Haste mastery gud if you switch to fury some
i only tank so thats fine
prio haste til you can switch to ITF comfortably, then just sim
I watched that vid, maybe he prefers mastery for raid since he mainly raid tanks. It also lacking haste is a big negative
maybe it was a big crit ring, which is kind of a big loss of haste
hes speaking about this item
Yeah that item is not good
crit vers item is like giga ass for warrior lol
Ya i mean itd sit in my bags over any haste ring
youd use it if you had to
oh yeah, missing that much haste on a high secondary budget item like a ring does kinda suck
but you really wouldnt wnat to
Warrior is kind of nice because u can legit switch between all 3 specs as long as you have some spear pieces for each spec
ahh i see, that makes sense yeah
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
Itd be crest save in my bags

Sadge
I got lucky myself so maybe im better than dratnos
is vers below mastery for prot now?
i did 3 hero craft crests so i'm "behind"
as if that even matters
eventually will get myth craft
Vers and mastery hold the same value, and that value is sim
metzen wishes they named it simcraft because warcraft is too intimidating
better than versa craft
i am failing to see where tf do i get another 2 points to play my apex talents , any ideas
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
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
final apex is a flat 5% dr to everything basically
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
sure it is but what do u drop
i just gave you some options and you said no lol
Hello, does anyone know actual retail block formula? I just changed 237 shield to 263 and difference is massive
Always thought that block ilvl differ damage ny not SO much
violent outburst is strong, big part of our rage cycling feedback loop
- free IPs for additional survival
no way giving up armor specialization for fight through the flames i'd never do that
nah he wants to swap the talents toward the top
and shield spec i would never drop either of course
oh i thought it was just circling fttf
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
for me i lose 12 str swapping to fttf I guess not huge loss
about 37.5% of the 32 str gem
Magic defensive idk, I’m warrior I hope it works lol
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?
u never prio anything over shield slam
Revenge is insanely low on our list of things to press right?
Yea but
It does more dmg
Why is it worse to press that
If I’m not struggling to survive
generating and spending rage is hugely powerful for everything about how the spec works
ss generates most of your rage
phalanx + its more damage to have more rage to spend because you are shield slamming more
(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
So it’s always ss on cooldown and fish for resets with thunderclap then
You always press Thunder Blast if it is up.
You always press Shield Slam if it's to proc Thunder Blast.
You always press Thunder Clap if it's up and Shield Slam is on CD to proc Shield Slam.
You press Revenge if you have the rage and none of the above buttons to press to fish for Shield Slam resets
yep that's basically it
Thanks gang
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
genuinely forgot the hero talent interactions too
the prio hasn't changed, we just got so many thunder blast procs that there was rarely a spare gcd for revenge
they still came up though, truly removing revenge was a step too far lol
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?
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
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
with that macro you rarely press SS on its own? just throught spamming the macro button?
crazy ilvl u have there
no, you still have a separate SS bind
no its in place of ignore pain not in place of SS
And what is the SS macro?
Getting backshots maybe?
I will try to pay more attention, but i try to keep IP and SB up and use SW during those pulls and it seems i always have trouble sustaining through it
I saw a monk tanking and barelly having its hp moving a +16 and im starting to doubt myself
Healthpot, hearthstone, stuns, the fear talent, rallying cry
But remember we aren’t monks
That’s just monk
I think i have to use intimidating shout more often
i still have vanilla brain of fear = bad
boys
might be ur shield is lower ilvl?
John tank
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
u playing more defensive-ish talents?
its the 3/6 heroic (663?)
663??
but it depends on the pull, logs or a video would help
goddamn
just craft a myth crest shield yolo
u should be swimming
It's very important to prepare for a big pull before you start gathering. I always use Shield Wall just after I start gathering to protect myself. Then once I'm almost done gathering and all the mobs are in range I use Demo shout. Then I turn around and plant and blow Avatar and immediately start going to town with the Thunder Blasts. That will get you set up very well
263 we know what he means if he had 668 he would've soloed all xpac
:D

