And our entire gameplay loop requires us to spend rage, so any rage we waste by overcapping can't be fed into the loop.
No problemo
are u doing myth raid? nimchip. If u are, could u dm or tell me ur character name so i can check some good logs
seems u know a lot of the class
im not atm
ou
my guild is currently reforming so we're behind a little bit
Just go to warcraftlogs and search for top parsing prot warriors
just search Sense Tichondrius
im raiding with brew but i wanted to give prot a try
Yeah, Sense always has logs you can look at and he's very good
Master Sense is a top tier one-trick and youll never get some cheesing out of him
just proper play
Sense Tichondrius on youtube?
On WCL
if you search WCL leaderboards youre gonna have cheese monkeys
so def dont follow that other's person's advice
On youtube he's SenseNurfed
ik people hard pad to be top 100

as brew it feels the same
i mean i can get 60k on averzian myth
and its still a 57 xD
i go check top1 log
full dmg small adds
ahh thank you for that
just to be clear im not 100% sure plka is playing warrior, but when he is, he is also good
okey so
i thought before IP was the most important part aside shield block
i should focus my defensives on
its secondary to SB
big uptime on shield block, using good shield slam and shield wall?
high APM on SS
oke
always prio SS over thunder slam procs?
or whatever its called
idk exact names of the spelss sorry
This is an EXTREMELY common misconception, so don't feel bad haha
TB prio, but it can go either way really
TB first
TB > SS > TC > Rev/Exe (for SS resets only, execute only as Thane and in pure ST)
yes thats fine
will read the wowhead guide if its good so i refresh my mind
its not good
seems very safe for raid right?
use the icy veins guide
the spec
alrigh
Icy Veins is better
alright*
yup yup appreciate it
i think i will progress better with war than brew
in raid
Oh yeah and a last question
Guides recommend first 2 crafts wep shield
should i follow that or adapt to my gear?
as i geared it this week, no myth vault from the week before yet and didnt craft anything
ye i mean
i know its advised the wepp shield
jsut asking personal opinion
as im some weeks late into the character
it doesnt matter
it doesnt matter
we always go ilvl > all on shields and weapons
ye
so does virtually every class
i wss thinking on crafting belt as it was champ and my weapon was maxed out hc so i didnt lose the hc crest i blindly wasted
but yeah if wep better i do wep shield
could even do the 3 i think
yeah you'd be down 240 myth crests but sure
i didnt waste 1 yet
do read the fine print on the shield craft, especially if you have 1st boss on farm
myth shield > crafted shield
myth weapon > crafted weapon
but myth weapon comes from saladbar
maybe should i just give a try to pugging first one just in case i get it before i craft? 🤔
will do tomorrow
oh i thought you were doing myth with your guild
i see
until i swap im raiding with monk
we going Tuesday chima and saladbar
as war was 260 today
and monk is 274
saladbars is the best weapon?
best weapon is the highest ilvl you can get
yeah true sorry
for bosses how do you split ignore pain/revenge all my boss parces suck
thank you
I hit ignore pain too much it seems
Yeah I'm already learning a ton from the discord channel.
Im very sure hitting ignore pain 13 times per minute is not ideal based off this metric
i dont have any survivability issues in raids, so my main spending for rage in raids is revenge when thunder/ss is on cd
I think im doing it because I wasnt confident in either myself or in my healers but I dont do it in m+ which is weird
since WA isnt a thing anymore is there a customizable resourcebar? i want it to change color if rage >= 70
If I can maybe ill change the rage colour after 70
that is still playing incorrectly, read what i linked
rage consumption is faster if you use IP
do not follow what they replied with
There are addons that can change color of your resource bars at certain levels, but 70 isnt a hard number, just dont cap
had the same thing in raid! i couldnt be healed all night (although not warior, but dk. im scouring everything for more instances of it happening and information)
I mean I just tested what you that wall said and ive been doing like 7% more
there's a lot of topics covering it but warrior side on the WoW CS forum
7% more what

cam you wanna key?
I did another normal chim
that doesnt answer the question but damage

good shit
The other day when u were back and i asked if u were keying
I was waiting in lfg looking to snipe you
But i think u were with guild
one more question nimchip

for example if im off tanking in raid
shall i just swap stance?
when not actively tanking
you can
its good to do so in raid, but just remember to swap to dstance when you taunt
or just before it
I know tank parces arent the most on boss fights but Im glad that I acutally do some decent damage now
parsing is always good
makes me feel a little dumb that im 8/9 on hero already
Parsing is one of the most fun things to do in raid when its just reclears
Just dont make it your personality
Sometimes if i know my parse is cooked i contemplate jumping off the platform
And praying for a wipe
Just seeing alot of green made me feel a bit bad if I ever get mad over my parses ill drop the game
Lmao
Our priest was like 5 globals late for mass dispel on paladins this week
And it absolutely ruined me
And i almost jumped off
It’s a good way to spot room for improvement and it’s a good motivator for it
A lot of raid tanks get complacent, but at least for dps players they live and breath parses so there’s more pressure to improve
By a lot of raid tanks i mean ive heard of a few and making a broad general statement that has no facts behind it 
I really like how you worded that thanks for the words of wisdom also thanks again nimchip

