no, Nintendo's
hello guys
Oh well, colossus was fun for a week I guess
no it wasnt
What was the deep wounds bug? I don’t remember seeing it
Deep Wounds applied by Execute no longer deal double the intended damage (for all three specializations).
what'd they do to my boy brewmaster
They’ve had their fun, stuff em
who cares about brew this aint peak
also their nerf is very mild
it will make 0 difference, its just a thing to shut the reddit crew up
Blizzard said they didn't intend to displace Brew as the best tank
I just want other tanks to not feel like I'm wearing cloth compared to brew
maybe we get recognized again
they're for tuesday
is this for REAL
yes\
this would be so huge
They're just buffing execute so they can justify nerfing execute...
IT WILL
I MANIFEST ITLL BE THIS WAY
eh
A true doomer knows
where patch notes I cant find wowhead
YEEEE
On a serious note, I will literally never say anything bad about buffing execute. It could literally break game balance and I would not give a fuck
trinket questions: I have given up on puzzle box (I don't use it well enough in M+), and have: Hero heart of wind, hero solarflare prism, and champ heart of ancient hunger. I am not quite sure how to use Prot sim properly, but it liked ancient hunger/prism over heart of wind. Does that feel accurate? that feels weird to me
Agree
Sims are pure damage, heart of wind giving passive haste will help some survivability a bit more. But honestly it’s all just ilvl
Run your 2 hero track trinkets because you’re getting more stats
that was what I was thinking, thanks!
this is not a BIG enough ian brew main confirmed
I feel like the other tanks weren’t buffed enough
bro these brew nerfs are complete 💩
they look drasticc to me
brews not even using zen state half the time
in case youre new: these changes wont result in a humongous overall dps increase
but it will make execute aoe'ing an option again, depending on numbers
they were just announced 31 mins ago as of this msg
so of course we dont have numbers
the spec talent so tight for years now. Last thing I want is to deal with execute talents
do u suck ass
yes you can stay with the fotm rerollers over there
IF you don't suck ass then it doesn't matter pal
i always play monk in every game lol. its my first class i picked in wow
No no you can have them here
no!
Lmao
its our present to you all
Nah
Alright bucko watch your goddamn mouth
I am finally free to abandom my monk appropriately named "Monkfotm" 
yeah it'll be a problem
The stuff they nerfed in these notes is like barely anything important
i ofc do my M+ on pwar first
as predicted
I know I know lmao
the "reddit shut the fuck up" nerfs
They don’t want to mess with peoples progress
paired with the "stop bitching other tanks, youve been meta before and often" nerfs
and they buff EXECUTE on pwar. nobody even presses execute useless buff
I mean we prob will now lmao
who knew
why in the fudge buff useless ability they shuold buff shield slam damage but 50% instead
I mean did I see thunder blast 30%? That pretty solid buff
Ground Current damage increased by 50% - how much is this now?
the fuck i know, im raiding
I do like buff to TB damage but its not enough i feel life
ill work on numbers when im done with raid
like
Why does Blizz feel the need to push us into the execute talents no one wants? :x
I mean yes, it's ass, but now I am used to not pushing it and due to my warrioring have CTE and do not like change.
Stagger go down 500% too much? Ok I can change to stagger go down 495%
Not gonna lie I was kindof enjoying not thinking about execute 🙁
i see you in peak lol
That place is so (I can't say but you know what I mean)
Also no blizz I won't stop playing col
are we happy? or no
what does this mean
are we tankier?
We're the tankiest
i just hit 3k io on my warrior, ive been playing in battlestance LOL
We have no reason to be tankier
is the 1% more damage worth it for you?
Be honest. Are you actually going to talent into execute now?
your healer would do more
it was an honest mistake on my part
i had no idea lmao
whoops
i was getting hit really hard, i feel like i was training in a hyperbolic chamber
Yeah so there’s a simple formula to calculate the new EHPPSPK from the new patch notes
Can someone tell blizz to replace the word "execute" with "shield slam or thunder blastcap" in this sentence pls "Execute damage increased by 20%.
"
Demolish*
Execute * 0.20 + 50% = EPS^2 and then with EPS^2 you can apply it to the Tank Theorem which nets you 400k, then divide by 30% so you end up with 1.1mil
sure, because more damage goes into leech
if you consider that being "more tanky"
I do
i left out execute on my bar, is it time to put it back in or its still dogshit
But I dont play thane so
wonder where execute will go in priority list. i hope it stays dead I never liked executing.. especially in AOE like the thing said to in S1 tww
Heavy handed/deep wounds/massacre viable now?