yeah, i hate number prunning and have no wow in this pc lol

this man tanks
He does big pulls
I tank
John mythic plus
I pull large
ive been somewhat afraid to do big pulls on some dungeons cuz randoms just die to air
ngl I am just gonna say it
im at a point im avoiding some of the common pulls and doing a 2 pull in 3 pulls just to be safe
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
Maybe your healer is afk
The timers are very free at vault level
i mainly play with randos, so i try to optimize my part lol
not a single piece of veteran gear now
Some of the big pulls are just bait. You don't need to do the whole Algethar first pull in one shot especially in a pug
You can go pack by pack and time it
ye ik but i wanna do big pulls to do big numbers xd
which i do in most keys
im having trouble with nexus first room (the three pack pull)
Fewer now in midnight where we're pressing revenge more now? I tanked all 18s in TWW without pressing revenge once because of so many procs (ok maybe like 2-3 presses for the whole dungeon)
I regret not being a dwarf bc of Aa first pull
and the troll instace first pull (till the first caster)
when i make the grp and make ppl that look like humans and not ai
if you didn't have revenge on your bars for those 2-3 presses, you would've BRICKED
im 262 now
Nexus first room just shreds me
the ethereals with the healing absorb are quite dangerous
That is a rough one too but doable, don't forget spell reflect. Pretty much have to have rolling defensives for that one
those mobs hurt
Man is having a conversation with himself
oh so you're meeting yogi

And ppl hitting stuff b4 you group everything is also annoying on this room
Doesnt only apply to this room tho
wait does that pull include 2 lothraxion shades?
Pugs are the neuron activation meme
I wish hunters binded misdirect more
cuz oof that sounds rough
Ye nothing you can do about dumb DPS unfortunately
yeah
im not doing it, because ive died way too many times, but it seems like it is the pug route
With lust u should be fine
you must be new here
I am yea
my wife plays rogue and back when we did m+ together she would unbind tricks just to troll me
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
i made her a tricks macro to make it brainless and she locked eyes with me and dragged it off her bar
yea
i dont entirely hate col today
i thought you were a col enjoyer
I'm kind of tilted about the MT nerfs but if Demolish makes Col better than MT currently is it could make gameplay more interesting
holy crap they really created an achiev with this name

Well they can do acm names for sure
You remember
I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome i am?
that was a great one as well
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 went with boring boots
I just made a ring
cdoes anyone know if this counts as an embelishment? it doesnt say anywhere on the item
ah ye it does
If it adds an extra effect it’s an embellish
yea ik but theres always weird things
Blizzard tooltips moment I guess
wondered since it seems like such a nonupgrade ;d
Classic bug
Too many bugs
Please fix warrior bug
Fixing
Bug.fix<execute>;if(no_damage);then(more_damage);
There
Think we got it
@round pendant Did I do a good code
no
at this point we are free to spend all heroc crests, right?
ah ok

aw hell i forgot about that and sent crests into this 1/6 hero neck from the pvp quests
time to reroll
I mean it isnt a big deal really, i spent hero crests on my vet ring
We outgrow hero in a few weeks
yeah time to fuckin die or smthn

