like i can dance out of ground effects while facing enemies np, even in very small areas, but while i do that it's hard to use certain other keybinds
Because of my fingers
they can't be everywhere
Sure they can be a pimp WoW player and play with your feet
then your hands are free
What in the
kill it with fire
i also once knew an arcane mage who played strictly with mouse and numpad
due to the unfortunate circumstance of having only one arm
dude wasnt bad either
Tbf, I don't think keyboard layout really mattwrs
If you use a Dvorak all the time then you know the layout and would just have different muscle memory than someone who uses qwerty
It will revolve around the same logic-> binds around your equivalent of WASD
i have everything bound to my neurochip and i just think spell names
I have everything bound to one button rotation and just mash it
With an eye tracker for camera movement
macro shield block and ignore pain into OBR
And i say vroom to move forward
and avatar
i remember when they added OBR, someone in the bear discord was doing runs with their team where everyone only used 6 binds, 1 for OBR and 5 of their choosing to run keys. It was kinda neat ngl, fun ltitle challenge
I feel like that isnt enough of a challenge tbh
5 extra binds is too many
Actually hmm
Kick, 1-2 for cd macros, 1-2 for defensives
See you'd think 5 is too many but when you factor in defensives and util
It can be tight
What does that do
it moves the glow
Considering I join a key as fury, and due to my IO be immediately asked to tank 
hey guys, how would you feel if they replaced thunderclap with whirlwind?
would be a very strange decision
nothing would really change, would be more visual thing i think
everything would change
because whirlwind does not have added range
crackling would be dead
they could add all this to whirlwind
if they ctrl+F tc amp talents, that'd be the biggest issue
They also have a whole hero talent tree based around TC 
and if they dont ctrl+f tc amp talents, then there's a bigger problem
its pointless
irrational even
yeah no longer Mountain Thane, more like whirlwinder
for thane they could keep TC, similar how fury uses TC instead of whirlwind
could just transform the skill
i dont see the point
Why would you want to replace aoe stomp thats like the best ability
Thunder Clap is an iconic warrior ability
dates back to warcraft 3
I guess whirlwind is too from blademaster but yeah people love thunder clap its a beloved ability would make no sense removing it
other skill that could be replaced by whirlwind would be revenge i guess
why do you want whirlwind so bad
I hope they will do a hero talent which is revert thane, ww on prot
prune from arms, tc for thane prot/fury, ww for colo prot and fury 
idk just thinking about it, what could make prot warrios "cool"
i'm thinking from a design perspective what could be done to help with tank shortage....
making some cool changes to tank specs would be a small thing, but would help
does dps warr still have shield block and slam for some reas
lol no
not even same plane of existence as why people dont tank
its the leader/responsbility not spec flavor
nor theme
if anything, they should delete WW from low lvl prots
prot warr already is cool
^
what if there was some crazy ability that allowed you to mitigate or perhaps even "block" spells and magic-based damage...
That too
spec flavor has a part of it, and it's easier to solve.
it will not solve the problem alone, but everything helps
maybe we could call it spell block
lame
Tank shortage is due to tanking keys is ASS for the mental
too much overlap with reflect
lol they literally just pruned this at the end of war within unless u being sarcastic and I missed it
How does block/armor values interact with incoming spell damage for pwar if at all?
why do you hurt us so
you got it with the edit 😉
im sorry nim its too soon for me too i just cant cope with the algethar axes
Prot war is fine 
Atleast playing prot warr is only chads. The true people plays prot warr.
Huh
one thing is... a good part of players play normal/heroic raids with guilds... and there is not much room for tanks there.
the current numbers i saw was 10% of players are tanks, that matches the raid scenario (not the m+ where we need 20% of tanks)
making it easier for people to swap from dps/tank specs would be also nice
but a lot of players play for fantasy/transmog, some visual updates to tanks would help
why is whirlwind the focus point here? fury uses TC, arms uses cleavce, why whirlwind
slayer uses WW, thats it
speaking as someone that attempts to push in m+ as tank/prot but is forced to play fury for my very casual raid guild its pretty ass trying to gear for both at the same time and feels like shit
just a tought.
people tend to like skills that spins, spin to win is real
Slayer prot 
bring back glad stance
glad stance would be amazing
Yeah it’s just a fury spell
If pwar has 100 armor and takes 10 pre-mitigation spell damage vs has 1000000 armor and takes 10 pre-mitigation spell damage, does the damage the pwar takes differ between these 2 cases?
unless there is some talent for armor to spell dmg reduction im missing it would make no difference
Imp ww on prot, one day
No, armor has no bearing on magic damage intake.
the character panel says physical damage reduction only for armor
What stat makes pwar take less spell damage excluding spell reflect?
