Use multihammers instead
you just use storm shield if you need to intervene people for movement or whatever reason
yeah but it depends on the airport atm
I literally walked straight through security in San Antonio, no waiting
ok good shit
okay so intervene is just movement
it could have utility but it depends on the encounter, its very minimal and probably not worth grabbing
it was a 5 min line for us at tucson
ive heard it went down for sure in a lot of places, but not all of em
Damn why they love to nerf thane again?
fury change that effects us

cause they have no clue what to do for worrir
and how everything effects each other
to be fair it was at 10am on a Thursday

But I was shocked at the fact there was literally zero line whatsoever
yeah for sure
Are we all America eastern time zone
i'm west

Central time best time

i like col but my healers dont
they shouldn't notice a difference between thane and colossus
and if they do that's not a thane vs colossus problem
Those are two strong trinkets, no such thing as bis though youll just have to sim whats stronger for you
my tank just realized he was sitting perma in battle stance on paladins :icant:
heart is kinda bait, and it sims lower now since a default miss metric was added, if you have access to gaze + plume I'd say those
They also finally added stances to CDM and you can make the wrong stance glow if you get cooldownmanagercentered
oh cool
but yeah im just putting that there for the guy that said their tank didnt know
oh wow didnt know about that
Yeah I was pretty excited for it. I liked the addon it’s great but kind of a pain to configure lol. I still use it tho bc I hate being in wrong stance.
Sim is telling me Acuity (+STR) is about 30% more than Berserkers (+haste) for main weapon enchant, should I ignore this and follow the guide or what?
New to tanking
I use str myself
Anyone know of some Heroic Leap Bugs? Guildie is having consistent problems with not being able to cast it. They do use a macro but as you can see if the VOD, it comes off CD right about the time they land. They rocket jump and the Macro button and the spell on their CDM goes dark.