we are warriors do we really need to make sense
Nope
just ooga booga
got bodied first pull in MC16 lol
made a new group and clapped the 15
idk what happened but people weren't raging about it so that was cool
is there a way to make execute only glow when like.. you know, the target is in exe range?
no
brilliant, thanks
Another one
grats pashypoo

Literally cant be stopped
hypothetically, im out of SW, avatar on cd, and im bought to take a big hit. Its just spam IP and pray right
nvm i got 900
Spamming ip is almost never a solution
If its a buster or something i guess u call for external or pray you live it
If its trash just leap away/cc
i just feel very tied to SW to do risky m+ pulls/big hits, and without it i panic IP and hope it keep sme alive
im not super used to kiting, but i think i should be doign that more based on high keys ive seen (second season tanking)
it wont
So when you are in that hole, impending victory, keep up the active mit, and then its external or ktie?
with the movement speed slow (i forgot the name)
you not only have walls
you have SR
and demo shout
all of them are DR (or MDR in SR's case)
maybe im to in the flow of using demo for DPS, and in harder content i should consider the DR portion more
not only that but SS does Punish which is more DR, TB does Keep your feet on the ground which is 8% dr, Phalanx does 5% DR
Its hard to just make a hypothetical situation because i feel like your reaction varies by the situation
not quite, remember demo shout has cdr due to TC usage via talents
but yes, if you think youre gonna need it you can certainly hold it
I feel like I have the damage portion down pretty good, nice heroic parses and good key dps. But when i run out of SW, i feel much more lost in "stay alive buttons" than i did on brew last tier. I coudl post raid logs if it helps but not sure
Maybe youre using sw when u dont need to
Maybe, but like you said its pretty subjective. some bosses/keys i never press it
some I feel like I need 4 charges
Does everyone drop last stand on shield wall in higher keys? It feels pretty important in the 9-10 pug range
I dont take it at all
I just thought it read bad, the times where you are pressing SW that low seems bad fundamentally
but im new here 🤷
i dont use it in 13s
probably dont plan to use it until... way later if at all
I guess it comes down to trusting your healer
nah
We arent a self heal tank
Ok I'll drop it and go back to devastate
I dont think ill be doing keys big enough to warrant it, im not sure how high of keys you expect to push
I thought it was illegal to do tank keys over a 10 unless you were Brew
All tanks are able to do decent keys rn
What else is there to drop? The rend rage talent?
Ya I just swapped one point out
LS isnt swap worthy honestly but if you had to swap Enduring Alacrity is a good pick
or
yeah bloodborne
There really aren't a lot of options, the tree branches in a way that everything is mandatory
It does feel like it's in a good place though, I'm enjoying it
Ya warrior is in a good spot rn
Hopefully the avatar nerf they have coming won't ruin it
I kinda like alternating clap every gcd
Why, what's prio over fishing for shield slam procs
No, they got an avatar nerf in the pipe for .5
Ya for thane
so its not an avatar nerf
what no
oh right yea
its whatever, since practiced strikes is getting buffed
it shuold just put thane more evenly with colossus
so 🤷♂️
we still count it as an unintended nerf
it was aimed at fury
we're just catching a stray
I don't think the people making these changes actually play warrior
I mean, the talent/gameplay linked is getting old tbf
its not a big deal since SS was getting buffed too
i totally understand the idea behind the nerf, they just want it to be less bursty and to have less importance in extending avatar
still feels like a stray from fury nerfs
but it is what it is
i kind of agree with archi though, the damage nerf is what feels strange
the cdr is fine
either way SS still trucks so thats okay
Isn't not like warrior dps is pumping right now, like how they kept hitting arms with nerfs till it was borderline
its not a huge loss in overall dps from the sims
unless they havent updated mimiron
not world first
prove it!
0.0034%
The percentage of players tracked by Data for Azeroth that have obtained this item
and they have like 1.3m accounts tracked
so roughly 40 people have it
I'll duel them for the title.
It's less than that if Google AI is correct. Says they track 2.5 million accounts
err more than that
idk man, have you seen that Black Snape Harry Potter diss track, that shit is right af
Remember when Delves had puzzles
nope, I've done like a handful of delves in my life
They added a chance for hero items to drop from bountiful chests now
I think rank 9 on the delve track
Strenght still gives bonus to armor and vice-versa?
Thanks!
<@&257983573498265600>
I dont see many evokers this season. does their bleed removal work on the myriad of stacking tank busting bleeds this season?
Id definitly go out of my way to invite one in higher keys if i can if they can remove those bleeds
damn
AA bleeds, sure
i dont play dwarf tho so idk which it will work on. works on the lashers in AA and the champions in seat i assume?
see above
how far above
a line above
AA okay
idk what you mean about champions in seat
the mobs in the first pulls before 1st boss, some more of them before 3rd boss too but you can skip them
there's no bleeds there
this is definitly a good season to be a dwarf but im not gonna reroll for that
oh its a shadow dmg dot
those champions are just destroying me
those arent dispellable so no
no
nah
the first pulls in Seat
he means first room
the knockback ones you can just spell reflect
Oh okok
i also have to tell my group not to kick 3rd boss
topping meters with spell reflect there
well not topping
but close
I should start to try intervene reflects to see if some works