Vers
fight through the flames / spellbreaker
100000000000000 amor will give you more STR... and with more str you will have bigger IP for the magic damage maybe?
it's a unrealistic scenario tho

and demo shout ig
you're not wrong here
haste mastery will help you with more ip for magic dmg.
haste mastery and crit will help you heal the magic dmg via leech, fueled by violence (haste will also work on indom)
haste will also give you more intmidating shout
versa will do more for magic damage than anything i guess
but it's not like you need, our defensives are usually enough
Armor gives you strength? Pr youre saying that if you have that much armor you would need to have big ilvl gear which thus will give you more str
so the solution to the loss of spell block is to reach ilvl 900 got it
thoughts on that talent in the top right that gives more magic dr?
fortunately they balanced well after removing spell block, they just seem to have forgotten to tune in midnight for it but what can you expect from blizzard
in some dungeons like NXP you can take this over the armor one...
but doesnt really make that difference
true i didnt have an issue with it in TWW
to be honest def stance already reduces magic dmg a lot compared to other tanks
We are tuned around sitting in def stance
i feel like magic dmg is not that big deal for prot... bleeds are the biggest weakness
I was halfway through a + 15 seat and wondering why i was taking so much damage until I realized I was in dps stance. Unrelated
People that say magic damage is weakness just don’t know the spec very well lol
bleeds or magic dots that basically act like bleeds
but just straight up incoming magic damage is not usually the end of the world
When the guys in seat charge me I thought those gave a bleed but dwarf racial didnt remove
usually the solution is to just play better but i wont be doing that im just going to complain and blame blizzard
it's not tagged as bleed
you shouldnt be getting charged by those guys outside of maybe at the very start of the pull
can spell reflect the knockback
that reflect is nice
I've been working to not get charged in seat. I always want to pull move bc 1x pull with 4 mobs feel small
also reflecting the 3rd coss is nice
How many pulls is everything done before boss 1?
3
can you just pull the other packs first?
first pull is the three groups in the front with lust
2nd left chains
3rd right chains
and transition into boss if you want
without getting charged
I've been doing everything before boss 1 in 3 pulls
yes, thats how most of us do it
has anyone been able to consistently do 3 chain packs with lust at the start of seat or is that impossible in real keys
3 subjugators that is
its possible
With the extra trash above the stairs on the left
but the team needs to know how to burn down the little void eles
and need to ultra coordinate movement slow removals
Can you use bsv for that pull on purpose?
no reason to do such a pull anyway
yeah that's maso
oh no on warrior too
you can on warrior i think
The same thing will happen if you leap in the middle of a pack
yeah that's what i was saying
3rd boss seat, reflect is so nice
they kicked some, but i awlways ask for no kicks there
my dps are always blazed out their gourds so even when i tell them in vc right before the cast not to kick they do it anyways
Is that df?
ahaha
no thats a beyblade dropping into the arena below the boss room

ask stupid questions...
it's a small screen
and i didn't fight that boss ever so
it looked like mimiron to me at first
well me personally i forgive you
dont forget this one happy
53 Vues - Regarde Le sauvetage d'Happy de Floflotte et des millions d'autres vidéos World of Warcraft sur Medal. #worldofwarcraft
I have that one of me but it’s not good cropped
Among 10 clips of me pressing demolish on vanguards and eating a shield
Im dps in raid
Im dps in raid

The hammer don’t hurt but the shield is death/health pot
Hey what's the fastest way to file my vault?? I should still get 6 tokens right?
Fill lol
hunts and delves probs
ritual sites even
8 delves/preys/rituals is three world event slots, which can be a reroll
if you dont care about whats in the vault itself, you can run like a random heroic, lfr 2 bosses, and run 2 delves/prey/etc
thats three slots, so 6 tokens
if i recraft stuff to Haste/mastery instead of haste/crit. is that very bad as defensive goes?
It's better for fury too
should be fine
mastery and crit are both physical dmg reduction
so they're close either way
Vs flame talons lol
character deleted, you say?
no parry=instant death
next week is no timewalk right?
i think of levelling a shaman quickly
before reset
pretty much yes no timewalking
shit
Man the day is too short
i need to work tomorrow -.-
but at least friday's a holiday
german WÖRK day
is a holiday
When is labor day in the us?