I can’t wait to tank keys for cam

For beloren am i missing something? After the intermission, the tank soaks hit very hard with shield wall and sr, and the boss seems to be getting bugf stacks as it kills us during splits soak
And SB always up
Strim
quick question which missive you use for shield?
haste + choice (critical goes good but whatever really)
ty
Strim what
The keys you tank for Cam
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?
I sent it. time to crit on these hoes
what the best reagents for a prot back piece
is this prot paladin (outside of wings) levels of low damage? cause prot paladin fuckin hurts
any recommendations for picking up the adds on phoenix boss?
have been worried about using taunt with swap and no dks in raid
can anyone explain to me how the bleed mobs work in skyreach
like is there a way to not get the bleed
Kiting helps
it has a very short duration
so you can aoe stun or just move away until stacks reset
Because of the stuin on the monsters near those
i would be careful about trying to combine that pull
yep
seems a good idea to join this group
they def need shout
There is healing buff in aa?
Gold gives haste and i want to say gren is versa
And my pont us a always assume or assumed, 4 secondaries, 4 nocs, each has own secondary stat buff
Unless the is 5and does work way I said
cranker team right there
just get engi brezes
Green is healing taken.
Stats
Should play warrior if I’m dogshit at spell reflect?
it is better Berserker's rage or Acuity of the Ren'dorei, i've seen people using both?
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
is anyone lagging like crazy in Belo'ren?
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 #
1180
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
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?
I wasn’t even mad near the end. I just watched the elemental closely
They do
is it really easy to cap relic coffer shards or something now?
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.
with rares and treasures it's very easy, no idea about other sources
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
?
i could transform a regular item into tier right off the bat
without having anything before
U need to have got 4 set
Yer u get 1 every 2 weeks
And 1 from 2k score
But u shouldnt send them until u have 1 piece of tier
Because then u can guarentee that u will get 4 set
ah
and then they start dropping at raid bosses?
Raid bosses m+ probably delves and prey to
ah k
World boss i guess maybe
ravager is useless...
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
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
MUSELESS
Are we set on what our best embellishments are? Methods website says either devouring banding or darkmoon sigil void, but I want to be certain before I switch over to void from banding
Where the mega threat on the mountain thane nerf to prot we are just going to let this crap slide??
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
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
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
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 
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
They are just helping to move other tanks closer to BDK
It is all good game balancing 
No it ain't have you seen a monk?
Do we somewhere have survivability stats? Like which tank actually takes what percentage of the dmg?
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?
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.
that is a bug
if you have a 285 weapon crafted the vault weapon should take 20 crests to upgrade it to 289
it require 80 for me
you don't have a 285 shield
no
that is why
so it work for both slots
you need both slots
ok
yep
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
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
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
That's my feeling too but i don't have numbers to back it up
im just going off scrolling combat text numbers, not looked at logs coz i literally never press execute
So unnecessary
still waiting on blizzard to announce it is april fools joke and that they are sorry for not telling us earlier. to compensate they are changing it to "Storm Surge causes Avatar to increase the damage of Thunder Clap by 100% (was 50%) and reduce its cooldown by 100% (was 50%)."
how cool would 20 sec of spamming only CLAPPA be
increasing damage by 25%, increasing purifying brew to remove 100% of stagger
Please post on the forum on the ptr and the warrior class fourm there's very little traction most people are talking about how it's a minor change but this is completely heavy handed nerf
Yes as we've known since beta u dont take any of the talents or really press it at all
Hey Guys, whats the haste breaking point for ITF in m+?
1180
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
haha
popping shield wall when gathering mobs can work, ur bound to get backshots esp if u gather from multiple angles
im currently running +15s and am struggling with cd management. I'm spamming Ignore Pain but always seem to run low on rage
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
so the 100% uptime mitigation is just Shield Block then?
and dumping rage into IP to prevent overcapping rage? thats the deal?
yes ur active mitigation is shield block, ignore pain is just a bonus basically
In Seat though, kiting will get you killed because of those champions charging you
You def don’t wanna be getting charged
I'll be honest I haven't seen very many tanks survive a big 1st pull in seat with all 4 of the 1st mob packs pulling 2 then chain pulling the other 2 after HP gets low is working for me on 10+ while I farm for the gloves
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
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
heyo, is gnome still a good warrior race?
and does it make a difference if you have Avatar running
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
Any advice on this? 😇
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
hmm, thanks! I'm not fully convinced but it is at least an explanation 😄
Hello, im new to prot warrior and was wondering if theres any good content creators out there making guides?
My queen 🧎♂️
Dwarf racial drops bleeds and poison
Welcome.
Unfortunately i do not think there is a dedicated Prot Warrior content creator.
Most who create video content are generic tanks.
If you want to check out some gameplay to see if you can pick something up, i'd advise https://www.youtube.com/@SenseNurfed
so does Dark Iron Dwarf
thank you 🙂 I appreciate that
M-mommy
wow bruh, wth is this shit. I want this fire hawk mount and I get a piece of shit in lava
out of date april fools joke or what
Sense the 🐐
Funky gonna throw a fit
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.
+10 with 245 is wild already, how much was the healer stressing to keep you alive :p
Did you accidentally equip non plate items
Did you pay someone to pilot your lower ilvl character
they did change a few things in algethars academy with this weeks reset tho, but mostly nerfs to the endboss afaik
The second one was just jokes of course
No and No
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
The opposite I play soooo fucking safe now
Basically non stop panic mode
Even in AoE?
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
If it's the bleed packs, that could be why, gotta kite em
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
War prot privilege I guess
ive seen couple of pwarrs getting shredded in seconds in +9s 
But it’s not even that low ilvl for a 10
thats why i was curious
#delete backshots
It's not a bleed, it's this thing here
It really was a non issue, did it twice.
Then this week 25 item level higher I died 5 times in the dungeon, it goes so fast that 50% of the time I do not even know what happened.
ay no backshots here
Yes I can see the death recap, I got melee hit...
If a random melee was 2-3x higher than regular ones you showed your butt
Logs would be more precise tho
If someone bumped the adds when you died, you died because they got bumped behind you
When I see that my shield block will fade and I have nothing left, I just leap far away and wait
am i just wrong or is there no good video game movies
i tried to think about it just now for like 3 minutes
I thought the Mario movie that came out a bit ago was solid
imagine showing your butt to random mobs
New one looks good too
and i cant think of a single god damn one good game turned into a movie
i thought it was like, alright, but super mid
to where i skipped it
i skip alot of them but damn does it seem like no good VG movies
Resident Evil 1 was very praised at the time
Idk series count ?
You’re a millennial
Bc I liked last of us and fallout shows
they had the wrong voice actor for it, in my opinion, cuz mario shouldnt really be talking all that much anyways
Every wow player is at least millennial
never does in the games
heh
The sonic movies are a fun time, fully lean into it
Warcraft movie was cool
jackblack was probably good as bowser
chris pratt
they had that guy doing mario voice
i dunno like, doesnt mario have a super specific voice as it is
I didn’t watch iron lung
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
People expected a LOTR, but warcraft movie was alright
Really not wild
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
hoooo boy