I try to keep my secondary stats as static as possible personally
can you link sim?
dont sim hectic add cleave
I am only M+ tank
kk will change it thx
Question for those of you doing higher keys, I’ve noticed some dropping talents into phalanx (like the 4th, and 2/3rd points) are they really worth dropping for survivability from stuff like indom etc?
And I recently noticed tough as nails is suggested (thought it wasn’t a great talent before) but did they buff it for midnight or something? Is it really good damage, threat, or both?
mathwise it shoulnd't be the case
but i just got back from vacation so i cant confirm gameplaywise
in my experience on situations like this, the gain is very minimal and only needed if youre pushing past the current ilvl cap threshold
definitely strange.. it grays out after charge.. seems the macro may be incorrect would recommend just removing the macro or redoing it
Oh and noticed people also using heavy repercussions. I’m guessing we’re not reaching 100% block uptime with joining the fray at these haste levels? Idk what the breakpoint is but i’m barely at like 900 unbuffed I believe.
its 1188
Oh yeah I’ve been fucking my healers whoops
yeah play HR before you reach it
thats also not 30%
I thought the macro might the issue but the spell on the CDM goes dark as well which would indicate an issue witht he base spell
No wonder I’ve occasionally just procced battle scarred when I seemed fine lol
is my recommendation
30% more dmg yes 999 vs 1600
definitely strange, I have not experienced this.. hmmm
youre doing math wrong here
@lusty grotto come pick me up it’s a 2 hr metro ride 
i'm comapring the enchants only, a vs b
So if I wanted to grab indom for keys would the best choice to drop be enduring alcarity or blood surge/whirling blade?
youll have fun 😄
so is the sim
I’ve seen others drop punish and best served cold for points elsewhere but I feel like losing punish really guts your boss damage
But overall dam is all that matters bro what’s prio/st that’s fake news
like this one is +1461 vs +2357
click the base one
click berserker
you gain 0.6% dps using acuity over berserker, thats the point
ok thx
either way go berserker rage
the difference is very minimal
and haste is good
maybe next season when we have more haste, we can swap it up (or when you get more haste this season)
I CANT lie, every tim i see new affix gril spawn in
has puprle puddle
void zone
i run out
Nah. I’m an ethical gamer and want keys to go as smoothly as possible and not be a burden for others lol
it attacks ppl ol
Wrong answer bud
someone said around 1.1-1.2k haste is when u go from HR to ItF. how do u know ur safe to swap to ItF?
You will be a meta slace who only listens to streamers or else
1188
haste rating
tyty
lol I play warrior i’m already losing. 😂
how do you know? the answer is that if you still have gaps at that point, you should stick to HR
got it
its around the threshhold we do every expansion release (aside from things modifying SB uptime like TWW S2, where SC had CDR)
Yah as a longtime brew main I’m having to deal with fotm morons for the first time in peak and it sucks lmao
Actual fuckin room temp iq motherfuckers
lmaooo
now that you say that, i just realized that peak hasnt had a season where that was the case until now, are they holding up alright there?
as in they arent used to it
damn
And my years of clout now mean nothing to the new gen’s
haha it never does
When are they nerfing brewmasters?
Hopefully soon so we can go back to being autistic obscure one tricks
Hold up aren’t we the warriors getting nerfed?
no..warrior is weak.. yes... def not tankier than brewmasters...
depends, if the change goes through without protection getting removed from it
For the record, brewmaster taking 21 stacking bleeds come the adept of the dawn in Skyreach is fucking stupid.
Where as prot warrior 8 stacks and crying
You say that like brew isn’t also notoriously fucked on by bleeds
isn't that the dot where you need to step back for like a second to drop stacks
or shockwave
Jes
yah I actually did that today and was great
Ive been doing but consciously been stunning, lightly kiting and worked well
So just do that 4head
"i don't believe brew can dunk their dick in lava for no reason for longer than i can"
I think you understand, a chud brewmaster first timer will take it to the face no problem.
the chud brewmaster first timer has no effect on my day
Prot warrior gotta walk it back or stun.
I don’t want brew to get nerfed. I want other tanks to get buffed.
Why hate on them when we can join our tank brethren
Pls present your evidence
nah
Pikaboo has come online
oh nim there was a yogi clip when you were out, lemme dig it up
this is my own anecdotal evidence
your theory is incorrect
ok
i think it might not be the hero spec choice that makes the healer mad
so,
Everyone should just play bdk
oh boy
Really skew the metrics
Who was it that went to nome’s guide and ripped the talent build and started doing big keys on stream
And it was just to see what would happen to aggregate sites
andy?
I’m here for it. Tauren warrior and that mog is on point. He looks good even getting deleted like that.
Like all of us who level all the tanks
Just start doing all our keys as the least represented tank spec and see if people start asking why
What am I watching
is there sou nd
No
Guys
Hot off the presses
u need to take the damage reduce talents so u live longer as tank
cuz tank job taunt most hp
not put frontal on me
not at all about deal dmg
instant downvote
hes mad about dh
there's a guy that explained why they suggest the builds, and he got an upvote
the argument of this dumbass is
You can keep 100% uptime, but even looking at the top 10 DH only 2 or 3 didn't take this talent.
I read that post yesterday too
Pretty sad
People acting like authorities based on assumptions
Yup
except sadly it got upvoted because people are stupid
“I remember Max talking about this on stream, basically every class discord tank channel is terrible because they only advocate for doing more damage. Then thousands of tank players hit a wall cause they don't care about survivability cause they were told damage is king.”
Pretty much people complaining about ppal and talking about kyrasis or whoever the dk guy is
Idk his name the guy that plays bdk and goes against the tc-ers and guides
I mean, the wowhead prot guide is off. I don’t agree with all the comments regarding class discords necessarily though.
im going to test my personal theory again
that applies to me
and see if col makes more healers angry
yes and we mention it here regularly
but that guy didnt even care to explain the why
Exactly.
his "investigation" was way too shallow
I’m surprised max was accused of saying this
I became significantly better once I started reading here and asking questions here
it happened
Like people are commenting about class discords also being garbage.
hell, i did it here
Ya he explained his experience 10+ years ago
But its an old experience and he says as much
You did what here
i said running a cheat was fucking stupid
Oh
because the context where they were running it, they were dying because of other reasons, and it was a crutch, its better for those players to identify what they died to and fix it (and more often than not these players were certainly NOT gonna check logs to see where it proc'd to fix their mistakes)