September 7, 2026
we get memorial day in about a month
Total random here but I played fury up to 2900 io and got totally tired of other tanks taking their sweet time and pulling horribly so I swapped to prot for the first time ever yesterday and two chested a couple 10s and I gotta say
Prot is so much fun
Prot is a baller tank fo sho
Hit people with your shield and yell at them
whats not to love
why is revenge a talent if it's impossible to drop it? x.x
The illusion of choice
Some specs have their whole top gate locked, it is what it is
If you really examine the talent trees you will realize that for all of the talents on three, you really have very little agency in them
Blizz has a vision for how you play and the talent trees are built to funnel you into that
i mean literaly impossible
yeah
that's the intent
The talent trees are designed in such a way to funnel you into grabbing specific talents in specific tiers. That's why the talent gates exist
If you tell people “this is how you play” they will complain
Basically, you get choice in how you level up, and at max, you have a few "utility" points to spend, but you'll generally be literally required to grab the bare necessities
If you design a talent tree that seems like you have agency but you don’t, no one will complain because most people won’t ever think at that level
The illusion of choice
Was basically the entire premise of the matrix
It's to ensure people can't literally brick a character by skipping things like Revenge/Demo Shout and other equivalents on other specs, but still have room for choice
is the omission of light set worth it? i have Light one on mythic
What if I just choose to play with no talents
That's why I say your talent choices, ultimately, won't make a super drastic difference because you're basically required to grab necessary spells and talents. There might be better, but
That is possible, along with playing a class without a spec at all
it generally takes non-zero effort to set up, though
i just tried spaming whirlwind instead of revenge on dummies, and it's shit but looks so cool
whirlwind animation and sounds is so much better
just make a weakau... wait
just mod the game files and don't get caught to swap anims and sounds, it's so easy?
i mean someone like 2 expansions ago made a weakaura that played the cleave sounds and played its animation when u pressed revenge
I have a macro that shows the thunderclap icon for whirlwind when I play slayer fury because my brain is tiny and I can’t handle change

hi sirs, any repository to tell us best m+ to use our rolls on?
this is my alt and I am trying to gear it quick
Whatever dungeon has the most upgrades mr bezos
You can run a droptimizer sim on raidbots if you want a hard answer
you'd think jeff bezos could just buy a fully geared account
mr bezos wants to enjoy the game dammit
the joy of gearing
Also they updated the text for the ritual site renown 
LMAO
This is my favorite
but now it's really not clear which of these is the first thing i should know
i really want to know what the room looked like when they were writing the original descriptions
Like how many approvals did those get
I kinda get the whole "wanting it to sound like a scouting report/tounge-in-cheek" vibe but also yikes
it smacks of "one overzealous designer wrote all these and never ran them past anyone" to me
and yeah. they were trying to have fun, put a little bit of flavor in there. but tragically, cannot write
"Did anyone write up the renown reward descriptions for the new ritual rep?" "Yeah steve got it I think" "alright cool send it"
"steve just described the rewards at each tier in a normal way, right?"
"probably"
"thats what we told him to do"
What the heck is a void theme accessory
decor
Until the void gheme thing gives me 5% magic dr I not care
its a pretty small dps increase, if you can get both myth rings go for it, but don't tunnel vision them
rings are just rings, and accessories do not have a massive stat pool
so dont prio them over other stuff
I committed the free rolls to npx so I may as well fish for the other ring now that I have one of them
that's so interesting. i don't really want to buy a skateboard
It won’t matter for atleast another week because my crests are going to better sources than ring with tomorrows reset

Why nim talks about getting the skyreach trinket if void stalkers is higher on the tier list?
Are you talking about solarflare?
dont take the bait
https://liquidarmory.com/trinket-tracker?wowClass=Warrior&wowSpec=Protection
And here this AA trinket shows as being higher than solar prism
I checked and dont think the AA trinket gets dps only penalty for tanks either
How is it bait if what you say "solar prism is the m+ teinket to get" doesnt match what iv or the liquid thing shows. I changed liquid to Mt 5 targets and void stalkers shows up higher than solar prism.
Im just trying to figure out which dungeon has best trinket to use bonus roll on
I read both and the only thing i can think of is "void stalkers has a weird on use effect that may not get full value" while solar prism is better when enemy is low hp so its good in execute and that itself gives it "hidden value" more than the raw dps of void stalkers. Is that right?
