i asked myself over and over did they taste like turkey
also routing is involved
I imagine they taste like lizard
which is another layer
Since they're flying reptiles
unknown forbidden tastes
oh yea i had a bunch of different stuff tried out, germany is pretty chill with that and the mongolian buffet here got literally everything thats legal
shark was def the most disgusting ive ever tasted
and kangaro surprisingly good
I had shark as a kid but don't remember it other than that it was really chewy
it tastes idk rotten
I'm not a big tryer of weird shit though
the most disgusting thing ive ever tasted is cow tongue
Like I was gonna taste frog legs once and just couldn't bring myself to do it
like how am I gonna eat a lil froge
i always give it one small bite for a test, can always spit it out
You could always try some rocky mountain oysters
frog is such a weird thing to eat, no fucking meat on it, why bother preparing it
nah oysters, mussles or snails those are the worst
i cant
Head cheese is the most disgusting thing I ate
uncooked salty oysteers worst food
Rocky mountain oysters ar enot oysters
It's what they call fried bull testicles to trick people into eating them
I don't think it's a "trick", I think it's more of a cheeky euphemism
They also call them bull fries
we got some nasty shit in germany called Sülze
its like veggies and meat in some clear jello
It'd be less appetising if instead of "sausage" they said "mulched off-cuts in intestine casing"
As tank nothing new
Maybe You Should Watch A Guide First
like what the f bro
Chat is dead like warriors are dead in high keys

Pugging Without Watching A Guide Is Fucking Griefing
People who put savory things in jello have mental problems
In myth adds you kill drop a puddle, you just start destroying walls from the back of the room
bro if its the same myth and heroic wtf do i care
We not getting keys done anymore so we chatting food here?
do the puddles not go away?
I don't even know how we ended up on this subject
Holy shit your name is accurate
Did some1 say food
I kneel
food!?
No, you just kill them far, then middle then near melee
well at least you got it, unlike some lurkers
we also dont know if hes commited or just really dumb (for years)
got it. anything else diff on myth or the same?
YEARS
im detail oriented
decades at this point
It’s the same, you need 3 to destroy a wall
Extremely effective bait honestly
peace of cake 
So just watch where one is missing if you are the tank focused
this is all i want pls
i gonna rename myself to Brewarrior
Sir can u explain orbboss just as easy
5head play
Just name it Brewaugresto

but what happens next season when vdh is bis?
Fits perfectly
Which boss it is
The third one. The guy that spawns orbs on hc
Idk the name
when i started wow like 20 days before midnight released, i wanted to do a monk as tank, my friend said its gonna be bad in the season better go protection warrior, well here i am
Saladbar
saladyourheart
salazar
Slytherin?
It’s just kite, when he will do the cast kite farther, end the phase on a marker, drop the spike not facing the raid
Just changes from hc to myth
i believe for you as tank it didnt change really
There is no changes for the tank in myth, just more balls to kite
how much do you guys tip on crafting orders
5k
And if i was to play heal and dps too
You can drop a ring of peace if you feel fancy and play brew, for the kicks
if ur on america alliance you can find a guy named billymays who does craft 2-3k
I type in tradechat, send the order to one of the 25 Bots that whisper me within 2 seconds and pay them 500-1000g depending on how i feel
gg on my server they request 10-15k
It depends if you are ranged or melee, melee it doesn’t change from heroic, just more pad, ranged has to do the kicks, which are whatever rly, healers needs to press healer cd when big orb dies and boss spin with beams
lol
if only you knew how many times the regulars here have asked themselves that
including me
You should write guides
try easycraft.io
search there and see if someone in your server is signed up
got invited to myth chim pug. what is different for tanks if anything?
its not a cartel site or anything, just a good way to find crafters
aint no way
Just stay on your side and nothing changes from heroic beside that, don’t go the other side
only one but good site, directly bookmarked
stay on your side and there is an extra tank soak before intermisson (then one tank does a solo soak 2nd soak after intermission) that may depend on your group
me reading that
what you mean by stay on your side? in heroic we keep boss 1 spot and 1 tank goes down to take adds away and swap
U know how chim has 2 phases?
Yes pugs can be really trashs when it comes to very simple bosses
Dont Touch each other during phase or ded
markers will split the group in half odds one side even other if you dont dissonace kills everyone
Your pug raid lead will say 1/2 left, 3/4 right, you just stay where he says
For the whole fight
Intermission included
and still taunt boss when the other tank goes down?
yep
Yes
and where are you supposed to take adds when you go down
And you put the adds on the marker your rl put
decently far but near the middle line is what most rls put
scared
Usually there is also marks for where adds need to be in pugs. They are off to the side a bit
I assume for you its green ir moon
While yellow and purple are madness soaks
Im scared for you too tbf
ok i stand on moon and take adds blue ok
when the other tank has him on green i assume I stand on green and hit him still?
ask if you have boss on skull
You are in add realm : you kill adds, you are not : you kill boss
having him on green and moon would make you lose a lot of damage
And move the boss if adds come too close
Am I missing something why do brewmaster defensives literally last 43 seconds up every 1-2 minutes
wall has 50s cd on good rage use
There is still something that gives wall cdr ? Or you play the talent

