybe im better than dratnos

sick shell
#

is vers below mastery for prot now?

tribal wharf
#

i did 3 hero craft crests so i'm "behind"

#

as if that even matters

#

eventually will get myth craft

coarse bay
tribal wharf
#

you need all equally

#

not equally, but

#

bigger number better

sick shell
#

metzen wishes they named it simcraft because warcraft is too intimidating

tribal wharf
#

better than versa craft

arctic finch
#

i am failing to see where tf do i get another 2 points to play my apex talents , any ideas

mighty valley
#

bsv and indom if you're doing comfy keys

#

bloodsurge and tough as nails if you wanna give up damage for survival

#

or mix and match

arctic finch
#

indom is so good tho 13% of your healing, even more on single target

#

and tough as nails does more dmg than 1 point in the apex

mighty valley
#

final apex is a flat 5% dr to everything basically

lament osprey
#

Last point is dealers choice

mighty valley
#

indom is decent now but % of your self-healing is a pretty meaningless stat, we're more of a mitigation tank than a sustain tank

arctic finch
mighty valley
#

i just gave you some options and you said no lol

mint wave
#

Hello, does anyone know actual retail block formula? I just changed 237 shield to 263 and difference is massive

arctic finch
#

why not drop violent outburst @mighty valley

#

instead of indom

mint wave
#

Always thought that block ilvl differ damage ny not SO much

mighty valley
#

violent outburst is strong, big part of our rage cycling feedback loop

#
  • free IPs for additional survival
toxic pewter
# lament osprey

no way giving up armor specialization for fight through the flames i'd never do that

mighty valley
#

you mean shield spec

#

but yes, still bonkers

toxic pewter
#

nah he wants to swap the talents toward the top

#

and shield spec i would never drop either of course

mighty valley
#

oh i thought it was just circling fttf

toxic pewter
#

oh maybe I misinterpreted it

#

if thats the case- my mistake

mighty valley
#

i've seen some tanks take fttf over armor on some specific raid fights

#

which could make sense if the phys damage is just a non issue, but

#

idk

toxic pewter
#

meh I dont want to lose any strength

#

but alas I suppose I would consider it

lament osprey
#

You have the option to take or not

#

Just preference imo

toxic pewter
#

for me i lose 12 str swapping to fttf I guess not huge loss

#

about 37.5% of the 32 str gem

lament osprey
#

Magic defensive idk, I’m warrior I hope it works lol

sullen latch
#

At what point does thunderclap and revenge trump shield slam in aoe? Just from reading the numbers it should be 2 enemies and up, but all guides say differently. What am I missing here?

karmic plinth
#

u never prio anything over shield slam

sinful copper
#

Revenge is insanely low on our list of things to press right?

sullen latch
#

Yea but

#

It does more dmg

#

Why is it worse to press that

#

If I’m not struggling to survive

mighty valley
#

generating and spending rage is hugely powerful for everything about how the spec works

#

ss generates most of your rage

karmic plinth
#

phalanx + its more damage to have more rage to spend because you are shield slamming more

mighty valley
#

(also these days a lot of your SS hits have a phalanx proc too)

#

on large packs that won't last very long you can drop ss to maximize short-term dps but... those packs don't come up much and aren't very important lol

sullen latch
#

So it’s always ss on cooldown and fish for resets with thunderclap then

forest lagoon
mighty valley
#

yep that's basically it

sullen latch
#

Thanks gang

sinful copper
#

Last season, u could get away with just removing revenge from your bars because everything was higher prio. Not sure if it's still the case

karmic plinth
#

genuinely forgot the hero talent interactions too

mighty valley
#

they still came up though, truly removing revenge was a step too far lol

sullen latch
#

I have another question: why is it good to macro ignore pain to shieldslam? What am I missing if I don’t do this thing?

mighty valley
#

it's not crucial, and it's macroing shield slam into ignore pain

#

subtly different lol

#

the idea is that it snipes some SS resets that your brain isn't quite fast enough to catch

#

your brain has locked into pressing tc or revenge, and as your finger is on its way, devastate resets SS, and you happen to press IP

#

ding, your IP macro catches the SS

#

but yeah, takes a little finesse and is a pretty small optimization

#

wouldn't worry about it

fast marsh
#

Im having some trouble doing the bigger pulls on M+ 12 and 13 with 668 ilvl. It seems im always on the backfoot during those pulls

stoic hound
pastel geyser
#

crazy ilvl u have there

mighty valley
#

no, you still have a separate SS bind

glacial lynx
#

no its in place of ignore pain not in place of SS

fast marsh
#

And what is the SS macro?