in raid it was already used
I wanna torture pugs with 3 target routes
I mean the main issues never been with execute itself it’s always been a spec tree talent point economic issue
Well other than execute had low dam
The question now is will we want to take the damn execute talents.. I still think we prob won’t
I actually like aoe execute lol it’s pretty fun
but this is an unfortunate change because now i gotta re-prioritize execute depending on the coefficient
and then i have to run sims against possible aoe combos
just so you guys know execute is literally
dead last as colossus
and 2nd to last as thane
in aoe
it was 3rd in prio in TWW
Sad tbh. Its fun to press
so im not entirely sure if im gonna be able to do it tonight
We got till Tuesday
i can get overall numbers for the other buffs though
im probably gonna guess it'll be like 3% overall increase
we'll see if im right
Useless changes we GG
Just happy warriors are getting buffed across all specs. Happy times after they nearly nuked thane before 0.5 went live
Tbh I was hoping for threat buffs
We never had threat issue lol
threat buffs? Out of all my tanks prot is defo the one I've never had issues on
these ARE threat buffs
that 350 mounts took way longer than it should have
For thane yeah
as long as its not pwar is garbage tier
or effectively with brew in s and everything else in B
goes to d t ier but nothing in c tier or d lol
and then its like, oh warrior tanks suck, if its that, i wont hang arou nd too long
cuz mdi is coming
which turns everyone into route and meta lords
If you’re losing or struggling with threat as a warrior you’re doin something omega wrong
lots of bugs and such as of late
like i had a second blizzard dmg meter window open
and it kept going to somwhere i dont want it to on log in, so okay its because i didnt log off in the right way and hit alt f4
do that, nope
i was hoping for a tankiness buff too... bre is just so much tankier than other tanks idk
and like, random 30 fps, camera for the preview for transmog tweaking
Ive had random packs aggro across the map multiple times
just tired of parade of game bugs lol
Smol indo compy
but, then again, i am finding out what the new expansion is about
and how worth it is for me to continue
was always the goal going in
ya, that and i got the mount i wanted, i have wanted this one since DF
maybe i'd go for 400 one, dont think theres anything past that i've wanted in the past
idk i feel like we needed more
Ring sets can do weird things
Nim post updated sims or is he still raiting
im working on it

Oh that might be it. Just got the nexus set
Doing 1 or 2 doesnt matter at all title cut is so high now. There is litererally only 1 pwar in title score
Wow what a nice buff we are getting
buffing thane is kinda weird (instead of buffing prot as a whole)
like... people are barely playing colossus, and this will make the gap even bigger? i don't follow the logic
We dont need to play colossus we just want thane to be more stronger
I wonder if execute will be worth pressing now
If only they would buff our tankiness too.. but ig dmg buff is all we get
Monk still swimming through packs
Unless in this patch they murdered monk? Surely not right
by high decree colo prot is cringe
thane supremacy

Nay I say
i like thane too
but the decision is weird.. and we needed more buffs
everyonelse is so behind brew, i don't get it how they don't fix it for weeks now
This is blizz here
I mean tbh in dmg we are ahead of brew but i really dont get why they buff dmg
We dont need dmg buff
We need beef buff
Why would they wreck hardworking brews that are trying to push the highest of keys
They didn't
Lol
Watching key balance as pvper is funny because people spam that a spec or comp is op and needs nerfing
so it gets nerfed
and replaced with another one
so in the end nothing changes
@lofty warren
90% of title slots are 1 comp
Changes so far result in the following overall increases:
- 3.65% increase in ST (will be more with execute talents)
- 8.33% increase in AOE (this number might change due to current prio in sims)
These are Thane specific of course.
however
i do have to rework the aoe apl
Oh no I have to play thane now
and test aoe execute specs
My entire colo cope relies on it
so now thane is aproximately 2.65% ahead
in ST
colossus was down around 4%
in AOE
now it'll be down what you said, around 12%
but...
execute needs to be tested
Oh yeah
so yeah colossus is far behind
also
thats not taking into account any execute shift in prio

which means the increase might actually be higher
colo back in the bin (its home, that it deserves)
both in AOE and in ST (ST prio is fine as it is)
i'd imagine its gonna be quite big in ST its not massive but its an increase
due to SD
but we will see
just for shits and giggles im checking SD
its around a 300 dps increase over BB
but we need to re-prio execute
I’m listening…
so it'll be higher
Execute gaming is my shit
execute went up by like 4k damage with my character alone
in average hit
from 24k to 30k
obviously that changes with AP
i gotta be honest im not sure why the TB/GC buffs were done
but hey its a buff
the execute buff was needed
but the other two are strange to be implemented
So, getting back into prot after a long while (pre-hero talents), are the hero specs actually close enough that it's preference for higher content? heroic raids/M+'s over 9 or 10 mostly.
they wont be next tuesday
thane all the way
as of right now, they are however but the announced buffs are on next reset
me reading thane buffs (with nothing to help colo)
Well shit lol. I've been vastly preferring collosus.
No, only Thane.

i'd go back to brew if it were somehow not more boring than thane
dw, im sure colossus will get some love
Hope not.
yeah i think so too
Thats my problem with thane. Its so boring to play.
probably by 12.0.7
Brew is tolerable if you immense yourself in the fantasy of your character (alcohol).