I thought they removed it as they did with bs, I’m still weird out by playing 2 stack wall talent
the removed it early beta then put it back again
We all play 2 stack wall but it def still lowers cd but it was nerfed a bit
Oh ya they did remove it at first
what raid should I go do of any variety
Im too casual prot now 
Go do voidspire, dreamrift, then go do march on queldenas
of who dun it
warstopmp works
just made my first 16 and got my 15 resil on same key ^^
3.4k is close, next week i think i can get it
You really got it ?
no
Noob
its like the 1 rare raid mount I dont got
What should I do with my first 80 hero crests? I’m 251ilvl. With 4p
Upgrade hero track gear pref 2/6 and up
bro i'm leveling a war lvl 10
using whirwind instead of revenge is so much fun, what ive done, im obssessed now
Why is it called Invincible if you can see it in the loot table?
Ty
"average warrior experience"
It’s the only rare mount I wanted and I have it
I still want Raven from Anzu
how long takes to clear ice crown? is there skip to last boss?
Depends on what you're playing I suppose. Probably 15-20 minutes would be my estimate. There's no skip.
that sounds like "no cheating" talk smh
just teleport there using acquired GM commands, it's so ez?
You should be able to skip the boss that requires healing if you do run it; just run around the sides of the room iirc
Yeah, you can skip that one
the worst part of icc is the running. And the stupid spider room
It's kinda crazy that they haven't given us a LK skip after all these years.
Tested this 'Archon build' in a few keys and have to say it feels great. So tanky.
🆘
lol ^^
Srsly I don't get the hype about the 4/4 apex
Is this just powerful rage bait
Why when the top prot warriors play like this?
If you want a serious answer, 4/4 apex is a considerable damage boost and defensive boost. You can drop points elsewhere if you want to take all the "tanky" talents without losing apex, and you loss a lot less dps and a lot less damage
The 1/4 Apex build is a holdover from Beta when the dr from Phalanx was tied to the 1st point, not the 4th
As much as I hate to use it as a source, the majority of the top pwarrs according to Murloc are using 4/4 apex now
But a lot of people have also swapped off pwarr at high level for Brew, so theres stagnation
dps okay but what I don't like about the apex is that you get 5% situational dr for 3 points when you could also get more selfheal, Last Stand and a cheat death for the same cost
Its not situational DR, if you're playing the spec correctly you'll always have phalanx up on enemies
And you can drop other talents and not lose the DPS or the DR
5% flat DR is massive
Last stand is extremely situational, not the apex dr
A situational self heal is worse than 5% flat dr
And most people drop EA/Bloodsurge for BSV anyways
Nobody is saying you cant take those abilities, just dont drop the apex for them
There’s less costly options
And don't drop Punish either like some morons are doing now
Or VO
If you want tankiness, losing a flat 5% DR is the exact opposite of that goal
but it isn't flat. It's no dr against enviromental dmg, its no dr when grouping up enemies or while pulling and the bigger the pull the less enemies you hit with that tiny cone
It’s flat dr when it matters
And you're picking up...what DR for those scenarios by dropping it?
it should matter in big pulls shouldn't it?
Read what I forwarded
None of the talents you're taking give you DR in those scenarios either
It literally does?
And you can STILL take them without dropping Phalanx
It does matter a lot in big pulls, when you hit everything in front of you with the Phalanx shockwave and give them a 5% dr 
Are you letting mobs stand behind you or something?
Because 8 seconds of extra HP isnt going to save you then
Its also a pretty big cone. If you're blocking the mob, it'll reliably hit the mob
no but they fan out so you would have to move constantly
You'll still apply Phalanx to them
Shows how hard it is to apply Phalanx
20+ mobs in one shield slam
Even in a pull that large, he still hit every single mob with it
hm okay
You're literally just playing a worse spec if you dont take apex, and gaining literally nothing
Because you can take all your niche defensive talents without losing apex
And losing far less dps for it
You can feel comfy and still be stronk
Just drop EA, Bloodsurge, and FV/TaN, put them into apex, and you'll literally feel tankier and deal more damage just for existing
I'll try it, thanks
Pash you wanna run a 5K with me next year when I get stronk
Run me straight into the grave damn
I'll come to VA for it even
I ran in the london marathon a few years back
No shit?
My brother is starting to jog because he wants to go into the local police force and he wants me to jog with him
and it is pain
Only to cross the street to buy a vape, but technically I did run in it
SMFH
giga
You baiting bitch
lmaooo
dude i had to run like 2 blocks, the road was PACKED and i was shimmying my way through the crowd
I mean that's basically the same as running 26.2 miles
pree much
pree much more like pee much
what do you guys predict the 1% m+ cutoff will be at the end of the season? 3.8k?
gottem
I'm guessing around 3650-3700
I saw the story of the guy who ran with a mini fridge on his back in the london marathon and was like so? I won that same fridge at a social and carried it home like a baby for 30 blocks
I dont think the 3400 saddle will bring it up too much tbh. I think a lot of people will tap out of the climb well before 1%
I know people already that are giving up on the 3400 saddle because getting through those middle keys in pugs is a fucking mess
I think resilient keys will allow for 1% boosting and will inflate the score requirements
I think there will def be boosting but i still think its gonna land around 3700
3700 is puggable so hope you're right
3700 is like, resi 19?
I can see it settling around there
Time will tell though
The 1% mount is prob gonna be another recolor of the carrion eagle anyways 
think its resilient 18 and like 2-3 19s
Right now 1% cutoff is 3503 and .1% is 3737 in US
2.3% of US is 3400+
But we prob have til mid-september for this season?
Damn, must be nice playing in NA
yeah is pretty cool 
I'd be surprised if 1% got to 3700 even with the added achievement. There was plenty of boosting last season too, and 1% was still 3515/3600.
Yeah but 1% has an actual reward this time
It should easily get there.
New season in New addon - more players.
Plus there wasnt a mount involved. Collectors will gladly pay goldcap for that
Yeah that’s me, my name is goldcap. Pay me plz
I guess we will see at the end of the season
That we will
ty friend. used to waking up to my graphs in a wowhead article not a random babble about tanking lol. 
Hope you and the gang here are well. ❤️
Maker of graphs
Guess I should go to bed huh
Do you ever make picmixes