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
But adapting vudeo games to films never really works lets be honest
watch something like the ghost busters 1/2
and something like has so much aura its insane
Nah come on u boomer in boomer body
Do you always pop demo shout and shield wall at the same time or are there scenarios where you would offset them?
You throw demo about basically on CD
And shield wall when you need a big defensive
Thanks
It is very specific situations / very high keys, where you hold demo shout for def use
So just on cd until then yep
Thank you
Nah not really with tl, its up like all the time
Jakey
If ppl are holding it for longer than like 30s thrn thats wrong cause u would have had it back
I don’t see a character for you on NA yet :(
Like priory first boss or first boss of dawnbreaker
Rhino literally my bane 
How????
Always asking me about na
Mates wanna play with their mates
St for sure but trash nah
no, 2 tottally different things
very specific situations yup
one gives rage you can spend and has to hit things and then you deal more dmg to thme
the other is long form high dr, longer cd DR only
Like ive seen top ios hold onto demo for longer than it woukd have been back a lot of times
For no reason, but i need it at x moment, yes u would still have it for x moment the cdr on it is crazy
Same with wall too i suppose
I throw puzzlebox on CD
i am very shit at this game, and most games, but what i do about SW is, well, you have 2 charges of it right
Yogi cooking
send the first one immediately on pull, and then keep the other one till you need it or send it when it would refresh

I guess it is kinda hard to guess the final cd when you have mapped out tankbuster/def of a dungeon bosses, I’m not tanking that high keys personnaly
changing your plan is not better than sticking with original one type shit
Yer but u should know the average ish cdr espeically as in high keys its mega pull on mega pull mostly its gunna be lowest cdr it can be
Im talking more specifically for st bosses like priory, mega pull, demo shout cd is kinda more set
Like you wouldn’t move your demoshout 1 tankbuster before planned use just bc it got back up earlier ?
hi, what is the point of matrix catalyst for waist and boots?
Better stats
Stats
It’s a relatively minor optimization though and you should always sim before making a decision to catalyze an off piece
the boots turn into pretty good stats overall
thats why
almost everything turns into haste for us
i mean, i just crafted boots personally myself
Hey @jagged pier how many stacks are you reaching before you step away in skyreach with the fire talon autos or whatever
Or do you just stay backpedaling
Is it possible to make an on release macro for heroic leap? like as long as I hold the button it won't go off? So I have the option of aiming it with the indicator but also instant cast?
No
The best you could probably do is like, a shift mod on a macro with one heroic leap being normal and the other being @cursor
Is the alchemist trinket any good? Anyone tested it?
I don’t even know the last time an alch stone was worth using lol
wait so theyre nerfing thane and not nerfing brewmaster? xd what
I wouldnt look to hard into the PTR notes
they are obviously not done
we can outrage once the patch release date is at least announced
A reasonable take? How dare you. I wanted to yell at my Brew tank friend about this