fast marsh
#

I saw a monk tanking and barelly having its hp moving a +16 and im starting to doubt myself

sullen latch
#

But remember we aren’t monks

fast marsh
#

I think i have to use intimidating shout more often

#

i still have vanilla brain of fear = bad

tribal wharf
#

boys

toxic pewter
#

I am more tanky than monk

#

I will outlast a monk

pastel geyser
#

might be ur shield is lower ilvl?

sullen latch
mighty valley
#

the answers in big pulls are usually some combination of backshots during gathering, mechanics going off/being missed, or letting your rotation fall off while your brain is overloaded

pastel geyser
#

u playing more defensive-ish talents?

fast marsh
pastel geyser
#

663??

mighty valley
#

but it depends on the pull, logs or a video would help

pastel geyser

goddamn

ive been somewhat afraid to do big pulls on some dungeons cuz randoms just die to air

im at a point im avoiding some of the common pulls and doing a 2 pull in 3 pulls just to be safe

tribal wharf

was in a random +10 nexus i joined and i was just pulling 2 packs at once and monk healer and dk were just dying too idk what

idk i just pull left the ethereals and lothry

#

then i pull right the voids and lothry when i go there

#

pulling 3 packs there seems overkil

It's probably better just to pull both packs on each side on your way to begin each wing

mighty valley

i made her a tricks macro to make it brainless and she locked eyes with me and dragged it off her bar

what u know about that

i wonder what im meant to spend my catalyst on now

nothing that turns into objectively better item

i guess other hero tier slots

I should craft my third item

but idk if i will grab boots or bracers

i went with boring boots

I just made a ring

pastel geyser
#

cdoes anyone know if this counts as an embelishment? it doesnt say anywhere on the item

#

ah ye it does

undone beacon

If it adds an extra effect it’s an embellish

pastel geyser
#

yea ik but theres always weird things

undone beacon

Also the item said “midnight recipes for most unembellished items” so

Ya goober

small question regarding tanking belo rem

#

the small add birds that drop in mid fight with oposite matching colors, are we meant to also pull and tank those?, i'm a bit confused as we are suposed to be facing the boss away from the raid in order to do the tank swap dance mechanic

when I killed him we had dk grip them in toward boss for cleave

Is Thane doing better DPS than Colossus or is Colossus still higher dps but less survivability?

Sorry if this was asked, but the upcoming patch changes, do we know how much that will actually affect in terms of thanes damage?

about to recraft this... would it be crazy to drop the vers and put haste/crit?

any recommendations for picking up the adds on phoenix boss?

have been worried about using taunt with swap and no dks in raid

toxic pewter
#

can anyone explain to me how the bleed mobs work in skyreach

#

like is there a way to not get the bleed

arctic hearth
#

Kiting helps

mighty valley
#

so you can aoe stun or just move away until stacks reset

tribal wharf
#

Because of the stuin on the monsters near those

#

i would be careful about trying to combine that pull

toxic pewter

There is healing buff in aa?

it is better Berserker's rage or Acuity of the Ren'dorei, i've seen people using both?

toxic pewter
#

I just went rendorei str is solid and I prefer my secondary stats to be more static if i can help it personally just like it that way

#

especially haste cuz rather just stay at the 1188 number and remain at that amount rather than random haste procs i cant really rely on

fluid widget
#

is anyone lagging like crazy in Belo'ren?

fallen hornet
#

i saw the other day someone saying we drop into the fray at a certain haste point. if we do what do i sawp to and what is that haste #

fluid widget
#

1180

solid sun
#

Well

#

If you mean we don’t use itf

#

We don’t drop itf at 1180

#

We start using it

#

Low haste means heavy repercussions

#

Which is the other talent it shares a node with

plush tendon
#

ITF gains giga value the more haste you have

#

since the bonus haste from it isnt affected by diminishing returns

#

Is there something going on with frost mage’s elemental? 4 dungeons, each one had a frost mage. Their elementals are just randomly gathering adds

I thought frost mages sack their ele?

they are supposed to in M+ I think

whirling blade vs ravager, ive been using whirling for this tier but used to run ravager because i liked picking where it went but whirling seemed to be nice at the beginning of midnight

#

I dont particularly like that i cant place it anymore but have to target it.

and those are all over the place

#

so do we get a max of 8 catalyst things or do we get unlimited and can only hold 8

#

I think it’s the latter actually but don’t quote me on that

#

when do you start getting those, with 80?