lmao same it’s 1am
Just got home late and had to eat so I didn't wanna go to bed til it had a chance to settle
I’m watching video essays about obscure mechanics in Mario games
But 3 hours is probably good
3 hours is more than enough time
oh man, any good recs? im always looking for a long form video essay on fun nerdy shit
I get acid reflux pretty badly sometimes if I go to bed too soon after eating
Will wake up with a throat full of liquid hot magma
Sadly they’re all like 10 minutes long which is why I watch a few before bed lmao
HOWEVER Down the Rabbit Hole just put out a new vid
Thats why you shouldnt eat 3-4hrs before bed
When a man believes that he's discovered the secrets to infinite energy, he begins fighting to make his dream a reality with cryptocurrency.

Love this channel and their essays
That's why I don't eat 3-4 hours before bed generally
never heard of it but i look forward to falling asleep to it halfway through ❤️
Fuck yeah
But I had to go in/leave work late today to do stuff, then go to gym
And didn't get home til like 8:30 to eat
He has a 6 hour Eve Online video
Only crazy people play Eve
I'm 100% certain of this
oh boy, I hope piratesoftware makes an appearance 
Fantastic repository of long videos about weird topics
Oh @undone beacon I am also doing a thing in May where I do at least a mile of walking/running outside for an epilepsy fundraiser thing

I recommend trying a casein shake before bed / after gym instead of Regular protein
Gonna try to do it on top of gym cardio but might die
I don't do the gym supplement stuff
outside is a different beast compared to treadmill
Yeah, that's a big reason why I wanted to do it
I did a 6 mile hike the other weekend, with nearly a mile in elevation diff. That was a fucking workout
Need to get used to running/walking on pavement eventually. Might as well get started for a good cause right
I’d rather hike any day than marathon
My trainer made me do 1-2 miles as a warmup before the workout began and I could knock out a pretty decent pace, but the moment I started training in the park I was getting winded like, IMMEDIATELY
Real Tanks are build like Tanks Irl... right ?
You don't realize how spoiled your feet are on a treadmill haha
Some of these guys are it’s crazy
oof, and the shin splints if you're not careful
Yeah, I got those once years back when I was trying to do the gym thing (but not in a very motivated/determined way)
It suuuuucked
Need proof
I am built like a tank if tanks were fat people
Could we do a skyhold backpacking trip instead that’s more my speed
But I'm working on the fat part. Down 27 pounds and going to gym 4 days a week
27? hell yeah
Give me a 20 mile backpacking trip over a long weekend
Dude fuck yeah
I went for a few months and it made little difference but I don’t have much realistically to lose without it becoming a disorder 
I could def shape up some stuff tho
you have a... idr what they're called, digital body fat % measuring estimator thing?
get some definition
Here's my balding ass at the gym today
Man, im weigh 97kg. Im a fatfuck if anything
I hover around the 64-66kg I think? Idk I use freedom units
I am 6'3/190.5cm and weigh 358lbs/162.4kg
i dont support that kiinda language, we only talk body positivity in the gym son
Damn straight
oh god that reminds me, i lost 2cm at the doctors last month, I've SHRUNK
I don’t like that gif
I'm gonna be 38 in a few months 
Dw im bald too
frfr, im gonna be one of those guys who says they're 6ft and then have to look up when talking to someone 6ft
And im 29
I was already on the way at 29 haha
This is what 183cm 97kg looks like
Would you lemme tonk your keys
lmao
I don’t have gym pics of myself but I’m certainly not muscular. I have some light definition on my arms from working out on and off but I focus more on lower body stuff
I'd do a hike though, idc
Glutes and legs for days baby
Hell yeah
Gotta pump up the femboy booty 
all i have are tinder thirst trap pics
It’s the one thing I got
the Tinder thirst trap pics lmao
All i have is arms lmao
apparently its all about the facebook dating app now
Dude you know who is built
I have no definition on anything yet; it's buried beneath like 30% body fat
Guilford is like peak woyer
Need pics
Funny way to say tinder
I joined that the other day. Sadly not a terrible app compared to how predatory the main dating apps are these days with trying to convince you to buy shit every 5 seconds for $1204981250712
Too bad he’s
like you and I should be ghash lmao
Ghash?
doot
I swiped the wrong way in an app the other day; saw an undo button, pressed it. It was like LOL YOU GOTTA PAY $10 FOR THAT
Doot, ghash, informative nickname man