2 weapons drop from skyreach so even though the trinket is not best should roll skyreach tp get myrh weapons for 298 upgrade. Now its right?
no
because there's only one weapon in skyreach, not two
unless you're adding shield
Yes 1x weapon 1x shield
Ok the only other reason I can think of is that void stalkers or solar is bugged. Otherwise dont know why bonus roll for solar prism instead of void stalkers
I like damage :)
Bc solar is passive and doesnt require Brian power?
nope
keep going
just to be specific there's two trinkets that start with solar, so make sure you meant the right one
solar core and solar flare
Solarflare prism is the only one that shows up on liquid dps list
you said solar core
oh bah
im wrong
disregard all of that
its as simple as
contract has tank penalty
flare does not
so sim and figure it out
that's not the purpose of that trinket
If void stalkers has dps penalty then prism probably better. Plus skyreach drops weapon slots. Therefore should bonus roll in skyreach since im not myth raid
entirely up to you
contract does sim high in aoe, despite the tank penalty
but not as high as prism in ST
What do i care about st if all im doing is m+
Are disc priests in a very very bad spot atm ? I ran a 15 with on,e and I've never felt so endangered in season 1.
because you ST in m+
bosses are a thing
Well sure on some bosses but if you sim for m+ you do it on 5 targets?
depends if they are used to the changes
disc was strong when played well last week, they got nerfed
if they are playing like last week, they won't do well
health dropping and going back up so slowly
they need to play shielding
oh because they could play differently ?
atonement got nerfed
so they cant rely on it fully
they need to shield pre shield pre mit
etc
Nimchimp if you could have solarflare prism or void stalkers and you do m+ which would you pick
hey how come i cant add the spikes to my shield am i missing something?
They fixed it because it wasn’t intended to be a thing
it used to work before the patch
but it does jack shit for damage anyway
so youre not missing anything
Has it been confirmed crafted only go to 295?
confirmed no, but its our speculation
since crafted is always 3 ilvl lower than max ilvl myth items
They updated it to not be applicable to new shields, and I think the effect doesn’t even work anymore on shields that had it
god damn it. almost timed a +273 skyreach except i didn't do 18 damage sometimes when i blocked
Okay but what if the boss was at 18 hp and that last block would’ve killed it and everyone else was dead and it was just you and you didn’t have a gcd
Checkmate
Liberal
So it had 99 problems and 18 were hos
lol
this is literally what happened to me. weirdly no one was logging it but i'm still gonna take blizzard to court for turning off my shield spike
where my 17dam shieldspike
What is 4 if not 3 plus a little
i don't need to care anymore
i have myth shield and weapon now
just need to git gud
seat loot is a psyop
Just get the gloves from vault 4heat
well i can use close to every item in seat
so why bother with anything else
when in tank spec the only thing unusable for me is the bad of the two rings
and it's not even really bad
still a myth ring
Because then you have to do seat a bunch 
it grew on me
It’s not my least fav by any margin but holy fuck pushing a seat is a nightmare
Finally get into a group for an 18, tank eats shit because of the charges
i just do 10
Abandon gg nt
the charges don't even hurt
I don’t need a 10 seat I need an 18 
but i only ate 1 in the entire run i think
Warrior can literally avoid every charge if you play well
smh my damn head
warr in my 18 seat didnt taunt reflect second last boss the coward
i ddin't play well then
taunt reflect?
ya hits so hard
oh the off warrior
ya wasn't tankin on warr
Imagine dying on last boss and the group abandoned in a 14 seat. That was me last night
Mfer DPS ate a beam and didn't hit a ball and I died
That last boss SLAPS tanks
You can spell reflect the lance
.... I need to look up my SR's
That would help lol
But yeah the boss stacks a buff and then after three stacks she sends the lance, can be reflected
Last boss has been murdering my groups
Yeah all the other bosses are pretty clear and then Lura is a mess
luras room is a mess
People can't put beam on big boi
ya that dmg looks insane actually
As a lil priest I’m hanging on for DEAR LIFE the whole fight
I started gearing my mut rogue
cloak that boss
lura is a resto druid fight isnt it?
just hot everything and gg
everyone takes damage all the time anyways
Death bolt is a 10 second cast… is there a way to kick it solo as a tank so I can reflect it when I want?
Any ever try that?
just kick early the first one then on cd
and fall back to disrupting if kick wont be up during the cast
dont use javelineer it doesnt work
On it. Trying to get that spike in DPS
Good luck with DPS listening to you lmao
Ugh you’re right. Who am I kidding lol
still no glove lol
I tried this and was laughing when someone died
starting to think its not worth pug pushing on warrior lol. no one invites you past +18s 
i dunno how the hell, but i did the opening right other than send a TB
i got my avatar up, demo, and aoe taunt and then i hit shield charge and paladi n gets aggro and dies anyways lol
Ret palis love pulling instantly
It drives me insane that blizz default plates show red for mobs in tank threat
can't even use them to see off tank agro in raids
I swear they were made by the intern last summer and he left in fall
lol another minute added to AA
at this rate they will reach 32 min again like it was supposed to be
true story
Do you have a precise way to reflect them all. I've been pressing reflect as soon as Lura gets 3 stacks and it seems to work for the most part so I can reflect every lance. Wondering if you have a better way
anyone notice that shockwave does not stun leech veil in NPX?