the problem with Max and the PoddyC on that topic is first of all what Cam said
it was ages ago
second, we're not recommending those players (dorky, dratnos, or max, or any high level player or streamer) to not do it, but also dont know if they come in with other names
or we weren't
this discord is as old as legion, cant be that bad
and a friend of mine recommended archim to me 20 years ago already
cant be that bad
we aint bad
youre preaching to the choir here
reddit just LOVES to generalize
just like any stupid amount of people do
Without this discord I would still be running itf instead of hr and vanishing faster than yogi in that video.
there's 0 nuance if youre in such a hurry
Don't you know that not spamming ignore pain means not using it ever except when above 70 rage
😄
Okay so that K dude
Kryasis or whatever
He must be the guy who has the second DK discord
yes
that's like using wrecking throw on cooldown because it says so in the iv rotation when there's enemies to silence
Wait, should we be running HR over ITF?
yes up to about 1200 haste
Defensive stance reduces bleeding damage?
do you have 1188 haste rating?
Thanks
does the 1188 haste account for 1 stack of Itf or all 5
I think max was talking about stuff in mop or something i cant remember
Mop was elitist jerks era was it not?
4 stacks, its 4 stacks now, but yes
tankspot
ah yeah tankspot
@lusty grotto when are you doing keys big dog
that was in between
when i figure out how to 5 star this fucking weapon
Idk how true it is but apparently some of the stuff he pushes is straight up proven wrong by some tcers and they just say no instead of proving things. They stand behind his high io instead of info
what weapon?
whats the thoughts on mountain thane nerf and colossus buff? will colossus be better post patch?
i can build max axes/polearms i think
Rank 2s bro
🤷♂️
use rank 2s
That’s your problem
Wrong materials
i know what it is dw
use the expensive shit
yes
yeah rank 2 mats are unironically fucking massive
ah
NIM IS A KNOWER GUYS
Relax dn
skill issue
im trying to turn not have a big deficit here
you try to do it without
Oof
blacksmithing skill issue
I don't mind playing colossus. All I have to say is ppl must wait 3 sunders to dps lol
or with minimum effort
I’m just going to ask your merry band of aussies, cam
They know everything
Lmao for what
and with the purple tool
Everything
purple tool doesnt help
it does help
tiny bit but
no, purple doesnt have higher skill
it just has more resourcefulness or smth
that doesnt increase the quality
yeah youre right
you just get more stuff back which is great
thats exactly what i was figuring out right now, so ill just craft the blue tools andgo from there
but blue tools/accessories are enough to max craft
i made purple tools to get more back from crafting
If i craft a weapon for someone idc about the tip
Because i regularly get rank 2 sterling bars back from it
purple tool gives you about 4% more resourcefulness compared to blue
you also get materials back from the patron orders
pretty neat
guys guys
if thats not
i wasnt asking for help
i was just telling guil
alright
but yeah the skill thing helps
so ty
i was dreading running that dogshit ass abundance garbage with my entire crafting army
i get them with patron orders
50/50 for bag, (have to check each one what it gives)
bag gives all kinds of crap related to the profession
and often sone of the "combine 5 to make it better version"
yas
gz happy
Nicely done
i died on the kill
I am extremely conflicted
Devouring banding or sigil: void?
Im having durability issues in high M+
but im not sure which is better for that.
were waiting on friend to finish and going into a key if you wanna join
ah wait nvm we need a healer
BOOOO
ill let you know
True wowhead outdated and icy veins is pretty good just imo missing delve trinkets and st rotation may or may not have a bug for mt but that doesnt raise to the level of "setting tanks up for failure"
im in love with the colo
gz gz
doesnt matter
Got m1 to 5~% in 2 pulls
I haven’t even stepped foot into H
Nah jt was pretty doable
ty cat, it was fun for sure
We cleared N/H Dream, N March, and H VS up to Crown last night, hopefully get crown down again fast tonight after we dump the backups and stop raiding with 30 people
Damn give me that for my priest thanks
go join a group for last boss only, but dont forget to tip 😄
How much did you tip?
tipping skip groups 
tipping skip groups? more like skipping tip groups
is this clever, do we like this
2k
I mean I just join them and don’t tip because idk I don’t gotta do shit
They’re making money forming and leaving groups for hours at a time
It's dull af
So is gathering profession, and basically every other gold making method so meh
but they're helping us casuals not fight every boss
so i'm fine, they're not forcing you to tip
but i was surprised that it gives you a hero item
thought you'd get some veteran stuff
If the note states tips appreciated but not required, I default to the not required.
I mean tip if ya want I just ain’t 
I wouldn’t be shocked if they did a tuning pass to nerf some of the trinkets tho cuz I got a cracked stat proc one on my hunter
Seems a bit overturned perhaps
i got the rag trinket everyone was hunting for back in the day
vessel of acceleration
only champion but still kinda funny
Nice third boss in SoT
dat spell reflect
I know it’s gonna vary a lot but I like my buttons sort of in order or groups of rotation and things like defensives. Does anyone have something they can share with me? I tried following the rotation guide and putting my buttons in order like that from icyveins but it’s not flowing very well
SS first, then TC, then Revenge, then Execute, if youre playing thane
SS to do the things, then press TC and Revenge go reset SS
Any excess rage is thrown into IP (rule of thumb, if over 70 rage, press IP)
And that is it. CDs you throw on CD, if you got not some special reasons to hold em
Execute is just there for show right? We don’t actually press it right?
One of those first three is gonna be off CD or lit up 100% of the time right?
Thane, single target, 40+ rage, no SS/TB
Not really, no. It is a minor dps increase to use it as a "damage rage dump" instead of IP 
Poor execute
they really just killed it
Hope they remove the 3 target thing and just let it clap ST hits again
you press it as thane and only in pure ST
Ima be honest. I was looking at logs from this weeks hc dreamrift. I hit almost all my SS, shield blocks, and avatar casts. I had zero execute casts. How bad is that?
it is a slight dps increase
To be expected
were you running DW?
No way he would, or ya got it on the default raid Thane build?
Thane build yes but no deep wounds.
the default build runs DW
for raid
That’s actually a good question.
If you got no DW, you really didnt lose nothing
well the offensive one
Surprised DW would be more value than TaN
However, I switched to tough as nails
Feel free to roast me, I’m no theorycrafter. I just feel better running it over DW
Back to the retirement home with you, enjoy the Sunshine 
Do ya even dabble with WoW atm