#

or once you turn 80 you start seeing them

#

so can you grab 2 tier sets if you level now

with 4 set

U cannot get them as drops

#

Your forgetting the rage gain, the fact if u have whirling blade u can also have 2 up so even more rage and that when its up it increases the damage of other things. Plus this whirling blade too its hasted so can give u even more rage cause u get more ticks

#

Not everything is about damage

#

Per cast

fringe mural
#

also 2% isnt useless

#

for 1 talent point

#

imo

pallid quiver
#

Is it still the case that whirling blade also gives more ravager over time as well? Which would bump up the damage reported by Ravager specifically in breakdowns. I haven't kept up with tuning due to not playing.

Also, if you're using manual ravager or are just pulling smaller in general, it'll likely show up lower on the chart than if you pull bigger, since it can hit multiple targets

Where the mega threat on the mountain thane nerf to prot we are just going to let this crap slide??

jagged pier
#

I mean its not a mega nerf

#

And if u dont like it go to the bliz forums thats the only place they will read feedback

fringe mural
#

isnt it like a longer cooldown on tb and that's basically it

#

and a minor dps decrease for tb

#

it's not cool, but it's not the end of the world either

#

it just doesnt really make sense to do it

jagged pier
#

I mean its less rage

#

Shorter avatars because we extend avatar with tb

#

I think its about a 3-5% decrease for no reason

#

Im more angry about the flow, like reduce the damage of tb and keeo the cdr the same

#

I'd be happier if its that

frosty mango
#

It doesn’t make sense because they nerfed the entire hero talent, prot and fury both

#

There’s no rationale behind the change

I just got back into wow and I see they changed mortal wound on prot sadge

midnight pivot
#

I've been on the forum and I have posted but this is not the right path for prot warrior at all we are far from the best tank being okay with a unnecessary nerf feels bad from a community standpoint less rage will always feel worse in the long run as you push higher content

#

Do we somewhere have survivability stats? Like which tank actually takes what percentage of the dmg?

shy stream
#

I can't decide between Dwarf and Dark Iron Dwarf. Everything online I can find says Dwarf, but I want to understand why not dark iron dwarf.
Their ability also removes bleeds etc but gives a ton of strength instead of 10% DR
They take less physical damage
Faster in dungeons

I dont think I care about the Dwarf frost resist or more Archaeological finds. Is their crit damage bonus and healing that good to justify taking 2 useless racial passives?

fringe mural
#

i think smoother dmg intake is a major issue because most healers just arent that quick

#

not really about the amount, more about the pace

#

i guess that's why healers love brew so much

#

dmg comes in smoothely because of staggering

#

even if it's more in the end

Guys, I already crafted 285 weapon and now I got mythic track weapoin in my vault. When I try to upgrade weapon from vault, it require mythic crests, full amount. That is bug or what? Before, If I had crafted mythic item, it didnt required crests until level it was.

torn gulch
#

that is a bug

#

if you have a 285 weapon crafted the vault weapon should take 20 crests to upgrade it to 289

young oasis
#

it require 80 for me

torn gulch
#

you don't have a 285 shield

young oasis
#

no

torn gulch
#

that is why

young oasis
#

so it work for both slots

torn gulch
#

you need both slots

young oasis
#

ok

torn gulch
#

at 285 as far as i know

#

i might be wrong

#

you had 276 weapon and shield before?

young oasis
#

yep

torn gulch
#

that's why it asks for 80 and not 100

#

what is your shield?

#

ilvl

#

276?

#

craft the shield

#

at 285

#

you have 6 sparks now available

#

unless you play dps specs as well

#

you can send 3 crafts and you have the myth cap for that as well

fringe mural
#

Oh so once you have myth track on one slot complete

#

You only pay gold

#

for every other item in that slot

#

that's actually a decent system

compact rune
#

is it just me or is execute so weak now? with the correct proc lineup my shield slam is critting for 150k+, but im pretty sure regardless of procs or anything, execute only seems to hit for about 18k. feels like pressing literally anything else including revenge is more worthwhile

Hey Guys, whats the haste breaking point for ITF in m+?

unique jetty
#

following all the rotation and prioritization tips there is no guidance on how to pop cds for big pulls like bl first pulls in AA or SEAT
how do you guys deal with the high amount of dmg coming in and do you pre-send your shield wall while gathering the mobs?
need assistance

pastel geyser
#

popping shield wall when gathering mobs can work, ur bound to get backshots esp if u gather from multiple angles

unique jetty
#

im currently running +15s and am struggling with cd management. I'm spamming Ignore Pain but always seem to run low on rage

solid sun
#

Yeah because we don’t spam IP to live

#

We hit IP when we are at 70 or more rage

#

As Roohni said, sending a wall while gathering is pretty common

#

Then you send a wall when you need it once you’re planted

unique jetty
#

so the 100% uptime mitigation is just Shield Block then?