There’s a “free tank coaching” thread up on Reddit lol as a result of toxicity towards tanks but Pwars and vdh aren’t allowed. Our jobs are safe for now don’t worry 
yes, you have to use fear for that, only ccs that deal no damage
or maybe im confusing it
nope, its leech veil
I got downvoted into oblivion for posting data that shows tank balance is actually decent
Which thread
storm bolt and shield charge interrupt it.
war stomp.
fear
but shockwave not so much. seems odd
r prot warriors pretty strong right now and do we think we will be stronger soon?
interesting, cause the mob gets a damage immunity
anyone know a good dmg rotation for prot my dps is really low i feel
Prot wars are fine and yes they will be stronger soon, every week as you get new gear
we cannot answer the 2nd question, but warriors are capable
yes, the icy-veins guide
please link this
Second most popular tank more or less, but brew is fotm
If you're doing anything below like +19 you will have no issues at all playing prot
I mean
He’s got credibility and if you read his thread he’s not being toxic
Dude is just offering to help lol
thats fine
That help may be terrible
ah, warrior and vdh are just the specs he doesn't play
🤷
i thought he was like "specs i don't like NEED NOT APPLY"
My immediate assumption was those were the specs he didn't play
Off work finally 
Why assume toxicity instead of the much more reasonable explanation
Gym time 
because of rhino's funny phrasing
why assume toxicity in my assumption
GOTTEM
You do spam IP though
I just thought it was funny because we get to keep our jobs
yeah idk about toxicity other than people mass downvoting good argumetns
And downvote you for saying “look at all of this data supporting my point”
Reddit: “that’s fake news”
The only correct news is news that supports my world view
You’d fit right in on Reddit
Use an IP macro that cancelauras IP
/u/ispamignorepain
ive been baited
Yes, but sarcasm is hard to read on the internet
They’re def baiting
goddamn it
Did uh, anything actually change this season in terms of how we play? I still haven't touched the game since last October
no
/cast Shield Block
/cancelaura Shield Block
/say “Healers adjust”
My favorite.
i mean the macro was pretty obvious, but the "we do spam IP thing" wasn't, because we've had that sort of people here (and in reddit)
I mean we sort of do spam it hey
Considering how high rage gen is atm
We press it like once every four seconds
Every paragraph we write gets auracanceled by another sentence of "Keep IP up all the time"
Ye, ip is spammed. 
I can’t wait for the pwar rework
Yeah we do still press it a lot, the common reddit opinion just seems to be "if you're taking damage and have rage, be pressing IP"
I like how Colo plays
so we all twitch when someone says "spam IP" lol
Don't rework it
yeah its always spam IP over "hey are you keeping SB up?"
i also like colossus
Wasn't our APM highest in TWW S1? At least since like, heroic strike
Are you keeping SB up
Better question is are you facing the mobs so you can actually block
I don’t like any wow specs anymore
right
tww s3 probably brought us back above s1 levels of spam despite the s2 rework
I got XD LMAO'd in a 15 pit when I pressed demolish and rotated 180 degrees
just from max haste and the tier set
DF rage gen was faster, so it depends on talent interactions really and haste
And got axed in the back by 15 mobs
She casts it on a delay of like 3-5 seconds after getting the third stack. I usually hit SR when she gets that stack or right after and it nails it
Ah word, I think this forum has proven that I have literally zero memories of DF gameplay anymore atp
Yo we got free coach tanking now I hear?