It doesnt matter, I would do the same.
Game is about feeling good about playing it, so you are doing it the right way
As long you dont die, position well and hold threat, you doing great
It makes sense in my head. I rarely find myself in a position where I don’t have SS, TC, or even a revenge available.
in ST it is because youre getting hit less
I know
either way, you still press execute in ST without DW
just making the clarification
Plus I’ve gotten light years better at keeping shield block up 100% of the time. So TaN is like my reward for shield block uptime.
@lusty grotto @jagged pier
I love the attitude, tho your reasoning is a bit weak
I can live with that.
TaN is one of those things that just feel right tho
I completely am on that side
In the end, play it like you feel to, just follow the rule of:
If you are lacking, start correcting towards the meta play
If not, go ham, haters gonna hate, you still in the top 1 to 0.1%
That’s the most important thing to me. All those boxes are checked.
Nah, we discussing how to MinMax IP uptime
Oh
Gotta aim for that 100%
I was gonna say something but we dont like misinfo

We’re talking about tinned fish
Welcome to #protection
Sardines, IP or doom
Sardines are good
I’ve heard smoked oysters are great
Mackerel can be alright but if I’m doing something like that I usually prefer kipper snacks (herring)
Sardines are wonderful but they can be tricky to get into. The cheaper brands you find in most US grocery stores are awful
But anything packed in extra virgin olive oil or made by a reputable higher end brand is peak
They’re also like one of the healthiest foods you can possibly eat
Straight up cheat code tier
my old boss, a boarded nutritionist, used to eat a sardine and ketchup sandwich on wheat bread every single day at lunch. Peak nutrition efficiency
Ketchup isn’t very healthy but otherwise yeah
Oh it's not? I had no idea
i know, but thats what the can says here lol
I'm messing with you. Ketchup obviously isn't a pinnacle of health
Is it a translation thing?
maybe
Oh. I mean some people legit don’t know lol
It would make sense to be a translation thing especially since “sardine” in English is actually a word applied to something like 2 dozen species of fish
Yea
people read sardine and know its "canned fish" essentially
Yep
they dont really care what kind mostly lol
Generally for actual “sardines” it’s either brislings or pilchards
But both go by various names and encompass a few sub species
Brislings are the little ones, pilchards the big ones
Talking about sardines again
Is that a New England special
What other specs have hard silence besides us when throw+ jav(passive) and priest (they had it some point maybe it's shaow only)
DH can silence
Not, stop a spell and they are locked out of ice spell but he's ice AND earth monster so just casts earth bolt
The reason is loosely speaking doom
In doom, if it can't draw a line to fire on you monster will walk as close as it can to you
I'm hoping some dps have it
Everything comes to giant kill pile we can are them down fast together
Other wise skeleton mage boy just free casting crap at my team and I don't git aggro on him
Am I crazy for thinking it might be right to play actual defensive trinkets this season?
depends on what content youre doing
but it hasnt been different than any other season
I wish spell reflect was less obtuse
i wouldnt say that here, youre gonna make us very sad and angry to losing spell block
I just wish there was, at least like a note or something in the journal that said "spell reflect" or something
rather than having to trial and error every ability 400 times to make sure there's no false positives or negatives
i mean you really dont lose anything by just pressing it
is it magic? is it on you? press it
you still get MDR
even if not reflected or deflected
if you want damage its pretty simple to understand which deals damage and which does not
bolt -> reflect
super simple
its a 18s cd, no reason to just hold it for the next dungeon
Holy the fear cast on dreamrift is FAST
Man my guild is STRUGGLING with the adds in phase 2 of Crown...
does myth salhadaar have a hard enrage?
i thought he just has a soft in "room fills with shit"
guys I did kill chimaerus on heroic, will I have a chance to get the trinket from him in m+ vault?
or I need to kill one more boss to try to loot it from raid vault?
nope, only from raid slots
raid loot from raid slots, M+ loot from M+ slots
Tank stacks on Mythic Imperator... how many should we both have before taunting
thank you, so I just need 1 more kill on heroic
Yep. Jump into a hero pug and kill ass much as you can
just tried a gnome on ptr...
prot gnomes are funny
so good
i was so stunned i had to pause my music
Why are you playing a priest
I was the priest
Because our healing priest threw a tantrum and quit the guild
so im in priest jail
tbh shadow kinda fun but im still learning the minutia
That’s how I ended up in monk jail
i got the shadow damage neck from hero crown 
a group of kings it sounds like
This was one of the wipes on Imperator tho
Felt bad
Got the kill right after tho
We had problems with dispels
Healer raid frames struggling to spot for a couple of them
We had dispels down pretty fast, had our raid lead call who to dispel so it was smooth
That pull was just unfortunate tanking and he was in immunity area
Big uppy
i feel dumb i wasted hero crests upgrading a neck just to get alleria neck thats 6/6 already smh
Damn
crest inefficiency detected time to reroll
At least since we dont need to optimize for trading up it isnt a huge setback
yeah it just means one item will sit at 3/6 hero longer than the others
Poor wrists i suppose
I sent a cata charge on boots earlier that was epic
oop
Thankfully i still have like 4 charges but couldve been a bigger oopie
Time to reroll sorry
Ya already started on another
look at us being inefficient
My alts are so far behind because ive been unlucky af
Our guilds hpal sent his first cata charge on boots because he thought boots were part of tier (?)
Ive spent like 30+ keys getting no gear
Lmao
If this season has taught me anything
Its that i should be playing my 2nd mage too
Surely my bad luck is character specific
oof
It really do be like that
I also realized halfway through vorasius prog that i hadnt macro'd my mag'har racial into PI/Pots like I thought i had
So that
sucked
Rerol
Reroll
I didnt use pots first raid week because i was too lazy to update my macros