#

and dumping rage into IP to prevent overcapping rage? thats the deal?

solid sun
#

Yep

#

On some of those pulls, like the AA one, you might have to do a little kiting

pastel geyser
#

yes ur active mitigation is shield block, ignore pain is just a bonus basically

solid sun
#

In Seat though, kiting will get you killed because of those champions charging you

#

You def don’t wanna be getting charged

midnight pivot
solid sun
#

Also the chain debuff in seat can be dispelled by berserker

#

You can wait for multiple to target you and then berserker it for a combo dispel

#

You have to be careful using shockwave in giga pulls

#

If you sync all their autos you’ll likely die

#

But you can backpedal to try to stagger when they reach melee with you to desync their autos

#

Don’t forget that spell reflect has a magic DR in pulls that feature magic damage

midnight pivot
#

Also when your kiting don't turn your back at all you knever know when you'll get a sneaky mob in there to play bongo on your butt and you take a ton of damage

unique jetty
#

true

#

what do you prioritize when both Shield Slam and Thunder Clap are ready?

radiant jay
#

heyo, is gnome still a good warrior race?

unique jetty
#

and does it make a difference if you have Avatar running

jagged pier
#

Shield slam

#

U always prio shield slam

#

Expect for gathering a pack ill allow tc but apart from that oncr gathered ss and only ss, and if u have phalanx u should prio ss to gather anyway

Shield slam generates the most rage to keep ignore pain up while juggling shield block thunderclap for aggro but it does hit hard during avatar

jagged pier
#

Because u use dwarf defnesively and it gives extra benefit to defence

#

If u are did u are wasting your racial to not use it with cds

#

So it looses all its value to being used as a defensive

Am I going insane?

I did my Skyreach +10 at ilvl 245, it was sort of a breeze, I did fairly large pulls.

Now at 270 ilvl even pulling a double pack in the same dungeon still at +10, and I constantly find myself basically getting deleted from the game by literally anything. Casts are not going through I just take sooo much damage, even with shieldwall up I can barely stay affloat.

Did you pay someone to pilot your lower ilvl character

How is colossus compared to thane?

Are you playing more carelessly about giving up back hits when gathering

Currently thane is a little ahead of colossus

In Mythic raids, I have 0 issues with damage

Well your best bet is to log a new run and let us see what’s up

Idk @ionic fern said thane was ahead of colossus rn. I just take the blanket statement as no caveats were offered

Even with a lot of defensives, if you let the bleed packs put a lot of stacks on you, it will be hard to live

Why is that wild?

ive seen couple of pwarrs getting shredded in seconds in +9s keks

i felt like the warcraft movie was very alright

but it was like, it felt like minimum effort required

cuz they re-used the same fucking animation for drain life some such warlock spell

like 4 fucking times

and its like, theres a billion other attacks and items and shit you can show

an then drain life 50 times scenes

Of course doom movie exsists

Bur tbf can say the same for warcraft kekW

sharp gale

Yeah but he said they all bad, so we gave examples of ones that are not stinky, like Warcraft was cool

I kinda agree with him tho, video game movies have the trend to be bad in general, minority are good

i have alot to say on that movie

#

much of it echoing what he says

I genuinely don’t know why it is so trash, how did they manage to do THAT bad

tbf I have the same bit with games from books I’ve read bc of Metro 2033

like

#

wow movie

#

was dog shit right

#

and this about like 5 times worse than that

and i feel like the cap for those movies was like, a miliion or a billion fucking times more

than the SHIT

we got

#

like the mario movie from 90s, okay, so some video game movies were fine and good like sonic

#

that was alright

I agree with yogi on this one, it werent good

It’s a relatively minor optimization though and you should always sim before making a decision to catalyze an off piece

the odd thing for us is we are the 100% the best raid tank

but blizz is capable of doing better balance, I remember seasons where in m+ the tank gaps werent that huge

heck, there is even a boss we can spell reflect

of course theres always the best

I am tankier then brewmaster

its week 2