WRS has some stuff that is dwarfable
Bc a shit ton of stuff is deflectable
and also the one debuff in Pit
the plant balcony?
ehh
thats the only place in WS that i ever feel like im killable
welcome back
Im dps this season in m+ and yeah tanks usually dies in the plants area
weird
i did like two WRS today and i didnt feel like it was dangerous
But idk if it’s bc they roll into the next pack or bc actual mechanics
i just literally pull that whole thing
WRS is not dangerous for the tank at all, only that one pull with the plant mushroom thing can hurt you
when he spawns a lot of adds
but you can kite them
I can’t really dissociate what is happening to the tank with just they fucking rolled in the middle of the pack sometime
because a hero one refuses to fucking drop
not crafting one?
why though
myth raid my dude
1/2 shield bearers in my guild got it, soon it will be mine
youll probably get it before me
knowing my stupid luck
didnt this happen like 3 seasons in a row?
Im most likely third, just needs to drop
S1 I never got a myth shield, S2 I got it in my first/second vault and S3 I didn’t even craft one
I think I got one randomly in a manaforge reclear, omega saladbar got a shield no ?
i wish i had your luck sometimes
how it feels when you´re back at tanking and know you´re just goated
How are we dealing with Null Sunders in Nexus? How are these cleared?
S2 was my lucky vault season 0 socket until full gear even if I crafted on CD, when I switched back to dps mid prog I got 2x2 hands back to back in the vault 
with what?
dont even know what your talking about never noticed anything in nexus thats an issue
https://www.wowhead.com/spell=1249645/null-sunder stacking armour debuff from defenders on the left side, sometimes stacks get real high and I am getting clapped, timer is long and mobs immune to cc so can't stun and kite like other debuffs. Other times they are just are just dropping off before timer is up and not getting too high. Was wondering if it's something that just needs to be healed through
yeah of course
its a heal absorb
it fades when it gets healed
you can also reflect it to reset it
but just treat it like any other stack and play it like that
stun when the timer is about to fade etc
treat it just like fiery talon (which cannot be reflected), first AA pull bleeds, or even Nullaeus add debuffs etc
What stats do you want to have on your 1h and shield? Is it crit haste or something different?
sim
or just go haste + something else to be safe
but it just depends on overall stat distribution, but it really just doesnt matter esp on a weapon which doesnt have much stats to begin with
haste is never wrong
1h and shield are important because they provide attack power, armor, and block. their secondary stats dont leave a big footprint
i just checked, on 1h its crit haste, shield is vers mastery something like that
wrong
why
its crit haste for both
haste lowers your shield block cooldown, tell me you dont want as much of that as possible
but like i said, those slots dont have much stats so its not a big loss if you just want to save some gold and random stat it
disagree
if they are gonna craft something and not mythic raid, they might as well be the best stats
yea mythic raid is not planned anytime soon
then you go the best stats and play the vault waiting game for myth tracks
taking my time, my pwarr is still gearing for basics and doesnt have any set piece yet
Yea
Oh thanks for this. I didn't know it was reflectable
those stats just dont mean that much until you hit higher tier content, and this fellow asking about stats with the WoWNoob tag likely isnt planning on progging lura anytime soon, so im giving the advice i believe is most relevant to the person asking
ait
this fellow is known... 
i still think that if you dont mythic raid and dont have much gold you can definitely just send your wep crafts without a missive :P highly likely you will get haste anyway, plus if you dont its not gonna make or break your season in the more medium core gameplay
is it
cheap over there in NA
think its like 3k here the haste ones
not much but some people are broke
i think its reasonable to think that if he asks "which stats", he wants the stats for a reason
fair enough i concede
700 but yea they arent that crazy expensive
so both crit haste right?
okay
time to upgrade my shit
What are you guys doing for taunt swaps on mythic imperator?
Or whatever its name is lol
First boss
I treated it like normal/heroic but other tank struggled a bit with the hp drop, so assuming we need to taunt more regularly
you swap after the other tank taunted, then you taunt and play tic tac toe with the boss
You guys speccing into just 1 point for apex talents?
what's this noise about mountain thane getting nerfed? will it effect prot too?
if it comes to it, yes apparently
the cooldownreduction of tc during avatar is less and the dmg of tc in general afaik
not in here no
Nope
Thane gets nerfed so Colossus getting buffed, we will see how it look like when its on the PTR live
For very high keys it has places, but the bulk of the work, is done by bsv
So if your want to go tanky just take bsv
And still play 4apex
alrigth, so not in yet, potentially got to change with .5 patch?
Also i dont know if its in his build but alot of these builds are taking bb, which as we do not hat much bleed damage isnt really worth taking anymore even for fbv heaking its not gunna make or break it so can swap that for something more defensive too
Also look if hes running hr
Because if hes nit he inting if he dont have the correct haste for it
Build in question
do i bother switching to dwarf, cant clear this stupid AA on a 15 -_-
Im more doubtful on his class tree, and I didn’t have a thought about gathering cloud either
But the video, he is not very confident, likely still learning/ climbing
Piercing howl neither