WHAT IF THAT WAS YOUR SOULMATE
I actually was pretty bummed; she seemed cool
“Hey baby I just paid $10 to like your profile” gets em every time
But oh well, chances of it being a match was like .0000001% anyway
chances of them being real
Not wrong lol
Stay Single so you got more time to tank keys.
Make more people happy without spending money
I flew into Calgary and drove to banff one week and instantly had 600 hits on my profile
Being a tank is like being in a toxic relationship with the rest of the wow community 
like fuuuck off lol
I'm not rushing a relationship. I've been single (on purpose) for like...5? years now
But just wanted to see what was out there you know
Dare to dream
The last person I dated was someone I met on an app. We lasted a good year and a half but just grew apart as people
Dont invite anyone from kazzak and demonhunters, youll have a better life
On N.A. it’s Quel’thalas, Ragnaros, and Azralon 
lmao noooo sorry
All I can say for advice is dont get into a throuple and move with them to another continent
doesnt tend to end well
Seems like wise advice

Sometimes i forget that this discord isnt eu only, even tho i keep seeing na scores
there's even the occasional australian!
but all their letters are upside down so they're hard to understand
Thanks for the info gup
hey guys. is this normal to get dominated on left side Nexuspoint and 1st mull Maisara? dont have any problems with getting dmg but there i get extremely fucked and it makes 0 fun
is on 16+
ye left side is brutal, i found this route : https://keystone.guru/route/nexuspoint-xenas/NOJCAcJ/linamedladd-2/edit/1 to smooth it out a bit and you are "only" getting 2 circut seers but the pulls are still hell
wil lcheck it thx!
how d o you manage the Seer thats patroling?
for pull2 just tank them backpaddeling towards entrence a bit slowly
then pull seer far right so u dont slap an extra manapbattery
and what are you guys doing in maisara? i realised that the bears are tank shredds XD gonna make a new rout for this sadly
bears at like 5-6 stacks i piercing howl and kiting abit
okay. i had the 3 at my 1st pull. think thats the problem cause i dont run the mammut side
did something like this in MC +17 https://keystone.guru/route/maisara-caverns/rh7JaMl/maisara-caverns-temporary-route/edit/2 - i dwarf first gorge from mammut - and on 5-6 stacks i PH start running abit and just rotate shieldwall into kiting (obv ur grp have to use kicks, suns etc), we had aug that cleansed second gorge from mammut
its a bit of a pickle as protwarr (and beeing old of age as a man) to gather it but it saved us alot of time, we had 2 or 3 deaths overall
key was res so we tried the pull twice until we got first pull to work
this worked because your healer was god but these pulls aren't easy at all on your team
need me a god healer duo to fix all my mistakes
first pull is fine if you can survive it, but 2nd pull mammoth with healer group is risky with no healer cd, and that pull with 8 skirmishers after mini is something you may not wanna do as keys higher unless you got a mage or purge or whatever can throttle those skirmisher shields. also the building pull with the trash at the south wing of the hut kinda risky to include them idk
but in a 17 im sure anything can work if healer is God and team use defensive
I elect to take mammoth pull 2 with trash that only hit me and healer doesn't need to stress about topping people before mammoth aoe, and he can just pure heal me
this is my 1st pull too but without mammut. and i get fucked hard cause the healer cant keep me up
does Shield Specialisation increase block value to 46% of blocked attack dmg or to 35%?
Shield Specialisation increases the block value
So depending on your block value u get more dr
The higher your base block value the lower dr shield spec gives
this is in a +14 that was completed. 69k seems low overall?
rogue's on the rise
Tough as nails does pretty good damage. Could be one of the reasons
no its not that big a difference
Fair. Was just looking at my own log from caverns and it was 6%
yer but that 4 k dps not like 20-30k they missing
Not sure what good damage in caverns is. Did 73 in my 13
i mean in my 1 logged MC which was a month abo i did 67k
i mean ye but assuming you talk about the route in a +17 and try to rotate cds and its doable, i fully understand its hard, and beeing a dwarf makes it alot easier due to bleed removal, on top of that a aug for second bleed removal. its obv fine to split the first pull or even chain it when mammoth and souleater dies
this is the +15 done right after and only went up to 68k
its hard to say not looking at the breakdown of used abilities, try resonant voice instead of crushing force in warrior tree, i gained abit overall for it
nasty
man some people just straight up suck ass in this game lol
thats some very nice damage
Most*
I joined a +9 on my shammy (resto), with a full slavic (cyrillic letters) team, and oh boy...Not only did they take 5 mins in the first room of Windspire, but also died literally 15 times, we didnt even get to the first boss and threw in an abandon 
But heyyy i should have healed more...right
i avoid russians like the plague on wow
ive only had bad expriences with them
Well they destroyed my wife's life dream so
I am biased
but i guess they're not to blame personally
they hold me hostage for 30min in a key in tww s3
just refused to play or abandon key
oh no how utterly evil
cuz i didnt do enough dps as a FURY war on the first bigass murloc pull in gambit compared to DESTRO LOCK
like what xD
capped vs giga uncapped class yea no wonder
i wasnt even far behind him
legit barely behind in overall
prob wouldve been over him in overall at the end of dungeon
honestly i don't even look at the meter in a weekly key
okay well hard to compare with the difference in difficulty between seasons
harder than now for sure :D
point is
no matter how good a ruski is
he aint getting my inv
Whats my main way to stay Alive as dotc? Is it ursocs fury?
Cause spamming ironfur doesnt quite do it in my opinion
dont know how can answer that in the prot warrior channel
So I just started trying 12s on prot warrior and im curious if it's extremely obvious to us when a healer is bad or should we have pretty good self sustain without them needing to be on top of us constantly