Because good heavens this spec is gutted.
its sad
Keg smash fire breath keg smash fire breath
used to be fun
How wide is the gap going to be between thane and colossus? Within 5% or wider?
next tuesday?
12% aoe like 4 st

ye
Well, I'm not pushing content, so I'll probably stick to colossus when raiding. But guess im going thane for dungeons.
right now its
1% ahead for colossus in pure ST
4% ahead for thane in AOE
next tuesday it'll be around what tom said
2.6% ahead for thane in pure ST
12% ahead for thane in aoe
and those are just early numbers
Welp, heres to hoping colo gets some love next.
anyway for any regulars here that are around when people ask about the buffs just link em this:
[#protection message](/guild/148872210742771712/channel/148897941883584512/)
which results in this #protection message
i think the APL is fine for ST
damage is as follows TB > SS > Execute > TC > Revenge (this is not a prio list, just going by sim output with the added buffs)
oh neat
but i gotta check aoe 😬
so, replace revenge during execute phase ?
we were already replacing it
nothing changes in the prio
except its not a small dps increase to use execute, it'll be quite significant after tuesday
i think thats only apply for boss only yeh? Revenge still have the wave from phalanx which is good for aoe
uhh
that remains to be seen
and revenge does not have buffs with phalanx
im talking specifically in aoe
hence why i don't bother slotting execute or make revenge/execute macro
well you cant
macroing 2 gcds abilities does not work
but again revenge has no "wave from phalanx"
what remains to be seen is whether Heavy Handed will make a comeback
oops my bad, it was for TC
hmm 70% of execute dmg to 2 additional target. we already starved on prot points.. love to see the number running
Whats the best way to handle the skyreach trash that stack the bleeds?
stun and take a few steps back
or piercing howl and take a few steps back
it resets really fast
dont kite like a mad man
just track their duration
and try to reset at about 4-5 stacks
hope you geared crit, cause they are parryable
yup, you do the same thing with the heal absorbs in NPX
yeah, never had any issue with nexus, but seem to always get shredded by that pack in skyreach
npx heal absorbs have the added benefit that you can reflect them to help reset
for what key level
I'm just starting to try pushing past 12. So like, 13-14 right now.
im going to play the rest of the season exclusivly with blizzard highlight routes
but non meme, i miss quazii i used to just import his routes and it was fine
have you tried looking in the weekly keys section of raider.io?
there's nothing overly wrong with yours
except most people dont lust that first pull
well i suppose it depends but i certainly dont
That a site or an app in game?
You have no idea how much I've wanted exactly this thing and just didn't know it existed.
while youre at it, raider.io has keystone.guru
which also has a route library
and also threechest.io is pretty good if you just want accurate MDT on a second screen (but there's no route databases so you have to improt your own)
try adding 2 extra defenders in pull 6 and 2 packs of smallies on right side, you can chain them into boss
that way u can not pull seer in pull 3 and dont pull extras on lothraxion platform
yeah thats a good suggestion
What key lvl?
Aiming for around 13-14, I'm just starting to push past 12's.
honestly just do the weekly key routes
for that range
also word of caution, the circuit breaker that Lobo deselected roams, and you can accidentally pull him
or your group mates
You can also merge 16+17, just stagger pull one image after Searing Rend is cast. To avoid 4 stacks of the debuff
That's my plan now. I'm not trynna reinvent the wheel, I'm not that good. I'ma just look for what the actual good players are doing and I'ma try to imitate.
eh
be careful with looking at r1 key routes
a lot of those pulls arent doable with people at lower key ranges
can do like this. on pull 4 you gotta watch for patrol and pull 8 (g13 and g12) might be hard to gather at first couple times as those big guys start casting shit
and/or without comms or coordination
7 seems pretty heavy for pugs
what are we swapping for Deep wounds, heavy handed and massacre?
TBD
you can chain G8 into pull6
if execute is buffed you dont want to talent out of DW
Are we meta after these buffs,?
like that
Pull 15 is illegal in 14+ pugs. Too much stuff going on. Unless you paralyze one elemental or smth
Gotcha
It's only 2 kicks. Is it that bad?
2 caster guys and 2 copies if pulled one after another will synch frontals, looks like no big deal
I mean, we have 2 aoe ints, two 3 target stuns, and two direct ints ourselves right?