I saw gameplay of brewmaster doing +15 and oh man
I feel bad for healers having to heal me now
Brew is the M+ tank right now
but theres always 1 tank that shines above the rest; its nothing new
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
there were even seasons where the balance gap was even bigger
its week 2
things tend to ebb and flow in terms of balance
especially early in expansions
But my general advice is if you dont care about pushing IO for title, play what you want. But if you do care, conform to the meta.
casually got my BiS trinket in that Quel Danas chest lol
int trinket
gross

Not bis gonna get replaced
casters have been gooning over that trinket in my raid
im resto druid i need this
nope, this will stay till I get the hero or maybe even myth version of this. Next trinket i need STILL is that stupid heart of wind
So it’ll get replaced
so many pugs ive ran with in Windrunners... sigh
Literally not bis
for BiS, people generally just consider the trinket on any track
Nope
that trinket comes off Paladins? which is quite a ways into the raid
No Alleria
so its literally only replaced by higher level tracks of it
oh, even better
I consider the champ track BiS since its literally always slot until a heroic/mythic version
which is huge for the doo doo
yea, as I said I will replace it if I get the Hero or Myth version of it, literally couldnt believe my eyes if I would even get it lol

Nah I mean
This is such a pet peeve of mine
Bis literally means it’s the best in slot
That is not
Yes Rhino it will get replaced by the higher version of it
happy now 
im still running blue boots bruh, no fucking boots drop for me lmao
I guess to each their own; to me it feels like a semantic thing
wherrs that copy paste about no enchant
put some damn enchants on!
Listen you dense blob. I know your ilvl is top, but you have no enchants, no gems, half of the items are with versatillity... That's a bit unprofessional mate. Same old as all of the warlocks... ie, ignorance thinking it is educated
close enough
not on champ gear, and have you seen how expensive they are
oh cmon no way it actually is a copy pasta now lmao
Mountain thane still better than colossus right?
yes, but you wont notice a massive difference if you decide to try col
right now, I would play Thane>Col
try it out
but Col is viable if you prefer it
one thing to keep in my mind as Col, a lot more damage is tied to revenge then clap
youll also have to get used to not having reduced CDR on clap in Avatar
Ahahaha
thats me irl
I only do dungeons up to crest cap/vault cap
I had good luck this tier I have no complaints
Yeah I’m back to work now so I’ll just be doing 8 a week + raid
Maybe a little casual io push if I have free time on weekends
Would like to get a few more keys at a 15 so I have them all
I dont have premium raidbots so i have to sim dungeons one by one :(
I just use my friends
wow ok, nice brag dude
Maybe his friend likes beeing used
He gave it to me willingly

How many triumvirate
Honestly not many I don’t even know the count
I was spoon fed rings and gloves for sure
Only item I had to farm was neck
i just run dungeons cuz they fun and if i get loot i go "yippee!" 
I was spared farming a neck because the best hero neck outside of raid for me comes from the pvp quest
Big mast small haste, literally only one outside of raid
you can do the fake npc pvp
you didn't grab the pvp neck ?
Just roll the bots 8 times, takes like an hour or two depending on the quality of the other nerds you're with
You got it already?
We all got record speed demotions 
yeah its avail this week
it is this week, you can do it all the quests in training grounds
Nah you can get it this week, and if you're behind they just let you keep going
I just did 8 training grounds back to back, easy shit
i miss 1 item 
Wait did they remove the “convert to simc string” button off of quick sim…
Bruh
Wth!?
I swear this being able to get flux charges is the greatest addition in midnight
Youre the greatest addition to midnight
Gottem
at the bottom