Maybe
We can get apb to carry us
apb Cam and I are washed can you carry
damn hell yeah
im jealous af
ur prot warr in ur guild is a lucky dude
i can barely get into any myth raid lol
that badass as hell tho 2 m kills u guys prob kill king too
They for sure get king
are dragons pretty difficult
Pash are u guys only 2 day 3 hour?
Ya
yah had a feeling
Itll be the first decent boss for non top guilds
are the guilds doing march on quel denas mythic yet
bosses on hheroic actually no joke imo
mythic prob nuts
I was watching really good guilds actually needing to prog it in heroic
Liquid’s on it
Mythic that is
Nope
and midnight falls actually wild
They definitely turned up the dials
only pulled lu'ra like 7 times only got her to 64% or so
we bumped it up to 3 day 3 hour
Wed/Thurs/Sun
Def has let us squeeze more kills in
and we're refining the roster
in a good spot i feel
Ya dialing it in and upping hours feels good
Really pushes prog so much
More gear and prog every week adds up to more than 3 hours each week over a season
boys I have arrived.
Grats
grats
Can wipes still be useful for analyzing logs? Currently progging on Mythic Vorasius and looking at current parses I’m doing really poorly - where on the fight before I did relatively well. I feel like I lag on vorasius and it seems like it may be causing me to miss globals for instant SS procs.
absolutely
Wait do you mean like a wiped pull? I thought you were talking about some analyzer that i never heard of