The elementals are bolt spammers, it's not 2 kicks only. And bolts one shot. Similar to AA dragon casters
They one shot in +14??
at that key level, maybe not
@_@ bruh
but it'll be hell for your healer
either way we aint brew
we cannot paralyze
just make sure you dont pull a lot of extra on top of them
its never an option to hard CC one caster and expect people to be careful about their aoe
Maybe if your DH imprisons, not sure
basicall we want to group them up so they can be aoe cc'd
Thank you every one runniing 1/4 giving me even more damage now 
LOL
In before they all switch
Rip col those a fun 2 weeks
What’s this 1/4 stuff about
I doubt it will shift the needle for m+ raid maybe but were would drop somthing in raid as 15% ss damage kinda huge tbh if but sims will tell us
these are the numbers i got
Did u sim execute stuff?
i only checked ST with SD which is +300 dps (over the 3.65%)
but my brain melted, ill do a bunch of aoe shit with execute tomorrow
talents will probably change for ST
pretty sure massacre is going to be another slight increase
maybe smaller than 300 but still
ok me
time
Maybe new raid build 🤞
ya
Ppl are running 1/4 apex talents for no reason making our damage look worse
Ahh I see
But why do they do it 
Cause it was the go to in beta and the top person ran it so they copied
Guys, I had a dream.
They buffed execute.
Damn, what a good dream it was.
I see
buddy do i got news for you
Am I the only one that dislikes execute? I really don’t like the button.
Spam that mtf when boss is low
SD is also fun
Execute is fine to rage dump when IP is not needed. When execute is bad, we spam IP to get AM rolling
I just don’t think it should be in our tool kit, I’d rather revenge do something executy and we just don’t get it at all.
I love revenge spam 😂
Revenge is bad in ST unless it's a proc
Getting Executed by a mod 😂
still wild how the more complex hero spec performs worse all around
I hope not. Execute in AoE is disgusting. 🙁
does TaN give more healing(through leech) than taking bloodborne(through leech and FbV)?
would you believe it if i told you Execute was a primary part of the MT damage last exp?
Execute is a bit like going to work for me. I do it, but I dislike it and would prefer to do something else.
i kinda get it, i'd prefer spamming SS instead of execute, but it's better to reset SS with exe in ST than with revenge
the "Shield Bash" pvp talent is so goofy and fun just SS go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
BÄM
ss really slams
sometthing weird happened... i made 2 Terrace dungeons in a row
and when i finished the second dg, the log of the previous dungeon was kinda replace and it's now... gone?
get it? cuz it slams?
Peeps talk about the sound of Toll but SS is the true sound.
i streamed a dungeon to show wow to my girl and she said the sound effects are really nice lmao
Clapping sounds intensifies
hey guys what do you use to track active shield block ? What do you use for that ? Id like something which shows me ie vertical baf or active shield block
cooldown manager shows me ... cooldown of it
execute should be a 200k hit button
im new to UI
i'm not using a bar anymore
i'm using an ArcUI icon
blizzard cd manager will show the duration, you need to track it as a buff
exactly
is brew dead?
i track like that... now i added a "red glow" if the buff is less than 4 sec, as a reminder to refresh it.
i got back into running ITF and with heart of the wind it's working fine, the uptime is not messed up
not, it's a bit less immortal, but still never dies
thanks blizzard
What is the name of the addon that shows missing buffs like food, gems, etc. at the start of a Mythic+ run?
and beside a rdy check? saw it by some streamers
im using buff reminders
thats it! ty
Sadge
they dont just milk the tier sets in WoW, but now also in Diablo 4 LOL
this is one of the mounts..holy shit
You use arc ui for change color of SB duration?
The gains related in #updates-midnight is also for prot ? I struggle to understand
no they are for arms and fury
@wicked plank this should be the gain for MT, more or less
Brews were are doing like 15% more dps then pwar need more
I giess better than nothing
Thanks !
I disagree. I’ve tried a few different builds and the one that feels safer in keys atm is the 1/4 build I’ve been running since it frees up 3 points for survivability while doing ok single target. Obviously i’m speaking about any key in the 16+ range.
For weekly keys the wowhead build is best since you’ll do more damage. But if you don’t trust or want to help your healer a bit dropping damage for self healing, rage to spam IP etc is better imo. Can’t tell you how many times a lil extra bump from indom or using wall for last stand has been helpful this season. Just wish indom were stronger or not locked behind a less useful talent.
for noobs like me I would look like this maybe, BSV >= 2% haste/5% stamina in pugs?... unsure how big the impact is of skipping Shield Spec but survivability is already good
I do wish the 5% DR from phalanx were available earlier in the tree tho.
u need to read the pin it does not free up anything extra u can have 4 apex and the talents u are talking about
and deal literally more damage and be tankier then 1/4
u will not be taking all 3 exectue talents in m+
Oh I know. I’d rather not drop right tree talents, specifically punish bc it kills your single target and peoples single target I’ve ran keys with has been shit
it doenst drop punish ither
And kinda sucks when dungeon bosses take too long
i dont know where u are getting your buiilds from
which Execute talent to be skipped for M+?
masscre
got it
and those builds are just theoretical
Enduring >= Shield Spec?
we will just see what sims say
pure defence no
A mix of practical testing and checking what fellow warriors pushing are doing. Idk I’ll try the suggested build, but personally I like having EA so I can meet SB uptime to run ITF.
that has no bareing on ITF or not
only your rating does
yes, it's pretty significant
2% haste is not rating
and if like u said u want the tankiest build
u would just be running HR by default
as it is by default tankier
so if u dont want to die why arent u running it?