Yeah but I just loaded from armory
You used to be able to go to quick sim and run it and then make a top gear import
Does anyone know the Addons used by the tanks from the RWF? I know its a very vague question, but my RL was telling me about it that has timers for taunts etc that one of the tanks is using, I just cant work out yet which tank, from which guild 😛 Trying to watch all 3 PoVs but I think it may be the warrior tank from Liquid
Appreciate any help and guidance 😄
They have addon guys that work for them
They made their own weakaura replacement
And afaik none of them are available rn
Ah ok that would make sense
I don’t raid. It’s still crafting the sword first over shield?
Usually it’s the other way around. Just want to make sure
Id do shield personally in that situation
If you don't raid, I would craft shield first
Ok that’s what I thought
But you can do both already so it’s just a diff of some dungeons between
you have that if you use northern sky
I'm yellow again
Tytyty
Nice to see you yellow again Leland.
Last boss of Algethar - Can some big peepee tank pls tell me the correct way to tank that dragon?
They took it away for April Fools; they're just a day late. 👀
ohhh
You the man thanks!
is it posible to have SB up 100% time?
yes either talent Heavy Repurcussions or get enough haste to run Into the Fray.. haste rating generally recommended is 1188
Thanks will take a look. Do you know of any good and functional imports for NST? 🙂
the CC nameplates for saladbar
and the rest idk, im not on those bosses yet
- we use nst/reminder as raid alert
worth
brew is a pvper now giga chad
time to get into the arena
get grinding loser
I do want to warrior PVP a bit
seems like fun
I think the main issues im running into is Paladins on HC, I get overwhelmed a little bit between taunt swaps and watching the Holy Power to move the Boss out 🙂 RL is just trying to see if there is a addon that might help a bit better with reminders
RIght now just using BigWigs and timeline 🙂
Thanks for the help though
Prot War eats Paladins on heroic
oh on hc idk what you could use, i thought it was mythic question
you can spell reflect both SoTR and Templars Verdict
example of how we use reminder
Youre kidding
the reflect on SoTR does damage to the boss
Man wtf :(
It just do be like that
Hey everyone, is asking a question here okay? I’m new 🙂
Shoot champ
im not on Paladins Mythic yet and my co-tank is also a brew; our plan is to just have me hold the Prot Paladin and we taunt swap off the ret
Jesus christ I didnt even think to use it.
when the HPal ults, we will have to do the taunt swap as normal since they cast their abilties before SR is back up
but its still stonks
I was just curious how prot warrior plays. I started in legion remix so I’m new to wow. I’m doing +14s as a brewmaster right now and want to add another tank to the roster.
You hit shield block and you make sure mobs dont get behind you. Win
Honestly I’m hoping my vault has jewelry next week and or I get loot prio on wrists from boss 1 next week, that would allow me to surpass hero crests
We are a more AoTC guild, currently 5/6 Voidspire, we are doing Normal March Sunday. I just struggled with getting over stimulated on Paladins and screwing up the taunt swaps and moving out.
Ill pass this info to my RL
Could get neck from saladbar tonight too
That also lets me finish hero track next week
heres a good view