we dont self sustain, but we do need drip healing
so its hard to tell if its a healer issue or a warrior issue without logs
Day 2 on prot so im still getting used to the spec and how it's supposed to feel
I might drop back to 10s and get a better feel then push onward after a few days
Okay thanks Jake
Who synergizes best with us, rsham?
any are fine really expect disc is probably the worst
I love mist weaver
yea we are the tank with the lowest self sustain
we basically just reduce the damage taken by a LOT compared to other tanks
so we need some heals
well atleast compared to bears :D its a lot more DR
None, 5 Tanks meta
Based
resto sham just goes so well with prot warr
Mist Weaver also just passive heals us while doing dmg
Whoever is in que atm is my favorite
Oh yea, without bloodlust you are slow af /s
yeah just makes it easy to cover lust, skyfury very nice for us, among other things
granted all healers are kinda fine in my mind at least
every pwarr I had, very enjoyed my healing and overall my presence. The only thing rshaman need is a CR, then Rdruid can go f themself lul
yes I cannot deny a good resto druid is a nice experience too especially if they ironbark me when I rreally need it
it sucks
Its better then someone on the ground
Aura farming 
That means you are showing us who the alpha is
I like growing various veggies and peppers and stuff like that
Homegrown vegg, cant beat it
wheres the option for 'healer who knows how to play their class?'
Are we brewmaster?

Also, can someone explain the rationale behind these popular talent choices for Myth Belo?

yea, im just confused
are these tanks just being super weenies?
Is there value in the extra 10% magic DR from SR?
i think its for the 2% aoe reduction tbh
like everything is aoe damage on that fight
and might help u soak more orbs at once that extra 10%
the only thing that really scares me has been the start of P2
he does like a back to back to back tank frontal
which can be spicey
I think if the only thing that scares you is the beginning of a phase of a boss in a video game you’re pretty fearless
its a pretty scary phase
like this boss mechanically aint hard
but they just turbo buffed the numbers

I, however, have many fears
still, its been more fun then Crown
Disappointing my friends and family, not being good enough, poachers
I swear P1 Crown I just got fucked on
I get the shit tank job of tanking the off add while the raid kills one of them
so no damage amp and no healers in sight of me

You get to pad on the small adds tho
I wish
I let the first two sets on my first add go
besides, the big numbies come from the damage amp
u rly asking?
I like this raid as a tank and a DPS 
And in a few hours will get a sad vault
Watched a heroic void of light ring go to an alt 
checking Raider IO ... why are the top pwarrs going quite a bit into Vers?
i've seen the only heart trinket so far go to a frost dk
yea true, I barely see any pwars going Chim heart
All right who’s the wise guy here?
:shruge:
i wrote such a comment once, but I doubt this is me lmao
100% Nim