That 2% haste reduces SB CD
u dont need to care at all if u play HR
Idk how much specifically but it still reduces the number

because its by default the tankier talent
so if u dont want to die or risk dying
u just taking it
Yeah, I just don’t like HR. The time between claps is sometimes just abysmal when pugs are doing idiotic pug things.
espeically always in S1 when stats are low
And I know it’s not super noticeable but when they pull shit extra and i’m in between claps it’s Iike fuck man.
nah your trolling
Bc revenge does fuck all
I’m not. My dumbass teammates are tho
These mf’s sometimes pull extra shit when I’ve clearly planted. Or you know warlock things where their pets pull the whole goddamn dungeon
You are trolling if you dont go 4/4, its shit for damage and shit the defense
5% reduced damage talent doesn’t do shit for rot tho. Know what does help for rot? Increased rage.
And self healing/IP from that rage
Sorry I misspoke. When I say rot I mean things like bleeds or magic dots etc.
But rot is similar I suppose
My only question is why does this build not take tough as nails? Viewing damage breakdown after a key shows it does a ton of damage at only 1 point and high threat.
So you want to take 5% more damage to heal yourself for 2% more? Or how much more is it?
Where is that build from?
That’s the one pinned.
If it’s a dot i’m pretty sure i’m healing more than 2% more. The math doesn’t matter much when it’s a decision between living and dying. First pull in AA is a good indicator of that since you die if you don’t plan cd’s properly for the bites.
No. I mythic raid as fury/arms so velf. 😐
So you say your race is importent in mythic raid since its like 0.2% more damage?
It’s quite a bit more than that. I’d probably consider race changing if I had a group that I pushed title with.
But I don’t so not gonna bother swapping to get stuck in just the top 1% bc BRM is busted this season.
Plus I actually like my guild and don’t want to be a burden on them, anymore than warrior dps currently is lmao.
because 4/4 spex is more damage than ToN as if u need those talents to survive ie LS indom BSV
the one point u can drop is ToN
as it has not context on surviving
that build is like 2% the icy veins build
anyone feel like doing some log reviews to possibly help me improve in m+? I'm currently pushing 16s and don't have any specific problems just want to play as clean as possible.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/tarren-mill/cetrehk?zone=47
can do that
That’s a good point. I’ll give that build a try in my next key and see how it feels.
ToN 
2-3 of the top 5 pwars in m+ are chinese and are using 1/4 apex. Figure its gotta be at least a little viable if the highest key +20 pos on pwar was using it
it depends on where people are dying
In high keys
i think in the highest keys you won't have everyone in front of you
or in general you don't
so phalanx won't hit everyone
but it's a spell that has to be aimed correctly in a group of dangerous mobs
but given that you spam shield slam a LOT, you should be able to put the debuff on multiple mobs at the same time even if they don't stand together
the point is it is mathematically a worse build
you can run a key with a lot of talent variation if your skill or the other players skill allows it
4/4 will become better even with the next patch
When thunderblast dmg increases even more
that scales heavily with 2/4 and 3/4 apex
Prot warr buffs %?
30% more dmg to thunderblast inc
read archims ping
also execute buff
across all specs
wednesday is happy warrior day
yesterday was my happy day
since 350 mounts
at long last
something i have actively been going for since DF, vault of incarnate
Gz ice golem mount is cool
Unlikely it’s meta, it was already capable of doing the same or more than brew
idgaf if we're meta or not, but getting buffed is always nice
especially when multiple specs get closer to each other in their viability like both fury spec
I don’t see a big meta shakeup until next season, given where rdruid is
our damge wasnt low
I don’t really understand their decision making behind this change but I’m not gonna complain either
it was ppl using 1/4 which makes our damage look low
well they will think twice now
Or maybe they will keep using 1/4 and we’ll get buffed again
that would be even better
Yea but why not buff phalanx if that were the case, instead of blast
but that takes thunderblast to the undisputed top prio
when we decide between tb and ss
That’s not true
okay if we prioritize defense
Would still depend on your rage situation
then not
No
okay how so
Everything is driven by your rage gain and spend
yeah of course
but if we have to decide in favor of ss over tb because we lack rage to cast revenge, haven't we spammed too much ip before in the first place?