Not for us
the way to solve the issue is to spike blizz data centers and HQ with a meteor
if no content to tank, no tank problems
the only way you can solve the whole tank "situation" is to... AHEM, get rid of roles and make everyone a tank and a healer
Well it isn’t solvable by blizzard I don’t think
tanking for pugs is like something you'd be sentenced to as a punishment
and that won't play well with people
People just need to not suck
Better idea. They get rid of playable tanks and healers and have an npc tank/healer in every form of instances content you’re stuck with
issue with lfg is that it's people who dont have people to play with
usually because of their issues as a human

or player
Captain Garreth or whatever can tank every key
i mean its not just that
Issue solved
what if they just throw a skin on the dps so i can not know they exist and they give me 25k at the end
ya its rly hard to get 5 people who work well together
similar skill level
workable comp
schedule
etc
idk it’s an MMORPG and people don’t want to put any effort into the MMO part and then don’t get why they don’t get all the RPG rewards
it is very hard 
its because coordination takes time
and most people do not have time
its not because they want to SP
"i dont have time" people say as they sit in lfg for 10 hours
right
No they really do want single player
sure because in SP your time is your own
i remember some warr saying he didnt have the time to play 3s so he played 4500 rounds of shuffle instead which is the equiv of lfging like 1000 push keys
there's a certain peace in being able to hop on whenever and do what you wanna do
instead of like the scheduled 8 pm raid
its not that they want SP because of being SP
wish we had soloq keys just so each spec had its own ladder
i mean, sure there are people like that but they do not do keys
that guy is getting dunked by the typical WoW idiot
r.io checking him and shit
i read his comments now, hes actually giving okay advice
As a dps player I say with zero hyperbole that if tank rotations were more interesting and they did damage on par with dps in group play, tanks would be the most popular role
Problem fixed instantly
I wondered why
thats actually a good idea
then saw his exp cited is prepatch
imagine our animations just dropped CoD nukes on screen
so ya I can see that 
fucking RDM LB flashbanged the shit out of the group
ok that'd be bad
but make it the flashiest shit ever
japanese cartoon like or some shit
duel of the fates, arathor in that one cinematic, dbz speed slapping the shit out mobs
wow guides are weird more often than not i just see them nitpicked nonstop
seems tiresome to even bother
honestly, does it matter?
if youre actually giving good advice, thats more than enough
hes not trying to give advice to r1s
who knows tho might b good info
just like we're not trying to give advice to r1s in here
his point is to get people to tank
he could have put "hey im 3k every season" and he could have gotten even more shit by ego fueled redditors
and it would have been enough for what he wants to help with
most people ive known to be scared to get into tanking just didnt know what to do about routing
and go past that just having them w key between bosses then figure the exact count and which packs to avoid later
It's not just routing, there are also many mechanics that are tank heavy
E. G. Positioning the boss on fights like MT Arcanotron and NPX Kasreth
Talking about the lack of tanks in pub groups, yeah
Maybe the tanks all made friends 
Like the goonies
Youre coming with me
I did some vaults and got told im awesome at what i do
And i didnt respond

Real talk though tanks have the privilege of choosing or hosting
And there are a whole lot of undesirable groups listed
People expecting carries in some way, bringing very under qualified friends etc
Tanks are getting into groups, just not the gross looking ones
right
there's a similar thing in pvp with healers
And when its 3 dps sitting in a group, what happens if the tank has a friend
i agree with all of you
really imbalanced ratio
and yeah people sittin there with a full group lf a tank
SKIP
I only play with my friends
its just not solvable
Yup no solution
you can't change people's very varied resistance to going tank
It’s not a problem with the game tbh, theyd have to completely change how tanks were in a way that more people wanted to tank than dps
Give more classes tank specs, make tanks do more damage and have better rotations. Problem solved
unless you just delete the tanking role and then the healer role will face the same problem
Give us shaman tank and evoker tank and rogue tank
It isn’t the tank specs that are the issue
Tank rotation isnt the problem, people still struggle with it
Tanking isnt about the rotation
make tanks do same damage as dps and more sweats will go tank - just limit 1 tank per dungeon and 2 for raid
The issue is people
I doubt it
And you can’t fix people
Having a more interesting rotation will encourage people to play, the reason I resisted tanking was because I hated MT prot so much
What spec has an interesting rotation rn
A lot of what drives dps players is competition and i dont personally think adding competition between tank and the dps is healthy
There are also just way more dps specs than tank specs in general
There’s literally 5 other tank specs though, adding more tanks won’t magically make people tank more, because the issue isnt rotation or flavor or anything, it’s the pressure of being the tank
its not one thing
More coggy load onto the rotation isnt the solution i can assure you that. Itd be worse
I guarantee you that increasing the number of classes that can tank will increase the number of tanks
also the fact that you need to be an absolute chad with balls of steel and a jaw that can chisel ice to be a real tank
Not really.
Give the option to play an easy rotation and a hard rotation then
Literally MT vs Colo
I don’t think adding pres as a healing spec made more people want to heal. It just added another healer
also tank scarcity is not a WoW specific problem
Colo isnt complex
nearly capped out on myth crest
People don't not tank because they can't be a mage tank.
Colossus isn’t a hard rotation 
Eh, pres very unique healer.
Yeah yeah I know >implying the video game is hard
Pres feels like their idea for evoker as a class and dev was like a "we have to give it a dps spec".