Nim how’s the return to wow
As it be
we've ran like 4 seats, 0 gloves

My gf is 20 AA this week alone and no puzzlebox
i got 1 mark of light and one hero chest that i didnt need and that was it
Im like 10ish AA and no ring

cucklebox

Our WW was like "do u want me to make a macro that whispers you for PI when i hit puzzlebox
and i was like
no
I'm a shadow priest I hit PI when I hit Voidform and if that doesnt line up well for you then sucks to be you ig 
Man these chinese mofos are crazy, are they all unemployed or what lol
Well funny u say that
Because most of the top chinese teams
Are employed through key boosts
"Soulhunter’s Mask has been renamed to Shroud of the Soulhunter." kek
I AM SLOW. but I will get legend.
everyone progs at their own pace 
this is the way
You got this!
Yup not a race
speaking of race
👀
i kinda wanna make my priest a drac
for the glide mobility but also
i doubt this rank 1 team is boosted, they definetly will boost others, and I assume it will be the same mess like last season where at the very end everyone who ran +14s suddenly ran a +21 key lol
i really like being mag'har
their job is selling boosts, not being boosted
Thats what i mean, the teams have incentive to push io because they make their money selling keys. It’s literally their jobs
The chinese top m+ scene is much different than eu/na
But the reward for a chinese team winning mdi keeps going up so maybe some teams will lean more towards that now
yea well thats not really a job, but more has a side hussle, but overall chinese players are different than us/na plebs
It’s their job im pretty sure not a hustle
At least from what ive heard i obviously dont know them
why do i think some of them live still at their parents house, in the basement with 30 lol
Because youre looking at it from the perspective of living in a different culture and country
bout to call mom and ask if she can build a basement
*Mom Im coming back"
she'd probably love it
got my first critter of the night
well the day i guess
just an amazing critter that didnt understand how resetting instance worked after a vote abandon was on cd
whats a critter?
an insignificant mob that just chirps and does squeaky noises
ahh
a gnome wizard
got to hit a fun clip tonight during dreamrift.. dont mind the reaction i was hyped
i GOTTA fix my timers that shits atrocious
ngl I'm shocked that it even let you do that since you were over empty space; normally it yells at you that there's no path in those cases.
fellow woyers, would you recommend indomitable, or shield charge?
SC
and one more question ty
intervene over pain and gain eh?
ive been sacrificing mobility for that sustain
Neither Pain and Gain nor Intervene are must haves
I feel like these are not choices that should be choices. Or am I crazy?
ty for the feedback, sorry just swapped to prot and was hoping to optimize
how these talents performed last dungeon
This kind of information is meaningless