So if you have 20 rage, and both shield slam and thunder blast up, it still may not be the right choice to press blast - though it might be
The math will shake out in the next week or so
so tb at 2 stacks to not waste stacks i understand that
but i remember it being a discussion that already now it is situational whether we press tb or ss during avatar
and with 30% dps increase for tb i would think it shifts more in favor of tb
also tb decreases dmg we take by 8% for 5 seconds
which is huge mitigation
and 5 seconds isnt exactly a long time
if after the tb we press ss and then revenge next, a ss proc, another ss proc and...
there goes the dr buff because we didn't prioritize tb
All of that is great but if it leads to a situation where you have negative rage then the overall result will be less damage and less survivability
I’m not saying it is or isn’t better/worse just that it will be apparent once simcraft is updated and the apls get futzed with
Speaking of apls who is doing those now
oh btw
yeah you're right
that is i think the main argument against 4/4 of people who actually use their brain and not just say "duh they all take it"
everything outside of that cone won't deal reduced dmg to you at all
so for those it is 'just' a pure dps talent
the thunderblast dr however works in every direction
I can agree that math wise its worse and that 1/4 is viable is you need maximum survive
but it's basically you don't care enough to aim phalanx appropriately to make it hit the right targets
There's usually a certain number of targets in a pack that really hurt
and those can be aimed at
for bosses it's a no-brainer
4/4 is 100% better there
We have a build that takes the survivability talents while maintaining 4/4
it takes what, ls, bsv and indom?
Mhm
okay so depending on bosses fight trough the flames and spellbreaker and idk bloodsurge plus those three would mean more survivability in certain scenarios
fttf is 6% dr, spellbreaker is a mean 4% dr and bloodsurge i can't really say but extra rage = more ip
compared to 5% dr and increased tc dmg
but most of the dmg we take is physical so
Dear 1/4 apex talent player you have got to be the stupidest idiot i have ever seen
i dont think its a great idea, to use 1/4,, but its an old meme i converted
because i'm playing 4/4 apex and only use bsv
aha
and this is i think what is ment by 'it is not recommended to simply copy top talent builds
What are you doing
i'm playing 4/4 that's what i'm doing
and will continue to do so because i aim my fucking face at the mobs
and 5% dr is stronk
But why are you cooking up a 1/4 build
because i dislike people not having an open mind towards things that are not downright idiotic
a regular dude copying a 1/4 top key player build is stupid
because no thought went into it
for 99% of situations 4/4 is the better build imo
100% afaik
Well spellbreaker is an awful talent
spellbreaker is a mean 4% magical dmg reduction
which is bad talent because most dmg we take is physical
It’s a bad talent because it’s an rng defensive proc
And it often gets wasted because you can’t rely on it so you use a defensive anyways
you can't rely on it that's true
fttf is much better
it's also 50% stronger
even if you take the mean value
can we somewhere grab values of how valuable some defensive talents are compared to each other?
like the heal of indomitable vs the absorb of bloodsurge extra rage etc
i guess there's too many variables
but why not make a defensive sim for this
Warrior gets hit by boss with x% physical and y% magical and then you sim a patchwerk that fights back
Because survival is not epeen related?
i mean come on
there's no need for any of this shit
Including dps sims
Just play down the bosses and rejoice
For most situations you can 100% just equip ilvl and game, I think that’s true
yeah we're on the same page there
Talents would be harder without guides which mostly rely on sims afaik
I’ve personally never been good at cooking up my own builds. Even in like Diablo style games
But we do have reasons to care about damage
Enrage timers, for example
yeah totally
Or pulls in dungeons where if they go too long you’re going to die
also in a 5 man high key tank dps matters a lot
but it's not about dps this time like nim has proven with his sims
This is what people often reject to realize
and say it must be my build
not my gameplay
We have had people running 1/4 builds with ITF before they have the requisite haste and still complete big ol’ dungeons
'Let's check what the pros are doing'
Because they’re talented gamers surrounded by talented gamers
yup
I should stream
With the most cooked builds possible
“3k warrior 0/0 apex what the warrior discord wont tell you”
Id have so many views
Ttvroidburg comin in hot
I even have a great picture of me with a Mohawk giving a thumbs up I could use as a seal of approval
“Skyhold kicked me out because their fragile TC’s couldn’t handle what I cooked up”
Haha yeah
I did keys without any source of shield block 
Or without enraged as fury
I did a 14 in battle stance the other day because I am dumb and forgot to change it back
I tried to cook an arms tank build last expansion, we did eco dome
Didn’t even make it to the first boss, no threat lol
tanking keys as a fury warrior pressing shield block
Yeah threat was an issue after they removed it from the stance
it was funny while it lasted though
a little like hunters forgetting taunt
on their pet
fury with active dstance pulling aggro
'Wtf tank what are you doing'
Are sheilds losing durability quicker than usual? I lost 3 durability in two pulls.
I feel like if I don't repair after each dungeon I am at risk of a broken shield during the run.
Shields on warriors will be under fire a lot, and yes you need to repair basically every key
unless your shield is indestructible
Repair cost is getting a bit silly as a tank imo
Even as dps repair cost has gone up
wait can blacksmiths repair their own gear?