Nim usually hates and shits on Reddit
We do got some snark
It’s snark from a place of endearment
^
And partially exhaustion
I get it. I imagine it gets exhausting for the regulars here fielding, “how much haste” questions 20 times a day and you still keep doing it. Truly 100% SB uptime.
its when the banner literally says read the pins

do you guys go for an crafted amulet or one of the raid ones?
alot of ppl cant drive properly
think I might get back to tanky tanky
same issue really
i dont mind it when they are new people, i mind it when they aren't new and ask shit like this #protection message
Im hoping for Alleria neck in my vault this week
ability to read the road, or signs
A normal question lol
god forbid im not here 24/7
and i mind it even more when there's 3 other conversations going when someone new asks a question
if driving in Massachusetts taught me anything.... reading road signs is optional
well, its like, honestly its really simple shit with driving
you drive on the outside lane if you go slow, and you drive on inside if you go fast
if you want to do a left hand turn, you get in the left most lane
maybe take a break nim and cool off a little 
how about this; you drive between the lanes cause both the left and right lane are backed up so obviously its time to make a third lane

and you look at the signs and what the fuck is going on around you and follow the traffic lights
but people STILL fuck it up constantly
its a comprehension and caring issue is what im saying
Well here’s a more “meta” question: what is the most interesting question right now for prot warriors?
not much tbh; maybe some choice talent questions?
but Prot is pretty set in stone
or its written in a way that makes the person have to read it 10 times before they fully understand it
Do we need more Haste?

I guess the big one is 'to be a dwarf or not to be'
Im still not sold on Shield spec as a talent
Well tbf there are raid fights where you don't take it
I dont run it, but I also havnt really done keys above a 13 this season and really just raid
if I were doing harder content, it would 100% be something I'd take though
Dropping it in keys is no bueno
Idk 2,5% dr on block is whatever, melees arent going to kill me anways
Raid, sure
wait wdym with shield spec as a talent? im completely out of touch lmao
It sadly is not
In keys they will
last time I checked it was about that much
Huh
ohh
Its about 2,5% dr on block
Wha
Since the higher block value the lower dr u get per point
That doesn't matter, what's your k value
It does, since it increases the value by a % amount and not the % overall, meaning higher block value means less value from shield spec
Someone said K value currently is 3k smth
I'll check the numbers when I get home
Good luck with that
I guess its not easy, but some where someone probably took the time to test it
I calculated it pre season, but it changes with content type, and with the actual season
Yeah the monk dc might have tested it
Block is not percent based, so you're wrong about that
Stagger is based on armor and K value also?
It seems like block value has diminishing returns not as breakpoints but has an curve that flattens out the higher value u get
No
The increase in dr on block is difffent from Shield spec based on the value u have
Increasing block value with brace for impact seems to give diffrent results on how much dr shield spec is providing, thats how I came to think that (might also be the blizzard tooltip beeing wrong)
BFI is an additive increase, shield spec is a percentage increase. Both affect block value differently
But both are increases
K = (Armor/DR) - Armor.
Yes
If the formula DR = armor/(armor + K) is the right formula.
I'm not at my pc but it's something like that
Everything old is new again
It’s midnight season 1 and we’re discussing the value of shield spec
Everything is 67 smh

I dont think so tho, since both increase your block value by x amount (X is % based on your current value). Wouldnt shield spec need to say increases your block by % instead of block value by %
you're wrong
you're reading too much into blizzard tooltips
Alright enough shitposting
this has been solved before
Experienced my first tanking a solo boss in Nexus +10 this season last night. Coreway boss fucks
go for the test
also lilragingman, keep in mind "damage taken before block" involves you targetting specific mobs because, because those values in the character sheet change due to content type (k values change due to content type) so you need to target a M+ mob to find it, or a mythic raid to find it and they can differ
Yeah blizzard tooltips are not that good to base stuff like that on
historically m0 k values have been consistent with keys
but
since content has changed so much in difficulty...
i just snip my character pane when i can and go from there
you started it 
aight im sold, back to tanking, time to brick a couple of keys 
#protection message this is my k value calculation results a bit ago, which is WAY more than what the guy Seep linked got (probably because he was targetting npcs in silvermoon which yield different k values)
Any way to mitigate the coreway bosses dot with the beam? I'm guessing spell reflect just deflects
that's for myth raid, which can differ from keys
speaking of spell reflect, on Tiktok I saw some really good tips for certain bosses when to spell reflect, I legitimately didnt know about any of them lol
i dont even know why i replied to you