Our healing isnt something to pay attention to
roger ty
Shield Charge is not optional for any talent. If you want Indomitable, you drop Tough as Nails, but it's not needed. We're not a self-sustain tank. We're a mitigating tank.
use the icy-veins builds
Droping sc when its part of our actove mitigation and part of our tier set???
haha yeah im a noob, ty for the feedback all
Overwhelming Rage is a waste of a point as long as you're playing correctly as well
nice hdr monitor
hdr always brightens screenshots, i swear its not as bright as it seems!
ill take a look at that rn
how did you know 
alright talents optimized, ty again for all your knowledge guys!
good call on OR, i guess if youre dumping rage into IP and ur rotation you dont need the extra 30
open snipping tool (not via the shortcut), hit the three dots on the right into Settings
ok gotcha
ty tho
yeah sorry was only paying half attention to disc while running a key lol
my bad! dont let me distract you and hope you are smashing / smashed the key
oh nah lol
Win Shift S will be your best friend
this screenshot is with that keybind, is there a big dif between that and prt scrn?
based transmog
yayyyyyy i got 3k ^^
gz gz
the rank 1 prot from my realm has the nick really similar to mine, its weird
Rank 1 - Pertis Rank 2 - Petri
lol ty!
finished a key and these talents are feeling a lot better
Hey guys! Learning prot for m+ to get my alt into more guild keys. Any tips for a first timer? I've played 2 keys and it feels like the complete opposite of blood dk
thats because it is
BDK is a reaction-based tank
we're a preventative-based tank
keep Shield Block up at all times, make sure youre always facing mobs, thats the first rule
play Heavy Repercussions instead of Into The Fray if you do not have 1188 haste rating
to make sure you do not have SB gaps
Do I Shield wall > Shield charge > Shield wall?
no
wall is your wall hehe
this is very important
Do I ever press rend with TC applying it?
oh okay I got only 730 haste
then swap that talent to Heavy Repercussions, it'll help with SB uptime
Im not rage dumping into revenge
very important cause it'll provide cooldown reduction on your Wall and Avatar
you keep your rage between 30 and 70
Yeah
So this is the build atm, Just came out of a seat so I took the magic DR instead of armor
and then I had into the fray but I swapped it for the other talent cause my haste is low
ehhh
you should be playing 4/4 apex
No indom?
what key levels are you doing
10-12 ish atm just to get use to it
no indom
indom is for higher keys to not get one shot by tank hits?
no
o
its just for people that want to have some additional self-sustain, in the bleeding edge it might have an effect... but thats' extremenly debateable
straight up DR is much better
Fair
How often do I press IV? is it an oh shit button or should I press it before something dies
its an oh-shit button
kk
usually pressed if pot is on cd
So what's the opener for a pack? Shield charge > Avatar > clap > Demoralizing shout ?
no
is that the right word for a buff
you can stack its duration up to 3x times
just be careful of pressing it too much that you lose a charge for the next pull by using it when mobs are about dead
and remember SC grants it also
Awesome, ty for the help
anytime 
Looks like prot uses similar gear to arms as well
Even if it doesn’t apply here
tank ego at its finest lmao
we failed a +9 algethar and hes mad, and ofc its my fault. For him not popping CDs
where is a place to find mythic+ specs
icy veins
ok
you know you´re right
hes a fucking idiot and I should move on
he can tattoo my name on his ass or something
it was at the crawth fight, the second boss. During the Deafening Screech phase we all kept getting a big dot, I searched why and found out that casters shouldnt cast during this to avoid this dot. Our Mage ignored it and we died to this twice
yea i just searched it, now i know how to avoid, was not fun to heal against it as the dot was hitting hard
didnt pop CDs and kept taking huge amount of damage
he wasnt even 250 ilvl
wait no
he was abit above 250, but yea he definetly did something wrong
idk why tanks feel so squishy
its cause he was playing like an idiot
savage peck deals less damage than the boss' melees in this iteration of AA
the only thing i can think of is that that hes one of those dudes that cant figure out SB
and/or he was definitely eating avoidable shit
You aint, but there is a lot of knowledge of what is dangerous and have a plan to handle it
Might be the #1 reason this season ppl tank once or twice, then quit
Game doesnt tell you "this is dangerous", you just die and fast suddenly.
Not exactly fun for the casual
wat
he fucking was
every time ppl eat avoidable damage
like a hoe
absolute nasty
i mean you can confirm that with a log
You should take a shower, eat a meal and take a walk
Lill un'
but im willing to bet we aint wrong heh
Oof, i hit 2.5k io on arms on day 4 of m+
i dont have logs, i dont do that shit tbh
you should
Logs are the only way, other than a clean VOD, to really go back and see what/why/how
Its quite useful