He talks about berserk rage dispel / dungeon specific
I play with a red talent thane build 
No stormbolt no intervene
first pull? yea its definetly rough
You need to set it right and kite it to reset your stacks
idk if its a pack living thing, ill keep trying before i swipe but aye if dwarf makes it easier lmao
It does make it easier + if you can have a pocket evoker
Why don't people take apex talents lately?
Idk who does that except the guy we talked about earlier
Rank 1 prot war plays 4 apex
isn't the dr from second wind worth it for really critical situations?
You take dmg in solo play
And you proc bsv at 30%
and when you play against stuff that wittles you away it's useful like elites or elite packs
or raids that are just about soloable
legacy ones
so not a great talent for m+ unless your dmg intake is very steady and your healer cant keep up
hes playing 1 apex?
Acefloorpov
you give up dps going down to 1/4
substantially i'd say
and if you cc chain with a good group mobs dying fast is more important than dr is it not?
Raiderio is bugged with apex talents
copy
Check his logs of his 19s
truuu
If you take raider.io-> calculator you still have 3 points to put in the tree
If the tree has green nodes = you can still put talent points
Some streamers seem to use 1 point, i think it mightve been a possibility at one point in beta? I think the ones that do just dont have up to date info or something because there isnt really a point not to
But Pika does play 1/4 apex
I know i saw plka using 1 point and i was sad
surely its a preference thing ive only used the 4
At the end, it will not be a preference thing for pushing extreme high keys
If you need context on their choices, ask them on their stream bc we can’t answer if it’s very specific to a dungeon/pack/boss in a certain key lvl
Like one of the 19s acefloorpov plays last stand no punish
Can you run heavy rep. And not go haste? Or is it just dogshit?
@coarse bay thanks. It just feeling so one sided that HR is just a talent node to use «on your way too 1188 haste» and then you swap to ITF.
Was just wondring if staking vers crit or even mastery and keep running HR could be good too in some situations. Don’t know hoping for a diverse gameplay but I guess its just dumb overthinking
Answer is yes, heavy repercussions is still recommended, but haste is always really good to get
I think it’s a big gain when u can move to itf
But you dont want to switch until you can be sure of your shield block uptime
Hence the number 1188 haste
Mhm
Im sure you could choose to take other stats until then
Thatd be a sim or feelcraft angle
Thanks for help @coarse bay
is it factoring in shield charge?
the 1188
or is that extra uptime depending on situation and a part of 'managing your shield block uptime'
I think the design choice is questionable yes, bc it is a common trap
while I'm sure it's bad... what's the downside of macroing shield slam with ignore pain as shield slam? how much rage am I truly burning?
We are tuned around having 100% effective block, but smh it’s a choice to just die in the beginning of an expansion
Somebody very practiced can make it work with less than 1188 if they know what theyre doing
You dump your rage over 70 rage, so if you macro IP with SS and replace your SS bind, you will IP under 70 rage and starve yourself
It’s extremely bad because you shield slam often, meaning ud spend it all on ip and never have block
Yes
thank you, I stopped using it once I hit 90 anyway, it was fine for levelling but I was curious about the maths behind it
Macro
Apex is because aggreate sites and them all copying each other and they faxt 4 apex on beta was worthless so they all got used to running 1
Oh ya it has been frequent, i just chalked it up to still new season and probably people trying tanking
Everyone tried to macro things together for some reason
From simulationcraft apm stats it seems prot war is very high again, maybe it’s one of the reason
Ya, probably
It is at max ilvl but it doesn’t change the point
how much vers to peeps got
Whatever happens to end up on my gear while im looking for haste 
Im not home but im sure its a small amount
i saw apex discussion above. i was running up to 2.8k as 4/4 apex but changed to 1/4 apex last night and found it much nicer to survive with in pugs. maybe when i get to 280+ ilvl ill go back to 4/4
last stand and indomnitable just help me prevent veteran from proccing too much in those sketchy pulls, runs feel smoother
my prot warri friend seems to be bugged. i cant heal him anymore. do you know what to do?
its a new bug yeah, heard about it yesterday
tanks become "unfriendly target"
is there a fix? or do we have to wait for blizzard 😕
maybe if people stopped dying to random stuff we wouldnt be so unfriendly
i havent heard of a fix. guess its bricked key :/
Can u link to see all classes ?
someone posted about it on reddit yesterday told it happened to him 4 times that day
im ngl i m pre sure ive Carpal tunnel
Nah his chars bricked as far as im aware
Thats not even high
It used to be higher 
my wrists are conditioned for destro lock
time to swap to his monk again x)
Might be linked to this spamming abilitly thing that might also be a seperate bug, no idea lots of weird stuff going on
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/tank-bugged-in-keys-help/2285460
its happening to other tanks too
My DK is completely bugged. I first noticed it running a lower key with my guild. The healer was complaining about not being able to cast a heal on me. Then I ran another key +9 with another guild group. Different healer. she said my party frame was untargetable. the key ended up being a wipe at the first boss. I am blood DK and 269 ilvl so up...
Yer its a char thing not a spec thing
Happening all over the place
Just blame rwf, it stater hapoening after the fix they pushed for addon fixes from rwf
Unless its an addon a lot of ppl sre using