oh you mean like the pinned reflect sheet?
Yes sir. I know it changes based on the mob. Also you need to be wary when trying calcs if you’re using DR as a percentage.
Maybe 
On that note of calcs mixing percentages and non-percentages, the number you got here looks reasonable.
the basic equation does not involve percent DR
damage taken after and before are flat numbers
you just obtain DR % between those two
I see the formula you linked now, that corrects it 100%
also block caps at 30% 85% DR
regular blocks
but
as K value increases, nobody can ever get there even with BFI and shield spec
and block value is capped at ilvl caps
crit blocks cap at 60% 85% DR
or
Does mastery block still do anything good? Crit parry just seems laughable
I see where I got it wrong then, I basically made my assumption based on the wrong K value so Shield spec is prob not 2,5% dr
omg i just opened the vault, and i got puzzle, and seat gloves and igniter lets gooooo
The formula I posted before that involves percentage but I know the maths. Yours is much easier to follow.
Mythic light ring required 
yes but no lol
cuz parry can just go off a million times in a row and zero x XYZ still = zero
which always beats "less dmg"
any attack you can block, generally, you can parry it
too
what do you mean by this
crit blocks are very good
parry is very good
im not following your line of thinking
PSA: don’t listen to me. The regulars here are much more helpful. 😊
Parry my beloved
he likely thinks the amount of crit you'd need to make it good would be laughable
Its about learning and developing
Yeah, my brain is still trying to understand why we don't go after mastery for more block
thats my takeaway
we do go after mastery
we've said many times in here that mastery IS NOT to be avoided
and that its a good stat
Aight, yeah we do some. Guides show haste>crit/mastery
❤️
Which brain goes ok so haste>crit and call it a day
if you parry a hit you take 0 damage
if you crit block a hit, you take at max 60% of that hit
which one is better?
also crit sims higher in dps
on a vacuum
There are also cases of dots etc not applying if parried
Oooh THAT'S the key, not taking anything is better than taking 60% of something
so if you have enough to parry 15% of those, its that much less dmg you are taking, translating to more dmg you can do
Until it's a spell 
then u IP, wall and reflect
Spell shmell, spell block
and yell at healer for not bark skinning or cocooning you
Wall helps spells right? I know demo shout does
DR affects every type of damage unless specifically said otherwise (i.e. SR is only MDR or magic DR)
if you are take any kind of heavy dmg at all, wall
do we still have increased autoattack speed after parry or is that long gone?
that has been gone for a long time
We have a talent that gives us Attackspeed after a crit
sounds long gone to me,
it was nice though
some legion stuff or something?
back in the day you would hit faster after parrying
ah okay
their parry hastes dont really matter however
It would be cool if u pinged me aswell so my stupid brain stops thinking about shield spec
not even for tanks if melees attack from the front?
i am of the camp that thinks that pwar doesnt take shield spec is illegal
i know they shouldn't but
unless you have a good reason
the entire spec is shield, should just rename it sheild person
Doesnt rly matter to me what camps there are, I wanna have a number on it that says "its X% dr"
it goes against my morals to have a priest in a rpg
and i dont use and upgrade healing on them
it feels like such a let down to stop them from do the thing they are custom built to do
druid is really in a good spot right now concerning m+
New friend: You play wow? Cool, what class?
Me: I’m a Tauren ShieldZug
tank is decent, moonkin rocks, resto is good
right, no, i think the part about, priest has death spell
weird though, IV tells they are top notch in keys
there was fuck loads of boomies about 1 to 2 weeks ago
When they add a 4th spec to every class in the last Titan priest will get a holy magic based dps caster spec

It will be an axe wielding magic warrior
Priest tank
So that way DPS can blame the healer and the tank at the same time. It’s all about efficiency.
Guys what do we think about the str/stam chest enchant, any good?
As opposed to?
Mark of the world soul?
It’s 40 str and 116 stam vs. 50 str
The amount of stat difference is negligible either way, 10str is a sliver of dps and the stam is not going to make or break you living
you mean like this?
thats certianly a magic thunder axe
10 str is essentially the strength of the arcanoweave embel friend bonus so, I'd opt for that
Some bozo os trying very hard to tell me its bis for prot
I thought about this a while ago. I feel it’s pretty negligible as well. Only thing I could possibly think of is if the stamina will take you from something like 899k health to 900k health. It looks cooler 😂
He also says 1/4 is better cuz u get indom and last stand, and mastery is prot war best stat
And he ‘doesnt take dmg’
Trying to make sense of this
Chat did I cook
Then his opinions are invalid.
some people are beyond saving
A lot of people fell into the 1/4 trap saying "it feels tankier" without actually trying to play 4/4 and now are monoliths on their incorrect assumptions
Such is human nature
You don’t have to go 1/4 to get the extra survivability. Just facts.
Tell him to link his logs and we can point to all of the reasons he’s not bis
Gottem
(But seriously, it’s not)
People rallied so hard against apex talents in general
I’m only pushing 15’s atm, but I am 4/4 and still can take BSV, last stand (for certain instances), and indomb if I needed to.
Saving people left and right
Love rally cry. I’ve been using it all season. Incorrectly until recently but that’s not the point.
Some ppl also dont see the value of dr cuz there is no easy way to see it ingame
What are they tanking a 2? 
This is his rio apparently but looking at his consume and talent makes me puke https://raider.io/characters/eu/silvermoon/Dpsdmgwar
How so?
Basically saying "I have mor hp and more hps so I must be more tanky"
Lmao it’s Dpsdmg
omg its the guy that lied

