3rd boss spires just a lot going on is all, and final i dont have a great method so that everyone gets pad to jump on time

i just need to practice it

If you only do m+ and pug heroic chim/2nd boss for heroic trinkets, what should you use bonus roll on? M+ windspear for heart trink?

#

yo my first time playing a tank spec and trying to bang out some early gearing, do you guys run valeera as healer or dps in delves?

# tribal wharf 3rd boss spires just a lot going on is all, and final i dont have a great metho...

my advice =
3rd boss

  1. everytime he casts leap on ur teammates, use heroic leap to jump away - that way you will force him to jump onto you (it targets furthest player)
  2. help someone not get feared if u need, but if not needed u can just berserker rage the fear)
  3. when hes summoning mobs at 66% & 33, just aoe taunt and kill axe thrower while kicking ogre's chain lightning or spell reflect. axe thrower is more dangerous than ogre.
  4. his tank buster is physical dmg so prot warr is op

last boss

  1. use spell reflect + wall/demo for tempest slash
  2. important - try to position boss, so that you have max possible feathers for the JUMP mechanic at 100 energy,
  3. tell team before pull, that they can remove DOT by going into an arrow. dont be afraid to take arrows on lower keys, since you wont run out

went to warm up in a +10 and try my colossus build, did 107k per sec, but i didnt use wowhead build, i went full into revenge and spammed it.

lusty grotto
#

we dont use wowhead anymore

#

we use icy-veins only

tribal wharf
#

oh so its not on a timer and its based on % when he summons adds?

tribal wharf
#

well that makes things much more predictable

lusty grotto
#

always as tank in delves, go valeera dps

#

been behind on the chatter here but is it looking like the .0.5 adjustments are enough to make a shift off Thane?

#

sums it up

valid ginkgo
lusty grotto
#

dw he (yogi) wont read that

#

youre new so we dont expect you to know this

#

just a heads up

echo egret
#

what trinkets from M+ should I aim for ? I have none at hero track so far

lusty grotto
#

skyreach has the better ones

#

both are good

echo egret
#

you lie, they're a legend

lusty grotto
#

the rest are whatever, obviously puzzlebox is a great one for parsing

#

and heart of wind

#

so those are your four, including the best defensive one

echo egret
#

globule as defensive, any good ?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

solar core is the best

#

globule no bueno

echo egret
#

kk

lofty warren
#

Solar core vs heart from ws?

lusty grotto
#

why would it be vs

lofty warren
#

You can only bonus roll 1 at a time

toxic pewter
#

i would go for solar core myself personally if i had to choose

lusty grotto
#

you can roll twice

#

for M+ items, you have 2 rolls

#

for raid items, you have 1 roll

You ready to use bonus rolls in pit for neck or weapon

There needs to be one that is higher prioriryu

Ok how about this: what should use bonus rolls on?

My trinkets kinda stink and have crafted weapon 285

Thinking to use the mega 298 upgrade on weapon dont know what to bonus roll

i cant answer that, sim droptimizer

maisara is so fun, when pugs do no damage and as healer u sweat ur ass off keeping everyone alive lmao

tribal wharf
daring marlin

Maisara owns

tribal wharf
#

i dont appreciate that thank you

#

okay, because i was getting scared, what if the dps dies, or slows down and now he does the summon adds like 10 times

drowsy comet
# naive ravine Litterally any key?

Maisara +10, Prot Pala was 252 ilvl and was REALLY struggling between packs. We somehow had 2 frost mages and 1 Havoc DH, man DHs are struggling to deal damage bruh, especially on single target either that or he doesnt know his rotation idk

tribal wharf
#

but now i understand it can only happen twice,

#

How come heart from ws is talked about but not hook or void contract?

tribal wharf
#

you can speak about me if you want but you cant speak for me

drowsy comet

#

idk where youre getting these numbers from but use raidbots not liquid's just in case they arent calculating tank penalty on dps items

daring marlin
#

when healers are trash(always)

lofty warren
lusty grotto
#

you cannot see it in wowhead no

#

raidbots does account for it

tribal wharf
#

@lusty grotto okay, you've made your point clear, like 100 times now

echo egret
#

what is this tank penalty ?

tribal wharf
#

the meme is getting old and stale

drowsy comet

#

we've done this

drowsy comet

lusty grotto
#

since DF

#

33% less

echo egret
#

all of them ? or how do you know which ?