Thata been bricked
I have a very important question: What is the ultimate protection warrior weapon combo transmog?
Whatever fitd your tmog the best
oh how the tables have truned
.................. a BLOOD death knight
...... which is a tank ...... thats self heals alot......... used to solo things this way.............
dies to not having a healer
basically
but again i will say it, blizzard fix your game
Is it completely normal for my shield slams to be critting for 150k+? I was a bit shocked. Is it a proc I'm generating or something?
this is like 7/10 on the clown scale allowing your game to be in a state that you cant target the tank in a key to heal them
its not totally rediculous but its tedering on it
Are there situations where we are taking Hunker down in m+ keys?
I feel like there are so many good talents in this protection tree...
the issue with what you are saying
is the keys are on timers
so that by default makes us take offensive talents
That makes sense.
up until your doing like 18s 20s
Does Punish stack indefinitely?
and even then, its for specific dungeons with specific comps, pre-calculated and cd's planned to live it
cuz thats the other side of it
is, at the level, its you dont live the cast, the keys over
Right, violent outburst. That's where the shield slam damage was coming from. Who knew you might learn something from reading your talents.
Ye but your never gunna get over 4 really
man these group listings are so funny sometimes... "3.2k Main" lol
is there a way to track mobs cd like crunch armor from bears in maisara caverns? like old weakaura cd nameplate used to do
Nope
well, what i know is it doesnt show like it would on a boss
i can have guesses for reasons why this is the case
so, its literal gunna have to be you set a timer and track it lol
or wowhead it
and write it on piece of paper
We need 35% haste baseline to keep 100% uptime of SB with ItF?
its never going to be 100% uptime
u need ither HR or like 66% haste (from rating alone) to do that
its 100% effective uptime with management or close to
or 75% mastery /.s
S3 I’m gonna prepare a mastery prot gear
if i make a wizard type character in wow im doing this transmog
this guy is a REAL wizard
Having high crit is a little cozy I have to admit.
Hey @jagged pier
When you’re looking at a dungeon log
Does uptime only count during combat
Or while the dungeon timer is running
Like I know we don’t necessarily care about SB uptime in general over effective uptime and percentage of blocked hits, but if someone’s log shows 73% uptime does that indicate that much of the dungeon regardless of being in combat or not
Or that percentage of actual combat time
in logs it takes into account movement time between packs etc
thats why we look at blocked hits instead
I figured
hey rhino, still working on keys, caverns is a turd
did some lower ones since 7 and 8's werent happening
explained them the mechanics for each so they cant screw it up
hope i can do 10 of it by tues
You can hover the dps number to see active dps, idk if you can’t do the same with shield block uptime
Interesting
I’ve failed to time two 10 caverns
First one I just don’t think we played very well
Second one we had a healer priest that was struggling and my prot pal friend had a couple times where he seemed to just fall over, unsure why
at first it was we would wipe to first boss, then we got to final boss on 8 and tried it like 5 times
and they cou ldnt seem to manage it
I’ve noticed a number of people are still unsure how the traps work on the first boss
Nobody knows how the last boss works
so its hard boss without using strategy
Interrupting the ghost boys is def huge
i was running it on a 6, which we seem to have no issue compared to the 7s
Shoutout to whoever was in here yesterday learning up apb and me
and my priest was total panicing during the leap
and just running around scared
had to send them whisper to stay with the other marked
cuz, once again, with all adds more than 1, its about getting them all lumped up so the dps can attack them with same aoe attack and kill them fast
I charge kick one, shockwave another and wreck throw another last, I let slow ppl do the remaining ones while I hit the boss 
Gnome racial very powerful when you don’t care about charging into the civilian ghosts
its just only the totem that spawns in and not something else right
cuz every time those totems spawn in they get aggro on something, that i think they have to kick
but i cant be there when hes going to drop the crap
cuz they die immediately after too
tbf the last boss mech where he jumps on 3 ppl and pop gripping adds is not that easy to do properly
it would be pretty hard to change the fight now
Not everyone can remain calm to dodge the circle / while staying close to the previous
I don’t think the fight needs to be changed
I think people just need to learn to group up the totems and kick all the ghost boys
The fight is fair yep, the minmax is not required to do a 10
Kicking/ccing the ghosts that make the big bubbles gives you a dmg buff
and speed buff
lol what, you get flagged publically? lmao
you do
Yes, you gotta be a good boy lil gup
Agree to disband
soon as it is 1000% doomed
disband it with vote
then you will not get it
now, my personal feeling about this, is there should be some blizzard AI system
that if you have spent 27 minutes
and you are fighting the second boss and wipe aga in
especially if the game detects alot of like fighting and swearing in the party chat
you can get upset, just dont be a jack ass
any other prot warriors notice the bug we have going now? Luckly i was in a llowkey when i notice this! Bug i experinced now is my def stance dropping off randomly food buff etc, also the healer couldnt target me either but he reloaded his ui and was able to target me !
food buff bug, no
well i always buff up befor a run and during my run it was off and i didnt die
Haven’t experienced any of these bugs
item used is the blue quality hearty skewer of beef, dunno what buff that i s but i have 200 of them in my bags
panda race?
someone with the same issue pls dm me or ping in here !
defstance dropping randomly is nasty
i dont have that one either
if you run zero addons period
1000000% blizzard ticket
its a wide spread issue, a refresh ui points to it being an addon now, compared to what ppl ahve said
what addons do u use?
my assumption just listening to reports of i would guess its to do with elvui possibly
Hi friends, I’m sure this is asked a million times a day, but do we 1/4 apex or 4/4 it? Just looking to be as defensive as possible 🙂 ty all