Inflation 
It's basically 1k per dungeon 😅
Thx, 1 k every 2 raid pulls just of repairs
Thank god i have that shield
actually indestructible shield might be turbo bis
yeah it rocks i can tell you
was also my first mythic vault item
I had one 272 slot
the shield was the one
sign of god if you ask me
'Go run more keys, take this shield'
Motivational rngesus is motivational
Might be a way to soften the tank shortage
‚Here, look at this shield, you do want to tank now don‘t you?‘
but it would have to drop in fury loot spec
or arms
Just imagine the face of some fury bonus rolling and then getting an indestructible shield
and his mates are like ‚man that‘s a sign, you‘re destined to tank, go do it‘
yeah it’s pretty incredible
if you spec far enough into the tree you can use your Special Hammer to repair a slot (weapon, shield, wrist, etc), but even the ordinary repair hammers are ~25 gold per and fully repair any piece of gear. with all that, i functionally pay 10% normal repair fees, probably even less
and if you don’t care about professions at all you only need to be blacksmithing level 1 to use the repair hammers and you can just buy them on the AH
Hey everyone,
quick intro: I’ve been playing Devourer DH until recently, but mostly because of guild needs as DPS — I actually always preferred tanking.
Now I want to fully switch back to tank. DH was more of a compromise (ranged playstyle + tank option), but it didn’t really click for me. I used to play Monk a lot back in Pandaria, but not really feeling it right now.
Currently deciding between Warrior and Paladin — both seem to have pros and cons.
How’s Warrior performing right now? Viable in all content, and are there specific comps where it shines or struggles?
Appreciate any input 🙂
I can't speak to the prot paladin experience as I do not play inferior classes, but this is the most fun I've had with warrior tanking in a while. I don't main it, but it feels pretty damn solid in keys. I very rarely have to sweat my HP bouncing, I've got answers for everything, and when I'm running 10s to fill up my vault, I've got the tools to handle all the affixes very easily. It's good.
And the amount of mobility is pretty damn fun.
The other benefit is that prot gear overlaps a lot with arms gear. Get a weapon and some trinkets and it's very little swapping.
What are you guys using to track ignore pain? The bar only shows time remaining, not the amount
Built-in buff bar shows the stacks on the icon.
well it does the stacks are the amount thats left it just shows in percentile not actual number
u can not longer see the actual number because of the addon changes
but u dont need to track ip really as its just a rage dump
Hm k I had a WA that showed the amount remaining as a bar which seemed way more clear to me, but guess that’s not possible anymore
also you don't really need it
is a crit vers wrist good? to fully upgrade or do I save my myth crests
you transform it into tier or use a crafted one
Transform the wrists
crafted isnt worth it anymore tho
cuz myth track goes to 289
Then transform
Judgement looks dope af
embellish is better than 4 itemlvls on wrist and cloak afaik
oh ye true nvm
it is bis tysm
i'll save crests to craft then
if i were to get back into d4 how difficult are these sets to get or are they like paid with currency
Until you do, you can still use the transformed wrists
You buy them pretty sure
haste versa or what is it?
wanna save it
I got 2 rn
3 of my tier set are hero track
💳
yeah thats lame af
I’ve been seeing the screenshots they look amazing!
How will the prot buffs look?
It’ll look exactly the same as it does right now
Thane gets a neat bump and exe is more worthwhile on ST for Thane
For Col, nothing changes

Damn bro spirit airlines is dead
Imagine adding art to another game instead of the actual game it came from 
It’s been dead bro, you ever flown spirit?
I saw that
I didn’t fly spirit but I mean it’s officially dead dead
Let its spirit fly free
I remember flying spirit back from vegas once lmao we got delayed so long it was crazy
My company pays for United 
united is my fav personally
And I steal my fathers mileage rewards and get free 1st class upgrades
Cuz he used to travel a ton for work
@lusty grotto me to your mom
“Swiggity swooty…”
that badass

Boujee af
I wish I would’ve shorted spirit
But also airlines get bailed out all the time
Is execute still not good for colossus?
They really need to add execute benefits to colossus again
Spirit Garbo
We should be riding everywhere via horseback anyways
Or train or wooden frigate
Roid and I are already best friends. Imagine how much more bester friends we would be if we had to travel to like Oregon via horseback
was prot warrior behind in dps or something i was surprised to see the buffs
Hard to compete with Rev being almost twice as much dam per rage, with demo mods on top
surely they will add exe synergy for Col back into things soon
Yes we were terrible. Dead last. Some might say the worst. They will definitely need to buff us another 50% at least
don’t hit me
depends on the context everyone was behind druid on burst
but in general no we werent
thank ppl running 1/4 builds making us look weakier
Told you it is da way
yah the sandbaggers got us buffed lmao
Rejoice
1/4 is preen nova build
as long as we dont do a druid and do no apex
i came across one of them today
30k dps over the dungeon
i died to aggro about 5 times
every time i ascendanced
i was dead pretty much
ele
ok
I meld when i see shammy go super sayan
lol
i gave him time to agrro
elemental is cool ngl
Ive ran into some bad tanks, usually VDH tho I assumed it was that weird build where you deal cone dmg for aggro and if you position badly you dont have aggro
the burst is off the charts
when a shaman ascends everyone just hides
never had a char that melted final quest mobs so heavily while levelling
is elemental during ascendance just 1 button? Enhancer seems to be
worst thing about ele is i cant drop my fuckin lfr trinket
lol why because it's that good?
its from dragons and pumping 1k mastery into ele during acendance is fucking massive
yer but u dont need to wait 2 seconds
look at this delve trinket and vet trinket better than hero feather and 276 heart of wind

i thought ele wanted to stop mast at 1200 but i assume like always its still bis way past that mark?