But compare it to MT
Ye?
And an easy vs hard option just increases the divide between levels of player. Blizz already is trying to reduce the gap from skill floor to ceiling
Kind of a reach to say that colo is hard innit
People just don't want the responsibility of being a tank. No amount of classes or rotation or damage or tankyness will change that.
But Pres existing didn’t suddenly solve the issue of healer shortages. I’m sure a few people picked up healing because Pres appealed to them, but that’s not what solves a shortage
GNB has a hugely more fun and complex rotation than the other tanks in FFXIV, guess which one the majority of people play when they tank? The simple one WAR - the game still has tank shortage
How is it a reach to say colo isnt hard
The complicated rotation doesn't need to be massively stronger
Yerrr.
Just more interesting
It's like how most people don't wanna lead a raid instead of just joining one.
I was playing Colo even when it was weaker because I hated MT
interesting is subjective
How you hating thane
this is your personal take
GNB is very popular though?
You could give every class a tank spec, won’t make dps suddenly want to tank. If I try to make any of my raids dps mains swap to a tank spec they freak the fuck out
colo worst thing ever they should've just added slayer to prot
I like thane because i like the apm and thunder, everyone has preferences
If anything I feel like GNB is the most popular tank among tank mains
GNB - giga nerd buster
Gunbreak dn
ive noticed if it has cloth or mail armor it cant be a tank
classic doesnt count
I'm honestly shocked at these numbers
I haven't played FFXIV since Stormblood so I haven't had the pleasure of playing a GNB.
i mean people do like PLD
I was sure it'd be GNB>WAR>PLD>DRK
i feel like monk could've easily been cloth
plus PLD was broken for a bit on the start of 2nd tier (or was it 3rd?)
I also wonder how much the tank shortage has to do with how tanking is in raid on top of limited available slots
Seeing pld at double war numbers fucks with my head
dang nerf gunbreaker
raid tanking is funny every guild has their 2 tanks who've been there since the obama admin
and dungeon groups fightin for their life to find one
uh
1.5k players aren't human
thats actually a good point (if only we had 10m raiding
)
feels the same to me except 3k is like they have a few myth pieces
3k players are barely human
well i mean like, doesnt kick the marbles, dances left right all over on pull 1 seat
30 min dungeon and my npc ret has kicked 1 unimportant cast
too much variety in the <vault range
Dps not kicking casters to help group triggers me so fucking badly
I haven't ever stayed in a guild that long. Couple years maybe but not a decade.
Especially dks not gripping
ya dks sittin there hitting a big target not grippin any adds in cos it means changing targets woo
Weave it during a GCD, it is not hard
And increases dps because it makes it easier to cleave
God it triggers me
gripped mob dps doesnt show on meters therefore dks dont think its real
we need a raid buff
despite grip doing more dmg than a raid buff
woot
give warriors grip and lust and brez
meter brainrot
I think it’s very easy to call everyone bad but do realize that even you started somewhere
Especially when I have ten things to juggle as a tank and yet it's still my job to charge the mob, kick it, and charge back
I came out of the womb a gamer
Picmixer’s excluded
ya 10 man raidin was fun
True, but I was bad more than a decade and a half ago
I haven't been a truly shit player since wotlk
whats pash's char look like im curious
it is better to go for extra super BIS or for the thing that has the most upgrades? trying to figure out if I should bonus roll the skyreach for 2x weapons + solar prism or seat for the trinket
in what regard
And the game is more complex now with veteran players mostly unwilling to help new players, just calling them npcs
I'm not angry at people playing the game for the first time, I'm angry at 280ilvl 3k io players who don't use their buttons
just wow char
why is it always new players
when it's usually stubborn bad veteran players who wouldn't listen to anything
This is my warband rn, priest is my prog main
I died because the healer didn't babysit me!!!
No dipshit you died because you didn't use defensives or health pots and ate shit to a dot that ticked you out over 5 seconds
They dont have to be new to the game, but new to higher content etc
Have you tried nicely helping somebody
ya
I really like mag'har as a race, and mag'har shadow priest has some cool lore/backstory you can make with it too which i appreciate
way more than i should've tbh
doesnt even know the charge mechanic exists i bet
ya those charges own
Personally I'd go for BiS since you'll want to get there eventually regardless
I think this outlook, which more than a couple of people have, is another reason why people are scared to try tanking or get turned off of it
I'm def considering race swapping though because normal orc is just better for spriest, and drac/goblin gives a nice mobility boost
no balls

idk though sense doesnt play it
classic case of copy paste talent building
i would say
maybe scott played it and people were like "ctrl+c"
wat stat prio is best for prot ive seen different ones
read the icy veins guide
it has answers to that question, and the one you made before
Haste is yum.