It’s doable if like all ur pieces have haste and flask/oil
I got 1200 myself
Maybe one piece can’t have haste tho
if u want to be tanky you go 1/4 apex
Wait
just run bsv
thats literally 95-99% of the work the 1/4 apex build does and u can run it with 4/4
This is inaccurate
did WCL yeet degenerate padding in voidspire yet?
it will probably
It should
dont know if it has yet
shit is cringe af
cuz people make bosses take longer by saving CDs for fucking adds and not bosses lol
cuz they want to LOOK better
he's lookin' to pad too duh
and he wouldn't if they yeeted add damage from rankings
Hi, wondered if anyone could help - am considering tanking in Midnight, never tanked before in my life but since I've played Fury Warrior since forever, I considered playing Prot. What would be the best way to start learning, so you don't go in and seem like a complete div in a dungeon who gets flamed by the group, guessing best to start running follower dungeons to get t he general idea down?
I understand all of the mechs now fundamentally on a DPS level but I also know there are certain tank mechanics you need to know
@jagged pier any sujection on what addon causes the issues?
Game probably doesn’t want you to be healed and have buffs because you aren’t taking all the apex talents
LMAOOOOOOOO
i have no idea i have some of them and not seen the issue myself, we need more data from ppl that do have the issue to see if u all run the same one