They must be running out of topics to write about over at Wowhead.. This is equivalent to CNN reporting that the sky is blue . https://www.wowhead.com/news/control-orb-spawns-during-arcanotron-custoss-refueling-protocol-in-magisters-381443
The irony of you posting it as fast as you did

more clicks more money
i mean they got your ass linking it and generating page views
I don't think it's a useless article at all. Anything that helps people learn fights or tricks to make things easier is worth posting 🤷
If you already know then it's just not intended for you
at least its not like the clickbait articles i see all the time. I think the most common one is "80 year old restaurant chain closing doors" then its about 1 of the many closing down one day to renovate lmao
Must be dead game if this
And that’s good tech, idk how known it is but ghash is right
I absolutely cant stand those misleading articles just to get a click
Same Lethal
Like at least once or twice a year, you see the article that's like "Bloodborne players finally getting more Bloodborne after x years!" and it'll be like some audio recording release or something emulator-related or osme shit
magisters terrace is a joke though
8/10 clear rate for that dungeon for me across all key levels
where as caverns as of a month ago was like, 4 or 5 out of 10 clears
its like EXCEPTIONALLY, hard, to go over the timer, on a 10 at least in magisters
whole dungeon doesnt allow for "demon pulling"
that will wipe you
quasi wipe you
you go to fast in that place it punishes you heavlily every single puill
Hey coming back to prot war after a break at the beginning of midnight, any good streamer to follow? Self promotion is welcomed 
topicx is good
sense on yt
Ty
Rip, but honestly they should. Either that or buff execute more
Cause isn’t deep wounds also bugged or just shit?
Like I can’t roll deep wounds to keep stacking to big numbers
dps dying while i'm pulling/grouping mobs then blaming me for threat 🤡
mf wait before you start unloading
did they nerf dwarf ability? in skyreach I couldnt remove the fiery talons from adept
you never could
it's not a bleed. it's fire dot
only removes bleeds, poison, disease and dispellable magic effects
i just learned there will be buff 😄 Thunderblast seems massive, though it kinda leaves Colossus in the dust this way 🤔
just stun/slow and backpedal
slutty desk conversation was heard i guess
is it slamproof?
not my creation of the name, someone here came up with it
i cannot really, i think at least, in good faith upgrade from 4070 to 5070 normal, same gb vram, same 192 bus not 256
isnt there ti version or something?
ye, prices are ludicrus tho
nvidia 🤷♂️
i'm using AMD though had to rewrite some Windows 11 registry settings just so games wouldnt crash with "driver error". But i hear Nvidia has such problems too 😛
gpu is gpu honestly
shitty windows is shitty windows
ya well
you got something better lol
sure linux, if you really want to i guess
besides windows just works
Bazzite is good if you dont wanna learn (much)
These are the tears I enjoy the most
Everytime you post stuff like this i imagine you sitting in a shitty internet café in bangkok
playing old stuff
in flip flops
theres all sorts of 1930s germany symbols and images all over the game
so thats the only place i can take screenshot
I provided tier 5 stuff to craft a wrist and I got tier 4 :((
had that happen to a mage on last boss of skyreach, thankfully he didn't say anything
quality thing bru
I was using throw to get it to the back of the room
did you do a personal or a public WO?
public
oof
yeah, that's always a gamble cause you'll get people just looking to skill up
guild or personal orders are the way to go
can I do smth to increase the quality or do I have to craft it again
You’ll have to recraft but it shouldn’t cost anymore mats
how does that work?
Use /2 trade chat, always bunch of crafting goblins in there to make stuff
wdym not cost mats tho
Same interface, just in the top left you click recraft
it'll cost 25% of the original mats
but you won't need new sparks or crests
^
okay tysm!
thank god bru
Well it'll need new crests and sparks when you recraft in season 2 but that's normal.
ye ofc cuz the ilvl is higher
i'm the one crying cuz of the wasted time 😛
people on 14+s dont know boss mechanics or that they have to wait while tanks pull...
Yeah for all of us Who were slow on pushing its a pain bc u find a lot of brainless ppl on 14s-16s. Today I had a conversation with a guy about that and he told me that IS the price for going slow, now the good players are on higher Keys and the ppl doing that range IS weird, im wiping a lot of DGs bc of ppl not doing mechs, I feel same than when I started pushing from 2 lol
That's what happens when there's new mounts to go after and easier keys
It feels nuts to me that in a few weeks we're all gonna have 298 ilvl shields
speak for yourself ill have a wep