torn gulch
#

something like that

lusty grotto
#

the ones that specifically drop for dps

#

which include contract

echo egret
#

aaah ok

lusty grotto
#

and the hook

#

which is why we dont open vault as dps

lofty warren
#

Ur telling me that the liquid profile for pwar trinkets doesnt use a profile that includes tank penalty?

daring marlin
#

Where are your parents?

lusty grotto
#

because the good trinkets also drop for tank (gaze, plumes, etc)

valid ginkgo
#

imo just duo heart of wind & solarflare prism, if u dont have hc access to dreamrift for gaze.

tribal wharf
#

hard for me to say the dps trinkets i would want to take if i had choices

#

but not hook because low range in previous versions of it

naive ravine

so u just go into raid and reroll

drowsy comet

jagged pier
#

that might wrong as i said from what ive been told

#

the rerolled are all myth ilvl

lofty warren
#

Bonus roll gives myth 1/6 if ur in a m+ 10 or higher

echo egret
#

including from hero raids ???

jagged pier
#

well that i dont know

#

but as m+ drops hero u can presume they hc raid might too

drowsy comet
lusty grotto
#

as far as we know only keys do myth tracks

#

not heroic raids

#

myth raids = myth track

but im not an expert on the game as nim will point out over and over

if u dont have access to ancient hunger + gaze, id go solarflare & heart of wind from m+ and use coins there to get myth track. those are good trinkets

For the lurkers, the track of the rerolled item is equal to the great vault reward track you'd do from that level of content. Heroic bosses will give hero gear. M+ 10 or higher give myth gear

There are 10 items in the Seat loot pool for Arms/Fury warrior (11 for Prot), so it would take a MAXIMUM of 5 weeks to get gloves if you just send the weekly 2 rolls in seat, 6 if you went prot spec

or any raid for that matter

If you give up your vaults and choose a reroll over a socket each week, it would take a maximum of three weeks and three dead vaults

Like the fact that you should spec Fearless for Seat and berserker rage chains on first packs are huge advice, but berserker rage is not mentioned in icy veins

The question was about being new to and learning prot warrior, and going straight to watching videos of people doing 16s and grabbing builds from top logs is a great way to mess yourself up in terms of learning

#

The only tanks I’ve played are bear, prot paladin and VDH. Is warrior harder than those?

@lusty grotto but using spear in the dungeons that have stack buildup from trash bleed ex. How much of a penalty is that to spec into? Or just play the jump away game

lofty warren
#

If ur trinkets are straight up 💩 and ur doing chim should your loot spec be tank or dps?

Dps loot spec means you can roll need on the dps trinket that is still an upgrade but means that your contributing to the chance the dps trink dropping?

toxic pewter

ngl, that dps trinket off chim is not great for prot, but alas sim it all and I guess make an educated decision

lusty grotto

just dont talent crackling in seat

and do not kite

#

Oh they are cc immun damnsadge well good to know @lusty grotto

#

Why not crackling

lusty grotto
#

because slow

lofty warren
#

Dps trink is an upgrade. The question is "should you set your loot spec to dps so you can roll for it if it drops or set it to tank spec to remove it from the loot pool but also you cant roll for it if it drops"?

1/4 builds are 💩 and have been since forever:

Second screenshot shows the differences between 4/4 Apex builds and the 1/4 Apex "cursed build" that everyone asks about when looking at aggregate sites:

  1. A standard BSV build is taken as base (swapping only EA for BSV), this build is obviously 4/4 Apex.
  2. A 4/4 Apex build with LS, Indom and BSV and trading Bloodsurge (BS), Enduring Alacrity (EA), Focused Vigor (FV) at only a 2.2k dps loss.
  3. A 4/4 Apex build with LS, Indom and BSV and trading Tough as Nails (TaN), Enduring defenses (ED) and Focused Vigor (FV) at only a 2.7k dps loss.
  4. Finally, the 1/4 Apex build loses 5% damage reduction and has a massive 15.5k dps loss, putting you in both an offensive and defensive disadvantage at all times.

The first (on the left) screenshot shows a variation of #2 and #3 showing that you can pick BSV, LS and Indom without dropping 4/4 Apex. That being said, do not use these if youre not rank 1 pushing or past key levels 18 and up: it will hurt you pugging lower keys since youll do less dps/agro/threat - if you're worried about defensiveness then use a BSV build instead, swapping either Enduring Alacrity or Bloodsurge for it.

For rage gain instigate is superior to bloodsurge, except on big target counts so adjust as needed and per key - if you're gonna be kiting more than melee'ing consider bloodsurge instead.