fck i didnt want it to go through
you know mods can see deleted messages right?
whatever i didnt want to idc if they can see
its not like I posted anything naught or advertise
and if you didn't, well you gon learn today
not having pepega ignored 
Did i miss some tea
your just not a man of cutlure
nimchimp im bonus rolling skyreach just like you said
Are there any stand out races for prot warrior aside from dwarf? I love stoneform but I'm getting tired of all the transmogs looking stumpy and squished
dark iron dwarf
Dark iron dwarf is good too

gift of the naaru is nice
gift of the die to bleed
Id say tauren has decent value now too
whatever makes you happy
I like human
But ya whatever u think is cool for sure
draenei also give the very small strength buff
but im also a fan of dwarves
nelf is really good to
especially for DPS
and if you like PVP gnome and orc
I was thinking void elf
Or human
But perhaps stoneform is too powerful to leave
Dwarfn't
Dwarf (burnt), Night Elf, honorable mention to Vulpera
i never said you should roll on skyreach
my stance has always been run droptimizer
because it depends on your own actual gear
and what x or y player need
yea but running 8 sims too much of a pita
friend ran sims then coined the same bad piece twice
more like too much of a naan

You should be ashamed of yourself. But also I love you.
just middle mouse button/control click to run the sim in a new tab then select next dungeon and do it again
can you get 3400 with just 16's?
Mythicplanner.com, Google search
Very helpful tool imo
yes
when and how do you use this in dungeons?
you use it as a stop
just like any other stop
casts going off, uninterruptible casts going off? press fear
That is great for leech veils
gives time for kicks cds to refresh and can be used in conjunction with your group's stops
apparently stormbolt works
im tempted to go in and try
but that was his message
SC and stormbolt wouldn't make sense tbh
the others do make sense ig
ill try that, i didnt bother using it in m+ cause my friend said that elites and casters are immune to fear mostly
no
I gotta see it for myself because I could've sworn it wasnt working lol
Like 99% of mobs in dungeons are elites...
I didn't think aoe stops worked for leech veil?
CC doesn't work on lieutenant-type mobs (generally) and bosses
Intimidating shout is technically ST with a "cleave" effect
The main target gets a different effect put on it
Storm bolt works but you have to target the one channelling the leech, not the one being shielded
Pshycic Scream for Leech Veil does
Big if true
On priest
wtf is a leech veil
danke
But it also means not running the slow cleanse on berserker rage for the Kasreth trash
Can confirm confirm, Storm Bolt works on Leech Veil
Intim Shout works
Shockwave does not
Makes sense
i wonder why
Maybe all ST CC works on it?
My initial theory about it being a damage rider has proven incorrect 
if its not due to the immune / damage type ccs
seems like an oversight
and not intentional
and i pay for 1/20th of that 55$
Does intim work on AoE, or only if you manually target the caster?
testing
Also I thought they were immune to fear
I get 1 gig down, 35mbps up, and 40 ping and I pay $130 🙂

Works targeting any mob in the pack
Huge tech
And that's in tests; I get like 80 ping in games
ouch
Probably worth running instead of the slow immunity
my ping is really good and the connection stable, thats the only thing i can be grateful about
Realistically ping is the only thing that matters after a point
I'd gladly take 25% of my download if my ping was 5 instead of 40
If I moved like 6 miles south I could get google fiber
Stable 40 ping is fine
Back in Ye Olde Dayes I used to raid on 350ping
40 is fine for gaming, but thats like the max imo

Eh, in WoW I don't even notice it until like 200
But in DbD or FPS games, yeah it's trash
Death
really wondering how starlink is

I'd be surprised if starlink actually had good ping
Satellite generally blows ping-wise
yep, apparently some claimed they have sub 30 on good days
Til them storm clouds roll in
but most tests i saw was in the 80-120s

absurd sometimes to think how the internet is connected
I have 15 ping in wow, I do not understand how
Depends on how close you live to the datacenter
this thing under the sea is what connects my europan yee with your yees in the states
yeah like we got them huge underwater cables
Yeah it's crazy
That’s the reason we can’t play together on almost every games 
Tbf you have less lag playing games cross-region than talking on the phone
A big hug can connect the world
I remember talking to my mom when she was in Korea and having a very noticeable absence of sound in between what I said and her responding lol
the last time earth got hugged, a lot of dinos died
EU servers are in Paris and Frankfurt, I’m between both
geolocation is huge for latency