just to be clear its not to assign blame, but to understand what things went wrong and improve upon
How do you kite the bleeding mobs in Skyreach on high keys? aside from maintaining tc slow and occasional shockwave/piercing howl
but also... sometimes you just gotta chuckle at jerks 
Stun with wave, as you backpeddle, it will fall off. You can just continue backpeddaling as ppl micro AoE cc, and it will never be an issue
you face tank until a good number of stacks, you shockwave and you stutter step back into the boss' platform
dont kite all the time, you wont generate rage and that will kill you
just watch stacks
there's a ton of those mobs in the dungeon and the bleed gets scary fast
its not a bleed, its a fire dot
Backpeddaling aint knitring tho, it just gives a 0.5 sec extra of time frame after the CC ends

I dont fight my AI anymore
backpedaling
oh yeah. though same but different
I given up
no but cat is right
the only ones you gotta worry about are the ones after 1st boss really
That people taking this game way too serious, yup
there's abunch before last boss too
yeah but in that area you have a bunch more space
i mean
yesterday i pulled the mobs before the boss platform back to the end of winds platform lol. granted, dps wasnt that good but still
what i mean is you can just leap out -> reset -> charge in
yeah i leap, howl, swave
instead of backpedalling in a tight space etc
either way what cat said should still work there
just gotta watch stacks
Prob should just take inti shout and have another AoE stop
howl works good too
Sure, but AoE slows are almost always there either way
A stop is just valuable and limited
ig i'll try it next time
is there a GOOD spell reflect sheet for this season?
yes its pinned
I am not a fan of all these "you need to reset a bleed" mobs lately tho
Just makes tanking feel sheit
yeah it does
yeah just giving anxiety
even worse when you cant fucking dwarf it
Just meld it 
like fiery talon, smh my dwarf head
Not only drops it, you also dont get hit again by em for a good while
Nn, Ratta
Good Morning guys!
I played a AA+10 last night with Prot (GS 263 atm) and was literally deleted on the first big pull. I was cycling Shield Walls with Last Stand + Demoshout, always filling with Demoshout and Shield Block on 100%. Ignore Pain feels like an absolute disaster right now cause it pops up and literally gets deleted instantly. I see other Prots doing this big pull at ease in 14/15 keys. Is there any secret i don't know yet?
Prot can fully pull the tree boss room right? or are the bleeds awful
The big flower mobs, throw a bleed on you. If you pull them in at basically the same time, they will cast it at the same time. So you want to do that
Once you taken a set of bleeds, and you cant have it removed by any source.
You can leap away and let it fall off, then go back in. For the set after again, intervene away.
Continue like this till they are all dead. Do remember to pop dCDs as you go back in, as the mobs are likely enraged
That sounds absolutely reasonable!
You can take double sets, if you got a dispell at hand, but you will need to wall the duration of the 2nd set
Is the Bleed removable by dwarven stoneform or anything else?
Dwarf, Evoker bleed removal, BoP if you can cancelaura play it, there are ways
some people really dont know shit bruh...decided to run a +2 magisters and we lowkey depleted this because 2 ppl didnt know the soak ring mechanic from Degentrius
wht
Not even in the slightest. Only through osmosis from hanging around with my friends