i member him
Oh gimme lore xD
What a goober
i use rallying cry when i notice the healer can't keep up to give him the breathing room he needs
Using it after group damage instead of before.
How are you interacting with him
i thought it's just extra hp?
Or do i need to read more
Hes on a goldmaking yt disc im active in
He got banned from here
lol how
Yea he talks a lot and with a lot of typos lol
goldmaking yt dc sounds sus af
LOL NOOOOO
disengage
Received a timeout and then came back on an alt account which is an ez ban
fuck that guy
he got caught lying then doubled, down on it for some reason, but he was annoying in beta chat saying stoopid things
Its just kaychak’d discord
It is, but if you use it before damage goes out, it works similarly to an absorb because it’s temporary.
Lying about his rio or? Lol
pepega does more dmage than him
I thought you will just lose the extra health but not drop below zero
but yeah i use it kind of in the middle of heavy incoming dmg
Or when someone is close to dying
People come up with some sus shit, I did once and then came here and didn't look back
You see this is why I always ask because people pushing cooked takes hard in other discords always leads to some drama fueled fun
It’s always better to use it than not use it. But if you can time it so it goes out before damage goes out, like I said it is like a group wide absorb shield.
is dps while active closer to what details shows in game
Yeah it’s dps while in combat
it is what shows in game
55k dps is wild
give or take a couple of 100 dps its really accurate to dps meter
he dont press buttons
If someone is 3500 io and giving you that information, they are purposely failing you 😭
which was something he was aiming for he wanted to play a high msatery taN build
I could be wrong but I think of it like this: if everyone is going to take a 20% hit to their hp, if I give them 20% hp before the hit, then they’re just back to where they were originally.
No there are definitely a lot of people at that level who understand routing but don’t play their dps rotation effectively
Enigmas to be sure
Well seems to be somewhat working but lol
Doing -30k dps
If I use it after, they go to 80%, temporarily to 100%, then back to 80%. They still need to be healed up in that case.
TaN with high mastery?
im less than that and give out advice everyday 
can i be trusted
Yes bc ur name is yellow that’s like +400 IO
i dont think u know how many times ive been told because i dont push keys i dont know
yet im consistently proved right
all the time

odd that init
I'm 2800 with advice from here
https://raider.io/characters/us/illidan/Gridwar
I'd think so 
he an international man of mastery
Btw is there a minimum on haste for HR to give 100% SB uptime?
Or can he use HR for 100% uptime with 150 haste
i mean u can have high effective with any haste and HR
warriors peak.
wat that? deaths?
yea
oh says at bottom lmao
Make every piece crit/mastery and pop off 
Im the next one to get banned here 
would be slow as hell
Watch me fly
mention the 1/4 apex
well if u keep using tooltips to test things u might be 😛 @naive ravine
"but it does more damage" 
Atleast I dont double down on using tooltips and accept that they are inaccurate
Tbf he got banned because he evaded a timeout
After Mwahi told him multiple times to chill out
vault ragers
Which was extra ironic because he fancied himself a psychologist
well yes, but would u really want him here talking about his giga mastery build
Someone should go get a raid boss and blow up the vault area
Not to be mean, but is that gut legitimately disabled irl?
The last time I trusted a tooltip :
maybe he was a Harley Quinn type of psychologist
I dont know how to say it in a nice way
Purgatory killed me in raid lol
No 

Is he playing full mastery TaN cuz he cant press that many buttons
For sure
Getting my face blown smoove off thinking it only soaked up to 90k from one person instead of 90k from ea
I mean dude’s pretty much the clown of that disc everyonr makes fun of him and he gets angry
You can die in purgatory if dmg is too high, it’s just interpose says it’s max 20% of my hp
no no it was rank 1 dps for some key lvl on beta (which he never provided) so that means its bis now of couse
Oh wow
Just learned about the MC trick on the final boss to not drop any pools. You stand near the brazier corner, right under the protruding horns. You don’t get knocked back OR drop a pool. (Ofc we can spell reflect the knock but this is amazing still)
What other cool shit is there to learn
I'm a warrior that got killed by a dk purg
that's blizzard death recap
Dude played more beta than I played the last season of TWW pretty sure
do you guys take vaults at prot