Can you calculate how much 4/4 5% dr is worth in a key, or sort of any encounter?
Run content without 4/4 just look at total damage taken and multiply by .05 to get an idea of apex defensive value weigh this amount against last stand / indom heal value and can gauge 4/4 apex value
What’s wrong with this/ what am I missing
Well basically
APB
There are two primary issues
First of them is as follows:
You’re the hecking feelycrafter so why are you tryna do math
Secondly: all our smart folks already told us 4/4 is better than that other build so we don’t have to
Blind faith buddy
Blind faith

If anything you should do the same key twice and tell us which one feels better
Since you are the feelycrafter
Compare the 4/4 with BSV build to the 1/4 with BSV, indom, last stand build
Yah everything I said is sort of feely cuz can’t really get exact determinations when it comes to defensive stuff
Ok I will report back when I get home
I will conduct the experiments
Home from where?!

Just jump in. Seriously. That is it. Go look at wowhead or icy-veins - grab the M+ build and go to work
what do i craft
got a good Main hand and shield?
246 wep and hero shield
Are you happy with those? do you have 4 sparks?
I would go ahead and send it on a sword and shield
its persoanly preferences/ beta coming to hit us in the ass, because the 5% dr was on the 1st apex talent in beta ppl got used to running 1/4, now its moved to 4/4 with no other changes to apex then the question is, is it still worth to take the other things, that i cant say ofr high keys, im pretty certain me sense and mwahi see no reason not to take 4/4 and i think as of yesterday the op io person was 4/4. but LS does have niches in very high keys (but u need to know what it is and when to use it), indom sure passive healing but its still not great but its not nothing, and BSV is BSV (which can be run with 4/4) but eh all those 3 will make damage feel smoother to intake i guess, even tho not really in math terms. up to the individual
as ive said the past few days i think for 99.9% of players that have made the switch / that make the switch they should just swap to BSV because that will do the lifting in keeping u alive
and ppl that have made the switch i cant confirm but im certain its BSV thats making them no die
/ not feel squishy anymore
I do like BSV
because if u arent playing the class correctly u arent getting the full use out of indom as u need to be generating and spending rage to get the full amount out of it, which alot of ppl dont do
so for top ppl yes it will do somthing but for a majoity it will be doing less and not really added value
and LS is just causing ppl to use SW incorrectly
when ppl under use it already
its encouraging ppl to use it as an oh shit button instead of a preventative button
BSV will actually help its another cd that will stop ppl dying i used it myself in AA to make the pulls a joke
Explain to me why I see some of these higher key builds dropping shield spec
i dont know
I personally wont
and i dont understand it at all
its literally like the strongest defensive talent in the game
ive seen builds where they have like BB but not shield spec
and if the aim is to be tanky
why are we taking BB
cause the fbv healing it will add, is nothing compared to the dr from shield spec
u can argue because the tuning of this season is so bad u dont need to run it like last season last tier
but blockable damage is still the most amount of damage u take in a key
but like a massive margin so y freely allow yourself to take 16% more of it
makes 0 sense
Yes I def feel like many people literally don’t even realize they moved the dr to 4/4 lol literally cursed by beta like you said
i mean u also seee top builds with ITF instead of HR which i fight every s1 cause if the goal is to be tanky
u should just be running HR
some ppl dont think 5% DR goes far, when for blockable damage its pushing just closer to damage cap
but for us 5% DR flat is just big
In my head 5% is sizable
Thats why I dont understand why in the ptr build they are nerfing Avatar and thane
its a fury nerf
I know its ptr
which insidently hits us
Why was it even nerfed for fury
but bliz just has no idea how their changes effect multuiple specs differently
Also you wanna have a fun time in Pit of saron? Take 2 fury warriors and a rogue with a resto shaman
well as the spells are not seperated by spec, even tho they can be. they arent at the moment so cant do that
anyway all these different talent builds in the end just show, that u can run any thing u want
and dungeons are more about group play than yourself and that 1 talent choice u made
Also... aug in AA .... wasnt a fan of aug in tww.... its growing on me now
My healer friend quit healing and is now gearing Aug
easy invite and less needing to try init
ok gonna give it a shot, thanks bro
start in low keys, its really low stakes
you can wipe on every pull and time it
use keystone guru for any routes you may wanna try... but its mostly press W
Hi, I haven't played WoW in a long time, and I'd like to play a Protection Warrior. Could you give me some advice on which rotation to use, or point me to a guide for people who haven't played WoW in a while? Thanks in advance.
what craft after wep/shield ?
I kinda just asked the same q above 🤣 you can get a lot of that info on WoWhead
will do cheers!
how do you analyze your tanking fails? is there a guide how to do it?
like... when i am doing m+ and i am dying. i dont have time to check death log, or the debuffs i had in the heat of the moment. how to improve?
We recommend the icy veins guide over the wowhead guide
Icy veins has a prot warrior guide that we recommend
A couple avenues you can take to analyzing your gameplay are logs and recordings
Logs give us a ton of information we can read and obviously watching a playback of your gameplay can reveal things you didn’t notice in the moment
The drawback is that both of those are things you would do after the run is over
with logs you mean... warcraftlogs.com?
Yep
alright thanks, i try to look into how to set that up
Basically shore up slots with weak gear. Many do bracers/cloak/jewelery… I did ring myself
wow thanks so much! :>
No problem. Let us know if you run into issues or have a log you’d like us to help you analyze