I know its mythic, but you can see the timing for each taunt swap
this is when the general casts SoTR
Yeah I also noticed that the Paladins dont cast at exactly 100 power either, so me panicking and dragging it out before 4 seconds of the aura cast is a DPS loss too
Just got a cata charge from a bountiful delve, we livin our best lives
its also good to communicate with your co-tank in comms
Thanks, borrowing this for RL too hahha
Isn’t it crazy how none of the tanks are as tanky as bdk
Our tanks go to a diff vc for pallies
Prot War is the tankiest in raid right now
Yeah we ended up doing it for our first kill because we just kept talking over the RL
Maybe but no tank is as tanky as bdk
Our 2nd kill last night was in the normal raid channel, but the urge to talk was hard haha
also, check the pins
theres a spell reflect cheat sheet at the top
its worth browsing
Ive personally found rogue to be very tanky with feint
Rogue is so tanky
Spell Reflect is the warrior version of AMS
Rogue has cloak
Hey you know that dungeon
Thank you, checking it out now. Do you mind if I DM you a bit more about my tanking for some advice, or prefer just sticking it in channel here? 😛
Where you fight the yellow demon
No
can just throw in channel
there are some smart people here
Of course 😄
your question just really alligned with what me and my co-tank are planning for mythic
Yeah rhino you know it
I, rhino, dont know the yellow demon dungeon
The yellow demon where you die if a Ppal hits divine toll
Which is it
Oh
Ya
Thats not in rotation so i forgot about it already
Oh wait
Yes
Yes it is
Nexus
Lmao now I’m confused?
Yeah like nexus point xenomorph or smth
Well anyways
When you walk into the dungeon
And you turn left
Theres a bunch of like purple lasers and stuff
Magenta lasers
And people can have a circle put on them
What does that circle do
Idk
rhino what are you yapping about
Just read the messages dude I’m tryna learn about this circle debuff
It's a dot and slow
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/GPXw3DancWRdNAgt?fight=1&type=damage-done&source=4
I think I have some over capping issues and IP uptime, trying to get a bit more tanky. Just the main issue having on Paladins, having to 3 tank it, embarrassingly
I just need to get it better, whether I need an addon to help with visuals or just practise.
the damage circle from the seers? its a dispel and you need to not put it on barrels or they blow up
Barrel thing i didnt know
Or does it only hurt if you move?
People can dispel it off themselves with anything that removes snares
I think this yes
We have had zero luck figuring out what it does
you shouldnt worry about IP or overcapping it
you wanna press IP to dump rage in order to not cap on rage
Looks like you're doing find tbf, you didnt waste any rage on the lightblind kill which is very good. That fight is hard on tanks, the swap is pretty tight. Be communicative with your cotank
and keep pressing generators
Like augusto said, IP uptime isnt something to keep track of. You have good shield block uptime and are doing good rage managment. Probably just getting clapped by busters and maybe getting hit by bad, no?
also, just looking at your heroic Paladins log, you are holding demo shout
just send that on CD
4 casts over 5 minutes is abysmal
So I had big issues with IP and overcapping last reset, I tried to keep it a bit better this time. RL sat with me and just compared logs and identified too much rage over capping and not enough IP dumping. I reckon I did massively better this time
On skyreach 2nd boss - should you be eating his yellow line or is that for others? I was eating his yellow line and then he also was winding up to punch me so I either had to dodge the punch or stop eating the line.. I chose to get punched and then died
You did very well on that front yeah
obviously reflect on SoTR/templars verdit will greatly reduce your damage intake
Yeah i think i was panicking too much about taunt swaps, the rest went out the window
Lean on Shield Wall and Demo Shout more
Yeah planning to, deffo needs more communication but also dont want to have my ADHD spill over and waffle over the RL
Also you're not running shield spec so you're losing free DR
1000% I need to improve on that, thank you
I dont eat a line because i get the frontal
I get out of the way of everyone else
in terms of talents, there are som adjustments id make
Oh fuck me I forgot to swap from it from doing it on Normal 😛
you have plenty of haste to run ITF
and, if you are worried about dying, I'd just spec into Battle Scarred Vet
Oh really? I thought it needed to be 1100?
until you get more confort
That makes senser
I wanted to review the top logs and thier talewnts per boss
Eh?
Log does say 1625 haste for some reason
Ill log on and screenshot
if not, its fine
maybe it factors with flask and other buffs
Oh thats a good point
you also need to make sure you SB uptime is good
87% blocked hits with Heavy Rep is not great
I'd just stick with HR tbh
Yeah i think its when i was running the Boss out
Great time to get murdered by whiteswings
Yeah not ideal, I need to strafe run better
Yep. Otherwise you're taking unmitigated boss melees and that is ruff
Ok so keep with HR over ITF for now, IP is ok, and ill be honest, I dont know how to view overcapping on rage, my RL was streaming it to me haha
In the logs go to Resources and change Hit Points to Rage
And then just dont panic, and use spell reflect on Prot Pala. I tank that one and just taunt swap Ret Pala
Oh nice 0 wasted