I like crafting bracers and cloak
Because if I max craft them with embellies I just finished two slots
Do we get nerf??
The nerf to Thane he’s referring to are for the .5 patch
and we dont know how bad its going to be yet
Ohh okay
If nothing changes prob gonna be colossus people
I heard Archon is the best to go with out of all 3? but I will check that ty
It absolutely is not
Archon is simply an aggregate site with no explanations or rhyme or reason why anything is picked
ahh ok I always heard mixed info on this, others have said "wowhead/IcyVeins don't know what they're talking about, Archon is the one" but its good to know its not the case then
The icy veins guide is written and caretaken by our very own Mwahi, who is a mod here and active in the channel
Do we use wirlwind as thane prot now??
Like rhino said, archon isnt even a guide and will teach you nothing. It shows what the top 50 (or 100?) players in a spec have talented when they last logged out, which is giga useless since they are playing a different game than the rest of the playerbase.
It’s also wild because it seems as though people are grabbing 1/4 apex builds from aggregate sites
But the current top prot warrior on raider.io is 4/4
So idk who they’re even following
Well, he was yesterday when we looked. I haven’t checked since and don’t really care to
Yup and im pretty sure it pulls their setups from logout or whatever raider.io snapshots. They could be in raid setup or anything
I will say
That guy did a 19 pit
That’s crazy to me
Week 2 and people are out here doing 19s
Ya while it doesnt change much, i think the key level tuning has subconsciously been one of the things that is making me not want to push
Idk though maybe ill push a tiny bit later on
Once i have more time to actually play other characters
Idek if i will get vaults on my warrior this week
sorry i already have a problem XD
your guide says "Step 1. Download WCL Uploader from http://www.warcraftlogs.com/"
but the only thing i can find is called "Archon App". thats a totally different thing? where can i find WCL Uploader?
this redirects to archon app :/
Warcraftlog companion
It’s not an addon it’s an app
alright, this link ultimately also redirects to the "archon app" so i assume it is the one you meant
Archon is warcraftlogs
Ya i think that’s a recent thing
Well, archon always has been warcraftlogs they just rebranded 3 years ago
I def notice that my efforts as a fury warrior are completely unnoticed
By my mates
Which is also impacting how much fun I’m having
It feels better when your plays get noticed
Oh ok, it seemed recent to me because i dont remember doing anything that said archon but i probably just never noticed before
The talent % above the logs ranks -> archon rebrand basically
We notice 
Psh
Ooooh that makes sense
still annoyed the 1 button says hit rend for thane fury
Dont u hit rend though?
as thane no
Oh as slayer?
cuz clap applies it
Ya got it
They just renamed the company from their old obscure idk name, bc they have ff logs, wcl and other stuff growing
I’m gonna level Resto shaman next
RPG Logs LLC
I would gladly tank your keys if I could
But cross ocean gaming is still a reptile technology

They should allow us to copy our characters cross regions
If they not gonna link the servers
i still hold that i think rs has the best mmo worlds system
you can just hop on whatever one you want, and then communities for runecarving just exist on that world

lol
Have shitzzard fixed the defensive stance bug yet?
What bug?
The one were some characters keep dropping the stance
Both stances, battle shout, even healing buffs like riptide and earth shield
Yep, you can see it fall off on logs
Idk does warrior disc have a known bugs page or something
some tanks said he was unable to be targed in a key resulting in his bdk tank dying and bricking the key
Im not up to date with these things sorry, i didnt even know it was happening
Is it warrior only?
We spent a while yesterday trying to figure it out
Ended up just saying post on the forums
We couldn’t figure out what was causing it
so, if this is caused by having, 47 addons, its a 2/10 clowns for blizzard and 8/10 for player cuz they set something up horribly wrong.
if its both healer and tank dont have any addons its 9/10 blizzard issue
😂 I know that unblurred gif
Oh yeah had this on my prot just yesterday as well
Someone said they fixed it by reloading ui
Absolute clown company
Which points to an addon issue but no idea tbh
Ya id start by disabling addons 1 by 1 if you have a way to repeat the problem
Although idk if addons have the ability to actually control your auras
its a shame it cant remember a fixed camera zoom distance, or hides all the list of debuffs, or chooses a default aura/stance for you.
whenever i log in
and i have to go through the process of resetting that time after time
You can control my auras
its just tedious
I wonder if something got broken trying to fight addons for the race
And now us little folk are suffering :(
We already did the basics
It was simply too random to who got it. It was confirmed to be a thing, and it was repeatable. Yet you could not get it to work recreating it on a non bugged char. Then you had the fact that bugged chars had different trigger situations, yet couldnt trigger each others
A true mess this bug situation 

just take the bug as a sign to go touch some grass, go to the gym or play a different game


John Blizzard got so mad with buffs that lura heroic is harder than most voidspire myth bosses
Insane devs berserker rage
Not the tiktok brain memory game. The intermission is one shot also
Crystals are raid breakers. Also need to soak beams in P2
